**[00:28] ---**
Ooh, Shido, what is this?
**[00:32] ---**
What is it? What is it? What is it--?!
**[00:41] ---**
The Spirit, Tohka.
**[00:43] ---**
A mysterious girl who
appeared from another world.
**[00:46] ---**
To fight against that pure appetite,
or feed it with love.
**[00:53] ---**
Now, Shido's wallet is being tested.
**[01:10] ---**
*In a town where everyone's looking down*
**[01:13] ---**
*(Dead or Alive)*
**[01:15] ---**
*A dry wind blows through*
**[01:21] ---**
*Eyes looking for light*
**[01:24] ---**
*(Dead or Alive)*
**[01:26] ---**
*Reflecting only despair*
**[01:32] ---**
*Cries that no one hears*
**[01:37] ---**
*Stifling them with that searching hand*
**[01:41] ---**
*In a world where everything is broken*
**[01:43] ---**
*It's still scary to be touched by kindness*
**[01:46] ---**
*Without knowing the reason*
**[01:52] ---**
*Are you the one who will fill*
**[01:54] ---**
*the space left by the hole in my heart?*
**[02:00] ---**
*Please choose, Date A Live*
**[02:20] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[02:20] ---**
Episode Three: For the Sky and the Sword
**[02:24] ---**
Here.
**[02:29] ---**
This isn't a trap, is it?
**[02:31] ---**
Of course not.
You can have it, so stop drooling.
**[02:37] ---**
It's delicious!!
**[02:41] ---**
Is this a date, Shido?
**[02:42] ---**
It's kinako bread.
**[02:45] ---**
What?
**[02:46] ---**
It's not a date?
**[02:48] ---**
Why isn't something this delicious a date?
**[02:50] ---**
Even if you say that...
**[02:53] ---**
Could it be that this is not delicious
enough to be called a date?
**[02:58] ---**
Just what in the world is a date...?
**[03:01] ---**
A date!
**[03:03] ---**
That's not it, either.
**[03:04] ---**
Where did all these people come from?
**[03:07] ---**
Is this an all-out war?
**[03:09] ---**
If that's the case, I'd better attack before
the Mecha-Mecha Squad gets here.
**[03:12] ---**
W-W-Wait a minute, Tohka!
**[03:14] ---**
What are you doing? Don't stop me, Shido.
**[03:16] ---**
I told you, no one here is trying to kill you.
**[03:22] ---**
Mama!
**[03:24] ---**
No Littering
**[03:25] ---**
Mama, look, I threw away
my trash all by myself.
**[03:27] ---**
Oh? Good job.
**[03:33] ---**
Burnable Trash
**[03:43] ---**
I see, Shido. Could it be that *this* is a date?
**[03:46] ---**
I can't really say it's not, but it's not.
**[03:49] ---**
Really? A date is very profound.
**[03:52] ---**
Oh, what's that, Shido?
**[03:54] ---**
Wait, you still want to eat?
**[03:57] ---**
Why is Itsuka walking with a girl?
**[04:00] ---**
Is he cheating on Tonomachi?
**[04:02] ---**
That's so lame...
**[04:05] ---**
That woman... is a Spirit.
**[04:07] ---**
But there's no spatial quake.
**[04:08] ---**
Environmental conditions normal
**[04:10] ---**
This is Master Sergeant
Origami Tobiichi, A-0613.
**[04:14] ---**
Bring an observation device around.
**[04:19] ---**
Outrageous! Humans eat such delicious things!
**[04:25] ---**
Tohka, what happened to you
after you left yesterday?
**[04:29] ---**
It was just the same as usual.
**[04:31] ---**
Swing my sword, blast the artillery...
**[04:35] ---**
In the end, my body disappeared naturally.
**[04:38] ---**
Disappeared?
**[04:39] ---**
I go to a world different from this one.
**[04:41] ---**
A dark space.
**[04:43] ---**
Once I get there, I fall asleep naturally.
**[04:45] ---**
You mean, when you awaken,
you come to this world?
