[00:03] Ryuta
    Hey, Omi?
[00:06] Omi
    Mm-ya?
[00:07] Ryuta
    What we saw earlier... Whaddaya think it was?
[00:12] Omi
    Could be some kind of Right.
[00:15] Omi
    You lose your Rights when you die,
[00:17] Omi
    so someone else beside the
    Emperor might be behind it.
[00:20] Ryuta
    I thought so, too.
[00:22] Ryuta
    Sane and Saaya's bodies
    were perfectly preserved,
[00:25] Ryuta
    and the Emperor's body was gone entirely.
[00:28] Ryuta
    But who would do that? And why?
[00:33] Shinozaki
    Good work, you two.
[00:35] Ryuta
    Sensei! I thought you were on watch duty.
[00:37] Shinozaki
    I had someone fill in for me.
[00:39] Shinozaki
    There's something
    I wanted to talk to you about.
[00:42] Omi
    About what?
[00:43] Shinozaki
    It's about Raion...
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
[02:16] Queen
    I see.
[02:18] Queen
    So you failed in exterminating them
    and ran back home.
[02:23] Ikusa
    My sincerest apologies...
[02:26] Queen
    No matter.
[02:28] Queen
    At least we've gained some useful information
    about the Prime Right of Materialization.
[02:33] Queen
    You're forgiven. However...
[02:36] Queen
    Showing them your Water Utilization
    was a mistake.
[02:39] Queen
    They'll have a strategy to kill you next time.
[02:45] Queen
    If you don't want to die, come with me.
[02:48] Queen
    I'll perform a ritual on you.
[02:50] Queen
    But in return...
[02:52] Queen
    Swear your eternal loyalty
    to me. Over and over.
[02:59] Ryuta
    About Raion?
[03:01] Omi
    What's up?
[03:02] Shinozaki
    He's certainly reliable, but he's also
    easily swayed by his emotions.
[03:07] Shinozaki
    I'm not sure it's wise to put him
    in charge of strategies by himself.
[03:12] Omi
    That was never the plan.
[03:15] Omi
    Besides, we don't want him
    to take the fall like Saneatsu.
[03:19] Ryuta
    Well, he's definitely quick on his feet,
[03:22] Ryuta
    so maybe we can just throw him
    into the line of fire!
[03:24] Omi
    You're heartless.
[03:27] Shinozaki
    It's not ideal to be without a strategist,
    but we'll all just have to work together.
[03:33] Ikusa
    Oh, almighty Queen, ruler
    of the heavens and earth.
[03:36] Ikusa
    Grant this powerless fool your
    great love and benevolence.
[03:40] Ikusa
    Oh, almighty Queen, ruler
    of the heavens and earth.
[03:42] Ikusa
    Grant this powerless fool your
    great love and benevolence.
[03:46] Ikusa
    Oh, almighty Queen, ruler
    of the heavens and earth...
[03:52] Kirishima
    There's a missing officer candidate,
    Yoshiaki Hirayama.
[03:56] Kirishima
    And another missing experiment
    member, Hikari Ebina.
[04:01] Queen
    Since when?
[04:03] Kirishima
    Attendance records show that both
    had returned as scheduled.
[04:08] Kirishima
    But according to other members, Hikari
    Ebina hasn't been back in over a month.
[04:14] Queen
    Who recorded attendance?
[04:16] Kirishima
    Hirayama, given that he was the most
    promising of the candidates...
[04:23] Queen
    Terminate all candidates
    except the top three.
[04:28] Kirishima
    As you wish.
[04:29] Queen
    That saves us some hassle.
[04:32] Queen
    As for you...
[04:35] Queen
    Starting today, you'll have
    the Prime Right of Electricity.
[04:38] Ikusa
    Thank you, my Queen...
[04:41] Ikusa
    Individuals can only possess one
    Prime Right and Right each....
[04:44] Ikusa
    Once obtained, they can't be replaced.
