[00:10] Mio     Even now, after so, so long, [00:14] Mio     my memory of it hasn't faded in the slightest. [00:18] Mio     But how I've longed to see him, [00:21] Mio     even if it were only in a dream... [00:27] Mio     I miss him. [00:29] Mio     I want to see him one more time... [00:44] CloneA     Am I... [00:45] CloneB     All right? [00:47] Kurumi     Yes. [00:48] Kurumi     More importantly, is Ms. Murasame... [00:51] Kurumi     No, is Phantom nearby? [00:54] CloneC     She's nowhere in the vicinity. [00:56] CloneA     It would seem she's disappeared. [00:59] Kurumi     That was too easy. [01:02] Kurumi     Though a Spirit that's divided its power     too greatly wouldn't amount to much more. [01:07] Kurumi     However, defeating Phantom doesn't     mean I've achieved my goal. [01:14] CloneB     Yes, yes. Of course not. [01:18] CloneC     Our goal isn't the present fragmented fool. [01:22] CloneC     It's the monster of the past     at its full power. [01:26] CloneA     Still, why would Phantom divide     her power to create more Spirits? [01:34] CloneA     She must have known that would     inevitably spell her own decline. [01:39] Kotori     So you're saying Kurumi     has saved you over 204 times? [01:44] Shido     Yeah. [01:45] Shido     Every time I got killed, [01:47] Shido     she rewound time and stopped DEM's attack. [01:51] Shido     Kurumi's goal is to go back in time     and defeat the Spirit of Origin [01:55] Shido     in order to save her best friend. [01:58] Shido     She also means to prevent all tragedy     caused by Spirits before it ever happens. [02:04] Shido     And she needs my Spirit power to do that. [02:09] Tohka     I can't believe that's what was     going on with Kurumi... [02:13] Yoshino     I'm surprised. [02:16] Miku     So even the Sephirah within each of us [02:19] Miku     were refined at the cost of     countless human lives... [02:24] Miku     I have mixed feelings about that. [02:28] Kotori     Whatever Kurumi's reasons may be, [02:31] Kotori     we can't afford to hand over      Shido's Spirit power. [02:34] Kotori     That comes above all else. [02:35] Kotori     For one thing, [02:37] Kotori     we don't have any guarantee that Kurumi     can even defeat this Spirit of Origin. [02:41] Mana     Her story's also hard for me to believe. [02:45] Shido     That's right. You've fought Kurumi     plenty of times already. [02:49] Shido     But— [02:50] Mana     Even so! [02:51] Mana     If you ask me if it's more likely      that you're lying to me, big brother, [02:56] Mana     then I'm forced to believe you two     by a narrow margin. [02:59] Natsumi     This is getting complicated. [03:01] Natsumi     Though I understand what you're getting at. [03:05] Mana     More importantly, big brother, [03:07] Mana     there's one other thing     I'm very concerned about. [03:10] Shido     Hmm? [03:11] Mana     This Mio Takamiya woman     that came up in your story. [03:15] Mana     I find it hard to believe     she's unrelated to you and me. [03:19] Mana     If her last name really is Takamiya, [03:21] Mana     then there's a chance she's family.      A blood relative. [03:26] Shido     I was curious about that too. [03:28] Shido     Who is this Mio Takamiya? [03:31] Shido     And what is she creating Spirits for? [03:34] Kotori     She gave Kurumi her Sephirah     and made her a Spirit. [03:38] Kotori     Sounds like the Phantom     that appeared before us. [03:42] Kaguya     Mio Takamiya... [03:43] Kaguya     Phantom... [03:45] Kaguya     And the Spirit of Origin     that Kurumi mentioned... [03:48] Yuzuru     Question. [03:49] Yuzuru     What is the relationship between all three? [03:55] Nia     If only we could use my Raziel... [03:58] Nia     Then we'd have our answer in an instant. [04:01] Mukuro     Indeed, it's a peculiar story, but... [04:04] Mukuro     If you're so curious, [04:07] Mukuro     all you have to do is     remember your past, right? [04:11] Shido     If only I could. [04:14] Shido     But both Mana and I have lost     our memories. [04:18] Shido     We don't even know a single     thing about why we lost