**[00:04] ---**
So who are you?
**[00:07] ---**
Why are you tailin' us?
**[00:10] ---**
Beautiful.
**[00:12] ---**
Never mind that, just answer me!
**[00:15] ---**
I'm Yusuke Kitagawa, a second-year
at Kosei High's fine-arts division.
**[00:19] ---**
I'm a pupil of and reside with
the painter Ichiryusai Madarame.
**[00:23] ---**
I'm striving to become an artist.
**[00:25] ---**
A painter?
**[00:26] ---**
Ever since I first saw her days ago,
**[00:30] ---**
I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
**[00:32] ---**
She stole my heart.
**[00:35] ---**
You're the woman I've been
searching for all this time!
**[00:38] ---**
I feel a passion from you
unlike anyone else.
**[00:41] ---**
I beg you! Please be my–
**[00:43] ---**
Are you for real?
**[00:45] ---**
Wait, you're doing this here?!
**[00:47] ---**
My...
**[00:49] ---**
Model for my next art piece!
**[02:24] ---**
You met the pupil by chance?
**[02:27] ---**
That's a little too convenient.
**[02:30] ---**
Ichiryusai Madarame,
a master of Japanese-style painting.
**[02:33] ---**
True, he was an unforgivable criminal.
**[02:37] ---**
A detestable adult who attained fame
and fortune through unscrupulous means.
**[02:43] ---**
He spent many years
hiding his horrible deeds.
**[02:46] ---**
How did you discover them
in such a short time?
**[02:51] ---**
Remember, and say nothing but the truth.
**[02:55] ---**
Understood?
**[03:09] ---**
Okay, pass your answer sheets to the front.
**[03:19] ---**
The tests are over!
**[03:21] ---**
The sense of freedom is so great!
**[03:24] ---**
Hey, let's go somewhere fun!
**[03:27] ---**
Or are you guys in the mood for
a little phantom thievery?
**[03:29] ---**
Idiot.
**[03:30] ---**
Have you forgotten about Akechi?
**[03:33] ---**
Our heads will be on the chopping block
if we make any careless moves.
**[03:36] ---**
We don't even have our next target yet.
**[03:38] ---**
Remember, it has to be unanimous.
**[03:41] ---**
I know! I was just throwin' it out there.
**[03:43] ---**
Right?
**[03:47] ---**
You listenin'?
**[03:49] ---**
That aside, what are we gonna do about this?
**[03:52] ---**
Oh, what that guy gave you?
**[03:55] ---**
*Madarame-sensei's art exhibition
starts this weekend.*
**[03:58] ---**
*I'll be helping him on the first day,
so why don't I give you the details then?*
**[04:03] ---**
I ain't goin'. No interest whatsoever.
**[04:06] ---**
Maybe I'll go.
**[04:08] ---**
Seriously?!
**[04:08] ---**
Lady Ann, don't tell me you've fallen
for Yusuke at first sight?!
**[04:12] ---**
It's not like that.
**[04:14] ---**
But he did give me free tickets
**[04:16] ---**
and doesn't "going to an art exhibit"
sound kinda mature?
**[04:19] ---**
And besides, Ichiryusai Madarame
is a totally famous painter
**[04:22] ---**
who was recently on
Good Morning Japan!
**[04:25] ---**
Poser!
**[04:27] ---**
Shut up!
**[04:29] ---**
Madarame...
**[04:32] ---**
What are you doing up here?
**[04:36] ---**
What do you want?
**[04:38] ---**
I just thought you three
make an interesting combination.
**[04:41] ---**
The troublemaker, the girl of rumor,
and the infamous transfer student.
**[04:45] ---**
Plus you all had a history
with Mr. Kamoshida, huh?
**[04:48] ---**
Who are you?
**[04:49] ---**
She's the student council president.
**[04:51] ---**
Makoto Niijima. Nice to meet you.
**[04:56] ---**
Somethin' you want?
**[04:57] ---**
The roof is off limits due to the incident.
**[05:01] ---**
Follow the rules and keep out
from now on, all right?
