[00:05] ---
    The balance between the worlds
    has just been shattered.
[00:11] ---
    Naoto and Naoya Kirihara were originally
    residents of the psychic world.
[00:16] ---
    Their existing simultaneously
    alongside you creates a paradox.
[00:22] ---
    And that paradox means
    the world will be destroyed.
[00:26] ---
    That was the future I saw.
[00:36] ---
    Destroyed?
[00:38] ---
    Me, my brother, everyone...
[00:41] ---
    A way exists to stop this.
[00:43] ---
    Remove the unstable elements,
    Naoto and Naoya, from this world.
[00:48] ---
    That is the only way to protect it.
[00:57] ---
    Naoya-san?
[01:12] ---
    It's no good. I can't get
    a hold of Sonezaki or Muto.
[01:15] ---
    What about Takuya?
[01:16] ---
    I can't get a hold of him, either.
[01:23] ---
    Th-There's so much information...
[01:26] ---
    What's going on?
SIGN    Episode 9:
    Paradox
[03:14] ---
    Where am I? Where's Naoto?
[03:17] ---
    What's going on?
[03:18] ---
    What is this place?!
[03:25] ---
    Welcome to my world.
[03:31] ---
    What? An old lady?
[03:33] ---
    Akiko Okuhara.
[03:35] ---
    She's the prophet.
[03:36] ---
    The prophet?
[03:38] ---
    And... the one who's
    been giving orders to the SWE.
[03:44] ---
    What the hell are you talking about?!
[03:46] ---
    Explain.
[03:48] ---
    You are the chosen ones.
[03:50] ---
    The special ones I have gathered together.
[03:55] ---
    Now, show me that you have
    the power to save this world.
[04:09] ---
    Naoya...
[04:10] ---
    Naoto.
[04:12] ---
    We finally meet.
[04:16] ---
    Naoto and Naoya Kirihara.
[04:19] ---
    Oh, I met Naoya once.
[04:23] ---
    We connected through Yuya.
[04:27] ---
    She's the one from before?
[04:28] ---
    Yes. She's a prophet of great power.
[04:33] ---
    And the one Mikuriya-san was talking about,
[04:35] ---
    who denied spiritual energy
    and created the material world.
[04:41] ---
    Yuya, what happened?
[04:45] ---
    With the help of the talented Yuya,
[04:48] ---
    I was able to bring the
     Kirihara Brothers here.
[04:53] ---
    You're the one who made
    this disgusting world?
[04:58] ---
    Nonsense.
[05:00] ---
    I am the one who has been
    protecting this world.
[05:03] ---
    It was Misaki who created it.
[05:07] ---
    His limited, vague prophecies
    caused you great suffering,
[05:13] ---
    and are now about destroy the world.
[05:18] ---
    What do you mean, "destroy"?
[05:21] ---
    Yuya. I think it's true.
[05:25] ---
    But... if the world is denying the
    existence of something real, it's wrong!
[05:29] ---
    Does that make it right
     to destroy the world, then?
[05:33] ---
    Is your world the only one that matters?
[05:38] ---
    Yuya shared a vision of this
    world's destruction with me,
[05:43] ---
    and Yui Akiyama shared one with you.
[05:47] ---
    I'm afraid what you saw
    is an inescapable reality.
[05:52] ---
    Hey, what does she mean
     "destroyed," Yuya?!
[05:55] ---
    This world will be destroyed.
[05:58] ---
    And the cause is...
[06:00] ---
    Yes.
[06:03] ---
    Naoto and Naoya Kirihara.
[06:06] ---
    You must not be allowed to exist
[06:08] ---
    in the same world as Yuya and Takuya.
[06:12] ---
    The four of you are
    trapped inside a paradox.
[06:15] ---
    You've already noticed, haven't you?
[06:19] ---
    That you are intertwined with each other...
[06:24] ---
    The fact that Yuya and Naoya
    are connected is proof.
[06:30] ---
    This is all part a terrible plan,
    created by someone
[06:33] ---
    who seeks to twist and warp the world.
[06:40] ---
    There is only way to save this world.
[06:44] ---
    Eliminate the Kirihara
    Brothers from existence.
[06:48] ---
    Brother...
[06:50] ---
    Sonezaki, Mutou, fulfill your roles.
[06:54] ---
    That was always the plan!
[06:57] ---
    I don't really understand,
[06:58] ---
    but I need to eliminate them
    to save everyone, right?
[07:04] ---
    Takuya, step back.
[07:08] ---
    You have fulfilled your duty
    of finding the Kirihara Brothers.
[07:13] ---
    With Misaki's plot still in motion,
[07:16] ---
    you should not face them.
[07:19] ---
    Don't worry. We're inside my garden...
[07:24] ---
    Now, Naoya, show me
    the one who lies beyond you!
[07:32] ---
    Where are they?!
[07:34] ---
    Where?!
