[00:03] Owl Woman
All this rain lately sure is a bother.
[00:06] Owl Man
At least it's regular rain.
[00:08] Owl Man
It's been raining nothing but
mackerel at my place lately.
[00:11] Owl Man
Grilled, simmered, I'm sick of it all.
[00:14] Owl Woman
Well, fatty fish you either love or hate...
[00:25] Owl Woman
A train?
[00:26] Owl Man
Don't be stupid.
[00:28] Owl Man
The only thing still running is the Ikebus.
[00:43] Reimi
Too fast, too fast, too fast!
[00:44] Nadeshiko
Shizuru-chan, calm down!
[00:46] Shizuru
Go, go, go!
[00:51] Akira
Hold it!
[00:52] Akira
Ikebukuro Station has bay platforms!
[00:55] Reimi
Huh? What's a bay platform?!
[01:04] Shizuru
Is this Ikebukuro?!
[01:06] Reimi
I thought we were goners.
[01:08] Nadeshiko
Are you okay?
[01:09] Nadeshiko
No one hurt?
[01:10] Reimi
We did it, though!
[01:12] Reimi
We've finally arrived in Ikebukuro!
[01:14] Akira
You see, a bay platform is when
it's a dead end, like this...
[01:20] Reimi
What's up, Pochi-san?
[01:23] Leader
We have intruders!
[01:24] Leader
Eliminate them!
[01:25] Shizuru
What's this, now?
[01:27] Leader
Attack force, advance!
[01:28] Shizuru
No questions asked, huh?!
[01:35] Nadeshiko
Yoka-chan's scent?
[01:36] Shizuru
Let's go!
[01:37] Group
Yeah!
[01:38] Akira
Wait up!
SIGN Train to the End of the World
[03:12] Pochi
Are you awake?
[03:14] Pochi
Breakfast is ready.
[03:20] Yoka
Ah, yeah.
[03:24] Yoka
What's for breakfast today?
[03:26] Pochi
Dried horse mackerel, mushroom scrambled eggs,
and bitter melon miso soup.
[03:31] Yoka
Sounds good.
SIGN Episode 11 Maybe She's a Lost Cause...
[03:33] Yoka
You served bitter melon before, I think...
[03:36] Yoka
Do you like bitter melon?
[03:38] Pochi
No, I wouldn't say that.
[03:41] Pochi
Do you not like bitter melon, Yoka-sama?
[03:43] Pochi
If so, in the future...
[03:44] Yoka
I'm fine with it.
[03:46] Yoka
It just gives me a strange feeling.
[03:49] Pochi
Strange in what way?
[03:51] Yoka
I'm not so sure myself.
[03:53] Yoka
It's not like I've eaten it that often,
but it feels nostalgic in a way.
[03:57] Yoka
That's why I said it's strange.
[03:59] Pochi
I see.
[04:00] Yoka
Where'd you say this was from?
[04:04] Pochi
Well...
[04:08] Yoka
What?
[04:13] Shizuru
Found someone.
[04:14] Shizuru
Let's ask him!
[04:17] Shizuru
Excuse me.
[04:18] Shizuru
Could we have a moment of your time?
[04:20] Shizuru
We're looking for someone
named Nakatomi Yoka.
[04:26] Reimi
Whoa, he's huge.
[04:27] Akira
A kitchen smock?
[04:28] Nadeshiko
Behave, now.
[04:33] Reimi
Huh? What is it?
[04:36] Yoka
What's wrong?
[04:37] Yoka
Is it that Kontaro again?
[04:45] Shizuru
Yo...
[05:07] Yoka
How cute.
[05:09] Yoka
Is this your dog?
[05:11] Yoka
I had a dog a long time ago.
[05:13] Yoka
His name was Pochi-san.
[05:14] Yoka
What's your name?
[05:18] Reimi
Hey, this is Pochi-san!
[05:20] Reimi
How can you not tell?!
[05:22] Nadeshiko
We came from Agano to find you, Yoka-chan.
[05:25] Akira
You're Yoka-chan, aren't you?
[05:39] Yoka
Who are you people?
[05:42] Shizuru
Could it be you're still mad?
[05:47] Yoka
About what?
[05:48] Yoka
Why would I be mad?
