**[00:23] ---**
Walking home shoulder to shoulder with a girl...
**[00:27] ---**
If I said I never dreamt of
such a teen-drama-series scene...
**[00:32] ---**
...I'd be lying.
**[00:34] ---**
I'm making that dream a reality now...
**[00:38] ---**
...but why is it that I'm not a bit happy?
**[00:41] ---**
That way. Did you say something?
**[00:43] ---**
No, nothing.
**[00:51] ---**
We'll arrive at Nagato's condo pretty soon.
**[00:59] ---**
*The answer is always in my heart.*
**[01:06] ---**
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
**[01:14] ---**
*I don't know why, but I chose you.*
**[01:20] ---**
*It won't stop now. Mr. Destiny deemed it so.*
**[01:26] ---**
*I believe it's boring to just mimic.*
**[01:32] ---**
*You'll be right, so I'll do what I feel as I feel it.*
**[01:41] ---**
*It's an adventure, right, right?*
**[01:43] ---**
*In this world where truth becomes fiction.*
**[01:48] ---**
*We become stronger
because we have dreams...*
**[01:52] ---**
*...not for the sake of someone.*
**[01:55] ---**
*Please come with me.*
**[01:58] ---**
*See me and my endlessly free self.*
**[02:04] ---**
*Today's present that becomes
tomorrow's past is the miracle.*
**[02:10] ---**
*Let's grab the future.*
**[02:16] ---**
*I believe you...*
**[02:25] ---**
Asakura apparently lived in room 505 here.
**[02:26] ---**
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya V
**[02:28] ---**
I see.
**[02:30] ---**
What's that?
**[02:31] ---**
Oh, nothing.
**[02:33] ---**
By the way, how'll we get in?
**[02:36] ---**
You know the numbers?
**[02:38] ---**
I don't. These are tests of endurance.
**[02:49] ---**
Wha--?
**[02:52] ---**
Hurry up over here.
**[02:54] ---**
In any case, it's totally strange.
**[02:57] ---**
A sudden transfer to Canada,
and no one knows the new address.
**[03:01] ---**
You said that.
**[03:02] ---**
There are stranger things.
**[03:05] ---**
Asakura didn't come to
North High from a city junior high.
**[03:09] ---**
Of course not...
**[03:11] ---**
Upon checking, she was endorsed
by another city's junior high.
**[03:15] ---**
That's so strange. It's not like
North High's a famous prep school.
**[03:19] ---**
It's just a public school.
**[03:21] ---**
Why would they do that?
**[03:23] ---**
Dunno.
**[03:24] ---**
But she lives so close to school.
**[03:27] ---**
And in a condo,
not a month-to-month apartment.
**[03:30] ---**
It's nice and pricey here.
Did she go to junior high from here?
**[03:35] ---**
I dunno.
**[03:36] ---**
We need to check how long Asakura lived here.
**[03:40] ---**
It's vacant now.
There's no way the door will open.
**[03:44] ---**
I really think we're wasting our time.
**[03:47] ---**
Manager's office.
**[03:49] ---**
I don't think they'd lend us keys.
**[03:52] ---**
Not for that.
To ask how long Asakura lived here.
**[03:55] ---**
Let's just go home. We can't
do anything even if we find out.
**[03:59] ---**
No.
**[04:00] ---**
We're friends of a previous tenant,
Miss Ryoko Asakura...
**[04:05] ---**
...but she moved so suddenly.
**[04:07] ---**
We're in a bind since we can't contact her.
**[04:10] ---**
Did you hear where she was moving?
**[04:12] ---**
And I'd like to know when
Miss Asakura began living here.
**[04:16] ---**
She can talk with common sense like this?
**[04:22] ---**
Ryoko Asakura's new address
and how long she lived here!
**[04:27] ---**
Oh, oh...
**[04:29] ---**
Miss Asakura from room 505.
**[04:31] ---**
There was no sign of movers,
but her room was empty.
**[04:37] ---**
It surprised me.
**[04:39] ---**
There weren't any movers?
**[04:41] ---**
I haven't heard where she moved.
**[04:43] ---**
I have to forward packages and things too.
**[04:47] ---**
It's troublesome.
**[04:49] ---**
How long has she lived here?
**[04:51] ---**
I think about three years.
**[04:54] ---**
I remember since a pretty young girl
came by with Japanese sweets.
**[05:00] ---**
And her parents?
**[05:01] ---**
Do you know what kind of jobs
her father and mother had?
**[05:05] ---**
No clue.
**[05:06] ---**
Come to think of it,
I saw her time and again...
**[05:10] ---**
...but I never said hello to her parents.
