[00:41] Enjin
    Welcome to the Cleaners.
[01:03] Riyo
    See ya later, Rudo.
[01:07] Rudo
    So she can mess with me some more?
[01:09] Enjin
    Rudo.
[01:11] Enjin
    This is our receptionist, Semiu.
[01:13] Enjin
    We have her take a look at anyone who joins.
[01:18] Enjin
    Semiu's ability is—
[01:27] Semiu
    It's a pleasure to meet you,
    promising newcomer.
[01:32] Semiu
    Enjin told me about you.
[01:35] Semiu
    Including where you came from.
[01:36] Semiu
    But I'd like to have a look for myself...
[01:39] Semiu
    at your potential.
[01:41] Rudo
    Potential?
[01:43] Enjin
    Those glasses are Semiu's vital instrument.
[01:46] Enjin
    They boost her kinetic vision.
[01:48] Enjin
    If she focuses, she can see
     what a person's really made of.
[01:52] Rudo
    You can use vital instruments like that, too?
[02:05] Enjin
    What's up? See something?
[02:09] Semiu
    Ah, of course.
[02:11] Semiu
    He's quite athletic already,
    so he won't need that kind of training.
[02:16] Semiu
    He has a good relationship
    with his vital instrument as well.
[02:19] Semiu
    His use of it is still unstable, though.
[02:22] Semiu
    He'll need practice to be able to
    draw on his power on command.
[02:26] Enjin
    Is that all?
[02:28] Semiu
    Not all.
[02:32] Semiu
    You've got scat on your neck.
[02:37] Enjin
    For real?! No wonder that fly
    wouldn't leave him alone!
[02:40] Enjin
    No more playing in poop, okay?
[02:43] Rudo
    I wasn't playing in it!
[02:45] Enjin
    Thanks a bunch, Semiu.
[02:47] Enjin
    I'm gonna take him to meet the boss.
[02:49] Semiu
    Sure.
[04:31] Enjin
    There's about a hundred
    of us Cleaners in total,
[04:34] Enjin
    counting combatants,
    sentinels, and supporters.
[04:37] Enjin
    Our jobs take us all over the place, though,
[04:40] Enjin
    so it's rare to have everyone here at once.
[04:43] Enjin
    Wanna meet a few folks?
[04:46] Rudo
    Meet them?
[04:47] Enjin
    There shouldn't be too many here today,
[04:50] Enjin
    so it won't take too lo—
[05:03] Enjin
    There's a ton of them here.
[05:05] Enjin
    Let's do that later!
SIGN    Episode 4
SIGN    "Cleaner HQ"
[05:15] Enjin
    This is the boss's room.
[05:17] Rudo
    I'm gonna ask how to get up—
[05:18] Enjin
    Hold on a minute!
[05:20] Enjin
    I bet you're thinking of opening with,
    "Tell me how to get to the Sphere!"
[05:26] Enjin
    Info's a valuable commodity everywhere.
[05:28] Enjin
    Like I told you earlier, it doesn't come free.
[05:32] Enjin
    You need to be the one saying
    you'll work here in exchange.
[05:37] Enjin
    Also, I volunteered info about my vital
    instrument earlier because I had to,
[05:41] Enjin
    but I'd recommend against
    asking about the boss's.
[05:45] Enjin
    None of us know what it is either,
    or what power it has.
[05:50] Enjin
    But all of us Cleaners follow the boss.
[05:55] Enjin
    That's a loyalty you earn not just from skill,
    but the ability to command trust as well.
[06:19] Enjin
    Huh?
[06:20] Semiu
    Oh, I forgot to mention.
[06:23] Semiu
    The boss is off on business
    and won't be back for a while.
[06:27] Rudo
    Wait, what?
[06:29] Rudo
    Huh?!
[06:29] Enjin
    Well, that explains that.
[06:31] Enjin
    Fine. This again, huh?
[06:34] Enjin
    Sorry, Rudo! Guess the boss isn't here!
[06:37] Rudo
    I heard! What now?!
[06:39] Enjin
    Any ETA on a return time?
[06:43] Enjin
    You'd think a leader would
    show a little more discipline.
[06:48] Enjin
    Could be a long wait, I guess.
