[00:08] Kotoko
    Rikka-san is quite skilled.
[00:10] Kotoko
    She'll present an argument on her own,
    literally die for it on her own,
[00:14] Kotoko
    then come back to life on
    her own to retake the flow.
[00:18] Kotoko
    But I'm not alone.
[00:21] Kotoko
    Kuro-senpai and I won't
    let you have your way.
[00:26] Saki
    Right. Even if the third solution is rejected,
[00:30] Saki
    it's not like all of them
    have gone in that direction.
[00:33] Saki
    Some percentage should've switched
    over to the side that doesn't believe
[00:36] Saki
    in the ghost named Steel Lady Nanase.
[00:38] Kotoko
    And I'm not worried about a small
    percentage that may have dissented.
[00:42] Saki
    Huh?
[00:43] Kotoko
    I'm sure there are some who've been
    satisfied with the explanation thus far,
[00:47] Kotoko
    but they aren't part of my calculations.
[00:49] Kotoko
    Rikka-san is thinking the same thing as you
[00:52] Kotoko
    and deciding her futures by selecting
    the ones with the fewest dissenters.
[00:57] Kotoko
    She's assuming that I'm trying to
    chip away at her influence in stages.
[01:03] Kotoko
    But that's where my trap begins.
[01:06] Kotoko
    My solutions thus far have included
    the previous ones to some extent.
[01:12] Kotoko
    Detective Terada investigating
    Steel Lady Nanase on his own.
[01:16] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin's father leaving behind
    a damning handwritten note.
[01:21] Kotoko
    Even if they reject the
    conclusions of each solution,
[01:23] Kotoko
    the basic elements themselves
    have not been rejected.
[01:26] Kotoko
    Even though our third
    solution was just rejected,
[01:29] Kotoko
    as well as the portrait
    of the killer from it,
[01:31] Kotoko
    no one has doubted the part where
[01:33] Kotoko
    I said that Nanase Karin's sister was
    the one who gave the media the note.
[01:37] Kotoko
    Rikka-san will be satisfied
    as long as the conclusion of
[01:40] Kotoko
    "a ghost named Nanase Karin
    doesn't exist" isn't believed.
[01:45] Kotoko
    So there's no reason to destroy
    my solutions at their roots.
[01:50] Kotoko
    She can achieve her goal just
    by crushing the conclusions.
[01:54] Kotoko
    If she tried to start destroying any
    other part besides the conclusion,
[01:57] Kotoko
    she'd stand out more.
[01:59] Kotoko
    Therefore, Rikka-san is forced
    to take the simplest option.
[02:03] Saki
    B-But then...
[02:06] Saki
    Is she saying that what
    Rikka-san is doing now...
[02:08] Saki
    The futures she has chosen...
[02:10] Saki
    are all part of her plan?
[02:13] Kotoko
    All of the preparations have been made.
[02:15] Kotoko
    All that's left is to unleash the final blow.
[02:28] Kotoko
    Fiction is born within the fiction
[02:31] Kotoko
    and inverts itself into truth.
[02:35] Kotoko
    Then Steel Lady Nanase will disappear.
[02:43] Kotoko
    Let us move on to the fourth solution!
[04:29] Kotoko
    Even then, Steel Lady Nanase is fiction!
[04:33] Kotoko
    The three solutions I've presented thus far
[04:35] Kotoko
    were just the foundation to
    get to the actual truth.
[04:38] Kotoko
    There is someone behind this.
[04:39] Kotoko
    The one who created a ghost named Steel
    Lady Nanase and killed Detective Terada.

    We've been waiting for this!

