[00:27] ---
    What in the world happened here...?
[00:31] ---
    This is...?
[00:44] ---
    What was that just now...?
[01:04] ---
    You've given us a hard time!
[01:08] ---
    Power incompatible with
    humans destroys the physical body.
[01:13] ---
    To recover using that
    incompatible power and use it again--
[01:18] ---
    That is how Shido came, so he could see Tohka.
[01:44] ---
    Fate, are all things inevitable?
[01:47] ---
    An encounter that attracts us
    and entwines our stories
[01:54] ---
    Hey, this throbbing in my chest
[01:57] ---
    If I can't understand it (up to you)
[02:01] ---
    I'll just fall as I am
[02:05] ---
    Now, choose, let's start a thrilling date
[02:14] ---
    Whenever we talk,
    whenever we touch, whenever we laugh
[02:17] ---
    I can never give up these
    feelings that are awakening
[02:24] ---
    This is the first time I have
    been this honest with myself
[02:27] ---
    Because I met you,
    someone I always want to be with
[02:35] ---
    I want to believe, Date A Live
[02:51] ---
    Episode Nine: The Truth About Miku
[02:56] ---
    Tohka...
[03:01] ---
    Toh... ka...
[03:08] ---
    How pitiful.
[03:14] ---
    Gabriel, Solo!
[03:29] ---
    Miku...
[03:30] ---
    Will you please stop
    calling me by my first name?
[03:33] ---
    It's making my lovely name accumulate
    impurities that will never go away.
[03:39] ---
    Big sister, what do you want us to do?
[03:43] ---
    Let's see.
[03:44] ---
    It doesn't look like there's enough
    space inside the building for your angels,
[03:48] ---
    so why don't you take care of the Wizards
    outside to keep them from getting in the way?
[03:57] ---
    Miku, why are you here...?
[04:02] ---
    Don't tell me, it's about that promise?
[04:04] ---
    Please don't get the wrong idea.
[04:06] ---
    I don't care about that promise one bit!
[04:09] ---
    I came here because I thought
    I'd add another Spirit to my collection.
[04:17] ---
    Miku, thanks. I owe you one.
[04:30] ---
    Jessica! What about your comrades?!
[04:34] ---
    It's no use!
[04:40] ---
    It doesn't look like she's in
    any state to make decisions.
[04:44] ---
    Her mind probably had to process too much
    magical power in a short amount of time...
[04:47] ---
    Mana! We're coming to back you up! Dodge!
[05:02] ---
    Oh, you dodged? Nice reflexes.
[05:06] ---
    Mana...!
[05:09] ---
    You're very persistent!
[05:10] ---
    Disappear! Blastark!
[05:18] ---
    I don't like ganging up two against one,
[05:21] ---
    but if those are Ike's wishes,
    then I have no choice.
[05:25] ---
    Mana, Mana?
[05:27] ---
    I've finally got you cornered, Mana...
[05:31] ---
    Damn...
[05:33] ---
    What wonderful reflexes!
[05:35] ---
    However--
[05:40] ---
    Jackpot!
[05:49] ---
    Wh--?!
[05:52] ---
    Master Sergeant Tobiichi!
[05:54] ---
    That equipment...
[05:55] ---
    Where's Shido?
[05:56] ---
    Huh? Big brother's safe.
[05:59] ---
    He's in Building No. 1 right now.
[06:07] ---
    Do you think I'd let you go?
[06:09] ---
    I'll force my way through...
[06:10] ---
    Hey, will you tell me where
    Tohka is locked away right now?
[06:17] ---
    Th-That's classified information...
[06:20] ---
    If you don't tell me, I'm going to hate you...
[06:24] ---
    N-No, big sister!
[06:27] ---
    Sh-She's in the quarantine
    area on the 18th floor!
[06:29] ---
    If you use this ID, you'll be able to get in.
[06:31] ---
    So please, big sister, have mercy!
    Have mercy on me!
