[00:02] Gobo
    Sup, nerds! Gobo here!
[00:04] Gobo
    Here's a recap of
    everything that's happened so far!
[00:07] Nishime
    Who are you even talking to?
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
[01:41] Gobo
    It all began on June 5,
[01:43] Gobo
    with a mysterious message that appeared
    before Saneatsu Narita as he was in class...

[01:51] Gobo
    What ensued the next day was a series
    of sudden massive fatalities all over the globe.
[01:55] Gobo
    Social infrastructure came to a halt.
[01:58] Gobo
    After receiving a call from his friend,
    Kazuhiko, Saneatsu made his way to school.
[02:04] Gobo
    The following day,
[02:05] Gobo
    a mysterious figure calling themselves
    the Emperor appeared,
SIGN    Tasuketsu
[02:11] Gobo
    announcing a cruel death game
    of majorities called "Tasuketsu".
[02:14] Gobo
    The whole world was forced to participate.
[02:16] Gobo
    Participants couldn't choose their responses.
SIGN    Absent
[02:19] Gobo
    Their only option was to submit
    questions within daily Designated Areas.
[02:25] Gobo
    The Emperor would select among
    the submissions and conduct a tally.
SIGN    Suginami Ward
[02:30] Gobo
    Man, all of it was so unfair,
    I felt so helpless and hid myself away.
[02:35] Gobo
    Until I met Ippy-hiko and the guys, that is.

SIGN    Official Start
SIGN    The Rights
[02:55] Sign
    Prime Right Right
[02:58] Gobo
    The Emperor blabbed on about "making
    good use" of Rights and Prime Rights
[03:02] Gobo
    and scattered 65 envelopes
    containing either of the two.
[03:03] Sign
    Prime Right Right
[03:06] Gobo
    As for what was inside...
[03:09] Gobo
    Nishime, take it away!
[03:11] Nishime
    You're making me explain?!
[03:12] Gobo
    I mean, you're an adult! 21 years old, right?
[03:15] Gobo
    I'm still in 8th grade, ya know.
[03:16] Gobo
    Make it easy and concise, will ya?
[03:19] Nishime
    I'm not sure age is the issue here...
[03:21] Nishime
    Fine, if I have to...
[03:25] Nishime
    Prime Rights are extremely
    powerful magical powers.
[03:30] Nishime
    But obtaining one requires
    the sacrifice a human body part.
[03:35] Nishime
    For example, Omi lost
    hearing in his right ear,
[03:37] Nishime
    Shinozaki lost his right eyesight,
[03:39] Nishime
    and Rika Suzuki lost her right leg.
SIGN    Right
[03:43] Nishime
    Rights, on the other hand,
    don't require any sacrifices.
[03:46] Nishime
    While less enforceable and powerful than Prime
    Rights, they can be effective if used right.
SIGN    Die
[03:52] Nishime
    According to a woman named Miwa Isshiki,
[03:56] Nishime
    the Rights fall under three attributes:
    Permission, Transmutation, and Production.
SIGN    Permission
SIGN    Transmutation
SIGN    Production
[04:02] Nishime
    Permission Attribute: Rights that
    exercise powers relating to approval.
[04:07] Nishime
    Some examples include the
    Rejection Right and Compliance Right.
[04:13] Gobo
    My Presentation Right falls under
    the Permission Attribute, too!
[04:15] Nishime
    Transmutation Attribute: Rights that
    bring about certain changes or phenomena.
SIGN    Permission
SIGN    Transmutation
SIGN    Production
[04:22] Nishime
    Examples include Ryuta's Fusion Right
    and Shinozaki's Visualization Right.
SIGN    Permission
SIGN    Transmutation
SIGN    Production
[04:29] Nishime
    Production Attribute: Prime
    Rights that produce phenomena
[04:31] Nishime
    that far surpass those of
    the Transmutation Attribute.
[04:34] Gobo
    Like Souma's Materialization Right!
    His powers are crazy!
[04:38] Nishime
    However, Rights under the
    Production Attribute come with risks.
[04:42] Nishime
    They require the user to announce
    their Prime Right with each use.
[04:45] Nishime
    And it drains a huge amount of energy.
[04:48] Nishime
    Souma looks exhausted after every use...
SIGN    Exclusive Prime Right
[04:50] Nishime
    And finally, what's referred to
    as the "Exclusive Prime Right".
SIGN    Parental Authority
[04:54] Nishime
    The Prime Right of Parental Authority
    apparently belonged to Saneatsu, but...
[04:58] Nishime
    who knows where he's at right now...
[05:00] Gobo
    The strongest Prime Rights are under
    the Permission Attribute, ya know!
[05:04] Gobo
    Omi's quasi-major Prime Right of Rejection
    and the major Prime Right of Obedience!
[05:11] Gobo
    When Tasuketsu killed off all the men,
    Omi used his Rejection Right to survive,
[05:16] Gobo
    then submitted a question to revive us
    so we could make it out alive.
[05:23] Gobo
    At this point, it was midnight on June 10.
[05:26] Gobo
    There were 2.21 million survivors in Tokyo.
[05:31] Gobo
    The group then went on to gain
    new members and work together
[05:34] Gobo
    to move closer to beating the Emperor
    and ending Tasuketsu.
[05:40] Gobo
    And finally...
SIGN    June 13
[05:43] (Flashback) Saneatsu
    23:30 PM.
[05:45] (Flashback) Nishime/Agatsuma/Hikari