**[05:13] ---**
But it's pricey here, right?
**[05:16] ---**
I can't think anyone would
get a loan to let their child live alone.
**[05:20] ---**
No, it wasn't a loan.
They paid up-front with cold, hard cash.
**[05:25] ---**
I was thinking they must be filthy rich.
**[05:27] ---**
She's good at digging.
**[05:29] ---**
Maybe if she became a detective...
**[05:30] ---**
I wish I could've at least said
some parting words. It's a shame.
**[05:35] ---**
By the way, you're rather pretty yourself.
**[05:40] ---**
Thank you for being so polite to us.
**[05:46] ---**
Hey, boy.
**[05:49] ---**
That girl will be very beautiful someday.
**[05:52] ---**
Don't let her slip away.
**[05:59] ---**
Oh?
**[06:03] ---**
Even she eats meals...
**[06:05] ---**
Could you live here too?
What a coincidence.
**[06:08] ---**
It's not from any angle.
**[06:10] ---**
Heard anything about Asakura?
**[06:14] ---**
You know she transferred, right?
**[06:16] ---**
I see. If you do, let me know.
**[06:19] ---**
Got it?
**[06:21] ---**
What happened to your glasses?
**[06:25] ---**
I don't know what to do
even if you looked at me...
**[06:33] ---**
Be careful.
**[06:37] ---**
What do I have to be careful of now?
**[06:40] ---**
Let's go.
**[06:50] ---**
Where do you plan to go now?
**[06:52] ---**
Dunno.
**[06:54] ---**
No plan?
**[07:01] ---**
Can I go home now?
**[07:10] ---**
Have you ever realized
how small your existence is on Earth?
**[07:16] ---**
What is she talking about?
**[07:19] ---**
I have. I'll never forget it.
**[07:22] ---**
When I was in 6th grade,
my whole family went to a baseball game.
**[07:28] ---**
To the stadium.
**[07:29] ---**
I had no interest in baseball,
but I was surprised when I got there.
**[07:33] ---**
Nothing but people as far as I could see.
**[07:36] ---**
Across the stadium, rice-sized people
were packed in and moving around.
**[07:41] ---**
I thought every single human
in Japan was gathered there.
**[07:45] ---**
And so I asked my dad,
"Just how many people are here?"
**[07:51] ---**
Dad answered, "50,000,
since the stadium was full."
**[07:54] ---**
Walking to the station after
the game, people overflowed.
**[07:58] ---**
I was really shocked to see it.
**[08:00] ---**
Seeing so many people...
**[08:03] ---**
...yet it was actually only
a small fraction of Japan as a whole.
**[08:07] ---**
Once at home, I used a calculator.
**[08:10] ---**
I learned in social studies that
the population's about a hundred million.
**[08:14] ---**
I divided that by 50,000.
**[08:17] ---**
It was only 1/2000. I was shocked once again.
**[08:21] ---**
I was only one person
among the mob at the stadium...
**[08:26] ---**
...and what seemed a lot there was
just a handful of the population.
**[08:32] ---**
Till then, I thought that I was
a somewhat special person.
**[08:37] ---**
It was fun in my family,
and my class in school...
**[08:40] ---**
...had people more interesting
than anywhere else in the world.
**[08:46] ---**
But I realized then that it wasn't so.
**[08:50] ---**
Even in class, what I thought
was the most fun in the world...
**[08:54] ---**
...was nothing but ordinary
in schools anywhere in Japan.
**[08:59] ---**
To Japan's entire population,
it was nothing out of the ordinary.
**[09:04] ---**
When I realized that, it suddenly felt like...
**[09:07] ---**
...the entire world around me
started to fade into gray.
**[09:12] ---**
Brushing my teeth and sleeping.
Waking up and eating breakfast.
**[09:16] ---**
It was everywhere. Everyone did it every day.
**[09:21] ---**
Thinking that, everything became boring.
**[09:24] ---**
And if the world has this many people...
**[09:27] ---**
...some don't have ordinary lives,
but very interesting ones.
**[09:30] ---**
That's what I believed must have been.
**[09:34] ---**
Why was it that it wasn't me?
**[09:37] ---**
Until I graduated grade school,
I had always thought that way.
**[09:42] ---**
And I thought of something:
**[09:44] ---**
That fun things
won't come your way if you wait.
**[09:48] ---**
I thought I would
change myself in junior high.
**[09:51] ---**
I wanted to tell the world,
"I'm not a girl who's just waiting."
**[09:54] ---**
I think I've done so.
**[09:57] ---**
But in the end, nothing happened.