[06:37] ---
    I love honest girls.
[06:40] ---
    There are many different
    ways to get things done.
[06:43] ---
    You're scary.
[06:45] ---
    She said the quarantine area
    was on the 18th floor, right?
[06:47] ---
    All right, let's go, Miku.
[06:50] ---
    Can you please not make it seem
    like I'm cooperating with you?
[06:56] ---
    Shoot! Don't go easy on them!
[07:07] ---
    Do you really think that
    attack is enough to stop me?
[07:12] ---
    You underestimate me.
[07:22] ---
    H-Hey!
[07:30] ---
    How unsightly.
[07:32] ---
    Why are you trying this hard?
[07:35] ---
    I told you.
[07:37] ---
    I have to save Tohka.
[07:40] ---
    I don't have time to stand around.
[07:42] ---
    Oh, please. How pathetic!
[07:45] ---
    Are you that enthralled by
    yourself saving the tragic heroine?
[07:49] ---
    You're too old to believe
    you can be a superhero!
[07:54] ---
    Could it be that you don't
    want to take back what you said
[07:57] ---
    about how Tohka is more
    important to you than your own life?
[08:01] ---
    It's fine, you know.
[08:02] ---
    It's not going to make
    me more disappointed in you.
[08:04] ---
    Hey, don't ignore me!
[08:10] ---
    Well, how about this?
[08:13] ---
    Why don't you say that you're going
    to give up on Tohka here and now?
[08:16] ---
    If you do that, then I'll use my voice to
    make as many girls your slaves as you want...
[08:20] ---
    Shut up!
[08:26] ---
    No one can replace Tohka!
[08:33] ---
    You can't keep up that act forever!
[08:36] ---
    That's all your "love" and
    "cherish" is, isn't it? An act?
[08:40] ---
    You've got the wrong idea!
[08:42] ---
    Humans aren't all like that...
[08:43] ---
    Shut up...!
[08:46] ---
    Humans are just my playthings!
[08:49] ---
    Men are my slaves!
[08:50] ---
    Girls are my cute little dolls!
[08:52] ---
    That's all humans are worth!
[08:55] ---
    Miku... Why do you hate men so much?
[08:59] ---
    Why do you treat girls like things?
[09:02] ---
    What made you come to see humans in that way?
[09:05] ---
    Huh?
[09:06] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[09:09] ---
    That's just what humans are--
[09:10] ---
    Even though you're human, too?
[09:14] ---
    You were originally human
    when something like Phantom
[09:17] ---
    or Noise did something
    to you to make you a Spirit.
[09:21] ---
    Am I wrong?
[09:23] ---
    How do you know that?
[09:26] ---
    An acquaintance of mine was able to find out.
[09:28] ---
    Yod's power is recollection.
[09:31] ---
    It is an attack that tells me the
    target's memories of the past.
[09:38] ---
    You're a human too, aren't you?
[09:41] ---
    If so, then you should...
[09:43] ---
    Please shut up!
[09:45] ---
    You--
[09:46] ---
    What do you know about anything?!
[09:50] ---
    Miku...
[09:51] ---
    What in the world happened to you?
[09:55] ---
    Miku!
[09:59] ---
    You're very persistent.
[10:05] ---
    I was just a normal singer--
    a human one, of course.
[10:11] ---
    My name was Tsukino Yoimachi.
[10:15] ---
    All I had were my songs.
[10:18] ---
    So, I was truly happy that my songs
    were reaching many people.
[10:25] ---
    Everyone praised my songs.
[10:29] ---
    They said they loved them.
[10:33] ---
    One day, after I had become somewhat popular,
[10:35] ---
    my manager told me
[10:38] ---
    a producer from a certain TV station liked me,
[10:42] ---
    so I should be nice to him...
[10:45] ---
    By "be nice to him," you mean...
[10:48] ---
    Yeah, it's what you think it means.
[10:51] ---
    Of course, I refused.
