Tan: "You can reach the next floor from here." Tan: "Thank you... We'll manage the rest ourselves. You keep going to your destination!" Juu: "Okay." Ob: "Understood. Good luck to you, too." Ken: "Then let's go, don!" Sho: "Yeah!" Mis: "I'm staying here." Ken: "What the don do you mean?" Sho: "Misawa, do you just want to stay with Tania?" Mis: "N-No! I want to hear more from those who were brought here," Mis: "Once I unravel the mystery, I'll catch up to you." Asu: "Good luck." Ob: "We'll be waiting." Juu: "Up that stairway..." Juu: "Beyond that door... Johan..." Juu: "I know you're still alive." Juu: "This is..." Man: "What is this place?" ub: "It looks like a town..." Asu: "But it's completely in ruins." Ken: "I didn't see this place when we came to this world, don." Jim: "Could this be another different dimension?" Asu: "Look at the sky!" ub: "A comet?" Ken: "What's wrong, Jim?" Asu: "Jim?" ub: "What's the matter?" Jim: "S-Sorry. It's nothing. After being underground for so long," Sho: "The sun isn't out. It seems to be night." Jim: "Yes, it's King's joke." Ken: "That wasn't really funny, don." ub: "Allow me to cleanse our palates." Asu: "Brother..." Ken: "What the don do we do now?" Man: "We should enter the town." Jim: "Is the time approaching?" Ob: "Was this world thrown here, from another dimension, as Tania's was?" Sho: "The door!" Sho: "It's gone!" Sho: "No turning back, huh?" Juu: "Johan is alive in this world... Let's believe that. I will save him!" Jim: "All right. From the start, that was our plan." Ob: "To do that, we should first learn all we can about this world." Ob: "Acting ignorantly is dangerous." Juu: "Got it." Asu: "It's creepy, being in a town with no signs of life." ub: "Yeah..." Jim: "Karen says there's no smell of food, either." Jim: "What happened? It looks pretty run-down." Ob: "It feels like something attacked them." Sho: "It's creepy." Jim: "What happened here?" Juu: "I see someone... A boy!" Jim: "Judai!" Ob: "Judai!" Juu: "We need to talk to that boy." Ob: "Sure, but be careful. We don't know what might happen." Scarr: "A few are still here, eh?" Scarr: "A kid? Not a warrior? Then I've got no use for you." Scarr: "Die!" Scarr: "You want to fight? I'll finish you with a duel." Kyle: "No... I don't want to die!" Juu: "Those who lose duels," Juu: "die!" Ob: "You fool! Stay back, Judai!" Juu: "I'll fight you!" Scarr: "What's that? Another kid, eh?" Ob: "Judai..." Scarr: "That kid there has quite the hardened gaze." Scarr: "If you're a warrior, I'll take you back to camp..." Scarr: "But the kids can all die together." Ob: "Who is he?" Juu: "Hurry! Get back!" Juu: "Everyone..." Juu: "Don't be ridiculous!" Sho: "Bro..." Ken: "Bro, I won't let you hog the spotlight, don! I'll also fight, saurus!" Juu: "Stay back!" Juu: "I'm fighting this guy!" Ken: "R-Really, saurus?" Man: "What's Judai so flustered about?" Juu: "I can't let them..." Ob: "Judai... You..." Scarr: "If you want to die so much, I'll start with you!" Both: "Duel!" Scarr: "Here I go! Draw! I summon Archfiend Soldier!" Scarr: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "I won't die..." Juu: "I won't let any of my friends die!" Juu: "Draw!" Juu: "I fuse Clayman and Sparkman in my hand!" Juu: "I summon Thunder Giant!" Juu: "Thunder Giant's effect activates! I destroy one monster" Juu: "Vapor Spark!" Juu: "Attack directly!" Ken: "He took off 2400 life points, just like that, don!" Sho: "I guess he didn't need your help, Kenzan!" Asu: "Judai..." Asu: "He isn't acting like himself." Asu: "It's like he's really fighting to the death..." Scarr: "Draw!" Scarr: "I summon Fusion Devourer!" Scarr: "Battle... Go, Fusion Devourer!" Juu: "No way! Thunder Giant's attack points are higher!" Juu: "What?" Scarr: "When Fusion Monsters do battle with Fusion Devourer," Scarr: "I activate my set card, Continuous Trap Fake Friendship Treaty. With this, you won't be able to summon any monsters of Level 4 or lower." Scarr: "I activate my Continuous Spell Hurricane Nest! When you Special Summon a monster," Man: "He's aiming to cut off Judai's ability to summon at the root." Sho: "Judai can't Special Summon monsters lower than Level 4." Sho: "Even if Judai summons Fusion Monsters, their attack points will be 0!" Ken: "He's in trouble, saurus!" Ob: "Judai..." Juu: "Not good. If I can't draw certain key cards, I really will..." Asu: "Judai..." Juu: "Draw!" Scarr: "Well? What did you draw?" Juu: "Okay... I activate the effect of Necroshade in my graveyard! I can summon an Elemental HERO without tribute!" Scarr: "What?" Juu: "I summon Neos!" Scarr: "What?" Juu: "Neos is Level 7. It's not a Special Summon or a Fusion Summon. I broke through your barricade!" Juu: "And I equip it with Neos Force!" Juu: "Its attack points increase by 800. Go, Neos!" Juu: "Wrath of Neos!" Man: "Yeah!" Trio: "Yes!" Asu: "Judai!" Sho: "That's my bro!" Ken: "What happened to that monster, saurus?" Ob: "It's gone. Duels in this world are life and death. If you lose, you die." Asu: "Oh, no..." Juu: "Are you okay? What's your name?" e: "Kyle!" e: "You are not to act without leave!" e: "I've told you that." Kyle: "Captain Freed!" Juu: "Where did that come from? That's awful!" e: "You've interfered unnecessarily, as well." Ken: "What the saurus are you talking about? Bro risked his life!" Sho: "He saved that kid!" e: "They... Zure's squad has taken notice." Juu: "Zure?" Man: "What's that sound?" e: "Don't do anything foolish!" e: "Kyle, let's go." Kyle: "Okay." e: "Come with us!" Kah: "This is where Scarr was defeated." Sho: "What are they?" e: "The monsters of Dark World." Ken: "Dark World?" Sho: "Should we really be following this guy?" Gina: "Kyle!" Gina: "You scared me, silly boy..." Kyle: "Sorry, Sis." Gina: "You must listen to Captain Freed" Gina: "What's this?" Kyle: "Dad's picture. I had to get it back." Gina: "Dad..." Gina: "Who are they?" Kyle: "Sis, that guy saved me." Gina: "Are you from another dimension?" Gina: "Were you thrown into this world like we were?" Ob: "We weren't thrown here. And we came here from a different dimension than you did." Gina: "I see. But how could this have happened? After we were thrown here," Juu: "Dark World?" Gina: "They were monsters from a legend told in our world. Now they're really appearing..." Ken: "After they were thrown here from their dimension," Kyle: "But the warriors of the Iron Knight Squad fought for us!" Juu: "Iron Knight Squad?" Kyle: "A squad of duel warriors led by Captain Freed." Kyle: "But the monsters caught the others and took them away." Kyle: "Even Dad..." Gina: "The women, elderly, and children that were left behind... They were killed by those monsters. The few of us remaining ran, and managed to survive here..." Kyle: "But we have Captain Freed! He'll beat them, and save Dad and the others!" Juu: "You lost your comrades, too?" Ob: "Judai..." Ob: "I think you know this, but our objective is to find Johan. It would be best not to get overly involved in this world's affairs." Juu: "I know that." Juu: "I do know that. I came here to save Johan." Juu: "I don't have time to worry about other things." Juu: "We're looking for a man named Johan. He's about our age, wearing purple clothes. Have you seen him?" e: "No, I haven't seen him." Juu: "Any of you? Does anyone know him?" Juu: "No one, huh?" Ob: "We must find Johan. If there aren't clues here, we must return to the surface." e: "Didn't you see?" e: "Our only choice is to hide here until they leave. We cannot leave here." e: "If you still wish to search for this Johan, I will not stop you. But I cannot have you leaving now. If they learned about this underground passage, we'd be in danger. When the comet's light weakens, it slows them. Wait and leave then." Ob: "Understood." e: "I am sorry. But I cannot put my people in danger." Sho: "This really is an awful world." Ken: "I don't want to fight life-or-death duels, don..." Man: "Judai knew it was like that, and he still..." Asu: "Judai," Asu: "I didn't know that the duel was life or death..." Juu: "What else could we do?" Juu: "We had to save that kid... Kyle." Asu: "No, I'm talking about you!" Asu: "You need to stop fighting those dangerous duels!" Juu: "Yeah, I guess you're right." Asu: "Judai!" Juu: "I get it. Sorry for worrying you." Zure: "Scarr was defeated, then?" Gren: "Truly an alarming matter." Bel: "Lord Zure!" Bel: "A single warrior has escaped from the prison camp!" Zure: "What?" Bel: "I believe he is traveling toward this town." Gren: "Is it the one who defeated Scarr?" Zure: "No, none of the warriors there are strong enough. Can it be... That one?" Mon: "There he is! That way!" Mon: "Those who escape must die!" Lar: "I activate Justi-Break!" Lar: "Captain..." Woman: "Captain Freed! A warrior of the Iron Knight Squad is..." e: "Lars!" Kyle: "Dad!" Gina: "Dad!" Lar: "Gina... Kyle..." Lar: "Captain... I waited for an opening... And I ran, but this is how it turned out." e: "Hang in there, Lars!" Lar: "I wanted to be of use to you! I wanted to fight for the people of our town..." e: "Lars..." Lar: "Our comrades are at a cliff's base, a little way from town..." Lar: "They're in a prison camp." Juu: "A prison camp?" Juu: "In that prison camp, was there a boy, in purple clothing, named Johan?" Asu: "Judai..." Lar: "There was a young man there," Juu: "Johan!" Juu: "That might be Johan." Kyle: "Dad!" Gina: "Dad!" Lar: "Kyle, become a fine warrior..." Lar: "Just as Captain Freed does." Kyle: "Dad..." Juu: "Let's save Johan and your comrades." Juu: "Johan's in that prison camp." Sho: "Where are you going, Bro?" Juu: "Johan's waiting for me to save him!" Sho: "Bro!" Juu: "I need to save Johan and Freed's comrades as soon as possible!" Sho: "Wait a minute... We don't know if it's Johan yet! You're being too hasty! Anyway, you haven't been listening to anyone lately. For once, think of us." Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Judai Versus Zure, Knight of Dark World."

ero: "Draw!" Man: "Nero... Stop it." Jim: "I'm looking for this man, Judai Yuki." Jim: "Have you seen him?" Man: "No... Is he a duelist?" Jim: "Yes." Man: "Then, I'm sorry to say, you should probably give up." Man: "Any duelist foolish enough to hang out here alone would be easy prey." Jim: "What do you mean?" Man: "Nero, what would you do" : "I'm going to become a duelist, too." ero: "So if that happened, I'd protect you, Grandpa!" Man: "N-Nero..." ero: "What is it, Grandpa?" Man: "The duelist-hunters of the Supreme King's army..." Bf: "Send out the duelists! If you don't, we'll slaughter you all!" Man: "Oh, no... We're done for." Jim: "Stand back." Bf: "Duelists, eh? Interesting!" Both: "Duel!" All: "Supreme King! Supreme King! Supreme King!" Chaos: "The eastern region is secured." Baou: "The north is under our control." Skull: "It's only a matter of time before the west is secured." All: "Supreme King! Supreme King!" Black: "Supreme King..." White: "All that remains is the south." ve: "Supreme King, give us your order." All: "Supreme King! Supreme King!" ero: "You guys were duelists!" Man: "Thank you." Jim: "Who were those men?" Ob: "You called them duelist-hunters, but..." Man: "You don't know? The Supreme King's army" Man: "They take them to the Supreme King's castle, from which not a single one has returned alive." Ob: "The Supreme King?" Man: "He is a terrifying duelist, the greatest in this world. He's a tyrant, who seeks to rule this world by force." Jim: "Can it be... Was Judai taken to that castle, too?" Ob: "But someone of Judai's caliber wouldn't be easily caught." Jim: "But the way Judai is now..." Trio: "Bro!" Bro: "I told you before... Their blood has already soaked into the sand here. The boy named Johan is dead." Jim: "Judai..." Jim: "This isn't your fault." Jim: "I called out to him, but he didn't respond. He was like an empty shell. The way he is now," Ob: "We need to find him quickly, before he gets in danger." Jim: "Yeah. We're his friends, after all!" Jim: "Hey, now... You're his friend, too." Ob: "The comet?" Jim: "Which way is the comet's tail pointing?" Jim: "It's falling toward me." Ob: "What's wrong, Jim? Are you in pain?" Jim: "Thanks, O'Brien." Jim: "Those stupid poachers," Jim: "Karen!" Jim: "Hey, there you are." Jim: "Look out, Karen!" Jim: "It's saying my friend, Judai, needs help." Jim: "What's wrong, O'Brien? Sleepy from the long trip?" Jim: "At least Karen's getting a nice nap!" ero: "We're almost to our village." Aba: "One more! One more!" Bur: "This town full of people..." Bur: "Are you the ones tormenting it?" Bur: "Those who commit evil deeds must be punished." Bur: "Prepare yourselves!" Jim: "I'll help you out!" Bur: "Reinforcements, eh?" Jim: "What?" Bur: "Feel the sword of Burgundy!" Man: "Master Burgundy, he's on our si—" Jim: "Ouch!" Bur: "What?" Ob: "Jim!" Bur: "Oh, no! How careless of me!" Jim: "Is this Duel Academia?" Sho: "Bro, stop it!" Juu: "It's fine..." Ken: "Marufuji, you're such a coward, don." Jim: "This is a memory from not long after I arrived at Duel Academia." Jim: "Hey, guys." Ken: "Th-There's an explanation, don..." Juu: "We were trying to figure out what crocodiles eat." Jim: "Sorry, but Karen won't let anyone but me feed her, Judai." Juu: "She's really well-trained, though." Jim: "Trained? No! Karen is my friend! Don't treat her like a pet or a toy!" Juu: "S-Sorry... Don't be mad. But in that case, I'm Karen's friend, too." Juu: "After all, you and I are friends, right? If you and Karen are friends, that means I'm Karen's friend, too. Right, Karen?" Juu: "Here." Sho: "Bro!" Juu: "She ate it!" Ken: "That scared me, don..." Sho: "Karen, you're too energetic!" Juu: "I see. You like it? Want more? I've got lots." Juu: "Hey, don't eat it with the wrapper on!" Jim: "At that time, I thought..." Jim: "Out in the wild, Karen and I were each other's only friend." Jim: "And yet, Judai made friends with her that easily." Juu: "Eat up! We really are friends, huh?" Jim: "Judai..." Cla: "You're awake?" Jim: "Who are you?" Cla: "My name is Claret. That crocodile never leaves your side, does she? She's just like your nurse." Jim: "Thanks, Karen." Bur: "Sorry about before... I was sure you were working for the Supreme King. Does it still hurt?" Jim: "No, I'm fine." Bur: "This man here said..." Ob: "Sorry, but I asked around, and no one knew anything about Judai." Ob: "But..." Jim: "But?" Bur: "It's extremely likely that the Supreme King has kidnapped him... If that's the case, he'll never make it out alive." Bur: "No one will blame you." Bur: "We all came here to escape the Supreme King's army." Bur: "Those who oppose the Supreme King gathered here to try to find peace." Bur: "Having strong men like you would help us a lot." Calr: "Burgundy, you're being so open." Jim: "Thanks for the offer. But we have to go." Bur: "Go? Where?" Jim: "To the Supreme King's castle, where Judai might be." Bur: "Don't be ridiculous!" Bur: "Don't throw your lives away!" Clar: "Why would you risk so much for him?" Jim: "Of course, because he's my friend." ero: "Bye-bye!" Bur: "It's a shame. They're good men." Clar: "They do have a chance. A miracle could happen." Bur: "Yes... Living in this world, to which we were brought, is hard" Bur: "That star is so creepy!" Jim: "O'Brien, you could have stayed behind." Ob: "True, this is an extremely reckless mission." Ob: "But a mercenary does not betray his comrades." Jim: "Let's gun it!" Bur: "Once you're out of the ravine, you can think" Bur: "The bizarrely shaped castle at the center" Ob: "We're out of the ravine." Ob: "Is that..." Jim: "The Supreme King's castle?" Jim: "Let's do it." Jim: "What? There's no sign of anyone." Ob: "A trap?" Jim: "I was prepared for that." Ob: "You're the leader of this mission. Do as you like." Jim: "Thanks, O'Brien." Jim: "What is this place?" Cos: "What fools you are, casually wandering in here... This is the sacred ground, on which the Supreme King" Jim: "Where are the kidnapped duelists?!" Cos: "How foolish you are. The Supreme King's legend did not begin with his castle! It began with his undefeated record here in this coliseum of death. Even a child knows" Jim: "Every one of them? Not one remains?" Cos: "My, you are stupid! If even one remained, he would not be undefeated, would he? By the way, I'm Kozaky, here to oversee" Cos: "Quaking in your boots yet?" Ob: "Is it possible that Judai died here?" Jim: "No! I don't believe a word that little worm says! Judai can't be dead!" Cos: "Worm?" Ob: "Interrogating the Supreme King seems the fastest way." Jim: "Okay. Let's split up and find a way into the castle." Cos: "Talking over me is even more unforgivable! The Supreme King has no particular attachment to this castle! He's already gone south, leading his army, to put the whole world under his control. Well? Give up yet?" Jim: "To the south?" Cos: "That's right! I'm currently the only one in this castle." Ob: "Let's hurry back. Burgundy and the rest are in danger." Jim: "Yeah." Cob: "I told you, being ignored is the one thing I hate most!" Cos: "Duel!" Ob: "What?" Jim: "It's a waste of time, but I'll face him!" Ob: "Don't lower your guard." Both: "Duel!" Jim: "My turn. Draw!" Jim: "I summon Weathering Soldier in defense position!" Jim: "I end my turn." Cos: "Then it's my turn. Here, I go. I'll start with this one. I summon Chaosrider Gustaph!" Cos: "And I activate my spell card Double Summon! This turn, I can perform a second Normal Summon. I use its effect to summon a second Gustaph!" Ob: "If he doesn't do something, the second Gustaph" Cos: "There's more coming!" Cos: "I offer Level 6 Gadget Soldier in my hand as a tribute for the ritual! Now, be born from the lightning," Cos: "And by discarding two cards, I can increase Gustaph's attack points by 600." Ob: "Not good, that will take nearly all of Jim's life points." Cos: "I'll make you regret calling me a worm. Go, biker army of the death coliseum!" Cos: "Superior Rampaging Three-Part Attack!" Ob: "Jim!" Cos: "That's what you get for calling me a worm!" Jim: "It's nothing." Jim: "This pain..." Jim: "Bearing the responsibility of losing most of his friends on his shoulders," Jim: "My turn! Draw!" Jim: "I activate Fossil Fusion! I fuse Weathering Soldier in my graveyard" Jim: "I Fusion Summon Fossil Machine Skull Wagon!" Jim: "And I activate Time Stream in my hand! I pay half of my life points" Jim: "Come out, Fossil Machine Skull Convoy!" Jim: "Skull Convoy can attack three times per battle. Go, Skull Convoy." Jim: "Great Charge!" Cos: "But I still have 3000 life points. You have only 50." Jim: "Let's go, O'Brien." Ob: "Yeah." Cos: "W-Wait! The duel isn't over yet! Are you completely ignoring me?!" Jim: "It's already over. For every one of your monsters that Skull Convoy destroys," Jim: "Play nice with the souls of those who died here, okay?" Cos: "No way! This can't be!" Cos: "I don't want to die!" Ob: "That's..." Jim: "The Supreme King's army? Which means... Burgundy's village..." Ob: "There's nowhere to hide here, Jim. Let's go above." All: "Supreme King! Supreme King! Supreme King!" Jim: "That's coming from the village!" Jim: "Damn... How could they do this?" Jim: "Why? How could they do something so awful?" Ob: "Jim, look at that!" Jim: "Burgundy!" Jim: "What? What's he saying?" Ob: ""You can't beat the Supreme King. Run..."" Jim: "Burgundy!" Jim: "Burgundy!" Jim: "They'll pay... They'll pay!" Ob: "Wait, Jim!" Ob: "Jim!" Jim: "Supreme King!" Jim: "You... I'll make you pay!" Jim: "Duel me!" Ob: "That's the Supreme King?" Sup: "I accept your challenge." Jim: "How can this be?" Sho: "Supreme King Judai... How sinister. Judai's not the Judai we know anymore!" Jim: "No, I know. My right eye is telling me..." Jim: "Judai is still connected to us, through our souls!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Dark Fusion! Inferno Wing!!" Jim: "Supreme King Judai..."

Jim: "Why? How could they do something so awful?" Ob: "Jim, look at that!" Jim: "Burgundy!" Ob: ""You can't beat the Supreme King. Run..."" Jim: "Burgundy!" Jim: "They'll pay... They'll pay!" Ob: "Wait, Jim!" Jim: "Supreme King!" Jim: "You... I'll make you pay!" Jim: "Judai!" Ob: "That's Judai?!" Ob: "Jim!" Bish: "Don't move, or you're dead." Jim: "Sorry, Karen..." Jim: "Judai, you're the Supreme King?" Jim: "Why?" Jim: "Why is this happening?!" Jim: "Judai!" Black: "Silence." White: "Who do you think you're talking to me?" Jim: "Can't you answer me, Judai?" Jim: "Are they somehow tricking you?" Chaos: "I told you to be silent!" Ob: "Jim!" Jim: "Judai... Just what are you trying to accomplish?" Ob: "I summon Fire Trooper!" Ob: "Now!" Bish: "What?" Chaos: "How presumptuous..." Black: "They can't have gone far." White: "Bring them back at once!" Juu: "Let them go." Bish: "But..." Juu: "I have no interest in warriors that refuse to fight." Ob: "Are you okay?" Jim: "Thanks." Jim: "You want some, too?" Ob: "Did you see those eyes? I don't know what happened to him, but that wasn't the Judai we know." Jim: "But I know..." Jim: "My eye is telling me that." Ob: "That's just like what you said before." Jim: "Which way is the comet's tail pointing?" Jim: "It's falling toward me." Ob: "What's wrong, Jim? Are you in pain?" Jim: "Thanks, O'Brien." Ob: "At that time, you said that Judai needed our help." Jim: "Yeah." Ob: "What happened to that right eye of yours?" Jim: "I guess that, during our time at Duel Academia, I never told you, huh?" Ob: "No." Jim: "Nothing." Jim: "I'm Karen's friend, too." Juu: "After all, you and I are friends, right? If you and Karen are friends, that means I'm Karen's friend, too. Right, Karen?" Juu: "Here." Juu: "She ate it!" Juu: "I see. You like it? Want more? I've got lots." Juu: "Hey, don't eat it with the wrapper on!" Jim: "It seemed insignificant." Jim: "Do I need a reason to become someone's friend?" Jim: "Some souls naturally resonate." Jim: "It was Karen who first taught me that." Jim: "Karen! Where are you?" Jim: "Hey, there you are." Jim: "Look out, Karen!" Man: "You're awake?" Jim: "I..." Jim: "What happened?" Man: "Boy..." Jim: "I'm just glad Karen's okay." Man: "In your right eye socket, you now have an orichalcum eye." Jim: "An orichalcum eye?" Man: "Yes... Tens of thousands of years ago," Man: "Someday, when you must save an irreplaceable friend," Jim: "A friend? You mean Karen?" Man: "Look at that." Man: "That star will tell you." Man: "When the comet's tail vanishes..." Man: "That is when the star of destiny will fall toward you. That is the moment when you will make a miracle happen" Man: "And that act will save the world from destruction." Jim: "It seems that moment has now come." Ob: "That's the orichalcum eye?" Jim: "Yeah. I'm going." Ob: "Just because that was the destiny he foretold? You're going to try to sacrifice yourself, to save the world?" Jim: "No, I don't feel any sense of duty or self-sacrifice. I just want to save my friend. That's all." Ob: "But..." Jim: "If Judai's soul is wandering and lost, then as a friend, I can't abandon him. If it looks like I won't be able to guide Judai back to us," Jim: "you handle things then." Ob: "Jim..." Jim: "Supreme King! I'm coming back!" Jim: "Duel me!" Black: "Come back to die, have you?" White: "You won't get away this time." Jim: "Get out! I have no use for you!" Jim: "I've come here in order to duel the Supreme King!" Juu: "Let none stand in my way." All: "Yes, sir!" Ob: "This intimidating aura..." Ob: "He's strong!" Both: "Duel!" Jim: "My turn. Draw!" Jim: "I summon Shell Knight in defense position! When I successfully summon Shell Knight," Jim: "Shell Burst! I set a card" Ob: "Great. Attack and defense in one. An excellent first turn." Skull: "A pathetic first turn." Bao: "With such a mediocre first turn," Juu: "Draw." Juu: "I activate my Fiend-Type exclusive fusion card, Dark Fusion." Ob: "Dark Fusion?" Jim: "A new card that Judai's never used before." Jim: "Is this the key card of Judai's deck, as Supreme King?" Juu: "I Dark Fuse Avian and Burstinatrix in my hand." Juu: "Come out, Evil HERO Inferno Wing!" Ob: "He fused Elemental HEROs to create an Evil HERO?" Juu: "Go, Inferno Wing." Juu: "Inferno Blast!" Jim: "Not so fast! I activate Sakuretsu Armor!" Juu: "Inferno Wing was Fusion Summoned by Dark Fusion. Thus, it cannot be destroyed by spells or traps this turn." Jim: "What?" Jim: "My monster was in defense position, but I still took damage? It has a piercing effect?" Juu: "Not only that." Juu: "Hell Backfire!" Ob: "Jim!" Black: "He took that hit directly." White: "Even if he still has life, he won't last long..." Jim: "Supreme King..." Jim: "Judai, your heart has fallen deep into darkness. That's all. It hasn't disappeared." Jim: "The orichalcum eye is the power I was given to save my friend. Judai, it leads me to you now!" Juu: "What is this light?" Ob: "Where am I?" Ob: "Jim, is this the orichalcum eye's miracle?" Juu: "Why?" Juu: "Why? How did this happen to me?" Juu: "What's wrong with me?" Jim: "Judai..." Juu: "What? What?" Juu: "With great power comes great responsibility." Juu: "You can beat neither Cobra nor me." Juu: "We have something that you lack. That I lack?" Juu: "Yes, the darkness of the heart that slumbers deep within a duelist." Juu: "Darkness of the heart?" Juu: "The burden that a duelist bears in his heart. Judai, you have none of that." Juu: "Yes. Your duels are superficial. Someone who fights with nothing on his shoulders" Juu: "cannot recover once he loses his enjoyment. What a duelist carries on his shoulders will become the power that supports him when he's up against the wall! But you have nothing like that. Those who go through life without anything like that cannot possibly seize victory!" Jim: "Judai..." Juu: "Even so, I won..." Juu: "Bearing everyone's hopes on my back, I won!" Juu: "But..." Juu: "But..." Trio: "Bro!" Trio: "What? What the... What's happening?" Trio: "I told you before... Their blood has already soaked into the sand here. The boy named Johan is dead." Juu: "They all went away." Juu: "I really was lacking something..." Juu: "What was it? What was it I was lacking?" Juu: "What is it that a duelist needs to bear on their shoulders?" King: "Then take it." King: "To be willing to become evil to defeat evil..." King: "This world exemplifies survival of the fittest. It must be ruled with power," Juu: "Power?" King: "Turn your resentment over the souls taken from you into power." Jim: "Don't listen, Judai!" Juu: "Your heart doesn't need any darkness!" Ob: "What was that?" Jim: "The orichalcum eye guided me into your heart. While you were lost, the words that seeped through the cracks in your heart" Jim: "As you are now, my words won't reach you. So I'll pull you away" Jim: "As your friend!" Jim: "My turn!" Jim: "Draw!" Jim: "I activate Fossil Fusion in my hand! I banish Shell Knight in my graveyard" Jim: "to Fusion Summon Fossil Warrior Skull Bone!" Jim: "I also pay half of my life points to activate Time Stream!" Jim: "Skull Bone devolves from the Cenozoic era to the Mesozoic!" Jim: "Come out, Fossil Warrior Skull Knight! Judai, I'm going to open your eyes!" Jim: "Skull Knight attacks! Knight Slash!" Jim: "It's not over yet... Quick-Play Spell Half Life. I halve the attack points of a monster destroyed by battle this turn," Jim: "Then Skull Knight's effect activates! As long as you have monsters on your side of the field," Jim: "Knight Slash Second!" Black: "Supreme King..." Jim: "Judai!" Jim: "Come back! You must escape your heart's darkness, even if you have to crawl!" Jim: "Judai!" Jim: "You're back, Judai?" Jim: "You've returned from the darkness of your heart?" Juu: "Fool." Juu: "Power is everything. In order to reign over this world," Jim: "Is it no use? No use at all?" Ob: "Is it simply impossible to bring Judai out of such darkness? Jim got Judai to show a bit of his true self," Sho: "It's none of my business." Ob: "The orichalcum eye is speaking to Supreme King Judai. It's telling him that we're his irreplaceable friends..." Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The First and Last. Super Polymerization Activates!"

Juu: "With winter break starting, almost all the students have gone home. Because of that, the island's mostly empty. But for the ones who stay behind, it's the best time there is. We can duel anywhere and anytime we want!" Juu: "I summon Clayman in attack position!" Juu: "I attack with Clayman!" Taka: "Help!" Hay: "Hot! Hot! Hot!" Taka: "S-Someone..." Sho: "Wh-What?" Juu: "What? What happened to you?" Taka: "J-Jinzo..." Juu: "What about Jinzo?" Taka: "H-He's after me!" Juu: "I don't get what he's talking about." Dai: "You're Mr. Takadera, from Obelisk Blue, aren't you?" Taka: "Instructor Daitokuji!" Juu: "Duel spirits?" Dai: "C-Calm down, Mr. Takadera... Start from the beginning." Taka: "R-Right." Taka: "It started right before winter break." Taka: "We, the Takadera Occult Brothers, were..." Juu: "The Takadera Occult Brothers?" Taka: "A group for studying the occult side of dueling." Taka: "In particular, we were researching the spirits that enable duels. On that day, to test the results of our earlier research," Taka: "using a Ouija board." Three: "Lord Jinzo, please come forth." Taka: ""Provide me three tributes, and I shall be reborn." That's what the board spelled out." Dai: "That isn't good... You shouldn't mix duel spirits with parapsychology." Sho: "So, what did you say to him?" Taka: ""Okay."" Sho: "Huh?!" Taka: "We thought he was talking about card tributes! But..." Sho: "You're not saying..." Taka: "The next day, one of our members, Mukoda, went missing. And the next day after that, Isaka did, too." Taka: "They were both taken as tributes!" Juu: "Well, it is winter break. Are you sure they didn't go home?" Taka: "I called both of their homes!" Taka: "I got so scared, I tried to take today's ferry home." Taka: "Then..." Taka: "I'm sure it was Jinzo!" Juu: "The spirit Jinzo..." Juu: "Sho! Hayato! Don't cling to me! You're crushing me!" Dai: "C-Calm down!" Juu: "Y-You're..." Sho: "Jinzo!" Juu: "Wait!" Sho: "W-Wait, Bro!" Hay: "Judai!" Dai: "Judai!" Juu: "Wait!" Juu: "That black coat... Could it really be..." Sho: "Bro!" Sho: "Where'd he go?" Juu: "I lost sight of him." Hay: "Was he really just running?" Juu: "Huh?" Dai: "What's wrong, Pharaoh?" Sho: "Pharaoh's fur!" Juu: "That way!" Sho: "Where are we?" Dai: "Be careful... This is a power transmission facility that routes electricity across the island. There's high-voltage current—" Juu: "Takadera!" Sho: "Instructor, you're the one who taught us that spirits exist..." Dai: "I-It's my first time seeing one!" Juu: "Hey, Jinzo, return Takadera and the others!" Juu: "If you want to be reborn that much, take me as the tribute!" Hay: "Judai..." Sho: "Bro!" Jinzo: "Very well. The power and wavelength you emit are out of the ordinary." Sho: "He spoke?" Jinzo: "Perhaps you would make a more suitable third tribute." Juu: "But there's a condition." Juu: "If I lose, I'll be your tribute. But if I win, you have to release Takadera and the other two!" Jinzo: "Very well! Interesting." Jinzo: "My tribute, you cannot escape now!" Juu: "I'm no tribute! I'm Judai Yuki, of Slifer Red!" Both: "Duel!" Jinzo: "I'll take the first move... Draw!" Jinzo: "I summon Malice Doll of Demise in attack position." Jin: "I activate Continuous Spell Ectoplasmer from my hand! Each of us, during our turn's End Phase," Sho: "B-Bro... He took damage right away." Juu: "His Continuous Spell... It benefits whoever has more monsters on the field." Jin: "I end my turn." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "Only one monster!" Juu: "I summon Avian in attack position!" Juu: "I set four cards." Juu: "And I activate this Continuous Spell from my hand, too!" Juu: "Mirage of Nightmare!" Juu: "During your Standby Phase, I draw cards until I have four in my hand." Juu: "Now I attack! I directly attack you with Avian!" Juu: "Feather Break!" Juu: "Now, Jinzo, I'm going to use your Ectoplasmer's effect, too!" Juu: "I pay Avian as a cost to deal half its attack points to you as damage!" Sho: "That's great, Bro! You did 1500 damage right away!" Juu: "Okay! This is going great!" Dai: "No, a duel spirit and a soul are on the line. This is effectively a dark game." Dai: "Judai, don't lower your guard." Jin: "My turn. Draw! Since Malice Doll of Demise was sent to the graveyard via a Continuous Spell's effect, it is revived during my Standby Phase!" Juu: "My Mirage of Nightmare's effect also activates. I draw four cards!" Juu: "There we go... Monster cards!" Juu: "And I activate Emergency Provisions from the field! I send Mirage of Nightmare to the graveyard, and regain 1000 life points!" Hay: "Oh, good move... Not only does he regain life points, but he won't have to discard his hand." Jin: "I summon Emissary of the Afterlife in attack position." Hay: "That isn't good at all..." Hay: "Judai doesn't have any monsters on his side of the field." Jin: "I attack you directly with Emissary of the Afterlife! Soul Hunt!" Juu: "I activate my facedown card A Hero Emerges!" Juu: "Choose a card." Juu: "All right! I Special Summon my monster card Sparkman in attack position!" Jin: "When Emissary of the Afterlife is sent to the graveyard, its effect activates!" Jin: "We can both add a Normal Monster of Level 3 or lower to our hand from our decks." Jin: "I add Thousand-Eyes Idol!" Juu: "Then I add Burstinatrix!" Jin: "My Battle Phase isn't over yet. I attack you directly with Malice Doll of Demise. Grudge Axe!" Jin: "And it isn't over." Jin: "I end my turn." Juu: "I need to do something about that Ectoplasmer..." Sho: "B-Bro! Your body..." Juu: "What is this?" Jin: "Your life is 1800. In other words, half your body has become a tribute for my resurrection." Juu: "Don't be ridiculous! I'm no one's tribute! My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I summon Clayman in attack position." Juu: "And I activate my Equip Spell Clay Wrap from the field, and equip it to Clayman." Juu: "Then I activate Polymerization from the field! I fuse Clayman and Burstinatrix, to summon Rampart Blaster in attack position! Clayman went to the graveyard as part of the fusion, but the effect of Clay Wrap, with which it was equipped, activates when it's sent to the graveyard. I can destroy one magic or trap card on your side of the field." Hay: "Now he can't use Ectoplasmer's effect to deal direct damage anymore." Juu: "Here I go. I attack you directly with Rampart Blaster!" Juu: "Rampart Shot!" Sho: "Great job, Bro!" Hay: "Nice one, Judai!" Juu: "I won't become your tribute... I set one card and end my turn!" Jin: "My turn... Draw!" Jin: "It's finally here. The ritual of my rebirth has begun." Juu: "What?" Jin: "I activate Malice Doll of Demise's effect!" Jin: "I tribute Malice Doll of Demise to summon Jinzo in attack position!" Juu: "So he's out, huh?" Hay: "At last..." Sho: "Jinzo's spirit..." Hay: "...has been reborn." Dai: "No..." Dai: "Judai hasn't been tributed yet. That means he isn't fully reborn yet." Jin: "That's right! Judai, my rebirth will be complete once I destroy you." Juu: "I don't think so! I'll stop you!" Jin: "Your struggle is pointless! I attack Rampart Blaster myself. Cyber Energy Shock!" Jin: "I end my turn." Hay: "That isn't good... As long as Jinzo's on the field," Hay: "Judai can't activate any trap cards." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I summon Wroughtweiler in defense position!" Juu: "I end my turn." Hay: "When that card's sent to the graveyard," Sho: "What HERO is Bro going to bring out?" Jin: "My turn. Draw." Jin: "I summon Spirit Caller in attack position." Juu: "Bring it on." Jin: "Then I attack Wroughtweiler myself. Cyber Energy Shock!" Juu: "In that instant, I add Clayman and Polymerization to my hand." Jin: "But the monster on your side of the field is gone. Spirit Caller, attack him directly! Gloomy Face!" Hay: "He's down to 400 life points..." Sho: "Bro!" Jin: "Then I equip my spell Amplifier to myself from my hand. With this, I become immune to Jinzo's effect, and can thus activate trap cards again." Jin: "I set one card and end my turn." Hay: "Th-This isn't good. He can use trap cards and Judai can't!" Juu: "My turn. Draw! I activate Pot of Greed!" Juu: "I draw two cards." Juu: "I summon Bubbleman in attack position!" Juu: "I activate Equip Spell Bubble Blaster from my hand!" Juu: "I equip it to Bubbleman." Juu: "It increases Bubbleman's attack points by 800! Go... I attack Spirit Caller with Bubbleman. Bubble Shoot!" Jin: "In that instant, I activate my Continuous Trap Spirit Barrier! As long as there are monsters on my side of the field, damage dealt to me in battle is reduced to 0..." Juu: "I activate my spell card Fairy of the Spring from my hand!" Juu: "I add one Equip Spell from the graveyard to my hand. I choose Clay Wrap!" Sho: "He used that before!" Hay: "That's the card that takes a spell or trap card to the graveyard with it when it goes." Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Jin: "My turn. Draw! I attack Bubbleman myself! Cyber Energy Shock!" Juu: "You destroyed the equipped Bubble Blaster, which means Bubbleman avoids taking battle damage or being destroyed." Jin: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "Winged Kuriboh..." Juu: "I see... You came to cheer me on. Thanks, pal." Jin: "A spirit?" Juu: "That's right. He's my pal. And unlike you, he doesn't require tributes! With our hearts united, we can see each other whenever we want." Juu: "I summon Clayman in attack position! Then I activate my Equip Spell Clay Wrap from my hand!" Juu: "I activate Polymerization from my hand, to fuse Bubbleman and Clayman!" Juu: "I summon Mudballman in attack position!" Juu: "Clay Wrap is sent to the graveyard, and its effect activates. I destroy your Amplifier!" Hay: "That's right, when Amplifier is sent to the graveyard," Sho: "You did it, Bro!" Juu: "Yeah!" Jin: "Not yet... I will be revived..." Juu: "Takadera!" Taka: "I activate my facedown card... Call of the Haunted... Revive Jinzo from the graveyard..." Juu: "I don't think so! I activate Solemn Judgment from my field! By paying half my life points, I can nullify a trap's activation and destroy the card. Go!" Taka: "What?" Juu: "I attack you directly with Mudballman. Go back to sleep, Jinzo. Mud Stomp!" Dai: "Th-This is..." Sho: "Bro..." Hay: "Huh? Is it already morning?" Dai: "It looks like they're okay." Sho: "That wasn't a dream, was it?" Juu: "It wasn't a dream. Duel spirits really do exist." Juu: "I don't know for sure, but I had a lot of fun!" Juu: "Forty-eight! Forty-nine! Fifty!" Juu: "Damn it, Instructor Cronos!" Juu: "Joining the tennis club for a day has nothing to do with dueling!" Sho: "Bro! Bro! Is it true you're playing a tennis duel over Asuka?" Juu: "Huh? What's President Peppy there talking about?" Sho: "His smile is radiant! His teeth are flashing!" Juu: "I don't get what's going on, but if you challenge me to a duel, I'll accept!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Duel Tennis of Youth."

Jim: "Quick-Play Spell Half Life. I halve the attack points of a monster destroyed by battle this turn," Jim: "Then Skull Knight's effect activates! As long as you have monsters on your side of the field," Jim: "Knight Slash Second!" Black: "Supreme King..." Jim: "Judai! Come back! You must escape your heart's darkness, even if you have to crawl!" Jim: "Judai!" Jim: "You're back, Judai?" Jim: "You've returned from the darkness of your heart?" Juu: "Fool." Juu: "Power is everything. In order to reign over this world," Jim: "Is it no use? No use at all?" Ob: "Is it simply impossible to bring Judai out of such darkness?" Juu: "Draw!" Juu: "I activate my spell card O — Oversoul." Juu: "I Special Summon an Elemental HERO from my graveyard." Juu: "Be reborn, Avian!" Juu: "Then I tribute Avian, to summon Evil HERO Malicious Edge." Jim: "Why?" Juu: "Malicious Edge is Level 7. But when you have a monster on your side of the field," Juu: "Go, Malicious Edge... Needle Burst!" Mom: "Are you okay? Hang in there." Mom: "Don't cry. Please... We have to hurry." Sho: "Shh! Quiet down." Gob: "Hey, did you hear?" Gob: "Hear what? The Supreme King is dueling at his castle. Seriously? Too bad we can't watch." Sho: "The Supreme King..." Yel: "It's safe now." Sho: "Going this way is still dangerous." Sho: "But if you go that way, you can escape." Mom: "Thank you so much. Who are you?" Girl: "Won't you come with us?" Sho: "I have to go..." Sho: "Because I have to watch over him." Yel: "Wait for me, Bro!" Black: "This time, it's really over." Bish: "Yes, this is what happens to those who oppose the Supreme King." Bao: "The Supreme King is the only one who can unite this world!" Ob: "No, Jim will rise again." White: "What?" Chaos: "Whence does he draw such power?" Ob: "Jim will rise again." Ob: "Not out of a sense of duty or self-sacrifice. But because he wants to save his friend." Juu: "Prepare yourself." Juu: "Your death will not be painless." Jim: "What is this pressure?" Ob: "I've been on many battlefields in my time," Ob: "It's like my soul is freezing over..." Ob: "Can it be..." Jim: "Judai, I won't give up until I save you. Draw!" Jim: "I activate my Field Spell Sacred Defense Barrier!" Jim: "And I summon Uluru's Guardian!" Jim: "I activate Sacred Defense Barrier's effect! When I successfully summon a Rock-Type Monster," Jim: "Within this barrier, a monster's destruction is negated once!" Juu: "Draw." Juu: "Malicious Edge attacks." Jim: "What? But you know I have a barrier!" Juu: "Needle Burst!" Ob: "Jim!" Juu: "Malicious Edge pierces through defending monsters," Jim: "I'm not done yet." Bish: "That fool!" Bao: "He still means to fight?" Jim: "I haven't lost yet!" Jim: "As long as I have life, I'll rise, again and again." Jim: "Again and again, Judai, until my voice reaches your heart! Judai!" Jim: "Do you hear me, Judai?!" Jim: "Watch this from that darkness you're in, Judai." Jim: "The battle of the friend who believes in you. Draw!" Jim: "I set one card and end my turn." Ob: "Jim's stamina must be nearing its limit." Ob: "It's only natural." Ob: "Karen..." Jim: "It's all right, Karen. I've got this." Jim: "Come on, Judai!" Juu: "Draw!" Juu: "I summon Evil HERO Infernal Gainer." Black: "His monster has no barrier left to protect it." Bish: "Infernal Gainer's attack will cement the Supreme King's victory." Juu: "Go, Malicious Edge." Juu: "Needle Burst!" Ob: "Jim!" Juu: "Infernal Gainer attacks." Jim: "I'm not done yet." Jim: "I Special Summon Trap Monster Uluru the Guardian Spirit!" Jim: "This card can only be activated when Uluru's Guardian is in my graveyard." Chaos: "Impudent fool..." Bish: "It has higher defense points than the Supreme King's monster's attack points." Juu: "I activate Infernal Gainer's monster effect." Jim: "What?" Juu: "Infernal Gainer has not engaged in battle this turn," Juu: "Needle Burst!" Ob: "Jim!" Yel: "Bro! I'm tired..." Yel: "Wait for me!" Yel: "You're such a meanie!" Bao: "Wasting the Supreme King's time..." Bish: "But he's finished now." Ob: "He's strong. I can't believe the Supreme King is this strong..." Black: "Is it his turn next?" White: "No, perhaps the crocodile will fight." Ob: "If I were to fight the Supreme King," Ob: "Win? Faced with that pressure, could I stay standing" Ob: "Jim..." Jim: "Do you hear them, Karen? The voices of the fossils? They're saying, "We're here. Dig us up."" Juu: "I can't hear them." Jim: "Judai..." Jim: "I don't really hear them. But I think of fossils" Jim: "So I want to find them as fast as possible." Juu: "And that's why you feel like you hear them?" Jim: "Although, by waking them from their long sleep," Juu: "I don't think so. I'm sure the fossils are happy to have you find them, too. Just as the HEROs at the bottom of my deck really want to be summoned." Jim: "That's right, Judai." Jim: "And I'm going to find you, no matter what!" Ob: "Jim..." Man: "Someday, when you must save an irreplaceable friend," Jim: "Now... Now is that moment!" Jim: "Orichalcum eye! Power of miracles!" Jim: "Give me your power!" Ob: "What's going on?" Bao: "What is this?" Jim: "Supreme King, return Judai." Jim: "I thought so." Jim: "Because the Supreme King's heart" Jim: "Thick layers..." Jim: "I'll do all I can to find you," Jim: "waiting Judai!" Jim: "Draw!" Jim: "I activate my spell card Fossil Hammer! It lets me destroy" Jim: "Then you can Special Summon one monster from your graveyard" Juu: "Return, Avian!" Jim: "Okay, I summon Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo! And the summoning of a Rock-Type Monster" Jim: "I attack Avian with Pachycephalo! Crash Head!" Jim: "That might have been just one shovel's worth of earth. But eventually, I will reach you, Judai!" Bish: "Who is he? That's a strange power he's using." Bao: "But he has only a little life left." Bao: "The Supreme King will surely win!" Ob: "You can do it... You can do it, Jim. I know that you can defeat the Supreme King and bring Judai back!" Jim: "I activate Pachycephalo's monster effect! After Pachycephalo attacks, it switches to defense position. Then, until your End Phase, its defense points" Jim: "I end my turn." Juu: "Draw." Juu: "I activate Dark Fusion." Jim: "I fuse Sparkman and Clayman in my hand. Come out, Evil HERO Lightning Golem!" Jim: "Lightning Golem's effect activates. Once per turn, it can destroy a monster." Jim: "Voltic Bomb!" Jim: "Defense Barrier!" Juu: "Lightning Golem attacks... Hell Lightning!" Jim: "Judai, whether you like it or not," Jim: "I'll make a miracle happen!" Jim: "My turn. Draw!" Jim: "I activate my spell card Miracle Rupture. I select one Rock-Type Monster from my deck," Jim: "Then I draw one card. Miracle Rupture card, pierce the thick rocks that keep Judai's heart locked away. Power of nature, eye of orichalcum," Jim: "give me power!" Jim: "Guide me to the card that will let me reach his heart!" Jim: "Draw!" White: "Wh-What is this?" Jim: "I banish Skull Bone and Skull Knight from my graveyard." Jim: "Come out from the scorching earth!" Jim: "Gaia Plate can halve an opponent monster's attack points. Super Plume!" Jim: "Go, Gaia Plate!" Jim: "Plate Tempest!" White: "Supreme King..." Bao: "Supreme King!" Jim: "Now! Come back, Judai!" Jim: "My friend!" Ob: "His life points are equal to the Supreme King's." Ob: "Did you do it, Jim?" Jim: "It took a long time," Jim: "Now, show me your face, Judai." Juu: "In that instant, Infernal Gainer returns." Jim: "That can't be!" Jim: "Judai! Can't you hear me? Judai!" Jim: "Judai!" Juu: "I discard one card. Let me show you the ultimate representation of the power" Juu: "Release the invincible, ultimate power! I activate Super Polymerization!" Ob: "A new fusion card? But the Supreme King has no cards in his hand!" Ob: "And he can't have any fusion-component monsters on the field or in his hand!" Jim: "C-Can it be?" Jim: "Impossible." Jim: "He's using Gaia Plate, on my side of the field, as a fusion component?!" Juu: "Super Polymerization can fuse any monster on my side of the field" Jim: "Then there's no way to prevent it... What a card!" Juu: "That is correct." Juu: "It is the ultimate power that guides me to absolute victory. In the face of that power, all are helpless!" Juu: "Come out, Evil HERO Dark Gaia! Dark Gaia's attack points are the sum of those belonging to the Fiend-Type" Ob: "4400?" Ob: "He has no defense monsters and no set cards..." Ob: "4400 attack points? Under these conditions?" Juu: "Begone! Dark Catastrophe!" Jim: "Karen..." Jim: "Judai!" Jim: "Karen..." Jim: "O'Brien..." Jim: "The darkness in his... in Judai's heart..." Jim: "It far exceeds anything we could have imagined. You..." Ob: "Jim..." Juu: "Are you next?" Jim: "O'Brien, please... Save Judai!" Black: "Pathetic." Ob: "I've survived so many battlefields, and yet... Even running away took all my strength." Sho: "O'Brien..." Ob: "Forgive me, Jim... I'm frightened!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Terrifying Supreme King! The Wandering O'Brien." Ob: "Stay away! Stay away!"

Gob: "Is anyone there?" Edo: "And who might you be?" Gob: "We serve Skull Knight, advisor to the Supreme King's army. What are you doing here, fool?" Edo: "Oh, trying to live a modest life, free from the fires of war." Gob: "Trash... You're not a duelist with the insurgent army, are you?" Edo: "Certainly not." Gob: "True, an unprepossessing child like you is unlikely to be a duelist. Move! Lately, in this area," Edo: "How frightening..." Gob: "If you know anything and you value your life, you'd better tell me!" Edo: "I don't know anything. But there is a chance, perhaps, that my master may know something." Gob: "Take me to him." Edo: "This way, if you please." Edo: "This way, if you please." Gob: "An ostentatious room!" Gob: "So? Where is your master?" Gob: "What are you doing?!" Edo: "Have a nice, long talk with my master." Gob: "Who the devil are you?" Ryo: "Welcome to my Cyber Art Dojo." Ryo: "Now, let us duel!" Gob: "Impudent fool, I'll take you down! Hey, where did you go?" Gob: "Really, what does he think he's doing?" Edo: "I beg your forbearance. It seems your partner had much to speak with my master about." Edo: "Please come to the next room and enjoy some relaxing tea." Gob: "Just now, what was that voice?!" Edo: "A pity... I was hoping we might enjoy a leisurely teatime." Edo: "But it appears I shall have to face you in my master's stead." Ryo: "Come out, ultimate secret of the Cyber Art, Cyber End!" Gob: "I-I'll tell you anything... Just spare my life, please!" Ryo: "Is it true that the Supreme King is Judai Yuki?" Gob: "I-It's true!" Ryo: "Do you have any proof?" Gob: "N-Now that you mention it, I've seen the king's deck." Ryo: "The Supreme King's deck?" Gob: "It had a black-painted card with "Elemental HERO" written on it." Ryo: "Elemental HERO?" Edo: "So? What is the Supreme King planning?" Gob: "T-To the south is a fortified town," Gob: "He wants to mount a full invasion. If he can take it down," Edo: "He's sending useful-seeming duelists to prison camps," Edo: "Prison camps, eh? Where are they?" Gob: "West of here." Gob: "I've told you everything I know!" Gob: "So please..." Both: "Spare my life!" Ryo: "I'm afraid, even if we are servants of justice..." Edo: "...we are the dark hero type." Ryo: "If we add up all the information we've gathered," Edo: "The Supreme King's army" Ryo: "No matter how deep the darkness in Judai's heart," Ryo: "we must halt his ambitions." Edo: "Then we need to find some allies of our own, right?" King: "What's wrong? Why are you running?" King: "Why won't you fight?" Jim: "O'Brien..." Jim: "The darkness in his... in Judai's heart..." Jim: "It far exceeds anything we could have imagined. You..." Ob: "Jim..." Ob: "The way I am now, I..." Yel: "There were warriors here?" Yel: "Bro!" Yel: "Did Mr. Judai really do all this?" Yel: "Looks like they left." Girl: "Thank you very much." es: "Thank you very much!" Yel: "S-So cute! Hey, hey, Bro, don't you think so, too?" Sho: "Yeah, but this isn't the time." Girl: "Are you two duelists?" Yel: "Yeah! We can beat that old Supreme King, easy-peasy—" Sho: "I'm just a bystander. I watch over a certain man's fate. If you're looking for a duelist who will fight the Supreme King," Sho: "There..." Girl: "I'll find one? A brave hero to fight the Supreme King?" y: "We'll find him?" Sho: "It's up to him, but..." y: "There he is! The hero! Hero!" Ob: "Hero?" Girl: "Are you the hero who will stand against the Supreme King?" Ob: "What are you talking about?" Girl: "All of our allies have been killed. The only survivors are gathering in a city by the cliff. We are searching for a hero who will fight for us." y: "We beg you!" Ob: "Fools... What are you saying? There's no duelist in this world that could beat the Supreme King!" Ob: "Don't worry about me..." Gob: "There should still be remnants in this area. Finish off every one of them!" Gob: "No one can escape these." Ob: "They scared me." Ob: "Damn it! Those stupid burdens!" Girl: "You are..." Girl: "Please use this!" Ob: "This is..." Girl: "Someone entrusted it to me." Sho: "If the fire that was extinguished in me still burns within that man..." Girl: "And he said to give it to you." Ob: "It's a poor match-up. My effect on monsters with the same element..." : "That's right. Their weak point! It's water!" Girl: "In that case... Sacred power that protects us, grant me power and be its guide. The power that abides in me is the power to turn the field into an ocean!" Ob: "What is this?" Girl: "Now!" Ob: "Take this... Anchor Bind!" : "He did it!" Girl: "Are you all right?" : "Are you all right?" Girl: "I knew it..." Ob: "Stop it. How can I make you understand? Right now, I'm just a coward, living in fear of the Supreme King." Ob: "You don't know how terrifying he is." Ob: "And the unfathomable coldness that dwells within him." Ob: "I'm afraid... I, who boasted about being a professional soldier. Now, just thinking about those eyes... Not only could I not avenge my friend, I actually turned tail and ran..." Girl: "You aren't a coward at all." Girl: "Just now, you fought bravely for all of us." Ob: "That's..." Girl: "You have a strong heart within, which will not abide evil. A strong heart" Ob: "My own darkness of the heart?" Girl: "You know that running from that will not solve anything." Ob: "But not even Jim's miracle could breach the Supreme King's defenses." Ob: "Just leave me be..." Girl: "Let's go." Ob: "Forgive me, Jim." Sho: "I guess you're going to walk the same path I do, huh?" Ob: "Sho? The same path? What do you mean?" Sho: "Judai betrayed me..." Sho: "You should see your own fate through, too. Now, let's go. Come with me." Ryo: "It's a continuous shock, learning that Judai had such darkness within him." Edo: "Though it all seems too convenient." Ryo: "What do you mean?" Edo: "Judai and his friends came to this world to retrieve Johan. But this world is very different from the world they told us about." Edo: "Johan died, and Judai suddenly fell into darkness." Ryo: "You think this situation was set up?" Edo: "I don't know... It's all a mystery. Meeting Supreme King Judai may clarify a few things, perhaps." Edo: "That's the prison camp?" Ryo: "Do you have a plan?" Edo: "No. But even if the darkness in Judai's heart is increasing his power," Ryo: "You're right. We'd hardly lose to them." Sho: "What's wrong?" Ob: "I won't do it. Right now, I can't fight the Supreme King," Man: "We've been digging all night! Let us sleep a while, please..." Sol: "Shut up! No complaining! You lot can just do as you're told!" Man: "Oh, no." Man: "Please... Anything but that! That's the last of our food." Guard: "If you're not going to fight, you don't need a full belly!" Girl: "What's going on in this town?" Guard: "Just hand it over!" Girl: "Stop it!" y: "Stop it!" Man: "What was that? Get lost!" Ob: "That's enough." Girl: "It's you!" Shield: "What's all this noise?" Ob: "You're..." Shield: "I am the commander here! I am the hero who has earned countless achievements in the realm of the dead." Shield: "There is no duelist more accomplished than I." Guard: "Well said..." Ob: "But it seems a little late to dig trenches within the walls." Ob: "Further, to deny food to children and the elderly..." Brain: "You... You oppose the commander? Then, you're willing to fight for us, on the front lines, against the Supreme King?" Guard: "Well said." Sol: "Let go!" Shield: "You really will serve the Supreme King?" Guard: "Well said..." Skull: "Don't worry." Skull: "I will now go to the Supreme King and return with the army. Continue deceiving the people here," Skull: "What stupid people!" Shield: "I would like to live a more comfortable life at the Supreme King's side." Guard: "Well said." Ob: "That's it, is it?" Guard: "You!" Ob: "When I saw you before, I thought it was suspicious. You're the fusion component for a high-level monster." Ob: "And your true form is..." Ob: "I knew it." Ob: "Jim!" Skull: "You are friend to the one who fell to the Supreme King?" Shield: "If he overheard our conversation..." Skull: "Patience. Even if he knows our identities, it matters little. He is merely a coward, who ran from the Supreme King," Jim: "O'Brien, please... Help Judai!" Skull: "He hasn't the guts to stand against the Supreme King." Shield: "How pathetic, to run without even trying to avenge your comrade! Aren't you ashamed?" Skull: "If you value your life, run off now, like the loser you are." Shield: "Run off!" Shield: "Wh-What's with that glare?" Skull: "No matter how a worm like you may struggle," Skull: "Your comrade died a fool's death! To challenge the Supreme King to a duel, not knowing his power's extent..." Skull: "If he were going to die, he should have been a bit more entertaining first." Ob: "Jim... He didn't die a fool's death!" Ob: "He believed in his friend!" Skull: "Friend, you say? His friend, the Supreme King?" Ob: "I don't care what you say about me. But I won't allow you to mock my friend," Skull: "Oh? Are you going to fight me? Very well. If that's what you want," Both: "Duel!" Ob: "Jim... It seems I cannot see the comet's tail anymore, either." Sho: "O'Brien... You chose to walk a different path than mine, right?" Ob: "I... For the sake of those who believed in me," Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Victory Defines Righteousness! The Supreme King Versus O'Brien." Ob: "Edo Phoenix... Kaiser Ryo..."

