[00:31] ---
    You know what, big brother?
[00:33] ---
    Before I go into space,
    there's something I want to tell you.
[00:37] ---
    What is it, Ririko?
[00:39] ---
    You were supposed to use me to practice
    making the Spirits fall for you, right?
[00:46] ---
    Yes. What about it?
[00:49] ---
    I... I think I might really be in love with you...
[00:56] ---
    Can you think of me not as
    your sister, but as a woman?
[01:04] ---
    1. Of course. 2. Sorry, I can't.
    3. Sure, but I'm not interested in women.
[01:09] ---
    Thanks, big brother!
[01:12] ---
    A long-distance relationship between
    Jupiter and Earth will be no problem for us!
[01:18] ---
    I love you, big brother!
[01:22] ---
    Side-A: My Big Brother Is a Pilot
    Side-B: Do You Remember Me, Big Brother?
[01:23] ---
    All right! Yes! I won!
[01:35] ---
    Spirits. Mysterious girls
    appearing from another world.
[01:39] ---
    To fight against their pure strength
    with weapons, or to address them with love.
[01:45] ---
    Now, mankind must choose.
[02:03] ---
    In a town where everyone's looking down
[02:06] ---
    (Dead or Alive)
[02:08] ---
    A dry wind blows through
[02:14] ---
    Eyes looking for light
[02:17] ---
    (Dead or Alive)
[02:19] ---
    Reflecting only despair
[02:25] ---
    Cries that no one hears
[02:30] ---
    Stifling them with that searching hand
[02:34] ---
    In a world where everything is broken
[02:36] ---
    It's still scary to be touched by kindness
[02:40] ---
    Without knowing the reason
[02:45] ---
    Are you the one who will fill
[02:47] ---
    the space left by the hole in my heart?
[02:53] ---
    Please choose, Date A Live

    Episode Two: Another Close Encounter
[03:17] ---
    Dad! Mom!
[03:22] ---
    Origami!
[03:47] ---
    Shin...
[03:49] ---
    R-Reine?
[04:03] ---
    Wha--?
[04:05] ---
    What are you doing, Delusion General?
[04:07] ---
    It's time to implement Stage 2 of your training.
[04:11] ---
    Huh?
[04:14] ---
    This is what she means by "implement"?
[04:16] ---
    Itsuka, do you need something?
[04:19] ---
    Um... No...
[04:21] ---
    What are you doing, Shido?
[04:23] ---
    Stop messing around.
[04:25] ---
    Hurry up and make the teacher
    fall in love with you.
[04:27] ---
    Why do I have to do something like that?
[04:29] ---
    I already told you it was to
    help you talk to the Spirits.
[04:32] ---
    If you can't even make a human love you,
    what makes you think you can make a Spirit?
[04:38] ---
    I'm still not satisfied with
    that explanation, you know.
[04:40] ---
    Just compliment her first.
[04:43] ---
    If anything happens, we'll give you instructions.
[04:48] ---
    W-What is it?
[04:50] ---
    M-Ms. Okamine, y-your clothes are cute.
[04:54] ---
    What? You think so?
[04:56] ---
    I'm a little embarrassed.
[04:58] ---
    Yes, they look really good on you.
[05:00] ---
    That hairstyle does, too! And those glasses!
[05:04] ---
    And your shoes! Stockings!
    Attendance book! And--
[05:07] ---
    Um, Itsuka?
[05:09] ---
    You're overdoing it.
[05:10] ---
    Baldy! Bald demon!
[05:12] ---
    Can I go now?
[05:14] ---
    Uh...
[05:15] ---
    It can't be helped.
[05:17] ---
    Now, try doing exactly as I say.
[05:22] ---
    Actually, since becoming a junior,
    I always look forward to coming to school.
[05:27] ---
    Really?
[05:29] ---
    That's good.
[05:31] ---
    It's because you became my homeroom teacher.
[05:34] ---
    Because I've been in love with you...
[05:39] ---
    What are you saying?
[05:41] ---
    Your feelings make me happy, but we can't.
[05:44] ---
    I'm serious.
[05:46] ---
    I seriously want to marry you!
