[00:04] All     Now, hang on a second! [00:12] Captain     Asta! [00:13] Asta     Right! Konoha, Kyrgis! Hurry! [00:16] Konoha     Y-Yes, ma'am! [00:17] Kyrgis     Activating now! [00:26] Leshea     You're not going to use your Arise, Fay? [00:28] Fay     It just prevents me from dying. [00:31] Leshea     Ah... [00:32] Fay     Get out of here, Leshea! [00:35] Fay     It's dangerous he— [00:41] Leshea     What? [00:43] Fay     I guess you really are a former god. [00:45] Leshea     This isn't even 100% of my strength. [00:47] Leshea     I can't use all of my god powers. [00:55] Leshea     I guess you can be kinda cute sometimes. [00:58] Leshea     Did you really just get     worried for me just now? SIGN    Gods' Games We Play SIGN    10 minutes earlier SIGN    Hide-and-God-Seek [01:16] Fay     Wait, I didn't even agree to pairing up with you. [01:19] Fay     Huh? [01:20] Fay     Wait, this is Elements, isn't it? [01:23] Fay     It looks just like our city... [01:26] Leshea     It probably holds some     meaning for the god here. [01:29] Leshea     There are plenty of gods I don't know about. [01:32] Leshea     Hey, over there. [01:34] Captain     We don't know what's going to happen... [01:37] Asta     Fay?! [01:38] Asta     What happened? I heard that you     were on a leave of absence. [01:41] Fay     Oh, hey, Asta. [01:43] Fay     It's been a while. Actually, I just     came back and got dragged here. [01:48] Leshea     Pleasure to work with all of you. [01:50] Asta     Th-The dragon god?! [01:51] Captain     L-Lady Leoleshea?! Wh-Wh-Wh-What     are you doing here?! [01:55] Leshea     I'm participating, too. [01:57] Leshea     Don't worry. I'm on the human side. [02:00] Meep     Well, hewwo there! [02:04] Meep     Welcome to my god's Elements! [02:08] Meep     I am the meep that lives within     my master Titan's territory. [02:12] Meep     The time has come so no more participants     will be allowed in this game. [02:16] Captain     Broadcast. [02:18] Vice Captain     Right. [02:29] Miranda     Humanity's mission is to     win ten gods' games... [02:33] Miranda     We're counting on you, Fay. [02:36] Meep     Let's see... It looks like there's     a total of eighteen of you here. [02:40] Meep     Then allow me to introduce this game! [02:43] Captain     The Giant God Titan is     a battle game, isn't it? [02:45] Glasses Girl Apostle     The number of total encounters     with the Giant God Titan [02:48] Glasses Girl Apostle     around the world in the     last thirty years is 23. [02:50] Glasses Girl Apostle     This says the probability of us     winning with these numbers is 14%. [02:55] Captain     Perfect. If this is a battle game, [02:58] Captain     we have Lady Leoleshea, the     dragon god, on our side! [03:00] Meep     My lord Titan says he has     grown tired of battle games. [03:07] Meep     The game you'll be playing is... [03:09] Meep     Hide-and-God-Seek! [03:11] Glasses Girl Apostle     I've never heard of that game... [03:13] Fay     Is that basically like     hide-and-go-seek or tag? [03:17] Fay     We run away from Titan in     the area of these buildings. [03:21] Fay     That's why it's Hide-and-God-Seek     instead of hide-and-go-seek. [03:23] Fay     Right? [03:25] Meep     You are precisely right! [03:27] Meep     You cannot go past the light. [03:30] Meep     You will need to run away from     Lord Titan within the square. [03:35] Fay     If this is going to work     like hide-and-go-seek, [03:37] Fay     does that mean we lose     once everyone's caught? [03:39] Meep     That's one of the conditions to lose, yes. [03:42] Leshea     Hm, I see. So there are more ways to     lose than all of us getting caught. [03:48] Fay     Which means that our conditions to win     probably won't be that simple either. [03:52] Fay     Running away so we can win...     That's probably not enough, right? [03:55] Meep     Correct. Running away in Hide-and-God-Seek     can lead you to victory, [04:01] Meep     but it is possible to lose even     if you manage to run away. [04:03] Meep     That's all for the explanation of the rules! [04:05] Meep     By the way, you get a     300-second head start to run! SIGN    Victory     Condition SIGN    Loss Condition 1     Everyone is caught     by Titan SIGN    Loss Condition 2     ?????     (Losing is still     possible even if     everyone gets     away) [04:19] Captain     Wh-What the? [04:20] Meep     Whoopsie. Looks like Lord     Titan can't wait any longer. [04:24] Meep     I guess you don't get a head start after all! [04:27] All     What?! [04:31] All     Now, hang on a second! SIGN    The present [04:49] Female Apostle     I-It's so fast! [04:50] Apostle A     Captain, this isn't gonna work! [04:52] Apostle A     Even superhuman powers won't help     us win in a game of tag like this! [04:55] Apostle A     Maybe flight magic... [04:57] Apostle A     N-No, even that wouldn't work! [04:59] Captain     Scatter! Split up and hide in     the shadows of the buildings! [05:02] Apostle A     Yes, sir! [05:10] Asta     At this rate, I won't be able to do anything. [05:12] Vice Captain     On the surface, this is a game of tag, [05:14] Vice Captain     but should we be playing     hide-and-seek instead? [05:17] Vice Captain     Why don't we just hide     in one of the buildings? [05:20] Asta     Th-That's it, Vice-Captain! That way,     we can hide without being found. [05:24] Fay     That's a bad play. Don't do it, Asta. [05:27] Asta     Huh? [05:28] Asta     But why? [05:32] Fay     That thing's got a pretty     good idea of where we are. [05:37] Fay     Look out, Asta! [05:40] Vice Captain     Asta! Run towards us! [05:58] Asta     Wait... didn't I get a game over...? [06:05] Asta     N-No! What is this?! [06:10] Asta     H-Huh? A spell's activating on its own? [06:16] Vice Captain     Have you lost your mind, Asta?! [06:18] Asta     N-No! The spells are just     activating on their own! [06:23] Fay     So I guess this is Hide-and-God-Seek. SIGN    Hidden Rule 1     Those incapacitated by     the god's attack will     become the god's subordinate [06:26] Fay     Of course there'd be hidden rules. This is     a battle of wits against a god after all! [06:32] Asta     Vice-Captain, please run! [06:34] Vice Captain     Are you really saying that as you     rapid fire wind magic at us?! [06:44] Vice Captain     C-Crap! [06:56] Apostle B     N-No way! [06:58] Apostle C     We weren't even touched! [07:00] Fay     It's not just based on touch? [07:03] Leshea     We might be in trouble, too. [07:04] Fay     Yeah, let's get away from here! [07:08] Fay     Now, there are four on the god's side. [07:10] Leshea     It's five if you include Titan. SIGN    Humans SIGN    God [07:25] Leshea     He's not coming after us? [07:27] Fay     Is he saving that for later? [07:34] Fay     If he eliminates everyone other than us, [07:36] Fay     it'll make two on the human side     and seventeen on his. [07:38] Fay     He's going to use all that     strength to attack us. [07:41] Leshea     And until then, he's going to have     all of his subordinates attack us. [07:45] Fay     You know, their bottom halves     are still their usual color. [07:48] Fay     It's so unbalanced. [07:50] Asta     Shut up! My body just keeps chasing you! [07:54] Fay     I guess Asta hasn't exactly game overed. [07:57] Leshea     Yeah. If she was out, she'd be     back in the human world, unharmed. [08:02] Fay     There are still hidden rules in this game. [08:05] Fay     I get that they end up     the same color as Titan, [08:08] Fay     but why is it just their upper bodies? [08:25] Asta     Huh?! [08:29] Asta     Hey! What are you doing?! [08:31] Fay     Leshea! [08:32] Leshea     Tag! [08:34] Leshea     Tag complete. [08:36] Fay     Now, she's back on the human side. [08:38] Asta     Huh? [08:44] Asta     Huh? Wha? I'm back to normal? [08:49] Fay     You didn't actually game over. [08:51] Fay     Your lower half didn't     change color after all. [08:54] Sign     Hidden Rule 1     Those incapacitated by the god's     attack will become the god's subordinate [08:54] Sign     Hidden Rule 2      It is possible to     return any of     god's     subordinates     back to the     human side by     tagging them [08:57] Fay     Which means there's a hidden rule to     turn people back to the human side. [09:01] Asta     I-I see! [09:06] Fay     Crap. Guess he's after us again. [09:10] Fay     I guess he can't really leave us alone [09:12] Fay     now that we figured out     how to turn people back. [09:14] Fay     Asta, go hide! [09:15] Asta     Got it! [09:21] Leshea     I think he's happy that you     actually understood his game. [09:34] Leshea     We just keep running, but     what do we need to do to win? [09:38] Fay     Come to think of it, Meep did mention [09:40] Fay     that we could still lose     even if we keep running. [09:43] Fay     I guess it's part of the game to     figure out the condition to win. [09:43] Sign     Loss Condition 1     Everyone is caught     by Titan [09:43] Sign     Loss Condition 2     ?????     (Losing is still      possible even if      everyone gets     away) SIGN    Victory Condition [09:46] Leshea     Defeating Titan would just make this a     battle game, so that's probably not it. [09:51] Fay     Maybe if we can run away for a     certain amount of time, we win? [09:54] Leshea     That's possible, but we've     got nothing to prove that. [09:57] Fay     They never said how long we     need to keep running either. [10:00] Fay     In that case... [10:06] Leshea     It's just as I thought. [10:08] Fay     What is? [10:09] Leshea     We totally get each other. [10:11] Leshea     You know exactly what I want     to say, but more importantly, [10:14] Leshea     you're playing this game for real. [10:17] Fay     Huh? Of course, I am. This game     is as thrilling as it gets. [10:24] Leshea     Well, that's what makes us gods happy. [10:26] Leshea     I am a former god myself, after all. [10:28] Leshea     When there's a human who plays     the gods' games seriously... [10:33] Leshea     it makes the game that much fun! SIGN    Games are meant to be fun [10:48] Fay     Though it really sucks when you     lose, so I definitely want to win. [10:52] Leshea     But of course. [10:54] Fay     What is our victory condition? [10:56] Fay     There must've been a hint somewhere. [11:08] Captain     I'm sorry... He got all of us. [11:11] Fay     Yeah, we can see that... [11:14] Captain     But you mustn't give up! [11:16] Captain     Even if it's just the two of you,     you need to keep running! [11:21] Fay     Then please let us go! [11:23] Captain     My legs have a mind of their own! [11:29] Fay     This way! SIGN    Humans SIGN    God [11:38] Leshea     Hiyah! [11:43] Leshea     This is only going to buy     us a few dozen seconds. [11:46] Fay     Probably. Let's hurry! [11:53] Fay     I guess this is why the hidden rule about [11:56] Fay     getting tagged by him exists: [11:57] Fay     humans would be able to pursue us. [12:00] Fay     On top of that... [12:03] Fay     Titan's here, too. [12:05] Leshea     At this rate, we're trapped like rats. [12:07] Fay     It's already enough of a     hassle to keep running, [12:09] Fay     but we still have to figure     out our victory condition. [12:11] Leshea     It'd be nice to have more people on our side. [12:14] Leshea     That Asta girl is hiding, too. [12:16] Leshea     Everyone other than us is pretty much out. [12:19] Leshea     They all flipped over to Titan's side. [12:22] Fay     I see. [12:24] Leshea     What is it? [12:25] Fay     That's it, Leshea! They flipped! [12:28] Leshea     Flipped? [12:29] Fay     I figured it all out. [12:31] Fay     There's actually a third     game in Hide-and-God-Seek. SIGN    Gods' Games We Play [12:40] Fay     This Hide-and-God-Seek     is a combination of tag, [12:43] Fay     hide-and-go-seek,     and one other game. [12:46] Leshea     Flipped... Third... I get it. [12:51] Leshea     That explains why there are two     lose conditions, as well. [12:54] Fay     Okay, let's split up. [13:02] Leshea     I'll take eight. [13:04] Fay     No. We can split them     in half. Seven per. [13:06] Leshea     You're right. I'll lead them outside. [13:09] Fay     And I'll go up. [13:28] Fay     Damn that Titan... [13:30] Fay     He's destroying all the other     buildings, one after another, [13:32] Fay     and then he's going to destroy this     department store and it'll be checkmate. [13:36] Fay     Please let us make it in     time... Both Leshea and I! [13:50] Fay     He used the apostles that are now his     subordinates to lead me up to the roof... [13:58] Fay     Then he was planning to     finish me off himself. [14:09] Captain     He's doomed... SIGN    Humans SIGN    God [14:28] Fay     Now that all the buildings have been     destroyed, the game's over, right? [14:33] Fay     According to the Hide-and-God-Seek     rules, I'm not incapacitated, [14:37] Fay     so