[04:47] Ikusa
    But the Queen's powers flips
    that principle on its head.
[04:52] Ikusa
    The first of Lady Kisaragi's
    powers is total control
[04:55] Ikusa
    over the selection and obtainment of Rights!
[04:58] Ikusa
    As long as we serve Lady Kisaragi,
    we'll always have the upper hand!
[05:02] Queen
    Ikusa, you'll be given more tasks
    in the area of housing.
[05:08] Queen
    I trust you'll work hard.
[05:11] Ikusa
    Housing?! For what, milady?!
[05:14] Meguru
    Lady Kisaragi, I've brought you
    the candidates.
[05:18] Kirishima
    Touya Mutsuki, Knight Kato, and Lili Kato.
[05:23] Kirishima
    These are the top three officer candidates.
[05:26] Queen
    Starting today, you three will be
    sent to the front lines to fight.
[05:30] Queen
    Don't disappoint me, Team Frontline.
[05:33] Mutsuki
    Yes, milady.
[05:34] Knight
    Cool. Thanks, hag!
[05:35] Lili
    Cut it out, Knight!
[05:39] Kirishima
    Are you sure about this, Lady Kisaragi?
[05:42] Kirishima
    Ikusa prefers to be on the battlefield.
[05:44] Kirishima
    I don't believe he'll be happy...
[05:47] Queen
    We must avoid informing the current
    Emperor of his new Prime Right.
[05:51] Queen
    He'll be used when the time is right.
[05:59] Queen
    How I look forward to
    the day of our victory...
[06:01] Queen
    At this pace, it shouldn't be much longer.
[06:04] Queen
    What should I do first?
[06:08] Queen
    Tell me... Emperor.
[06:16] Man 1
    We got some great stuff today!
[06:18] Man 2
    Nothing beats hunting down
    survivors to steal food!
[06:22] Takato
    Take a look, Yocchin!
[06:23] Takato
    I bet there's double yesterday's amount!
SIGN    The Emperors
[06:25] Woman
    Wow! We've been so lucky ever
    since Yohei became the leader!
[06:30] Fukami
    It may not be long before we
    conquer this land as The Emperors...
[06:34] Takato
    Standing up to the Emperor!
    You're so cool, Yocchin!
[06:39] Mutsuki
    This pungent, foul stench,
[06:42] Mutsuki
    and these piercing, vulgar voices...
[06:48] Fukami
    Who the hell are you?!
[06:50] Mutsuki
    I'm the Cleaner.
[06:52] Mutsuki
    I exterminate civil waste for the Queen
     who will lead us into the ideal world.
[06:59] Mutsuki
    You'll be deleted.
[07:06] Fukami
    W-what's going on?!
[07:07] Fukami
    My body's so heavy...
[07:10] Fukami
    What the hell did you do?!
[07:13] Mutsuki
    Get crushed, penetrate the earth,
    and enrich the soil.
[07:20] Takato
    It's so heavy...
[07:21] Takato
    I-I'm gonna be crushed...
[07:24] Fukami
    Damn!
[07:27] Woman
    Yohei! What did you do?!
[07:37] Fukami
    I dunno what you did,
    but I'm not willing to die!
[07:41] Mutsuki
    This man... How is he moving?
[07:44] Mutsuki
    Die!
[07:45] Fukami
    Piss off!
[07:48] Mutsuki
    It rebounded!
[07:49] Mutsuki
    He must have some kind of Prime Right.
[07:52] Mutsuki
    All the more reason
    to exterminate him here and now.
[07:55] Mutsuki
    I won't let anyone
    get in Lady Kisaragi's way.
[08:08] Mutsuki
    Are you reinforcement?
[08:10] Yagihashi
    You... mentioned something about a Queen?
[08:13] Yagihashi
    I hope I'm not mistaken.
[08:15] Yagihashi
    I'm just excited to get more information.
