[00:16] K
    No one's around here, huh?
SIGN    Dark Wind
[00:28] K
    There are six left, including Sinon and
    Death Gun, who doesn't show up.
[00:35] K
    They took each other out?
[00:38] K
    Four left.
[00:43] K
    At the start, there were thirty people.
[00:45] K
    Two survivors...
[00:47] K
    Twenty-four killed.
[00:49] K
    Adding Sinon and Death Gun
    comes to twenty-eight.
[00:52] K
    Pale Rider makes twenty-nine.
[00:56] K
    We're missing one.
[01:00] K
    Did Death Gun take someone else out afterward?
[01:04] K
    No, whoever's working with him is
    standing by near Sinon's house...
[01:11] K
    I may be missing something big.
SIGN    Bullet of a Phantom
[03:05] S
    Well?
[03:06] K
    There should be five left.
[03:08] K
    Me, you, Dark Wind,
[03:11] ---
    Death Gun, who doesn't appear on the screen,
[03:13] K
    and maybe one more...
[03:15] K
    They might be hiding in a cave like we are.
[03:19] S
    Just five left...
[03:22] S
    But it's been an hour and forty-five minutes.
[03:27] S
    Considering the last match ended
    in just over two hours,
[03:30] S
    we're basically matching the pace.
[03:32] S
    It's strange that no one came
    to chuck a grenade in here.
[03:36] K
    Yeah.
[03:38] K
    It's possible that
[03:39] ---
    Death Gun might have been looking for us,
[03:42] K
    and taking out anyone he saw with his rifle.
[03:46] S
    Then he's sure to get the "max kills" award.
[03:52] S
    Anyway, the problem is Dark Wind.
[03:55] S
    You're the only survivor who
    showed up on his terminal.
[03:58] S
    He'll definitely come for you.
[04:01] K
    Is he strong?
[04:02] S
    Last time, he came in second place.
[04:05] S
    He's a typical agility build
[04:07] S
    called the Run-Gun Demon.
[04:10] K
    Ru... Run-Gun?
[04:12] S
    Run and Gun...
[04:13] S
    A style where you run, shoot, and run again.
[04:16] S
    He uses an ultra-lightweight machine gun,
     the Calico M900A.
[04:21] S
    Last time, he lost to Zexceed's rare gun
    and armor and came in second,
[04:26] S
    but some people say he's the better player.
[04:35] K
    D-Does that mean
[04:37] ---
    he might be the best player on
    the Japanese GGO server?
[04:41] S
    Listen...
[04:43] ---
    If your guess is right,
[04:45] ---
    right now, I'm the only person Death Gun can kill.
[04:49] S
    Because his partner needs to be near my home.
[04:54] S
    In other words, that means Dark Wind
    can't be killed by Death Gun.
[05:00] S
    So I kind of hate to say this,
[05:02] ---
    but couldn't we use him as a decoy?
SIGN    Dark Wind
[05:06] S
    If Death Gun shoots him, we'll know where he is.
[05:11] S
    And you could say I'm doing something similar.
[05:17] K
    You're strong, Sinon...
[05:21] S
    No, I'm just trying not to think about it.
[05:24] S
    I've always been good at closing
    my eyes to something scary.
[05:28] S
    Anyway, what about that plan?
[05:30] K
    Yeah, I'm basically in favor.
[05:35] K
    But there's something that bothers me.
[05:38] K
    I counted all the surviving and defeated players
[05:42] ---
    and it only added up to twenty-eight.
[05:44] K
    Even if one is Pale Rider,
    that doesn't explain the other.
[05:48] S
    Are you saying Death Gun killed
    someone else after that?
[05:52] S
    That's impossible.
[05:54] S
    His partner should be after me, shouldn't he?
[05:57] K
    Yeah, that's true, but...
[06:00] K
    When you think about it,
    it doesn't make much sense.
[06:03] K
    There were only thirty minutes
[06:06] ---
    between Death Gun shooting Pale Rider
     and his trying to shoot you.
[06:10] K
    In other words, Pale Rider's house
    must be in the same prefecture,
[06:13] ---
    and under thirty minutes away.
[06:17] K
    Isn't that a little too convenient?
[06:19] S
    But it's the only possibility.
[06:22] K
    We don't know for sure that
    Death Gun only has one partner.
[06:26] K
    If there's more than one,
[06:29] K
    one might be waiting for you,
[06:32] K
    while another player is killed.
[06:36] K
    In other words,
[06:37] K
    it's possible that Dark Wind
    is also a Death Gun target.
[06:48] S
    N-No...
[06:50] S
    You're telling me that three or more are
    involved in something so terrifying?
[06:54] K
    At least ten Laughing Coffin players survived.
[06:59] K
    I can't believe that every single
    one of them is involved,
[07:02] ---
    but we have no evidence that
    there's only one other person.
[07:05] S
    Why...
[07:07] ---
    Why is it so important for them
    to be player killers?
[07:11] S
    They were finally released from
    that death game, so why?
