[00:02] Gobo
    Feels good to eat outside
    for a change, for real!
[00:05] Rika
    Everyone needs to take it easy sometimes.
[00:08] Gobo
    But man, this sucks...
[00:11] Rika
    What does?
[00:12] Gobo
    I thought we were gonna win...
[00:15] Gobo
    We can't find the Queen's headquarters since
    it's hidden away with the Concealment Right.
[00:20] Gobo
    There's really not a way
    for us to win, for real...
[00:23] Rika
    Don't worry too much and eat up!
[00:25] Rika
    We can still use the public
    with the Emperor's announcements.
[00:29] Gobo
    Yeah... I guess...
[00:31] Iruga
    You guys sure are down in the dumps!
[00:34] Iruga
    I get how you feel, really.
[00:37] Gobo
    Ren Iruga!
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
[02:12] Shinozaki
    How did you find us?!
[02:14] Iruga
    Whoa, easy now.
[02:16] Iruga
    Remember that envelope
    from the Emperor operation?
[02:19] Iruga
    It came with an antenna
    to trace whoever opened it.
[02:25] Iruga
    With my Tracing Right!
SIGN    Die
[02:28] Gobo
    I opened that envelope!
[02:30] Iruga
    Would you happen to be the current Emperor?
[02:35] Iruga
    I'm not just here to drop by. I came to
    share some valuable information.
[02:40] Shinozaki
    Valuable information?
[02:42] Iruga
    At this rate, there's no way
    you can defeat the Queen.
[02:47] Iruga
    I'm assuming that you've already figured out
[02:49] Iruga
    that the Queen can obtain Rights
    without an owner.
[02:53] Gobo
    Y-Yeah...
SIGN    Attack
[02:55] Iruga
    Attack, defense, revival...
    even Rights to conceal herself.
SIGN    Defense
SIGN    Revival
SIGN    Concealment
[03:00] Iruga
    The Queen has a strong hand
    and a full slate...
[03:04] Iruga
    and that's where my info comes into play!
[03:07] Iruga
    Today, I'm gonna teach you
    the hottest source of information!
[03:13] Iruga
    Knight Kato...
[03:15] Iruga
    He's the one you should win over if you
    want a safe way to extract information!
[03:19] Rika
    Didn't Pres say he planted
    something in Knight?
[03:26] Iruga
    I don't know if I'd blindly believe
    the President if I were you.
[03:30] Iruga
    Not that I'd stop you guys...
    it's fun to watch anyway.
[03:36] Shinozaki
    Don't blindly believe... Yagihashi?
[03:39] Rika
    What's that supposed to mean?
[03:41] Shinozaki
    It's Iruga we're dealing with.
[03:43] Shinozaki
    We may be better off ignoring him.
[03:46] Gobo
    Yeah, for real!
[03:47] Yagihashi
    Good grief...
[03:49] Yagihashi
    I wondered what you meant
    when you told me to listen here.
[03:52] Yagihashi
    Come to find out, you just wanted to
    talk about me behind my back.
[03:55] Iruga
    I only told the truth!
[03:58] Yagihashi
    It's not exactly helpful, though.
[04:01] Sudo
    I'm fully on board now.
[04:04] Sudo
    Count me in, too.
[04:05] Sudo
    Still, I'm surprised you're
    willing to do this, Iruga.
[04:08] Iruga
    Aww, shucks.
[04:10] Iruga
    I just still believe
    in Saneatsu Narita, that's all.
[04:15] Raion
    Sorry to tell you guys this, but that
    Yagihashi guy reeks of lies to me.
[04:21] Ryuta
    I guess it's weird that he didn't
    mention the Queen sooner, but...
[04:25] Ryuta
    He's always been that way, you know.
[04:27] Raion
    I'm not telling you to turn
    your back on him. But...
[04:30] Raion
    It doesn't hurt to be cautious.
[04:37] Ryuta
    Omi, what the hell are you...
[04:41] Omi
    Feels awesome!
[04:43] Raion
    Whoooooa! I can feel
    the tension melting away!
[04:48] Ryuta
    We gotta do this more often!
[04:57] Queen
    The Emperor is my deputy officer...
[05:00] Queen
    I won't allow any defiance against him.
[05:02] Queen
    Is that understood?
[05:04] Ikusa
    I don't get any of this.
[05:06] Ikusa
    Lady Kisaragi was in contact with the Emperor?
[05:09] Meguru
    I guess.
[05:10] Meguru
    Even the Emperor follows her lead...
[05:12] Meguru
    That's the power of Lady Kisaragi.
[05:14] Meguru
    By the way, where's Kou?
