**[00:01] T**
*If this is a dream, I want to wake up.*
**[00:07] T**
*Where am I?*
**[00:13] T**
*Was I always able to fight like this?*
**[00:18] T**
* I spent all my time sitting in the corner of*
* the classroom, fixing and making machines.*
**[00:22] T**
*That was my life.*
**[00:25] T**
* Now I'm surrounded by a sea of*
* flames and a rain of rubble,*
**[00:29] T**
*running through clouds of dust.*
**[00:34] T**
*I'm scared.*
**[00:35] T**
*I don't want to get hurt.*
**[00:38] T**
*I just want to spend my afternoons alone,*
**[00:41] T**
*fixing old watches and things like that.*
**[00:46] T**
*But strangely, when I'm in this world,*
**[00:48] T**
*I feel like I have to fight.*
**[00:53] T**
*At some point I knew this place,*
**[00:55] T**
*and at some point I started fighting.*
**[00:57] T**
*At some point, I was here.*
**[00:59] T**
*What is this?*
**[01:02] T**
*What is this power?*
**[01:04] T**
*What is this world?*
**[01:06] T**
*What is a Hand Shaker?*
**[02:56] B**
Damn it!
**[02:58] B**
Why weren't you able to finish them?
**[03:10] B**
More!
**[03:11] B**
More! Give me more!
**[03:16] Bi**
Okay...
**[03:23] B**
Don't screw with me, you wimp!
**[03:27] B**
I should've been able to finish you!
**[03:29] B**
There's no way you could win!
**[03:36] B**
Is that your Nimrod?
**[03:39] B**
Don't make me laugh!
**[03:40] B**
People like you who just run piss me off!
**[03:46] B**
Get lost!
**[03:57] B**
What?
**[04:04] B**
Do you think you're a Hand Shaker?
**[04:07] B**
Just let me hunt you!
**[04:13] Gi**
Mari!
**[04:15] Gi**
Oh, there you are. Sorry.
**[04:17] Gu**
So we want guys like that in our club...
**[04:20] Gi**
What was the answer to the
first question on the quiz?
**[04:23] Gi**
Alexandria?
**[04:25] Gi**
Oh, right!
**[04:35] R**
You're back?
**[04:38] R**
Tazuna-kun.
**[04:41] T**
President Houjou...
**[04:44] R**
I told you, you can just call me Lily.
**[04:46] R**
We're in the same grade.
**[04:48] T**
Sorry.
**[04:50] T**
Okay, President Lily.
**[04:52] R**
You were getting into it again, weren't you?
**[05:02] R**
Once you start concentrating,
**[05:05] R**
you won't come back just
because somebody talks to you.
**[05:08] R**
I was going to play some
kind of prank on you.
**[05:10] T**
I know it's a bad habit.
**[05:14] T**
Here you go.
**[05:18] R**
You're done already?
**[05:21] T**
Yeah.
**[05:29] Gu**
It's worth answering.
**[05:32] ---**
Come with me!
**[05:33] Gu**
He'll send me a message later.
**[05:41] R**
Yeah, it's fixed!
**[05:43] R**
Tazuna-kun, thank you!
**[05:48] T**
President Lily, you're so close...
**[05:52] R**
I'm sorry.
**[05:56] Gu**
Love, huh?
**[05:57] T**
No!
**[06:00] R**
People always tell me I get too close.
**[06:04] R**
Maybe it's because I have a little brother.
**[06:08] R**
You're always so amazing though, Tazuna-kun.
**[06:11] Gu**
It wasn't love, huh?
**[06:13] T**
It was a problem with the
connection on the charger unit.
**[06:16] T**
It was easy to fix.
**[06:18] T**
Anybody in the mechanical
section could do it.
**[06:20] Gu**
No, your craziness for machines is amazing.
**[06:23] Gu**
I'll hit you up next time
I need something fixed.
**[06:26] T**
But...
**[06:28] T**
If you can't do this...
**[06:30] R**
You're really amazing!
**[06:33] T**
You're the student council
president, President Hou—
**[06:36] T**
I mean, President Lily,
you're a lot more amazing.
**[06:41] R**
Were you so focused you forgot to eat lunch?
**[06:46] T**
And I didn't bring a lunchbox today, either.
**[06:48] R**
When did you start?
**[06:52] T**
First period.
**[06:56] T**
I'm hungry.
**[06:58] R**
I'm sure something good will happen.
**[07:08] R**
Here.
**[07:10] R**
The reverse Tower...
**[07:12] R**
A sudden, unexpected accident.
**[07:19] T**
That's okay, but...
**[07:22] R**
How about I buy you a slice of
cake or something after school,
**[07:25] R**
as thanks for doing the repair?
**[07:27] T**
Sorry.
**[07:29] T**
I have another job to do for
a professor at the university.
**[07:34] R**
Sorry...
**[07:35] T**
I'm doing it because I like it.
**[07:37] R**
A lot of people ask you for things, right?
**[07:39] R**
My vice-president said you helped them
a lot fixing the air conditioner.
**[07:44] T**
It's good practice for me,
**[07:47] T**
and I get paid for the parts.
**[07:49] T**
It meshes!
**[07:53] R**
I'm really sorry.
**[07:55] T**
It's okay.
**[07:57] T**
I'll be tight on time for
the repair after school,
**[08:00] T**
so I won't be stopping anywhere
to fix anything else.
**[08:03] Gi**
Right, sorry!
**[08:05] Gi**
So cool!
**[08:10] T**
*Makihara-sensei, huh?*
**[08:12] T**
*Never met him before.*
**[08:14] T**
*I don't really go over to the university.*
**[08:31] T**
Okay.
**[08:33] T**
I'm done!
**[08:37] Gu**
Thanks!
**[08:40] Gu**
You really helped me out!
**[08:42] Gu**
If you hadn't passed by I don't
know what I would've done.
**[08:47] T**
Not at all.
**[08:49] T**
I glad it all meshed after just a little tuning.
**[08:53] Gu**
I have some work to do,
**[08:56] Gu**
so if I can pay you back later...
**[08:59] T**
Aww, you don't need to do that.
**[09:03] Gu**
*I need to avoid stopping to fix things.*
**[09:06] T**
Sorry, I forgot I was in a hurry!
**[09:11] Gu**
Are you okay?
**[09:13] Gu**
I'm sorry, it's my fault for being clumsy!
**[09:18] T**
I'm not okay...
**[09:22] Gu**
That's a nice bike.
**[09:24] T**
I like it.
**[09:26] T**
Okay, bye!
**[09:27] ---**
Oh, right.
**[09:29] T**
Really, thanks!
**[09:32] Gi**
Thanks, young man!
**[09:34] Passerbye**
And so the one I saw a while
ago was really good...
***SIGN*** Makihara Labs
***SIGN*** It's Makihara!
**[09:40] T**
Um, I'm Takatsuki Tazuna,
**[09:43] T**
I was asked to fix something here.
**[09:45] T**
Sorry I'm late.
**[09:48] T**
Makihara-sensei?
**[09:53] T**
Sensei?
**[09:54] T**
Makihara-sensei?
**[09:56] T**
I'm coming in...
**[09:58] T**
Did they go somewhere?
**[10:01] T**
I hope they're not mad.
**[10:03] T**
I need to fix that habit I have
of unconsciously fixing things
**[10:07] T**
when I start focusing...
**[10:15] T**
This room's got an electronic lock?
**[10:17] T**
Is there something inside?
**[10:22] T**
A hospital room?
**[11:44] T**
Musubu?
**[11:47] T**
*No...*
**[11:54] (Flashback) Gi**
Brother...
**[11:57] (Flashback) Gi**
Don't let go of my hand...
**[12:32] Gu**
You who received the Revelation of Babel.
**[12:36] T**
Wh-Who's there?
**[12:39] Gu**
You who will overcome many
battles and trials...
**[12:47] Gu**
You who received the Revelation.
**[12:50] Gu**
You who would challenge me.
**[12:54] Gu**
Yes, you, the Hand Shaker...
**[13:14] T**
What was that?
**[13:21] Gu**
I finally found you!
**[13:24] Gu**
I found you!
**[13:28] Gu**
Koyori-kun's partner!
**[13:30] Gu**
Welcome Hand Shaker!
**[13:34] T**
Hand...?
**[13:36] Gu**
The Revelation of Babel!
**[13:38] Gu**
You received it, right?
**[13:39] Gu**
That makes you—
**[13:42] T**
A-Are you okay?
**[13:46] Gu**
Of course I am.
**[13:48] T**
This isn't meshing.
**[13:50] T**
Are you Makihara-sensei?
**[13:53] Gu**
It doesn't matter if I'm Makihara!
**[13:57] T**
Um...
**[14:00] T**
Sorry for just barging in.
**[14:05] T**
Um, what's a Hand Shaker?
**[14:08] Gu**
You'll know if you go!
**[14:10] T**
G-Go where?
**[14:11] Gu**
To the Ziggurat!
**[14:13] T**
Where is that?
**[14:17] Gu**
No.
**[14:18] Gu**
You mustn't let go.
**[14:20] Gu**
Please don't let go.
**[14:24] Gu**
Koyori-kun has awoken.
**[14:26] Gu**
And now that she has,
**[14:27] Gu**
if you let get of her hand,
**[14:29] Gu**
she will die.
**[14:32] T**
Die?
**[14:43] T**
Huh? Makihara-sensei?
**[14:48] T**
What?
**[15:04] T**
Let's run!
**[15:06] T**
That was close.
**[15:09] T**
You can't stand?
**[15:11] T**
Hang on tight!
**[15:13] T**
**[15:14] T**
Let's go!
**[15:15] T**
Damn it!
**[15:16] T**
What is going on here?
**[15:19] T**
This is crazy!
**[15:20] T**
We need to get somewhere...
**[15:22] T**
But where can we run?
**[15:28] T**
My body feels so light!
**[15:30] T**
I can move so fast!
**[15:34] T**
Damn it, this way!
**[15:43] T**
We just need to get outside,
some place with a lot of space.
**[15:45] T**
The courtyard?
**[15:52] T**
If we get somewhere with a lot of space,
**[15:55] T**
we can escape the concentrated attacks!
**[16:05] T**
Koyori!
**[16:06] B**
What? You escaped?
**[16:10] B**
Now, let's do it.
**[16:17] T**
Did you do this?
**[16:19] B**
Of course!
**[16:21] B**
Break Chain! Bind Chain!
**[16:24] B**
That's us!
**[16:27] T**
What do you mean?
**[16:32] T**
Nobody's here?
**[16:36] T**
Do you know anything?
**[16:37] T**
What's going on?
**[16:39] B**
Huh?
**[16:41] B**
I see! I see!
**[16:45] B**
You don't have a Nimrod.
**[16:46] B**
You don't know what the Ziggurat is.
**[16:48] B**
So that's it.
**[16:50] T**
Nimrod?
**[16:51] T**
Ziggurat?
**[16:54] T**
Where's Makihara-sensei?
**[16:56] B**
In other words,
**[16:57] B**
you don't know anything.
**[16:59] B**
And you're just prey to be hunted.
**[17:11] T**
Are you okay?
**[17:16] B**
Now, let's play.
**[17:18] B**
Do it, Bind!
**[17:22] T**
Damn it.
**[17:24] B**
Just keep running.
**[17:26] B**
Entertain me.
**[17:27] T**
Being someplace wide-open
doesn't change anything?
**[17:30] T**
Someplace with even more space...?
**[17:31] T**
The sports ground?
**[17:32] T**
Damn it, that's the other way!
**[17:34] T**
If I had a shield that could block these
chains or something, I could escape...
**[17:40] T**
Damn it!
**[17:41] T**
Where can I go?
**[17:42] T**
What do I do?
**[17:57] T**
Run. He's crazy!
**[18:00] B**
Crazy?
**[18:02] B**
Idiot. This is what Hand Shakers do!
**[18:08] T**
Damn it!
**[18:10] B**
What? Are you done running?
**[18:14] B**
I hoped you would entertain
me a little more...
**[18:19] B**
Fine. Then I'll hunt you.
**[18:23] B**
Do it!
**[18:27] B**
Right!
**[18:31] T**
Koyori?
**[18:40] T**
Stop it!
**[18:42] T**
Stop!
**[18:44] T**
Don't... Don't let go!
**[18:49] (Flashback) Gi**
Brother... don't let go of my hand!
**[18:57] T**
I said I wouldn't let go!
**[19:01] Gu**
You who received the Revelation of Babel.
**[19:05] B**
*What?*
**[19:08] B**
*Stars?*
**[19:11] B**
*No...*
**[19:17] B**
*Gears?*
**[19:19] B**
*How many of them are there?*
**[19:22] B**
*It's like a planetarium.*
**[19:25] B**
*They can sense my feelings?*
**[19:27] Gu**
You who received the Revelation of Babel.
**[19:29] T**
*They're trying to protect me and Koyori.*
**[19:31] Gu**
You who would challenge me...
**[19:33] T**
*What is this?*
**[19:35] Gu**
You are a Hand Shaker.
**[19:39] T**
Which means...
**[19:42] ---**
they're just like his chains?
**[19:48] T**
You summoned your Nimrod, huh?
**[19:52] T**
Well, fine.
**[19:53] T**
We, Break and Bind, will
crush your children's toys!
**[20:00] T**
Come on, what's wrong, Bind?
**[20:03] T**
More! More!
**[20:05] T**
You can do it, right?
**[20:18] T**
Damn it!
**[20:21] T**
More! More!
**[20:23] T**
Give me more!
**[20:27] B**
Okay...
**[20:30] Gu**
Hey, Bind.
**[20:32] Gu**
Cry in a nice voice.
**[20:35] Gu**
Use your chains to finish
them for real this time.
**[20:38] Gu**
Understood?
**[20:38] ---**
Yes...
**[20:40] Gu**
Go!
**[20:40] Bi**
I'm going!
**[20:41] Bi**
Break!
**[20:50] B**
Don't screw with me, you wimp!
**[20:53] B**
I should've been able to finish you!
**[20:55] B**
There's no way you could win!
**[21:07] B**
Do you think you're a Hand Shaker?
**[21:10] B**
Just let me hunt you!
**[21:15] B**
Is that your Nimrod?
**[21:18] B**
Don't make me laugh!
**[21:19] B**
People like you who just run piss me off!
**[21:39] T**
If I can fight with this...
**[21:42] T**
They're meshing!
**[21:52] T**
If I can defeat him...
**[22:13] ---**
Let's go.
**[22:14] ---**
**[22:19] B**
So now it's your turn, huh?
**[22:22] B**
Fine.
**[22:23] B**
Try it!
**[22:26] T**
*Wow!*
**[22:28] T**
*I'm scared, but I'm not scared!*
**[22:30] T**
*I can fight!*
**[22:32] T**
*I'm not scared...*
**[22:34] T**
*I can fight...*
**[22:36] T**
*Is it because I'm with Koyori?*
**[22:41] B**
Screw you!
**[22:49] B**
I won't lose anymore!
**[22:59] Bi**
No!
**[23:10] Bi**
*Thus, the two of them met,*
**[23:12] Bi**
*and the gears of fate began to turn.*
**[23:15] Bi**
* The boy is running on the*
* rails and can't go back,*
**[23:18] Bi**
*and the girl is welcomed into a warm place.*
**[23:21] Bi**
* Makihara speaks of the power created*
* by the two of them joining hand in hand,*
**[23:25] Bi**
*and the meaning of their battle.*
**[23:27] Bi**
*Can you swear to protect innocent life?*
**[23:31] ---**
*Next time on Hand Shakers: Episode Two,*
**[23:33] ---**
*Lead by Red.*
**[23:35] ---**
*What will Tazuna see where the drops fall?*

**[00:02] God**
You who received the Revelation of Babel.
**[00:07] God**
You who will overcome many
battles and trials...
**[00:15] God**
You who received the Revelation.
**[00:20] God**
You, unleashed from your prison,
**[00:25] God**
you who were stolen...
**[00:29] God**
Burning with a fervent desire...
**[00:35] God**
You who would challenge me.
**[00:41] God**
Yes, you, the Hand Shaker...
**[00:47] T**
*What the voice said was true.*
**[00:50] T**
*Strangely, I was sure of it.*
**[02:39] T**
*Why?*
**[02:41] T**
*Why do I have to do this?*
**[02:45] M**
Tazuna-kun, if you let go of her hand,
**[02:49] M**
Koyori-kun will...
**[02:51] T**
I don't understand.
**[02:52] T**
No,
**[02:54] ---**
even if I did understand, Makihara-sensei...
**[02:58] T**
But I don't understand!
**[03:00] M**
You must challenge it anyway!
**[03:02] T**
No! I don't want to!
**[03:06] M**
Tazuna-kun!
**[03:17] M**
If you don't hurry, she'll pee right there.
**[03:19] T**
What is a Hand Shaker?
**[03:26] T**
Thank you.
**[03:28] M**
None for you yet, Koyori-kun.
**[03:30] M**
You've been asleep for a long time,
**[03:33] M**
so we need to get you used
to it little by little.
**[03:35] M**
I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
**[03:40] T**
Yeah.
**[03:41] M**
First, let me give you some good news.
**[03:44] M**
The Hand Shakers you defeated...
**[03:47] B**
Rei-kun! Rei-kun! Rei-kun!
**[03:50] M**
They're fine.
**[03:52] M**
I had them sent to the university hospital.
**[03:56] M**
Wounds received in the
Ziggurat don't last long.
**[04:00] T**
The Ziggurat is that world with no one in it?
**[04:05] M**
That's right.
**[04:06] M**
Indeed!
**[04:07] T**
And I have to fight?
**[04:10] T**
With guys like that?
**[04:12] T**
Why?
**[04:13] M**
You heard the Revelation of Babel, right?
**[04:17] M**
So you should know what you must do.
**[04:19] M**
You were chosen, and your
wish drives your will to fight
**[04:21] M**
so you can meet God.
**[04:23] M**
That's a Hand Shaker.
**[04:27] T**
I don't want that!
**[04:38] M**
I don't know if the voice
you heard was actually God.
**[04:42] M**
Maybe it's a demon pretending to be God.
**[04:44] M**
Or perhaps it is power without will,
**[04:47] M**
created by the collective subconscious
in its desire to meet God.
**[04:49] T**
You don't know?
**[04:51] M**
We don't know.
**[04:53] M**
And so finding that out is my job!
**[04:56] M**
The Ziggurat, the Nimrods,
the Revelation of Babel,
**[05:00] M**
God, the Hand Shakers...
**[05:01] M**
I will be the one to explain them all!
**[05:04] M**
Me, Makihara Nagamasa!
**[05:06] M**
By the way, I'm an assistant professor.
**[05:08] M**
I may not be a Hand Shaker,
**[05:11] M**
but couldn't you say this is my battle?
**[05:14] M**
You sure you could!
**[05:20] M**
Ahem.
**[05:21] M**
Sometimes people tell me I'm annoying.
**[05:24] M**
But I think I'm just too cautious.
**[05:27] T**
That's a very optimistic interpretation...
**[05:31] M**
That's it!
**[05:32] M**
Optimistic! Positive!
**[05:34] M**
That's my philosophy in life.
**[05:36] M**
I love the belief that human
nature is fundamentally good.
**[05:41] M**
Why not try a shumai?
**[05:45] M**
So basically, by holding each
other's hands, you can gain power,
**[05:49] M**
a weapon called a Nimrod, and
superhuman physical abilities.
**[05:53] M**
And then you fight in a parallel
world called the Ziggurat.
**[05:56] M**
That's a Hand Shaker.
**[06:00] M**
There are only a few of
them among the whole of humanity.
**[06:02] M**
They find each other and fight.
**[06:05] M**
And, someday, the one who wins will meet God
**[06:08] M**
and have their wish granted, or so it's said.
**[06:10] M**
No one knows when this fight started,
**[06:12] M**
or who grants the wish.
**[06:17] M**
That's the phenomenon I research.
**[06:20] T**
I don't want that.
**[06:21] T**
I don't want to fight.
**[06:22] M**
But whether you like it or not,
**[06:25] ---**
the other Hand Shakers will come after you.
**[06:30] T**
Those Hand Shakers,
**[06:32] ---**
the two with the chains...
They lost their power, right?
**[06:35] M**
Seems like you do understand a little.
**[06:38] M**
Fatal wounds in the Ziggurat
induce a form of pseudo-death
**[06:42] M**
and you end your life as a Hand Shaker.
**[06:46] M**
That's my interpretation.
**[06:48] M**
The fact is that if one is defeated,
**[06:50] M**
the pair loses their Nimrod
**[06:51] M**
and can no longer enter the Ziggurat.
**[06:54] T**
Then I'm just going to lose.
**[06:57] T**
If you really don't die, I don't care.
**[06:59] M**
It's true that you won't die,
**[07:02] M**
Takatsuki Tazuna-kun.
**[07:05] M**
You won't die.
**[07:13] M**
I'm sure you sensed this,
but Hand Shakers have to use their power
**[07:17] M**
just to maintain their
bodies inside the Ziggurat.
**[07:20] M**
And where does that power come from?
**[07:23] M**
Holding hands.
**[07:26] M**
I call it a charge.
**[07:29] M**
That's what lets a Hand
Shaker create their Nimrod
**[07:32] ---**
and stay in the Ziggurat.
**[07:35] M**
That also means that if you don't
charge for long periods of time,
**[07:38] M**
you won't be able to stay in the Ziggurat.
**[07:41] M**
Well, if both enemies and
allies lose their power,
**[07:44] M**
they both get bounced out.
**[07:47] M**
Normally.
**[07:50] T**
You don't mean...
**[07:52] T**
Koyori is different?
**[07:57] M**
That's right,
**[07:58] M**
Takatsuki Tazuna-kun.
**[08:00] M**
I told you, if you let go
of her hand, she'll die.
**[08:04] M**
Of course, she won't die immediately.
**[08:07] M**
But someday she surely will.
**[08:11] M**
If you want to be positive about
it, Koyori-kun is a special girl.
**[08:15] M**
For her, this world is the
same as the Ziggurat.
**[08:20] M**
Just being here drains her of
her power and her existence.
**[08:26] T**
If she doesn't charge,
**[08:27] T**
if she loses her power,
**[08:29] T**
she'll disappear from this world?
**[08:33] M**
You're her partner, so you can tell, right?
**[08:36] M**
That what I'm saying is the truth?
**[08:39] T**
Why?
**[08:40] M**
Finding that out is part of my job, as well.
**[08:44] M**
In order to keep Koyori-kun alive,
**[08:47] M**
I decided to put her to sleep
until she found a partner.
**[08:51] M**
I hoped that while she was
asleep we might find a cure.
**[08:57] M**
But you came!
**[08:58] M**
You being here saved Koyori-kun from
**[09:03] ---**
slowly and surely wasting away!
**[09:08] T**
But...
**[09:09] T**
Why me?
**[09:11] M**
My job's to find that out, too.
**[09:15] T**
You have a lot of jobs, don't you?
**[09:20] T**
But what do I do?
**[09:24] M**
In other words...
**[09:27] M**
You and Koyori-kun can live together
**[09:29] M**
and hold hands.
**[09:35] T**
I can't do that!
**[09:37] M**
Why?
**[09:39] M**
Puberty?
**[09:40] M**
I understand!
**[09:41] T**
Not meshing!
**[09:48] T**
I have a family.
**[09:55] T**
I'm worried about you, not them.
**[09:58] T**
Your life's on the line,
**[10:00] T**
and I want to help you.
**[10:01] T**
But...
**[10:02] M**
Tazuna-kun.
**[10:04] M**
I'll take care of any
problems with your parents.
**[10:06] M**
We grown-ups can do things like that.
**[10:10] M**
And that's our job.
**[10:14] T**
Makihara-sensei.
***SIGN*** Koyori-chan
**[10:19] All**
Welcome, Koyori-chan!
**[10:19] All**
Welcome, Koyori-kun!
**[10:21] Gi**
Don't girls look cute
in their uniforms, honey?
**[10:24] Gu**
They sure do, honey!
**[10:29] T**
Is it okay for it to be this easy?
**[10:32] T**
How?
**[10:33] Gu**
What are you talking about Tazuna?
**[10:36] Gu**
Now sit down.
**[10:38] Gi**
That's right, Tazuna-chan.
**[10:41] Gi**
Koyori-chan, you must be tired
after coming such a long way.
**[10:44] Gi**
Okay, Koyori-chan, sit down.
**[10:48] M**
That's right.
**[10:49] M**
You've had a long day, right?
**[10:51] M**
Let's all sit down.
**[10:57] T**
What kind of welcome is this?!
***SIGN*** Koyori-chan!!
**[11:02] M**
I'll be going then.
**[11:04] M**
Oh, here.
**[11:07] Gu**
Oh, how kind of you.
**[11:10] Gu**
I hope you'll keep taking
such good care of Tazuna.
**[11:14] M**
Nah, he's a good student.
**[11:18] M**
It's a big help.
**[11:20] M**
Please take care of Koyori-kun for me.
**[11:29] M**
Bye!
**[11:30] T**
You're really leaving?
**[11:35] Gu**
It must be really hard for you, Koyori-chan.
**[11:38] Gu**
Coming here from Brazil
for an exchange program...
**[11:40] Gu**
I heard you're a third generation
Japanese immigrant.
**[11:42] T**
*Brazil?*
**[11:44] Gi**
Honey!
**[11:45] Gi**
Koyori-chan isn't used to Japanese yet.
**[11:49] Gi**
I'm sure it was really
hard to come all this way.
**[11:52] Gi**
Sensei said you aren't
used to Japanese food,
**[11:55] Gi**
so to let you get used to it little by little.
**[12:00] Gi**
So all we can give you is what he gave us, sorry.
**[12:03] Gu**
Honey,
**[12:04] Gu**
she's not used to Japanese yet?
**[12:07] Gi**
Aww, how silly of me!
**[12:10] Gu**
You're so goofy, honey!
**[12:13] Gi**
Aww, honey!
**[12:14] Gi**
Take this!
**[12:19] T**
You've got a guest. This is embarrassing.
**[12:23] Gu**
Anyway,
**[12:25] Gu**
you'll be staying here with us
during your exchange program.
**[12:28] Gu**
Tazuna, look out for her.
**[12:35] T**
I know that.
**[12:37] Gi**
Dinner will get cold.
**[12:39] Gi**
Let's eat.
**[12:41] All**
Let's eat.
**[12:51] T**
You don't know how to eat?
**[12:57] T**
Like this.
**[13:20] T**
You're a fast learner.
**[13:27] T**
All I did was show her how.
**[13:30] Gi**
An indirect kiss!
**[13:31] Gu**
Honey!
**[13:33] Gu**
That's enough.
**[13:34] Gi**
Oh, whoops!
**[13:36] T**
Guys, leave me alone!
**[13:43] T**
I'm exhausted...
**[13:52] T**
The bath, um...
**[13:56] T**
I don't think...
**[14:06] T**
Just a moment.
**[14:07] T**
Just a moment!
**[14:13] T**
You okay?
**[14:22] T**
I'll turn this way, then!
**[14:35] T**
You're not going to take your clothes off?
**[14:43] T**
Okay.
**[14:44] T**
You're sure, right?
**[14:49] T**
*Does she really understand?*
**[15:00] T**
*This isn't what it looks like!*
**[15:01] T**
* This isn't what it looks like!*
* Please believe me, officer!*
**[15:03] T**
*Officer, she propositioned me!*
**[15:05] T**
*No, I mean...*
**[15:06] T**
*I couldn't help it. It's an accident!*
**[15:08] T**
*But it's the only thing I could do!*
**[15:10] T**
*It meshes!*
**[15:11] T**
*I'm sure it meshes!*
**[15:12] T**
*I think so, but...*
**[15:13] T**
*No, officer, stop! Stop!*
**[15:15] T**
*Actually, just arrest me!*
**[15:23] T**
I'll get in the bath.
**[15:25] T**
You wash your body first.
**[15:33] T**
Y-You don't know how to do this either?
**[15:42] T**
Why don't you know any—
**[15:52] T**
Okay.
**[15:54] T**
I'll wash you without looking.
**[15:56] T**
Okay?
**[15:58] T**
You learned how to eat dinner quickly,
**[16:01] T**
so learn this, too, please.
**[16:05] T**
If you don't feel well I'll hold your hand,
**[16:07] T**
so tell me.
**[16:26] T**
*I can do it.*
**[16:27] T**
*I know I can do it!*
**[16:29] T**
*I have to do it.*
**[16:30] T**
*Do it!*
**[16:31] T**
*That's right.*
**[16:32] T**
*Now's the time!*
**[16:33] T**
* People tell me I get too focused on*
* things and don't come back, but this meshes!*
**[16:36] T**
*I'm about to become a machine.*
**[16:38] T**
*A machine!*
**[16:40] T**
*A machine that cleans Koyori!*
**[16:49] T**
*Machine!*
**[16:55] T**
I-I'm done.
**[16:58] T**
W-Wait!
**[17:00] T**
If you look this way...
**[17:13] T**
But I'm a machine!
**[17:18] Gi**
They're getting along so well.
**[17:26] Gi**
Were you concentrating?
**[17:28] Gi**
You're wide-open.
**[17:30] Gu**
It's a bad habit of mine.
**[17:32] T**
A tissue! I need a tissue!
**[17:35] T**
Am I going to die?
**[17:36] T**
Am I going to die?
**[17:43] Gi**
Brings back memories, doesn't it?
**[17:45] Gu**
Yup.
**[17:51] T**
Why did this happen?
**[18:06] T**
*But I guess I don't have a choice.*
**[18:08] T**
* Even if I don't know the*
* reason, I woke her up.*
**[18:12] T**
*I'll take responsibility*
**[18:13] T**
*and help her.*
**[18:16] T**
Hello.
**[18:17] T**
This is Akutagawa Koyori,
a transfer student from Brazil.
**[18:20] T**
Get along with her, okay?
**[18:22] gu**
Why are you doing the greeting for her?
**[18:24] gu**
Why are you holding her hand?
**[18:26] gu**
Are you that type of guy?
**[18:26] gu**
Koyori-chan's so cute!
**[18:29] gu**
Are you dating her? You jerk!
**[18:33] gu**
Wait, are you trying to show her off? What?
**[18:36] T**
I don't think it meshes either.
**[18:38] T**
But Koyori's very shy,
**[18:41] T**
and she still doesn't
understand Japanese well.
**[18:43] T**
So I'm doing it for her.
**[18:48] T**
I'm doing it for her!
**[18:52] Gu**
Just translate for me, then!
**[18:54] Gu**
Tell her I think her eyes are pretty!
**[18:55] Gu**
What's your relationship?
**[18:57] Gu**
Are you living together?
**[18:59] Gi**
Nice to meet you, Koyori-chan!
**[19:00] T**
Jeez!
**[19:01] T**
This way, Koyori!
**[19:02] Gu**
Wait!
**[19:03] Gu**
Are you guys really dating?
**[19:05] T**
No!
**[19:10] T**
I guess I can understand, though.
**[19:16] T**
We made it away from them.
**[19:18] T**
Those guys...
**[19:19] T**
Jeez...
**[19:22] T**
You okay?
**[19:27] T**
You were asleep for so long.
**[19:29] T**
Am I pushing you too hard?
**[19:30] T**
Sorry.
**[19:35] Gi**
Tazuna-kun!
**[19:37] T**
President Lily!
**[19:44] R**
I heard what happened.
**[19:46] R**
Looks like you've had a rough time.
**[19:48] T**
A bit, yeah.
**[19:50] R**
Hello.
**[19:52] R**
I'm Houjou Lily, Tazuna-kun's friend.
**[19:55] R**
Just call me Lily.
**[20:02] R**
Oh!
**[20:03] R**
She doesn't speak a lot
of Japanese yet, right?
**[20:06] R**
I'm sorry.
**[20:08] T**
I'll help her. It's okay.
**[20:11] T**
Anyway, did you need something?
**[20:13] R**
It's my little brother's game.
**[20:16] R**
I dropped it...
**[20:19] T**
I think it's an external problem like before.
**[20:24] T**
I can't use both hands.
**[20:25] T**
Sorry.
**[20:27] T**
It may take just a little
more time than usual.
**[20:30] R**
I guess you can't help it.
**[20:35] R**
The Lovers.
**[20:37] R**
Love... Bonds...
**[20:40] R**
Um...
**[20:41] R**
You two sure are close.
**[20:45] T**
It's not like that!
**[20:50] Gu**
Hello, we've been waiting for you.
**[20:53] Gu**
Thank you for coming.
**[20:55] Gu**
No, thank you.
**[20:59] Gi**
Thanks for sparing some of
your valuable time for us.
**[21:05] Gu**
A student who's an intern?
**[21:07] Gu**
A middle school student?
**[21:08] Gu**
No...
**[21:10] Gi**
Don't "no" him!
**[21:12] Gi**
Why did you make a very
boss-like face right now?
**[21:16] Gu**
Oops!
**[21:18] Gu**
Sorry I look like a boss!
**[21:20] Gi**
Jeez!
**[21:21] Gi**
Don't apologize!
**[21:28] Gi**
I'm Mitsudera Chizuru, with Centeotl.
**[21:31] Gi**
This is my subordinate, Azuma Hayate.
**[21:33] Gi**
Thanks for having us here today.
**[23:11] Gi**