    Power Station Invasion Operation!
SIGN    Commence
SIGN    As of this moment,
    Tasuketsu has concluded.
[06:00] Gobo
    It came with a huge price,
[06:02] Gobo
    but we were able to defeat the Emperor,
    and Tasuketsu came to a close.
SIGN    As of this moment, Tasuketsu has concluded.
SIGN    Remaining human
    population
SIGN    1 million people

    Tokyo area

[06:35] Raion
    There's a lot of blackouts, but
    we still have electricity and water.
[06:39] Raion
    The phone lines are down...
    same with the internet.
[06:43] Raion
    The only reception we get are
    one-way transmissions from the Emperor.
[06:47] Raion
    But... the radio still works.
[06:50] Raion
    There was that one weird transmission
    in code... something about "NS" and "FS".
[06:56] Raion
    So I could use radio waves if I wanted to.
[07:02] Raion
    I think I just got an idea!
[07:12] Kirishima
    My Queen, Lady Kisaragi.
[07:15] Kirishima
    We are nearing distribution time
    for the Emperor's message,
[07:19] Kirishima
    so I turned on the in-house power generators.
[07:21] Kisaragi
    How many times must I tell you?
[07:25] Kisaragi
    The electricity isn't just for distribution
    of the fake Emperor's messages.
[07:30] Kisaragi
    At the very least, this room where I reign
    should be able to use electricity at all hours.
[07:35] Kirishima
    As you wish...
[07:37] Kisaragi
    Besides, it's too soon
    for the title of "Queen."
[07:40] Kisaragi
    I cannot become the ruler
    until I lay the Emperor to rest.
[08:06] Hikari
    Hikari coming in with the regular update.
[08:10] Hikari
    Lots of weird stuff but
    nothing out of the ordinary.
[08:12] Eren
    Roger that.
[08:16] Shinozaki
    So...
[08:17] Shinozaki
    What did you want to talk about, Gobo?
[08:20] Gobo
    I want to leave Tokyo.
[08:22] Eren
    What?! Is your head screwed on right?!
[08:25] Eren
    What do you wanna leave Tokyo for?!
[08:27] Gobo
    Talking with Nishime got me thinking...
[08:31] Nishime
    It's already been a month
    since Tasuketsu ended.
[08:34] Nishime
    There's no more food left in Tokyo.
[08:37] Nishime
    Our only path to survival is to escape Tokyo
    and make our way around Japan to find food.
[08:43] Eren
    But what will happen
    if we just up and leave?
[08:47] Eren
    It'll be the end of Tokyo for real this time!
[08:50] Shinozaki
    You have a point...
[08:51] Shinozaki
    Electricity supply is maintained by
    Souma's materialized beasts right now.
[08:55] Shinozaki
    Without Souma, electricity supply in Tokyo
    will come to a complete halt.
[08:59] Souma
    Meaning it'd be
    a lost civilization, literally.
[09:03] Gobo
    But think about it...
    Where are we headed right now?
[09:07] Gobo
    Preserving the peace is great and all,
[09:08] Gobo
    but how long are we gonna
    pretend to be the Emperor?
[09:11] Gobo
    After looking back on everything,
    I'm not sure what's right anymore.
[09:16] Shinozaki
    "Defeat the Emperor."
[09:17] Shinozaki
    I suppose the only thing propelling us
    forward was that shared mission...
[09:22] Shinozaki
    But without a tangible goal,
    we're all left simply exhausted.
[09:28] Shinozaki
    Perhaps this is the end of the road...
[09:33] Nishime
    Hey, Gobo! We've got an
    incoming signal from tablet D!
[09:36] Gobo
    D? It's Ryuta!
[09:38] Ryuta
    There! That should send the signal to Gobo!
[09:42] Omi
    Mm-yup!
[09:44] Omi
