[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.