**[09:59] ---**
Before I knew it, I was already in high school.
**[10:03] ---**
I thought something would change.
**[10:16] ---**
The train gave me time
to consider voicing opposition...
**[10:20] ---**
...or work around it
with some philosophical reference.
**[10:25] ---**
I see...
**[10:27] ---**
I'm kind of melancholy
that this is all I could muster.
**[10:30] ---**
I'm going home.
**[10:36] ---**
Come to think of it,
I can get home sooner that way too...
**[10:41] ---**
...but it felt as though Haruhi's back
was telling me not to follow.
**[10:47] ---**
I was at a standstill till I could
no longer see Haruhi's back.
**[10:53] ---**
I wonder what I'm doing.
**[11:00] ---**
Hello.
**[11:03] ---**
I thought I'd fulfill the promise
I made some time ago...
**[11:06] ---**
...so I waited for your return.
**[11:09] ---**
You sound like you know exactly where I was.
**[11:13] ---**
I hope you don't mind
sparing a bit of your time.
**[11:18] ---**
It's about Suzumiya?
**[11:20] ---**
It's about Miss Suzumiya.
**[11:24] ---**
The taxi arriving was some good timing.
**[11:28] ---**
You asked me before
to show you proof that I was an esper.
**[11:34] ---**
The perfect chance has come,
so I thought I'd have you join me.
**[11:38] ---**
We need to go far away for this?
**[11:41] ---**
For me to show you
my full abilities as an esper...
**[11:45] ---**
...it has to be in
a certain location and condition.
**[11:48] ---**
The place we're headed now
meets the requirements correctly.
**[11:54] ---**
You still think Haruhi's some kind of god?
**[11:57] ---**
Have you heard the term, "human principle"?
**[12:00] ---**
Never heard of it.
**[12:02] ---**
Boiling it down, it's the thought
that the universe is the way it is...
**[12:06] ---**
...because humans observed it
and found out it was that way.
**[12:12] ---**
I don't get it at all.
**[12:14] ---**
Should I rephrase it as,
"I observe, therefore the universe is"?
**[12:19] ---**
In other words, there are sentient beings
called humans in this world...
**[12:24] ---**
...and by discovering physics and constants...
**[12:26] ---**
...they can observe that
the universe stands in this way...
**[12:30] ---**
...and its existence is clear for the first time.
**[12:33] ---**
Then if those who observed it
were not to evolve this far on Earth...
**[12:40] ---**
...the universe's existence
would be unknown without observers.
**[12:45] ---**
Existence and nonexistence would be the same.
**[12:48] ---**
Humans exist, so the universe
is known... A humancentric theory.
**[12:54] ---**
Such a stupid story exists?
With or without us, the universe is.
**[12:58] ---**
Correct.
**[13:00] ---**
So the human principle
is just an experimental theory.
**[13:04] ---**
However, an interesting fact
floats up from here.
**[13:08] ---**
Why was this universe created
so fit for human survival?
**[13:13] ---**
If the gravity constant or
particle mass ratio were slightly different...
**[13:17] ---**
...this universe wouldn't have become this way.
**[13:20] ---**
Sounds like a pamphlet for a
strange religion that's into science.
**[13:25] ---**
It's not that I believe there's
an omnipotent god out there...
**[13:30] ---**
...who created humans or anything.
**[13:33] ---**
But I doubt something.
**[13:35] ---**
What?
**[13:36] ---**
That perhaps we're
nothing more than clowns...
**[13:39] ---**
...on our tippy toes at the edge of a cliff.
**[13:44] ---**
Just kidding.
**[13:45] ---**
I can't understand a single thing you said.
**[13:48] ---**
I only referenced
the human principle to ease you in.
**[13:52] ---**
We haven't discussed Miss Suzumiya.
**[13:54] ---**
So why do you, Nagato,
and Miss Asahina all love Haruhi so much?
**[13:59] ---**
I believe she's a charming woman,
but putting that aside...
**[14:04] ---**
Do you recall...
**[14:05] ---**
...how I mentioned Miss Suzumiya
may have created the world?
**[14:10] ---**
It's annoying but still in my memory.
**[14:13] ---**
She has the ability to make her wishes reality.
**[14:17] ---**
Don't say it so seriously.
**[14:19] ---**
Miss Suzumiya was sure
aliens existed and wished it so.
**[14:24] ---**
So Yuki Nagato is here.
**[14:27] ---**
Similarly, she wanted future men.
**[14:29] ---**
So Mikuru Asahina is here.
**[14:32] ---**
And as for me, I'm here
just because she wished it so.
