**[00:05] ---**
*Whoa, hold on...*
**[00:06] ---**
*I didn't hear anything about
facing down Wang with a bluff!*
**[00:09] ---**
*Do we even have
a chance of succeeding here?*
**[00:13] ---**
*I don't know what he's thinking,
but you can't negotiate with this guy!*
**[00:18] ---**
*If Eighth was just a clan of punks
in it for the money, then haggling might work...*
**[00:23] ---**
*...but Wang's not like the other members.*
**[00:27] ---**
*He's the one who must pay!*
**[00:30] ---**
*He's the one who chopped up my kid brother!*
**[00:34] ---**
*I swear I'll kill him here!*
**[00:37] ---**
*But all I've got now are hand grenades.
He'd obviously use his teleporting Sigil to dodge.*
**[00:42] ---**
*I've got to wait for a moment
when he can't teleport.*
**[00:46] ---**
*That'll be the moment
he uses his Sigil to chop me up!*
**[00:50] ---**
*So stay out of this, Kaname!*
**[02:24] ---**
EPISODE 08
FRAGILE
**[02:27] ---**
But I already told you.
Eighth's deals are all about take-and-take.
**[02:32] ---**
Well, as a reward, I'll make your execution
as painless as possible.
**[02:37] ---**
That so?
**[02:38] ---**
If you're gonna be like that,
then you leave me no choice.
**[02:43] ---**
I assumed you'd understand
the value of the key.
**[02:48] ---**
*A cheap bluff isn't gonna work on him!*
**[02:51] ---**
*Being unable to read Kaname's mind is a pain.*
**[02:51] ---**
LIE LIE LIE
**[02:55] ---**
*The only thing my Sigil can tell me
is whether someone's lying or not.*
**[03:00] ---**
You wanna shoot it, go ahead.
**[03:02] ---**
I doubt that's the key to the real treasure.
**[03:05] ---**
*I'm surprised.*
**[03:06] ---**
*Is Wang actually interested in Kaname's spiel?*
**[03:12] ---**
Well, you'll just have to take my word for it.
**[03:15] ---**
The codes definitely indicate coordinates
for Shibuya Station.
**[03:19] ---**
But without the diamond code,
you won't get to the real treasure.
**[03:23] ---**
Incidentally, the diamond code is 888001.
**[03:23] ---**
LIE LIE LIE
**[03:27] ---**
You can split it up into "888" and "001."
**[03:31] ---**
In relation to Shibuya Station,
888 obviously means the statue of Hachiko.
**[03:31] ---**
LIE LIE LIE
**[03:36] ---**
I found this key after checking.
**[03:38] ---**
So that just left the question
of what is this key for?
**[03:41] ---**
Then it hit me.
This is the key to a safety deposit box.
**[03:41] ---**
LIE LIE LIE
**[03:45] ---**
And since I figured that out, the meaning of
the remaining "001" could only be one thing.
**[03:49] ---**
The real treasure is in a safety deposit box
at Inaho Bank, branch 001.
**[03:57] ---**
*He's full of crap.*
**[03:59] ---**
*But will Wang buy into it?*
**[04:03] ---**
*It sounds plausible enough,
but he's got nothing to back it up.*
**[04:08] ---**
*I can't quite figure out his angle.*
**[04:10] ---**
Wang, maybe wastin' him isn't a good idea?
I mean, there's gotta be a fortune stashed away.
**[04:15] ---**
Shut up for a minute.
**[04:18] ---**
*The rewards for this event are worth
billions of yen from just the rings alone.*
**[04:23] ---**
*The real treaure must make that
look like chump change.*
**[04:26] ---**
*Then there's the rumor that whoever clears the event
will be given a special privilege in D-Game.*
**[04:33] ---**
*I can't ignore that.*
**[04:36] ---**
Very well, I guarantee your safety.
**[04:41] ---**
But this guy is a different story.
**[04:45] ---**
Anything more would be too greedy on your part.
**[04:47] ---**
And once I'm in the middle of an execution,
I just gotta see it through.
