[00:27] ---
    Master Sergeant Origami Tobiichi,
[00:29] ---
    your suspension is lifted as of today.
[00:33] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[00:34] ---
    You will not get a second chance.
    If this happens again--
[00:37] ---
    Stop, Captain...!
[00:40] ---
    Major Tsukamoto, what is the meaning of this?!
[00:43] ---
    Captain Kusakabe?
[00:44] ---
    The formation of an independent unit consisting
    of transfers from DEM Industries in the AST.
[00:49] ---
    And for them to be granted discretionary
    powers during emergency situations?
[00:52] ---
    Forming a unit like this is absurd!
[00:54] ---
    The AST might as well have
    been bought out by DEM!
[00:58] ---
    That's...
[00:59] ---
    There's no use following the orders of the
    useless team that couldn't even catch one Spirit
[01:03] ---
    in an area where there have been the most
    spatial quakes in the past few years.
[01:09] ---
    Who're you?
[01:10] ---
    I'm Jessica Bailey.
    I was just assigned to the AST.
[01:15] ---
    Looking forward to working with you.
[01:20] ---
    The cultural festival is a battle.
[01:23] ---
    Some fight it out on stage with their rivals,
[01:25] ---
    some compete with sales from their stalls,
[01:28] ---
    and some fight loneliness as
    they wander the grounds alone.
[01:55] ---
    Fate, are all things inevitable?
[01:58] ---
    An encounter that attracts us
    and entwines our stories

[02:05] ---
    Hey, this throbbing in my chest
[02:08] ---
    If I can't understand it (up to you)
[02:12] ---
    I'll just fall as I am
[02:16] ---
    Now, choose, let's start a thrilling date
[02:25] ---
    Whenever we talk,
    whenever we touch, whenever we laugh

[02:29] ---
    I can never give up these
    feelings that are awakening

[02:35] ---
    This is the first time I have
    been this honest with myself

[02:38] ---
    Because I met you,
    someone I always want to be with

[02:46] ---
    I want to believe, Date A Live
[03:03] ---
    Here are the results of the nomination
    battle for our self-preservation!
[03:05] ---
    Said to work super hard even in a sweatshop,
[03:06] ---
    Episode Five: Diva
[03:09] ---
    our committee member for
    this year's Tenou Festival is...
[03:12] ---
    ...Shido Itsuka!
[03:15] ---
    What?
[03:17] ---
    So this year's victim is Itsuka, huh?
[03:19] ---
    What's the Tenou Festival?
[03:22] ---
    It's the joint cultural festival held
    by the ten high schools in Tengu City.
[03:25] ---
    Those guys are working me hard from day one...
[03:29] ---
    Sorry for making you come meet me.
[03:32] ---
    It's okay, Tohka is so hungry
    she collapsed, anyway...
[03:45] ---
    It's the spatial quake alarm!
[03:48] ---
    Kotori!
[03:49] ---
    I know. Withdraw to the Fraxinus
    immediately. We'll take you to the scene.

[04:15] ---
    ...Diva?!
[04:19] ---
    A Spirit whose appearance was only
    confirmed once, six months ago.
[04:23] ---
    There's pretty much no information

    1. You're beautiful.

[05:00] ---
    Aw, you climbed up to see me?
[05:04] ---
    Good evening, I'm--
[05:07] ---
    H-Hey...
[05:10] ---
    Huh?
[05:11] ---
    I didn't mean to eavesdrop,
    but your singing is beautiful.
[05:17] ---
    Happiness level, mood, mental state...
    All parameters are dropping fast.
[05:21] ---
    Wrong choice, huh? Let's try
    something else. Number 1!
[05:26] ---
    You're really pretty. I was surprised!
[05:31] ---
    Happiness levels are dropping even more!
[05:31] ---
    Happiness
    Mood
    Kindness
    Mental State
[05:33] ---
    She's in the range of
    being disgusted with Shido.
[05:36] ---
    What? Then we have to use
    our last resort, number 3!
[05:39] ---
    The view from below was...