[05:51] Shizuru
Well...
[06:08] Yoka
I suddenly feel... really terrible...
[06:12] Yoka
Like something's stabbing my chest...
[06:15] Nadeshiko
Wait, Yoka-chan.
[06:16] Nadeshiko
Do you not recognize us?
[06:18] Reimi
No way! Amnesia?
[06:20] Akira
Did she get wibble-wobble surgery,
like Zenjiro-san?
[06:23] Shizuru
Oh, no!
[06:28] Yoka
My name is Nakatomi Yoka.
[06:31] Yoka
I'm in high school, and I love astronomy.
[06:33] Yoka
I study diligently every day
here in Ikebukuro.
[06:36] Yoka
Studying is fun.
[06:38] Yoka
I like learning about new things.
[06:40] Yoka
It broadens my perspective.
[06:42] Yoka
And my dream when I grow up...
[06:46] Yoka
My dream... when I grow up...
[06:49] Shizuru
Yok—
[06:53] Nadeshiko
Shizuru-chan!
[06:55] Reimi
Yoka-chan?
[07:00] Pochi
Yoka-sama.
[07:01] Pochi
Please control yourself.
[07:03] Yoka
My name is Nakatomi Yoka...
[07:05] Shizuru
Listen to me, Yoka!
[07:06] Shizuru
You see—
[07:08] Vigilante
Found them.
[07:11] Pontaro
I didn't think you'd find her so soon.
[07:13] Pontaro
Annoying vermin, out to harm the princess!
[07:16] Pontaro
Such impudence, before our
very own Yoka-hime!
[07:18] Pontaro
You're a real pack of scoundrels!
[07:20] Pontaro
That is to say, enemies!
[07:22] Pontaro
Take them down!
[07:23] Pontaro
In other words, pulverize them!
[07:25] Akira
Hey, they mean business!
[07:26] Akira
We'll die!
[07:28] Shizuru
Yoka!
[07:28] Shizuru
Wait, Yoka!
[07:30] Reimi
Shizuru-chan, not now!
[07:31] Nadeshiko
Everyone, this way!
[07:32] Akira
We can't afford to die here!
[07:37] Pontaro
Are you injured, Princess?
[07:39] Yoka
Not really.
[07:44] Pontaro
Why would you keep something
so important here?!
[07:47] Pontaro
You birdbrain!
[07:48] Pontaro
What's the meaning of this?
[07:50] Pontaro
It's them...
[07:51] Pontaro
It must be!
[07:52] Pontaro
They're the reason why the princess is...
[07:53] Pontaro
Capture those girls!
[07:55] Pontaro
Make sure they don't escape!
[07:59] Reimi
Okay, let's go!
[08:00] Reimi
Get moving!
[08:01] Akira
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
[08:07] Pontaro
Why'd you let them get away?!
[08:09] Pontaro
I'll tell the princess to turn
all of you into tokoroten!
[08:13] Pontaro
Not good, not good.
[08:15] Pontaro
Looking at the button and her reaction,
it's best to separate the two.
[08:19] Pontaro
And here I thought I was being cautious.
[08:21] Pontaro
I was a fool, damn it!
[08:26] Pochi
You called?
[08:28] Pontaro
What kind of question is that?
[08:30] Pontaro
You big lunk.
[08:31] Pontaro
We're moving the princess
to another location.
[08:34] Pochi
Why?
[08:34] Pontaro
Because those girls who
got away, thanks to you,
[08:36] Pontaro
might come back and steal her away!
[08:38] Pontaro
Isn't it obvious?!
[08:40] Pochi
She may not agree to that.
[08:43] Pochi
She's quite fond of that apartment.
[08:46] Pontaro
Who cares how fond or attached she is to it?!
[08:49] Pontaro
What, you think you can protect the princess?!
[08:51] Pochi
Of course.
[08:52] Pontaro
If they touch a single hair on
her head, you'll pay the price!
[08:56] Pontaro
Hey!
[08:57] Pontaro
Get me a hand trolley!
[08:58] Pontaro
And some security guards!
[09:02] Reimi
You think maybe that wasn't Yoka-chan?
[09:05] Akira
Huh?
[09:06] Reimi
I mean, something's up.