[06:51] Riyo
    In that case,
[06:53] Riyo
    why not come watch me work?
[06:56] Riyo
    You can't officially join the Cleaners
    until the boss is back anyway,
[07:00] Riyo
    so why not tag along as a trainee?
[07:04] Riyo
    Besides...
[07:06] Riyo
    I wanna know more about you.
[07:09] Riyo
    Okay?
[07:12] Semiu
    I'll explain the client's request.
[07:16] Semiu
    A town near the polluted zone is reporting
    small trash beasts approaching their barricade.
[07:21] Semiu
    They want a cleaning just to be safe.
[07:24] Semiu
    That's about it.
[07:25] Rudo
    Polluted zone?
[07:27] Semiu
    Enjin. You didn't tell him about that?
[07:30] Enjin
    I just called it "the dump area"
    to make it easier for him.
[07:35] Semiu
    Rudo, I'll explain
    what this half-wit failed to.
[07:39] Enjin
    Half-wit?
[07:40] Semiu
    The Ground is divided into "safe zones"
    that support human life,
[07:44] Semiu
    and garbage-tainted "polluted zones"
    where trash beasts live.
[07:50] Semiu
    The location you came down in was
    an especially dangerous polluted zone—
[07:55] Semiu
    a No Man's Land.
[07:59] Semiu
    There are six confirmed
    No Man's Lands at present.
[08:02] Semiu
    Most people would die
    almost immediately in one.
[08:06] Semiu
    They're swarming with trash beasts
    that even Givers struggle with.
[08:10] Semiu
    It was a miracle that Enjin came across you.
[08:14] Semiu
    What were you even doing
    in that No Man's Land, anyway?
[08:17] Enjin
    What's wrong with a man stretching his legs?
[08:20] Semiu
    Your legs?
[08:22] Semiu
    Well, anyway, make sure you wear a gas mask
    as much as possible in polluted zones.
[08:29] Semiu
    Breathing in anything toxic
    could make you dangerously ill.
[08:34] Semiu
    In a No Man's Land, you could die
    without a mask in about fifteen minutes.
[08:46] Riyo
    This should be an easy job,
    but I want you watching closely.
[08:52] Riyo
    Okay?
[08:58] Rudo
    Still... it really is a garbage heap, huh?
[09:03] Rudo
    How many minutes was I in there,
    breathing the air?
[09:11] Rudo
    Thinking back, this is how I pictured
    the Pit when I was up in the Sphere...
[09:16] Rudo
    I never even thought there
    might be people living here.
[09:21] Rudo
    Do the people up there not know about this?
[09:25] Rudo
    Or do they know, and send people
    and trash down here anyway?
[09:31] Rudo
    Still...
[09:32] Rudo
    When I really stop and look around,
    this polluted zone looks...
[09:36] Rudo
    Like a total treasure trove!
[09:38] Rudo
    I wanna take it all back to fix up!
[09:45] Rudo
    By the way, I've been wondering.
[09:47] Rudo
    Who're they?
[09:48] Riyo
    They're Cleaners, too.
[09:50] Riyo
    "Supporters."
[09:52] Riyo
    They don't have powers,
[09:54] Riyo
    but they're an important part of the team,
    helping us do what we do.
[10:01] Gris
    Nice to meet you.
[10:03] Rudo
    S-Sure.
[10:05] Rudo
    Nice t—
[10:12] Riyo
    This guy's so awesome!
[10:13] Riyo
    His grip strength is godly!
[10:16] Riyo
    He can smash through
    a trash beast's outer shell!
[10:18] Riyo
    Isn't it great? Coolest guy ever!
[10:21] Rudo
    Not sure if I can keep up with this energy...
[10:21] Riyo
    Sure is nice to have a strong man around!
[10:25] Rudo
    But even if it's an "easy" job,
    I need to make sure I watch and learn.
[10:25] Riyo
    Gris here's always saving our hides!
[10:27] Gris
    I've got you. I train hard for this.
[10:30] Toumu
    Riyo, trash beast sighted.
[10:47] Rudo
    How come there's so many?!
[10:49] Rudo
    Hey, you didn't say we'd
    be fighting a whole herd!