**[00:59] T**
Koyori, are you okay?
**[01:04] Gu**
It's been two weeks since she woke up.
**[01:06] Gu**
She can eat real food now,
**[01:08] Gu**
including shumai!
**[01:11] Gu**
She should be able to let go of
your hand for about fifteen minutes.
**[01:17] Gu**
But, without more data, it's hard to say.
**[01:21] T**
I'm glad there's no problem.
**[01:23] Gu**
She's actually healthier now
than when she was asleep.
**[01:28] Gu**
I'll tell your parents about the food.
**[01:33] Gu**
You going home for today?
**[01:36] T**
No, we've got something to do.
**[01:39] Gu**
Repairs again?
**[01:42] Gu**
You haven't done what you
were supposed to do for me!
**[01:45] T**
If you're not in a hurry,
**[01:46] T**
I'll prioritize my own job for today.
**[01:48] Gu**
So mean!
**[01:50] Gu**
Well, that's okay, I guess.
**[01:52] Gu**
And... there's something I
want to try to make mesh.
**[03:38] ---**
**[03:39] C**
This concludes the presentation
on the introduction
**[03:42] ---**
of the Centeotl Group's unit
for the school cafeteria.
**[03:47] C**
Thank you for listening.
**[03:52] Gu**
I see.
**[03:53] Gu**
That would make it cheaper.
**[03:54] Gu**
It's logical.
**[03:56] Gu**
There's a lot of waste right now.
**[03:58] Gu**
That was easy to follow.
**[04:00] Gu**
I think everyone liked it.
**[04:03] C**
Thank you.
**[04:05] C**
Just hearing that makes me happy.
**[04:09] Gu**
She really is a good employee, isn't she?
**[04:11] Gu**
I want one like her, too.
**[04:13] Gu**
Thank you very much!
**[04:21] C**
Wrong, Hayate!
**[04:24] H**
I'm sorry people keep thinking I'm your boss.
**[04:28] C**
Don't apologize.
**[04:30] C**
You're the employee.
**[04:32] C**
I'm the boss.
**[04:33] C**
Don't apologize. Tell them they're wrong!
**[04:38] H**
I was thinking the same thing. Sorry.
**[04:42] C**
I said don't apologize!
**[04:44] C**
Well, forget it.
**[04:48] C**
We never told them they were wrong.
**[04:51] C**
What will you do next time?
**[04:53] H**
Hmm...
**[04:55] H**
Well, I'm sorry,
**[04:56] H**
but how about for this job we pretend
I'm the boss and you're the employee?
**[05:01] H**
Hey, Chizuru.
**[05:03] H**
Sorry, I'm blushing.
**[05:07] C**
If you're going to
apologize, just don't do it.
**[05:12] C**
I'll send them an email
clearing up the confusion.
**[05:16] H**
Sorry to make you do that.
**[05:18] C**
It's nothing new, so it's fine.
**[05:21] C**
Okay, all done.
**[05:23] H**
That was fast, Senpai!
**[05:25] H**
There's research that says eating fast
is bad for your health.
**[05:27] C**
You're just slow!
**[05:29] C**
You don't need to be in such a rush.
**[05:32] C**
Chew thoroughly before you swallow.
**[05:34] H**
Sorry I'm slow.
**[05:37] H**
Oh, Senpai.
**[05:39] C**
Wh-What?
**[05:40] H**
There's rice on your face.
**[05:42] H**
Sorry.
**[05:43] C**
I'll get it myself!
**[05:45] ---**
Jeez...
**[05:50] C**
Thank you.
**[05:51] H**
Nah, you're welcome.
**[05:54] H**
I'm always sorry for what I do.
**[05:56] C**
If you're going to apologize,
**[05:58] C**
just pay me back by working harder.
**[06:00] ---**
Got it!
**[06:05] C**
You really are such a... jeez.
**[06:09] C**
This is a good kitchen.
**[06:11] C**
One of our units would work great here.
**[06:13] H**
I hope the deal keeps going well
like it is now, Senpai.
**[06:17] C**
Don't hope.
**[06:18] C**
We're going to make it happen.
**[06:20] C**
You and me.
**[06:22] H**
Right! I'll do my best!
**[06:24] C**
*Jeez...*
**[06:29] T**
I think it's this...
**[06:32] T**
Which means...
**[06:34] T**
Yup, that's it.
**[06:36] T**
You really do learn fast.
**[06:40] T**
Thanks.
**[06:41] T**
It meshes!
**[06:44] T**
Okay, next is the flathead screwdriver.
**[06:49] T**
Thanks.
**[06:54] Gi**
Thanks. You're just as good as everyone said.
**[06:57] T**
It's just emergency repairs.
**[06:58] T**
It would be best to swap it out if you can.
**[07:02] Gi**
We're getting a new one.
**[07:03] Gi**
We'll just keep making do until that happens.
**[07:06] T**
If anything else breaks, let me know.
**[07:09] Gi**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:12] Gi**
You two are good friends, huh?
**[07:17] T**
No...
**[07:18] T**
It's not like that.
**[07:22] T**
Sorry.
**[07:23] H**
Sorry!
**[07:26] H**
Hey, I remember you.
**[07:28] T**
Yeah...
**[07:29] H**
Sorry about earlier.
**[07:33] H**
What a coincidence.
**[07:34] H**
You really helped me out last time.
**[07:36] T**
Is your car working okay?
**[07:38] H**
It's running fine.
**[07:40] H**
Oh, right!
**[07:41] H**
Your bike's a hybrid mountain bike, isn't it?
**[07:44] T**
You can tell?
**[07:46] H**
I've got one, too.
**[07:49] T**
There's not a lot of people
I can talk to about that.
**[07:52] H**
I know!
**[07:53] H**
Could I take a look at it?
**[07:55] T**
Sorry, I didn't bring my bike today.
**[07:59] H**
Sorry...
**[08:02] H**
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
introduce myself, either!
**[08:06] H**
I'm Azuma Hayate with Centeotl Inc.
**[08:10] H**
Nice to meet you.
**[08:12] T**
Um, thanks.
**[08:14] T**
I'm Takatsuki Tazuna.
**[08:16] T**
This is Akutagawa Koyori.
**[08:19] T**
Centeotl's the restaurant company?
**[08:21] C**
Yup. Centeotl, that runs Cocktail Corn.
**[08:25] C**
And giving a student a
business card is weird!
**[08:29] C**
Jeez!
**[08:30] ---**
Well...
**[08:32] H**
Sorry I'm a grownup.
**[08:34] C**
Jeez...
**[08:36] C**
Wait a second, young man!
**[08:38] C**
Listen. I'm not an intern,
**[08:40] C**
or a middle-school student
on take your daughter to work day!
**[08:44] T**
So you're in elementary school?
**[08:46] T**
You're really grown up.
**[08:47] C**
You're going even lower?
**[08:50] H**
Th-That's not right!
**[08:51] H**
Senpai may look like she's
in elementary school,
**[08:54] H**
but she's an adult.
**[08:55] H**
She's also my boss, since she has
more seniority than me.
**[08:58] C**
The way you say it,
**[08:59] C**
if I wasn't your Senpai,
**[09:00] C**
I wouldn't be anything special.
**[09:02] H**
Sorry for saying the wrong thing.
**[09:06] C**
Jeez.
**[09:08] T**
Sorry.
**[09:10] T**
I didn't realize you were older.
**[09:11] T**
Um...
**[09:14] C**
I'm used to it. It's okay, young man.
**[09:18] C**
This is our sales territory.
**[09:21] C**
Part of our job is to open new stores
and create operating plans for the area,
***SIGN*** Cocktail Corn
**[09:25] C**
so I'm also running Cocktail Corn.
**[09:30] T**
I'm just an ordinary employee.
**[09:32] T**
Senpai is a highly experienced veteran.
She's got years and years of experience.
**[09:38] C**
Now you're making me sound old!
**[09:40] C**
I'm going to remember that.
**[09:43] C**
Anyway, thanks once again for
helping us out, young man.
**[09:49] C**
Tazuna-kun and Koyori-chan.
**[09:53] C**
I know!
**[09:55] C**
You two seem to be close,
**[09:57] C**
why don't you come to my
restaurant for a date?
**[09:59] C**
There's a park nearby,
**[10:01] C**
so it's the perfect spot
to take your girlfriend.
**[10:06] T**
Girlfriend...?
**[10:11] T**
We're not like that...
**[10:14] Gu**
*She can eat real food now,*
**[10:15] Gu**
*including shumai!*
**[10:19] T**
Want to go?
**[10:31] T**
See you later.
**[10:32] Gi**
Bye.
**[10:35] Gi**
Koyori-chan's so cute, isn't she?
**[10:37] Gi**
I picked that outfit.
**[10:49] T**
Don't make her your doll...
**[10:59] T**
L-Let's go!
**[11:02] Gi**
Take care.
**[11:05] T**
I'll message if we're going to be late.
**[11:13] T**
Koyori?
**[11:18] T**
I want to ride it,
**[11:20] T**
but I can some other time.
**[11:25] Gi**
Bye!
***SIGN*** Cocktail Corn
**[11:42] C**
Welcome!
**[11:43] C**
Just the two of you, then?
**[11:46] H**
Welcome!
**[11:48] T**
H-Hello...
**[11:50] C**
Oh, young man!
**[11:52] C**
W-Welcome!
**[11:55] C**
Koyori-chan, you're so cute!
**[11:58] H**
Excuse me, manager?
**[12:02] C**
What is it?
**[12:03] H**
The pies!
**[12:04] H**
Sorry, I forgot them!
**[12:05] Gu**
Manager, you forgot these, too!
**[12:08] H**
I'm sorry!
**[12:11] Gi**
Cute manager,
**[12:13] Gi**
about the customers at table #6...
**[12:16] C**
Yeah, I'm going now.
**[12:19] C**
Just so we're clear, it's a stupid
nickname they came up with.
**[12:23] K**
R-Right.
**[12:28] C**
Okay, right this way.
**[12:31] C**
Once you've decided what you want to order,
**[12:34] C**
push the button.
**[12:36] C**
Hayate's paying, so order whatever you want.
**[12:41] C**
Enjoy.
**[12:45] T**
What do you want?
**[12:47] T**
Here.
**[12:52] T**
I see.
**[12:53] T**
You don't know what it is.
**[12:55] T**
It's a parfait with corn in it?
**[12:58] T**
Well, I guess it's okay,
**[12:59] T**
if that's what you want.
**[13:03] C**
Here you go!
**[13:06] C**
Mixed berry pancakes,
**[13:07] C**
hot coffee,
**[13:09] C**
and a corn parfait.
**[13:12] T**
Thank you.
**[13:13] C**
You're welcome!
**[13:16] C**
The "corn" in that parfait is candy corn.
**[13:18] T**
Glad to hear it.
**[13:20] C**
Enjoy!
**[13:23] T**
Let's eat.
**[13:39] T**
Is it good?
**[13:59] T**
It is good!
**[14:11] T**
It's so good.
**[14:13] T**
Thanks for the food!
**[14:21] T**
Do you still want more?
**[14:24] H**
Was it good?
**[14:26] H**
You can order more if you want.
**[14:29] C**
No, but...
**[14:31] H**
It's fine.
**[14:32] H**
Senpai's paying.
**[14:34] H**
Just order whatever you want.
**[14:37] H**
Another parfait, right?
**[14:39] H**
Leave it to me.
**[14:41] T**
Wait!
**[14:42] H**
Senpai's so generous.
**[14:52] T**
Thank you for everything today.
**[14:54] C**
It's fine.
**[14:55] C**
You really helped us.
**[14:58] H**
I didn't think I'd have to pay for it all.
**[15:01] C**
You're a grownup. No complaining.
**[15:03] C**
Get your act together.
**[15:05] H**
That hurt!
**[15:09] C**
I think there are a lot of
fun places around here.
**[15:13] C**
Enjoy your date.
**[15:14] T**
It's not like that, really.
**[15:17] C**
So what's the deal then, young man?
**[15:20] C**
It's not a date, but you're
holding each other's hands!
**[15:35] C**
If you were just a lovey-dovey couple,
**[15:38] C**
I could've let you go and been jealous.
**[15:43] T**
You knew we were Hand Shakers?
**[15:46] C**
I figured I would pay our debt to you first.
**[15:50] C**
Time passes differently in the Ziggurat,
**[15:52] C**
so you don't need to worry about our jobs.
**[15:57] T**
But I don't want to fight!
**[15:59] C**
We will fight.
**[16:01] C**
We have a reason.
**[16:03] H**
Sorry for deceiving you, Tazuna-kun.
**[16:07] C**
Hayate! No apologizing!
**[16:09] C**
Feeling guilty is just being weak,
**[16:11] C**
and it's rude to them!
**[16:13] H**
Right.
**[16:16] C**
I wish things were different...
**[16:19] (Flashback) Gu**
Poor thing. She pissed off the section chief.
**[16:22] (Flashback) Gu**
She's done getting promotions, and will be
sent to do sales in the middle of nowhere.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Gu**
She seriously got involved in that
faction dispute, didn't she?
**[16:28] (Flashback) Gu**
She looks like a kid,
**[16:30] (Flashback) Gu**
so she'll fit into a panda
costume for the kids perfectly.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Gu**
An elementary-school manager.
**[16:35] (Flashback) Gu**
She's a kid, so she doesn't understand
the subtleties of adult society.
**[16:40] (Flashback) Gu**
What happens to my promotions?
**[16:42] (Flashback) H**
I'm sorry!
**[16:44] (Flashback) H**
I'm really sorry!
**[16:46] (Flashback) Gu**
Are you just like that little girl?
**[16:49] (Flashback) H**
I'm sorry!
**[16:51] (Flashback) H**
I'm sorry!
**[16:55] (Flashback) C**
I'm not a minor!
**[17:01] (Flashback) C**
This is always what happens.
**[17:03] (Flashback) H**
They accidentally put the
alcohol in front of me,
**[17:07] (Flashback) H**
and I almost drank it.
**[17:09] (Flashback) C**
You pass out after a single drink, don't you?
**[17:13] (Flashback) C**
I wish everything was the
opposite, with you and me.
**[17:19] (Flashback) H**
I don't know.
**[17:23] (Flashback) C**
Maybe not.
**[17:26] (Flashback) H**
But what do you want, Senpai?
**[17:30] (Flashback) H**
Um...
**[17:31] (Flashback) H**
If you can meet God...
**[17:35] (Flashback) C**
I don't know if God will
really grant our wishes.
**[17:39] (Flashback) C**
But...
**[17:40] (Flashback) C**
If He will, maybe I'll make everything equal.
**[17:45] (Flashback) C**
Prejudice, fighting, all that
stupid stuff will disappear.
**[17:50] (Flashback) C**
And the difference between your
height and mine will disappear,
**[17:52] (Flashback) C**
and no one will call me a minor again.
**[17:54] (Flashback) C**
How about it?
**[17:58] (Flashback) H**
I like it!
**[17:59] (Flashback) H**
I like it!
**[18:01] (Flashback) H**
I'm sorry you're stuck with me,
**[18:02] (Flashback) H**
but I'll help you with everything.
**[18:04] (Flashback) C**
That's my subordinate!
**[18:07] (Flashback) C**
That's my Azuma Hayate!
**[18:08] (Flashback) C**
No self-deprecation!
**[18:09] (Flashback) C**
No apologies!
**[18:10] (Flashback) C**
Cheers to the Hand Shakers!
**[18:24] C**
Young man!
**[18:28] C**
You're both really good kids,
**[18:29] C**
so don't hate me for this.
**[18:33] C**
I'll give you my name.
**[18:34] C**
Dagger Shadow!
**[18:37] C**
That's me!
**[18:47] T**
No!
**[18:57] T**
Run!
**[19:14] T**
Now!
**[19:15] T**
Let's run and reg—
**[19:18] T**
What?
**[19:21] C**
I didn't introduce him yet, did I?
**[19:23] H**
Blade Shadow!
**[19:24] C**
That's my subordinate!
**[19:29] H**
Damn it!
**[19:55] T**
Two Nimrods...
**[19:57] T**
No, it's the same as with those chains.
**[20:02] T**
Koyori doesn't have a Nimrod.
**[20:04] C**
Is that young man just going to have
to keep protecting you, Koyori-chan?
**[20:09] C**
Just because you're a girl doesn't
mean you don't have to fight.
**[20:13] C**
If you don't fight yourself,
**[20:15] C**
your wish will end here!
**[20:24] C**
Come on, what will you do?
**[20:30] T**
It's okay.
**[20:31] T**
I'll do something.
**[20:32] C**
You think you can do something like that?
**[20:42] T**
She disappeared?
**[20:43] T**
Can you stand up?
**[21:10] C**
Shadow clones!
**[21:21] T**
No!
**[21:26] C**
We win!