[04:47] Anon
    Jeez, you're persistent.
SIGN    Nameless
[04:49] Kotoko
    The one behind all this is
    none other than Nanase Karin,
[04:52] Kotoko
    Nanase Haruko herself.
[04:54] Kotoko
    She's not dead!
[04:56] Kotoko
    The one who died at the construction site
[04:59] Kotoko
    was someone else made to look like Karin!
[05:02] Kotoko
    If you have a faceless corpse, it's a given
[05:04] Kotoko
    that they've actually been
    switched out with someone else.
[05:07] Kotoko
    The real Nanase Karin is still alive.
[05:10] Anon
    But that was debunked earlier.
[05:13] Anon
    Come on. No one believes
    that TV drama-esque story.
[05:17] Anon
    But if Nanase Karin was alive,
    there'd be no Steel Lady Nanase.
[05:21] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin lost her
    family and was all alone.
[05:26] Karin
    If I just wait a while,
    the rumors will settle down.
[05:29] Karin
    I mean, I won't be able
    to be an idol anymore...
[05:32] Karin
    But I'm still young.
[05:34] Karin
    I still have time to start over.
[05:42] Karin
    Excuse me!
[05:43] Girl A
    Huh?
[05:43] Karin
    I'm sorry, I know this is sudden.
[05:46] Karin
    But I was just thinking...
    that you look like me.
[05:52] Kotoko
    And that was when she met her.
[05:54] Kotoko
    Though their faces were different,
    the length of her hair, her physique,
[05:58] Kotoko
    and their ages were quite similar.
[06:00] Kotoko
    Let's just call her A-san for now.
[06:04] Kotoko
    No one knows what A-san's
    circumstances were.
[06:07] Kotoko
    Perhaps she didn't have any friends or family,
    or she suffered from a mental illness.
[06:13] Kotoko
    But unfortunately, Nanase Karin found her.
[06:18] Karin
    If I can leave Nanase Karin behind
    and start over as a new person...
[06:22] Kotoko
    That temptation led her to commit a crime.
[06:26] Karin
    Say...
[06:27] Karin
    I have a favor to ask.
[06:30] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin managed to cleverly
    coax A-san into her hotel room,
[06:34] Kotoko
    and had her touch her personal belongings.
[06:39] Kotoko
    She made sure to get rid of her
    own fingerprints around the room,
[06:42] Kotoko
    ensuring that only A-san's would remain.
[06:46] Kotoko
    I'm sure A-san had some reason
    to want to help Nanase Karin out.
[06:51] Kotoko
    After being depressed
    and considering suicide,
[06:53] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin coincidentally stopped her,
[06:55] Kotoko
    making A-san dependent on her.
[06:59] Kotoko
    One might also think she was
    promised financial assistance,
[07:01] Kotoko
    so she was willing to cooperate.
[07:04] Girl A
    So I'm going to act as your
    decoy and lead the media away.
[07:09] Girl A
    Do you think it'll actually work?
[07:12] Girl A
    They might figure it out right away,
    and I might not be much help.
[07:17] Karin
    You'll be fine.
[07:19] Karin
    See? It's perfect. Don't worry.
[07:23] Karin
    Look over there. See that construction site?
[07:25] Karin
    The media won't come over there.
    It's the perfect place to meet.
[07:31] Karin
    Let's meet there tonight.
[07:35] Kotoko
    If Nanase Karin hadn't met A-san,
[07:38] Kotoko
    she probably would've let
    the rumors run their course,
[07:41] Kotoko
    and would've been able
    to live a happy life.
[07:43] Kotoko
    But while in the pit of despair,
[07:46] Kotoko
    she had encountered a chance
    to dramatically restart her life.
[08:16] Kotoko
    A-san's face was crushed beyond
    recognition by the steel beams.
[08:19] Kotoko
    This would make it impossible
    to identify her that way.
[08:22] Kotoko
    And that would explain that mystery.
[08:27] Kotoko
    Why did Nanase Karin let the steel beams
    hit her without any signs of struggle?
[08:35] Kotoko
    That's because the body wasn't her own.
[08:38] Kotoko
    It belonged to someone else
[08:40] Kotoko
    who'd fallen unconscious and
    had the steel beams fall on her.
[08:46] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin finished falsifying
    the scene and fled.
SIGN    City Hall