[09:07] Reimi
That Yoka-chan was weird.
[09:09] Reimi
She didn't even know who we were.
[09:12] Nadeshiko
Something was weird about her, but...
[09:15] Shizuru
I'm pretty sure that was the real Yoka.
[09:18] Nadeshiko
I agree.
[09:19] Nadeshiko
Pochi-san thought it was her, too.
[09:22] Akira
It's gotta be Yoka-chan.
[09:24] Reimi
So was she just seriously angry, then?
[09:27] Reimi
Is she ghosting us?
[09:28] Akira
Ghosting us?
[09:30] Shizuru
Maybe.
[09:31] Shizuru
If I was in her shoes, I probably would.
[09:36] Reimi
Huh? What?
[09:38] Akira
This is Morse. Morse code!
[09:41] Akira
It's Zenjiro-san and Makoto-sensei!
[09:43] Reimi
Why are they using bitter melon?
[09:45] Akira
The roots and vines might have grown
to connect all the way to Agano.
[09:49] Reimi
What?
[09:50] Reimi
From here to Agano?
[09:54] Reimi
Bitter melon's unstoppable!
[09:55] Nadeshiko
So what's Makoto-sensei saying?
[09:57] Akira
"Slice up a bitter melon."
[09:59] Reimi
Huh?
[10:00] Nadeshiko
Shizuru-chan, knife.
[10:04] Makoto
Test, test.
[10:07] Akira
What?
[10:08] Shizuru
The bitter melon is talking
with Makoto-sensei's voice!
[10:10] Akira
Are we even speaking the
same language anymore?
[10:14] Makoto
Not so loud! I can hear you!
[10:17] Reimi
Makoto-sensei!
[10:19] Reimi
Hey! Can you see me?
[10:21] Makoto
No. This is a voice-only line.
[10:24] Reimi
Too bad.
[10:25] Zenjiro
We figured out how to turn
the world back to normal.
[10:27] Reimi
Huh? Who's that?
[10:28] Akira
That's Zenjiro-san!
[10:30] Nadeshiko
You figured it out?
[10:31] Makoto
We haven't found proof,
but it's a fairly credible hypothesis.
[10:35] Zenjiro
The 7G launch should have begun
with a switch—a button.
[10:39] Zenjiro
And that button has been
pressed on this whole time.
[10:42] Makoto
Which means if we push it
once more to turn it off...
[10:45] Nadeshiko
If we push it?
[10:46] Makoto
It should cut off the 7G network.
[10:48] Makoto
The effects of its signal should disappear.
[10:51] Makoto
In other words, we might
go back to how things were.
[10:54] Akira
That's all?
[10:55] Reimi
No way!
[10:56] Reimi
That's too easy!
[10:58] Makoto
Precisely why we had overlooked it.
[11:00] Makoto
We had our hands full dealing
with each individual phenomenon,
[11:03] Makoto
leaving us with no time to identify
the fundamental cause behind it all.
[11:06] Nadeshiko
I suppose that's true.
[11:07] Akira
Where's that button, then?
[11:09] Zenjiro
We don't know.
[11:11] Zenjiro
That said, if I were Pontaro,
[11:13] Zenjiro
I'd hide it and implement
strict security measures.
[11:16] Makoto
In a battle between those
preserving the new status quo
[11:19] Makoto
and those trying to return to the old ways,
[11:21] Makoto
the winner is decided by
whoever has that button.
[11:24] Makoto
We'll contact you again
once we have more information.
[11:27] Makoto
Make sure you eat the bitter melon
you used for this call.
[11:30] Group
Yes.
[11:31] Zenjiro
Don't let that food go to wast—
choo choo-choo choo...
[11:35] Reimi
Huh? He's back to the usual Zenjiro-san.
[11:37] Makoto
I've been able to extend his time in anti-
choo-choo mode to 5 minutes and 38 seconds.
[11:42] Reimi
That's incredible!
[11:44] Makoto
No, I'm still far off from
complete anti-choo-choo.
[11:47] Akira
If you keep on extending it,
will he go back to normal?
[11:49] Makoto
My calculations say it'll take 94 years.
[11:53] Akira
I see.
[11:55] Akira
We need to think about this.
