[00:03] Stardust
    Let's go over the rules.
[00:06] Stardust
    If you're able to hit me in the face even
    once, we'll count it as your victory.
[00:11] Shy
    And you're sure about this?
[00:15] Iko
    Momijiyama-san...
[00:19] Stardust
    Shy, once this coin hits
    the floor, the fight begins.
[00:25] Stardust
    Got it?
[00:26] Shy
    Yes.
[00:30] Iko
    Momijiyama-san!
    Don't push yourself too hard!
[00:39] Shy
    Here I go!
SIGN    Episode 4
    A Heartless Person
[02:18] Iko
    Huh? Wh-What just happened?
[02:22] Stardust
    What's the matter? No need to hold back.
[02:30] Stardust
    You clearly don't know how to punch someone.
[02:33] Shy
    H-He's evading my attacks...
[02:36] Shy
    Or rather...
[02:38] Shy
    Why, you—
[02:38] Shy
    I can't reach him!
[02:43] Stardust
    You see, this...
[02:47] Stardust
    is how you punch someone.
[02:54] Stardust
    People often say I'm a heartless person.
[02:59] Stardust
    In other words, I lack empathy.
[03:02] Stardust
    I have absolutely no problem trampling
    on someone else's feelings.
[03:06] Stardust
    Because I can't empathize with other people's
    pain, I have no reservations doing so.
[03:12] Stardust
    I get it. You have a lot of empathy.
[03:16] Stardust
    You care about others, pity them,
    and do things for their sake.
[03:21] Stardust
    That's a wonderful thing.
[03:24] Stardust
    But that's why you're weak,
    and why you can't defeat anyone.
[03:28] Stardust
    Because your heart is rejecting
    it—rejecting victory.
[03:37] Iko
    Wh-Why aren't her attacks hitting
    him? Stardust isn't even moving.
[03:42] Unilord
    The Heart-shift bracelets...
[03:44] Unilord
    don't just possess the power to Heart-shift,
    but will answer the wearer's heart
[03:48] Unilord
    and grant them special powers.
[03:52] Unilord
    Stardust's heart cannot be swayed by anyone.
[03:56] Unilord
    And his unwavering heart
    controls the flow around him.
[04:00] Unilord
    The air, power, and heat around him...
[04:04] Unilord
    They are all under his control.
[04:08] Stardust
    Yes. That's...
[04:10] Stardust
    my power.
[04:15] Stardust
    You'd better bust your ass to
    find your power, or else...
[04:19] Stardust
    you won't survive.
[04:24] Stardust
    Get angry. Loathe me.
    Think about wanting to kill me.
[04:30] Stardust
    Wish for me to die.
[04:34] Stardust
    Or else...
[04:37] Stardust
    I will kill you.
[04:41] Spirit
    Teru-chan!
[04:42] Stardust
    Stay back!
[04:44] Stardust
    If you enter, she loses.
[04:47] Spirit
    You're going way too far with this!
[04:50] Stardust
    Too far? How so?
[04:53] Spirit
    You're such a...
[04:56] Stardust
    I'm used to being glared at.
[04:59] Stardust
    It does nothing to me.
[05:04] Stardust
    Well? Are you done now?
[05:07] Stardust
    You're weak, and you've
    got Spirit all worked up.
[05:11] Shy
    No... I'm not...
[05:15] Stardust
    That so?
[05:23] Spirit
    Unilord! Please stop him! This is pointless!
[05:27] Unilord
    I cannot.
[05:29] Spirit
    Why?!
[05:31] Unilord
    Her...
[05:33] Unilord
    Shy's Heart-shift has not come undone.
[05:37] Unilord
    Which means...
[05:39] Unilord
    she hasn't given up yet.
[05:42] Iko
    Momijiyama-san!
    That's enough! Let's go home!
[05:46] Iko
    You don't have to go through
    all this just to be a hero!
[05:49] Iko
    I know just how hard you worked!
[05:54] Shy
    K-Koishikawa-san...
[06:01] Stardust
    What do you think you're doing?
[06:04] Shy
    I-I didn't understand at first...
[06:11] (Flashback) Shy
    I-I'll try to win! I'll do my best!
[06:14] Shy
    I-I'm so weak, a scaredy-cat,
    a crybaby, a complete failure...
[06:21] Shy
    So I have no idea why I said I'd win...
[06:25] Stardust
    Why does something feel off?
[06:28] Shy
    I just remembered...
    Whenever I started whining...
[06:35] Shy
    I'd hear a voice.
[06:38] Shy
    A voice that calls my name...
[06:39] Iko
    Momijiyama-san!
[06:41] Shy
    That's what lit the flames
    of courage within me.
[06:42] Iko
    Momijiyama-san!
[06:49] Iko
    Flames...
[06:52] Shy
    Thank goodness.
[06:54] Shy
    If I can still stand, I can still do this.
[06:58] Unilord
    It's gradually awakening...
[07:03] Unilord
    The power of Shy's Heart-shift bracelets.
[07:07] Stardust
    Flames, eh?
[07:09] Stardust
    I guess I just got a glimpse of your powers.
[07:13] Stardust
    But on its own, that means nothing.
[07:17] Shy
    Right.
[07:18] Shy
    He's right... I need to
    be able to use my powers.
[07:25] Spirit
    She's fast!
[07:26] Stardust
    How hot the flames are
    reflects her life force itself.
[07:30] Stardust
    It's quite simple, but...
[07:34] Stardust
    She's able to draw out her strength
    in a straightforward way.
[07:40] Stardust
    So that's your power?
[07:42] Stardust
    It doesn't suit you.
[07:45] Stardust
    You're too weak for it.
[07:47] Shy
    I-I mean, yes, I seem weak, but...
[07:50] Shy
    I-I definitely just saw it!
[07:53] Shy
    You dodged my flames just now.
[07:57] Shy
    Which means...
[07:59] Shy
    My flames can hit you!
[08:04] Shy
    Huh?
[08:06] Stardust
    Are you stupid?
[08:08] Stardust
    It's that naïveté that will ensure you lose.
