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... [01:48] Sign     Two left SIGN    You are currently looking     at this screen [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.

[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     Feint Operation! SIGN    Emperor Assassination Strategy [05:52] (Flashback) Kazuhiko/Yagihashi/Eren     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     in the greater     Tokyo area SIGN    Rights with unknown whereabouts SIGN    40 Rights SIGN    Civilization Maintenance     & Infrastructure SIGN    Collapsed [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... SIGN    Foreboding
