    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.

    self-respecting adults,
[00:39] ---
    the Elite Reeducation Academy,
    a civilian educational facility, was created.

[02:32] (Flashback) ---
    More...
[02:38] (Flashback) sign
    Harder!
[02:49] (Flashback) sign
    Hey...
[02:51] (Flashback) sign
    Your father and little brother are dead.
[02:53] (Flashback) sign
    You haven't been home.
[02:54] (Flashback) sign
    What are you doing here?
[02:56] (Flashback) sign
    Have you sold your soul to the devil, Jean?
[03:00] (Flashback) sign
    Wh-Who are you?
[03:01] (Flashback) ---
    How did you get in here?
[03:04] (Flashback) sign
    You're Shian, aren't you?
[03:08] (Flashback) sign
    My father told me about you.
[03:11] (Flashback) sign
    Your father would be heartbroken
    to know you were doing this...
[03:14] (Flashback) sign
    The daughter of a hero... doing...
[03:16] (Flashback) sign
    Doing what?
[03:17] (Flashback) sign
    He's dead.
[03:19] (Flashback) sign
    It's up to me how I live my life, isn't it?
[03:21] (Flashback) sign
    What?
[03:22] (Flashback) sign
    Hey, Jean.
[03:24] (Flashback) ---
    Who is this guy?
[03:25] (Flashback) sign
    Do you know each other?
[03:28] (Flashback) sign
    It hurts...
[03:31] (Flashback) sign
    My heart...
[03:34] (Flashback) sign
    Quickly, my medicine!
[03:38] (Flashback) sign
    My medicine...
[03:39] (Flashback) ---
    Bring me my medicine!
[03:46] (Flashback) sign
    Hey!
[03:47] (Flashback) ---
    What are you doing?
[03:48] (Flashback) sign
    Give him his medicine!
[03:53] (Flashback) sign
    Give me that medicine!
[04:20] (Flashback) shi
    Hey, Jean, what are you doing?
[04:24] (Flashback) jean
    That old man and I just
    finalized our registry.
[04:28] (Flashback) shian
    Registry?
[04:29] (Flashback) ---
    He's your husband?
[04:30] (Flashback) shian
    Why didn't you save him?
[04:32] (Flashback) shian
    Don't tell me...
[04:33] (Flashback) ---
    you were after the inheritance?
[04:35] (Flashback) shian
    This is murder!
[04:36] (Flashback) ---
    What are you thinking?!
[04:37] (Flashback) shian
    Bro was an honest man!
[04:39] (Flashback) ---
    How can you be so shameless?
[04:41] (Flashback) jean
    You shut up!
[04:42] (Flashback) jean
    Shut your mouth! Shut your mouth!
[04:44] (Flashback) jean
    Everyone on the team for your
    last mission died, didn't they?
[04:48] (Flashback) jean
    Why were you the only one who returned?
[04:50] (Flashback) jean
    Don't tell me it was just luck!
[04:53] (Flashback) jean
    You're the spy, aren't you?
[04:56] (Flashback) jean
    I don't want to hear any lectures from you!
[04:59] (Flashback) jean
    This is the only way I have
    to repay my debts!
[05:02] (Flashback) jean
    You say he's a hero?
[05:04] (Flashback) ---
    You've got to be kidding me!
[05:06] (Flashback) jean
    When I couldn't pay my student fees and
    had to drop out of school, what did he do?
[05:10] (Flashback) jean
    What about when Mom collapsed
    and went to the hospital?
[05:12] (Flashback) jean
    What did he do for her?
[05:14] (Flashback) jean
    Hero my ass!
[05:16] (Flashback) jean
    That bastard abandoned his family...
[05:18] (Flashback) jean
    Ever since I was a kid,
    I hardly ever even saw him.
[05:20] (Flashback) jean
    He never did a damn thing for me.
[05:21] (Flashback) jean
    How's he my father, exactly?
[05:22] (Flashback) jean
    Police officers don't make much money,
[05:25] (Flashback) jean
    but our family was under constant threat.
[05:27] (Flashback) jean
    We had to move over and over again.
[05:29] (Flashback) jean
    He doesn't even know how old I am!
[05:31] (Flashback) jean
    You call him a hero?
[05:32] (Flashback) jean
    When I was teased and bullied at school,
[05:33] (Flashback) jean
    what did he do to help me?
[05:35] (Flashback) jean
    That "big hero" of yours...
[05:36] (Flashback) jean
    You don't you even know the
    life he put his family through!
[05:40] (Flashback) jean
    What's a police officer really good for, huh?
[05:49] (Flashback) shi
    You got a problem?
[05:51] (Flashback) jean
    I stood by that old pervert,
[05:54] (Flashback) ---
    but I won't get any inheritance.