**[00:07] T**
*They disappeared?*
**[00:10] C**
Too bad! That was a feint!
**[00:23] T**
We need to regroup.
**[00:26] T**
She'll beat us here.
**[00:37] C**
You won't get away, young man.
**[00:39] H**
The lovey-dovey couple with the chains
got away last time though.
**[00:45] C**
Hayate!
**[00:46] C**
That was because she shielded Break Chain,
**[00:50] ---**
and you hesitated to hit her.
**[00:52] C**
We could've won that fight.
**[00:55] H**
Sorry.
**[01:00] C**
I see.
**[01:01] C**
He can stop us from using our
Dagger and Blade, huh?
**[02:57] C**
You can use these obstacles
to stop our forward mobility.
**[03:00] C**
Smart thinking.
**[03:02] C**
But Dagger and Blade aren't
that easy to beat, young man!
**[03:17] C**
Too bad, young man, Koyori-chan.
**[03:20] C**
These are hunting grounds.
**[03:23] C**
It's time to end this.
**[03:27] T**
I can't use my sword.
**[03:28] T**
I'll use a shield!
**[03:33] T**
Why are you doing this?
**[03:35] C**
Why?
**[03:36] C**
Because we're Hand Shakers, young man.
**[03:41] T**
We don't want to fight!
**[03:43] C**
I'll give you a different reason then.
**[03:45] C**
Because we have a wish.
**[03:47] C**
That's why we fight,
and that's why we'll beat you!
**[03:51] T**
You don't even know if
your wish will come true.
**[03:53] C**
It might.
**[03:56] C**
That's good enough.
**[03:58] C**
I'll steel my resolve...
**[03:59] ---**
and fight!
**[04:04] T**
I guess we have to do it...
**[04:07] T**
Don't worry.
**[04:08] T**
I've got a plan.
**[04:11] T**
*They're too fast for us to escape.*
**[04:15] T**
* But there has to be some*
* way for things to mesh.*
**[04:20] T**
*If I lose, Koyori will...*
**[04:23] T**
*I'll protect Koyori!*
**[04:30] H**
A smokescreen!
**[04:32] H**
That's clever.
**[04:35] C**
Not bad, young man.
**[04:36] C**
But even if you run,
my clone will be waiting for you!
**[04:40] T**
*Damn it? Another clone?*
**[04:43] C**
He's really good...
**[04:45] C**
But I won't let you get away!
**[04:47] T**
*This is amazing.*
**[04:48] T**
*My body's responding on its own.*
**[04:51] T**
*I've only fought once before,*
**[04:54] T**
*but I know what they're going to do.*
**[04:56] T**
*I can use my gears freely.*
**[04:58] T**
* Does that mean my level as*
* a Hand Shaker has gone up?*
**[05:06] T**
Sorry for letting go!
**[05:08] T**
*Koyori...*
**[05:10] T**
*I can protect her forever like this.*
**[05:13] T**
*That's right.*
**[05:14] T**
*I swore that I wouldn't let go.*
**[05:19] T**
*That I'd never let go of her hand!*
**[05:22] T**
This way!
**[05:25] T**
*Just a little more...*
**[05:29] T**
*A little more!*
**[05:31] H**
I won't let you escape!
**[05:33] T**
*Are they following us?*
**[05:41] T**
*If we make it up here...*
**[05:49] T**
Let's go, Koyori!
**[06:02] C**
Looks like you've chosen to fight.
**[06:08] C**
Let's finish this, Hayate.
**[06:11] H**
I'll follow you anywhere, Senpai.
**[06:21] C**
You're mine, young man!
**[06:31] T**
*I can't tell which are the clones, but...*
**[06:34] T**
*Up here...*
**[06:39] T**
They meshed.
**[06:50] C**
He could tell which one was me?
**[06:52] C**
No...
**[06:54] C**
He lured us up here?
**[07:01] T**
You can't surround me up here!
**[07:05] C**
What are you doing?
**[07:11] H**
Come on, Tazuna-kun!
**[07:13] T**
Right!
**[07:14] C**
Hayate!
**[07:19] T**
Azuma-san!
**[07:20] H**
Let's finish this as men!
**[07:24] C**
Hayate!
**[07:41] C**
Hayate...
**[07:44] H**
I'm sorry...
**[07:52] T**
Chizuru-san.
**[07:56] C**
You won.
**[08:00] C**
That's how this battle works.
**[08:07] C**
You did well, my subordinate.
**[08:12] C**
Thank you.
**[08:20] C**
I'm really sorry!
**[08:22] H**
I'm sorry!
**[08:27] T**
S-Stop it...
**[08:29] T**
That's what Hand Shakers are supposed to do.
**[08:32] C**
Even if we didn't know,
**[08:34] C**
we said all kinds of really selfish things...
**[08:35] C**
We have to apologize.
**[08:37] H**
That's right.
**[08:38] H**
If she doesn't charge,
and loses her power, she dies?
**[08:42] H**
If she loses, she dies? That's crazy!
**[08:46] H**
I'm sorry I'm so healthy.
**[08:50] C**
I told her not to just let him
protect her, to fight for herself...
**[08:53] C**
Without even knowing what was going on...
**[08:55] C**
I'm terrible.
**[08:58] C**
I'm sorry, Koyori-chan.
**[09:07] C**
Koyori-chan.
**[09:09] C**
Thank you.
**[09:10] C**
You're very nice.
**[09:11] C**
But you're treating me
like a kid. Please stop.
**[09:20] H**
Anyway, is it because of how her body works
**[09:24] H**
that Koyori-chan doesn't have a Nimrod?
**[09:27] Gu**
I have theories, but haven't
been able to prove them yet.
**[09:31] Gu**
That's about where we are.
**[09:33] Gu**
I need more data!
**[09:41] Gu**
Want some shumai?
**[09:43] Gu**
I recommend it.
**[09:44] H**
Sure!
**[09:48] H**
It's good!
**[09:50] Gu**
I'm glad that Koyori-kun's safe, though,
**[09:54] Gu**
and that we didn't end up enemies.
**[09:57] C**
It was a fair fight.
**[09:59] C**
I won't lie and say I'm not upset,
but I'm not going to hate you for it.
**[10:03] C**
Right, Hayate?
**[10:05] H**
Yeah.
**[10:07] T**
Chizuru-san...
**[10:08] T**
Hayate-san...
**[10:09] C**
More importantly,
**[10:11] C**
you fought and protected Koyori-chan,
who doesn't have a Nimrod,
**[10:14] C**
and you beat us.
**[10:16] C**
Koyori-chan, this young man is a great guy.
**[10:23] C**
Don't let the younger kid
beat you, my subordinate!
**[10:29] H**
I'm really sorry he got me.
**[10:32] C**
By the way, what's your name?
**[10:37] T**
Name?
**[10:39] C**
Yeah.
**[10:40] C**
Remember how we called ourselves
Dagger Shadow and Blade Shadow?
**[10:45] C**
You've got something like that, right?
**[10:56] Gu**
Oh, right. That.
**[10:59] Gu**
I kept meaning to bring it up...
**[11:02] Gu**
Um, you know...
**[11:03] Gu**
It happens, right?
**[11:05] ---**
Wait!
**[11:07] C**
You're like their guardian.
**[11:09] C**
You're the one who told them
about the Hand Shakers, right?
**[11:13] C**
Jeez!
**[11:16] Gu**
Oh, I remembered.
**[11:18] Gu**
But you know, when you're over 30...
**[11:21] C**
Don't use your age as an excuse.
**[11:23] C**
It's rude to people who are
the same age and are working hard.
**[11:25] C**
O-Okay...
**[11:26] C**
And if girls use their age as an
excuse, they get old real fast!
**[11:29] ---**
I just forgot to say it...
**[11:32] H**
It's fine! You don't look old at all.
**[11:36] H**
Right, right, right.
**[11:37] H**
You look like a middle-school student.
**[11:39] C**
Who are you calling a middle-school student?
**[11:41] C**
Jeez!
**[11:42] C**
Learn your lesson!
**[11:43] C**
Makihara-san, you learn
your lesson right now!
**[11:46] C**
Understand why I'm getting mad at you
**[11:48] C**
and learn your lesson,
**[11:50] C**
or you won't grow!
**[11:53] M**
Right...
**[11:55] C**
And I'm going to get really
mad at you later, Hayate!
**[11:58] C**
If you pay for the next drinking
party I'll let you off.
**[12:02] H**
That's a surprisingly solid threat.
**[12:05] C**
How long are you going to keep holding me?
**[12:08] C**
Jeez!
**[12:10] H**
Sorry, you're so light.
**[12:13] C**
I do not have the body of an
elementary-school student!
**[12:16] C**
It's closer to a middle-school student!
**[12:18] H**
I didn't say that, but sorry.
**[12:20] C**
Shut up.
**[12:23] C**
It looks like you haven't heard
**[12:27] ---**
that holding hands is
directly linked to fighting.
**[12:30] T**
You mean it'll make it
obvious we're Hand Shakers?
**[12:34] C**
That's part of it.
**[12:36] C**
First, when two Hand Shakers hold hands,
**[12:39] C**
they exchange memories and emotions, right?
**[12:44] C**
You know, when you hold their hand,
**[12:46] ---**
you can kind of tell what they're
thinking or feeling, right?
**[12:53] Gu**
No, not in Koyori-kun's case.
**[12:56] T**
I see.
**[12:58] T**
She was asleep the whole time...
**[13:01] T**
That's why I didn't feel anything.
**[13:12] C**
I see.
**[13:14] C**
If you have something you want to hide,
you can hide it by focusing on it.
**[13:18] C**
And of course, because it's only for
stuff on the surface of your mind,
**[13:20] C**
it's not a perfect synchronization.
**[13:23] H**
Are you hiding something?
**[13:25] C**
I'll get back to the point.
**[13:27] C**
I was thinking about
something more fundamental.
**[13:30] T**
Senpai!
**[13:32] C**
Do you know what the trigger
for entering the Ziggurat is?
**[13:36] T**
No...
**[13:38] T**
So far it's just been like
we're being caught up in it.
**[13:41] C**
One way is when two sets of Hand Shakers
holding hands get within a certain distance.
**[13:47] C**
Then it's automatic.
**[13:57] Gu**
The data indicates the range
is about a kilometer.
**[14:01] Gu**
There've been cases where multiple
groups have been caught up at once.
**[14:06] C**
The other is when a pair of
Hand Shakers holding hands
**[14:10] ---**
focus on a target and
challenge them to battle.
**[14:13] C**
In other words, once someone
knows you're a Hand Shaker,
**[14:17] C**
you can be challenged, even
if you're not holding hands.
**[14:22] Gu**
This is another thing you can do if the
target's within a range of one kilometer.
**[14:26] Gu**
There's also data that shows if
you get over a kilometer away
**[14:29] ---**
from the enemy you'll be
knocked out of the Ziggurat.
**[14:33] T**
Th-Then...
**[14:37] T**
I'm basically holding a sign saying,
"I'm a Hand Shaker" as I walk?
**[14:47] Gu**
Well, it's also possible to assume
you're just a lovey-dovey couple.
**[14:55] Gu**
Sorry.
**[14:56] Gu**
I forgot about that stuff.
**[14:58] Gu**
But I figured you'd be able to tell somehow.
**[15:02] C**
You're not a very reliable backer.
**[15:05] C**
Normally, you try not to stand out so
as not to get challenged to battles,
**[15:10] C**
and you hide your name when you fight.
**[15:12] C**
Otherwise, you'll have to bring the fight
**[15:14] ---**
into the real world,
and your daily life, right?
**[15:18] C**
Oh, jeez!
**[15:20] C**
Fine, Hayate and I will be your guardians,
**[15:23] ---**
since you can actually count on us!
**[15:26] H**
You can count on me?
**[15:28] C**
I will be a guardian you can count on.
**[15:32] H**
Senpai...
**[15:34] T**
Guardians? But...
**[15:38] C**
Does it bother you that you beat us?
**[15:41] C**
That's because we're weaker than you.
**[15:45] C**
We just weren't strong enough.
**[15:48] C**
There's no need for it
to bother you, or Koyori-chan.
**[15:53] C**
You beat us, so I don't want you losing
**[15:58] ---**
because of this careless guardian!
**[16:01] C**
We've only been in two battles though.
**[16:07] T**
Chizuru-san, Hayate-san...
**[16:11] T**
Thank you.
**[16:18] GU**
Isn't that nice, Tazuna-kun, Koyori-kun?
**[16:21] GU**
I'm feeling relieved, too.
**[16:31] GU**
Are you an angel?
**[16:35] C**
Okay, so here's our first piece of advice.
**[16:41] T**
Okay!
**[16:42] C**
Single Gear.
**[16:44] C**
How about it?
**[16:46] C**
Jeez...
**[16:48] C**
Your name!
**[16:49] C**
Your Hand Shaker name.
**[16:52] C**
I just told you that using your
real name's dangerous, right?
**[16:55] C**
So I thought of one.
**[16:57] H**
Normally you fight together as pair,
**[16:59] H**
but you fought to protect
Koyori-chan all by yourself.
**[17:03] H**
Your Nimrod is a gear.
**[17:05] H**
So that's why it's Single Gear.
**[17:09] C**
That's right, but don't explain it!
**[17:11] C**
I'm so embarrassed, I'm going to explode!
**[17:15] C**
That wasn't a compliment!
**[17:17] T**
Single Gear...
**[17:22] T**
Thank you.
**[17:27] C**
It's okay.
**[17:28] C**
You can rely on us.
**[17:30] T**
Okay!
**[17:58] C**
They were strong, huh?
**[18:01] H**
Yup.
**[18:03] H**
Tazuna-kun was really tough.
**[18:11] C**
I told them I didn't feel
bitter because we lost, right?
**[18:15] C**
That's a lie...
**[18:18] H**
I thought so.
**[18:21] C**
I'm really frustrated!
**[18:23] C**
I was sure that we...
**[18:25] C**
that you and I could beat anyone!
**[18:29] C**
That we could do anything!
**[18:31] C**
I hope they both explode.
**[18:41] H**
Chizuru-san...
**[18:44] C**
Thank you.
**[18:51] C**
Sorry I'm such a worthless boss.
**[18:57] C**
To be honest, you really help me out a lot.
**[19:05] C**
I guess you really are a guy...
**[19:12] H**
I'm... I'm really upset, too...
**[19:14] H**
Hayate! K-Keep your eyes on the road!
**[19:17] H**
I'm sorry, I can't see what's in front
of me because of the sweat in my heart!
**[19:23] C**
Oh, no! You idiot!
**[19:25] C**
We're going to die! We're going to die!
**[19:28] C**
We're going to die!
**[19:29] C**
You idiot! Stupid Hayate!
**[19:34] C**
I thought we were going to die.
**[19:36] H**
I'm really sorry.
**[19:42] C**
As long as you understand.
**[19:45] C**
But you know,
**[19:46] C**
we lost, and it's frustrating...
**[19:50] C**
But those little kids are risking
their lives and working really hard.
**[19:54] C**
I think we, their elders,
need to work even harder.
**[19:58] C**
You and I can do anything together.
**[20:00] C**
Even if our fight's over,
I still think that's true.
**[20:04] H**
That's right.
**[20:06] H**
I'll do my best, too!
**[20:07] H**
We can do anything!
**[20:09] C**
Okay, let's go drinking.
**[20:11] C**
You're paying.
**[20:12] C**
Tomorrow we've got work,
**[20:14] C**
but we can do anything.
**[20:16] H**
I'll go with you, Senpai!
**[20:18] H**
Today I'll actually use my credit card!
**[20:21] H**
Go easy on me!
**[20:24] H**
By the way, weren't you saying
something in the car, Senpai?
**[20:29] H**
Something about me helping you out?
**[20:31] C**
Are you bringing that up now?
**[20:33] C**
You really are...
**[20:35] H**
Senpai, that hurts.
**[20:37] C**
Let's just go.
**[20:39] H**
Here?
**[20:41] H**
Here, right?
**[20:42] C**
I'm getting the best stuff they have tonight.
**[20:43] H**
It's expensive!

