    A new kind of disease has been
    spreading among young people.
[00:14] ---
    Following prolonged
    periods of Internet usage,
[00:17] ---
    sufferers develop a pathological
    dependence on the Internet.
[00:23] ---
    Experts have named this
    disease "Internet Addiction."
[00:28] ---
    In order to get these addicted
    youngsters back on the right track
[00:34] ---
    and reform them into independent,
    self-respecting adults,
[00:39] ---
    the Elite Reeducation Academy,
    a civilian educational facility, was created.
[00:46] ---
    It is a place to help young
    people to grow up right.

[02:27] shian
    Don't forget this.

[02:31] shian
    All you need to do is follow my orders.
[02:33] shian
    Follow them to the letter!
[02:37] shian
    You're the dregs of society.

    a thirty-minute extension.
[03:11] all
    Okay, bunny hops for 500 meters!
[03:13] all
    I'd better not see any hands
    or knees hit the ground!

[03:47] hibi
    What is all this?
[03:48] hibi
    Is this a phys ed school?
[03:51] kyo
    I give up!
[03:53] kyo
    I'm so hungry.
[03:54] ---
    My vision's blurring...
[03:55] toh
    Same here...
[04:01] shian
    Get up, trash!
[04:04] shian
    Who told you to take a break?!
[04:07] kyo
    Instructor, I'm sorry!
[04:08] ---
    I really can't stay standing!
[04:12] kyo
    That's all it takes to break you, is it?
[04:15] kyo
    Garbage! Quit your whining!
[04:17] kyo
    On your feet!
[04:18] kyo
    You want to be punished?
[04:19] toh
    I'm so hungry!
[04:20] toh
    I can barely move!
[04:27] shi
    On your feet!
[04:28] hib
    I-Instructor!
[04:31] hib
    Please don't hit them.
[04:33] hib
    They missed lunch, so they
    don't have any stamina.
[04:37] shi
    You just got here, but you
    think you're their leader, huh?
[04:41] hib
    But they really—
[04:44] shi
    Are you talking back to your instructor?
[04:50] ins
    What is it?
[04:52] ins
    You'd better not be skipping out.
[04:53] ins
    If I find one weed remaining,
    you'll be punished.
[04:57] shi
    You think you're in any
    position to look after others?
[05:00] shi
    How much you've eaten doesn't matter!
[05:01] shi
    When I tell you to stand, you stand!
[05:03] shi
    When I tell you to run, you run!
[05:05] shi
    I don't accept backtalk!
[05:06] shi
    Don't you act big with me!
[05:07] shi
    Who the hell do you think you are?!
[05:10] hib
    Stop it right now!
[05:25] hib
    I... I didn't hit you on purpose.
[05:28] hib
    Please, don't hurt me.
[05:29] hib
    It's not good to hurt people.
[05:31] shi
    You damned new kid...
[05:33] shi
    You'll pay for hitting me.
[05:35] shi
    You want to die, do you?
[05:37] hib
    Then hit me until I die!
[05:38] ---
    You're the one in the wrong!
[05:42] shi
    What was that?
[05:43] kyo
    What the hell is he thinking?
[05:55] hib
    You're the one who's in the wrong here.
[05:57] hib
    So you can't just beat me into line!
[06:03] hib
    Don't think I'll give you the run of the
    place just because you're Shin's dog.
[06:08] hib
    Stuck-up brat. You think you're
    a real do-gooder, do you?
[06:11] hib
    Shin's dog?
[06:13] hib
    Don't be ridiculous.
[06:14] ---
    Shin and I have nothing
    to do with each other.
[06:17] hib
    This school is insane.
[06:19] hib
    There's nothing scientific
    about this training.
[06:20] hib
    If you won't even feed them properly,
[06:23] ---
    someone's going to die at some point!
[06:25] hib
    Will you take responsibility if
    something really does happen?
[06:27] hib
    There are laws about the
     treatment of minors, you know?