[08:18] Mutsuki
    I'll delete anyone who stands in the way.
[08:20] Mutsuki
    Get crushed, penetrate the earth, and...
[08:23] Mutsuki
    Enrich the soil!
[08:29] Yagihashi
    Hmm, I think I've got a good grasp
    of your Prime Right.
[08:34] Mutsuki
    My Prime Right...
[08:36] Mutsuki
    The ability to control gravity
    within a 10-meter radius.
SIGN    Gravity Right
[08:39] Mutsuki
    The Prime Right of Gravity.
[08:41] Mutsuki
    Right now, he's standing in
    gravity 50 times the usual force.
[08:45] Mutsuki
    Assuming he's about 60 kilograms,
    that would total a weight of 3 tons...
[08:49] Mutsuki
    And why are the glass shards floating?
[08:53] Mutsuki
    I'll make it 100 times the usual force then!
[08:55] Mutsuki
    If that doesn't work...
[08:57] Mutsuki
    A thousand times!
[08:58] Yagihashi
    It's no use.
[08:59] Yagihashi
    Did your Prime Right come
    with the definition of gravity?
[09:04] Mutsuki
    I knew it! He has a Prime Right too...
[09:06] Mutsuki
    No matter! Crush him!
[09:08] Mutsuki
    A thousand times the force!
[09:14] Yagihashi
    General relativity states that gravity is
    the result of distortions in time-space.
[09:19] Yagihashi
    Were you aware of that?
[09:21] Mutsuki
    It's not working!
[09:23] Mutsuki
    Does his Prime Right neutralize
    the power of others?!
[09:26] Yagihashi
    Perhaps it could be described as the energy
    that drains into these distortions.
[09:31] Yagihashi
    Which would make countering them very easy.
[09:34] Yagihashi
    Simply maneuver the direction
    of energy to stop the force.
[09:39] Yagihashi
    As a result, gravity doesn't change one bit.
[09:42] Yagihashi
    This was a bad match-up for you.
[09:45] Mutsuki
    Get off your high horse...
[09:47] Mutsuki
    ...and die!
[09:51] Mutsuki
    How's that!
[09:52] Yagihashi
    Oh, my. Good for you.
[10:07] Mutsuki
    He flung back the ceiling I dropped on him?!
[10:10] Mutsuki
    How is he alive?!
[10:14] Yagihashi
    Right behind you.
[10:17] Mutsuki
    Why, you! Who are you?!
[10:20] Yagihashi
    Listen, why don't we have a seat?
[10:23] Yagihashi
    Let's have a nice chat after we capture you.
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
[10:35] Mutsuki
    More reinforcements?! But when?
[10:38] Mutsuki
    How could he have—
[10:39] Mutsuki
    Don't tell me...
[10:41] Mutsuki
    That split second...
    he was hiding among the rubble?
[10:45] Mutsuki
    So he was waiting for that moment all along?!
[10:48] Mutsuki
    How could he make such
    a split-second decision?
[10:51] Mutsuki
    Or was it predetermined?
[10:53] Mutsuki
    But wait—that would mean...
[10:55] Mutsuki
    They read my moves?!
[10:56] Mutsuki
    You mean he knew I would drop the ceiling
    on him before he even appeared?!
[11:02] Kazuhiko
    Your call, Pres.
[11:03] Kazuhiko
    You sure you want me to do it?
[11:05] Yagihashi
    Sure, go ahead. I'll adjust it accordingly.
[11:11] Kazuhiko
    Prime Right of...
SIGN    Explosion Right
[11:12] Kazuhiko
    Explosion!
[11:16] Yagihashi
    I used my Prime Right of Induction
    to lead the blast the other way.
[11:20] Kazuhiko
    Hey, you're right!
[11:22] Kazuhiko
    This way, there's no damage to me!
[11:24] Kazuhiko
    You're amazing, Pres!