[11:56] Reimi
Any way you look at it, Zenjiro-san's
not gonna be around in 94 years, is he?
[12:00] Akira
Not about that.
[12:01] Nadeshiko
You mean the button?
[12:03] Akira
Basically, there exists something
along the lines of the nuclear football.
[12:07] Reimi
Huh? What's that?
[12:08] Akira
A device that allows the president
to launch nuclear weapons.
[12:11] Akira
His security detail carries it at all times.
[12:13] Reimi
Isn't that risky?
[12:15] Reimi
What if someone steals it from them?
[12:17] Akira
There are loads of books and
movies about exactly that,
[12:19] Akira
but it's never happened in real life.
[12:21] Nadeshiko
Hey...
[12:22] Nadeshiko
Do you think that button is why
Yoka-chan was acting so distant?
[12:26] Reimi
What do you mean?
[12:27] Nadeshiko
If the world changed
with the push of a button,
[12:29] Nadeshiko
then maybe if we press it again
and turn it off,
[12:31] Nadeshiko
both the world and Yoka-chan
will go back to normal.
[12:33] Reimi
Oh, I get it now!
[12:35] Reimi
So that's why she was being so nasty!
[12:37] Akira
Hold on.
[12:38] Akira
Is that really it?
[12:39] Reimi
Well, that's the only explanation!
[12:42] Akira
How simple of you.
[12:43] Akira
People change.
[12:44] Reimi
But it's worth a shot.
[12:45] Shizuru
I want to find that button.
[12:48] Shizuru
If it really is worth a shot,
I'm going to go for it.
[12:50] Reimi
Sounds good! I'm all for it!
[12:52] Akira
What if...
[12:53] Reimi
There goes Akira with
her ifs, ands, or buts!
[12:55] Akira
Hear me out!
[12:56] Akira
It's all well and good to try and find
the button, but where do we even look?
[12:59] Akira
We have two missions here:
locating it, and taking it for ourselves.
[13:08] Reimi
Huh?
[13:09] Reimi
The zombies?
[13:13] Reimi
It's Kurokin!
[13:15] Reimi
But how?
[13:17] Kuroki
It's been a while.
[13:19] Kuroki
After you left, the climate changed
drastically near Hoya Station.
[13:23] Kuroki
If left there, the zombies
would have grown rotten and moldy
[13:26] Kuroki
or dried up and crumbled away.
[13:29] Reimi
Zombies are pretty dainty, huh?
[13:31] Reimi
Who knew?
[13:31] Shizuru
And so you want to team up with us?
[13:34] Kuroki
Our power comes from our numbers.
[13:36] Kuroki
And you have brains? I guess?
[13:39] Akira
Why do you sound so unsure?
[13:40] Nadeshiko
We just heard from Makoto-sensei,
the brains on our team,
[13:43] Nadeshiko
and the answer to our problems may lie
in finding the button to stop 7G.
[13:47] Reimi
The brains on our team? Huh?
[13:49] Akira
That makes you the dumb muscle.
[13:51] Kuroki
Where do we find that button?
[13:53] Nadeshiko
We don't know.
[13:54] Nadeshiko
But it's powerful enough to have turned
the entire world into what it is now.
[13:57] Nadeshiko
So it should be pretty big.
[13:59] Reimi
Oh, like a sake barrel?
[14:01] Kuroki
A sake barrel?
[14:03] Shizuru
What's up?
[14:03] Kuroki
Well...
[14:04] Kuroki
When we were passing by
the department store...
[14:09] Kuroki
Huh? What's wrong?!
[14:18] Kuroki
The zombies showed interest in something
other than brains and cauliflower.
[14:22] Kuroki
Zombies want to go back to being human.
[14:25] Kuroki
Perhaps they were reacting to the
button that has that potential.
[14:31] Kuroki
There's a good chance that
what I saw was that button.
[14:34] Akira
Huh... But there's also a chance it wasn't.
[14:36] Reimi
That department store, huh?
[14:38] Reimi
I've never been.
[14:39] Akira
Huh?
[14:40] Reimi
What was it? "Life should be trendy"?
[14:42] Reimi
And "Fall in love with yourself"?
[14:43] Reimi
I've wanted to go ever since I saw
those ad slogans a long time ago.