[10:53] ---
    Because my desire wasn't to be on TV--
[10:56] ---
    I just wanted everyone to hear my songs.
[11:00] ---
    But then a scandal about something I had no
    idea about was published in a weekly magazine.
[11:05] ---
    Tsukino Yoimachi
    Men, money, and drugs
[11:06] ---
    No one, not even my agency, protected me.
[11:11] ---
    But what hurt most was
    the reaction of my fans...
[11:14] ---
    No, the people I thought were my fans...
[11:19] ---
    Even then, I had my songs.
[11:22] ---
    As long as they listened to my songs,
    I thought they would understand.
[11:26] ---
    However...
[11:40] ---
    I was diagnosed with psychogenic aphonia.
[11:45] ---
    I lost my voice because of those terrible men...
[11:53] ---
    I think what happened to you is unfortunate.
[11:56] ---
    Those producers and fans that had
    a change of heart make me angry!
[12:00] ---
    But I don't think you should hate
    other humans because of what happened.
[12:03] ---
    Please be quiet!
[12:04] ---
    All men are pigs!
[12:05] ---
    Anyway, you don't think there was a single
    person who really listened to your music?!
[12:09] ---
    I'm sure there were people
    who were unaffected by the scandal
[12:12] ---
    who continued to enjoy your songs!
[12:14] ---
    Th-Those people...!
[12:16] ---
    Miku, you've created an illusion of
    "scary humans" within yourself!
[12:23] ---
    Be quiet!
[12:27] ---
    Shut up, shut up, shut up!
[12:29] ---
    What do you know?
[12:31] ---
    Idiot! Moron! Blockhead!
[12:34] ---
    Hey, just because I hit
    the bullseye doesn't mean--
[12:37] ---
    That's not true!
[12:39] ---
    It's just because you're an idiot!
[12:41] ---
    Stupid, stupid, stupid!
[12:43] ---
    Oh, c'mon, you little...
[12:45] ---
    I can't leave Yoshino or Kaguya
    or Yuzuru to you after all.
[12:49] ---
    I'll definitely seal your spirit powers!
[12:52] ---
    Are you telling me to go back to how I was?
[12:55] ---
    There they are!
[12:56] ---
    To being songless, worthless me?!
[12:57] ---
    I didn't say that!
[13:05] ---
    I don't want you to hide behind
    the voice you use to control people.
[13:09] ---
    I just want you to sing with your real voice!
[13:11] ---
    Don't talk like you know everything!
[13:13] ---
    As long as I have this voice,
[13:15] ---
    I can be the best idol!
[13:17] ---
    Without this voice--
[13:21] ---
    who would listen to me?
[13:23] ---
    I would!
[13:26] ---
    I listened.
[13:28] ---
    It was only one song, though.
[13:31] ---
    An earnest song where you gave it your best.
[13:34] ---
    It was good!
[13:35] ---
    I don't... I don't believe you!
[13:38] ---
    Not a single fan that said that believed in me!
[13:42] ---
    During hard times, no one
    reached a hand out to me!
[13:45] ---
    That's not what I think!
[13:47] ---
    I know that there are fans out there
    who believe in you and are waiting for you!
[13:50] ---
    But... if it's really as you say,
[13:54] ---
    then I promise to reach a hand out to you!
[13:58] ---
    I don't believe you.
[14:00] ---
    They're all lies, anyway.
[14:02] ---
    They have to be!
[14:03] ---
    You know what?
[14:05] ---
    You need to listen better--!
[14:06] ---
    Shut up!
[14:09] ---
    I can't hear you!
[14:10] ---
    Stupid, stupid, stupid!
[14:14] ---
    Could this be...
[14:16] ---
    ...the isolation chamber where Tohka is?
[14:24] ---
    Origami Tobiichi.
[14:26] ---
    I did not think you would appear here.
[14:29] ---
    However, do you really think you can do
    anything with that mishmash of equipment?
[14:35] ---
    It's equipment from a
    terrorist group that was uncovered.