[10:52] Rudo
    You said it'd be "easy"!
[10:54] Riyo
    No problem.
[10:56] Riyo
    These types are slow and not strong at all.
[11:07] Riyo
    See? Can't even dent the barricade.
[11:11] Riyo
    Perfect for you to watch and learn.
[11:14] Riyo
    You're such a lucky guy, Rudo.
[11:16] Rudo
    Wow...
[11:18] Rudo
    True, they seem a lot milder
    than those first trash beasts I saw.
[11:22] Rudo
    So some are stronger than others?
[11:24] Rudo
    They look a lot like animals, too.
[11:37] Rudo
    They're not mild at all!
[11:40] Rudo
    Hey! Hey!
[11:41] Rudo
    Those ones seem way more dangerous!
[11:43] Riyo
    C'mon, it's just fine.
[11:45] Rudo
    It's not fine at all!
[11:47] Rudo
    They're not weak like those others!
[11:49] Rudo
    We should call for reinforcements!
[11:50] Riyo
    They're just a slightly tougher version
    of those small ones.
[11:55] Riyo
    They're a bit stronger, but still
    perfect training for a newbie.
[12:00] Riyo
    Now that we're seeing the big ones,
    I doubt the herd gets any larger.
[12:05] Rudo
    It's plenty large as it is!
[12:08] Riyo
    But if we round them up quick,
    we get to go home early.
[12:12] Riyo
    I know. Let's get back and
    throw you a welcome party!
[12:16] Riyo
    What's your favorite food?
[12:18] Rudo
    I'm not officially in the Cleaners yet...
[12:21] Riyo
    A "Welcome to the Ground" party, then?
[12:24] Rudo
    H-How are you so laid-back?
[12:27] Rudo
    Aren't you risking your life here?
[12:29] Riyo
    Rudo.
[12:31] Riyo
    To be part of the Cleaners...
[12:32] Riyo
    Rather, to survive on the Ground,
[12:35] Riyo
    it's important to keep your cool!
[12:39] Rudo
    Th-That's true!
    Enjin always kept his cool too.
[12:43] Rudo
    Is that what I've been missing?
[12:46] Rudo
    Which means I need to keep cool too!
[13:02] Rudo
    No worries. No worries.
[13:04] Rudo
    Keep cool. Just keep cool.
[13:07] Rudo
    Right?
[13:08] Riyo
    This one's nuts!
[13:10] Riyo
    I've never seen a trash beast so stylish...
[13:13] Riyo
    Not great teaching material...
[13:17] Riyo
    But...
[13:19] Riyo
    A tough opponent sure
    does get my blood racing!
[13:25] Rudo
    No worries.
[13:28] Rudo
    Keep... cool.
SIGN    Gachiakuta
[13:39] Rudo
    Scissors?
[13:42] Riyo
    Before I tidy up the big one,
[13:44] Riyo
    I'd better do a little light dusting.
[14:01] Riyo
    Cleaning time!
[14:08] Rudo
    What just happened? What did she do?!
[14:11] Rudo
    She swung the scissors with her foot?
[14:13] Gris
    Those scissors are Riyo's vital instrument—
[14:16] Gris
    the Ripper!
[14:17] Gris
    Most people use scissors with their hands,
[14:20] Gris
    but Riyo mainly wields them with her feet.
[14:23] Gris
    Ill-mannered though it is.
[14:26] Rudo
    So everyone uses objects their own way?
[14:30] Gris
    By the way, Rudo.
[14:32] Gris
    Don't drop your guard
    just because you're observing.
[14:53] Gris
    Riyo!
[14:56] Riyo
    Gotcha.
[15:03] Riyo
    Send a few more of them my way, 'kay?
[15:05] Gris/Follo
    Yes, ma'am!
[15:14] Rudo
    Without powers, they can't
    defeat the trash beasts,
[15:17] Rudo
    but they can disable them
    and let the Giver strike the final blow.
[15:24] Rudo
    So this is how the Cleaners fight.
[15:26] Rudo
    I'm just lending a hand
    until I get what I'm after!
[15:40] Riyo
    Let's see...
[15:42] Riyo
    Looks pretty spic and span to me!
