[00:16] ---
    With Kanata's memory forcefully being
    wrenched open, his metal's out of control...
[00:22] ---
    There's no way we could have predicted this...
[00:25] ---
    By creating an illusion of his younger brother,
[00:28] ---
    he failed to acknowledge the truth.
[00:31] ---
    People who never acknowledge the truth can never create true sounds.
[00:36] ---
    Was he really planning to go up against us so halfheartedly?
[00:40] ---
    What do they want with Kanata?
[00:56] ---
    BURAIKAN are ghosts...
[00:58] ---
    The metal wants to become one...
[01:01] ---
    And if it does, no one...
    will be... alone...
[01:06] ---
    Ryu!
[01:09] ---
    The time has come, Kanata Yatonokami!
[01:18] ---
    Change the world with your screams!
[01:30] ---
    Allen! Anne! Look at that!
[01:38] ---
    That's...?!
[01:45] ---
    People are solitary beings.
[01:48] ---
    Trapped in a cage by our own ego, unable to leave.
[01:49] ---
    -I just have to let go...
    Trapped in a cage by our own ego, unable to leave.
[01:50] ---
    -I don't need anyone else...
    -I just have to let go...
    Trapped in a cage by our own ego, unable to leave.
[01:51] ---
    Trapped in a cage by our own ego, unable to leave.
    -I don't need anyone else...
[01:52] ---
    -I don't need anyone else...
[01:53] ---
    Despite the desire to love, understand, and connect with someone,
    -I don't need anyone else...
[01:53] ---
    Despite the desire to love, understand, and connect with someone,
[01:59] ---
    it's something we hold ourselves back from.
[02:04] ---
    All we have to do is let go...
[02:08] ---
    Let go of ourselves and become one...
[02:11] ---
    All the absurdity, stupidity, and loneliness...
    We can be free from it all!
[02:21] ---
    What... is happening?
[02:26] ---
    We need to hurry!
[02:27] ---
    Yeah!
[02:31] ---
    BURAIKAN's gotten into Kanata's mind...
[02:33] ---
    What do you mean?
[02:35] ---
    Dammit!
[02:37] ---
    Give Kanata back!!
[02:39] ---
    -Satsuki!
    Give Kanata back!!
[02:44] ---
    No! Don't touch him!
[02:46] ---
    Satsuki!
[02:55] ---
    Creating a collective consciousness
    through phantometal...
[02:59] ---
    That is the experiment connecting
    everyone, through Paradox Live.
[03:03] ---
    Music can influence people.
[03:06] ---
    To draw out the metal's potential,
    the most effective way was through Phantom Lives.
[03:11] ---
    You were just ten years too early, Yasha.
[03:18] ---
    A battle where you can
    change the world through music...
[03:23] ---
    This place is a legendary venue that will save humanity!
[03:28] ---
    People's memories and consciousnesses,
    melded together by phantometal...
[03:34] ---
    With my research, all of the world's
    disputes will be no more!
[03:38] ---
    It will be a world where suffering,
    sadness, and anger no longer exist!
[03:43] ---
    I will become this world's messiah...!
[03:54] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[03:55] ---
    Is that what you truly want?
[03:59] ---
    What the hell are you doing here... Shura?
[04:07] ---
    Shiki!
[04:07] ---
    I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
[04:10] ---
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[04:11] ---
    Pull yourself together, Shiki!
[04:15] ---
    So this is what acute metal corrosion is like...
[04:18] ---
    Now I understand...
[04:21] ---
    Throw away your ego and the pain goes away...
[04:26] ---
    It certainly is tempting...
[04:28] ---
    Saimon...
[04:31] ---
    It's been ten years...
[04:34] ---
    Who'd've thought I'd meet you at this venue again...
[04:37] ---
    A collective consciousness through phantometal?
[04:41] ---
    Don't make me laugh.
[04:44] ---
    You just want puppets that you
    can manipulate to your liking.
[04:48] ---
    What do you know?!
[04:50] ---
    Through my research—
[04:51] ---
    You'll the become world's messiah?
    Through my research—
[04:51] ---
    You'll the become world's messiah?
[04:53] ---
    