**[04:47] ---**
It's more like I am woken up forcibly.
**[04:51] ---**
It has nothing to do with what I want.
I am just pulled over here irregularly.
**[04:56] ---**
It's usually like that.
**[04:57] ---**
Forcefully? Then Spirits don't
cause spatial quakes on purpose.
**[05:02] ---**
They're complete accidents!
**[05:05] ---**
By "usually," you mean today was different?
**[05:08] ---**
H-How would I know?
**[05:09] ---**
Please tell me.
**[05:11] ---**
That might be the reason why
there was no spatial quake today.
**[05:14] ---**
You're being too persistent, Shido!
**[05:15] ---**
I need to go find more delicious dates!
**[05:18] ---**
Wait, Tohka!
**[05:20] ---**
I should've brought more...
**[05:22] ---**
She is a 98.5% match.
**[05:26] ---**
It's way too high to be a coincidence.
**[05:30] ---**
But why...?
**[05:31] ---**
She is not wearing her Spirit armor.
**[05:33] ---**
If we want to attack, we should do it now.
**[05:35] ---**
Think about where you are!
**[05:37] ---**
Don't do anything rash.
**[05:41] ---**
What is this place, Shido?
**[05:43] ---**
W-Well, this place is...
**[05:46] ---**
Ooh, it's bothering me.
I'm going to check it out!
**[05:48] ---**
W-Wait!
**[05:49] ---**
Well, if it isn't Itsuka.
**[05:51] ---**
T-Tonomachi?
**[05:53] ---**
Oh?
**[05:55] ---**
What is the meaning of this?
**[05:56] ---**
How did you end up with such a beautiful
girl without me knowing about it?
**[06:01] ---**
I'm jealous...
**[06:03] ---**
Ah, well, a lot of things have happened...
**[06:06] ---**
She seems to have expensive tastes.
**[06:09] ---**
Well, my girlfriend is also pretty expensive.
**[06:12] ---**
Shop Menu
**[06:12] ---**
Oh, he's talking about buying items in the game.
**[06:15] ---**
These must have been meant for you.
**[06:17] ---**
I just received these tickets from a stranger.
Let me support you with them!
**[06:23] ---**
Complimentary Meal Tickets
**[06:23] ---**
Good luck!
**[06:24] ---**
Have a nice day.
**[06:30] ---**
Welcome.
**[06:33] ---**
R-R-Reine?
**[06:36] ---**
Why are you here?
**[06:38] ---**
For our part, we're checking
on Princess's dormancy limits.
**[06:43] ---**
If you're looking for her,
she's sitting over there.
**[06:44] ---**
You're late, Shido!
**[06:46] ---**
Over here!
**[06:47] ---**
R-Right.
**[06:52] ---**
Can I take your order?
**[06:56] ---**
K-K-Koto--!
**[06:59] ---**
This looks good, but so does this.
**[07:01] ---**
I wonder which one is the date?
**[07:03] ---**
If you're having trouble deciding,
what about the "What about this?" Course?
**[07:08] ---**
"What about this?"
**[07:11] ---**
It does make me think, "What about this?"
**[07:16] ---**
It's too much! It's delicious!
It's outrageous! It must be a date!
**[07:22] ---**
What are you planning?
**[07:23] ---**
Just giving you the best possible
support to make her fall for you.
**[07:27] ---**
The real thing starts now, Shido.
**[07:29] ---**
After you leave here,
head for south of the station.
**[07:32] ---**
South? That's just a residential area.
**[07:35] ---**
Just do it. I'm leaving it to you.
**[07:39] ---**
Now, let's start our date.
**[07:44] ---**
Checking the AI analysis.
**[07:46] ---**
Use shop-type E-5963.
**[07:48] ---**
Roger, E-5963.
**[07:51] ---**

**[07:53] ---**
Local Specialty Takoyaki
**[07:55] ---**
Candied Apples
Fluffy Taiyaki
Hot Dogs
Fresh BBQ Squid
Delicious Takoyaki
**[07:56] ---**
Open the main gate!
