[00:21] Shun
    Yu?
[00:27] Shun
    Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
[00:29] Shun
    I give! I give!
[00:31] Yu
    You're—
[00:32] Akito
    Shun! You okay?!
[02:17] Shun
    But I saw blood on the floor...

    Episode 3
    Our Beginning
    -Astable Multivibrator-
[02:20] Shun
    No one answered when I called,
    and the apartment looked ransacked...
[02:24] Shun
    I thought a crime was in progress,
     so I ran in and...
[02:27] Yu
    You guys are the crime in progress.
[02:30] Shun/Akito
    We're extremely sorry!
[02:31] Shun
    The door was unlocked,
    so I was sure something was wrong.
[02:34] Yu
    I locked the damn door.
[02:37] Yu
    It just unlocks sometimes
    when you turn the knob.
[02:39] Akito
    It's broken!
[02:41] Shun
    What about the tomato juice in the entryway?
[02:43] Yu
    I probably just knocked it over.
[02:45] Yu
    It's close quarters.
[02:46] Akito
    It wouldn't be if you didn't pack
    so much stuff in here!
[02:50] Yu
    Where the hell else am I supposed to put it?!
[02:52] Shun/Akito
    Of course! You're totally right!
[02:55] Akito
    Hey, Shun. That's Yu the actress, isn't it?
[02:59] Shun
    It totally is.
[03:01] Shun
    Mio's a fan of hers.
[03:02] Akito
    She doesn't have that star aura at all.
[03:05] Akito
    And she's tough as heck!
[03:08] Yu
    I can hear you, you know.
[03:10] Yu
    I studied aikido for a role once, that's all.
[03:14] Yu
    Well? Come in already.
[03:16] Yu
    How long are you gonna stand out there?
[03:18] Nozomi
    Um... can we leave our shoes on?
[03:22] Yu
    You got a problem?!
[03:28] sign
    Fueled by P2W
[03:28] Ryusei
    I'd never have guessed Yu-chan
    lived in a cluttered mess like this...
[03:32] Yu
    It's not a mess.
[03:33] Yu
    I've just got a lot of stuff.
[03:36] Yu
    What?
[03:37] Nozomi
    I heard a squish!
[03:39] Yu
    Would you lay off?
[03:44] Akito
    You never tidy up?
[03:46] Yu
    This is tidied up.
[03:47] Akito
    This?!
[03:49] Yu
    I happen to know where everything is.
[03:52] Ryusei
    A top-of-the-line GPU and cooling system.
[03:55] Ryusei
    The rig's fantastic,
    but the cable situation's a mess.
[03:58] Yu
    It's fine. It's still usable.
[04:02] Nozomi
    What's with the wigs?
[04:04] Yu
    For cosplay.
[04:09] Ryusei
    The water closet's all green.
[04:11] Yu
    Greenscreen for when I do livestreams.
[04:14] Nozomu
    You stream on the toilet?
[04:15] Yu
    It's not like they see that.
[04:17] Akito
    Oh, I know what this is!
[04:19] Akito
    It's for working out your wrists.
[04:24] Yu
    What are you people even doing here?!
[04:26] Nozomi
    Actually...
[04:28] Nozomi
    We really needed to talk to you.
[04:30] Yu
    You want me to join Team Fox One, right?
[04:35] Yu
    What else could it be?
[04:37] Yu
    I want to join too.
    That's why I came to the tryouts.
[04:40] Akito
    You weren't just mocking us?
[04:42] Shun
    Then what was with the
    "Big Bang Infinity" thing?
[04:46] Yu
    A working actress
    can't exactly go out as herself.
[04:49] Nozomi
    You really wanted to join the team?
[04:52] Yu
    My agency's so annoying.
[04:54] Yu
    They say esports doesn't
     "fit my public image."
[04:57] Shun
    Your public image?
[04:59] Yu
    Publicly, Yu the actress is
    demure, prim, and slightly ditzy.
[05:03] Yu
    She wouldn't go owning fools in some game.
[05:06] Akito
    Demure?
[05:08] Ryusei
    Prim?
[05:09] Yu
    You got a problem, then say it!
[05:12] Nozomi
    It's okay. You can still pull off "ditzy."
[05:15] Yu
