[00:00] ---
A crane struck with lightning went out of control,
causing huge damage to the Cornucopia.
[00:04] ---
Currently they are rebuilding at a very fast—
[00:06] ---
WINNER'S Casino.
A door to a new future opens in March.
[00:07] ---
THE MOMENT TO SOAR IS COMING!
[00:10] ---
It's one in the morning.
[00:10] ---
MIDNIGHT SARG
[00:11] ---
A strange shadow appears
before the SARG officer during his patrol.
[00:16] ---
It's members of DoRed.
[00:17] ---
The land value of Shantytown
has tripled since last year.
[00:17] ---
On the eve of Shantytown's redevelopment,
residents cry out because of increased rent.
[00:20] ---
Rent has skyrocketed, and many residents
have been evicted from their homes.
[00:25] ---
There's no time to waste concerning
the deterioration of the Pylon Apartment.
[00:25] ---
LIVE PRESS CONFERENCE
[00:28] ---
It is my duty as the mayor to evict all residents
immediately to protect everyone's safety.
[00:33] ---
Let's utilize the KANAE System
for the safety of our children.
[00:38] ---
NOVEMBER 27, 2021
[00:38] ---
Daisy's being rather noisy.
[00:40] ---
Did something happen?
[00:42] ---
D-Damn you. What did you just say?
[00:44] ---
What I meant was...
[00:46] ---
So that children can be safe,
surveillance cameras need to—
[00:49] ---
Our shopping street have sympathetic people.
[00:51] ---
We don't need stuff like that.
[00:53] ---
You just don't get it. Can't you even come
to a mutual understanding?
[00:57] ---
Why you...
[00:58] ---
Okay, okay. Calm down.
[00:59] ---
We'd like to listen to what you have to say.
[01:03] ---
That old man's gonna pop a vein at some point.
[01:06] ---
Everyone's on edge lately.
[01:08] ---
What can we do about it?
[01:10] ---
At times like this, Asumi would...
[01:16] ---
Shu?
[01:17] ---
I'm going to the hospital.
[01:19] ---
Oh, visiting Ms. Tsuzuragawa?
[01:21] ---
He's been going every day lately.
[01:24] ---
I should go to college, too.
[02:59] ---
Why are there less rusks here?
[03:01] ---
Is her family visiting or something?
[03:06] ---
Ms. Tsuzuragawa.
[03:09] ---
Please tell me.
[03:11] ---
Asumi is...
[03:13] ---
...still alive, isn't she?
[03:16] ---
NOVEMBER 29, 2021
[03:17] ---
Koki, aren't you overexerting yourself?
[03:20] ---
That method isn't something
I can compliment as a member of SARG.
[03:23] ---
It's an order from Gori Suido.
I trust you to do what is necessary.
[03:33] ---
Now, what should I do with this?
[03:37] ---
Sheesh.
[03:37] ---
NOVEMBER 30, 2021
[03:39] ---
What in the world was Titty-gawa collecting?
[03:44] ---
Something that was placed deliberately
at the observation deck of the Cornucopia...
[03:51] ---
Maybe Instructor
would know her true identity?
[03:53] ---
Hey, Ran. This is really bad.
[03:56] ---
Look at this. This is really bad!
[03:58] ---
Lucky, the way you said "bad" was...
[04:05] ---
YUMIHARIYU
[04:06] ---
Hey, is that really Kinako?
[04:08] ---
Whoa, it really is!
[04:10] ---
Definitely real.
[04:12] ---
Wh-Who are you guys?
[04:14] ---
Hey there. We used to be your fans.
[04:21] ---
There are posts on the internet
that Kinako is a member of DoRed.
[04:25] ---
Damn it. Who spilled it?
[04:27] ---
Is it true that you're a member of DoRed?
[04:31] ---
Um...
[04:32] ---
You know, DoRed has been causing us
tons of trouble.
[04:38] ---
H-Hold on.
[04:46] ---
So they're haters of DoRed. Damn it.
[04:49] ---
- What're they doing to Kinako—
- Wait. It's a trap.
[04:54] ---
Chikuwa?
[04:57] ---
Damn it.
[04:58] ---
You can't.
[05:00] ---
If you get caught, DoRed will fall apart.
So I'll go instead.
[05:04] ---
That's right.
[05:06] ---
No!
[05:07] ---
What the hell are you doing?
[05:11] ---
What did Kinako do?
[05:13] ---
If you got complaints, I'll take you on.