    Looks like they're working hard every night.
[09:47] Omi
    I hope they're holding up okay.
[09:48] Ryuta
    I can't wait to finally
    talk face-to-face again!
[09:51] Rika
    Jeez, you two are as carefree as ever.
[09:55] Ryuta
    You think so?
[09:57] Omi
    Mm-ya?
[09:59] Ryuta
    Well, we've got all this to take home.
    That should make them happy.
[10:04] Omi
    Let's take flowers to Saneatsu
    up in the tower, too.
[10:07] Ryuta
    Yeah, let's do that.
[10:11] Rika
    Umm... Yeah, about that...
[10:14] Rika
    Weren't they left up there in the tower?
[10:17] Rika
    Are you sure they haven't decomposed by now?
[10:22] Rika
    Don't tell me you forgot...
[10:26] Shinozaki
    W-What's wrong, Gobo?
[10:28] Eren
    Don't just sit there in silence, you dummy!
[10:30] Gobo
    Ryuta and the guys are coming back!
[10:32] Gobo
    Omi and Rika are doing okay too! For real!
[10:37] Eren
    Yay! So we get to see them again?!
[10:39] Souma
    C'mon! Not in front of—
[10:43] Gobo
    And they're bringing food too!
[10:45] Gobo
    There aren't many people in the countryside,
[10:46] Gobo
    so they haven't touched
     the preserved foods yet.
[10:49] Gobo
    They're bringing fresh vegetables
    from farms, too!
[10:51] Nishime
    T-They're heroes! Thank God!
[10:55] Gobo
    And...
[10:56] Gobo
    They found a clue on what to do next!
[10:59] Souma
    L-Looks like we survived for good reason.
[11:01] Eren
    So things should look up!
[11:05] Gobo
    No way! We only have five minutes until
    today's Emperor announcement, for real!
[11:09] Gobo
    This is a tablet for outgoing
    communication. Where's my laptop?!
[11:13] Nishime
    Shoot, I left it charging in the basement!
[11:16] Eren
    This pair just can't get it together.
[11:20] Gobo
    Can't be helped! We'll use the TV screen!
[11:23] Gobo
    Nishime, turn on the switch!
[11:25] Nishime
    Roger that!
[11:26] Souma
    Will they make it in time?
[11:27] Eren
    Well... worst case scenario, we could
    just say there's no announcement today.
[11:31] Gobo
    Come on, guys! Somebody
    come up with a message, for real!
[11:34] Gobo
    I can only come up with
    inappropriate jokes under pressure!
[11:37] Eren
    That's why I'm saying, why not just skip—
[11:51] Raion
    Good evening, this is your Emperor.
[11:54] Raion
    Time to announce today's results.
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
[12:04] Nishime
    He's back from the dead?
[12:06] Souma
    This can't be real!
[12:08] Eren
    W-What do we do now?!
[12:12] Gobo
    That's impossible... we defeated the Emperor!
[12:15] Shinozaki
    Calm down!
[12:17] Shinozaki
    This isn't necessarily the Emperor.
[12:19] Shinozaki
    And it hasn't come up on our phones!
[12:20] Shinozaki
    Which means...
[12:22] Gobo
    It's a TV broadcast?
[12:24] Gobo
    That's it! Display each station's
    broadcast screen!
[12:27] Gobo
    Nishime! Turn on the other TVs!
[12:30] Shinozaki
    It's only on TSK Broadcasting?!
[12:33] Gobo
    Yeah...
[12:36] Gobo
    What the hell is going on?
[12:41] Eren
    Hey, what about our announcement?
[12:44] Gobo
    Shoot!
[12:48] Raion
    So no usual Emperor announcement today...
[12:51] Raion
    Just as I thought.
[12:53] Raion
    The current Emperor saw
    the television broadcast tonight.

[12:57] Raion
    And they canceled the usual announcement...
SIGN    TSK Broadcasting
    Our City of Tokyo
[13:01] Raion
    This proves that the
    current Emperor is in Tokyo.