[08:53] Kotoko
    She then used A-san's
    identity to begin a new life.
[08:57] Kotoko
    She was thus freed from her past.
[08:59] City Hall Employee
    Thank you very much.
    Here's your driver's license back.
[09:06] Kotoko
    She would've had to change
    her appearance to make sure
[09:09] Kotoko
    no one would recognize her,
    but that probably wasn't that difficult.
[09:12] Kotoko
    Someone as gutsy and determined as
    her would've been able to do it.
[09:16] Kotoko
    The body that was found at the
    construction site in Makurazaka City
[09:20] Kotoko
    on January 30th of this year
    did not belong to Nanase Karin.
[09:23] Kotoko
    She used the faceless corpse
    trick to fool us all.
[09:26] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin is alive and well.
[09:28] Kotoko
    Therefore, there could never be
    a ghost like Steel Lady Nanase!
[09:33] Anon
    Then what about Steel Lady Nanase?
[09:36] Anon
    That just means Nanase
    Karin made her up, right?
[09:39] Anon
    Why, though?
SIGN    Anonymous
SIGN    Anon
[09:40] Anon
    If Nanase Karin's alive,
    what the heck is Steel Lady Nanase?
[09:45] Anon
    If a ghost appeared, that would mean
    Nanase Karin was definitely dead.
SIGN    Anon
[09:49] Anon
    So it was to make sure people
    really thought she was dead.
SIGN    Anonymous
[09:59] Anon
    But if that's the case, isn't it a bit
    late for Steel Lady Nanase to show up?
[10:03] Anon
    Wait, when did the rumors
    of Nanase's ghost start?
[10:06] Anon
    Around June of this year!
[10:08] Anon
    Around February, everyone was still
    freaking out about Nanase Karin's accident.
[10:14] Anon
    Wouldn't that just be stirring
    up the hornet's nest?
[10:18] Anon
    There's no way Nanase Karin spread
    the Steel Lady Nanase rumors.
[10:21] Anon
    There's too great a risk that
    they'd find out she's alive.
[10:26] Saki
    The site's viewers are now actively
    trying to solve the mystery.
SIGN    Nameless
[10:55] Anon
    Hang on a sec.
[10:56] Anon
    Nanase Karin was living her life
    just fine until around May...
[10:59] Anon
    But then maybe people started a rumor that
    there was someone who looked like her.
[11:04] Anon
    That's totally possible.
SIGN    Anonymous
[11:05] Anon
    Plastic surgery takes a
    while and has its limits.
[11:09] Anon
    I get it. And then,
    Nanase Karin moved away.
[11:13] Anon
    But if she thought the same thing
    would happen in the future...
[11:17] Anon
    So to make Nanase Karin completely
    dead in people's minds,
[11:20] Anon
    she created Steel Lady Nanase!
[11:24] Saki
    They're drawing their own conclusions.
[11:27] Saki
    They've taken the three
    solutions they were offered,
[11:30] Saki
    changed the stories and the people in them,
[11:33] Saki
    and kept certain elements.
[11:36] Anon
    So does that mean Nanase Karin
[11:39] Anon
    dressed up as Steel Lady
    Nanase and attacked people?
[11:42] Anon
    I'm sure she did a couple times.
[11:44] Anon
    To make the rumor spread faster,
[11:45] Anon
    she wore that dress and bow,
    and had a steel beam.
[11:47] Anon
    She made her boobs jiggle, too.
[11:49] Anon
    She didn't want anyone to
    think it was an astral body,
[11:51] Anon
    so she created a character named
    Steel Lady Nanase that walked around
[11:53] Anon
    with a smashed face and
    carried a steel beam.
[11:56] Saki
    This logic about why Steel
    Lady Nanase was needed...
[11:59] Saki
    It's the same as the third solution.
[12:01] Saki
    Picking up pieces from that
    solution will give you the answer.
[12:05] Saki
    She basically
[12:06] Saki
    showed them how fun it is to logically
    try to explain an urban legend.
[12:11] Saki
    So this was the real reason why
    she gave multiple solutions.
SIGN    Steel Lady Nanase Wiki
[12:16] Saki
    Until now,
[12:16] Saki
    this site had gathered up the imaginations
SIGN    <356> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:15 ID.xzawegoj
    Her physique and presence are pretty noticeable, so if someone who knew about idols ran into her, that might've started a rumor.
    