[05:16] Meguru
    I didn't see him.
[05:17] Ikusa
    Who knows. Don't care either way.
[05:21] Ikusa
    I'm not happy about these newcomers, but...
[05:25] Ikusa
    with them around, Kou
    can't get too comfortable.

[05:28] Ikusa
    Can't complain about that.
[05:30] Mutsuki
    Looks like there's some
    internal conflict in play.

[05:33] Mutsuki
    And what's he doing on our side?
[05:36] Mutsuki
    Stop. My only focus should be
    on serving Lady Kisaragi!

[05:41] Hikari
    Wait a second!
[05:43] Hikari
    So you're saying that you killed me
    because of a misunderstanding?!
[05:46] Hirayama
    You were about to tell them about our plan.
[05:49] Hirayama
    I thought you were betraying us.
[05:51] Hirayama
    Besides, the whole point of the infiltration
    was to defeat both the Queen and the Emperor!
[05:56] Hikari
    You're right... I shouldn't have
    acted on my own judgment.
[06:00] Hikari
    That's my fault.
[06:02] Hirayama
    Let's go back to square one...
[06:04] Hirayama
    Are you still willing to join us?
[06:07] Hikari
    Of course.
[06:08] Hirayama
    Good! Then let's start over.
[06:10] Hirayama
    Tell me why you were willing
    to reveal our plan in the first place.
[06:17] Hikari
    Because of Raion Ouno.
[06:19] Hikari
    The current Emperor's chance at winning
    is much higher with him on their side.
[06:24] Hikari
    I think we should join forces.
[06:26] Hirayama
    That kid...
[06:29] Hirayama
    Okay.
[06:30] Hirayama
    I trust your judgment.
[06:34] Hirayama
    Knight...
[06:36] Hirayama
    Can you still use your Destruction Right?
[06:40] Hirayama
    Perfect.
[06:41] Hirayama
    I was worried my unusual tactic
    wouldn't work, but we're good.
[06:45] Hikari
    Unusual?
SIGN    Immobilization Right
[06:47] Hirayama
    My Immobilization Right comes
    with both physical and principle fixation.
SIGN    Physical Fixation
    Principle Fixation
[06:50] Hirayama
    I used principle fixation to secure ownership
    of Rights between Knight, Lili, and myself.
[06:55] Hikari
    You secured your... ownership?
[06:58] Hirayama
    As long as Knight or Lili is alive,
    I maintain ownership of my own Right.
[07:04] Hirayama
    And as long as I own the Immobilization
    Right, they both maintain their Rights.
[07:09] Hikari
    I see...
[07:12] Hikari
    Someone's coming!
[07:13] Hirayama
    Knight!
[07:19] Kirishima
    Hirayama... Ebina...
[07:22] Hirayama
    You're interrupting our date.
[07:24] Kirishima
    I've already reported you two
    to Lady Kisaragi.
[07:31] Kirishima
    But she didn't give any orders.
[07:34] Kirishima
    You understand what that means?
[07:37] Kirishima
    It means you're less
    of a nuisance than an eyesore.
[07:39] Kirishima
    You don't even amount
    to the threat of a fly.
[07:42] Kirishima
    Go ahead and play make-believe all you want.
[07:44] Kirishima
    If you ever stand in the way,
    I'll dispose of you with my eyes closed.
[07:49] Hirayama
    Hey...
[07:51] Hirayama
    Don't get too cocky and underestimate me
    just because you're one of the Three Powers.
[07:55] Kirishima
    Oh? Will you prove me wrong?
[08:00] Hirayama
    Whatever.
[08:01] Hirayama
    Don't mind me. I'm just acting up.
[08:08] Kazuhiko
    They said to look for clues
    to the Queen but...
[08:12] Nishime
    At least you get a chance
    to get some fresh air, Souma.
[08:15] Nishime
    You've been sticking next to Gobo
    guarding him this entire time.
[08:19] Souma
    Yeah, I guess.
[08:23] Kazuhiko
    Explosion Right.
[08:27] Souma
    Is he the Queen's servant?
[08:29] Kazuhiko
    Look at me, keeping my cool for a change.
[08:31] Man
    Huh? Queen...? What?
[08:34] Souma
    Must be a surviving civilian...
[08:37] Souma
    Why did you attack us like that?!
[08:39] Souma
    Tell the truth!
[08:41] Man
    T-To survive you have to kill
    before you get killed!
[08:44] Souma
    Any Rights?!
[08:46] Man
    Wh-Wha? Um, I'm...
[08:48] Souma
    Do you have any or not?!
[08:50] Souma
    Make up your mind!