[04:53] ---
    You sound like a spoiled brat
[04:55] ---
    with the musings of a madman.
[04:58] ---
    Here I thought your stupid scheme was
    completely destroyed ten years ago...
[05:04] ---
    But I guess I'm somewhat grateful.
[05:08] ---
    Because it's thanks to all this that I'm once again...
[05:13] ---
    ...standing beside you, Yasha.
[05:20] ---
    Yasha's metal...
[05:21] ---
    has actually been very useful, you know.
[05:26] ---
    These are the fruits of our labor from ten years ago.
[05:30] ---
    If your feelings are strong enough...
[05:33] ---
    you can bring forth an illusion
    of someone that no longer exists.
[05:38] ---
    Even if it's user...dropped dead.
[05:44] ---
    Didn't you know?
[05:46] ---
    It's the same as that time
    you two gave a splendid perform—!
[05:49] ---
    -Shut up.
    It's the same as that time
    you two gave a splendid perform—!
[05:50] ---
    -Shut up.
[05:52] ---
    How dare you use my partner like that.
[05:58] ---
    It's too late for that now!
[06:00] ---
    Just look at the stage!
[06:03] ---
    It's different from how it was ten years ago!
[06:07] ---
    No one can interfere with Kanata's rampage now!
[06:12] ---
    This is what we created: the power of phantometal!
[06:17] ---
    Soon enough, the world will be covered in metal...!
[06:24] ---
    Behold! Now is the time for humanity to become one!
[06:32] ---
    I've got no interest in listening to some madman
    ramble on about his delusions!
[06:52] ---
    Kanata!
[06:53] ---
    
[07:12] ---
    You're too late.
[07:15] ---
    The experiment has already hit a critical point!
[07:19] ---
    It's only a matter of time before all the metals begin to dissolve!
[07:23] ---
    Are you jealous?
[07:25] ---
    Saving the world through music...
[07:28] ---
    I was able to do what you and Yasha could not!
[07:33] ---
    You should be thanking me!
[07:34] ---
    Losing oneself...
[07:36] ---
    That's no way to save yourself...
[07:40] ---
    I'm here for an overdue ten year reunion.
[07:44] ---
    And I won't let your foolish delusions stop me!
[07:49] ---
    What the hell do you know, you bastard!?
[07:51] ---
    I'll kill you the same way Yasha was killed..!
[08:00] ---
    People choose their own paths to walk!
[08:04] ---
    I won't let you just take that away!
[08:10] ---
    W-Wait!
[08:28] ---
    It's been a while... partner.
[08:31] ---
    
[08:46] ---
    You guys...
[08:48] ---
    What took you so long?
[08:50] ---
    Suiseki! What's going on—
[08:52] ---
    Something big happened after all...
[08:55] ---
    A lookalike BURAIKAN appeared on stage...
[08:59] ---
    and released an illusion using their metal...
[09:02] ---
    How could that...
[09:03] ---
    They did that... and...
    How could that...
[09:03] ---
    They did that... and...
[09:06] ---
    it turns out Kanata's been doing
    the same for a long time now...
[09:11] ---
    The Nayuta that's been appearing in Paradox Live isn't the real Nayuta.
[09:17] ---
    He was an illusion Kanata created.
[09:19] ---
    Nayuta...was an illusion?
[09:22] ---
    The real Nayuta is probably dead...
[09:26] ---
    But Kanata never accepted that fact.
[09:31] ---
    That knockoff BURAIKAN went
    and opened Pandora's box...
[09:37] ---
    I'm sorry...
[09:39] ---
    We couldn't do anything...
[09:41] ---
    Suiseki...
[09:42] ---
    