[14:46] Akira
What, you're dying to go?
[14:47] Reimi
We came all this way to Ikebukuro!
[14:49] Reimi
What's wrong with taking a look?
[14:51] Akira
You just want to check out
the department store!
[14:53] Akira
To go shopping!
[14:54] Reimi
Just on the side!
[14:56] Reimi
I'll look for that button, too!
[14:57] Akira
You big, fat liar!
[14:58] Nadeshiko
I wouldn't put it past Pontaro to hide it.
[15:01] Nadeshiko
He was acting real high-and-mighty.
[15:03] Kuroki
Poison Pontaro?
[15:04] Kuroki
I've heard nothing but
sketchy rumors about him.
[15:06] Shizuru
Zenjiro-san called him a poopy dunghead, too.
[15:09] Shizuru
Said he thinks about nothing but himself.
[15:12] Nadeshiko
He's involved with 7G, isn't he?
[15:15] Nadeshiko
But he's not trying to fix it.
He's lording over everyone instead.
[15:18] Akira
Well, who'd want to be held responsible
for creating this huge mess?
[15:22] Reimi
How awful can you be, not taking
responsibility for what you did?!
[15:26] Kuroki
I see, like a zombie. In a bad sense.
[15:28] Shizuru
What?
[15:29] Kuroki
Short-sighted, only worried
about yourself in the present.
[15:32] Kuroki
No remorse, no thinking ahead.
[15:34] Kuroki
What's wrong?
[15:36] Shizuru
It's not... entirely nothing.
[15:39] Nadeshiko
Should we go to the department store?
[15:40] Reimi
I'm down!
[15:41] Akira
What about Yoka-chan?
[15:43] Shizuru
Maybe she's a lost cause...
[15:44] Group
What?!
[15:45] Reimi
A lost cause how?!
[15:47] Shizuru
She did ghost us...
[15:48] Reimi
There you go again!
[15:50] Nadeshiko
Listen, Shizuru-chan.
[15:51] Nadeshiko
Now's really not the time for this.
[15:53] Akira
You're scaring me, Nadeko-chan.
[15:55] Nadeshiko
I want to go see Yoka-chan.
[15:57] Nadeshiko
Even if you don't, I will!
[15:59] Reimi
I want to see her, too!
[16:00] Akira
Weren't you going shopping?
[16:02] Reimi
Nuh-uh!
[16:02] Nadeshiko
Are you listening, Shizuru-chan?
[16:04] Shizuru
Does it matter if I am?
[16:05] Nadeshiko
You're going to talk to her,
whether you want to or not.
[16:08] Shizuru
What?!
[16:09] Group
What?!
[16:19] Akira
We'll have to search every nook
and cranny of this place!
[16:21] Reimi
Why do you sound so smug?
[16:23] Akira
I never thought I'd get to say
"search every nook and cranny" in real life.
[16:26] Reimi
Ah.
[16:27] Reimi
Like, "You homewrecker!"
[16:28] Reimi
Or, "Consider it a parting gift."
[16:30] Kuroki
I've always wanted to say,
"What are you, blind?"
[16:33] Reimi
That's what I'm talking about, Kurokin!
[16:35] Akira
There's plenty of phrases you
never get a chance to say.
[16:38] Shizuru
Phrases you didn't get a chance to say...
[16:41] Nadeshiko
You need to tell her, Shizuru-chan.
[16:44] Shizuru
Yeah.
[16:53] Reimi
What?
[16:53] Akira
Maybe they found it!
[17:00] Kuroki
Put these away! Hurry!
[17:02] Employee A
Can I help you find something?
[17:04] Employee A
That's one of our top sellers.
[17:06] Employee A
It'd look great on you.
[17:07] Akira
Ugh, I can't stand it!
[17:08] Akira
That insistent smile!
[17:10] Reimi
There's so many!
[17:11] Kuroki
They'll chase you down if you run. There's only one way out of this!
[17:15] Kuroki
I'm just looking!
[17:21] Painting
World-renowned artists!
[17:22] Painting
Pay in easy installments!
[17:23] Painting
Painted by a living treasure...
[17:24] Painting
A once-in-a-lifetime chance!
[17:26] Akira
Outta my way!