[07:16] K
    It's probably the same reason
[07:18] ---
    that I try to be a swordsman
[07:21] K
    and you try to be a sniper.
[07:26] S
    I called them player killers, but I take that back.
[07:29] S
    In this game, there are many who PK.
[07:32] S
    I was in a squadron like that.
[07:35] S
    But PKs have their own pride and resolve.
[07:39] S
    Killing someone with poison while
    they're full-diving isn't PKing.
[07:45] S
    It's just a cowardly crime.
[07:47] S
    It's murder.
[07:49] S
    Which means we can't lose to people like that!
[07:53] K
    Yeah, that's right.
[07:55] K
    We can't let them get away with this anymore.
[07:59] K
    I'll defeat Death Gun on this battlefield,
[08:01] K
    and make him and his real world partners pay.
[08:06] K
    Yeah, that's the first duty I must fulfill.
[08:11] K
    I need to start over from there,
[08:14] K
    and atone for killing two amidst that chaos,
[08:17] K
    and then the other one later on.
[08:22] K
    I need to protect Sinon, defeat Dark Wind,
    and beat Death Gun.
[08:27] K
    It won't be easy,
[08:28] K
    but I need to do it, no matter what.
[08:30] S
    I'll handle Dark Wind.
[08:34] S
    I won't let Death Gun kill him.
[08:37] S
    He's strong.
[08:38] S
    Even you won't be able
     to take him out in one hit.
[08:41] S
    While you're fighting him,
    Death Gun will go after you.
[08:44] K
    Th-That might be true, but...
[08:47] S
    You said it, too, right?
[08:50] S
    I'm a sniper.
[08:52] S
    If you act as my spotter and tell me
     the enemy's location,
[08:56] S
    I'll handle Dark Wind and Death Gun.
[09:00] K
    I see.
[09:03] K
    Then I'll leave the sniping to you.
[09:05] K
    The two of them must be getting close.
[09:08] K
    I'll jump out in the buggy first.
[09:11] K
    You leave afterward and get
    to a position where you can attack.
[09:24] S
    Good luck out there, partner.
[09:54] K
    Dark Wind is coming from the west,
[09:57] K
    so if Death Gun is going to open fire,
    it'll probably be from the east.
[10:02] K
    If he takes a hit in his heart or his head,
    it's almost certain death.
[10:05] K
    And he'll shoot while he's invisible with his cape.
[10:10] K
    But you...
[10:12] K
    You were able to cut even my bullet.
[10:15] K
    You can dodge it, right, Kirito?
[10:18] K
    My job is to take out Dark Wind immediately.
[10:22] K
    If I miss, Kirito will be killed.
[10:24] K
    And after that, Death Gun will kill me.
[10:28] K
    My real life depends on this one shot.
[10:33] K
    Just like back then.
[10:39] K
    Hecate II, please...
[10:42] K
    I'm weak. Lend me your power.
[10:45] K
    Give me the power to stand
    and start walking again!
[11:13] K
    The southwest...
[11:14] K
    This is Dark Wind.
[11:16] K
    Sinon will handle Dark Wind.
[11:23] S
    He's fast.
[11:27] S
    What do I do?
[11:28] S
    Try to predict his movement and lead him,
[11:30] S
    or fire at his feet,
    deliberately missing my first shot,
[11:32] S
    and then finish him when he panics?
[11:38] S
    No...
[11:39] S
    When he has Kirito in his sights,
    Dark Wind will stop.
[11:42] S
    I'll wait until then.
[11:45] S
    I'll endure this.
[11:47] S
    So you need to, as well.
[11:48] S
    Kirito, believe in me!
[12:01] K
    Concentrate...
[12:04] K
    Feel his killer instinct.
[12:07] K
    Just like before.
[12:20] K
    That's right.
[12:22] K
    Last time, I noticed them because
    I felt their killer instinct.
[12:28] K
    What was the name of that
    first man who attacked me?
[12:37] Gu
    Kirito...
[12:39] Gu
    I'll kill you later.
[12:55] Gu
    I'll kill you later.
[13:24] Gu
    Dark Wind...
[13:58] S
    Kirito!
[14:16] S
    There he is.
[14:57] S
    It's up to you now, Kirito.
[15:01] K
    You did it, Sinon.
[15:02] K
    I'll take it from here!
[15:31] S
    Kirito!
[15:36] Gi
    It's okay, Mommy!
SIGN    Yui
[15:38] Gi
    No matter how strong his opponent,
    Daddy won't lose.
[15:42] Gi
    Because he's Daddy.
[15:44] A
    Yeah, you're right.
[15:48] Gi
    Turn left at the corner, and go eight meters.
[15:52] Gi
    Kirigaya-kun?
[15:56] A
    Kirito-kun!
[15:57] Gi
    You're Yuuki-san, right?
[15:58] Gi
    I've heard.
[16:00] A
    Has something happened to Ki... Kazuto-kun?
[16:03] Gi
    Don't worry.