[09:47] ---
    Allen!
[09:52] ---
    Was that...?
[09:58] ---
    Allen?
[10:01] ---
    I'm going to bring him back.
[10:04] ---
    Don't be stupid! It's too—
[10:13] ---
    I promised you...
[10:15] ---
    I promised that we'd meet again on this stage.
[10:20] ---
    But I ran away...
[10:23] ---
    It was my own weakness
    that left you alone on this stage.
[10:27] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[10:30] ---
    I know it's a little late, but
    I'll tell you in my own words—
[10:37] ---
    Allen!
[10:39] ---
    Kanata...
[10:42] ---
    When I first heard cozmez's sound,
    it stirred something my soul...
[10:47] ---
    I didn't know there was music out there like that!
[10:50] ---
    Even if Nayuta was an illusion...
[10:54] ---
    cozmez will always be cozmez.
[10:56] ---
    Your music was made with your thoughts
    of him, and his thoughts of you!
[11:02] ---
    It's all genuine...
[11:04] ---
    That's why your music is so beautiful.
[11:08] ---
    I finally understand...
[11:13] ---
    If I won Paradox Live,
    my music would be acknowledged...
[11:18] ---
    I thought if that happened, I'd be free
    of the things tying me down.
[11:23] ---
    But, you know...
[11:26] ---
    I was wrong...
[11:29] ---
    Anne and Hajun taught me something...
[11:32] ---
    All of us are tied down.
[11:34] ---
    No matter how hard we try, we can't change the past.
[11:39] ---
    But it's that pain...
[11:41] ---
    ...and that suffering that let's us sing.
[11:46] ---
    You're not alone, Kanata.
[11:49] ---
    No matter what anyone says, the Nayuta
    inside of you is the real Nayuta!
[11:55] ---
    If you let go of him now...
[11:59] ---
    ...you really will lose him!
[12:06] ---
    Reclaim your music!
[12:09] ---
    We can turn this pain into something bright!
[12:15] ---
    You have to remember, Kanata!
[12:17] ---
    Remember cozmez's music and our sound!
[12:24] ---
    Desire hidden in our chest
[12:27] ---
    I'll speak it out loud, this wish that I possess
[12:30] ---
    We can do it, I know we'll prevail
[12:33] ---
    Rail? Nah, to the top we'll blaze our own trail.
[12:36] ---
    Resolute tenacity, unshakable energy
[12:39] ---
    Promises kept to make an everlasting memory...
[12:42] ---
    Our thoughts are the same, I'll be by your side
[12:46] ---
    They're carved into our hearts, these scars on our minds
[12:48] ---
    This pain we accept, and share with our brothers
[12:51] ---
    Together this pain can become a warmth like no other
[12:56] ---
    A warmth to make the loneliness disappear
[12:58] ---
    Praise each other and the courage will kick into gear
[13:01] ---
    Let bewilderment flow, just let it all grow
[13:04] ---
    The bonds we share will drown out the pain
[13:08] ---
    Hey, they're...
[13:09] ---
    They're back...
[13:12] ---
    Kanata?
[13:14] ---
    Two as one, the ultimate rap star
[13:17] ---
    My soul's screamin' loud like a hellfire blaster
[13:20] ---
    I'm over here, is what I yell
[13:23] ---
    The first cry comin' up from the depths of Hell
[13:26] ---
    My make up, I made up
[13:28] ---
    My grace up, I Wake Up
[13:29] ---
    This pain and pride created me, Big Up Big Up
[13:32] ---
    Life so polished, what a sight,
    see it shine, so bright

[13:35] ---
    Your style always steals the spotlight, it's true
[13:38] ---
    Gazing up from the depths of Hell, Star Light
[13:42] ---
    It's rude to be so pretty, but that beauty's So Bright
[13:45] ---
    Be subversive, or coercive, it's alright
[13:48] ---
    I'll be the one to determine my own value, Get It Right
[13:53] ---
    The metal is pulsating...
[13:55] ---
    It's not alone anymore...
[13:59] ---
    Hey you guys. The live isn't over yet!
[14:03] ---
    That voice...
[14:05] ---
    Is that Shura from BURAIKAN?
[14:09] ---
    Keep the performance going!
[14:12] ---
    Take back your friend!
[14:15] ---
    Bet everything on your pride as a phantom rapper!
[14:21] ---
    Oh hell yeah! Let's do this!
[14:23] ---
    You guys ready to take on the pain?
[14:25] ---
    It's been a done deal for a long time now.
[14:28] ---
    Yeah Yeah Yeah
[14:29] ---
    The memories of that day, it's hard to manage
[14:32] ---
    There for life, unerasable damage
[14:34] ---
    A crimson memory from my mind won't depart
[14:36] ---
    A grief gnawing at the door to my heart
    Won't stop Knock Knocking

[14:39] ---
    But what's shocking is that
    even poison can be pain-blocking

[14:41] ---
    So we'll live on rocking and keep on walking
[14:43] ---
    Hands Up
[14:44] ---
    The reply you get could be the Answer
    Hands Up