them. [04:23] Mukuro     You told me that before. [04:26] Mukuro     That's why I'm saying     you should try remembering. [04:30] Shido     You think I can? [04:32] Mukuro     My Michael is an absolute key. [04:35] Mukuro     There's nothing it can't open. [04:37] Mukuro     Not even the door to your sealed memories. [04:44] Natsumi     Hold on! [04:45] Natsumi     Is it safe to do something like that? [04:47] Miku     I don't know what happened in the past, [04:51] Miku     but it won't harm Darling [04:52] Miku     the moment he remembers, will it? [04:56] Mana     Big brother... [04:57] Shido     I'll be all right. [04:58] Shido     Don't worry. [05:00] Shido     This isn't just about     our connection to Mio Takamiya. [05:03] Shido     I want to know what happened in our past [05:06] Shido     more than anyone else. [05:11] Kotori     Shido... [05:13] Shido     Michael! [05:19] Shido     Okay, here I go. [05:21] Tohka     Yeah! [05:22] Mukuro     Don't worry. [05:24] Mukuro     Believe in Michael. [05:27] Miku     Such a long, hard object is going into Darling! [05:30] Kotori     Miku, be quiet for a bit. [05:30] Miku     No! You can't! Don't! [06:03] Reine     Oh, you've awakened, Shin. [06:06] Shido     Wha?! [06:07] Reine     Hmm? Is something wrong? [06:11] Shido     Oh, no, it's nothing. [06:14] Tohka     Shido! [06:16] Tohka     Are you okay? [06:17] Kotori     Shido! [06:18] Yoshino     Please take it easy. [06:21] Shido     What's this now? [06:23] Shido     What's going on? [06:24] Kaguya     What do you mean, "What's going on"?! [06:26] Kaguya     You suddenly collapsed and gave us a fright! [06:29] Yuzuru     Agreed. [06:30] Yuzuru     After inserting Michael into your head, [06:32] Yuzuru     you passed out. [06:34] Shido     Huh? [06:37] Shido     I see. Sorry. [06:39] Shido     Guess I worried you all. [06:41] Kotori     No, what matters is you woke up. [06:43] Origami     I knew my kiss would work. [06:45] Origami     It woke Sleeping Beauty. [06:47] Shido     Huh? [06:48] Kotori     What nonsense are you spouting now? [06:50] Kotori     Don't listen to her, Shido. [06:52] Origami     Wait a minute now. [06:54] Origami     There are numerous particles      floating in this space, [06:58] Origami     so you can't say for certain that ones     from my breath didn't reach Shido's. [07:03] Origami     So I see no problem with regarding      this as an indirect kiss. [07:07] Miku     Hold it right there, Professor! [07:09] Miku     That would mean that me and everyone     in this same room have been... [07:15] Origami     Deeply entwined in a deep kiss. [07:18] Miku     I can't believe such genius lies here! [07:20] Miku     What has the scientific world     been doing this whole time?! [07:23] Tohka     Hold on. I'm not following now. [07:27] Tohka     Just how are we all entwined? [07:29] Miku     I'll explain it in practice later! [07:31] Miku     While Natsumi joins us for a three-way! [07:34] Natsumi     Could you not rope me into this too? [07:35] Mukuro     I'm sorry, Master. [07:37] Mukuro     This was all because     I suggested using Michael. [07:40] Shido     Oh, no. Nothing's actually wrong. [07:44] Shido     See? I'm just fine! [07:47] Mukuro     Master... [07:48] Mana     So, big brother, [07:50] Mana     what happened? [07:52] Mana     Did you remember anything? [07:54] Shido     Well, I... [07:57] Shido     Huh? That's odd. [07:59] Shido     I'm certain I saw something. [08:03] Shido     Yet I can't remember anything. [08:08] Reine     There's no need to hurry, Shin. [08:12] Reine     You can just think of another way. [08:15] Shido     Reine... [08:16] Mana     Then could you try it on me too, big brother? [08:20] Shido     Huh? [08:21] Mana     It might not have worked for you,     but I might be able to remember something. [08:26] Mana     Whether it's about Mio Takamiya [08:29] Mana     or whatever happened to us in the past. [08:32] Kotori     Yeah, yeah. [08:32] Kotori     We'll try that later, okay? [08:34] Kotori     Right now, let's wait     for Shido to recover first. [08:37] Mana     Huh? [08:38] Mana     What's the big idea? [08:42] Shido     