I won't become your subordinate. [14:41] Fay     The ultimate self-regeneration that     nullifies any kind of meddling [14:44] Fay     and restores me to how I was. [14:47] Fay     My Arise is called... [14:49] Fay     "May Your God." [14:51] Fay     I'm sure you think you've won     even if I'm back since it's now SIGN    Humans SIGN    God [14:55] Fay     humans 3 versus 16 on     your side, don't you? [14:57] Fay     But it's the opposite. [14:58] Fay     We're the ones who're going to meet     the victory conditions, Titan. [15:03] Fay     Now, it's time to check our answers. [15:05] Fay     The game that was hidden in this game of     Hide-and-God-seek until the end was... [15:09] Fay     Reversi! [15:10] Fay     Though we thought we were playing tag, this     whole city is actually the game board. [15:15] Fay     The god chases after the humans who run away. [15:18] Fay     Subordinates of the god are created     and the remaining humans save them. [15:22] Fay     This clearly means that the god got to     go first and the humans play second. [15:26] Fay     And once the humans touch     the affected humans, [15:28] Fay     their upper halves flip back     to their original color. [15:31] Fay     This was the ultimate hint. [15:33] Fay     Each side was taking a turn.     Touching someone would "flip" them. [15:38] Fay     The game that matches these rules is Reversi! [15:41] Leshea     Your meep is quite efficient. [15:44] Leshea     To think that the explanation     of the rules would be a hint... [15:48] Leshea     The fact that this game is     played within a square field. [15:52] Fay     Reversi is over once the     whole board is one color. [15:56] Fay     In the case of Hide-and-God-Seek, [15:57] Fay     it's when all the buildings have been     destroyed and we can't play anymore. [16:00] Leshea     All that's left is to see who has more     in the end to win. The god or human side? [16:05] Fay     We had a single ray of     hope to win this match... [16:09] Fay     and that's a chain! [16:11] Fay     When Asta and the vice-captain     were touched by the Titan, [16:15] Fay     the two next to them also changed color. [16:18] Fay     The reason Asta slammed     them against the wall [16:22] Fay     was to get them all lined up in     a row between her and the god. [16:26] Fay     That's why the two in between were     also flipped over to the god side. [16:29] Fay     And my goal was to distract you! [16:33] Leshea     We're going to be using     that exact same method. [16:37] Fay     Asta! [16:38] Asta     Dang it, Fay! You need to treat     those older than you with respect! [16:46] Fay     Leshea! [16:53] Fay     And now we flip... everything over! SIGN    Hidden Rule 1     Those incapacitated by     the god's attack will     become the god's     subordinate SIGN    Hidden Rule 2      It is possible     to return any     of the god's     subordinates     back to the     human side by     tagging them SIGN    Hidden Rule 3     When rules 1     or 2 are     carried out,     a chain will     occur if the     enemy's     pawns are     sandwiched [17:03] Fay     The seven in between Leshea and Asta [17:06] Fay     formed a chain and flipped     back to the human side. SIGN    Humans SIGN    God [17:09] Fay     All the buildings have been     destroyed so the game is over. [17:12] Fay     With 10 on the human side and     9 on the god side, we win. [17:16] Fay     Any objections? [17:34] Titan     No. SIGN    VS "The Sage of the Earth" Titan SIGN    Hide-and-God-Seek SIGN    After playing for     3 hours and 31 minutes SIGN    Victory SIGN    Victory Condition      Once the game is over,     there are more     white (human) pieces     than black (god) pieces SIGN    Loss Condition     1     Everyone is     caught by     Titan SIGN    Loss Condition     2      Once the game     is over, there     are more     black (god)     pieces than     white (human)     pieces SIGN    Hidden Rule 1     Those incapacitated by     the god's attack will     become the god's     subordinate SIGN    Hidden Rule 2      It is possible     to return any     of the god's     subordinates     back to the     human side by     tagging them SIGN    Hidden Rule 3     When rules 1     or 2 are     carried out,     a chain will     occur if the     enemy's     pawns are     