[16:04] Gi
    He's in no physical danger.
[16:07] Gi
    But his heart rate started suddenly climbing.
[16:09] A
    His heart rate?
[16:13] A
    What's going on?
[16:16] Gi
    Mommy, look at the PC panel on the wall.
[16:19] Gi
    I'll tune it to MMO Stream's live footage.
SIGN    Bullet of Bullets Final Round
[16:34] A
    That's Kirito-kun.
[16:37] Gi
    That's Kirigaya-kun's avatar?
[16:40] A
    Yeah, he's in combat.
[16:43] A
    That's why his heart rate's elevated.
[16:49] A
    An estoc?
[16:53] A
    That's him!
[16:53] A
    One of the Laughing Coffin leaders
    was really good with an estoc.
[16:57] A
    His name... His name was...
[17:00] A
    Ste... Steven?
[17:03] A
    Did he misspell "Steven"?
[17:05] Gi
    No.
[17:05] Gi
    No, Mommy.
[17:07] Gi
    That's German.
[17:08] Gi
    It's also specialized medical vocabulary.
[17:11] Gi
    It's read "Sterben."
[17:14] A
    Sterben?
[17:17] Gi
    It means "death."
[17:19] Gi
    It's used when a patient passes away at a hospital.
[17:29] A
    Kirito-kun...
[17:36] K
    That's a rare weapon...
[17:40] K
    Actually, I never heard anything about
    metal blades being in GGO.
[17:44] Gu
    Looks like you should have studied more,
     black swordsman.
[17:50] Gu
    You can make it with the gun-blade skill.
[17:52] Gu
    Though the length and weight
    can't be much more than this.
[17:57] K
    Then I'm afraid you wouldn't be able
     to make a blade I'd like.
[18:01] Gu
    You still like blades with high
    strength requirements?
[18:07] Gu
    Then that toy must disappoint you.
[18:13] K
    It isn't that bad.
[18:16] K
    I've always wanted to use something like this.
[18:19] K
    And...
[18:20] K
    A sword's a sword.
[18:22] K
    If I slice through you and deplete
    your HP gauge, I win.
[18:28] Gu
    Bold.
[18:30] Gu
    Can you do that?
[18:32] Gu
    You've breathed too much
    of the real world's rotten air.
[18:36] Gu
    If the old you had seen that weak vorpal strike,
    he'd be disappointed.
[18:43] K
    Maybe...
[18:44] K
    But that goes for you, too.
[18:47] K
    Or do you think you're still
    a member of Laughing Coffin?
[18:55] Gu
    You were able to remember that much?
[18:58] Gu
    Then you understand the difference
    between you and me.
[19:04] Gu
    I'm a real red player,
[19:06] Gu
    but you aren't.
[19:11] Gu
    You simply killed out of fear, to survive.
[19:16] Gu
    You're a coward, who never thought about
[19:20] ---
    what that meant, and tried to forget everything.
[19:25] K
    Maybe.
[19:27] K
    But you aren't a murderer anymore, either!
[19:31] K
    I already know how you killed
    Zexceed and the others.
[19:35] K
    It isn't that black gun's power,
    let alone your own power.
[19:40] Gu
    Then what is it?
[19:42] Gu
    Tell me.
[19:43] K
    You used that optical camouflage
    cape to watch the players
[19:46] ---
    inputting their addresses in the terminals
    at the governor general's office.
[19:51] K
    You have your partners sneak inside their rooms
[19:54] ---
    to inject them with a drug at the right time,
[19:57] K
    making it look like death by heart failure.
[20:00] K
    That's the truth.
[20:02] K
    Internal Affairs has all the SAO players'
    real names and character names.
[20:09] K
    Once they know your old name,
[20:11] K
    they'll know your real name, your address,
    and how you committed all your crimes!
[20:20] K
    End this...
[20:22] K
    Log out and turn yourself in!
[20:24] Gu
    I see.
[20:26] Gu
    You have a fascinating imagination.
[20:28] Gu
    But you aren't quite there.
[20:30] Gu
    You can't stop me.
[20:33] Gu
    Because you can't remember my old name.
[20:40] K
    What?
[20:42] K
    How can you be so sure?
[20:45] Gu
    You've even forgotten the reason why you forgot.
[20:51] Gu
    Listen.
[20:52] Gu
    After that battle ended,
[20:55] Gu
    I was about to give you my name.
[20:59] Gu
    But you...
[21:03] K
    I don't want to know your name,
[21:06] K
    and there's no reason for me to.
[21:07] K
    I'm never going to see you again.
[21:15] Gu
    You don't know my name.
[21:20] Gu
    That's why you can't remember it.
[21:22] Gu
    I'll defeat you here,
[21:23] Gu
    and you'll lie on the ground as I kill the girl,
[21:27] Gu
    and all you'll be able to do is watch!
[21:45] Gu
    This is made of the best metal
    you can get in this game.
[21:52] Gu
    It's supposed to be made of
    a space battleship's armor.