[05:49] ---
    You're... serious?
[05:52] ---
    What?
[05:54] ---
    Is it true?
[05:55] ---
    Once you are old enough to
    get married, I'll be over 30.
[05:59] ---
    Is that okay?
[06:01] ---
    Will you come meet my parents?
[06:03] ---
    Are you willing to be adopted into my family?
    Will you take over my family's house...
[06:05] ---
    Hm. The trump card for 29-year-old single
    women might have been too effective.
[06:11] ---
    It'll be annoying if she gets
    more involved than necessary.
[06:14] ---
    Shido, we've accomplished our goal, so just
    make some excuses and get out of there.
[06:17] ---
    Let's have two kids, a boy and a girl,
[06:17] ---
    S-Sorry, Ms. Okamine...
[06:19] ---
    and split the chores and raising the children...
[06:19] ---
    I don't think I'm ready for that yet!
[06:22] ---
    I want to be myself even if I quit my job!
[06:26] ---
    Even if we live in a rental first, we can
    remodel someday and live with my parents!
[06:31] ---
    We'd better start saving for the wedding!
[06:33] ---
    That teacher has a very unique personality.
[06:36] ---
    Don't give me that!
[06:37] ---
    How can you be so calm at--
[06:40] ---
    S-Sorry, are you oka--
[06:45] ---
    I'm fine.
[06:47] ---
    This is perfect, Shido.
[06:48] ---
    Why don't you practice with her, too?
[06:50] ---
    What?
[06:50] ---
    Don't you want data on a girl your age?
[06:53] ---
    Besides, even though she's not a Spirit,
    she's still a member of the AST.
[06:57] ---
    And she doesn't seem like
    the type to kiss and tell.
[06:59] ---
    So?
[07:00] ---
    Just praise her already!
[07:05] ---
    Uh... Tobiichi...
[07:07] ---
    Um, your clothes are cute!
[07:09] ---
    I'm wearing a uniform.
[07:11] ---
    Why are you praising her uniform, you antlion?!
[07:14] ---
    I... I just...
[07:16] ---
    Shin, I'll help you.
[07:19] ---
    Tobiichi, I've actually
    known about you for a while.
[07:23] ---
    Me too.
[07:24] ---
    Really?
[07:25] ---
    Well, I'm so happy that we're
    in the same class this year.
[07:29] ---
    I watch you all the time during class.
[07:31] ---
    Me too.
[07:32] ---
    Not only that, but I also sniff
    your gym clothes after school.
[07:38] ---
    Me too.
[07:39] ---
    R-Really... I guess we have a lot in common...
[07:41] ---
    Yeah.
[07:42] ---
    In that case, will you go out with me?
[07:47] ---
    Don't you think this is a bit too sudden?!
[07:50] ---
    I don't mind.
[07:50] ---
    What?!
[07:52] ---
    I don't mind going out with you.
[07:53] ---
    W-What? You mean like going
    somewhere with me, right?
[07:58] ---
    Is that what you meant?
[07:59] ---
    What?
[08:00] ---
    I thought you were talking about dating.
[08:02] ---
    Eh?
[08:03] ---
    Was I mistaken?
[08:04] ---
    N-N-No... You're not mistaken, but...
[08:06] ---
    Oh.
[08:07] ---
    Crap, why did I say she wasn't mistaken?
[08:11] ---
    I could have gotten away
    with a misunderstanding.
[08:15] ---
    W-What's this?
[08:16] ---
    Since you said you like uniforms...
[08:19] ---
    Huh?
[08:20] ---
    There have been precursory signs of
    an impending spatial quake in this area.
[08:26] ---
    This is not a drill. Please evacuate
[08:28] ---
    to the nearest shelter immediately.
[08:28] ---
    Something just came up. See you later.
[08:30] ---
    Hey, Tobiichi!
[08:30] ---
    I repeat...
[08:32] ---
    Shido, it's a spatial quake.
[08:34] ---
    Come back to the Fraxinus for now.
[08:36] ---
    Is it a Spirit?
[08:38] ---
    Yeah, it's Princess.
[08:40] ---
    This is where she is supposed to appear.