**[00:30] M**
Set up!
**[00:32] M**
Draw!
**[00:33] M**
She sends Garon, the Boatman
of Six Coins to the graveyard!
**[00:37] M**
Then she plays Cerberus
The Steel Sword of Fangs!
**[00:39] M**
Approach with Flame Emperor!
**[00:43] Gi**
I-I'll use an event!
**[00:46] Gi**
Symphony of the Sirens!
**[00:48] Gi**
I cancel your approach and make
you discard a random card.
**[00:53] M**
I don't know about that.
**[00:54] M**
This ends it!
**[00:56] M**
Red dragoon!
**[00:58] M**
She approaches with this.
**[01:00] Gi**
But I don't have any characters left.
**[01:03] M**
This is your... dead end!
**[01:07] M**
Approach with Cerberus.
**[01:13] M**
Let's play Precious Memories again sometime.
**[01:15] Gi**
Koyori-chan, will you be my friend?
**[01:20] Gi**
After what I did to you?
**[01:31] M**
I wasn't thinking when I did it.
**[01:36] Gi**
That dead end was cool.
**[01:52] T**
Where did you go?
**[03:47] T**
I feel out of place here, don't you?
**[03:51] C**
Welcome!
**[03:54] H**
Hello.
**[03:55] T**
Thanks for inviting us somewhere so pretty.
**[03:59] C**
It's fine.
**[04:00] C**
This is a showroom for
a next-generation store,
**[04:02] C**
so we need to see how
regular people react, too.
**[04:05] C**
A student I happen to know
is more than welcome here.
**[04:08] T**
This place is amazing, huh?
**[04:10] C**
Isn't it?
**[04:12] C**
We spared no expense to make this showroom!
**[04:15] C**
We couldn't actually make a store like this.
**[04:19] H**
We can't?
**[04:21] H**
I was looking forward to it.
**[04:23] C**
I'm surprised that you're surprised.
**[04:27] C**
Did you order already?
**[04:29] T**
Just now...
**[04:31] T**
It comes out from here?
**[04:33] C**
The concept is that it's mostly automated.
**[04:35] C**
You just order with the touch panel
and it comes out on its own.
**[04:38] T**
What route did it take to get here?
**[04:42] T**
You need to control it so it doesn't vibrate.
**[04:45] T**
How fast does it go?
What type of motor is it?
**[04:46] T**
When did they start making it, that it came out so soon after we ordered?
**[04:52] T**
If they did the cooking the normal way,
**[04:52] C**
Young man? Young man?
**[04:53] H**
Tazuna-kun...
**[04:53] ---**
to keep things balanced when it's being
transported, the conveyor belt...
**[04:58] H**
He's so good at focusing.
**[05:01] H**
Is that what beat us?
**[05:03] T**
S-Sorry.
**[05:05] T**
I couldn't get things to mesh in my head.
**[05:08] T**
Sorry, Koyori.
**[05:10] H**
Have some rice too.
**[05:13] T**
This place really is amazing though.
**[05:15] T**
Hayate-san, I know this might
not be possible, but...
**[05:19] T**
Can I see what's inside?
**[05:21] H**
No, I don't think that's possible...
**[05:23] H**
But I know how you feel.
**[05:25] H**
It's so cool the way it comes automatically.
**[05:28] T**
You could use this system
for a lot of things, huh?
**[05:31] H**
You're so ambitious.
**[05:34] C**
You're such a boy.
**[05:38] T**
Man, I can't stop thinking about it...
**[05:40] H**
Hey, Tazuna-kun, why don't
we go for a bike ride?
**[05:44] C**
What's wrong?
**[05:44] T**
That sounds great!
**[05:45] H**
I've never gone that far.
**[05:49] H**
I just don't get very many
chances to exercise...
**[05:53] ---**
**[05:54] H**
Cantilever breaks are so cool.
**[05:55] K**
That's pretty hardcore!
**[05:55] K**
You want to cook for him, right?
**[05:58] ---**
**[06:01] C**
I hope I can teach you right,
**[06:04] C**
but I've got my work,
**[06:06] C**
and I can't come over to your house.
**[06:10] C**
Do you have a phone?
**[06:13] C**
Then borrow Tazuna-kun's...
**[06:15] C**
Do you know how to use one?
**[06:18] C**
So you'd look at something
like this, and then...
**[06:23] C**
You'd just have to practice.
**[06:26] C**
I had a really hard time at first, too.
**[06:28] C**
The side dishes at the supermarket...
**[06:30] C**
Oh, the parfait's melting.
**[06:32] H**
...and so I've got nothing to do on the
way there, so I listen to the radio...
**[06:32] C**
Eat it first.
**[06:36] C**
Youth!
**[06:39] H**
What's wrong?
**[06:40] C**
The pure things we lost as we grew up...
**[06:45] C**
I was feeling them.
**[06:47] H**
You don't look like you've grown up though.
**[06:51] H**
So anyway, my car,
**[06:53] H**
I've modified the speakers!
**[06:55] T**
That's great!
**[06:56] T**
Let me see them some time!
**[06:59] C**
These boys...
**[07:02] T**
That was amazing.
**[07:04] T**
I don't know if the Centeotl Group
could make all that stuff itself.
**[07:09] T**
Those quiet motors...
**[07:12] T**
Where were they made?
**[07:14] T**
Japan? Overseas?
**[07:16] T**
Or maybe...
**[07:18] T**
I really want to see how they work.
**[07:28] T**
Koyori?!
**[07:31] T**
Oh, no!
**[07:32] T**
Koyori doesn't have a cell phone.
**[07:34] T**
Why didn't I give her one?
**[07:39] T**
If I thought about it at all,
I would've known...
**[07:42] T**
Of all the things that could happen...
**[08:26] Gi**
Koyori-chan?
**[08:36] Gi**
N-No...
**[08:39] Gi**
Sis, you actually look
more suspicious that way.
**[08:45] T**
It's no good! I can't find her!
**[08:47] M**
*I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking either!*
**[08:51] M**
*We should've at least thought*
**[08:54] ---**
*about using GPS to locate her or something...*
**[08:58] M**
*But I...*
**[09:00] M**
*No, I can't be getting excited, huh?*
**[09:03] T**
Is Koyori okay?
**[09:06] T**
She hasn't disappeared already...
**[09:09] M**
If she's not inside the Ziggurat,
I can guarantee you two hours.
**[09:14] T**
Two hours?
**[09:15] M**
*You're still okay.*
**[09:16] M**
*I'm sure of that.*
**[09:18] T**
I'll find her.
**[09:20] T**
I promise I'll find her.
**[09:21] T**
I won't...
**[09:23] M**
*Tazuna-kun?*
**[09:29] T**
Koyori?
**[09:30] M**
*What's wrong, Tazuna-kun?*
**[09:32] T**
Sorry, I'm hanging up.
**[09:41] T**
She's not here.
**[09:42] T**
Did I pass her?
**[09:44] Gu**
Looking for something?
**[09:57] T**
Did a girl come this way?
**[10:01] Gu**
A girl?
**[10:04] Gu**
Do you know how many girls
there are in this world?
**[10:07] T**
You're right...
**[10:09] T**
Bye.
**[10:10] Gu**
Wait.
**[10:12] T**
Do you need something?
**[10:21] Gu**
How's school lately?
**[10:26] Gu**
Does he still like shumai?
**[10:31] Gu**
No, I just couldn't think of what to say.
**[10:35] T**
*He's a poor talker.*
**[10:37] T**
Is Makihara doing okay?
**[10:43] Gu**
We will now begin the Precious Memories
Osaka Tournament, sponsored by Card Lab!
***SIGN*** Osaka Tournament
**[10:49] Gu**
That's a trap!
**[10:50] Gu**
This is my real one!
**[10:52] Gu**
Four sets! That's all!
**[10:54] Gu**
Yes!
**[10:56] Gi**
I'm back, Koyori-chan.
**[10:57] Gi**
I'm sorry, I can't get a hold of Tazuna-kun.
**[11:01] Gi**
I'll call him later.
**[11:06] Gi**
Masaru...?
**[11:08] Gi**
He's in the finals, right?
**[11:10] M**
It's my turn.
**[11:12] M**
I use the text for Deathcase Volcano!
**[11:15] M**
I put two cards in my point storage
area and play my discarded card!
**[11:21] Gu**
No way...
**[11:22] Gu**
One more point and you lose. Are you insane?
**[11:25] M**
I'm totally sane.
**[11:27] M**
Why would I need to hesitate?
**[11:29] M**
You're going to be burned by Crimson
Hellfire and lose this turn.
**[11:35] Gu**
Is that it?
**[11:36] Gu**
Is he going to use it?
**[11:38] R**
He sure is!
**[11:39] M**
I play Flame Emperor, the Dragon of
Crimson Heavens, from my discarded cards!
**[11:43] Gu**
That's it!
**[11:44] Gu**
The ace of the Dead End Emperor!
**[11:47] Gu**
You couldn't do that unless you
were sure you were going to win!
**[11:50] Gu**
Way to go, Emperor!
**[11:52] R**
You're so cool, Masaru!
**[11:54] R**
That's the Dead End Emperor for you!
**[11:57] R**
I love the Dead End!
**[12:02] R**
The Emperor.
**[12:05] R**
Rule. Authority.
**[12:07] R**
In other words,
this is the zone of the Emperor.
**[12:10] Gu**
Emperor's big sis is always so loud...
**[12:13] M**
This is your dead end!
**[12:16] M**
Approach with Flame Emperor!
**[12:20] Gu**
The winner is the Demon Emperor of
the Apocalypse, the Dead End Emperor,
**[12:24] Gu**
Houjou Masaru!
**[12:28] Gu**
Wow!
**[12:28] Gu**
He got burnt to a crisp!
**[12:29] R**
That was an amazing dead end, Masaru!
**[12:31] R**
That's my emperor!
**[12:39] M**
I think that was a good match.
**[12:42] Gu**
The emperor...
**[12:46] Gu**
You've got a good sister, huh?
**[12:48] R**
Masaru, you did it!
**[12:50] R**
Isn't that great?
**[12:52] R**
Four wins in a row!
**[12:53] R**
Next it's on to the nationals...
**[12:55] M**
Sheesh.
**[12:56] M**
We're going home.
**[12:58] M**
I'm so embarrassed.
**[13:01] R**
Masaru...
**[13:09] M**
Our plans got messed up.
**[13:16] M**
You interested in my cards?
**[13:23] M**
Want to try some Precious Memories?
**[13:25] T**
You know Makihara-sensei?
**[13:29] Gu**
Do I know him?
**[13:32] Gu**
I guess you could say I know him.
**[13:36] Gu**
You could say I don't know him...
**[13:39] Gu**
But no, I know.
**[13:41] T**
*He really is bad at talking.*
**[13:43] T**
Um, you don't have to try to act cool.
**[13:46] T**
I'm in a hurry.
**[13:50] Gu**
I'll ask you instead.
**[13:52] Gu**
Do you know him?
**[13:54] T**
Listen, you really don't need
to try and impress me...
**[13:58] Gu**
Makihara was originally a Hand Shaker.
**[14:03] Gu**
I figured he hadn't told you.
**[14:05] T**
Who are you...?
**[14:08] Gu**
Why are you fighting?
**[14:11] T**
I...
**[14:15] T**
Destroying the wishes of others.
**[14:18] T**
That's what you're doing.
**[14:25] T**
You haven't even discovered the
god you're supposed to find.
**[14:29] T**
No, you don't even have a wish.
**[14:33] T**
Who...
**[14:35] T**
Who are you?
**[14:38] Gu**
Who am I, huh?
**[14:41] T**
I said...
**[14:43] Gu**
Are you just going to do
what Makihara tells you?
**[14:48] T**
I'm...
**[14:49] Gu**
You're fighting to keep Koyori alive.
**[14:54] Gu**
Koyori reminds you of your own sister...
**[14:59] T**
N-No...
**[15:00] Gu**
That isn't Takatsuki Musubu, your sister.
**[15:05] Gu**
Are you still going to do
what Makihara tells you?
**[15:10] M**
It feels like you've gotten used to it now,
**[15:11] M**
so I'll get serious.
**[15:17] M**
Approach with Flame Emperor!
**[15:19] M**
This is your dead end!
**[15:22] M**
I win!
**[15:29] R**
The reverse moon.
**[15:31] R**
Bewitchment. Hidden danger.
**[15:34] R**
I can't believe Koyori-chan is so good.
**[15:37] R**
I'm not a match for her yet.
**[15:40] M**
You're not even that good at the game.
**[15:44] R**
Masaru...
**[15:46] M**
But even if I lent you my cards,
**[15:49] M**
I can't believe I'm having to fight so hard
**[15:51] ---**
against someone who just
started playing today.
**[15:53] M**
You learn fast...
**[15:56] M**
Yeah, it was fun.
**[15:58] M**
One more game?
**[16:01] M**
As many as you want.
**[16:07] M**
What?
**[16:09] R**
I have to call Tazuna-kun!
**[16:11] M**
I'm not a kid.
**[16:13] M**
You don't have to follow me here.
**[16:13] R**
Excuse me, Koyori-chan...
**[16:22] M**
I don't hate her or anything.
**[16:24] M**
She's just a bit of a nuisance.
**[16:28] M**
Let's just do this.
**[16:29] M**
You can go first.
**[16:34] T**
I...
**[16:36] ---**
Koyori...
**[16:39] Gu**
Shouldn't you answer that?
**[16:44] T**
President Lily? I'm...
**[16:47] T**
Koyori's with you?
**[16:48] T**
I'll head there now. Thanks!
**[16:58] Gu**
You who will overcome many
battles and trials...
**[17:03] Gu**
You who received the Revelation.
**[17:05] Gu**
You who would challenge me.
**[17:08] Gu**
Yes, you, the Hand Shaker...
**[17:14] Gu**
Makihara, that's a sin.
**[17:18] R**
Isn't that great?
**[17:19] R**
Tazuna-kun says he'll be here soon.
**[17:24] R**
No way!
**[17:27] R**
Reverse Temperance!
**[17:29] R**
Waste?
**[17:30] R**
I forgot I used the money for lunch...
**[17:33] R**
I was planning to withdraw some money!
**[17:39] M**
I'll pay.
**[17:41] R**
Oh no, Masaru, your sister can...
**[17:45] R**
You can always count on your big sister...
**[17:48] R**
Masaru...
**[17:51] M**
You used too much money because
you bought me lunch, right?
**[17:59] R**
Thank you, Masaru!
**[18:09] R**
My dignity as an older sister is ruined...
**[18:14] R**
I wish I had my act together more,
**[18:18] R**
but I always look so stupid
when I'm around Masaru.
**[18:23] R**
Maybe I'm letting him spoil me,
even though he's my little brother.
**[18:27] R**
But Masaru's a really smart kid.
**[18:30] R**
His card's the Emperor, you know?
**[18:32] R**
He's smart, and he thinks on his feet.
**[18:34] R**
Lately he's been getting stronger,
**[18:37] R**
and he's getting taller...
**[18:40] R**
When I peeked in the bath a
while ago, I was a little...
**[18:44] R**
Koyori-chan, you're really good
friends with Tazuna-kun, right?
**[18:48] R**
Um, well... um...
**[18:52] R**
Oh, never mind! It's nothing!
**[18:55] R**
But... um...
**[19:00] R**
Is it weird to be in love
**[19:05] ---**
with your little brother?
**[19:12] T**
Koyori!
**[19:19] T**
Koyori!
**[19:42] T**
I'm sorry.
**[19:44] T**
Are you okay? Does it hurt?
**[19:52] T**
President Lily, thank you.
You were a big help.
**[19:55] R**
No, I'm really glad...
**[20:04] M**
Okay, first let's hit up an ATM.
**[20:32] R**
No way...
**[20:33] R**
Tazuna-kun's a Hand Shaker...
**[20:35] M**
Sis...
**[20:37] T**
President Lily...
**[20:39] T**
Are we going to fight?
**[20:40] R**
No... I don't want to fight like this.
**[20:45] R**
Not with you!
**[20:46] T**
Then wish for the fight to stop.
**[20:50] T**
If we both lose our will to fight,
**[20:52] T**
we'll be kicked out of the Ziggurat.
**[20:55] T**
*That's what Makihara-sensei said.*
**[20:56] R**
Y-Yeah...
**[20:59] R**
I can't fight Tazuna-kun.
**[21:09] R**
Why?
**[21:11] M**
It means you want to fight us, right?
**[21:14] R**
Masaru?
**[21:15] M**
Sis, we have to fight.
**[21:19] R**
Yeah.
**[21:21] T**
President Lily!
**[21:22] R**
If you want to fight...
**[21:24] M**
...then let's start!
**[21:25] M**
Standby!
**[21:31] T**
So this is the President's Nimrod...
**[23:11] T**
*I fell in love with you, sadly.*
**[23:13] T**
*I can't read the future of these feelings.*
**[23:15] T**
*I fell in love with you, sadly.*
**[23:17] T**
*I'll turn my love into burning flames.*
**[23:20] T**
* It's too young to call forbidden,*
* and too fierce.*
**[23:24] T**
*The deck shrinks. The gears spin.*
**[23:26] T**
*If I defeat you, my wish will come true.*
**[23:29] ---**
* Next time on Hand Shakers,*
* Episode 6: Emperor of Fortune.*
**[23:35] ---**
*The last card unleashed is their truth.*

**[02:37] T**
President Lily, wait!
**[02:39] L**
No. If you want to fight...
**[02:46] L**
Fortune Card!
**[03:01] L**
The Wheel of Fortune!
**[03:04] L**
Fate is in the hands of my Emperor!
**[03:07] M**
Begin turn.
**[03:09] M**
Draw.
**[03:12] M**
The cards are on the field.
**[03:14] M**
Event: Lava Flow Dive!
**[03:35] T**
They disappeared?
**[03:37] T**
Did they let us go?
**[03:46] T**
Is it okay?
**[03:47] T**
If they're willing to
just stop fighting us...
**[04:00] T**
No...
**[04:04] M**
Approach with Red Dragoon.
**[04:07] [SONG] M**
Red Dragoon
**[04:18] T**
We have to fight?
**[04:23] T**
Now what?
**[04:29] T**
So this is their Nimrod?
**[04:33] T**
Damn it!
**[04:34] T**
Where are they attacking from?
**[04:39] T**
Over there?
**[04:45] T**
I have to get them to realize
that we don't want to fight.
**[04:51] M**
Event: Hellfire of Pele.
**[05:02] T**
Why is this thing so powerful?
**[05:06] M**
I have to do it...
**[05:08] M**
even if I'm fighting
my sister's classmate!
**[05:14] L**
Yes, you're right.
**[05:19] L**
I'll protect you no matter what, Masaru.
**[05:23] L**
Even if we're fighting
Tazuna-kun and Koyori-chan.
**[05:28] M**
Let's win, sis.
**[05:36] L**
I'll do just what you want, Masaru.
**[05:42] L**
Even if that means changing fate.
**[05:50] M**
That's your Fortune Card...
**[05:53] M**
and my Emperor Card brings about the end.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Gi**
Wow, Lily!
**[06:16] (Flashback) Gu**
Work harder. You can do better.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Gi**
I see... Student Council President, huh?
**[06:24] (Flashback) Gu**
Work harder.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Gu**
I'll be eating out.
**[06:29] (Flashback) R**
Bye, Dad.
**[06:32] (Flashback) R**
Bye.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Gu**
I heard you got an A on your practice exams.
**[06:36] (Flashback) R**
Yes.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Gu**
Don't get cocky.
**[06:39] (Flashback) R**
Right.
**[06:43] (Flashback) Gi**
If he's leaving at this hour,
it's got to be...
**[06:47] (Flashback) Gi**
You're so smart, aren't you?
**[06:54] (Flashback) R**
Welcome back, Masaru!
**[06:56] (Flashback) Gi**
Masaru!
**[06:58] (Flashback) Gi**
I got a call from the school!
**[07:01] (Flashback) Gi**
If you don't want to go
to school then just don't!
**[07:06] (Flashback) R**
I'll tell him.
**[07:08] (Flashback) R**
I'll make him listen.
**[07:38] (Flashback) R**
Can I come in?
**[07:43] (Flashback) M**
I don't care.
**[07:50] (Flashback) M**
Did you come to yell at me?
**[07:52] (Flashback) R**
Nope.
**[07:53] (Flashback) R**
I think it's important to
have something you like.
**[07:56] (Flashback) R**
But I wish you wouldn't make Mom
or the school worry so much.
**[08:03] (Flashback) M**
You're smart, Sis, so...
**[08:11] (Flashback) M**
You need to put a bandage on that first.
**[08:13] (Flashback) R**
It's fine.
**[08:16] (Flashback) M**
You're smart, but you
always do stuff like this.
**[08:22] (Flashback) R**
Thank you.
**[08:27] (Flashback) M**
I don't care about them.
**[08:30] (Flashback) R**
Aww... don't say you don't
care about Mom and Dad.
**[08:35] (Flashback) R**
That's not good.
**[08:36] (Flashback) R**
And...
**[08:40] (Flashback) M**
Just say it,
**[08:41] (Flashback) M**
if there's something you want to say.
**[08:43] (Flashback) R**
Um... Well...
**[08:46] (Flashback) R**
Well...
**[08:48] (Flashback) M**
Just say it!
**[08:51] (Flashback) M**
God, you're such a pain.
**[08:53] (Flashback) R**
No! Don't get mad at me.
**[08:56] (Flashback) ---**
Um...
**[08:58] (Flashback) R**
If you don't care about Mom and Dad...
**[09:01] (Flashback) ---**
Um...
**[09:02] (Flashback) R**
At least don't make your big sister worry.
**[09:07] (Flashback) R**
Could you do that?
**[09:13] (Flashback) R**
I'm so embarrassed!
**[09:18] (Flashback) M**
Sis...
**[09:20] (Flashback) R**
It hurts!
**[09:21] (Flashback) R**
It hurts!
**[09:23] (Flashback) M**
Jeez, you're such a...
**[09:26] (Flashback) M**
You okay?
**[09:30] (Flashback) R**
I'm no good after all.
**[09:33] (Flashback) M**
So you are okay.
**[09:34] (Flashback) R**
I'm no good... I'm just no good.
**[09:38] (Flashback) R**
But if you were to let me
hold you like I used to...
**[09:43] (Flashback) R**
I think I'd get better.
**[09:46] (Flashback) M**
Are you stupid?
**[09:49] (Flashback) R**
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
**[09:51] (Flashback) M**
You're such a pain.
**[09:54] (Flashback) M**
Do it!
**[09:55] (Flashback) R**
Yay!
**[09:58] (Flashback) R**
Masaru.
**[10:04] (Flashback) R**
Masaru... you're so nice. I love you.
**[10:09] (Flashback) M**
I don't really...
**[10:12] M**
* Without me, Sis will only*
* push herself too hard.*
**[10:17] M**
*So I...*
**[10:19] (Flashback) M**
Sis!
**[10:21] (Flashback) Background**
It's dangerous!
**[10:23] (Flashback) Background**
Take this!
**[10:24] (Flashback) R**
Watch out!
**[10:29] (Flashback) M**
Sis... Sis!
**[10:35] (Flashback) R**
It's okay.
**[10:37] (Flashback) R**
Big Sis is here for you... okay?
**[10:52] R**
Fate will protect us...
**[10:55] R**
Protect Masaru.
**[10:59] R**
I know it.
**[11:02] M**
*I'm the one who'll protect us.*
**[11:20] T**
I need to charge more.
**[11:24] T**
Does it hurt?
**[11:32] T**
I'll make things mesh!
**[11:41] (Flashback) Gu**
*That isn't Takatsuki Musubu, your sister.*
**[11:53] T**
If I can get close from a blind spot,
I can make this work.
**[12:00] T**
Koyori?
**[12:01] T**
Let's go!
**[12:10] M**
Event: Bind of Prometheus.
**[12:13] M**
And then use the text of Death Gaze Volcano.
**[12:19] M**
That's your dead end!
**[12:27] M**
Approach with Flame Emperor,
the Dragon of Burning Heavens!
**[12:50] M**
It's over...
**[12:55] R**
This is for the best.
**[12:57] R**
If you won't get hurt, this is for the best.
**[13:01] M**
Sis...
**[13:05] R**
The Ziggurat isn't disappearing?
**[13:07] R**
We're not done yet, Masaru.
**[13:09] M**
Yeah.
**[13:10] M**
I feel bad for them, but...
**[13:15] M**
*I'm just like my sister.*
**[13:21] (Flashback) Gi**
Brother...
**[13:23] (Flashback) Gi**
Don't let go of my hand...
**[13:35] T**
Koyori...
**[13:40] T**
Run.
**[13:41] T**
At this rate, you'll also...
**[13:49] T**
Koyori...
**[14:01] T**
It's true that I saw Musubu in you.
**[14:05] T**
I was using you as a replacement.
**[14:11] T**
But we mesh.
**[14:13] T**
I'll protect you.
**[14:16] T**
I'll fight for you!
**[14:32] T**
What happened?
**[14:34] T**
The location changed?
**[14:37] T**
But the Ziggurat...
**[14:40] M**
Event: Hellfire Blood Rain.
**[14:54] T**
Can you maybe tell how those attacks work?
**[15:02] T**
Okay.
**[15:03] T**
Lead me, Koyori!
**[15:26] T**
*Attacks are coming just like Koyori tells me.*
**[15:30] T**
*I can dodge them!*
**[15:34] T**
It's meshing!
**[15:43] M**
Their movements changed?
**[15:45] M**
No...
**[15:46] M**
They know what I'm going to do.
**[15:48] M**
Did she figure that out just from that fight?
**[15:52] M**
Flame Emperor can't match that speed.
**[15:57] M**
What cards do I have left?
**[16:00] M**
I see...
**[16:02] M**
If I'm always making the best move,
**[16:05] M**
that makes me easy to read, huh?
**[16:10] M**
Sis, I'm sorry.
**[16:11] M**
This was my mistake.
**[16:13] M**
I relied too much on your power.
**[16:18] R**
Tazuna-kun...
**[16:24] T**
President Lily, will you stop this?
**[16:27] R**
No!
**[16:29] T**
I don't want to fight! I won't hurt you!
**[16:34] R**
If you say that, I can believe it.
**[16:38] R**
I don't want to fight either.
**[16:41] M**
Then, Sis...
**[16:43] R**
But there's a wish I want to come true.
**[16:46] R**
I want to protect, and I want to win!
**[16:51] M**
I see...
**[16:52] (Flashback) Gi**
Lily, you two are actually...
**[16:53] M**
I see. Mom and Dad's...
**[16:54] R**
No.
**[16:56] R**
That doesn't matter!
**[16:59] R**
That's not it!
**[17:01] R**
I...
**[17:03] ---**
I... I love you, Masaru!
**[17:10] R**
I love you, Masaru!
**[17:13] R**
So I want to win the battle, and...
**[17:30] M**
Let's fight after all.
**[17:32] M**
Let's win, Sis.
**[17:41] M**
We'll end this!
**[17:48] T**
We can't dodge.
**[17:49] T**
Let's go, Koyori.
**[18:02] M**
Event: Flame Pain!
**[18:05] M**
I won't lose. I'm the Dead End Emperor!
**[18:09] T**
Let's go, Koyori!
**[18:10] T**
With you by my side I've got nothing to fear!
**[18:13] M**
I've got four cards left.
**[18:18] T**
I'll use this to get close.
**[18:22] M**
I can't summon fast enough...
**[18:24] M**
so I'll attack directly for a dead end!
**[18:33] R**
You're out of cards!
**[18:34] R**
You've done enough.
**[18:37] M**
Sis...?
**[18:40] R**
I don't want to see you getting hurt anymore.
**[18:48] M**
Give me your tarot cards.
**[18:54] M**
Believe in me.
**[19:01] M**
This is it...
**[19:03] M**
This is my last turn!
**[19:15] T**
Koyori!
**[19:29] M**
Not good enough...
**[19:38] M**
Thanks.
**[19:46] R**
Masaru!
**[19:57] ---**
Masaru!
**[19:59] R**
Masaru, hang in there!
**[20:01] R**
Masaru!
**[20:02] T**
That's strange. The fight ended,
**[20:04] T**
but the Ziggurat's still here?
**[20:14] T**
*It disappeared?*
**[20:24] M**
Sorry... I lost.
**[20:26] R**
No.
**[20:27] R**
I should apologize.
**[20:29] R**
I made you go through this
because of my selfish request.
**[20:35] R**
And I was being weird when
I said I love you...
**[20:40] M**
You are weird, Sis.
**[20:42] M**
Really weird.
**[20:44] M**
And I'm weird for loving you.
**[20:47] M**
What are you going to do to fix this?
**[20:50] R**
Masaru...
**[20:52] R**
I... I...
**[22:41] R**
We're home.
**[22:42] Gi**
Lily! Masaru!
**[22:44] Gi**
You're back?
**[22:46] R**
Yeah...
**[22:49] R**
Mom and I have to talk to you.
**[22:52] ---**
We'll be right there.
**[22:54] M**
How many years has it been since
they've been in the same room?
**[22:58] R**

So, what did you want to talk about?
**[00:18] Gu**
Did you think it was just shumai?
**[00:20] Gu**
Today we've got pork buns, too!
**[00:24] T**
I have Koyori waiting outside.
**[00:27] Gu**
We have data on how far apart you can get,
**[00:32] Gu**
so we can talk with her out
of the room for a little.

**[00:36] Gu**
I'm really sorry I never
thought about a cell phone.
***SIGN*** I'm Makihara
**[00:40] Gu**
It looks I've got a bad habit of
only thinking about the future.
**[00:45] T**
There's something I wanted to ask today.
**[00:48] T**
Um...
**[00:50] T**
Makihara-sensei, were you a Hand Shaker?
**[00:55] Gu**
I didn't mean to hide it.
**[00:58] Gu**
That's right.
**[01:00] Gu**
I was once a Hand Shaker.
**[01:06] Gu**
But I never got to meet God.
**[01:09] Gu**
I lost the person whose hand
I was supposed to hold.
**[01:16] Gu**
Oh, they're not dead!
**[01:20] Gu**
Um, well...
**[01:21] Gu**
A lot of stuff happened.
**[01:25] T**
Why did you put Koyori to sleep?
**[01:29] T**
And why me...?
**[01:33] Gu**
Koyori-kun
**[01:35] ---**
was born that way.
**[01:38] Gu**
She lost her memories and the
ability to speak later though.
**[01:42] T**
It's not because she was always asleep?
**[01:46] T**
But it's true...
**[01:48] T**
I see.
**[01:49] Gu**
I should've told you that, too.
**[01:53] Gu**
I don't know the precise cause either.
**[01:56] Gu**
But she was born a Hand Shaker,
**[02:01] Gu**
and there was once someone
whose hand she held.
**[02:05] T**
Who was that?
**[02:06] Gu**
I don't even know where they are now.
**[02:09] Gu**
But if she loses the Hand Shaker
whose hand she's supposed to hold,
**[02:13] Gu**
Koyori-kun will disappear.
**[02:16] Gu**
So...
**[02:18] Gu**
That's why I did that to her.
**[02:21] Gu**
All I could do was put her
to sleep and keep her alive.
**[02:28] Gu**
So...
**[02:30] T**
The fact that you were able to hold
Koyori-kun's hand made me very happy.
**[02:36] T**
What I want to do and what I should
do are meshing. That's all.
**[02:43] T**
I understand. I'll be going then.
**[02:47] Gu**
The school's busy with the
school festival, right?
**[02:52] Gu**
What about the shumai and the pork buns?
**[02:55] T**
I'll just take this.
**[02:57] T**
All I've got to do at the festival
is advertise and help in the store.
**[03:03] T**
It's nothing big.
**[03:06] T**
Bye.
**[03:14] Gu**
He knew about me...
**[03:17] Gu**
Who told him?
**[03:18] Gu**
I guess there are people out there...
**[03:22] Gu**
My old friends and enemies.
**[03:26] T**
Sorry.
**[03:28] T**
You feeling okay?
**[03:32] T**
This is from Makihara-sensei.
**[03:38] T**
You looked at mine a lot, too.
**[03:40] T**
You like looking, huh?
**[03:42] Gu**
I thought you'd be here!
**[03:44] T**
Tomoki!
**[03:46] Gu**
Trouble!
**[03:49] T**
What is? You need something fixed?
**[03:50] Gu**
No, President Lily!
**[03:53] Gu**
You're friends, right?
**[03:55] Gu**
Talk to her for me!
**[03:58] T**
Now?