[14:44] ---
    The reply you get could be the Answer
[14:46] ---
    But we're grateful for the pain and the sorrow
[14:48] ---
    And in one shot, with the smile our family gave us we can live to tomorrow
[14:51] ---
    Dropout outcasts, C'mon
[14:54] ---
    Outsiders coming together to save money? Go on
[14:56] ---
    From the Underground
[14:57] ---
    Comes a high-pitched shout
[14:59] ---
    We're too much for them, our Suiseki Group!
[15:01] ---
    A familial bond strengthened with a cup
[15:03] ---
    My life on the line, you'd be my back-up
[15:05] ---
    Uh, a full course of brute strength stocked up
[15:08] ---
    Do for my friends, Imma be your backup
[15:10] ---
    We're all family and we like to stand out
[15:12] ---
    No use being worthless, if you wanna fly then go all-out
[15:15] ---
    Who wants to sit around moping and crying?
[15:17] ---
    For bad boys, the future will come without even trying!
[15:19] ---
    A gutsy path you make can be the path to take!
[15:21] ---
    Screw common sense and fly away!
[15:28] ---
    Thoughts of remembrance, held down by constraint
[15:30] ---
    A fate you'll carry on your back like a saint
[15:32] ---
    To keep the people you love
    drawn in your heart with paint

[15:34] ---
    Let's go on a journey weaving poems without restraint
[15:37] ---
    A stray cat with nowhere to go
[15:39] ---
    Just needing the comforts of home, you know
[15:41] ---
    Talk at the bar all day, 24/7
[15:43] ---
    Connect some sound to it and then it's just like Heaven
[15:46] ---
    Does pain mean it'll be a pain?
[15:48] ---
    Nah, feeling no pain is worse but hard to ex-
[15:50] ---
    -plain, gotta listen to that sting in your chest
[15:52] ---
    Feelin' the same as your friends,
    wouldn't that be the best?

[15:55] ---
    Join in, Shikki!
[16:02] ---
    Kanata...
[16:05] ---
    I'm sorry I never said anything this whole time...
[16:10] ---
    Nayuta was always telling me...
[16:14] ---
    ...how you were the most important thing to him.
[16:19] ---
    Out of pure love, you were silent hereof
[16:21] ---
    But from that love, you and the Man In The Mirror are one and the same
[16:24] ---
    From the reflection in the mirror frame, the shape of happiness came
[16:27] ---
    Close, we could never get,
    we passed by but we still met

[16:30] ---
    Tender thoughts aren't tedium,
    rather they're strong and premium

[16:33] ---
    Worries and regrets settle in,
    but I'll never let them win

[16:37] ---
    Now look into my heart!
    With these memories, I'll never part!

[16:42] ---
    It's a treasure, so don't you dare depart!
[16:46] ---
    Kanata! You were more important
    to Nayuta than anything else!
[16:50] ---
    You can't just throw yourself away!
[16:57] ---
    You want to try doing hip hop?
[17:00] ---
    Yeah, I heard you trying it out the other day...
[17:04] ---
    I complimented you, didn't I?
[17:06] ---
    It's not that easy, you know...
[17:09] ---
    Why don't we give it a try?
[17:11] ---
    If we do it together, I'm sure it'll work out!
[17:15] ---
    We can get big with hip hop!
[17:17] ---
    We can earn a shitload of money
    and shove it in the faces of all those assholes!
[17:24] ---
    And!
[17:25] ---
    Hm?
[17:26] ---
    If we can leave behind a song...
    it'll live on forever.
[17:30] ---
    It'll be proof that we existed.
[17:33] ---
    That the two of us were here.
[17:36] ---
    So, let's do some hip hop!
[17:40] ---
    If we do, there's no way we'll lose.
[17:44] ---
    Right?
[17:47] ---
    That's right!
[17:50] ---
    Alrighty then!
[17:52] ---
    As long as we're together...
[17:54] ---
    ...we're invincible!
[18:00] ---
    Nayu...ta...
[18:06] ---
    Yo Yo Yo
[18:08] ---
    Listen Up Yo! Hey!
[18:09] ---
    Tighten up your belt or you're gone
[18:11] ---
    The pride you chose to survive on
[18:13] ---
    The path you chose, you'd better keep on
[18:15] ---
    Ride On
[18:16] ---
    Even if we get despond
[18:17] ---
    Then we'll be just fine with our bond!
[18:20] ---
    Elevating despair into hope,
    it's climbing steadily

[18:22] ---
    Make it happen with love as a synergy
[18:24] ---
    The sound ingrained in your soul, a beat to make you whole
[18:26] ---
    Unstoppable sounds of life, a trigger to pull
[18:28] ---
    Return the love you receive, that's not wrong.
[18:30] ---
    Yeah, jammed full of emotion, that's My Song
[18:33] ---
    The bonds you made, the never-fading Bruises
[18:35] ---
    No one can ever take away your Music!
[18:37] ---
    Shout it out! (Shout it out!)
    Pray it out! (Pray it out!)