    She thinks he's worse than a cockroach!
[05:45] ---
    He didn't even get to finish his line!
[05:47] ---
    U-Um...
[06:02] ---
    This is strange...
[06:04] ---
    Why won't you fall? Why won't you die?
[06:08] ---
    What?
[06:09] ---
    Please disappear from this stage,
    this world, this time and place--ASAP!
[06:17] ---
    What... did you say?
[06:19] ---
    Why are you talking to me?
[06:21] ---
    Please, don't waste your saliva.
    Don't even breathe!
[06:25] ---
    Don't you know that just by being there,
    you are contaminating the air around you?
[06:29] ---
    Um... And you are...?
[06:32] ---
    It seems you can't follow directions.
[06:35] ---
    Do you know why I'm not trampling on
    your hand to make you fall off the stage?
[06:40] ---
    Because I don't even want the
    bottom of my shoe to touch you!
[06:51] ---
    AST!
[06:58] ---
    Oh, my, aren't they wonderful?
[07:02] ---
    Yes, that's the kind of audience I want!
[07:05] ---
    Especially--
[07:07] ---
    Oh, yes! This is wonderful!
[07:09] ---
    Hey, do you want to hear me sing?
[07:14] ---
    Oh, how mean!
[07:20] ---
    The useless team isn't making any headway.
[07:23] ---
    I'll have to step in myself!
[07:25] ---
    That's...
[07:28] ---
    Shido!
[07:30] ---
    There's Shido.
[07:31] ---
    That's enough. Bring him back!
[08:00] ---
    Why am I here on a Saturday...?
[08:02] ---
    We have to practice for the stage portion,
    so we'll leave the joint meeting to you.
[08:07] ---
    Don't worry, we've prepared escorts!
[08:09] ---
    Hey, you're getting too close to Shido!
[08:12] ---
    You also should get further away from him.
[08:18] ---
    Wha--?!
[08:26] ---
    Good afternoon. Thank you
    for coming, everyone.
[08:31] ---
    This can't... be true...
[08:34] ---
    Here's hidden camera footage from a
    secret concert I got from an acquaintance.
[08:38] ---
    Miku Izayoi, huh?
[08:40] ---
    I didn't think she would be a Spirit.
[08:43] ---
    So she's Miku...
[08:44] ---
    You knew who she was?
[08:46] ---
    I'd heard of her.
[08:47] ---
    She's done some songs for
    commercials and TV shows and stuff.
[08:50] ---
    Artist Information: Miku Izayoi -- Unknown
[08:50] ---
    She debuted six months ago.
[08:52] ---
    Even though she's had many hits and had her
    voice and talent compared to an "aural drug,"
[08:57] ---
    she's a mysterious idol who has
    never revealed herself to the public.
[09:00] ---
    Kurumi's no match for her when it
    comes to blending in with this world.
[09:05] ---
    Hey, what about that Spirit like you...?
[09:07] ---
    Phantom. We gave her an identifying
    name for convenience's sake.
[09:11] ---
    According to Internet reports,
    Mikutan has an extreme distaste for men,
[09:15] ---
    and only girls were allowed into this concert.
[09:18] ---
    In addition, it seems she's taken
    home some female fans before!
[09:24] ---
    D-Does that mean...?
[09:26] ---
    It's possible that Miku Izayoi is
    a yuri girl who loves other girls.
[09:30] ---
    Then I won't be able to do
    anything about her, will I?
[09:32] ---
    We have a plan, of course.
[09:35] ---
    Wh--?
[09:36] ---
    What?!
[09:37] ---
    Good luck...
[09:40] ---
    ...big sister!
[09:44] ---
    You'll have to contact Miku while they're
    setting up the grounds, understand?
[09:48] ---
    You really think this is going to work?
[09:51] ---
    It will if Reine's hypothesis is correct.
[09:53] ---
    Don't worry, the whole crew has given
    your charm their stamp of approval.
[09:57] ---
    Have confidence in yourself.
[09:59] ---
    Why do I have to do this...?
[10:01] ---
    You're forgetting the voice changer.
[10:02] ---
    I know...
[10:11] ---
    All right, let's go!
[10:15] ---
    Um... Shido said there was
    something he just had to do...
[10:20] ---
    Man... I mean, I was told to go to Tengu
    Square with everyone in his place.
[10:25] ---
    That bastard!
[10:26] ---
    He ran away!
[10:27] ---
    That's so lame!
[10:29] ---
    By the way, who are you?
[10:31] ---
    I'm uh, Shido's cousin... Sh...
    Shidomi... I mean, Shiori Itsuka.
[10:38] ---
    Shido, what are you doin...?
[10:39] ---
    There's a reason for this.
    Can you pretend you don't know me?
[10:43] ---
    Oh, I see. All right!
[10:44] ---
    Nice to meet you, woman-who-isn't-Shido!
[10:48] ---
    Huh?
[10:49] ---
    Look this way.
[10:51] ---
    That's good, Shiori. Very good.
[10:54] ---
    Take something off.
[10:55] ---
    Huh? Wh...? I... I can't...
[10:58] ---
    It's all right. You can bare all.
[11:01] ---
    Hold...! Wai...! St...!
[11:05] ---
    N... No...!
[11:16] ---
    Rindoji's booths are in the first building.
[11:21] ---
    There she is! I'm following her.
[11:24] ---
    No Entry
[11:34] ---
    Well, shall we?
[11:37] ---
    Yeah.
[11:42] ---
    Oh?
[11:50] ---
    What's your name?
[11:51] ---
    Huh? Man, I...
[11:55] ---
    "Man"?
[11:55] ---
    Shido, you idiot!
[11:57] ---
    Uh, that was just...!
[11:59] ---
    You have a funny way of talking.
[12:02] ---
    But it is quirky and lovely.
[12:06] ---
    Happiness levels and mood numbers
    are steady. They didn't drop.
[12:10] ---
    It seems she thinks the way
    Shido talks is "quirky."
[12:14] ---
    I guess you can just talk normally.
[12:16] ---
    The choices have come up.
[12:16] ---
    1. Ask for an autograph
    2. Why are you here?
    3. Will you sell me your panties?