**[07:59] ---**
Welcome
Ratatoskr
**[08:03] ---**
Wow, Shido, what's that? Can you eat it?
**[08:06] ---**
No, you can't! Well, you might
be able to if you tried...
**[08:09] ---**
Shido, they even have red ones! They're fast!
**[08:12] ---**
Everyone knows that the red
ones are three times as fast.
**[08:15] ---**
But why are they here in a place like this--?
**[08:19] ---**
What is all this doing here?
**[08:21] ---**
Congratulations!
**[08:24] ---**
R
**[08:24] ---**
Bad Marriage?
**[08:25] ---**
You two are the 100,000th
visitors to this shopping arcade!
**[08:30] ---**
Specially for you, just for today,
everything you eat will be free!
**[08:35] ---**
Welcome!
**[08:37] ---**
But...
**[08:38] ---**
Oh, I've never seen that before, Shido!
**[08:41] ---**
Hey, Tohka!
**[08:42] ---**
Welcome
**[08:42] ---**
Kawagoe has succeeded in the induction.
**[08:44] ---**
Takoyaki team, get ready for service.
**[08:47] ---**
Taiyaki team and shaved ice team,
go get some customers.
**[08:49] ---**
Soba team, you're late with
the delivery! What are you doing?
**[08:52] ---**
Will it be okay? They are moving, too.
**[08:55] ---**
Well, we *are* prepared.
**[08:58] ---**
I see.
**[09:03] ---**
Could not connect
**[09:03] ---**
Jammed signal...
**[09:04] ---**
Origami, can you hear me?
**[09:06] ---**
I've managed to squeeze mobilization
orders out of the higher-ups.
**[09:09] ---**
Meet at point 101.
**[09:11] ---**
Roger.
**[09:13] ---**
Look, Shido! That looks good, too!
**[09:15] ---**
And that! And that--!
**[09:18] ---**
It's amazing! Look!
**[09:20] ---**
All right, I get it. Just eat as much as you want.
**[09:23] ---**
It's all free, anyway.
**[09:25] ---**
Man, how did it turn out like this?
**[09:27] ---**
Shido...
**[09:29] ---**
You're not... having fun?
**[09:31] ---**
Huh?
**[09:33] ---**
It seems like I've been the only one having fun.
**[09:36] ---**
And you've just been getting upset.
**[09:39] ---**
T-That's not true.
**[09:42] ---**
Really?
**[09:44] ---**
Really. I'm sorry, I just had
other things on my mind.
**[09:48] ---**
Are you having fun, too?
**[09:50] ---**
I'm having fun.
**[09:51] ---**
Really, truly?
**[09:53] ---**
Really.
**[09:55] ---**
I'm really having fun.
**[10:01] ---**
Then let's eat together!
**[10:03] ---**
Let's get the most we can out of this date!
**[10:06] ---**
R-Right...
**[10:07] ---**
C'mon, Shido!
**[10:08] ---**
Sure, I'll go wherever you want me to!
**[10:16] ---**
Congratulations!
**[10:19] ---**
Raffle
**[10:19] ---**
You've won the special prize--Dream Park tickets!
**[10:23] ---**
What's that? Is it something amazing?
**[10:25] ---**
It's very amazing!
**[10:27] ---**
Please go now! Come on!
**[10:29] ---**
It's right behind here.
**[10:31] ---**
Dream Park?
**[10:33] ---**
Weekdays
Weekends & Holidays
**[10:35] ---**
This is Dream Park?
**[10:36] ---**
Shido, this looks like an interesting place!
**[10:39] ---**
What do you do here?
**[10:41] ---**
W-What... Um...
**[10:44] ---**
Tohka, let's not go in, okay?
**[10:47] ---**
Why not? Didn't you say
you'd go wherever I wanted?
**[10:51] ---**
Could it be that this is the essence of a date?
**[10:54] ---**
That's hard to deny in so many ways...
**[10:57] ---**
But no, anywhere but here!