**[05:04] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[05:07] ---**
Let's go.
**[05:18] ---**
Now we can't use the roof anymore.
**[05:21] ---**
Should we find another place to meet?
**[05:22] ---**
Be cautious of that girl.
She seems rather sharp.
**[05:28] ---**
Come on, shake a leg!
We're on a schedule here!
**[05:33] ---**
Not much time left!
**[05:35] ---**
A little to the right with that!
Yes, right there! Okay!
**[05:41] ---**
Look at all those people!
**[05:42] ---**
So you ended up coming too, Ryuji?
**[05:45] ---**
You guys told me to come, remember?!
**[05:47] ---**
Say, isn't that Madarame?
**[05:48] ---**
Your imagination continually astonishes us.
**[05:50] ---**
Wow, the real thing!
**[05:51] ---**
It's hard to believe such expansive styles
stem from just one person...
**[05:51] ---**
I'm glad I came on the first day!
**[05:55] ---**
Where does all your inspiration come from?
**[05:58] ---**
It's rather difficult to put into words, but...
**[06:03] ---**
They naturally well up from within my heart
like bubbles rising to surface in the spring.
**[06:10] ---**
What's important is distancing oneself
from worldly desires like fame and fortune.
**[06:14] ---**
My atelier is a modest shack, but it's more
than enough to pursue true beauty.
**[06:19] ---**
A shack?
**[06:20] ---**
I see. So the act of emptying one's mind
gives rise to inner beauty.
**[06:24] ---**
Impressive as always, Master Madarame!
**[06:27] ---**
The word "Master"
doesn't mean much to me.
**[06:30] ---**
If you look at my works and feel something,
I can't ask for anything more.
**[06:34] ---**
So please, take a look around and enjoy.
**[06:39] ---**
Hey, you hear that?
He has a totally different perspective.
**[06:42] ---**
I could see myself becoming a fan!
**[06:44] ---**
Is that right?
**[06:47] ---**
Ms. Takamaki!
**[06:49] ---**
You came.
**[06:50] ---**
H-Hello.
**[06:52] ---**
You two came also, huh?
**[06:53] ---**
So what?
**[06:55] ---**
Make sure you don't get in the way
of the other guests.
**[06:58] ---**
Let's go. I'll show you around.
**[07:00] ---**
I'd like to speak more about
the picture I'd like to draw, too.
**[07:03] ---**
O-Okay...
**[07:05] ---**
See you guys later.
**[07:07] ---**
What do you wanna do?
Take a look around?
**[07:10] ---**
I'm curious about something.
**[07:13] ---**
I didn't know there were
so many types of Japanese art.
**[07:17] ---**
Usually, one concentrates
on their own style.
**[07:19] ---**
However, Sensei creates all this by himself.
**[07:23] ---**
He's special.
**[07:26] ---**
Oh, there! That's the one I wanted to see!
**[07:31] ---**
You... wanted to see this?
**[07:33] ---**
Yeah! I saw it on TV
and it really made an impression on me!
**[07:37] ---**
I guess it's the painter's anger?
**[07:39] ---**
I'm not sure, but I sense this
strong frustration from it.
**[07:43] ---**
Madarame seems like such a cheerful and
gentlemanly person in interviews,
**[07:47] ---**
to think he could make such a piece...
**[07:50] ---**
There are better pieces than this one.
**[07:53] ---**
Come, this way.
**[07:59] ---**
Not yet, Ryuji?
**[08:03] ---**
Ever heard of, "There's little difference
between a poor thinker and a deep sleeper?"
**[08:07] ---**
Shut up! Gimme another minute!
**[08:11] ---**
What's going on here?
**[08:12] ---**
Sorry, but there's something
that's been bugging me.
**[08:15] ---**
Yay! Doesn't count!
**[08:17] ---**
P-Petty!
**[08:19] ---**
This.
**[08:21] ---**
The Phan-Site?
**[08:24] ---**
He said the word "shack" the artist used
stuck in his mind.