[12:20] ---
    I understand number 2,
    but why is number 3 so popular?
[12:23] ---
    That would sound perverted from a man, but it
    might be just the thing for the quirky Shiori.
[12:27] ---
    Hm... It might be good for
    determining Miku's tolerance level.
[12:31] ---
    Are you serious?
[12:33] ---
    Say it like it's a joke.
[12:37] ---
    Hey, man...
[12:38] ---
    Yes?
[12:39] ---
    Will you sell me the panties
    you're wearing for 30,000 yen?
[12:44] ---
    Let's see...
[12:45] ---
    I won't sell them, but I'd think
    about trading them for yours.
[12:50] ---
    Wh-What?!
[12:52] ---
    That was a joke.
[12:54] ---
    Anyway, shouldn't that be my reaction?
[12:56] ---
    Oh, sorry. I was joking, too.
[12:59] ---
    Your uniform...
[13:02] ---
    Do you go to Raizen?
[13:04] ---
    Um, yeah...
[13:05] ---
    Well then, let's try this again.
[13:08] ---
    I am Miku Izayoi from Rindoji Girls' Academy.
[13:11] ---
    Oh, nice to meet you.
[13:13] ---
    I'm Shiori Itsuka.
[13:15] ---
    That's a nice name.
[13:17] ---
    The numbers aren't bad.
[13:17] ---
    Happiness
    Mood
    Kindness
    Mental State
[13:19] ---
    Try asking her some questions.
[13:21] ---
    Um, I thought this place was off limits.
[13:24] ---
    What were you doing here... Miku?
[13:29] ---
    I love the stage, you know.
[13:32] ---
    The stage?
[13:33] ---
    Yes!
[13:35] ---
    I love feeling like everyone needs my song.
    I love that atmosphere!
[13:42] ---
    Could it be that you
    haven't heard of me before?
[13:46] ---
    Huh? Um...
[13:48] ---
    I seem to have put you on the spot.
[13:50] ---
    Please don't worry about it.
[13:52] ---
    Coming in here is our little secret.
[13:56] ---
    R-Right...
[14:00] ---
    Now, it's about time we went back.
[14:03] ---
    Yeah.
[14:06] ---
    Shiori?!
[14:07] ---
    Ow...
[14:13] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[14:15] ---
    You're welcome.
[14:24] ---
    Is the hamburger steak ready yet, big brother?
[14:26] ---
    Almost! Set the table and wait, okay?
[14:30] ---
    Cooking and being a guy again is really calming.
[14:33] ---
    Even though you say that, you actually
    like dressing like a girl, don't you?
[14:36] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[14:37] ---
    Anyway, we're lucky you have
    an excuse to see Miku again.
[14:42] ---
    It seems she has tea with girls
    she likes once a week.
[14:47] ---
    That's what we'll aim for next.
[14:49] ---
    Miku Izayoi singing "Mermaid Love Story."
[14:54] ---
    Ooh!
[14:55] ---
    That's a lovely song.
[14:56] ---
    I want to try it, too!
[14:58] ---
    Do you want to go to karaoke?
[15:00] ---
    I want to do the one that goes ba-dum!
[15:02] ---
    You were talking about the instruments?
[15:04] ---
    Boom! Boom!
[15:07] ---
    Boom, boom, boom...
[15:11] ---
    Ba-da-da boom!
[15:17] ---
    They're here.
[15:21] ---
    What is your business here?
[15:22] ---
    Um, yesterday I met Miku in Tengu Square...
[15:26] ---
    Are you big sister's fan?
[15:28] ---
    Big sister?
[15:28] ---
    How annoying.
[15:30] ---
    This is her private time right now--
[15:32] ---
    Oh, Shiori!
[15:34] ---
    H-Hey...
[15:42] ---
    You didn't have to do all this.
    I just wanted to say thanks.
[15:45] ---
    It's fine. I just happened to get some good tea.
[15:50] ---
    I'm so happy you came all the way to
    my school to return my handkerchief.
[15:55] ---