[14:38] ---
    There's no ID restriction on it.
[14:40] ---
    This is the only place that
    escaped HQ's retrieval order.
[14:44] ---
    I say this out of concern for you.
[14:46] ---
    If you act too rashly, you will die.
[14:50] ---
    That doesn't matter if I can save Shido!
[15:01] ---
    Did you really think an
    attack like that would work?
[15:05] ---
    I've been underestimated...
[15:17] ---
    This is--?!
[15:18] ---
    Now!
[15:24] ---
    So you've thought this through.
[15:29] ---
    Instead of going after the Territory itself,
[15:31] ---
    you aimed to confuse the
    mind that generates it, huh?
[15:35] ---
    I see, it's not a very elegant method.
[15:38] ---
    But it could work.
[15:40] ---
    If you had been facing
    someone else, you would've won.
[15:44] ---
    But unfortunately, it's not something you
    can use against the world's strongest Wizard.
[15:50] ---
    I don't want to kill Ike's favorite,
[15:53] ---
    but you seem to be able to think for yourself,
[15:57] ---
    so I don't want to just leave you as you are.
[16:05] ---
    Th-This is...
[16:07] ---
    Converging magic power cannon, Mistilteinn.
[16:09] ---
    Target, Ellen Mathers. Direct hit.
[16:12] ---
    If it is your command, I could
    hit an apple atop someone's head.
[16:30] ---
    Now you've done it.
[16:32] ---
    Even with the little disruption,
[16:35] ---
    you're only the second person
    to ever injure me in my lifetime.
[16:39] ---
    Origami Tobiichi, you are a wonderful Wizard.
[16:43] ---
    You should be proud of yourself...
[16:46] ---
    However, you can do that in the next world.
[16:55] ---
    Ike!
[16:57] ---
    Where?!
[16:58] ---
    Looks like my time's up.
[17:00] ---
    You were lucky.
[17:07] ---
    Tohka!
[17:09] ---
    I was waiting for you.
[17:11] ---
    Can I call you a friend of Princess?
[17:17] ---
    I don't believe we've met before.
[17:20] ---
    I am Isaac Westcott from DEM Industries.
[17:25] ---
    So you're Isaac...?
[17:28] ---
    Good job making it here, Diva.
[17:31] ---
    And... Oh?
[17:34] ---
    What are you?
[17:37] ---
    No, don't tell me... There's no way...
[17:40] ---
    I am Shido Itsuka!
[17:41] ---
    I have come to save Tohka!
[17:43] ---
    Let her go now!
[17:46] ---
    Shido Itsuka? You?
[17:50] ---
    A boy who can handle the power of Spirits?
[17:53] ---
    I didn't think it was possible, but I see.
[17:58] ---
    How amusing!
[18:00] ---
    This is all according to
    that woman's plans, I see!
[18:05] ---
    What's wrong with him?
[18:08] ---
    That's why I don't like men.
[18:11] ---
    I don't think it has anything
    to do with him being a man, though.
[18:14] ---
    Hurry up and release Tohka!
[18:16] ---
    I wonder what'll happen
    if I don't do what you say?
[18:22] ---
    Sorry, but I'll force you
    to obey me if I have to!
[18:25] ---
    Can you?
[18:28] ---
    I can, if that's what it takes to save Tohka!
[18:32] ---
    I'm just kidding. I'm not as strong as Ellen.
[18:41] ---
    Tohka!
[18:43] ---
    Shido...?
[18:45] ---
    Tohka!
[18:46] ---
    Shido!
[18:48] ---
    Shido, Shido...
[18:51] ---
    Shido!
[18:53] ---
    Sorry, Tohka. Sorry to keep you waiting.
[18:59] ---
    Hey, you. Open this up!
[19:02] ---
    You have such a specialized skill.
[19:05] ---
    Why don't you cut it and tear it open yourself?
[19:09] ---
    Miku, I want him to do
    as I say. Can you help me?