[08:43] ---
    Raizen High School.
[09:12] ---
    They're coming.
[09:13] ---
    Roger.
[09:26] ---
    The spatial quake has started.
[09:43] ---
    Shido, you are pretty lucky.
[09:45] ---
    The CR-unit was not built for indoor battle.
[09:50] ---
    Since Princess entered the school,
    it'll be harder for the AST to interfere.
[09:57] ---
    So...?
[09:58] ---
    It's something only you can do, Shido.
[10:01] ---
    All week, you didn't run away from
    the training despite your complaining.
[10:06] ---
    Don't you want to save the Spirit?
[10:11] ---
    That's right. I don't want her
    to make that face anymore.
[10:14] ---
    I can't let her make that face anymore.
[10:16] ---
    Kotori, you're sure I can do this, right?
[10:19] ---
    Yes. Have confidence in yourself.
[10:21] ---
    Not by annihilating them, but with a
    different way of dealing with them. That is--
[10:26] ---
    Talk with them, date them,
    and make them fall in love.
[10:33] ---
    Relax, Shido.
[10:35] ---
    Fraxinus's crew, the pride of Ratatoskr,
    is here to support you with all our strength.
[10:42] ---
    With five marriages and five divorces
    under his belt--the Love Master,
[10:46] ---
    "Bad Marriage" Kawagoe!
[10:47] ---
    Period of lassitude come too soon
[10:49] ---
    Ooh, Love.
[10:51] ---
    Extremely popular with
    the Women of the Night--
[10:54] ---
    "CEO" Mikimoto!
[10:54] ---
    Chief Executive Officer
[10:56] ---
    Mahal kita.
[10:58] ---
    Misfortune befalls her rivals in love--
[11:00] ---
    the 2 A.M. woman,
[11:02] ---
    "Nail Knocker" Shiizaki!
[11:03] ---
    Straw effigy
[11:07] ---
    The man with a hundred women--
[11:09] ---
    "Dimension Breaker" Nakatsugawa!
[11:09] ---
    Man beyond dimensions
[11:12] ---
    Mm, revolution!
[11:15] ---
    A woman who loves so deeply,
    she's forbidden by law to see her beloved--
[11:19] ---
    "Deep Love" Minowa!
[11:19] ---
    On probation
[11:21] ---
    Huh?
[11:22] ---
    I suddenly feel like going home...
[11:24] ---
    Don't worry, everyone is good at what they do.
[11:27] ---
    There are other troops
    behind the scenes, as well.
[11:29] ---
    It'll be fine.
[11:31] ---
    Even if you die once,
[11:33] ---
    you can start a new game right away.
[11:35] ---
    Easy for you to say.
[11:37] ---
    Believe in your little sister.
    I'm leaving the Spirit to you.
[12:03] ---
    Please, wait! I don't want to fight you!
[12:07] ---
    Just calm down.
[12:09] ---
    Stop! Who are you?
[12:13] ---
    I'm--
[12:14] ---
    Wait, Shido!
[12:16] ---
    There's been a change in
    the mental state of the Spirit.
[12:18] ---
    The analyzer AI has recorded a reaction.
[12:20] ---
    Displaying choices now.
[12:22] ---
    "My name is Shido Itsuka. I've come to save you!"
[12:25] ---
    "I'm just a passerby. Please don't kill me!"
[12:29] ---
    "Before asking someone's name,
    you should give your own."
[12:34] ---
    There they are.
[12:36] ---
    Your choices, everyone!
[12:41] ---
    I see, the results agree with my opinion.
[12:44] ---
    Option one is classic, but it's
    pretty hard to believe in this case.
[12:48] ---
    Besides, it's too cliché.
[12:50] ---
    Option 2 is out of the question.
[12:52] ---
    Even if he's able to escape now,
    he won't be able to get any further with her.
[12:55] ---
    That's true, option 3 is the most logical.
[12:58] ---
    And he'll be able to take
    control of the conversation.
[13:01] ---
    Shido, you can hear me, right?
[13:03] ---
    I'll tell you what to answer.
[13:05] ---
    I'll ask you one more time.