[17:27] Group
You can pay for the damage, right?
[17:29] Shizuru
No way in hell we're paying!
[17:32] Shizuru
Don't try to sucker us into forking over our cash!
[17:37] Reimi
The zombies are reacting to something!
[17:39] Kuroki
Is it the button?!
[17:40] Pontaro
What was that?!
[17:41] Pontaro
A suspicious group in the department store?
[17:43] Leader
The vigilance committee
is headed there as we speak.
[17:46] Pontaro
They're really after the button, huh?
[17:48] Pontaro
Wait, how'd they know where it was?
[17:51] Pontaro
Do we have a traitor?
[17:53] Pontaro
By which I mean, an intelligence leak?
[17:55] Leader
That's unthinkable!
[17:57] Pontaro
How about this, then?
[18:01] Pontaro
You understand, don't you?
[18:03] Pontaro
What's your job?
[18:05] Pochi
To protect Yoka-sama.
[18:09] Pontaro
In which case, do away with those brats
[18:11] Pontaro
and dump their bodies
all the way out past Zoshigaya!
[18:13] Pontaro
And protect that button!
[18:15] Pontaro
If they get ahold of that button,
this world won't stay the same!
[18:18] Pontaro
The masses will start violent riots
and lose all control.
[18:21] Pontaro
If that happens, your precious
little Yoka-sama won't be safe.
[18:26] Pontaro
Protecting the princess and the
button are essentially the same!
[18:29] Pontaro
They're equal!
[18:30] Pontaro
Don't let it fall into their hands!
[18:43] Shizuru
There's something in the pond!
[18:45] Reimi
The button!
[18:46] Akira
Why are they reacting to the button?
[18:48] Kuroki
They're a product of the changes caused by 7G.
[18:50] Kuroki
Maybe they're responding to its energy
or longing for the world we used to live in.
[18:54] Kuroki
Either way, they can sense it.
[18:56] Nadeshiko
We just need to push the button, right?
[18:58] Shizuru
Yeah.
[18:59] Leader
There they are!
[19:00] Reimi
Not again!
[19:01] Shizuru
I'll take care of these guys,
[19:02] Shizuru
so you go get that button!
[19:03] Nadeshiko
I'll help you out!
[19:04] Kuroki
Our job is to grab the button!
[19:14] Akira
Zombies can't go in water!
They'll get waterlogged!
[19:25] Shizuru
Who are you?
[19:26] Pochi
My name is Pochi.
[19:27] Shizuru
Pochi?
[19:29] Shizuru
You're not Pochi...
[19:34] Shizuru
How?!
[19:35] Pochi
I feel the same way.
[19:37] Shizuru
What?!
[19:38] Pochi
I'll protect Yoka-sama.
[19:52] Shizuru
Does Yoka...
[19:53] Shizuru
Does Yoka like things the way they are now?!
[19:56] Pochi
She devotes herself to studying every day.
[19:58] Reimi
Still!
[19:59] Reimi
People call her a witch and stuff!
[20:01] Pochi
That is not something Yoka-sama
has to answer for.
[20:10] Pochi
It doesn't matter what anyone says about her.
[20:13] Pochi
Yoka-sama is perfectly fine the way she is.
[20:24] Nadeshiko
Reimi-chan! Shizuru-chan!
[20:29] Akira
We got the button!
[20:31] Nadeshiko
Press it!
[20:32] Shizuru
Hurry!
[20:48] Akira
Did 7G stop?
[20:57] Kuroki
It's no use!
[20:58] Akira
But why?!
[21:00] Shizuru
No way!
[21:04] Kuroki
Zombie 35! 72!
[21:06] Kuroki
Get away!
[21:06] Kuroki
You're in danger!
[21:11] Nadeshiko
Shizuru-chan!
[21:13] Nadeshiko
Don't, Pochi-san!
[21:16] Pochi
Pochi-san...
[21:17] Pochi
I can't fight you.
[21:45] Reimi
What?
[21:50] Reimi
Yoka-chan!
[21:52] Reimi
She's on board!
[21:55] Pontaro
You damn fools.
[21:56] Pontaro
Ikebukuro is safe and sound.
[21:59] Pontaro
As long as it has its princess, that is.