[18:39] ---
    We're the phantom rappers!
[18:42] ---
    Overcome the pain that's flowin', you're on your way to Growin'
[18:44] ---
    Repaint the past and move forward
[18:46] ---
    Shout it out! (Shout it out!)
    Pray it out! (Pray it out!)

[18:48] ---
    We're the phantom rappers!
[18:51] ---
    Overcome your pain, We Gonna Show It
[18:53] ---
    Challenge to go beyond yourself, go for it!
[18:58] ---
    Kanata!
[19:02] ---
    Come back to us!
[19:02] ---
    Kanata!
[19:04] ---
    You're not...alone anymore!
[19:17] ---
    I'm...
[20:02] ---
    Ow!
[20:03] ---
    -Hey, get up!
[20:05] ---
    --Where am I?
    -Hey, get up!
[20:05] ---
    --Where am I?
[20:17] ---
    Welcome back, Kanata!
[20:22] ---
    Yeah...
[20:27] ---
    I'm back...
[20:32] ---
    Following the live performance the other day...
[20:34] ---
    ...Club Paradox has suddenly disappeared.
[20:37] ---
    Now, the Alter Trigger Corporation with deep ties
[20:40] ---
    to this incident, will be under police investigation.
[20:45] ---
    Alter Trigger became a global company
    through the discovery of phantometal...
[20:46] ---
    -Order up, one special ramen.
    Alter Trigger became a global company
    through the discovery of phantometal...
[20:48] ---
    Alter Trigger became a global company
    through the discovery of phantometal...
[20:49] ---
    -You know guys...
    Alter Trigger became a global company
    through the discovery of phantometal...
[20:49] ---
    Currently, all research has been brought to a halt...
    -You know guys...
[20:50] ---
    Currently, all research has been brought to a halt...
[20:51] ---
    -We never did meet the real BURAIKAN, did we?

    -We never did meet the real BURAIKAN, did we?
[20:54] ---
    I guess you're right...
[20:56] ---
    It's a shame.
[20:58] ---
    A legend will stay as that, just a legend...
[21:02] ---
    I wouldn't be so sure about that...
[21:04] ---
    Right, Chief?
[21:09] ---
    Hm?
[21:10] ---
    You guys seriously didn't know?
[21:14] ---
    Raimentei's owner...
[21:16] ---
    ...is actually Shura.
[21:20] ---
    Wha-WHAT?!
[21:25] ---
    Cheers!
[21:27] ---
    They even withdrew the eviction notice...
[21:32] ---
    They even made it so cheap it seemed
    like we were inheriting the land...
[21:36] ---
    In the end, it feels more like hush money.
[21:41] ---
    There's always another side to everything.
[21:44] ---
    Hey! What the hell's in this drink!?
[21:46] ---
    It's Ryu's special cocktail!
[21:50] ---
    You prick! I'm not letting you
    get away with this today!
[21:53] ---
    Looks like we were able to
    save our home after all.
[21:58] ---
    So, we can still stay here?
[22:02] ---
    Yeah. This is our home.
[22:06] ---
    For now and forever.
[22:16] ---
    Just five more minutes...
[22:18] ---
    Did you pull another all-nighter, Allen?
[22:21] ---
    Leave him be.
[22:24] ---
    Let's let him rest a little longer.
[22:27] ---
    Well, he has been through a lot.
[22:32] ---
    Paper...
[22:33] ---
    Paper...
[22:34] ---
    Really now...
    Paper...
[22:35] ---
    Really now...
[22:38] ---
    Paper!!
[22:39] ---
    Paper!!
[22:42] ---
    Inspiration has struck!
[22:42] ---
    Knock it off!!
    Inspiration has struck!
[22:44] ---
    Knock it off!!
[22:47] ---
    Don't!
[22:47] ---
    I always knew I was a genius!!
    Don't!
[22:52] ---
    I don't get it...
[22:54] ---
    What's so good about this place?
[22:59] ---
    Whenever we come up here, it's always cloudy,
[23:01] ---
    and the inside's filled with nothing but dust.
[23:05] ---
    It's special to me.
[23:11] ---
    It's our secret hangout spot.
[23:16] ---
    Ain't it cool?
[23:20] ---
    Why're you laughing, Kanata?
[23:22] ---
    Sorry!
[23:23] ---
    It's just...your hair...looks awful!
[23:25] ---
    That's what you're laughing about?!
[23:27] ---
    You're an idiot!
[23:28] ---
    I'm sorry!
[23:30] ---
    Nah, I won't forgive you!