[06:30] hib
    I'm not afraid of you instructors.
[06:31] hib
    Because if you beat me,
    I'll report you to the police!
[06:34] hib
    This whole illegal school
    is gonna get shut down!
[06:36] shi
    Police, huh?
[06:37] shi
    Illegal, you say?
[06:39] ---
    You'll shut the school down, will you?
[06:41] shi
    Has Internet usage made you crazy, too?
[06:44] shi
    At this school, I am the
    police! I am the law!
[06:47] shi
    Now, shout away!
[06:49] shi
    Who will come to save you?
[06:52] hibi
    You're the one who's crazy!
[06:54] hibi
    No matter how much you hit me,
    I won't submit to you!
[06:58] wu
    I can't wait to see where this goes.
[07:02] hib
    The rest of you, say something!
[07:04] hib
    You're sick of it, aren't you?
[07:05] hib
    The way this school does things is illegal!
[07:07] hib
    Don't be afraid!
[07:09] ---
    All of you, say something!
[07:12] mei
    I'm trash! I'm garbage!
[07:14] ---
    I'll follow your instructions, instructor!
[07:16] mei
    I follow the rules of the school!
[07:18] mei
    Your instructions are absolute!
[07:20] mei
    I'll follow your orders!
[07:24] hibi
    What's going on here?
[07:26] shi
    You hear that?
[07:27] shi
    Looks like nobody's taking your side.
[07:30] shi
    And if that's not enough,
    I'll ask one more time.
[07:33] shi
    Does anyone think what I'm doing is illegal?
[07:36] kyo
    N-No! It's not!
[07:38] kyo
    Like you said, useless trash
    like us should be punished!
[07:44] hib
    What's wrong with you guys?
[07:47] shi
    Remember this.
[07:49] shi
    At this school, I make the rules!
[07:52] shi
    Now, acknowledge your mistake!
[07:53] shi
    Or do you still have more you
    want to say, you arrogant trash?
[07:59] hib
    I...
[08:00] shio
    Head Instructor.
[08:03] shio
    I have something to say.
[08:07] hib
    Sh-Shiori...
[08:09] ---
    I knew it. Someone came to help me!
[08:28] shio
    Instructor. Forgive me.
[08:30] shio
    As student council president,
[08:32] ---
    I take responsibility for the
    insubordination of new arrivals.
[08:35] shio
    Please give him once more chance.
[08:37] shio
    I'll see that it doesn't happen again.
[08:40] shio
    Please.
[08:42] hib
    Shiori...
[08:44] hib
    What are you saying? Why?
[09:02] hib
    Shiori... why?
[09:07] shio
    Are you stupid or something?
[09:08] shio
    You think you can become a hero here?
[09:11] shio
    The instructors here are serious brutes.
[09:13] shio
    Most of them are retired military or ex-cops.
[09:16] shio
    You couldn't beat them if
    there were twenty of you.
[09:18] shio
    If you don't want to die, apologize.
[09:20] hib
    I don't care if I die. I'm not afraid!
[09:24] hib
    If I have to live in a place
    like this, I'd rather die!
[09:28] hib
    Good is good and evil is evil!
[09:30] hib
    I'm not in the wrong! I'll never accept it!
[09:32] hib
    It's the school that's illegal.
[09:34] hib
    The teachers are using corporal
    punishment on the students!
[09:37] hib
    What will you do if somebody dies here?
[09:45] shio
    Don't be crazy! They really will kill you!
[09:48] shio
    Do you know how many have died here?
[09:50] hibi
    I don't care! I'm not in the wrong!
[09:52] shio
    Idiot! Get a grip already!
[09:54] shi
    Nothing to see here! 
    Get back to your training!
[09:54] shio
    What will dying accomplish for you?
[09:56] hibi
    Let me go!
[09:57] hibi
    Leave me alone!
[09:58] hibi
    I'm putting an end to this hellhole!