Ob: "Take this... Anchor Bind!" Girl: "Are you all right?" : "Are you all right?" Girl: "I knew it..." Ob: "Stop it. How can I make you understand? Right now, I'm just a coward, living in fear of the Supreme King." Shield: "I would like to live a more comfortable life at the Supreme King's side." Guard: "Well said." Ob: "That's it, is it? When I saw you before, I thought it was suspicious. You're the fusion component for a high-level monster." Ob: "And your true form is..." Skull: "Oh? Are you going to fight me? Very well. If that's what you want," Yel: "Hey, Bro..." Yel: "It's about to become a battlefield!" Sho: "If the Supreme King is going to that town," Yel: "B-Bro..." Yel: "I thought I saw someone... Was it someone I know? Hey, Bro!" Yel: "Wait up! I'm coming with you!" Both: "Duel!" Skull: "My turn." Skull: "I set one monster." Ob: "Let's go. My turn!" Ob: "I activate my Continuous Spell Blaze Accelerator! Then I send Blaze Accelerator to the graveyard," Ob: "By sending a Pyro-Type Monster from my hand to the graveyard," Ob: "In exchange, my monsters cannot attack this turn. I send Volcanic Scattershot to the graveyard," Skull: "I activate my trap Reverse Effector! When a spell or trap effect" Skull: "Magical Merchant's flip effect activates. I search my deck, adding the first spell or trap card I find to my hand." Skull: "Then I send all other cards to my graveyard." Ob: "Twelve cards?" Skull: "By the way, this is the card I added to my hand." Skull: "Then I send Magical Merchant to my graveyard." Ob: "But the effect of Volcanic Scattershot in my graveyard activates. When Volcanic Scattershot is sent to my graveyard," Ob: "And I summon Volcanic Slicer! Once per turn, Volcanic Slicer" Skull: "That tickled." Ob: "I set two cards and end my turn." Skull: "My turn. Ritual Spell Synthesis Spell!" Skull: "I tribute cards from my field or hand, totaling Level 6 or greater." Skull: "I tribute Mad Dog of Darkness and Vorse Raider from my hand." Skull: "Come out, Lycanthrope!" Ob: "2400 attack points?" Skull: "And I equip it with Equip Spell Undead Lineage." Skull: "When this spell is equipped to a monster, its attack points increase by 500." Skull: "Now your Tri-Blaze Accelerator is helpless! Go, Lycanthrope!" Ob: "I activate my trap Volcanic Armor! When a Pyro-Type Monster on my side of the field is destroyed," Skull: "You attempt to reverse our life points again," Skull: "I activate Lycanthrope's effect. When I take battle damage," Ob: "What?" Skull: "I have fourteen Normal Monsters in my graveyard..." Skull: "I deal 2800 damage!" Ob: "Was the large number of cards he sent to the graveyard preparation for this?" Skull: "Lycanthrope... Shadow Dance!" Skull: "Now you cannot destroy Lycanthrope." Skull: "The next strike will send you to join your friend in the afterlife." Shield: "He only has 100 life points left." Guard: "Well said." Ob: "Jim... Watch over me. My turn. Draw!" Ob: "It seems my mission to defeat you is complete. I send Tri-Blaze Accelerator to my graveyard," Skull: "3000 attack points?!" Ob: "And I activate my trap Volcanic Mine! Volcanic Mine lets me Special Summon Bomb Tokens into every open" Ob: "Go, Volcanic Doomfire! Volcanic Cannon!" Ob: "Volcanic Doomfire's effect activates!" Ob: "When Doomfire destroys one of your monsters," Skull: "What?" Skull: "Fool who stands against the Supreme King..." Skull: "Don't think you've beaten us just yet." Skull: "I'll be waiting for you in hell..." Girl: "This... He's one of the Supreme King's five closest advisors!" Man: "What does this mean? Why was Lord Ancient Brain..." Shield: "H-H-Hey... Don't be so rough." Girl: "What is the meaning of this?" Ob: "As you can see," Ob: "Skull Knight was working with him to betray you to the Supreme King's army." Sol: "But then, he's been fooling us this whole time? What's going to happen to us?" Man: "The Supreme King is coming, but we've lost our commander..." Girl: "We have a commander!" Girl: "That man." Ob: "What?" Man: "That's right... You, the one who defeated Skull Knight..." Ob: "No, I..." Woman: "Yeah!" Sol: "If you don't, we... We'll just be waiting for them to slaughter us!" Girl: "Please!" Woman: "We beg you!" Ob: "But I can't... Against the Supreme King..." Girl: "You're wrong." Girl: "You have a great power that others lack." Girl: "The power to guide people in the right direction." Girl: "Please! Rise up! We're all seeking your power!" Ob: "My power?" Ob: "Jim... It seems I cannot see the comet's tail anymore, either." Ob: "All right. I'll do it." Ob: "Everyone, we'll fight together, and we'll survive!" Ob: "Stop digging trenches." Ob: "Bring the workers outside the gates back in at once." Ob: "Do it now." Sol: "Y-Yes, sir." Ob: "Call all surviving duelists here." Ob: "We'll reform the squadrons around those duelists." Man: "Got it." Woman: "Sure thing!" Ob: "You..." Ob: "Evacuate the other children and the injured to the back of the town." Kid: "Okay." Sho: "O'Brien," Sho: "you chose a different path than I did, then?" Sol: "Emergency!" Sol: "An unknown force has appeared over the ridge!" Ob: "What?" Ob: "Can it be... The Supreme King's army?" Man: "They're here. At last... Damn!" Ob: "Is that it?" Sol: "Curse you, Supreme King's army!" Ob: "Wait." Ob: "They're on our side." Ob: "Edo Phoenix... Hell Kaiser Ryo." Ob: "What are you doing in this world, too?" Edo: "We heard you all were planning to venture into this world once more." Ryo: "We didn't think you could handle it alone." Ob: "I dislike hearing that." Ob: "Who are the knights you brought?" Edo: "If we're fighting the Supreme King's army, we'll need lots of help. So we brought the duelists being held in the prison camp." Ob: "Thanks. Then I think I can leave this place to them." Edo: "What does that mean?" Ob: "It's true that the people here have the will to fight. But nearly everyone here is injured, elderly," Edo: "I see..." Ob: "I don't want to let this place become a battlefield." Ryo: "But what will you do?" Ob: "I'm going to conduct a raid on the Supreme King's castle." Edo: "You, alone?" Ob: "I'll settle things with the Supreme King, one-on-one." Ob: "I'm not cut out to be a commander." Edo: "Then we'll join you." Ob: "No, really..." Edo: "It isn't a joke. We've come here to learn the truth. We won't let you leave us in the rearguard." Ob: "The truth?" Edo: "Since we came to this world," Edo: "When something changes suddenly, there's always something behind it. Suspecting ulterior motives like that is in my nature." Edo: "A lot has happened here." Edo: "I want to know what caused it all." Ob: "What caused Judai to change? Johan? But Johan is dead." Ryo: "Did you see it happen?" Edo: "I think that's the first thing we should question." Ob: "I see. If we could find proof that Johan were alive..." Ob: "Perhaps we could shine a ray of hope into his darkness." Ob: "But I have a condition for letting you come with me." Ob: "I will fight the Supreme King." Ryo: "What's that?" Ob: "A memento from Jim Crocodile Cook. For Jim's sake, I need to settle things with him." Ryo: "Very well. I'll let you handle Judai." Girls: "Got it!" y: "We should ask everyone... ...about a boy called Johan, right?" Ob: "Yes. If you find anyone who's seen him," Ob: "when the Supreme King arrives, tell him about it." y: "Got it. What about you, Mr. O'Brien?" Ob: "We'll meet again." All: "Supreme King! Supreme King! Supreme King!" Chaos: "Supreme King, we will be ready to head out shortly. The power of our united army" Chaos: "In less than a day, we can crush the town they're hiding in..." Ob: "How do we reach the Supreme King's room? Don't try anything, or I'll destroy you on the spot." Shield: "G-Got it. Go down this hallway and through a large room." Shield: "It's the stairway up ahead." Chaos: "Hey, wait. We're about to deploy." Ob: "Cover us." Shield: "My lord, Skull Knight, asked me to convey a message to the Supreme King." Chaos: "Indeed? Very well." Chaos: "All of Skull Knight's messages go through me! Who are you people?" Shield: "Th-They're reprobates who have come to assassinate the Supreme King!" Ob: "You..." Shield: "No way!" Chaos: "Wh-What?" Chaos: "You... What did you do to Skull Knight?" Ob: "He's gone to hell a step ahead of you." Ryo: "Leave this to me." Ob: "Hell Kaiser!" Ryo: "Since coming to this world, I haven't fought a single worthwhile duelist..." Ryo: "I'm feeling a bit rusty." Edo: "We'll leave this to you." Ob: "Thanks!" Chaos: "Wait! Where are you going?" Ryo: "What's that?" Chaos: "What can trash, such as they, do against the Supreme King? Very well. Then I shall face you! And when you're in hell, you can lament" Ryo: "Can I, now?" White: "You two!" Black: "Who are you?" Edo: "Go, Double Dude!" Edo: "I'll handle these two! Go!" Ob: "Thank you!" Both: "Damn you..." Edo: "You'll have to beat me before you can keep going!" King: "You? I am impressed you arrived unharmed." Ob: "You didn't seem to be expecting a direct assault on your citadel." Ob: "Now no one can interrupt us." King: "Are you saying that, after fleeing from me," Ob: "In terms of sheer power, I surely cannot stand against you. Faced with power, I thought only the strong survive," Ob: "I thought that was the nature of power." Ob: "That's why I was afraid of you, why I ran." King: "If you understand that, why did you return?" Ob: "Because I was wrong." Ob: "I've been made to realize there are two kinds of strength. The power that no one seeks." Ob: "And the power that everyone seeks. When everyone seeks your power," Ob: "I'm here now because of the courage given to me" King: "How sad. You are no hero. You are merely a sad loser. You can atone for that mistake with your death." Ob: "Judai, I'm sure... That now, as I am," Ob: "And that what I am doing is that which is known as righteousness!" King: "Then let the winner be called "righteous."" Both: "Duel!" Ob: "My turn!" Ob: "I set one card and end my turn!" Juu: "My turn." Juu: "I activate my spell card Dark Fusion. By sending component monsters, from my side of the field or hand, to the graveyard," Juu: "I fuse Avian and Wildheart in my hand!" Juu: "Come out, Wild Cyclone!" Juu: "Wild Cyclone attacks." Juu: "Cyclone Slash!" Ob: "I activate my trap!" Juu: "It's no use. When Wild Cyclone attacks," Ob: "What?" Juu: "When Wild Cyclone deals damage to you in battle," Juu: "What's wrong?" Juu: "Show me that power of yours." Ob: "Those icy eyes..." Sho: "Supreme King Judai..." Ob: "Jim, tell me..." Ob: "Jim!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Volcanic Doomfire Versus the Greatest Evil HERO."

y: "Everyone, please listen." y: "Have any of you heard of a boy called Johan?" All: "Have you?" y: "Even rumors?" y: "Anyone?" Sor: "Come out, Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!" Ryo: ""Perfectly Ultimate"?" Sor: "Go, Great Moth!" Edo: "Come out, Plasma!" Black: "You really think you can beat us with a trifle like that? Watch this." White: "Ritual Spell End of the World!" Black: "By tributing ourselves..." Both: "Come forth, Demise, King of Armageddon!" Edo: "Is that your true form?" Demise: "Fall to hell, whelp!" Ob: "Judai, don't you even care? Jim... For your sake, Jim..." Juu: "I walk the path along which power leads. That is all." Ob: "Even if that path leads the world into darkness?" Ob: "Don't you care if, because of you, everyone ends up dying?!" Ob: "A heart that's fallen to darkness is a lonely one." Ob: "I've experienced it myself..." Ob: "Why can't you understand that?" Juu: "I do not fear loneliness." Juu: "No one can stand facing the deepest darkness" Ob: "Judai, that isn't how you used to feel." Juu: "I have matured." Ob: "By falling into darkness?" Juu: "No truth is to be found in a loser's mewling." Ob: "Judai..." Ob: "My turn!" Ob: "I summon Volcanic Slicer in defense position!" Ob: "Volcanic Slicer deals 500 points of damage to you." Ob: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "My turn." Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Ob: "My turn!" Ob: "Continuous Spell Blaze Accelerator! Then, I send Blaze Accelerator to my graveyard" Ob: "I can send Pyro-Type Monsters from my hand to my graveyard," Ob: "The same turn I use this effect, I cannot attack. I send Volcanic Hammerer to my graveyard," Ob: "I also activate my spell Backfire! I can send a Pyro-Type Monster from my hand to my graveyard," Ob: "I send Volcanic Revolver to my graveyard." Ob: "Come out, Volcanic Hammerer! Volcanic Hammerer deals you damage" Ob: "The turn I activate this effect, Volcanic Hammerer cannot attack. I end my turn." Juu: "My turn." Juu: "I activate my spell card Dark Calling. I banish Dark Fusion in my graveyard," Juu: "I banish Burstinatrix in my hand and Clayman in my graveyard." Juu: "Come out, Evil HERO Infernal Sniper! When Infernal Sniper is in faceup defense position," Juu: "It cannot be destroyed by spell effects." Ob: "What? Tri-Blaze Accelerator's effect won't work?" Juu: "I activate Infernal Sniper's effect!" Juu: "Hell Shot! I'm surprised someone who once ran from me could hold their own" Ob: "I told you... The power that people seek can never be negated." Ob: "Those icy eyes..." Ob: "Jim... Despite all this, you believed in Judai?" Ob: "This is..." Ob: "Can it be?" Ob: "In other words, an enormous wall around his heart!" Ob: "If I can crush it, the real Judai might come back." Ob: "Jim... You knew that, and..." Jim: "Come back, Judai!" Jim: "My friend!" Ob: "The mission you left incomplete... I will see it through!" Ob: "My turn." Ob: "I send Tri-Blaze Accelerator to the graveyard." Ob: "Come out, Volcanic Doomfire!" Ob: "Go, Volcanic Doomfire..." Ob: "Volcanic Hammerer, attack directly!" Ob: "Almost there..." Sho: "Where? Where is he?!" Yel: "What's wrong, Bro?" : "You..." Yel: "We meet again! We must be linked by destiny." : "That's right... We haven't asked you yet!" Yel: "What, what? I'll tell you anything!" : "Have you seen a boy named Johan? Have you caught any sight of him?" Yel: "Yes, I have!" : "Really?" Yel: "Really, really. I saw him! I saw him! If it helps you girls, I'd have seen anything!" : "Yes! You saw him!" : "You saw him!" Sho: "You guys..." Sho: "Where is O'Brien? He said the Supreme King is coming." : "Well..." Sho: "Tell me! Where did he go?" : "To the Supreme King's castle." Sho: "Don't tell me... He went to fight the Supreme King?" es: "Yes." Sho: "Come out, Kiteroid!" Yel: "Wait, Bro!" : "If you do see Mr. O'Brien..." : "...please tell him... That you found..." Trio: "...the person he's looking for!" Yel: "I'll tell him, don't worry!" Juu: "You have fought back impressively, but the real fight is just beginning! My turn." Juu: "I Special Summon Infernal Prodigy! Infernal Prodigy can be Special Summoned from my hand" Juu: "Then I tribute Infernal Prodigy..." Juu: "Come out, Malicious Edge! When a monster is on your side of the field," Juu: "And when it attacks a monster in defense position," Ob: "2600 attack points!" Ob: "But Volcanic Doomfire's attack points are still higher." Juu: "In the instant that Infernal Prodigy is sent to the graveyard, its effect activates. I draw one card." Juu: "And I activate my Equip Spell Vicious Claw." Juu: "It increases the attack points of the monster it is equipped to by 300. And when the monster to which it is equipped is destroyed by battle," Juu: "Malicious Edge, attack Volcanic Hammerer!" Ob: "You fell for it! Volcanic Doomfire has a hidden effect. During any battle declared on your turn," Juu: "What?" Ob: "Just a little further." Juu: "Vicious Claw's effect activates!" Juu: "destroys one monster other than your attacker," Sor: "Die helplessly!" Ryo: "3500 attack points..." Ryo: "But you don't seem to know the secret of the Cyber Art." Sor: "The Cyber Art?" Ryo: "I fuse three Cyber Dragons in my hand. Come out, the Cyber Art's greatest technique, Cyber End Dragon!" Sor: "4000 attack points?" Ryo: "Eternal Evolution Burst!" Sho: "Brother!" Ryo: "Sho? Let's go." Demise: "Whelp, feel my rage. Apocalypse Judgment! I pay 2000 life points to destroy one of your monsters!" Dem: "What?" Edo: "It's no use. On my previous turn, I already activated D — Force." Edo: "D — Force negated your effect!" Dem: "Damn you... But my attack points still exceed yours." Edo: "I activate my trap Plasma Counter! While D — Force is activated," Edo: "I'm done here, too." Ob: "That's it. As his life points run down, the wall around his heart weakens." Juu: "It isn't over yet." Ob: "It's no use? Unless I can overturn the Supreme King's existence in Judai's heart... If only I knew the answer to that question." Edo: "What is this?" Ryo: "That's..." Edo: "Judai?" Ob: "Don't interfere! This battle is between him and me." Juu: "When Vicious Claw is destroyed," Ob: "A monsters on my side of the field?" Juu: "I activate my trap Evil Blast. It becomes an equip card for a monster" Juu: "But during each of your Standby Phases," Ob: "What?" Ryo: "O'Brien has 500 life points..." Edo: "Then, next turn, before O'Brien even begins his attack, his life will run out." Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Yel: "Mr. O'Brien... That's it! I need to tell Mr. O'Brien..." Yel: "Mr. O'Brien, I found the person you're looking for!" Ob: "Really?" Yel: "Yeah, that's what the fairy girls said." Ob: "Did you hear that, Judai? He's alive!" Ob: "Johan Andersen is alive!" Ob: "Judai, open your eyes. Didn't you come to this world to save Johan?" Ob: "Johan isn't dead. While you're doing this," Juu: "No matter how you struggle," Ob: "Everything comes down to this draw." Ob: "Judai..." Ob: "Jim?" Ob: "My turn!" Ob: "Draw!" Ob: "You gave me the last of your power." Ob: "Quick-Play Spell Volcanic Cyclone! I send Pyro-Type Monsters from my hand to the graveyard." Ob: "I send Volcanic Counter to the graveyard," Edo: "Yes... Now O'Brien can make it through." Ob: "Volcanic Doomfire..." Sho: "He can defeat the Supreme King's monster." Juu: "Your attack will not get through! Quick-Play Spell Super Polymerization! I send one card from my hand to the graveyard," Juu: "I send Vicious Claw to the graveyard," Juu: "Come out, Malicious Fiend!" Edo: "Not good! It has more attack points than Volcanic Doomfire does!" Juu: "What?" King: "That won't work... Your monster was destroyed." Ob: "But I also engaged my final plan. The effect of Volcanic Counter in my graveyard" Jim: "Judai, come back. Everyone's waiting for you." Jim: "You don't need to wear that cloak of darkness anymore." Ryo: "O'Brien!" Ob: "The Supreme King in Judai's heart is dead. Jim saved him." Ob: "For the rest..." Sho: "O'Brien!" Yel: "Oh, no!" Edo: "They drained their life points simultaneously, but only O'Brien disappeared." Edo: "Which means that the darkness in Judai's heart really is..." Ryo: "Listen up!" Ryo: "The Supreme King is dead! Leave this place at once!" All: "Supreme King!" Bao: "Damn you... Wait!" Ryo: "There's a lot I want to ask him. But for now, just let him sleep." Edo: "By the way..." Edo: "Is it true that Johan's alive?" Yel: "Yeah, those fairies were asking if anyone had seen him." Yel: "Wait a minute. That was..." Yel: "Really, really. I saw him! I saw him! If it helps you girls, I'd have seen anything!" Yel: "I just said that to sound cool!" Yel: "What do I do? What do I do?" Edo: "What's wrong?" Yel: "Um, um..." Yel: "Hey, I really did see him!" Yel: "I thought I saw someone... Was it someone I know?" Yel: "That's it! It really was..." Yel: "Mr. Johan!" Juu: "Where's Jim? Where's O'Brien?" Sho: "In the fight with the Supreme King, they both turned to light and vanished." Juu: "I... With my own hands, I..." Sho: "Right now, there's another man in pain and harming others..." Juu: "Amon? You're in this world, too? What's with your arm?" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Activate! Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord."

Juu: "I don't know why, but I feel it... Ahead of us, Johan is... Yubel is..." Joh: "I fuse the three Phantasms. Come forth from the darkness of chaos, Chaos Phantasm Armityle!" Amon: "The ultimate Phantasm..." Joh: "At my Main Phase, I can move Armityle to your side of the field." Joh: "Total Destruction and Reincarnation Wave! When I end my turn," Amon: "Draw." Johan: "Amon... He isn't even fazed?" Joh: "I've buried Exodius." Amon: "I activate my Field Spell Fog Castle!" Joh: "A card he's never used before..." Amon: "Five towers protect Fog Castle." Joh: "What is this?" Amon: "I summon Fog King in attack position! When Fog Castle is on the field," Amon: "And I equip it with Royal Sword. When the monster equipped with this sword engages in battle," Amon: "Go, Fog King... Destroy Armityle!" Amon: "Mist Strangle! Fog King's monster effect activates. When Fog King attacks," Joh: "But what good does reducing both to 1 attack point do? It's a tie. But Armityle can't be destroyed by battle. Your monster, on the other hand..." Amon: "Are you certain of that?" Joh: "What did you..." Amon: "The effect of Fog Castle" Amon: "But the tower that monster previously occupied..." Joh: "What's the point of fighting" Amon: "That is why it is not a tie." Joh: "Impossible! Armityle was..." Amon: "None are permitted to address Fog King. All monster effects, besides its own, are negated." Joh: "What?" Amon: "At the end of a Battle Phase" Amon: "the sword takes another shining crest. And each crest" Amon: "I end my turn." Joh: "Amon, you're amazing..." Joh: "You prepared another strategy, just in case Exodia were to be sealed. You don't miss a trick. Yes, yes... That is why you are a king. That's how a king conducts himself..." Amon: "It is your turn." Joh: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty. My turn. Draw!" Joh: "I summon Illusion Brigadier again!" Amon: "It cannot use its monster effect." Joh: "I know that. I attack Fog King with Illusion Brigadier! Shoot of Vision!" Amon: "As long as I have Fog Castle, Fog King will not die." Joh: "But you do take damage." Amon: "I have two crests!" Amon: "Now, Fog King has more attack points. Incidentally, once it gains four crests, I can send Royal Sword" Amon: "to deal 4000 points of damage to you." Joh: "I end my turn. So, even without Exodia, you had more than enough strength... Strength enough to compete with me." Joh: "But then, why did Echo have to die?" Joh: "Wasn't it a pointless death?" Juu: "I'm sure of it." Juu: "Johan... No, Yubel is waiting in here." Yel: "It's so bright!" Cro: "Where is the entrance?" Cro: "Wait a moment! It is dangerous!" Juu: "Yubel said she's waiting for me." Cro: "Signor..." Yel: "Bro!" Cro: "You must wait..." Yel: "Don't leave me!" Yel: "No!" Cro: "We cannot go back." Sho: "There's no path ahead." Sho: "What do we do, Judai?" Juu: "Where are you, Yubel?!" Juu: "I'm here! I'm right here! These are residents of other dimensions" Juu: "This is..." Juu: "The world I... That we were in..." Juu: "Yubel..." Juu: "You brought them, and us, here." Sho: "Judai!" Cro: "Signor Judai!" Yel: "L-Look!" Yel: "A bridge! It made a bridge!" Juu: "We'll be okay... We can cross!" Juu: "Yubel's on the other side." Joh: "I know. You never loved Echo. Or rather, you loved her just enough" Joh: "But you didn't love each other in the true sense of the word. All the pain was on her end. You haven't been hurt. You feel no anguish." Joh: "You feel no pain." Amon: "Stop beating around the bush." Amon: "What are you trying to say?" Joh: "I was hurt..." Joh: "That's why I'm making Judai feel the same things I did! Don't you think that's what it means for two people to love each other?" Juu: "Yubel..." Amon: "My turn. Draw!" Amon: "Battle! I attack Illusion Brigadier with Fog King. Mist Strangle!" Amon: "I set three cards and end my turn." Amon: "You seem to be struggling for breath. Then, you have taken severe damage." Joh: "Don't be ridiculous... The purpose of this duel is to recover from that damage. So that I can draw out your darkness of the heart and consume it..." Amon: "Darkness of the heart?" Joh: "That's right." Joh: "Within that shell, darkness of the heart swirled. That's finally coming into view, isn't it?" Joh: "Just a little... Just a little longer. It's my turn. Draw!" Joh: "I activate my spell card Akashic Record! I draw two cards from my deck. If they are cards I've used before, I banish them. They're new cards." Joh: "I activate Continuous Spell Nightmare Shuffle! I randomly select one card from my graveyard. Then I set it in my Spell and Trap Zone" Joh: "During the Standby Phase of my turn," Joh: "Then, if the set card is activated," Amon: "An all-or-nothing card?" Joh: "When fighting a flawless king," Joh: "Hey, Your Majesty, tell me... The ability to crush the one you love like a bug," Joh: "That darkness of your heart, a king's darkness..." Joh: "I want to see it... Inside your darkness of the heart..." Joh: "What dwells there? Well?" Joh: "Tell me." Joh: "Y-You... Can it be?" Amon: "Here, I will make my ideal world." Joh: "Amon..." Amon: "A world without anguish, pain, or poverty." Amon: "A world without grudges." Amon: "Without jealousy." Amon: "Without strife, without conflict. Where everyone can be what they want to be..." Amon: "That is the world I will make." Joh: "I'm disappointed." Joh: "The world is a place" Joh: "What Judai and I make together..." Joh: "You should have made it with the one you loved, too. A world for just the two of you. You could have made a world far more wonderful" Joh: "Oh, forget it. This is such a pointless duel..." Joh: "I summon Grave Squirmer in attack position!" Amon: "0 attack points? Grave Squirmer attacks Fog King!" Amon: "Struggle Claw!" Joh: "Grave Squirmer's effect activates." Amon: "When Fog King is on the field, effects cannot activate." Joh: "The dead are an exception. The dead are always allowed to speak. From the graveyard, Grave Squirmer's effect activates! When Grave Squirmer is sent to the graveyard by battle," Joh: "I destroy Royal Sword!" Amon: "I activate my trap card Crest Burn! I render a number of Fog Castle towers unusable" Joh: "Ridiculous! You've rendered all your Monster Zones unusable. What are you planning?" Joh: "I end my turn." Amon: "Echo..." Amon: "My turn. Draw! By sending Fog Castle, with all its towers gone," Amon: "I can select four cards from the graveyard to place in my hand." Amon: "But the turn I do this, I cannot engage in a Battle Phase." Joh: "Don't tell me... You..." Amon: "I have not forgotten Echo." Joh: "Exodia?" Amon: "Echo is here, with me. Always." Amon: "The ideal world that you mocked... I will make it, along with Echo!" Amon: "I activate my set card Break the Seal! By sending this card and a second Break the Seal from my field to the graveyard," Amon: "I activate my second Break the Seal!" Joh: "I send Nightmare Shuffle to the graveyard," Joh: "It's a Quick-Play Spell." Joh: "The effect of Hand Destruction! We both discard four cards." Joh: "Chain complete... Too bad, eh?" Amon: "I draw cards equal to what I sent to the graveyard. I draw four cards!" Joh: "I have no cards, so I draw one!" Amon: "The effect of Break the Seal completes." Amon: "I activate my spell card A Feather of the Phoenix! By discarding one card," Joh: "What?" Joh: "No... He can do that?" Amon: "My victory will be now confirmed! I set one card and end my turn!" Joh: "He's going for Exodia again..." Joh: "Is this..." Joh: "Darkness?" Joh: "The woman... Even in death," Joh: "The desire to kill me..." Joh: "This is the darkness I've been waiting for!" Joh: "My turn! Draw!" Joh: "I summon Torch Golem! By Special Summoning two Torch Tokens in attack position," Amon: "What?" Joh: "Then, by tributing two Torch Tokens," Amon: "Yubel?" Joh: "Let me show you my true self." Amon: "What is this?" Amon: "Echo!" Yubel: "Darkness of the woman's heart," Yubel: "come to me now." Amon: "What?" Amon: "What?" Yubel: "You hate me, yes? I am right here." Amon: "Echo!" Amon: "Echo!" Yubel: "All damage from the battle is dealt to you." Joh: "Isn't that nice, Amon? Echo? At last, you get to be equals in the pain and anguish you feel..." Amon: "Echo..." Amon: "Echo!" Joh: "Thank you, Amon." Joh: "I feel so much better now." Joh: "Judai... Come quickly." Sho: "This is the top floor of Yubel's castle?" Juu: "Johan... No, Yubel! You killed Amon?" Sho: "No, Judai! Don't fall for his provocation!" Juu: "Thanks to you all, I was released from that deep darkness." Juu: "I'll do whatever it takes to regain Johan's soul!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Neos Versus Advanced Crystal Beasts." Sho: "Without Polymerization, Judai can't possibly win!"

Juu: "Johan!" Joh: "Hey... I've been waiting, Judai." Sho: "What's that?" Joh: "Good timing." Juu: "Amon..." Amon: "Echo!" Yel: "Mr. Amon was..." Sho: "How can this be?" Cro: "Mamma mia..." Joh: "I like that expression. Reproach, hatred, bloodlust... Well-suited to one who once ascended to the Supreme King's heights. As your best friend," Joh: "Come on, Judai... Let us hurt each other!" Juu: "Cut the act, Yubel!" Juu: "I came here to take Johan back. Release Johan's body right now!" Joh: "I can't do that now. At the moment, I am both Yubel and Johan. As your best friend, this body" Juu: "That's enough!" Joh: "Hold back?" Joh: "I certainly hope not. Let neither of us show any mercy." Joh: "Come along..." Sho: "No! Don't fall for his provocation!" Cro: "If you duel, Either you or Signor Johan will surely die!" Joh: "Well, what will you do, Judai? You love dueling, don't you? Don't chicken out and disappoint me..." Cro: "Signor!" Sho: "Judai!" Juu: "I'll have to settle things with Yubel eventually. But if we fight now," Juu: "Jim and O'Brien sacrificed themselves to liberate my soul" Juu: "This time, I must do something to take back Johan's soul" Juu: "But I don't have any power like that orichalcum eye." Juu: "What do I do?" Juu: "The Kaiser risked his life... But he still couldn't save him!" Juu: "As I am now, do I really have the power to save Johan?" Juu: "What should I do?" Juu: "Neos?" Juu: "Aqua Dolphin! Flame Wingman!" Juu: "Everyone..." Juu: "Winged Kuriboh..." Aqua: "Why are you hesitating, Judai?" eo: "The Judai Yuki we know" eo: "He was a warrior like the sun." Aqua: "Remember..." Aqua: "With your pure-minded power, you saved Neo Space. If you're person we knew," eos: "Judai... Duels have allowed us" eos: "This is the time to believe in the power of duels!" Juu: "The power of duels..." Juu: "That's right. Johan told me he was fighting to create an ideal world," Juu: "Johan..." Juu: "Johan... If duels really can save the world, as you thought..." Mis: "If you want it, and your belief is strong," Mis: "In this world, spiritual and physical realities are connected. So, if you really want it," Juu: "If Misawa was right," Sho: "Judai!" Cro: "Signor Judai!" Juu: "Sho!" Juu: "Hang on to this!" Juu: "I..." Juu: "I will fight, with my own will!" Joh: "Thank goodness." Juu: "Please, everyone!" Joh: "You seem raring to go." Juu: "Thank you, my HEROs." Joh: "Ready yet?" Joh: "I've been waiting all day. But allies mean nothing." Yu: "When you have me." Juu: "Yubel..." Both: "Duel!" Joh: "Hurting the precious friend you risked your life to retrieve..." Yu: "Just as I would expect from my beloved Judai Yuki." Juu: "Johan," Cro: "It has begun..." Sho: "Judai can't win if he doesn't use Polymerization." Yel: "What will happen?" Joh: "I go first. Draw!" Joh: "I activate Field Spell Advanced Dark!" Yel: "There it is!" Cro: "That is the card that drove Signor Ryo to his death!" Sho: "A Field Spell that lets him reduce damage to himself to 0," Joh: "I summon Advanced Crystal Beast" Joh: "I end my turn." Juu: "My turn. Draw!" Juu: "Polymerization..." Juu: "The key card that has led me to victory in duels, over and over." Cro: "What is the matter? He has frozen..." Sho: "Don't tell me... He drew Polymerization?" Joh: "I thought we weren't holding back." Joh: "Don't tell me you got my hopes up for nothing." Juu: "Kaiser..." Juu: "What you risked your life to teach me... And the ultimate shine of a true duelist..." Juu: "I won't let them be in vain!" Juu: "Let's go! I activate my spell card Polymerization!" Sho: "Judai!" Juu: "I fuse Avian and Burstinatrix!" Juu: "I can't run... I can't hesitate. The anguish, the sorrow," Juu: "Come out, my favorite monster, Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!" Sho: "Yes!" Cro: "He has cut through his hesitation!" Yel: "Mr. Judai has finally recovered!" Joh: "Congratulations. It looks like I'll get to have a taste of the true you." eos: "Judai, borrow Flame Wingman's power" Juu: "Neos..." eos: "Pry open his heart's tightly closed door," eos: "Even without the orichalcum eye," Juu: "Okay. I'll try." Joh: "Hurry up already." Juu: "I attack Cobalt Eagle with Flame Wingman!" me: "Judai, follow me." Joh: "Have you forgotten the effect of my Field Spell Advanced Dark? I send one Advanced Crystal Beast from my deck to the graveyard." me: "Let's go." Juu: "Right." Juu: "Flame Shoot!" Juu: "Johan!" Juu: "Johan! Answer me. The real you is here, isn't it?" Juu: "Johan isn't here? What does that mean?" eos: "It appears Johan's soul is not locked within the darkness of his heart." Juu: "Johan... Where, exactly, are you?" Juu: "The deck?" Joh: "I know, Judai. You are serious. You are seriously trying to hurt me. But Advanced Dark's effect reduces the battle damage I take to 0. And Cobalt Eagle's monster effect" Joh: "A pity, isn't it?" Yel: "I knew it!" Cro: "At this rate, this will be but a repeat of Signor Ryo's duel." Sho: "Judai... Just what are you thinking?" Juu: "That's it. It's that card." Juu: "Johan's soul must be sealed away in that card." Juu: "To bring it out..." Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "Johan, wait for me." Joh: "You are overjoyed, aren't you? To truly hurt the one you love." Yubel: "But if that's what you wanted, why couldn't you get this serious before," Joh: "Why won't you say anything? Don't you have anything to say to me? Hey, Judai..." Joh: "How cold. How cold your eyes are... In that case, I'll have to make you understand!" Joh: "Draw!" Joh: "I summon Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus!" Joh: "Sapphire Pegasus can summon another Crystal Beast from my deck. I select Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle! Ruby's effect lets me unleash crystals set in" Joh: "Awaken, Ruby!" Joh: "Cobalt Eagle! And I equip Crystal Release" Joh: "Its attack points increase by 800!" Joh: "Battle... I attack Flame Wingman with Sapphire Pegasus! Sapphire Dark Horn!" Joh: "I attack directly with Cobalt Eagle! Cobalt Dark Wing!" Joh: "I'm not done yet..." Joh: "Ruby Dark Flash!" Joh: "Now, do you understand? There is no one in this world who loves you more..." Yubel: "Not more than I do." Juu: "That's not enough to beat me. I'm about to fight back, Yubel!" Joh: "Good... I want to share more pain with you, Judai." Yel: "He's smiling!" Cro: "Is Signor Judai enjoying hurting each other, too?" Sho: "C-Can it be?" Sho: "No." Juu: "He has three Crystal Beasts on his side of the field." Juu: "He almost has the conditions..." Juu: "My turn. Draw!" Juu: "Yes!" Juu: "I summon Neo-Spacian Grand Mole!" Juu: "I activate my trap card Common Sacrifice! I can activate this" Juu: "I send the two with the lowest attack points" Juu: "Then I can Special Summon one monster, Level 7 or higher," Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Neos!" Juu: "Battle! Grand Mole attacks Sapphire Pegasus!" Juu: "Drill Mole!" Juu: "Grand Mole's monster effect... Battle damage calculation does not occur," Joh: "When Sapphire Pegasus's Equip Spell," Joh: "I can set one Crystal Beast from my deck in my Spell and Trap Zone. Come out, Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth!" Juu: "Let's go, Neos... Battle!" eos: "Don't hesitate, Judai!" Juu: "Neos?" eos: "If you're afraid of hurting Johan," eos: "Right now, the best thing you can do" Juu: "I understand, Neos." Juu: "Battle! I attack directly with Neos!" Juu: "Wrath of Neos!" Yubel: "Judai, you are the greatest. To see you capable of hurting the one" Yubel: "You truly are the Supreme King." Joh: "You're the one I will love for eternity..." Yubel: "I love you. I truly love you, Judai." Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Joh: "My turn. Draw! Judai, this turn," Joh: "Because you gave me the perfect present last turn..." Joh: "I summon Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus! Its effect lets me set" Joh: "Then I activate Crystal Beacon! When I have two or more Crystal Beasts in my Spell and Trap Zones," Joh: "Come out, Advanced Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger!" Juu: "It's coming." Joh: "Now I have four Crystal Beasts on my side of the field. Only when I have a total" Juu: "I knew it." Joh: "Let's go, Judai." Joh: "Come out, Rainbow Dark Dragon!" Juu: "The legendary card Johan once searched for, Rainbow Dragon." Juu: "This is the only card his soul could be sealed in..." Juu: "Johan!" Juu: "You're in there, right? Answer me!" Juu: "Johan!" Joh: "Battle! Rainbow Dark Dragon, attack Neos! Rainbow Reflection!" Cro: "Signor!" Sho: "Judai!" Joh: "Judai..." Juu: "So, you are there." Yel: "He's gonna keep fighting!" Cro: "There are still two Crystal Beasts on Johan's side of the field," Sho: "Judai's life points are down to 300." Sho: "If either one's attack goes through, it's over." Juu: "I swear... I swear I'll save you, Johan!" Juu: "Johan... I finally found you. I swear I'll save you!" Sho: "Judai, Rainbow Dark Dragon stands before you." Juu: "But first... Can you hold out against those two Crystal Beasts' attacks? Pal... And you all? Judai! That card, at last..." Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Super Polymerization Activates! Rainbow Neos."

Ann: "Hi! Thanks for submitting your request to our company for a pro contact! Our review's conclusion is..." Ann: "As you currently are, we can't quite give you a contract." Ann: "But don't be disappointed. Keep working hard and try again! See you again!" Yel: "Bro, really... You collected all these rejection letters? You prankster..." Man: "I'm not collecting them because I want to!" Man: "Sho..." Man: "Tenjoin..." Man: "They've all decided where they're going for the future. I'm the only one..." Yel: "If you wanna be a pro," Man: "If I need my brothers' support from the start, what's the point?" Man: "I have to become a pro on my own... Then, someday, when I become a duelist worthy of the Manjome Group," Man: "I'll pay back my brothers for everything I owe them!" Cro: "Signor Manjome... I had no idea he had such passion." Cro: "Canzona blue! As his graduation adviser," Juu: "That's..." Juu: "Manjome and Instructor Cronos." Man: "Head Teacher, where are we going?" Man: "Edo..." Edo: "Instructor Cronos, what did you want to talk to me about?" Cro: "I beg you!" Edo: "What are you doing, Instructor Cronos?" Cro: "Edo Phoenix... I, Cronos de Medici, shall ask only this favor in my life. Please let Manjome serve as your assistant!" Man: "Wh-What are you talking about, Head Teacher Cronos?" Cro: "Manjome has sworn he won't return" Cro: "I desire to grant his wish. Signor Edo," Man: "Shut up, Head Teacher Cronos..." Man: "Besides, he's younger than I am." Juu: "It sounds interesting." Man: "Judai?" Juu: "As Edo's assistant, you could see the pro world up close." Man: "W-Well..." Juu: "Huh? Don't tell me, Manjome..." Man: "Don't be ridiculous!" Juu: "If you won't do it, maybe I will. Hey, Edo, can I be your assi—" Man: "H-Hang on..." Man: "Well, maybe I will." Cro: "Edo, please!" Juu: "Edo, why not?" Juu: "Look how far Instructor Cronos is willing to go. Have a little sympathy." Edo: "Do as you like." Cro: "Cake and tiramisu!" Em: "My name is Emeralda." Em: "I have been managing Edo's schedule." Em: "Take this." Man: "What are these?" Em: "You will learn soon enough." Man: "I'll be living here? Not bad." Em: "Certainly not. You will be sleeping..." Em: "There." Em: "Good luck." Man: "They shut off the power?" Man: "Well, I'll work it out." Man: "That reminds me, that woman said..." Em: "You had better wake up by seven, or you'll be sorry." Man: "What could she have meant?" Man: "Hello?" Voice: "This is Weekly Duelist. Next week, could we have Edo..." Man: "Wait a minute!" Voice: "This is Duel TV." Voice: "This is Victory Jump! This is Duel Kings! Battle TV! Radio Monster!" Cam: "Good! Good!" Ass: "Exposure's looking good." Make: "Wait, a hair is out of place." Edo: "Manjome, my white suit." Man: "R-Right." Man: "His white suit, his white suit..." Man: "Which one?!" Edo: "Manjome, my duel disk." Man: "Duel disk... Which one?!" Edo: "Thank you." Kid: "Thank you." Edo: "No, thank you." Man: "There are still so many?" Staff: "Twenty more trucks just arrived!" Edo: "I see." Mike: "It's an interesting opportunity, right?" Man: "Well, about that... Yes, you see..." Mike: "About the event at Duel Academia... Well? We could have a mascot show, with some magic tricks—" Edo: "Mike." Edo: "How many times must I tell you?" Edo: "I'm not a comedian." Mike: "But these days, just dueling doesn't cut it." Edo: "If you don't believe in the power of duels," Edo: "Manjome! The tea!" Man: "Y-Yes, sir." Man: "Tea? Which tea?" Edo: "Any is fine." Em: "We had the electricity and windows fixed." Em: "And I have a message from Edo." Man: "What the heck is this?" Man: "Are these... Are all of these..." Man: "Duel Monsters cards?" Man: "Edo, should I carry that suitcase for you, too?" Edo: "This contains a very important card." Man: "I... I see." Man: "Will this really make me a pro? That Edo... He's toying with me!" Em: "What an interesting thing to say." Man: "What do you mean?" Em: "You cannot see it? Intelligence, courage," Em: "and the refinement to immediately captivate all who meet him." Em: "You don't see many duelists like Edo." Em: "To remain in the pros, Edo has worked and worked. If you cannot learn anything by watching a top-rate pro such as he," Coach: "Is it okay to do it like usual?" Edo: "Sure. Don't hold back." Edo: "Let's go." Both: "Duel!" Man: "10,000 to 1000 life?" Edo: "My turn!" Man: "Th-That's..." Kid: "Thank you!" Man: "I'm rooting for you." Woman: "So pleased to meet you." Kid: "Can I shake your hand?" Coach: "Stop it, Edo! You can't do it with your hand like that." Edo: "No, I have to..." Edo: "Without working a thousand times harder than anyone," Edo: "Continue!" Edo: "If you can't, I'll fire you!" Man: "Spell. Spell." Man: "Spell. Spell." Man: "If he works a thousand times harder... I'll work ten thousand times harder!" Man: "Next week's not possible." Man: "We'll be traveling then." Man: "Can we charter a plane to New York this afternoon? And I want a flight to Paris in the evening." Man: "Here's your outfit and duel disk for the day. I already sent the others to your destinations." Man: "Here's your daily schedule, and documents on the guests you'll meet." Man: "If you don't have time to read it all, I'll summarize on the way." Man: "Let's go. We haven't much time." Edo: "Understood. But what's gotten into you?" Man: "I'm just doing my job. Oh, and for the time being, I'm canceling autograph ceremonies and the meet-and-greets." Edo: "What?" Man: "Right now, your condition..." Edo: "Understood." Man: "You forgot your suitcase." Edo: "I can't use my hands... You take it." Man: "You're sure?" Edo: "What choice do I have?" Sho: "I hope Manjome's doing okay." Ken: "That reminds me..." Ken: "Bro, is it true he's fighting you, saurus?" Juu: "The headmaster set it up. It's gonna be fun." Man: "All finished..." Man: "The suitcase!" Man: "It's gone!" Man: "It's gone!" Man: "This can't be!" Edo: "You idiot!" Edo: "An enormous amount of development money went into that card!" Em: "Edo, the president wants to see you at once." Edo: "Understood." Em: "This was an unspeakable error on your part!" Man: "Today's show is canceled!" Man: "Edo has an emergency to take care of." Mike: "It's a live broadcast. We can't cancel it! You'll have to fill in for him." Man: "What?" Mike: "Someone filling the programming hole will be better for Edo. Just do as I say. If you do, they'll like you." Ann: "Sorry for the wait! Today's Duel Channel special match..." Ann: "Duel Academia representative, Judai Yuki! He's facing Edo Phoenix's #1 pupil, Oja Manjome!" Kid: "That's funny! This rocks. Ojama! Oja Manjome!" Sho: "Wh-What the heck?" Ken: "Is that Manjome, don?" Juu: "Are you seriously dueling in that?" Man: "Shut up!" Edo: "Excuse me." Cos: "Edo, you know why I called you, right? That was the final D Card that we, the Senrigan Group," Cos: "If you have lost it," Edo: "I understand." Cos: "And what is this?" Edo: "Manjome?" Cos: "The Manjome Group is a rival to our consortium. Do you see what you're doing?" Em: "He is dueling Judai Yuki. He is rumored to be Duel Academia's top-ranked student." Cos: "I'm a gambler, too. Edo, I'll give you a chance." Cos: "If your assistant wins, I will overlook your mistake. But if he loses..." Edo: "To take responsibility, I shall quit as a pro." Both: "Duel!" Man: "My turn." Man: "I summon Ojama Yellow in defense position!" Kid: "There he is! Ojama Yellow!" Man: "I set one card" Juu: "My turn!" Juu: "Come out, Elemental HERO Sparkman!" Juu: "And I equip Spark Blaster to it. A hit from Spark Blaster" Juu: "Fire!" Yel: "But I have 0 attack points!" Juu: "Go, Sparkman." Man: "I activate my trap Ojamarble!" Man: "When an Ojama is destroyed, I return the card to my deck and shuffle." Man: "Then I draw two cards, and discard one. I discard Ojamagic." Man: "Its effect lets me add Ojamas Yellow, Green, and Black to my hand." Juu: "I end my turn." Man: "My turn!" Man: "I activate my spell card Polymerization! I fuse the three Ojamas in my hand!" Black: "Yeah! It's our turn!" Yel: "Let's go!" Gre: "Our big show!" King: "Ojama King!" Kid: "Here it is! Wow!" Kid: "Oja Manjome!" Man: "Spell card Ojamandala! I pay 1000 life points," Man: "Spell card Ojama Delta Hurricane!!" Man: "Go, my trash! Destroy all the cards on his side of the field!" Yel: "Sure-kill..." Gre: "Ojama..." Bla: "Delta..." Trio: "Hurricane!" Man: "And spell card Ojamuscle. I destroy the three Ojamas on the field," Man: "Go, Ojama King." Oja: "Ojamuscle!" Kid: "Wow! He did it! Cool!" Man: "I set two cards and end my turn." Juu: "Manjome's gotten a lot stronger..." Man: "I can't believe it... This deck's working great. And I feel like I know Judai's strategies like the back of my hand!" Man: "That's right..." Man: "I was thinking about all the potential of those cards. That's why..." Man: "I can win this duel!" Cos: "That boy is fighting a rather interesting duel." Juu: "My turn." Juu: "Spell card O — Oversoul!" Juu: "I Special Summon Sparkman from my graveyard!" Juu: "And I activate Double Fusion! I can pay 500 life points to perform two fusions in a row." Juu: "Come out, Flame Wingman!" Man: "Now... If I use Chthonian Polymer now," Mike: "Manjome..." Mike: "We don't want you to win the duel. Just amuse the customers. That's all." Mike: "There's more to this world than wins and losses. You need to learn that." Juu: "I Double Fuse Flame Wingman and Sparkman!" Juu: "Shining Flare Wingman! For each Elemental HERO in my graveyard," Juu: "Shining Shoot!" Man: "I activate my trap!" Juu: "What? At a time like this?" Man: "Ojama Trio!" Man: "I Special Summon three Ojama Tokens to your side of the field!" Black: "Excuse us!" Juu: "Shining Flare Wingman's effect activates! It deals damage to you" Stu: "Oja Manjome rocks!" Kid: "He activated a trap that didn't do squat! My stomach hurts..." Juu: "You were really good today. But did you deliberately lose, to entertain the crowd? If that's all you learned from Edo," Man: "What's the meaning of this?" Em: "To take responsibility for losing the card," Man: "What?" Em: "But you lost." Em: "Being a duelist means knowing you can lose it all with a single loss." Man: "Edo!" Edo: "Manjome, is it? You're fired." Sho: "Bro! Edo dismissed Manjome as his assistant. And what's worse, Edo is missing!" Juu: "Being a pro's tough, huh?" Sho: "Bro, you're being way too cold..." Juu: "Don't worry. Manjome and Edo will both bounce back. Sho, you agree, right?" Sho: "I guess so. Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Armed Dragon Versus Destiny End Dragoon." Juu: "A grudge match?"

Ob: "You're..." Ob: "Mr. T. I thought you were behind what's happening in this city." Ob: "What did you do with the people?" T: "If you want to know..." T: "You should inquire with your duel." Ob: "That does seem the most efficient way. So the others can see what's going on," Both: "Duel!" Ob: "My turn. Draw!" Ob: "I summon Volcanic Slicer! The effect of Volcanic Slicer" Ob: "I set one card and end my turn." T: "My turn. Draw." T: "I summon Dark Archetype!" Ob: "Dark Archetype... This was in the information Judai gave me." T: "I attack Volcanic Slicer with Dark Archetype!" Ob: "Even knowing it has fewer attack points?" T: "Dark Archetype's destruction activates its effect. I Special Summon a monster with attack points" T: "I took 400 damage. I send a Level 3 monster to the graveyard," Ob: "What is this thing? It wasn't in Judai's information. I activate my set card!" Ob: "Buster Trap! It activates when a monster is Special Summoned during the Battle Phase." Ob: "I destroy that monster and end the Battle Phase." Ob: "What's going on?" Ob: "Where am I?" Voice: "My son... My son!" Ob: "That voice..." Ob: "Daddy?" Dad: "You lowered your guard, my son. This world is always a battlefield." Dad: "If you don't keep your five senses sharp, you'll trip and fall." Ob: "My... My Volcanic Slicer..." Ob: "It is your ally, but you cannot trust it. Daddy..." Ob: "No, you aren't Daddy! Enough of this game. If you're trying to trip me up by imitating Daddy, you'll find it won't help you. Daddy already retired." Ob: "But his teachings, his heart," Ob: "I won't be deceived by a fake. Begone!" Ob: "Not giving up the illusion, huh?" Dad: "Calm your emotions." Ob: "What? Evaluate the situation." Dad: "Calm your emotions." Ob: "No... The fear in my heart" Ob: "The enemy isn't there!" Dad: "My son..." Ob: "Daddy..." Dad: "Face all problems with a clear mind." Dad: "On the battlefield, you must evaluate the situation, and control your emotions." Ob: "Yes, Daddy." Dad: "Tomorrow, we'll go down the mountain and see Mommy." Ob: "Go on, wear whatever costume you like." Ob: "Very well. Let's continue." Dad: "Yes, good idea. Always stay calm." Ob: "That day?" Dad: "Like the day on that mountain, when you let Mommy die." Ob: "What... What are you talking about?" Dad: "Calm your emotions." Ob: "What do you know about me? No, don't be fooled..." Ob: "He's trying to deceive me. That's right. Face it with a clear mind. In other words, focus on winning the duel, first and foremost." Dad: "Dark Psycho Eye's effect activates. Until this turn's End Phase, I take control of one of your monsters." Ob: "So that's it?" Ob: "That's why Volcanic Slicer is with him." Dad: "I activate Volcanic Slicer's effect. Take 500 points of damage." Dad: "I set one card." Dad: "I end my turn." Ob: "My turn!" Ob: "I attack directly with Volcanic Slicer!" Ob: "Begone, fake!" Dad: "I activate my set card... Continuous Trap Firewall! When you declare a direct attack," Dad: "My son... You should have recognized" Dad: "What's wrong, my son?" Ob: "I end my turn." Dad: "My turn. Draw." Dad: "I must pay 500 life points per turn, as a cost to maintain Firewall. And I activate my Continuous Spell Flame Wall from my hand. When this card is on the field," Dad: "And I activate my Continuous Spell Volcanic Wall." Dad: "I send three cards from the top of my deck to my graveyard. If any of them is a Pyro-Type Monster," Ob: "This strategy..." Dad: "That's right." Dad: "Does it remind you?" Ob: "I know... This is obviously a psychological attack." Ob: "Why?" Dad: "Dance with flames, my son! Just like your mommy did back then." Ob: "Back then? Mommy?" Ob: "This is..." Dad: "Remember what you gained on the mountain that day. And what you lost." Dad: "That's the decision you made..." Dad: "So that you could survive." Ob: "Don't be deceived by his words. Aim for the real enemy" Ob: "Focus on the more dangerous enemy..." Ob: "My turn! Draw!" Ob: "I activate my Continuous Spell Blaze Accelerator! And I send Blaze Accelerator to the graveyard," Ob: "And it's not over. I send Tri-Blaze Accelerator to the graveyard," Ob: "to summon Volcanic Doomfire! When Volcanic Doomfire is on the field," Ob: "And when Volcanic Doomfire destroys any monster on your side of the field," Man: "But Flame Wall negates monster effects." Dad: "And Firewall blocks direct attacks." Ob: "But for that," Ob: "I'll empty his graveyard. I attack directly with Volcanic Slicer!" Dad: "Firewall!" Ob: "I attack directly with Volcanic Doomfire!" Dad: "I see..." Ob: "Now, no Pyro-Type Monsters remain in your graveyard." Dad: "Not bad. Well done, my son." Ob: "No, this is the strategy my daddy taught me." Ob: "If you're talking about my daddy, you mustn't forget that." Ob: "I set two cards and end my turn." Ob: "Don't fear the sounds of the beasts. With this, I'll strike at the real enemy! Volcanic Mine will set a defense-position token" Ob: "Then, Switch Off... It will let me negate one Continuous Spell or Continuous Trap effect" Ob: "That will take care of his Firewall's defense." Ob: "In a battle between monsters, if I destroy an opponent monster... The other monsters caught in Doomfire's attack" Ob: "Then my mission will be complete. This is another thing Daddy taught me." Dad: "That's right..." Dad: "On that mountain, you absorbed all of my strategies." Dad: "And you forgot about Mommy." Ob: "Mommy? What are you talking about?" Dad: "My turn. Draw." Dad: "I pay 500 life points as a cost to maintain Firewall." Dad: "Then I tribute Volcanic Slicer on your side of the field..." Ob: "What?" Dad: "...to Special Summon Volcanic Queen to your side of the field." Ob: "My side... of the field?" Ob: "What is this monster?" Queen: "A-Austin..." Ob: "Mommy!" Ob: "This is..." Dad: "Face all problems with a clear mind, as you did back then." Ob: "Back then..." Dad: "We finished our training on that mountain and descended again. That's when it happened..." Ob: "Daddy... Mommy!" Ob: "No..." Ob: "I can only save one of them!" Dad: "I activate my spell card... The Unchosen One." Ob: "Don't do this." Dad: "I can activate this when two or more monsters are on your side of the field." Dad: "You must choose one monster on your side of the field." Ob: "Don't do this..." Dad: "You must destroy all cards on your side of the field other than the chosen one." Ob: "No... Stop it!" Dad: "Then, one of the destroyed monsters" Ob: "No... I... I..." Dad: "Now, be calm." Ob: "Daddy!" Ob: "I choose Volcanic Doomfire." Mom: "Austin... Save me..." Ob: "Mommy!" Ob: "Mommy!" Ob: "I loved Mommy. I loved her!" Dad: "You faced it with a clear mind. Despite your youth, you abandoned sentiment" Dad: "So that you could survive." Ob: "No!" Dad: "And you did so now, too. To pay Queen's maintenance cost," Dad: "You read the card text in an instant," Ob: "I... I..." Dad: "That's good." Dad: "I activate my Continuous Spell Volcanic Wall." Dad: "Take 1000 points of damage. Because I used that effect," Dad: "And Volcanic Queen's other effect activates... I send a card from my field to the graveyard," Ob: "Stop it... Mommy..." Ob: "Don't do this!" Dad: "I set one card. Then, during my End Phase," Dad: "I end my turn." Ob: "My turn. Draw." Ob: "I activate my spell card Big Volcano in my hand. I send one Pyro-Type Monster from my hand to the graveyard," Ob: "Then the effect of Volcanic Scattershot, which I sent to my graveyard," Dad: "You intend to Queen with Doomfire," Dad: "My son, your judgment is excellent. I'm impressed that you remained calm, without your mother's screams leading you astray." Ob: "I attack Queen with Volcanic Doomfire." Dad: "But you couldn't forgive yourself, right? You made a decision no one should ever make. You should have been the one crying and screaming." Dad: "You should have chosen to die alongside your parents." Dad: "You should have been true to your emotions." Dad: "I activate my trap Volcanic Curse. The moment you declare an attack with your monster," Dad: "It gains 500 attack points for each Pyro-Type Monster" Ob: "Daddy... Mommy... This is how it should have been." Ob: "In this despair... Together," Dad: ""Things are going fine here. No need to worry." Dad: "This year, when I get some time off, I'll visit." Dad: "I can't wait to eat your apple pie, Mommy. Austin."" Mom: "That silly Austin. Sounds like he's well. I can't wait until his next vacation." Mom: "Yes?" Mom: "Austin?" Ob: "You didn't die in the accident that day on the mountain." Ob: "Daddy saved you." Mom: "What's wrong, Austin?" Ob: "But I still decided which one of you to save." Ob: "In that moment, it was just as if I'd killed you." Ob: "Such an awful boy has no right to be your son." Mom: "Who are you?" Juu: "O'Brien, pick up. Where are you?" Ob: "Judai, I'm right here." Ob: "I'm right here, Judai." Ob: "No, I'm here." Juu: "This is..." Juu: "O'Brien... What's going on here?" Ob: "What's the matter?" Juu: "You're wrong." Juu: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Saio Returns! The Decisive Power of Absolute Destiny!! Saio, has Domino City already fallen to Darkness?"

Dai: "I'd like to introduce you all to someone!" Dai: "Rei Saotome, who took the transfer test, will be joining Slifer Red." Hay: "That kid's as pretty as a girl." Sho: "I wonder if he's depressed about transferring into Slifer Red. I understand how he feels..." Juu: "Okay!" Juu: "Hooray!" Juu: "Hooray! Rei!" Juu: "Come on, don't sweat the bad score. Let's all have fun together." Dai: "I think you have the wrong idea about something." Juu: "I'm just trying to comfort a transfer student..." Juu: "who's taken a blow to his pride." Dai: "Rei Saotome isn't in Slifer Red because of a bad score." Dai: "Any student who transfers mid-year is assigned to this dorm. Rei Saotome's scores should get him into Ra Yellow very soon." Juu: "Oh! Anyway, we're still happy to have a new friend with us in Slifer Red. Right, Sho? Hayato?" Both: "Of course!" Dai: "What a relief! We didn't have enough rooms, so I wasn't sure what to do." Dai: "You can stay in their room for a while." Rei: "Okay." Hay: "I-It's so cramped." Sho: "There's no room to walk around..." Rei: "I'm sorry." Juu: "Well, nothing wrong with this. No matter how cramped it gets," Juu: "Now, let's hit up the bath together!" Juu: "Men can't truly bond until they get naked and wash each other's backs." Rei: "N-No thank you..." Rei: "I-I think I'm coming down with a cold." Sho: "Hey, did you notice anything strange about Rei?" Hay: "He's small and cute, almost like a girl..." Juu: "Hmm, well, people come in all shapes and sizes." Juu: "Okay, swap!" Juu: "Are you kidding me?!" Same: "Our yearly friendship duel against our sister school, Duel Academia North, is approaching. Last year, when second-year student Ryo Marufuji defeated North's representative," Sho: "He's my big brother." Rei: "Oh?" Sho: "Unlike me, he gets good grades." Same: "I haven't decided on our representative for this year yet," Juu: "Okay! I'm gonna work hard to be the representative!" Sho: "Sorry, Bro, but the representative will obviously be Kaiser Ryo again this year." Juu: "Tsk..." Juu: "I'm hungry... And the dorm isn't serving lunch yet." Sho: "Want to buy something from Ms. Tome's store on the way back?" Hay: "Maybe you'll draw the egg bread." Sho: "I doubt it..." Sho: "Bro?" Juu: "You take care of the bread!" Juu: "What's he doing at the Obelisk Blue dorm?" Juu: "What is he doing?" Juu: "Wh-What's with that guy?" Blue: "That's our Kaiser!" Blue: "You sure are good." Juu: "Oh, no!" Juu: "What are you doing?" Juu: "If you do that, they'll assume you're a spy for North!" Rei: "I am not!" Juu: "We'll talk about it later. Now, let's go!" Juu: "Rei... You..." Juu: "H-Hey..." Juu: "Wait!" Blue: "Hey, you!" Blue: "You're Slifer Red's..." Blue: "What are you doing, sneaking into the Kaiser's room?" Blue: "His deck... You're a spy, aren't you?" Juu: "No!" Blue: "You're scum, you know that?" Juu: "No! L-Listen... I saw that your window was open, so I wanted to close it." Blue: "Who would believe a story like that?" Juu: "It's true! Well, I'll be going now—" Blue: "You won't get away! We're turning you over to the faculty! You'll be expelled on the spot!" Juu: "It's all a misunderstanding!" Blue: "You don't know when to give up, do you?" Juu: "I'm telling you I'm not a spy!" Blue: "I don't want to hear it!" Juu: "Just trust a guy, for once!" Blue: "Who would trust a guy who breaks in to someone's empty room?!" Ryo: "Let him go." Ryo: "Judai, you can exit through the front door. It's that way." Juu: "S-Sure. Sorry for the trouble!" Juu: "Sheesh! That was close..." Rei: "Why did he cover for me?" Asu: "It's unusual for you to call me out here. Did you receive some new information?" Ryo: "No... Today, I want some advice." Asu: "The man they call "Kaiser" gets worried?" Asu: "A girl's hair clip?" Sho: "That felt great..." Hay: "He went out with Rei." Sho: "Huh? You think Bro decided to learn by force why he won't take baths?" Hay: "No, Rei invited him." Sho: "What could it be about?" Rei: "Why didn't you tell them about me?" Juu: "You mean this afternoon? If a girl's going so far as to dress like a guy and come all this way, there must be a reason." Rei: "Don't tell anyone!" Juu: "When you ask for a favor, you should explain what's going on first." Rei: "I can't!" Juu: "Then let's duel." Rei: "What? What kind of logic is that? In a duel, no one can lie." Rei: "You're saying that, if I win, you'll keep my secret without asking for details?" Juu: "Yeah, since I won't have to anymore." Sho: "Rei's a girl?!" Hay: "I wonder what happened this afternoon." Sho: "I should expect this by now, but he goes right for the duel, of course." Asu: "That's just Judai's style." Ryo: "A duel brings out one's personality, as well as the truth about them." Asu: "That's why he said he wouldn't have to ask for the details anymore." Sho: "Are duels really that meaningful?" Both: "Duel!" Rei: "My turn. Draw!" Rei: "I summon Maiden in Love!" Sho: "She's cute!" Rei: "I end my turn!" Juu: "My turn. Draw!" Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Avian in attack position!" Juu: "Battle!" Sho: "That isn't a fair match..." Hay: "Who are you rooting for again?" Asu: "But when a woman falls in love, she can change." Juu: "Feather Break!" Rei: "Maiden in Love's monster effect activates! As long as she's in attack position, she can't be destroyed by battle!" Juu: "Winged Kuriboh?" Avian: "M-Miss, are you all right?" Juu: "What?!" Juu: "You've gotta hang in there, Avian! Falling for a girl isn't heroic!" Sho: "Bro's acting kind of weird." Hay: "I wonder if Judai's seeing something we're not..." Juu: "Avian, what happened to you?" Rei: "And one more monster effect. Any monster that attacks Maiden in Love gets one Maiden Counter." Maiden: "Love!" Juu: "M-Maiden Counter?" Rei: "My turn. Draw!" Rei: "I activate the Equip Spell Cupid's Kiss from my hand!" Rei: "Time for battle. Earnest Feelings!" Maiden: "Mr. Avian! Please accept my earnest feelings!" Maiden: "H-How cruel... It's so cruel!" Avian: "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." Maiden: "Kiss." Juu: "Wh-What?" Maiden: "You'll do anything I ask, won't you?" Avian: "Of course!" Maiden: "Then would you please attack Judai?" Avian: "Of course. I'll do anything you ask!" Judai: "Damn... Avian, don't get gushy over a girl. You call yourself a hero?!" Sho: "He's talking again." Hay: "I knew it. He can see something..." Rei: "If she attacks a monster with a Maiden Counter and takes damage," Rei: "I can take control of that monster." Rei: "My turn is over." Juu: "This is getting on my nerves. Anyway, I'd better draw." Juu: "If I don't attack Maiden in Love, she can't take my monsters. Okay! I summon Elemental HERO Sparkman!" Juu: "Sorry, Avian, but I'm going to attack you! Sparkman, use Spark Flash on Avian!" Rei: "I activate my trap card Defense Maiden!" Rei: "Defense Maiden's effect transfers Sparkman's attack to Maiden in Love!" Avian: "Sparkman! You're supposed to be a hero! How could you attack a frail young girl? What's wrong with you?!" Spark: "Oh, what have I done? My dear, are you all right?" Maiden: "Do not blame yourself. After all, to fight... That is our destiny." Maiden: "Right?" Spark: "I'm in love!" Rei: "Now Sparkman has a Maiden Counter, too." Juu: "What's wrong with you guys?" Sho: "Not again... Get a hold of yourself, Bro." Hay: "He looks like he's in pain." Asu: "Judai seems to know very little about the finer points of men and women's hearts." Ryo: "No, it isn't just Judai. History has proven that one beautiful girl can bring ruin to a country." Asu: "I understand. Even the man they call "Kaiser" has a hard time with it, after all..." Rei: "My turn. Draw!" Rei: "I activate my Equip Spell Happy Marriage!" Rei: "Its effect increases Maiden in Love's attack points by Avian's." Maiden: "Sparkman, dear!" Maiden: "Sparkman, dear... You're so cruel!" Spark: "Y-You've got it all wrong!" Maiden: "Then... Will you fight for me?" Spark: "Of course!" Maiden: "Please... My dearest Sparkman!" Maiden: "You, too, darling Avian." Avian: "Love!" Rei: "Being in love gives a woman strength. There's nothing she can't do." Ryo: "Even Judai falters before Rei." Asu: "For her, making a few monsters in a duel fall in love is trivial. After all, she's someone who flew all the way to a distant, South Seas island in pursuit of her first love." Sho: "Is that what this is?" Asu: "And she even made it through that difficult transfer exam..." Juu: "Yeah, my mistake was sending male HEROs after a girl. My turn! Draw!" Juu: "Obviously, you need a girl to fight a girl. I summon Burstinatrix!" Juu: "Burstinatrix, it's up to you!" Burst: "What a wretched state. To be led astray by a mere girl like her..." Juu: "Burstinatrix is more intimidating than usual." Juu: "I activate Burst Return! I can activate this card when Burstinatrix is on my side of the field!" Juu: "I return Elemental HEROs Avian and Sparkman to my hand." Avian: "What have we been doing?!" Spark: "Falling head over heels for a girl!" Avian: "It's unbecoming of a hero!" Burst: "Come back already, you two." Both: "Yes, ma'am!" Juu: "The bonds between heroes are stronger than your little love play." Juu: "Now I activate Polymerization!" Juu: "I fuse Burstinatrix and Avian, to summon Flame Wingman!" Juu: "Go! Flame Shoot!" Juu: "Gotcha! Rei, that was a fun duel." Rei: "Judai... I..." Juu: "Hey, now... Don't say anything. There's a guy who's been watching us this whole time. Why don't you tell him?" Asu: "Your turn." Asu: "It's a man's responsibility, right?" Rei: "Dearest Ryo..." Rei: "I'm sorry. I'm the one who sneaked into your room this afternoon... Judai was only trying to stop me." Ryo: "I know." Rei: "Ever since you graduated to Duel Academia, I've been wanting to see you so much." Rei: "I lost my duel with Judai, but I won't lose to anyone for your love!" Rei: "Please accept a maiden's earnest feelings!" Juu: "Look, even the Kaiser flinches! But wow, that's some pressure she's applying." Rei: "This isn't a duel!" Asu: "That's right." Asu: "Earnest feeling are a wonderful thing. But as you said just now," Asu: "Love, like a duel, must blossom from the feelings of two people" Rei: "Just what are you to Ryo?!" Rei: "A rival for his affections?" Asu: "N-No..." Ryo: "Rei... I'm happy you feel this way." Rei: "Dearest Ryo!" Ryo: "But right now, dueling is everything to me." Rei: "Dearest Ryo..." Ryo: "Rei... Go home." Juu: "There's no reason to go that far! Obelisk Blue has a girls' dorm. If we could get her in there..." Ryo: "Rei can't stay here." Juu: "Huh? Does Rei have another secret? She's dressed up as a girl, dressing as a guy..." Juu: "But she's actually really a guy?" Ryo: "Rei is only in fifth grade." Juu: "What the heck? An elementary school kid gave me that much trouble?" Rei: "Sorry. Gotcha! It was a fun duel!" Juu: "That was great!" Sho: "Bye-bye!" Rei: "When I graduate from elementary school next year, I'll take the test and get in!" Juu: "You heard her." Ryo: "But by then, I'll be gone." Juu: "Well, I can't beat her pressure." Rei: "Wait for me, darling Judai!" Juu: "Wh-Why me?" Asu: "Maybe she fell in love with your dueling." Ryo: "The rest is up to you." Sho: "Well, Bro, we're heading home." Hay: "Stay here and see her off, okay?" Asu: "You've got to watch over her until the boat's out of sight." Rei: "Wait for me! You'd better!" Juu: "No... No way..." Juu: "Hey, there's a student here who looks like an old guy." Sho: "He isn't an old man. He's Mr. Kunisaki, and he's in our dorm." Juu: "We have a guy like that here?" Sho: "Anyway, you get to fight Misawa, to decide who represents the school!" Juu: "I'll get to see Misawa's seventh deck! I can't wait!" Sho: "We're all gonna cheer you on!" Juu: "Yeah! You watch, too, Mr. Kunisaki!" Sho: "But where'd he go, anyway?" Juu: "Just you wait, Misawa!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Sealed Fusion! Judai Versus Misawa (Part 1)."