[13:05] Raion
    Like I thought, this Emperor is different
    from the one that conducted Tasuketsu.

[13:10] Raion
    I only broadcast from here
    at TSK Broadcasting.

[13:15] Raion
    As long as they notice that,
    they'll make a move for sure.

[13:19] Raion
    Until then, I'll keep this up
    for as many days as it takes.

[13:25] Raion
    Emperor?!
SIGN    Welcome to TSK Broadcasting!
[13:31] Raion
    Just kidding. No way they'd be that quick.
[13:37] Raion
    I'll be waiting, Emperor.
[13:40] Raion
    To hear out your truth.
[14:15] Gobo
    All right...
[14:17] Gobo
    I'm sure you guys can guess today's agenda.
[14:20] Gobo
    And that's the broadcast
    from last night, for real!
[14:24] Nishime
    You know, I have a feeling
    we screwed something up...
[14:28] Gobo
    Screwed up? You saying I should
    have my laptop on me at all times?
[14:32] Nishime
    You're worried about that?!
[14:33] Shinozaki
    First and foremost, let's state the obvious.
[14:36] Shinozaki
    The Emperor is dead.
[14:40] Shinozaki
    As the ones who fought him,
    we're the only ones aware of that fact.
[14:47] Shinozaki
    It's been a month since then, and...
SIGN    Good evening, this is your Emperor.
     Today's results are as follows.
[14:51] Shinozaki
    For now, Gobo is disguised as the Emperor
SIGN    Today's execution has been determined to be Tamataro Yamada
    (age 33), who killed three people in Meguro Ward. Goodbye.
SIGN    Please bear in mind to refrain from evil,
    and work to live as long as possible.
[14:55] Shinozaki
    to send out scripted distributions
    to maintain the peace.
SIGN    Please bear in mind to refrain from evil,
    and work to live as long as possible.
[15:01] Shinozaki
    But after giving it some thought...
[15:02] Shinozaki
    it's possible that someone
    has caught on to our façade.
[15:07] Shinozaki
    As it stands, the current Emperor
    executes criminals on a daily basis.
[15:13] Shinozaki
    Most people would assume deceiving
    the Emperor would result in their execution.
[15:17] Shinozaki
    Yet they went through with the broadcast.
[15:21] Nishime
    You mean they did it because they know?
[15:23] Shinozaki
    To top it off, we ended up
    skipping our announcement.
[15:27] Shinozaki
    We got distracted, and
    they probably realized that.
[15:31] Gobo
    T-That sounds really bad, for real!
[15:34] Nishime
    What now? Is it something
    we can just ignore?
[15:37] Gobo
    S-Sure, why not? If we keep
    ignoring them, I'm sure they'll stop!
[15:42] Nishime
    The only one who'd get assassinated is you,
    being the fake Emperor and all.
[15:46] Gobo
    Wait! Ignoring is bad news, for real!
[15:53] Souma
    Geez, you're so loud you woke me up.
[15:57] Shinozaki
    Souma! Shouldn't you get some rest?
[16:00] Souma
    Hikari is guarding the area...
[16:02] Souma
    Eren's always up in arms about
    something, so it can't be helped.
[16:05] Souma
    Why didn't you just wake me up,
    Shinozaki-san?
[16:08] Souma
    I'm your best weapon.
[16:11] Shinozaki
    You don't look so well.
[16:13] Shinozaki
    Get some more rest.
[16:14] Gobo
    You've been using your Materialization Right
    to the brink every day...
[16:18] Nishime
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[16:20] Nishime
    We can't afford to lose either you or Gobo.
[16:24] Nishime
    The Materialization Right is the source
    of all our necessary materials,
[16:27] Nishime
    and your beasts provide essential labor.
[16:29] Nishime
    Get as much rest as you need.
[16:33] Souma
    I'm the only one who can make it happen.
[16:35] Souma
    There's no way I'd give up that easy—
[16:37] Nishime
    You've got it all wrong, you macho!
[16:40] Nishime
    You gotta rest for all our sake, idiot!
[16:44] Souma
    I hear ya...
[16:46] Souma
    Hey Shinozaki-san, I got an idea.
[16:50] Shinozaki
    What's that?
[16:51] Souma
    Let's cut to the chase.
[16:53] Souma
    They purposely broadcast to one station
[16:55] Souma
    so we could narrow down
    their location, right?
[16:58] Souma
    Why not just take the bait and go find them?
[17:03] Shinozaki
    But what if it's a trap?
[17:05] Souma
    We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
[17:08] Souma
    I can unleash my beast, put
    a materialized transceiver on it,
[17:13] Souma
    and, if there's any danger, we can
    undo the materialization. How's that?
[17:20] Shinozaki
    Fine. Let's go to the roof.
[17:23] Shinozaki
    I'll take a look at the station
    with my Visualization Right.
[17:26] Souma
    Sounds good.
[17:30] Gobo
    Is Souma okay? Like, for real?
[17:37] Nishime
    The key to information control:
    Presentation Right.