[09:59] shio
    Stop it!
[10:00] hibi
    Come on! Try and hit me if you want!
[10:03] hibi
    I'd love to see you try!
[10:04] shio
    Hibiki! You have to stop!
[10:05] hibi
    Back off! Don't get in my way!
[10:15] shio
    Oh, no...
[10:22] hibi
    Hey! What are you doing?
[10:26] shi
    You bastard! Stay down!
[10:30] jun
    I gave you a chance, you know.
[10:32] ---
    What do they call this again?
[10:33] jun
    "What goes around comes around"?
[10:42] wu
    I had my eye on you for a while,
    but the truth finally comes out.
[10:46] wu
    So our proud student council president
    was sneaking around with a cell phone.
[10:51] wu
    You'll need to be punished
    for breaking the rules.
[10:54] shio
    Wudo, you...
[10:56] shia
    Shiori.
[10:57] shia
    I'm disappointed in you.
[11:00] shia
    You said I employed corporal
    punishment earlier.
[11:03] shia
    You said the school was illegal.
[11:05] shia
    Fine. It's time you learned some sense.
[11:10] shia
    All of you!
[11:12] ---
    If your classmate does something wrong,
    you'll receive the punishment for him!
[11:14] shia
    Isn't that right?
[11:15] shia
    Yes! Yes, sir!
[11:16] shia
    We'll gladly take it!
[11:17] shia
    If my classmate is wrong, 
    it's my responsibility!
[11:21] kyo
    What the hell?
[11:22] shi
    Then get down on the ground!
[11:24] shi
    Until he repents, you're all
    taking his punishment!
[11:35] all
    Thank you! Thank you, instructor!
[11:39] all
    Thank you!
[11:41] hib
    This isn't their fault! Stop it!
[11:44] shi
    Bring Shiori to her feet.
[11:49] shi
    Bring the girls from Shiori's class,
     class nineteen, here.
[11:53] shi
    Line up in front of her
    and teach her a lesson.
[11:56] shi
    If you think Shiori was wrong,
    slap her across the face.
[11:58] shi
    Make her realize what she's done wrong.
[12:03] girl
    You broke the rules.
     I think you were wrong.
[12:08] shi
    Put your back into it!
[12:10] shi
    If you don't, you'll get punished, too!
[12:12] girl
    Shiori... I'm sorry!
[12:16] girl
    I'm sorry!
[12:19] boy
    Thank you!
[12:21] shian
    I can't hear you! Louder!
[12:24] boy
    Thank you for your guidance!
[12:29] hib
    Stop it!
[12:30] ---
    Stop hitting them! Please!
[12:33] hib
    Stop!
[12:35] boy
    Instructor! Thank you!
[12:37] boy
    Thank you for your guidance!
[12:42] hibi
    I was wrong! You were right!
[12:45] ---
    Please forgive me!
[12:46] hibi
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[12:48] hibi
    I've apologized enough now, haven't I?
[12:50] hibi
    Please stop!
[12:51] hibi
    I'm begging you, stop it now!
[12:56] shi
    All right. That's it for now.
[12:59] shi
    Disperse!
[13:00] mei
    Damn it, my back's in agony.
[13:03] mei
    If you wanna die right after you get here,
[13:05] ---
    don't drag us down with you!
[13:09] boy
    If you want to die,
    just kill yourself, asshole!
[13:15] ins
    Now, disperse!
    Return to the classrooms at once!
[13:18] mei
    This isn't over.
[13:22] jun
    Now, my slap comes last!
[13:28] wudo
    How are you feeling, dear President?
[13:31] wudo
    After what you did,
[13:33] ---
    you know you can't be president anymore.
[13:36] wudo
    Well?
[13:37] ---
    If you want to keep it up,
    maybe you should lick my shoes.
[13:43] ins
    You, too! Get inside now!
[13:57] hib
    I'm sorry, Shiori.
