[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?
