[00:01] Sasama
    I want you to demonstrate
    your loyalty to NIN.
[00:05] Sasama
    Crawl between the Rainbow Hound's legs, Kato.
[00:16] Sasama
    What's wrong, Kato?
[00:18] Sasama
    Too proud to crawl under there?
[00:22] Sasama
    Or is it that you refuse to
    swear fealty to Tara? To NIN?
[00:44] Sasama
    What do you think, Kato?
[00:45] Sasama
    What's the view like from between
    the Rainbow Hound's legs?
[00:56] Kato
    Despite how old and faded they've become,
    the seven leaders still cling to power.
[01:02] Kato
    NIN might be done for.
[01:10] Suzuki
    Huh? They're gone.
[01:14] Suzuki
    I guess we don't have to fight.
[01:17] Suzuki
    Now I have to go to school after all.
[01:20] Onikobe
    Chief Ninja Kato's vitals are still active.
[01:23] Onikobe
    He's alive.
[01:26] Noguchi
    When I wake up, it'll be Monday.
[01:29] Noguchi
    I really don't wanna go to school...

    Rocket launched with

SIGN    Episode 8: "Every Last Ninja on the Surface Will Be Annihilated"
[03:10] News Announcer
    NASA has said the satellite scheduled
    to be aboard the rocket
[03:14] News Announcer
    that was recently launched was,
    due to an error, not loaded.
[03:17] News Announcer
    According to workers involved with
    the launch, the one in charge of...
[03:18] Noguchi Dad
    What the heck?!
[03:22] Noguchi
    I saw something!
    There was something there!
[03:24] Noguchi
    Eyes! Floating eyes! Above my bed!
[03:27] Nocuchi Dad
    Eyes? You sure it wasn't Mii-chan?
[03:30] Noguchi
    You know how she likes to sleep on your chest,
    on account of it not being too bumpy.
[03:36] Noguchi
    First off, rude!
[03:37] Noguchi
    And Mii-chan is right there!
[03:40] Dad
    Hey, she is. And she's so cute!
[03:44] Noguchi
    Mom, is this house haunted or something?!
[03:47] Noguchi Mom
    Don't be rude. Your father begged
    the bank to give us a 40-year loan
[03:51] Noguchi Mom
    instead of a 30-year one to pay
    for this house, you know.
[03:55] Nocuchi Dad
    That's right.
[03:56] Nocuchi Dad
    I'm probably gonna die before it's paid off,
    too, so good luck with that.
[04:00] Noguchi
    No way! Quit trying to stick
    me with a bunch of debt!
[04:06] Noguchi
    Talking to those two is exhausting...
[04:12] Noguchi
    Well, I don't think anyone's here.
[04:19] Noguchi
    Man, what was that all about?
[04:28] Noguchi
    Better get some sleep.
[04:40] Noguchi
    It happened again! It happened again!
[04:42] Kuro
    Would you knock it off with the screaming?
[04:44] Kuro
    It's just me. Kuro.
[04:46] Kuro
    No perverts here.
[04:48] Noguchi
    Kuro-kun?
[04:50] Noguchi
    What are you doing in my house?!
[04:53] Kuro
    Am I not allowed to just come in?
[04:55] Noguchi
    Obviously not!
[04:57] Noguchi
    How'd you even get in?!
[05:00] Kuro
    The window.
[05:01] Noguchi
    "The window," my ass!
[05:03] Noguchi
    You can't just break in! If the school
    found out, you could get expelled!
[05:07] Kuro
    It's fine. The school's gonna be gone soon.
[05:12] Kuro
    Don't come to school tomorrow, Noguchi.
[05:17] Kuro
    See ya.
[05:21] Kuro
    That's all. I'm going now.
[05:23] Noguchi
    That's all? You're not gonna do anything?
[05:31] Noguchi
    Hey, wait!
[05:34] Noguchi
    What's this stuff about the school being gone?
[05:37] Kuro
    Blown up, probably?
[05:39] Noguchi
    What the hell?
[05:40] Noguchi
    Do you wanna come in
    for a drink or something?
[05:43] Kuro
    Nah, I'm tired. Bye.
[05:47] Noguchi
    Seriously?! You take a huge risk
    like this and just waltz off?!
[05:53] Noguchi
    He really did leave.
[05:55] Noguchi
    What is that guy's deal?
[06:02] Yoshida
    A bunch of rejections and rewrites again.