She's right. [08:44] Shido     I'm sorry, Mana. [08:45] Shido     Can we try it another time? [08:47] Mana     Hmm? [08:51] Ellen     Ike, you said you found something? [08:54] Westcott     How has Nightmare, Kurumi Tokisaki, [08:57] Westcott     been able to interfere     with every one of our attacks? [09:02] Westcott     She's been aware of our plans in advance. [09:07] Westcott     To be precise,     she's actually experienced them, [09:10] Westcott     then altered things each time [09:13] Westcott     to avoid Shido Itsuka's death. [09:17] Ellen     What? [09:18] Artemisia     That would spell trouble. [09:21] Artemisia     It means we'll always be a step behind. [09:24] Westcott     Indeed. [09:26] Westcott     Though we're not necessarily     at a disadvantage. [09:29] Westcott     Any strategy we conduct several times, [09:32] Westcott     Nightmare will have to face     several hundred times. [09:35] Westcott     Repeating the same thing     over and over will exhaust her mind. [09:39] Westcott     Even Nightmare can't have     endless stamina and willpower. [09:46] Ellen     Are you suggesting we wait     until Nightmare gives up? [09:51] Westcott     That's our most certain option. [09:53] Westcott     However, there's still a chance [09:56] Westcott     Nightmare could come up with     some solution we won't be able to think of. [10:01] Westcott     So we should also do everything in our power [10:04] Westcott     to ensure she gives up as soon as possible. [10:10] NibeelcoleA     Father, Father! [10:12] NibeelcoleA     Look, look! [10:13] NibeelcoleB     We caught this. [10:15] Both     Nightmare! [10:16] Westcott     Eavesdropping, huh? [10:18] Westcott     Well done, Nibeelcole. [10:21] NibeelcoleA     But several people she was with got away. [10:24] NibeelcoleB     They might have overheard your conversation. [10:28] Westcott     What's wrong with that? [10:30] Westcott     Let's have an all-out war with full knowledge      of each other's capabilities. [10:35] Westcott     There's still at least one of you left, right? [10:38] Westcott     Tell your master for me... [10:41] Westcott     I will kill Itsuka Shido. [10:46] Westcott     No matter how many times you go back in time. [10:49] Westcott     No matter how often you redo this world [10:52] Westcott     or how often you rewrite history. [10:56] Westcott     I'll be so thorough that     there's no overturning it. [11:00] Westcott     Now, struggle all you like, [11:04] Westcott     vilest Spirit. [11:12] Shido     I was relieved Mana     backed down for us yesterday. [11:16] Kotori     She had her magic power      enhanced by DEM, after all. [11:20] Kotori     If she'd recalled those memories too, [11:22] Kotori     it would have been pretty damaging. [11:25] Kotori     Even if we want intel on Mio Takamiya. [11:28] Shido     Mio Takamiya, huh? [11:32] Shido     I wonder why... [11:33] Shido     I feel sure I've known     that name for a long time now. [11:42] Shido     Kurumi! [11:43] PatchKurumi     Good day, Shido, Kotori. [11:48] Kotori     Good morning, Kurumi. [11:50] Kotori     You're wearing an awfully     nice outfit today, aren't you? [11:53] Shido     It's her clone. [11:55] Shido     Thank you for last night. [11:56] PatchKurumi     I should thank you. [11:58] PatchKurumi     But it's still too early for you      to be thanking me. [12:02] Shido     Huh? [12:03] PatchKurumi     On February 20th, DEM Industries     will use their full forces [12:09] PatchKurumi     to come kill you, Shido. [12:13] PatchKurumi     I came here today to warn you of that. [12:19] Kotori     So, what's your objective? [12:23] PatchKurumi     To be honest, [12:24] PatchKurumi     the main body of Kurumi Tokisaki doesn't     know that I, her clone, am here right now. [12:31] PatchKurumi     The real me intends to handle     this matter all on our own. [12:37] PatchKurumi     She plans to repeat time as often as it takes [12:40] PatchKurumi     to seize a future in which Shido survives. [12:45] PatchKurumi     However, our enemy is aware of her resolve. [12:49] PatchKurumi     That's why they're using