[07:35] ---
    Naoya and Naoto! Where are they?!
[07:37] ---
    I don't know. They disappeared!
[07:39] ---
    There was this light, and then...
[07:42] ---
    Again?
[07:44] ---
    I didn't do anything wrong!
[07:46] ---
    Why are you doing this?!
[07:48] ---
    Because you're a traitor to the nation!
[07:50] ---
    I haven't done anything!
[07:51] ---
    Not yet! But someday you will!
[07:55] ---
    That's the prophecy.
[07:57] ---
    Prophecy?
[07:58] ---
    That's right.
[08:00] ---
    There will be no "someday."
[08:03] ---
    This world will be destroyed.
[08:06] ---
    What?
[08:07] ---
    I can see the future, too.
[08:10] ---
    This world will disappear!
[08:13] ---
    Bullshit!
[08:15] ---
    There's only one prophet,
    and it's Okuhara Akiko!
[08:18] ---
    She's the only one who can guide
    the world to its proper state!
[08:21] ---
    This is a "proper" world?!
[08:23] ---
    So everyone's supposed to just disappear?!
[08:26] ---
    You're just delusional.
[08:29] ---
    I'm doing this for the sake
    of the whole world.
[08:31] ---
    Don't hold it against me.
[08:37] ---
    I see... So you're the same.
[08:46] ---
    Wh-What?
[09:04] ---
    Did you connect to the prophet's network?
[09:07] ---
    Do you know what you've done?!
[09:09] ---
    It was on her orders.
[09:11] ---
    What?!
[09:12] ---
    These were her orders. We must simply obey.
[09:30] ---
    Sorry, but you cannot win here.
[09:34] ---
    I can erase Naoya after we capture Misaki.
[09:39] ---
    Now release your power!
[09:59] ---
    Brother...
[10:00] ---
    Get back.
[10:03] ---
    Come on!
[10:14] ---
    Brother!
[10:16] ---
    Stay back!
[10:36] ---
    I told you, didn't I?
[10:38] ---
    This is my garden.
[10:40] ---
    The result was obvious from the start.
[10:42] ---
    What's going on?
[10:43] ---
    Naoya...
[10:45] ---
    Brother.
[10:47] ---
    They were involved with
    Mom and Dad, after all.
[10:52] ---
    Is that what Okuhara said?
[10:54] ---
    Yeah.
[10:55] ---
    But why did they look
    the same then as they do now?
[11:01] ---
    Brother!
[11:04] ---
    Just stand back and watch, yeah?
[11:07] ---
    Naoya...
[11:08] ---
    I don't think they know anything, either.
[11:11] ---
    I realized that when I connected with Naoya.
[11:13] ---
    So we're connected?
[11:16] ---
    But if Okuhara's right and this world
    is going to be destroyed,
[11:22] ---
    we have to eliminate them.
[11:31] ---
    You won't get away now.
[11:37] ---
    Brother! Brother!
[11:40] ---
    I don't understand... Is this really right?
[11:45] ---
    What other answer is there?
[11:55] ---
    Take this!
[12:15] ---
    Now, protect our world.
[12:19] ---
    Brother...
[12:23] ---
    Sorry.
[12:24] ---
    I guess in the end, we were just stronger.
[12:28] ---
    Wait!
[12:30] ---
    Brother, is this really
    what we think is right?
[12:34] ---
    We're doing it for the sake of this world.
[12:36] ---
    Stop it!
[12:42] ---
    Out of my way!
[12:44] ---
    Now let me see him, through you!
[12:51] ---
    What?
[12:57] ---
    Masayuki? Why?
[13:00] ---
    You came through the network?
[13:03] ---
    Why... Why did you come here?
[13:09] (Flashback) ---
    Masayuki!
[13:11] (Flashback) ---
    No!
[13:18] ---
    It's our special secret, okay?
[13:24] Shoko
    The child you're going to have in the future
[13:24] Mom
    I thought then that
    Shoko must've guided me.
[13:26] ---
    will play a very important role.
[13:27] ---
    Shoko, is this what you meant?
[13:31] Old Man
    They all had their own role to play
    when they appeared before you.
[13:34] ---
    And now that they've played their role,
[13:38] ---
    they've gone where they belong.
[13:49] ---
    Impossible...
[13:52] ---
    Masayuki's birth was planned
    for this one moment?
[13:58] ---
    Takuya, eliminate Masayuki!
[14:04] ---
    I'll do it!
[14:19] ---
    Yuya...
[14:24] ---
    What the hell is this?!
[14:33] ---
    It intends to invade me?!
[14:40] ---
    Where are they?
[14:43] ---
    They were removed.
[14:48] ---
    What are you smiling about?
[14:51] ---
    Don't screw with me!
[14:56] ---
    Shit! Shit!
[14:58] ---
    You stupid kid!
[15:00] ---
    Disgusting thing...
[15:02] ---
    Masayuki, stop!