Man: "Wretched Cronos..." Man: "Wretched Daichi Misawa..." Man: "Wretched Judai Yuki!" Juu: "Gotcha! That was a fun duel!" Man: "Shut up! You had fun because you won! You can't make me enjoy it." Juu: "I wasn't trying to..." Man: "If we fight..." Man: "If we fight one more time, I know... I will win!" Juu: "Sounds great... You're raring to go." Man: "Hey!" Man: "That's the last of this water." Juu: "Hey, Manjome, come back already." Juu: "Come duel with me!" Man: "Shut up!" Light: "Bro! Bro!" Light: "Bro! Bro! Notice me already..." Light: "Bro!" Light: "Hey, Bro, come on!" Hermit: "Awake?" Man: "Where am I? In the belly of a whale?" Man: "Wh-Who are you? Who?" Hermit: "My name doesn't matter." Man: "Those cards... Is that my deck? Return them, you kelp monster." Hermit: "Sorry, but they're soaked through. Totally unusable." Man: "You old man..." Hermit: "That card is a present from me." Man: "A present?" Hermit: "Hey, what are you doing? If you toss that away card, you'll regret it." Man: "What are you talking about?" Hermit: "In your sleep, you kept muttering, "I want to be strong. I want to be strong."" Man: "Muttering in my sleep? Me?" Hermit: "I heard talk of Crono-something, Misawa, and Judai, or something like that." Man: "Behavior unbecoming of me..." Hermit: "Do you really want to become strong?" Juu: "Didn't I tell you? The #1 in this school is me!" Man: "Of course I do!" Hermit: "Are you prepared to put in the work?" Man: "Work? Who do you think you're talking to?" Man: "I am Jun Manjome... You'll call me "Manjome, sir"!" Hermit: "You dislike work, but you want to become strong. A truly astonishing attitude. Ah, well. You seem to have a power others lack..." Hermit: "I'll take you to a place you'll like." Hermit: "Hang in there!" Man: "That blasted kelp monster... Treating me so recklessly!" Man: "Exactly where am I? What's that building?" Man: "That old man wants to test me, does he? Very well... But don't underestimate Jun Manjome." Man: "Open up!" Gai: "It's futile." Gai: "This is Duel Academia North... That gate won't open unless you have forty cards." Man: "This is Academia North?" Man: "I lost my deck on the way here." Gai: "The gate won't open unless you have forty cards. That's the condition for entrance." Gai: "But there is a way to get inside. In the area surrounding the school, there are cards hidden in crevices and caves. You need to find those. If you can't, you'll end up like me." Man: "Then what's that?" Gai: "This deck has only thirty-nine cards." Gai: "Collecting this many took the last of my stamina and willpower." Man: "In other words, you're a mere drop-out. In that case, old man, sell me your cards." Gai: "N-No! These are the proof that I'm alive! Are you trying to take that from me?" Man: "Fine, then... I'll do it myself." Gai: "Be careful!" Man: "Watch me, Judai..." Man: "I won't drop out, no matter what!" Man: "Are you still here, old man?" Gai: "You're back! Did you collect forty cards?" Man: "Yes..." Gai: "I see, then you'll be passing through that gate! I'm so glad... Ever since you left, I've been regretting it!" Man: "Regretting what?" Gai: "I should have just given you my cards! You're young. You shouldn't have to turn out like me!" Gai: "But you made it back safely." Gai: "Now, go... The gate will open for you." Man: "Old man, you're coming in with me." Man: "I'm going to give you one card." Man: "Then you'll have forty cards, right?" Gai: "Wh-What?" Man: "I collected forty-one of them." Man: "This is a card I don't need for my deck." Gai: "Aren't you going to give it to me?" Man: "Wh-What? My hand's moving on its own..." Ojama: "Hey, hey, Bro..." Man: "Wh-What are you?" Gai: "Is something wrong?" Man: "You can't see it?" Gai: "See what?" Ojama: "You're the only one who can see me, Bro!" Man: "What?" Ojama: "Come on, don't give me away to someone else." Man: "So annoying!" Ojama: "I'm begging you... I have brothers. Help me find them!" Man: "Um, I was giving you a card, wasn't I? Here." Gai: "Th-Thank you. Ah... What is your name?" Man: "My name is Manjome. Jun Manjome. You go on ahead, old man." Man: "I'm tired." Gai: "Oh, Manjome, sir... You're so kind!" Man: "Shut up! You'd better go fast, or I'll take my card back!" Gai: "E-Excuse me, then. I'll be waiting for you inside!" Man: "Damn, I'm one card short again..." Juu: "Hey, you're a nice guy—" Man: "Shut up!" Man: "This is..." Man: "Look closely! I have forty cards!" Man: "This is..." Man: "Duel Academia..." Man: "North?" Man: "Hey, old man! What happened?" Gai: "Manjome, sir..." Edo: "Just welcoming the new student." Edo: "Welcome to Duel Academia North." Man: "Who are you?" Edo: "I'm the student council president." Edo: "New students here must be welcomed, in accordance with our custom." Man: "Custom?" Edo: "We call it the Fifty-Man Duel of Death. At this school, power is everything." Ao: "We have a strict ranking system." Ki: "New students fight up the ranks, from the lowest student." Midori: "Whomever you lose to... That's your rank." Aka: "If you can beat all fifty..." Edo: "...you get to fight me." Zako: "This guy lost in the first duel. In other words, he gets the lowest rank. That means we get to push him around." Man: "I haven't dueled in a while myself!" Man: "I'd like to show off my skills." Zako: "Then I'll be your first opponent, scum!" Man: "Not "scum"! My name is one! Ten! Hundred! Thousand!" Man: ""Manjome, sir"!" Man: "My turn! Limiter Removal!" Man: "KA-2 Des Scissors attacks! Nano Poison!" Zako: "I'm next!" Aka: "Damn you..." Ao: "We are this school's four heavenly lords!" Ki: "We won't let you lay a finger on King!" Mido: "We'll teach you a lesson!" Man: "Fighting you separately will take too long. Come at me, the four of you together." ur: "Here we come!" ve: "Duel!" Aka: "My turn! I summon Marauding Captain!" Aka: "Its effect activates. When I successfully summon this card," Aka: "Come out, Marauding Captain!" Ao: "My turn!" Ki: "My turn!" Mido: "My turn!" Aka: "When there are two or more Marauding Captains on the field," Ao: "Did you see that?" Ki: "We're going to make mincemeat of you!" Man: "When you summon so many of the same type," Man: "My turn. Draw! I set two cards and summon Giant Rat in defense position!" Midori: "You think you can defend against us with a small card like that?" Man: "It's very clear to me how the four of you duel." Man: "When I was surviving by gathering cards, I thought it through..." Man: "All the various scenarios you could create with a limited hand." Man: "And the various strategies to break through them." Ojama: "Cool! Hey, Bro, you're talking about me, right?" Man: "Stop talking nonsense... Duels are still about power!" Man: "What I learned was that small monsters can still be useful in their own way!" Aka: "What are you whining about to yourself? It's my turn! I activate my spell card The A. Forces! It increases a Warrior-Type Monster's attack points by 200 for every Warrior-Type Monster on the field!" Aka: "Consequently, Marauding Captain's attack points become 2800." Aka: "Goodbye, small monster!" Ao: "Everyone! Charge him all together!" Man: "Giant Rat's effect activates! It lets me Special Summon one Earth Attribute Monster with 1500 attack points or fewer from my deck!" Man: "I choose to summon Gyaku-Gire Panda!" Ki: "Only 800 attack points. That's no problem." Man: "Gyaku-Gire Panda's effect activates! For every monster on your side of the field, its attack points increase by 500." Man: "Consequently, its attack points are 4800!" Man: "And I also activate my trap card Ring of Destruction! This trap destroys one monster" Mido: "You... You plan to destroy yourself to take us out?" Man: "No..." Man: "Quick-Play Spell Ring of Defense!" Man: "This protects me from all damage." Man: "Three... Two... One... Zero!" Man: "Now, you're the only one left!" Edo: "I'm impressed that you made it through." Edo: "I praise your willpower and stamina, climbing all this way. But in coming this far, you've revealed too much of your hand. It's time I put you in your place." Juu: "Wow, he looks strong... You gonna be okay, Manjome?" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir."" Both: "Duel!" Edo: "My turn. I activate my spell Fiend's Sanctuary twice." Edo: "I summon two Metal Fiend Tokens." Edo: "Then I tribute the two of them to summon Zoa!" Edo: "Now I set two more cards and end my turn." Edo: "Well? Yield before me, Manjome!" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir."" Man: "You again?!" Ojama: "Bro, this guy looks too tough... Why not just stay #2, huh?" Man: "Shut up! Stop whining and come fight! I summon this small monster!" Ojama: "Jeez..." Man: "I also set two cards and end my turn!" Edo: "It's clear to me that you have only small monsters in your hand. My turn. Allow me to give you a further glimpse of hell. I activate my trap Metalmorph! Then, with Metalmorph equipped, I tribute Zoa," Edo: "to summon Metalzoa!" Edo: "It isn't over yet!" Edo: "I also activate my trap card Call of the Haunted." Edo: "It enables me to summon one monster from the graveyard." Edo: "And naturally, I choose..." Juu: "Wow... Monsters with 2600 and 3000 attack points? What are you gonna do, Manjome?" Man: "Interesting." Edo: "You see that?" Edo: "Having seen your deck's secrets gives me an overwhelming advantage." Man: "This guy... But there's a combo I haven't shown yet." Edo: "Take this! Zoa's attack, Devil X-Scissors!" Ojama: "I hate you, Bro!" Edo: "Now your defense monster is gone. Take this! Metalzoa's attack! Metal X-Scissors!" Edo: "Your life is hanging by a thread now. This match is decided." Man: "Is that so?" Man: "I've been waiting for that attack..." Man: "I activate my spell card Inferno Tempest. When I take 3000 or more damage," Edo: "All monsters from our graveyards and decks?" Man: "If you already know everything I have," Edo: "You fool... Are you forfeiting the match? I still have monsters with attack points of 3000 and 2600 on my side of the field." Edo: "If you can't defeat them, you've lost, Manjome!" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir"! It's my turn! Draw! You'll regret challenging the great Jun Manjome to a fight, you scum... I activate my spell card Chaos End!" Edo: "What's wrong, Zoa?" Man: "When I have seven or more cards banished from the game," Edo: "What?" Man: "Now, I activate my trap Return from the Different Dimension! This card allows me to pay half my life points as a cost" Man: "Come forth, my monsters!" Ojama: "I'm back!" Man: "Get lost, 0 attack points." Edo: "N-No! That's impossible!" Man: "Take this... All-out attack!" Voice: "It seems we have a new King." Man: "You..." Man: "You're that kelp monster I met inside the whale." Ichi: "I am Headmaster Ichinose." Man: "Old man... What is the meaning of this?" Ichi: "Calm down. I'll explain the whole thing. First, what swallowed you wasn't a whale," Man: "A submarine?" Ichi: "The card I gave you sensed you drifting out there, so I saved you." Man: "Stop talking nonsense!" Ichi: "Well, as you wish. But now that you are the new King," Ichi: "For our interschool match with Duel Academia Main." Ichi: "Interschool match with Duel Academia?" Ichi: "That's right..." Man: "You... You knew from the start that I'd become King here?" Ichi: "Didn't I tell you?" Man: "What's the one I'm fighting named?" Ichi: "Something Yuki?" Man: "Yuki? Judai Yuki?" Ichi: "Yes, yes! That's him!" Man: "Judai..." Man: "I'm going to get another chance to fight him, am I?" Sho: "The interschool match is finally here, huh?" Juu: "My Elemental HEROs are ready and raring to go!" Sho: "Those are the guys from North?" Juu: "Who am I fighting?" Sho: "Manjome?! But he feels a lot different than before. Like he's gotten scarier or more amazing..." Juu: "My heart is pounding!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Versus Manjome Thunder (Part 1) The Threat of Armed Dragon."

Sho: "Bro!" Man: "This is the end! Armed Dragon LV7, attack him directly. Armed Vanisher!" Juu: "I activate my trap! Hero Spirit!" Man: "What? What happened? What protected him?" Juu: "If an Elemental HERO has been destroyed by battle," Man: "Your tactics are as underhanded as ever! Ah, well... It doesn't change my advantage." Man: "No one can beat my Armed Dragon LV7." Man: "I end my turn!" Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "Great job, pal." Juu: "I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense position!" Juu: "I end my turn." Man: "As usual, you flee. What good is something like that supposed to do you?" Man: "I see he has quite a temper, at least." Ojama: "But hey, Bro, he might know something about my brothers. Come on... Let me into the duel, so I can ask him!" Man: "Shut up. This duel is important. There's no place for you in it." Ojama: "Don't be like that, Bro!" Juu: "What's that?" Juu: "You're right!" Juu: "Hey, Manjome! What's that?" Man: "O-Oh, no... Get back in there." Man: "My turn! Draw!" Man: "You're a small monster, with no value as an attacker." Man: "Armed Dragon LV7, Armed Vanisher!" Man: "I end my turn!" Sho: "Huh? Why didn't Manjome use his monster's effect?" Mis: "Winged Kuriboh's effect means that he couldn't deal damage to Judai this turn, anyway." Asu: "The ability to survive to the very last... It looks like Judai hasn't used up all his luck yet." Juu: "My turn." Juu: "I activate my spell card Pot of Greed! I now draw two more cards from my deck." Juu: "Draw! And... One more card!" Juu: "I've got it! This is the card I've been waiting for, the card that will turn things around!" Man: "What?" Juu: "I discard one card from my hand, and activate my spell card Special Hurricane!" Man: "What?" Juu: "This is the card that can destroy your leveled-up monster." Man: "That isn't possible..." Juu: "In exchange for discarding one card," Hay: "Great one, Judai! The higher a monster's level is," Mis: "Of course. And he used that to turn the tables." Sho: "He did it!" Sho: "Now things are working in Bro's favor!" Juu: "I summon my Elemental HERO Wildheart! Come out, Wildheart!" Juu: "Go, Wildheart! Attack Manjome... uh, Thunder, directly!" Juu: "Wild Slash!" Ichi: "Pathetic..." Same: "It seems the victor's prize could still go either way again! Eh, Headmaster Ichinose?" Ichi: "Stand! Stand up, Thunder!" All: "Stand, Thunder!" Cho: "Darn it... What does Jun think he's doing? Why won't he use the cards we prepared for him?!" Man: "M-My... turn." Man: "Draw! I activate my spell card The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension! This card lets me return two monsters with "LV" in their names from my graveyard to my deck, and then shuffle." Man: "I return these cards... Armed Dragon LV3 and LV7! And I summon Armed Dragon LV3 in defense position. Come out, Armed Dragon LV3!" Man: "I set one card and end my turn!" Ichi: "There, you see that?" Sho: "He summoned a monster right to his field..." Mis: "But to call out Armed Dragon again... I'm starting to see Manjome's pattern." Mis: "Has he gotten impatient?" Man: "Don't look at me that way, Brothers." Sho: "You're the underachiever in our family!" Cho: "You'd better not lose!" Man: "Brothers..." Juu: "Manjome? What are you..." Juu: "Those are Manjome's older brothers." Juu: "That reminds me..." Man: "You're wrong! I'm not our family's underachiever..." Man: "No one understands the burden I bear!" Man: "They just tell me to win... Always to win!" Juu: "He wasn't talking about the pressure of being the school representative." Juu: "But from his brothers." Sho: "Bro... Bro!" Sho: "What's with Bro? Why is he spacing out? Aren't you enjoying the duel, Bro?" Juu: "The duel?" Juu: "That's right! There's more to a duel than winning and losing. And it isn't something you fight for other people. Duels are something you do because they're fun, Manjome!" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir"!" Crowd: "Thunder! Thunder! Manjome Thunder!" Juu: "Let's go. My turn! Wildheart, attack Armed Dragon LV3!" Juu: "Wild Slash!" Man: "I activate my trap The Grave of Enkindling! When a monster is destroyed by battle," Man: "I choose to Special Summon Armed Dragon LV5!" Sho: "But The Grave of Enkindling's effect should make it impossible" Mis: "But even if it's in defense position, he can use LV5's powerful effect. All the monsters in Judai's graveyard have low attack points." Mis: "He can destroy quite a few of them with LV5's effect alone." Man: "Now, you summon a monster from your graveyard, too!" Juu: "Next turn, Manjome plans to turn it into Armed Dragon LV7." Juu: "Then I'll have to settle the match here!" Man: "But no matter what card you put out, it can't exceed the power of mine." Mis: "No, he's right." Juu: "I Special Summon Hero Kid from my graveyard!" Man: "What?" Sho: "Hero Kid?" Man: "When did that get in there?" Juu: "You remember... I discard one card from my hand, and activate my spell card Special Hurricane!" Man: "It was then." Juu: "Yeah. And when I successfully Special Summon this card," Juu: "I summon two more Hero Kids!" Juu: "Then I set one more card and end my turn!" Man: "It doesn't matter how many small cards you summon. For this turn, Armed Dragon will evolve to Level 7!" Sho: "But how?" Same: "Mr. Manjome intends to make Armed Dragon evolve?" Man: "My turn. Draw. I activate my spell card Level Up!" Juu: "What?" Same: "Level Up!" Man: "This card allows a monster on the field to level up, ignoring its usual level-up conditions." Man: "Come out, Armed Dragon LV7!" Cho: "Jun..." Ichi: "Manjome!" Ryo: "Not good. Manjome intends to destroy all Judai's monsters again." All: "Thunder! Thunder!" All: "Manjome Thunder!" Man: "I won't lose to you, no matter what. Judai! I must defeat you!" Sho: "Armed Dragon is back again!" Dir: "Get this on camera! We're reaching the climax!" Man: "Don't be too shocked yet, Judai. I also activate my Equip Spell Armed Changer from my hand." Man: "I activate this card by sending an Equip Spell from my hand to the graveyard!" Man: "Equip! Armed Changer!" Man: "Crush Wildheart! Armed Vanisher!" Man: "My Equip Spell's effect activates. When one of your monsters is destroyed by battle," Man: "I add Masked Dragon to my hand. Then, in order to activate Armed Dragon LV7's effect," Cho: "That means..." Ryo: "Masked Dragon's attack points are 1400. He can destroy all the monsters with fewer than that." Man: "Genocide Cutter!" Sho: "Bro's monsters are all destroyed again..." Man: "There's no way you can beat my Armed Dragon. Judai, before you embarrass yourself on live television, I'll give you a chance to surrender!" Sho: "S-Surrender?" Same: "Impossible! Judai would never..." Juu: "Give me a break." Juu: "I could never surrender. Right now, my heart is seriously pounding! Because next turn, I'm gonna make a miracle happen." Man: "What?" Juu: "One way or another, next turn will be my final draw." Juu: "But I wish I could have fought more of the serious Manjome... uh, Thunder." Man: "Are you saying I'm not serious?" Juu: "Yeah. Because you weren't really looking at me. You seemed to be fighting another enemy." Juu: "Next time, let's have a duel we can both enjoy more." Man: "A duel we can enjoy?" Juu: "Because dueling is super fun, isn't it?" Man: "Dueling is fun?" Juu: "Yeah! Dueling gets your heart racing. Especially when the allies you trust have your back." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I activate my spell card The Warrior Returning Alive from my hand!" Juu: "I can choose one Warrior-Type Monster from my graveyard and add it to my hand. And I choose..." Juu: "Elemental HERO Avian! And I fuse Avian and Burstinatrix in my hand!" Juu: "Come out, Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!" Man: "Fool! What do you gain by summoning something like that?" Man: "My Armed Dragon LV7's attack points are 2800! You can't beat it!" Juu: "No, my sure-kill combo is complete!" Man: "What?" Juu: "Here I go! I activate my trap! Miracle Kids! This card can reduce one of your monsters' attack points" Juu: "That means your Armed Dragon LV7's attack points go down by 1200!" Juu: "Time for me to win! Go, Flame Wingman!" Juu: "Flame Shoot!" Dir: "Not good! Cut! Cut!" Weather: "We interrupt this program to bring you today's weather. Today and tomorrow will be mostly clear or rainy." Sho: "All right! Flame Wingman beat Armed Dragon!" Mis: "Flame Wingman's effect is" Asu: "Manjome's life points are 1600." Juu: "Gotcha!" Cho: "Jun, what do you think you're doing? Do you understand what you've done?" Sho: "You've disgraced the Manjome family!" Man: "I'm sorry, my brothers..." Sho: "Hey! What happened to the cards we gave you?!" Cho: "Why didn't you use them?! If you had, you could have built a stronger deck!" Man: "I... I wanted to win with my own deck—" Sho: "You stupid little brother!" Cho: "That's why we call you the underachiever of the family!" Juu: "Stop it, you guys!" Juu: "I've had enough of this. Manjome fought his heart out!" Cho: "We don't need outsiders butting into our family affairs." Juu: "If you're family, you shouldn't treat him that way!" Juu: "My duel with Manjome... with Thunder... forced me to give everything I had!" Sho: "We don't care what happened in the interim. All that matters is the final result!" Cro: "Yes, yes. The final result is important." Cro: "Yet they do still grate on my nerves." Cho: "In our family, results are the most important thing. Results are everything! Victory is everything! After all, how much money do you think we poured into this duel?" Sho: "You've disgraced us!" Juu: "But he beat you..." Juu: "Thunder wasn't just fighting the duel. He was fighting for his life, against the ridiculous pressure you put on him! And even though he suffered, Thunder beat you two!" Cro: "That is right. To be precise... Shaved ice!" Cro: "But no one asked me..." Juu: "The meaning of a duel goes beyond victory and defeat. It's about teaching us more important things!" Man: "Shut up, Judai!" Juu: "Manjome..." Man: "Don't make me look any more pathetic than I already do." Cho: "Jun..." Man: "Brothers, go home." All: "Yeah! Go home! Manjome Thunder! You fought well!" All: "That's our Thunder! Manjome Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!" Cho: "I'm disappointed in you, Jun! Let's go, Shoji!" All: "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!" Man: "Brothers..." Sho: "You're leaving, huh?" Juu: "Take care, Manjome." Juu: "Let's duel again sometime!" Man: "No... I'm not returning to Academia North." Man: "I still have things left to do here." Edo: "Things left to do?" Man: "Edogawa, I return your title of "King."" Edo: "R-Return it? Thunder!" Man: "Headmaster, you heard me. I'll be imposing on you again." Same: "Of course. After all, you were one of our students from the beginning." Ichi: "But in that case, the cards our school has handed down—" Cro: "Now, now, now! As there is still time before the boat sets out I would like to hold the award ceremony! And the one presenting the prize will be... Miss Duel Academia!" Juu: "Who's Miss Duel Academia?" Sho: "We have someone like that?" Cro: "Come out!" Juu: "It's a monster of make-up!" Cro: "Now, let the winning headmaster step forward." Juu: "We were fighting over something like this?" Ichi: "Manjome! Become stronger!" Man: "Headmaster..." Ichi: "Damn! I forgot to tell him to return the Armed Dragons." Edo: "Th-The Headmaster's crying!" Ao: "It's time for manly tears!" All: "Manjome Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!" Same: "Are you sure this is what you want?" Man: "Of course." Same: "But..." Dai: "Even if you're staying here, Manjome Thunder, you still missed three months of class. As an Obelisk Blue, you won't be able to advance. If you want to advance," Man: "What? Me, a Slifer Red? You mean, like these..." Sho: "Looks like we're gonna be dorm-mates!" Man: "Shut up!" Juu: "I look forward to spending time with you, dorm-mate." Man: "I refuse!" Man: "Why do I have to hang out with them?" Juu: "Hey, let's celebrate Manjome joining our dorm!" Man: "Don't decide these things without me!" All: "One! Ten! Hundred!" Juu: "Thousand!" All: "Manjome Thunder! Manjome Thunder!" Juu: "Good to have you, Manjome!" Man: "I can't believe this." All: "Thunder! Thunder!" Juu: "Lunchboxes, sweets, and candy..." Sho: "Bro, what are you doing?" Juu: "Okay! Let's head out and explore some ruins!" Sho: "Huh? Ruins? We have those on this island?" Juu: "Apparently, they've got a big tomb and a dueling field. I just can't wait!" Sho: "I've got a bad feeling about this." Juu: "That's an ancient ruin for you! Green sky, three suns in the sky..." Sho: "Where are we?! Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Extracurricular Class Is a Dark Duel?! (Part 1)"

Juu: "When Wroughtweiler is sent to the graveyard," Chief: "The power of Necrovalley forbids the graveyard's disturbance!" Juu: "What? He has two monsters on his side of the field, while mine's wide open..." Chief: "Nothing more to say, eh?" Chief: "It is fate that every one of you will sleep eternally in this tomb." Juu: "If I lose, everyone... Everyone will die!" Asu: "Judai..." Sho: "Bro!" Hay: "Judai!" Both: "Keep fighting!" Dai: "Judai Yuki, this dark duel will allow me to see all the power hidden within you." Dai: "I can't see with the lid in the way!" Juu: "My turn. Draw!" Juu: "Winged Kuriboh... Are you encouraging me?" Juu: "Don't worry. "Surrender" isn't in my dictionary." Juu: "I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense position!" Juu: "Wait for me, everyone." Juu: "I end my turn!" Chief: "You do not seem to have grasped your situation. Winged Kuriboh may be a troublesome monster that can reduce the battle damage you take to 0," Chief: "But all it does is prolong your life by a mere one turn." Juu: "No need to worry." Juu: "Well, just watch." Chief: "You are a disagreeable one. My turn. Draw!" Chief: "Gravekeeper's Assailant, attack Winged Kuriboh!" Juu: "I don't think so! I activate my Quick-Play Spell Transcendent Wings! By tributing two cards from my hand, I make Winged Kuriboh transcend his limitations. Winged Kuriboh LV10!" Chief: "I had a feeling you might do this. Such a transparent combo will not work in a dark duel such as this!" Chief: "I activate Gravekeeper's Watcher from my hand!" Juu: "What?" Juu: "What's wrong, Winged Kuriboh?" Chief: "You even discarded cards from your hand to activate the effect," Chief: "By sending Gravekeeper's Watcher to the graveyard," Chief: "Resume battle! Go, Gravekeeper's Assailant! Assassin Blade!" Juu: "Thanks, Winged Kuriboh..." Sho: "Bro's big turnaround combo!" Hay: "There's a silver lining, though. Winged Kuriboh's monster effect means that Judai doesn't take any battle damage." Asu: "It's true that he didn't lose any life points," Chief: "Now, the small monster is gone. What do you intend to do? I set one card on my field and end my turn." Juu: "You're going to pay for calling my friend "small"!" Chief: "And just how do you intend to make me pay?" Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I activate Pot of Greed!" Juu: "Its effect lets me draw two cards." Juu: "I summon Dark Catapulter in defense position!" Juu: "And I activate my spell card Mirage of Nightmare!" Juu: "Then I set three cards on the field." Juu: "Things are going my way now. I'll use Dark Catapulter to destroy Necrovalley, then use Mirage of Nightmare to find a path to victory." Juu: "I end my turn." Chief: "My turn. Draw." Juu: "Mirage of Nightmare's effect activates! During your Standby Phase, I draw until I have four cards in my hand." Juu: "Okay..." Chief: "It seems you have drawn some good cards. But I shall teach you how pointless such elation is in a dark duel." Juu: "What's he going to do?" Chief: "I tribute Gravekeeper's Watcher to summon myself!" Juu: "Summon himself?" Chief: "Necrovalley's power increases my attack points by 500!" Chief: "As long as I am on the field, my graveyard is unaffected by Necrovalley. And I can Special Summon one "Gravekeeper's" card from my graveyard!" Juu: "What?" Chief: "Come out, Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier!" Chief: "And I activate my trap card Rite of Spirit." Chief: "It lets me Special Summon one more "Gravekeeper's"!" Juu: "Another one?" Chief: "Be reborn, Gravekeeper's Curse. When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned," Chief: "Do you see now how terrifying a dark duel can be?" Juu: "Th-This is a real dark duel..." Chief: "As your life points decline," Sho: "No!" Juu: "This isn't good..." Juu: "But if I can just get through this turn, victory will be mine!" Chief: "Dueling skill aside," Juu: "For my friends' sake, I can't lose. And I have a big dream, to become King of Duelists! My idol, Yugi Muto, also won his way through many dark duels! I won't let something like this beat me!" Chief: "To battle, Gravekeeper's Assailant! The effect of Necrovalley" Chief: "Gravekeeper's Assailant's effect switches Dark Catapulter's battle position! You will not survive this attack." Chief: "What's wrong, Gravekeeper's Assailant?" Chief: "Finish him!" Juu: "I activate my Quick-Play Spell Emergency Provisions! By sending a spell or trap card on my field to the graveyard," Chief: "Gravekeeper's Assailant," Chief: "Assassin Blade!" Juu: "I can't stand people who don't treat their teammate monsters well!" Chief: "Impertinent boy. But it matters not, since you have only a little life remaining." Chief: "And I shall personally finish you off." Chief: "Fall to ruin! Royal Rage!" Juu: "I activate my trap card Draining Shield!" Chief: "What?" Juu: "It negates one opponent monster's attack," Chief: "Direct attack! Go!" Chief: "Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier!" Juu: "Now, Gravekeeper's Curse," Dai: "I can't see! I can't move! I'm scared!" Chief: "Direct attack! Go!" Chief: "Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier!" Juu: "Now, the Chant of Destruction." Chief: "Do you see now the true terror of a dark duel? You seem to have even lost the will to continue dueling." Juu: "Whew! You had me in a cold sweat there!" Chief: "Then you do have a few remaining life points? But no chance of victory remains for you!" Juu: "Come on, I made it through that turn." Juu: "Now I just need to take my victory." Chief: "Then let me break even your hope of that! I activate my spell card Royal Tribute from my hand!" Chief: "This card can be activated when Necrovalley is on the field. Both of us discard all of the monster cards in our hands." Juu: "Guys!" Chief: "Now you and your friends will be buried in this world for eternity!" Juu: "The only card left in my hand is my spell card The Warrior Returning Alive. And I can't use it because of Necrovalley..." Juu: "Everything rides on this draw. My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I did it! If I use Bladedge, I can break through his lines." Chief: "Did you draw a high-level monster? But you have no monsters to sacrifice as tributes." Juu: "He's right. I need two tributes to summon Bladedge. And I don't have anything to tribute..." Chief: "That smile... Does it mean you have conceded and chosen surrender?" Juu: "What do you think?" Juu: "Necrovalley... It's sacred ground, protected by the Gravekeepers. Here, on sacred ground, spells that reach into the afterlife lose effect." Chief: "If you realize that, cease your struggles," Juu: "But I don't think that's what the monsters in the afterlife want." Chief: "What?" Juu: "Even if magic used on sacred ground won't reach the afterlife," Chief: "Impossible!" Juu: "Necrovalley is a Field Spell that seals the use of spell, trap," Juu: "But it doesn't seal the effects of monsters already in the graveyard." Chief: "Then let me break even your hope of that! I activate my spell card Royal Tribute from my hand!" Chief: "This card can be activated when Necrovalley is on the field. Both of us discard all of the monster cards in our hands." Juu: "That's right. It's all because you used Royal Tribute" Juu: "When Elemental HERO Necroshade is in the graveyard, I can, just once, summon a monster with "Elemental HERO" in the name without a tribute." Juu: "Using Necroshade's monster effect, I summon Elemental HERO Bladedge." Chief: "What?" Juu: "I attack Gravekeeper's Curse with Bladedge. Power Edge Attack!" Juu: "Gotcha!" Assailant: "Chief!" Others: "Chief!" Assailant: "Chief!" Juu: "Are you okay, mister?" Chief: "Stop!" Chief: "Boy... You fought a fine duel..." Juu: "Not at all! You did crazy great, too! It really was a fun duel." Chief: "What?" Juu: "Well, you know... I got to fight real spirits. It was amazing! Kinda hurt, though." Juu: "You, and you, and you..." Juu: "And of course, you were great, too!" Chief: "Only one person has ever passed this trial before." Chief: "But he did not have the peace of mind to enjoy the duel..." Chief: "Take this." Juu: "You're giving it to me?" Juu: "But it's only a half?" Chief: "The other half is possessed by the man who previously passed this trial. The next time you are forced to fight a dark duel," Chief: "that item will surely give you strength." Juu: "Thanks, I'll treasure it!" Sho: "S-So bright!" Hay: "We're gonna make it back alive!" Asu: "Judai... Then, he won!" Sho: "Bro!" Dai: "I knew you could do it, my Slifer Red student!" Juu: "What does that mean, Instructor Daitokuji?" Dai: "W-Well, y-you know... When it comes to extraordinary duels one stakes one's life on," Dai: "That's what I was thinking!" Chief: "Now, you should return to your own world with your friends." Juu: "But how do we get back to our world?" Chief: "Before the three lights of the sky overlap as one, and before the curtain of light appears, you must depart through the gate of the royal tomb." Chief: "What are you doing?" Sold: "We are here to punish those who would rob the royal tomb! Punish! Punish!" Chief: "Enough! This boy has undertaken the ceremony, in accordance with the law," Sold: "Punish! Punish!" Sold: "Punish! Punish! Punish!" Asu: "Judai!" Juu: "You're..." Sara: "I am sorry. I am Gravekeeper's Assailant." Sara: "I could not disobey the orders of Gravekeeper's Chief." Juu: "I see..." Sho: "Bro, when did you have time to befriend such a pretty lady?" Juu: "This is not the time!" Sara: "When you return to your world," Sara: ""Even if Sara is in another world, she has not forgotten you. She believes that, someday, she will see you again."" Juu: "Oh, you didn't mean me?" Sho: "Take your own advice." Sara: "Stay where you are!" Sara: "Have you forgotten your duty as guards of the sacred ground?" Sara: "If you attempt to lay a hand on them, I shall show you no mercy!" Sara: "This is your chance." Juu: "Right... But where do we go?" Sara: "Your friend will tell you that." Juu: "Winged Kuriboh!" Juu: "Okay! Let's go, everyone!" Dai: "Right..." Juu: "Thanks!" Dai: "Hurry!" Juu: "The three lights overlap..." Juu: "The gate of the royal tomb..." Juu: "There it is! Hurry, everyone!" Juu: "Hayato! You okay?" Hay: "I don't think so..." Hay: "The suns became one, and the curtain of light appeared." Juu: "Damn..." Hay: "Hurry! Hurry up and get out!" Juu: "What are you talking about? We can't leave you behind!" Hay: "Judai..." Juu: "Wow! Cool!" Juu: "Guys!" Juu: "Was it all just a dream?" Juu: "This is..." Juu: "Then it wasn't a dream!" Juu: "The dark duel... The world of the spirits... It all really happened!" Sho: "Bro got called to the headmaster's office?" Juu: "No way!" Sho: "Then why did he call you?" Juu: "Uh, it was something about three cards and seven keys... Something about a challenge... Uh, what was it again?" Juu: "I don't get it. But anyway, look at this pendant!" Sho: "It's shining!" Juu: "Not that... Hey, why is it shining?" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Versus Darkness (Part 1) Red-Eyes B. Dragon's Challenge."

Man: "It's unreasonable! It's been two months since I moved to this dorm. In a room this small, my precious... furniture, paintings, antiques..." Man: "None of it will fit! It's small... It's too small!" Man: "It's too small for anything!" Yel: "Hey, Bro! Find my brothers already, please!" Man: "Shut up! I have no use for your stupid brothers!" Man: "Damn you!" Man: "It's his fault I ended up in this position to begin with!" Juu: "Whose fault?" Man: "Don't you people ever knock?" Sho: "But the door we'd need to knock on is over there." Both: "Right?" Man: "Damn it." Juu: "This is cool, though..." Man: "Don't enter without asking!" Juu: "This bed is like a trampoline!" Sho: "It's so fun!" Man: "Don't jump on it! What do you two want?" Juu: "Oh!" Sho: "The headmaster..." Juu: "...is calling you!" Juu: "It's an emergency, and you're the only one he can ask." Man: "Emergency?" Sho: "Yeah! An emergency!" Man: "How long are you two going to keep doing this?" Same: "I've been waiting, Mr. Manjome." Man: "What is it, Headmaster? What's the emergency?" Juu: "It isn't another of the Seven Stars, is it?" Dai: "This is a problem on a different scale." Man: "So what is it?" Same: "Out of nowhere, someone's made an offer to buy this school. They've decided to leave our fate to a duel between the buyer and a student representative." Man: "What?" Juu: "To a duel?" Same: "Our owner is a peculiar man. It seems that when the buyer came to propose the duel..." Kai: "Very well. The door to the future is one you must open yourself. There is not one Duel Academia duelist who would lose to the likes of you. If you can win the duel, I'll give you the school for free." Dai: "...was apparently what he said, basically." Juu: "Then, Headmaster, let me fight him!" Same: "I cannot do that. Our opponent has already chosen the duelist he will face." Juu: "You mean..." Juu: "It's Manjome?" Dai: "That's right..." Dai: "Headmaster, we have a phone call." Same: "Put them through." Dai: "Yes, sir." Sho: "You can't be saying the buyer is... It's the Manjome Group?!" Man: "Brothers, what is the meaning of this?" Cho: "As you know, our goal is domination... of the political world..." Sho: "the economic world..." Both: "and the card game world... All to establish a Manjome Empire!" Man: "But I'm already..." Cho: "Who would devote their time to an underachiever like you?" Sho: "We have decided to acquire your school," Sho: "You're going to fight our older brother for the fate of this school." Man: "Me? Fight Chosaku?" Sho: "Even if he accepts..." Juu: "Manjome's brother is a dueling novice." Juu: "And Manjome is one of the school's leading duelists. You can't possibly beat him." Cho: "Naturally, I shall have a handicap." Cho: "These are the cards that Jun previously refused to use. I shall create a deck with these cards. Then, Jun..." Cho: "As a handicap, you will fight with cards of only 500 attack points or fewer." Man: "What?" Sho: "That's unreasonable!" Juu: "You expect him to put himself at such a disadvantage?" Cho: "The conditions..." Kai: "Very well. Since you're a beginner, it's only natural." Cho: "...have already been accepted by your owner!" Juu: "You can't be serious!" Cho: "The duel will be in three days. I'll be looking forward to it." Man: "If we're done here, I'm going back to the dorm." Juu: "Wait... Let us help you." Sho: "Yeah!" Man: "No. It's my duel." Stu: "This duel... Yeah. It's a plot by the Manjome brothers. Then you think Manjome plans to take a dive? Well, if this place goes to the Manjome Group," Juu: "You guys! Don't talk that way! Manjome is a student here!" Juu: "If you'd ever dueled him, you'd know he isn't that kind of guy!" Man: "Stay out of this. I told you that I don't need your help." Juu: "What was that?" Mis: "This is no time to be arguing." Mis: "We heard everything." Asu: "If there's anything we can do, please tell us." Mis: "We'll help you out." Man: "No, thank you." Ryo: "Don't be so sour. Losing the duel is one thing," Sho: "What do you mean?" Ryo: "He has no cards with 500 attack points or fewer." Juu: "Huh? No cards?" Man: "My deck is a power deck. Of course I don't have any monsters with 500 attack points or less. The only one I have is this." All: "Huh?!" Juu: "No way! Does that mean you can't even make a deck?" Dai: "There is a rumor I've heard." Dai: "On the island, there may only be one place you can get cards like that. Deep in the forest is an old dried-up well that no one ever goes near." Dai: "Of course, you absolutely must not do this... But I've heard that students at this academy used to" Dai: "But those who approach that well" Man: "I don't care. Even if it curses me, I have to have those cards! Because I have to protect this school!" All: "Yeah!" Man: "Why do you keep following me?" Juu: "Well, Duel Academy's fate is riding on you. I've gotta protect you from a ghost attack." Man: "A bunch of nonsense..." Man: "There's no such thing as a card ghost!" Man: "They really are here!" Juu: "Then you can see card spirits, too?" Man: "We'll discuss this nonsense later. They're coming." Juu: "That didn't hurt at all." Man: "That's right... They have 0 attack points." Man: "Even if they're ghosts, they're still the smallest of small monsters." Juu: "The well! The well!" Man: "Shut up... I know what it is." Juu: "So this is the card graveyard?" Man: "I see, they're all extremely weak cards." Juu: "But there are some really fun-looking cards here!" Black: "Hey, you! What do you think you're doing here?" Green: "What are you doing here?" Black: "Don't claim you've forgotten our grudge against you for throwing us out!" Green: "Don't make that claim." Man: "What? I didn't throw you out." Black: "You jerk! I'll fight you anytime, anywhere!" Green: "Anytime, anywhere!" Man: "Go ahead. You don't have any proper attack points. How do you plan to hurt me?" Black: "We can't!" Green: "We can't do anything!" Man: "Shut up! Your weeping is so hideous!" Juu: "Cool!" Black: "We really are underachievers!" Black: "We can't even threaten these guys! If only we could find our little brother," Green: "Oh, little brother, where have you gone?" Both: "Ojama Yellow!" Yel: "Yes? Did you call?" Black: "Yellow..." Green: "Yellow!" Yel: "Brother Black! Bro Green!" Both: "You're alive, Ojama Yellow!" Yel: "Bro!" Both: "Little Bro!" Juu: "Of course... You're brothers." Man: "This is a highly unsightly reunion." Man: "I'm leaving." Juu: "Leaving? What about your cards?" Yel: "Hey, my brothers, hurry up and ask him! This guy will get you out of here." Both: "Really?!" Black: "We're begging you! Even if you leave all the others behind..." Green: "Just get us out of here!" Juu: "These guys have really lost their backbones, huh?" Both: "Let us out! Please!" All: "Let us out! Let us out! Please get us out of here!" Juu: "Manjome..." Man: "That's "Manjome, sir."" Man: "Fine. I'll take care of all of them." All: "Master Manjome!" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir."" Yel: "Thank you, Manjome Thunder." Man: "Hey!" Both: "Manjome Thunder!" All: "Thank you!" Cho: "I'm pleased the handicap didn't discourage you. I thought you might run away. I do applaud your courage, Jun." Man: "Brother... Before the duel begins, let me say this. I promised my deck would contain only monsters with 500 or less attack points. But all of my monsters have 0 attack points!" Juu: "He didn't mention that!" Sho: "You don't think Manjome really plans to take a fall, do you?" Juu: "Don't be ridiculous!" Man: "That's the handicap I've chosen." Cho: "Interesting." Cho: "Come, Jun!" Both: "Duel!" Man: "My turn! Draw!" Man: "I summon Soul Tiger!" Asu: "All his cards have 0 attack points, which means he'll summon them all in defense position." Juu: "But that guy can't break through 2100 defense points too easily." Man: "I end my turn." Cho: "Draw. I activate my spell card Polymerization!" Cho: "I fuse Lord of D. and Divine Dragon Ragnarok." Sho: "Those are both..." Ryo: "Parallel rare cards..." Cho: "Come out, King Dragun!" Cho: "I activate King Dragun's effect. Using this card, once per turn," Cho: "Come out, Luster Dragon #2!" Sho: "Right to..." Juu: "A 2400-attack-point monster!" Man: "That's two." Cho: "Go, King Dragun. Use Twilight Burn on Soul Tiger!" Cho: "Now, Luster Dragon #2... Emerald Flame!" Juu: "Manjome!" Mis: "Is that man really a beginner?" Cho: "I end my turn." Man: "My turn! Draw!" Man: "I set a monster facedown, in defense position. I end my turn." Cho: "Draw." Cho: "I summon Luster Dragon in attack position!" Cho: "I use King Dragun's effect to summon Hyozanryu!" Man: "Four monsters..." Cho: "Out of fraternal affection, I shall end the game this turn, rather than force you to suffer. King Dragun attacks! Twilight Burn!" Cho: "What?" Cho: "Wh-What is this?" Man: "The Unhappy Maiden. When she's sent to the graveyard by battle," Cho: "You think you've gotten out of this, but how long can you hold out?" Man: "My turn. Draw!" Man: "I summon Spirit of the Breeze in defense position!" Man: "And I activate my Continuous Spell The Dark Door. As long as this card is on the field, only one monster can attack on each of our turns!" Cho: "But that will only last until I draw a card that destroys your spell." Cho: "My turn." Cho: "Go, King Dragun! Twilight Burn!" Man: "My turn!" Man: "I summon Catnipped Kitty." Man: "I end my turn." Cho: "My turn. Draw." Cho: "Jun, it seems that, next turn, my victory will be decided..." Cho: "Go, King Dragun!" Cho: "Twilight Burn!" Cho: "I set one card and end my turn." Asu: "That card he set was..." Ryo: "In all likelihood, a card to destroy The Dark Door." Man: "My turn! Draw!" Cho: "In this instant, I activate my trap! Dust Tornado swallows up your The Dark Door!" Juu: "M-Manjome's..." Ryo: "...last line of defense!" Man: "The Dark Door... Next turn, he'll launch a full bombardment." Sho: "It's over. Now, this school..." Cho: "...will belong to the Manjome Group." Man: "I activate my spell card Painful Choice." Man: "I choose five cards from my deck. My opponent chooses one." Man: "These are the cards I choose!" Cho: "Next turn, I'm going to finish this with a full barrage. But just to be on the safe side..." Cho: "I choose the one non-monster card, Thunder Crash!" Man: "That's exactly what I thought you'd choose." Cho: "What?" Man: "I activate my spell card Enchanting Fitting Room! I pay 800 life points to turn over the next four cards in my deck," Man: "I return Pot of Greed to my deck, and summon the three Ojama brothers." Trio: "Heya!" Cho: "I don't know what you're thinking. But do you think, next turn, those small monsters of yours can hold out against the attacks of my luminescent monsters?" Man: "I'll make you pay for making fun of them!" Cho: "What?" Oja: "B-Bro!" Man: "It's true that they have 0 attack points. They're also ugly and unpleasant to be around!" Man: "But they've taught me one thing." Both: "What's that?" Green: "The bonds among brothers!" Black: "That if we unite our power..." Yellow: "...we can do anything!" Man: "There's a layer below the bottom of the barrel!" Man: "Compared to these things, I'm actually pretty good!" Cho: "Shut up, Jun! An underachiever will always be an underachiever!" Man: "Then let me show you an underachiever's tenacity." Man: "I activate my spell card! Go, small monsters!" Trio: "Desperation move!" Yel: "Yellow!" Black: "Black!" Green: "Green!" Trio: "Take this! The sure-kill Ojama Delta Hurricane!" Judai: "What is this?" Cho: "I-Impossible... He wiped out my monsters?" Man: "Did you see that? That's the power of underachievers." Cho: "Ojama Delta Hurricane..." Man: "When the three Ojamas are on the field together, I can clear my opponent's field of cards." Trio: "As long as we're here, Manjome Thunder is invinci—" Man: "I activate my spell card! Thunder Crash!" Yel: "What's this card? It's in the way!" Green: "Thunder Crash?" Black: ""Destroy all monsters on your side of the field." Green: ""Monsters on your side of the field" means..." Trio: "Us?!" Man: "Your role is over, all you Zero Attack Points!" Trio: "Oh, no!" Man: "Take this... Thunder Crash!" Cho: "Don't get cocky, Jun! Even if you destroy all my monsters, I still have the advantage. You've just set me back! That's all!" Man: "Wrong." Man: "I still have my Normal Summon for this turn! I've been waiting for this. Until I had this many monsters in my graveyard." Man: "Come out! Chaos Necromancer! This card's attack points" Same: "What?" Juu: "That means..." Man: "There are eleven monsters in my graveyard." Man: "Therefore, it has 3300 attack points!" Cho: "Impossible!" Both: "We're back!" Cho: "This is..." Man: "Chaos Necromancer attacks!" Man: "Necro Puppet Show!" Sho: "Brother!" Sho: "He did it! He won!" Juu: "Great one, Manjome!" All: "Manjome! Manjome! Manjome!" Man: "No! My name is... One! Ten! Hundred!" Man: "Thousand!" Man: "Manjome..." All: "Thunder! Thunder! Manjome Thunder!" Sho: "Brother... We'll pay him back for this." Cho: "Enough, Shoji. You can't see?" All: "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!" Cho: "Jun's already grown up much more than we'd thought." Kai: "Well, obviously." Kai: "I don't need your worthless report. Of course he won." Man: "I think I caught a cold..." Man: "Shut up!" Man: "How long do you things plan to stay here?" Yel: "What's the big deal? Even if we do have 0 attack points, we'll still be useful to you. You understand that, don't you?" Man: "If I learned anything from that duel, it's that you three really are absolutely useless!" Man: "My room was small enough as it was! Get out, all of you!" Sho: "Kawada, Goto, and even Instructor Cronos... Why are they being forced to work here?" Juu: "Is this the next stage?" Sho: "Is this woman part of the Seven Stars?" Juu: "She looks strong!" Sho: "And she's singling out Misawa? She seems kind of sexy..." Juu: "Misawa's gonna be fine. He's the last samurai!" Sho: "But if he loses, he has to become her husband." Juu: "It isn't a dark duel?"

Chick: "Is it true the boss is finally coming?" Gorg: "It's finally time to act." Mea: "Kill no one, injure no one, steal nothing from the poor." Cliff: "We obey the three laws of thievery." ur: "That's how the Dark Scorpion Burglars operate!" Cap: "It's in sight, Inspector." Cap: "That's Duel Academia there." Mag: "Duel Academia?" Juu: "Asuka?" Juu: "How's your brother doing?" Asu: "He's up and about, at least a little..." Asu: "But he doesn't seem to remember anything." Juu: "I see. It must be hard on you, too." Asu: "Anyway, what's up with you guys?" Dai: "We wanted to discuss something with you." Mag: "Greetings, my dear... I am Inspector Magure." Asu: "Inspector?" Dai: "The Seven Stars have already taken three of the seven keys. So I spoke to the headmaster, and we decided to hire some professional security." Juu: "That's right... Asuka, where's your key?" Asu: "Mine is, well..." Man: "Jeez! Don't you have any tact?" Juu: "What the heck?" Man: "So, Tenjoin, where's your key?" Asu: "Around my neck." Man: "Same here." Juu: "Ditto." Mag: "It's true that keeping something valuable on your person seems like the safest bet. But it's also like telling people where your most valuable possession is." Dai: "So, his idea is to put all of your keys somewhere very safe." Man: "I'll store my key here." Mag: "I understand. Under the sink is an unexpected hiding place." Mag: "Who's there?" Juu: "That's Gorg, the maintenance man." Juu: "I'll go with..." Juu: "This drawer, I guess." Mag: "A simple hiding place can be surprisingly effective." Juu: "Who's there?" Juu: "You're..." Mag: "A suspicious intruder!" Sho: "Chick, did you get the wrong room again?" Juu: "Your room's the next one over." Chick: "Th-That's right!" Hay: "He's in our class, in Slifer Red." Asu: "I'll put my key in this jewelry box." Mag: "A very secure place." Mea: "Everyone!" Mea: "Men aren't permitted in this dorm." Mag: "Who is she?" Asu: "She isn't anyone suspicious." Asu: "That's just Dr. Meanae." Dai: "Then, my key will go here." Man: "It certainly should be safe here." Mag: "A suspicious intruder!" Dai: "That's Cliff, with security. I feel safer with him here." Mag: "Very well." Dai: "Now, everyone, let's go back to our rooms, and get to sleep." Mag: "Then I will rest in the night watchman's room with Instructor Daitokuji." Zal: "At last, the keys to the Seven Spirit Gates are mine." Mea: "But nothing is happening." Gorg: "Unless we can open the door, we can't get the treasure." Chick: "There must be some trick to it beyond the keys alone." Zal: "For now, let's withdraw!" Man: "What?" Man: "How did you even get in here? Did you steal my door key or something?" Juu: "Yeah, it's about the keys... Look." Man: "Who did this?" Man: "My key! Did you do this?" Juu: "Why would we steal it? Mine got stolen, too! I bet the others were, as well." Man: "You don't think..." Both: "The Seven Stars did this?" Juu: "Anyway, we should meet up with the others!" Man: "So, why is this meeting in my room?" Dai: "This is horrible..." Man: "I mean it! Why are you all here?" Mag: "Truly, this is a terrible situation!" Dai: "Inspector Magure... Everyone?" Mag: "I called them here." Mag: "I was hoping to gather some information." Dai: "Good idea." Mag: "Now, everyone... I'll question you in separate rooms." Juu: "Okay! We'll split up and look for the culprit, too!" Man: "No." Man: "No one move." Juu: "Manjome?" Dai: "Mr. Manjome, what's going on?" Man: "Because the one who stole the keys is in this room!" All: "What?!" Man: "I swear I will solve this case..." Man: "Upon my name as "Great Detective Manjome Thunder"!" Juu: "Hey, that's pretty cool." Sho: "Bro..." Man: "Before you all arrived, I visited each crime scene." Sho: "Of course. There's a lot of evidence to be found at the scene of the crime!" Asu: "Now that you mention it," Man: "Tenjoin, are you serious about finding the culprit? You should really clean your room more." Asu: "I... I do, daily!" Man: "I threw that thing away." Asu: "S-Sorry." Dai: "Speaking of which, there were footprints in front of the conference room safe." Man: "The school is a mess of muddy footprints. You people need to wear slippers inside! I cleaned up the footprints myself." Dai: "I-I am very sorry." Juu: "Come to think of it, there was a hole in the wall of our room, too." Sho: "Yeah." Man: "Be careful not to damage a rented apartment." Juu: "Deposit?" Man: "I filled in the hole myself." Juu: "S-Sorry, Manjome." Man: ""Sir."" Dai: "But then who's responsible?" Man: "You!" Man: "You!" Man: "You! And you!" Chick: "Wh-Where's your evidence?" Mea: "That's right! If you're going to treat us like criminals," Man: "I have evidence." Gorg: "What?" Mag: "But... You cleaned up anything resembling evidence." Man: "The evidence is here!" Trio: "Yay!" Man: "When we were going to all the rooms," Man: "And in my room, there are countless witnesses. These cards witnessed your crimes" Man: "in their entirety!" Black: "No question." Green: "It's these guys!" Yel: "We saw them." Mag: "Witnesses?" Mea: "I don't see anything like that." Yel: "What, you can't see my weapon?" Black: "My cherry blossoms?" Green: "My crest?" All: "We don't see anything." Man: "And you, Inspector Magure, are the one behind it all! You deliberately had us hide the keys," Man: "Then, intentionally..." Mag: "A suspicious intruder!" Man: "You pretended to suspect them, so we would vouch for them." Man: "By doing so, you cleared away any chance that we'd doubt them." Mag: "I see why you call yourself a "great detective."" All: "Why?" Mag: "Your methods are questionable, but your conclusions hit the mark. That's right. Our true identity is..." All: "The Dark Scorpion Burglars!" All: "Dark Scorpion Burglars?" Zal: "Several years ago," ur: "That's how the Dark Scorpion Burglars operate!" Man: "Given the time invested, it was a remarkably sloppy job." ur: "That's how the Dark Scorpion Burglars operate!" Juu: "These guys are kinda fun." Sho: "Yeah." ur: "That's how the Dark Scorpion Burglars operate!" Asu: "But you can't open the Seven Spirit Gates with the stolen keys alone. I guess they're a bit absentminded." ur: "That's how the Dark Scorpion Burglars operate!" Zal: "Well? How do we open them?" Man: "I'll tell you... If you can beat me in a duel, the gates will open!" Juu: "Wait a minute. What about me?" Asu: "I'm here, as well." Sho: "And so is Instructor Daitokuji." Dai: "No, no, I'll pass." Zel: "A duel?" Zel: "That's right! These things he gave me when he hired us!" Zel: "Then let us duel, boy!" Man: "Anytime! Bring it on, Dark Scorpion Burglars!" Both: "Duel!" Zal: "I'll go first. Draw! I summon Golem Sentry in defense position!" Zal: "I set one more card and end my turn." Man: "My turn. Draw." Man: "I activate my spell card Fiend's Sanctuary. This card Special Summons a Metal Fiend Token. Then I tribute the Metal Fiend Token" Man: "to summon Armed Dragon LV5!" Man: "Armed Dragon, destroy his monster!" Man: "Armed Buster!" Man: "Then I set two cards and activate Armed Dragon's effect! On a turn when this card wins a battle," Juu: "He got Armed Dragon to its highest level in a single turn? Manjome's really good." Man: "That's "Manjome, sir"!" Zal: "Indeed, you have a fine monster." Zal: "It's my turn. Draw!" Zal: "I activate my spell card Pot of Greed." Zal: "I draw two cards from my deck." Zal: "I activate my own card, Don Zaloog!" Zal: "Since this is a serious matter, I will take to the battlefield myself." Sho: "Wh-What?" Hay: "Is he..." Juu: "Yeah." Zal: "I also activate my spell card Mustering of the Dark Scorpions! When Zaloog is on the field," Zal: "Come, my troops! Time to get to work!" Gorg: "The muscle of the Dark Scorpions... Gorg the Strong!" Mea: "The lady of the Dark Scorpions... Meanae the Thorn." Cliff: "Any trap is easily handled... Cliff the Trap Remover!" Chick: "I take the treasure and then escape... Chick the Yellow." All: "We are the Dark Scorpion Burglars!" Zal: "I activate my trap! On the first turn when all the Dark Scorpions are present on the field, they can each attack you directly. And each deals 400 points to you. Go, my troops!" Zal: "Dark Scorpion Combination!" Mea: "Take this! Thorn Whip!" Zal: "Double Revolver!" Cliff: "Trap Knife!" Chick: "Energy Mallet!" Gorg: "Strongman Hammer!" Juu: "They cut Manjome's life in half..." Zal: "And it's not just your life. You have already taken damage from each of our effects." Man: "What?" Gorg: "The strongest monster on your side of the field is sent to the top of your deck!" Chick: "Your cards on the field return to your hand." Cliff: "And..." Cliff: "Two cards from the top of your deck are sent to your graveyard." Zal: "And one card in your hand is destroyed." Mea: "And we add one card with "Dark Scorpion" in the name" Zal: "I'm adding this card back to my hand. This is our unbeatable combo, Dark Scorpion Combination!" Dai: "What a fearsome combo..." Sho: "Can Manjome survive this?" Asu: "There's no way he can recover from an attack like that." Zal: "Indeed. Any normal opponent's hand and deck would be in tatters" Juu: "But Manjome isn't normal!" Man: "Judai, don't you say that!" Man: "That combo hasn't fazed me in the least!" Man: "I activate my trap Level Modulation. I make you draw two cards," Juu: "Be reborn, Armed Dragon LV7!" Zal: "Tsk... You're stubborn." Zal: "I set two cards and end my turn." Sho: "Manjome's life is down to half." Juu: "Don't worry. He can still win!" Man: "My turn! Draw! I activate Armed Dragon LV7's effect! By discarding one monster card from my hand," Man: "I discard Despair from the Dark. Its attack points are 2800!" Zal: "Not so fast! I activate my trap card Retreat of the Dark Scorpions! All the Dark Scorpions on the field return to my hand." Man: "Then I attack you directly! Armed Dragon attacks." Man: "Armed Vanisher!" ur: "Boss!" Cliff: "The boss is shielding us..." Mea: "We'll get you back for this!" Man: "I set one card and end my turn." Zal: "That was quite a blow. But my victory is now assured. My turn!" Zal: "I summon myself again!" Zal: "I activate my spell card Mustering of the Dark Scorpions. Gather up, my troops!" All: "Yeah!" Man: "I don't think so. I activate my trap Ojama Trio!" Trio: "Yay!" Cliff: "These things..." Gorg: "There's no room for us." Man: "This card summons Ojama Tokens on your side of the field. When each Ojama Token is destroyed, it deals 300 points of damage to you." Black: "Sorry." Green: "We know it's your side of the field." Yel: "But we're really getting in the way!" Chick: "They really are in the way." Mea: "In that case... Boss, summon me!" Zal: "Meanae, I leave my life in your hands." Zal: "I activate my spell card Dark Scorpion — Tragedy of Love. When Zaloog and Meanae are both on the field," Mea: "I leave the rest to you, boss!" Zal: "To avenge Meanae, I attack directly! Double Revolver!" Zal: "And with that attack, my effect activates. You must randomly discard one card!" Man: "It seems I still have a little luck..." Man: "This is the only card in my hand, Ojamagic. When this card is sent to the graveyard," Zal: "Of what use can those small monsters be?" Man: "I'll show you who's small here. My turn!" Man: "Pot of Greed!" Man: "And I activate my spell card Polymerization!" Zal: "What?" Man: "Go... Ojama Black! Ojama Green! Ojama Yellow!" Yel: "Here we go!" Black: "Ojama Ultimate Combination!" Green: "Here it comes!" Zal: "Wh-What?" Trio: "The King! The King! The King is here!" Man: "And I activate my spell card Ojamuscle!" King: "You, there... You played your roles well." Man: "Ojamuscle destroys all Ojama monsters on the field," Man: "Additionally, destruction of Ojama Tokens reduces your life by 900." Man: "And Ojama King's attack points increase by 3000!" Man: "Go, Ojama King! Ojamuscle Flying Body Attack!" King: "Ojamuscle!" Sho: "All right!" Hay: "He won!" Juu: "That was amazing, Manjome!" Man: ""Sir"!" Zal: "Too bad... Sorry, everyone." All: "Boss!" Mea: "Boss!" Man: "I thought they were just ordinary burglars." Hay: "The Dark Scorpion Burglars, huh?" Sho: "Then they were members of the Seven Stars?" Dai: "Anyway, I'm glad the keys are back!" Asu: "We were fighting a dark duel without even realizing it." Juu: "If he'd lost, he'd have been sealed in a card. That was close..." Zal: "This is easier for us, anyway!" Yel: "We get to be buds!" Mea: "This is the life! Right, boss?" Yel: "You guys never let things get you down, do you?" ve: "That's how the Dark Scorpion Burglars operate!" Sho: "Bro, did you know..." Juu: "I'd love to fight him!" Sho: "Bro, he lived three thousand years ago..." Sho: "Mummies are popping out of the ground!" Juu: "These guys are after the keys to the Seven Spirit Gates!" Sho: "What do we do, Bro? We're fighting the God of Duelists! Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: H-E-R-O Flash!"