their full forces. [12:52] PatchKurumi     DEM's operation [12:54] PatchKurumi     is also an attempt to break my spirit     as I pass through time. [13:00] Kotori     So the real reason you're here is     to encourage Shido to evacuate? [13:06] PatchKurumi     That alone is not the entirety of the truth. [13:09] Shido     Huh? [13:11] PatchKurumi     It would be a waste for Shido     to remain in the dark [13:14] PatchKurumi     when I'm working so hard     to protect him, wouldn't it? [13:22] Shido     I get it. [13:26] PatchKurumi     Now, if you'll excuse me. [13:28] PatchKurumi     Please do survive this, Shido. [13:32] Shido     Kurumi! [13:33] PatchKurumi     Yes, what is it? [13:36] Shido     If it's possible, tell Kurumi: [13:40] Shido     "Thank you. I'm still alive because of you. [13:44] Shido     But I won't be the one     in need of saving forever. [13:47] Shido     Once we've taken care of DEM,     I'll come to seal your Spirit power—" [13:52] Shido     No, that's not right. [13:55] Shido     "This time, I'll be the one to steal a kiss. [13:59] Shido     So prepare yourself, my honey." [14:09] PatchKurumi     What a wonderful retort. [14:12] PatchKurumi     I'm truly blessed. [14:30] Sign     Wednesday, February 15th [14:30] Sign     You have a new message. [14:32] Sign     Kotori [14:32] Sign     Today [14:32] Sign     Reine, come to the meeting room     We have an emergency. [14:33] Reine     You're coming, Wizard? [14:36] Kotori     The situation is dire. [14:39] Kotori     Judging from the state of things, [14:40] Kotori     the information we received from     Kurumi's clone is worth believing. [14:44] Kotori     Though we also can't afford     to run and hide forever. [14:48] Kaguya     But there's no negotiating either. [14:51] Yuzuru     Certainly. [14:53] Yuzuru     There's no room for discussion here. [14:55] Tohka     Which means... [14:56] Kotori     We only have one option left. [14:58] Kotori     Defeating DEM. [15:01] Kotori     Of course, that's easier said than done. [15:04] Kotori     But we'll have to go on the offensive [15:07] Kotori     in order to seize our own future. [15:10] Woodman     That's right, Commander Itsuka. [15:13] Shido     Mr. Woodman! [15:15] Shido     Are you feeling better already? [15:18] Woodman     Yes, you don't need to worry about me. [15:22] Woodman     I'm sorry I was out of contact for so long. [15:26] Woodman     Our enemy is certainly great. [15:29] Woodman     However, DEM is an organization helmed [15:34] Woodman     by Isaac Westcott's charisma     and Ellen Mathers's competence. [15:39] Woodman     That means it won't be much of a threat     once those two are taken out. [15:46] Shido     In other words, defeating Westcott     and Ellen is our key to victory. [15:51] MARIA     Understood. [15:52] MARIA     Then perhaps it would be worth trying that*. [15:55] Shido     Huh? [15:57] Kotori     MARIA, what do you mean by "that"? [15:59] MARIA     I'm saying that it might be*     possible to nullify Nibeelcole. [16:04] Nia     Huh?! [16:05] Origami     Truthfully, I also have an idea     for how to handle Bandersnatch. [16:09] Nia     H-Hold on! [16:10] Orgami     The enemy's new Realizer models are— [16:12] Nia     Stop, stop! [16:13] Nia     Enough talking about it. [16:15] MARIA     What's the matter, Nia? [16:17] MARIA     We're just getting to the main topic. [16:19] Nia     Tsk, tsk, tsk. [16:21] Nia     You don't get it, Robo-girl. [16:23] MARIA     First, I demand an explanation     for that nickname. [16:27] MARIA     Depending on your answer,     I may eject you from the ship. [16:29] Nia     Have you forgotten? [16:31] Nia     Westcott can use Beelzebub,     the omniscient Demon King. [16:34] Kotori     Ah! [16:35] Natsumi     That's right. [16:36] Natsumi     He can look up any event that happens     throughout the entire universe. [16:40] Natsumi     Meaning... [16:41] Yoshino     He might learn everything     that unfolds in this discussion. [16:46] Nia     Exactly. [16:47] Nia     However, [16:48] Nia     it doesn't know how to read people's minds [16:51] Nia     or what the future