[11:26] Yagihashi
    I think you'll eventually be able to
    do it yourself with some practice.
[11:30] Kazuhiko
    But, man, how did you know he'd
    drop the ceiling on you beforehand?
[11:35] Yagihashi
    It's nothing complicated.
[11:37] Yagihashi
    If gravity itself won't work, there's
    no choice but to use another method of attack.
[11:41] Yagihashi
    Gravity works from the top down, so
    dropping the ceiling is just the ticket.
[11:47] Kazuhiko
    Okay, but like... is he alive?
[11:51] Yagihashi
    He's alive. A few moments ago...
[11:54] Yagihashi
    I set my Suspension Right
    so it would activate
[11:56] Yagihashi
    when he felt his life was
    in danger and halt time.
[12:00] Kazuhiko
    Oh yeah!
[12:01] Kazuhiko
    That's why you let him attack you!
[12:03] Yagihashi
    Coincidence or not, we're lucky
    to capture a suspect.
[12:07] Yagihashi
    Now, shall we head home?
[12:10] Kazuhiko
    But how will we carry him?
[12:16] Yagihashi
    Gravity is always at work.
[12:19] Yagihashi
    My Induction Right can
    control anything, anytime.
[12:22] Kazuhiko
    Man... You're like a cheater, Pres.
[12:33] Fukami
    That was cutting it close...
[12:36] Fukami
    Without this Prime Right,
    the Right of Transference,
SIGN    Transference Right
[12:38] Fukami
    I'd be dead by now.
[12:41] Fukami
    And I used those guys as scapegoats...
[12:43] Fukami
    ...by transferring them all the damage.
[12:47] Fukami
    This always happens.
[12:49] Fukami
    I always let go of the things
    most important to me.
[12:52] Fukami
    I swore to stick by them
    until the end... but still, I...
[12:58] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    I'm the Cleaner.
[13:00] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    I exterminate civil waste for the Queen
     who will lead us into the ideal world.
[13:06] Fukami
    The Queen... She's that bastard's boss!
[13:18] Raion
    Demoted?!
[13:20] Ryuta
    Yup!
[13:21] Ryuta
    We're not sure you're cut out for it, so
    you're demoted to Assistant Strategist!
[13:24] Omi
    Isn't that a bit too straightforward?
[13:26] Raion
    But there's no Head Strategist,
    so things will be decided by vote?
[13:32] Raion
    Okay, but...
[13:33] Gobo
    I'm playing my trap card!
[13:36] Nishime
    No, wait! I take it back!
[13:36] Raion
    They seem way too comfortable...
[13:39] Ryuta
    In times like these,
    it's best to let loose a little.
[13:43] Shinozaki
    Let's gather around for
    today's strategy meeting.
[13:46] Shinozaki
    So we don't have any clue
    as to the Queen's whereabouts...
[13:50] Raion
    If you're not dead set on
    organizing a preemptive attack,
[13:52] Raion
    we could just wait for their first move
    and prepare in the meantime.
[13:57] Ryuta
    I vote nay to that!
[13:59] Ryuta
    Hard to prepare for anything
[14:01] Ryuta
    when we don't even know
    the first thing about their abilities.
[14:04] Omi
    Mm-yup, we'd need to know
    what Rights they have...
SIGN    Support
SIGN    Defense
SIGN    Offense
[14:08] Shinozaki
    Our primary offense is Ryuta, and
    Omi and Rika are our main defense.
[14:13] Shinozaki
    Eren, Nishime, and I can act as support.
SIGN    Death
[14:15] Shinozaki
    Souma's an all-rounder, but he can
    only materialize three times a day tops.
[14:21] Raion
    So we're still a defense-heavy unit overall...
[14:23] Omi
    You're right. We don't have much
    of a chance without a striker.
[14:29] Ryuta
    Hey... this is a shot in the dark, but...
[14:32] Ryuta
    Why don't we try recruiting Ren Iruga?
