[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.

[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?

[04:36] Shobon
    Of course, with one exception.

[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

[06:25] Otaku Hero

[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!

    Don't! Stop!
[10:46] otaku

[10:47] otaku
    Don't do it!

    Please don't kill Otaku Hero!

    This is the first Christmas

[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.

[12:25] 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!

    It's okay! I'm sure of it!
