E9 - Paradox Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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...