[14:35] Ryuta
    If he joins us, that's another striker
    and we'll have better chances of winning.
[14:39] Raion
    Ren Iruga?
[14:42] Ryuta
    He was originally our enemy.
[14:45] Ryuta
    I think he had a change of heart
    in the end, but...
[14:49] Ryuta
    We have no clue where he went
    after defeating the Emperor.
[14:53] Ryuta
    If he still has Gobo's communication device,
    we should be able to call him in.
[14:57] Raion
    Is he any good?
[15:00] Ryuta
    Of everyone we've seen... he's the strongest.
[15:05] Ryuta
    So that settles that.
[15:06] Ryuta
    Could you send him a message?
[15:08] Gobo
    We already have, multiple times.
[15:10] Gobo
    I doubt it'll work, for real.
[15:13] Gobo
    Not that I won't try, but...
[15:16] Raion
    The Queen could already be on the move
    while we're talking like this.
[15:20] Raion
    I'm sure they'll try to trace our footsteps.
[15:23] Raion
    But we haven't left any,
    so they won't have any leads.
[15:27] Raion
    The question is... what to do then?
[15:30] Raion
    Of course! That'll be our play!
[15:33] Omi
    Ya come up with an idea?
[15:35] Raion
    Yeah. We'll have to be assertive
    if we want to edge out the Queen!
[15:40] Raion
    So I'll lie!
[15:43] Queen
    What did you just say?
[15:44] Queen
    Touya Mutsuki is missing?
[15:47] Meguru
    He left this morning to investigate,
[15:49] Meguru
    but it's past his scheduled return
    and he's nowhere to be found.
[15:53] Queen
    I see. You can stand back.
[15:55] Meguru
    Yes, milady.
[15:59] Kirishima
    What do you think, Lady Kisaragi?
[16:02] Queen
    Someone working for the
    current Emperor defeated him.
[16:05] Queen
    It's safe to assume that's what happened.
[16:08] Queen
    We should act on the premise that they
    now know everything Mutsuki knows...
[16:14] Kirishima
    Yes, perhaps we should leave here at once.
[16:19] Queen
    Outside, Knight Kato will be the front guard.
[16:22] Queen
    Meguru will be the rear guard.
[16:24] Queen
    And inside, Lili Kato will be the front guard.
[16:27] Queen
    And Ikusa will be the rear guard.
[16:29] Queen
    I'll take Kou as my personal bodyguard,
    and observe from afar.
[16:37] Queen
    You impostor... I swear to you...
[16:41] Queen
    I'll kill you!
[16:44] Kirishima
    Lady Kisaragi, it's time for
    the Emperor's announcement.
[16:50] Queen
    There's only so much they can do
    with mere text announcements.
[16:53] Queen
    The current Emperor's influence
    won't grow any greater.
[16:57] Queen
    I suppose I can check if they try
    to probe us for any information...
[17:03] Kirishima
    What could that be?
[17:05] Queen
    I-It can't be!
[17:07] Voice
    Citizens across Japan, good evening.
    This is your Emperor.
[17:12] Voice
    We will be commencing
    Stage Three of Tasuketsu.
SIGN    National Instant Alert System
[17:16] Queen
    The National Instant
    Alert System... JP-Alert!
[17:22] Queen
    Of course!
[17:23] Queen
    They used the Materialization
    Right for equipment!
[17:26] Voice
    There's only one rule to Stage Three:
[17:28] Voice
    Capture the Queen who's hiding.
[17:32] Voice
    We will commence tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
[17:34] Voice
    Once someone succeeds,
[17:36] Voice
    all other participants will die as the
    majority being "unsuccessful participants".
[17:43] Queen
    They used Stage Two of the real Tasuketsu
    to their advantage and avoid any suspicion...
[17:51] Queen
    Dammit! At this rate...
[17:54] Kirishima
    So they put you at the center
    of Tasuketsu itself...