**[04:55] ---**
Fine by me!
**[04:56] ---**
We just teamed up out of convenience.
It's not like we're buddies or anything.
**[05:05] ---**
Ryuji, my man,
you just got tossed to the wolves!
**[05:08] ---**
That's what D-Game's all about!
**[05:16] ---**
*Thank you, Kaname.*
**[05:19] ---**
*In the end, you showed me
that my Sigil isn't a worthless piece of crap.*
**[05:23] ---**
We've got us a deal.
**[05:25] ---**
Alright, but...
**[05:27] ---**
If it turns out you're screwing with me,
I'll kill you on the spot.
**[05:31] ---**
*Kaname, just one moment!
Somehow, give me that opening!*
**[05:35] ---**
*I swear I'll kill him then!*
**[05:39] ---**
Wang, if you think I might be lying,
you can check out this key for yourself.
**[05:45] ---**
Here! Take a good look!
**[05:54] ---**
*I'm grateful, Kaname!
This is my chance to kill—*
**[05:57] ---**
I'll tell you my philosophy.
**[06:01] ---**
No matter what path you follow,
**[06:03] ---**
the one who's still alive at the end is the winner!
**[06:09] ---**
*This is a gamble!
There's no guarantee it'll work.*
**[06:12] ---**
*But this is the only possible
way of winning I could find!*
**[06:15] ---**
PASSCODE
**[06:18] ---**
*The diamond code is 185911.*
**[06:23] ---**
*That sequence refers to the month and year in which
Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" was published.*
**[06:30] ---**
*That number has a connection to D-Game,
but I don't see any correlation to Shibuya Station.*
**[06:36] ---**
*But the odd thing is that it isn't just
the year or full date,*
**[06:40] ---**
*but only the month and year.*
**[06:43] ---**
*Something unnatural like that
must have a purpose.*
**[06:46] ---**
*Perhaps the numbers have no meaning,
other than being a passcode.*
**[06:51] ---**
*Then the important thing is the number of digits.*
**[06:54] ---**
*And the only thing at Shibuya Station
that uses six-digit passcodes*
**[06:59] ---**
*are the coin lockers at the south exit.*
**[06:59] ---**
PLEASE ENTER PASSCODE
**[07:01] ---**
RETRIEVE ITEM
**[07:02] ---**
This is the key to a safety deposit box? I don't—
**[07:06] ---**
Sorry! I threw you the wrong one!
**[07:09] ---**
That's the key to my scooter.
**[07:18] ---**
Mow down that brat right now!
**[07:20] ---**
We can't!
Once teleportation starts, you can't move!
**[07:26] ---**
This is what you get, Wang!
Face it, he outsmarted you!
**[07:30] ---**
Scum! I know your face now!
**[07:34] ---**
I'm gonna cut you up and feed you to pigs!
**[07:37] ---**
I've already forgotten your ugly face!
**[07:42] ---**
*This is a notice to all participants
of the Treasure Hunt Game.*
**[07:45] ---**
*The game has just been cleared.*
**[07:48] ---**
Wait, that means it's over, right?
I wonder which side won.
**[07:53] ---**
Isn't that obvious?
**[07:55] ---**
THE TREASURE HUNT GAME
HAS BEEN CLEARED BY KANAME SUDO.
CONGRATULATIONS!
**[07:55] ---**
You did it, Kaname.
**[07:58] ---**
I was lucky to meet you. There's no way
I could've escaped the hotel on my own.
**[08:06] ---**
I-It's over!
**[08:08] ---**
The Shibuya Treasure Hunt Game is done!
**[08:12] ---**
The winner is an unknown newbie, Kaname Sudo!
**[08:16] ---**
Oh my, what a stunning upset.
**[08:19] ---**
Did any of the customers bet on him?
**[08:23] ---**
I won.
**[08:24] ---**
Well, congratulations.
**[08:26] ---**
I'll exchange that for you.
**[08:28] ---**
No, I'm good.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm sure receiving it with my own hands
will be much more satisfying.