[06:06] Yoshida
    Does Editor Suzuki hate me or something?
[06:10] Yoshida
    My name is Yoshida Akikazu.
[06:13] Yoshida
    I'm a historical novelist.
[06:15] Yoshida
    In the two decades and change since
    becoming a writer, I've had no success,
[06:19] Yoshida
    so now I write speculative fiction.
[06:21] Yoshida
    Alternate history sci-fi stories, in other
    words, in order to make ends meet.
[06:27] Yoshida
    I guess I'll go to bed for tonight.
[06:35] Yoshida
    I really hope someone shows up tonight.
[06:39] Yoshida
    I make a habit of unlocking
    my doors and windows,
[06:44] Yoshida
    and putting an eye mask on,
    before going to bed.
[06:46] Yoshida
    The reason dates back to over ten years ago,
    when I'd just fallen asleep one night...
[06:51] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    Wake up.
[06:53] Yoshida
    I've kept up the habit ever since I woke
    up to a ninja sitting next to my pillow.
[07:06] Yoshida
    He had the kind of bottomless lung capacity
    you'd expect from a practiced throat-singer.
[07:11] Yoshida
    That was what convinced me he was a ninja.
[07:16] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    Close your eyes.
[07:20] (Flashback) Yoshida
    I'm closing them! They're closed!
[07:24] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    December 18, 1996...
[07:28] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    Fifteen terrorists holed up in a Japanese
    embassy, taking 100 hostages,
[07:33] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    including embassy staff and employees
    of various Japanese businesses.
[07:39] Yoshida
    Is he talking about the Japanese
    embassy hostage crisis in Peron?
[07:44] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    The entire time, the Japanese government put
    an emphasis on the safety of the hostages,
[07:49] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    and pressured the Republic to
    take a safety-first approach.
[07:52] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    Four months later, on April 23, 1997, at dawn...
[08:00] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    A special forces unit from the
    Republic of Peron began their raid.
[08:04] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    One hostage, two of the team's operators,
    and all fifteen terrorists were killed.
[08:10] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    That's what the public knows of the incident.
[08:14] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    But an hour before that operation began,
[08:17] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    a team of seven ninja, including myself,
[08:19] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    infiltrated the residence through a
    different underground access point.
[08:21] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    We were able to disarm the
    terrorists without killing them.
[08:25] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    And right when the Republic government was
    being informed of this bloodless solution...
[08:28] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    The raid began.
[08:32] Yoshida
    Why?
[08:33] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    You're wondering why?
[08:35] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    Because the Republic's administration...
    or rather, its president at the time,
[08:40] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    had planned a political assassination
    on one of the hostages.
[08:45] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    The seven of us ended up having to
    fight 200 special forces operators.
[08:50] Yoshida
    Two hundred versus seven?!
    What an incredible disadvantage!
[08:54] Yoshida
    What happened to the ninja?!
    I just have to know!
[08:58] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    No one in Japan knows the truth
    about what happened...
[09:02] (Flashback) Ninja 1
    About the five comrades I lost on that day.
[09:06] Yoshida
    And after he said that,
    the blade across my neck was gone.
[09:11] Yoshida
    I had to wonder if he told me, a writer,
    because he wanted the world to know.
[09:19] Yoshida
    At the time, I was barely
    eking out an existence,
[09:22] Yoshida
    with both my water and gas turned off.
[09:25] Yoshida
    I took the risk of turning the story
    I had been told into a book,
[09:28] Yoshida
    which found a publisher.
[09:30] Yoshida
    The Seven Ninja Liberate the Japanese Embassy
    sold decently enough,
[09:35] Yoshida
    but readers thought it was speculative
    fiction, and no one took it seriously.
[09:41] Yoshida
    But I believe that it found
    an audience with ninja...
[09:46] (Flashback) Ninja 2
    There are people who know
    that the February 26th incident
[09:48] (Flashback) Ninja 2
    was rooted in something that
    happened on February 22nd,
[09:53] (Flashback) Ninja 2
    but you've probably never heard about
    the Nin-Nin-Ni-Ni-Nin Incident,
[09:56] (Flashback) Ninja 2
    which took place on February 22nd
    of the 22nd year of Heisei, have you?
[10:02] (Flashback) Ninja 3
    The Japanese Paleolithic hoax, right?
[10:05] (Flashback) Ninja 3
    It all started when I was excavating
    some ore to use for ninjutsu...