Yes?
**[06:09] Gu**
It's Takatsuki Tazuna.
**[06:11] Gu**
Can I come in?
**[06:12] R**
Yes, please do.
**[06:18] Gi**
I'll go submit this paperwork.
**[06:20] R**
Okay, thanks.
**[06:24] R**
Welcome, Tazuna-kun.
**[06:25] T**
Hi...
**[06:27] R**
What's wrong?
**[06:29] T**
Um, someone from my class
asked me to come here...
**[06:33] T**
for something to do with the school festival.
**[06:35] R**
Yes.
**[06:37] R**
Is there anything I can do to help?
**[06:39] T**
Um... President Lily, about what happened...
**[06:43] T**
I have my own reason for fighting,
**[06:46] T**
so I can't apologize, but...
**[06:51] R**
No, I was the one who
attacked without mercy...
**[06:56] R**
Tazuna-kun, Koyori-chan...
**[06:59] T**
We're the ones who did that.
**[07:02] T**
I ruined your... um... wish...
**[07:07] R**
That's okay now.
**[07:10] R**
My wish is...
**[07:12] R**
Um...
**[07:15] R**
My parents are separating.
**[07:17] T**
Is that okay?
**[07:20] T**
Do you want to talk about it?
**[07:21] R**
No, that's not my wish!
**[07:25] R**
It's sad, but...
**[07:28] R**
Um...
**[07:30] R**
Destruction. Ending.
**[07:32] R**
Reversed, it means a new beginning.
**[07:35] R**
It's certain that they're
splitting up, and that's sad.
**[07:39] R**
But you know...
**[07:41] R**
When I think that maybe they're able
to be honest about their feelings now,
**[07:45] R**
that makes me happy.
**[07:49] R**
And I...
**[07:53] R**
I'm fine!
**[07:55] R**
I'll talk about it some other time.
**[07:59] T**
Yeah.
**[08:01] R**
So what did you need, Tazuna-kun?
**[08:04] T**
Well...
**[08:08] (Flashback) T**
You can't get ingredients?
**[08:10] (Flashback) T**
Yeah.
**[08:12] (Flashback) T**
We're having a little booth, right?
**[08:14] (Flashback) T**
With light snacks.
**[08:16] (Flashback) T**
And Maeda said he could get
us ingredients for cheap,
**[08:21] (Flashback) ---**
so we let him handle it.
**[08:22] (Flashback) T**
He was setting the prices, too.
**[08:23] (Flashback) T**
But his contact changed jobs a while ago...
**[08:28] (Flashback) T**
So the whole plan fell apart?
**[08:30] (Flashback) Gu**
That's why we're coming to you.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Gu**
You know President Lily, so can't you... um...
**[08:36] (Flashback) Gu**
Do... something, you know?
**[08:38] (Flashback) T**
That's crazy, and I don't
know what "something" is.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Gu**
Please!
**[08:43] (Flashback) Gu**
I told the rest of the
class to leave it to me!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Gu**
I told them that!
**[08:49] (Flashback) Gu**
I'm begging you, please!
**[08:49] (Flashback) T**
No, but...
**[08:52] R**
That is a problem, yes.
**[08:55] R**
There's less than a week to go.
**[08:57] T**
I know it's selfish,
but I don't want our class to fail.
**[09:06] R**
I'm sorry.
**[09:07] R**
I was just thinking that
that's just like you.
**[09:09] R**
When you see people in trouble,
you repair things.
**[09:12] T**
My hobbies are just meshing
with what's good for everyone.
**[09:16] R**
Leave it to Student Council
President Houjou Lily!
**[09:20] R**
Can you come back tomorrow?
**[09:25] R**
I'm sorry!
**[09:27] R**
I'm sorry!
**[09:28] T**
No, it's fine.
**[09:30] R**
I was so confident when I
told you to leave it to me.
**[09:34] R**
Masaru got really mad at me.
**[09:38] R**
"You don't know anybody who
can get you cheap food.
**[09:40] R**
Don't make offers like that!
**[09:42] R**
Are you using your head?"
**[09:48] T**
I was the one who asked
for something so difficult.
**[09:49] R**
But he said that...
**[09:51] R**
because he's worried about me, right?
**[09:55] R**
Big sister can tell!
**[10:01] T**
Connections, huh?
**[10:02] T**
If we had something like that...
**[10:04] R**
Masaru! You're so nice!
**[10:07] T**
Oh? We do?
***SIGN*** Cocktail Corn
**[10:13] C**
I see.
**[10:16] C**
So you want to know if there's a way
we can get you ingredients for cheap?
**[10:22] C**
That's it.
**[10:24] T**
I know it's selfish, but...
**[10:26] C**
Sure.
**[10:28] H**
Really, Senpai? Just like that?
**[10:31] C**
If we start now we can
get them to you in time.
**[10:34] C**
It's not like you need that much.
**[10:39] C**
It's good for us, too.
**[10:41] C**
So it's not a problem.
**[10:43] C**
If we can pull this off,
**[10:44] C**
it'll help us sell your
school that new cafeteria.
**[10:47] C**
And I can use that as a reason
to give stuff to you cheap.
**[10:49] C**
Jeez!
**[10:50] C**
It's all part of a cunning plan, you see!
**[10:54] H**
Sorry I'm not as smart as you.
**[10:56] C**
It's not that big a deal.
**[10:59] T**
Thanks.
**[11:01] T**
That's a big help.
**[11:02] C**
It's fine, really!
**[11:04] H**
You and I are friends, after all.
**[11:07] C**
Why are you acting like
you're the one who did it?
**[11:15] H**
Senpai, you've got a
wicked grin on your face.
**[11:18] C**
I'm not thinking of anything bad.
**[11:21] C**

use this for something else!

**[11:49] Gu**
You really helped me!
**[11:51] Gu**
You got the ingredients
cheaper than planned.
**[11:53] Gu**
It means we've got lots of money left.
**[11:56] T**
I just happened to know someone.
**[11:58] Gu**
I didn't know I could count on you
for things other than repairs.

Now I won't look like a liar.

Thanks, Takatsuki-kun!
**[12:11] T**
No, um...
**[12:13] Gu**
You've kinda changed.
**[12:15] Gu**
Is it thanks to Koyori-chan?
**[12:18] Gu**
You're easier to talk to than before.
**[12:19] Gi**
Oh, no!
**[12:20] Gi**
That's bad!
**[12:21] Gi**
That's really bad!
**[12:24] Gu**
The bad news is gone.
**[12:25] Gu**
My friend, Takatsuki Tazuna,
has taken care of it.
**[12:28] Gi**
No!
**[12:30] Gi**
All the chefs broke their arms
while practicing secretly!
**[12:36] Gu**
What did they do?
**[12:39] Gu**
So we've lost all the people
who can cook in our class?
**[12:42] Gi**
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
**[12:46] Gi**
Going to the mountains
to train was a mistake.
**[12:48] Gi**
The mountains?
**[12:55] T**
Koyori... You can't mean...
**[13:10] T**
Are you really going to do it?
**[13:26] T**
What kind of cooking videos
have you been watching?
***SIGN*** Standing Family Restaurant
**[13:30] (Flashback) Gi**
Huh? Akutagawa-san can cook?
**[13:34] (Flashback) Gi**
It's not simple.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Gi**
Cooking is about... the heart.
**[13:39] (Flashback) R**
You can't do it yourself!
**[13:41] (Flashback) T**
I guess we could let her try.
**[13:44] (Flashback) T**
If you can give us some time every day...
**[13:53] T**
Fingers in when you hold it.
**[13:55] T**
Fingers in when you hold it.
**[13:56] Gi**
Don't push too hard on the blade.
**[13:59] T**
Does this have anything to do with cooking?
**[14:03] T**
It's starting to look like real cooking!
**[14:06] Gu**
This burnt stuff is the
secret ingredient, right?
**[14:07] Gi**
It's your first time, so it's okay!
**[14:11] Gu**
This color is... avant-guard, huh?
**[14:12] Gi**
It's your second time, so it's okay!
**[14:15] Gu**
That's right!
**[14:15] Gu**
That's right.
**[14:17] Gu**
Good work!
**[14:20] Gu**
Wow, it tastes like
something at a restaurant!
**[14:21] Gi**
Yay!
**[14:25] Gu**
It's delicious!
**[14:27] Gi**
Oh, honey.
**[14:37] Gu**
Wow!
**[14:39] Gu**
This is good!
**[14:40] Gi**
We can do this!
**[14:41] Gi**
They're all main dishes!
**[14:42] Gi**
I see.
**[14:44] Gi**
It tastes okay.
**[14:46] Gi**
But on the festival day,
are you going to be fast enough?
**[14:49] Gi**
We can just help her then!
**[14:52] Gi**
I think we can do it!
**[14:53] Gi**
Is anybody else free?
**[14:55] Gi**
Even with broken arms, we can at least help.

There, there...
**[15:41] C**
Anyway, this is for Koyori-chan.
**[15:45] C**
I can borrow her for a minute, right?
**[15:49] C**
Remember what I said?
**[16:02] C**
Well, Tazuna-kun?
**[16:05] C**
It's cute, non-flammable,
and doesn't get stained!
**[16:09] C**
Centeotl's special Japanese
clothes for cooking!
**[16:13] H**
Yeah, she's cute.
**[16:15] C**
Why are you saying that?
**[16:17] H**
No, sorry...
**[16:19] C**
It's too late for apologies!
**[16:21] H**
I'm sorry!
**[16:22] H**
I'm sorry!
**[16:24] H**
I bet you'd look good in it, too!
**[16:29] T**
Koyori.
**[16:37] T**
You look good in it.
**[16:45] C**
Cute couple, huh?
**[16:48] H**
I'm jealous.
**[17:06] Gu**
Thanks.
**[17:08] Gu**
We're really busy thanks to you.
**[17:10] Gi**
People like the food, too.
**[17:12] Gu**
There are clearly people who
came to see Koyori-chan, as well.
**[17:18] T**
Are you tired?
**[17:21] T**
Okay, hang in there.
**[17:25] Gi**
Oh, no!
***SIGN*** Standing Family Restaurant
**[17:26] Gi**
The flame disappeared!
**[17:31] Gi**
It's no good. I can't get it to light.
**[17:33] T**
It's old,
**[17:34] T**
so I was hoping something
like this wouldn't happen.
**[17:38] T**
Can I do some emergency repairs?
**[17:40] Gu**
But...
**[17:41] Gu**
you and Koyori-chan have to cook.
**[17:44] T**
You can do it, right?
**[17:46] T**
Get me a screwdriver.
**[17:52] T**
Here.
**[18:07] T**
Okay, it's fixed!
**[18:12] Gu**
They're meshing, huh?
**[18:15] R**
Tazuna-kun, Koyori-chan!
**[18:18] T**
President Lily.
**[18:20] T**
And...
**[18:24] C**
Hello.
**[18:25] C**
I'm not going to apologize, but...
**[18:27] T**
Neither will I.
**[18:30] C**
No, not now.
**[18:32] C**
It's embarrassing. Stop it.
**[18:36] R**
The Star.
**[18:38] R**
Hope.
**[18:40] R**
You're blushing, huh?
**[18:43] R**
Koyori-chan, let's exchange contact info.
**[18:50] R**
Okay, if there's anything
I can help with, I will.
**[18:54] M**
The student council just called you, right?
**[19:00] M**
Is there anything I can do?
**[19:02] M**
I can't cook.
**[19:04] T**
Okay. Ask Tomoki over there.
**[19:07] T**
We need more people for a lot of things.
**[19:11] M**
Let's play Precious Memories again.
**[19:13] M**
The result was a dead end, but...
**[19:18] R**
Me, too!
**[19:18] M**
You get going, Sis.
**[19:20] R**
Masaru!
**[19:27] T**
Okay, thank you.
**[19:30] Gi**
We've still got plenty more!
**[19:39] T**
It was a busy two days, huh?
**[19:44] T**
Was it fun?
**[19:47] T**
Me, too, I guess.
**[19:49] T**
It meshed, somehow.
**[19:51] Gu**
Hey, good work.
**[19:53] Gu**
I heard your class won the
prize for best booth, huh?
**[20:00] Gu**
Someone from my lab was
talking about you, Koyori-kun.
**[20:04] Gu**
They said there was a cute
girl in Japanese clothes.
**[20:07] T**
That was Chizuru-san's idea.
**[20:10] Gu**
Tazuna-kun, thank you, really.
**[20:14] Gu**
Okay, don't stay out late.
**[20:18] Gu**
I'm busy, so I'll be going.
**[20:21] T**
Um...
**[20:26] T**
What's wrong?
**[20:27] ---**
Koyori?
**[20:33] T**
You made this?
**[20:39] T**
They're all main dishes!
**[20:40] T**
Let's eat!
**[20:46] R**
Did it go well?
**[20:47] Gu**
Just fine.
**[20:48] B**
Hey, Rei-kun, there's a concert!
**[20:50] Gu**
Yeah, that looks good.
**[20:51] Gu**
Let's take a look.
**[20:58] H**
She looked good, huh?
**[20:59] C**
Right? Good job, me!
**[21:04] R**
Masaru.

*The diva stands on a bridge.*

**[00:53] Gu**
Damn it...
**[00:55] Gi**
The 28th American President,
Thomas Woodrow Wilson,
**[01:01] Gi**
once said, "There are
no coincidences in fate.
**[01:04] Gi**
Before humans encounter a particular fate,
**[01:06] Gi**
they make it for themselves."
**[01:09] Gi**
In other words,
you lost because I was too strong.
**[01:14] Gi**
Was it carved into your soul?
**[01:18] Gu**
Great work!
**[01:20] Gu**
Nice job, Kodama-chan.
**[01:23] Gu**
Here, have a moist towel. Good work.
**[01:27] Gi**
Hibiki-san.
**[01:28] Gi**
Disinfectant.
**[01:30] Gu**
Sure, Kodama-chan!
**[01:32] Gu**
An idol's handshakes are only for her fans!
**[01:35] Gu**
The way you always
remember the little things...
**[01:38] Gu**
That's just what I expect from you, Kodama-chan.
**[01:40] Gu**
It was carved into my soul.
**[01:42] Gi**
There's no point carving it into my manager.
**[01:44] Gu**
Also, Kodama-chan, I hate to say
this when you're busy, but...
**[01:49] Gu**
We've already got our next gig lined up.
**[01:54] Gi**
I'm leaving the scheduling to you, Hibiki-san.
**[01:57] Gi**
Napoleon Bonaparte,
the Emperor of France, once said,
**[02:01] Gi**
"Happiness is having a job that
matches your wishes and abilities."
**[02:07] Gi**
In other words, keep getting me work.
**[02:11] Gu**
That's just what I wanted
to hear, Kodama-chan!
**[02:13] Gu**
So deep!
**[02:14] Gu**
I wish your fans could have heard that!
**[02:18] Gi**
Yeah.
**[02:20] Gi**
Maybe we should invite
our eighth opponents
**[02:24] Gi**
to a special concert where they can
have Awaza Kodama all to themselves.
**[02:28] Gu**
That's our next offer.
**[04:08] Gi**
So you managed to make it
through the first song.
**[04:12] Gi**
You know the difference in our strengths
and keep fighting instead of giving up.
**[04:15] Gi**
I love it when people do that,
Takatsuki Tazuna-kun.
**[04:19] Gi**
Akutagawa Koyori-chan.
**[04:21] T**
This attack wasn't a coincidence after all.
**[04:24] Gi**
But the English poet Geoffrey
Chaucer once said,
**[04:28] Gi**
"He who knows himself is a sage."
**[04:31] Gi**
In other words, if you try to
be a sage, you can't beat me.
**[04:37] Gi**
I think you need the courage
to admit that, too.
**[04:44] T**
Hide once I give the signal.
**[04:47] T**
I'll look for a chance to charge.
**[04:49] Gi**
The concert's back on.
**[04:52] Gi**
*English poet John Dryden once said,*
**[04:55] Gi**
*"Be slow in deciding, but fast in execution!"*
**[04:58] Gi**
*That quick decision was amazing!*
**[05:04] T**
She's not like the other Hand Shakers.
**[05:09] Gi**
The song I'm about to sing is just for you.
**[05:13] Gi**
Awaza Kodama, singing for just two people.
**[05:17] Gi**
It's a very valuable opportunity.
**[05:19] T**
Awaza Kodama... I've heard
that name somewhere.
**[05:22] T**
Wait... She just gave me her true name!
**[05:24] Gu**
Wait, you don't know Kodama-chan?
**[05:31] T**
When did he get up there?
**[05:32] Gu**
Wait, Kodama-chan!
**[05:34] Gu**
These two don't know how
impossible what they're seeing is.
**[05:39] Gu**
Poor things!
**[05:40] Gu**
Poor, ignorant things!
**[05:42] T**
*He's taking pity on us.*
**[05:44] Gi**
Hibiki-san, that's a bad habit of yours.
**[05:47] Gi**
French philosopher Blaise Pascal once said,
**[05:51] Gi**
"Do not fear ignorance.
Fear false knowledge."
**[05:56] Gi**
It's not a sin for them to be ignorant,
**[05:59] Gi**
because that ignorance means innocence.
**[06:02] Gi**
They have pure souls as white as lilies,
**[06:05] Gi**
and I'm about to carve the name
**[06:08] Gi**
Awaza Kodama into them.
**[06:11] Gi**
And carve it deep!
**[06:13] Gu**
A super idol!
**[06:14] Gu**
How wonderful, Kodama-chan!
**[06:15] Gu**
It was carved into me!
**[06:16] Gu**
Excuse me.
**[06:17] Gu**
Good work!
**[06:19] Gu**
I'm terribly sorry about earlier.
**[06:21] Gu**
I am Moriyama Hibiki from Echo Productions.
**[06:25] Gi**
Hibiki-san!
**[06:27] Gu**
I wasn't on the job!
**[06:29] Gu**
That was just reflex. I'm really sorry.
**[06:31] Gu**
Really sorry!
**[06:32] T**
No...
**[06:33] Gu**
Sorry for bothering you.
**[06:36] T**
If you want a handshake, sure.
**[06:39] T**
An idol's singing voice exists for her fans,
**[06:41] T**
and so does her palm.
**[06:44] T**
I disinfect with alcohol after
touching my manager's hand,
**[06:47] T**
so he doesn't count.
**[06:49] T**
Now, let's get back to it!
**[06:51] T**
Let it resound within you!
**[06:53] T**
Carve it into your soul!
**[06:56] T**
Sonic Sword!
**[07:10] T**
*It doesn't mesh...*
**[07:12] T**
*How did things end up like this...*
**[07:16] T**
*How did this happen, again?*
**[07:18] Gu**
Go shopping with these.
**[07:21] Gu**
The two of you.
**[07:22] Gu**
Have fun.
**[07:25] Gu**
Actually, you know,
**[07:27] Gu**
I don't know what to buy for girl's clothes.
**[07:31] T**
Neither do I...
**[07:37] T**
It's getting late, we need
to decide what we're buying.
**[07:42] T**
Sorry, Koyori, I made you waste
time walking to a bunch of places.
**[07:46] T**
Makihara-sensei shouldn't have
just put me in charge of this.
**[07:49] T**
I don't know how this works!
**[07:53] T**
You want me to choose?
**[07:56] T**
Oh, I know.
**[07:57] T**
I can ask President Lily!
**[08:00] T**
You swapped contact info a while ago.
**[08:04] T**
You want me to choose?
**[08:12] T**
I guess I'll do my best.
**[08:14] T**
*That's right. I went shopping with a girl...*
**[08:17] ---**
*with Koyori... for the first time.*
**[08:20] T**
* It was the first time I'd eaten ice*
* cream on the street with a girl.*
**[08:25] T**
* It was the first time I'd*
* chosen a girl's clothes.*
**[08:29] T**
*I never thought*
**[08:30] ---**
*that would be a part of my life.*
**[08:33] T**
*It was fun.*
**[08:35] T**
*If I could go somewhere else with Koyori...*
**[08:38] T**
*This time, I won't let go.*
**[08:51] Gi**
Takatsuki Tazuna-kun and
Akutagawa Koyori-chan, right?
**[08:55] H**
She knows us?
**[08:59] H**
*I was having fun, but...*
**[09:09] H**
What is this power?
**[09:11] H**
There are no openings in it!
**[09:13] H**
Which means...
**[09:14] H**
I can't see the other one.
**[09:17] H**
But at this rate, I can push through!
**[09:20] H**
I'll have to do it!
**[09:25] Gi**
Russian author Maxim Gorky once said,
**[09:29] Gi**
"Talent is believing in yourself,
and your own power!"
**[09:34] T**
Single Gear is being pushed back so easily!
**[09:43] Gi**
I believe in my power more than anybody.
**[09:47] Gi**
The power of Awaza Kodama!
**[09:50] T**
What is this strength?
**[09:53] T**
The power of her Nimrod is too different!
**[10:04] T**
She let us go.
**[10:06] Gu**
Okay, Kodama-chan!
**[10:08] Gu**
Okay! That's an okay!
**[10:10] T**
A trap?
**[10:11] Gu**
Excuse me, excuse me.
**[10:13] Gu**
This is the end!
**[10:14] Gu**
Hold still a moment.
**[10:20] Gu**
Okay, thank you for forming a line.
**[10:25] Gi**
The concert's not over yet.
**[10:27] Gi**
You're in such a hurry.
**[10:29] Gi**
Time can be gold or lead,
depending on how you use it.
**[10:34] Gi**
Those are the words of Antoine Prévost.
**[10:38] Gi**
The concerts of Awaza Kodama
are definitely gold, right?
**[10:43] T**
Koyori, hang on tight!
**[10:52] T**
This is a true combo attack!
**[11:00] T**
Hibiki-san amplifies my shock waves!
**[11:09] Gi**
The 28th American President,
Thomas Woodrow Wilson,
**[11:14] Gi**
once said, "There are
no coincidences in fate.
**[11:17] Gi**
Before humans encounter a particular fate,
**[11:19] Gi**
they make it for themselves."
**[11:22] Gi**
Now, what is the fate that
you've made for yourself?
**[11:26] Gi**
To fight? To run?
**[11:31] Gi**
I'll be waiting for the encore.
**[11:46] Gi**
If you don't block this
with everything you've got,
**[11:48] Gi**
you really will die.
**[12:11] Gu**
Good work, Kodama-chan.
**[12:14] Gu**
Another easy victory.
**[12:15] Gu**
It was carved into my soul.
**[12:19] Gu**
Kodama-chan?
**[12:23] Gi**
In the end, they got us.
**[12:26] Gi**
Looks like they want to see my concert again.
**[12:29] Gi**
For an idol, that's a great honor.
**[12:41] Gu**
*Koyori-kun!*
**[12:42] Gu**
*Koyori-kun, what's wrong?*
**[12:44] Gu**
*What happened?*
**[12:45] Gu**
*Where's Tazuna-kun?*
***SIGN*** Makihara-sensei
***SIGN*** Help
**[13:03] T**
I should've lost there...
**[13:09] T**
I just got lucky.
***SIGN*** Water-Free Ethanol
**[13:31] Gu**
So you managed to escape the battle zone?
**[13:34] Gu**
Smart move.
**[13:36] T**
Their strength was literally insane.
**[13:40] T**
It meshed...
**[13:41] T**
And it was like their Nimrod
was infecting the Ziggurat...
**[13:47] T**
Until now, the place we've
been in has changed, but....
**[13:50] Gu**
The Nimrods have various
effects on the Ziggurat.
**[13:55] Gu**
But, if their Nimrod is infecting
the Ziggurat itself,
**[14:00] Gu**
it's probably a Hand Shaker
who's getting closer to God.
**[14:04] Gu**
The Hand Shakers gain the
powers of those they defeat.
**[14:08] Gu**
If you take out several opponents,
**[14:10] ---**
your Nimrod starts to infect the Ziggurat.
**[14:13] Gu**
I saw it a long time ago, just once.
**[14:16] Gu**
Really, you did well to even escape.
**[14:22] T**
I wasn't strong enough...
**[14:25] T**
I have to think... and think... and win.
**[14:31] T**
If I don't win, Koyori will...
**[14:34] Gu**
They're tough opponents,
though, those Hand Shakers.
**[14:39] Gu**
You can't beat them right now.
**[14:42] T**
But I have to fight anyway!
**[14:47] Gu**
It's obvious they were
coming after you directly.
**[14:51] Gu**
They should know that you escaped, too.
**[14:54] T**
Next time I won't be able to run.
**[14:57] T**
Don't worry.
**[14:58] T**
I'll be fine.
**[15:11] Gi**
I've never let one escape before...
**[15:13] Gi**
I fought yesterday and I've got
a concert today. It's rough!
**[15:17] Gi**
That's what makes it worth doing, though.
**[15:19] Gi**
Well, it's always best to be busy.
**[15:21] Gu**
I'm back.
**[15:24] Gu**
Oh, Kodama-chan,
**[15:25] Gu**
I got the water you asked for.
**[15:28] Gi**
Thanks.
**[15:28] Gu**
I also got pudding you didn't ask for!
**[15:32] Gi**
Thanks for that, too!
**[15:33] Gu**
Are you tired?
**[15:36] Gu**
Being both an idol and a Hand Shaker.
**[15:38] Gu**
Should I adjust our schedule?
**[15:41] Gi**
It's nothing!
**[15:44] Gi**
American theologist Edward Young said,
**[15:48] ---**
"Wasting time means having
time stolen from you."
**[15:51] Gi**
An idol who's so busy it could kill her
**[15:53] Gi**
doesn't have time to waste
with time thieves, right?
**[15:57] Gu**
That's my Kodama-chan!
**[15:59] Gu**
Then my job is to make your
scheduling work, isn't it?
**[16:04] Gi**
Don't you push yourself too hard either.
**[16:06] Gu**
Kodama-chan, you're so nice!
**[16:10] Gu**
Such a great song is being
carved into my soul!
**[16:12] Gi**
No, answer it.
**[16:13] Gu**
Yes, hello.
**[16:15] Gu**
This is Moriyama with Echo Productions.
**[16:18] Gu**
Yes.
**[16:18] ---**
Yes. Yes.
**[16:20] Gu**
No, not at all!
**[16:22] Gu**
Is there anything you can do?
**[16:24] Gu**
Yes...
**[16:26] Gu**
All right.
**[16:27] Gu**
Thank you so much.
**[16:31] Gi**
What's wrong?
**[16:33] Gi**
A problem, right?
**[16:34] Gu**
N-Not at all!
**[16:36] Gu**
Nothing at a—
**[16:37] Gu**
Yes...
**[16:38] Gi**
Tell me.
**[16:41] Gu**
It's about our next concert.
**[16:43] Gu**
They want to cancel it.
**[16:46] Gu**
President Nabeta got involved again.
**[16:50] Gu**
I'm sorry.
**[16:51] Gi**
Yeah, thanks.
**[16:54] Gi**
But it's not your fault.
**[16:58] Gi**
It's his fault for being angry
at us when he's in the wrong.
**[17:00] Gi**
He was the one who was inconsiderate.
**[17:04] Gi**
But I'm not worried at all.
**[17:07] Gi**
Oh, Teshirogi-kun again?
**[17:10] Gi**
He's really working hard, huh?
**[17:14] Gi**
These hands are for my fans.
**[17:16] Gi**
My voice is for my fans,
**[17:18] Gi**
and my smiles are for my fans.
**[17:20] Gi**
It's all for all of my fans.
**[17:23] Gi**
And, because of that,
**[17:24] ---**
I don't have time to get sad over
interference from my pathetic president.
**[17:28] Gi**
But is my talented manager
getting sad over it?
**[17:32] Gu**
You're right...
**[17:34] Gu**
You're right!
**[17:35] Gu**
That's my Kodama-chan!
**[17:37] Gu**
I'm so moved I could cry!
**[17:40] Gu**
It's carved into my soul!
**[17:43] Gi**
Don't cry.
**[17:47] Gi**
I'm busy with my Hand Shaker job, too...
**[17:51] Gi**
Next concert, I need to carve it
**[17:53] ---**
into the souls of Takatsuki
Tazuna-kun and Akutagawa Koyori-chan!
**[17:57] Gi**
I need to carve my songs into their souls.
**[18:01] Gi**
Okay, get me that schedule!
**[18:04] Gi**
Right, Kodama-chan.
**[18:05] Gi**
They say "idol" used to be a religious term.
**[18:09] Gi**
If idols are made in the image of God,
**[18:12] Gi**
it's natural for an idol to become a god.
**[18:15] Gi**
It's inevitable.
**[18:16] Gi**
I'm going to win.
**[18:18] Gi**
As an idol, and a Hand Shaker.
**[18:21] Gi**
Let's aim for God!
**[18:23] Gu**
Yup!
**[18:24] GI**
For the sake of our fans, too!
**[18:25] Gu**
Right, Kodama-chan!
**[18:51] Gu**
Huh?
**[18:53] Gu**
It's from Koyori-chan.
**[18:54] Gu**
She wants to talk to me?
**[18:56] Gu**
What is it?
**[18:57] Gu**
Of course, that's fine.
**[18:59] [Messenger] ---**
This is Koyori.
Sorry to contact you so late.
Good evening.
What's the matter?
Tazuna got hurt in a
Hand Shaker fight.
I'm worried he might
push himself too far.
**[19:00] Gu**
Tazuna-kun was hurt in a Hand Shaker fight?
**[19:05] Gu**
If I knew about Koyori-chan's body,
**[19:08] Gu**
would I not have fought?
**[19:11] Gu**
I see.
**[19:13] Gu**
She's upset that she doesn't
have a Nimrod, huh?
**[19:16] Gu**
That's right.
**[19:18] Gu**
If I was Koyori-chan...
**[19:22] Gu**
I didn't like how Masaru was
hurt for my sake in the battle.
**[19:27] Gu**
I couldn't stand having
my beloved brother hurt.
**[19:32] Gu**
I didn't want him to just keep protecting me.
**[19:34] Gu**
But my Nimrod was weak...
**[19:38] Gu**
All I could do was help Masaru.
**[19:41] Gu**
I lost to the two of them,
**[19:44] Gu**
but I learned what I could do for Masaru,
**[19:46] Gu**
and what Masaru was doing for me.
**[19:49] Gu**
We were able to understand each other.
**[19:51] Gu**
That's why I'm sure there's something
you can do for Tazuna-kun, too.
**[19:57] Gu**
He needs to notice himself.
**[19:59] Gu**
He needs to believe in you more.
**[20:02] Gu**
Masaru and I were able to do it.
**[20:05] M**
Sis?
**[20:08] M**
You were saying all that out loud...
**[20:10] M**
It was embarrassing to hear.
**[20:12] L**
I-It's not like that!
**[20:15] L**
That was, um...
**[20:19] M**
And why are you spending
so much time in my room?
**[20:23] L**
Because...
**[20:24] L**
I wanted to be with you.
**[23:10] L**
*You were with me when I woke up.*
**[23:14] L**
*You protected me when I knew nothing,*
**[23:17] L**
*and you guided me.*
**[23:19] L**
*You don't have to suffer alone anymore.*
**[23:21] L**
*You don't need to feel pain.*
**[23:23] L**
*If you can't fight,*
**[23:25] L**
*I will...*
**[23:27] L**
*And we will, together!*
**[23:28] ---**
* Next time on Hand Shakers,*