**[08:38] ---**
It's over?
**[08:56] ---**
This is the treasure?
**[08:58] ---**
This is what we fought over?
**[09:06] ---**
*First of all, congratulations, Kaname Sudo!*
**[09:09] ---**
*A brilliant victory that defied my expectations!*
**[09:14] ---**
Who...
**[09:16] ---**
Who are you?!
**[09:18] ---**
*Knowing you,
I'm sure you've already figured that out.*
**[09:22] ---**
I see. So you're the one...
**[09:24] ---**
You're the host of this game!
**[09:26] ---**
*Bingo!
A thousand points for Kaname Sudo!*
**[09:31] ---**
*This should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
that I'm the Game Master.*
**[09:35] ---**
YOU HAVE BEEN AWARDED 1000P!
**[09:35] ---**
*Has it?*
**[09:37] ---**
Game Master?
**[09:39] ---**
Meaning, you created this goddamned game
and dragged me and my friend into it?!
**[09:45] ---**
*I didn't exactly create it.
You could say that I built the interface.*
**[09:51] ---**
Don't give me some bullshit excuse!
**[09:53] ---**
*Point taken.*
**[09:54] ---**
*Well, that aside.
why don't we cut to the chase?*
**[09:58] ---**
The chase?
**[09:59] ---**
*That's right, so maybe you can
quell your anger and at least listen?*
**[10:04] ---**
*This is an opportunity for you.*
**[10:07] ---**
*And it may be the only time we can speak.*
**[10:12] ---**
Damn! All right, say what you wanna say.
**[10:15] ---**
*First, you did a great job winning the game,*
**[10:18] ---**
*so I want you to accept the fabulous prizes
without any reservations.*
**[10:22] ---**
*To start, you get 10,000 completion bonus points.*
**[10:25] ---**
*How about I take half of that and share it among
the participating players in your friend list?*
**[10:30] ---**
*You'll get the rest, plus a 237-point survival bonus
for the battle royal mode, for a total of 5,237 points.*
**[10:40] ---**
*But the points are like an extra prize.*
**[10:43] ---**
*As the winner of this difficult event,
you get a unique privilege within Darwin's Game.*
**[10:51] ---**
Privilege?
**[10:52] ---**
Tell me what you wish for.
**[10:55] ---**
*Of course, it's limited to something
I can actually make happen.*
**[10:58] ---**
*Things like bringing someone back to life
or becoming immortal is impossible.*
**[11:03] ---**
Well, doesn't sound like much of a prize.
**[11:06] ---**
*I'm not God, after all.*
**[11:08] ---**
*At most, I'm just a stand-in.*
**[11:11] ---**
Fine, then how about I want to
quit this game right now?
**[11:14] ---**
*I'm unable to grant that one.
It'd work against my goals.*
**[11:18] ---**
More like, "I'll make your wish come true,
but only if it's convenient for me."
**[11:23] ---**
*I never said I'd make "any" wish come true.*
**[11:26] ---**
*But in the past,
I have fulfilled requests as much as possible.*
**[11:30] ---**
*For one event winner, I granted access to
the gambling den that revolves around Darwin's Game.*
**[11:35] ---**
*For another winner,
I approved a point match at his place of business.*
**[11:40] ---**
*And once, I granted a contract system
for an insurance business and–*
**[11:44] ---**
My only request is to quit!
**[11:46] ---**
*You're stubborn.*
**[11:47] ---**
*I can't grant that wish,
but there are two ways to quit Darwin's Game.*
**[11:54] ---**
What?!
**[11:55] ---**
*The first is by completing Darwin's Game.*
**[12:00] ---**
*If the game is completed, the objective is achieved
and Darwin's Game itself automatically ends.*
**[12:06] ---**
*I would give anything for that conclusion.*
**[12:10] ---**
What's the other way?