[08:53] Nishime
    Scary...
[08:54] Man
    I have some still sealed in envelopes!
[08:56] Souma
    Hand them over!
[08:57] Kazuhiko
    Hold up, isn't this called... extortion?
SIGN    Right
[09:03] Man
    There was another one I found, but
    it disappeared before I could grab it...
[09:08] Souma
    Disappeared?!
[09:09] Man
    It's true! Please believe me!
[09:11] Souma
    When did you find it?
[09:12] Man
    Y-Yesterday!
[09:14] Man
    Please! Let me go!
SIGN    Right
[09:17] Souma
    They must have recovered
    abandoned envelopes,

[09:20] Souma
    which would make these valuable.
[09:23] Souma
    Should we take them back with us?
[09:24] Souma
    Or should we bring this dude along?
[09:29] Souma
    Wait, where did he go?!
[09:30] Kazuhiko/Nishime
    He took off.
[09:31] Souma
    Why didn't you stop him?!
[09:33] Souma
    So that's how everything went down.
SIGN    Right
[09:35] Souma
    I think these are the last of them.
[09:38] Souma
    Apparently, envelopes across Tokyo
    were recovered yesterday.
[09:42] Ryuta
    Then first thing's first...
[09:46] Emperor
    It's 23:55 PM.
[09:49] Emperor
    This is your Emperor speaking.
[09:50] Gobo
    Another fake message? For real?
[09:53] Shinozaki
    What's the Queen up to now?
[09:56] Eren
    Hang on a minute!
[09:57] Eren
    The Queen sent her last message
    from the network station, right?
[10:01] Eren
    That's why her message only
    aired on one channel on TV...
[10:04] Raion
    Yeah...
[10:05] Eren
    Then... wouldn't this be...
[10:08] Eren
    Impossible?!
[10:11] Emperor
    I have organized an event
    specifically for Right owners.
[10:16] Emperor
    To launch this special event,
    we will be conducting Tasuketsu
[10:22] Emperor
    within Tokyo's 23 wards tonight.
[10:24] Shinozaki
    Tasuketsu?!
[10:25] Ryuta
    No way!
[10:25] Omi
    It's the Emperor!
[10:26] Raion
    It's possible!
[10:27] Raion
    The Emperor's body was missing...
[10:30] Raion
    With the power of resurrection... Damn it!
[10:32] Raion
    Depending on the question, we could all die!
[10:34] Kazuhiko
    I thought the Emperor couldn't
    submit questions himself!
[10:38] Raion
    The Queen resurrected him!
[10:40] Raion
    She must be standing beside
    him providing questions!
[10:44] Ryuta
    Omi! No matter what happens,
    you gotta stay alive!
[10:48] Omi
    Gotcha!
[10:50] Emperor
    It's time. We will now
    begin tallying the majority.
[10:53] Omi
    I reject!
[10:57] Sign
    You're a male with the blood type RH-O
[10:57] Sign
    who has lived in Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture.
[11:00] Ryuta
    What the hell is this?
[11:03] Rika
    He's targeting a specific person?
[11:06] Raion
    The jig is up...
[11:13] Emperor
    We've passed midnight.
SIGN    Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority
[11:19] Emperor
    We will now begin our new
    event, the Killer Game.
[11:24] Emperor
    The aim is to kill as many
    Right owners as possible within Tokyo
[11:28] Emperor
    between now and the end of the game.
[11:30] Emperor
    Winners will be those within the top 10%.
[11:33] Emperor
    As of midnight tomorrow,
    those outside the 23 wards
[11:37] Emperor
    and losers of the game
    will be executed as needed.
[11:41] Emperor
    Good luck to all participants.
[11:45] Emperor
    Now for...
[11:47] Emperor
    Prime Right of Recovery.
[11:55] Emperor
    All Right owners in Tokyo have died
    and I've recovered their Rights.
[12:01] Emperor
    Who knew working with the Queen
    would make Tasuketsu possible...
[12:06] Queen
    Not that my powers will always
    be available, as busy as I am.
[12:09] Ikusa
    Lady Kisaragi,
[12:11] Ikusa
    we've surely exterminated the current
    Emperor's entire group with this blow.
[12:16] Iruga
    Oh boy...
[12:17] Iruga
    I wasn't expecting this.
[12:18] Iruga
    They may have all died with that one...
[12:23] Omi
    Y-You guys...
[12:26] Omi
    How are you all safe?!
[12:29] Ryuta
    I... have no clue...
[12:31] Raion
    We were definitely supposed
    to die with that question.
[12:36] Gobo
    Lucky us...
SIGN    Protect
[12:38] Ryuta
    It was that!