**[00:00] Gi**
German poet Friedrich von Schiller once said,
**[00:05] Gi**
"A courageous person thinks
of themselves last."
**[00:11] Gi**
I see.
**[00:13] Gi**
You're a courageous person, aren't you?
**[00:16] Gi**
I didn't expect you'd come to see me.
**[00:19] Gi**
Recklessness is courage.
**[00:21] Gi**
In response to your feelings,
**[00:23] Gi**
I, Awaza Kodama, will sing just for you!
**[00:29] T**
I'm counting on you, Single Gear!
**[00:46] Gi**
Now, let it resound within you.
**[00:49] Gi**
Carve it into your soul!
**[02:22] Gu**
His wounds aren't insignificant,
**[02:23] Gu**
and he does have a fever,
**[02:25] Gu**
but his life's in no danger.
**[02:28] Gu**
It's a result of getting hurt in the battle
**[02:32] Gu**
and jumping into the water while exhausted.
**[02:35] Gu**
Not only was his body kept
cold for several hours,
**[02:37] Gu**
bacteria probably got in through the wound.
**[02:41] Gu**
We can make any number of guesses,
**[02:44] ---**
but we don't know for sure.
**[02:48] T**
At a time like this...
**[02:50] Gu**
This is bad.
**[02:52] Gu**
Even though wounds sustained in the Ziggurat
are greatly reduced upon returning here,
**[02:57] Gu**
he took serious damage last time.
**[03:01] Gu**
For now, just think about getting better.
**[03:05] T**
Aren't I going to get worse?
**[03:07] T**
Am I just going to get better now?
**[03:09] Gu**
No. Even thinking as positively as possible,
**[03:12] Gu**
it's going to get worse.
**[03:15] T**
Then while I can still move...
**[03:17] Gu**
Tazuna-kun,
**[03:18] Gu**
you can't fight like this.
**[03:22] Gu**
And if you do fight
**[03:25] Gu**
it might kill you, even in the Ziggurat.
**[03:28] T**
The one whose life is at
risk here is Koyori, right?
**[03:31] T**
You know we can't escape
that Hand Shaker, right?
**[03:35] T**
The difference in our
power is far too large,
**[03:37] T**
and I'm wounded.
**[03:39] T**
Will they just sit back and do nothing when
they've got an advantage like that?
**[03:43] T**
I know I would finish them...
**[03:47] Gu**
But...
**[03:48] T**
If I lose, Koyori dies.
**[03:51] T**
Right?
**[03:53] T**
I'm going to protect Koyori.
**[03:56] Gu**
No.
**[03:56] T**
Makihara-sensei!
**[03:57] Gu**
It's true that, as you say,
**[04:00] ---**
your defeat will mean Koyori's death.
**[04:03] Gu**
But even so,
**[04:06] Gu**
no.
**[04:07] T**
Why?
**[04:08] Gu**
The odds are just too low.
**[04:11] Gu**
Tell me everything you know about your enemy.
**[04:13] Gu**
As a former Hand Shaker, I'll analyze them.
**[04:18] Gu**
I'll try and heal you, too.
**[04:19] Gu**
So...
**[04:21] T**
All right.
**[04:25] T**
You're right. I wasn't thinking clearly.
**[04:28] T**
I can't see myself winning now.
**[04:30] T**
I'll rest.
**[04:31] Gu**
Good.
**[04:33] Gu**
I promise good news.
**[04:39] Gu**
Get some sleep, Tazuna-kun.
**[04:53] T**
Makihara-sensei is too overconfident.
**[04:56] T**
Positive? Hah.
**[04:57] T**
He's just been optimistic and indecisive...
**[05:01] T**
Does he really want to save you?
**[05:06] T**
Don't worry.
**[05:08] T**
I'll protect you.
**[05:12] (Flashback) Gi**
Brother...
**[05:14] (Flashback) T**
That isn't Takatsuki Musubu, your sister.
**[05:18] T**
It's true that yes,
**[05:21] T**
at first you were a replacement for Musubu.
**[05:25] T**
I thought that I could never
let go like I did with Musubu.
**[05:30] T**
But now it's different.
**[05:33] T**
I'll protect you, Koyori.
**[05:34] T**
I promise!
**[05:37] T**
I'm the only one who can!
**[05:41] T**
The fever medicine's working.
**[05:46] T**
I know where they are,
**[05:48] T**
because she gave us her idol name.
**[05:51] T**
I was able to find them.
**[05:54] T**
Even if something happens to me,
**[05:57] T**
I'll defeat those two.
**[06:01] T**
Koyori, let's go!
**[06:06] Gi**
Tazuna?
**[06:07] Gi**
You have to lie down.
**[06:08] Gi**
Makihara-sensei said you need rest.
**[06:12] T**
I have somewhere I have to go.
**[06:14] Gi**
Koyori-chan looks upset.
**[06:17] T**
It's for Koyori's sake.
**[06:20] Gi**
But...
**[06:22] Gi**
Tazuna, lately you've
been getting hurt a lot.
**[06:27] T**
Shut up! Leave me alone!
**[06:28] Gu**
Tazuna!
**[06:29] Gu**
Look at Koyori-chan's face
**[06:32] ---**
and tell me you're doing it for her sake.
**[06:41] T**
Shut up.
**[06:42] Gi**
Tazuna!
**[06:43] Gu**
Tazuna, wait!
**[06:44] T**
*No matter what Koyori thinks,*
**[06:46] T**
*I have to win!*
**[06:51] Gi**
So this is your world after all.
**[06:56] Gi**
But yesterday you fought here and lost.
**[07:01] T**
So this is the effect of my Nimrod?
**[07:05] T**
It knows us?
**[07:07] ---**
Yes.
**[07:08] ---**
But don't get the wrong idea.
**[07:10] T**
The reason I fought here last time
**[07:12] ---**
was because I wanted to win in your world.
**[07:15] T**
That won't change this time either.
**[07:26] T**
* First I'll destroy her Nimrod,*
* which amplifies her power!*
**[07:30] Gu**
Me?
**[07:32] T**
*I'll defeat him before she can intervene!*
**[07:34] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[07:37] Gu**
Hey, I'm in the middle of one
of Kodama-chan's concerts.
**[07:42] Gi**
It's true that you can leave
the concert at any time, but...
**[07:46] Gi**
That's a shame.
**[07:51] Gi**
Hibiki-san, are you okay?
**[07:53] Gu**
Yes, I'm all right!
**[08:02] Gu**
Flash!
**[08:08] T**
Damn it!
**[08:09] T**
He's strong.
**[08:10] Gu**
Aww, no I'm not.
**[08:14] Gu**
I'm not strong at all.
**[08:17] Gu**
But my one job of being a manager,
**[08:19] Gu**
and letting my idol's voice resound...
**[08:21] Gu**
I take seriously!
**[08:35] T**
Oh, no!
**[08:36] Gi**
Of course Awaza Kodama's manager
is going to be good at his job.
**[08:42] Gi**
Let the concert begin!
**[09:00] T**
*I feel a different power than yesterday.*
**[09:03] T**
* Her song and dance are amplifying*
* her Nimrod's power even more.*
**[09:38] T**
I can't lose...
**[09:50] T**
I'll protect her...
**[09:52] T**
I'll protect Koyori...
**[09:54] T**
No matter what happens to me.
**[09:56] Gi**
Mahatma Gandhi once said
**[09:59] ---**
that strength doesn't come from the body,
**[10:03] Gi**
it comes from an unbreakable will.
**[10:06] Gi**
And that describes you to a T.
**[10:09] Gi**
But...
**[10:11] Gi**
The concert's about to end.
**[10:14] Gi**
No encores.
**[10:17] T**
I won't let that happen...
**[10:25] K**
Together...
**[10:30] K**
I want to be...
**[10:36] ---**
with Tazuna...
**[10:42] T**
Koyori?
**[11:28] T**
Koyori's Nimrod?
**[11:41] Gu**
Kodama-chan!
**[11:43] Gi**
I know!
**[11:46] K**
I'll protect Tazuna.
**[11:48] K**
I'll stay with him.
**[11:53] T**
I see.
**[12:01] T**
We're together.
**[12:06] T**
Will you fight with me, Koyori?
**[12:12] K**
Yeah, Tazuna!
**[12:15] T**
The two worlds aren't mixing...
**[12:18] Gi**
But they're becoming one.
**[12:21] Gi**
Is this your Nimrod?
**[12:23] Gu**
The gears are overlapping!
**[12:25] Gu**
Kinda like a sprocket gear...
**[12:28] K**
Sprocket... Gear.
**[12:31] T**
I bet that castle is Koyori's heart.
**[12:34] Gi**
Hibiki-san, now's not the
time to be impressed.
**[12:37] Gu**
That's right!
**[12:39] Gu**
Oh, I'm done!
**[12:40] Gu**
Let it resound, Kodama-chan.
**[12:42] Gi**
Yeah.
**[12:43] Gi**
Now I've seen your power.
**[12:46] Gi**
I'll carve it into both of you!
**[12:53] K**
If I'm with you, Tazuna, I can do it.
**[12:56] T**
Yeah.
**[13:07] Gi**
My songs...
**[13:08] Gu**
Kodama-chan!
**[13:24] T**
*Gear skates... is this Koyori's power?*
**[13:27] K**
*The power you gave me, Tazuna.*
**[13:33] K**
*I was able to mesh with Tazuna!*
**[13:36] Gi**
*They're behind me!*
**[13:42] Both**
We're meshing!
**[13:54] Gi**
* They figured out how I move*
* from the battles so far?*
**[13:57] Gi**
*It can't be...*
**[14:07] Gi**
I've come this far,
**[14:08] Gi**
and won so many battles...
**[14:10] Gi**
Awaza Kodama cannot leave this stage.
**[14:15] Gu**
Kodama-chan, no!
**[14:17] Gi**
I won't run.
**[14:20] Gi**
If I run, I, Awaza Kodama,
**[14:23] Gi**
will cease to be Awaza Kodama!
**[14:26] Gi**
To make our dreams come true,
**[14:28] Gi**
I can't lose or run away.
**[14:32] T**
Let's go, Koyori!
**[14:33] K**
Yeah, Tazuna!
**[14:47] Gi**
My... my dream...
**[14:52] Gi**
No...
**[15:10] Gi**
It's over...
**[15:17] Gu**
You lost, that's all, right?
**[15:20] Gi**
I lost!
**[15:25] Gi**
I lost...
**[15:28] Gi**
It's over...
**[15:30] Gi**
No! It was over a long time ago!
**[15:35] Gi**
My songs are for all my fans?
**[15:39] Gi**
Who are my fans? Where are they?
**[15:43] Gi**
Opinions on my concerts?

My favorite quotes
Use them if you like!
**[16:16] Gi**
It's the same with me being a Hand Shaker!
**[16:19] Gi**
I know that!
**[16:21] Gi**
The reason I was able to win so far was
because you picked my opponents, wasn't it?
**[16:28] Gu**
You knew?
**[16:30] Gi**
I know.
**[16:32] Gi**
You were working with that doctor.
**[16:36] Gi**
You promised not to fight each other,
**[16:38] Gi**
and to exchange information,
**[16:40] Gi**
avoiding opponents who'd have
an advantage against us
**[16:43] Gi**
and choosing opponents even I could beat.
**[16:46] Gi**
Otherwise someone like me
would've lost a long time ago.
**[16:52] Gu**
I didn't fight them because they didn't
want to fight you, Kodama-chan.
**[16:57] Gu**
Otherwise they would've
come after us earlier.
**[17:01] Gu**
That's who they...
**[17:02] Gi**
Shut up!
**[17:03] Gi**
Either way, I lost.
**[17:06] Gi**
It's over now.
**[17:08] Gi**
You really are a fool.
**[17:11] Gi**
You did all this for a girl
who can't do anything and
**[17:14] Gi**
bought into my delusions
about being an idol.
**[17:18] Gi**
You even quit your job...
**[17:20] Gi**
You threw your whole life
into the mud for me!
**[17:39] Gu**
You're right.
**[17:42] Gu**
It is in the mud.
**[17:44] Gu**
But that's nothing new, Kodama-chan.
**[17:49] Gu**
We never won at anything, did we?
**[17:53] Gu**
We're just an underground
idol and her manager.
**[17:57] Gu**
So we're in the mud.
**[17:59] Gu**
You can't get arrogant about it,
**[18:02] Gu**
but I believe in you.
**[18:06] Gu**
We lost in the Ziggurat,
**[18:08] Gu**
but even if we don't borrow
power from God there
**[18:11] ---**
and try to make our dreams
come true that way,
**[18:14] Gu**
my dream will come true, Kodama-chan.
**[18:16] Gi**
Why?
**[18:18] Gu**
Because you're Awaza Kodama-chan.
**[18:23] Gu**
You are my dream.
**[18:26] Gu**
Otherwise I wouldn't have
stopped being your fan,
**[18:30] ---**
which had been the goal of my life,
**[18:32] Gu**
and become your manager.
**[18:36] Gu**
I wouldn't have let my whole life
revolve a girl younger than me,
**[18:40] ---**
who I'm not in love with.
**[18:42] Gu**
Kodama-chan...
**[18:46] Gu**
Kodama-chan, you do have a fan.
**[18:58] Gu**
Do you need the help of a manager?
**[19:05] Gi**
Just for this one moment...
**[19:07] Gi**
Even when I sing in town,
nobody listens to me.
**[19:11] Gi**
Even though I barely have any fans, or jobs...
**[19:14] Gi**
You really are a fool, Hibiki-san.
**[19:21] Gi**
But that's what makes you Awaza
Kodama's skilled manager!
**[19:26] Gi**
I was prepared to reluctantly retire
**[19:29] Gi**
and go back to being a normal girl, but...
**[19:34] Gi**
If my fans, and my manager,
want me to stay I guess I will.
**[19:39] Gi**
Okay, go make my dream come true.
**[19:43] Gi**
I'll send the two of them a pair of tickets,
**[19:46] Gi**
and shake their hands and make them
understand what an amazing idol they got
**[19:51] ---**
to hear up close.
**[19:54] Gi**
So what's our next job?
**[19:57] Gi**
Sun Tzu said that the art
of war is all about speed.
**[20:02] Gi**
Huh?
**[20:03] Gi**
Is that right...
**[20:04] ---**
Um...
**[20:06] Gi**
Anyway, time is important!
**[20:08] Gi**
Kodama-chan!
**[20:10] Gi**
That's my Kodama-chan!
**[20:12] Gi**
It's resounding within me,
**[20:14] Gi**
since my name's Hibiki.
**[20:16] Gi**
I've been meaning to say this for a while,
**[20:18] Gi**
but I'm pretty sure that's not why.
**[20:21] Gu**
Oh, right.
**[20:22] Gu**
That concert that got canceled...
**[20:24] Gu**
Can you leave your schedule open?
**[20:27] Gi**
But...
**[20:28] Gu**
I got an appointment with President Nabeta.
**[20:31] Gi**
Hibiki-san, that won't...
**[20:35] Gi**
No, let's try it.
**[20:38] Gi**
Nothing is impossible for Awaza Kodama.
**[20:40] Gu**
That's my Kodama-chan!
**[20:42] Gu**
Your self-confidence resounds within me,
**[20:43] Gu**
because I'm Hibiki.
**[20:52] T**
Koyori, I'm really sorry.
**[20:56] T**
We won thanks to you.
**[20:59] T**
I couldn't do anything on my own.
**[21:03] T**
But I ran ahead on my own...
**[21:08] T**
I was so convinced I had to do something.
**[21:13] K**
You always protected me.
**[21:20] K**
Thank you,
**[21:23] K**
for being with me.
**[21:31] T**
You, too...
**[21:33] T**
Thanks for being with me.
**[23:11] T**