**[14:38] ---**
As I've been saying, how do you know?
**[14:41] ---**
It was three years ago.
**[14:42] ---**
It was three years ago. Enough with that.
**[14:44] ---**
I'm sick of it.
**[14:45] ---**
One day, I suddenly knew of
my powers and how to use them.
**[14:51] ---**
And that those with similar powers
awakened to them similarly.
**[14:56] ---**
Plus, the fact they were all
brought forth by Haruhi Suzumiya.
**[15:00] ---**
I can't explain why.
I can't help it since I just know.
**[15:04] ---**
I'll throw you a trillion bones,
but I don't think she could do that.
**[15:09] ---**
We couldn't believe it ourselves.
**[15:11] ---**
That one girl changed the universe...
**[15:14] ---**
No, perhaps even created it.
**[15:18] ---**
Furthermore, that girl
thinks this world isn't amusing.
**[15:24] ---**
It's somewhat scary.
**[15:25] ---**
Why?
**[15:26] ---**
I told you.
**[15:27] ---**
If you could create the
universe freely, you can unmake it...
**[15:32] ---**
...and re-create it as you please.
**[15:34] ---**
If so, it will literally be the end of the world.
**[15:38] ---**
Though there's no way for us to know.
**[15:42] ---**
Perhaps this world
that we believe is the only one...
**[15:45] ---**
...was the result of many repeated creations.
**[15:49] ---**
Then just reveal Haruhi's identity to her.
**[15:52] ---**
She'd be ecstatic to find out that espers exist.
**[15:55] ---**
Maybe she won't consider changing the world.
**[15:58] ---**
That's problematic too.
**[16:00] ---**
If she thinks esper powers
exist on an everyday level...
**[16:05] ---**
...the world will really end up that way.
**[16:08] ---**
Physics will be all twisted.
The entire universe will be in chaos.
**[16:13] ---**
If you exist due to Haruhi's wish,
why doesn't she realize it?
**[16:18] ---**
It's strange.
**[16:19] ---**
The wish for aliens,
future men, and espers to exist...
**[16:24] ---**
...and realistic thoughts that
they can't exist are fighting within her.
**[16:29] ---**
Her words and actions are truly eccentric.
**[16:32] ---**
But in reality, she's a normal human
with a decent outlook.
**[16:38] ---**
Her sandstorm-like spirits from
junior high have been calm lately.
**[16:44] ---**
I would've preferred that they stayed calm.
**[16:47] ---**
But now we face the making of a new tornado.
**[16:50] ---**
What's that?
**[16:52] ---**
It's your fault.
**[16:53] ---**
What about me?
**[16:55] ---**
You gave her the idea
to create such a strange club.
**[16:59] ---**
Talking to you...
**[17:01] ---**
...she made up her mind
to create a club full of weird people.
**[17:05] ---**
The burden reverts to you.
**[17:07] ---**
As a result, the ends of
the three powers interested in her...
**[17:12] ---**
...have gathered in one place.
**[17:15] ---**
A scapegoat.
**[17:18] ---**
Well, that's not the only reason.
**[17:37] ---**
I hate to say this at this point,
but you can still turn back now.
**[17:42] ---**
This far into it?
**[17:44] ---**
Could you close your eyes for a while?
**[17:47] ---**
It'll be over in a few seconds.
**[17:54] ---**
What's this about? Gross...
**[17:59] ---**
It's all right now.
**[18:05] ---**
The gap between dimensions.
**[18:07] ---**
Separate from our world,
a completely enclosed space.
**[18:12] ---**
This enclosed space's wall
is in the middle of this crosswalk.
**[18:16] ---**
It's roughly a 5 km radius.
**[18:18] ---**
Normally, there are
no physical means of entering.
**[18:22] ---**
One of the powers
that I have is to enter this space.
**[18:26] ---**
Imagine a domed space on this land's surface.
**[18:30] ---**
We're standing inside it.
**[18:32] ---**
Everyday life no different than usual
is going on outside us now.
**[18:37] ---**
Normal people wandering in?
Well, that seldom happens.
**[18:42] ---**
The enclosed space is completely random.
**[18:45] ---**
Sometimes every other day...
**[18:48] ---**
...and sometimes not for months on end.
**[18:50] ---**
What's certain is that when
Miss Suzumiya becomes unstable...
**[18:54] ---**
...this space is created.
**[18:57] ---**
I can sense the enclosed spaces
and how to enter them.
**[19:02] ---**
My powers are not limited to that.
**[19:06] ---**
You could say my power
reflects Miss Suzumiya's conscience.
**[19:11] ---**
If this is acne that pops up within her spirit...