[12:39] Omi
    The envelope with the command!
[12:41] Gobo
    I opened it while commanding in my head
    to protect all of us from Tasuketsu.
[12:48] Kazuhiko
    Nice move, Gobo!
[12:49] Raion
    Envelopes with commands?
[12:52] Ryuta
    Oh yeah... It's basically our key to
    enforce the Prime Right of Obedience.
[12:57] Shinozaki
    Its owner was a boy named
    Teppei Yoshii, but he died.
[13:01] Shinozaki
    He set a trick to retain ownership
    of the Right even after his death,
[13:04] Shinozaki
    and passed it on to his friend, Ren Iruga.
[13:06] Raion
    Ren Iruga?
[13:08] Ryuta
    We'll tell you all the deets later.
[13:10] Ryuta
    Just think of it as a secret
    weapon we got from Iruga.
[13:13] Omi
    The only two commands we have left
    are "destroy" and "love".
[13:18] Souma
    Either way, we've gotta thank
    Gobo for his quick thinking.
[13:25] Gobo
    Are all these people dead, for real?!
[13:28] Nishime
    The Emperor's really back, isn't he?
[13:32] Sudo
    He was able to conduct Tasuketsu,
[13:34] Sudo
    so I'm assuming all the lost Rights
    have been restored, too.
[13:38] Ryuta
    After all that Sane risked to defeat him...
[13:42] Ryuta
    How could he be back?!
[13:44] Sudo
    It won't be long before the Emperor
    figures out we're still alive
[13:47] Sudo
    after realizing he
    couldn't recover our Rights.
[13:51] Sudo
    That's when the Killer Game
    will come into play.
[13:55] Yagihashi
    He could also conduct another round
    of Tasuketsu and take tally again.
[14:00] Yagihashi
    We escaped the last round by chance.
[14:02] Yagihashi
    There's no way we survive another round.
[14:04] Raion
    There's no point in our plan
    to lure out the Queen now.
[14:08] Raion
    We're totally out of options.
[14:10] Sudo
    Either way, our focus for now has to be
    to gather information and find safe grounds.
[14:15] Sudo
    Let's do what we can.
[14:17] Raion
    If he really did plant something in Knight...
[14:22] Shinozaki
    If Iruga's information turns out to be true...
[14:26] Raion/Shinozaki
    We have to wait for Knight's next move!
[14:33] Knight
    Hey, hag...
[14:35] Knight
    Can I ask a favor?
[14:39] Queen
    Well this is a surprise.
[14:41] Queen
    What is it?
[14:42] Knight
    I want you to let me see Mom and Lili!
[14:47] Knight
    Just one time!
[14:48] Knight
    After that, I'll work even harder!
[14:56] Queen
    Fine.
[14:58] Queen
    However...
[14:59] Queen
    You'll have to make do with just Lili.
[15:01] Knight
    What about my mom?!
[15:02] Queen
    Your mother is a hostage,
    and it'll stay that way.
[15:05] Queen
    If you disobey me,
    I'll kill her in a heartbeat.
[15:10] Knight
    Okay...
[15:12] Queen
    I'm glad you're such a good boy.
[15:14] Knight
    But please...
[15:17] Knight
    Can we go just you and me?!
[15:20] Knight
    I... don't like that guy...
[15:23] Queen
    Fine.
[15:24] Queen
    Wait outside.
[15:28] Seraphiel
    By yourself?
[15:30] Queen
    He won't act out as long as I mention
    his mother is being held hostage.
[15:35] Emperor
    Man! I'm bored.
[15:39] Emperor
    Can I go to the bathroom?
[15:41] Seraphiel
    Why of course.
[15:45] Knight
    I didn't know this building was here!
[15:54] Queen
    Lili is in here.
[16:00] Knight
    Lili!
[16:02] Knight
    Thank God...
[16:03] Knight
    You really are safe!
[16:07] Queen
    Are you satisfied now?
[16:09] Knight
    Yeah...
[16:10] Queen
    Then let's head back.
[16:16] Knight
    Um... Now that I saw her and all...
[16:21] Knight
    Thank you!
[16:26] (Flashback) Yagihashi
    The magic words are "Thank you"
    and "Cock-A-Doodle-Doo."
[16:30] (Flashback) Yagihashi
    They become a spell to freeze
    time of anything you touch.
[16:35] Knight
    I did it!
[16:36] Knight
    Now I just have to...
[16:44] Knight
    To the roof!
[16:57] Emperor
    Prime Right of Recovery.
[16:59] Emperor
    Recover all knives within
    a two-kilometer radius.