    You wanna step outside?
[05:17] Shun
    Yu-san, please join Team Fox One!
[05:24] Shun
    In our tryout today...
[05:26] Shun
    Your aiming speed, accuracy,
[05:29] Shun
    hearing, environmental awareness,
    and showmanship...
[05:33] Shun
    They all demonstrated a high degree of skill.
[05:37] Yu
    Well, I do play a lot.
[05:39] Akito
    He's saying...
[05:40] Akito
    You have the environmental
    awareness to keep up
[05:43] Akito
    with your surroundings despite the chaos,
[05:45] Akito
    all with the style that cameras
    and viewers love to see!
[05:48] Akito
    Is that what acting allows you
    to bring to FPS games?!
[05:55] Yu
    You're overthinking it.
[05:56] Yu
    I just play lots of Xaxxerion in my downtime.
[05:59] Akito
    You just play? That's it?
[06:03] Nozomi
    But you've had a lot of roles lately.
[06:06] Nozomi
    You're in a movie... Aren't you busy?
[06:09] Yu
    That's hardly enough to be busy.
[06:12] Yu
    Acting means a lot of downtime.
[06:15] Yu
    Waiting's basically our job on set.
[06:18] Yu
    And on movies, we move
    between locations for filming.
[06:22] Yu
    If I have that kind of free time,
    I want to spend it on something I enjoy.
[06:26] Shun
    Something you enjoy?
[06:28] Yu
    Yeah. I really like games.
[06:32] Yu
    You shouldn't deny yourself things you enjoy.
[06:35] Yu
    That's my motto in life.
[06:38] Nozomu
    Even if you don't enjoy it,
    you should still clean some.
[06:41] Yu
    Just lay off!
[06:42] Shun
    Then let me ask you again.
[06:44] Shun
    Yu-san...
[06:46] Shun
    We can't pay you very much,
[06:49] Shun
    but we really want a strong player on our team.
[06:53] Yu
    Sure.
[06:55] Yu
    I wanted to join you anyway.
[06:57] Nozomi
    R-Really?
[07:00] Yu
    But...
[07:01] Yu
    I have a condition.
[07:03] Sota
    Okay, okay!
[07:05] Sota
    I'm sure we'll work it out.
[07:07] Sota
    You can have an alias and a mask, sure.
[07:10] Sota
    Everyone's registering
    under their handles anyway.
[07:14] Sota
    As long as your legal name and documents
    are real and we can verify your identity,
[07:18] Sota
    the rest is no problem.
[07:20] Sota
    That's all personal info. It won't be public.
[07:24] Yu
    So I really can participate
    without using my real name?
[07:28] Sota
    For this particular tournament, at least.
[07:31] Sota
    But you'll have to provide your costume.
[07:34] Sota
    We've got no funds to spare.
[07:36] Shun
    Does that mean... we get Big Bang Infinity?
[07:39] Akito
    No, that's beyond the pale.
[07:42] Ryusei
    You can leave this part to me.
[07:51] Yu
    What in the world is this?
[07:52] Ryu
    I borrowed it from a friend who makes cosplay.
[07:56] Ryu
    I've got a bunch, so pick your favorite.
[07:58] Yu
    I'd just stand out more!
[08:00] Yu
    I can't wear this crap in front of people!
[08:04] Nozomi
    But she is wearing it.
[08:05] Shun
    She put it on.
[08:10] Yu
    Hey, I like this.
[08:12] Ryusei
    You've got good taste!
[08:14] Ryusei
    Here's the outfit it goes with.
[08:17] Yu
    I'll stick with the mask.
[08:19] Sota
    Great! Now we've got all five players.
[08:23] Sota
    Let's make us an account
    and register with admin.
[08:27] Sota
    Real name: Saegusa Yu.
[08:29] Sota
    Sixteen. Female.
[08:31] Sota
    What's your handle gonna be?
[08:33] Yu
    My handle?
[08:35] Sota
    Not just the name, but the reading, too.
[08:38] Sota
    So the announcers know how to say it.
[08:41] Yu
    In that case, um...
[08:45] Yu
    Write in "gen'ei ninja" in kanji.