[14:00] hib
    I did this to you...
[14:03] hib
    I'm so, so sorry.
[14:09] shio
    You're worthless.
[14:11] shio
    Never talk to me again.
[14:16] hib
    I... What am I doing?
[14:19] hib
    Acting like I'm some great do-gooder...
[14:23] hib
    Damn it!
[14:24] ---
    How could this happen?
[14:29] shin
    Spoken like a true loser.
[14:33] shin
    It suits you.
[14:38] shin
    What do you think?
[14:39] ---
    Did it feel good trying to defend them?
[14:42] shin
    You even outed Shiori for her cell phone.
[14:45] ---
    Quite the hero.
[14:51] hib
    I want to be your dog!
[14:53] hib
    Make me your dog!
[14:54] hib
    I'll do anything to stop being a loser!
[14:57] hib
    You can do something, can't you?
[15:01] shin
    A good horse won't eat trampled grass.
[15:04] shin
    In other words, I don't look back.
[15:07] shin
    If I let you come and go as you please,
[15:10] ---
    it would ruin my reputation.
[15:12] hibi
    But I...
[15:13] shin
    I don't let just anyone become my dog.
[15:18] shin
    You had a chance, and you let it go.
[15:21] shin
    If you want me to reconsider,
    I'll do so on three conditions.
[15:25] hib
    Three... conditions?
[15:27] shin
    One... Become leader of your class.
[15:32] shin
    Two...
[15:33] ---
    Oust Wudo from his position
    as discipline officer.
[15:36] hib
    But...
[15:37] shin
    Three...
[15:47] shin
    If you can meet all three conditions,
[15:50] shin
    I'll acknowledge you as my dog.
[15:52] shin
    With my help, you can rule this school.
[15:58] hib
    Who are you? What do you want?
[16:02] shin
    You want to know?
[16:05] shin
    Then do what I told you.
[16:11] jin
    Things got a bit noisy out on the field.
[16:14] jin
    What happened?
[16:15] shin
    Nothing in particular.
[16:17] jin
    I hope that's true...
[16:19] jin
    But you know, it is our job to turn that trash
[16:23] jin
    into what their parents want them to be.
[16:27] jin
    It's about time.
[16:29] ---
    Head to the workshop.
[16:30] jin
    Instructor Ryo is waiting.
[16:32] shi
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:39] mei
    Your room's full of weirdos.
[16:42] mei
    The coward from before ran, too.
[16:44] mei
    Your fighting strength is only level five,
    so you're a burden for our class.
[16:47] mei
    And on top of that, your new
     roommate got us all punished!
[16:52] mei
    You hear us?
[16:53] ---
    You'd better see to it!
[16:55] mei
    Give him a real beating!
[16:56] mei
    Beat him to death!
[16:58] mei
    If you don't send him to the hospital, 
    you'll be sending yourselves to the hospital!
[17:01] mei
    That goes for you new kids, too. Got it?
[17:08] mei
    What the hell? You really came back?
[17:11] mei
    You've got some guts.
[17:12] ---
    We were just hoping to see you.
[17:13] hib
    Listen to me, all of you!
[17:14] hib
    Starting today, I'm class four's leader!
[17:22] mei
    This guy's a total moron!
[17:24] mei
    What did he say?
[17:26] ---
    I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts!
[17:28] mei
    What was he thinking?
[17:29] hib
    If you make me your leader, you can
    eat this stuff whenever you want.
[17:34] hib
    Ham?
[17:35] hib
    Pig's feet?
[17:36] hib
    Chicken wings and sausage...
[17:38] hib
    Bread and chocolate, too!
[17:39] hib
    What the heck?
[17:43] hib
    What do you think?
[17:44] ---
    Want to take me as your leader?
[17:46] mei
    We'll follow you forever, leader! Thank you!
[17:49] boy
    Leader! Hibiki-sama!
[17:50] boy
    I'm so glad you're alive!