[17:03] Emperor
    Prime Right of Imitation!
[17:05] Emperor
    All knives!
[17:07] Emperor
    Imitate the same movement!
[17:10] Knight
    Destruction Right!
[17:22] Knight
    Right of Flight!
[17:25] Knight
    Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!
[17:31] Kazuhiko
    What's up, Pres?
[17:34] Yagihashi
    That's the signal...
[17:44] Yagihashi
    Prime Right of Induction.
[17:51] Yagihashi
    Flying at supersonic speed
    would have been too hard on them...
[17:55] Yagihashi
    Welcome, Kato siblings.
[17:58] Yagihashi
    I'm glad you came.
[18:01] Queen
    Knight tricked me?!
[18:04] Queen
    It's as though time slipped away...
[18:06] Queen
    This can only be... The Suspension Right...
[18:10] Queen
    Tojuro Yagihashi!
[18:14] Yagihashi
    I've gained a grasp of the overall picture.
    Thank you, Knight-kun.
[18:17] Yagihashi
    Let's recap.
[18:20] Yagihashi
    At the top is the Queen, and at a similar
    level are the Emperor and Seraphiel.
[18:25] Yagihashi
    Just below that are the Three Powers,
    then Touya Mutsuki...
[18:29] Yagihashi
    Ren Iruga and Yohei Fukami's
    positions are unknown.
[18:33] Yagihashi
    And Hirayama and Hikaru Ebina
    are on your side,
[18:37] Yagihashi
    which means they're our comrades, as well.
[18:40] Sudo
    As we thought, the Queen has the power
    to both grant and take away Rights.
[18:43] Sudo
    And she even has the Resurrection Right.
[18:45] Nishime
    No wonder why that guy with the
    Immobilization Right was strong...
[18:49] Omi
    I wonder if they can come here somehow...
[18:51] Shinozaki
    Above all, our aim is the Queen.
[18:54] Souma
    We've gotta take down that
    resurrection factory of doom.
[18:57] Yagihashi
    As of right now, besides us and
    whoever applied to that last question...
[19:04] Yagihashi
    The entire population of Tokyo should be dead.
[19:07] Sudo
    In the name of the Killer Game, the Emperor
    ordered all people to head to Tokyo.
[19:14] Sudo
    He's planning to use survivors as pawns
    to find and annihilate us.
[19:18] Ryuta
    He mentioned that people outside of Tokyo
    would be executed starting tomorrow.
[19:22] Sudo
    It was to prevent us from
    escaping outside of Tokyo.
[19:27] Knight
    H-Hey, Yagihashi?
[19:30] Knight
    You think Lili's okay?
[19:32] Yagihashi
    She might be asleep under
    the influence of some kind of Right.
[19:36] Yagihashi
    I've frozen her in time for now.
[19:39] Yagihashi
    She'll be safe as long as she's frozen.
[19:41] Yagihashi
    Let's release the Suspension Right
    once we figure out a solution.
[19:45] Knight
    Thanks!
[19:47] Sudo
    The first task is to figure out our defenses.
[19:48] Sudo
    Let's all head to the other room.
[19:54] Ryuta
    I bet you're tired!
[19:56] Ryuta
    We've got a massage chair, you know!
[19:58] Ryuta
    It's the best, you should try it!
[20:00] Omi
    It's so relaxing!
[20:06] Raion
    Yagihashi... Sudo...
[20:11] Raion
    What are you guys plotting?!
[20:19] Seraphiel
    Kisaragi-san, can you tell me what happened?
[20:22] Queen
    He got me...
[20:24] Queen
    He used Knight as a medium to
    attack me with the Suspension Right!
[20:28] Queen
    Now, Knight and Lili are both gone.
[20:31] Seraphiel
    So that request of his was a trap then.
[20:35] Queen
    I'm sure Tojuro planted an idea
    in his head and manipulated him!
[20:39] Queen
    I thought he'd figure out my
    end goal and join me, but...
[20:43] Queen
    I never should have given him
    the Suspension Right!
[20:45] Emperor
    We should be able to defend ourselves
    just fine with all the Rights in our hands.
[20:51] Queen
    We were caught off guard, Emperor!
[20:55] Emperor
    Maybe cooperating in conducting
    Tasuketsu isn't as easy as I thought?

[20:58] Emperor
    Was she exposed to some unusual sacrifice?
[21:01] Emperor
    Oh well.
[21:03] Emperor
    Anyways, seeing as nature's blessings
    will drown out our voices to the outside,
[21:08] Emperor
    why not call each other by our usual names?
[21:12] Emperor
    Big sis.
[21:15] Queen
    Haruto.
