[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,
    Episode 9: Finally Fairy.
[23:33] ---
    I want you to accept me for who I am.
[23:36] ---
    Forever. And everywhere.