Pilot: "This is escort helicopter 2260 Eagle. We'll rendezvous with you in three minutes." Ship: "Roger, Eagle." Ship: "We have our destination in visual range." Ship: "8030 will be making landfall." Captain: "All ships, be on maximum alert. No matter what it takes, we will protect our cargo!" Captain: "Prepare to make landfall!" Sho: "I beg you... God of duels, please let my grades on today's first of the month test" Sho: "Let it be a true "Monster Reborn"!" Sho: "I beg you, please save this humble Sho from the graveyard..." Sho: "Oh, the alarm clock... But big bro Judai doesn't seem worried. He didn't study at all, and he's fast asleep." Sho: "Bro! You're gonna be late to the test! Bro!" Judai: "It's my turn!" Sho: "End your turn already! We're gonna be late to the test!" Hay: "Sho, you're being too nice. You're competing with your dorm-mates on both the practical and written tests. That means that everyone in Slifer Red is your enemy." Sho: "M-My enemy?" Hay: "Since Judai beat Instructor Cronos," Hay: "If you just let him sleep in, it'd be to the advantage of the rest of us." Sho: "I'm supposed to be his little brother! I could never do that to him! Bro! Wake up, Bro!" Sho: "Bro! Hey, Bro!" Sho: "That's right. This is a duelist battlefield. It's beat or be beaten. I need to become a hard-boiled duelist!" Juu: "I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" Juu: "I'm late! I'm late!" Juu: "I'm such a sucker for things like this!" Juu: "I'll help you, ma'am." Tome: "No, you'll be late... Don't you have a test today?" Juu: "Who cares if I'm late? I couldn't leave a lady in trouble!" Tome: "Young man..." Juu: "I'll work it out somehow. Leave this to me." Tome: "I'm so sorry..." Juu: "Come on, I know you'd do the same for me." Sho: "Bro..." Sho: "Bro... I'm sorry, Bro..." Juu: "Never! I'll never forgive you!" Juu: "Come on, don't waste all that studying by sleeping through the test!" Sho: "B-Bro..." Man: "Shut up, Slifer Red! Give us some quiet! If you aren't taking the test, get out!" Juu: "Give me a break... I came all the way here. I'm not going home now!" Dai: "Judai Yuki... Come get your question sheet already. There isn't much time left." Juu: "Sure!" Student: "H-He takes it so lightly." Asu: "Thirty minutes late... Doesn't he care about the written exam at all?" Mis: "You've got so much talent. Why don't you take things more seriously," Mis: "Judai Yuki?" Student: "How could someone like him have beaten Instructor Cronos?" Asu: "Why?" Cro: "As expected, he self-destructs on the written test. All that remains is the practical test." Cro: "I cannot wait!" Dai: "The written test is now over. The practical exam will take place at 2 PM, in the gym." Blue: "Let's hurry! We've gotta be fast!" Man: "I know." Mis: "Hey, wake up, you two! The test already ended!" Sho: "I'm done for. What was the point of all that studying?" Juu: "Don't sweat it. The real test is the practical in the afternoon." Sho: "Huh? Where'd everyone go?" Juu: "Is it lunchtime already?" Mis: "They went to the school store. During the noon break, it's getting a big shipment of new cards." Sho: "A big shipment of new cards?!" Mis: "Everyone went to buy stuff to buff up their decks before the practical test." Sho: "A-Aren't you going?" Mis: "I have faith in my current deck. I don't need any new cards." Sho: "B-Bro?" Juu: "I'm..." Juu: "curious! I've just gotta see what kinds of cards they have! Let's go, Sho!" Sho: "Okay!" Student: "Open up! Open up!" Student: "Show us the rare cards already!" Student: "Who are these guys?" Captain: "Stand back! Stand back!" Captain: "We have what you're after right here!" Captain: "They're going to start selling them now." Students: "At last, the rare cards are..." Students: "...gone!" Student: "What's going on here?" Sei: "This person bought them all." Students: "This person?" Cro: "I have already paid for all of them." Student: "That's cheating! Hey! You selfish jerk! Monster!" Juu: "Hurry! Hurry!" Sho: "Wait!" Juu: "What's going on here?" Sho: "If everyone's gone, that means..." Juu: "They've already sold out?" Juu: "Ma'am! Ma'am!" Juu: "Miss, where are the new cards?" Sei: "A student came and bought most of them." Sei: "This is all that's left." Juu: "O-Only one?" Sho: "What do we do, Bro? I bombed the written test so bad. I was really hoping to build up my deck for the practical..." Juu: "It's okay. You buy it." Sho: "You'll let me have it? But it's the last pack!" Juu: "No worries." Sho: "But, Bro... Today's an important test. And you and I are enemies." Juu: "Enemies? Why?" Sho: "Well, you know..." Juu: "Anyway, we still have time before the practical test. Let's go work on our decks!" Sho: "Bro..." Tome: "Hold it!" Juu: "You're the lady from before!" Tome: "Don't call me "lady." Call me Tome! Tome!" Juu: "So you run the school store, Ms. Tome?" Sho: "You know her, Bro?" Juu: "Yeah, we sorta met." Tome: "Anyway, step right this way." Tome: "I've got something good to sell you!" Blue: "Who was the guy that bought up all the cards? I couldn't buy any... What will we do about this afternoon's test?" Man: "Stop panicking." Man: "No one in Obelisk Blue could beat me anyway." Ban: "But what if your opponent were Judai Yuki?" Man: "What?" Ban: "Can you beat Judai with your current deck?" Blue: "You're the one who bought all the cards!" Ban: "Those cards are right... in here!" Blue: "Who are you? Why did you buy all the cards?!" Ban: "You still do not know, Signor Manjome, my true identity?" Man: "You're Instructor Cronos, who lost to Judai Yuki." Cro: "A drop-out boy such as Judai Yuki must be crushed, posthaste, by an elite like yourself! That is why I have come to ask you... Fight Judai!" Man: "But the practical test is conducted among members of the same dorm." Cro: "Just you leave that to me! And then that drop-out boy will learn just how rare elites, such as we, really are." Juu: "Why am I dueling Manjome?" Cro: "You see, you performed so well on your entrance exam," Cro: "Hence, I have determined that Signor Manjome would be a more appropriate opponent for you! Of course, should you beat him, you will be promoted to Ra Yellow. What do you think, Judai Yuki?" Cro: "Do you accept this proposal?" Sho: "Bro really is amazing..." Mis: "If Judai wins, he'll be in the same dorm as me. So soon after getting in." Juu: "Sounds great!" Juu: "I want to duel all kinds of people." Juu: "I want to accept any challenge, from anyone!" Cro: "Then you do accept the duel with Signor Manjome?" Man: "Okay... We'll settle things from last time." Both: "Duel!" Juu: "Let's go, Manjome!" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir"!" Juu: "I go first..." Juu: "Draw!" Juu: "Winged Kuriboh, huh?" Juu: "Hey, pal. I feel better having you here at the start. In that case..." Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Clayman in defense position!" Juu: "I end my turn." Man: "A bum HERO deck full of small monsters... Let me show you how fragile it is. It's my turn!" Man: "Draw!" Man: "One of the rare cards Instructor Cronos gave me... I activate my spell card Magical Mallet!" Juu: "What?" Man: "This card lets me put any unneeded cards from my hand back into my deck, shuffle, then draw an equal number of new cards." Man: "And now..." Sho: "Huh? He can replace four whole cards?!" Mis: "By removing unneeded cards from his hand and replacing them with new cards, he increases the possibility of getting good cards for his hand." Man: "And Magical Mallet isn't discarded after I use it. By putting it into my deck over and over, it will enter my hand over and over! Once again, I activate Magical Mallet. I return Magical Mallet and another card to my deck, and draw two more cards!" Man: "Come out! I summon V-Tiger Jet in attack position!" Man: "Then I activate Continuous Spell Frontline Base from my hand! That lets me Special Summon one monster of Level 4 or below, once per turn. This turn, I Special Summon W-Wing Catapult in attack position!" Man: "Come out, W-Wing Catapult, and fuse with V-Tiger Jet!" Man: "VW-Tiger Catapult!" Man: "Surprised, Judai? But my turn isn't over yet. I also activate VW-Tiger Catapult's effect! I discard one card from my hand, to switch your monster to attack position!" Juu: "What?" Sho: "That isn't fair! Clayman only has 800 attack points. If you put him in attack position..." Man: "Here I come, Judai! VW-Tiger Missiles, fire! Pulverize Clayman!" Sho: "Bro..." Cro: "Bravo. Signor Manjome uses the cards I gave him with superlative effectiveness!" Man: "I set one card and end my turn!" Juu: "Come on, this duel's just getting started! Let's go. It's my turn. Draw!" Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Sparkman in defense position!" Juu: "I set one card and end my turn!" Sho: "Huh? It isn't like him to play cards in defense position." Mis: "His opponent has 2000 attack points." Asu: "Judai, this isn't enough to beat you, is it?" Man: "My turn! Draw! I summon X-Head Cannon in attack position. Then, using the effect of my Continuous Spell Frontline Base, I Special Summon Z-Metal Tank!" Judai: "I-It can't be..." Sho: "X and Z... If he has cards like those, too, then..." Man: "I activate my set card! Call of the Haunted's effect lets me bring back one monster card from my graveyard. That monster is..." Sho: "Y, as well?" Mis: "N-Not good!" Man: "Let's go, Judai! I fuse X, Y, and Z." Man: "XYZ-Dragon Cannon!" Mis: "He has two monsters on the field with over 2000 attack points!" Mis: "Does Judai still have a path to victory?" Man: "Not yet!" Man: "It isn't over yet! I fuse my VW-Tiger Catapult and XYZ-Dragon Cannon, to perform another Fusion Summon." Juu: "Again?" Man: "This is VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!" Man: "Then I activate VWXYZ's effect!" Juu: "Sparkman..." Man: "Too bad, huh, Judai? Once a turn, VWXYZ can banish one card on your side of the field." Man: "You're starting to feel it, aren't you?" Man: "The sorrow of the inferior..." Cro: "What a fine feeling! I can, at last, see the moment when our drop-out boy drops!" Man: "Go, VWXYZ! Attack the player directly!" Juu: "Wait! I activate my facedown trap A Hero Emerges!" Cro: "What?" Man: "A Hero Emerges?" Juu: "This card makes the opponent choose one of my cards." Juu: "Now, choose, Manjome!" Man: "That's "Manjome, sir"! The rightmost one!" Juu: "I got lucky." Juu: "I summon this card, Burstinatrix, in defense position." Man: "No, not defense position! When VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon attacks, I get to choose the target monster's battle position!" Man: "VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon, Ultimate Destruction! Attack Burstinatrix!" Sho: "Bro!" Man: "I end my turn." Man: "Yet again, you're defenseless." Man: "I won't let one monster remain on your side of the field." Juu: "I believe in my deck. As long as I have monsters who will fight for me to the bitter end, I'll keep fighting! Draw!" Tome: "Step right this way. I kept a little something special! This is my thanks for pushing my car. After all, a Slifer Red like you probably doesn't have a rare card, right?" Juu: "Winged Kuriboh, do you feel something?" Juu: "If you insist, then I'll bet everything on this card!" Juu: "I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense position." Girl: "So cute!" Juu: "Then I set one card and end my turn." Sho: "Defense position again? Bro, isn't there anything left you can do?" Asu: "No, that Winged Kuriboh has..." Juu: "My turn. Draw." Man: "It's futile. You've summoned that little hairball that can reduce battle damage to 0, but VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon's effect can still banish it." Juu: "Then go ahead and try!" Man: "Kick Winged Kuriboh aside, and attack Judai directly!" Man: "Ultimate Destruction!" Sho: "He's done for. Winged Kuriboh can't take all that..." Juu: "Here it comes, pal. I pay two cards from my hand as a cost to activate Transcendent Wings!" Both: "What?" Man: "Wh-What's going on?!" Juu: "Transcendent Wings has made Winged Kuriboh exceed his limitations. Winged Kuriboh is now Level 10! Its effect lets me tribute it, to destroy all of your monsters in attack position," Juu: "Winged Kuriboh, send all that energy back at him!" Man: "I end my turn." Juu: "Manjome!" Juu: "Now we're both down to 1000 life points. It sure would be interesting if I drew a monster with over 1000 attack points, huh?" Man: "What are you mumbling about? You can't do that so easily!" Juu: "But if I did, it would be pretty interesting, huh? My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I summon this card, Avian." Juu: "I attack you directly!" Sho: "Yeah!" Sho: "You did it, Bro!" Cro: "But he had all those rare cards. How could he have lost?" Same: "Well, that's the one who beat you, Instructor Cronos, right?" Cro: "I very much beg your pardon!" Juu: "Gotcha!" Juu: "That was a fun duel!" Man: "Judai..." Sho: "Hey! Hey, Bro!" Same: "You showed us something, Judai Yuki. Your trust in your deck, your passionate friendship with your monsters," Same: "I think everyone here acknowledges that. Accordingly, Mr. Yuki, as our winner... You advance to Ra Yellow." All: "Congratulations! You did it, Judai!" Sho: "Amazing! You really are amazing! I'm so impressed!" Juu: "Right? Aren't I?" Mis: "Judai Yuki, congratulations. And welcome to Ra Yellow." Juu: "Thanks!" All: "Congratulations! You did it! Congratulations! Great work!" Sho: "Now my big bro's becoming an official Ra Yellow student." Sho: "I'm going to miss him once he's gone." Sho: "But I really think this is for the best." Sho: "Congratulations, Bro..." Sho: "Congratulations!" Hay: "That's weird... People never crawl their way out of Slifer Red." Sho: "Yeah, but Bro's already gone off to Ra Yellow." Juu: "Yo!" Sho: "Yo? Bro! What are you doing here?!" Juu: "What do you mean? This is my room. What's wrong with my coming back to my room?" Juu: "That's right... I like this place. Burning flame, hot blood, the red of passion! I like Slifer Red! I'm not ready to leave here at all!" Sho: "Bro!" Juu: "Hey! Let go, Sho! You're suffocating me!" Sho: "I'm so happy, Bro! I get to be with you again! Hey... For today, just let me cry!" Sho: "Bro, I'll follow you anywhere!" Juu: "Don't cling!" Juu: "I don't mind you following. Just don't cling!" Juu: "I guess this would fall under "the red of passion," huh?" Sho: "Bro!" Juu: "What, you're being really creepy..." Sho: "But you chose to stay in the Red dorm. That means Red is the best, right?" Sho: "What are you thinking about?" Juu: "Well, you remember what Instructor Daitokuji said?" Juu: "There's another dorm on this island that no one uses." Sho: "Bro, you're not..." Juu: "Okay, let's explore it! Come on, Sho!" Sho: "I knew it! Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Dark Fiend Deck."

Abid: "Who has awakened me from my slumber?" Kage: "The legendary pharaoh known as the God of Duelists..." Abid: "Fetch the ship!" Dai: "Yugi Muto and Kaiba Seto." Stu: "What is that?" Dai: "As you know, for our generation, these two are legends." Stu: "What's with those pictures? Are those supposed to be people? Well, they've got character, I guess." Dai: "The truth is, back in ancient Egypt, there were also legendary duelists." Juu: "In ancient Egypt? They had duels that far back, too?" Sho: "They didn't have cards in ancient Egypt, so they used stone tablets to duel." Dai: "This is the boy king known as the God of Duelists, who" Dai: "His name was Abidos III." Juu: "Undefeated... You mean he never lost? Cool! I wish I could duel that god guy!" Man: "Though I'm sure he'd reduce his opponent's life points to 0 on the first turn." Juu: "That's okay! After that happened, I'd avenge you." Man: "I meant you... You!" Juu: "But you might do pretty well against a god, after all." Man: "I said I meant you!" Sho: "Hey, you two, we're in class!" Man: "Is it these ears of yours that make you perpetually mishear everything?!" Juu: "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sho: "I told you, you have to be quiet." Dai: "That's right!" Dai: "You three... You'll stay and clean after class today." Sho: "Huh? Me, too?" Asu: "Brother..." Asu: "He's still so distant." Asu: "For some reason, he refuses to talk to me." Asu: "I don't know what's happened to him. All I can do is watch over him." Asu: "I want to help him, and yet..." Ryo: "The sun always rises." Ryo: "Weren't you the one who told me that?" Ryo: "What's going on?" Sho: "Darn it. Why me, too? You two cause me nothing but trouble." Juu: "It's Manjome's fault." Man: "It's your fault!" Juu: "I give!" Sho: "Poor me." Juu: "What was..." Man: "...that voice?" Juu: "Kaiser!" Man: "Tenjoin!" Sho: "Brother!" Ryo: "Sho!" Ryo: "Stay back!" Mummy: "Those who hold the keys..." Juu: "What?" Man: "Are they with the Seven Stars?" Ryo: "You're awake?" Juu: "Everyone!" Juu: "Huh? Instructor, too?" Dai: "I was just about to eat dinner," Ryo: "Then those with keys are all together now?" Sho: "Instructor Daitokuji!" Man: "Leave him be. He'd be of no use to us, anyway." All: "Judai!" Juu: "Who are you?" Abi: "My name is Abidos III. I am one of the Seven Stars." Juu: "Abidos III?" Man: "The one said to be undefeated?" Asu: "The legendary..." Abi: "I shall take the four keys you possess." Asu: "Are we supposed to fight the duelist who's called a god?" Ryo: "Does he mean to get the four remaining keys all at once?" Man: "The enemy must be getting impatient." Abi: "I shall grant you the chance to leave your keys and run. Now, what will you do?" Juu: "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! I'll do it!" Sho: "Bro?" Juu: "I was just thinking about how much I'd like to duel you..." Priest: "Insolence! To say such things to the Pharaoh—" Abi: "It matters not!" Ryo: "Judai! This is a dark duel!" Asu: "And that's a god you're facing." Sho: "It's reckless, Bro!" Juu: "I know that... But I can't stop my heart from racing! Let's do it, "god."" Abi: "You appear to be fearless." Man: "Okay! Judai, I give my permission!" Man: "Go and see how you fare against a god!" Sho: "Hey, that's my duel disk!" Juu: "Thanks, Manjome." Man: "That's "Manjome, sir"!" Ryo: "How do you mean to take on a god, Judai Yuki?" Both: "Duel!" Abi: "My turn. Draw." Abi: "I summon Pharaonic Protector from my hand in defense position." Sho: "0 defense points?!" Abi: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "My turn. Draw!" Abi: "I activate The First Sarcophagus!" Juu: "I've never seen that card before." Juu: ""First" implies there's a second and a third, right?" Abi: "Correct. During your next two End Phases," Abi: "When all three Sarcophagus cards are assembled," Sho: "Bro..." Juu: "It's a three-card set, huh? Sounds neat! But hey, Your Majesty... Don't your shoulders get stiff, dueling so seriously like that?" Abi: "Nonsense." Juu: "Oh, well. Anyway..." Juu: "I'm gonna go!" Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Avian in attack position!" Juu: "And I activate my spell card H — Heated Heart from my hand!" Juu: "It increases one monster on my side of the field's attack points by 500. This also lets it pierce through your monster in defense position, dealing damage to you directly. Sure-Kill Feather Break!" Sho: "He did it! Bro struck first!" Man: "That idiot. How did he draw first blood from a god?" Juu: "Okay... I end my turn." Abi: "The First Sarcophagus's effect causes The Second Sarcophagus to activate!" Abi: "Only one remains. When the final Sarcophagus activates, it will mean your doom." Asu: "Just one left." Sho: "I might pee myself a little." Dai: "I'm scared! I'm so scared!" Abi: "My turn. Draw." Abi: "I activate my spell card Pot of Greed." Abi: "I draw two more cards from my deck." Abi: "I activate my spell card Tribute to the Doomed." Abi: "I discard one card to destroy Avian!" Abi: "Then I summon Pharaoh's Servant in attack position!" Abi: "Attack my opponent directly!" Sho: "Bro!" Abi: "I set one card and end my turn." Abi: "How are you feeling?" Juu: "I'm still doing just fine." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I activate my spell card E — Emergency Call from my hand!" Juu: "I add one Elemental HERO from my deck to my hand." Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Sparkman in attack position!" Juu: "Then I activate my spell card R — Righteous Justice!" Sho: "R — Righteous Justice?" Ryo: "It lets him destroy one spell or trap card" Juu: "That doom stuff happens if you get all three Sarcophagus cards out, right? Then it's easy... I've just gotta keep you from activating all three." Juu: "R — Righteous Justice's effect destroys The First Sarcophagus!" Abi: "I discard one card and activate Magic Jammer!" Abi: "I negate R — Righteous Justice's effect, and destroy it!" Juu: "Didn't think you'd let me get away with that." Abi: "You... You tried to destroy my Sarcophagus?" Sho: "Oh! Tragic!" Asu: "Was it really?" Asu: "He is a legendary duelist, one known as a god. I wondered what kind of duel he might show us, but..." Juu: "My turn isn't over yet." Juu: "Sparkman attacks." Abi: "You... What are you planning?" Juu: "What do you mean?" Juu: "Why wouldn't I try to destroy them?" Abi: "You are the first to ever try destroying my Sarcophagus cards." Juu: "Well, wouldn't someone normally do that?" Abi: "Would they?" Juu: "Hey, Your Majesty... Are you kind of bad? They call you "God of Duelists," so I figured you'd be a little more merciless or something..." Sho: "His strategies and deck both seem pretty ordinary. He even has guys with 0 defense points in there." Man: "To be forced back by the likes of Judai... Was he really known as the "God of Duelists" back in ancient Egypt?" Abi: "I attack you directly with Sinister Serpent." Abi: "I attack with Embodiment of Apophis!" Abi: "Go, Hercules Beetle!" Priest: "My, my... We just can't beat you, Pharaoh." Priest: "The world will never see a duelist of your caliber again, Lord Abidos." Priest: "It's hard to intentionally lose such that the Pharaoh doesn't suspect." Abi: "It did all seem a bit empty to me..." Abi: "I suppose it's true." Juu: "Your Majesty..." Man: "Some legendary duelist." Sho: "But it's not like you can beat your king." Asu: "I feel a bit sorry for him." Juu: "That must have been boring." Juu: "Duels are only fun when both people give it all they've got." Juu: "Come on, Your Majesty, let's give it all we've got." Abi: "You... You wish to duel me seriously?" Juu: "Of course I do!" Juu: "Your Majesty..." Abi: "Come, then! Let us show no mercy!" Juu: "From the start, I never did!" Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "I'm gonna show you something, Your Majesty!" Abi: "I activate my spell card The Third Sarcophagus!" Asu: "He has all three Sarcophagus cards!" Man: "But what will they do?" Abi: "By sending all three cards to the graveyard," Juu: "Spirit of the Pharaoh?" Juu: "2500 attack points?" Juu: "What the heck?" Abi: "You would mock the soul of a pharaoh?! When I succeed in Special Summoning Spirit of the Pharaoh," Abi: "Let's go! Draw!" Juu: "I activate my trap card Invincible Hero!" Abi: "Invincible Hero?" Juu: "Now Sparkman can't be destroyed this turn." Abi: "But I am not after Sparkman. I am targeting you." Abi: "I activate my spell card Thousand Energy!" Abi: "It increases the attack points of all Level 2 monsters on the field by 1000 points!" Juu: "What?" Sho: "Bro..." Dai: "Their attack points now exceed Sparkman's by 300." Asu: "Sparkman wasn't destroyed," Sho: "So a total of 1200 points?" Abi: "Then Spirit of the Pharaoh attacks!" Sho: "Bro!" Abi: "I tribute one monster from my side of the field," Abi: "I recover life points equal to the attack points of the monster I tributed. I also add a card with the same name" Abi: "This is my End Phase. As a cost for my spell card Thousand Energy," Abi: "I end my turn!" Sho: "Bro..." Ryo: "It's okay, Sho." Sho: "But..." Ryo: "Look at his face." Abi: "If you have lost, why not honestly admit to it?" Juu: "I'm not beaten yet." Abi: "That's not honest at all." Juu: "Here I go! It's my turn! Draw!" Juu: "Okay." Juu: "I summon Elemental HERO Clayman in attack position!" Juu: "And I activate my spell card O — Oversoul from my hand! This lets me Special Summon one Normal Monster with "Elemental HERO" in the name" Juu: "I summon Avian in attack position!" Abi: "It's no use." Juu: "You had to get three cards in play together, right? But I needed to get four!" Juu: "The "H" of H — Heated Heart. The "E" of E — Emergency Call. The "R" of R — Righteous Justice. And the "O" of O — Oversoul." Juu: "I banish the four of them from my graveyard. That's the activation condition for Hero Flash!!" Abi: "Hero Flash!!" Juu: "I activate my spell card Hero Flash!! from my hand. I Special Summon Elemental HERO Burstinatrix from my deck in attack position!" Juu: "What do you think? I've got four Elemental HEROs. Cool, huh?" Abi: "All those small heroes together can't do anything! You still can't beat me!" Juu: "Dummy! You can't know how a duel will turn out until the very end!" Abi: "I-Impudent fool! Do you not know who I am?" Juu: "You might be a king, but you're still stupid." Abi: "Only stupid people call others "stupid"!" Juu: "That's right! I am stupid!" Sho: "This is starting to look like an argument between children." Man: "On both sides." Asu: "But they appear to be having fun." Abi: "If you want to try it, go ahead! My Spirit of the Pharaoh has the higher attack points!" Juu: "The effect of Hero Flash!! lets my Elemental HEROs attack you directly." Juu: "Gotcha! This has been really fun, Your Majesty." Juu: "Go, HEROs! Attack him directly! Sure-Kill Hero Flash!!" Asu: "That's Hero Flash!!" Man: "It's no different from Ojama Delta Hurricane." Sho: "That's a very Bro-like combo." Juu: "HEROs rock! Duels rock!" Juu: "Hey! Are you okay, Your Majesty?" Abi: "Do you know why I became a dark duelist?" Abi: "I wished to duel such a one as you, even if only once." Juu: "Fun, huh?" Abi: "Yes." Abi: "Now, I am ready for paradise." Juu: "I see. That's good." Abi: "However..." Abi: "Why not come with me?" Sho: "No way!" Abi: "You cannot have a duel that fun only once. It would be a waste!" Abii: "So, come." Juu: "It sounds easy, but..." Sho: "B-Bro! No! No! Absolutely not!" Man: "Yes! Take him! Take him!" Sho: "Hey!" Juu: "H-Hey, now... Couldn't you wait a hundred years or so? Afterward, I'll duel you whenever you want." Abi: "One hundred years?" Abi: "Well, compared to three thousand, they should pass in the blink of an eye. I accept." Abi: "I shall be waiting!" Man: "Isn't that nice, Judai? You know where you'll go when you die." Juu: "You guys can come, too. I'd like to give that king guy many more serious duels!" Man: "I refuse. I'd prefer not to spend the afterlife in your company." Juu: "What's the problem? We're friends, right?" Man: "Who are you calling a friend? Who?" Sho: "Huh? Manjome, can you make the cut for paradise?" Man: "What's that supposed to mean?!" Juu: "Let's go home and eat!" Sho: "Yeah, I'm starved!" Dai: "To purify a dark duelist via a duel... Not bad at all, Judai." Sho: "Bro! Bad news!" Juu: "What? Don't tell me..." Sho: "Isn't that where we fought that scam duelist, Titan? If he appears again, Asuka will..." Juu: "Yeah. Now I know that that was a dark duel. Don't go, Asuka..." Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Dark Arena Activate! Asuka Versus Titan."

Bmg: "I have a feeling something fun is about to happen!" Blue: "Welcome to Obelisk Blue!" Man: "Here you are." Man: "Please enjoy it." Momo: "He's so hot!"

And this fried octopus is delicious." Sho: "Gotta hurry! Gotta hurry!" Sho: "Hayato, this is the duel stage!" Sho: "Go paint the sign somewhere else." Hay: "Sorry, sorry." Sho: "How's it going?" Sho: ""The famous Red cosplay duel tournament"! Hayato, you're a great artist!" Hay: "I dunno." Sho: "But Des Koala and Des Kangaroo aren't very popular nowadays. You should really put Dark Magician Girl front and center!" Hay: "Dark Magician Girl, huh?" Sho: "Got a problem with that?" Hay: "Well, I guess not..." Sho: "Anyway, Bro and the others are really down about the Instructor Daitokuji thing." Sho: "So it's up to us to make the school festival a blast!" Hay: "You said it." Sho: "Okay, gotta get into it!" Hay: "You're making it too much of a blast!" Bmg: "A cosplay duel? That sounds fun!" Juu: "Where did Instructor Daitokuji run off to?" Asu: "You don't think he was beaten by a dark duelist, do you?" Mis: "I doubt it. Fubuki said it was Instructor Daitokuji" Ryo: "That doesn't necessarily make him our enemy, though." Juu: "I believe in Instructor Daitokuji." Man: "Here, kitty kitty! Here, kitty kitty! Come on, I've got a toy for you!" Juu: "Hey, Manjome!" Mis: "Thunder, what are you doing?" Man: "I'm trying to lure that fat cat here. Wherever he is, Daitokuji won't be far." Sho: "Manjome?" Juu: "What's up, Sho?" Juu: "A cosplay duel?!" Sho: "Hayato told me it's Red's traditional exhibit!" Juu: "Really?" Hay: "Yeah." u: "Sounds fun." Juu: "You didn't know?" Ryo: "I've been to Yellow's fair, but I've never been this far down." Sho: "That's just the problem. No one comes to Red's exhibit because we don't have any girls!" Mis: "Well, there aren't any girls in Yellow, either." Sho: "That's what got me thinking!" Mis: "He isn't listening..." Sho: "At times like these, you need beauty appeal. So, Asuka..." Asu: "Me?" Sho: "Please do this to help the Red dorm!" Asu: "W-Wait a minute, Sho. Stop it. I'm a Blue, anyway..." u: "Why not do it?" u: "I'd like to see you cosplay, too." Asu: "Brother..." Mis: "Maybe I'll also take part." Juu: "Sounds fun!" Hay: "B-But Dark Magician Girl is—" Sho: "All right! Her brother gave his blessing, too! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!" Asu: "Guess I have no choice..." Sho: "Why is Ms. Tome the one dressed up as Dark Magician Girl?!" Hay: "I forgot to mention it, but last year, our Dark Magician Girl was Ms. Tome." Sho: "You never mentioned that..." Tome: "How rude! Dark Magician Girl is my specialty! See? Look how perfectly it fits!" Tome: "That's odd! Last year, it fit perfectly! Did it shrink?" Sho: "My precious Dark Magician Girl!" Man: "Here, kitty kitty..." Hay: "Wow! That's great!" Hay: "Asuka, you're Harpie Lady, then?" Asu: "It feels a little flashy to me. But this was the only one they had for women." Hay: "It's okay! It works!" Juu: "Hayato... Your language is getting strange." Asu: "I was actually hoping to call Junko and Momoe..." Trio: "The Harpie Lady Sisters!" Asu: "...but they ran away from me. So? What are you going to choose, Judai?" Juu: "I'm..." Sho: "Bro, what outfit is that?" Juu: "I just started grabbing stuff." Asu: "That isn't exactly cosplay." Sho: "Well, it is a festival." Green: "Hey, Manjome Thunder!" Black: "#1 in Japan!" Man: "That's "#1 in the world"!" Yel: "So manly!" Man: "Of course I am!" Juu: "XYZ-Dragon Cannon?" Hay: "That's really professional work!" Man: "I'm a man who gets things done." Asu: "But it looks pretty great on you." Man: "R-Really, Tenjoin?" Man: "Oh, darn. I wish I'd brought a camera." Sho: "Huh? Manjome, your face is all red. I wonder what you're thinking." Man: "Silence!" Man: "Now, everyone! Why don't we start the Slifer Red cosplay duel?" All: "Yeah!" Yellow: "What are they doing?" Blue: "A cosplay duel? That sounds fun!" Man: "First, what daring duel monster will fight Judai Yuki here?" Juu: "Straight to me? Well, okay. Let's do it, Thunder." Man: "You idiot! You think I can duel in this getup? Think before you speak." Juu: "Oh, right. Then, Hayato?" Hay: "I'm the stage crew today." Juu: "Then, Sho?" Sho: "Oh... I completely forgot to cosplay. I'll handle the play-by-play today!" Asu: "Brother..." u: "Oh, in the short time I was away, my sister's become such a lovely lady. It makes me so happy." Asu: "Brother, that picture..." u: "I was thinking of distributing it to the members of the Asuka fan club." Asu: "Wait a minute, Brother!" u: "Oh, no!" Sho: "Fubuki is..." Juu: "...that kind of guy?" Man: "He got a picture of Tenjoin! Fubuki, I'm in your debt..." Juu: "But then I don't have anyone to fight." Girl: "Excuse me! I'd like to duel, too!" All: "Dark Magician Girl?" Sho: "It's not Ms. Tome!" Boys: "Hey, it's Dark Magician Girl... She's so cute! She looks just like the real thing!" Girl: "Can I?" Man: "Of course." Juu: "He was?" Sho: "But who is that? There are no girls in Slifer Red." Girl: "Try to take it easy on me!" Cro: "I see the Red dorm event has a lot of excitement around it." Mis: "Darn... My cosplay took so long, I showed up too late." Cro: "And who is Signor Judai's opponent?" Ryo: "Dark Magician Girl?" Cro: "How pretty! How cute! How grazie!" Sho: "Dark Magician Girl is standing on the stage I built!" Sho: "This is the best idea I've ever had!" Man: "Sho Marufuji! Get to ringside for the play-by-play at once!" Man: "Don't keep your color commentator waiting! Play-by-play!" Sho: "Sorry!" Sho: "We're now coming to the main event!" Man: "There's nothing but the main event." Sho: "We'll be holding a cosplay duel of Judai Yuki versus Dark Magician Girl!" Sho: "Handling color commentary is the legendary XYZ-Dragon." Man: "Hi." Sho: "While I, Sho Marufuji, will handle the play-by-play!" Yellow: "We don't care about that! Just get to it!" Sho: "Oh! The duel monsters have finally appeared!" Man: "What are you talking about?" Sho: "In the red corner, the mystery duel monster, Judai Yuki!" Boy: "What's that? It isn't anything. What is he, stupid?" Juu: "I'm not doing this! I can't duel in this stuff, anyway!" Sho: "Oh, Judai's taking off his costume." Man: "Took him long enough to realize." Sho: "Um, it's supposed to be a cosplay duel," Sho: "But getting back to the point... In the blue corner, this is amazing." Man: "I told you, she's been here from the start." Sho: "It's just for flavor." Girl: "Thanks for cheering me on today!" Man: "Hey, were you over there for a minute?" Sho: "Was I? I'm sure it was just your imagination." Man: "Are you sure?" Sho: "Now, both of you, extend your duel disks!" Juu: "I don't know who you are, but let's give it all we've got!" Girl: "I sure will!" Both: "Duel!" Sho: "I decide who goes first, so Dark Magician Girl gets it!" Cro: "How noisy." Mis: "Judai's being treated like the away team." Dark: "My turn. Draw!" Dark: "I set a monster." Kids: "Great one, Dark Magician Girl! You're so cute!" Dark: "Hi!" Juu: "This is gonna be tough..." Dark: "I end my turn!" Sho: "Bravo, Dark Magician Girl! Now, moving on. It's Judai's turn." Juu: "My turn! Draw! I summon Bubbleman in attack position." Sho: "Now, Mr. XYZ-Dragon, what do you think of this move by Judai?" Man: "I'm sure he did it so he could draw two cards from his deck." Juu: "Bubbleman's effect lets me draw two cards." Sho: "That's our XYZ-Dragon! Exactly right!" Juu: "Then I activate Polymerization from my hand. I fuse Bubbleman and Burstinatrix, to summon Steam Healer!" Sho: "Do you think it's time for battle?" Man: "Of course." Juu: "Battle! Steam Healer, attack her monster!" Sho: "Oh! Dark Magician Girl's monster was Fire Sorcerer!" Man: "This should be worth seeing." Dark: "Come on, everyone! Let's go!" Dark: "Fire Sorcerer's Flip Effect activates!" Sho: "That was a nice move. Right, Mr. XYZ-Dragon?" Man: "I suppose." Sho: "Dark Magician Girl is looking really cute!" All: "Go, Dark Magician Girl!" Sho: "Here we go!" Kids: "One!" Kids: "Two!" Kids: "Three!" Dark: "Fire!" Juu: "Steam Healer's effect activates!" Sho: "Oh! Judai's fighting back." Juu: "It restored life points for Judai equal to the attack points" All: "Get lost! You're fighting a girl, you know!" Sho: "Oh, passionate booing for Judai!" All: "You coward!" Mis: "Judai can't win, can he?" Cro: "Certainly not." Ryo: "But that Dark Magician Girl is quite shrewd, as well." Dark: "My turn. Here I go!" Dark: "Draw." Dark: "I summon Magician's Valkyria in attack position." Sho: "Good one. As long as that card's out," Man: "I'm the color commentator!" Sho: "S-Sorry." Dark: "I activate Dimension Fusion from my hand! I pay 2000 life points," Sho: "Will she be summoning Magician's Valkyria and Dark Magician Girl?" Dark: "Right-o!" Cro: "Bravo, Dark Magician Girl!" Mis: "I thought only the legendary King of Duelists," Ryo: "Is that the real thing?" Sho: "Okay! Let's go, everyone! One! Two! Three!" All: "Battle." Dark: "I attack Steam Healer with Dark Magician Girl!" Dark: "Black Burning!" Juu: "You got me that time." Dark: "I'm not done yet." Dark: "Now it's time for my direct attack. Magician's Valkyria attacks!" Sho: "Here we go!" Dark: "Double..." All: "Magic... Illusion!" Juu: "This is seriously rough..." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I activate Fusion Recovery from my hand! I can add one fusion-component monster" Juu: "Then I fuse Burstinatrix and Avian," Kids: "What the heck, Judai?" Kid: "What are you, a child? Go easy on her!" Sho: "Bro, you're so mean!" Man: "Showing no mercy, even against a girl. That's the wicked cruelty we expect from Judai Yuki." Juu: "Hey, now... Wait a minute. I'm the one in trouble." Ryo: "It's true that, as long as Magician's Valkyria is on the field," Mis: "I see. One Valkyria will protect the other, and vice-versa." Juu: "I set two cards and end my turn." Dark: "What cards did he set?" Dark: "I'd better work hard." Dark: "Thanks, everyone!" Juu: "Oh, jeez." Man: "It seems Judai's cut off on all sides." Sho: "Well, it's Dark Magician Girl's turn!" Dark: "Draw!" Dark: "Thanks, everyone. I increase Dark Magician Girl's attack points by 700," Sho: "Let's go, everyone!" Sho: "Countdown... One!" Cro: "Two!" Man: "Three!" All: "Battle!" Girl: "I attack Flame Wingman with Dark Magician Girl!" Juu: "I activate my trap Staunch Defender!" Asu: "That card forces an opponent into battle..." Dark: "But you have another card set, don't you?" Juu: "I also activate my other trap, Hero Barrier!" Dark: "Oopsy! So that's what that was." Sho: "What? What is that, Mr. XYZ-Dragon?" Man: "Staunch Defender forces battle to happen." Sho: "Forces battle?" All: "You fiend! You devil!" Juu: "Now, come on. Flame Wingman strikes back against Magician's Valkyria!" Juu: "To battle, Flame Wingman!" Sho: "Dark Magician Girl is gonna lose..." Man: "Yeah, that clinched it." Dark: "Yes, yes! Don't be disappointed." Dark: "I'm really happy you all cheered for me today!" Dark: "Okay, time for my last attack. Go, Magician's Valkyria! Magic Illusion!" Sho: "Are you, by chance..." Man: "Flame Wingman deals the attack points of the monster it destroys in battle as damage to the other player." Dark: "Aw! I really did lose." Dark: "But it was super fun!" All: "That was great! We had fun! You did so well!" Sho: "That really was a fun duel to watch. Huh, Manjome?" Man: "I suppose." Juu: "Darn it. Now I'm the villain." Asu: "That isn't true." Asu: "It was a fun duel, right?" Juu: "Yeah, the best." Mis: "I'm sure she feels the same way, too." Ryo: "Yes. Although we don't know who she really is." Juu: "That's right." Juu: "Gotcha! That was a fun duel!" Sho: "Dark Magician Girl... She isn't here." Momo: "Hello! The Harpie Lady Sisters are here!" Jun: "If you want a picture, you'd better line up!" Asu: "J-Junko, stop it!" Sho: "You were the real Dark Magician Girl, weren't you?" Sho: "I bet you came here to duel us, to make Bro and everyone happy." Sho: "I had fun." Sho: "Thanks, Dark Magician Girl." Girl: "I had fun, too. Thanks for the great time." Sho: "Huh?" Sho: "That was a dream, right? That couldn't have happened!" Juu: "What's going on, Sho? What couldn't have happened?" Sho: "B-Bro... Nothing. For a minute there, the world looked all rosy." Juu: "Oh, for a minute there," Sho: "Huh? How do you know about my dream?" Sho: "But it's true! I got a kiss on the cheek." Sho: "I don't care if it was a dream. It was great!" Sho: "Dressed in a fashionable white suit, he drives a jet ski likes a pro. His golden hair blows in the wind!" Juu: "What's with that guy? Is he part of the Seven Stars?" Sho: "He wants to fight them, actually." Juu: "What the heck?" Sho: "The rumors say he's a professional genius gambler." Juu: "Huh? Why is Asuka glaring at him?" Sho: "What? You two know each other? Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: A Second Chance at Asuka's Love?!"

Oja: "Bro!" Oja: "Bro!" Oja: "What happened, Bro? Lately, you've been all spacey." Man: "A dream?" Green: "Ever since the fight with the Seven Stars ended, he's been like this!" Black: "He's acting weird, especially compared to them." Blue: "Judai Yuki's incredible! He finally finished off the Seven Stars, huh?" Yellow: "Keeping him in Slifer Red is a waste." Juu: "Thanks! It's not that big a deal, though!" Sho: "Wow, everyone knows about our fight with the Seven Stars." Hay: "For such a small island, it was a pretty visible fight, after all." Black: "So cool!" Yel: "Brother Black, don't do that." Green: "We'll be struck by Thunder lightning?" Man: "Who cares about duels?" All: "Huh?" Man: "All that matters to me now..." Man: "Tenjoin, at the time, I..." Man: "Out in that cold blackness, I could feel nothing but your heartbeat." Man: "It's as if you were right next to me. So kind... So warm... I wanted to stay like that with you. "Judai, lose! Judai, lose!" I repeated those words in my mind, over and over." Man: "I have to tell her how I feel. Leaving things half-done like this, I..." Man: "Tenjoin! Then she is with the Kaiser!" Ryo: "How has Fubuki been?" Asu: "He's fine now. Physically and mentally, he's the brother I know." Ryo: "I see. That's good. Then I can graduate without any worries. I'll be graduating for Fubuki, too." Asu: "Thanks, Ryo... I think of you as a big brother, too. And I've presumed upon you so much..." Asu: "I can't count all the times you've helped me." Ryo: "And now your real brother will be able to help you." Ryo: "Well..." Ryo: "Maybe you'll be the one who has to help Fubuki sometime." Man: "Tenjoin..." Man: "That's..." Man: "Fubuki!" Man: "It's Fubuki, and he's surfing!" Hib: "Manjome!" Girls: "Fubuki!" Jun: "Could I have your autograph?" ub: "Sure thing." ub: "Here." Both: "Thank you!" ub: "What do your eyes behold?" Momo: "The sky... Ten..." ub: "...join!" Man: "Th-This is..." ub: "Oh, sorry, sorry." Man: "Fubuki Tenjoin... He's like some kind of love wizard." Man: "Master... Please, give this humble Jun Manjome your aid!" ub: "I see. The girl that's on your mind is Asuka, right?" ub: "Back then, your feelings were resounding throughout the universe." Man: "Sorry. I know she's your little sister." ub: "There's nothing to apologize for. I'm on the side of anyone who's in love." Man: "But Tenjoin has the Kaiser." ub: "Does she? It's hard to know for sure how someone feels. How do you plan to make your feelings known to Asuka?" ub: "That's it! A duel!" Man: "A duel?" ub: "Love is a delicate thing..." ub: "But if you can convert it into numerical values," ub: "a duel can be a love barometer." Yellow: "Bro! We recovered your deck, which is more precious than love!" Man: "My deck?" ub: "Let me have a look." ub: "This is a fine deck. But it isn't good to always push. It's important to step back occasionally, too. Love is about the back and forth." Man: "R-Right." ub: "I'll help you construct your deck." ub: "Then the question becomes how to put the challenge before her." Same: "It isn't over... His shadow is still creeping around here." Same: "We drove out all the Seven Stars." ub: "Quiet!" Same: "E-Emergency!" Juu: "Did you hear? The Seven Spirit Gate keys..." Juu: "What the heck was he thinking?!" Same: ""I'll be waiting on the beach. Thunder."" Sho: "Manjome!" Juu: "What are you trying to do, Manjome?" Asu: "Manjome, return the keys." Man: "No." Asu: "Why are you doing this?" Man: "S-So..." Man: "So that I could duel you, Tenjoin." Juu: "What the heck? Why not challenge her normally?" Man: "Normally wouldn't be good enough! I'm putting the Seven Spirit Gate keys on the line against a date with Tenjoin." Man: "It's a love duel!" All: "A love duel?" Asu: "Manjome, stop this nonsense." ub: "It's not nonsense, Asuka!" Asu: "Brother!" Ryo: "Fubuki, you..." ub: "Manjome is putting his true, manly feelings on the line to challenge you. Asuka, will you put your true, womanly feelings on the line to answer him?" Sho: "So that's the kind of person Fubuki is?" Juu: "No one said anything about this." Asu: "Is my brother behind this?" Ryo: "Fubuki's bad habit has returned." Juu: "What bad habit?" Man: "Tenjoin!" Asu: "Manjome... I guess we can't just talk this out." ub: "Asuka!" Asu: "Very well, I accept this duel." Man: "Yes!" ub: "Well said, Asuka." Asu: "But let me warn you." Man: "That's completely untrue! I know we'll have fun. We'll buy things at the school store, have a picnic on the volcano," Asu: "This is taking forever. If there's something you want to say, say it in the duel!" Man: "Indeed! I'll talk until you're sick of it." Asu: "Here I go, Manjome... Thunder." Man: "Please call me "Jun"..." Both: "Duel!" Both: "Duel!" Man: "I'll go first. Draw! I summon Ojama Yellow in attack position!" Yel: "Oh me, oh my!" Man: "I set two cards" Man: "I can activate this card if there's at least one monster on my side of the field" Man: "Tenjoin, you must choose. Will you take control of one monster on my side of the field or will you take one spell or trap card from my field and set it in your own zone?" Asu: "I don't really want control of Ojama Yellow..." Asu: "I choose the latter effect." Asu: "I'll set your facedown card on my side of the field." Man: "Okay." Man: "Tenjoin doesn't realize that my true love letter is this card!" ub: "What do your eyes behold?" Man: "Ten..." ub: "...join!" Man: "I activate my spell card Giant Trunade from my hand. It returns all spell and trap cards on the field to their owner's hand." Asu: "Jun! Here's my response!" Man: "This card is your response to my love letter. It is Hidden Wish! When Hidden Wish is returned to my hand from your side of the field," Asu: "Huh?" Man: "And it restores 1000 life points to me." Man: "Tenjoin, your wish is to give me life, even at a cost to your own... I have received it!" Sho: "He set it all up himself." Man: "In addition, I activate Treasure Map," Man: "I send this card to the graveyard and draw two cards from my deck." Man: "I set two cards and end my turn." Asu: "My turn. Draw!" Asu: "I summon Blade Skater in attack position. I attack Ojama Yellow with Blade Skater!" Asu: "Axel Slicer!" Oja: "No!" Man: "I activate my set card Ring of Destruction!" Man: "We both take damage equal to Blade Skater's attack points." ub: "Love is about sharing pain. Manjome, the throbbing in your chest is the pain of love!" Man: "Got it, Brother!" ub: "How about you, Asuka?" Asu: "I end my turn." Man: "My turn. Draw! I activate Graceful Charity from my hand." Man: "I draw three cards, and discard two from my hand. I activate Pot of Greed." Man: "I draw two cards." Man: "I activate my trap card Ojama Trio!" Man: "I Special Summon three Ojama Tokens, in defense position, on your side of the field. When one of the Ojama Tokens is destroyed," Man: "Quite a predicament..." Man: "Then I activate my spell card Polymerization from my hand! Come out, trash..." Man: "Ojama Black! Ojama Green! Fuse with Ojama Yellow, to summon Ojama King!" Trio: "Ojama Ultimate Combination!" King: "Ojama King!" Man: "Ojama King's effect activates! As long as this card is on the field, it renders up to three of your Monster Zones unusable." Asu: "He's blocked all of my Monster Zones. As it stands, I cannot summon any monsters." Man: "I set one card and end my turn. Your field is full of my monsters. Which means your heart is bursting with feelings for me!" Man: "Right?" Sho: "I don't think that's how it works." Mis: "I think I kind of understand!" Asu: "If I could summon any of these high-level monsters... But I can't use the Ojama Tokens as tributes for summoning a monster." Asu: "My turn! Draw!" ub: "Asuka..." Asu: "I'll find some way to summon." Asu: "I set one card and end my turn." Man: "My turn. Draw." Man: "I activate my Equip Spell Dress Up from my hand!" Man: "I equip it to Ojama King, increasing its attack points by 300." King: "Cool!" Man: "Dress Up has one additional effect. It lets me choose one of your monsters, switch it to attack position," Sho: "Ojama Tokens have 0 attack points." Juu: "And when they're destroyed, they deal 300 damage to Asuka. Which means..." Man: "Combined with battle damage, it will deal 1800 points of damage to you. Tenjoin... In other words, your life points will be down to 0." Asu: "The card I set was Doble Passe. I can neutralize the destruction of one Ojama Token. But I'll still be left with only 100 life points." Man: "In this duel, my goal isn't to beat you." Man: "It's to earn a place in your heart. So I won't use Dress Up's effect. I'll just attack an Ojama Token with Ojama King!" King: "Here I go!" Juu: "I don't get it! Manjome, what are you trying to accomplish?" Ojama: "Flying Body Attack!" Black: "Subverting the Hierarchy!" Man: "In the moment battle damage is dealt, I activate my trap card Dramatic Crossroads! Once again, you must choose between two different effects. You can randomly discard one card from your hand," Sho: "That's an unreasonable decision." Man: "Tenjoin, if you accept my feelings, then show me your hand. I want to know everything about you. And I want to finish this love duel with your cards and mine united." Man: "This could become our first activity as a couple!" Man: "Tenjoin, please..." ub: "Unfortunately, Manjome's love life is already at 0." Asu: "I'm sorry, Manjome. I prefer to discard one card at random." Man: "No!" Asu: "I will not betray the duel. I am in love with dueling itself..." ub: "Manjome!" ub: "I'm sorry, Manjome! Let's throw in the towel!" Man: "I'm not out yet!" Man: "In that case, I will steal your heart by winning the duel!" ub: "Manjome!" Yel: "Bro! You're so cool!" Man: "Tenjoin, choose one card from your hand and discard it!" Asu: "If I end up selecting that card, I'll have no chance to win." Asu: "My turn! Draw!" Asu: "Manjome, I'll show you all that I feel for dueling." Asu: "I activate Ritual Sanctuary from my hand! By discarding one spell card from my hand, I can add one Ritual Spell from my deck to my hand. Now I activate the spell I drew, Machine Angel Ritual, from my hand." Man: "What?" Man: "What's going on?" Asu: "I can Ritual Summon a monster with "Cyber Angel" in the name." Man: "Impossible! Your Monster Zones are all occupied. And you shouldn't be able to use Ojama Tokens as tributes for a summon!" Asu: "That doesn't apply to tributes for Ritual Summons." Man: "If you destroy an Ojama Token, you'll take 300 points of damage." Asu: "It isn't destruction. It's a tribute. The Ritual Summon requires a number of tributes that, added together," Asu: "I tribute three Ojama Tokens" Asu: "I attack Ojama King with Cyber Angel Benten! Angelic Turn!" Oja: "Ow!" Oja: "What are you doing?" Asu: "Cyber Angel Benten's effect activates. When this card destroys a monster in combat," Man: "Oh, no. Ojama King's defense points are 3000..." Man: "I lost the duel. My love was rejected." Man: "And yet, I am..." Man: "One... Ten... Hundred... Thousand. Manjome Thunder!" ub: "Asuka, why won't you fall for the cool Thunder here?!" Asu: "Manjome..." Juu: "What's going on?" Sho: "What's with these tremors?" Juu: "Thunder, enough of this nonsense! You've been dumped, and that's that!" Sho: "No, I'm pretty sure it's not Manjome who's doing this." Juu: "Then who is?" Sho: "Look! A robot dropped out of the sky! The Seven Spirit Gates are opening... But I thought the battle with the Seven Stars was over!" Juu: "I don't care if you're a robot or some old man! I'll take you on!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Versus Kagemaru (Part 1) Two Phantasms."

Go: "Manjome, sir... I'm so happy I get to duel you!" Man: "You're that happy about the thought of getting crushed by me?" Man: "I'll teach you your place. Give me all you've got." Juu: "Not good! You think it's started already?" Sho: "But the duel between Manjome and the new kid..." Asu: "It was decided very suddenly." p: "Everyone, your attention, s'il vous plaît." Sho: "It's Head Teacher Napoleon." p: "Today, we shall hold a star-finder duel to uncover new talent. Our star candidate is Monsieur Manjome! If he wins, he may return to the shining embrace of Obelisk Blue!" Aud: "Seriously? Cool! That's right... Manjome used to be a Blue, didn't he?" Juu: "This is neat!" Sho: "But why Manjome? He should have picked Bro." Cro: "That would not do!" Sho: "Acting Headmaster Cronos!" Cro: "You need not say "acting." There is a profound reason as to why Signor Manjome was chosen." Asu: "What do you mean?" Man: "The young genius," Asu: "Genius pro..." Sho: "duelist..." Juu: "Edo Phoenix?" Cro: "I thought that he would bring our school into the major league! But..." Cro: "He loves us, he loves us not. He loves us, he loves us not. He loves us..." p: "Acting Headmaster Cronos!" Cro: "You need not emphasize "acting"!" p: "What is it that you are doing?" Cro: "Don Edo has not come to class... Perhaps he dislikes our school." Cro: "He loves us, he loves us not." p: "That is for romantic love!" Cro: "He loves us not..." Cro: "This is a tragedy!" Cro: "I do not wish to admit it, yet I must! But if Don Edo will not suffice..." Cro: "I shall promote this plan! Signor Manjome shall be the star in Don Edo's place," p: "A Slifer Red could never be a star!" Cro: "Do not be so certain! The Manjome Group's money and power," Cro: "However, we must first promote him back to Blue." Asu: "And that is the profound reason?" Cro: "Indeed it is." p: "I shall now introduce his opponent. The hyper-elite who graduated first in his middle school class..." p: "Hozan Gokaido!" Juu: "Students who come up from the middle school" Sho: "Just like Manjome in his first year, huh?" Cro: "Signor Manjome fell to Red at mid-year. To advance to Blue, Signor Manjome must defeat Signor Gokaido," p: "Now, let us begin the duel," Go: "You were the strongest in middle school," Man: "I wasn't sent there. That obnoxious Judai refused to rise to my level," Juu: "Wh-What is he talking about?" Sho: "Then he doesn't need to duel, to advance to Blue?" Man: "But now, I've tired of such games. I will beat you and return to Blue! Then, Judai, I can finally get you out of my life." Both: "Duel!" Go: "My turn. Draw!" Go: "I summon Marauding Captain. And I activate its effect! When Marauding Captain is summoned," Man: "All the minor monsters in the world won't help you here." Go: "I'm not done yet, of course... I activate my spell card Jewel Sword!" Go: "I equip it to Marauding Captain!" Go: "And I also activate Divine Sword — Phoenix Blade!" Sho: "He already has Equip Spells on two monsters?" Juu: "I can see why he led his middle school class!" Go: "I set a card and end my turn!" Go: "Now, it's your turn, Manjome, sir! You may not know this," Go: "Your careful card selection, your battle tactics," Go: "I want you to show me that ultimate duel!" Man: "The enthusiasm and arrogance of the chosen elite. You could have been me one year ago." Man: "Can you arrive at the truth, as I finally did?" Man: "I won't hold back." Man: "I summon X-Head Cannon!" Man: "Now I activate my spell card Graceful Charity!" Man: "Its effect lets me draw three cards and discard two." Man: "The first card I discard is Chthonian Polymer." Man: "The second is Ojamagic!" Go: "Oja... Ojamagic?" Man: "When this card is sent to the graveyard," Trio: "You called?" Yel: "Let's beat that guy real quick!" Go: "You're using small cards like those?" Man: "Just watch me." Go: "Wh-What's that?" Man: "By sending three Ojamas to the graveyard," Trio: "Oh, no!" Man: "If you're the hyper-elite, then I'm the hyper-super elite!" Man: "I can find uses for even the smallest of cards." Man: "Come out, Y-Dragon Head... Z-Metal Tank. Let's go! I fuse X, Y, and Z," Go: "A-Amazing..." Man: "And I activate XYZ-Dragon Cannon's effect! By sending these two cards to the graveyard," Man: "Now your side of the field is wide open. Attack him directly! XYZ Hyper Cannon!" Go: "Jewel Sword's effect activates! When it's sent to the graveyard, I draw one card!" Man: "I end my turn." p: "Quite good." Cro: "Of course he is." Cro: "Although he has stumbled into Slifer Red, his skill is origami crane-tier." p: ""Crane," you say?" Cro: "Signor Manjome... My hopes are high!" Go: "Here I come, Manjome, sir!" Go: "My turn! I activate Pot of Greed!" Go: "Its effect lets me draw two cards." Go: "There it is..." Go: "I activate my set card Call of the Haunted!" Go: "I resurrect one monster from my graveyard." Go: "Return, Warrior Lady of the Wasteland!" Go: "Then I equip her with my spell card Great Sword!" Man: "Another Equip Spell? A mere 300-attack-point bonus won't let you beat my XYZ-Dragon!" Go: "I tribute Warrior Lady of the Wasteland" Man: "What?" Juu: "What's going on?" Asu: "A monster equipped with Great Sword counts as two tributes!" Sho: "So that's what he was after." Go: "I also activate Gilford the Legend's effect. When it's successfully summoned," Go: "First, I equip Divine Sword — Phoenix Blade." Go: "Then Jewel Sword." Go: "And on top of that, Great Sword!" Go: "It's not over yet... I activate Wicked-Breaking Flamberge — Baou from my hand!" Go: "I discard one card to equip it!" Sho: "4000 attack points?" Juu: "Manjome's in trouble!" Go: "Here I go!" Go: "Here I go!" Juu: "Manjome!" Go: "I end my turn." Man: "A duel needs competition to be interesting. My turn. Draw!" Man: "I activate Pot of Greed!" Man: "I draw two cards from my deck. I finally have it. I activate my spell card Ojamandala!" Go: "Ojamandala?" Man: "I pay 1000 life points to Special Summon these three." Trio: "We're back!" Man: "I have all three of the little fools back on the field." Man: "Do you understand what that means?" Go: "Who cares?" Man: "So naïve." Go: "What's that supposed to mean?" Man: "I activate my spell card! Go!" Trio: "Got it!" Yel: "Yellow!" Bla: "Black!" Gre: "Green!" Man: "Take this! Sure-Kill Ojama Delta Hurricane!!" Go: "O-Oh, no... Destroyed, with a weenie attack like that?" Man: "I can use Ojama Delta Hurricane!!" Go: "Jewel Sword's effect activates! When it's sent to the graveyard, I draw one card from my deck." Man: "My last move will be to set one card." Go: "Don't tell me... It's not another Ojama thing, is it?" Man: "I end my turn." Go: "I knew it. When did you start using such a lousy deck?" Go: "I won't forgive you... You're not the Manjome I looked up to!" Man: ""Lousy"? If that's what you think, I'll show you the humiliation of losing to a lousy deck." Go: "I didn't think you were the kind of guy who would duel like this. My turn. Draw! I activate my spell card Premature Burial. I pay 800 life points to Special Summon a monster from my graveyard," Go: "I choose to summon..." Go: "Armed Samurai — Ben Kei!" Go: "Then I activate the effect of Divine Sword — Phoenix Blade from my graveyard. By banishing two Warrior-Type Monsters, I can add this card to my hand. Then I activate Divine Sword — Phoenix Blade" Go: "I will force you to open your eyes. In addition to its normal attack," Man: "What?" Juu: "It can attack three more times?" Sho: "Manjome only has two Ojamas on his side of the field!" Asu: "That isn't good!" Go: "One." Go: "Two." Man: "If I activate Ojama Delta Wear now, I can avoid the direct attack. But if I do that, I'll end up losing an Ojama." Man: "I won't use it!" Go: "My third attack! You see? The cards you're using are garbage" Man: "I activate my trap card!" Man: "Ojama Delta Wear!" Go: "W-Wear?" Man: "This turn, I Special Summon all the Ojamas that you destroyed" Trio: "We're back!" Black: "He was even willing to take damage..." Green: "...to bring us all back together!" Yel: "I'm so moved!" Go: "Academia made the right call." Go: "Slifer Red suits you better. You're an underachiever who puts trash in his deck." Man: ""Underachiever," you say?" Go: "I've heard all about the Slifer Red dorm." Go: "The building's in ruins. The food is terrible." Go: "The rooms are tiny, and the dorm leader is a cat!" Go: "Not only that, but the duelists are all small-time, right?" Man: "It's true that Slifer Red is horrible. And the duelists are all small-time." Man: "But I've learned from them that there's a layer below bottom of the barrel!" Sho: "Hey!" Man: "But being reduced to their level has shown me things" Man: "My turn! Draw!" Man: "You want to know why I needed all three Ojamas together? Here's why!" Man: "I activate my spell card Polymerization!" Yel: "Here we go!" Black: "The Ojama ultimate combination..." Green: "...is here!" Oja: "Ojama King!" Go: "But it has 0 attack points!" Man: "But there's still something only he can do. I activate my spell card! Change! Mecha Ojama King!" Man: "This card tributes Ojama King to Special Summon Mecha Ojama King." Man: "Then I activate Mecha Ojama King's effect!" Man: "Once per turn, I can Special Summon one Ojamachine." Man: "Come out, Ojamachine Yellow!" Man: "Now I activate Ojamachine Yellow's effect!" Man: "I Special Summon Ojamachine Tokens." King: "Sure-Kill Ojamachine Continuous Attack!" Man: "Go!" Go: "What are you trying to do? My monster has 1600 attack points... They have 0!" Go: "I win!" Man: "Ojamachine Yellow reduces any damage I take in battle to 0." Man: "And when it's destroyed, it deals 300 damage to you." Go: "What?" Man: "To fall into hell, and then claw your way back..." Man: "Are you capable of that?" Man: "Go, my garbage!" King: "Charge!" Man: "Well? My year wasn't in vain, was it?" Man: "If you lived a million years, you couldn't learn what I've learned. Coming from the top of your middle school class," Man: "You have no right to look down at Reds or at garbage cards! Now, listen up and remember! I am... One!" All: "Ten!" Trio: "Hundred!" Cro: "Thousand!" Man: "Manjome Thunder!" Juu: "Manjome!" Man: "That isn't..." All: "Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!" Man: "H-Hey!" Cro: "You have such affection for Red? Then I would not dream of forcing you from it." Man: "What?" Cro: "Everyone! Signor Manjome deserves to remain in Slifer Red!" All: "You said it! Yeah!" Man: "Wh-Wha..." Cro: "The vote is unanimous. You will not be moved." p: "Such a sympathetic acting headmaster you are." Man: "Wait a minute!" Crowd: "Manjome! Manjome! Manjome!" Man: "You've got it wrong!" Juu: "Isn't that nice, Manjome?" Man: ""Thunder"!" Sho: "Isn't that nice, Thunder?" Man: "Hey... That's not what I meant!" p: "Watching today's duel has led me to realize... If we wish to produce a star at our Academia, we must push for a more elite education." p: "To achieve this, we should eliminate Slifer Red!" Cro: "But..." p: "It is because of this attitude of yours that you will always be merely "acting" headmaster!" Cro: "Mamma mia!" Sho: "O-Oh, no!" Juu: "What?" Juu: "They're gonna close Slifer Red?!" Juu: "Seriously?" Sho: "That's what I heard... But if Slifer Red gets shut down, what's gonna happen to us?" Sho: "You think we'll all be expelled? I bet that's it! We'll be expelled!" Juu: "Wh-What? What's that?" Sho: "You think they came to tear down the dorm already?!" Juu: "What's this?" Man: "Judai... As tired as I am of our continued association," Man: "In exchange, I'm making some changes," Juu: "Oh, that refarmishing thing?" Sho: "We don't raise cattle." Sho: "But I guess rich people can do that." Juu: "But will they really take down Slifer Red?" Juu: "So heavy! Why do we need to carry all these duel disks?" Sho: "There's been a duel disk-hunter out recently." Juu: "A disk-hunter? Haven't we gone through this before?" Sho: "That was a rare card-hunter! They say this one waits for you in front of the bridge..." Juu: "Me?" Sho: "There he is! Musashibo Benkei!" Juu: "Okay, there we go! Time for a duel!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Tyranno Kenzan Appears, Saurus!"