**[10:59] ---**
Besides, we're underage!
**[11:00] ---**
But...! A date!
**[11:01] ---**
Come on, let's go!
**[11:01] ---**
A date!
**[11:05] ---**
Origami, what are you doing?
It's past the time to meet--
**[11:08] ---**
I'm checking the movements of the target.
**[11:10] ---**
Send an emergency arming
device to point 088-107.
**[11:21] ---**
Equip Complete
**[11:24] ---**
I can't believe him. Why didn't
he bring her in and do the deed?
**[11:28] ---**
Kawagoe, you've failed many times
with that tactic, haven't you?
**[11:32] ---**
It's important to acknowledge
an established fact.
**[11:34] ---**
It's fine. Doing things in the proper
order seems more like Shido, anyway.
**[11:39] ---**
Oh? Rain?
**[11:41] ---**
That's strange.
**[11:42] ---**
There weren't any rain clouds in the vicinity.
**[11:45] ---**
Oh, well, it might be for the best.
**[11:51] ---**
What is this place?
**[11:53] ---**
It's not the secret base of
the Mecha-Mecha Squad, is it?
**[11:56] ---**
No, no, don't worry.
**[12:06] ---**
Why can't I get you, you chicken?!
**[12:08] ---**
Hey, Shido, you say something, too!
**[12:11] ---**
I told you, that one is hard.
**[12:14] ---**
If you don't think of a strategy,
you won't be able to get it.
**[12:16] ---**
Then what should I do?
**[12:18] ---**
This one looks like you
could probably get it easily.
**[12:22] ---**
I don't want something
like that. I want this one.
**[12:24] ---**
I see. Is there another machine
with this prize around...?
**[12:29] ---**
I'll get any one you want!
**[12:31] ---**
Catch, catch.
**[12:36] ---**
Can we get it?
**[12:38] ---**
Tohka, let's get it together.
**[12:40] ---**
I'll take this button.
**[12:42] ---**
When I give the signal, let go of your button.
**[12:45] ---**
We've only got one chance.
**[12:47] ---**
All right.
**[12:48] ---**
1 try: 100 yen
6 tries: 500 yen
**[12:56] ---**
Not yet, not yet.
**[12:59] ---**
Not yet!
**[13:02] ---**
Now! Let go, Tohka!
**[13:10] ---**
Oh!
**[13:11] ---**
Not yet! It's not over until it drops.
**[13:22] ---**
Tohka, your timing was perfect.
**[13:24] ---**
It was because I gave bad instructions.
**[13:26] ---**
Drop!
**[13:29] ---**
Drop! Why won't you drop?!
**[13:31] ---**
Shido and I worked so hard together.
**[13:33] ---**
Drop! Please drop!
**[13:35] ---**
Tohka...!
**[13:36] ---**
I beg of you! Please drop!
**[13:39] ---**
Please!
**[13:53] ---**
It dropped!
**[13:57] ---**
Hey, Shido, how does that transform?
**[14:00] ---**
Unfortunately, trains don't transform.
**[14:02] ---**
What? Are they fusion types?
**[14:05] ---**
Well, they do attach together in a row.
**[14:07] ---**
Ooh!
**[14:09] ---**
Shido, I had fun today.
**[14:12] ---**
I'm glad you had fun.
**[14:14] ---**
It was a little unfortunate that we
couldn't go into Dream Park, though.
**[14:18] ---**
F-Forget about that.
**[14:21] ---**
I'll forget about it if you say so, Shido.
**[14:24] ---**
Shido, just what is a date, anyway?
**[14:28] ---**
I couldn't figure it out.
**[14:30] ---**
A date... is when a boy and a girl
go out and have fun together.
**[14:35] ---**
Is that what it is?
**[14:37] ---**
Then we had a wonderful date today!
**[14:40] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[14:44] ---**
Dates are so nice.
**[14:47] ---**
I can't believe it.
**[14:50] ---**
For a Spirit to show up
without a spatial quake--
**[14:53] ---**
and for her to be in contact with a human boy.