[05:15] ---
Who the hell are you?
[05:22] ---
What pathetic guys.
[05:24] ---
Kinako, you're not hurt, are you?
[05:31] ---
Shu, you're really helping me out this time.
[05:35] ---
But if SARG is staking out, then they must be
behind the leaked info about Kinako.
[05:40] ---
So rules are completely
worthless now? Bring it on.
[05:44] ---
Let's meet up with Kinako later. It's getting
too dangerous to be moving separately.
[05:49] ---
Stubborn, reckless,
and can't allow anything unjust.
[05:56] ---
So cold.
[05:57] ---
Shuta, huh?
[06:11] ---
Kinako.
[06:14] ---
Another error of unknown origin.
[06:16] ---
Oh, we got an "All Clear" report
from the SARG on site.
[06:20] ---
Yeah.
[06:22] ---
Near Yumihariyu...
[06:23] ---
So it definitely involves close acquaintances.
[06:26] ---
This frequency of errors...
Shouldn't we report this to Mr. Gori?
[06:30] ---
It's still within the margin of error.
[06:32] ---
Understood.
[06:34] ---
At this rate, Hazard Cast will stop functioning.
[06:37] ---
Where did the observation data
that Tsuzuragawa collected disappear to?
[06:44] ---
DECEMBER 5, 2021
[06:45] ---
You suddenly come back
from overseas and call me over?
[06:48] ---
Just tell me the identity of the thing
that was inside the KANAE System.
[06:52] ---
Don't be so hasty. Come with me.
[07:02] ---
It's been a while, Mr. Super Hacker.
[07:09] ---
You've got some nerve.
Because of you, Kunai...
[07:13] ---
Are you satisfied with one blow?
[07:20] ---
Oh, brother. Both master and apprentice
are so hot-headed.
[07:24] ---
Instructor, what are you doing
with a guy like this?
[07:26] ---
It's so I can overwrite the world with new art.
[07:29] ---
New art?
[07:31] ---
My objective is business.
I'll do anything if it makes money.
[07:35] ---
Thanks to DoRed making a riot, we made
quite a bit from the stock market.
[07:41] ---
I'm nothing like you.
[07:44] ---
The Graffiti War went viral on the internet,
but do you know who had set it in motion?
[07:50] ---
It can't be...
[07:51] ---
Yes. I can take an ordinary criminal
and set him up to be a revolutionist of justice.
[07:57] ---
We're on the same boat at this point.
[08:05] ---
So were you able
to hack into the KANAE System?
[08:09] ---
With no issues.
[08:11] ---
So what are you planning on doing?
[08:13] ---
We're hacking into democracy.
[08:17] ---
Majority rule is a merciless system where one vote
can decide the outcome of a battle.
[08:21] ---
A preliminary poll shows that 53% are in favor
of the KANAE System referendum,
[08:22] ---
IN FAVOR
[08:22] ---
KANAE SYSTEM LOCAL REFERENDUM
POLLING
[08:22] ---
AGAINST
[08:27] ---
and 47% are against it.
[08:29] ---
If more than 3% of the voters flip their decision,
the results will be the exact opposite.
[08:35] ---
And that's where this immense set of data
collected from these cPhones come in.
[08:40] ---
Length of cPhone operating time, where they
are used, area of activity, personal tastes,
[08:45] ---
how often they are swayed by ads...
[08:48] ---
Based on personal information like that,
individual activity patterns are extracted
[08:53] ---
and personalities are profiled.
[08:55] ---
Then, the 3% who are easily affected
by others and susceptible to changing opinions
[09:01] ---
are brought into the open.
[09:02] ---
We verify the targets
by using the personal information database,
[09:06] ---
and along with using personalized ads,
excessive and radical information is focused on them.
[09:11] ---
Once their emotions are rocked,
their sense of judgment plummets drastically
[09:15] ---
and make decisions
they wouldn't usually make.
[09:18] ---
Insanity can be propagated instantaneously.
[09:21] ---
I know that has happened overseas.
[09:23] ---
But there's no guarantee the same algorithm
would work in the 24th Ward.
[09:28] ---
There is.
[09:29] ---
The Graffiti War was the touchstone for it.
[09:35] ---
The gap is closing?
[09:35] ---
FOURTH REPORT
[09:35] ---
DECEMBER 16, 2021
[09:37] ---
A powerful movement to go vote
is happening on the internet right now,
[09:41] ---
and the number of DoRed supporters
are increasing.