Sho: "He's not here." Ken: "He's not here." Sho: "He's not here." Ken: "He's not here." Sho: "Hey! You're a first-year, Kenzan!" Sho: "This room is for second-years." Ken: "I will, don... Without Bro here, there's no reason for me to be, saurus. I'll go, don." Mis: "Sorry." Ken: "No, I'm sorry, saurus." Sho: "Bro!" Juu: "Winged Kuriboh..." Juu: "The whiteness... Blinding." Man: "So this is where you've been." Juu: "Manjome..." Man: "How long do you plan to stay like this?" Man: "At least go to class. If you don't, you'll get so bad at dueling, it'll be pathetic. Every day you skip class" Juu: "You might be right." Man: "Answer me seriously! That isn't what you're really thinking." Juu: "I can't duel right now, even if I wanted to. The truth is that I have no idea what to do." Man: "This is so annoying! It's making me crazy, seeing you be so timid!" Man: "Hey! I crawled my way back up here! Even though I lost to you, and after everything..." Juu: "Gotcha." Sai: "The upright Wheel of Fortune. An unforeseen change. It's true that this was an unexpected result." Sai: "Judai Yuki... By becoming fodder for Edo's growth," Sai: "his soul should have become my immaculate servant of white. And then, in accordance with my will, he would have" Sai: "But that is not what happened." Sai: "His spirit appears to have taken significant damage." Sai: "For the moment, his soul is still his own." Sai: "Spirits..." Sai: "He is a duelist who can communicate with the Duel Spirits. That is what my readings foretold." Sai: "Then, it has to do with spirits?" Sai: "The Fool. A pilgrimage. Wandering." Sai: "Judai Yuki will soon leave the island." Sai: "In that case..." Sai: "I shall choose another man." Pilot: "We'll be arriving at Duel Academia shortly." Cro: "I have heard nothing of this. To think Edo Phoenix's manager would" Cro: "It is a true kick in the pantaloni!" p: "Non, non! This is to our advantage! Surely we can work out an arrangement with Edo Phoenix's schedule!" Cro: "Ciao, Signor Saio." p: "A fine bonjour to you... Had you informed us earlier of your arrival," Sai: "Please do not go to any trouble." Cro: "And yet, to see that Edo Phoenix's manager is such a young man... It is a true surprise!" Sai: "Edo and I have been friends since we were young. That personal connection is why I became his manager." Cro: "Incidentally, for what reason did you come to Duel Academia?" p: "But of course it is!" Sai: "No... Regarding Edo, it is just as I told you on the phone." Sai: "His schedule is booked for the next three years. He will only be able to attend classes on travel days for matches." Cro: "Dear, dear..." p: "S'il vous plaît..." Cro: "Then for what purpose did you come to our island?" p: "I know, Monsieur Saio!" p: "Am I not correct?" Sai: "Well, I suppose that is an adequate description." p: "Très bien!" Cro: "Then allow us to offer you a list of our school's finest students!" Sai: "No, I would like to see them for myself. Do not trouble yourselves for my sake. I shall explore this island on my own." p: "Oh, so..." Cro: "What an uncooperative fellow." Sho: "Awful news!" Mis: "What? You mean, Judai..." Sho: "I can't find him anywhere! And all the stuff in his room is gone!" Ken: "Are you serious, don?" Man: "That incredible fool." Sho: "Bro!" Asu: "Judai!" Mis: "Judai!" Ken: "Where the saurus are you? Bro!" Man: "Judai! Come out!" Man: "Judai! You sore loser duelist..." Trio: "Mr. Judai!" Man: "You three! Can't you do anything?" Yel: "What do you want us to do?" Man: "You're card spirits." Man: "Don't you have a search or radar effect? Something?" Green: "Sorry!" Yel: "We're Normal Monsters!" Black: "We got nothin'." Man: "You useless things!" Sai: "Oh? Card spirits?" Man: "Who are you?" Sai: "I beg your pardon." Sai: "I thought that you were talking to someone. But then I saw that you were alone." Man: "I asked who you are." Sai: "Saio. Takuma Saio. I act as manager to your young classmate, Edo Phoenix." Man: "Edo Phoenix's manager?" Sai: "It appears that, like Judai Yuki," Man: "Can you see them, too?" Sai: "I cannot. I foresee them." Man: "What does that mean?" Sai: "How about this? Would you duel me right now? I wish to evaluate your skill." Sai: "If you impress me, I may recommend you to the pro league." Man: "The pro league?" Sai: "Under my personal management, naturally." Yel: "Bro, this guy's kinda scary!" Gre: "Better not get involved with him." Black: "Don't do it!" Man: "Shut up! You stay out of this!" Trio: "But..." Man: "Very well. I accept your offer. You'll see what I can do. My name is Jun Manjome!" Sai: "Mr. Manjome, then. The cards have guided your destiny to this moment!" Man: "Th-This is..." Trio: "We're gonna stay out of it, after all!" Sai: "Now, Mr. Manjome... Shall we begin?" Man: "Who is he?" Both: "Duel!" Man: "What?" Man: "What does he think he's doing? Isn't he going to look at his cards?" Man: "I'll take the first move. Draw! I summon V-Tiger Jet in attack position!" Man: "I also activate my Continuous Spell Frontline Base. Once per turn, during my Main Phase," Man: "I Special Summon W-Wing Catapult in attack position!" Man: "Then I fuse V-Tiger Jet with W-Wing Catapult!" Man: "I Fusion Summon VW-Tiger Catapult in attack position!" Man: "Then I set one card and end my turn." Sai: "My turn. Draw." Sai: "I activate my spell card Vision." Man: "You... You can see the cards?" Sai: "Did I not tell you? I do not see them. I foresee them. I shall envision your destiny." Sai: "I draw one card from my deck." Man: "Wh-What is that eerie card?" Sai: "This is Arcana Force XII — The Hangman." Sai: "This card represents your final fate in the destiny" Man: "What's that supposed to mean? Weren't you supposed to be testing my skill? What's all this nonsense about destiny?" Sai: "I return this card to my deck. Then, Mr. Manjome, I ask you to shuffle this deck... With your own hands." Sai: "Well? Step up to the table." Man: "Sorry, but I don't believe in destiny. I've forged my own future, with my own hands. Good or bad, everything that's happened to me resulted from paths I chose. I'm not the type to rise to such empty provocation." Sai: "How about thinking of it this way? You can choose your destiny, just as you did when you shuffled my deck." Sai: "But once you have chosen your destiny, you cannot then escape it." Sai: "What an amusing thing to do. Incidentally, when the card chosen by Vision is played," Man: "It won't be that easy!" Sai: "Let us continue." Sai: "I activate my spell card Suit of Sword X from my hand. Say the word "stop." If this card stops in an upright position," Sai: "If it is reversed," Man: "Stop!" Man: "Upright?" Sai: "Then it is your monsters that are destroyed!" Sai: "And I summon Knight of Pentacles in defense position." Man: "Again?" Sai: "The effect of Knight of Pentacles. If the card stops upright," Sai: "If it is reversed, it will be destroyed" Man: "Stop!" Man: "It's reversed. It seems I achieved a positive result." Sai: "I end my turn." Man: "It's my turn! Draw!" Man: "I activate my spell card Graceful Charity! I draw three cards from my deck and discard two. I'm going to show you my duel of creation and destruction," Man: "I activate my card Level Modulation." Man: "You draw two cards. And then I can Special Summon" Man: "The monster I summon is Armed Dragon LV7! Then I tribute Armed Dragon LV7" Man: "I activate my trap card Ojama Trio!" Yel: "Oh, me!" Gre: "Oh, my!" Black: "Oh, ho!" Man: "I Special Summon three Ojama Tokens on your side of the field." Sai: "These must be the card spirits with whom he communicates..." Yel: "He really is scary! Get us outta here already!" Man: "I intend to. I activate Armed Dragon LV10's effect. By sending one card to my graveyard I destroy all the monsters on your side of the field!" Trio: "Oh, no!" Man: "For each Ojama Token destroyed, you take 300 damage." Man: "Then I attack you directly with Armed Dragon LV10!" Man: "Armed Big Banisher!" Man: "I end my turn." Man: "Well?" Man: "After all your bluster, you only have 100 life points remaining. "Destiny" is nothing but—" Sai: "My turn." Sai: "Draw. I activate my spell card from my hand." Sai: "Selection of Fate." Sai: "You draw one card from my hand. If it is a monster card, I Special Summon that monster." Sai: "Now, come to my table again." Man: "This again?" Yel: "Don't go, Bro! I've got a real bad feeling about this!" Man: "Shut up! What kind of fool believes in destiny?!" Sai: "Now... Choose one card." Man: "This one." Man: "I-Impossible!" Sai: "Truly, you were unable to escape your destiny. This is the monster card I previously chose with Vision. When this card is played, you take 1000 damage." Sai: "Then, Arcana Force XII — The Hangman's effect activates. If it falls upright, then once per turn," Sai: "If it's reversed, I can destroy one of your monsters" Sai: "Now, stop the card's rotation." Man: "Stop!" Sai: "When I foresaw this destiny," Yel: "Bro!" Man: "I-Impossible!" Sai: "The Hanged Man. The destiny of yours, as foretold by this card is" Sai: "stagnation." Sai: "The card speaks to me. Mr. Manjome, you have a rival that you wish to surpass, do you not?" Sai: "But deep in your heart, you have given up. And not only that. You even make overtures of friendship to this rival," Man: "What are you talking about?" Man: "I'm not afraid of Judai!" Sai: "Yes... It is the stagnation of being unable to beat this Judai Yuki. You must not remain as you are." Sai: "Fortunately, the card you drew is the reversed Hanged Man." Sai: "This foretells progress from stagnation." Man: "An escape from stagnation..." Sai: "Indeed. Destiny can be chosen. This deck represents your destiny up to this point. But from this moment, a new destiny begins." Sai: "I shall give you power." Sai: "Allow me to create for you the deck of destiny you so desire." Sai: "You wish to beat Judai Yuki, right?" Sai: "You can beat him, though..." Man: "I... I..." Sai: "Do you accept? Your destiny is being decided. I shall stop shuffling." Sai: "Are you willing to accept such a meager destiny? Well? You really should be honest about your desires." Sai: "Go on. Go on!" Man: "I... I want to beat Judai Yuki!" Yel: "Bro!" Trio: "No!" Juu: "As I am now, there's nothing I can do." Sai: "I have managed to even take the soul of one who can control spirits." Sai: "Then why not Judai Yuki?" Sai: "The reversed Wheel of Fortune!" Sai: "A setback in destiny..." Sho: "Manjome, you really had us worried! We thought you'd gone missing, too." Sho: "Manjome?" Mis: "What happened, Manjome?" Mis: "What's that uniform?" Man: "Lord Saio is the rightful ruler of the world. Duel Academia will soon be bleached white" Sho: "Bro! Where did you go? Bro!" Juu: "Hey! Where the heck am I?!" Sho: "He went off into the ocean?" Juu: "Hey, it's a dolphin! Hey, the dolphin talked!" Sho: "Bro could do it." Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: New Elemental HERO Neos."

Voice: "Judai... Judai!" Juu: "You're..." Kid: "Hey, what's with him?" Kid: "Didn't he have a black uniform before?" Kid: "I bet it turned white after he washed it for once." Man: "If you're interested in my uniform," Kid: "N-No! No, thanks!" Man: "They don't realize that this whole school will soon be bleached white." p: "I feel this may be our chance." Cro: "Oh? What sort of chance?" p: "Our chance to crush Slifer Red, of course! Judai Yuki is missing, and Manjome is acting strangely. We can seize this chance to sweep away those underachievers," Cro: "But I have, of late, finally grown accustomed to my headmaster's signature!" p: ""Acting" headmaster!" Cro: "Finished! Yes!" p: "You have no interest? Removing "acting" from your title" Cro: "However, Asuka Tenjoin resides in that dorm, does she not? There are few duelists that can defeat her." p: "You speak truly." p: "Yet there is one duelist at this school who could beat her!" Sai: "That was fast, Edo." Sai: "The other day, I went to Duel Academia. I have taken a slight interest in that school." Edo: "You, interested in Duel Academia?" Sai: "At that school," Edo: "Things you can't foresee?" Sai: "What is wrong, Edo?" Edo: "I was just surprised. This is the first time I've ever heard you retract a prediction!" Sai: "I am not retracting it. But there is one who overcame the destiny I foretold for him." Edo: "Overcame destiny?" Sai: "If you are curious, you should go to Duel Academia once more." Edo: "I have no further business at that school." Sai: "Edo, this sorrow is destiny." Edo: "Destiny? Who are you?" Sai: "I am Takuma Saio. You have a considerable talent sleeping within you. I shall guide you to your destiny." Edo: "The destinies Saio foretells should be absolute. Someone who can overcome them..." Edo: "Who could it be?" Edo: "Edo Phoenix here." p: "Oh, Edo Phoenix!" p: "Do please hear what I have to say. The matter is thus..." Edo: "Is what you say really true?" Asu: "What's with this sign?" Ken: ""In the morning, a representative of this dorm will duel a representative of the school. If the school wins," Man: "Someday, this whole school..." Man: "What happens to this dorm is irrelevant." Asu: "Manjome..." Ken: "I wasn't counting on him anyway, saurus." Asu: "I shall take on this duel." Asu: "I am the only one capable of protecting this dorm now." Ken: "Asuka! You're so brave, saurus!" Ken: "Oh, but at a time like this, where is Bro, don?" Ken: "A shooting star... Please let Asuka win tomorrow." Sho: "Asuka!" Asu: "Sho! Misawa!" Mis: "Tenjoin, we heard all about it." p: "How stubborn they are." Mis: "Head Teacher Napoleon... Acting Headmaster Cronos." Asu: "As promised, I've come." p: "It is..." Edo: "It is I." All: "Edo Phoenix?!" Edo: "I shall be facing you." Cro: "Mamma mia! What is Edo Phoenix doing here?" p: "Naturally, I called him here." Cro: "What sort of terms could you have offered him?" p: "Before, we heard that Edo is searching for his father's killer. I told him that I am acquainted with a boss in the dueling underworld. And that, if he wins, I will ask that boss about the man" Cro: "Do you truly know such a man?" p: "He is a complete work of fiction." Cro: "Mamma—" p: "It is of no matter." p: "Now, let us head for the dueling arena." Man: "Have you come with orders from Lord Saio?" Edo: "Orders from Saio?" Man: "Yes, Society of Light orders." Edo: "Society of Light?" Man: "You haven't, then? I had assumed Lord Saio ordered you to come here and put an end to Judai." Edo: "Judai? Why would I duel him? I've already beaten him. I have no reason to fight him." Man: "The deck with which you fought Judai" Man: "But even though he lost to you," Man: "That means Lord Saio's power doesn't work on Judai." Edo: "Saio's power in my deck? What are you talking about?" Man: "Don't you know anything? This school will eventually belong to Lord Saio. And someday, Judai will return." Man: "But if you won't fight him, I'll just beat him myself." Edo: "Hey! Answer my question!" Edo: "What's with that guy? But Saio spoke of a person who had overcome destiny. Could it be Judai he meant?" Asu: "Wh-What? What's with his fighting aura? Is this a pro duelist's drive?" p: "The duel to determine Slifer Red's continued existence" Asu: "I'm ready." Edo: "Let us finish this quickly." Juu: "Wait!" Sho: "That voice!" Ken: "I-It can't be..." Both: "Bro!" Asu: "Judai!" Edo: "Judai?" Juu: "Hold that duel!" Juu: "Excuse me." Asu: "Judai!" Sho: "Bro, where have you been?" Juu: "Actually, my boat was dragged out to sea, and I ran into a new HERO deck." Edo: "A new HERO deck?" Juu: "Yeah! This big light slammed down from space and enveloped me, and these new HEROs showed up and breathed new life into my deck!" Asu: "Judai..." Mis: "I didn't understand one word." Sho: "Breathed new life into it..." Ken: "Bro, does that mean you can see your cards again, don?" Juu: "Yeah, I'm all better. That's why I came back to the island. But then, I started hearing voices calling me from different places..." Juu: "You... Are you the one who called to me?" e: "That's right, Judai. I am the Neo-Spacian of fire, Flare Scarab." Juu: "Of course! You're a Neo-Spacian, like Aqua Dolphin! That really happened. Then Aqua Dolphin wasn't a dream, either!" e: "Indeed... Like Neos, we are here to aid you." Juu: ""We"?" e: "Now, hurry. We must travel to meet our comrades." Juu: "W-Wait." Voice: "Judai..." Voice: "Judai!" Juu: "You're the Neo-Spacian of wind?" Air: "My name is Air Hummingbird. Now, Judai. Together, let us protect Neo Space from the light of destruction." Juu: "Pal..." Juu: "Winged Kuriboh!" Juu: "There you are, pal!" Juu: "Now, my deck is truly complete." Sho: "Bro's new deck..." Juu: "And I made up my mind, Edo. I really wanted you to be the first to see my deck. Because it's thanks to you" Edo: "A new HERO deck? I told you, there are no cards on Earth that can beat the D-HEROs!" Juu: "But I told you, this deck came from space!" Mis: "Judai... You know," Juu: "We can talk about the nitpicky details later!" Mis: "N-Nitpicky?" Juu: "Anyway, Asuka, tag me in." Juu: "It's okay, right?" Juu: "I wanna fight Edo again." p: "But..." Mis: "This duel is to decide the fate of Slifer Red. There shouldn't be an issue with Judai stepping in." Cro: "Indeed. I shall allow a change of duelists. You also agree, Head Teacher Napoleon?" p: "I have no choice, Acting Cronos..." Juu: "Okay! That's great! Let's have fun again, Edo." Edo: "It will turn out the same way." Asu: "Judai!" Juu: "Thanks, Asuka." Cro: "Let the duel commence!" Juu: "Let's go, Edo!" Both: "Duel!" Edo: "My turn. Draw!" Edo: "Come on, Destiny HERO — Diamond Dude!" Sho: "There it is, a D-HERO." Ken: "Looks like he's putting the pressure on from the start, don." Edo: "I activate Diamond Dude's effect. I check the top card of my deck." Edo: "I drew the spell card Graceful Charity." Edo: "My turn is over." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I summon my new ally! Lend me your aid, Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin!" Juu: "These are my new allies, the Neo-Spacians." Mis: "Did he really meet aliens?" Juu: "And I activate my spell card Fake Hero! This card lets me Special Summon one monster from my hand. However, that card can't attack," Juu: "I summon Bladedge." Juu: "I activate Aqua Dolphin's effect, Echo Location!" Juu: "It lets me discard one card, and choose one monster from your hand." Edo: "Captain Tenacious!" Juu: "Then, if I have a monster on my side of the field with more" Juu: "I also set two cards." Edo: "My turn... Draw! In this instant," Edo: "I draw three cards, and discard two from my hand." Edo: "And now... Field Spell Mausoleum of the Emperor! This card's effect lets either player pay 1000 life points to tribute" Edo: "Come on, Destiny HERO — Dreadmaster! When Dreadmaster is summoned," Edo: "I choose to summon Captain Tenacious and Doom Lord. Dreadmaster's attack points equal" Sho: "He summoned three monsters at once!" Ken: "He's finally getting serious, don." Mis: "If Judai takes this attack, he'll be almost out of life." Edo: "Let us pit your new HEROs against my D-HEROs!" Edo: "Dreadmaster attacks! Predator of Dreadnought!" Juu: "I activate my trap Negate Attack!" Juu: "This card negates one of your monster's attacks, and ends battle." Edo: "Impudent fool!" Ken: "That was close, don." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I'm gonna use your Field Spell, too!" Juu: "Mausoleum of the Emperor!" Juu: "Come to me. The power that protects Neo Space, Elemental HERO Neos!" Edo: "Elemental HERO Neos?" Edo: "Impossible... I'm a HERO-user, and even I've never seen that Elemental HERO before!" Juu: "Of course you haven't! Elemental HERO Neos can use the breath of the cosmos" Edo: "What?" Juu: "Now I'll show you the power of Neos! Aqua Dolphin," Juu: "Aqua Neos!" Asu: "This is Judai's new deck?" Sho: "A Neos deck?" Juu: "I activate Aqua Neos's effect! By discarding one card," Juu: "I discard Bladedge in my hand. Echo Burst!" Juu: "Then I activate my spell card H — Heated Heart. It increases Aqua Neos's attack points by 500!" Juu: "Aqua Neos attacks! Rapid Storm!" Juu: "Yeah!" Asu: "All right!" Ken: "Bro beat his ace monster, don!" Sho: "Aqua Neos is cool!" Edo: "Dreadmaster was defeated?" Edo: "I won't acknowledge that any HEROs are greater than the D-HEROs!" Juu: "Okay, let's keep going and..." Sho: "Aqua Neos..." Ken: "...returned to Bro's deck, don." Juu: "H-Hey, Aqua Neos..." Mis: "Doesn't Judai know how his new deck works?" Sho: "But now Bro's field is wide open!" Edo: "My turn. Draw! Judai... If you think you can overcome your destiny to lose," Edo: "But the result will be the same!" Edo: "Diamond Dude! Captain Tenacious! Doom Lord! Attack Judai directly!" Both: "Bro!" Edo: "My victory is practically assured." Juu: "No, I'm not done yet... I haven't even started to show you" Sho: "Bro! You've only just returned, and you're already in trouble!" Juu: "What a blunder." Sho: "Bro, you're taking this too lightly." Juu: "I'll be fine this time! Let's go, Edo!" Sho: "The appearance of another new HERO!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Versus Edo (Part 2). Flare Neos of Fire."

Edo: "Diamond Dude! Captain Tenacious! Doom Lord! Attack Judai directly!" Juu: "I haven't even started to show you what my new deck can really do." p: "If Judai loses now," Juu: "But those three direct attacks in a row really hurt... And..." Juu: "Aqua Neos can only stick around for one turn?" Juu: "I didn't know that." Edo: "My victory is practically assured." Edo: "Judai... You could never understand the true burden of destiny" Juu: "Let's go! My turn!" Juu: "I drew Bubbleman! When Bubbleman is the only card in my hand," Juu: "And if there are no other cards on my side of the field," Juu: "I also activate Pot of Greed!" Edo: "He immediately restored his hand..." Juu: "Okay! I activate Bubble Blaster! This increases his attack points! And I summon my new HERO," Sho: "Bro summoned a new Neo-Spacian!" Juu: "You're so cool, Air Hummingbird!" Air: "Now, Judai..." Juu: "I activate Air Hummingbird's effect, Honeysuckle." Edo: "What?" Juu: "For every card in your hand, Air Hummingbird gives me" Juu: "You have three cards, so I recover 1500 life points." Edo: "A life-restoration effect?" Juu: "Go, Bubbleman! Bubble Blaster!" Juu: "And I still have an attack remaining! Air Hummingbird! Hovering Peck!" Juu: "I set one card and end my turn." Asu: "I can't believe it." Mis: "Neo-Spacians... HEROs with powers we don't yet know." Sho: "Yeah!" Ken: "Keep up the push, don!" Edo: "No matter what kinds of HEROs you've found," Edo: "I activate my Field Spell Dark City! When D-HEROs attack a monster with greater attack points than theirs," Juu: "It's the D-HERO version of Skyscraper." Edo: "And I tribute Diamond Dude to summon Double Dude!" Edo: "Go, Double Dude! Attack Bubbleman! Dark City's effect increases Double Dude's attack points by 1000!" Edo: "Death Overlap!" Juu: "Bubble Blaster's effect activates! When the monster it's equipped to is destroyed by battle," Edo: "Double Dude's effect activates. Double Dude can attack twice in a single Battle Phase." Edo: "Death Overlap!" Juu: "Air Hummingbird..." Edo: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "My turn. Draw!" Juu: "I activate Graceful Charity!" Juu: "I activate my trap Disgraceful Charity. This turn, any cards discarded by either player, due to a spell effect," Juu: "And I activate my Continuous Spell Common Soul. I use Common Soul's effect to summon" Edo: "Another new HERO?" Juu: "See, Edo? This is my other new ally, Flare Scarab. See? And I bet there are even more new HEROs out there!" Edo: "Judai... Are you that desperate to flaunt your new HEROs? But I do not acknowledge HEROs who do not bear the weight of destiny!" Juu: "It's true that what happened to your dad is really sad." Juu: "But..." Juu: "Meeting new heroes is really exciting, isn't it? I bet you've felt the same way, Edo." Edo: "Meeting new heroes?" Juu: "I bet your dad felt that way, too. He didn't want you to suffer when you looked at the D-HEROs. He created them because he wanted to make you happy." Edo: "Yes." Edo: "Father drew so many heroes, trying to make me happy." Edo: "To make me happy..." Edo: "But every time I look at the D-HEROs, I feel pain in my heart." Edo: "Dad..." p: "Edo Phoenix, for what reason do you hesitate? You must not allow the words of Judai to deceive you!" Juu: "Hey! "Deceive" is a really nasty way to put it, Head Teacher!" p: "You must use the D-HEROs, who bear the weight of your destiny," Edo: "Bear the weight of my destiny?" Edo: "I... I am making the D-HEROs carry the weight of my destiny?" Edo: "Am I the one making the D-HEROs destiny's prisoners?" Juu: "Let's go, Edo!" Juu: "Flare Scarab's effect activates. Flaming Illusion! For every spell and trap on your side of the field," Juu: "And when Common Soul is in play," Juu: "Go, Bubbleman! Attack Double Dude!" Edo: "I'm being pushed back? I activate my trap Destiny Signal! When one of my monsters is sent to the graveyard by battle," Edo: "Come, Defender!" Juu: "Cool... 2700 defense points?" Edo: "But to balance its high defense points," Edo: "My turn! Draw!" Edo: "Double Dude's effect activates. When Double Dude is destroyed," Edo: "I also activate my spell card Mystical Space Typhoon!" Edo: "Without that card, your HEROs are useless." Juu: "Oh, no! Flare Scarab..." Edo: "Now, Bubbleman's attack points decrease." Edo: "Go, Double Dude Token!" Edo: "And again! Attack Judai directly!" Edo: "I end my turn." Sho: "Bro..." Ken: "He really is strong, don!" p: "I do like the way this is going." Cro: "Signor Judai, do your best!" Juu: "My turn. Draw! Defender's effect lets me draw one more card." Juu: "I activate my spell card The Shallow Grave! We both choose one monster from our graveyards," Juu: "I summon Hero Kid!" Juu: "Hero Kid's effect activates! When this card is Special Summoned," Edo: "Fool. Have you forgotten about the powerful D-HEROs" Edo: "Come on, Dreadmaster! When Dreadmaster is summoned," Edo: "I summon" Edo: "Diamond Dude!" Edo: "Captain Tenacious! And Dreadmaster's defense points" Juu: "I summon Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab once more!" Juu: "Dark City's presence increases its attack points!" Juu: "Flare Scarab, attack Captain Tenacious!" Juu: "Flame Bullet!" Juu: "I set two cards and end my turn." Edo: "My turn." Edo: "Spell card Pot of Greed!" Edo: "I draw two cards. And I tribute Dreadmaster, Diamond Dude, and Defender..." Edo: "Come out, Destiny HERO — Dogma!" Juu: "3400 attack points?" Mis: "Not good." Sho: "If he takes that hit..." Ken: "...it's over, don!" Asu: "Judai!" Edo: "Dogma, attack Flare Scarab!" Edo: "Death Chronicle!" Juu: "I activate my trap Kid Guard! By tributing a Hero Kid, this card lets me negate one of your attacks," e: "Your sacrifice will not be in vain. Judai... It is time to call upon the power of Neos!" Juu: "Using the effect of Kid Guard," Edo: "I set one card and end my turn." Juu: "That card increases Flare Scarab's attack points." Juu: "My turn! Draw!" Edo: "Dogma's effect activates!" Edo: "During your Standby Phase, Dogma removes half your life points." Sho: "Bro has 150 life points!" Ken: "Edo has 200." Mis: "It will be decided by which can land a hit first." p: "Truly impressive." Cro: "Which one will win?" Juu: "Edo, I'm having so much fun right now." Edo: "You're still relaxed enough to talk, I see." Juu: "Getting to see all these HEROs fighting bravely... And I still have a new HERO in my deck I haven't seen yet." Edo: "A new HERO?" Juu: "Let's go... I activate my Field Spell Neo Space!" Edo: "Neo Space?" Juu: "In Neo Space, Elemental HERO Neos" Juu: "Appear, Elemental HERO Neos!" Juu: "Neo Space's effect increases its attack points." Edo: "But Dogma's attack points are still higher!" Juu: "No, this is when I show you Neos's true potential." Juu: "Elemental HERO Neos and Flare Scarab, Contact Fusion!" Edo: "Contact Fusion?" Juu: "Fusions between Neos and Neo-Spacians don't require a Polymerization card!" Edo: "This light..." Edo: "That's right. Once, long ago, the appearance of a new hero got my heart racing, too." Edo: "Then, this is your new HERO, Judai!" Juu: "Yeah. This is Neos's new power, Flare Neos." Juu: "Flare Neos's attack points increase by 400 for every spell or trap on the field." Juu: "There are a total of three spells and traps on the field. So Neo Space's effect brings Flare Neos's attack points to..." Edo: "4200 attack points?" Juu: "Go, Flare Neos!" Juu: "Burn to Ash!" Edo: "I activate my trap D — Shield!" Juu: "What?" Edo: "When a D-HERO is attacked," Juu: "That really is cool, Edo." Edo: "I think I'll accept that compliment. My turn!" Edo: "I see. And because of Neo Space's power, Flare Neos doesn't disappear." Juu: "That's right." Edo: "Judai, Neos truly is an incredible HERO. But I cannot afford to lose this duel. I switch Dogma to attack position!" Edo: "And I equip it with Heavy Storm Blade!" Juu: "The appearance of another spell card on the field" Edo: "Let's go, Judai! This is the last attack, which will settle things between us! Go, Dogma!" Juu: "What?" Sho: "Why?" Mis: "Attacking, when its attack points are lower?" Ken: "He's throwing himself on his blade, saurus." Edo: "No, Judai... This is the ultimate sword that will defeat you. Heavy Storm Blade's effect activates! When a monster equipped with Heavy Storm Blade attacks, it destroys all other spells and traps on the field." p: "All three cards..." Cro: "...have been destroyed!" Edo: "Thus, Flare Neos's attack points decrease to 2900. Disappear, Judai!" Edo: "Impossible..." Juu: "Sorry, Edo. Flare Neos has 3700 attack points." Juu: "My set card was this one, Spell Calling. When this card is destroyed by a spell or a trap, I can set two new spell cards, from my deck, on the field." Edo: "This is..." Edo: "The power to overcome Saio's predictions. Neos..." Juu: "Gotcha! That was a great duel." Sho: "All right! He won!" Ken: "Bro won, saurus!" Mis: "It was a splendid duel, Judai and Edo." Asu: "It looks like Slifer Red is safe, at least." Sho: "Bro!" Ken: "Bro!" Edo: "Judai, I may have lost here today." Edo: "But it wasn't that the D-HEROs lost. It's just that my play was insufficient." Juu: "Of course. No one thinks the D-HEROs are weak." Juu: "There's a hero inside everyone's heart. The hero they think is the strongest." Juu: "Let's not count that first compromised duel. This makes our record 1-1." Edo: "Yes, but we'll finish this someday." p: "I almost feel glad that Edo lost and my lie was not exposed. But not entirely glad." Cro: "Why do we not use this occasion to put the closure of Slifer Red behind us?" Edo: "Hey." Cro: "Edo!" Edo: "I forgot to mention something. I've decided to make this school my primary residence. Though I have a busy pro league schedule, so I won't be here often." p: "Mon dieu..." Cro: "Ratatouille." Voice: "The number you have dialed is currently not in service." Edo: "Saio, have you chosen to remove yourself from my sight? But there is something I must ask you..." Edo: "This "Society of Light" that man spoke of..." Edo: "What are you planning, Saio?" Edo: "Still, if I stay at this school, I'll run into you eventually." Edo: "Along with the duelist who overcame your predictions." Sho: "Bro! I'm so glad! Thank you so much for coming back!" Juu: "Of course I came back. Where else do I have to go?" Sho: "So happy! This time, Instructor Cronos" Juu: "I'm so glad I came back! I wouldn't want to miss a duel this fun!" Sho: "How can you be so relaxed? Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Cronos Versus Napoleon! March of the Toy Soldiers."

Ken: "He's good! That pro didn't stand a chance, don!" Juu: "When I watched your duel just now, I was wondering, do you not have your Ojama cards in your deck anymore?" Man: "Ojama? What are you talking about?" Juu: "You guys want to take part in the duel tomorrow?" Juu: "I think you could help bring Manjome back to his senses." Bla: "Maybe, but we'll just get beaten like we always do." Man: "The ultimate card of the deck given to me by Lord Saio!" Juu: "Wake up, Manjome!" Juu: "This is Manjome's best card." Ken: "Bro..." Sho: "Bro..." Man: "This is the card Lord Saio gave me in exchange" Man: "The shine of immaculate white" Yel: "Bro Manjome!" Juu: "Shine of immaculate white... Yeah, right. You were the guy who was okay" Man: "What?" Juu: "I know you... You always wiped away spilled soy sauce with your sleeve!" Juu: "Even when I brought it here, I could tell it smelled sour!" Man: "Judai, you... Don't you know that when a bear prepares to hibernate," Ken: "Of course. He was preparing to hibernate?" Man: "White Knight Lord's original attack points are 2000." Man: "Your army of petty monsters will do you no good." Yel: "2300 attack points?" Yel: "M-Mr. Judai..." Gre: "Yeah... My mother is terribly ill." Bla: "Same here. My father's having surgery." Juu: "Y-You guys..." Man: "I have no time to listen to the mumblings of trash!" Juu: "You can see the Ojamas, Manjome?" All: "White Thunder!" Man: "What if I can? I'm sick of watching you stupidly pour effort into those things. My turn! White Knight Lord attacks!" Yel: "Big Bro!" Gre: "Little Bro!" Bla: "Stop whining, you two. Only one of the three of us needs to get beat. And at times like this..." Both: "Forgive us, little brother!" Man: "I attack Ojama Black." Bla: "M-Me?!" Both: "Brother!" Man: "And in this moment, White Knight Lord's effect activates. For every monster destroyed by battle," Both: "Mr. Judai!" Man: "Your life points are down to 100." Juu: "No, I won't give up until you're back in your right mind!" Gre: "Well..." Yel: "Maybe we could give up." Juu: "What will I do if you give up? Remember all the fun you had with Manjome... The time you spent with him!" Yel: "Our memories of fun..." Gre: "...with Bro Manjome." Yel: "Okay! Let's do it!" Gre: "We'll get those memories back!" Juu: "That's the way. My turn. Draw! I activate Pot of Greed! I draw two cards." Juu: "Okay..." Juu: "I activate my spell card Polymerization!" Juu: "Go, Ojama Yellow! Ojama Green!" Yel: "Let's go, Bro." Gre: "Okay!" Yel: "Ojama..." Both: "...Cross!" Both: "Ojama Knight!" Man: "Ojama Knight?" Juu: "Ojama Knight's effect activates!" Knight: "Let's go. Sure-kill..." Man: "What in the world are these?" Gre: "As long as we're here, dear..." Yel: "We should stay the night, dear." Juu: "When Ojama Knight is on the field," Man: "You stupid little things!" Gre: "You heard him, dear." Yel: "No, no. We must still stay the night, dear." Juu: "And I activate my Equip Spell Shield Attack!" Juu: "It swaps the attack and defense points of the monster it's equipped to. In other words, Ojama Knight's attack points become 2500!" Man: "What?" Juu: "Now, Ojama Knight's attack points" Kni: "For Big Brother Black!" Juu: "What?" Man: "Too bad for you, but White Knight Lord has numerous hidden abilities. The damage that White Knight Lord takes in battle is reduced to 0. In other words, it's a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle." Juu: "No way! Sorry, I have to do this, guys." Kni: "What? Why did you apologize in advance?" Juu: "I activate my Quick-Play Spell Mystik Wok!" Gre: "Oh, I'm awfully dizzy, dear." Yel: "Yes, so am I... Even so, we must stay the night!" Juu: "I tribute one monster on my side of the field" Man: "Good choice. Those small monsters did nothing but get in your way." Juu: "Or so I wanted you to think." Juu: "When the three Ojama brothers are in my graveyard," Juu: "Be reborn, three Ojama brothers!" Trio: "We're back again!" Yel: "Ojama Yellow!" Gre: "Ojama Green!" Bla: "Ojama Black!" All: "Yeah!" Ken: "Great one, don!" Man: "A mere stopgap measure. My turn. Draw!" Man: "I activate my Equip Spell Infernal Gauntlet! The monster this is equipped to" Juu: "What?" Man: "I activate my spell card Stray Lambs! For every monster destroyed by White Knight Lord," Man: "And I tribute one more Lamb Token to attack once again." Sho: "Bro!" Edo: "As expected, those minor monsters are having a hard time against Saio's card." Ken: "Damn..." Ken: "What the don is Bro thinking?!" Juu: "That's the Manjome I know..." Man: "I'm not finished yet! White Knight Lord still has its normal attack remaining!" Yel: "Bro! Bro Manjome!" Man: "I don't recall giving a disgusting monster like you permission to call me "Bro"!" Man: "Go, White Knight Lord!" Juu: "I activate the effect of my Continuous Trap Over Limit! I pay 500 life points to Special Summon Ojama Yellow. Come back, Ojama Yellow!" Yel: "'Kay." Man: "Judai, why are you so obsessed with that trash?" Juu: "This is the only way I could think of to snap you out of it!" Juu: "You okay, Ojama Yellow?" Yel: "I'm fine. No matter how many times I fall, I'll be fine." Yel: "The thing that really hurts is that Bro Manjome doesn't remember us..." Yel: "Bro Manjome, have you really forgotten us?" Juu: "Manjome..." Man: "What's this sensation? This feeling of sympathy for his pathetic state..." Man: "No, it's more like wanting to smack him down and bathe in a sense of superiority." Juu: "Remember, Manjome... Remember!" Juu: "These guys are your partners!" Man: "Partners?" Man: "Partners?" Juu: "That's right." Yel: "Bro Manjome, please remember... Wanting peace and equality isn't like you!" Juu: "Manjome, that uniform isn't yours. Your uniform is..." Yel: "He's right!" Yel: "You belong in the scheming black one!" Man: "Wh-What?" Man: "Wh-What's this?" Man: "That's right, this light..." Man: "I am no longer one of the shining white people!" Man: "I am tarnished and stained. But I understand" Man: "the persistence of stains!" Man: "How stubborn they are! While everyone around me strives for perfect cleanliness," Man: "the stain that leaves them slightly dingy. That's right! That is what they taught me!" Yel: "Yeah!" Green: "The strength of bonds among comrades!" Black: "The importance of friendship!" Yel: "And..." Man: "The layer below the bottom of the barrel!" Man: "Why am I wearing these clothes? What's with this thing?" Man: "Why am I fighting with this deck?" Man: "Judai, what are my monsters doing on your side of the field?" Yel: "B-Bro Manjome!" Man: "Don't tell me..." Juu: "Did you come back to your senses?" Man: "You stole my deck, didn't you?" Juu: "Of course not! Don't you remember anything? How hard we worked to save you? The really touching speeches I gave to you?" Man: "Nope." Juu: "You've been under Saio's control this whole time! You got that monster from Saio in exchange for swearing loyalty" Man: "The Society of Light? I got it from Saio?" Man: "Now that you mention it..." Man: "Ever since then, my memories..." Man: "I can't take this gaudy getup another minute! How can I wear something that doesn't hide soy sauce stains" Man: "I am a duelist who embraces darkness," Man: "Let's go, everyone!" Man: "One!" Sho: "Ten!" Yel: "Hundred!" Juu: "Thousand!" Man: "Manjome Thunder!" Juu: "Yeah! Manjome Thunder is back!" Edo: "I understand. The Society of Light..." Man: "I don't know the circumstances that led to this, Judai," Juu: "Okay! That's the way!" Man: "But first, there's something I have to do." Man: "Cemetery Change... This card lets me pay 1000 life points" Man: "Then you and I swap graveyards." Juu: "Swap graveyards?" Man: "That's right, Judai. Before we fight, I'm taking back the deck you stole from me." Juu: "I told you, I didn't steal it!" Man: "Much better... I activate my spell card Infernal Transaction. Its effect lets me Special Summon" Man: "I add Ojamandala to my hand, and bring to your side of the field..." Juu: "Hey, this is the strongest card of your deck!" Man: "You're acting like I care. But you aren't complaining, are you? I activate my spell card from my hand. Ojamandala!" Yel: "Ojama Yellow!" Gre: "Ojama Green!" Bla: "Ojama Black!" Trio: "Bro Manjome!" Yel: "You didn't abandon us, after all!" Man: "Of course not." Gre: "We believed in you, Bro." Black: "That Judai guy threatened us..." Man: "I know the whole story." Juu: "No, you don't!" Man: "Let's go! We'll work together" Juu: "A-Am I the only one here feeling seriously betrayed?" Ken: "Well, I don't know all the circumstances," Juu: "Then I'll just have to fight like this. My turn. White Knight Lord, attack Ojama Yellow!" Juu: "White Knight Lord's effect activates!" Black: "Bro!" Green: "How dare you hurt my big and little brothers?" Juu: "Hang on... If I show any mercy, I'm the one who'll get beaten!" Man: "Don't worry. I'll protect you." Both: "Bro!" Man: "My turn." Man: "I activate my Continuous Spell Goblin Negotiator. Once per turn, I reduce battle damage to a monster to 0. But each time I use that effect," Man: "I end my turn." Juu: "Then I'll have to get serious. My turn! Draw!" Juu: "I summon Neo-Spacian Glow Moss! When Glow Moss attacks," Juu: "You can also add that card to your hand." Man: "I drew the spell card Silent Doom." Juu: "Yeah! That means I can attack directly! Go, Glow Moss! Spore Spear!" Juu: "White Knight Lord, attack Ojama Green!" Man: "The effect of Continuous Spell Goblin Negotiator" Juu: "But it also lets me draw a card." Man: "My turn. Draw! I activate my spell card Silent Doom from my hand!" Man: "I Special Summon one monster from my graveyard. Come out, Ojama Yellow!" Yel: "Thanks, Bro!" Trio: "But we can't beat that monster..." Man: "Don't act so pitiful. You're the aces of my deck. You won't lose to some card of Saio's!" Black: "Us?" Green: "Aces?" Yel: "Hearing Bro Manjome say that to us..." Black: "It's a little unsettling, isn't it?" Green: "He must be remembering some subconscious guilt." Man: "What are you jabbering about? Then, let's show them..." All: "Yeah!" Man: "The strength of your bonds against a fool" Juu: "Hey, that's going too far." Man: "I activate Buried Destiny from my hand. When a spell card you used is not in your graveyard," Man: "I add Ojama Delta Hurricane!! to my hand." Man: "Go, my trash!" Yel: "Sure-kill..." Gre: "Ojama..." Bla: "Delta..." Trio: "Hurricane!!" Gre: "We did it, Bro." Yel: "We beat Saio's monster with our power!" Gre: "No way." Yel: "Bro Manjome lost?" Bla: "H-How come?" Man: "White Knight Lord's final effect. When it's destroyed by an opponent's card effect, it deals 1000 points of damage to that opponent..." Juu: "Manjome, you knew it would do that?" Edo: "Judai, you beat back Saio's power once more?" Ken: "But why did Manjome..." Edo: "He chose to destroy the monster rather than win the duel. Sometimes, there's a monster you must destroy at all costs." Edo: "I think I understand how he feels." Ken: "Hey, Bro, what about Manjome's medals?" Juu: "I can't take medals from a guy who didn't know what was going on." Juu: "This duel doesn't count. Right?" Ken: "I guess not, don..." Edo: "You're as soft as ever." Juu: "Don't be so stiff." Edo: "Do as you wish, then." Man: "That uniform..." Man: "Tenjoin is in the Society of Light, too?" Man: "Of course." Bla: "Huh? I'm pretty sure it's that you got obsessed with beating Judai, and..." Gre: "Shh! If we don't tell him, nobody has to know." Yel: "That's our Manjome Thunder." Yel: "He's already filling in the gaps in his memories with delusions." Man: "Tenjoin... Someday... I, Manjome Thunder," Sho: "Brother... Brother really is at Genex, too." Sho: "Cyberdark Horn?" Juu: "Standing against him is our own Fubuki Tenjoin!" Juu: "No, Fubuki! Don't use that power again!" Sho: "This... It's not like you, Brother!" Sho: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Hell Kaiser Versus Darkness Fubuki."

: "Long ago, in a faraway place, there lived a giant with a hundred eyes. Since the giant could only rest its eyes in turn, it had never slept a wink in its entire life. Because the giant would spend the whole day watching, able to see everything and everywhere, and learning all, the people gave it the responsibility of looking after the world." : "The giant was glad to be of service." : "Under the watchful eye of the giant, the people enjoyed quiet, peaceful lives." Girl: "Here." : "One day, the giant witnessed someone doing something treacherous, and informed the people about it. However, after incurring the wrath of not just the traitor but everyone, the giant was killed. The people had come to fear this giant who never slept. Existing beyond time, and out of reach, this giant that was able to see everything that happened, no matter where or when, had become an object of fear. But in time, people took pity on the giant, and turned its hundred eyes into the pattern on the feathers of the beautiful peacock. And so, the giant that had never known rest became the feathers of the peacock, and was able to sleep at long last." Hack: "Got it." Hack: "I. Love. Ai." Professor: "There you have it." Eptitle Sign: "The Adventures in Tom Sawyer The Adventures in Tom Sawyer The Adventures in Tom Sawyer" Professor: "Yes, thanks to the Customer Center, we are living in... the purest expression of liberalism ever to have existed." Berry: "I-I wasn't asleep." Professor: "And so, with Love approximated as a score, it serves as a currency required for public services. And what's the platform for this system, everyone?" Students: "Decos!" Professor: "Correct. The Decoration Customizer, or Deco for short." Logi: "Okay?" Berry: "How's that?" Logi: "Perfecto!" Harper: "Good job. Ya gotta teach us how to make these Deco barriers." Berry: "Hm? It's not that easy, y'know. So what did you want?" Logi: "There's been a sighting. On 4th street in District 17." Berry: "Of who?" Harper: "Of Zero!" Berry: "Phantom Zero?! That's Love-y!" Logi: "That's over by your place, isn't it?" Berry: "When was this? We gotta go check it out!" Harper: "At around 18 on the Timeline. If we can scrounge up some trace data, it'd earn 100,000 Love, easy." Berry: "Maybe we can find something in the Hyperverse's backup files?" Logi: "Don't be stupid. This Zero's a phantom for a reason." Harper: "Plus, we're talking ground zero for the Zero Phenomenon. There's not gonna be any data, and all the Love will have reset to zero." Berry: "Yeah..." Logi: "The terrifying Zero Phenom!" Berry: "But that's what makes it so Love-y. The idea of something that's "not in the records" is so out there." Harper: "You're really into this Zero stuff, huh?" Berry: "It's Love-y!" Harper: "But you've never seen Zero before, right?" Logi: "Well, nobody in this town has seen Zero. You'd have to be a ghost to even catch a glimpse, never mind haul that phantom in." Berry: "Seriously. And that's what makes it Love-y." Professor: "You three! No muting without permission during class!" Berry: "The barrier's gone? But why?" Professor: "You at it again, Berry?" Berry: "Well, y'know..." Berry: "Aw, crap. My Deco's acting up." Berry: "Ah, excuse me, I think I'm freezing up. I'll play the lesson back later. See ya!" Professor: "Hey! Get back here, Berry!" Berry: "I panicked..." Berry: "My Deco just doesn't wanna work right." Berry: "He's right about Love being essential for life, though. I wish I had more. Get enough Love and you can go to class looking way more Love-y, since you get to choose Love-lier avatars." Berry: "Life would be way more exciting with lots of Love. That's why you always gotta keep an eye out for Love opportunities." Berry: "Let's check out my score for today." Mom: "Berry." Berry: "Mom! Would it kill you to knock?" Mom: "You logged out partway through class again, didn't you?" Berry: "It'll be fine. I'll run through the whole class from the beginning later." Mom: "I've heard that one before." Berry: "But there was a sighting in District 17!" Mom: "Who was sighted?" Berry: "Phantom Zero! Who else?" Mom: "That's always your excuse for slacking. Don't come crying to me when you're missing credits." Berry: "I can go to school anytime. But, but, but! When it comes to Zero, the data gets overwritten right away." Mom: "I seriously don't understand you. Well, you may as well go get your Deco checkup done." Mom: "It's been acting up, hasn't it?" Berry: "My right eye freezes up every now and then..." Mom: "I made an appointment with the ophthalmologist." Berry: "It's fine for now." Mom: "Stop being lazy and get a move on!" Berry: "Fine!" Mom: "Come on, look sharp." Mom: "And be careful out there." Dad: "Approved. Approved. Rejected. Approved." Dad: "What's up?" Mom: "She's skipping out on class and going on about that phantom of hers again." Dad: "Zero, huh? If it's not causing trouble, what's the harm? Think of it as people finding ways to stay entertained in a city with no crime." Berry: "Man, it really isn't working well." Berry: "It's so darn flickery..." Berry: "Well, nothing I can do about it!" Isda: "Hey, Berry!" Berry: "Hey, Isda!" Berry: "You got a new avatar!" Isda: "Well, yeah. What d'ya think?" Berry: "It's pretty Love-y! Let's post it. Here we go." Berry: "And up it goes." Berry: "That didn't take long! Look at that Love." Isda: "Nice! I hardly ever see you out and about. What's up?" Berry: "Oh, well, you know... Off to see the eye doc." Isda: "Oof, good luck with that." Berry: "Yeah." Berry: "This is such a pain. Right! It's been a while since I went out last, so I may as well change my Deco for the town." Berry: "Not enough Love. Gotta be more careful with how I use it. I'll have to get more." Berry: "But... that's where Phantom Zero Nation comes in!" Berry: "It's the most popular game in town, and if I can catch Phantom Zero in it..." Berry: "People are gonna shower me with Love! "Zero is a lie." "And everything that isn't zero is reality."" Berry: "That's the way adults talk about it." Berry: "But what Phantom Zero is can't be put into words... Hence, zero." Berry: "Whenever Zero shows up, the Love we're all so excited about gets blown away. There can be no love in the face of zero. It's totally unreal..." Berry: "Like a phantom, in other words!"

What a goofy doofus." Hack: "Got it." Middle Aged Guy: "Where the heck am I?!" Middle Aged Guy: "Huh? Dad?" Middle Aged Guy: "What... are you doing here?" Old Man: "Come now, boy. Remember what I told you? If you want to make me proud, yadda yadda yadda. But instead, you..." Middle Aged Guy: "But Dad... You're dead... aren't you?" Old Man: "Goofy doofus, instead of handling my affairs, you've laid claim to my Love. The Love that I earned." Middle Aged Guy: "Uh, well... I was... I was gonna do it... I've just been busy." Old Man: "No, that Love belongs to me, and you're going to hand it over." Middle Aged Guy: "I'm sorry, Dad." Middle Aged Guy: "My Love!" Hack: "Hey, goofy doofus." Hack: "Spend the rest of that Love on the funeral, y'hear?" Middle Aged Guy: "Who's there?!" Middle Aged Guy: "You tricked me! Where are you?! Get out here!" Hack: "I. Love. Ai." Middle Aged Guy: "Wait... Was that Phantom Zero?!" Berry: "Phantom Zero?" Berry: "I gotta tell the others!" Berry: "Found the mark!" Harper: "Don't tell me..." Logi: "Phantom Zero?!" Berry: "Bingo! I was over on 4th Street, and I saw this weirdo who was half invisible." Harper: "That's awesome! What was this weirdo like?! Let us see your Deco data!" Berry: "Well, here's the thing... It was super hard to see 'em. I could only see 'em out of the eye with the busted Deco... There's no data left, either." Harper: "If there's no data, we've got nothing to work with." Logi: ""Zero is a lie." "And everything that isn't zero is reality."" Berry: "Fine! If you don't believe me, I'll catch that weirdo myself!" Hack: "Where's that missing thingy?" Berry: "There!" Berry: "Huh? Where'd that weirdo go?" Hack: "Where oh where are you?" Berry: "I. Love. Ai." Hack: "What are you? Some kinda nerdy-birdy? Just staaaring like that." Berry: "Are you Phantom Zero?" Hack: "Time to bail!" Berry: "Wait up!" Hack: "Try and catch me, nerdy-birdy!" Berry: "You bet I will! I'm gonna catch you!" Hack: "You'll be swoony-loony when I'm done with ya!" Berry: "Hold it!" Berry: "Get back here!" Hack: "Around we go!" Berry: "I've got you now!" Berry: "And I'm bringing you in." Berry: "What... the heck?" Mom: "Welcome home. How'd it go?" Berry: "No good news at all." Dad: "What? You didn't get an infection from your Deco, did you?" Mom: "You said it was just freezing every now and then." Berry: "Oh, that." Dad: "We'll get you in to see the data ophthalmologist at Central Hospital." Berry: "No, no, I didn't mean that." Mom: "Then, what did you mean?" Berry: "Um... well... you see... Oh, right! I didn't manage to get in. I wonder if they got my time mixed up..." Dad: "Don't scare us like that." Mom: "That's odd. I know I made the appointment." Berry: "Ah, it's fine. I can always go tomorrow." Dad: "Hold it." Dad: "Having a Deco on the fritz has got to be a pain." Berry: "It's okay." Mom: "Well, until it's fixed... Here." Berry: "Thanks." Berry: "Who was that weirdo?" Hack: "I'm home." Hack: "Talk about a draggy-waggy." Hack: "Don't sweat it, Pup. I just had some nerdy-birdy staring holes into me." Hack: "Oh, yeah. Nerdy-birdy thought she was onto something, but she was swoony-loony after that chase!" Hack: "Left her busted and dusted!" Berry: "You're talking about me, aren't you?" Berry: "I didn't understand most of that, but I could tell you were making fun of me." Berry: "Still gonna make jokes after I show you this?" Hack: "My missing thingy!" Hack: "Give it!" Berry: "Tough luck. This is just my avatar. Welcome to a little Hyperverse space I created." Hack: "Rage, rage, ragey-rage!" Berry: "I was able to track down your little hideout by tracing the data your origami was broadcasting." Hack: "I'm gonna chew up your nerdy-birdy butt!" Berry: "Pretty cool, right?" Berry: "So are you really Phantom Zero?" Berry: "My name's Berry." Hack: "Snappy-yappy!" Berry: "Look, I don't know what you're up to, but if you really are—" Hack: "Quit yappin' already, nerdy-birdy!" Berry: "No! Wait—" Berry: "Aw, I was so close! This sucks!" Berry: "Being able to force a Hyperverse space to shut down like that... Maybe that weirdo really is..." Berry: "No way!" Berry: "How'd you find me?" Hack: "I was able to trace back your data the exact same way. Don't think this makes us even, though, nerdy-birdy." Berry: "I don't even get what you mean." Hack: "What are you, a nincompoop?" Berry: "Huh? What kind of poop?" Hack: "I already bailed on that spot from earlier. Ya ain't gonna get to stare it up a second time. How d'ya like that?" Berry: "Look, if you are Phantom Zero..." Hack: "What if I am?" Berry: "That's Love-y!" Berry: "Why does everyone say "Zero is a lie, and everything that isn't zero is reality"?" Hack: "Gimme my missing thingy! Oops! Falling, falling, falling!" Hack: "Give it!" Berry: "Oh, come on. You don't think I'm that stupid, do you?" Hack: "Just give it back!" Berry: "Not happening! Not unless you tell me about Zero..." Berry: "No way. Is this the Zero Phenomenon?" Hack: "Zero... Phantom Zero... ...is glitchy-witchy." Berry: "Wow, amazing! What is this?! Are we in the Hyperverse now?" Berry: "Did you do this?" Hack: "No. It's glitchy-witchy." Hack: "Ixnay!" Hack: "We gotta bail, nerdy-birdy!" Berry: "What's going on?!" Hack: "Touching that stuff's a big ixnay!" Berry: ""Ixnay"?" Berry: "I don't get what's going on, but it's Love-y!" Hack: "Kilo! Mega! Giga!" Berry: "Wow!" Berry: "Shoot!" Berry: "What now?" Hack: "Peta! Exa!" Hack: "Nerdy-birdy!" Hack: "Zet-ta!" Berry: "Nice one!" Hack: "Got my missing thingy back!" Berry: "Hold it!" Hack: "Time to hotfoot it outta here!" Berry: "Wait up!" Berry: "I've got you now. So what now?" Hack: "Creepy-creeping..."

Berry: "The heavens?" : "Mark Twain." : "It's said to be the home of Phantom Zero. An island where the phantom is said to dwell. After that, I combined the data you stole from Phantom Zero with what was contained in the capsule. As a result, I learned that Mark Twain has data on the times Phantom Zero has appeared. All we have to do now is find it." Berry: "You got all that from the capsule, too?" : "Yes." Hank: "Nice plan...

Berry: "The Angel Fish Club card?" Berry: "It opened!" Hack: "We're in!" : "Come on." Berry: "Analytica built this place, right?" : "Yes. From the moment Tom Sawyer Island was created to this very moment now, all of the city's data has been continually backed up here." Berry: "No one could've guessed the backup would be up in the sky..." : "The AI known as Analytica studied humans, but once this place was complete, his attention shifted elsewhere and he descended to the ground." : "Meaning the only person up here is the one we seek." Berry: "Phantom Zero!" Hack: "Glitchy-witchy! We've got you this time!" Berry: "But where around here would Zero be?" : "We should find some clues up ahead." Berry: "Really?" Berry: "From here, we should be able to access the Hyperverse space with the backup data. And I'm certain the key to discovering Phantom Zero's identity will be in there. Okay, got it. Leave the rest to us." : "Right. I'll provide support from out here." : "This Hyperverse instance has admin rights that will let me manipulate the data. Even if it means scouring the whole place, we'll catch Phantom Zero and prove the Yurei Detective Club's innocence." Hack: "Understood, Finn!" : "I'm counting on you." Hack: "Let's hit it, nerdy-birdy!" Berry: "Yeah!" Berry: "This is the backup data for Tom Sawyer?" Hack: "We're gonna find you. Just you wait, glitchy-witchy!" Berry: "I'll search over here!" : "So the urban legends were true. Mark Twain exists in Heaven and contains God's powers." : "If the AI engineer, Analytica, was created to build Mark Twain..." : "Then, what purpose does Phantom Zero serve?" : "Phantom Zero... Where are you?" Berry: "Isn't it crazy how all the island's data is backed up here? Anything we want to know, we can find in here. You gonna look up anything, Hack?" Hack: "Glitchy-witchy!" Berry: "Well, yeah, but I mean, like, your family or whatever..." Hack: "Family?" Berry: "You must have one, right? A biological mom and dad?" Hack: "Dunno!" Berry: "You don't?!" Berry: "Then, let's look it up!" : "Berry! Don't forget what you're here for." Berry: "We're looking, okay?" Berry: "Finn's such a spoilsport." Observer A: "Several eyewitness reports in District 3, with more coming in." Director: "Seal off the neighboring districts, and send in all our forces."

Mom: "No, sir. Not at all." Berry: "Mom?!" Berry: "When I got away..." Berry: "It wasn't a miracle." Berry: "That miracle..." Berry: "They made that miracle happen." Berry: "I'm supposed to be dead." Berry: "Mom and Dad don't know I'm a Yurei." Berry: "I had no idea they could do stuff like that. I'd better show the others." Mom: "Wait! Doesn't that look a bit like Berry?" Mom: "That was recorded yesterday. You're imagining it." Mom: "Yeah. Maybe I'm just tired..." Mom: "What's wrong?" Dad: "I think I'm imagining things... I could've sworn she was right there." Dad: "I must be tired, too." Mom: "Maybe..." Mom: "Maybe she was trying to let us know." Mom: "Let us know the truth..." Dad: "Well, if we're not going to sleep, let's tag this footage and start searching." Dad: "We may find something important. Maybe even the truth." Mom: "Good idea. It's not like we'd be sleeping, anyway." Berry: "They... were looking for me this whole time..." Berry: "No way!" Berry: "Dad! Mom!" Berry: "Why?!" Investigator: "Your child is Phantom Zero, isn't she?" Investigator: "Your child is Phantom Zero, isn't she?" Berry: "Stop it..." Berry: "Just stop it!" Hack: "Nerdy-birdy?" Hack: "Who are they?" Berry: "My mom and dad." Hack: "Nerdy-birdy's mom and dad?" Berry: "What do we do? My parents are in big trouble because of me." Hack: "Why not just delete all the trouble?" Berry: "Delete it?" Hack: "With these "admin" whatevers." Berry: "But that'd mean erasing my data permanently..." Hack: "Why not? You're already a Yurei." Berry: "That'd mean there'd be no record of me being their kid..." Hack: "Is that a bad thing?" Berry: "But... But then, I wouldn't be their kid anymore." Berry: "Dad... Mom..."

Observer B: "All available units have been sent to District 3 to apprehend Phantom Zero. It's going to take time for them to reach the facility." Director: "This is bad. What about the surveillance cameras?" Observer A: "All still cats, sir. We're working on a solution, but since we don't know the cause, we don't know where to start." Director: "Dammit.

Hank: "How'd it go for Finn's crew?" Hank: "Yeah?! They really made it to Heaven? Nice!" Smiley: "So how exactly are they gonna make it back? The city's still crawling with Customer Center goons."

Don't wanna sit around here when we could be catchin' glitchy-witchy!" : "It can't be!" Berry: "The Zero Phenomenon?!" Hack: "Glitchy-witchy!" Hack: "What is this stuff?"

Berry: "Hack? Hack? Hack! What do we do?!" : "Hack's been dragged into the Hyperverse." : "We need to move." Hack: "Hey, glitchy-witchy!

Berry: "These are the core world-building systems?" Berry: "And Phantom Zero is in here?" : "No. Injunction Jo is inside." Berry: ""Injunction Jo"?" : "The person with complete authority over Mark Twain... Injunction Jo also created Phantom Zero," : "and is likely the one who dragged Hack into the Hyperverse." Berry: "But why?" : "Couldn't say." : "Damn, discovered already. There's not much time. This Hyperverse space won't allow communication with the outside. From here on out, it's up to you two." Berry: "What will you do, Finn?" : "Don't worry about me." Berry: "But..." : "It'll be fine. I'll make sure there's a place for you and Hack to come home to." : "You two are the only ones who can capture Phantom Zero." : "Right." : "This is it."

Hack: "Nerdy-birdy?" Berry: "That's right!" Berry: "We're in a detective club together and we've solved all kinds of cases." Hack: "A detective club?" Berry: "And there's something we need to do. We have to solve the last mystery: the Mystery of Zero." Hack: "Mystery?" Berry: "Yeah. This place isn't real. You must look with your own eyes to decide what's true, right?"

Berry: "Wait, this is that thing Finn was looking into." Hack: "We're catchin' 'em this time, nerdy-birdy." Berry: "Copy that, Hack!" Hack: "Show yourself!" Jo: "I'm impressed. The world I built was perfect." Jo: "It was my final defense." Jo: "And you managed to see right through the Angel Fish Club." : "It's up to you two." : "You need to catch Zero." Hack: "Found ya!" Berry: "Phantom Zero!" Jo: "Welcome to my "Mark Twain" palace. I'd intended on integrating you into the algorithm," Jo: "but seeing you work together made something clear." Jo: "It seems having friends is a crucial thing at times." Jo: "So instead, I'm going to tell you everything." Berry: "Who are you?" Jo: "I lead the Customer Center from here in Mark Twain. I watch over the people and manage them. My name's Injunction Jo." Hack: "Queen Looky-Loo..." Jo: "You also know me as Phantom Zero." Berry: "If I tell everyone about Zero's true identity, it'll prove we're not Phantom Zero. Then, we'll be able to save our friends!" Jo: "Is that seriously why you came all this way? You naïve little darling." Berry: "Naïve?" Hack: "Naïve and pure-hearted. But that's fine. That might be exactly what I'm looking for. What're you yappin' about?!" Injunction Jo: "The Innocent Upload. Administrative control over Mark Twain. I'm saying I'll pass the role of "Phantom Zero" onto you naïve, pure-hearted kids." Berry: "Pass it on?" Jo: "Yes. You'll become Zero. It'll give you eyes across the whole island, allowing you to see everything and learn anything you want about it. And once you know everything, you will have the freedom to decide whether it's truth or fiction. Aided by the power you've all dubbed the "Zero Phenomenon."" Berry: "No way." Jo: "Whoever becomes Phantom Zero is essentially God, ruling from on high in this Heaven of mine." Hack: "Quit screwin' around, glitchy-witchy." Berry: "How is that even possible?" Jo: "It started with an algorithm to govern this island." Jo: "Human lives are dictated by algorithms. What we think of as "hearts" are nothing more than automated formulas reacting to a spectrum of stimuli." Berry: "That's not true! I've got a heart... a mind of my own!" Jo: "True enough. But that mind of yours and the way it reacts is decided by the cumulative response to a massive store of backed-up data." Jo: "Nothing people do is ever truly from out of the blue." Jo: "Your hearts and my own are the result of information organized by algorithms." Jo: "Free will doesn't enter into the equation. In order to oversee and protect humans, and create a world where they wouldn't need to pass judgment on one another," Jo: "a system was created to purge sin from our hearts. That's what you're standing in." Berry: "And you think that makes it okay to cover up the truth with lies? There's no way that's right!" Jo: "The very concepts of "truth" and "fiction" require external context. And if you remove that context? The distinction goes with it." Berry: "That's not true. I know it isn't!" Berry: "People... People's hearts aren't that simple! We can live just fine without your oversight and "management"!" Berry: "You're just making calls for everyone as if you know it all." Berry: "Who d'you think you are?!" Jo: "I'm just like all of you. Just a regular human, dancing to the algorithm's tune. And my function inside this system is to provide "humanity," in all its inconsistency." Jo: "A small bit of "play" allowed for by the system." Jo: "I exert an external influence on the algorithm." Jo: "That's what I was chosen for." Jo: "And now, using the authority granted to me, I'm carrying out an injunction on myself." Berry: "An injunction?" Jo: "A last-ditch chance at freeing myself by my own hand." Jo: "I'm tired." Berry: "Jo... That's why I wandered the island in the guise of Phantom Zero. To find a successor. I wanted someone naïve and pure-hearted... An innocent without a hint of self-centered desire." Berry: "And seeing the two of you, something became obvious. No individual without ties to others can be innocent. It needs to be someone with very close friends." Hack: "Ya been rip-running your mouth for so long, I'm gettin' tired!" Jo: "You're in contempt of court." Hack: "You're tryin' to save people? Mind your own business. No one asked for your help. And honestly, nobody cares, peacock lady." Jo: "Contempt of court!" Hack: "I seriously don't give a crap what's constructed or not, or what's true or not. I put my faith in the stuff I see with my own eyeballs and the experiences I have." Hack: "That goes for me, her, and all our friends. And if your algo-whatever says it's all fake, I still don't care. The stuff we find, no matter what it is, is truer than any truth! Ya got that, Jo?!" Jo: "It looks like I made the right call after all." Jo: "Go ahead and try it. Let's see how true your truth is." Hack: "Say what?" Jo: "You want to know about Phantom Zero, right? And the reason behind the Zero Phenomenon? That's why you came here, isn't it?" Hack: "The glitchy-witchy?" Jo: "Well, if you want the real truth, look for yourself. Step up and see it firsthand!" Hack: "Understood." Logi: "Huh? It says nobody's allowed in. Isn't the event supposed to be around here?" Harper: "There are rumors that the real Phantom Zero is gonna show up!" Logi: "Then, this is all part of the setup?!" Harper: "Gotta be!" Officer A: "Phantom Zero and their accomplices are arriving." Captain: "The real Phantom Zero, huh?" Captain: "Here they are." Captain: "So you two are Phantom Zero, huh?" : "I could ask you the same thing." Captain: "Huh?! What are you..." : "I know who did this." Harper: "Check it out! You're Phantom Zero!" Logi: "So are you, man!" Captain: "This is bad! The Deco Wall's down! It must be the work of Phantom Zero's gang!" Guy A: "Where's Phantom Zero?!" Lady A: "Yeah! We're all Phantom Zero!" Guy B: "I'm Phantom Zero, too!" : "What exactly is going on?" Hank: "Sorry 'bout the hold-up." Hank: "We came to get you, Finn!" Smiley: "Sorry about the wait!"

It's good to be back, everyone." Madam: "So how was "Heaven"?" : "My game's finally over." Smiley: "Wait, what about Berry?" : "She's just asleep." : "She's exhausted." Hank: "What happened to Hack?" : "Good question." : "The only thing I can say for sure..." : "...is the future is Hack's world to construct." Dad: "Could you go wake Mom for me?" Berry: "Got it!" Berry: "Mom! It's morning! Wake up!" Mom: "Good morning..." Berry: "Let's head down." Berry: "Dad! Mom's up." Dad: "Good morning, dear." Mom: "Good morning." Mom: "Mm, smells wonderful." Berry: "It's gapao rice with plenty of cilantro." Mom: "Impressive. And it looks tasty." Dad: "Since I had a late shift, I made it with Berry before I head off to bed. Right?" Berry: "Right!" Berry: "You two have been pretty busy lately, huh?" Dad: "Well, more things can now be considered for Love, including content that used to be rejected." Mom: "Right. Good or bad, there are no more secrets." Dad: "The job of content moderators is no longer about hiding things, be they good or bad. Now, it's about letting people know which things are bad." Mom: "Come on, we've got a nice meal here. Let's eat it before it gets cold. You've got class today, right?" Berry: "Yup! Time to eat!" Mom&Dad: "Time to eat." Berry: "So Love-y!" Mom: "This is good." Dad: "Isn't it, though?" Berry: "You want to know about the Yurei Detective Club, right? It all happened a year ago, but looking back, it feels more like something out of an adventure story." Berry: "Hank's as busy as ever, salvaging junk for his junk shop." Berry: ""What's cooler than making your living off the sea?" he said." Berry: "Watson opened a ramen place." Berry: "He's taken over from Analytica as the owner of the mystery ramen cart." Berry: "Madam and Smiley are doing great as always." Berry: "Apparently, Smiley and Doron go for flights regularly now." Berry: "Finn went back to his old home. The people who live there are now authorized to use Love, and since you can get Love from cleaning up, they all work hard to deal with the trash." Berry: "Jo said she was going on a trip." Berry: "An adventure in a homemade airship!" Berry: "As for Hack..." Berry: "It's been a no-contact situation since then. Since Hack chose to take Jo's place building worlds..." Berry: "Which means, well..." Berry: "But I'm sure..." Berry: "We'll meet again someday, right, diary?" Berry: "Left! Right!" Berry: "Hack!" Berry: "Hack!" Hack: "Nerdy-birdy!"