[15:07] ---
    So, this is how it ends, huh?
[15:11] ---
    Reika...
[15:13] ---
    Big Brother Takuya, Yuya...
    It's up to you now...
[15:21] ---
    Why?! We were stronger!
[15:24] ---
    We can't lose! Right, Takuya?
[15:36] ---
    Misaki... is this what you think is right?
[15:59] ---
    I'm so glad you're safe, Brother...
[16:03] ---
    Mikuriya saved us?
[16:06] ---
    Mom!
[16:07] ---
    Masayuki!
[16:10] ---
    Mom...
[16:12] ---
    I missed you!
[16:14] ---
    It's okay now.
[16:20] ---
    The two of them finished
    their role and went home...
[16:25] ---
    Mikuriya-san?
[16:27] ---
    My role is to send you to where you must go.
[16:34] ---
    And this will be the last time I do it.
[16:38] ---
    Mikuriya... I...
[16:41] ---
    Naoto, thank you.
[16:44] ---
    That's enough.
[16:46] ---
    If you see someone you can help,
    and they reach out to you,
[16:51] ---
    then help them.
[16:53] ---
    Mikuriya-san...
[16:54] ---
    Is our job only to save those left behind?
[16:59] ---
    Naoto, Naoya...
[17:02] ---
    You two are capable of reaching
    the thing you must do your own.
[17:06] ---
    I know it.
[17:08] ---
    I've played this role for a long
    time, and now it's over.
[17:24] ---
    Hello again, Misaki.
[17:27] ---
    Oh, Akiko.
[17:29] ---
    You certainly got me.
[17:32] ---
    Masayuki took every bit of my power.
[17:36] ---
    It seems your selfish obsession with
     the material world hasn't changed.
[17:44] ---
    You use people like puppets.
    How are you any different from me?
[17:49] ---
    Already a paradox has occured,
[17:51] ---
    and the brothers are fated
    to kill one another.
[17:54] ---
    Is this the future you saw?
[17:57] ---
    Pain is necessary for
     a world without conflict.
[18:03] ---
    Nonsense and platitudes.
[18:05] ---
    Now both worlds will be destroyed.
    Do you understand that?
[18:10] ---
    Or are you saying you see beyond it?
[18:16] ---
    You haven't changed...
[18:19] ---
    Parallel lines, extending into eternity.
[18:23] ---
    Well, neither of us need prophecy
    to understand this one thing.
[18:27] ---
    I will eliminate those brothers.
[18:30] ---
    Listen, Akiko. You don't need
    to cling to this world any longer.
[18:36] ---
    Ridiculous. This world
    won't last without me.
[18:41] ---
    You've done enough.
[18:45] ---
    The world you cling to requires
    both a body and a mind, right?
[18:51] ---
    Akiko, you're already dead
    in every way that matters.
[18:55] ---
    And there's proof:
[18:57] ---
    Your soul has already
    reincarnated into this world.
[19:03] ---
    All you are now is a creature
[19:07] ---
    that squeezes the last few drops
    out the thoughts she left behind.
[19:10] ---
    Realize that.
[19:14] ---
    Impossible...
[19:16] ---
    Akiko, I wished that you could've
    seen the same world I do...
[19:24] ---
    Misaki, no matter who I am,
    this is without a doubt my will.
[19:30] ---
    I was able to find your puppet via Masayuki.
[19:35] ---
    It's not over yet.
[19:48] ---
    There's a message from our boss.
[19:50] ---
    Report to the Operation Room, now.
[19:51] ---
    Okay.
[19:59] ---
    Yui Akiyama disappeared
    right in front of me.
[20:01] ---
    Where are the others?
[20:02] ---
    The situation is... well...
[20:05] ---
    What?
[20:06] ---
    Mike is dead.
[20:07] ---
    I can just barely detect
    Sonezaki and Muto's vitals.
[20:11] ---
    But the damage to their brains is extensive.
[20:13] ---
    They probably won't be waking up.
[20:16] ---
    I see... What about Takuya?
[20:18] ---
    He's fine.
[20:19] ---
    But... the prophet has
    ceased all vital activity.
[20:22] ---
    What?!
[20:24] ---
    You're certain?!
[20:26] ---
    We tried to revive her, but...
[20:29] ---
    B-But we have a final message
    that we've analyzed.
[20:33] ---
    "The root of all this is
    in Russia. Destroy it."
[20:38] ---
    We have the coordinates
    the prophet gave us, too.
[20:41] ---
    I'm heading back.
[20:42] ---
    Get the information ready so
    I can be briefed immediately.
[20:45] ---
    Call Takuya and Yuya, too.
[20:53] ---
    The numbers went crazy
    and then stabilized.
[20:56] ---
    But Mikuriya-san's vital signs are dropping.
[20:59] ---
    What happened in the Intermediary World?
[21:02] ---
    Mikuriya...