**[14:55] ---**
Permission to shoot?
**[14:56] ---**
Not yet. The higher-ups are still discussing it.
**[15:00] ---**
It's a very irregular situation.
**[15:02] ---**
And no one's been evacuated yet.
**[15:04] ---**
We'll just have to wait and see.
**[15:07] ---**
Point Alpha here. What happened--?
**[15:11] ---**
What? We've got permission to shoot?
**[15:14] ---**
All the humans were very kind.
**[15:16] ---**
Yeah, no one tried to kill you, right?
**[15:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:22] ---**
I didn't know that the world was
so kind... so fun... so pretty...
**[15:31] ---**
Now I understand why the
Mecha-Mecha Squad is after me.
**[15:36] ---**
Because whenever I appear in this world,
I ruin something this beautiful.
**[15:42] ---**
Tohka...
**[15:44] ---**
Shido, I think it's better
that I don't exist after all.
**[15:50] ---**
That's not true!
**[15:52] ---**
There was no spatial quake today, was there?
**[15:55] ---**
You didn't ruin anything!
**[15:57] ---**
But that doesn't mean that there won't
be a spatial quake the next time I appear.
**[16:02] ---**
Once I go back and fall asleep,
I won't be able to control myself.
**[16:06] ---**
Then just don't go back!
**[16:08] ---**
Have you ever tried it?
Just once? Tried staying here?
**[16:12] ---**
But that's... There are so
many things I don't know...
**[16:16] ---**
I'll teach you what you don't know!
**[16:18] ---**
I'd need food and a place to sleep...
**[16:20] ---**
Unexpected things might happen...
**[16:23] ---**
I'll take care of everything!
**[16:24] ---**
We can figure out the unexpected
things when they happen.
**[16:28] ---**
Is it really... okay for me to be alive?
**[16:32] ---**
Is it okay for me to be in this world?
**[16:34] ---**
Yes, it is!
**[16:36] ---**
Only you would say that, Shido.
**[16:40] ---**
Humans like the Mecha-Mecha Squad won't
want something so dangerous nearby.
**[16:45] ---**
That doesn't matter!
**[16:46] ---**
Even if everyone else rejects you,
**[16:49] ---**
I will accept you even more strongly!
**[16:55] ---**
Take my hand. That's all
you need to do for now.
**[17:04] ---**
Distance: 512.15, wind direction: 40.8, wind
speed: 0.04, temperature: 24.2°C, RH: 52.8.
**[17:14] ---**
We're all clear.
**[17:16] ---**
Tohka!
**[17:18] ---**
W-What are you doing?
**[17:36] ---**
Origami. Origami? Origami?!
**[17:47] ---**
Shido...
**[17:59] ---**
I thought maybe if Shido was there for me...
**[18:04] ---**
It would be hard, but I would be able to do it...
**[18:10] ---**
But it was no use.
**[18:12] ---**
It was no use after all!
**[18:17] ---**
The world has rejected me!
**[18:31] ---**
Adonai merek!
**[18:54] ---**
Sandalphon!
**[19:13] ---**
Halvanhelv!
**[19:15] ---**
How dare you? How dare you,
how dare you, how dare you?!
**[19:25] ---**
No way...
**[19:26] ---**
Origami, retreat immediately!
**[19:29] ---**
Support troops, what are you doing?!
**[19:31] ---**
Origami. Origami!
**[19:37] ---**
You bastard...
**[19:39] ---**
You're the bastard that killed Shido,
who was my friend, aren't you?
**[19:46] ---**
Shido Itsuka... I...
**[19:49] ---**
Kill her, kill her, kill her...
**[19:52] ---**
Die, die...
**[19:54] ---**
I killed him.
**[19:54] ---**
Die, utterly!
**[19:57] ---**
Shido has no pulse or heartbeat.
**[19:57] ---**
Spatial quake alarm official announcement
**[20:00] ---**
The spatial quake alarm has been announced.
**[20:02] ---**
Resident evacuation is still at 7%.
