[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

    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...