    But it was supposed to be for
    those girls earlier, wasn't it?
[15:59] ---
    I feel bad about taking their place.
[16:00] ---
    Please don't worry about it.
[16:02] ---
    They're good, obedient girls.
[16:08] ---
    Wow, this is amazing!
[16:21] ---
    Looks good so far!
[16:23] ---
    We might be able to get her
    faster than expected.
[16:26] ---
    Yes, you really are good.
[16:29] ---
    You're a type I haven't had before.
[16:31] ---
    Huh?
[16:32] ---
    Shiori, I've taken a fancy to you!
[16:36] ---
    Please transfer to Rindoji tomorrow.
[16:39] ---
    What?
[16:40] ---
    Don't worry about cost or academic ability.
[16:43] ---
    I will request that it be taken care of.
[16:46] ---
    Wait a minute! I can't decide
    something like that so easily!
[16:50] ---
    Please...
[16:55] ---
    E-Even if you say it like that...
[16:58] ---
    What?
[17:00] ---
    Shiori?
[17:02] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[17:04] ---
    Please take off your clothes...
[17:09] ---
    Sorry, I can't do that...
[17:12] ---
    You really won't listen to me, will you?
[17:16] ---
    Could it be that you're... a Spirit?
[17:19] ---
    Huh?
[17:21] ---
    You don't have to force yourself to hide it.
[17:23] ---
    Because there's no way a
    normal person could disobey me.
[17:29] ---
    Just what in the world are you?
[17:32] ---
    Are you a Spirit?
[17:34] ---
    Or are you with the Wizards who are after me?
[17:40] ---
    That's...
[17:44] ---
    What shall we do?
[17:45] ---
    If we try to cover it up,
    it'll have the opposite effect.
[17:48] ---
    It's a gamble, but let's try
    negotiating with her directly.
[17:52] ---
    I'm not a Spirit.
[17:54] ---
    I'm not a Wizard, either. I'm human.
[17:56] ---
    That's unfortunate. Lies don't become you...
[17:59] ---
    But, I have the ability to seal Spirit powers.
[18:04] ---
    What do you mean?
[18:06] ---
    It's what it sounds like...
[18:08] ---
    I have sealed the power of five Spirits so far.
[18:11] ---
    As long as your powers are sealed,
    the AST won't go after you.
[18:16] ---
    You can live peacefully in this world.
[18:19] ---
    If you will believe me...
[18:22] ---
    Miku, I want you to let me help you.
[18:29] ---
    Okay, I believe you.
[18:31] ---
    Really?
[18:32] ---
    But I don't need you to seal my powers.
[18:35] ---
    Wh--?
[18:36] ---
    Because you know,
[18:38] ---
    I'm perfectly satisfied with
    the way my life is right now.
[18:45] ---
    Is that how she's playing?
    Keep trying to convince her.
[18:48] ---
    Miku, you caused a spatial quake in
    front of Tachinami Station before, right?
[18:52] ---
    Doesn't that mean you don't have
    complete control over your powers?
[18:56] ---
    Oh? You sure know a lot about me.
[19:00] ---
    Thank you for the thought,
    but you don't have to worry about me.
[19:04] ---
    Because I started that spatial quake on purpose.
[19:10] ---
    What?
[19:11] ---
    I had never sung at Tengu Arena before.
[19:16] ---
    So when I passed it in front of the station,
    I suddenly felt like singing.
[19:20] ---
    So I thought I'd just go for it.
[19:23] ---
    That was your reasoning?
[19:24] ---
    It can't be helped, can it?
[19:26] ---
    Because I wanted to sing, you know.
[19:29] ---
    If your friends were there,
    they could have died!
[19:34] ---
    That would be troubling.
[19:36] ---
    Right?
[19:37] ---
    But the girls love me.
[19:41] ---