**[08:26] ---**
He thinks the comments might be
referring to Madarame.
**[08:30] ---**
"A master of the Japanese arts is
plagiarizing his pupil's work."
**[08:37] ---**
"He makes his pupils live in a shack
and treats them like slaves.
**[08:40] ---**
He teaches nothing
and bosses them around.
**[08:43] ---**
He treats them inhumanely,
as if disciplining a dog"
**[08:47] ---**
From these comments alone,
we've got plagiarism and abuse.
**[08:50] ---**
I don't believe it.
A kindly master painter like that?
**[08:54] ---**
That's what I said to him,
**[08:58] ---**
but if it's true, it'll be a great catch!
**[09:00] ---**
He could be our next target.
**[09:02] ---**
Think about it though.
**[09:04] ---**
He's in the limelight, which would make it
dangerous for us.
**[09:09] ---**
I know!
**[09:11] ---**
Do you really?
**[09:13] ---**
So what should we do?
**[09:15] ---**
We should first confirm
whether or not it's true.
**[09:17] ---**
Of course, that's only if you agree.
**[09:20] ---**
Yeah. Well, I guess...
**[09:22] ---**
All right! Then we've got a favor
to ask of you, Lady Ann.
**[09:27] ---**
Me?
**[09:30] ---**
Congratulations on the great success
of this exhibition.
**[09:35] ---**
Just the first day is over.
A bit early to call it a "great success."
**[09:38] ---**
Oh, you're too modest.
**[09:40] ---**
After seeing that crowd, I could tell.
**[09:43] ---**
It's already...
**[09:44] ---**
What did Yusuke say?
**[09:46] ---**
When I texted him about the modeling job,
he sent me an address.
**[09:50] ---**
He said it's Madarame's studio.
**[09:53] ---**
Right, he said he lives here.
**[09:56] ---**
For real?
**[09:58] ---**
This is actually the place?
**[09:59] ---**
The address is right.
**[10:00] ---**
MADARAME
**[10:01] ---**
And "Madarame" is on the door plate.
**[10:04] ---**
People really live here?
**[10:06] ---**
Maybe.
**[10:07] ---**
- Ann.
- R-Right.
**[10:14] ---**
*Who is it?*
**[10:15] ---**
Um, it's Takamaki–
**[10:17] ---**
*I'll be right out!*
**[10:21] ---**
Takamaki-san... And you two, as well?
**[10:24] ---**
Sorry to disappoint.
**[10:26] ---**
I don't recall inviting you.
**[10:28] ---**
U-Um, actually...
**[10:30] ---**
Are the rumors about your teacher true?
**[10:34] ---**
The plagiarism? The abuse?
**[10:36] ---**
It's all online.
**[10:45] ---**
You're swayed by some stupid rumors?
**[10:47] ---**
B-But...
**[10:49] ---**
If he hated children so much to harm them,
he would never allow pupils into his home.
**[10:54] ---**
I'm the one residing here, and I say it's
not true, so it's beyond a doubt.
**[10:58] ---**
I had no family when Sensei took me in
and raised me into what you see now.
**[11:03] ---**
If you continue to ridicule the man
I owe my life to, I'll make you pay.
**[11:06] ---**
Wait. We were just...
**[11:11] ---**
Yusuke.
**[11:14] ---**
What's going on out here?
**[11:19] ---**
Yusuke, what is this?
**[11:21] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[11:22] ---**
These people are slandering you
with baseless rumors.
**[11:25] ---**
Rumors?
**[11:28] ---**
Forgive them.
**[11:30] ---**
I've heard of rumors
that cast a poor light on me.
**[11:33] ---**
They must've heard and came in worry for
their friend's safety, whom you asked to model.
**[11:39] ---**
I can understand that.
**[11:41] ---**
But...
**[11:43] ---**
Even I doubt that a cranky old man
like myself could be liked by everyone.
**[11:47] ---**
But Yusuke has done nothing wrong.
Would you look upon him favorably?
**[11:51] ---**
I beg of you.