[10:11] (Flashback) Ninja 4
    You remember those Air Max hunters?
[10:13] (Flashback) Ninja 4
    Well, we're the reason you don't
    hear about them anymore.
[10:17] Yoshida
    And so, in that fashion, these ninja
    would visit me from time to time
[10:20] Yoshida
    to share their exploits, which would
    otherwise be kept to the shadows of history.
[10:25] (Flashback) Sasama
    The hot springs scandal...
[10:28] (Flashback) Sasama
    I was actually the first one to suspect
    something was up with the water quality,
[10:32] (Flashback) Sasama
    and send it in for appraisal.
[10:34] Yoshida
    What is that sound?
[10:36] (Flashback) Yoshida
    And how did you know?
[10:38] (Flashback) Sasama
    I was soaking after a certain mission,
[10:41] (Flashback) Sasama
    and I could tell that the healing
    effects were slower than usual.
[10:46] (Flashback) Hibi
    Ninja High got hit with lightning,
    and what happened to me was frightening!
[10:50] Yoshida
    Is he... rapping?
[10:52] (Flashback) Hibi
    Duel to the death with a homie to graduate,
[10:54] (Flashback) Hibi
    we coulda both died, it woulda been fate.
[10:57] (Flashback) Hibi
    That's what I thought, but then
    he lured me to the perfect spot...
[11:02] (Flashback) Hibi
    I get a bolt to the dome without a fight,
    he gets to finish school and see the light!
[11:08] (Flashback) Hibi
    I get fried, only now here
    after I almost died.
[11:11] (Flashback) Hibi
    Dude gets to complete his graduation arc...
[11:14] (Flashback) Hibi
    I get left to dwell in the dark.
[11:17] (Flashback) Hibi
    Been reborn, so call me in a new way,
[11:20] (Flashback) Hibi
    Miracle Lichtenberg Everyday!
[11:23] (Flashback) Hibi
    Born in Tokyo, from the 2-2,
[11:26] (Flashback) Hibi
    and if you see someone creeping,
    you can bet they a ninja!
[11:32] Yoshida
    I don't think I'll use this one.
[11:36] Yoshida
    It was some ten years after ninja had
    begun telling me about themselves...
[11:43] (Flashback) Yamada
    Wake up.
[11:46] Yoshida
    This ninja was different.
[11:49] (Flashback) Yamada
    Are you the one writing down
    the idle chatter of these shinobi?
[11:54] Yoshida
    "These shinobi"? Is she not one?
[11:58] Yoshida
    The atmosphere was tense.
[12:00] Yoshida
    I was far more frightened than when
    someone had put a blade to my neck,
[12:04] Yoshida
    and my body froze up like
    I had sleep paralysis.
[12:08] (Flashback) Yamada
    Every last ninja on the surface
    will be annihilated.
[12:13] Yoshida
    She's going to wipe out those ninja?! Why?
[12:17] Yoshida
    I thought I'd braced myself to die for asking
    that question, but it didn't come out.
[12:22] Yoshida
    So many ninja had told me about the past,
[12:25] Yoshida
    but this woman was the only one
    who spoke of the future.
[13:00] Nekohira
    Hey. Wake up! I'm hungry!
[13:05] Nekohira
    Man, these boobs are downright criminal.
[13:07] Nekohira
    Look at them jiggle!
[13:11] Kawado
    Come on, sir, that costs extra!
[13:14] Nekohira
    Wait... NIN's ninja lab
    transplanted my brain into a cat.
[13:22] Nekohira
    It looks like my human memories are back.
[13:27] Nekohira
    And... the one who delivered a
    fatal blow to my human body...
[13:34] Nekohira
    was someone from the Kumogakure clan.
[13:41] Nekohira
    I don't think this is the guy who
    did me in, but he's still an enemy.
[13:46] Nekohira
    And I might not be able to
    kill him myself anymore...
[13:51] Nekohira
    but Saruta will avenge me.
[13:56] Kuro
    I don't think so.
[13:59] Nekohira
    He read my mind?!
[14:02] Kuro
    Look, I have an idea what happened to you,
[14:07] Kuro
    but I don't think you're
    gonna be killing me.
[14:10] Kuro
    You should be glad.
    Life as a cat has gotta be carefree.
[14:14] Nekohira
    Oh, this asshole!
[14:17] Nekohira
    Crap, here it comes.