**[12:12] ---**
*Killing me and completely destroying
Darwin's Game's system.*
**[12:20] ---**
*Think.*
**[12:21] ---**
*This sucks all around,
but if you can think of a decent privilege,*
**[12:25] ---**
*you may be able to prevent being killed
and having to kill other people.*
**[12:29] ---**
*But what kind of privilege would allow for that?*
**[12:33] ---**
*Something to make people hesitate
before joining D-Game...*
**[12:36] ---**
*If it's a privilege that acts as a deterrent,
maybe the Game Master would allow it.*
**[12:44] ---**
I'm ready to make my request.
**[12:46] ---**
*Right, I'm all ears.*
**[12:47] ---**
The privilege I want is—
**[12:52] ---**
*Now that's interesting!
I'll grant you that privilege!*
**[12:55] ---**
*Oh, I almost forgot...
I have one more gift for you.*
**[13:03] ---**
*Fire God of Iron.*
**[13:04] ---**
*A new type of Sigil, which is rare in itself.
But that's the name of your Sigil.*
**[13:10] ---**
*Well, I pray your wish comes true.*
**[13:14] ---**
*Good luck.*
**[13:29] ---**
*It has been two months since
the large-scale terrorist bombings in Shibuya,*
**[13:33] ---**
*but even now, the truth about
what happened remains elusive.*
**[13:38] ---**
*The area around the collapsed luxury hotel
and other locations are still sealed off.*
**[13:52] ---**
*Two months already?
I've been alone all that time.*
**[13:56] ---**
*You guys are such jerks.*
**[14:01] ---**
*Summer vacation starts tomorrow.
Where are those guys and what are they doing?*
**[14:07] ---**
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs.
**[14:12] ---**
They left their parents
and each decided to build a house.
**[14:18] ---**
The oldest pig made a house out of straw.
**[14:21] ---**
The middle pig made a house out of wood.
**[14:24] ---**
The youngest pig made a house out of bricks.
**[14:27] ---**
But then a big wolf appeared.
**[14:30] ---**
He blew down the house of straw
and swallowed the pig whole.
**[14:35] ---**
Then he burned down the house of wood,
roasting the pig before gobbling him up.
**[14:39] ---**
Finally, the wolf went to the house of bricks...
**[14:43] ---**
...and used a hammer to break through the wall.
**[14:45] ---**
He minced up the pig and snarfed him down.
**[14:48] ---**
After that, the wolf had a full belly
and lived happily ever after.
**[14:53] ---**
That's not the story as I know it!
**[14:55] ---**
So, question. What lesson was I trying
to impart with this story?
**[15:00] ---**
If you're a pig, no matter how hard you work,
you'll never beat the wolf in the end?
**[15:06] ---**
That's a sad parable of
the survival of the fittest.
**[15:08] ---**
Bzzt! Zero points for Sui.
**[15:11] ---**
What I wanted to say with this story is...
**[15:13] ---**
Straw is out of the question.
Wood burns far too easily.
**[15:16] ---**
And bricks aren't very tremor-resistant.
**[15:20] ---**
I rewrote the old story
to reflect Japan's living conditions.
**[15:24] ---**
So you made that story up, Shuka...
**[15:29] ---**
The point is, when buying a house,
I won't compromise when it comes to safety.
**[15:34] ---**
You're buying a house?
**[15:36] ---**
We formed a clan,
so now we need a base, right?
**[15:39] ---**
You're a member after a fashion,
so I'll grant you one request.
**[15:43] ---**
W-Well, let's see...
**[15:45] ---**
If possible, I'd like a home with a yard.
**[15:50] ---**
This doesn't have a yard,
but you could use the roof as a de facto one.
**[15:53] ---**
A building?
You can buy a building in that area?
**[15:56] ---**
You can do pretty much anything
if you've got the money.
**[15:59] ---**
Besides, I earned a bundle from that last event.
**[16:01] ---**
But do we need a building?
We don't have that many people.
**[16:05] ---**
Like I said, safety is important.
**[16:09] ---**
A base isn't just a hangout.
**[16:11] ---**
A building is about the only kind
of structure that's easily fortified,
**[16:15] ---**
which is why most of the major clans buy them.