[17:57] Kirishima
    Participants will assume
    it's another game development
[18:00] Kirishima
    if you make an announcement yourself.
[18:02] Queen
    This will revive the Emperor's influence!
[18:07] Queen
    No, something isn't right...
[18:10] Queen
    This would unquestionably set off
    a killing spree among fools
[18:13] Queen
    who can't distinguish between
    myself and other participants...
[18:17] Queen
    I highly doubt the current Emperor
    would do such a thing.
[18:23] Kirishima
    This is all a façade?
[18:25] Queen
    Yes. And given the chance that they
    have knowledge of our location,
[18:29] Queen
    this may be the current
    Emperor's first move to kill me.
[18:34] Kirishima
    Either way, I believe it's best we relocate.
[18:39] Queen
    Yes, and we must gather information
    on them as soon as possible.
[18:46] Shinozaki
    That was maybe your biggest lie yet, Raion.
[18:50] Raion
    This way, we can make sure
    the Emperor still has authority.
[18:53] Shinozaki
    But now what?
[18:55] Shinozaki
    Won't survivors start
    killing each other to find—
[18:58] Raion
    Nah, you'll see.
[19:00] Raion
    I don't expect the general public
    to be able to find the Queen.
[19:05] Raion
    The Queen should know that much, too.
[19:08] Raion
    I'm sure they want dirt on us, so hopefully
     they make a move one way or another.
[19:13] Ryuta
    You sure we can act based on assumption?
[19:16] Raion
    Well yeah, we have no information to go off.
[19:18] Raion
    If we guess right, then awesome.
[19:20] Raion
    They're in the same boat as us...
    which is exactly why I instigated first.
[19:24] Raion
    I hope they'll come searching for
    anywhere with the slightest chance.
[19:29] Gobo
    Like KHN?
[19:31] Nishime
    But... wouldn't they already
    have been there by now?
[19:34] Raion
    There's one place I'm betting on.
[19:37] Raion
    I'll tell you the details later,
[19:39] Raion
    but I'm hoping we can come in contact
    with the Queen's troops there.
[19:45] Raion
    That place is...
[19:51] Ryuta
    So, why bet on the Emperor's tower?
[19:55] Raion
    They've already figured out that
    the current Emperor's a fake, right?
[19:59] Raion
    Then what would they assume
    about the original Emperor?
[20:03] Ryuta
    Umm... they've been captured, they've
    died, or just somehow disappeared?
[20:09] Raion
    Yeah, so when?
[20:10] Raion
    Naturally, they'd assume something
    happened when Tasuketsu ended,
[20:15] Raion
    and announcements changed from
    voice-overs to text announcements.
[20:20] Raion
    So, that part's obvious.
[20:23] Raion
    The only other question is how much
    the Queen knows about the Emperor's tower.
[20:28] Raion
    The effects of the Concealment Right
    have worn off,
[20:30] Raion
    and the tower is visible to anyone now.
[20:33] Raion
    It wouldn't surprise me if
    the Queen came to see it herself.
[20:37] Omi
    There's a chance she took
    the Emperor's body, too!
[20:41] Raion
    Yeah, and another thing.
[20:43] Raion
    One look inside and it's obvious
    there was a battle there.
[20:46] Raion
    So whoever fought the Emperor...
[20:50] Ryuta
    ...would likely be the current Emperor.
[20:53] Raion
    The tower is the only place the "real" Emperor
    came in contact with the "fake" Emperor.
[20:56] Raion
    And that makes it the best, and likely
    only, place to gather any information.
[21:01] Omi
    I get it now!
    So that's why you instigated!
[21:03] Ryuta
    Get down!
[21:06] Knight
    Man... this is such a drag
    first thing in the morning.
[21:10] Meguru
    What a brat! Stop complaining
    and get to work, Knight!
SIGN    The Lie
[21:17] Ryuta+Omi+Raion
    That's them!
