**[00:05] (Flashback) Shobon**
It's all going according to script.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Shobon**
I tried to create the ultimate game.
**[00:13] (Flashback) Shobon**
One that copies nothing,
that nobody can copy.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Shobon**
I embody that originality.
**[00:19] (Flashback) Shobon**
I am the true creator!
**[00:23] (Flashback) Shobon**
But with the creator of this
world standing before you,
**[00:27] (Flashback) Shobon**
I say it is all fiction.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Shobon**
You are all nothing but simple NPCs,
**[00:33] (Flashback) Shobon**
living and dying
in the roles you were given.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Shobon**
But I alone am different!
**[00:39] (Flashback) Shobon**
I was chosen to be
the designer of a new world!
**[00:44] (Flashback) Shobon**
And to be your playable character.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Shobon**
How does my script look now?
**[00:51] (Flashback) Shobon**
Are you enjoying it,
**[00:54] (Flashback) Shobon**
Origin?
**[00:56] (Flashback) Shobon**
Well, will it appear soon?
**[01:00] (Flashback) Shobon**
The final flag.
**[01:47] (Flashback) Shobon**
Magical Destroyers.
***SIGN*** What You Like, as Much as You Like
**[02:02] Otaku Hero**
Anarchy-chan! Blue-chan! Pink-chan!
**[02:05] Otaku Hero**
It's me! It's Otaku Hero!
**[02:07] Otaku Hero**
Don't you recognize me?
**[02:10] Otaku Hero**
Anarchy-chan!
**[02:30] Otaku Hero**
Shobon!
**[02:36] otaku**
Yeah!
**[02:36] otaku**
We did it!
**[02:36] otaku**
All right!
**[02:51] Military Otaku**
Yes!
**[02:52] Military Otaku**
The enemy has totally
lost their will to fight!
**[02:54] Anime Otaku**
Awesome!
**[02:55] Anime Otaku**
We actually did it!
**[02:57] Yuririn**
The otaku have won!
**[03:00] Anime Otaku**
Yeah! Oh, that's right.
**[03:01] Anime Otaku**
We were gonna...
**[03:02] Train Otaku**
Raise the flag!
**[03:03] Train Otaku**
Plant it up there and
we'll celebrate our victory!
**[03:07] Game Otaku**
All right!
**[03:08] Game Otaku**
Wait, hold on! Otaku Hero still has it!
**[03:11] Idol Otaku**
Yeah, he's got to be the one to end this.
**[03:15] JSDF Otaku**
What is Otaku Hero's position?
**[03:16] Old B**
I heard he was heading to Akiba, I say.
**[03:19] Anime Otaku**
Akiba?
**[03:20] Train Otaku**
Geez, what bad timing!
**[03:22] Nick**
*Guys! Guys!*
**[03:24] Nick**
Guys! Can you hear me?
**[03:25] Nick**
Nick and Old Leader here.
**[03:28] Nick**
We're both—
**[03:28] Military Otaku**
* HQ, our troops have successfully*
* taken control of the enemy base!*
**[03:32] Old Leader**
Whoa!
**[03:33] Nick**
Seriously?
**[03:34] Military Otaku**
Yeah!
**[03:35] Military Otaku**
It's going viral across the country!
**[03:37] Nick**
*Nice job, guys!*
**[03:39] Nick**
*But we've still got a problem!*
**[03:42] Nick**
* This time you really gotta withdraw*
* and come back to Akiba!*
**[03:45] otaku**
What?
**[03:45] Yuririn**
Huh? Why?
**[03:46] Military Otaku**
*Why though?*
**[03:48] Nick**
Anarchy-chan and the girls have gone crazy,
**[03:52] Nick**
and Shobon is in Akiba!
**[03:56] Shobon**
Hey. It's been a while.
**[03:59] Otaku Hero**
Screw you!
**[04:00] Shobon**
A while back, I said something to you.
**[04:03] Shobon**
"The next time we meet, who will achieve
the world they envisioned?" Right?
**[04:09] Otaku Hero**
What have you done
to Anarchy-chan and the girls?!
**[04:12] Shobon**
Oh, but you already know the answer to that.
**[04:18] Shobon**
You won't admit it.
**[04:19] Shobon**
You think it's fake, made up, phony.
**[04:22] Shobon**
Some kind of trap.
Is that what you want to believe?
***SIGN*** Anarchy Roars
***SIGN*** Transforms into Destroyer
***SIGN*** Blue also transforms into Destroyer
Blue wields a scythe
with a mean look in her eyes
***SIGN*** Pink transforms into Destroyer,
waves her cloak, and poses
**[04:25] Shobon**
But it's pointless.
**[04:27] Shobon**
And you already realize that it's pointless.
***SIGN*** The magical girls
transform into Destroyers
and betray him
**[04:32] Otaku Hero**
Shut up!
**[04:33] Shobon**
I had you all in the palm of my hand.
**[04:36] Shobon**
Of course, with one exception.
**[04:38] Otaku Hero**
Kyotaro?
**[04:41] Shobon**
Are you getting it now?
**[04:42] Shobon**
You sure are a sharp one.
**[04:44] Otaku Hero**
There was nothing written
about Kyotaro in the notebook!
***SIGN*** silhouettes of