sandwiched [17:56] Miranda     It's been 35 days since     humanity has had a victory. [17:59] Miranda     Yesterday's match had incredible     ratings all around the world. [18:02] Miranda     It was over 70% in this city alone. [18:06] Fay     That much? [18:07] Miranda     This will help us out a lot. [18:09] Miranda     We need to have the apostles     we nurture with these earnings [18:13] Miranda     do their best and win the gods' games. [18:17] Miranda     So... [18:18] Miranda     How was it teaming up     with Lady Leoleshea? [18:21] Fay     How was it? [18:22] Miranda     You were totally in sync. [18:24] Miranda     It's hard to think you two     were a last-minute pair. [18:28] Miranda     What are your thoughts? [18:29] Fay     Honestly, it's pretty amazing. [18:32] Fay     All I need to do is glance at     her and she totally gets me. [18:35] Fay     I guess that's what you     get with a former god. [18:37] Miranda     Probably, yes. [18:40] Miranda     But it's not because she's a former god. [18:42] Miranda     I believe you were able to pull it     off because you and Lady Leoleshea [18:46] Miranda     worked together. [18:50] Miranda     You see, Lady Leoleshea... [18:51] Miranda     was playing all by herself     while you were gone. [18:55] Fay     By herself? [18:56] Miranda     She's so powerful, no one     stood a chance against her. [18:59] Miranda     Even with cards, Go, and roulette... [19:03] Fay     By herself, huh... [19:10] Miranda     I think you two will be a great team. [19:12] Miranda     Now you're one step closer to     completely Clearing the gods' games, [19:16] Miranda     just like you want. [19:18] Fay     I'll do my very best. [19:26] Fay     That's why I came back after all. [19:31] Fay     Leshea, can I come in? [19:34] Leshea     Sure. [19:41] Leshea     This part here... We ran     into the department store, [19:44] Leshea     but I think we could've turned left     and ran into the arcade's alley here. [19:49] Fay     Are you reflecting on your actions? [19:51] Leshea     Well, I guess that's enough for now.     I've already watched this four times. [19:55] Fay     That's a bit much! [19:56] Leshea     Hey, what's your wish anyway, Fay? [20:00] Leshea     You know. The reward you get after     winning ten times against the gods. [20:03] Leshea     My wish is to go back to being a god. [20:10] Fay     I do have a wish. [20:11] Leshea     Ooh, tell me! [20:14] Fay     There's someone I'm looking for. [20:16] Leshea     Who is it? [20:17] Fay     The person I played games     with all the time as a child. [20:22] Fay     I never found out her name, so     I always just called her "Sis." [20:26] Fay     She taught me everything about games. [20:28] Fay     I was young, so I never won     no matter how many times we played. [20:31] Fay     I'd challenge her day and night... and     she always greeted me with a smile. [20:37] Fay     But one day, she suddenly disappeared... [20:41] Fay     Just leaving behind the     promise of us meeting again. [20:44] (Flashback) Young Fay     Sis! [20:50] Leshea     How strange. [20:51] Fay     I guess you can call her my mentor. [20:53] Fay     I want to see her again     so I can tell her thanks. [20:56] Fay     The reason I'm here right now     is undoubtedly because of her. [21:00] Leshea     Huh... [21:01] Fay     I only have one wish. [21:03] Fay     "Please find this person     I used to play with." [21:07] Leshea     That's an interesting wish. [21:10] Leshea     But, Fay... You have no     clues about her? [21:14] Leshea     All I know is she loves games. [21:16] Fay     I don't know her name, and I only     vaguely remember her voice and face. [21:20] Fay     The one thing I remember for sure... [21:23] Fay     is the fact that she had vermillion-colored     hair, just like you. [21:29] Fay     I was wondering if you and     Sis were somehow connected... [21:39] Leshea     I was stuck inside a glacier     for 3,000 years. [21:45] Fay     Right. [21:47] Leshea     But I hope your wish comes true. [21:51] Leshea     I guess we've got ourselves a team. [21:54] Fay     It might be fate that I met Leshea,     who looks so much like Sis. [21:58] Fay     Yeah, let's do this. [22:01] Fay     I promise that I'm going     to give this my all. [22:04] Fay     Let's Clear the gods' games!
