**[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.