[09:43] ---
Bracing for the forced eviction
of the Pylon Apartment,
[09:46] ---
a neighborhood watch
has been set up within Shantytown.
[09:49] ---
SARG can no longer...
[09:50] ---
How about we ask the UN forces
for assistance?
[09:52] ---
We should be able to pressure them
through connections from Mr. Howard.
[09:56] ---
Do we have to go that far?
[09:58] ---
It may not be enough.
[09:59] ---
When you think about the long term,
it's not wise to owe Howard any favors.
[10:05] ---
I see.
[10:06] ---
Then how about you utilize
the powers of Hazard Cast to the fullest?
[10:12] ---
Felons have no right to vote, huh?
[10:17] ---
All right.
[10:18] ---
REGARDING PYLON APARTMENT RESIDENTIAL AREA
[10:18] ---
SHANTYTOWN
[10:18] ---
We will forcibly execute
the eviction of Pylon Apartment.
[10:36] ---
DoRed CONTINUES TO CAUSE DAMAGE
[10:40] ---
It's absurd to suddenly have
your home taken away!
There are a lot of people
who had no where to go
so they drifted into Shantytown.
There seems to be a lot of confusion.
And this is all so you can watch them
through the KANAE system, right?
Outrageous!
[10:51] ---
NO SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY
[10:58] ---
Kozue is in danger.
[11:01] ---
DECEMBER 21, 2021
[11:06] ---
Is Shantytown really going to disappear?
[11:10] ---
Everyone is acting upon
some kind of assertion.
[11:14] ---
As a result, they're against each other.
[11:17] ---
Shu?
[11:19] ---
Help!
[11:20] ---
Hey! I told you to stop!
[11:22] ---
Hey you, it's for your own good
to calm down and stop!
[11:26] ---
Kozue?
[11:27] ---
I-I'm feeling some déjà vu?
[11:28] ---
- I'm heading down there.
- Okay.
[11:39] ---
- Let go. Let me go!
- Calm down. Hey!
[11:42] ---
No way. Why would I ever listen to SARG?
[11:44] ---
You can't doodle on a police car.
You need to obey the law.
[11:47] ---
And that law is screwed up.
[11:50] ---
- Kaoru.
- Help me out here, Senpai.
[11:53] ---
Look around.
[12:02] ---
This isn't good.
[12:03] ---
- Is that SARG?
- They're after a young girl.
[12:06] ---
Let's get 'em!
[12:07] ---
- That's right.
- Yeah!
[12:09] ---
- Unforgivable!
- How could you?
[12:16] ---
Wait!
[12:19] ---
Shuta Aoi.
[12:21] ---
Run for it.
[12:22] ---
But...
[12:22] ---
Just go!
[12:23] ---
Ms. Shishido.
[12:24] ---
Hurry up and go.
[12:26] ---
Hey, don't run away.
[12:27] ---
Come on now.
[12:28] ---
Which side are you on?
[12:30] ---
It's not about friend or foe.
[12:32] ---
Don't give us stupid lip service.
[12:35] ---
- Let's go.
- After them!
[12:36] ---
We will protect our Shantytown.
[12:39] ---
Kick SARG out!
[12:46] ---
Big Brother Shu.
[12:49] ---
Are you going to join DoRed?
Don't do that, it's dangerous.
[12:53] ---
You should help DoRed, too.
[12:55] ---
You can't trust a machine with justice.
A society under surveillance is dangerous.
[12:59] ---
Are you just echoing what DoRed says?
[13:01] ---
That's right. Got a problem with that?
[13:03] ---
Did you know that Kunai's grandma
was chased out of her home she loved so much?
[13:08] ---
Can you save her? Instead of only
chasing problems right in front of you?
[13:12] ---
Big Brother Shu, exactly whose hero are you?
[13:17] ---
I'm gonna go join DoRed.
[13:21] ---
Kozue. Hey, wait.
[13:27] ---
Don't allow SARG with their antics.
[13:28] ---
Gather under the DoRed flag.
[13:56] ---
Asumi. It's getting dark.
[13:59] ---
Let's go home.
[14:01] ---
Mom always said that if I do what is right,
[14:06] ---
then someday the right things
will come back to me.
[14:10] ---
But Mom died. Why is that?
[14:15] ---
That's because...
[14:17] ---
Was Mom lying to me?
[14:20] ---
No way. What Mrs. Kanae said is surely true.
[14:24] ---
So...