[13:07] ---
    Who are you?
[13:10] ---
    Before asking someone's name...
[13:12] ---
    ...you should give your own!
[13:15] ---
    I knew that would happen!
[13:18] ---
    Hm? That's strange.
[13:21] ---
    "That's strange," my ass!
    Are you trying to get me killed?
[13:23] ---
    This is the end.
[13:26] ---
    If you have no intention of answering,
    I'll assume you're an enemy.
[13:29] ---
    My name is Shido Itsuka.
[13:30] ---
    I'm a student here.
[13:31] ---
    I have no intention of fighting you.
[13:35] ---
    You... I've seen you before.
[13:38] ---
    Y-Yeah... On the 10th, in the city.
[13:41] ---
    Oh, I remember now.
[13:43] ---
    You were the guy that said something weird.
[13:48] ---
    You said you had no intention of killing me.
[13:51] ---
    That was obviously a lie...
[13:53] ---
    What are you trying to do?
[13:56] ---
    Why... do you look so sad?
[14:01] ---
    I'm not trying to do anything.
[14:03] ---
    Not all humans are trying to kill you.
[14:06] ---
    You're lying!
[14:07] ---
    All the humans I've met
    have said that I must die.
[14:11] ---
    That's not true!
[14:14] ---
    Well then, let me ask you:
[14:16] ---
    If you have no intention of killing me,
    what are you doing here?
[14:21] ---
    1. To meet you, of course.
    2. Does it even matter? 3. It's just a coincidence.
[14:23] ---
    Looking at her reaction earlier, it looks
    like we have to go with option one, Shido.
[14:28] ---
    I... I wanted to meet you.
[14:30] ---
    Meet me?
[14:32] ---
    Why?
[14:33] ---
    1. I'm interested in you. 2. To love each other.
    3. I have something to ask you.
[14:35] ---
    Hmm... What should we do now?
[14:38] ---
    Let's take the straightforward approach here.
[14:40] ---
    If we don't answer her clearly,
    a girl like her won't get it.
[14:43] ---
    That's true.
[14:45] ---
    If we go with options 2 or 3,
    she'll just have more questions.
[14:48] ---
    S-So we can love each other.
[14:56] ---
    I'm not in the mood for jokes.
[14:58] ---
    There's that face again.
[15:03] ---
    I came here so I could talk to you.
[15:06] ---
    I won't let you make that face.
[15:08] ---
    I don't care about what we talk about.
[15:10] ---
    If you don't like it, you can ignore me.
[15:13] ---
    I won't let you make that face.
[15:15] ---
    But just understand one thing--
[15:18] ---
    I won't let you make that face.
[15:19] ---
    I'm--
[15:20] ---
    Shido, calm down!
[15:21] ---
    I will not reject you!
[15:28] ---
    You said your name was Shido?
[15:30] ---
    And you really won't reject me?
[15:34] ---
    I won't.
[15:36] ---
    Really, truly?
[15:38] ---
    Really, truly.
[15:39] ---
    Really, really, truly?
[15:42] ---
    Really, really, truly.
[15:48] ---
    Hmph! Who do you think'll be tricked by that?
[15:51] ---
    Idiot! Moron!
[15:52] ---
    So I--
[15:54] ---
    But, I guess...
[15:56] ---
    I don't know what your real intentions are,
[15:59] ---
    but you're the first human
    to try to talk to me normally.
[16:03] ---
    I'll use this opportunity to gather
    information about this world.
[16:07] ---
    That's important.
    Information is really important!
[16:11] ---
    Thanks. What's your name?
[16:14] ---
    A name? I don't have anything like that.
[16:17] ---
    But I suppose I'll need a
    name if we're going to talk.
[16:21] ---
    Shido, what do you want to call me?
[16:24] ---
    Here's another deep question.
[16:27] ---
    All crew members, think of a name now!
[16:33] ---
    There aren't enough choices.
[16:36] ---
    We'll have to call in the
    troops around the world.
[16:38] ---
    Looks like it.
[16:43] ---
    Oh, it's her.
[16:45] ---
    Please give me a new name.
[16:52] ---
    Is it okay for me to have that responsibility?