[19:13] ---
    I don't like you telling me what to do, but...
[19:17] ---
    Oh, that's right.
    There's something I forgot to tell you.
[19:22] ---
    Shido Itsuka.
[19:24] ---
    If you stand there...
[19:27] ---
    ...you'll be in danger.
[19:29] ---
    Shido, behind you!
[19:31] ---
    Wh...?
[19:43] ---
    Ellen...
[19:45] ---
    I will break any sword pointed at Ike.
[19:48] ---
    Shido, Shido!
[19:50] ---
    I attacked because he manifested
    an angel, but was that all right?
[19:55] ---
    Yeah, that's fine.
[19:58] ---
    In fact, it's more than fine.
    It works out for us.
[20:01] ---
    Shido, Shido!
[20:03] ---
    Toh... ka...
[20:06] ---
    Shido!
[20:07] ---
    Shido, Shido! Shido!
[20:10] ---
    Now, Spirit Princess, Tohka Yatogami!
[20:14] ---
    I think we're going to kill
    your precious Shido Itsuka now.
[20:19] ---
    Wh--?!
[20:20] ---
    Try and stop Ellen's blade
    with everything you have.
[20:26] ---
    Spirit armor...
[20:27] ---
    Your angel...
[20:28] ---
    And if that's still not enough,
    whatever lies after that.
[20:39] ---
    Sandalphon!
[20:50] ---
    Why?
[20:51] ---
    Why, why?!
[20:53] ---
    Stop, stop!
[20:55] ---
    Stop it!
[20:56] ---
    Not that...
[20:58] ---
    Not Shido!
[20:59] ---
    I don't care what happens to me!
[21:02] ---
    I'll do anything!
[21:04] ---
    I'll do whatever you say!
[21:05] ---
    So please...
[21:07] ---
    Please... not Shido!
[21:09] ---
    Stop it...!
[21:15] ---
    My angel isn't enough?
[21:18] ---
    I don't care what you do. Save Shido...
[21:20] ---
    Someone, please. Shido...
[21:23] ---
    I don't care who.
[21:24] ---
    Just save Shido!
[21:27] ---
    I don't care what happens to me.
[21:28] ---
    Save Shido.
[21:30] ---
    Shido.
[21:31] ---
    Shido...
[21:32] ---
    Shido. Save Shido...
[21:58] ---
    The most severe level?
[21:59] ---
    What the--?!
[22:01] ---
    Shiizaki!
[22:02] ---
    What happened?!
[22:03] ---
    C-Category... E...
[22:06] ---
    Spirit power levels are negative...
[22:09] ---
    Don't tell me...
[22:12] ---
    Sephirah's inversion...
[22:21] ---
    Ike, this is...
[22:24] ---
    The kingdom has inverted...
[22:26] ---
    Now, prepare yourselves, mankind.
[22:31] ---
    It's time for the triumphal
    return of the demon king.
[22:34] ---
    It was, it was an endless journey
[22:41] ---
    A tale about a hero who saved you
[22:59] ---
    Once, in a fairytale land
[23:02] ---
    A hero started his journey
[23:04] ---
    Running through the meadows
[23:07] ---
    Heading toward the princess
[23:10] ---
    A pitch-black cave
[23:12] ---
    Overcoming a windy mountain wilderness
[23:17] ---
    With sword held aloft
[23:20] ---
    Flames of courage reflecting in his eyes
[23:25] ---
    Shaking off the hands of darkness
[23:28] ---
    Clasping your hand
[23:31] ---
    Even now, even if it was a dream
[23:33] ---
    I would take up a sword
[23:36] ---
    And find you
[23:39] ---
    Tearing through the darkness
[23:41] ---
    Even if I fall, even through hardships
[23:44] ---
    I won't be defeated
[23:47] ---
    Hold tight to my hand
[23:52] ---
    Inextinguishable flames of courage
[23:57] ---
    Illuminate the world