[05:56] (Flashback) jean
    It's all going to his ex-wife and child.
[06:01] (Flashback) jean
    All I got was his stock in a ruined school.
[06:04] (Flashback) jean
    Dying of a heart attack serves him right.
[06:07] (Flashback) shi
    M-More...
[06:09] (Flashback) shi
    Please...
[06:11] (Flashback) shi
    Torment me more, please.
[06:13] (Flashback) jean
    You...
[06:14] (Flashback) shi
    It's all my fault.
[06:16] (Flashback) shi
    Because I got scared.
[06:17] (Flashback) shi
    Even though it was a life-or-death situation,
[06:19] (Flashback) ---
    I only thought about myself.
[06:22] (Flashback) shi
    I let Bro die, yet I lived...
[06:27] (Flashback) shi
    I was so scared...
[06:28] (Flashback) shi
    I didn't want to die.
[06:30] (Flashback) shi
    Ever since then... I haven't slept.
[06:33] (Flashback) shi
    When I close my eyes,
    I just see Bro's dead face.
[06:37] (Flashback) shi
    I can't take it anymore.
[06:40] (Flashback) shi
    But when you hit me with the whip,
     my heart feels lighter.
[06:43] (Flashback) shi
    It takes away a little of my guilt.
[06:47] (Flashback) shi
    Please, torment me more!
[06:50] (Flashback) ---
    Please!
[06:57] (Flashback) jean
    If you want to atone,
[06:59] (Flashback) ---
    you can repent with your life.
[07:02] (Flashback) jean
    Next month, come with me to that school.
[07:05] (Flashback) jean
    You're going to give the
    students proper guidance.
[07:10] men
    Be careful!
[07:12] men
    Watch yourself.
[07:15] shi
    What am I doing?
[07:19] ryo
    Head Instructor, good work.
[07:21] ryo
    Have you nearly finished moving the packages?
[07:25] ryo
    You're far too easy on the students.
[07:28] ryo
    Look at Shin and Hibiki.
[07:30] ryo
    Those two are throwing the
    whole school into chaos.
[07:33] ryo
    You need to be careful, too.
[07:35] ryo
    Don't forget your position.
[07:37] ryo
    You made it through safely this time,
[07:40] ryo
    but if something really does happen,
[07:42] ---
    you'll be forced to take responsibility.
[07:48] shi
    I...
[08:06] shi
    Am I atoning?
[08:10] aka
    Oh, it hurts too much! I can't keep this up!
[08:13] aka
    Come on, look at my feet!
[08:15] aka
    They're covered in blisters!
[08:17] hoku
    It was only five kilometers of running.
[08:20] ---
    Toughen up.
[08:21] aka
    It's not just that!
[08:22] ---
    We have to clean the classrooms
    and bathrooms, right?
[08:24] aka
    I'll use my hands and feet for those, too...
[08:26] aka
    I'm just so exhausted!
[08:28] shio
    Cleaning is better than having naked
    pictures taken of you, isn't it?
[08:32] aka
    And Shin took away my precious treasure.
[08:36] aka
    I really am all alone.
[08:38] aka
    I'll just have to work
    with my little sister Hoku
[08:41] aka
    and wait until we can get out of here!
[08:43] hey
    Hey! Stop it!
[08:45] hey
    Don't drag me into this!
[08:47] shio
    At least you have each other.
[08:51] shio
    But I...
[08:54] shio
    Let's not cause any more trouble,
[08:55] ---
    and just get out of here quickly.
[08:58] hoku
    Shiori.
[08:59] ---
    How did you wind up in here, exactly?
[09:02] hoku
    Shouldn't you be with your
    hospitalized little brother?
[09:05] hoku
    You look like the honor student type,
[09:07] hoku
    so I doubt you really have
     Internet addiction.
[09:10] aka
    Hey, Hoku, stop talking.
[09:12] aka
    If you want to talk to your little brother,
[09:14] ---
    I can steal you a cell phone.
[09:16] hoku
    But we can only connect to the local network.
[09:18] ---
    We need to get your device back.
[09:21] aka
    And once I get it back,
    I can settle things with Shin!
[09:24] shi
    Local network?
[09:26] shi
    What do you mean?
[09:35] man
    Hey, you.
[09:36] ---
    Time's up.
[09:37] man
    You can come out.
[09:39] ---
    You hear me?
[09:41] man
    Quit stalling and come out!
[09:46] man
    What, did you go crazy
    after two weeks in there?
[09:50] hib
    I'm sorry for worrying you.
[09:52] ---
    I'm just fine.
[09:55] hib
    I feel wonderful, in fact.
[10:00] man
    Wh-What the hell...