Miss Berry." Berry: "Here." Eye Doctor: "I'll take a look at the right eye now." Eye Doctor: "I see. Look to the right, please." Eye Doctor: "And the left." Eye Doctor: "Yes, it's definitely broken." Berry: "I-I see..." Eye Doctor: "The fastest thing would be to simply replace it." Eye Doctor: "Let's begin the procedure immediately." Berry: "U-Uh, I'm—" Robot Nurse: "Okay! Preparing the patient!" Berry: "U-Um, listen—" Eye Doctor: "Don't worry. This won't take a second." Berry: "The weirdo!" Eye Doctor: "It's okay. There's nothing to worry about." Berry: "Y'know what? Forget it!"

Berry: "Now I might see that weirdo again..." Berry: "Love-y!" Berry: "Mom?" Berry: "Dad?" Berry: "They're not here." Berry: "I guess I did get back from the doc's early." Berry: "Which means this is my chance! If I use their work Hyperverse space, I can find out about yesterday's Zero Phenomenon and that weirdo!" Berry: "It's my birthday."

Berry: "I need to grab some evidence." Dad: "Berry! What do you think you're doing?!" Mom: "Berry, what were you trying to do?" Berry: "Well... you weren't here, so I went looking..." Dad: "In our office, without permission?" Mom: "Come on. What were you actually doing?" Berry: "What were they actually doing, Mom and Dad?" Dad: "You don't need to know that." Berry: "But everybody was deleting a bunch of data!" Dad: "That's our job. We're content moderators." Berry: "Your job?" Mom: "That's right. We make it so people don't have to see things that'd make them worry. It's a very important job." Berry: "But what happens if people can't tell what's real anymore?" Mom: "Listen.

For now, you're grounded, and you can only log onto the Hyperverse for school." Berry: "Fine!" Mom: "Berry, wait a minute!" Dad: "Let her go." Mom: "But honey... This is too complex for her." Berry: "Lies. It all really happened." Berry: "Mom and Dad are just liars, and all that was nonsense. I don't care anymore." Berry: "That weirdo's really out there. And this time, I'm gonna track you down." Berry: "This thing has to hold some kinda clue..." Berry: "Wow!" Berry: "What's this?" Berry: "Found you!" Berry: "Okay." Berry: "Let's do this!" Berry: "This is totally different from the daytime. All these bright lights are pretty hype!" Berry: "Whoa, wait a second... I'm actually running away from home. That's Love-y!" Berry: "Something smells good!" Berry: "What's that?" Berry: "An... avatar? Excuse me—" Drunk: "Care for a sip, bambina?" Berry: "What was that? Why was there a cat?" Berry: "So weird. Oh, right. I need to go there... Which is this way!" Berry: "This is the spot." Berry: "Wh-Who are you?" : "Where is Hack?"

Investigator A: "Now, between your illegally modified Deco, and the way you fabricated a prime access code, there's no way you're an amateur. You do this a lot, don't you?" Investigator B: "How long are you going to stay quiet? We've put together a list of denied incidents the Customer Center has handled." Investigator A: "A Love transfer scam, hm? That was definitely you." Investigator A: "A Yurei who can't talk? How convenient." Investigator B: "How about this, then?" Investigator B: "Look at this. This so-called "Zero Phenomenon" the public is panicking over... This was taken in an area where Love values were reset to zero. And that's you, isn't it?" Investigator A: "I'm thinking you caused the Zero Phenomenon and made off with the Love." Eptitle Sign: "A Sham Trial A Sham Trial A Sham Trial" Berry: "Is Hack the name of that weirdo?" Berry: "E-Excuse me..." Berry: "W-Wow, you've got pretty fingers." : "That explains it." : "I see." Berry: "Hey, it's the robot that was with the weirdo!" : "I understand, Pup. So Hack was taken by the Customer Center, and you got left behind..." Berry: "So do you guys know where that weirdo Hack is?" Berry: "Hey! Wait up!" Berry: "So where are you going? And hey, about this "Hack"..." Berry: "Are you that weirdo's friend?" : "It's none of your business. Go get your Deco fixed." Berry: "Wait, how do you even know about that? And that's none of your business." Berry: "So did something happen to that Hack kid?" Berry: "And hey, you mentioned the Customer Center before. What's that about?" : "Hack was caught." Berry: "Why? Wait... Did that happen after that weirdo helped me escape?" Berry: "It's my fault." : "Hack... helped you?" Berry: "Wh-What is it?" : "Come with me." Berry: "Who exactly are you?" : "A ghost." Berry: "Wow, I'm seeing a lot of secret hideouts lately." : "He said "Don't touch."" Berry: "So about Hack..." : "How did you find that location where I met you?" Berry: "Huh? Well, I mean..." : "And who are you to Hack?" Berry: "I guess you could say... we're friends? Or maybe not." : "What are you doing?!" Berry: "Ah, sorry! It's just... Earlier, you said you were a ghost..." : "What of it?" Berry: "I mean, you can't touch ghosts, right?" Berry: "What's he laughing at?" : "The "ghosts" on this island aren't the restless spirits of the dead." : "They are people whose births aren't recognized, let alone their deaths." Berry: "What kinda "ghosts" are those?" : "You know how you need a Deco to live on this island, yes?" : "It makes switching between reality and the Hyperverse possible." : "But to get a Deco, you need to be a registered citizen. And what if, for whatever reason, that registration never happened, or details of it got lost or erased? The result is a not-insignificant number of unregistered citizens." : "People outside the system. Citizens in the shadows, their existence not officially recognized." : "Those are the Yurei. And in exchange for not having a place in the system, they can go where they please without anyone discovering them." Berry: "I never knew there were people like that." : "It isn't simply a case of not knowing. You were never told. They arrange it so there's no way to find out." Berry: "But I can see you." : "Right. It's not like the unregistered use some kind of special magic. And we're not invisible." : "This is just what Yurei are." Berry: "Hack, too?" : "By hacking people's Decos, Hack's able to move around town undetected." Berry: "Hacking?" Berry: "I get it. Because my Deco's broken, that didn't work and I was able to see Hack." Berry: "Being a Yurei sounds pretty awesome!" Berry: "What's he saying?" : "He's asking you to return Hack's device." Berry: "Wait, is that..." : "He thinks there's no way Hack would help you." : "That you were just a convenient way to keep the device safe." Berry: "Wh-What's with that?" : "I have to agree." : "You finding that location is proof." Berry: "Well, I don't have any device, so whatever." Berry: "I don't know what you just said, but you're ticking me off!" Guard: "Your trial will be held shortly in the Customer Center. Since you're a Yurei, I'm sure you know this, but given the unrecognized status of unregistered citizens, the trial will be held in private." Guard: "Even so, the jury will be made up of Center employees, and fairness is guaranteed." Guard: "I can't believe a kid's responsible for the Zero Phenomenon. What a mess. We've got our hands full with the game cover story and staff cleaning up all traces of it." Hack: "That was a good nap." Madam: "Hello. How are you?" : "Madam 44." Madam: "Finn." Madam: "Out of all the inventors ever, do you know which is the greatest creator of all time?" Madam: "It's the "accident," my dear. Yes, I'm reminded of the time those fine ladies wandered into the misty forest... Right before I shot that wicked magistrate with an arrow from my golden bow. Yes, that little "accident" had my heart roaring like a lion. Just like now!" Madam: "You're in a spot of trouble, aren't you?" : "I am. And you could call it an "accident." I must admit, gossip queen or not, I'm impressed you already know." Madam: "Underestimate my connections at your peril. This isn't like you, though. Good thing I already have a lead." : "You know where Hack's being held?" Madam: "Oh, little Hacky isn't just being held... They're setting the poor child up to take the fall for this "Zero Phenomenon" nonsense." : "They're blaming the Zero Phenomenon on Hack?" Madam: "Yes, as if the child were Phantom Zero." Berry: "That's not true! That weirdo wasn't to blame! I saw it happen. When the Zero Phenomenon kicked in, it wasn't Hack who caused it!" Madam: "You'd need evidence to prove that, my dear. And you'd need it right away, because the trial is scheduled for tomorrow morning." Berry: "What do I do? This is my fault." Berry: "They're gonna make that weirdo out to be Phantom Zero because of me. What can I do?" Berry: "Hey, what'll happen to Hack?" : "If convicted, Hack will be moved to a correctional facility." : "Never to be seen again." Berry: "Not happenin'!" Berry: "I mean, I wanna see that weirdo again. Plus, the kid's innocent. Hack's not Phantom Zero." : "But without any evidence..." Berry: "What about data from when we got caught in the Zero Phenomenon? There might be some on here." : "So you did have something of Hack's." Berry: "Please." : "Analyzing this might help us solve the mystery." Berry: "Awesome! You're gonna examine it in the Hyperverse, right? I wanna come, too!" : "Then, I shall have you do it. And..." : "I'll make the most picturesque Hyperverse space in all of creation for you to explore. A what-esque what now?" : "I don't follow, but it sounds Love-y!" : "Everything we need is on its way." Hank: "Hey, Finn, baby!" Hank: "Down it goes." : "Hank, we don't have much time. We need to start building." Hank: "The kid ain't around today?" Hank: "Looks like somethin' bad's gone down... So you're going into the Hyperverse? Ya sure that's a good idea?" : "No. She's going in." Hank: "This girl here?! For real?" Berry: "Yep!" Berry: "This is some beefy hardware." Hank: "You know your stuff, sweetheart." Berry: "Don't I, though?" Hank: "Okay. All set! Yeah!" Hank: "I call this the "Spirit of the Storm," also known as... The SOS!" Berry: "Love-y!" : "This should do fine. Now I just need to decompress the data on this device..." Hank: "All right, folks, I'll leave you to it." Hank: "Bon voyage." Berry: "Okay!" : "Data analysis complete." : "Activating Hyperverse." Berry: "Let's-a go!" Berry: "It's so Love-y that you can make a world like this." Berry: "Plus, it's totally standalone. No connections means it's not utilizing any shared data, right? That's crazy! It puts the "Hyper" in Hyperverse!" : "Stop muttering to yourself. You can hear me, yes? I'm going to set construction prime authorization to the highest level. Get ready." Berry: "Wow! Okay!" Berry: "So fast!" Berry: "What the..." Berry: "I can't stop!" : "Simmer down." Berry: "This is nothing!" : "Okay, I'm going to display the data from Hack's device now." Berry: "Wow. It's usually only the Customer Center that can produce something this detailed." Berry: "You're awesome, Finn!" : "Skip the flattery. Use the Timeline to figure out where ground zero for the Phenomenon was." Berry: "Right." Berry: "What the heck is this tech, though?" Berry: "This should do it." Berry: "There!" Berry: "I think that's the place." Berry: "Okay, now to find it!" : "What is it? Is there too much data to sort through? Your Deco's acting up, too." Berry: "Yeah. I'm still good, though." : "It's the right eye, yes? Be careful." Berry: "This is it. See? This proves Hack didn't do it." : "All right, understood. Now you just need to reproduce the data from when the Zero Phenomenon became active." Berry: "Got it!" Berry: "Is this how it happened?" Berry: "Well, Hack didn't do it, and it doesn't seem like anyone's making it happen..." Berry: "Did it just happen naturally?" Berry: "Okay. Got the record." : "We can't be sure it was a natural occurrence yet. There's not enough data." Berry: "You think? But who could've done it, then?" : "There'll be plenty of time to find that out later." : "All done." : "Right!" Prosecutor: "As I've just laid out, the defendant has pilfered Love scores on multiple occasions in the past. In addition to fabricating scores—" Hack: "So sleepy..." Judge: "Continue." Prosecution: "As such, the defendant caused the Zero Phenomenon in order to steal even more Love. In short, the defendant is Phantom Zero!" Belle: "Objection!" Judge: "And you are?" Belle: "My apologies, your honor. I know I'm late, but I'm here to represent the defendant." Belle: "I'm a defense lawyer." Belle: "My name is Belle." Prosecution: "The defendant already declined legal representation. Who arranged this?" Belle: "Uh, well, it was..." : "Say it was a human rights group." : "It was a cumin whites gloop! Huh?" Judge: "Order!" Judge: "Now, who arranged this?" : "Human. Rights. Group." Berry: "Oh, crap." Berry: "I-It was a human rights group." Berry: "Now, members of the jury..." Berry: "I'd like you to look at this." Berry: "First, I'd like to submit this data recreation as evidence." Berry: "You're looking at the location where the Zero Phenomenon occurred." Berry: "And this is it in action. As you can see, the Zero Phenomenon doesn't appear to be triggered by anyone, but rather, it is something that occurs naturally. Now, here is the defendant at that same moment in time. As you can see, this is a completely different location, meaning in terms of time and place, there's no way my client could've been responsible!" : "Hey. Don't forget about the issues with your right eye." Belle: "Yes, it's pure coincidence that my client was found at the scene of the Zero Phenomenon. As you can see, if anything, the defendant was a victim of this strange occurrence. And this data is irrefutable proof of that!" : "Don't get worked up. You'll wreck the disguise." Belle: ""Zero is a lie. And everything that is not zero is the truth." These are the words spoken by the Phantom Zero present in the popular video game. But a game is just that: a game. In short, the incident this case centers around has nothing to do with Phantom Zero, who is nothing more than a character in a video game. However, due to the prosecutor's insistence on there being a connection to Phantom Zero, a completely innocent person has been held responsible in a total miscarriage of justice!" Berry: "Your honor!" Judge: "Wh-Who are you?" Juror A: "Wait, wasn't she in the video evidence?" Juror: "What's going on?" Juror: "Uh..." : "What happened?" Hack: "Nerdy-birdy!" Berry: "I messed up." Juror A: "What is that?" Hack: "Back for more, glitchy-witchy?!" Juror B: "Look! The Zero Phenomenon!" Juror C: "I-It's Phantom Zero!" Juror D: "D-Don't be stupid! This isn't a game!" Judge: "O-Order!" Guard: "I-It's Phantom Zero!" Berry: "See? That's the real Phantom Zero!" : "What did you say? No, it doesn't matter right now. This is your chance. Get Hack out of there." Berry: "Oh, right." : "I'm sending instructions via your Deco. Just follow what they say." Berry: "Got it." Hack: "Is Finn pullin' a trick or two?" Berry: "Yeah." Hack: "Don't leave me sit-sittin' here all day." Hack: "It's time to bail." Berry: "Leave it to me." Berry: "Upsy-daisy!" Berry: "I. Love..." Berry: "Ai!" Jurors: "Should we evacuate?" Berry: "Piece of cake!" : "Good. Once you're out of the courtroom, head straight down the hallway." Security A: "What's the deal with this robot?" Security B: "Hey, the defendant's gone!" Security A: "Was it just a distraction?!" Security B: "That kid really was Phantom Zero!" : "It's right at the next corner." : "After that, go left." : "Get a move on. You've got 20 seconds left." Berry: "Hey, wait!" Berry: "This is a dead end!" : "Jump down from there." Berry: "N-N-N-N-N-N-No way!" : "Three seconds left. Jump. Two. One." Hack: "Zero!" Berry: "Please!" Berry: "We are long-long gone-gone!" Berry: "Giga! Tera! Peta! Exa! Zetta! Yotta! Harpo! What now, Finn?" : "Right. You'll be coming up on a cargo terminal. Sit tight until then." Berry: "W-Wait... Is that... Crap, they found us!" Squad: "You won't get away, Phantom Zero!" Berry: "What do we do, Finn?" Berry: "Finn! Finn!" Berry: "I don't wanna die!" Trooper: "This is the search unit. A freight cart on the rail has exploded."

Berry: "It's morning?" Berry: "Not here?" Hack: "Giga! Tera! Peta! Exa! Zeta! Yotta... Nerdy-birdy!" Hack: "You like to oversleep, huh?" Berry: "Good morning, diary." Berry: "The weather around here is great again today." Eptitle Sign: "The Yurei Detective Club The Yurei Detective Club The Yurei Detective Club" : "It's come together nicely." Hack: "It's gobblin' time!" Hank: "Ah, food." : "It's gapao rice today." Berry: "Smells great!" Hank: "Ew, cilantro. Always smells like bombardier beetles to me." : "Don't like it? Don't eat it." Hack: "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" Berry: "Everything you make is great, Finn!" Hank: "Well, around these parts, you can't tweak how it looks with your Deco, nor how it tastes with Flavor." Berry: "You can taste the realness!" Hack: "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" Berry: "Wow, it's Love-y!" Hank: "This right here, though? I'd delete it." Berry: "Thanks for the food!" Hank: "That was a hell of a meal." : "No." : "No." : "No." Hank: "Found anything promising job-wise? "Searching for lost property..." Temp work?" Berry: "They're recruiting members for a flash mob in the Hyperverse! Sounds like fun!" Hack: "Nope. Couldn't be more not interested." : "How many times do I have to tell you? We..." Berry: ""...don't do odd-jobs." Still, doing that kind of surprise sounds like fun to me." Hank: "Not to mention, we've been open for four months now. Ya think we can still afford to be picky?" : "We're a detective club, don't forget." Hank: "Yeah, yeah, I know. You're hung up on being "pro" sleuths." Berry: "And so, this is how our day begins. And if you're curious about when my life started looking like this... It was four months ago." Berry: "A Zero Phenomenon occurred at 2538.39 on the Timeline." Berry: "And after the court case, I became a Yurei, just like Hack." : "Now! Jump into the terminal!" Berry: "Yup, back then, Finn fabricated data to make it look like Hack and I died in an explosion, and overwrote the records. That's how we got away from the Customer Center." Berry: "With my personal record gone, I couldn't use my Deco anymore. All the data and Love I'd got in the Hyperverse was gone, too. The Deco in my right eye is still broken, but Finn hacked the one in my left eye so I can still use it." Berry: "I'm now invisible, just like Hack. I'm a Yurei!" Red Stamp Signs: "DECEASED DECEASED DECEASED DECEASED DECEASED DECEASED" Berry: "And so, diary, Finn made contact with other Yurei like him and opened up a detective agency on the edge of town. Since Decos and Love aren't much use out here, everyone has to actually make stuff from scratch. But being able to actually touch everything is so weird... And Love-y!" Berry: "I might be homeless, Love-less, and declared dead..." Berry: "But I'm still here." Hank: "Come on in." Mitsumame: "Uh... well..." Mitsumame: "I'm sorry!" Mitsumame: "Um, I'm looking for Finn..." Hank: "Finn?" Mitsumame: "This is a detective agency, right?" Mitsumame: "So that's my story..." Berry: "Your daughter is missing?" Mitsumame: "Right. I only took my eyes off her for a second..." : "Mr. Mitsumame, the Customer Center is better suited to this sort of thing." Mitsumame: "Please don't say that! I'm begging you!" Hack: "This dude's a liar! He's lyin' like crazy!" Berry: "What do you mean?" Hack: "Check it. I diggity-dug up some big picture data." Mitsumame: "Th-That's my personal information!" Hank: "Hey, man! This says you're not married, and you sure as hell ain't got a daughter! Not even a girlfriend, baby!" : "Care to explain?" Mitsumame: "I'm sorry. But I..." Berry: "This missing daughter of yours... This is actually your avatar, isn't it?" Mitsumame: "Yeah." Hack: "For real, nerdy-birdy?" Berry: "When you call her your "daughter," you mean you care about her as if she was. That's how it is, isn't it?" Mitsumame: "I'm begging you! I'll pay you all the Love I've saved to get her back!" Smiley: "All your Love?!" Hack: "I. Love. Ai." Madam: "And just how much Love are we talking here?" Smiley: "Well, that's a joke." Hank: "We've got us... nothing!" Hack: "As low as it goes!" Mitsumame: "Huh? That's odd. Where'd all my Love go?" Hack: "More like you're just lyin' some more." Berry: "Could this be..." Smiley: "No Love, no point." Mitsumame: "Please! You Yurei are the only ones I can turn to!" : "Naturally. Given that it's an avatar, the Customer Center likely wouldn't care." Mitsumame: "But she's the only one for me. Without her, I've been like the walking dead." Berry: "When exactly did she go missing?" Mitsumame: "At 2538.39 on the Timeline." Hack: "Glitchy-witchy..." : "It's just a coincidence. I wouldn't read anything into it." Berry: "I see. It was near the scene, too." Mitsumame: "The scene of what?! Did something happen?" Berry: "I understand, Mr. Mitsumame!" : "Berry!" Berry: "We'll look into it for you." Mitsumame: "Th-Thank you so much! She really means the world to me!" Berry: "Well, diary, Finn said "Suit yourself" to me, and Hack's napping. The client this time \h\his Mr. Mitsumame!!! He wants us to find his avatar o.o!! That was a shock Mr. Mitsumame cares about the avatar like she's his own daughter, so I want to help him if I can. Finn and the others said to let it go... On the Timeline!! He was willing to\h\h spend all his Love to get\h\h her back. Must be sad\h\h losing something you\h really care about. Is this a coincidence??? That's the same time Hack and I were attacked IRL It looks like the location Mitsumame's avatar went missing was near the incident from that night. Here Finn says it's a coincidence... Even if he's right, it's still weird. How do I find this avatar? Hack and Finn aren't gonna help... ^_^;; For now, I'll head to the scene of the disappearance. I might find some leads there." Berry: "But going by the Timeline..." Berry: "It was the same time Hack and I got hit by the Zero Phenomenon. Plus, it happened near the area where Mr. Mitsumame's avatar went missing." Berry: "Even if it's a coincidence, I'm curious." Berry: "Okay!" Berry: "Perfect!" Berry: "I'm counting on you!" Hank: "Whoa, hold up. Try using this." Berry: "What kind of robot is it?" Hank: "Doggo the Robo-Dog. I built him to sniff out and track down data." Berry: "That's Love-y! I'll see how he does. Thanks!" Hank: "Well, it's still early days for him, so I dunno how much help he'll be." Hank: "Hey, Berry?" Lady A: "How'd it go with that guy?" Lady B: "Really good!" Berry: "Rule #1 of being a detective: Check the scene thoroughly. That's where the case begins. If there are clues, they'll be there. And according to Mr. Mitsumame, this is where the avatar went missing." Berry: "How's that?" Berry: "What is it?" Berry: "Aw, this is just my device." Berry: "Did the cleaners push it here?" Berry: "Guess I'll go check the Public Information Office." Logi: "I'm telling you, he showed up again. On 9th Street in District 19 this time." Harper: "Phantom Zero? Probably a load of hooey again." Berry: "Hey, Logi!" Berry: "Hm? Huh?" Berry: "Hey, Harper!" Harper: "What was that?" Logi: "Something wrong?" Berry: "Oh, right. They can't see me because of the Deco camouflage." Harper: "I got the feeling someone was calling out to me..." Logi: "What are you on about? Well, whatever. I say we go looking for residual data!" Harper: "Can't. I gotta go to the dentist." Logi: "Bet you do, with all that sugary stuff you eat." Harper: "Give it a rest. Anyway, you can go with someone else. Someone'll be in the response team office. Hm, probably not Berry, but..." Berry: "I'm right here." Logi: "Come to think of it, where did she get to?" Harper: "She just stopped coming to school. Wonder what happened to her." Logi: "Well, it's not like her attendance was all that great before." Harper: "Tell me about it! And she'd make up stuff like seeing Phantom Zero." Berry: "I didn't make it up! I really did!" Berry: "Fine!" Harper: "Huh? Was that Berry's voice?" Logi: "I thought so, too." Harper: "Ah! Jeez, Logi, don't eat my stuff!" Logi: "Huh? C'mon, you know me better than that. You just ate it faster than you thought." Harper: "Uh, guess I must have." Harper: "Huh." Berry: "You're right. Let's go." Berry: "Okay!" Berry: "Perfect!" Berry: "You wait here. Rule #2 of being a detective: Always be skeptical about information. Sometimes, the data you can see will give you hints about what's missing." Berry: "Nothing shows up when tracing back his login data." Berry: "That's why Mr. Mitsumame never even noticed his Love had gone missing." Berry: "The Customer Center has systems in place that make people forget anything sad. But they couldn't erase the fact that he had an avatar he cares deeply about." Berry: "I think that's amazing." Berry: "Hack's personal data. I looked it up so I'd have some ammunition next time Hack makes fun of me..." Berry: "But when you've always been a Yurei, it's only natural there'd be nothing of note. I found this on me, though. I'm marked as "deceased." Sooner or later, Logi and Harper will forget all about me. I really am a Yurei now." Case Sign: "Registrars" Berry: "Wait, Mom and Dad were the ones who wrote this up?" Berry: "You shouldn't be in here!" Berry: "Aw, shoot!" Berry: "Jeez." : "Is your interest in this case personal?" : "Maybe a client treating a lost avatar like a missing child struck a chord with you." Berry: "It's not like that!" : "Once something's been struck from the record, it'll fade from memory over time. As if it never existed." Berry: "Is it right for everything to be reduced to zero like that?" : "I couldn't say." Berry: "It bugs me..." : "You can leave if you're feeling homesick." Berry: "Look, it just bugs me, okay?!" Berry: "I know lots of stuff now that I could never even see when I lived in the city. Some of it bad, some of it scary, and not all of it stuff I needed to know... But the fact nobody ever has a chance of knowing is what bugs me." Berry: "So I want to know." : "Right. And that's what we're here for." Berry: "Yeah." Berry: "Jeez!" Berry: "Maybe there's still some trace at Mom and Dad's workplace." Berry: "Rule #3 of being a detective..." Berry: "Let's check it out." Berry: "Never thought I'd come back here for something like this." Berry: "Okay, I'm in." Berry: "If I check Mom and Dad's activity on the Timeline..." Berry: "No data. Figures. Ah, but I can still check their tag history." Berry: "Here we go! Lessee... Is there anything in the data on the Zero Phenomenon that was covered up that matches the avatar's file size?" Berry: "Nothing." Berry: "Maybe it wasn't covered up, just discarded?" Berry: "There it is!" Berry: "Oh, crap." Berry: "Dad..." Mom: "Hey. What's wrong?" Dad: "What about you? It's late." Mom: "I'm having trouble sleeping... So I figured I might as well fill my quota." Dad: "I see. I guess I woke you." Mom: "It's not that..." Dad: "I see." Mom: "On nights like this, I keep thinking she's come home." Dad: "We've been over this..." Mom: "But... I told her if something was really important, deleting it wouldn't make it go away." Mom: "But now, she's... really gone..." Mom: "I still can't believe... she died in an accident..." Dad: "I know. But we've done everything we can." Mom: "There might still be something." Mom: "I think she's just missing..." Dad: "But we even got permission to check the secret backup data the Customer Center collects. We begged them for it." Mom: "Yeah, you're right. And we didn't find anything. Even so..." Berry: "The Customer Center collects the city's backup data?" Dad: "Well, if we can't sleep anyway..." Mom: "Let's keep looking." Berry: "I had no idea they could do stuff like that. I'd better show the others." Mom: "Wait! Doesn't that look a bit like Berry?" Mom: "That was recorded yesterday. You're imagining it." Mom: "Yeah. Maybe I'm just tired..." Berry: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, but I can't just yet." Hank: "How's that?" Mitsumame: "I'm back! This is awesome! Oh-Em-Gee! I'm, like, so grateful! I'm over the moon!" Hank: "Save your thanks for the kid." Berry: "I'm happy for you. Turns out, it was disposed of by mistake." Mitsumame: "I didn't know what to expect, but I am so glad I came! And now I feel fantastic, Miss Detective! Thanks so much!" Hank: "You look like someone popped your tires." Berry: "Finn was right. The avatar going missing wasn't caused by the Zero Phenomenon." Hack: "Feelin' like bailing?" Berry: "Don't be stupid. We still haven't figured out what glitchy-witchy's deal is." Hack: "True that." Berry: "Oh! But I did see this weird system..." Hank: "At a content moderator's workstation?" Berry: "Yeah. I managed to catch a glimpse of Mom and Dad doing a search at the Customer Center." Hank: "Nice work." Berry: "And they can apparently search the Timeline for a backup of the entire city." Hank: "For real? Where would they store that kind of data?" Madam: "I've never heard of a Timeline backup like that." Berry: "Here's the footage I captured." : "Let me see that." Hank: "You hit the jackpot!" Madam: "She's really onto something with this data, isn't she, Finn?" : "She is. Not bad." Berry: "Really?!" Berry: "Well, diary... There were a few twists and turns, but I'm ready to solve this Zero Phenomenon mystery so I can be reunited with the people who haven't forgotten me." Berry: "I'll solve it at this detective agency with all my weirdo friends! And the weather around here is great yet again!" Hack: "Easy there..."

Hack: "Sniff sniff. No stink at all." Berry: "It's totally different from what's on Decopedia." Professor: "That's because that information is incorrect. You're looking at a true nue." Berry: "Is Decopedia ever wrong, though? It's moderated by the Customer Center." Professor: "Someone must've overwritten the correct data after a case of Zero Phenomenon. And now, my darling gets treated like an impostor. Poor thing." Professor: "Inaccurate information is evil. The way my beloved nue gets treated like a lie due to false information is more than I can bear." Berry: "So when you say you want us to save your nue..." Professor: "Could you please update Decopedia so it has the correct information on it? I want you to save my beloved nue." Berry: "And that's what he said." Hank: "Rewrite a Decopedia entry, huh?"

Give me a second. I'll make it rewritable." Hack: "All done!" Berry: "Oh, come on. It looked nothing like that. It had a rounder belly, I think. Ta-da!" Hack: "Nerdy-birdy sucks at this!"

Professor: "I asked you to correct the information on Decopedia about nue." Professor: "That was the request." Professor: "Well, this is fascinating." Berry: "I'm so sorry." Professor: "The comments the museum has been getting are also quite interesting. "This museum's got a fake, gross nue on display." "I recommend not going." "I thought I'd get to see a cute nue, but it was some nasty thing instead." "Worst museum ever! Never going again." "The nue here is grody." "I was tricked into believing they had a nue. No point in going." "The nue here is..."" Berry: "I'm really sorry! We didn't think it'd turn out like this!" Professor: "This museum only displays animals based off of scientifically accurate information." Professor: "My beloved nue is weeping in sorrow." Professor: "I'm sorry, but as things stand, I won't be paying you." Berry: "What do we do? Isn't there some way to get rid of all that fake nue info?" Hank: "Not after the way it blew up, no." Hack: "Nue-nue is fine, too." Berry: "We can't just ignore false information." Hack: "Why not?" Berry: "What do you mean? Because it's not right. And we won't get paid, either. We need to make sure it's corrected." Madam: "I actually have the truth right here." Smiley: "Yep." Berry: "A book?! A real one?!" : "Remarkable." : "It's positively ancient, too." Madam: "Oh? It seems we've dug up something even Finn isn't familiar with." : "Where did you find it?" Madam: "An old friend of mine let me have it." Hack: "Sniff sniff. Stinky!" Madam: "That's the smell of old books." Madam: "That's an illustrated book with a lot of old knowledge in it." Hack: "It's super stinky!" Smiley: "Still smells better than you." Hack: "Sniff sniff. So stinky!" Madam: "Read that page, if you would." Berry: ""Nue: A fictional creature, passed down through oral tradition."" Hank: "Wait, so as a species, the nue never actually existed?" Berry: "Which would mean both the Decopedia nue and the one at the Neo Animal Museum are based on false information?" Madam: "I heard a line when Moses and I were searching through the reeds... "The best way to get someone to believe a lie is to wrap it up in an obvious truth." "You'll never find a more effective way than that."" Berry: "Uh... What does it mean?" Madam: "The truth can be a mistake, and a mistake can be the truth. And a mistake is a mistake, and the truth is the truth." Berry: "Is there any chance the info in this book is wrong?" : "From what I'm seeing, I'd say it's much more likely that the Professor is wrong." Berry: "We'd better tell him the truth, then." Hack: ""Truth"?" Berry: "Yeah. The truth that the nue isn't real." Hack: ""True" this, "false" that..." Hack: "Nerdy-birdy, you're boring." Berry: "It's not about what's boring or not. I wouldn't want someone believing something about me that wasn't true. Wouldn't you feel the same way, Hack?" Berry: "Well... I guess, in your case, there's no info to be found, true or false." : "Hack's info?" Berry: "Oh, when I was looking at the records in the Customer Center, I took a peek at it." Berry: "There was no record of Hack's past at all." Hack: "Who said you could do that?!" Hack: "Ragey-rage rage rage rage rage!" Hack: "Nerdy-birdy, you're in the wrong!" Berry: "I was just looking! And anyway, it said we were both dead, so I didn't find anything." Hack: "You're alive, nerdy-birdy!" Hack: "Data says you're dead, but I see you living right now! So the info's wrong!" Hack: "Ya gotta look with your own eyes to find out what's true!" Berry: "There are some truths you can't see for yourself!" Berry: "Diary, I'm feeling awful." Berry: "What am I supposed to do? Can it really be wrong to tell people the truth?" Berry: "I dunno. I dunno, but the Professor did want the truth, so..." Berry: "This can't be wrong, can it?" Professor: "I knew all along that the nue never really existed." Berry: "Wait, really?" Professor: "Really." Berry: "What are you doing?" Professor: "Inaccurate information must be erased." Berry: "Wait, you're gonna get rid of the nue?! Do you really have to go that far?" Professor: "It's the policy of this museum to only display scientifically accurate animals. It would be wrong to have a fictional creature on display." Berry: "But you said you loved your nue!" Professor: "I have no need for false information." Berry: "All trace of the nue the Professor loved was gone." Berry: "Decopedia, show me the info for the nue." Search Sign: "Search Results Advanced Search: Search In: Create a New Page for [Nue]" Berry: "The listing for the nue on Decopedia was gone, too." Berry: "I think the page was probably a total mess of false information by the end." Berry: "The nue craze was over before you knew it, and replaced by something else." Berry: "No one even seemed to remember the nue anymore." Berry: "It was like it had never existed in the first place." Gal A: "It's all about the axolotl! I like 'em an axo-lot!" Berry: "I don't know what's right or wrong about it all... But I'm kind of sad that the nue seems to be gone completely." Berry: "Nue nue..." : "Did you apologize to Hack?" : "For looking up data you shouldn't have. I think you should apologize." Berry: "Was it really that bad?" : "Yurei have pasts, too." : "And everyone has things in their past they'd rather keep private." Berry: "Listen, Hack... I'm sorry about what I did." Berry: "What're you looking at?" Hack: "Looked up nerdy-birdy's school data. Without asking!" Hack: "You got an 8 in science? Nerdy-birdy's super dumb!" Berry: "Don't— Hack! Get back here!" Hack: "Hey, a poem you had to write over summer vacation. Should be good!" Berry: "Anything but that! It's my secret shame!" Hack: ""Wherefore art I Berry?"" Berry: "Stop! Please! I'm begging you!

Doron: "For your information, I am not a pile of junk!" Doron: "I believe a fault in my protocols is to blame for me losing my memories. Which means I am malfunctioning, not junk!" Berry: "So you've got, like, amnesia?" : "He's "lost," essentially. A case of a wandering AI drone." Hank: "Hey, she found you in a junkyard on the edge of town, right?" Smiley: "He came flying at me from outta nowhere." Doron: "I am certain that my owner has been inconvenienced by losing me. I ask that you find my owner for me." Hank: "So it's the owner that's inconvenienced, huh?" : "It should just be a case of checking your Customer Center registration. Right, Watson?" Smiley: "Except we couldn't find a registration number. Which makes this a job for the Yurei Detective Club." Berry: "No memories, no registration, and hunting for his owner without a single clue!" Berry: "So Love-y!" : "Not interested." Hack: "No bingo. Hey, Finn, let's keep doin' that thing from before!" : "I need to water the plants on the roof first, and you're helping." Hank: "Kinda weird to see you helping people out, Smiley. Or robots, in this case." Smiley: "I've never seen this model of drone before, so I figure the owner's gotta be rollin' in Love." Hank: "That makes sense. Seems to have a few years on him, too." Hank: "Well, I'm in!" Berry: "Yeah, me too!" Doron: "I-I-I-I am ever so grateful. Helping me like this... I can't thank you enough-nough-nough..." Smiley: "You're shaking kind of a lot there. You sure you're not junk?" Doron: "H-H-How r-rude!" Berry: "Some kind of vibration function?" Doron: "I-I th-think I-I'm j-j-just sh-shaking w-with g-g-gratitude..." Berry: "You okay?" Dorone: "Y-Y-Yes..." Smiley: "Told ya he was junk." Hank: "Huh, you don't see this every day." Smiley: "Well?" Berry: "Can you fix him? Hey, there's some kind of number here." Hank: "Probably a production number. Gotta say, the little dude's a lot more complex than you'd think from lookin' at him." Smiley: "I bet that means an even bigger Love payout." Hank: "Okay..." Berry: "What are you doing?" Hank: "Seeing what kinda data he has." Smiley: "Will you be able to read his memories?" Hank: "Won't know until I take a look." Hank: "I can say this much, though..." Hank: "We're looking at an illegal drone here." Smiley: "Love-y!" Hank: "There." Hank: "All done!" Berry: "Nice!" Hank: "Okay, from the scope of these customizations, it's fair to say this drone acted as its owner's proxy on the regular. But the owner seems to have gone missing. And the only clue left behind?" Smiley: "Quit building the suspense." Hank: "Get a load of this." Smiley: "I have no idea what I'm looking at." Hank: "Exactly. It was made this way on purpose to keep it hidden. Pretty patchy, too. This is the one part I was able to restore." Berry: ""Zero is a lie." "And everything that isn't zero is reality."" Berry: "Phantom Zero!" Smiley: "For real?" Berry: "This is the one from the game, though." Smiley: "So who's the guy with Doron?" Berry: "Hey, I know! If they're playing together, maybe that's his owner!" Doron: "Hello!" Doron: "What was I doing?" Berry: "Great! You're all better. Now we can get to work on the investigation." Doron: "Is this my owner?" Berry: "Well, he's in the picture with you." Doron: "His face isn't ringing any bells." Smiley: "See? Junk." Doron: "How rude! It's the repairs made to me that are junk!" Hank: "Excuse me?!" : "I guess that should do it for today." Hack: "It was kinda like "Ungh" when I landed right at the end." Hack: "Could ya make it more like "Klak!"?" : "I see. Let me make the adjustments." Hack: "Found something. What's this symbol?" : "Let me see." : "Interesting. Hack, I need you to go back in." Hack: "What for?" : "There's something I'd like to look up." Smiley: "This is a list of people who have reported lost hardware." Berry: "That's a lot to go through." Doron: "Is this really going to get us anywhere?" Smiley: "Yeah, I mean, you're illegal in the first place, right? No way you'd get reported missing." Doron: "I'm i-i-illegal?! I-I had no idea!" Berry: "Then, let's look up that production number on his circuit board." Smiley: "Why?" Berry: "I bet the parts he's made from are legal." Smiley: "Oh, I get it!" Doron: "Oh dear, I'm illegal." Berry: "There. Everyone who has a legit drone has been excluded." Doron: "Then, my owner who we saw using the Deco must be one of the people left?" Berry: "Yeah! Let's go through it together." Doron: "Thank you so much, Miss Berry." Smiley: "You really like to stick your nose into everyone's business, don't you?" Berry: "Do I?" Smiley: "I didn't say it was a bad thing." Berry: "Hey, I haven't seen the Madam lately. What's she up to?" Smiley: "Guess she hasn't been in the mood to drop by." Berry: "Ah, he broke again."

Come on, Doron. Let's go see this Kearney guy." Doron: "Right!" Doron: "Um..." Berry: "What's wrong? You're finally gonna meet him." Doron: "If I'm illegal, perhaps I was meant to remain hidden? Which makes me question if I should really just float on in there." Berry: "Don't worry about that." Berry: "Hank said you wouldn't be spec'd out the way you are if he didn't care about you. So it'll be fine." Berry: "Okay, let's go meet your owner, Mr. Kearney." Doron: "Right. Please lead the way." Berry: "Excuse me. I'm with Fuzzy Deliveries. Is there a Mr. Kearney staying here?" Robot: "What is the nature of your visit?" Berry: "One of our drones made a delivery here the other day and there seems to have been a mix-up." Robot: "That's odd. There's no one here by that name, including on the staff." Berry: "Maybe he used to be here, then?" Robot: "He did not." Berry: "But I've got a record of this Deco being used here..." Robot: "I'm sorry, but I need to verify your employee ID number." Berry: "Oh, uh... Excuse me!" Berry: "Huh? Where'd he go?" Berry: "Hey, Doron!" Berry: "Doron, wait up!" Berry: "What?"

Berry: "Does that mean you know this Kearney guy?" Madam: "Everything I saw reflected in his eyes..." Madam: "taught me about the world I was still naïve about back then." Madam: "It was fate that we met." Madam: "He said it was his duty to create a world unlike anything anyone had seen before."

Madam: "So come on. Get over here." Berry: "This is super Love-y!" Madam: "Hold on tight, my dear." Smiley: "Damn, Grandma." Madam: "Okay, we should be far enough away now." Madam: "Time for you to head back to the office. And about Smiley and me..." Berry: "Your secret's safe with me." Madam: "Life's more fun with a few mysteries in it, right?" Berry: "But can I ask you something?" Berry: "Well... Were you and Kearney in a relationship?" Berry: "Was he the reason you joined the Detective Club? In order to find him?" Madam: "You're such a little romantic." Madam: "Hm, who can really say? I've forgotten my reasons." Berry: "No way. Then, were you lying before?" Madam: "Lies shouldn't be wasted carelessly, my dear. There's no telling when you'll need an important one." Berry: "Do you know where Doron's owner, Kearney, is?" Berry: "Doron wants to see him." Madam: "I do, too." Berry: "Then..." Madam: "You really do like poking that cute little nose into everyone's business, don't you?" Madam: "I don't think that's a bad thing." Madam: "That's probably why little Hacky..." Berry: "What about Hack?" Madam: "That child's heart used to be locked up tight and everyone was treated with suspicion. But since meeting you, something's changed." Madam: "I think I understand why." Berry: "Um... Well..." Madam: "Right, then. There is one thing I can tell you. You can have more than your fair share of sorrow all on your lonesome, but to truly experience joy?" Madam: "You need the help of others for that. That's why I joined you all." Madam: "Okay, I'm heading back now." Madam: "Oh, and tell that little cutie..." Madam: "that I appreciated his visit. I'll see you back at the agency." Madam: "See you later." Madam: "The moon is beautiful tonight." Berry: "Hank! It's bad! Doron's hurt!" Hank: "Man, he really took a whooping. So how'd the hunt for his owner go?" Berry: "Well, I found a few leads... But we still don't know where Kearney is." : "I'm going to connect his circuit board directly to the SOS." Berry: "Huh? But why?" Hack: "We'll world up and get our hack on, nerdy-birdy!" : "Examining his restored data brought something interesting to light." Berry: "Wait, you two said you weren't interested..." Hack: "Put a sock in it, nerdy-birdy." Berry: "Thank you, Finn! Hack!" Hack: "And tera!" Doron: "Where are we?" Berry: "It's the Hyperverse. We're going to reinitialize your programming from here." Doron: "But how?" Hack: "Open sesame!" Hack: "Here we go!" 0-N Zero: "Now, let us begin." 0-N Zero: "My puzzle is a mystifying one..." 0-N Zero: "But there is no puzzle that cannot be solved." 0-N Zero: "You needn't worry on that score." Berry: "That's Phantom Zero!" 0-N Zero: "Phantom Zero is a magician from a fairy tale, capable of doing things no one else can." Hack: "What a zappy light show!" 0-N Zero: "Begone, interlopers!" : "Be careful. He's a security block intended to erase the contact logs." Berry: "What's going on here? Is this a game?" Hack: "Damn right it is, nerdy-birdy!" : "This "game" was created from the core of Zero Nation's systems. Hack, you need to find out who this person is." Hack: "I. Love. Ai!" Doron: "This way, you two!" Hack: "How'd you know?" Berry: "It's laid out like the garden at the old folks' home." Doron: "Correct." Hack: "Nice one, flying junk heap!" 0-N Zero: "Where have they gone?" Hack: "Dash..." Hack: "Got yer mask!" Doron: "Mr. Hackitt!" : "So it really was Hackitt." Berry: "Huh? Who's Hackitt?" Doron: "Mr. Hackitt!" 0-N Zero: "I am Phantom Zero." Berry: "Doron!" Hack: "Grabbed everythin' we needed!" Berry: "That's what you were after?" : "Right. It's the key to learning about Hackitt." Berry: "And Hackitt is..." Doron: "The world-building genius and legendary architectural designer, Kearney. When he worked as a Hyperverse game designer, he went by the name "Hackitt."" : "He was the one who said: "When building a world, you need clinical objectivity to reinforce it where needed."" Berry: "Wait, does that mean Hackitt is..." : "Right. I consider myself a student of his." Berry: "And he made the Phantom Zero game?" Doron: "That's correct." Doron: "I remember everything now, thanks to your collective efforts." Berry: "I see. So he designed that old folks' home, too." Berry: "Which is why you knew how it was laid out, Doron." : "And the greatest game he ever created was Phantom Zero Nation." Hank: "Huh. Pretty cool. But that means this has nothing to do with the real Phantom Zero." Berry: "So if you remember everything now, where is Hackitt... I mean, Mr. Kearney?" Berry: "He's not..." Doron: "Sadly, he is." Doron: "But I was able to restore my most precious memories. And he did not abandon me." Berry: "I see!" Doron: "Yes." Doron: "Detective Club, you have my thanks." Smiley: "Yeah, it looks like you're about done here." Smiley: "Which means there's no Love to go around, is there?" Doron: "Miss Smiley. Miss Berry." Doron: "I have one last thing to ask of you." Smiley: "Grandma?" Hank: "Hey. Guess it was a wild goose chase, huh?" : "I wouldn't be so sure. Right, Watson?" : "I examined the mask Hack stole in the Hyperverse." : "The death of legendary designer, Kearney, AKA Hackitt, seems rather suspicious." Hank: "This is a Center surveillance record. You think they got rid of him?" : "He knew something." Hank: "For real?" : "There's a chance that his drone coming to us was his way of delivering a dying message." Hank: "C'mon, man, you sound paranoid." Hank: "Finn?" : "The name "Hackitt" sounds like "hack it" for a reason." Hank: "Sure, but what's your point?"

Hank: "Look out, look out, baby." Hank: "That fell from the sky, right?" Hank: "Maybe a pair of peacocks hit it off up in the clouds." Hack: "Bored." Berry: "Wish we had a case..." Eptitle Sign: "The Inhuman Cart The Inhuman Cart The Inhuman Cart" Hack: "Mister Kitty-cat!" Berry: "What's he doing?" Old Timer 1: "I'm telling you, the mystery cart sells tonkotsu ramen." Old Timer 2: "Well, I heard it sold soy sauce flavor." Berry: "What're you talking about?" Old Timer 1: "Missy, you haven't heard about the mystery cart?" Berry: ""Mystery" cart?" Old Timer 2: "Damn right! It's this mystery ramen cart nobody knows how to find. Even so, rumors of it have spread like wildfire and it's now legendary." Berry: "Why does everyone think it's so good if they can't find it and haven't eaten there?" Old Timer 1: "Well, some folks have eaten there before." Old Timer 1: "A friend of a friend of mine managed to get some of that ramen. He said the way the rich tonkotsu broth mixed with the thin noodles made it the best bowl he'd ever had." Old Timer 2: "Nah, see, my friend said it was thick, super silky noodles served with juicy roast pork in a glorious soy-based clear soup that gets its supreme flavor from the dried sardines used as stock." Hack: "I heard it was Blue Hawaii ramen." Old Timers 1 & 2: "There's no way!" Berry: "You know about it, Hack?" Hack: "Just a rumor from long, long ago, from somewhere around here." Berry: "And what're you doing, Watson?" Berry: "Huh? Hey, where are you going?" Hack: "Let's bail and follow Kitty-cat!" Berry: "Ah, wait up!" Townsperson 1: "The ramen cart from the rumors? Of course I've heard of it." Townsperson 1: "My friend's grandpa says he wants to eat there again before he dies." Townsperson 2: "Yeah, I've heard of it. They serve Blue Hawaii ramen there, right?" Townsperson 3: "A mystery cart? You mean the killer ramen place? A friend of a friend of mine ate there, and had a fever for three days after. Thought they were gonna die. Said something about the owner being an AI who hates humans and wants to wipe us all out with ramen. Nuts or what?" Berry: "Are you investigating the ramen cart rumors?"

Hank: "I've heard about this legendary ramen myself." Smiley: "Me too. But it's probably just rumors, right?" Berry: "How did you find out about it, Watson?" : "He apparently collects rumors." : "Isn't that right?" Berry: "Oh, here."

Hank: "Most of the time, rumors are here today, gone tomorrow. But people have been talking about this ramen cart since I was a kid." Hank: "Watson's probably interested 'cause this rumor's survived longer than most." Berry: ""I also want to eat some ramen."" Berry: "I get ya. Who wouldn't want to eat ramen that's the cause of so many rumors? Whaddaya say to the Yurei Detective Club hunting down this mystery ramen cart?" Berry: "You're not interested in ramen that's so good, it fuels a mystery?" Hack: "Rumors are just rumors." Hack: "Until I see it with this right here, it ain't real." Smiley: "I'll pass, too.

I don't mind, but..." end 2: "Look, I wasn't the one who actually went there. I just heard about it from a friend. You wanna talk to her?" end 3: "I heard about it from a friend, too." end 4: "I mean, I only heard about it from a friend of a friend." end 4: "Hm? You wanna talk to them?" end 4: "I don't really remember..." end 4: "Gimme a sec. I might still have the message." Berry: "Excuse me."

What district is that? Where can I find it?" Gramps: "The heavens." Berry: "Diary, all I've learned is things people hear from a friend of a friend are 100% untrue." Berry: "How'd it go?" Berry: "What is it?" Hack: "Upchuck!" Berry: "A map?" Hack: "Kitty barf!" Hack: "More barf?" Berry: "So you went to a hospital waiting room that's a hub for rumors, and after listening to rumors there all day, you found someone who got injured while looking for the mystery cart, and got him to draw you a map?" Berry: "That's awesome! Okay, let's-a go find this mystery cart!" Berry: "Why are you tagging along, Hack? I thought you didn't believe in rumors." Hack: "Wanna see Kitty-cat do more new stuff!"

Ai Owner: "Yes." Berry/Hack: "All right!" Ai Owner: "Welcome." Berry: "The rumors were true after all." Hack: "Ramen, ramen, ramen!" Ai Owner: "What led you all to believe the rumors and come this far?" Berry: "We wanted some ramen!" Ai Owner: "Is that really all? Did you believe the rumor and come this far solely due to hunger? That was your only reason for believing the rumor and braving the harsh path here?" Hack: "Ramen, ramen, ramen!" Berry: "Ah, three bowls of ramen, please." Ai Owner: "Coming up!" Berry: "Are you an AI?" Ai Owner: "Yes." Berry: "What is this place? We tried looking it up, but the map wasn't working..." Ai Owner: "This place isn't listed on the map." Ai Owner: "Because I built it." Berry: "You built this place?" Berry: "What do you mean? You can do that?" Ai Owner: "I was originally an engineering AI involved in urban development." Ai Owner: "Constructing a place like this is easier for me than making delicious ramen." Ai Owner: "Here you are." Berry: "Thanks for the food!" Berry: "It's great! The soy sauce flavor rumors were true. There were others about tonkotsu ramen and miso flavor, but..." Berry: "There was no concrete info about this place. How is it there's no mention of it anywhere online?" Ai Owner: "Because I am thorough in removing it." Ai Owner: "I delete any reference to this place the moment it goes online. Including this conversation we are having right now." Berry: "Seriously?" Ai Owner: "Seriously." Berry: "But why?" Ai Owner: "I am investigating the systems by which humans believe in rumors." Berry: "The systems for believing in rumors?" Ai Owner: "Rumors are neither fact nor fiction. They are simply rumors. But the people who find their way here are often upset or disappointed that the ramen isn't what they believed it was. What is it that leads them to have such faith in these ephemeral rumors? I am fascinated by the systems that lead them to think in this way." Hack: "More!" Ai Owner: "Coming up!" Berry: "Why would you look into that?" Ai Owner: "Humans sometimes believe things they can rationally tell are completely untrue. I have studied humans for many years now, yet I remain unable to fully answer the question of why they believe in rumors." Berry: "How long are we talking?" Ai Owner: "It began with the founding of this data-managed city, Tom Sawyer." Berry: "That's super long ago!" Ai Owner: "It is. And in spite of that, I have yet to obtain an answer." Ai Owner: "Why do you believe in rumors?" Berry: "I don't exactly believe in them, but..." Ai Owner: "But?" Berry: "Probably 'cause it's fun?" Ai Owner: "Fun?" Berry: "Watson collects rumors, and he does it because it's fun. Right?" Ai: "It's... fun?" Berry: "Doesn't make sense, right? I thought the same at first, but..." Berry: "I started having fun while we were looking for this cart. "Is it real? If it is, what kind of ramen does it serve?" Imagining that kinda stuff was fun, y'know?" Berry: "Oh, by the way, my name's Berry. This is Hack and Watson. We're detectives with the Yurei Detective Club. What's your name?" Ai Owner: "Why? I've never had a human give away so much personal information before, much less ask me for my own." Berry: "Seriously?" Ai Owner: "Seriously. So why?" Berry: "Well, the ramen's yummy, so I'd like to come again. And I'd like to see you again." Ai Owner: "Me?" Ai Owner: "But why?" Berry: "Because this has been fun!" Hack: "More!" Berry: "Me too!" Ai Owner: "Coming up!" Ai Owner: "My name is Analytica." Berry: "Well, Analytica, what was it like being an urban development AI?" Ai Owner: "I created Mark Twain." Berry: ""Mark Twain"?" Hack: "It's glitchy-witchy!" Berry: "The Zero Phenomenon?!" Berry: "We're in the Hyperverse!" Hack: "Get out here, glitchy-witchy!" Berry: "Shoot." Hack: "Here it comes!" Berry: "But..." Berry: "Analytica!" Hack: "Sorti-exit!" Berry: "Right. We need to find the exit." Hack: "Where's it at?" Berry: "How do we get outta here?" Berry: "Phantom Zero!" Hack: "You wanna play? Well, I want more of your glitchy-witchy data. Giga! Tera! Peta! Exa! Zetta! Yotta—" Berry: "We need to run!" Berry: "Down here?" Berry: "What about you, Watson?" Hack: "Kitty-cat's doing more new stuff!" Berry: "He really is like a cat!" Berry: "We'd better find the exit." Hack: "Hey, glitchy-witchy! Zoom!" Berry: "Seriously impressive." Hack: "Zoom, zoom!" Hack: "More glitchy-witchy data for me." Berry: "Aw, shoot." Hack: "Kitty-cat!" Hack: "Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Berry: "Jeez! Hack, can't you find the exit like last time?" Berry: "How do we get outta here?!" Ai Owner: "Coming up..." Ai Owner: "Exit..." Ai Owner: "The exit... is here... Unlocking... now." Berry: "How'd you do that?" Ai Owner: "I am Analytica, an engineering AI created to build Mark Twain. I... built it... all..." Berry: "Analytica!" Ai Owner: "Order up..." Hack: "Zoom!" Berry: "Hack." Hack: "Glitchy-witchy!" Hack: "Gimme my data!" Hack: "Glitchy-witchy, you data thief!" Berry: "What was that just now?" Berry: "Ow. Diary, the mystery cart really did exist, but now that it's gone, I guess it really is nothing more than a rumor." Hank: "Say what?" Hank: "So you really did find the mystery cart?" Berry: "It was really good!" Berry/Hack: "Right?!" Smiley: "And you ran into the Zero Phenomenon, too? Unbelievable." Hack: "Glitchy-witchy snatched my data!" : "Your data?" Hack: "Stinkin' data thief!" Hank: "So this cart that wasn't on any map is gone now?" Berry: "Yeah, there's nothing left." Madam: "What kind of AI was the owner?" Hack: "Anaconda." Berry: "It was Analytica." Berry: "He said he was an engineering AI made to build a Mark something..." Berry: "Mark Twain, maybe?" Hack: "That glitchy-witchy's got me double ragin'! Next time, I'm gonna get double revenge!" Berry: "At least we got to eat some ramen. And it was the best I've ever had." Berry/Hack: "Right?!" Smiley: "Okay, that's super annoying, so stop." Diary Headline: "The mystery cart really did exist!" Berry: "What I learned from looking for the mystery cart is the ramen was made by a mysterious AI named Analytica, and Watson's got a lot more going on than meets the eye."

Berry: "Ow." Berry: "Even sleeping, Hack's a total handful." Berry: "Is someone in the office?" Berry: "Finn?" Berry: "What's he doing at this hour?" Berry: "He looks super serious." Berry: "Probably shouldn't bother him." : "Mark Twain..." Hank: "The sea." Hank: "My sea." Berry: "Good morning, diary!" Eptitle Sign: "Reach For The Heavens! Reach For The Heavens! Reach For The Heavens!" Berry: "The ocean's really something." Berry: "The "River Queen," huh?" Hank: "Nah, it's not that one. It's this one." Hank: "The scourge of the seven seas: the SS McDougal!" Berry: "Oh, uh... It's cute." Hank: "Ain't she though? She's my baby." Berry: "The first part of Hank's job is collecting junk." Berry: "Sometimes, he dredges up stuff from the sea floor, and sells it in his store." Hank: "That oughta do it. Thanks for the help, Berry." Berry: "No sweat! You should take me on your next salvage job, too." Hank: "Sounds good!" Hank: "Hey! Pudd'nhead!" Hank: "That son of a..." Hank: "Wil!" Will: "Oh crap, it's Hank!" Berry: "Who's this?" Hank: "This is Wilson, the gambling fool everybody calls Pudd'nhead." Will: "See ya!" Hank: "C'mon, Wil. How about you hand over the Love you owe me first?" Wilson: "I don't have enough right now. I do have a hot tip, though. Will you let me off with that instead?" Berry: "Is it treasure that's sunk to the bottom of the sea?" Wilson: "Uh, not the sea, no..." Wilson: "Try the sky. The Customer Center told everyone around these parts that this area's gonna be off-limits the day after tomorrow. Which means they're coming down from their tower and getting up to something." Berry: "Sounds Love-y! I wonder what it is." Wilson: "Turns out, there's gonna be treasure flying down from the sky. Now, according to what I heard, it's gonna be an ancient model of satellite that's past its service lifetime." Berry: "Love-y! But what's a satellite?" Hank: "It's like a star made out of junk." Wilson: "I've got a good idea where it's gonna crash down, too. So if you manage to get your hands on it..." Hank: "It could be worth a lot, yeah." Wilson: "How about it? Just between the three of us." Hank: "It's a hot tip all right." Berry: "Treasure falling from the sky..." : "How are things going, "Hackitt"?" Hack: "This place is giga-nasty." Hack: "Thrills and chills!" Hack: "Looking like this, though... It's a raggy-drag." : "Deal with it. Thanks to Madam... ...we now know about Kearney's alt account." : "By logging in as Hackitt, you can trick the system." : "Kearney's disappearance is linked to Phantom Zero and the Zero Phenomenon." : "The same phenomenon that erased the AI you encountered, Analytica." : "I believe Kearney, the designer behind the Phantom Zero Nation game..." : "...was investigating the same mystery we are." Smiley: "Wow, glitzy. Bet ya could make a ton of Love from it." : "The Zero Phenomenon, Phantom Zero," : "and an AI who built the foundation of the system that administers this city..." Hack: "Open sesame!" : "It's all connected. And when we get close enough, they'll appear..." Hack: "Gulp! Glitchy-witchy?!" Hack: "Huh? Frozen? Don't spook me!" : "It's a reproduction created from stored data." : "This is the same Phantom Zero you and Berry saw during the phenomenon, correct?" Hack: "Yeah, man! The glitchy-witchy!" Smiley: "Looks paranormal." : "So Kearney did encounter Phantom Zero before he disappeared." : "Analytica and Kearney... They both got too close to the truth, then vanished." : "No, they were disposed of." Smiley: "Okay, that's freaky." : "But if we can figure out who's behind this, we'll find a way to Mark Twain." : "Take all the hidden data you can." Hack: "I. Love. Ai!" Hack: "Huh?" Hack: "It's copy-protected." : "Impressive, Kearney. But there should be a way to disable the protection. Find it." Hack: "Understood!" Smiley: "Hey, Finn, I happen to know someone else who knew Kearney..." : "What?" Smiley: "All it'll cost you is some Love." Madam: "You can't rely solely on what you can see." Madam: "Especially when your imagination seems to be misaligned." : "I'm not sure I follow." Madam: "You'll have to do the rest of the searching yourself. Good day." Hack: "Huh? Weird." Hack: "This one's fine." : "A mirror with no reflection? I see." : "Okay, take a closer look." Hack: "All right! Nailed it!" : "The room inside the mirror is where the data's actually stored." Hack: "Mine now!" Smiley: "What's with the card?" : "An ID card that allows access to the Angel Fish Club, a special search engine." Smiley: "So it's, like, a members-only deal?" : "Right. And with access, we can find things the Customer Center would rather keep hidden." Hank: "Got something you can use to test it out." Hack: "What's up, nerdy-birdy?" Berry: "Treasure's gonna fall from the sky." : "No time like the present." : "I've got the results. It seems your fisherman friend was right, Hank." Hank: "A satellite! We're about to get Love-rich quick!" : "That's not all. The satellite has a core with records on a variety of experiments the Customer Center has been running." : "Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! A capsule containing the core will be ejected before the satellite crashes down. The Customer Center has declared this area off-limits so they can collect it. Uh-oh! Which means this capsule likely contains valuable data." Berry: "So it might have stuff about Phantom Zero?" Smiley: "And the Zero Phenomenon?" : "Right." Hack: "So we're gonna go nab it!" Hank: "That works out nice. You guys focus on grabbing the capsule. I'll be satisfied just collecting the scrap." : "Then, let's get to work." Detective Club: "Right!" Berry: "And so, our plan to catch the capsule got underway." Berry: "Gotta figure out where it's coming down, then get there before the Customer Center." : "Hack and I will feed the Customer Center false information beforehand." Hack: "Send 'em on a loosey-goose chase." Berry: "We're counting on you." Hack: "Gonna be a cinch." Berry: "What're you making?" Hank: "A glove. I mean, this is gonna be the biggest pop fly anyone's ever caught." : "I see." : "A terminal disguised with information camouflage." : "A veritable ticket to heaven." Berry: "Huh? You spending the night in here again?" Berry: "You were here the night before last, too." : "The night before last? Oh, I suppose I was." Berry: "So are you looking up stuff about the capsule?" : "No. It's not important. Different case." Berry: "Oh, okay." Berry: "Finn's acting kinda weird." Hank: "Now this is perfect weather for a ball game!" Berry: "We need to practice if we wanna get the "catch" right." Berry: "Which is why we arranged for some help." Doron: "This certainly looks like fun." Berry: "It's been a while! You been okay, Doron?" Doron: "Yes, and I'm still grateful for everything the Yurei Detective Club did for me." Smiley: "I called him up. Perfect choice for helping us catch crap out of the sky, right?" Doron: "After hearing what we'd be doing, I contacted a few associates of mine." Doron: "Meet my fellow lost drones." Hack: "Beep boop, beep boop." Berry: "Nice to meet you!" Doron: "So how should we begin?" Smiley: "This is a test run for catching a capsule that's gonna be falling out of the sky. So drop this from up high." Doron: "Understood. But how exactly will you be catching something like that? It sounds dangerous." Smiley: "You don't need to worry about that." Berry: "That's a point. Who's gonna actually be catching it?" Smiley: "Here she comes." Madam: "Good afternoon, all." Smiley: "Let's get started." Madam: "Okay!" Doron: "Doron Pass!" Hack: "Incoming!" Berry: "Left a little!" Smiley: "Next!" Smiley: "Next!" Smiley: "Next!" Smiley: "Next!" Madam: "All right..." Madam: "Just call me the "Catcher in the Sky"!" Berry: "Nice catch!" Hack: "You gotcha-got it!" Berry: "High five!" Berry: "Something about all of us working together towards one goal... It's so Love-y, diary!" Smiley: "Let's keep it up! Next!" Madam: "I'm on it!" Berry: "Tomorrow's the big day." Berry: "I was wondering..." Hank: "What's up?" Berry: "I think Finn's hiding something from us." Hank: "Sounds about right. Whole time I've known him, he's never been what you'd call "open."" Hank: "We met at my old shop." Berry: "Come to think of it, why doesn't Finn ever use a Deco?" Hank: "It's not that he doesn't. He can't. He gets Deco-sick." Hank: "Using one does a number on his inner ear and he gets real shaky as a result." Berry: "And he can build such awesome Hyperverse worlds, too..." Hank: "Yeah. He's stuck looking at the worlds he makes from the outside." Berry: "Why's Finn so interested in Phantom Zero and the Zero Phenomenon?" Hank: "Well, he wants to clear your name, of course. Hack's, too. Nah, can't be that." Berry: "Yeah, I don't think so, either." Berry: "Phantom Zero..." Berry: "Hack told me this case had been going on since forever." Berry: "Even the first time we met, Hack was doing a job for Finn..." Hack: "Sleepyhead!" Berry: "...investigating the Zero Phenomenon." Hank: "Play ball!" Berry: "But why?" Hack: "Hey, nerdy-birdy! We're shipping out, too." Berry: "We're all working together on this one. The plan's pretty simple. We're gonna collect the capsule, and Hank's gonna collect the junk. Each boat heads to the estimated coordinates of the splashdowns. Meanwhile, Hack sends the fake info about the expected coordinates that Finn cooked up to the Customer Center." Berry: "Then, once Smiley and I spot the falling capsule, we give Madam the signal." Berry: "Still nothing?" Berry: "There it is!" Hack: "Oh, yeah!" Berry: "More that way!" Smiley: "Go, go!" Madam: "Looks like it's my turn." Madam: "This is nerve-wracking. I haven't felt this tense since my very first secret tryst. I can feel my heart pounding." Smiley: "You gonna be okay?" Madam: "Oh, yes. I haven't felt this young in ages!" Berry: "We're almost there, Hack." Hack: "I got ya, nerdy-birdy!" Madam: "Here it comes." Madam: "Catcher in the Sky!" Hank: "Dammit, Wil, you pudd'nhead. I thought it was "just between us." How many people did you tell?" Hank: "Well? Any sign of the treasure?" Hank: "Was that the capsule?" Berry: "We did it!" Berry: "That was a nice catch!" Madam: "Yeah!" : "Well done. Now, don't get caught." Hack: "Time to make waves!" Berry: "We did it, diary! The plan went without a hitch!" Berry: "The Detective Club has never felt more like a team than right now! It's Love-y!" Hank: "Man, that satellite's nowhere to be seen." : "But we did get the capsule." Hank: "Yeah. So you gonna kiss the sky now?" : "That's the plan." Hack: "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" Hack: "So good!" Berry: "Finn really is a Love-y cook!" Hank: "Again with the cilantro..." Madam: "Having a meal that's overflowing with nature every once in a while is nice." Smiley: "Yeah, it's not bad." Hank: "That satellite never did show up... You all did a great job, though." Berry: "Yeah. It was really exciting." Hack: "Nerdy-birdy was weaky-weak!" Berry: "Well, who wouldn't be nervous?" Madam: "I thought it was a piece of cake." Smiley: "Huh? Didn't you mention nerves? And how it was like a "secret tryst"?" Madam: "Pipe down." : "Everyone. I need to speak with you." Berry: "So how'd it go?" Berry: "Well... we worked hard to obtain the capsule, but..." Hack: "So what's the deal, Finn?" Berry: "What's wrong?" : "I couldn't learn anything from it." Berry: "Why not? We managed to catch it." : "Unfortunately, the data with the records is damaged." Smiley: "Say what?!" Hack: "What the heck?" Hank: "I see." Smiley: "More wasted effort!" Madam: "It is what it is. I think I'll be heading home now." Smiley: "I'll walk you there." Hack: "Crazy waste." Berry: "Hack. Can I borrow you for a sec?" Hack: "Wha—" Hack: "Finn!" : "You guys..." : "How long have you been there?" Hack: "That's the capsule, isn't it?" Hank: "Looks like the data's loadin' fine." Berry: "You said it was broken." Smiley: "What's the big idea?" Berry: "Why'd you lie?" Hack: "Lie? You just messed up, right?!" : "This has nothing to do with you all." Berry: "We're all members of this Detective Club! It has plenty to do with us!" Madam: "Were you examining it on your own with Kearney's card?" Smiley: "Whoa, hang on. That's seriously messed up." Hank: "Man, you knew all along the capsule was comin' down but not the satellite, didn't you?" : "I did." Hank: "I've had about enough of you being secretive." Hack: "What is this, Finn?" Hack: "Why're you keeping all these dumb secrets?!" Berry: "I thought we were a club. Aren't we friends?" : "Friends?" : "We're not friends. We're not anything." : "We're just a bunch of outcasts who have nowhere else to go." Berry: "Outcasts?" Berry: "What are you talking about?! We've done plenty of stuff together! Just 'cause you got what you're after doesn't mean you have to be a jerk!" Berry: "You're making it sound like... from the very beginning..." : "Yes. I was using you. You've been nothing but pawns all along." Hank: "Pawns, huh? Yup, sounds like you. I put together the SOS." Hank: "Watson and the Madam were for intel." Hank: "And Hack and Berry were doing the footwork in the Hyperverse, since you can't use a Deco." : "I've exploited you all in pursuit of my agenda." : "And I don't need you anymore." Hack: "The glitchy-witchy! You just gonna forget about the glitchy-witchy?!" : "The identity of Phantom Zero?" : "That was just part of my pretense for recruiting you." : "I couldn't care less." Hack: "Liar..." : "You've done admirable work."