[15:44] Riyo
    That just leaves...
[15:49] Riyo
    This big mess!
[15:53] Gris
    Riyo's moved on to the big one?
[15:55] Gris
    We'll do what we can
    to take apart the small ones
[15:58] Gris
    and keep them out of the fight.
[16:00] Follo
    Yes, sir!
[16:17] Gris
    Hey! Get out of there!
[16:19] Follo
    Y-You kidding me?!
[16:25] Follo
    Rudo?
[16:25] Rudo
    If I want to get that info,
    I need to join the Cleaners!
[16:32] Rudo
    I won't just be a burden to everyone!
[16:36] Rudo
    I'll be able to do this too!
[16:39] Rudo
    I'll prove it...
[16:52] Rudo
    What's with this shape?
[16:56] Rudo
    Hang on a minute.
[16:58] Rudo
    This... My power...
[17:02] Rudo
    How do I use it again?
[17:24] Riyo
    Instinctively rushing to help someone.
[17:27] Riyo
    Nice work, Rudo.
[17:33] Gris
    Riyo! Rudo!
[17:35] Gris
    Sorry. We got careless.
[17:38] Gris
    Thank you both.
[17:40] Gris
    So, did you clean up the big one?
[17:43] Riyo
    Cut it in two.
[17:46] Riyo
    But that didn't do the trick.
[17:49] Riyo
    I've cut it a few times with my instrument,
    but it just won't go down.
[17:56] Gris
    A trash beast impervious to vital instruments?
[18:00] Riyo
    Pretty weird, right?
[18:02] Riyo
    A trash beast's weak point is usually
    where it is on a living being,
[18:06] Riyo
    so if you cut it in two with an instrument,
    it should be dead meat...
[18:11] Riyo
    Ah, well.
[18:13] Riyo
    It's still a trash beast, so I can probably
    just dice it up until it can't move.
[18:18] Riyo
    Let's do it that way!
[18:19] Gris
    As it's a new type, we'll log and report it.
[18:23] Gris
    We'll warn the surrounding towns as well.
[18:27] Riyo
    Have a good time!
[18:29] Rudo
    What do I...
[18:40] Riyo
    All right...
[18:42] Riyo
    Let's thin out that mop top of yours first!
[18:48] Riyo
    Do you know what style you'd like, sir?
[18:54] Riyo
    What? The full crew cut?!
[18:58] Riyo
    I don't have my clippers,
    so it might take a while!
[19:10] Riyo
    And there you are!
[19:13] Riyo
    Huh? You've got something shining here, sir...
[19:16] Riyo
    Got something to hide?
[19:46] Gris
    It's gonna hit us too!
[19:59] Rudo
    I said I was gonna kick the ass
    of the guy who killed Regto,
[20:02] Rudo
    and all those assholes up in the Sphere...
[20:07] Rudo
    But I can't use my power.
[20:09] Rudo
    I keep being a burden.
[20:11] Rudo
    What am I doing here?
[20:30] Gris
    Get a grip already!
[20:31] Gris
    I don't know what made you freeze up like that,
[20:34] Gris
    but if you've got a goal, run toward it
    while you have a chance to accomplish it!
[20:38] Gris
    Learn from us!
[20:49] Redo
    Yeah, keep screaming!
[20:51] Redo
    The screaming means...
[20:54] Redo
    I've found your weak point!
[21:08] Gris
    Did she... beat it?
[21:15] Gris
    Riyo! You okay?
[21:17] Gris
    How did you beat it?
[21:20] Riyo
    It died when I stabbed through this.
[21:23] Riyo
    I think this is what was powering it.
[21:26] Riyo
    But...
[21:30] Gris
    A vital... instrument?
[21:33] Gris
    What does it mean?
[21:35] Gris
    A vital instrument... in a trash beast?
[21:37] Gris
    What's going on here?
[21:48] Dress Shirt
    Huh?
[21:49] Dress Shirt
    What the heck am I...
[21:51] Dress Shirt
    I think...
[21:53] Dress Shirt
    That Sphereite kid kicked my ass, and then...
[21:59] Dress Shirt
    Who're you?
[22:06] Jabber
    A Sphereite, you say? Where is he now?