**[16:17] ---**
The issue is where to settle down.
**[16:21] ---**
This one's in Minato Ward, close to here,
but it's also kind of close to Shibuya.
**[16:25] ---**
I see.
**[16:26] ---**
Shibuya is the home turf
of those scary Eighth guys.
**[16:31] ---**
*We should really just wipe those bastards out.*
**[16:41] ---**
I apologize for coming unannounced.
**[16:45] ---**
Um, who are you?
**[16:47] ---**
I am Hideaki Kanehira
of the Kanehira Insurance Union.
**[16:54] ---**
An insurance company?
**[16:56] ---**
I'm a minor, so I can't sign a contract
with you or any company.
**[17:01] ---**
Oh, no, I'm not here to sell you anything.
**[17:05] ---**
I'm here to pay insurance money
to the designated beneficiary, Suzune Hiiragi.
**[17:10] ---**
Insurance money?
**[17:12] ---**
The sum payable at the death
of your father, Ichiro Hiiragi.
**[17:18] ---**
I would like to offer my deepest sympathy.
**[17:21] ---**
Please leave!
**[17:23] ---**
*Well, it's only natural...*
**[17:27] ---**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[17:29] ---**
Looks like she kicked you out.
**[17:31] ---**
I left the check with her.
**[17:34] ---**
Well, that's fine, I guess.
**[17:36] ---**
I was asked to make sure
she got the insurance money.
**[17:42] ---**
For the Kanehira Insurance Union,
trust comes first.
**[17:45] ---**
By the way, Miss Rein,
would you introduce me to Kaname Sudo?
**[17:50] ---**
It's not like I'm Kaname's manager.
**[17:53] ---**
I've heard he's formed a clan.
**[17:56] ---**
You have sharp ears.
**[17:58] ---**
Oh, no. I don't hold a candle to the Analyst.
**[18:01] ---**
I'd just like to be on good terms
with such a promising clan.
**[18:06] ---**
Well, I'll talk to you soon.
**[18:12] ---**
*That guy is like a phantom, as always.*
**[18:15] ---**
Insurance man! Please, wa—
**[18:19] ---**
I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
**[18:25] ---**
Your name is Rein?
**[18:27] ---**
That's cool, like the name
of someone from another country.
**[18:29] ---**
Yes, well...
**[18:32] ---**
It's a pain when people read my name wrong
because of the character, though...
**[18:36] ---**
It looks like it should be "suzu,"
but it's really read as "Rein."
**[18:39] ---**
Wow! The same as me!
**[18:40] ---**
My name also has the character for "suzu,"
but it's read as "Suzune."
**[18:43] ---**
Nice to meet you, Rein.
**[18:45] ---**
But I'm really sorry for running into you earlier.
**[18:48] ---**
Is your arm okay?
**[18:50] ---**
It's almost healed up anyway.
**[18:54] ---**
Just before that, a stranger came by
and dropped off a strange check.
**[18:58] ---**
I scrambled after him to return it, when...
**[19:01] ---**
It's probably just a prank, but...
**[19:04] ---**
Do you think this check is real?
**[19:06] ---**
He said he was with some insurance company,
but seemed really suspicious.
**[19:11] ---**
Why don't you take it to a bank
and have them verify it?
**[19:14] ---**
If it is real, it would be a waste not to deposit it.
**[19:16] ---**
I-It can't be...
**[19:19] ---**
It can't be real.
**[19:21] ---**
After all, he said it was money to be paid
when my father dies!
**[19:28] ---**
Suzune, if you're determined to know the truth
about Ichiro Hiiragi, please contact me.
**[19:37] ---**
"Information Broker?"
**[19:39] ---**
You know something about my father?
**[19:42] ---**
Who are you, Rein?
**[19:45] ---**
I just buy and sell information.
**[19:47] ---**
Sometimes people call me the Analyst.
**[19:55] ---**
DOCTOR'S OFFICE
**[19:56] ---**
All right, try moving it.
**[19:59] ---**
Do you feel any pain or discomfort?