[08:11] Stardust
    The naïveté of not being
    able to kill your opponent.
[08:19] Stardust
    And sooner or later,
[08:20] Stardust
    you will be killed by someone
    who's heartless, like me.
[08:28] Stardust
    I guess we're done.
[08:30] Stardust
    You're probably lucky that you
    get to quit being a hero here.
[08:37] Shy
    You're a liar...
[08:40] Shy
    Truly.
[08:43] Iko
    Momijiyama-san...
[08:44] Shy
    Saying you don't have a heart...
[08:48] Shy
    You knew how weak my
    heart was from the start.
[08:54] Shy
    That's why you didn't hold back.
[08:57] Shy
    So that I could attack you
    with everything I had.
[09:01] Shy
    So that I could hate you.
[09:05] Shy
    If that kindness isn't an indication
    of your heart... then what is?
[09:13] Stardust
    I see... I get it now.
    Why something felt off...
[09:18] Shy
    And that's why I need to respond...
[09:22] Shy
    to your kindness.
[09:24] Stardust
    This girl's eyes...
[09:27] Stardust
    don't have the slightest
    gleam of hatred in them.
[09:31] Stardust
    Normally, when something
    precious to you is hurt,
[09:36] Stardust
    you can at least see a glimmer
    of hatred in someone's eyes.
[09:40] Stardust
    Not that that's ever bugged me.
[09:44] Stardust
    And yet, this girl...
[09:47] Shy
    Here I come!
[09:48] Stardust
    She said that I'm kind?
    What kind of rubbish—
[09:53] Stardust
    Am I actually mad about this?
[09:59] (Flashback) Voice
    You're heartless.
[09:59] (Flashback) Voice
    How cruel.
[10:01] (Flashback) Voice
    You devil spawn.
[10:02] (Flashback) Voice
    Hypocrite.
[10:03] (Flashback) Voice
    You piece of shit!
[10:06] Unilord
    He's wavering.
[10:08] Unilord
    Stardust's heart, which has never
    been moved by anyone, is wavering.
[10:11] Stardust
    So what if I am?!
    Call me whatever you want!
[10:17] (Flashback) Friend
    Davie.
[10:19] (Flashback) Friend
    What happened to your face, Davie?
[10:24] (Flashback) Young Davie
    I got jumped by a bunch
    of jerks again, that's all.
[10:27] (Flashback) Young Davie
    They wouldn't shut up about me
    not having a heart or whatever.
[10:30] (Flashback) Friend
    Again?
[10:32] (Flashback) Young Davie
    I didn't really feel anything when I hit
    them, so I guess they were right.
[10:39] (Flashback) Friend
    So you actually hit back?
[10:41] (Flashback) Young Davie
    Yeah, and that's when they got me.
[10:44] (Flashback) Friend
    Why'd you hit them back?
[10:47] (Flashback) Young Davie
    Why? I mean...
[10:49] (Flashback) Friend
    It irritated you, didn't it?
    Getting told you don't have a heart.
[10:53] (Flashback) Friend
    If you felt irritated, that just
    means you do have a heart!
[10:57] (Flashback) Young Davie
    That seems like a far-fetched argument.
[11:00] (Flashback) Friend
    If you got annoyed by them
    saying you don't have a heart,
[11:02] (Flashback) Friend
    that just means you want to
    become a person with a heart.
[11:10] (Flashback) Young Davie
    I don't even understand
    what it means to have a heart.
[11:14] (Flashback) Friend
    Well, I'm pretty sure no one
    else in the world does, either.
[11:22] (Flashback) Friend
    I know, Davie. You should strive to
    be the nicest person in the world!
[11:28] (Flashback) Friend
    That'll throw those bozos and
    the rest of the world for a loop!
[11:31] (Flashback) Friend
    You'd prove how worthless all the
    labels people throw around are.
[11:34] (Flashback) Friend
    Then everyone would get it!
    That sounds great.
[11:41] (Flashback) Young Davie
    You're a bit messed up in the head, too.
[11:43] (Flashback) Friend
    I am not! I just like entertaining things.
[11:53] Stardust
    Why did I recall something
    from so long ago right now?
[12:00] Shy
    My body feels heavy...
    I'm losing consciousness.
[12:03] Shy
    But so what?!
[12:05] Shy
    I have to make sure my
    heart gets through to him!
[12:09] Shy
    Because...
[12:11] Friend
    The nicest person in the world!
[12:14] Shy
    Even I'm...
[12:16] Shy
    a hero!
[12:25] Spirit
    Teru-chan!
[12:26] Iko
    Momijiyama-san!
[12:30] Spirit
    You let this happen to yourself just to...
[12:34] Stardust
    Spirit.
[12:36] Stardust
    She isn't cut out to be a hero after all.
[12:39] Stardust
    She's too pure and naïve.
[12:41] Stardust
    She can't fight at her fullest even when
    she's faced with a loathsome enemy.
[12:45] Stardust
    She's always controlled by her emotions.
[12:48] Stardust
    That's why her power is so unstable.
[12:50] Stardust
    In the end, she overused a power she's
    not accustomed to and burned out.
[12:57] Stardust
    She's clearly too reckless.
[13:00] Stardust
    But maybe...
[13:03] Stardust
    the ones who'll change this world
    in the future will be fools like her.
[13:09] Spirit
    Stardust?
[13:11] Stardust
    I lost.
[13:13] Stardust
    That last blow managed to hit my cheek
    before her Heart-shift came undone.
[13:20] Stardust
    Tell her congratulations.
[13:23] Stardust
    I've already contacted a doctor.
[13:25] Stardust
    Have them check her as soon as possible.
[13:36] Stardust
    A kind person, huh?
[13:42] Stardust
    Shy.

