**[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*

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] ---**

**[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*