     <357> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:16 ID.9ptreq
     I see. And that's why Nanase Karin moved away from there.
    But if she thought the same thing would happen in the future...
    
     <358> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:16 aoeigr3
    Yeah. So to make Nanase Karin completely dead in people's minds, she created Steel Lady Nanase!
    
     <359> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:16 ID.kfdsew
     So does that mean Nanase Karin dressed up as Steel Lady Nanase and attacked people?

     She didn't want anyone to think it was an astral body, so she created a character named Steel Lady Nanase that walked around with a smashed face and carried a steel beam. She made sure the name left an impression, too.

    The only one who could've prepared everything so quickly out of everyone involved is Nanase Karin.

    But if you think about it rationally, not doing anything would probably be best.
    
     <366> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:17 ID.monaekr
    Nanase Karin's always been pretty perceptive. Maybe she felt something was going to go wrong.
    
     <368> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:17 ID.wwfghs
    So does that mean Nanase Karin is behind everything?
    
     <369> Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:17 ID.wttvaar
    Wait, maybe she wanted to make sure it looked like the crimes couldn't be committed by one person.
    
     <370< Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:17 ID.vziwaj
    But she just started her new life. Would she risk it by doing all this?
[12:24] Saki
    But that's no longer the case.

[13:19] Kotoko
    Rikka-san, I'm not going to let

[13:29] Kotoko
    Because there is an order to
    this world that must not be
[13:32] Kotoko
    infringed upon by anyone.
[13:35] Kotoko
    Exactly!
[13:37] Kotoko
    In order to make herself completely
    dead in the public's eyes,
[13:41] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin created Steel Lady Nanase
[13:43] Kotoko
    and tried to make sure the ghost character
    came to people's minds instantly.
SIGN    Anon
[13:48] Kotoko
    And this might've all happened
[13:50] Kotoko
    because someone pointed out

    In order to make sure no one figured out
[13:59] Kotoko
    the swapping of bodies and
    the faceless corpse trick,
[14:02] Kotoko
    she decided to do something extreme.
[14:05] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin started to appear
    in Makurazaka City every night
[14:08] Kotoko
    and act out Steel Lady Nanase.
[14:11] Kotoko
    Since she was playing the
    ghost version of herself,
[14:13] Kotoko
    I'm sure it seemed convincing.
[14:15] Kotoko
    The rumors spread, and that name
    became a huge hit on the Internet.
[14:19] Kotoko
    And to make sure the
    rumor spread effectively,
[14:22] Kotoko
    she did something specific.

    Is Nanase Karin going to be arrested?

    What's going to happen?
[16:14] Kotoko
    Last night, you were in Makurazaka City.
[16:18] Kotoko
    To further spread rumors
    about Steel Lady Nanase,
[16:20] Kotoko
    you were going to check out the next
    location you planned to cause a scene at.
[16:26] Kotoko
    The detective who believed
    Steel Lady Nanase was human saw you
[16:30] Kotoko
    and thought you were suspicious.
[16:33] Kotoko
    You were probably dressed normally,
    but the detective didn't overlook
[16:39] Kotoko
    the fact that your boobs were huge.
[16:41] Kotoko
    Those boobs that reminded
    him of Steel Lady Nanase
[16:45] Kotoko
    made his detective's intuition go to work.
[16:49] Saki
    I heard that Terada-san
    wasn't a fan of big breasts.
[16:53] Kotoko
    The same could be said for Kuro-senpai.
[16:55] Kotoko
    Considering my petite frame...
[16:57] Saki
    Kuro-kun doesn't actually judge women
    based on their chest size or appearance.
[17:19] Saki
    Could you hurry up with the rest?
[17:21] Terada
    Lately, there've been sightings of a
    suspicious person around Makurazaka City.
[17:25] Terada
    I'd like you to answer a few questions.
[17:28] Terada
    What are you doing here?
[17:30] Karin
    Um... I'm heading to the convenience
    store to buy a few things.
[17:34] Karin
    I got a little hungry.

    This was the last thing
    you expected to hear.