    Well, thanks, Stardust.

    Your expression doesn't match your words.
[14:03] Spirit
    Oh, shut up. Don't make me knock you out.
[14:06] Stardust
    Are you sure you should be here?
[14:09] Spirit
    Iko-chan's here. I'd just get in their way.
[14:13] Spirit
    Regardless of how it was done,
    Teru-chan is now prepared to fight.
[14:18] Spirit
    And that's thanks to you.
[14:21] Spirit
    So... thanks.
[14:24] Stardust
    You're welcome, I guess.
[14:25] Spirit
    But!
[14:26] Spirit
    I still hate your damn guts!
[14:30] Spirit
    Ugh, you're so unbelievable!
    Who goes that far against a girl?!
[14:36] Stardust
    Honestly, I'm quite fond of the way
    you wear your heart on your sleeve.
[14:41] Spirit
    What?! That's it! I'm kicking your ass!
[14:45] Stardust
    Well, I'm heading home.
[14:47] Spirit
    You're running away! Hold it right there!

    Huh? Where am I?

    You're in the infirmary on the spacecraft.
[15:03] Lady
    So you're finally awake now?
[15:06] Lady
    You slept for two hours
     after you were treated.
[15:09] Lady
    How dumb. You know, your friend
    wore herself out crying and fell asleep.
[15:15] Teru
    Wh-Who are you?