[16:54] ---
    Isn't that Tonomachi?
[16:56] ---
    Maybe he's sending a love text to Itsuka?
[16:58] ---
    That's so lame...
[17:01] ---
    Tome
[17:07] ---
    Misako
[17:10] ---
    Kawagoe, isn't Misako
    the name of your ex-wife?!
[17:13] ---
    Mikimoto, how do you even read this?
[17:15] ---
    "Clarabelle."
[17:16] ---
    Rejected!
[17:17] ---
    Doesn't anyone have any better ideas?
[17:20] ---
    For example...
[17:21] ---
    "Tome" or something!
[17:21] ---
    Tome
[17:23] ---
    Tome! Your name is Tome!
[17:25] ---
    Happy
[17:26] ---
    Normal
[17:27] ---
    Upset
[17:28] ---
    Uh... That's strange...
[17:33] ---
    I don't know why, but I feel
    like you're making fun of me.
[17:37] ---
    Sorry! Wait a minute!
[17:39] ---
    This comment is the personal opinion...
[17:39] ---
    Sorry to all the Tomes out there,
[17:41] ---
    ...of Shido Itsuka and does not express...
[17:41] ---
    but it doesn't sound like a name
[17:43] ---
    ...the views of the 'Date A Live' production staff.
[17:43] ---
    a girl these days would have. Isn't there anything?
[17:45] ---
    Aren't there any good names?
[17:48] ---
    Tohka.
[17:51] ---
    Tohka!
[17:52] ---
    I guess that's all right.
    Better than Tome, at least.
[17:54] ---
    Tohka
[17:57] ---
    Is this how you write "Tohka"?
[17:59] ---
    Yeah.
[18:03] ---
    Shido.
[18:04] ---
    What is it?
[18:05] ---
    Tohka. That's my name.
[18:09] ---
    Isn't it a wonderful name, Shido?
[18:12] ---
    T-Tohka.
[18:17] ---
    But calling her Tohka just because
    I met her on April 10th ...
[18:21] ---
    Maybe that was a little too obvious...
[18:22] ---
    Take cover, Shido!
[18:29] ---
    Captain, is this really okay?
[18:30] ---
    We have permission to smoke them out.
[18:33] ---
    The reinforcements can
    take care of the rest later.
[18:38] ---
    Tohka.
[18:39] ---
    Quick, Shido, run away.
[18:42] ---
    If you stay with me,
    you'll be attacked along with me.
[18:46] ---
    What are you doing? You need to run away.
[18:49] ---
    Like I care!
[18:51] ---
    Right now, it's our time to talk.
[18:55] ---
    You want to know about this world, don't you?
[18:57] ---
    If that's the case, don't worry about them!
[19:00] ---
    Shido...
[19:15] ---
    Hey, Tohka, just what are you, anyway?
[19:19] ---
    I don't know.
[19:20] ---
    I don't know how long ago it was,
    but I suddenly appeared here.
[19:24] ---
    That's all it was.
[19:26] ---
    My memory is fuzzy and distorted.
[19:28] ---
    I don't understand what kind of being I am.
[19:31] ---
    Really?
[19:32] ---
    Really.
[19:33] ---
    I was born into this world suddenly.
[19:35] ---
    When I came to, the Mecha-Mecha
    Squad was in the air.
[19:38] ---
    Mecha-Mecha Squad?
[19:39] ---
    Those noisy people.
[19:42] ---
    Ah...
[19:43] ---
    Here's your chance, Shido!
[19:45] ---
    Her happiness meter is over 70.
[19:47] ---
    If you're going to do anything,
    you should do it now.
[19:50] ---
    What should I do?
[19:51] ---
    For starters, you could ask her out on a date.
[19:53] ---
    What?
[19:55] ---
    What's wrong, Shido?
[19:56] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[19:58] ---
    What have you been muttering
    about under your breath?
[20:01] ---
    I knew it... You are here to kill me!
[20:02] ---
    No, no, it's all a misunderstanding.
[20:04] ---
    Then what were you saying?
[20:06] ---
    Ah, I said...
[20:07] ---
    C'mon, give me a break here.