[14:25] ---
So I'll make sure stuff like this
won't happen ever again.
[14:29] ---
I'll become your...
[14:32] ---
The 24th Ward's hero.
[14:40] ---
Okay.
[14:45] ---
A hero? Yeah, right.
[14:47] ---
The town is in such a state, and yet I...
[14:50] ---
I prioritized my own feelings, and I haven't
been thinking on behalf of someone else,
[14:56] ---
like our teachers or Asumi have been doing.
[15:03] ---
HOSPITAL
[15:04] ---
From the hospital?
[15:06] ---
Hello?
[15:08] ---
No... If you meet with her...
[15:12] ---
It's happening again.
[15:13] ---
Have we figured out the reason
behind the abnormal alerts?
[15:16] ---
MS. TSUZURAGAWA
HAS JUST REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS.
[15:17] ---
Chief?
[15:19] ---
We're currently working on that case.
Give us a little bit of time.
[15:23] ---
Sorry, but I have an emergency
and need to go to the hospital right now.
[15:25] ---
SUSPECTED TERRORIST IDENTIFIED
[15:27] ---
Shuta is a terrorist? Impossible.
[15:30] ---
That can't be...
[15:32] ---
What's the meaning of this, Asumi?
[15:40] ---
What do you think?
[15:42] ---
A good job of inducing
public opinion, wasn't it?
[15:43] ---
SARG MANHANDLES A CIVILIAN GIRL!
ARE THERE NO DECENT
POLICE ORGANIZATIONS
IN THE 24TH WARD?
[15:47] ---
Well done.
[15:49] ---
Thanks to the supporters, we were able
to regain the hideout with no issues.
[15:53] ---
We'll launch our counterattack now.
[15:54] ---
Leave the broadcast preparations to us.
[16:00] ---
This place really is the most relaxing.
[16:04] ---
It's a bit lonely here without you.
[16:08] ---
So this is DoRed's headquarters.
[16:10] ---
Kinako, you really were a member of DoRed.
[16:13] ---
Yeah. Sorry I kept quiet about it.
[16:17] ---
So you finally want to talk to me about this?
[16:20] ---
Well, there's no turning back now.
[16:23] ---
The blueprints of the Cornucopia?
[16:25] ---
But this is different
from the one that's made public.
[16:28] ---
This is the prototype
that Ms. Kanae was researching.
[16:31] ---
It's the true guise of the KANAE System.
[16:34] ---
True guise?
What in the world is Gori Suido hiding?
[16:41] ---
I'm glad you regained consciousness.
How are you feeling?
[16:44] ---
Were you the one
who pulled me off the trolley tracks?
[16:49] ---
So you do know after all.
[16:54] ---
I got a phone call from Asumi.
[16:56] ---
Once I picked up the phone,
a Vision of the future flooded into my head—
[16:59] ---
That is an SOS from Miss Asumi.
[17:02] ---
Just as I thought. So Asumi is still alive and—
[17:04] ---
She has passed away.
[17:07] ---
But the SOS from Asumi...
[17:10] ---
The situation is a bit complicated.
I will explain in due order.
[17:16] ---
The premise that you must first know about
is the KANAE System.
[17:22] ---
It was originally developed by Lady Kanae.
[17:26] ---
I am currently the lead developer.
[17:30] ---
The development of the KANAE System
was at a standstill functionally.
[17:35] ---
The original system designed by Lady Kanae
[17:40] ---
required a human brain as the arithmetic unit.
[17:45] ---
With the reason that it was inhumane,
Lady Kanae abandoned the research.
[17:51] ---
However, Mr. Gori and I were forced
to put our future on the line for this project.
[17:56] ---
Because Mrs. Kanae...
[17:58] ---
Yes. She was not someone
who should've died in such a way.
[18:02] ---
We resumed our research, but in the end,
we could not create a viable substitute.
[18:08] ---
Something that can substitute a human brain?
[18:10] ---
Right. However, there was a turning point
in the halted research a year and a half ago.
[18:17] ---
If I said it was the Takara Elementary School fire,
would you understand?
[18:21] ---
That means...
[18:24] ---
Mr. Gori ordered me to transplant
Miss Asumi into the system core.
[18:31] ---
That means inside KANAE System is...
[18:34] ---
Miss Asumi's corpse is being utilized.
[18:41] ---
No way. You're kidding me.
[18:43] ---
That's insane.
Why would you do such a thing?
[18:47] ---
So that a tragedy will never be repeated.