[10:02] man
    Stop talking and go.
[10:05] man
    I need to clean things up here.
[10:16] man
    Wh-What is...
[10:41] mei
    Stop! You bitch!
[10:42] aka
    Why do I have to be so unlucky?!
[10:46] (Flashback) shio
    There are two networks?
[10:48] (Flashback) aka
    For now, we have to be subtle.
[10:50] (Flashback) aka
    I'm short, so they won't notice me as easily.
[10:53] (Flashback) aka
    So leave this to me.
[10:55] (Flashback) aka
    I'm gonna go investigate!
[10:57] (Flashback) shio
    No! You can't go alone!
[10:59] (Flashback) hoku
    You don't get it.
[11:01] (Flashback) hoku
    Akane just doesn't want to clean.
[11:03] aka
    I just came out for some air!
    Why are you chasing me?
[11:08] aka
    My feet hurt! I'm gonna die!
[11:10] kids
    Catch her!
[11:11] ---
    We can get a reward!
[11:23] aka
    Oh, it hurts!
[11:25] mei
    You can't get away now.
[11:28] mei
    Hey, you...
[11:30] mei
    Aren't you Moku, the kid who
    sneaked out by digging a tunnel?
[11:33] mei
    Haven't seen you in a while.
[11:34] ---
    I thought you'd run away again.
[11:36] mei
    That's perfect, though.
[11:38] mei
    We'll finish you both off together.
[11:40] aka
    What, you think trash like you can beat me?
[11:42] ---
    Dream on.
[11:43] aka
    You, say something.
[11:45] moku
    Me? Say what?
[11:49] aka
    Start resisting already!
[11:52] aka
    You just want to let them pound you?
[11:54] moku
    Resisting won't work.
[11:56] aka
    Hey, are you...
[11:58] moku
    In this place,
[11:59] ---
    resisting won't change anything.
[12:03] aka
    What's with you?
[12:06] mei
    You realize resistance is futile, then?
[12:08] mei
    Get them, guys!
[12:11] hib
    Stop it.
[12:18] aka
    H-Hibiki?
[12:28] aka
    Get lost.
[12:31] aka
    Wh-What happened?
[12:33] aka
    He's like a totally different person.
[12:35] mei
    Is that Hibiki?
[12:38] mei
    I remember now.
[12:39] mei
    You're the loser that Yoh-san beat up.
[12:43] mei
    What are you talking about?
[12:45] mei
    Trying to be a hero again?
[12:48] ---
    You piece of trash.
[12:51] mei
    You just got out of solitary, right?
[12:54] mei
    Did being locked up make you crazy?
[12:56] mei
    Say something!
[12:58] mei
    I'm class leader. When you talk
    to me, you'd better kneel!
[13:00] mei
    Got it?
[13:02] mei
    You loser.
[13:03] ---
    Kneel this instant!
[13:06] mei
    Ow, ow...
[13:09] mei
    Let go of my hand!
[13:10] ---
    Damn it! Let go of my finger!
[13:12] mei
    Let go!
[13:15] mei
    S-Stop it!
[13:16] ---
    What are you looking at?
[13:17] mei
    Get him!
[13:18] mei
    Right!
[13:20] hib
    I'm not stronger than you guys.
[13:22] hib
    But...
[13:23] hib
    Human joints are equally brittle on anyone.
[13:27] mei
    Ouch!
[13:31] mei
    Mei, you okay?
[13:32] mei
    I didn't think he'd go so far...
[13:36] kou
    Damn it... I'll kill you!
[13:38] hib
    Here they come.
[13:40] hib
    Keep your eyes open...
    and watch their movements carefully.
[13:46] hib
    My body's still locking up.
[13:48] hib
    One more time!
[13:59] hib
    Damn it... Surround him!
[14:01] hib
    I can't let them surround me.
[14:09] gen
    Bastard... I got you now!
[14:14] hib
    You still want to fight?
[14:17] mei
    Don't be scared.
[14:18] ---
    Overwhelm him.
[14:19] mei
    He's just bluffing.
[14:21] kou
    Got you!
[14:22] ---
    Now we'll pound you!
[14:33] jan
    What's with this guy?
[14:38] mei
    Damn... he fights dirty.
[14:40] gen
    Aiming at our joints and weak points...
[14:43] gen
    That's low!
[14:44] hib
    Still want more?
[14:47] mei
    He's crazy today.
[14:49] mei
    We can't let him beat us.
[14:50] mei
    Let's go.
[14:51] mei
    We can finish him off some other time.
[14:53] all
    Right...
[15:04] aka
    Hey, you saved me, right?
[15:07] aka
    I'll see to your injuries.
[15:09] aka
    Come along.
[15:12] moku
    That guy is really strong.