**[11:54] ---**
Please stop, Sensei! You don't have to...
**[11:59] ---**
But enough chatting on the doorstep.
Come in, everyone.
**[12:02] ---**
Now, if you'll excuse me...
**[12:05] ---**
Do you believe someone like that
would plagiarize or abuse people?
**[12:10] ---**
This is actually perfect.
I want to show you something.
**[12:15] ---**
When you see this, I'm sure
you'll forget of these idiotic rumors.
**[12:21] ---**
Hey!
**[12:23] ---**
Where are you going?
**[12:24] ---**
I'm just gonna have a look around.
**[12:27] ---**
Morgana!
**[12:28] ---**
Takamaki-san?
**[12:29] ---**
Y-Yes?
**[12:31] ---**
This is what I wanted to show all of you.
**[12:34] ---**
Sensei's maiden work, his masterpiece.
**[12:37] ---**
"Sayuri."
**[12:38] ---**
This was the painting that
inspired me to become an artist.
**[12:41] ---**
Although the original was stolen,
its whereabouts unknown...
**[12:45] ---**
Beautiful.
**[12:48] ---**
I don't know all this art stuff,
but even I can tell that's impressive.
**[12:52] ---**
After I was orphaned,
Sensei took me in and raised me.
**[12:56] ---**
I respect him as a person
and as a teacher.
**[13:08] ---**
When I first saw you, I felt the same
emotion as when I saw this painting.
**[13:13] ---**
I wish to pursue beauty like this.
**[13:16] ---**
Please become my model.
**[13:21] ---**
Pardon me, but now I must assist Sensei.
**[13:25] ---**
I hope to continue
this conversation another day.
**[13:28] ---**
I'm kind of taken aback.
**[13:31] ---**
Yeah...
**[13:32] ---**
Was the painting that good?
**[13:34] ---**
Morgana, when did you get back?
**[13:37] ---**
Being elusive is a phantom thief's duty.
**[13:42] ---**
It seems like Madarame
really is a good person.
**[13:46] ---**
I can tell Kitagawa-kun
sincerely respects him.
**[13:50] ---**
Someone who's been on TV bowed to us.
**[13:54] ---**
Maybe the rumors were mistaken?
**[13:57] ---**
Maybe.
**[13:58] ---**
We were off the mark this time.
**[14:00] ---**
Let's go home.
**[14:02] ---**
But it really was a shack.
**[14:05] ---**
Yeah, right?
**[14:09] ---**
What's up?
**[14:10] ---**
The Meta-Nav is reacting.
**[14:13] ---**
No way!
**[14:13] ---**
*You have a hit.*
**[14:15] ---**
A hit?!
**[14:16] ---**
How?! Was it picking up our conversation?
**[14:20] ---**
I don't know.
**[14:21] ---**
But if this is true,
**[14:23] ---**
Madarame's desires are warped enough
for him to have a Palace of his own.
**[14:27] ---**
That old man?
**[14:28] ---**
I don't believe it.
**[14:30] ---**
Let's check it out.
**[14:31] ---**
We know his name and location.
**[14:34] ---**
All we need is what Madarame
mistakes this "shack" for.
**[14:39] ---**
You mean like how Kamoshida
thought the school was his castle?
**[14:42] ---**
Whatever. Say what comes to mind.
**[14:45] ---**
I've got nothin'.
**[14:47] ---**
This is so sudden.
My feelings are behind the curve.
**[14:50] ---**
Anything is fine, I said!
**[14:53] ---**
Traditional Japanese paintings...
A building related to art...
**[14:58] ---**
A museum.
**[14:59] ---**
*Beginning navigation.*
**[15:11] ---**
It really is here!
**[15:13] ---**
It's so extravagant...
But to the point that it's gaudy.
**[15:16] ---**
A Palace is a scenery driven by desires.
**[15:19] ---**
For Madarame, this is the true form
of his shack.
**[15:23] ---**
I still can't believe it...
**[15:25] ---**
He is an artist, so it ain't weird
for him to have a Palace.