**[19:15] ---**
...we're acne medication.
**[19:17] ---**
Your metaphors are hard to get.
**[19:20] ---**
People say that often.
But you sure are something.
**[19:24] ---**
You're not surprised seeing this.
**[19:26] ---**
I've seen all sorts of things.
**[19:29] ---**
It seems to have begun.
Please look behind you.
**[19:42] ---**
When Miss Suzumiya's irritation
reaches the limit, that giant appears.
**[19:47] ---**
She relieves her stress
by breaking everything around her.
**[19:52] ---**
Since she can't do this in the real world,
she creates these spaces...
**[19:57] ---**
...and only commits destructive acts in here.
**[20:00] ---**
Isn't it very logical?
**[20:02] ---**
That thing shouldn't be able
to stand due to its own weight.
**[20:06] ---**
No reasoning works against it.
**[20:09] ---**
Even bringing an entire
army unit wouldn't stop that thing.
**[20:14] ---**
Then that thing just keeps wreaking havoc?
**[20:17] ---**
Look over there.
**[20:19] ---**
My comrades.
**[20:21] ---**
Like me, they're people that hunt
giants powered by Miss Suzumiya.
**[20:26] ---**
Now, I have to go join them.
**[20:40] ---**
Jeez!
**[21:01] ---**
Sorry to make you wait.
I can show you one last interesting bit.
**[21:06] ---**
What else is there?
**[21:09] ---**
With the fall of that monster,
this enclosed space also falls.
**[21:13] ---**
It's quite a spectacle.
**[21:28] ---**
Do you understand?
**[21:30] ---**
No.
**[21:31] ---**
We call that blue monster
a divine man, a man made by god.
**[21:36] ---**
Divine men are linked to
Miss Suzumiya's mentality, as are we.
**[21:42] ---**
Only when the enclosed spaces
and divine men are born...
**[21:46] ---**
...can I unleash my powers.
**[21:49] ---**
Further, I can only
use them in enclosed spaces.
**[21:52] ---**
For instance, I have
no powers whatsoever now.
**[21:56] ---**
Why were we the ones given such powers?
**[21:59] ---**
Anyone would have been fine.
I just happened to be chosen.
**[22:04] ---**
We can't let the divine men do as they please.
**[22:08] ---**
Because the more they destroy,
the larger the space becomes.
**[22:13] ---**
The space earlier was
a small one, despite its size.
**[22:17] ---**
If we left it alone, it would grow
and engulf the entire world in time.
**[22:22] ---**
If so, the world ends
as that space's grey skies...
**[22:26] ---**
...replaces our world's.
**[22:28] ---**
How do you know that?
**[22:31] ---**
I can't help the fact that I know it.
**[22:34] ---**
The same can be said
for anyone in our "syndicate."
**[22:37] ---**
If we don't do something,
the world will be destroyed.
**[22:42] ---**
It really is troublesome.
**[22:45] ---**
Take care with Miss Suzumiya's behavior.
**[22:47] ---**
It was stable for a while,
but her mind is showing activity again.
**[22:52] ---**
Today hadn't happened in a while.
**[22:54] ---**
Isn't it out of my control even if I did?
**[22:58] ---**
Oh, I don't know.
**[23:00] ---**
Personally, I’d be willing
to leave everything in your hands.
**[23:06] ---**
Among us, there are all
sorts of different opinions...
**[23:09] ---**
Koizumi tells me to take care
with Haruhi's behavior.
**[23:14] ---**
Nagato, for some reason,
also said to be careful.
**[23:17] ---**
Even so, I didn't think
something would happen right away.
**[23:21] ---**
If I had foresight...
**[23:24] ---**
...and knew such a preposterous
thing would happen the next day...
**[23:28] ---**
...I'm sure I wouldn't
have been so sanguine.
**[23:40] ---**
*If we figured out the globe
like we would a riddle...*
**[23:48] ---**
*...we could all go anywhere together.*
**[23:52] ---**
*To the end of time, BOOOON!*
**[23:54] ---**
*This feeling that is a warp and a loop.*
**[23:59] ---**
*With an imagination that engulfs
anything and everything, let's play.*
**[24:05] ---**
*Something on one sunny day,
more fun than any magic possible...*
**[24:10] ---**
*...endlessly pours down. It's not impossible.*
**[24:16] ---**
*When we meet again tomorrow,
we're all humming as we smile.*
**[24:21] ---**
*Let's gather happiness. Such a thing is so easy.*
**[24:27] ---**
*Chase after me. Try to catch it.*
**[24:32] ---**
*A big dream... You like dreams, right?*