    A person who was supposed to be
    dead was standing before him,
[18:06] Kotoko
    leaving the usually capable detective
    panicked and defenseless.
[18:09] Kotoko
    You saw your chance, and you took it.
[18:23] Kotoko
    After rendering Detective Terada unconscious,
[18:26] Kotoko
    you decided to make it look like
    Steel Lady Nanase was behind this.
[18:31] Kotoko
    If there was no sign that the
    capable detective fought back
[18:34] Kotoko
    and his face was smashed in,
[18:36] Kotoko
    it'd be hard for people to believe that
    a woman like you committed the crime.
[18:57] Kotoko
    And then you got rid of any
    trace of you having been there
[19:01] Kotoko
    and fled the scene.
[19:09] Kotoko
    This is the extent of your crimes.
[19:15] Kotoko
    If you choose to refute this,
    as well, please, be my guest.
[19:18] Kotoko
    But if you can, I'd like you to prove
    that you are not Nanase Karin.
[19:30] Kotoko
    I'll say it again...
[19:32] Kotoko
    Nanase Karin, you are the killer!
[19:42] Saki
    This is... such a terrible lie!

    Nanase Karin made this site?

    What a sudden turn of events! So Nanase Karin's alive?
[19:49] Anon
    Is Nanase Karin really the
    admin and the killer?
[19:50] Anon
    So Steel Lady Nanase's fake?
[19:50] Anon
    I wonder if Nanase Karin's going
    to get arrested if she's alive.
[19:51] Anon
    Maybe they're involved
    in the case.

[19:54] Anon
    So the killer really is Nanase Karin?
[19:54] Anon
    I still don't believe it!
[19:54] Anon
    If they're a ghost they'll
    probably appear again.

     I still don't believe it!
    There's no way she could've actually switched places with someone!
[19:55] Anon
    No idea. How the hell are
    we supposed to know?
[19:55] Anon
    There's no way she could've actually
    switched places with someone!
[19:55] Anon
    There were so many sightings up
    until yesterday. Isn't this weird?
[19:55] Anon
    But if it is true, we just
    witnessed something insane!
[19:56] Anon
    Did we just witness a
    case getting solved?
[19:57] Anon
    So is it true or a lie?
[19:58] Anon
    Oh, yeah. Did anyone actually
    see Steel Lady Nanase today?
[20:02] Saki
    She pulled them all in.
[20:03] Saki
    This website is part of the killer's plot.
[20:06] Saki
    And the reason the first three solutions
    were rejected was also because of them.
SIGN    I'll say it again. Nanase Karin, you are the killer!
[20:11] Saki
    She just managed to
    destroy Steel Lady Nanase
[20:14] Saki
    by simply saying that
    Nanase Karin's alive.
[20:17] Saki
    I can't believe you came up with all this!
[20:21] Saki
    But what if the actual admin
    of the site, Rikka-san,
[20:24] Saki
    just says she's not Nanase Karin?
[20:28] Kotoko
    And who would believe that?
[20:30] Kotoko
    The masses now believe that
    Nanase Karin is the admin
[20:33] Kotoko
    and love that idea so much
    that they're running with it.
[20:36] Kotoko
    Whether she decides to
    admit to that or not,
[20:38] Kotoko
    this wave of thought
    isn't going to change.
[20:41] Saki
    Iwanaga-san used the first three
    solutions to feed them basic elements
[20:45] Saki
    that would make them believe
    her ultimate solution.
[20:50] Saki
    She couldn't have done it had the future
    not been predetermined excessively.
[20:55] Saki
    Through his repeated deaths, he chose
    future after future to destroy the monster.
[21:05] Kotoko
    Kuro-senpai has decided the future.
[21:10] Kotoko
    Rikka-san won't be able to reach
    any options to change this future.
[21:16] Kotoko
    She won't be able to control Steel
    Lady Nanase with that site anymore.
[21:25] Kotoko
    Now, ladies and gentlemen
    of the committee...
[21:29] Kotoko
    It is time for the voting to begin.
[21:31] Kotoko
    Does a ghost named Steel Lady
    Nanase exist or doesn't she?
[21:37] Kotoko
    You don't need to do anything special.
[21:39] Kotoko
    Your votes will be cast automatically,
    no matter what you choose.
[21:43] Kotoko
    I just need you to freely make
    your wish in your own mind,
[21:47] Kotoko
    based on your own conscience.
[21:52] Kotoko
    There are true spectres in this world,
[21:53] Kotoko
    but there are also many false ones.
[21:57] Kotoko
    Fiction reverts to fiction.
[22:01] Kotoko
    The monster born from lies
[22:03] Kotoko
    shall be destroyed by lies, as well.