**[15:29] ---**
Maybe in the pursuit of beauty?
**[15:30] ---**
I don't know, but...
**[15:32] ---**
It probably ain't related to
plagiarism or abuse either.
**[15:35] ---**
We'll find out by
going inside and investigating.
**[16:01] ---**
There ain't any Shadows.
**[16:02] ---**
What is this? A portrait exhibition room?
**[16:05] ---**
Hey, look at this.
**[16:07] ---**
The guy we met in Mementos...
Nakanohara?
**[16:11] ---**
It's definitely him. Natsuhiko Nakanohara.
**[16:14] ---**
Instead of the title of the work,
his name and age are written down.
**[16:18] ---**
Then these are...
**[16:22] ---**
Did you see the faces of those brats earlier?
**[16:25] ---**
One simple bow was enough to fool them!
**[16:29] ---**
This is how you use the
influential power of the media!
**[16:32] ---**
That's why they call you Lord Madarame!
**[16:35] ---**
Plagiarism? Abuse?
**[16:37] ---**
What's wrong with that?
**[16:38] ---**
The work of my disciples is an offering to me
in exchange for my care!
**[16:42] ---**
It's merely an investment.
**[16:44] ---**
But lately, the wretches are quick
to rebel and flee.
**[16:47] ---**
That's why they need to be broken in,
so they don't defy their master!
**[16:53] ---**
Still, one good one remains.
**[16:56] ---**
Yusuke has talent.
**[16:57] ---**
And he feels indebted to me.
**[16:59] ---**
I'll work him until I tire of him...
No, until he dies!
**[17:03] ---**
If I didn't, his works would
never see the light of day!
**[17:07] ---**
This isn't just for his sake,
but for the sake of the art world!
**[17:13] ---**
You're a genius, Lord Madarame!
**[17:19] ---**
Skull!
**[17:22] ---**
That bastard can't get away with it!
**[17:25] ---**
He's gonna work Yusuke until he dies?!
**[17:27] ---**
Are we gonna let that scumbag
prey on him?!
**[17:31] ---**
You're right.
**[17:33] ---**
But why didn't he say anything?
**[17:35] ---**
He has to know, right?
**[17:37] ---**
That doesn't matter!
**[17:39] ---**
Changing that jackal's heart
will solve everything!
**[17:41] ---**
It's not that simple.
**[17:43] ---**
What?!
**[17:44] ---**
Ideas?
**[17:46] ---**
Let's confirm it directly.
**[17:52] ---**
S-Sorry. Being here yesterday and today...
**[17:55] ---**
Actually, Kitagawa-kun,
I wanted to ask–
**[17:57] ---**
Don't move.
**[17:58] ---**
We don't have time for this!
**[17:59] ---**
Quiet! You'll break my concentration.
**[18:05] ---**
S-So, Kitagawa-kun...
**[18:10] ---**
You hear me?
**[18:13] ---**
Hello?
**[18:16] ---**
He doesn't seem to be listening.
**[18:19] ---**
Hey, are we gonna wait until he's done?
**[18:22] ---**
And when will that be?
**[18:24] ---**
Who knows...
**[18:25] ---**
Are you done?
**[18:27] ---**
No good. I can't paint it.
**[18:29] ---**
Sorry. I guess I'm just not model material...
**[18:32] ---**
I can't paint a perfect nude painting
when you're wearing clothes.
**[18:36] ---**
N-Nude?!
**[18:37] ---**
What are you thinkin', you perv?!
**[18:40] ---**
You're still here?
**[18:41] ---**
And it's a good thing we are!
**[18:43] ---**
You lied to us, didn't you?
**[18:46] ---**
What?
**[18:47] ---**
There's no point in hidin' stuff from us.
**[18:49] ---**
Those rumors were true, weren't they?
**[18:52] ---**
This again?
**[18:53] ---**
I said it won't work!
**[18:55] ---**
Your sensei's seriously messed up.
**[18:58] ---**
He just thinks of his pupils as tools.