    They would be satisfied if they died for me.
[19:47] ---
    Because they love you?
[19:49] ---
    Shido, calm down!
[19:50] ---
    Yes! Everyone just loves me.
[19:54] ---
    They do whatever I ask.
[19:58] ---
    I hate you, though.
[20:03] ---
    Oh?
[20:04] ---
    You're prideful and arrogant and intolerable.
[20:06] ---
    If everyone in the world just accepts you,
[20:10] ---
    then I'll reject you and your actions
    more than they accept you!
[20:18] ---
    Oh...?
[20:21] ---
    Being told that makes me want you even more.
[20:26] ---
    It's made me want to tease you until you come
    to me crying with your tear-streaked face...
[20:35] ---
    ...saying "I love you."
[20:38] ---
    I will not become yours!
[20:41] ---
    Then...
[20:44] ---
    ...how about we play a game?
[20:47] ---
    If Raizen wins first place on the first day of the
    Tenou Festival, then I'll let you seal my powers.
[20:55] ---
    At the Tenou Festival?!
[20:56] ---
    Yes! I will be participating in the stage portion.
[20:59] ---
    You should perform something, too.
[21:01] ---
    Wh--? But you have too much of an advantage!
[21:04] ---
    You think so?
[21:06] ---
    From my point of view, I'm already making
    a concession by letting you compete with me.
[21:11] ---
    If Rindoji wins, I will have you and
    the Spirits you sealed as my own.
[21:19] ---
    What do you say? Do you want to quit?
[21:25] ---
    Are you all serious?!
[21:27] ---
    Ha, if you can't believe it, shall I prepare
    some signed documents for you?
[21:33] ---
    Even if we go out on a limb and say
    that the plan to capture Princess is fine,
[21:36] ---
    why are there humans in
    the list of targets to capture?
[21:39] ---
    And the location is Tengu Square,
    on the grounds of the Tenou Festival?
[21:43] ---
    You want to duke it out with Spirits in a
    place where so many people will gather?
[21:46] ---
    This is a ceremony.
[21:48] ---
    A greeting to our beloved adversaries.
[21:52] ---
    What are you saying? Wait!
[21:54] ---
    Oh, right, make sure Origami Tobiichi
    doesn't find out about this.
[21:58] ---
    What?
[21:59] ---
    That's also an order from the higher ups.
[22:02] ---
    If you have any objections, don't hold back.
[22:07] ---
    What in the world was that?
[22:09] ---
    Anti-Spirits Planned Sortie Directive
    Plan to capture the Spirit 'Princess'
[22:11] ---
    Shido Itsuka...
[22:13] ---
    Where have I heard...?
[22:15] ---
    Targets: Tohka Yatogami, Shido Itsuka
[22:16] ---
    I think he was Origami's...
[22:19] ---
    It was, it was an endless journey
[22:26] ---
    A tale about a hero who saved you
[22:44] ---
    Once, in a fairytale land
[22:47] ---
    A hero started his journey
[22:49] ---
    Running through the meadows
[22:52] ---
    Heading toward the princess
[22:55] ---
    A pitch-black cave
[22:57] ---
    Overcoming a windy mountain wilderness
[23:02] ---
    With sword held aloft
[23:05] ---
    Flames of courage reflecting in his eyes
[23:10] ---
    Shaking off the hands of darkness
[23:12] ---
    Clasping your hand
[23:16] ---
    Even now, even if it was a dream
[23:18] ---
    I would take up a sword
[23:21] ---
    And find you
[23:23] ---
    Tearing through the darkness
[23:26] ---
    Even if I fall, even through hardships
[23:29] ---
    I won't be defeated
[23:31] ---
    Hold tight to my hand
[23:37] ---
    Inextinguishable flames of courage
[23:42] ---
    Illuminate the world