Kings on top

***SIGN*** otaku hiding
***SIGN*** Explosion
***SIGN*** Smoke clears

**[04:48] Shobon**
That's exactly right!
**[04:50] Shobon**
And for good reason, too.
**[04:53] Shobon**
This is the game's one and only player,
**[04:57] Shobon**
just here to enjoy the whole thing.
**[04:59] Shobon**
Watching over this new world from above,
**[05:03] Shobon**
existing everywhere and nowhere at once.
**[05:15] Shobon**
That is the nature of Origin's being.
**[05:29] Otaku Hero**
Origin...
**[05:31] Otaku Hero**
Huh. Kyotaro-kun,
so that was your true identity?
**[05:35] Otaku Hero**
You were so cute.
**[05:37] Otaku Hero**
I had no idea where you came from,
**[05:40] Otaku Hero**
but this makes everything hunky-dory!
**[05:42] Otaku Hero**
The hell it does.
**[05:44] Otaku Hero**
Game? Player? Enjoy this?
**[05:48] Otaku Hero**
Nothing you just said makes any sense!
**[05:52] Otaku Hero**
I don't know what you have against otaku,
**[05:55] Otaku Hero**
but you want to make me
play along with this?
**[05:58] Otaku Hero**
With this game or whatever?
**[06:02] Otaku Hero**
That's stupid as shit!
**[06:06] Otaku Hero**
P-Pink-cha—
**[06:11] Otaku Hero**
Screw your game! Screw your script!
**[06:16] Otaku Hero**
B-Blue-cha—
**[06:20] Otaku Hero**
Screw your new world!
**[06:25] Otaku Hero**
Why? Why do you hate otaku?
**[06:31] Otaku Hero**
Anarchy-chan?
**[06:46] Nick**
Otaku Hero...
**[06:52] Otaku Hero**
I want to like what
I like as much as I like.
**[06:59] Otaku Hero**
What's... What's wrong with that?
**[07:03] Shobon**
You really are essential to this game.
**[07:06] Otaku Hero**
Don't you have something,
anything that you like?
**[07:12] Shobon**
Yeah, I just love creating worlds!
**[07:16] Shobon**
I put my entire being into making this game,
**[07:20] Shobon**
to reject the otaku who tried to reject me.
**[07:23] Shobon**
To eradicate them!
**[07:25] Otaku Hero**
Yeah, I finally get it.
**[07:28] Otaku Hero**
You're a piece of shit!
**[07:34] Otaku Hero**
Otaku all have something.
Something they like.
**[07:38] Otaku Hero**
Something that they can't live without.
**[07:43] Otaku Hero**
No matter who tries to reject them,
**[07:46] Otaku Hero**
no matter how much they try to reject them,
**[07:50] Otaku Hero**
they can't stop being who they are!
**[07:54] Otaku Hero**
I like anime.
**[07:58] Otaku Hero**
I like manga.
**[08:00] Otaku Hero**
I like models. I like music!
**[08:04] Otaku Hero**
The others like idols and tokusatsu
and figures and cosplay and military stuff,
**[08:09] Otaku Hero**
and model trains and adult
dojinshi! They love them!
**[08:12] Otaku Hero**
And why?
**[08:14] Otaku Hero**
Because they can feel the spirit
of the people who created them!
**[08:17] Otaku Hero**
They all share the urge to like—
to really like something!
**[08:22] Otaku Hero**
But this game is different!
**[08:24] Shobon**
Why won't you go down?
**[08:26] Otaku Hero**
This game is made from an urge to hate!
**[08:30] Otaku Hero**
I'm not okay with that.
**[08:32] Otaku Hero**
You think we'll let something like
that take away what we like?!
**[08:38] Nick**
He's right!
**[08:39] Old Leader**
He's exactly right!
**[08:40] Anime Otaku**
Yeah!
**[08:40] Idol Otaku**
Don't let him win!
**[08:41] Train Otaku**
Keep fighting!
**[08:42] Military Otaku**
Get him!
**[08:43] JSDF Otaku**
Otaku Hero!
**[08:44] Old B**
I say!
**[08:45] Otaku Hero**
Now give us back our world!
**[08:49] Otaku Hero**
Don't mess with otaku!
**[09:16] otaku**
What happened?
**[09:16] otaku**
What the...?
**[09:29] Shobon**
I'm the designer of this world.
**[09:31] Shobon**
A creator exists outside of his creation.
**[09:35] Shobon**
Why would you expect this
to be my real body?
**[09:38] Otaku Hero**
You don't have a... real body?