[17:39] ---
    Borinmaru Gokokuhotenji
[17:41] Nishime
    The key to ground search:
    Visualization Right.

[17:43] Nishime
    The key to attack, defense, and
    arsenal: Materialization Right.

[17:47] Nishime
    The key to enforcement: Compliance Right.
[17:51] Nishime
    This group has all the tools it needs!
[17:53] Nishime
    My role is to keep things together
    so it doesn't fall apart...

[17:59] Kisaragi
    I see... they used TV broadcasting.
[18:02] Kirishima
    Yes, my lady.
[18:04] Kisaragi
    What an interesting idea.
[18:08] Kisaragi
    Very well then...
[18:22] Raion
    Let's see now... Okay then...
[18:25] Raion
    Looks like I better make sure
    that this is real.

[18:29] Raion
    How about if I pinch myself?
[18:32] Raion
    What's this? A summoning spell?
[18:34] Raion
    This feels just as surreal as Tasuketsu...
[18:38] Raion
    Or is this the real Emperor?
[18:41] Raion
    Shoot, I'm starting to doubt myself.
[18:43] Raion
    Wait, something feels off...
[18:48] Raion
    Is it not gonna move?
[18:50] Raion
    Its hair is flowing but... that's it.
[18:53] Raion
    Um, are you the Emperor's pawn?
[18:59] Raion
    Well... if I may, I'd like you to take me—
[19:04] Raion
    It responded.
[19:06] Raion
    I'd like... you to... take me.
[19:12] Raion
    So that's what's going on.
[19:13] Raion
    It's supposed to guide me
    somewhere given my request.

[19:17] Raion
    Or at least that's what
    it's being commanded to do.

SIGN    Take
[19:19] Raion
    It recognizes that "take" is part of the
    command to "take me to a certain place".

SIGN    Take me to...
[19:25] Raion
    But technically, the word "take" by itself
    isn't a complete command.

[19:28] Raion
    It either responds to a strict set of orders
    or it's unable to make its own decisions.

[19:32] Raion
    In other words, a complete pawn.
    But hang on...

[19:36] Raion
    How can it answer my request
    to take me somewhere

[19:38] Raion
    but have no decision-making abilities?
[19:41] Raion
    That would be an oxymoron.
[19:42] Raion
    What happens if I were someone dangerous?
[19:46] Raion
    If decisions were up to the Emperor,
[19:49] Raion
    they would set a transceiver to
    monitor me through visuals or audio.

[19:54] Raion
    So they set this thing up
    just to drop me off...

[19:58] Raion
    I'll try messing with them.
[20:01] Raion
    Um... Pardon me! Hello, Mr. Emperor!
[20:05] Raion
    Can you hear and see me?
[20:09] Raion
    Um, as you can see, I'm not armed
    and I mean no harm!
[20:13] Raion
    Sorry if there was no need for me
    to get fully naked... Pardon me.
[20:17] Souma
    How did he figure out
    there was a transceiver?!
[20:21] Shinozaki
    Sounds like he assumes we can see him.
[20:25] Nishime
    So they're unarmed for sure?
[20:26] Gobo
    And butt naked. For real.
[20:29] Raion
    Um... I plan to head your way now, so...
[20:36] Raion
    I guess I'll see you soon?
[20:36] [Messenger] Sign
    If you can see through my lie just now,
    abandon this beast and send over a second beast.
    
    Once I confirm you've done this, I'll bring you vital information on the Emperor.
[20:45] Souma
    I don't sense any danger, do you?
[20:47] Shinozaki
    Right. Let's bring him over.
[20:50] Raion
    Please take me to where
    Mr. Emperor is waiting.
[20:56] Raion
    There's a good chance
    they have no visual on me.

[20:59] Raion
    That means I still have
    plenty of opportunities to lie.

[21:08] Raion
    Whoa...
[21:14] Raion
    This beast has really soft boobs...