***SIGN*** Cocktail Corn
**[00:04] K**
Welcome.
**[00:07] T**
Welcome.
**[00:10] C**
So cute!
**[00:12] C**
Ahem.
**[00:13] C**
Tazuna-kun, a little louder.
**[00:16] C**
And a little more expressive.
**[00:18] C**
Got it?
**[00:18] T**
Okay!
**[00:20] C**
I think it works for
Koyori-chan though, right?
**[00:35] T**
Why are you taking a photo?
**[00:39] C**
Because you're cute!
**[00:41] C**
Oh, by "you" I mean Koyori-chan, okay?
**[00:43] T**
Right...
**[00:44] T**
No, wait!
**[00:46] C**
Now I'll take one more with this.
**[00:50] T**
I said...
**[02:32] M**
I never thought Koyori-kun
would change so much.
**[02:35] M**
In such a short time, too...
**[02:37] M**
I'm glad it was you, Tazuna-kun.
**[02:41] M**
I'm really glad it was you!
**[02:47] K**
Scary.
**[02:53] M**
She's scared of me!
**[02:56] M**
But if you want to think positive, that means
she's changed enough to be scared now.
**[03:01] M**
I want to scare her more.
**[03:03] M**
No, that's not a good idea.
**[03:05] M**
I understand.
**[03:06] T**
Koyori, it's okay.
**[03:09] T**
Makihara-sensei seems to realize
that something's wrong with him.
**[03:13] M**
And Tazuna-kun, you're getting
more brutal towards me every day.
**[03:17] M**
But that aside...
**[03:20] M**
I am grateful to you.
**[03:22] M**
If Koyori-kun had never woken up,
I wouldn't have been able to see her like this.
**[03:28] T**
She's helped me.
**[03:30] K**
Tazuna always protects me.
**[03:37] M**
But... I see...
**[03:38] M**
If she can speak, that means...
**[03:42] M**
And then that castle in the Ziggurat...
***SIGN*** Chizuru-san
**[03:45] M**
Her language abilities
themselves weren't lost.
**[03:46] T**
Chizuru-san?
**[03:48] T**
Yes?
**[03:48] M**
Her memories...
**[03:49] C**
*Hello? Tazuna-kun?*
**[03:50] M**
Hey, um, are you listening?
**[03:51] C**
I'll make this quick.
**[03:53] C**
How do you and Koyori-chan
feel about a part-time job?
**[03:56] C**
You can try it first.
**[04:00] C**
Okay, Koyori-chan, you can
serve customers in the front.
**[04:05] C**
If there's something you don't
understand, don't hesitate to ask.
**[04:08] C**
Tazuna-kun, you man the kitchen.
**[04:11] K**
Okay.
**[04:15] T**
Chizuru-san, that's impossible.
**[04:17] T**
I can let go of her hand for a while, but...
**[04:20] C**
That's right...
**[04:22] C**
So both of you can man the kitchen.
**[04:25] C**
I'm satisfied that I got to see
Koyori-chan in her uniform.
**[04:32] Gi**
Manager, stop staring at
Koyori-chan and work, please!
**[04:37] C**
They're talking to you, Manager Hayate!
**[04:39] H**
Huh? Me?
**[04:41] H**
No, they were talking to you, Senpai.
**[04:44] H**
Oh, hi, Tazuna-kun.
**[04:46] H**
You look good, Koyori-chan.
**[04:48] C**
Why do they actually call me
manager at times like this?
**[04:52] C**
The shop's gonna blow up...
**[04:53] C**
That would be bad, so I'll work!
**[04:56] T**
Okay, let's work, too.
**[04:59] K**
Yeah.
**[05:02] Gu**
Takatsuki-kun, warm up the hamburg steaks.
**[05:05] Gu**
The fries will be ready soon.
**[05:07] T**
Okay!
**[05:17] T**
Okay.
**[05:27] H**
You guys make a great combination.
**[05:30] T**
There's two of us,
so the overall efficiency is low.
**[05:33] H**
You've only been working for two hours.
**[05:36] H**
It's kind of depressing to see
how fast you're picking stuff up.
**[05:40] T**
Koyori's used to it, that's all.
**[05:43] K**
Tazuna helps me.
**[05:45] ---**
Well...
**[05:47] T**
But why did Chizuru-san ask
us to try out this job?
**[05:53] T**
Since the two of us can only work together,
**[05:55] T**
we just get in the way.
**[05:57] T**
Excuse me.
**[05:58] ---**
Right.
**[06:00] H**
No...
**[06:02] H**
If you were just holding hands for
no reason you'd only get in the way,
**[06:06] H**
but you're a little different.
**[06:10] H**
And if Senpai thought you were
only going to get in the way,
**[06:14] H**
she wouldn't talk to you.
**[06:18] H**
She saw how you moved at the school festival.
**[06:21] H**
She said nobody else could
move as a pair like you do.
**[06:24] H**
She was really impressed.
**[06:26] H**
And Koyori-chan's an even
better cook now, right?
**[06:31] H**
It's been a while since we saw you,
and now you can talk...
**[06:34] H**
Both of us were surprised.
**[06:38] H**
I don't know what Senpai's thinking,
**[06:40] ---**
but I think this is a good
chance for the two of you.
**[06:45] T**
For us?
**[06:47] H**
That's right.
**[06:48] H**
If you do some work when you're a student,
even if it's just a part-time job,
**[06:51] H**
it'll be useful when you grow up.
**[06:53] H**
Even if you don't work in the same business.
**[06:56] T**
You mean it's just for the experience?
**[06:59] H**
That's part of it,
**[07:00] H**
but the other part is that you understand
how people feel when they work.
**[07:04] H**
Well, it's like how Hand Shakers don't
understand each other until they fight.
**[07:09] H**
Something like that.
**[07:12] H**
Well, in the future, when you finally
let go of each other's hands,
**[07:16] H**
I bet it will be useful.
**[07:19] T**
When we let go of each other's hands...
**[07:21] H**
Makihara-san's working on a way
**[07:23] ---**
to deal with Koyori-chan's problems, right?
**[07:29] H**
Someday it will work out.
**[07:32] T**
Someday, huh?
**[07:37] Gu**
Takatsuki-kun, can you wash the dishes?
**[07:40] T**
Sure.
**[07:44] H**
There's more to life than
Hand Shaker battles.
**[07:48] H**
We lost, but our lives are still going on.
**[07:52] H**
Well, I understand what
it is you're carrying...
**[07:56] H**
It's a little too heavy. I'm sorry.
**[08:00] T**
But we took your wish...
**[08:02] H**
That's okay.
**[08:04] H**
It's frustrating and disappointing,
**[08:06] H**
but Senpai's in a good mood.
**[08:08] T**
Is she?
**[08:08] C**
Is that order correct?
**[08:10] H**
Don't tell her this,
**[08:12] H**
but she used to be more tense before.
**[08:15] C**
Welcome!
**[08:17] H**
I actually wanted to thank you.
**[08:21] H**
She changed after she fought you.
**[08:25] H**
She's really lively when she works,
**[08:28] H**
and when she gets mad at me, too.
**[08:32] H**
If nothing else, all the
employees here love her.
**[08:38] C**
What?
**[08:39] C**
Were you complaining about me behind my back?
**[08:42] H**
Senpai, no...
**[08:44] H**
It was... um...
**[08:45] C**
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
**[08:47] C**
I was wondering what you were up to!
**[08:49] C**
Were you complaining about me?
**[08:51] C**
Any whining counts as complaining, right?
**[08:54] H**
That's not fair.
**[08:56] C**
So, Tazuna-kun,
**[08:57] C**
what did Hayate say?
**[08:59] H**
Um...
**[09:02] K**
He loves you.
**[09:10] C**
Hayate?
**[09:12] C**
Why are you being so stupid?!
**[09:14] C**
Explode... I'm gonna explode!
**[09:18] H**
That's not true!
**[09:19] H**
I didn't say I like you.
**[09:23] H**
But it's not that I don't like you...
**[09:25] H**
It's not!
**[09:26] C**
You're not in elementary school!
**[09:29] C**
Wait, who are you saying
is in elementary school?
**[09:32] H**
I did not say that!
**[09:34] H**
I'm sorry for thinking you look
like a middle-school student.
**[09:37] C**
Even if you're apologizing,
that's still complaining.
**[09:39] H**
Nothing I say is okay.
**[09:40] H**
That's mean.
**[09:42] C**
Oh, jeez!
**[09:43] C**
Oh, Tazuna-kun, Koyori-chan,
**[09:46] C**
your friends are here.
**[09:48] T**
Friends?
**[09:49] C**
I'll give you a break to go see them.
**[09:52] H**
What about me?
**[09:53] C**
You do their work as well.
**[09:55] C**
Get going!
**[09:57] H**
This is an abuse of power!
**[09:59] K**
Does she like him?
**[10:02] H**
Let's go.
**[10:06] L**
Koyori-chan! Tazuna-kun!
**[10:25] L**
Sorry, we came to see you.
**[10:27] T**
How did you know we're working here?
**[10:31] L**
Koyori-chan told me.
**[10:35] T**
When did you send that photo?
**[10:38] K**
Chizuru said to send it
to an important friend.
**[10:43] L**
An important friend...
**[10:46] M**
I'm considered one, too.
**[10:50] L**
It looks good on you, Koyori-chan.
**[10:55] M**
Sorry my sis came barging in.
**[10:58] T**
No, it's fine.
**[11:03] M**
She's always like this...
**[11:06] M**
But please take care of her.
**[11:08] L**
I do a good job of being student
council president at school!
**[11:12] M**
I'm sure, but...
**[11:14] M**
At your core, Sis, you're...
**[11:17] L**
He trailed off.
**[11:19] T**
She does take care of us, yes.
**[11:21] L**
That's my Tazuna-kun!
**[11:24] M**
Don't spoil her too much.
**[11:27] L**
Masaru is so mean.
**[11:29] K**
Masaru...
**[11:31] M**
I'd heard about it,
**[11:33] M**
but I guess you really can speak.
**[11:35] K**
Yeah.
**[11:36] K**
I want to play Precious Memories
with both you and Tazuna.
**[11:40] T**
Me, too?
**[11:40] T**
Precious Memories? That card game?
**[11:45] K**
It's fun.
**[11:46] M**
Sure, it's a good game, but...
**[11:49] T**
Can you teach me, too?
**[11:52] M**
Teach you?
**[11:55] L**
Masaru is good at teaching, too!
**[11:58] L**
He taught me.
**[12:01] L**
Masaru kept asking me to play,
**[12:05] L**
and I didn't have a choice.
**[12:07] M**
You're the one who said you wanted to do it.
**[12:11] L**
But it's good.
**[12:13] M**
Yeah, but...
**[12:14] L**
He really is good at teaching.
**[12:17] L**
He is the Demon Emperor of the End!
**[12:20] L**
The Dead End Emperor!
**[12:23] ---**
Sis!
**[12:24] M**
Dead End Emperor?
**[12:27] K**
Emperor...
**[12:29] Gi**
Emperor?
**[12:30] Gu**
Huh. Emperor.
**[12:31] Gu**
The Demon Emperor of the End...
**[12:34] L**
That's right.
**[12:35] L**
My little brother is the Dead End Emperor!
**[12:37] M**
Sis...
**[12:38] T**
Dead End Emperor.
**[12:40] T**
Can you teach me sometime?
**[12:44] M**
This is your dead end!
**[12:49] C**
Your drinks are here, Emperor-sama.
**[12:53] C**
That's not what you were talking about?
**[12:58] C**
Break time's over.
**[13:02] C**
Let's go back.
**[13:03] K**
Just a little...
**[13:05] K**
Go without me for just a little while.
**[13:09] T**
Okay.
**[13:10] T**
Catch up soon, okay?
**[13:12] T**
Bye.
**[13:17] K**
Thanks for your message.
**[13:22] L**
I hope I was able to help.
**[13:24] K**
Yeah.
**[13:25] K**
We're together.
**[13:33] L**
I want to be like Koyori-chan
and Tazuna-kun, don't you?
**[13:37] M**
You and I are different, right, Sis?
**[13:46] C**
Good work. This isn't much, but...
**[13:53] T**
Thank you.
**[13:54] C**
The other employees loved you.
**[13:57] C**
Some people were bothered by the fact
you had to be together to work,
**[14:01] C**
but they're willing to accept it now.
**[14:05] C**
The two of you go three times
as fast as other people.
**[14:08] H**
They were being mean to me.
**[14:11] H**
"Are you still failing?"
**[14:13] C**
Don't let it get you down.
**[14:16] C**
I'd like to officially hire you.
**[14:20] C**
Think about it, okay?
**[14:24] H**
Yes. Thank you very much.
**[14:26] K**
Thank you.
**[14:27] C**
It's nothing.
**[14:29] C**
Anyway, you worked hard for that money,
**[14:31] C**
so why not go on a date?
**[14:33] T**
A date?
**[14:36] K**
A date?
**[14:37] H**
A date?
**[14:40] C**
Yes, a date.
**[14:41] C**
Wait, you don't have to get red!
**[14:44] C**
You're a grown man!
**[14:47] H**
I couldn't help it.
**[14:49] H**
Sorry for being young.
**[14:52] T**
I don't know about a date,
but do you want to stop somewhere?
**[14:56] T**
Shopping or something?
**[15:29] Gu**
Hello again, you two.
**[15:32] Gu**
The battle's over,
**[15:33] ---**
so once again...
**[15:35] Gu**
I am Awaza Kodama's manager,
Moriyama Hibiki with Echo Productions.
**[15:40] T**
Um, thanks.
**[15:43] Gu**
Isn't her song nice?
**[15:46] T**
Yes, it is.
**[15:49] T**
I didn't have time to think about
it when I was fighting, but...
**[15:52] T**
Um, we're...
**[15:54] Gu**
Kodama-chan's not letting it get her down.
**[15:57] Gi**
Thanks for coming.
**[15:58] Gi**
Thanks!
**[16:00] Gi**
Today, the front of the station is...
**[16:01] Gi**
filled with people, huh?
**[16:04] Gi**
What's wrong, Kodama-chan?
**[16:06] Gi**
No, I just thought I saw someone I knew.
**[16:09] Gu**
Why not come to one of
Kodama-chan's concerts?
**[16:14] K**
They were good songs.
**[16:15] T**
Yes, I think so, too.
**[16:17] T**
Next time I'd like to go to
hear her sing, not to fight.
**[16:21] Gu**
I guarantee you her songs will
echo in your soul, or my name's n—
**[16:26] Gu**
President Nabeta!
**[16:26] Gu**
Excuse me!
**[16:27] Gu**
I'll be right back.
**[16:29] Gi**
My private life is pretty boring actually.
**[16:38] T**
It really was a nice song.
**[16:40] K**
Yeah.
**[16:42] Gi**
It's amazing, huh? Big and huge.
**[16:50] T**
We just kinda came over here.
**[16:52] T**
Is there anything you want?
**[16:57] K**
Precious Memories.
**[16:58] T**
Are you sure?
**[17:02] T**
You're right.
**[17:04] T**
Maybe I will try it out.
**[17:06] T**
Teach me to play.
**[17:09] T**
But if you want to buy cards,
this isn't the place.
**[17:13] T**
Want to go back?
***SIGN*** Makihara-sensei
**[17:16] T**
Makihara-sensei?
**[17:18] T**
Hello. We're in a building
near the station...
**[17:20] T**
So are you?
**[17:22] T**
An exhibition?
**[17:24] T**
I didn't know there was one.
**[17:26] T**
Okay, we'll wait here.
**[17:29] T**
Makihara-sensei says
he just happens to be nearby.
**[17:33] T**
The Philosophy of the Human
Body Labyrinth Exhibition...
**[17:36] T**
What kind of exhibition is that?
**[17:39] T**
Hey, Koyori.
**[17:41] T**
What do you want to do from now on?
**[17:43] T**
I mean, not just today...
**[17:46] (Flashback) H**
Well, in the future, when you finally
let go of each other's hands,
**[17:50] (Flashback) H**
it will be useful, I bet.
**[17:55] T**
When Hayate-san said that, I realized...
**[17:57] T**
Even if it's all we can do to survive now,
**[18:00] T**
Makihara-sensei's working hard.
**[18:02] T**
And if we keep winning,
**[18:05] T**
someday we may let go of each other's hands.
**[18:08] T**
What do you want to do then, Koyori?
**[18:15] K**
Stay with you.
**[18:17] T**
But...
**[18:18] K**
I want to stay with you.
**[18:21] T**
I see... Even if we don't
hold each other's hands.
**[18:24] T**
Yeah. Me, too.
**[18:27] K**
I want to cook.
**[18:29] T**
That, too?
**[18:31] K**
And beat you in Precious Memories.
**[18:33] T**
That's not very far in the future.
**[18:37] Gu**
Yo! Tazuna-kun! Koyori-kun!
**[18:40] Gu**
Sorry! Sorry!
**[18:43] Gu**
That exhibition was just so good.
**[18:47] Gu**
I didn't think it was possible to approach
the large intestine in such a way.
**[18:52] Gu**
I bought a pamphlet.
**[18:54] Gu**
Want to see?
**[18:56] Gu**
No, maybe we could go back.
**[18:58] Gu**
All three of us!
**[19:01] Gu**
I'll pay the fee!
**[19:03] T**
No thanks.
**[19:05] K**
Precious Memories and a parfait.
**[19:08] Gu**
No!
**[19:10] Gu**
The kids and me just like different things?
**[19:13] Gu**
I'm shocked!
**[19:15] T**
It's not like that.
**[19:18] Gu**
Just a little?
**[19:19] Gu**
Want to see the pamphlet, just a little?
**[19:22] T**
I want to go shopping, so we're
going to shop near the station.
**[19:27] Gu**
You're so cold, Tazuna-kun.
**[19:29] Gu**
At least get some shumai on your way back.
**[19:56] T**
That man from before...
**[19:57] Gu**
I see.
**[19:58] Gu**
So that's it?
**[20:01] [SONG] Gu**
The Philosophy of the Human Body
Labyrinth Exhibition
**[20:02] Gu**
I thought it was possible.
**[20:05] Gu**
I never found out where you went,
**[20:07] Gu**
but I didn't think you were dead.
**[20:09] Gu**
It's true that you'd be capable of...
**[20:12] Gu**
How have you been lately?
**[20:15] Gu**
Just because it's been a while,
**[20:16] Gu**
you can barely even talk to me?
**[20:19] T**
Makihara-sensei, who is that?
**[20:23] Gu**
An old acquaintance.
**[20:26] Gu**
We had a deeper relationship, once.
**[20:32] Gu**
You're still that man's
slave, Takatsuki Tazuna?
**[20:37] Gu**
I told you.
**[20:38] Gu**
Akutagawa Koyori is not Takatsuki Musubu.
**[21:05] Gu**
I know Mayumi-kun is there.
**[21:08] Gu**
But how did you save her life?
**[21:11] Gu**
Don't ask.
**[21:12] Gu**
Overthinking things is what you do, right?
**[21:15] Gu**
But I'll say this.
**[21:17] Gu**
It's not a coincidence that I'm here.
**[21:20] T**
He's a Hand Shaker, too?
**[21:23] Gu**
I'll tell you everything before I end this.
**[21:27] Gu**
About the truth that Makihara won't tell you.