[17:51] boy
    Leader, what can we do for you?
[17:51] boy
    Leader, we pledge our loyalty to you!
[17:53] hibi
    Okay, gather everyone
    from class four together.
[17:56] hibi
    We've got some big game to hunt.
[17:59] (Flashback) shin
    Becoming class leader is
    merely the first step.
[18:01] (Flashback) shin
    The important part is what comes after.
[18:10] wu
    Today was so great.
[18:12] boy
    Yeah! I hope Shiori gets a huge punishment!
[18:12] boy
    I can't wait to get my hands on her!
[18:14] boy
    She's got such a hot body!
[18:20] (Flashback) shin
    Your position won't be stable
    unless you defeat the real leader.
[18:25] (Flashback) shin
    Wudo is the target that you must defeat.
[18:37] hib
    Hey, Wudo! You damned pig!
[18:39] hib
    This school is mine from now on!
[18:41] hib
    You don't like it, fight me!
[18:43] wu
    Damn you...
[18:45] boy
    Hold it! You want to die, huh?
[18:47] wu
    Call the guys from class one!
    He's starting a fight!
[18:50] boy
    We'll finish you!
[18:59] boy
    Damn you... Come back here!
[19:01] shin
    Oust Wudo from his position 
    as discipline officer.
[19:04] shin
    And take that position for yourself.
[19:17] wu
    Damn him. Why isn't he slowing down?
[19:21] wu
    Damn it! Someone grab him!
[19:23] wu
    Whoever grabs him gets anything they want!
[19:27] wu
    I'll be the one to get him!
[19:28] wu
    No, me!
[19:29] ---
    I'll get him first!
[19:31] hib
    I knew it.
[19:32] ---
    Just a little long-distance running,
    and no one can catch me.
[19:36] (Flashback) hib
    Me? Beat Wudo?
[19:37] (Flashback) ---
    You gotta be kidding.
[19:39] (Flashback) hib
    If I could beat that guy,
    I wouldn't need your help!
[19:41] (Flashback) hib
    Besides, he's always
    surrounded by his own men...
[19:44] (Flashback) shin
    You idiot.
[19:46] (Flashback) shin
    Humans can kill beasts far
    more powerful than themselves.
[19:50] (Flashback) shin
    And their fellow humans, of course.
[19:52] (Flashback) shin
    With proper application of
    wisdom and strength,
[19:54] (Flashback) ---
    you can defeat any enemy.
[19:56] (Flashback) shin
    And you're not without
    your strengths, are you?
[20:22] boy
    What?
[20:23] boy
    You put bricks... in your jacket...?
[20:30] shin
    You must have at least one skill, don't you?
[20:36] (Flashback) adv
    It really is a shame.
[20:38] (Flashback) adv
    I had such high hopes for you.
[20:41] (Flashback) adv
    Why do you want to quit?
[20:43] (Flashback) adv
    If you keep going at your current pace,
[20:45] (Flashback) ---
    you could even win the next tournament.
[20:47] (Flashback) hib
    I'm sorry.
[20:49] (Flashback) hib
    I've made up my mind.
[20:50] (Flashback) adv
    Is it the pressure?
[20:52] (Flashback) adv
    If there's something on your
    mind, you can talk to me.
[20:55] (Flashback) hib
    I'm sorry.
[20:57] shin
    Use your strengths to
    exploit their weaknesses.
[21:01] shin
    If you can do that,
[21:03] ---
    you'll be a loser no longer.
[21:13] wu
    Damn. He's incredible.
[21:15] wu
    He can run that far, and still hit people...
[21:19] wu
    How much stamina has he got?
[21:32] wu
    That son of a...
[21:34] wu
    Circle around to the other end.
[21:35] wu
    We'll trap him.
[21:40] boy
    This is a dead end!
[21:42] ---
    I got you!
[21:47] boy
    What the hell?
[21:48] ---
    He's as slippery as a fish!