Does it move as expected?
**[20:03] ---**
This is incredible!
**[20:04] ---**
You should've healed Rein, too!
**[20:07] ---**
She's almost healed already,
so better to let nature do the rest.
**[20:12] ---**
I really appreciate this.
I mean, I don't have the words to thank you...
**[20:15] ---**
Danjo and Kaede.
**[20:17] ---**
That's all right. I'm happy that my Sigil,
Healing Grace, can be used to help people.
**[20:23] ---**
He asked us to treat you as part of his request.
It's no problem at all.
**[20:27] ---**
By the way, can I ask you something?
**[20:29] ---**
What is it?
**[20:31] ---**
Why do you go by "Kaede" and "Danjo"?
**[20:34] ---**
You're both Russian, right?
**[20:36] ---**
Oh, you're curious about that?
**[20:38] ---**
We may not look like it,
but we're major Japanophiles!
**[20:44] ---**
*So just what they look like...*
**[20:46] ---**
Anyway, you've got a big place here.
**[20:49] ---**
How many clan members do you have?
**[20:51] ---**
It's not like everyone here
is involved with D-Game.
**[20:54] ---**
We've only got 26 D-Game players.
**[20:59] ---**
The Danjo Boxing Club
was originally a normal kickboxing gym.
**[21:03] ---**
So why did you start playing the game?
**[21:06] ---**
It'll probably sound silly.
**[21:08] ---**
A martial artist is someone who
seriously aspires to be the strongest in the world.
**[21:15] ---**
If you're a martial artist,
it's something you've thought at least once.
**[21:18] ---**
When you're actually facing a blade,
will your skill see you through?
**[21:23] ---**
What if it's a gun?
**[21:26] ---**
Or even a tank?
**[21:28] ---**
To a martial artist, the Sigils of D-Game
are equivalent to a demon's temptation.
**[21:34] ---**
So are you able to beat a tank nowadays, Danjo?
**[21:41] ---**
If it's one on one.
**[21:49] ---**
Master Danjo!
**[21:50] ---**
Good to see you!
**[21:51] ---**
How is he coming along?
**[21:53] ---**
To be honest, not bad.
**[21:55] ---**
He's only been at it for two months
and it's just basic bodybuilding...
**[21:59] ---**
...but the kid's got great reflexes and resolve,
**[22:02] ---**
so if there's no pinning involved, I could see him
holding his own in a match against one of his peers.
**[22:07] ---**
Oh, really?
In other words, he's ready.
**[22:12] ---**
In any case, that means
all of your requests have been fulfilled.
**[22:16] ---**
Ryuji's injury has been healed
and your training has made you strong.
**[22:20] ---**
So may we proceed with that conversation?
**[22:23] ---**
I'd be happy to. Right now?
**[22:27] ---**
You're forming a clan and want an alliance with us.
**[22:30] ---**
I can sympathize with your principles and purpose.
We have no problem there.
**[22:34] ---**
Then...
**[22:35] ---**
However, in an alliance,
if there aren't merits for both sides,
**[22:38] ---**
it definitely will not last.
**[22:40] ---**
Without strength, principles and purpose
are empty and will fade away.
**[22:44] ---**
Fight me.
**[22:46] ---**
I shall measure whether you are
worthy of forming an alliance with.
**[22:49] ---**
M-Master, you mean to fight him yourself?!
**[22:51] ---**
He appeared before me as a fellow clan leader.
**[22:55] ---**
Therefore, it has to be me.
**[22:58] ---**
This is a match, but come at me
with everything you've got, Kaname.
**[23:02] ---**
Everything? You mean Sigils are okay?
**[23:05] ---**
Of course. Anything goes.
**[23:07] ---**
My style is "no holds barred."
**[23:18] ---**
Oh, so you are home!
**[23:26] ---**
You're a friend of Kaname Sudo, right?
**[23:30] ---**
Welcome. I've been waiting for you!
**[23:35] ---**
NEXT TIME: HEADS UP
**[23:36] ---**
Next time, "Heads Up."