[14:19] Nekohira
    My head's getting hazy...
[14:36] Kuro
    I'm counting on you.
[14:40] Ono
    Hey, Kuro-kun. Good morning.
[14:42] Kuro
    Ono-san. Off to get laid
    first thing in the morning?
[14:46] Kuro
    You keep those working girls busy.
[14:47] Ono
    No! I'm going to my job! Where I work!
[14:51] Ono
    A fight with Yankii High, huh?
[14:54] Ono
    Well, back in my day, those kinda inter-school
    beefs were just the daily routine.
[14:58] Ono
    Got into a few scraps myself.
[15:02] Kuro
    You don't have to lie.
[15:04] Kuro
    Doesn't making up past glory
    like that embarrass you?
[15:08] Ono
    Uh, it's not made up!
[15:11] Kuro
    No, I'm pretty sure it is.
[15:12] Ono
    What makes you so sure?!
[15:14] Ono
    I'm telling you, it happened!
[15:16] Ono
    I'll show you my school album tonight!
    Come by my room!
[15:20] Kuro
    I guess delusions can get so vivid it becomes
    hard to even realize they're false, huh?
[15:24] Ono
    Why are you so damn certain I'm lying?!
[15:28] Ono
    Don't forget to drop by!
[15:30] Kuro
    Sure. If I'm alive.
[15:41] Ono
    No bag, and barefoot...
[15:44] Ono
    It's almost refreshing how
    brazen you are, Kuro-kun.
[15:56] Hibi
    Hey, Kuro. I think this is the
    first time you've ever called me.
[16:00] Kuro
    There's going to be an attack
    on Kodan High School today,
[16:03] Kuro
    but we'll leave that to a separate unit.
[16:05] Hibi
    Which means...
[16:07] Kuro
    We're hitting the real target.
[16:09] Kuro
    Are you ready, Hibi?
[16:18] Hibi
    I guess shuddering in anticipation
    really is a thing, Kuro!
[16:24] Eita
    Oh, damn.
[16:27] Eita
    I'm hanging out with the hottest
    girl in school, Yamada-san!
[16:35] Yoshida
    Suzuki-san's coming to pick up
    the manuscript today...
[16:43] Yoshida
    This sensation... It's the same!
[16:50] Yoshida
    It was her!
[16:52] Yamada
    Oh, Kiryu-kun? It's been so long!
[16:55] Yamada
    Where are you?
[16:57] Yamada
    Space?!
[16:59] Yamada
    That's so cool!
[17:00] Eita
    Kiryu is the most popular
    guy at school, right?
[17:04] Eita
    I guess it makes sense the hottest girl
    would have that kinda social circle.
[17:09] Yamada
    Sure, I'll pass it on.
[17:11] Yamada
    See ya! Hope you have fun.
[17:15] Eita
    Say, Yamada-san... I haven't seen
    Kiryu-kun around since he quit the club.
[17:23] Yamada
    He quit school, I think.
[17:24] Yamada
    Considering he's in space.
[17:26] Yamada
    Seems he wanted to play
    with Kuro-kun, though.
[17:29] Eita
    Space?
[17:31] Eita
    What the hell is she talking about?
[17:36] Eita
    Y'know, I have no idea
    what Kuro-kun is thinking.
[17:39] Eita
    Picking a fight with Yankii High...
[17:41] Eita
    They're so dumb, I hear they dig
    to look up their test scores.
[17:45] Eita
    You might not know about this
    since you're a transfer student,
[17:48] Eita
    but there's a rumor that 70% of the crime
    in Nerima stems from Yankii High.
[17:54] Yankee 1
    Hey!
[17:56] Eita
    Yeah?
[17:58] Yankee 1
    Dude, you've been talking crap
    about our school this whole time.
[18:02] Yankee 2
    Granted, it's all true.
[18:04] Yankee 2
    How about you come with us?
[18:05] Yankee 1
    I mean, we're not exactly in love
    with our alma mater, but...
[18:09] Yankee 1
    Hearing all those blatant insults
    is still annoying, y'know?
[18:14] Yankee 2
    What's an alma mater again?
[18:16] Yankee 1
    Google it, man!
[18:17] Eita
    Um, I'll apologize, so please let me go...
[18:21] Yankee 1
    If apologies were worth anything,
    there'd never be any war, my man.
[18:25] Yankee 1
    Just crack open a history book.