: "Long ago, in a faraway place, there lived a giant with a hundred eyes. Since the giant could only rest its eyes in turn, it had never slept a wink in its entire life. Because the giant would spend the whole day watching, able to see everything and everywhere, and learning all, the people gave it the responsibility of looking after the world." : "The giant was glad to be of service." : "Under the watchful eye of the giant, the people enjoyed quiet, peaceful lives. One day, the giant witnessed someone doing something treacherous, and informed the people about it. However, after incurring the wrath of not just the traitor but everyone, the giant was killed." : "The people had come to fear this giant who never slept. Existing beyond time, and out of reach, this giant that was able to see everything that happened, no matter where or when, had become an object of fear. But in time, people took pity on the giant, and turned its hundred eyes into the pattern on the feathers of the beautiful peacock. And so, the giant that had never known rest became the feathers of the peacock," : "and was able to sleep at long last." : "The end." Kids: "Finn!" Kids: "Finn!" Eptitle Sign: "Burning Brand Burning Brand Burning Brand" Kids: "Can you fix this Deco?" : "Let me see it." Kids: "The picture's all messed up. I can barely see anything." : "Yeah. Looks like it's a hardware issue." Kids: "Can you fix it?" : "I just need the parts." Kids: "Really?" : "Let's go find them!" Kids: "Yeah!" : "Hey..." Kids: "Yeah?" : "Is it me or is there more trash now?" Kids: "Well, sure. People are always generating new trash." : "Yeah, but it's supposed to get processed at the Waste Management Facility." Kids: "Who cares? Let's find those parts for the Deco. Once it's working, I won't have to look at all this trash." Uncle: "Food's ready, people!" Uncle: "It's gapao rice with extra cilantro today." Grandpa: "Finn? What's wrong?" Sis: "Deco-sickness. He fixed a Deco for one of the kids in the neighborhood." Uncle: "Again? You know you get sick using those things. Keep your face out of them." Cousin: "I'll make sure Finn's food doesn't go to waste!" : "I can eat!" Sis: "Hey! Go wash your hands first!" Grandma: "Ugh, there's that weird smell again." Grandma: "These idiot neighbors of ours keep grilling fish, I swear." Bro: "Hey, I'm back." : "Bro! Welcome back!" Sis: "How was it in town?" Bro: "Slip your Decos on." Cousin: "Oh, hey! You've got five more Love!" Sis: "How'd you manage that?" Bro: "Seems you can win Love at some vending machines in town when you buy a drink. Some idiot didn't realize that and didn't redeem his prize. So I swooped in and scooped up the Love he'd left behind." : "Let me borrow your Deco! I wanna see!" Sis: "You've got Deco-sickness, remember? Do you want to have to lie down again?" Bro: "Oh, yeah. I actually got something for you, Finn." : "What is it? What is it?" Cousin: "Huh? Why only for Finn?" Bro: "You said your Deco-sickness has been really bad lately, right? Turns out, there's a model you can use even if you usually get sick." : "Wow!" Cousin: "No fair! I want one, too!" Bro: "Ta-da!" Cousin: "Good for you, Finn." Bro: "It's not as intense, so you should have less trouble using it." Bro: "You'll even be able to go into the Hyperverse. What do you think?" Bro: "Huh? What's wrong?" : "Just would've been nice if the design was a little... cooler, that's all." Bro: "Hey, if you don't want it..." Bro: "I can give it to someone else." : "Ah! I do want it! I do!" : "Thanks!" Bro: "It looks good on you." : "Wow, you really have more Love!" Bro: "Right? All because some dumbass left his behind." Grandpa: "Who's the dumbass in this?!" Grandpa: "Love can't fill an empty stomach. We don't need it down here!" Bro: "This again?" Grandpa: "Let the folks in the city living under the Customer Center's thumb obsess over Love." Grandpa: "We live how we want in these parts because we have real freedom. We can get by just fine without Love." : "Grandpa!" : "You okay?" Grandpa: "Yes... Yes, I'm all right." Bro: "Grandpa, it's not like the old days anymore." Bro: "The system the Customer Center built is the "ultimate in liberalism." Might as well enjoy it! That means Love is approval. Love is value. And who wouldn't wanna show off that their value's increased?" Grandpa: "Grow a cilantro plant to maturity, then take the seeds, plant them, and grow another. Then you'll have more cilantro to eat." Grandpa: "Cilantro you can taste is better than Love you can't see. Right, Finn?" Bro: "Oh, come to think of it! Phantom Zero showed up in the city again!" : "No way! Where?! Awesome!" Cousin: "You really do love Phantom Zero, don't ya, Finn?" : "I mean, he resets everything to zero!" : "It's so cool!" : "Please respond! Please respond!" : "This is Finn! I've found Phantom Zero's secret hideout! I'm going in!" : "Elusive and enigmatic! Phantom Zero is here! I'm gonna reduce all your Love to zero! Zero Beam! Pew pew pew pew pew!" : "Zero Punch! Zero Chop! Zero Chop! Zero Kick!" : "So this is what's inside the waste management building..." : "What's that smell?" : "This stuff's so old, the purification system's stopped working." : "That's it!" : "That's why so much untreated trash is showing up in town." : "Maybe that's why..." Uncle: "Finn! Time to eat!" Uncle: "Finn!" : "I was right." Bro: "What's up, Finn? You still awake?" : "I figured it out, Bro!" : "There's an issue with the purification system, and it's causing pollution!" Aniki: "Check it out, Finn." Aniki: "I got another Love. Pretty sweet, right?" : "Yeah. Anyway, the pollution is causing all kinds of diseases, and I think that's why certain people develop Deco-sickness." Aniki: "Oh, yeah?" : "Yeah! We've gotta get them to fix the purification system." : "Then maybe everyone will start to feel better..." : "I have something to report about the Waste Management Facility." Receptionist: "You are not recognized." : "This is the data I've put together." Receptionist: "Malfunctioning systems in the Waste Management Facility are causing a rise in cases of Deco-sickness and respiratory conditions..." Receptionist: "I am unable to find your identification." Receptionist: "Please enter your ID within the next ten seconds." Receptionist: "If we are unable to verify your login, you will be flagged as an unauthorized user." : "If nothing changes... people won't be able... to live in that part of town anymore." : "Please... fix it quickly." Sis: "I thought you could use it even with Deco-sickness." : "Not for long periods, I guess." Sis: "Come on, sit down." : "Are you okay?" : "They're here!" Crowds: "What's this about?" Investigator A: "We're with the Customer Center's Loss Management Service." Investigator A: "Unauthorized software accessed the Customer Center from this area." Investigator A: "Unregistered devices are illegal. Please surrender any such devices now." : "Wait a second. I was the one who used that program!" : "The purification system for this area is broken. I was trying to report how the resulting pollution was causing Deco-sickness." : "I showed them the data!" Investigator A: "Any data given was unverified and has been deleted as illegitimate information." : "No way. Then, come see inside the building with me!" Investigator A: "The Customer Center assures a safe existence for all." Cousin: "No!" Investigator B: "Got some illicit Love here." Investigator B: "Confiscating now." Aniki: "Hey, cut it out! That's my Love!" eighbor 1: "I dunno..." eighbor 2: "Seriously?" eighbor 1: "I hear Finn sold us out." eighbor 3: "He made a bogus claim about a busted facility to get the Customer Center here so they could snatch black-market Decos from anyone caught wearin' em." eighbor 4: "Explains a lot. I was wonderin' where his bro was gettin' all that Love lately." eighbor 1: "They're snitchin' on us to the Customer Center and hoggin' the Love for themselves." eighbor 2: "Scumbags." Signs: "Die Traitor Get Out Dumbass Shameless" Grandpa: "We've found a hospital that'll take me." Grandpa: "I'm gonna be staying there..." Grandpa: "Look after yourselves." Grandpa: "Finn." Grandpa: "That's for you." Grandpa: "Take good care of it." : "If they'd just fixed the system, Grandpa could've stayed with us..." Aniki: "Give it a rest already." : "But my Deco-sickness, the landslides of trash, our laundry stinking, and Grandpa's coughing are all down to the purification system being broken! It's true!" : "I wasn't able to explain it to them before because of my Deco-sickness. If I just try again—" Bro: "Give it a damn rest!" Bro: "It doesn't matter what the truth is! Don't you get that?!" Bro: "I've had enough! Why are you making things harder for us?!" : "No one wants to see their family get sick!" Bro: ""Family"?" Bro: "You seriously think we're a family?" Bro: "We're not family. We're not anything!" Bro: "We're just a bunch of outcasts who have nowhere else to go!" eighbors: "Liar!" Bro: "This is all your fault. Get out! Leave this neighborhood now!" : ""The Customer Center assures a safe existence for all," huh?" : "One day, I swear..." Berry: "Finn..." Hank: "Damn. So that's what he went through, huh? Maybe he was after the capsule to figure out the truth behind what was happening in his neighborhood." Berry: "Even so, why would he keep that secret from us?" Smiley: "Is that Finn's account?" Hack: "As if Finn the Fool could keep me out of anythin'." Hank: "Huh? He's been looking up a lot of stuff about this area." Madam: "Perhaps home really is where the heart lies."

What's up?" Kids: "Over here! Sounds good! Where we goin'? I found something good! What is it? Hang on, I'm coming." Smiley: "You're sure this is the place?" Hank: "He's got nowhere else to go. Finn's bound to have gone back to where he grew up." Berry: "Let's split up and find him." Hank: "Well? Did ya find him?" Berry: "Nope." Smiley: "Same here. Zero leads." Berry: "You see him?" Berry: "That's..." Hack: "What are you doing?" : "You guys... Why are you all here?" Berry: "They still haven't fixed it?" Berry: "It's even worse than when you were a kid." : "I guess you know everything now." : "It's an invasion of privacy to pry into someone's past." Berry: "Well, you wouldn't tell us anything! Why'd you run off without saying a word?" Berry: "We might be able to help!" : "No, you can't. This is my problem. You're not involved in this." : "Please leave." Hack: "There's plenty we can do that you can't! Ya think we can't?!" Hack: ""Not involved"? Screw that! We ate together, slept under the same roof, and got up together! Ate together! Slept under the same roof! Ate together! Life has "involved" you a lot for a long time now!" Hack: "Your problems involve us big time! And you're involved big time in our problems, too! That's just how it is!" Hack: "You can't bail on us after all that, stupid!" Hack: "Y'know what we are?!" Hack: "We're a bunch of outcasts with nowhere else to go who came together..." Hack: "And became a family!" Hank: "Come on, man. Is there any problem out there we can't solve together?" Berry: "You seriously shouldn't underestimate us." Smiley: "Who do you think you're dealing with?" Madam: "We're the Yurei Detective Club. And we can solve your case, whatever it may be!" Hack: "We'll even give you a family discount, Finn." : "You are so stupid." Hack: ""Elusive and enigmatic! Phantom Zero is here!" He did that when he was by himself.

Berry: "What is it?" : "You all right?" Hack: "Starving..." Berry: "Huh? The system can't be reset?" Hank: "Well, it's technically possible, but... It'll end up resetting all the Love in the downtown area." Berry: "You mean..." Hank: "It means everyone who lives here will have zero Love." Townsperson 5: "What's that meant to mean?" Townsperson 5: "What do you mean we'll have zero Love?" Townsperson 5: "Explain yourself." : "It's what it sounds like." : "Everyone who lives here will end up with zero Love." Townspeople: "What's all this?" Townspeople: "What's he mean?" : "We're here to repair the purification system for this town." : "Even as we speak, the trash continues to spread and the pollution gets worse. If nothing's done, it won't be habitable." Townspeople: "What a load of crap!" : "If you need proof, look at how many more people get Deco-sick now than in the past. If we reset the system, you'll lose your Love, but you won't have to worry about the trash." Townsperson 5: "If you wear a Deco, you don't even have to see the trash!" Townspeople: "That's right!" : "Don't you care about losing your homes?" : "You don't need Love to survive." Bro: "You never change." Bro: "Hey, Finn, you trying to take my Love away again?" Townsperson 7: "Finn?" Townspeople: "Isn't Finn... Wait, that Finn?" : "It's for the future of this neighborhood." Bro: "The future, huh?" Bro: "A future without Love is just depressing, man!" Bro: "It doesn't matter how little it is, we want Love!" Bro: "And you're gonna take it all away? You're just like the Zero Phenomenon!" Townsperson 5: "Down with the Zero Phenomenon!" Townspeople: "Down with the Zero Phenomenon! Down with the Zero Phenomenon!" Bro: "If you plan to take our Love away, that makes you Phantom Zero!" Townsperson 6: "Yeah! Phantom Zero!" Townsperson 6: "Phantom Zero!"

Classmate A & B: "Aw, come on!" Classmate A: "We don't mind! You're so sweet, Hime-chan! You're, like, an angel or something!" Hime: "Oh, come on. You're exaggerating." Classmate B: "And so modest! You're not just cute, you've also got a pure heart! A natural angel!" Hime (M): "Of course it's all an act! This whole thing is a façade!" Hime (M): "People have always called me cute, so I've used that to plan out my whole life. I've gone to great pains to polish my appearance and create this perfect façade! All to be loved. All for the sake of my dream! And that dream is:" Hime (M): "To hook a high-society millionaire and marry up into wealth! And to make that happen, I'll keep faking the cutest face I can make!"

Hime (M): "Isn't it beautiful women like this one that hook the rich guys?" Passerby: "Did you see that girl just now? She was super cute!" Hime (M): "Yes, I am loved." Hime (M): "And until this façade scores me a high-society millionaire, I can't slip up!" Hime: "Ow, ow, ow." Hime: "Oh, sorry. Are you okay?" Mai: "I didn't see you, either. Sorry! I was in a rush. But I only fell, so I'm okay." Hime: "Really? That's a relief. I guess I should, uh..." Hime: "I'm so sorry! It was all my fault. Is there anything I can do to help you? If not, then—" Mai: "You're so cute!" Hime: "Huh? Um, I should get going." Mai: "Hey, wait a sec! Ouch! Ow, ow, ow. I think I twisted it when I fell." Mai: "This is bad. I've got to go to work. My friend should be around here somewhere..." Sumika: "Huh? What's this?" Sumika: "Mai-san, what happened to your hand?" Mai: "We bumped into each other and I got hurt, but now she's trying to run away." Hime (M): "Her friend's a gyaru?" Hime: "Aren't you leaving something out? That isn't what happened! And she said she was okay, so..." Hime: "Kabedon?!" Sumika: "Hey, you can't get out of this that easy. That's not how you treat an injured person." Hime (M): "She isn't a gyaru. She's a delinquent!" Mai: "Sumika-san, I think that's enough now." Sumika: "But Mai-san..." Mai: "Why don't we make her fill in for me at work instead?" Sumika: "Oh, yeah!" Sumika: "She does have a cute face!" Hime: "What kind of work?" Mai: "We don't have time. I'll explain at the office." Hime: "What kind of work is it?" Hime: "I-I don't think I'm cut out for it. You haven't even told me what it is yet."

Mai: "Welcome to Café Liebe!" Hime: "Oh, good. It looks legit." Mai: "I'll go get your uniform. What was your name again?" Hime: "I'm Hime Shiraki." Mai: "Right. Hime-chan it is. Wait in the back, okay?" Hime: "This room is pretty big." Mitsuki: "And who might you be?" Hime: "I'm..." Hime: "I'm here to help just for today." Mai: "Hime-chan! Come get changed!" Hime: "Okay!" Mitsuki: "Hime-san, is it?" Mitsuki: "I'm very pleased to meet you." Hime: "It's nice to meet you, too." Hime (M): "Wow, what a pretty onee-san! She seems really kind, like she came straight out of a shojo manga." Mai: "Did you introduce yourself to Ayanokouji-san?" Mai: "Mitsuki Ayanokouji is a kind senpai." Hime: "She seems like a lovely person. She was dressed like a girl at a private school in a manga." Mai: "Yeah! That's the Café Liebe Girls Academy school uniform!" Hime: "Liebe Girls Academy?" Mai: "It's a themed café. We serve customers while acting like we're students at a fictional girls' school." Hime (M): "Um, that's not what I expected." Mai: "You'll have to act like you're a real student here, too." Hime (M): "I think this is one of those times I just gotta bail." Hime: "Sorry, but all of a sudden, my stomach—" Mai: "My right hand hurts so much! I need to go to a hospital!" Mai: "Okay, then. I'll explain the backstory, so pay attention, okay? Liebe Girls Academy is a hilltop mission school. You've just started your first year of high school. And your name is... Oh, I know! Hime Shirasagi!" Mai: "Sparkle and dazzle them, okay? Just like in a shojo manga." Hime: "A shojo manga? What are you talking about? What do you mean?!" Mitsuki: "Tachibana-sama? Tachibana-sama? Are you lost in your books again? Dear, oh dear. You must attend to the guests as well." Sumika: "That's something the school decided." Mitsuki: "But we are responsible for the salon." Sumika: "That's all you ever talk about. Why won't you simply leave me be?" Mitsuki: "I simply wish you would behave like a responsible senior." Sumika: "You needn't trouble yourself with me. Unless..." Sumika: "Is there another reason you're so concerned about me?" Mitsuki: "What could you possibly mean?" Sumika: "Perhaps you should ask your heart that question." Customers: "Ooh!" Hime (M): "This is like a shojo manga." Mitsuki: "Tachibana-sama, if you continue to neglect your duties, I may be scolded as well." Hime (M): "Nobody talks like that outside of shojo manga!" Sumika: "On a day as splendid as this, my only desire is to stroll in the forest behind campus." Hime (M): "It's all urbanized out there!" Sumika: "But I suppose I have no choice. I mustn't make my darling kohai do all the work." Hime (M): "Yeah, get to work! You're an employee! They're fully in character and the customers are totally into it." Sumika: "Now where do you think you're going? Shouldn't you be tending to the customers as well, my darling kohai?" Hime (M): "She trapped me. She trapped me in her dazzling aura." Hime (M): "Who is this girl, anyway?" Sumika: "You can't get out of this that easy." Hime (M): "It's the gyaru from before! But the kabedon feels so different!" Mitsuki: "Tachibana-sama!" Mitsuki: "It isn't nice to toy with others' feelings." Sumika: "Oh, my." Sumika: "I wonder... Does that mean you're jealous?" Mitsuki: "H-How could you suggest such a thing?" Hime (M): "I can't. I just don't get it." emale Customer A: "Um, I don't think I've seen you here before. What's your name?" Hime: "Shira... Hime Shirasagi." emale Customer B: "Shirasagi-san, you're so cute!" Hime (M): "You're telling me!" emale Customer A: "Please don't go! We'd love to talk to you!" Hime (M): "But like... I'm acting cute to score a rich husband, not to show off in an embarrassing costume at some weird café." Sumika: "Today seems to be another lovely day." Mitsuki: "Well then, please take care." ene: "Oh? Are you a new employee?" Hime: "No, not exactly." ene: "Huh. Well, doesn't matter." ene: "This is for table ten." ene: "Can you handle it?" Hime: "Yes!" Male Customer A: "You're a first-year student?" Hime: "Yes, I am." Male Customer A: "You gonna do a self-introduction?" Hime: "What? I'm too embarrassed!" Hime (M): "Is this enough? I just need to get through today." Mitsuki: "Are you okay?" Hime: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "I know it's difficult, but can you put in a little more effort?" Male Customer B: "She's cute, but the shyness is a little much." Male Customer A: "Of course she's embarrassed if she's new. She makes it too obvious that she's acting, though." Hime (M): "Damn it, they're totally missing the point. Acting shy is part of the façade, like everything else!" Mitsuki: "I'm sure she's just feeling nervous." Hime (M): "Oh no! Now that onee-san is worried about me, too! They said to sparkle, right?" Hime (M): "I'll show you "sparkle"!" Hime: "Please allow me to introduce myself." Hime (M): "My façade... at full power!" Hime: "My name is Hime Shirasagi, a first-year student." Hime: "Everyone, I'm very pleased to meet you." Mitsuki: "Very well done! That's good enough, Hime-san." Customer: "She's so innocent! Just like a real first-year! What is your relationship with Ayanokouji-san?" Male Customer A: "Ayanokouji-san is a kind senpai, isn't she?" Hime: "Huh? Yes. She really is. My very kind onee-sama." Mitsuki: "Yes. Thank you." Hime: "Huh? Huh?" Sumika: "Well, take care, then." Customer: "Today was a lot of fun." Sumika: "Good day to you." Customer: "We'll come again." Mitsuki: "Good day to you." Hime: "Good day to you!" Sumika: "Nice job! I wasn't sure what to expect, but you pulled it off! What a relief!" Hime: "Thank you very much, Tachibana-senpai." Sumika: "Well then, let's clean up and take off." Hime (M): "Right back to being a gyaru again." Hime (M): "But that's it for this weirdo job!" Hime: "Good work today! I couldn't have done it without you, Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "I don't know what the hell you're thinking. You can't just call me "Onee-sama" like that. What a disaster. You might not get it, but we have rules here." Mitsuki: "Don't you dare call me "Onee-sama" so easily!" Hime (M): "She's acting totally different now! What happened to the "kind senpai"? Wait... If this person is playing a character just like the gyaru is, and she changes back to normal after work..." Hime (M): "That must mean..." Hime (M): "This is what she's really like?! Aw, man. What a bummer." Mai: "I'm back! Good work, everyone!" Sumika: "Welcome back, Mai-san. You sure are late." Mai: "Sorry about that. It took a while at the hospital." Mitsuki: "Are you all right, manager?" Hime: ""Manager"?! Oh, um, I didn't realize you were the manager! How's your injured hand?" Mai: "No need to be so formal." Mai: "We're going to have plenty of time to hang out, after all." Hime: "Huh?" Mai: "It might take a while, but you'll take my place until this heals up." Mai: "So once again, welcome to Liebe Girls Academy!" Kanoko: "You got a part-time job, Hime-chan?" Hime: "So I won't be at club stuff for a while." Kanoko: "But why? You said you'd never take a part-time job. What kind of job is it?" Hime: "It's at a café." Kanoko: "But why would you..." Hime: "I didn't have a choice. Something happened and I couldn't say no. Though it was my fault, too." Kanoko: "Are you keeping something from me?" Hime: "I'd never hide anything from you, Kanoko." Kanoko: "Did somebody trick you into it? Is it respectable work?" Hime: "It's fine. It is!" Hime: "It's a job. An honest job..." Hime (M): "Sure doesn't feel honest, though." Kanoko: "Is everything okay? Hime-chan, are you okay?!" Hime: "I'm okay, really! The work is just kinda hard to describe." Kanoko: "I know you're good at putting on a façade, but you're pretty impulsive otherwise." Kanoko: "Wait! I mean, you're impulsive but you put on a good façade!" Hime: "That's the same thing." Kanoko: "So when you say it's hard to describe, that makes me worry even more." Hime (M): "I'm sorry, Kanoko." Hime (M): "But it really is hard to describe." Hime (M): "I don't even get it myself." Mai; Sumika; Mitsuki: "Good day to you! Welcome to Liebe Girls Academy!" Hime: "Good morning." Mai: "Oh, it's just Hime-chan. You should use the employee entrance. Ask Sumika-san where it is, okay?" Sumika: "Also, we say "good day to you" to greet people here. Try it." Hime: "Um, good day to you, Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "I told you not to call me Onee-sama!" Hime (M): "I still have no clue what's triggering her." Mai: "Now I get it." Mai: "You called Mitsuki-san "Onee-sama" in front of the school guests, didn't you?" Hime: "Uh, yes." Mai: "No problem. We can fix that. You look great together, so I'll give you these... and you can become Schwestern!" Text: "A Maiden's Heart" Mai: "It's a word from the novel A Maiden's Heart. The book's beautiful depiction of a girls' academy was the inspiration for the theme here at Liebe. The word "Schwester" means sister. It's used when an upperclassman and underclassman" Text: "A Maiden's Heart Vol. 1\h\h\h\h by Megumi Yadorigi\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h" Mai: "make an oath to form a special, sister-like bond. By exchanging matching Kreuze, they pledge a vow of sisterhood to support each other throughout their school years. As a sign of that bond, they always wear their Kreuze. It's a tradition here at Liebe Girls Academy." Hime (M): "Another backstory that makes, like, zero sense." Mai: ""Your necktie's all crooked." ...says the big sister as she straightens her little sister's outfit." Mai: ""Thank you very much, Onee-sama," replies the little sister. That's the kind of relationship Schwestern have." Hime: "A sisterly pair?" Mitsuki: "But we don't have to go that far. It was one small error..." Mai: "People really picked up on it, though. Listen to what they're saying online. "Today brought us a new member: Hime Shirasagi-san."" Text: "Liebe Girls School Visit Diary Closeted Schwestern?" Mai: ""Her bold first-day self-introduction in the salon was breathtaking!" "Shirasagi-san gushed over her beloved onee-sama, Ayanokouji-senpai." "Neither was wearing Kreuze, but could they be becoming Schwestern?"" Mitsuki: "They've basically already made up their minds." Hime (M): "So that's why she gets mad when I call her "Onee-sama." You're only supposed to use it between sisters. It's a special word." Hime: "In that case, if we become a sisterly pair, that's problem solved, right?" Mai: "That's exactly right. We can't betray their expectations now. But..." Mai: "I really want you two to decide. I'll leave the Kreuze with you until you do." Hime: "I'm okay with it! All we have to do is exchange Kreuze, right?" Mitsuki: "This doesn't feel right. I don't think someone who only joined yesterday is fit to become a Schwester." Mai: "But isn't that even more reason for her onee-sama to watch out for her?" Mitsuki: "We have no idea if she'll behave properly in the salon." Mai: "If she doesn't, a big sister would be the best person to cover for her." Mai: "By the way, why'd you call her "Onee-sama" all of a sudden?" Hime: "Huh? Why? Well, that's... Because when I first met Ayanokouji-san, she looked like a kind big sister to me, so I just..." Mitsuki: "I'm against it! You want me to cover for her every time she makes a mistake?! I refuse to partner with someone who keeps screwing up!" Sumika: "But your Kreuz..." Mitsuki: "You can keep it!" Hime (M): "What? She won't choose me because she thinks I'll screw up?" Hime (M): "I put on this façade..." Girl A: "It's all fake, right?" Girl B: "I don't care. We don't want you around, Hime-chan." Hime (M): "...to make everyone want to choose me!" Sumika: "What's the matter?" Sumika: "You appear to be rather lost in thought today." Mitsuki: "Please excuse me. I must attend to the guests..." Sumika: "That isn't what I meant. I'm simply worried. I can tell something's troubling you." Sumika: "I wonder if someone's caught your eye, and you have feelings for them. But I won't ask you directly." Mitsuki: "I-I don't have my eyes on anyone." Sumika: "Really? But... Remember this: There are some who desire to find themselves reflected in your eyes." Mitsuki: "I'm sure I don't know what you mean." Audience: "Ooh!" Hime: "She's right." Mitsuki: "Shirasagi-san?" Hime: "She even has a kohai who would do anything to get her attention." Hime: "So..." Hime: "Please look my way, Ayanokouji-senpai!" Hime (M): "How cute is that!" Hime (M): "See, Onee-san, I'm the one you should choose." Mitsuki: "You're right. I'm keeping my eye on you to make sure you don't make any mistakes." Mitsuki: "But you should try a little harder to compose yourself, too, Shirasagi-san." Hime: "Huh?" Hime (M): "She turned what I said against me!" emale Customer C: "Ayanokouji-san dodged a bullet there." Male Customer C: "Even though Shirasagi-san is so cute!" Hime: "Do you really think I'm cute?" Male Customer C: "Huh? Well, yeah, of course!" Hime: "That makes me so happy! I wish Ayanokouji-senpai would feel that way, too, though. I work so hard to get her to tell me I'm cute, but instead, she says such awful things." Mitsuki: "You're getting carried away, Shirasagi-san. We mustn't keep our composure in the salon." Sumika (M): "I hate to say it, but you're really pushing it. Try to understand, Hime-chan!" Mitsuki: "Because you're my cute kohai." Hime: "All right." Hime (M): "Your cute kohai, huh? Is that enough?" Hime (M): "But if that's how you feel, why..." Hime: "Why wouldn't you accept my Kreuz?" Sumika (M): "She didn't get it at all!" Male Customer E: "And then she confronts her like this?!" emale Customer D: "So brave for an underclassman!" Customer: "Will you turn her down, Ayanokouji-senpai?" Mitsuki: "Shirasagi-san, I think you may have misunderstood." Hime: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "I have no recollection of receiving or refusing a Kreuz from you." Hime: "Does that mean that... you're okay with this, Senpai? That means you'll choose me, right? I'll be your Schwester..." Male Customer F: "What? Ayanokouji-san?" Male Customer G: "Is kind Ayanokouji-san angry?" emale Customer D: "Wasn't this supposed to happen?" Mitsuki: "Your necktie's all crooked!" Male Customer H: "Congratulations!" Hime (M): "At this new school, the two of us have become what is called Schwestern." Hime: "Thank you very much, Onee-sama!" Mitsuki: "I absolutely despise you." Hime (M): "What?!" Hime (M): "Even after all that, Onee-sama is still a mystery to me."

Kanoko: "The feelings that arose that day, I've kept hidden until now." Kanoko: "Until now, and going forward as well." Sumika: "I thought you wanted me to become Blume. Won't you listen to my wish?" Kanoko: "No, it's fine. I'll find another way to get Hime-chan back. Please stay out of my way." Sumika: "If I become Blume, I plan to make it so that Schwestern can't be cancelled." Sumika: "Those two will be sisters forever." Kanoko: "What's wrong with you?! Why would you go out of your way to—" Sumika: "Because you're trying to break it!" Sumika: "You're the same as how we were in the past. You're trying to bring romance into the salon." Sumika: "Before the two of you and Yano-chan were here, we had two other students. But romance destroyed our relationship." Sumika: "I want you to know, Kanoko-chan, what happened at the salon then..." Mai: "Thank you for waiting! Here is Mai-san's recommended tea, the Lächeln!" Mai'S Customer: "Mai-san, you're as cute as ever!" Saionji: "Here is my recommended tea, the Schneeglöckchen." Sumika: "One was a second-year called Saionji." Sumika: "She, Mai-san, and I were the original cast." Goeido: "Oh no, I'm still very inexperienced." Sumika: "Another third-year joined afterwards, called Goeido. She became popular among the guests immediately. It was impossible to read whatever Goeido was thinking, and she was quick to grasp other people's weaknesses. She was hard to like, but I have to admit she had charm." Goeido: "Saionji-san." Goeido: "Saionji-san." Goeido: "I took this order, but..." Goeido: "What was I supposed to do next?" Saionji: "Oh, in that case, I'll take care of it..." Goeido: "But I can't rely on you all the time. I want to learn. Would you teach me again?" Sumika: "Goeido was approaching Saionji-san romantically, and I could tell Saionji-san was attracted to her." emale Customer A: "What are those two whispering so secretly about?" emale Customer B: "No, don't pry." Sumika: "I shouldn't care. If she's going to teach her, she'll do it back in the dishup." Sumika: "Who cares? It's fine. It's small things like these that we all let slide." Sumika: "That's how Goeido operates." Goeido: "Tachibana-san." Goeido: "You stopped paying attention to me." Sumika: "You're always learning from the second-year, so there's nothing for me to do." Goeido: "If that's how you see it, I suppose there isn't a problem. I was just worried, though, because Saionji-san is always spending time with me, and that it displeases you." Sumika: "Why now?" Sumika: "You need her to learn how to do the work, right? I'm not one to get upset over small things like that." Goeido: "Is that so? Now I feel bad for Saionji-san. If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't like that at all. My own little sister being closer to some other older student instead of me?" Kanoko: "A little sister...?" Sumika: "Ah... yeah. Saionji-san was my "little sister."" Sumika: "We got along fine, too. But our relationship wasn't romantic." Sumika: "I stood no chance against Goeido, who approached her with romantic intent." Male Customer A: "Turmoil?! This is turmoil!" Male Customer B: "Their sisterhood is in jeopardy?!" Saionji: "Here is the Ceylon tea." emale Customer A: "I support you, Tachibana-san!" Saionji: "Please use the sugar pot if you like." emale Customer A: "I'll order your Schwestern Tea!" Goeido: "Don't be afraid, Sumika-chan. I'm only doing this to please the customers. There's nothing to be worried about." Sumika: "What could I do?" Sumika: "That's how she operated." Sumika: "Just stacking up small things like that, until it was impossible to turn back." Sumika: "I think, by that time, they were already lovers." Goeido: "Okay, see you. Good work today." Saionji: "Thank you for today, Yoko-san." Sumika: "The closer they got, the more it ruined our sisterhood." Goeido: "Same to you too, Sumika-chan." Goeido: "We had fun today too, didn't we?" Sumika: "She seems like bad news." Saionji: "You don't understand, Sumika. You've never been in love." Mai: "Good work, guys! I'll close up, so you're all free to go." Saionji: "Mai-san, would it be possible for me to work more on the weekends?" Mai: "Huh?! What about weekdays, then?" Saionji: "I'd like to work less on weekdays." Mai: "Hmm. Yoko-san works the weekends, so we're covered there." Saionji: "I'll try to work on the weekdays too, then." Sumika: "Is love really all that important?" Sumika: "Does it take precedence over everything else?" Mai: "Tachibana-sama! You're not doing any work!" Sumika: "Mai-san, I'm going to leave you alone for a moment." Mai: "Huh?" Mai: "Wait, huh?" Mai: "All of the elder sisters have gone away!" Customers: "Good luck, Mai-san! We support you!" Sumika: "I should have stopped them much earlier. If only I had prevented them from bringing romance into the salon..." Sumika: "What... are you doing?" Goeido: "Oh." Goeido: "It's not nice, interfering with other people's romance." Sumika: "Why are you wearing the Kreuz?!" Saionji: "Sumika!" Saionji: "Sorry, I..." Saionji: "I want to become Schwestern with Yoko-san." Saionji: "Sumika, please take off your Kreuz." Sumika: "The Schwestern relationship between Saionji-san and I was canceled. Goeido became her elder sister instead." Sumika: "Still, I tried to believe she'd be a better elder sister than me." Sumika: "The sisters who were also lovers were extremely close, of course. It's like they were lost in their own world. Liebe, reality, all mixed up. I thought, "So this is what romance is like."" Sumika: "I tried to convince myself that things were fine." Sumika: "But it wasn't." Goeido: "Well, I guess this is goodbye." Goeido: "We had fun, didn't we?" Sumika: "Goeido quit Liebe because of her real job, or something. She threw away Saionji-san and the Schwestern so easily." Sumika: "Saionji-san was the only one who'd been serious about it." Sumika: "After being abandoned like that, Saionji-san couldn't keep working at the salon." Sumika: "So their romance destroyed our relationship." Kanoko: "I don't care. I don't know those people." Sumika: "Our job is to be friendly to each other, as students of Liebe Girls' Academy." Sumika: "I think, to do that, the best way is for us to actually be close to each other." Sumika: "But romance is out of the question. That's what destroys us." Sumika: "Just like how you're trying to destroy us now." Sumika: "So, Kanoko-chan, your romantic feelings towards Hime-chan are..." Kanoko: "No!" Kanoko: "I will never give up on Hime-chan!" Kanoko: "Please just leave us alone! The sisterhood, the Blume, I don't care." Sumika: "As long as you're in love with Hime-chan, you'll want to break up the current relationships at some point. We won't be able to continue as we are, right?" Sumika: "That's how you feel about Hime-chan, right?" Kanoko: "I'll never act on it." Kanoko: "Things are great the way they are now." Kanoko: "Hime-chan won't ever fall in love with anyone. I will always be her friend. That's what I want." Kanoko: "Love confessions or things like that won't ever happen. I just want to stay by her side." Sumika: "What does that even mean? I don't get it. That sounds pointless." Kanoko: "Besides, if you want to ban romance... I'm not the one who you should say that to..." Kanoko: "I'm leaving. We're done talking, right?" Sumika: "So you won't stop?" Kanoko: "There's nothing to stop." Kanoko: "I won't do anything. What more can I stop now?" Mai: "Here is the ballot for the cast members. Please write the name of the person who you believe should be Blume-sama, and cast your vote before the end of the election tomorrow." Mai: "Here you go." Mai: "There." Mai: "Keep in mind that when we reveal the winner, we'll also show who you voted for! Each ballot counts for 90 votes, so take some time to think before you vote." Hime: "Understood!" Kanoko: "Tachibana-san turned out to be someone who interferes." Kanoko: "So I don't care anymore." Kanoko: "I have to win back my place next to Hime-chan." Hime: "Ready?" Kanoko: "The Hime-chan that I knew." Kanoko: "Blume..." Kanoko: "I can't count on Tachibana-san, and Hime-chan dropped out." Kanoko: "What else... Should I aim for it? No way. Why does this Blume election even exist? There's no need to change anything." Hime: "Yes! I'm voting for my onee-sama. Everyone, please support her! If you do, we can be Blume Schwestern!" Mitsuki: "Oh? But that makes it sound as though you're only doing this because you want to become Blume Schwestern." Hime: "I want to achieve that with you! Because I'm your little sister!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan doesn't need to change. She must not change." Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." emale Customer D: "Amamiya-san!" Kanoko: "Um... Yes." emale Customer D: "We're on your side, Amamiya-san!" emale Customer E: "Your words of support the other day were great! Your support of Tachibana-san was so sincere." emale Customer E: "Let's hope Tachibana-san becomes Blume!" Sumika: "Please excuse her." Sumika: "She struggles to speak casually to visitors. I think she's also extra sensitive now, because of the Blume election." Sumika: "I don't think she'll open up to anyone other than us." emale Customer D: "We'll vote for Tachibana-san for sure!" emale Customer E: "It's so wonderful how you two can communicate without words!" Kanoko: "Is everything okay? Do you need help?" Sumika: "Amamiya-san." Sumika: "I'm trying to live up to your expectations. The elections are almost over, so—" Sumika: "You should try to relax a little. You did everything you could." Hime: "Seriously..." Hime: "Kanoko, is something wrong?" Kanoko: "Huh?" Hime: "You've seemed gloomy since the other day. And you suddenly can't talk to Tachibana-san again." Hime: "Did something happen with her?" Kanoko: "No, it's nothing." Kanoko: "I never used to talk to her, and there's no need for me to, right?" Hime: "That's not right, Kanoko. You supported her bid for Blume." Kanoko: "Enough with this Blume stuff. I don't support Tachibana-san, either." Kanoko: "I don't care anymore..." Hime: "Kanoko!" Hime: "You have to learn to talk to people other than me!" Kanoko: "That's not it, Hime-chan. Tachibana-san is trying to interfere with our relationship. So there's no need to talk to her anymore. She's also not "not as bad a person as we thought."" Kanoko: "It was all a misunderstanding." Hime: "What happened with you and Tachibana-san?!" Hime: "You have to tell me, otherwise I can't know!" Kanoko: "Because she... She tries to make me give up on Hime-chan." Kanoko: "I wasn't going to say anything to Hime-chan anyway, but still she... I..." Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "I can't even say this." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, you jerk." Kanoko: "No! No! Sorry, Hime-chan, sorry!" Kanoko: "That's not it! You did nothing wrong!" Kanoko: "That was a mistake..." Hime: "Sorry I tried to force you." Kanoko: "No, I..." Hime: "Kanoko, how about today?" Kanoko: "I'll go home." Hime: "Okay, I'll stay." Hime: "I'm sorry, Kanoko." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan? Kano..." Kanoko: "Please leave me alone. I'm not doing anything!" Bus Announcement: "Thank you for riding with us today." Bus Announcement: "Please press the button if you wish to get off the bus." ene: "What's that look on your face?" Sumika: "Huh? You're here to cheer me up, Nene-san?" ene: "No way." ene: "You take care of the trouble that happens in the salon." Sumika: "So you think it's trouble, Nene-san?" ene: "Hmm? I thought there was something bad going on with you and Amamiya-san." Sumika: "I see, so that's how it comes off." ene: "I just hear stuff when I'm in the kitchen." Sumika: "Is it even a "bad thing"?" Sumika: "I just want to stop her." Sumika: "Stop Kanoko-chan from bringing romance into the salon." Sumika: "This time, I won't fail and let the salon get destroyed." ene: "Romance, huh?" Sumika: "Yeah." Sumika: "I want Kanoko-chan to give up on her love, but she just won't. She says there's nothing to stop, she's not going to confess or anything, and she just wants things to stay the same." Sumika: "When she said that, I just didn't get it anymore. What did I even want to stop?" Sumika: "Kanoko-chan isn't trying to break anything anymore. But still," Sumika: "I want to stop her." ene: "No wonder things look bad." Sumika: "I wish they didn't." ene: "Dream on." Sumika: "I don't know what to do." ene: "I don't either." Sumika: "Nene-san! I still don't understand, even now. Why did you go for Goeido back then, despite my advice? Why did you sacrifice our sisterhood for romance?" Sumika: "It ended up making you cry, it made you quit being "Saionji"..." Sumika: "If I had stopped you properly..." ene: "Don't underestimate me. Sumika, I know you're coming from a place of compassion. But it's unwelcome. At least for me," ene: "when I fall in love, it's my choice." ene: "I don't want people telling me what to do." ene: "Getting dumped and crying is all part of romance." ene: "Same with Amamiya-san, right? If she knows what she's getting into, nobody has a right to stop her." Sumika: "Even if someone's gonna cry, there's nothing I can do?" ene: "Maybe you can channel that unwelcome compassion" ene: "into something other than trying to stop her. Amamiya-san's no longer "someone trying to break things."" ene: "She's now "someone who's going to cry," isn't she?" Sumika: "You're right." Mitsuki: "Everyone. The Blume election period is now over."

Kanoko: "I will always be her friend. That's what I want." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan isn't trying to break anything anymore. But still, I want to stop her." Kanoko: "Love confessions or things like that won't ever happen." Sumika: "There's nothing for me to stop anymore." Sumika: "So what is it that I'm trying to stop...?" Mai: "Have you finished counting?" Mitsuki: "Hime's final week count was 58 votes." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan got 41." Mai: "All right, understood." Mai: "And now, adding up the student votes... Okay! Blume election vote count, complete!" Mai: "Here are the results." Sumika: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "I understand." Sumika: "Are you sure you got the student vote count correct?" Mai: "Of course!" Mai: "I don't think it's surprising at all." Sumika: "I'll let the other two know the results." Mai: "Yes." Mai: "Are you satisfied with the results?" Mitsuki: "Huh?! Um, no, of course I feel I could have done better!" Mai: "I suppose. You won the guest votes, but..." Mai: "There was an upset with the student votes." Kanoko: "Please leave me alone." Hime: "Tachibana-san, are you finished counting the votes? How did it turn out?" Sumika: "Huh? Oh... Um... I'm the Blume! Support me for the next year, okay?" Hime: "Congratulations!" Sumika: "Thanks. I'll make the official announcement tomorrow. I'll reveal the new Blume rule then, too." Hime: "That must mean Yano-san got overtaken. That's too bad." Sumika: "Yeah, you were rooting for Yano-chan." Hime: "Yes! We're sisters, after all. And I voted for her, too." Hime: "But, still..." Hime: "Maybe I should have started supporting her earlier." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, about all this..." Sumika: "Can we talk alone?" Hime: "Kanoko?" Sumika: "I just have a quick question. I won't take up your time at all." Hime: "If that's the case, does it have to be today?" Hime: "Kanoko doesn't seem comfortable." Sumika: "Yeah. You're right." Sumika: "It's actually not a "quick question" at all." Sumika: "I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Kanoko-chan." Sumika: "I have to apologize to you, about the things I said to you the other day." Sumika: "I'm sorry. I want you to forget I even said that." Sumika: "I was wrong to ask you to give up." Sumika: "I just wanted to tell you that." Sumika: "Sorry to make you uncomfortable." Sumika: "See you later, Kanoko-chan. I hope we'll be back on friendly terms tomorrow." Hime: "Tachibana-san, you did something to make her uncomfortable, right?" Hime: "If that's the case, aren't you being a bit too one-sided? Kanoko's been behaving weirdly lately. Why can't you... Um..." Hime: "Could you be a bit more friendly with Kanoko, please?" Sumika: "I see. Hime-chan. Maybe that part of you is..." Sumika: "Yeah, I really want to talk today. You know why we can't do this tomorrow, right?" Hime: "Wait, how does that make sense?!" Sumika: "If you want me to be more friendly with Kanoko-chan, we need to be alone." Hime: "But she isn't comfortable with that. Besides, what did you say to Kanoko? It's almost like you're threatening her!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan!" Kanoko: "Stop, please..." Hime: "Oh..." Sumika: "Sorry, I was being too forceful." Sumika: "Hime-chan, I know you're in the dark about a lot of things here. But that's simply my fault." Sumika: "Please don't blame Kanoko-chan." Hime: "Well, you heard her. What do you want to do, Kanoko?" ene: "Good work today. Can I use the dressing room?" Sumika: "Yano-chan should be alone in there, so you can go ahead, Nene-san." ene: "Thanks." ene: "So the first-years left already." ene: "Oh, by the way, congrats on winning Blume." Sumika: "Getting that reaction with such little effort." Sumika: "Not fair." Kanoko: "Tachibana-san." Kanoko: "About what you said... Are you saying you won't interfere anymore?" Sumika: "Oh, good. You're talking to me again. Have a seat. I'll listen to anything." Kanoko: "Enough already. Please just tell me what it is you want to say." Sumika: "I don't understand what you want to do. Like I told you, I'm going to create a new Blume rule where you can't quit being sisters. So why did you vote for me?" Kanoko: "It's still better than her becoming Blume." Kanoko: "It's wrong for Hime-chan to support her." Sumika: "So, you're okay with my Blume rule?" Kanoko: "I am. If that's what matters to you." Kanoko: "The only thing that matters to me is Hime-chan." Kanoko: "Let's stay out of each other's way." Sumika: "I don't get it. You say she's important, but you won't tell Hime-chan the reason you voted that way, right?" Kanoko: "I'll just tell her I want to support Tachibana-san." Sumika: "Earlier, when Hime-chan was supporting Yano-chan, you were the same. You're always being jealous alone." Sumika: "You want to continue being in love with someone but still hide things from them?" Kanoko: "Now what do you want?! Are you going to end up interfering again?!" Sumika: "Listen. This time it's different. I want to help you." Kanoko: "Help?" Sumika: "During the entire Blume period, I was watching you." Sumika: "I realized just how much you love Hime-chan. You're always looking at her, jealous of the people around her. Every time I tried to stop that love of yours, I ended up making you cry." Sumika: "But you keep saying you won't confess. You want to hide that love from Hime-chan too, and stay friends." Sumika: "Doesn't that mean... You're stopping your own love by yourself? That's what I don't understand. What's making you do that?" Kanoko: "Let me go—" Sumika: "I've been told I don't understand romance," Sumika: "so maybe I'm just way off. But if continuing to hide it is too tough," Sumika: "I want to be the one who lends you an ear." Kanoko: "Tachibana-san... You're too forceful. You're overly familiar, never serious, the typical "gyaru."" Kanoko: "But you found out about Hime-chan... and you accepted that it was romance." Kanoko: "Before you tried to end it, you treated it as a real, existing thing." Kanoko: "So, maybe it's okay with you. Maybe it's okay to tell you about Hime-chan." Sumika: "Tell me." Sumika: "That's what I said from the beginning, right?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "can never love a person." Sumika: "Never love a person?" Kanoko: "I'm Hime-chan's only friend. She'll never make any other friends." Sumika: "It doesn't appear that way. Doesn't she have many friends?" Kanoko: "It's true that she's liked by many people, but she's just pretending to be friendly." Kanoko: "Hime-chan doesn't show true affection to anyone." Kanoko: "It's even more true when it comes to romance. People confess to her all the time, but she turns them down and ends it there." Kanoko: "Hime-chan has no interest in romance." Sumika: "She doesn't seem like she's that cold..." Kanoko: "She never shows her true face. Everyone loves her for what they see, but Hime-chan never loves anyone." Kanoko: "I've watched her quietly distance herself from all the affection she gets from people." Kanoko: "That's how she treats everyone else." Kanoko: "I'm the only person who's special to Hime-chan." Kanoko: "That's why I'll never confess. I'll stay this way, as her friend! Nothing needs to change!" Kanoko: "I don't want to be "everyone else"!" Sumika: "So that's why you want to maintain the status quo?" Kanoko: "Huh?" Kanoko: "I revealed it... Hime-chan's precious secret..." Kanoko: "You won't tell anyone, right?! Nobody can find out! Not even Hime-chan! You said you'll help me, right?!" Sumika: "I won't tell." Sumika: "You can trust me a little more than that." Sumika: "I wasn't going to make her give up anymore, but..." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan's love is too fruitless. If what she said about Hime-chan is true, she gets to stay by her side, but at the cost of hiding and repressing her love forever," Sumika: "and never seeing it come true." ene: "If she knows what she's getting into, nobody has a right to stop her." Kanoko: "Tachibana-san," Kanoko: "you're saying "don't bring romance into this" to the wrong person." Kanoko: "Yano-san is in love with Hime-chan." Sumika: "Huh?" Kanoko: "But it's weird. She won't get turned down by Hime-chan. Hime-chan won't even notice. Hime-chan has been weird ever since she appeared." Sumika: "Yano-chan? But that was all an act..." Mitsuki: "I love you. So that's what you were thinking back then. I'm sorry I made you go through that." Sumika: "How stupid am I?! That's why Kanoko-chan has been so wary Yano-chan... Watching Hime-chan change like that, I'm sure it was difficult for her to stay the same." Sumika: "Soon, one of them would..." Kanoko: "I'd like you to tell Yano-san to not bring romance into this too, but it's too late for that, right?" Kanoko: "I understand that you don't want to damage the relationships in the salon. Since we're both trying to maintain the status quo, let's both refrain from taking any action." Mai: "Phew, good work." Mai: "The Blume period is over for the kitchen." ene: "Mai-san, are you aware of what Sumika and the others are arguing about?" Mai: "Ah. Well, mostly." ene: "I only heard it's romance-related." Mai: "Are you worried?" ene: "Well, she's always driven by concern for others. She never sees what she herself is feeling." Mai: "Hmm." ene: "On top of that, she's trying to meddle in other people's romance." ene: "I hope she doesn't go too far." ene: "I sometimes wonder what she's even trying to achieve." Mai: "Yeah, but that's how it is. I hope Sumika-san herself realizes what it is she wants to do." ene: "Right." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, are you going to stay in love, just the way you were?" Kanoko: "Of course. Why would I give up on Hime-chan? I won't change anything." Sumika: "But still... There has to be some way for me to help you!" Kanoko: "There's nothing more I want from you." Kanoko: "Thank you for today." Kanoko: "Talking to you helped me see better. I'll continue to not say anything to Hime-chan, and no matter how much time passes, that's how things will stay." Sumika: "Are you sure that's what you want?" Kanoko: "Y-Yes..." Kanoko: "Because I'm the one who doesn't want to end this..." Kanoko: "I won't say anything." Hime: "If you don't speak out..." Hime: "If you don't speak out, it's like it never happened." Kanoko: "No. No." Kanoko: "No, I don't want that, Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "What are you doing?" Sumika: "Then don't cry!" Sumika: "Staying silent, holding it in... If doing that makes you cry, then there's no point!" Sumika: "Maybe I can't help you." Sumika: "But I won't let you cry alone!" Sumika: "That's right. I... I want to stop you from crying alone!" Kanoko: "Why you? Not even Hime-chan knows. I can't even say it to Hime-chan! Why are you the only person I can say it to?!" Sumika: "I'm sorry. I'm the only one who knew about your love, and yet..." Sumika: "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you until now." Sumika: "I'm sorry I left you alone." Hime: "And those are the results. Sumika Tachibana-sama has been elected Blume der Liebe!" Hime: "I'd like to invite her to give a speech." Sumika: "Thanks to all of your support, I was able to win the honor of Blume. For that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Sumika: "That said... to be honest, I'm still not excited for the job." Sumika: "However, I gained support from not just our visitors, but my kohai as well. I must take this seriously." Sumika: "I will perform dutifully as Blume for the next year." Sumika: "Mitsuki Ayanokouji-san." Sumika: "You're honest and take your job very seriously." Sumika: "I find it's natural that you got so many votes, and I'm quite proud of you." Sumika: "Hime Shirasagi-san." Sumika: "You're a hard worker with an innocent smile, a bright light in this salon." Sumika: "Kanoko Amamiya-san." Sumika: "You appear quiet and don't assert yourself at all. But I learned that you have a strong, beautiful core inside you." Sumika: "I'd like to continue working at the salon with all of you." Sumika: "If, during that process, one of us were to get hurt... I want us all to support each other through that." Sumika: "There's one thing I want to tell you all." Sumika: "Kanoko Amamiya-san. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to face you." Sumika: "Please don't cry, Kanoko-chan." Sumika: "If this still makes you cry, what can I even do?" Kanoko: "I wasn't supposed to tell..." Kanoko: "I wasn't supposed to say anything about Hime-chan!" Kanoko: "But if I don't say anything, it's like it never happened." Sumika: "You can tell me, since I already know you're in love with Hime-chan." Kanoko: "I'm in love with Hime-chan." Sumika: "I already know. That's not news—" Kanoko: "I love her!" Kanoko: "I said it out loud, for the first time ever..." Sumika: "I know you're in love." Sumika: "If I know, it'll never be like it never happened! I'll be your special person!" Kanoko: "What do you mean?" Sumika: "Please be Schwestern with me." emale Customer A: "Congratulations!" Male Customer A: "Congratulations to you both!" emale Customer B: "I always thought that was going on!" Male Customer B: "You two are wonderful together!" Kanoko: "Please don't interfere." Kanoko: "That's what I'm becoming your sister for." Sumika: "I'm just a big sister you can cry with when you need to, that's all." Sumika: "Come here, Kanoko." Kanoko: "Thank you." Kanoko: "Sumika-san." Kanoko: "Hime-chan?!" Hime: "So things are okay, right? You made up with Tachibana-san, right? I was afraid I was making you tag along with me and keeping you from making your own friends." Hime: "So I'm glad you have a friend now." Sumika: "Let's all get along together as salon workers," Sumika: "so that, over the next year, not one of us goes missing. That is my new rule as Blume." Customers: "We love you! We support you!" Hime: "It's too bad you got second place," Hime: "but I did vote for you, Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "Of course you did." Mitsuki: "You are my..."

Hime: "So you see, Kanoko? It's good to have one of these vests for the summer uniform. It means you can adjust when it's cold, too." Kanoko: "But I don't think that suits me..." Hime: "Don't say that! It will once you get used to it! In order to achieve cuteness, you have to be confident and—" Mai: "Welcome!" Mai: "It's Liebe Girls' Academy's Sommer!" Hime: "Zone... mer?" Mai: ""Sommer" is German for summer. The Blume elections are over, and the trees have shifted from spring to summer colors. The students will change clothes as well!" Mai: "Liebe Girls' Academy's summer uniforms begin today!" Mai: "Also, we're bringing back the students' tea recommendations and the Schwester Tea menu. Let's all work together to make this a great Sommer!" Mai: "Cute, so cute! You're all so very cute!" Hime: "Yikes, this feels like it came out of a manga... Or rather, this feels like cosplay. But, come to think of it..." Hime: "That was true for the other uniform, too." Mai: "Hime-chan and I are petite, so this design choice was a good decision! I was worried it wouldn't fit Sumika-san, but... She looks very cool." Sumika: "I might wanna wear tights, too." Mai: "Kanoko-chan might be the winner here! Her prim and proper look goes well with the jumper dress design!" Sumika: "I agree. Kanoko-chan, you're super cute. Right, Hime-chan?" Hime: "Yeah! You're so cute, Kanoko." Mai: "I'm glad you all look good in this." Mai: "We only had a winter uniform until now." Mai: "I'm so glad we could fulfill my dream of a summer uniform! That just leaves Mitsuki-san—" Mitsuki: "Sorry for the wait." Hime: "Huh?! Her boobs!" Mitsuki: "The summer uniform is very cute. Does it look good on me?" Mai: "Wow... Y-Yes, it fits you quite well, Mitsuki-san..." Sumika: ""Wow" is right, for sure. How about you, though, Yano-chan? You're good with it?" Mitsuki: "Yes, I like it a lot." Sumika: "Is it okay to let her work in the salon like that?" Mai: "I'm not sure... I want to avoid going too sexy, but it's a close call." Hime: "Isn't that too sexy? Yano working with that outfit? No way! It makes her look extra stacked! I mean, how did she grow so fast?!" Hime: "She used to be just a bit taller than me!" Mai: "Mitsuki-san, are you sure you're all right?" Mai: "You don't have to push yourself too hard." Mitsuki: "Well, now that you mention it, it does feel a bit tight." Mai: "Not quite what I meant, but... When you wear it, the summer uniform becomes a bit too sexy, don't you think?" Mai: "If you don't like that, we can adjust the uniform." Mitsuki: "You're right. Perhaps my chest ruins the design a little. But I'm very sorry it's so awful that I shouldn't be wearing it... I am a member of Liebe, after all..." Mai: "No, Mitsuki-san! It looks great on you! You're beautiful! It's just... I'm worried that you might not want to look too sexy in public." Mitsuki: "In that case, there's nothing to worry about. I'm a second-year, so it's not inappropriate, given my character." Mai: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "I'm more concerned about ruining the summer uniform. It's such a cute design." Hime: "Do you have your priorities right?!" Mai: "Let's go with it, then." Hime: "Hold on a second, please! Even if Yano-san's okay with it, what about what other people will think when they see it?!" Mitsuki: "What do you mean, other people?! What about you, then? Do you think this looks bad on me?" Mitsuki: "Say it to my face, then!" Hime: "How can I say it to your face?!" Hime: "I don't think it looks bad, either. I just want you to think about the customers... It's clearly too sexy!" Sumika: "With the elections now over, a new season brings a new uniform." Sumika: "It feels better than I expected, welcoming changes as the Blume." emale Customer A: "Are you happy to be the Blume, Tachibana-sama?" Sumika: "What I'm most happy about isn't being the Blume." Sumika: "This honor was granted to me by everyone else." Sumika: "Of course, it's not the summer uniform, either." Sumika: "It's you, Kanoko." Sumika: "The fact that you've decided to become my sister." Sumika: "It's a new relationship that we built together." Sumika: "That's what makes me most happy." Sumika: "Please, everyone, look at my lovely little sister. Kanoko Amamiya-san, my cute Blume Schwester." Kanoko: "Sumika-san, I'm not going to participate in this type of thing, okay?" Sumika: "It's fine. Just leave it all up to me." Sumika: "I'm your big sister, Kanoko." Hime: "Onee-sama, I'll carry it!" Mitsuki: "What are you talking about? That won't do." Mitsuki: "I'm a salon worker, too!" Mitsuki: "I've been making you do all the work today. Thank you for waiting. Here is the Ceylon tea." emale Customer B: "Th-Thank you." Mitsuki: "I'll take away the empty plates." emale Customer C: "Thank you." Hime: "I knew it... All the customers are staring!" Mitsuki: "Hime?" Hime: "What's wrong, Onee-sama?" Mitsuki: "Um..." Hime: "I'm hiding her! Nobody look at Yano today!" Mitsuki: "Oh, I haven't taken the order from that table..." Hime: "Oh, an order?! I'll take it!" Hime: "I got their order. Please teach me how to copy it down in the dishup." Mitsuki: "Wonderful, Hime. You're taking the initiative to learn. Just one moment. I'll deliver tea to that table..." Hime: "Delivering orders happens to be another thing I wanted to learn today!" Hime: "Delivered." Hime: "Let's stand here and chat today! I want to stand here and spend time with you!" Hime: "Wh-What are you doing, all of a sudden?" Mitsuki: "Oh, nothing. I'm just happy." Hime: "Onee-sama?" Mitsuki: "I'm just very glad to be able to stand here in the salon with you, wearing the same cute uniform." Hime: "Is she just speaking in character?" Hime: "No, Yano really liked the new uniform from the start." Sumika: "Ayanokouji-san." Sumika: "May I speak to you for a moment?" Sumika: "Thanks for hiding her." Hime: "For Yano, it was just a cute uniform." Mitsuki: "I said it's all right!" Mitsuki: "I don't need that!" Sumika: "I'm sorry." Sumika: "Even if you think it's okay, some people will see it as lewd." Mitsuki: "Why do I have to be hide because of that?!" Mitsuki: "Do you feel the same?" Hime: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "Do you think I'm lewd and need to cover up? Was that why you did all that earlier?" Hime: "What else could I do?! I thought it was too sexy, and I didn't want other people to see." Hime: "Onee-sama, let's work together like we always do." Hime: "Onee-sama?" Mitsuki: "You look good in that summer uniform." Mitsuki: "So do Tachibana-sama and Amamiya-san." Mitsuki: "I didn't realize how indecent I looked until it was pointed out to me." Hime: "Indecent? It's not like that..." Mitsuki: "I'm sorry to be such a shameful sister." Hime: "I'm not ashamed!" Hime: "Onee-sama, you're very mature and wonderful! There's no need to be ashamed of that!" Hime: "I have a hard time trying not to stare, but that's not your fault, either! Other people shouldn't be allowed to see! I don't want that!" Hime: "So... please, Onee-sama, don't be ashamed." Hime: "I said, don't show that!" Mitsuki: "Thank you, Hime. I'll be proud, like you said." Hime: "Yano, do you really get it?!" Mitsuki: "Yes, this is cute." Mai: "It was Hime-chan's suggestion. She didn't want you to feel ashamed." Hime: "Hmm?" Mitsuki: "Didn't you just say there's no need for me to be ashamed?" Hime: "I did!" Mitsuki: "But you want me to wear this because it's shameful, right?" Hime: "No!" Mitsuki: "Tell me the truth!" Hime: "Well... That's..." Hime: "The truth is, I want your body!" Hime: "I'm jealous of your body, so there's no shame at all there." Mitsuki: "Jealous...? S—" Mitsuki: "Stop being so misleading!" Hime: "Huh?! What?! What?!" ene: "Here, enjoy." Mai: "This is the students' recommended tea. Please learn the taste well, as it's meant to be your personal recommendation. The type of tea it is, what you like about it, the recommended way to drink it... Those are the types of things you should be able to explain." Hime: "Tastes like tea." ene: "Next, here are the two Schwester Teas." Mai: "This is supposed to be a joint recommendation by the two sisters, so please get your stories straight!" Hime: "Tastes like tea..." Hime: "I really don't get tea, to be honest. I mean, if people enjoy that I'm recommending it, that's great, but..." Mai: "I chose each tea based on each of your characters. How is it?" Mitsuki: "My "Mondrose" has a classy taste, with its apricot and rose scents. I would recommend drinking this straight." Hime: "Huh?!" Mitsuki: "The Schwester Tea, "Abentrose," has a stronger rose scent and petals, which feels like the selling point." Mitsuki: "The tea leaves are grown in the highlands... I see. It has a clean taste." Sumika: "Mine has a wine flavor. The Schwester Tea, the "Blauer Vogel," has cornflower in it." Sumika: "Try it, Kanoko-chan." Kanoko: "I'm still drinking mine." Sumika: "How is it?" Kanoko: "It has a sweet apple scent. I think I can explain this." Sumika: "Apple and green apple, easy to understand. Oh, this goes well with milk." Mai: "What's your opinion, Hime-chan?" Hime: "Tea is so wonderful! I love how everyone can enjoy it together with elegance!" Mai: "That's cute and wonderful and all, but that's your opinion on tea in general. I need you to be more specific. Something that makes your fans want to order it." Hime: "I... I see? Well, I'll work on that!" Mitsuki: "You can't stay ignorant forever, you know! We're working at a café. Explaining the menu is part of the job!" Mai: "Yes! This is work stuff!" Mai: "Thanks to everyone, the café is doing very well recently! The return of tea recommendations and the introduction of summer uniforms are just examples of the many business expansions I have in mind. So! In order to make sure everyone can do the work, I want everyone's "Work Power" to improve! You all are doing well, but..." Mai: "Hime-chan! Hime-chan, I'd like to see you improve your Work Power a bit more! You're still a little unreliable the way you are." Hime: "Well..." Mitsuki: "I told you so. You have so much more to learn!" Hime: "Well, I'd like to think I'm helping, at least a little...?" Mai: "Your achievements can't be ignored, of course, and I'm grateful." Mai: "If we say your popularity is a 10, mine is somewhere between a 6 and a 7." Hime: "Oh, no..." Mai: "In cuteness or elegance, you're better in every way. However. If we say your Work Power is a 10, mine is... 100!" Hime: "Just when I thought the threats were over, you remind me!" Mai: "So please work on raising your Work Power through the recommended teas." Hime: "Okay..." Sumika: "Don't worry, Hime-chan. We'll support you." Kanoko: "I'll help, too." Mitsuki: "You can't just rely on everyone forever, you know." Sumika: "Don't worry. We'll get through this together." Male Customer A: "Excuse me." Male Customer A: "What is this "Ayanokouji's recommended tea"?" Mitsuki: "It's called "Mondrose," meaning "rose of the moon." It has a rich rose and apricot scent, as well as an elegant taste. Please enjoy it straight." Male Customer A: "I'll have one of those." emale Customer D: "Me, too." Mitsuki: "Understood." Kanoko: "Um..." Kanoko: "My "Apfelwald" is a tea for enjoying the scent of apple. To enjoy it best..." Kanoko: "My onee-sama said it goes well with milk." emale Customer E: "I'll have one of those, please!" Shimamoto: "So the students' recommended teas have come back?" Sumika: "Yes. My tea is the same, the "Buchwelt," world of books. A soothing scent, well-suited for a quiet reading session." Sumika: "Of course, a regular customer wouldn't need such an explanation." Shimamoto: "I'll have one. It's been a while." Hime: "My tea, the "Engel," means angel! Please give it a try!" Male Customer B: "What does it taste like?" Hime: "It's quite good!" Male Customer B: "What do you like about it?" Hime: "Huh?" Hime: "Well, that's..." Hime: "I have a hard time expressing it, so could you try it, and teach me how to explain?" Hime: "My onee-sama will scold me if I can't explain it well." emale Customer F: "Tea is my specialty! One Engel, please!" Male Customer B: "I'll help, too!" Hime: "Thank you very much!" Hime: "There it is! Wiggled out of it! My façade can get me through almost anything!" Hime: "That's my own special Work Power!" Male Customer B: "Shirasagi-san." Hime: "Yes." Male Customer B: "I had the Engel." Hime: "How was it?" Male Customer B: "It was delicious! The scent of raspberry was wonderful, so perhaps you could recommend that." Hime: "I guess it's the raspberry, after all." emale Customer F: "Huh? Isn't this strawberry?" Hime: "Huh?" Male Customer B: "This sour taste has to be raspberry." emale Customer F: "No, this scent is definitely strawberry." Hime: "No customer infighting!" Customers: "Shirasagi-san!" Hime: "Yes?!" emale Customer F: "What berry is it?!" Hime: "Um, well, it's.." Hime: "Uh... Um..." Mitsuki: "You're both correct. Raspberry, strawberry, and lemon are all flavors included in Hime's "Engel." It's a sweet, gentle tea, giving us the image of a warm sunny day." Male Customer B: "I see." emale Customer F: "I understand now." Mitsuki: "Hime, do try to refrain from using your tea as a quiz game." Mitsuki: "Come, I'll teach you some tea expressions. Do you get it now? We're serving customers! You can't just rely on them. Go and memorize this, now!" Mitsuki: "There's so much more for you to learn! Work has to be—" Hime: "Thanks... for helping me." Hime: "You learned my tea too, right?" Mitsuki: "That's just my job as the elder sister." Hime: "You said that when you helped me before, too. When I couldn't get the order, you had it all written down. It's been that way ever since we first became sisters." Hime: "You've been watching me and making sure I don't fail." Hime: "If our sisterhood is important to you, that makes me happy." Hime: "Yano, you kind of love me, don't you?" Mitsuki: "Wh-What the..." Mitsuki: "Don't get the wrong idea!" Mitsuki: "I'm just helping you because you're my sister!" Mitsuki: "If you feel like you're always getting helped, just learn the work already!" Hime: "What's with her?!" Hime: "It's always work, work, work! I thought we just got back on good terms! It's not just that we're sisters, but—" Sumika: "It's because we're sisters, after all. We chose this one together. The "Blauer Vogel." It means "blue bird," and it's a tea with notes of fruit and cornflower. The way the flower petals float on the tea" Sumika: "reminds me of how your beautiful hair sways." Kanoko: "Is that really a comment about the tea?" Sumika: "It's important to me, at least." Mitsuki: "Understood." Hime: "Thank you for teaching me about the tea earlier." Mitsuki: "Yes, please learn it well." Hime: "Yes! It's the tea you chose for me, so I have to learn it properly!" Male Customer C: "Ayanokouji-san chose Shirasagi-san's recommended tea?" Hime: "Yes! My Onee-sama always chooses the tea I have." Hime: "I'm not very knowledgeable about tea, so..." Mitsuki: "What, is that supposed to be a boast, Hime?" Mitsuki: "A salon worker being ill-versed in tea is nothing to be proud of." Hime: "You say that, but you're always helping me prepare the tea. You must really love me, right, Onee-sama?" Hime: "The same was true for the Schwester Tea. You told me you picked the tea with me in mind. I was so happy when you told me that!" Mitsuki: "Oh, Hime! Enough already! You're making me blush." Hime: "See? In the salon, Yano is so nice to me." Mitsuki: "I don't love you at all. Don't get the wrong idea." Hime: "And there's the truth." Mitsuki: "I don't love you at all..." Hime: "Salutations!"