[09:33] Akito
    It's the handle I finally settled on
    for my eventual pro career!
[09:38] Shun
    Yeah? What's it mean?
[09:40] Akito
    It means "the will of God."
[09:43] Akito
    It's read "Zane"!
[09:47] Sota
    Huh? That's how you read this?
[09:49] Sota
    I put in the wrong reading...

    This sucks! Fix it!
[10:10] Sota
    Well, I just made the account,
    so I can't change it this season...
[10:16] Nozomi
    It's very Akito, at least.

[14:26] Yu
    Good idea.
[14:31] Nozomi
    Shun-chan.
[14:32] Nozomi
    Would Mio-chan like this?
[14:34] Nozomi
    It was mine, but...
[14:36] Shun
    Thanks. That'd be great.
[14:38] Nozomi
    I guess it's a little plain, though.
[14:41] Shun
    Why'd you buy something you thought was plain?
[14:43] Nozomi
    It's flashy by my standards!
[14:47] Ryusei
    Yu-chan.
[14:48] Ryusei
    I've got a huge favor to ask you.
[14:51] Yu
    Yeah?
[14:52] Ryusei
    I wish to request an autograph!
[14:55] Yu
    Yeah, okay.
[14:57] Ryusei
    I'd like an autograph from
    your drama co-star, Aki-chan!
[15:05] Akito
    What's wrong with you, man?
[15:07] Akito
    Got a second, Yu?
[15:09] Yu
    What is it?
[15:10] Akito
    I'd like you to sign this.

    Hey, this is my drama...

[15:18] Akito
    Of course I want yours.
[15:21] Yu
    Well, okay.
[15:24] Akito
    Could you make it out to "Mio-chan"?
[15:28] Shun
    Just so you know,
    we don't have a Blu-ray player.
[15:31] Akito
    For real?!
[15:32] Shun
    Stop trying to win Mio over.
[15:34] Shun
    I won't allow it.
[15:35] Akito
    Why not?
[15:36] Akito
    I'm serious about this, my brother!
[15:38] Shun
    I'll never be your brother!
[15:40] Akito
    C'mon, man, don't say that!
[15:42] Akito
    I'll take good care of her!
[15:44] Shun
    Shut up! Take a hike already!

    I'm glad you like it.
[16:03] Shun
    Nozo-nee'll be glad, too.
[16:06] Satomi

[16:11] Shun
    Oh... Yeah.
[16:13] Satomi
    But it's Saturday.
[16:15] Satomi
    Why don't you take a break?
[16:17] Shun
    I can't do that.
[16:19] Mio
    I want to hang out at Fox One, too!
[16:23] Shun
    H-Hey, great idea.
[16:25] Shun
    We can go there together.
[16:28] Mio
    Can we?!
[16:29] Shun
    Yeah, we'll make plans for another day.
[16:32] Mio
    Another day?
[16:33] Mio
    Not today?
[16:34] Shun
    Sorry... I'm busy today.
[16:38] Mio
    Oh.
[16:40] Mio
    But promise, okay?
[16:41] Shun
    Yeah. I promise.

    Here we'll determine the champion

    Then the knockouts tomorrow
[18:57] PBP
    will determine the tournament winner!
[19:00] Seshiru
    It's a round-robin B01.
[19:02] Seshiru
    In other words, you win one game,
    and you win your match.
[19:05] Seshiru
    Upsets happen all the time,
[19:07] Seshiru
    so even weak teams
    have a chance to make it through.
[19:09] Emiko
    You're saying luck plays a large role?
[19:12] Seshiru
    Yep.
[19:13] Seshiru
    If it were all down to skill,
    the same team would win every time.
[19:17] Seshiru
    A tournament format that encourages
    upsets lets new teams rise to the top
[19:21] Seshiru
    and makes it all more exciting!
[19:23] Emiko
    Huh, you know a lot about this.
[19:28] Akito
    The teams really are all over the place.
[19:31] Akito
    There's a whole range from weak to strong.
[19:34] Akito
    Of course, the strongest
    of them all is Sleeping Owl here.

[19:47] Sota
    No need to worry about that.
[19:51] Sota
    Sleeping Owl's top two,
    Kaizo and Rox, are truly pro.
[19:56] Sota
    But Kaizo-kun had a recent
    incident on a livestream.
[20:00] Sota
    Have a look.

    are just pretty damn ———?
[20:07] Kaizo
    I don't even wanna breathe
    the same air as those guys!
[20:12] Sota
    The whole thing exploded,
    and the sponsors raised hell.
[20:16] Sota
    It voided Kaizo-kun's player contract, see?
[20:19] Shun
    The internet is scary.
[20:21] Yu
    Yeah.
[20:22] Nozomi
    Aki-chan, delete your accounts.

    of spreading vitriol online.

    with Kaizo out of the picture.