**[09:41] Shobon**
No.
**[09:42] Shobon**
You can't beat me.
**[09:42] Otaku Hero**
I can't beat you.
**[09:44] Shobon**
I do thank you, Otaku Hero.
**[09:47] Shobon**
You raised the magical girls for me.
**[09:50] Shobon**
The girls fought against
their complementary colors,
**[09:53] Shobon**
and bathed in that blood,
returned to their original forms.
**[09:58] Shobon**
You certainly were a hero,
because you were the only one in this world
**[10:03] Shobon**
who wasn't colored by somebody else.
**[10:06] Shobon**
You're the icon that symbolizes this game.
**[10:09] Shobon**
You're both the hero and the final boss!
**[10:12] Shobon**
Well? Isn't that a fantastic idea?
**[10:16] Shobon**
By killing you, the world will
finally be painted all one color,
**[10:21] Shobon**
bringing forth a new order
and a world with no otaku!
**[10:24] Shobon**
Origin.
**[10:25] Origin**
Huh?
**[10:26] Shobon**
It's the end.
**[10:29] Origin**
Magical Destroyers.
**[10:41] Nick**
Don't do it!
**[10:43] Old Leader**
Please stop!
**[10:44] otaku**
Don't! Stop!
**[10:46] otaku**
Please!
**[10:47] otaku**
Don't do it!
**[10:48] otaku**
Please don't kill Otaku Hero!
**[10:55] Shobon**
What's wrong? Hurry up and kill him.
**[11:08] Shobon**
Wh-What's this? It can't be...
**[11:23] Anarchy**
Ta-da!
**[11:25] Anarchy**
Well?
**[11:27] Otaku Hero**
Christmas Eve?
**[11:32] Otaku Hero**
Yeah! It looks great on you!
**[11:33] Anarchy**
What? Are you being serious?
**[11:35] Otaku Hero**
Huh?
**[11:38] Anarchy**
This isn't cute at all!
**[11:40] Blue**
Even ignoring the low quality of the
needlework, this is just not...
**[11:44] Pink**
Gobo-go gobo!
**[11:45] Blue (P)**
"Design sense: zero!"
**[11:49] Otaku Hero**
What a tough crowd.
**[11:50] Anarchy**
Geez!
**[11:51] Anarchy**
This is the first Christmas
present I've ever gotten,
**[11:54] Anarchy**
and it's stupid and ugly,
and obviously your fetish!
**[11:59] Anarchy**
We really can't...
count on you for anything.
**[12:03] Anarchy**
You're always daydreaming.
**[12:05] Anarchy**
You're kind of nice,
but you're such a chicken.
**[12:09] Anarchy**
You're just a stupid otaku.
**[12:11] Pink**
Gobo...
**[12:14] Anarchy**
But you still...
**[12:17] Anarchy**
You still...
**[12:20] Anarchy**
...mean everything to us.
**[12:25] Otaku Hero**
Thanks.
**[12:27] Otaku Hero**
But I—
**[12:27] Anarchy**
Don't say it!
**[12:39] Otaku Hero**
It really is time to say goodbye.
**[12:42] Otaku Hero**
I wish I could stay with you all,
**[12:45] Otaku Hero**
but something is waiting for me,
**[12:47] Otaku Hero**
and it's more important
than my own feelings.
**[12:50] Otaku Hero**
I need to light the fire of revolution.
**[12:52] Otaku Hero**
And then change this twisted world back.
**[12:56] Pink**
Gobo-bo!
**[12:57] Blue**
Yeah, but do it with us!
**[12:59] Otaku Hero**
I can't do that.
**[13:01] Otaku Hero**
I want you all to live
and remember what we tried to do.
**[13:08] Anarchy**
Don't say things like that!
**[13:11] Otaku Hero**
After this, no matter what happens,
no matter what shape it takes,
**[13:16] Otaku Hero**
my otaku soul will live on.
**[13:19] Anarchy**
I'm begging you!
**[13:21] Otaku Hero**
It's okay! I'm sure of it!
**[13:23] Otaku Hero**
I promise we'll meet again!
**[13:27] Pink**
Gobo bobo!
**[13:28] Blue**
No! Don't go away!

In December of 2011,
everything suddenly ended.
**[17:04] OH2**
With the Magical Destroyers now awakened,
the world moved into "Phase 2"
**[17:08] OH2**
and fell under the control
of Shobon and the girls.
**[17:12] OH2**
Following the death of their leader,
the Otaku Revolutionary Army crumbled
**[17:15] OH2**
and its members scattered.

Otaku Hero, to his grave!
**[18:23] Shobon**
The magical girls we are so very proud of
**[18:27] Shobon**
brought true peace