**[18:59] ---**
That's why he doesn't give a damn
whether he steals their work of beats them.
**[19:02] ---**
Right?!
**[19:04] ---**
I told you...
**[19:04] ---**
It's been bothering me since that day.
**[19:06] ---**
At the exhibit, you tried to steer me
away from that one painting.
**[19:11] ---**
I wondered why you spoke that way of
a painting created by your respected teacher.
**[19:18] ---**
But the truth is you painted that, didn't you?
**[19:22] ---**
I knew it.
**[19:25] ---**
You couldn't go against him, could you?
**[19:28] ---**
Because you owe him. But...
**[19:30] ---**
We can help you–
**[19:32] ---**
Don't!
**[19:34] ---**
It's just as you say.
We're... our sensei's "artwork."
**[19:39] ---**
But don't misunderstand.
**[19:40] ---**
I offered my ideas to him willingly.
So it can't be called plagiarism.
**[19:45] ---**
Then...
**[19:47] ---**
Sensei has... been in a slump.
**[19:50] ---**
If he can just get past it, I'm sure he'll...
**[19:52] ---**
That's probably the line he's been selling,
while plagiarizing as he goes!
**[19:56] ---**
All his other pupils ran off!
Aren't you the only one left?!
**[20:01] ---**
What's wrong with a pupil
helping his master?!
**[20:04] ---**
There are no victims here!
**[20:06] ---**
Stop pushing your
self-centered righteousness on me!
**[20:08] ---**
What?!
**[20:12] ---**
Don't come back again.
**[20:13] ---**
Leave me alone.
**[20:16] ---**
I don't think he's willing
to talk to us anymore.
**[20:18] ---**
What's with that guy?
**[20:20] ---**
Why is he so stubborn?
He's the victim!
**[20:23] ---**
Maybe it's what he said before,
**[20:26] ---**
that Madarame took him in
when he had no relatives.
**[20:29] ---**
Yeah, but still...
**[20:35] ---**
Remember that stalker, Nakanohara?
**[20:39] ---**
Nakanohara...
**[20:40] ---**
He wants to meet up,
about changing someone's heart.
**[20:44] ---**
Apparently it's someone really terrible.
**[20:47] ---**
He doesn't want to post their name
onto the Phan-Site.
**[20:50] ---**
Why tell me?
**[20:51] ---**
Because we're good friends, right?
I just thought I'd share info with you.
**[20:56] ---**
I told him to go to Shibuya after school.
**[20:58] ---**
I also decided on the sign,
so give my regards to the Phantom Thieves.
**[21:02] ---**
Bye!
**[21:04] ---**
Sign?
**[21:08] ---**
Natsuhiko Nakanohara?
**[21:10] ---**
Don't move.
**[21:12] ---**
Who's the person you want
to have a change of heart?
**[21:15] ---**
I'm sure you've heard the name before.
**[21:17] ---**
A traditional Japanese artist...
Ichiryusai Madarame.
**[21:22] ---**
He plagiarizes his disciples' work.
**[21:25] ---**
He releases their paintings,
but takes full credit for them.
**[21:28] ---**
I used to be one of his disciples.
**[21:31] ---**
There was another,
a very talented senior of mine.
**[21:34] ---**
But he was so miserable
over the plagiarizing...
**[21:37] ---**
that he committed suicide.
**[21:40] ---**
I don't want the same tragedy
to happen again.
**[21:42] ---**
Right now he has one pupil.
**[21:45] ---**
I asked him if he found it
painful to stay with Madarame...
**[21:50] ---**
And do you know what he said?
**[21:52] ---**
"If I could leave, I would!"
**[21:55] ---**
So please!
**[21:57] ---**
Please!
**[22:05] ---**
Well, that settles it, right?
**[22:07] ---**
No objections.
**[22:09] ---**
We finally know
how Kitagawa-kun really feels.
**[22:12] ---**
Then it's unanimous.
**[22:14] ---**
What should we do, leader?
**[22:17] ---**
Our next target is...
**[22:20] ---**
Madarame.