[18:28] Yankee 1
    And if you're admitting you were wrong,
[18:30] Yankee 1
    I'd say compensation comes
    with an apology, y'know?
[18:33] Yamada
    Huh? Eita-kun? What's wrong?
[18:38] Yankee 2
    She's hot!
[18:40] Yankee 1
    This guy was spouting nonsense about
    our school that may or may not be true,
[18:43] Yankee 1
    and ruining its rep.
[18:45] Eita
    Look, I apologized...
[18:47] Yamada
    Eita-kun tends to get a big
    head when he's around me.
[18:51] Yamada
    I'm sorry! Would you forgive him?
[18:54] Yankee 1
    Wait, what? Are you two going out?
[18:57] Yankee 2
    There's no way...
[18:59] Yamada
    I mean, it's embarrassing to hear
    someone come out and ask, but...
[19:04] Yamada
    I think it's fair to say
    we are, right, Eita-kun?
[19:11] Yankee 1
    With a twerp like this? What the hell?
[19:14] Yankee 2
    I shoulda gone to a co-ed school...
[19:18] Yankee 1
    Well, if he's your boyfriend, I'd say
    that calls for collective responsibility!
[19:22] Yankee 1
    How about you show us your
    panties to make up for it?
[19:25] Eita
    What? How does that make sense?
[19:31] Yamada
    Well, if you'll let my trashy
    Eita-kun off the hook...
[19:37] Yamada
    Okay.
[19:39] Yankee 2
    It's okay?!
[19:40] Yankee 1
    Glad I asked, damn.
[19:41] Eita
    Is it, though?!
[19:43] Eita
    And she called me trash...
[19:54] Yamada
    You won't be able to see
    unless you get closer.
[20:11] Eita
    Ow!
[20:29] Yankee 1
    P-Please don't hurt us anymore!
[20:32] Yamada
    Kumogakure Kuro-kun and
    Hibi Miracle-kun and Eita-kun here,
[20:38] Yamada
    and then one other guy... uh...
[20:41] Yamada
    whose name I forgot, I think.
[20:43] Yamada
    But the four of them are going
    to raid your school, okay?
[20:47] Yamada
    So tell all your friends.
[20:52] Yamada
    Come on, now, Eita-kun.
[20:54] Eita
    Y-Yeah...
[20:59] Noguchi
    Kuro-kun told me to stay home yesterday,
[21:02] Noguchi
    but here I am at school.
[21:04] Director
    Excuse me, miss?
[21:06] Director
    I think his name was Kumogakure-kun...
[21:08] Director
    Is he not here yet?
SIGN    Sawada Glass Repair Company
[21:13] Yankee 1
    We really appreciate this, man.
[21:15] Yankee 2
    I think my nose might be broken.
[21:18] Yankee 1
    Seriously, big thanks
    for helping patch us up.
[21:21] Hibi
    So, who got you guys?
[21:24] Manager
    It's been a while, young master Kumogakure.
[21:27] Kuro
    Do you have weapons for me?
[21:30] Manager
    Of course.
[21:32] Manager
    It's nearly time. We're all counting on you.
[21:36] Manager
    You can put it on any finger you like.
[21:40] Manager
    The GPS installed on it will make
    sure a weapon is sent to you,
[21:44] Manager
    no matter where you are.
[21:47] Manager
    Do you think you can win this one?
[21:49] Kuro
    I'd say it's even odds.
[21:51] Yankee 1
    Oh, yeah, it was this tall dude
    with his hair slicked back.
[21:54] Yankee 1
    He just laid into us when our guard was down!
[21:58] Yankee 1
    And he said something about some guys
    named Kumogakure and Hibi
[22:02] Yankee 1
    and a few more coming
    to our school to rumble!
[22:08] Hibi
    I think that means the two of us.
[22:12] Kuro
    Let's go, Hibi.
[22:14] Kuro
    You two are coming, too.

[23:55] Kawado
    Speaking of names, most of the guys who
    come to my place use such obvious aliases.

    I wonder if Ono-san would use
    something like "Amano-san."
[24:02] Kawado
    Oh, man, I bet he does all kinds
    of nasty stuff as Amano-san!
[24:04] Ono
    Could you two not turn my name into a joke?
[24:06] Kuro
    Oh, it's Amano-san who hits up the
    sex workers first thing in the morning.
[24:08] Ono
    My name is Ono!