    What?! You're a newbie and you don't
    know who I am?! Are you stupid?!

    Stupid?!

    Wait, um... I need my glasses...

    Wait! I know! I just need
    to do the thing, right?!

    Even in the deepest darkness where the light
    doesn't reach, Black will be by your side.

    Now, now. Be quiet in the

[16:06] Lady
    Don't be stupid, Doctor! I can't
    get along with this stupid girl!

    Oh... Thank you.
[16:23] Teru
    U-Um, I beg your pardon, but...
    who are you two?
[16:27] Schwartz
    We're Black Cross heroes.
[16:30] Teru
    Black Cross?
[16:32] Schwartz
    It's an international rescue
    organization created by Stardust.
[16:36] Schwartz
    I'm their representative and
    chief medical officer, Doctor Schwartz.
[16:41] Lady
    And I came here as one of the nurses.
[16:44] Lady
    By the way, I'm also
    the one who treated you.
[16:48] Lady
    You haven't realized that you don't have
    a single scratch on your body, have you?
[16:52] Teru
    Huh? Wait! You're right!
[16:55] Lady
    My power is "Healing." Basically, I have
    the heart that can heal the masses.
[17:00] Teru
    Healing...
[17:02] Lady
    I guess Stardust acknowledged
    you because of your flames,
[17:05] Lady
    but when you're doing your job as a hero,
    your power should come naturally to you.
[17:10] Lady
    Frankly speaking, you lack talent.
[17:16] Lady
    Did you hear me?
[17:18] Lady
    I said he acknowledged you!
[17:22] Teru
    Huh? Acknowledged?
[17:24] Lady
    Stardust left a message for you.
[17:26] Lady
    He said, "Congratulations."
[17:28] Teru
    That means... I can stay a hero.
[17:34] Teru
    But... I wasn't able to do anything.
[17:38] Teru
    Is this... really okay?
[17:42] Lady
    Just so you know, I don't acknowledge
    you as Japan's hero at all!

[18:00] Lady
    So what did you do?
[18:03] Lady
    You made a civilian feel nervous and cry.
[18:05] Lady
    Then you get knocked out and
    take her down with you?!
[18:08] Lady
    Can you really call yourself a hero?
[18:10] Lady
    Way to go.
[18:12] Lady
    I don't know if you're Shy or whatever, but
    I'm going to give you a piece of my mind.
[18:17] Lady
    If you're ashamed of yourself,
    quit being a hero right this instant!
[18:24] Lady
    Enough of this, Doctor.
[18:25] Lady
    We've done our work. Let's go home.
[18:27] Schwartz
    Yes, you're right. Let's go.
[18:31] Schwartz
    Lady can be a bit harsh, but
    that's how she expresses herself.
[18:36] Schwartz
    She's basically saying to become
    someone you can be proud of.

    See you again, young lady.
    Give our regards to your friend.

    You're awake.
[18:58] Teru
    I'm sorry for dragging you
    into this, Koishikawa-san.
[19:04] Iko
    You worked so hard, Momijiyama-san!
[19:07] Teru
    U-Um...
[19:22] Iko
    Well, I have to go this way.
    I'll see you later, Momijiyama-san.
[19:29] Teru
    Wait, Koishikawa-san!
[19:32] Teru
    Um, I...
[19:34] Teru
    I'm sorry. I made you worry a lot.
[19:38] Teru
    When I thought about how my
    weakness made everyone anxious,
[19:43] Teru
    I just felt so pathetic.
[19:45] Teru
    I'm still not really heroic at all...
[19:49] Teru
    But...
[19:51] Teru
    I'm going to become
    strong, no matter what!
[19:54] Teru
    So that you'll never have to cry again!
[19:57] Teru
    So... huh?
[19:59] Teru
    Sorry... Why am I...
[20:02] Teru
    I just said I was gonna be stronger... so why...
[20:05] Iko
    Are you okay? Here, use this.
[20:09] Teru
    I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry.
[20:13] Iko
    You know, Momijiyama-san,
    you can be pretty passionate.
[20:18] Iko
    Maybe that's why your heart's
    power is hot flames.
[20:23] Teru
    But... I'm just...
[20:25] Iko
    Oh, I just thought of something.
[20:29] Iko
    You know, because you're so shy...
[20:32] Iko
    Your face is so red, it might
    just burst into flames.
[20:36] Teru
    Huh?
[20:41] Iko
    Wouldn't that be funny?