**[20:04] ---**
We're lucky there aren't many houses nearby,
**[20:07] ---**
but at this rate, the whole
town will be decimated.
**[20:11] ---**
Well, as a knight, I guess
he gets a passing grade.
**[20:14] ---**
If this killed the princess, he wouldn't
have been worth looking at... Huh?
**[20:19] ---**
C-Commander... What about Shido?
**[20:19] ---**

**[20:21] ---**
Don't worry about him. Carry on.
**[20:24] ---**
Shido won't be finished by something like that.
**[20:26] ---**
Huh?
**[20:29] ---**
It's here.
**[20:38] ---**
H-H-Hot!
**[20:43] ---**
Huh? Why am I...?
**[20:44] ---**
Commander... This is...?
**[20:44] ---**
Spatial quake alarm official announcement
**[20:46] ---**
I told you already. Even if Shido dies once,
he'll be able to start a new game.
**[20:51] ---**
What are you dragging your feet for?
**[20:52] ---**
Recover Shido immediately.
**[20:54] ---**
He's the only one who can stop her, huh?
**[20:58] ---**
Yes, using the method we saved for last.
**[21:09] ---**
I... killed someone...
**[21:15] ---**
I'm... the same... as the Spirits...
**[21:37] ---**
End it.
**[21:39] ---**
Dad... Mom...
**[21:42] ---**
Shido, I will avenge you now...
**[21:49] ---**
S-Shido?!
**[21:56] ---**
Shido? Is it really you?
**[21:59] ---**
Yeah, I think so.
**[22:02] ---**
Shido! Shido, Shido!
**[22:06] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[22:10] ---**
Tohka, this is--?
**[22:12] ---**
I accidentally unsheathed Halvanhelv--
**[22:14] ---**
I have to release it somewhere!
It's the only way!
**[22:16] ---**
N-No, you can't! You definitely can't do that!
**[22:19] ---**
Then what should I do?
**[22:21] ---**
It's already reached the critical state!
**[22:23] ---**
Shido, it's time to use that method I taught you--
the only way to save the princess.
**[22:31] ---**
T-Tohka...
**[22:33] ---**
Kiss me!
**[22:35] ---**
What?
**[22:36] ---**
Ah... never mind!
**[22:38] ---**
I'm sure there's another way...
**[22:39] ---**
What's a kiss? Tell me!
**[22:41] ---**
Huh?
**[22:41] ---**
Hurry, tell me!
**[22:43] ---**
Uh, it's where you put your lips together and--
**[23:06] ---**
S-Sorry, they told me this was the only way...
**[23:10] ---**
Don't let go...
**[23:12] ---**
If you do, you'll see...
**[23:19] ---**
Shido...
**[23:20] ---**
Huh?
**[23:21] ---**
Will you take me out on another date?
**[23:27] ---**
Yeah, anytime.
**[23:48] ---**
*Suddenly you appeared*
**[23:51] ---**
*In my monochrome days*
**[23:54] ---**
*The cold wind changes*
**[24:00] ---**
*Something that is conveyed*
**[24:03] ---**
*Better than the words you speak so earnestly*
**[24:09] ---**
*What do you think it is?*
**[24:12] ---**
*You're different from anyone I've ever met*
**[24:18] ---**
*You're not trying to steal my heart*
**[24:21] ---**
*You're trying to understand it*
**[24:24] ---**
*Feel me! Could you be the only one*
**[24:27] ---**
*who can wake me from my sleep?*
**[24:30] ---**
*You're like the prince from
the picture books I read as a kid*
**[24:36] ---**
*Touch me! It's just a feeling*
**[24:38] ---**
*But I think there's a door only you can touch*
**[24:42] ---**
*Knock softly and turn the lock with those hands*
**[24:47] ---**
*Please! Save my heart*
**[25:06] ---**
Everyone, let me introduce a transfer student.
**[25:10] ---**
Tohka Yatogami
**[25:12] ---**
My name is Tohka Yatogami.
**[25:14] ---**
Nice to meet you all!