[18:50] ---
Mr. Gori decided to use an inhumane system
for the sake of the 24th Ward.
[18:57] ---
But that's going too far, isn't it?
[19:00] ---
With the transplant, the KANAE System operated
smoothly as if it received an angel's blessing.
[19:07] ---
Until that day when you three
received a phone call from Miss Asumi...
[19:12] ---
That phone call...
[19:14] ---
The fact that it sought help only from Mr. Koki,
you, and Mr. Ran gave me a bad premonition.
[19:23] ---
Without a doubt,
Miss Asumi is biologically dead.
[19:27] ---
But by connecting an organic brain to a machine
and running an electrical current,
[19:31] ---
what if a conscience was recreated?
[19:34] ---
So Asumi was brought back to life
within the KANAE System?
[19:37] ---
However, until we examine the details,
we couldn't allow it to be squashed as a bug.
[19:43] ---
That is why I faked a hack
into the KANAE System.
[19:47] ---
So that's why you called yourself Carneades?
[19:50] ---
To be blunt, it was to buy time.
[19:53] ---
I had placed a mapping sensor in Cornucopia,
[19:56] ---
and observed the faint electrical currents
that enveloped the entire town.
[20:01] ---
Normally, Miss Asumi's conscience
is distributed all over the system,
[20:04] ---
so her presence cannot be perceived.
[20:06] ---
However, when particular individuals
are involved with Hazard Cast...
[20:10] ---
Only when Miss Asumi's
acquaintances were involved,
[20:13] ---
we discovered the dispersed conscience
coagulated into a single point of focus.
[20:17] ---
That means, Asumi was seeking our help
in the moments she returned to being herself?
[20:23] ---
The Visions are screams from Miss Asumi.
[20:26] ---
She became a part of the KANAE System,
and in order to prevent the worst possible future,
[20:30] ---
she continues to see nightmares
that may happen within the 24th Ward.
[20:33] ---
When she realizes that one of those futures
must become reality,
[20:36] ---
she cannot hold it within herself,
and so Miss Asumi wakes up,
[20:41] ---
and seeks help from you three
through trolley dilemmas.
[20:45] ---
She was in agony, in pain,
and was seeking us for help.
[20:51] ---
Each time she calls for help,
the KANAE System racks up more bugs.
[20:56] ---
At this rate, I was afraid that Miss Asumi's
conscience may become reckless.
[21:00] ---
Thus, I decided to put her conscience
to an eternal slumber.
[21:04] ---
If I have measured data through observation,
I can forcefully disperse her conscience
[21:09] ---
right before she wakes up from a nightmare.
[21:12] ---
Theoretically, it's possible
to create such a program.
[21:15] ---
In the end, that doesn't change the fact
that she keeps suffering from nightmares, right?
[21:21] ---
Are you going to continually
make Asumi suffer?
[21:23] ---
We have no other way.
[21:28] ---
I'm sorry.
[21:30] ---
Please laugh at me.
[21:32] ---
I know that Miss Asumi has passed away,
and it's merely a digital residue of her thoughts.
[21:37] ---
But I don't want to eradicate that existence.
[21:40] ---
I don't know how to face Lady Kanae like this.
[21:45] ---
Ms. Tsuzuragawa.
[21:47] ---
When I found out I was on the tracks
of destiny in the stormy Cornucopia,
[21:52] ---
I had already made up my mind.
[21:55] ---
I had committed that significant of a sin.
[21:58] ---
I made Miss Asumi shoulder the burden.
[22:01] ---
Death was a punishment suitable for me.
[22:06] ---
However...
[22:07] ---
I was supposed to die, but I'm still alive.
[22:12] ---
It was because you saved me.
[22:15] ---
It was because you didn't give up hope.
[22:17] ---
It was because you were a hero.
[22:20] ---
I'd always thought
that heroes were nonsense.
[22:25] ---
But from you, I feel a train of thought
similar to Lady Kanae and Miss Asumi.
[22:31] ---
The same as both of them?
[22:34] ---
Mr. Shuta, how would you save Miss Asumi?
[22:41] ---
Instructor.
[22:43] ---
If this is true, then the KANAE System...
[22:47] ---
is definitely completely and utterly broken.
[22:51] ---
Asumi, I will allow you to keep sleeping.
[22:55] ---
Not in a nightmare.
I will create a rocking crib for you.
[22:59] ---
There's no need for you to be in agony.
[23:06] ---
I'm going to save Asumi?