**[00:00] Gu**
I'll tell you everything before I end this.
**[00:04] Gu**
About the truth Makihara won't tell you.
**[00:09] Gu**
Once Makihara and I were
Hand Shakers who fought together.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Gu**
There's no point running!
**[00:22] (Flashback) Gu**
Huh? Did I miss?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Gu**
Oh, no!
**[00:38] (Flashback) Gu**
You never watch your feet.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Gu**
You watch my feet, so it's okay.
**[00:44] (Flashback) Gu**
Thinking positively, mentally,
you're extremely near-sighted.
**[02:22] (Flashback) Gu**
No, no, Nagaoka.
**[02:23] (Flashback) Gu**
Don't get mad!
**[02:26] Gu**
Thinking positively, it turned out all right!
**[02:29] Gu**
Shut up! You always...
**[02:35] (Flashback) Gu**
You got quiet again!
**[02:37] (Flashback) Gu**
Listen, don't try to say anything clever.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Gu**
You're terrible at it.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Gu**
Shall I say what you're thinking?
**[02:44] (Flashback) Gu**
It was foolish of me to let
them get so close, right?
**[02:48] (Flashback) Gu**
It was a calculated move.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Gu**
Another second and I would've
defeated the one who was far away.
**[02:55] (Flashback) Gu**
I knew the other one was closer,
**[02:59] (Flashback) Gu**
but you'd handle them.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Gu**
And if I'm wide open, it makes
the enemy lower their guard, too.
**[03:06] (Flashback) Gu**
I've got plenty of data on
the type of man you are.
**[03:12] (Flashback) Gu**
Fine.
**[03:14] (Flashback) Gu**
I'll buy you shumai.
**[03:16] (Flashback) Gu**
Or do you like ice candy more?
**[03:18] (Flashback) Gu**
Three milks.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Gu**
Don't think I'm that cheap.
**[03:22] (Flashback) Gu**
No, maybe I'll just buy
as many as you can eat.
**[03:26] (Flashback) Gu**
You guys fighting again?
**[03:30] (Flashback) Gu**
Akutagawa-sensei.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Gu**
Sensei!
**[03:33] (Flashback) Gu**
Sorry we couldn't back you up.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Gu**
No...
**[03:39] (Flashback) Gu**
Oh, jeez...
**[03:41] (Flashback) Gu**
You fell silent again!
**[03:44] (Flashback) Gu**
There's no point in getting
quiet around Sensei, is there?
**[03:47] (Flashback) Gu**
It was someone we could deal with easily.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Gu**
If there's something that bothers me...
**[03:55] (Flashback) Gu**
It's that I have to hold hands
with Mr. Dumbstruck here.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Gu**
You think I want to either?
**[04:00] (Flashback) Gu**
God, I hope not!
**[04:03] (Flashback) Gu**
I do not!
**[04:04] (Flashback) Gu**
I know.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Gu**
Could you not draw attention to it?
**[04:07] (Flashback) Gu**
It kind of annoys me.
**[04:10] (Flashback) Gu**
Don't just mumble at me!
**[04:13] (Flashback) Gu**
Anyway, it's rare for them to come after us.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Gu**
Once the four of us started working
together, they mostly stopped trying.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Gu**
They were pros.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Gu**
They probably thought they could do it.
**[04:24] (Flashback) Gu**
It happens.
**[04:26] (Flashback) Gu**
But our job isn't to fight
these stupid battles.
**[04:30] (Flashback) ---**
It's the experiment, right?
**[04:30] (Flashback) Gu**
It's to gather data, right?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Gu**
Put those two together and
you've got our research.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Gu**
If the two of you together make one whole,
**[04:40] (Flashback) Gu**
then you're good partners, right?
**[04:45] (Flashback) Gu**
It really looks like brain waves,
or emotions if you prefer,
**[04:48] (Flashback) Gu**
have a great effect on the Nimrods.
***SIGN*** Akutagawa Lab
**[04:52] (Flashback) Gu**
We still don't have quite enough...
**[04:54] (Flashback) Gu**
No, even thinking positively,
we don't have nearly enough data.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Gu**
If only Bunbun was here...
**[05:00] (Flashback) Gu**
Don't talk about people who aren't here.
**[05:02] (Flashback) Gi**
I still think the stories
**[05:04] (Flashback) ---**
of mysterious disappearances
from societies all over the world,
**[05:07] (Flashback) Gi**
especially stories of reaching
other worlds like Arcadia,
**[05:11] (Flashback) Gi**
or stories like Kan'u's dream,
where there are worlds similar to our own...
**[05:17] (Flashback) Gi**
The stories of people coming
back after visiting other worlds
**[05:19] (Flashback) Gi**
are evidence that Hand Shakers
existed in the past.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Gu**
Stories, huh?
**[05:26] (Flashback) Gu**
What about that paper written by
the Middle Eastern researcher?
**[05:29] (Flashback) Gi**
Sure, I'll take care of it.
**[05:32] (Flashback) Gi**
Leave it to me!
**[05:35] (Flashback) Gu**
Talented students... no, subordinates.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Gu**
The fact that there are two pairs
of Hand Shakers, including us,
**[05:43] (Flashback) Gu**
gives us an environment where
we can actually collect data.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Gu**
This is ideal, isn't it?
**[05:48] (Flashback) Gu**
Sensei's partner is his cute bride, though.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Gu**
But mine is...
**[05:53] (Flashback) Gu**
That's what I want to say.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Gi**
You're laughing too much.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Gu**
Hey, are you okay?
**[06:05] (Flashback) Gi**
Lately I've been feeling sick sometimes...
**[06:07] (Flashback) Gu**
Sit down.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Gu**
Sensei!
**[06:31] (Flashback) Gu**
Akutagawa-sensei!
**[06:34] (Flashback) Gu**
Congratulations on the birth.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Gu**
Here's a present.
**[06:39] (Flashback) Gu**
Nagaoka didn't bring anything, though.
**[06:41] (Flashback) Gu**
You...
**[06:43] (Flashback) Gu**
Thanks.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Gu**
No, more importantly,
**[06:46] (Flashback) Gu**
sorry for getting you hurt like that.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Gi**
Me, too...
**[06:51] (Flashback) Gi**
If I wasn't in this state...
**[06:54] (Flashback) Gu**
It's fine.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Gu**
The result was something incredible, right?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Gu**
This fact overturns all our theories...
**[07:03] (Flashback) Gu**
Makihara!
**[07:06] (Flashback) Gu**
No, that's not the only
thing I'm celebrating...
**[07:12] (Flashback) Gu**
That's just what researchers are like.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Gu**
But I'm really grateful to you.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Gu**
I didn't think we'd be pulled into
the Ziggurat during the birth.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Gu**
The two of them were able to
be born because you were here.
**[07:25] (Flashback) Gu**
Mayumi and Koyori were born...
**[07:32] (Flashback) Gu**
Children born in the Ziggurat?
***SIGN*** Akutagawa Lab
**[07:47] (Flashback) Gu**
Let's do it.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Gi**
Sorry! Sorry!
**[08:18] (Flashback) Gu**
Look!
**[08:20] (Flashback) Gu**
We're inside the Ziggurat...
**[08:22] (Flashback) Gu**
If the two of them are here, it means
that even without thinking positively...
**[08:27] (Flashback) Gu**
Yes.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Gu**
My children are born Hand Shakers.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Gu**
They were born with the ability to wield
the power of God by holding hands.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Gu**
They are blessed children.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Gu**
Our daughters have shown us
the form of a new humanity.
**[08:46] (Flashback) Gu**
Or... perhaps you could say this is
what humans are really meant to be?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Gi**
It's always...
**[09:14] (Flashback) Gi**
So mean...
**[09:15] (Flashback) Gi**
This is...
**[09:17] (Flashback) Gu**
There's something I have to do.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Gu**
I'll do what it takes to make that happen.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Gu**
I have to pick opponents
that I can actually beat.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Gu**
I'm sorry.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Gu**
Children are an easy target.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Gu**
Are you okay?
**[09:47] (Flashback) Gu**
How many times has this happened?
**[09:49] (Flashback) Gu**
I want to believe in the good of humanity...
**[09:57] (Flashback) Gu**
Blessings... A new humanity...
**[10:02] (Flashback) Gu**
What we're truly supposed to be?
**[10:06] (Flashback) Gu**
Everyone's after them and,
unlike the rest of us, they'll die if they lose.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Gu**
If they let go of each other's
hands, they'll disappear!
**[10:13] (Flashback) Gu**
I...
**[10:15] (Flashback) ---**
I was wrong.
**[10:17] (Flashback) Gu**
This is a curse!
**[10:31] (Flashback) Gi**
No... I don't want to live anymore!
**[10:37] (Flashback) Gi**
I don't want to live anymore!
**[10:49] (Flashback) Gu**
I brought shumai.
**[10:53] (Flashback) Gu**
But you're not in the mood, are you?
**[11:05] (Flashback) Gu**
Welcome back, Sensei, ma'am.
**[11:09] (Flashback) Gu**
I'm sorry. The two of them were attacked...
**[11:12] (Flashback) Gu**
Even though I was there, too...
**[11:14] (Flashback) Gu**
You defeated the enemy, right?
**[11:16] (Flashback) Gu**
That's all that matters.
**[11:17] (Flashback) Gu**
No matter who they are.
**[11:20] (Flashback) Gu**
Honestly, I would've liked
to finish them myself.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Gu**
We took care of ours, too.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Gu**
They were fools.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Gu**
They gave their real names, so we took
them out before they entered the Ziggurat.
**[11:31] (Flashback) Gu**
Again?
**[11:37] (Flashback) Gu**
Just a little more...
**[11:40] (Flashback) Gu**
Just a little more!
**[11:42] (Flashback) Gu**
Our Nimrods are starting
to overwrite the Ziggurat.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Gu**
One of the ones we crushed before said
**[11:48] (Flashback) ---**
that when the Nimrods overwrite the Ziggurat
**[11:50] (Flashback) Gu**
the Hand Shakers will reach God.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Gu**
B-But that's... We don't have the data yet...
**[12:00] (Flashback) Gu**
It's hypothetically possible
he was just imagining it.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Gu**
We put theory into practice, Makihara.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Gu**
Sometimes it's better to actually put things
into practice than wait for detailed data.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Gu**
Now is that time.
**[12:15] (Flashback) Gu**
Shut up!
**[12:18] (Flashback) Gu**
Sensei...
**[12:20] (Flashback) Gu**
I won't let anyone take you.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Gu**
If it was God who put this curse on you,
**[12:25] (Flashback) Gu**
if you're trapped by the
fate of being Hand Shakers,
**[12:29] (Flashback) Gu**
we have to release you.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Gu**
Because I'm your father.
**[12:34] (Flashback) Gu**
Even if it costs me my life...
**[12:37] (Flashback) Gu**
I can tell. I can tell!
**[12:39] (Flashback) Gu**
Just one more...
**[12:41] (Flashback) Gu**
If I defeat one more pair and
steal everything they have,
**[12:44] (Flashback) Gu**
we will gain the right to reach God!
**[12:49] (Flashback) Gu**
Finally!
**[12:50] (Flashback) Gu**
Just wait, Mayumi, Koyori!
**[12:54] (Flashback) Gu**
I promise. I promise!
**[12:58] Gu**
Just like he said he would,
Sensei beat the last pair of Hand Shakers.
**[13:03] Gu**
And then he disappeared.
**[13:05] Gu**
Did he find God?
**[13:07] Gu**
Did he challenge Him?
**[13:09] Gu**
Did he just die?
**[13:12] Gu**
We didn't know then,
**[13:14] Gu**
and I still don't know now.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Gu**
Why isn't CEO Okuike here?
**[13:27] (Flashback) Gu**
He was the sponsor, right?
**[13:28] (Flashback) Gu**
It's strange, huh?
**[13:29] (Flashback) Gu**
Empty coffins.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Gu**
We didn't know for sure that they were dead.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Gu**
It's been a month.
**[13:41] (Flashback) Gu**
Mayumi-chan! Koyori-chan!
**[13:48] (Flashback) Gu**
Mayumi! Koyori! Hey!
**[13:58] (Flashback) Gu**
We kept them alive.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Gu**
But they're in a coma, huh?
**[14:04] (Flashback) Gu**
Perhaps that's why it kept that other
characteristic of theirs in check.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Gu**
They've lost their parents, their memories,
**[14:12] (Flashback) Gu**
their emotions, and now their bodies?
**[14:14] (Flashback) Gu**
What did these kids do?
**[14:16] (Flashback) Gu**
Why is this happening to them?
**[14:17] (Flashback) Gu**
What happened?
**[14:18] (Flashback) Gu**
It just came out of nowhere...
**[14:21] (Flashback) Gu**
Did Akutagawa-sensei do something?
**[14:23] (Flashback) Gu**
Was his wish...
**[14:25] (Flashback) Gu**
Even partial loss of organ function isn't
normally something you could survive.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Gu**
It was a true miracle that someone was able
to donate their organs, and the twins lived.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Gu**
For now, let's think positive, and...
**[14:39] (Flashback) Gu**
Can you do that?
**[14:45] (Flashback) Gu**
I...
**[14:49] (Flashback) Gu**
This isn't what Sensei would want.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Gu**
That isn't God.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Gu**
No, I don't care if it's God.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Gu**
What are you doing?
**[15:05] (Flashback) Gu**
What am I doing?
**[15:10] (Flashback) Gu**
I'm carrying on Sensei's will.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Gu**
What?
**[15:13] (Flashback) Gu**
Sensei fought for them.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Gu**
He didn't come back,
**[15:18] (Flashback) Gu**
but this was the result.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Gu**
So I will kill God.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Gu**
What are you talking about?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Gu**
You know what happened to Sensei, right?
**[15:28] (Flashback) Gu**
What we need to do now is work together
and figure out what happened to them,
**[15:34] (Flashback) Gu**
and find a way for the twins to survive.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Gu**
That won't save them.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Gu**
Stop it!
**[15:40] (Flashback) Gu**
You saw his face, right?
**[15:42] (Flashback) Gu**
Was that the Sensei we knew?
**[15:44] (Flashback) Gu**
And what was the result?
**[15:48] (Flashback) Gu**
If we're going to save them,
we need to do it together, right?
**[15:52] (Flashback) Gu**
As researchers... As Hand Shakers!
**[15:58] (Flashback) Gu**
When will that research end?
**[16:00] (Flashback) Gu**
What do you mean?
**[16:06] (Flashback) Gu**
This is the end for you and me.
**[16:08] (Flashback) Gu**
What's wrong? What was that sound?
**[16:19] Gu**
And so Koyori-kun lost her partner,
**[16:23] ---**
her older sister Mayumi.
**[16:27] Gu**
I kept her alive by putting her to sleep.
**[16:32] Gu**
You just ran away by keeping things
in the same state they were in.
**[16:35] Gu**
Maybe.
**[16:37] Gu**
If nothing else, that's how it was back then.
**[16:40] Gu**
But what did you do to Mayumi-kun?
**[16:44] Gu**
I used a method to keep her alive.
**[16:47] Gu**
It was your idea.
**[16:49] Gu**
That's right, but...
**[16:51] Gu**
Implanted suggestions using drugs?
**[16:53] Gu**
That will destroy her heart!
**[16:56] Gu**
I refuse to accept it.
**[16:57] T**
Drugs?
**[16:59] Gu**
I had a theory,
**[17:01] Gu**
but I'm sure of it now.
**[17:04] Gu**
Two people connected to each other
in some form become Hand Shakers.
**[17:09] Gu**
It can be a shared goal, or love.
**[17:12] Gu**
Connected emotions create this power.
**[17:16] Gu**
That's how Nagaoka and I
stopped being Hand Shakers.
**[17:20] Gu**
Because the connection between us broke.
**[17:22] Gu**
Emotions are electromagnetic
signals created by the brain.
**[17:27] Gu**
Or perhaps psychological hallucinations
are emotions, as well.
**[17:31] Gu**
Mayumi loves me.
**[17:33] Gu**
You once refused to use that method!
**[17:37] Gu**
Our past doesn't matter.
**[17:43] K**
Sis...
**[17:47] Gu**
Awaza Kodama...
**[17:49] Gu**
I am on a higher plane than her.
**[17:53] Gu**
A few more pairs
**[17:55] ---**
and I will reach God,
**[17:58] Gu**
the same place Sensei did.
**[17:59] T**
How do you know Kodama-san's name?
**[18:02] Gu**
We were using each other.
**[18:04] Gu**
I was the one who sent her after you.
**[18:08] T**
You told her where we were?
**[18:10] Gu**
Indeed.
**[18:12] Gu**
Even if you run now, I know you.
**[18:17] Gu**
I'll do whatever it takes.
**[18:18] Gu**
Don't you understand what
happened to Sensei then?
**[18:23] Gu**
We are strong.
**[18:25] Gu**
I understand your power, as well.
**[18:27] Gu**
I saw your battle with the Houjou siblings.
**[18:30] T**
I see.
**[18:32] T**
The reason we couldn't
immediately leave the Ziggurat,
**[18:34] T**
and that Kodama-san knew my Ziggurat...
**[18:37] T**
There was still a Hand Shaker
in the area who was our enemy.
**[18:40] T**
That's why we couldn't leave.
**[18:43] T**
Was that you?
**[18:44] T**
Houjou Lily, Houjou Masaru.
Awaza Kodama. Moriyama Hibiki.
**[18:49] T**
I saw your battles with all of them.
**[18:51] T**
I know all about the power of
Single Gear and Sprocket Gear.
**[18:55] T**
You can't beat me.
**[18:58] T**
You used Kodama-san and President Lily?
**[19:01] Gu**
Will you lose the battle,
and lose Koyori-chan?
**[19:04] Gu**
Tazuna-kun.
**[19:05] Gu**
I have a proposal.
**[19:06] Gu**
Put Koyori to sleep again.
**[19:09] Gu**
I'll take care of the rest.
**[19:13] Gu**
I will take on this challenge.
**[19:20] T**
I think what you're doing is probably right.
**[19:23] T**
But I don't want to be separated from Koyori.
**[19:28] T**
We decided together.
**[19:29] K**
Yes, together.
**[19:31] Gu**
That isn't your little sister.
**[19:33] T**
Yes, I know.
**[19:34] Gu**
If we fight, I will destroy her.
**[19:36] T**
I won't let you.
**[19:37] T**
I won't let her sleep alone again.
**[19:39] T**
The way you do things doesn't mesh.
**[19:43] Gu**
Nagaoka, just like you said,
**[19:45] Gu**
putting Koyori to sleep was
just delaying the problem.
**[19:48] Gu**
Running away by maintaining the status quo.
**[19:50] Gu**
There's no way for me to deny that.
**[19:52] Gu**
But you saw it, right?
**[19:56] Gu**
How Koyori-kun, who'd lost her memories
and emotions, began to change...
**[20:00] Gu**
By using a different method than you,
**[20:02] Gu**
she's becoming who she should be.
**[20:04] Gu**
She's communicating heart to heart,
**[20:07] Gu**
even with the people she
fought as Hand Shakers!
**[20:10] Gu**
Nagaoka, are you okay with this?
**[20:14] Gu**
Your resolve is strong?
**[20:17] Gu**
I'm not scared if I'm with Koyori.
**[20:19] Gu**
I believe in her.
**[20:20] Gu**
Because we're together.
**[20:21] Gu**
Because we're connected.
**[20:23] Gu**
It's okay.
**[20:25] T**
That is what it means for
us to be Hand Shakers!
**[20:29] Gu**
I see.
**[20:30] Gu**
Mayumi...
**[20:35] Gu**
Tazuna-kun!
**[20:38] Gu**
Thinking positively...
**[20:39] Gu**
No, I don't need to do that, do I?
**[20:42] Gu**
You guys can win.
**[20:59] K**
Tazuna, look.
**[21:12] T**
It's not your Ziggurat...
**[21:15] T**
This is his Nimrod.
**[21:18] Gu**
Gold Cocoon
**[21:21] Gu**
and Silver Cocoon.
**[21:32] Gu**
Let's begin.
**[21:33] Gu**
You who would meet and challenge God...
**[21:37] Gu**
You, the Hand Shakers...
**[23:10] Gu**
*Heavy and quiet like the rain.*
**[23:13] Gu**
*Violent and strong like the wind.*
**[23:15] Gu**
*The storm slams against the fortress*
**[23:17] Gu**
*and reflects what's in both of their hearts.*
**[23:19] Gu**
* Souls that seek to protect*
* clash again and again,*
**[23:23] Gu**
* and the thunder clouds are*
* lit up by flashes of light.*
**[23:25] Gu**
*You who received the Revelation of Babel.*
**[23:28] Gu**
*You are...*
**[23:29] ---**
*Next time on Hand Shakers,
Episode 12: Shake the Hands.*
**[23:34] ---**
*The gears of fate will spin forever.*

**[01:40] K**
Tazuna, look.
**[01:52] T**
It's not your Ziggurat...
**[01:55] T**
This is his Nimrod.
**[01:59] Gu**
Gold Cocoon
**[02:01] Gu**
and Silver Cocoon.
**[02:12] Gu**
Let's begin.
**[02:13] Gu**
You who would meet and challenge God...
**[02:16] Gu**
You, the Hand Shakers...
**[02:28] T**
Let's fall back.
**[02:39] T**
Can we beat them with speed?
**[02:44] K**
No.
**[02:52] T**
Not good!
**[02:59] T**
Are you okay with this, Koyori?
**[03:02] T**
Fighting your big sister?
**[03:04] K**
I used to be connected to her.
**[03:08] K**
Now I'm connected to you.
**[03:10] K**
I fought a lot of people and
am connected to them now.
**[03:14] K**
It'll be the same this time.
**[03:15] K**
If I fight her, I should be able
to connect with her somehow.
**[03:35] T**
What?
**[03:39] K**
I think she's just like the
old me, and has no feelings.
**[03:43] K**
So she's just attacking everything.
**[03:50] T**
That was close.
**[04:11] T**
They got ahead of us?
**[04:13] Gu**
I understand how you will move.
**[04:35] K**
I'll protect you.
**[04:42] T**
Thank you.
**[04:44] K**
Because we're together.
**[05:15] T**
They're strong.
**[05:16] T**
Our shield, which was stopping
Kodama-san's attack, has been destroyed.
**[05:21] T**
Our Nimrod itself is being taken over.
**[05:24] T**
And...
**[05:25] T**
My sword can't beat him.
**[05:34] T**
I know.
**[05:35] T**
I'm not alone.
**[05:40] T**
You're...
**[05:41] Gu**
You don't need sympathy.
**[05:47] Gu**
Fight, Mayumi.
**[05:57] Gu**
Don't rest.
**[06:02] K**
Sis...
**[06:03] T**
I see.
**[06:04] T**
The way she fights, it's like
destroying her Nimrod over and over.
**[06:09] T**
If she keeps creating so many
each time she does that...
**[06:12] T**
Are you okay with your partner disappearing?
**[06:15] T**
She's together with Koyori, right?
**[06:18] Gu**
It's the best move.
**[06:20] Gu**
You will fall before Mayumi disappears.
**[06:24] T**
Damn it!
**[06:25] T**
You used drugs, hurt her...
**[06:30] T**
We'll win. Together!
**[06:34] T**
Make it mesh, Koyori!
**[06:35] K**
Right, Tazuna!
**[07:45] Gu**
I see.
**[07:48] Gu**
You thought that if you lured me here,
**[07:50] Gu**
I couldn't use my explosions.
**[07:53] Gu**
A bad move.
**[07:56] Gu**
This is the end.
**[08:07] T**
That's crazy.
**[08:22] Gu**
Unleash.
**[08:55] T**
Let's go.
**[08:56] K**
Yeah.
**[09:30] T**
Not yet!
**[10:18] T**
We win.
**[10:20] T**
The fight is...
**[10:22] Gu**
It's not over!
**[10:23] Gu**
I won't let it be over!
**[10:32] Gu**
Mayumi...
**[10:36] Gu**
Stop it.
**[10:37] Gu**
Mayumi, you're at your limit!
**[10:39] Gi**
I will protect you.
**[10:42] Gu**
She spoke?
**[11:01] Gu**
Stop it. You can't fight anymore!
**[11:11] Gu**
You're going to disappear!
**[11:17] Gu**
Stop it, please!
**[11:27] Both**
We'll make it mesh!
**[11:37] Gu**
They took the hand of their enemy?
**[11:41] K**
We can do it.
**[11:44] T**
It meshes.
**[11:50] Gu**
It stopped?
**[11:51] Gu**
I was charged?
**[11:53] Gu**
We should be enemies, but my strength...
**[11:59] K**
It's because I used to be
partners with my sister.
**[12:04] Gu**
Why?
**[12:05] T**
Koyori wanted to save you.
**[12:07] T**
So did I.
**[12:11] Gu**
You had no guarantee it would work!
**[12:34] Gu**
So I've lost my will to fight, huh?
**[12:42] Gu**
I guess I'm weak.
**[12:53] T**
Nagaoka-san, why did you do this?
**[12:57] T**
You could've just kept doing
research with Makihara-sensei.
**[13:02] T**
There was no need to make
Koyori fight her sister.
**[13:07] T**
Why did you do this?
**[13:09] Gi**
Because he's kind.
**[13:12] Gu**
Mayumi, your emotions...
**[13:18] Gu**
Mayumi-kun.
**[13:20] Gi**
I know everything.
**[13:22] Gi**
I can feel a heart that's too strong.
**[13:27] Gi**
Warm hands.
**[13:28] Gi**
Gentle feelings.
**[13:30] Gi**
He's really sick, you see.
**[13:36] Gi**
For three years now,
he's been saying the end is near.
**[13:40] Gi**
I knew that on that day.
**[13:43] Gi**
That's why he gave up doing research.
**[13:49] Gi**
He only fought battles
where he sacrificed himself.
**[13:53] Gu**
You knew from the start?
**[13:58] Gi**
My heart was lost once.
**[14:01] Gi**
My feelings and bond with you...
**[14:04] Gi**
It's true that they started
with lies and suggestions.
**[14:07] Gi**
But...
**[14:08] Gi**
But I could feel your heart.
**[14:13] Gi**
That's why I'm
**[14:14] Gi**
the same as you.
**[14:17] K**
Yeah.
**[14:18] Gu**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[14:20] Gu**
We were partners, right?
**[14:22] Gu**
There must have been
something I could've done.
**[14:24] Gu**
It was because we were partners.
**[14:27] Gu**
You wouldn't agree.
**[14:29] Gu**
I know you better than anyone.
**[14:42] Gu**
I'm sorry, I guess.
**[14:45] Gu**
Don't guess!
**[14:47] Gu**
You need to learn how to
say what you're thinking.
**[14:51] Gu**
I'm supposed to believe that humans
are fundamentally good, but...
**[14:55] Gu**
Takatsuki Tazuna.
**[14:58] Gu**
That was amazing.
**[15:00] Gu**
Let us meet again,
**[15:02] Gu**
before I meet my end.
**[15:13] Gu**
You really are positively
**[15:16] Gu**
terrible at saying what you think,
and you always do things in the worst way...
**[15:21] Gu**
And you're a kind man.
**[15:45] ---**
See ya.
***SIGN*** Makihara Labs
***SIGN*** It says Makihara!
**[15:54] Gu**
You're as healthy as a horse.
**[15:58] Gu**
You barely need these exams anymore.
**[16:01] T**
I'm glad.
**[16:02] Gu**
But her nature still hasn't changed.
**[16:06] T**
That's okay.
**[16:08] K**
We're together.
**[16:10] Gu**
I guess I didn't need to say it, huh?
**[16:12] Gu**
It's been a month since then.
**[16:14] Gu**
I'm glad your wounds have totally healed.
**[16:16] K**
Um...
**[16:17] K**
What happened to that guy... Nagaoka-sensei?
**[16:21] Gu**
Right now, he's...
**[16:23] Gu**
Actually, I haven't looked.
**[16:27] Gu**
But now that he's shown up,
I can find him if I search.
**[16:32] Gu**
I was with him for a long time.
**[16:35] Gu**
You both used everything
you had in that fight.
**[16:39] Gu**
You don't have to worry about it.
**[16:43] Gu**
He's really terrible at talking, as you saw.
**[16:46] Gu**
Someday I'll find him and bring him to you.
**[16:48] Gu**
Positivity is my motto,
**[16:50] Gu**
and I believe that humans
are fundamentally good.
**[16:53] Gu**
So would you let me take care of your sister?
**[16:58] Gu**
I'll take care of things, like an adult.
**[17:02] T**
Thanks, Makihara-sensei.
**[17:05] Gu**
No, that's mostly my line.
**[17:08] Gu**
Oh, want some shumai?
**[17:11] T**
No thanks.
**[17:13] Gu**
You're leaving, right?
**[17:14] Gu**
I'm sorry.
**[17:16] Gu**
Oh, what happened with your job?
**[17:18] Gu**
You're doing it together?
**[17:20] T**
It starts next week.
**[17:22] T**
I have to call Chizuru-san.
**[17:25] T**
Okay, we'll be going.
**[17:27] Gu**
Sure.
**[17:36] Gu**
You who will overcome many
battles and trials...
**[17:40] Gu**
You who received the Revelation.
**[17:42] Gu**
You who would challenge me.
**[17:45] Gu**
Yes, you, the Hand Shaker, huh?
**[17:47] Gu**
What was this God guy thinking?
**[17:51] Gu**
Was he looking for someone with
the power to challenge Him?
**[17:54] Gu**
Or did he just want to see people fight?
**[17:58] Gu**
Or perhaps...
**[17:59] Gu**
When I look at those two,
**[18:02] ---**
I think it might be something else.
**[18:06] Gu**
Because I'm thinking positively.
**[18:10] Gi**
They say they'll work here.
**[18:13] Gu**
That's a big help!
**[18:15] Gu**
I can't wait.
**[18:16] Gi**
Can you get them to respect you?
**[18:19] Gu**
I'm sorry I'm not worthy of respect.
**[18:21] Gi**
Don't give up.
**[18:23] L**
The Sun.
**[18:25] L**
Success. A promised future.
**[18:28] L**
Masaru, what do we do?
**[18:29] L**
It says a promised future!
**[18:32] M**
We're going shopping for our trip, right?
**[18:33] M**
We're busy.
**[18:35] Gi**
*My song's on sale now!*
**[18:38] Gu**
Amazing! You're so pretty, Kodama-chan.
**[18:41] Gi**
No, I'm just about to start carving.
**[18:48] Gi**
What is it?
**[18:50] Gu**
Nothing...
**[18:54] Gi**
Hey, Sensei.
**[18:56] Gi**
I want to eat a parfait with you.
**[18:59] Gu**
You've gotten honest.
**[19:03] Gi**
I always was.
**[19:05] Gi**
That's why I didn't talk.
**[19:11] Gi**
Sensei?
**[19:13] Gu**
I know.
**[19:16] Gu**
A place where we can get a parfait.
**[19:21] Gu**
What?
**[19:26] Gi**
Hey, Sensei.
**[19:27] Gi**
When I meet God there's
something I want to ask Him.
**[19:32] Gu**
Yeah.
**[19:33] Gu**
To save you and Koyori.
**[19:37] Gu**
I'll make it happen before I meet my end.
**[19:46] Gi**
My wish is something else.
**[19:59] Gi**
Rei-kun, you're taking up an instrument?
**[20:01] Gu**
No, I'll be supporting the people
who play the instruments.
**[20:05] Gu**
I'll be in the background.
**[20:07] Gi**
You're nice, so that's
the perfect job for you.
**[20:09] Gu**
Yeah?
**[20:12] Gu**
That's...
**[20:15] Gi**
Those two...
**[20:16] Gu**
Beat that God guy, okay?
**[20:22] T**
What is it?
**[20:51] K**
Tazuna, I want to try riding a bike.
**[20:56] T**
We'll learn to ride one.
**[20:58] T**
So we can be like this more.
**[21:01] K**
Even when that happens, we'll be together.
**[21:04] T**
Yeah.
**[21:07] T**
Then we're together, no matter what happens.
**[21:15] T**
Let's go.
**[21:17] K**
Together!
**[21:23] Gu**
You who received the Revelation of Babel.
**[21:25] Gu**
You who will overcome many
battles and trials...
**[21:29] Gu**
You who received the Revelation.
**[21:32] Gu**
You who would challenge me.
**[21:36] Gu**
Yes, you, the Hand Shaker...
**[21:38] Gu**
Just kidding.