[15:24] aka
    There's nowhere else to go,
    so this warehouse will do.
[15:27] aka
    There are bandages here, too.
[15:36] hib
    This place is...
[15:43] hib
    Huh?
[15:47] aka
    Darling, you saved me!
[15:51] ---
    Um, thanks!
[15:51] ---
    Thank you so much!
[15:53] hib
    I actually wanted to work with you...
[15:53] aka
    Lay one on me! You've gotten even hotter!
[15:57] aka
    I get it!
[15:58] ---
    So you saved me because
    you want to be my knight?
[16:01] aka
    I won't just work with you, I'll do it with you!
[16:03] hib
    Wait! Calm down!
[16:07] hoku
    Akane!
[16:08] ---
    We heard Mei's gang were
    chasing you around, and...
[16:12] hoku
    Are you okay?
[16:17] aka
    I'm fine.
[16:18] ---
    You came during the best part.
[16:19] shio
    Hibiki...
[16:21] aka
    Look at my darling!
[16:24] shi
    What are you doing here?
[16:26] hib
    Shiori.
[16:29] hib
    I...
[16:31] hib
    I won't run away again.
[16:33] hib
    I'm going to keep walking down this road.
[16:41] jean
    Instructor Ryo, what do you need?
[16:45] ryo
    Nothing in particular.
[16:47] ryo
    I was just hoping for a little sting
     from the queen's whip.
[16:51] ryo
    You look so beautiful when you're angry.
[16:54] ryo
    But why do you always choose
    an old man to take it out on?
[16:57] ryo
    I know familiarity is a good thing,
    but Shian is hopelessly boring.
[17:02] ryo
    He's such a sourpuss, too.
[17:05] ryo
    I could teach you a bit
    about the vigor of youth.
[17:12] jean
    Is that so?
[17:14] jean
    Perhaps I'll test that, then.
[17:18] all
    One, two, three, four!
[17:21] shi
    All of you, halt!
[17:23] all
    One, two!
[17:25] shi
    Okay, twenty minutes' rest!
[17:33] hibi
    Head Instructor Shian.
[17:35] boy
    Huh?
[17:35] boy
    Is that...
[17:37] sei
    He's out of solitary, huh?
[17:40] mei
    He's showing off again. What's he plotting?
[17:44] shi
    What?
[17:45] hibi
    I wish to show my repentance
    before the whole class.
[17:51] shi
    Fine.
[17:53] hibi
    Thank you.
[17:55] hibi
    While I was in solitary, I reflected on my sin.
[17:59] hibi
    I started fights with the other classes
[18:02] ---
    and caused a lot of trouble
    for the class four guys.
[18:04] hibi
    I won't do it again.
[18:06] hibi
    I have repented, but it's not enough.
[18:09] hibi
    I want to take your teachings to heart,
[18:12] ---
    and think of my classmates
    as my brothers from now on.
[18:15] hib
    I'd only just gotten here
    so I didn't know much,
[18:18] hib
    but please give me one more chance.
[18:22] dai
    How'd he say all that embarrassing
    shit with a straight face?
[18:26] shi
    Hibiki.
[18:27] ---
    Well said.
[18:28] shi
    You really are repentant. I'm impressed.
[18:30] shi
    Please keep up your practice
    with this in mind.
[18:33] sei
    A-Are you kidding?
[18:34] dai
    The head instructor is
    totally falling for it.
[18:37] shi
    If you can recognize what we're doing here,
[18:39] ---
    you'll find every day in this place
    positive and fulfilling.
[18:43] shi
    I believe in you.
[18:45] hib
    Thank you!
[18:47] all
    You're kidding!
[18:48] all
    It's an obvious sham!
[18:50] all
    Oh, please!
[18:52] hoku
    One, two, three, four!
[18:56] girls
    One, two, three, four!
[18:59] tou
    What's a girl's class doing here?
[19:01] ---
    Think they want to hang out?
[19:02] hoku
    All of you, halt!
[19:04] hoku
    At ease!
[19:06] hoku
    Instructor, we of class eighteen
[19:08] hoku
    wish to extend a hand of
    friendship to the new students.
[19:11] shi
    Instructor Cho, what is all this?
[19:15] cho
    Head Instructor,
[19:16] cho
    our class has been doing training
    in kung-fu and self-defense.
[19:20] cho
    It seems they're not getting
    enough out of the other girls,
[19:24] ---
    so they want to try it with the boys.
[19:26] cho
    But the ones who have been
    here a while are too strong,
[19:28] ---
    so they could get hurt.
[19:29] cho
    We thought the new students,
    who have only just begun training,
[19:32] ---
    might make good opponents.
[19:33] cho

[20:56] girls