[20:10] ---
    Ask her out on a date! A date!
[20:12] ---
    A date! A date! A date!...
[20:18] ---
    All right, I get it already!
[20:22] ---
    Um, Tohka, will you...
    Will you go out on a date with me?
[20:29] ---
    Origami, did we get any orders?
[20:31] ---
    Not yet.
[20:33] ---
    Even after shooting so much?
[20:36] ---
    What is that? Is someone
    being attacked by a Spirit?
[20:39] ---
    H-Hold your fire!
[20:47] ---
    Wait, Origami!
[20:50] ---
    What's a "date"?
[20:51] ---
    Uh, that's...
[20:53] ---
    Shido, the AST!
[20:56] ---
    How uncivilized!
[20:58] ---
    T-Tobiichi!
[20:59] ---
    I'm glad I got here in time.
[21:00] ---
    You again?!
[21:01] ---
    I won't forgive you for using him as a shield.
[21:04] ---
    That's not what it is--
[21:06] ---
    What are you doing, Origami?
[21:08] ---
    We don't have permission to break in!
[21:12] ---
    Sandalphon!
[21:17] ---
    Shido, withdraw!
[21:19] ---
    We'll use Fraxinus to retrieve you.
[21:21] ---
    Withdraw?
[21:35] ---
    Really, you're too reckless!
[21:37] ---
    It turned out fine because she's Lost...
[21:43] ---
    ...but you need to think before you act.
[21:45] ---
    If you keep fighting like this, you'll die!
[21:56] ---
    Temporary School Holiday
[21:56] ---
    It's obvious if you think about it,
[21:59] ---
    but even though the school's
    like this, it doesn't feel real.
[22:03] ---
    What happened yesterday...
[22:03] ---
    Tohka
[22:07] ---
    It wasn't a dream.
[22:10] ---
    Shido.
[22:11] ---
    That's right.
[22:12] ---
    There's no doubt that I talked
    with Tohka yesterday, and--
[22:15] ---
    Hey, Shido! Don't ignore me!
[22:20] ---
    Tohka!
[22:22] ---
    You finally noticed!
[22:23] ---
    Idiot! Moron!
[22:25] ---
    W-Why are you here?
[22:28] ---
    The spatial quake alarm didn't go off.
[22:30] ---
    Why? Weren't you the one who invited me?
[22:33] ---
    For a "date" or something?
[22:35] ---
    Well, Shido? It's time for our date!
[22:38] ---
    Date, date, date, date! Date!
[22:40] ---
    Okay, okay!
[22:42] ---
    In any case, your clothes stand out too much.
[22:44] ---
    If you don't change--
[22:45] ---
    Shido, are you telling me
    to take off my clothes here?
[22:48] ---
    No! No--!
[22:51] ---
    F-For example--
[22:54] ---
    Something like this would be better?
[22:57] ---
    But why do you have this picture?
[22:58] ---
    D-Don't ask me why! Just change!
[23:01] ---
    Fine.
[23:15] ---
    Is this okay?
[23:17] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[23:21] ---
    Well then, let's go on our date!
[23:26] ---
    Kill or kiss before the world ends
[23:32] ---
    Though you don't even know the "L" in love
[23:37] ---
    Oh, why isn't there a tutorial
    before the real thing?

[23:43] ---
    Only my feelings to fly to the front lines
[23:49] ---
    I start panicking when I see how cool you are
[23:53] ---
    At the mercy of the happiness meter
[24:00] ---
    Are you playing with me?
    Am I a toy, or something less?!

[24:09] ---
    It's a long way
[24:10] ---
    The journey to you is never-ending
[24:16] ---
    I can keep running at full speed
[24:22] ---
    Can we meet again? Will you trust me again?
[24:28] ---
    Save the world with counterfeit love
[24:39] ---
    Kill or kiss before the world ends
[24:45] ---
    I'll be happy if you smile for me
[24:55] ---
    Hey, Tohka, wait!
[24:57] ---
    You're too slow, Shido!
[24:58] ---
    It's a date! A date!
[24:59] ---
    You don't have to say it so loudly!
[25:16] ---