holds. [16:53] Nia     So even if you come up with a strategy, [16:55] Nia     you can't mention it out loud. [16:58] MARIA     I hate to admit it, but you are correct. [17:01] MARIA     Thank you, Nia. [17:05] Nia     As long as you understand! [17:06] Nia     Humility is a virtue, [17:09] Nia     spriteless Robo-girl. [17:12] MARIA     By the way, Nia, could you     please touch my console? [17:15] Nia     Huh? Like this? [17:22] Nia     Hey! What are you doing?! Come on! [17:24] MARIA     I'm grateful for the flaw you pointed out. [17:27] MARIA     However, you needed to be punished     for that insulting nickname. [17:33] Nia     That's false logic! [17:35] Miku     Still, it's rather absurd that we have to have [17:38] Miku     our strategy meeting without being     able to voice any ideas or opinions. [17:42] Origami     I think there are still things     we can each do on our own. [17:45] Origami     There's something I'd like to take care of, too. [17:47] Woodman     Good point. [17:48] Woodman     I'll do everything I can as well. [17:56] Kurumi     Do you have any excuse for yourself? [17:58] PatchKurumi     My, oh my. [18:00] Kurumi     I already received word from another me. [18:03] Kurumi     I heard you informed Shido     and Kotori about DEM's assault. [18:09] Kurumi     I can't have you acting on your own     without orders from me. [18:14] Kurumi     You'll need to pay for disturbing     the order with your life. [18:19] PatchKurumi     Yes, yes. There's no getting past that. [18:24] PatchKurumi     But one last thing. [18:27] PatchKurumi     I have a message from Shido. [18:31] PatchKurumi     "I love, love, super-love you!     Let's get married, my honey!" [18:35] Kurumi     Only the "my honey" part of that was accurate! [18:39] PatchKurumi     I know you already heard it     from another clone. [18:51] PatchKurumi     My, oh my. [18:54] Kurumi     I wouldn't be so foolish [18:55] Kurumi     as to pare down my own forces     right before a major battle. [18:59] Kurumi     If you are still a part of me, [19:02] Kurumi     then at least be useful first [19:04] Kurumi     and then die on the battlefield for me. [19:09] PatchKurumi     Yes, yes. I understand. [19:15] Ryoko     A secret organization protecting Spirits, huh? [19:19] Ryoko     You show up out of nowhere, [19:21] Ryoko     and you expect us to believe that nonsense? [19:23] Mikie     B-But Captain, [19:25] Mikie     they've both come here     knowing it meant great danger. [19:29] Milly     I don't think we should be     so quick to assume they're lying. [19:32] Mana     I know you must find it hard to believe. [19:35] Mana     But it's all true. [19:38] Origami     On February 20th, [19:40] Origami     there will likely be a major     battle here in Tengu City. [19:43] Origami     When it goes down, [19:44] Origami     DEM will probably request     even the captains sortie. [19:49] Origami     But I want you to ignore that request. [19:52] Milly     Is that also information uncovered     by the secret organization Ratatoskr? [19:57] Mikie     Still, even if what you say is true... [20:00] Ryoko     That's right. [20:01] Ryoko     Spurning DEM's request means     ignoring orders from above. [20:06] Ryoko     So you're asking us to lose our jobs     and serve prison time on top of that? [20:11] Ryoko     For one thing, [20:13] Ryoko     why are you telling us     not to attack the Spirits? [20:16] Ryoko     They're the enemy of mankind, aren't they? [20:18] Origami     That's maliciously spun     information spread by DEM. [20:22] Mana     The Spirits have no intention     of attacking mankind. [20:27] Mikie     That's a lot to take in all at once. [20:32] Milly     If what you just told us is true, [20:34] Milly     then I would love to try fiddling with this     secret organization's new weapons! [20:39] Milly     It's stirring my instincts as a mechanic! [20:41] Ryoko     Sorry, but could you be quiet for a bit? [20:48] Ryoko     You know we can't do what you're asking. [20:51] Mikie     Captain... [20:52] Origami     That's a shame. [20:53] Origami     Though I don't fault you for your decision.