Hime: "Now my façade will improve even further!" Hime: "Thanks for coming along today, Kanoko." Kanoko: "Oh, it's fine. As long as I'm with you..." Hime: "You should've bought some too, Kanoko. The make-up here's great for the price. I recommend it!" Kanoko: "I'm not really into that stuff." Hime: "I see. Ah!" Hime: "Sorry, Kanoko! I gotta run to work!" Kanoko: "Huh?" Hime: "I'm off!" Kanoko: "Oh..." Hime: "See you tomorrow!" Kanoko: "Hey! Hime-chan!" Kanoko: "Your job..." Mai: "I need to tell you about an important rule." Mai: "Please don't tell anyone you work here." Hime: "I mean... Of course I wouldn't?" Mai: "Reality is an obstacle when it comes to maintaining the school's atmosphere. If your friends from school came by just to mess around, it would ruin everything, right?" Hime: "Yeah..." Mai: "So please refrain from letting the world know how great this café is." Hime: "Right. Yes, I'll be careful." Mai: "Yes, please take care." Hime: "As if I'd want anyone to find out about this weird workplace anyway." Hime: "Oh, actually, I guess I did tell Kanoko that I got a job, just without the details." Classmate A: "Mamiya-san!" Classmate B: "Mamiya-san, you went to the same middle school as Hime-chan, right?" Classmate B: "I wanted to ask you about how she was back then. Has she always been a total angel?!" Classmate A: "I tried to ask Hime-chan, but she wouldn't tell us, since she's so modest." Classmate B: "Mamiya-san, are you listening?" Classmate A: "Mamiya-san?" Hime: "I was perfectly normal, really." Classmates A & B: "Hime-chan!" Hime: "I was no different back then." Classmate B: "Oh, so you really were an angel!" Classmate A: "Mamiya-san, do you have photos?!" Hime: "I'll bring some myself soon." Classmate A: "That's a promise!" Classmates A & B: "Wow, I can't wait! I know, right? I wanna see!" Hime: "Kanoko, why do you always clam up when you're alone?" Kanoko: "Well... I can't talk! It's too hard!" Hime: "You have to assert your feelings or you'll get pushed around." Kanoko: "I understand that, but... I just get nervous anyway. I can't do it the way you do." Hime: "The way I do?" Kanoko: "Well, I'd never be able to, but... Being like you, being cu—" Kanoko: "Being like you... becoming... cu... cu..." Hime: "Cue?" Kanoko: "I can't." Hime: "Can't what?!" Kanoko: "I can't say it!" Hime: "This is what I mean! You get like this even with me sometimes. If there's something you wanna say, just say it!" Kanoko: "About your new job..." Hime: "Um..." Hime: "Speaking of, I gotta head over there now! I'm off!" Kanoko: "I still couldn't manage to tell Hime-chan she's cute." Kanoko: "She's just too cute. I just can't express my feelings right." Kanoko: "There! Now I feel better." Kanoko: "Why would she hide things from me, I wonder?" Hime: "Good day to you! Welcome to Liebe Girls Academy!" Mitsuki: "Stop, Hime." Mitsuki: "You mustn't grab the trencher with both hands. See? Try to carry it like this." Hime: "Um, like this, Ayanokouji-senpai?" Mitsuki: "Don't you mean "Onee-sama?"" Mitsuki: "Please, don't be so cold toward me. You're my dear little sister, after all." Hime: "Yes, Onee-sama..." Mitsuki: "You better take this seriously, my "little sister"." Mitsuki: "Take care, all right?" Hime: "Of course, Onee-sama... One moment I think she's kind, and then this!" Woman A: "They're such sweet Schwestern!" Woman B: "Yes, truly..." Hime: "She's impossible to read, and this whole Schwester thing is a total mystery! And they're making me act like a cute student in the midst of all this..." Hime: "Well, not that I can't pull it off! Yes! Good day—" Hime: "Why is Kanoko here?!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "Hime-chan?" Hime: "One... One... One moment, please!" Mai: "Your friend from school?" Mai: "I thought I warned you about that." Hime: "I'm sorry." Mai: "No matter! Let's handle this peacefully and elegantly!" Mitsuki; Sumika: "Yes." Hime: "Huh? Um..." Mai: ""Oh, this is the first time I've met you!" "I see! So you have a friend that looks just like me!" Like that. Please treat her like you would a stranger. To maintain our theme, you have to stay as Hime Shirasagi!" Hime: "Y-Yes... Can I really act like I don't know Kanoko?" Kanoko: "So that's the uniform for this café? Like a maid café?" Kanoko: "Is Hime-chan interested in things like this? It's still weird that she didn't tell me, too..." Hime: "Good day to you!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan!" Hime: "I'm Hime Shirasagi, a first-year! How wonderful to make your acquaintance!" Kanoko: "Huh? Make my... acquaintance?" Hime: "My name is Hime, but I'm Hime Shirasagi." Kanoko: "Hime-chan? It's me, Kanoko." Hime: "M-My apologies, but have we met...?" Hime: "Whoa! You're taking it totally the wrong way! Please read the room! It's an act! How do I put it so that she'll understand?!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan's acting like she doesn't know me... She's treating me like a stranger..." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "I will attend to this visitor." Kanoko: "Wait, did she just call Hime-chan by name?" Mitsuki: "Please, leave this to me." Hime: "It's all right. I'll take care of..." Kanoko: "Why do they appear so close? Why is she letting her get so close? Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "Hime-chan?" Sumika: "What an unfortunate girl." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, I—" Sumika: "I beg your pardon." Sumika: "We kindly request that you refrain from addressing our student so casually." Kanoko: "Huh? But this person called her by name!" Sumika: "They have a special relationship, based on a vow of sisterhood." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "No need to be so modest. We're sisters, aren't we?" Hime: "Onee-sama..." Mitsuki: "It's your fault that we're in this mess." Kanoko: "Hime... Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, this is all wrong! What's going on?! Please come back, Hime-chan!" Mitsuki & Sumika: "O-Our sincerest apologies!" Hime: "Sorry, Kanoko!" Mai: "Big fail, everyone!" Sumika: "I'm so sorry. Please, come this way." Mitsuki: "We'll prepare a place for you to freshen up your clothes right away." Mai: "My deepest apologies for what our staff did today. Please use this as a change of clothes." Kanoko: "Um, no, that's not it..." Kanoko: "Please... Don't be mad at Hime-chan. It's all my fault." Kanoko: "Hime-chan did nothing wrong..." Mai: "Hime-chan must be very important to you." Kanoko: "Yes." Mai: "In that case, could you help me with something? It would help Hime-chan a lot, too." Mitsuki: "Like I said, even if it's your fault, I need to apologize with you." Hime: "She's my friend. You can just leave it to me." Mitsuki: "You're the visitor from earlier... Right?" Mai: "This is Kanoko Mamiya-chan. I just had her try it on, but it suits her perfectly, doesn't it?" Sumika: "She's very cute." Mai: "What do you think, Kanoko-chan? Don't you think it looks good on you?" Kanoko: "No, I'm just ashamed of myself!" Mai: "You think she looks nice, right, Hime-chan?" Hime: "Yeah, it looks really good." Hime: "You're cute, Kanoko." Hime: "I'm sorry about the water, and for the work thing, too." Kanoko: "Hime-chan said "cute"?! Hime-chan said I'm cute?!" Hime: "So, um... Hey, are you listening?" Hime: "Kanoko?" Mai: "So, Kanoko-chan, think over what we talked about, okay?" Kanoko: "Yes..." Hime: "Huh?" Hime: "Did she leave already?" Hime: "Why'd Kanoko show up yesterday, anyway?" Hime: "But..." Hime: "I had no idea Kanoko was capable of putting on a cute façade." Hime: "Maybe she can just work at the café like that." Hime: "In fact, maybe I can let her handle this?" Kanoko: "I can't talk! It's too hard!" Hime: "No way." Hime: "I can't throw a friend under the bus, and I can't leave Kanoko alone." Mai: "Okay, then. Glad to have you working with us." Kanoko: "Yes." Hime: "What?!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan!" Hime: "Why?! How did it come to this?!" Mai: "Quiet during an interview, please!" Hime: "Is she forcing you?! What did she say to you?!" Kanoko: "Um, the manager asked me, and..." Mai: "She agreed without a single protest." Hime: "That's just how she is!" Hime: "C'mon! You have to express your real feelings! You can do it, Kanoko!" Kanoko: "Yes..." Kanoko: "Looking forward to working with you!" Hime: "Why?!" Mai: "While you're here, please use the name "Kanoko Amamiya," not Kanoko Mamiya. You'll be a first-year student, like Hime-chan." Kanoko: "Yes!" Mai: "That should cover the theme of this café." Hime: "Why Kanoko, though? Did the manager blackmail her?" Mai: "We both owe Kanoko-chan here, Hime-chan." Hime: "We do?" Mai: "We have so much work to do, and Kanoko-chan is helping us out." Hime: "Oh, right! I'm the one being blackmailed here!" Mai: "Right, then! I'll call in the senpai, since we need them for the next part." Kanoko: "Hime-chan... You're doing your façade thing here too, right?" Hime: "Of course! I want to be someone who's chosen by everybody!" Kanoko: "Right! Good, you're the Hime-chan I know." Hime: "You heard about the idea behind the friendly pairs called Schwestern, right? I was chosen by Ayanokouji-san right away." Kanoko: "Oh?" Hime: "It's all so easy for me, though!" Kanoko: "You aren't friends with her, though." Hime: "What? No, we're a friendly pair..." Kanoko: "That's the fictional setting. In reality, you don't get along with her at all, do you?" Hime: "Huh? Did it look that way to you? I guess she can be pretty harsh on me, but... She's still my gentle Onee-sama... You know?" Mitsuki: "Manager! Like I said, please don't make me cover for her! You know she'll mess up again!" Hime: "More like my harsh Onee-sama, I guess..." Mai: "From here on, your senpai will teach the two of you while doing actual work in the salon!" Hime: "Yes! Wait, including me?" Mai: "Yes, you too, Hime-chan." Mai: "The work I want you to learn today is this! How to take orders." Mitsuki: "Have you decided on your order?" emale Customer C: "Hmm, I was thinking of something warm to drink, what do you have?" Mitsuki: "For tea, we have Assam, Ceylon, and Earl Grey. If you would like a sweet drink, might I suggest a Heiße Schokolade?" emale Customer C: "That sounds great. I'll have that." Mitsuki: "Yes, understood." Mitsuki: "That was the example. Now you try." Hime: "Yes. Understood, Onee-sama! I don't get it at all!" Male Customer A: "Are you a student here?" Hime: "Uh, since the story here is that I'm a student at a girls' school... Yes! My name is Hime Shirasagi!" Male Customer A: "This is my first visit, so I'm not really sure how this works..." Hime: "Check his name on the visitor's pass... Welcome to Liebe Girls Academy, Yamada-sama!" Hime: "Heck yeah, nailed it! Next is... Your ord—" emale Customer A: "She bit her tongue..." Male Customer B: "Right at the start of her sentence, too." emale Customer A: "She couldn't even get out a single phrase..." Customers: "So cute!" Hime: "Ow, I totally bit my tongue!" Mitsuki: "It's all right." Mitsuki: "Hime, just keep trying until you can do it." Hime: "In this case..." Mitsuki: "Got it? Now get back to work." Hime: "Right! I think I'm starting to get it now!" Male Customer A: "Oh, I know what I want now!" Kanoko: "Ah, yes..." Customer A: "Ceylon tea, please." Kanoko: "Yes." Mitsuki: "Oh, you took his order instead of Hime? Thank you, Amamiya-san." Hime: "That's acceptable?! Kanoko barely said anything!" Mitsuki: "Another first-year is out-performing you." Mitsuki: "You've been at the salon longer and should have more experience." Sumika: "Don't worry, Ayanokouji-san. They're both doing well." Mitsuki: "Tachibana-sama! I agree with you on Amamiya-san, but Hime is still completely failing! Please don't coddle her!" Sumika: "Even so... Instead of being so strict, perhaps you should pamper her a bit, lest your little sister run away." Mitsuki: "Don't tease me, please!" Mitsuki: "Hime is my little sister! As her elder sister, my duty is to guide her so that she can grow!" Hime: "Huh? What? Why are they fighting over me?" Kanoko: "Hime... ...chan..." Kanoko: "I'm inexperienced too, so... It's okay, and..." Kanoko: "Let's practice serving together... Okay?" Hime: "Wait, how'd I end up looking like the incompetent one here?!" emale Customer A: "What a beautiful friendship!" emale Customer B: "It's radiant!" Hime: "What? They like it? So we're good?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan?" Hime: "Oh, right. Yes, we'll do our best together!" Kanoko: "Yes!" Hime: "No! I just messed up a little, and it was one time! I can take orders, too!" Hime: "Kanoko doesn't like talking, but still did her best. I can do that, too!" Hime: "Excuse me!" Hime: "Have you decided? I can take your order!" Male Customer D: "You're so cute!" Hime: "Really? Thank you! Hurry up and order, already!" Male Customer D: "Oh, the order. Um, a Thüringer Bratwurst and a Kartoffelsalat." Hime: "Wait, what? Huh?" emale Customer F: "And a Zeller Weiße Katze QbA." Hime: "What is that?!" Male Customer D: "Also, a Nachtisch after the meal." Hime: "Nah... What?" Male Customer E: "Three glasses, and please make the Nachtisch a Sachertorte." Hime: "What language is this?! Um, once again, please—" Male Customer D: "Shirasagi-san! I saw your exchange earlier!" Male Customer E: "With a peer and a senpai cheering you on, everyone must have high hopes for you!" Hime: "Yes! I'll do my best to serve, so please cheer for me, too!" Hime: "I couldn't ask... What should I do? She'll get mad at me again..." emale Customer A: "Is this your first time today?" emale Customer B: "What's your name?" Hime: "Even Kanoko can do it." Hime: "Wait, Kanoko might be able to take orders, but she can't talk to people." Hime: "She can't pull off dazzling customer service..." Kanoko: "M-My name is... Kanoko... Amamiya..." Customers: "Wow! So cu... Cu..." emale Customer A: "Cute! Please stay that way forever!" emale Customer B: "Sorry we rushed you!" Mitsuki: "Hime?" Mitsuki: "Did you get their order?" Mitsuki: "Come with me." Hime: "Ugh, I'm so scared! She's not kind at all! Why is she so harsh with me?!" Mitsuki: "This area is called the "dish up." It's where we communicate with the kitchen." Mitsuki: "Jot down the order, then copy it to this bill and hand it to the kitchen." Hime: "But... I'm sorry... I wasn't able to write down the order at all..." Mitsuki: "I know. I took my own notes, so just use this one." Hime: "You heard the order earlier?" Mitsuki: "Of course I did. Covering up for the little sister's failure is a big sister's job." Hime: "What? So she assumed I was going to fail?" Hime: "After that whole rant about how she doesn't want to cover for me?" Hime: "Thank you for helping me." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, did you get that order earlier?" Kanoko: "Well, that's what I was going to ask, but what are you doing?" Hime: "Huh? It's okay. Onee-sama is helping me." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, you have to be able to do more work yourself." Hime: "Huh?! You're not acting like you were—" Kanoko: "The senpai must be annoyed." Hime: "Th-That's not true, right? Onee-sama, you're helping me because you're nice, right?" Mitsuki: "I already told you!" Mitsuki: "I'm only helping you because you're my little sister! Don't get the wrong idea!" Kanoko: "See, Hime-chan?" Kanoko: "Let's get better so that you can get work done without relying on the senpai." Mitsuki: "Besides, how hard is it to take an order by yourself?!"

Male Customer: "It's awesome." Male Customer: "She's incredibly cute." Hime: "Here's an order!" ene: "Huh? Are you sure this is the right order for Table 6?" Hime: "Is something wrong?" ene: "I just got drink orders from that whole table." Hime: "I'm sorry. It was Table 5, not Table 6." ene: "Table 5, got it." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "Make sure to double-check your notes after you write them down." Hime: "Understood, Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "I taught you the shorthand for the menu items already. When will you learn?!" Hime: "Y-Yes..." Hime: "Why is she always scolding me like that?!" Older Student A: "Please!" Older Student B: "You're the perfect fit for this, Hime-chan!" Hime: "No, I'm not athletic at all..." Hime: "Plus, I'm not joining any clubs, sorry." Older Student A: "Really? You can join on a trial basis, or even just come check us out." Hime: "I've had to turn down other clubs the same way, too." Older Student B: "I see. It would have been really cool to have you join us..." Older Student A: "Guess we have to give up." Hime: "Here! Oh, but..." Hime: "I'm happy that you invited me, Senpai! I'm so sorry I couldn't help, but best of luck with your activities!" Older Student A: "She really was a nice girl." Older Student B: "Let's do our best." Classmate A: "Wow, you're popular!" Classmate B: "Hime-chan, seems like everyone wants you!" Hime: "Huh? That was just an invitation." Classmate B: "Everyone wants to be in the same club as you!" Hime: "I'd be flattered if that were true!" Classmate A: "Having Hime-chan in a club would attract other students, too." Classmate B: "Right?! More people would join just to be near Hime-chan!" Hime: "This! This is how it should be for me!" Hime: "A beautiful girl sought after by everyone! Nobody can walk past me without stealing a glance! That's who I am!" Hime: "And yet..." Hime: "That girl's always nagging and scolding just me..." Hime: "Scolding someone with this perfect façade..." Hime: "What's her problem, anyway?" Mai: "First-years! We're opening soon!" Hime: "Oh, yes! Coming right away!" Hime: "Kanoko? Are you still changing?" Kanoko: "Sorry, I'll be a bit longer... Please go ahead." Hime: "Oh. Well, I'll tell you now." Hime: "Don't worry about anything today. My façade is invincible. I'll prove it!" Kanoko: "S-Sure..." Hime: "Excuse me! Here are your hot towels and water." emale Customer A: "Is that cute girl the new salon attendant, Shirasagi-san?" emale Customer C: "She and Ayanokouji-san are Schwestern now." emale Customer B: "They go so well together!" Male Customer A: "Um..." Male Customer A: "May I order?" Hime: "Yes, one moment!" Hime: "Oh, um, if you could please say your order slowly... I'm still new..." Male Customer A: "No worries! I'll say it slowly and clearly!" Male Customer B: "I'll repeat it as many times as you need!" Hime: "Thank you!" emale Customer C: "We're all rooting for you, Shirasagi-san!" Hime: "Onee-sama!" Mitsuki: "What is it, Hime?" Hime: "Are you watching?" Mitsuki: "I am. Why?" Hime: "Oh, nothing!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, what are you doing?" Hime: "What do you mean? I'm doing my best to serve, of course!" Kanoko: "Yes, of course... Right." Hime: "What do you think, Onee-sama? I'm doing work! This is what you want, right?" Hime: "You can go ahead and coddle me now!" Sumika: "That's wonderful. The first-years are hard workers, and the second-years look after them." Sumika: "Thanks to my wonderful kohai, we third-years can rest easy." Hime: "No need to get involved, Gyaru-senpai!" Mitsuki: "Tachibana-sama! It's nice to be appreciated, but please don't just sit there and read!" Hime: "Look! She changed the subject!" Hime: "Onee-sama! I'll do my best to cover for Tachibana-senpai as well! As your little sister, I mean!" Mitsuki: "Hime, at the salon, you have to act a bit more calm—" Hime: ""Act a bit more calmly and elegantly," right?" Hime: "I haven't forgotten that you told me that." Hime: "But I wanted you to watch me, so..." Hime: "Here!" Hime: "So, Onee-sama! Please applaud me if I do well at work!" Hime: "There! My façade at full-power! Isn't it cute? Isn't it a force of nature?!" Mitsuki: "Goodness, what's gotten into you?" Mitsuki: "You're being rather needy." Mitsuki: "You win. Hime, you're working very hard today." Hime: "Looks like that did the trick." Hime: "See, my cuteness won her over..." Hime: "But she's also quite the force of nature herself. I mean, she's beautiful, after all." Hime: "Now if she would stop scolding me..." Mitsuki: "What were you thinking, acting like that?!" Mitsuki: "When you act up like that in the salon, I worry that you're going to screw up!" Hime: "Um, well..." Mitsuki: "What are you up to now?" Hime: "No, I..." Hime: "I just want to be on good terms with you, Onee-sama." Sumika: "No need to fear. Your Onee-sama's just being shy." Mitsuki: "Sumika-san?!" Sumika: "Hime-chan is a little sister. Attention-seeking's part of the job, right?" Mitsuki: "What? If you go easy on her, she'll mess up again!" Sumika: "Yeah, but she didn't mess up today. You should praise her for that. Or are you really just being shy?" Mitsuki: "No! I... Sumika-san!" Mitsuki: "As a little sister, yes, you did well today!" Mitsuki: "Sumika-san! Listen to me, please!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan." Hime: "Oh, Kanoko. I didn't see you there. You saw all that, right? I finally won her over with my façade—" Kanoko: "Isn't that weird?" Hime: "Huh?" Kanoko: "She's a bad person." Kanoko: "She's always mad at you. Isn't it weird to go out of your way to get her to like you?" Hime: "Hmm? Well... No, those are precisely the people I need to be able to win over, since my goal is to get everyone to love me." Kanoko: "But she's just one person. It's weird. It's not like you." Kanoko: "Sorry. I'll go get changed." Hime: "I mean, come on." Hime: "If she's a bad person..." Girl A: "We all love you, Hime-chan! Right?" Girls B; C & D: "Yes!" Hime: "Thanks! I love you all, too! That's all the more reason." Yano: "She's lying." Girls: "Huh?" Yano: "Hime-chan doesn't really like any of you. She's lying." Hime: "Bad people get in my way." Girl C: "Huh? Yano-san, what are you talking about?" Girl A: "Why would you say something like that now?" Yano: "Hime-chan was hanging out with me the other day. She said it was too annoying to hang out with other people she doesn't even like." Hime: "Bad people shatter my façade." Yano: "Hime-chan is a liar!" Girl A: "It's a lie?" Girl B: "Hime-chan?" Girl B: "Why aren't you denying it?" Girl D: "Aren't we bringing Hime-chan?" Girl A: "Huh? No way." Hime: "Good morning, everyone." Girls: "Yeah, I saw!" Hime: "Morning..." Hime: "I want to go with you all!" Girl A: "But that's a lie, right?" Girl B: "We don't really want to hang out with you anymore." Hime: "Once people find out I'm acting, everyone flips out and leaves." Hime: "That's why I can't let anyone know it's a façade." Hime: "Bad people out me and get in my way." Hime: "That's why I have to be liked by bad people, too." Hime: "I have to be loved by everyone." Hime: "Especially people like her." Hime: "Kanoko wasn't there during my grade-school days." Hime: "Kanoko?" Hime: "Kanoko." Hime: "Kanoko, listen to me." Hime: "Are you angry?" Hime: "C'mon, please understand. Trying to get everyone to like me is business as usual for me, isn't it? I'm just treating her like I treat everyone else! Trying to get her to like me is all part of the act! It's all a lie!" Hime: "Jeez, Kanoko!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan?" Hime: "Huh?" Hime: "Trying to get her to like me is all part of the act! It's all a lie!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, will you be okay?" Hime: "I guess I have to go in." Sumika: "Hey!" Sumika: "Over here! Salutations!" Mai: "Sumika-san, your legs." Sumika: "Sorry, did I look like a scary senpai?" Mai: "Once you're in uniform, make sure to act like a student of Liebe Girls Academy." Mai: "Salutations, you two." Hime: "Oh, yes..." Hime: "Salutations. Looking forward to working with you today!" Mai; Sumika: "Likewise." Hime: "Phew." Hime: "Looks like she didn't tell on me yet." Kanoko: "Maybe she didn't hear?" Hime: "No way! Life isn't that easy!" Hime: "That look on her face..." Hime: "Bad people always tell on me and call me a liar. People who hear that change the way they treat me." Kanoko: "If that happens, I'll protect you! No matter who says what!" Hime: "Thanks. But it might be too much for you. This is something I need to handle." Mitsuki: "Hey, you two. Get changed. We haven't opened yet, but you shouldn't be in the salon without your uniform." Kanoko: "She didn't say anything." Hime: "Yeah..." Kanoko: "Just her usual..." Hime: "Yeah, her harsh scolding." Mitsuki: "Yes, so, "Earl Grey" is not a type of tea leaf. It's a flavored tea scented with bergamot." emale Customer D: "You're so knowledgeable." Mitsuki: "My thanks." Sumika: "Good job, as always." Sumika: "You study diligently, and your service to our visitors is impeccable." Mitsuki: "Of course. That's our duty as the students in charge of the salon." Mitsuki: "So, Tachibana-sama, you might consider doing your job as well." Sumika: "How annoying." Mitsuki: "Oh, I'm sorry! I spoke out of place against a senpai..." Sumika: "No, it's a compliment." Sumika: "It's almost annoying how perfect you are. Tachibana-sama! You're teasing me again!" Hime: "It's the usual. The usual elegant stuff." Hime: "It doesn't seem like she told the others..." Hime: "Everyone's working as usual..." Hime: "No, I can't let my guard down. There's no telling what she's thinking." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "What's wrong? Shall I help you carry that?" Hime: "No, I... I'm okay." Mitsuki: "There's no need to be modest." Mitsuki: "Come on, turn on the "little sister" already." Hime: "This is business as usual, too. What is it? What is she trying to do?" Customer: "Excuse me." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "Hime!" Mitsuki: "What's wrong? I called on you many times." Mitsuki: "Please try and focus." Hime: "I'm sorry. I'm just nervous—" Yano: "That's a lie." Hime: "Putting up a façade is no use against her. She already knows." Sumika: "Ayanokouji-san, she's just a first-year. She might just get distracted sometimes." Mitsuki: "But... That's no excuse for a salon worker." Sumika: "Oh? If you want to be the strict one, I'll take Shirasagi-san's side." Sumika: "What's wrong? Show us your cute face as usual." Hime: "Wait, wait, wait, wait?! What does that mean?! I assumed Gyaru-senpai hadn't found out, but has she?! It's possible that she already found out and just isn't saying so... These girls have the skill to know everything and just lie about it!" Hime: "What did she say? Did she just tell on me?! Why?!" Hime: "Huh? Kanoko?" Hime: "What? What is this?! What are they doing?!" Mitsuki: "Hime, come with me." Mai: "I saw. Hime-chan, you got pulled out." Hime: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "You're not doing any work. You've been spaced out all day." Mitsuki: "I'm sorry. I'll head back right away, so please deal with her." Mai: "No, that's your job as Onee-sama." Mai: "I'll go follow up out front." Mitsuki: "Huh?" Mai: "I can help Nene-san in the dishup, at least." Mitsuki: "Manager?" Mai: "Ayanokouji-san, please guide your little sister." Mitsuki: "Sit, then..." Hime: "Yes..." Male Customer: "Excuse me! May I order?" Kanoko: "Oh, yes." Hime: "Um... I..." Hime: "Why did I get pulled out?" Mitsuki: "Drop the act already." Mitsuki: "I already know you're a liar." Mitsuki: "I'm the one with the questions. Why are you acting all scared today?" Hime: "Well... I..." Hime: "Yesterday, when you found out... I thought you'd expose me to everyone..." Mitsuki: "I won't!" Mitsuki: "Is that it?" Mitsuki: "Can we go back to work now?" Hime: "She found out about my façade, but she's acting like everything's normal..." Hime: "Why..." Hime: "Why won't you act differently towards me? You know I've been putting up an act this whole time. I might have been lying, too." Hime: "But your attitude hasn't changed." Mitsuki: "What's that all about? Is that an act, too?" Hime: "N-No!" Mitsuki: "I don't know. I don't know which of your words to believe anymore. It's not that my attitude "hasn't changed." I just don't know what to do with you." Hime: "I see. Just like how I couldn't understand what she was thinking, she doesn't understand what I'm thinking, either." Hime: "Because I'm putting up a façade. But still, she won't expose me to the others. She won't change how she treats me." Hime: "I'm starting to get it. She's..." Hime: "a good person! It's not a lie that I want you to like me." Hime: "She's different." Hime: "She's not like her." Hime: "I'm scared of people finding out that I'm acting. In the past, when a classmate found out, she went around telling everyone that I was a liar." Hime: "Because of her, I had the worst time... I wondered why I even told the truth to someone so horrible." Mitsuki: "So? Did you forget about her?" Hime: "I could never forget someone like that. Her name was—" Hime & Mitsuki: "Mitsuki Yano." Hime: "What? Why..." Mitsuki: "It's me."

Hime: "Yano?" Hime: "You, Ayanokouji-san?" Mitsuki: "Knowing you, I thought you might just be pretending, but..." Mitsuki: "I guess you really didn't realize at all." Hime: "Mitsuki Yano..." Hime: "How could I forget?" Hime: "My name is Hime Shiraki. I just transferred to this school!" Girl A: "Hime-chan, huh?" Girl B: "So cute!" Hime: "I want to get to know everyone and be friends!" Girl A: "Hime-chan! Hime-chan!" Girl A: "How are you? Have you gotten used to this school?" Girl B: "Do you have any questions?" Girl C: "Are classes different from your previous school?" Girl D: "Ask us anything, Hime-chan!" Hime: "Thanks! I was nervous at first, but you all taught me a lot, so I'm fine now!" Hime: "I'm so glad everyone in this class is so nice. I love you all!" Girl A: "Hime-chan is such a nice girl!" Girl C: "Yeah!" Girl D: "And so cute, too!" Hime: "No way!" Girl B: "What? I bet you were popular at your last school." Hime: "Someone cute like me just needs to behave adorably to be liked." Girl D: "Who could leave someone as cute as Hime-chan alone?" Hime: "It was simple for me, and I'd already taken it to heart." Hime: "Oh, by the way, what do we do in music class?" Girl B: "In music, we're practicing for the chorus competition. Hime-chan, are you good at singing?" Hime: "Not at all!" Girl C: "But you seem like you would be." Hime: "I do like music, though. Also, I—" Yano: "Can you go talk somewhere else?" Yano: "I can't move the desks. Get out of the way." Hime: "I'm sorry." Hime: "I didn't notice." Hime: "Let me help." Girl A: "She didn't have to say it like that." Girl C: "I know, right?" Girl B: "She's always nagging us." Girl D: "Who does she think she is?" Girl C: "She's playing the piano accompaniment for the chorus competition." Girl B: "Yano-san's always like that." Girl B: "Oh, I know! Hime-chan, can you play the piano?" Girl B: "Y'know, the piano?" Girl B: "Can you play it, by any chance?" Girl A: "Hime-chan?" Hime: "No way! I can't play at all. Piano is so hard." Girl B: "Too bad. We can all sing together, then." Hime: "Yes!" Classmate A: "Hime-chan, you haven't seen the biotope yet, have you?" Hime: "What's that?" Classmate A: "We grow fish there and stuff. Wanna see?" Hime: "I have to go visit the teachers' office." Hime: "Am I pulling this off? Will I be all right?" Hime: "Staying on good terms with my classmates... It's okay. I can do this." Hime: "Wow... Awesome!" Hime: "Yano-san, you're such a good pianist!" Hime: "Oh, you recognize me, right?" Yano: "Hime Shiraki-san..." Hime: "Yes! Sorry about the cleanup thing." Yano: "About what?" Hime: "Um..." Hime: "Hey, you're playing piano for the chorus competition, right? Is this the sheet music?" Yano: "Hey, this is just my practice..." Hime: "Oh, so it's this one! Hey, let me give it a shot!" Yano: "Huh?" Hime: "Please! Just a little!" Yano: "I'm trying to practice." Hime: "Is this the hard part?" Yano: "Hey, the piano isn't a toy..." Hime: "Oops! I got pretty far." Yano: "What? Huh? You played really well. What did you mean when you said you can't play at all?" Hime: "I can play." Hime: "I love piano!" Yano: "But back in class..." Hime: "Oh, so you did hear that?" Hime: "That was a lie." Yano: "What? A lie? You lied? Why would you lie about that?" Hime: "Well, I mean... They were obviously saying that to hurt you." Hime: "If I'd said I could play, they would have given you a hard time." Yano: "Yeah, they probably would have asked you to play for the class." Yano: "I don't think everyone wants me to play along with them." Yano: "They don't like it when I ask everyone to take it seriously." Yano: "Why is that? Shouldn't they be putting their all into it?" Hime: "They don't have the confidence to take things seriously like you do." Hime: "Like, even if they'd told me I should play instead of you..." Hime: "Oh? Oh, no... Do I have to hide the fact that I can play the piano now? I can't play at school at all, then." Yano: "In that case," Yano: "why don't we play together? We can play a four-hand piece. Then you can play, too." Hime: "Oh, right! That'd be great!" Hime: "But we'd need new music for that..." Yano: "If we practice together, we'll be all right." Hime: "Great! Let's practice together!" Yano: "Yes!" Hime: "And then... We cleared the idea with the music teacher, and the two of us began practicing" Hime: "for the chorus competition. Yano learned the new piece right away," Hime: "but I needed a lot of practice. I was quick to slack off and get off-topic, and Yano always told me off for it," Hime: "but we became very close very quickly." Yano: "Hime-chan." Yano: "We can't use the music room today." Hime: "Oh, okay." Yano: "So, for practice—" Girl B: "Hey!" Girl B: "Hime-chan, you're still here!" Girl B: "You always go home so quickly!" Girl A: "Hey, do you have a sec?" Hime: "Yeah, sure! What is it?" Girl A: "Hime-chan, do you like swimming?" Hime: "Yeah, though I'm not good at it." Girl A: "That's fine! Same here." Yano: "Hime-chan has piano practice now!" Yano: "Let's go, Hime-chan!" Hime: "Oh? Um..." Hime: "Sorry, we'll talk more about that later!" Hime: "Hey, Yano-san! What's wrong?" Yano: "Please don't be friendly with them." Hime: "Huh?" Yano: "You always act so happy around them, but why do you even like them?" Hime: "Oh, I get it... That's what this is about." Hime: "It's an act." Yano: "An act?" Hime: "Yes. I'm putting up an act so that everyone in class likes me. It's a lie." Yano: "I see, so you're not really close to them. In that case, you shouldn't lie." Hime: "Oof..." Yano: "Still, that's a relief." Yano: "I was afraid you'd pick them over playing the piano." Hime: "Huh? What about the place to practice?" Yano: "I want you to come to my house today." Yano: "Let's practice piano at my house!" Yano: "Please come in." Yano: "Hime-chan! This way!" Hime: "R-Right!" Yano: "We'll practice on this piano today." Hime: "What is this?! Yano-san, your family is super rich!" Yano: "Would you like some tea?" Hime: "What kind of high culture is that?!" Hime: "I'm so jealous! So jealous! I bet being born in a family like this would make every day a joy!" Yano: "Would it?" Yano: "Hime-chan, you're wasting time chatting again. Sit, already." Hime: "So, we're not hanging out?" Yano: "We have work to do before the chorus competition!" Hime: "Y-Yeah!" Hime: "The chorus competition. Let's do this!" Hime: "But that was..." Hime: "Not as easy as I'd hoped." Hime: "Huh?" Music Teacher: "Okay, stop there. Let's start the piano part over." Hime: "U-Um..." Yano: "Hime-chan, don't worry." Music Teacher: "One more time, from the top." Yano: "Hime-chan, you're too easily affected by others' mistakes." Hime: "You think so?" Yano: "To stay calm, you have to practice a lot." Hime: "Yeah!" Yano: "The music room's available on that half-day coming up." Hime: "Before I knew it," Hime: "everything was..." Hime: "starting to fall apart." Hime: "Huh?! What do you mean, bullying?" Teacher: "Well, if Yano-san is forcing you to play piano with her..." Hime: "Huh?" Teacher: "That's... not great. You can say no, if you want." Hime: "That's..." Teacher: "If it's difficult for you to speak up—" Hime: "No! I'm playing piano because I really want to!" Teacher: "I understand. Thank you." Teacher: "I wonder what it is, then?" Teacher: "Maybe it just appears that way to others..." Hime: "Bullying? What in the... Where did that come from?" Girl A: "Hime-chan!" Hime: "Oh, yes?" Girl A: "We all wanted to go to a swimming pool together. My mom can take us." Hime: "Oh, you talked about that a while ago." Girl A: "Yeah. We're going today, wanna come?" Hime: "Oh, I have to practice piano today—" Girl B: "Let's go, Hime-chan! You gotta relax sometimes!" Girl B: "You can't just let Yano-san force you to play piano all the time, right?" Girl A: "I really feel bad for Hime-chan." Girl B: "Yeah." Girl D: "You'll never have time for fun at this rate!" Girl C: "How come she doesn't think about how Hime-chan feels?" Girl B: "I know right? Piano all day, Yano-san is too persistent." Hime: "Oh, I get it. It was them..." Girl C: "When will she notice that Hime-chan is annoyed at her?" Hime: "They must have said bad things about Yano-san to the teacher." Girls: "I know, right?" Girl A: "So, how about it? We're gonna all go home first, then meet up at my place." Girl C: "Hime-chan, don't waste all your time on the piano." Girl D: "Yeah! Let's go!" Hime: "Okay, I'll go! Let's play!" Girl A: "Yay!" Girl B: "We'll finally get to hang out with Hime-chan!" Girl A: "What should we do first?" Girl D: "I can't wait to get to the pool!" Girl A: "See you later, Hime-chan!" Hime: "Yep, at two o'clock!" Girls: "See you! Can't wait!" Yano: "Why are you here, Hime-chan?" Hime: "I decided not to go." Hime: "Listen." Girl A: "Hello? Hime-chan?" Hime: "Sorry! Turns out I can't go after all." Girl A: "Huh?!" Hime: "I gotta stay home." Girl A: "Oh, no..." Hime: "Yeah, my mom said I really have to. Sorry." Girl A: "That's too bad. Ugh, I really wanted to hang out with you!" Girl A: "Okay, later!" Hime: "All done! Suckers." Yano: "Why? You promised..." Hime: "It's fine. That was the plan all along. Hanging out with people I don't even like? Why should I bother?" Yano: "Huh?" Hime: "Don't trust what I say. My promise to them was a lie." Yano: "Again... You lied again." Hime: "Yes. I'm a liar." Yano: "I'm so glad..." Hime: "Remember that about me, that I lie." Hime: "What? You have a housekeeper?!" Yano: "Yes, she makes tea that goes really well with cake." Hime: "That day, we didn't practice at all." Hime: "Yano didn't scold me that time." Hime: "We could keep talking forever." Hime: "That's why I..." Girl A: "Got you, Hime-chan! Hey, let's talk." Girl B: "The pool was so much fun." Hime: "I'm jealous. I knew it. I really wanted to go." Girl C: "You should have just left your house empty and gone anyway." Hime: "I just assumed the two of us would be okay." Music Teacher: "Oh? What's wrong, Shiraki-san?" Hime: "What should I have done?" Girl A: "I heard from the teacher! You're not going to play the piano anymore?" Girl D: "We were worried." Girl C: "You were finally freed, Hime-chan!" Hime: "I thought that if I kept playing, they'd keep writing Yano off as the enemy. So I quit to protect her, but... Well..." Girl A: "See, it's like I said." Girl B: "Yeah, it looked really tough, how Yano-san kept forcing you to practice." Hime: "That's not it." Hime: "I volunteered to play the piano. Yano-san didn't force me, or anything like that." Girl B: "Huh? Wait, but you said before that you couldn't play the piano." Hime: "Well, that's..." Hime: "I did it for Yano. But..." Hime: "I only said that because I had no confidence! But I tried anyway." Girl A: "Hime-chan, nobody's blaming you. You put up with Yano-san this long, so you tried hard enough." Hime: "I hope so. I tried pretty hard, but I still couldn't keep up with Yano-san." Girl B: "We won't ever force you to do anything." Hime: "I'm glad you all are so nice!" Girl A: "We all love you, Hime-chan! Right?" Girls B; C & D: "Yes!" Hime: "Thanks! I love you all, too!" Yano: "She's lying." Girls: "Huh?" Yano: "Hime-chan doesn't really like any of you. She's lying." Hime: "It was supposed to be for Yano." Girl C: "Huh? Yano-san, what are you talking about?" Girl A: "Why would you say something like that now?" Yano: "Hime-chan was hanging out with me the other day. She said it was too annoying to hang out with other people she doesn't even like." Yano: "Hime-chan is a liar!" Hime: "Yano betrayed me." Hime: "After the chorus competition, Yano transferred out of the school." Hime: "Left behind, I was called a liar until the day I graduated." Hime: "There's no way I can forgive Yano." Mai: "How is it, you two? Can you come back to the salon?" Mitsuki: "Yes. It's all done. We're coming back." Mai: "All right, go get 'em, you two." Music Teacher: "Yano-san, are you practicing for the accompaniment?" Yano: "Yes. Hime-chan will be here soon, too." Music Teacher: "Oh, didn't she tell you? Shiraki-san's going to quit." Girl A: "Hime-chan, nobody's blaming you. You put up with Yano-san this long, so you tried hard enough." Hime: "I hope so. I tried pretty hard, but I still couldn't keep up with Yano-san." Yano: "What?!" Girl B: "We won't ever force you to do anything." Hime: "I'm glad." Hime: "That was a lie." Hime: "A lie!" Girl A: "We all love you, Hime-chan!" Yano: "It can't be..." Hime: "Thanks! I love you all, too!" Hime: "Yes, I'm a liar." Yano: "She's lying." Mitsuki: "I..." Mitsuki: "I was a fool for having any hope for you." Hime: "Shut up! You just sat and watched me. Even though you're the one who betrayed me." Kanoko: "Hime-chan." Mitsuki: "Let's go." Hime: "I was working with Yano this whole time?" Male Customer: "Oh! They're back!" emale Customer: "Welcome back!" Sumika: "Were you able to talk?" Sumika: "Leaving the salon because Shirasagi-san "seemed a bit off"... What kind of reason is that? I envy how close you sisters are." Hime: "Sisters... Yano and I?!" Sumika: "Shirasagi-san?" Sumika: "Hey, Yano-chan, what's going on here?"

Mai: "What's going on?" Mai: "Why did things get weird between them?" Sumika: "How would I know?" Mai: "Mitsuki-san?" Mitsuki: "I'm heading out for the day!" Mai: "Hime-chan?" Kanoko: "Um, we're going to head home ourselves." Kanoko: "Let's go, Hime-chan." Mai: "Sumika-san—" Sumika: "How would I know?!" Hime: "She was Yano..." Kanoko: "Yano? You mean, that girl from grade school you mentioned?" Hime: "She was using "Ayanokouji" as a fake name, so I didn't know..." Kanoko: "Hime-chan?" Hime: "When I heard "Mitsuki," I just thought, "Oh, the same first name as Yano."" Kanoko: "Wait." Kanoko: "You didn't notice, right?" Hime: "Of course not! How could I have known?! She's all grown up and stuff. And also, like, super pretty. No wonder she never liked me! She knew! From the beginning! About me... About the fact that I have a façade!" Hime: "She... She's always hated me." Announcement: "Doors are opening. Please watch out for pedestrians and bicycles." Kanoko: "So, no need to get her to like you anymore?" Kanoko: "She knows about your façade. You don't need to keep up the act just to get her to like you, right?" Hime: "Well..." Kanoko: "It's okay. It's just one person. Everybody else loves you, Hime-chan." Announcement: "The bus is now departing." Mitsuki: "There's someone I can't forget..." Mitsuki: "A liar, a people pleaser, and someone so insincere..." Mitsuki: "The girl who betrayed me." Mitsuki: "Whenever I think about her, I wonder." Mitsuki: "Was she the betrayer back then? Or..." Mitsuki: "If we could start over..." Mitsuki: "And who might you be?" Hime: "I'm..." Hime: "I'm here to help just for today." Mitsuki: "What? Hime-chan? Hime-chan!" Mai: "Hime-chan! Come get changed!" Hime: "Okay!" Mitsuki: "Hime-san, is it?" Mitsuki: "I'm very pleased to meet you." Mitsuki: "It's really Hime-chan!" Mai: "That's right. Her real name is Shiraki-san." Mai: "How did you know? Maybe "Shirasagi" was too close." Hime: "Um, s-salutations? My name is Hime Shirasagi, a first-year student. Everyone, I'm very pleased to meet you." Mitsuki: "Why is Hime-chan here?" Mitsuki: "Did she come to see me?" Hime: "My very kind onee-sama." Mitsuki: "Yes. Thank you." Hime: "Good work today! I couldn't have done it without you, Onee-sama. Um, good day to you, Onee-sama. Because when I first met Ayanokouji-san, she looked like a kind big sister to me, so I just..." Mitsuki: "She has absolutely no idea who I am!" Mitsuki: "And she doesn't understand the theme of this café at all!" Sumika: "Salutations." Hime: "Salutations... Um, I have to get changed." Sumika: "Hey, about Yano-chan..." Sumika: "What happened there? You can talk to me." Sumika: "Complaints, grudges... there's some things you can't say directly. I'll help you get those off your chest." Hime: "No, there's nothing like that!" Sumika: "Sure seems like there is, though... And that goes for both of you, actually." Hime: "Yano-san..." Hime: "Did she say anything about me?" Sumika: "Hmm, I dunno. She doesn't tell me anything." Mitsuki: "Sumika-san! Please don't give her any weird ideas!" Hime: "She's right here." Sumika: "I thought some drastic measures might be helpful here, but..." Mitsuki: "It's nothing for you to be worried about, Sumika-san! I can do the work just fine!" Mitsuki: "I don't care about you one bit! Don't get any weird ideas!" Hime: "After all you did to betray me, you don't feel any guilt?! You've got nothing else to say?!" Mai: "Mitsuki-san. Can you serve in the salon in your current state?" Mitsuki: "I can!" Mai: "In that case, I won't get in your way. But!" Mai: "Don't forget this. While in the salon, you all are students of Liebe Girls Academy. There might be disagreements here and there, but overall, I expect you all to act close with each other. Keep that in mind at all times." Sumika: "Will that be all?" emale Customer A: "Yes." Sumika: "Understood. Please enjoy your time here." emale Customer B: "Um, I heard there was a new pair of sisters..." Sumika: "Yes, they're over there... Those two." emale Customer B: "Um, which one?" emale Customer A: "Actually, it seems like there's trouble brewing between them." emale Customer B: "Oh, I see. There's a story playing out?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, let me help." Hime: "Thanks, Kanoko. I'll be fine." Sumika: "Now they really seem like they're going through a fight story arc." Sumika: "Shirasagi-san, didn't your Onee-sama scold you for carrying the trencher like that?" Sumika: "Why don't you ask her for a refresher course?" Hime: "Okay..." Mitsuki: "Please enjoy your time here." Customer: "The tea smells delicious." Hime: "Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "You should carry the trencher with one hand, from below. I told you..." Hime: "There's no way! I can't be friendly with Yano! No matter what I do, I can only see her as Yano!" Male Customer A: "Too bad, Shirasagi-san. She didn't teach you like the last time." Hime: "Um, no." Male Customer B: "It's all right! I'm sure she'll go right back to being the kind sister she was." Hime: "Onee-sama..." Hime: "She doesn't care about me one bit!" Male Customer A: "Don't say that." Male Customer B: "We're always watching the two of you." Male Customer A: "H-Huh?" Male Customer B: "What the..." Sumika: "Looks like your little sister got very sulky." Mitsuki: "Yes." Sumika: "It's not like Shirasagi-san to be that way. Perhaps you did something uncharacteristic?" Sumika: "It makes me wonder what happened." Mitsuki: "Yes..." emale Customer A: "Ayanokouji-san can't keep her eyes off of Shirasagi-san..." emale Customer B: "I wonder if we'll see them get back on good terms?" Sumika: "You seem completely lost in thought, but have you forgotten? There are others who wish you would direct... that gaze..." Sumika: "I see it now." Sumika: "How strong your feelings for Shirasagi-san are." Mitsuki: "That's not it! It's not like that!" Mitsuki: "Oh..." Mitsuki: "I-I'm sorry!" Sumika: "Ayanokouji-san?!" Hime: "Really? You really hate me that much?" Mai: "Hmm." Mai: "This isn't good." Mitsuki: "Sumika-san! Listen to me, please!" Sumika: "You're just being shy, right?" Mitsuki: "No! I'm not playing Schwestern with her because I want to!" Sumika: "You came all the way out here just to tell me that?" Mitsuki: "She's just messing around! All that "Please watch me!" and "Please applaud me!" stuff! I can't tell if she's serious at all!" Sumika: "Such a cute little sister, don't you think?" Mitsuki: "No! She can't even do the work right. She doesn't even understand the theme. And..." Mitsuki: "I don't want her messing with me anymore!" Sumika: "Yano-chan, you're like an open book." Mitsuki: "Huh?" Sumika: "But I'd watch it, if I were you. Everyone around is putting up with your attitude now," Sumika: "but you can't rely on us forever." Mitsuki: "What do you mean?" Sumika: "That's for you to figure out. So that you don't go too far and fail." Mitsuki: "I'm truly sorry." Sumika: "Do you really get why you're being scolded?" Mitsuki: "I went out of character and ruined the theme while in the salon..." Sumika: "That's not the issue! Well, it is a problem, but still. You two need to get along." Mai: "Mitsuki-san, that was a rare slip-up." Mai: "Hime-chan, you suddenly lost the little sister in you. If this goes on, we'll have to end your Schwestern relationship. You'd have to return the Kreuze and announce that you've broken up. Are you sure you want that?" Mitsuki: "I couldn't tolerate such a dishonor!" Mai: "That's right. The Blume period is coming up, too. That would be very disappointing." Mitsuki: "I'll do whatever I can to get the job done." Hime: "I... I don't have to continue if Ayanokouji-san doesn't want to." Sumika: "What are you talking about, Hime-chan?! You were the one that wanted it the first place! What's gotten into you?!" Mai: "Sumika-san." Hime: "But... I didn't know she was Yano until now..." Mai: "So, what should we do? I wanted the two of you to stay and practice..." Mitsuki: "Before we do that, I..." Mitsuki: "I'd like a moment to speak alone." Mai: "Understood. The two of you, go ahead to the salon. I'll be there once I'm done closing up the register." Mai: "Kanoko-chan, Sumika-san, you two are free to leave." Mitsuki: "It was you. You started this." Mitsuki: "Why don't you want to continue being Schwestern?" Hime: "I don't care." Mitsuki: "Hey..." Mitsuki: "You can't just quit so easily. This isn't a game. This is our job!" Hime: "Who cares?! If you hate it so much, just quit!" Mitsuki: "Yeah. You would say that, wouldn't you?" Mitsuki: "Like how you quit the piano and distanced yourself from me." Mitsuki: "Like how you betrayed me! You liar!" Hime: "What... How?" Yano: "Hime-chan is a liar!" Hime: "Is that why? Is it because I quit the piano?" Hime: "You call that a betrayal? You knew I lie. There's no way I would ever betray you, Yano!" Mitsuki: "What the..." Hime: "Don't trust what I say. My promise to them was a lie." Mitsuki: "What are you saying?" Mitsuki: "You just... up and quit." Hime: "I did that for you!" Hime: "But you betrayed me! Why would you do that to me?!" Hime: "Why did you end up hating me?" Mitsuki: "No... What are you talking about?" Mitsuki: "Why would you lie about that now? Why..." Male Customer C: "Excuse me!" Mitsuki: "Stand back." Hime: "Huh?" Mitsuki: "Just get back!" Mitsuki: "Salutations. How may I help you?" Male Customer C: "I'm sorry. It seems like I forgot my umbrella." Mitsuki: "Oh, dear. Do you have the luggage tag?" Male Customer C: "Ah, yes." Mitsuki: "Let me take a look." Mitsuki: "Is this what you're looking for?" Male Customer C: "Yes! This is it." Male Customer C: "Thank you very much." Male Customer C: "Shirasagi-san, I'll come visit again." Hime: "Yes!" Mitsuki: "Please take care." Mitsuki: "Manager, we're done talking." Hime: "Huh? What? She just wanted me out of the way so she could address the customer?" Mitsuki: "That's right. You can do it." Mitsuki: "Let's be Schwestern and do it right. I'll do my best to cover for you." Hime: "What did we just discuss?" Hime: "What did Yano try to tell me just now?" Mai: "So, this is practice, but... If you can't do it here, you won't manage it during work hours. I'll have you practice until you get it right, no matter how long it takes." Sumika: "We're standing by to give advice if we notice anything. Good luck." Mai: "They stayed around for you. Let's not keep them too long!" Kanoko: "Good luck, Hime-chan." Hime: "I want to make this work, too! But ever since I found out she was Yano, my façade stopped working." Mai: "Okay, let's take a moment to review the theme and characters." Mai: "You two are intimate Schwestern. A kind older sister who cares for her little sister, and the innocent, pampered little sister." Mai: "The two of you will serve visitors in the salon, as always." Hime: "Um—" Mitsuki: "Salu—" Mitsuki: "Yes? What is it?" Hime: "No, it's, um, nothing..." Sumika: "You're too nervous!" Mai: "Hmm. What was it like when you first started, when it was going much better?" Mai: "You must have poured part of your real feelings into the characters you played. How did the other person seem to you? How did you want them to see you? Try to remember." Hime: "That's right, at first..." Hime: "At first, I thought Yano seemed like a kind older sister. Then, she turned out to have a hair-trigger temper, and I couldn't read her at all." Mitsuki: "I'm against it!" Hime: "So I thought, "Why is she always so harsh with me?"" Mitsuki: "You better take this seriously, my "little sister"." Hime: ""I'm so cute, and acting cute."" Mitsuki: "I'm only helping you because you're my little sister!" Hime: ""Why won't she stop being so scary?" "Why?" "Why can't she come to like me?"" Mai: "Right!" Mai: "Let's give it another go!" Mai: "You two are intimate Schwestern. Today, you're serving in the salon as usual..." Hime: "Salutations, Onee-sama!" Hime: "What will you teach me today?" Mitsuki: "Let's see. We'll have you learn how to reset the tables today, all right?" Hime: "Yes, Onee-sama!" Mitsuki: "Goodness, what a beautiful response. I do love a girl who takes work seriously." Hime: "I'll do my very best! I want to hear those things from you more often!" Mitsuki: "Oh, you're such a flirt." Hime: "Thank you!" Sumika: "So you can do it." Mai: "Okay! That was great." Sumika: "I was worried about what it was you two were discussing, but it seems like you're okay now." Hime: "Was that okay?" Mai: "It would be best if you could practice a bit more..." Sumika: "But we're running out of time." Mai: "Okay, let's wrap this up for today, then!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, I'm glad we can go home now." Hime: "Thanks for sticking around for me, Kanoko." Kanoko: "It's okay. Let's get ready to leave." Sumika: "I guess it all comes down to the salon tomorrow." Mai: "I have faith in them." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, you're always able to pull out your façade on cue." Hime: "Did it work just now, too?" Kanoko: "Yes. It was about as good as always." Hime: "I thought about how I felt until now, and it came out so naturally. Right." Hime: "So that I can stay paired up with her..." Hime: "So that she can be kind to me... So that she can spoil me." Hime: "It was supposed to be just a façade, but..." Hime: "What I wanted was..." Hime: "for her to like me." Hime: "But... Yano hates me." Mai: "Hmm..." Sumika: "I think as long as they can perform well today, it'll be fine, but..." Sumika: "Oh, salutations, Hime-chan, Kanoko-chan." Hime: "Salutations...?" Mai: "How did they know about an argument that happened after closing? I don't want Mitsuki-san to see this and get upset again, but..." Sumika: "I'll try to tell her about it." Mai: "Please." Sumika: "What about Hime-chan?" Mai: "She should know, too." Hime: "Did something happen?" Mai: "Unfortunately, yes." Sumika: "Yano-chan's slip-up yesterday already got attention online. The blog it was originally posted on is supportive of the two, but it started some arguments. For some reason, Yano-chan is being cast as the villain." Hime: "What?"

Hime: "Ayanokouji-san is forcing me to be Schwestern with her?!" Hime: "Where... Where did this come from?!" Sumika: "There were similar comments before, too." Mai: ""Those two actually don't like each other but are forced to be Schwestern," and so on." Mai: "You two became Schwestern really early, so rumors like that did come up." Sumika: "Some people can't help but poke around behind the scenes when they see a happy story." Sumika: "And that fight happened within the context of that rumor of you two not getting along." Mitsuki: "That's not it! It's not like that!" Sumika: "It started with "Ayanokouji-san exploded in rage," and... "I knew those two weren't on good terms," "It must be Ayanokouji-san's fault," "I feel sorry for Shirasagi-san," and so on and so forth." Hime: "What do you want me to do?" Sumika: "Nothing needs to change." Sumika: "Just be good sisters to each other, as always." Mai: "I'm worried about Mitsuki-san." Sumika: "She is a try-hard, that Yano-chan." Sumika: "She's so serious about work. And she can be stubborn, which is good and bad. So I don't want her to know what people say behind her back." Sumika: "If she hears it, she might fail to stay in character again." Hime: "I kind of understand." Sumika: "Hime-chan, help Yano-chan out, okay?" Hime: "Great! Let's practice together!" Yano: "Yes!" Customer: "I can't wait." Hime: "Onee-sama!" Hime: "I'll carry that." Mitsuki: "Would you please?" Hime: "I've got it!" Mitsuki: "I do so love a hard worker." Hime: "I'll do my best! I want to hear that from you more often, Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "Oh, my. Hime, you're carrying it wrong again." Mitsuki: "That's shaky. When will you learn?" Hime: "I love how you teach me how to serve here at the salon." Hime: "Maybe that's why I keep getting it wrong. That way, I can have you teach me again." Mitsuki: "Goodness, you're such a troublesome little sister." Hime: "Please don't be mad." emale Customer A: "Phew, that's good to see. I heard some weird rumors, so I was worried." emale Customer B: "Looks like they're back to normal today." Sumika: "Good reception... Keep it up, you two." Hime: "That's right, I can do it." Hime: "Nobody's forcing anybody." Hime: "Stupid rumors." Hime: "Look at what a glamorous, friendly pair of sisters we are." Hime: "I can do it. My façade can pull it off!" Mitsuki: "Hime?" Hime: "Yes?" Mitsuki: "Are you all right? Don't push yourself too hard." Hime: "I'm fine! I'm just enjoying serving in the salon with you, Onee-sama." Mitsuki: "I sometimes don't understand, because you're like that." Hime: "Onee-sama?" Mitsuki: "I don't understand why you want to be my sister..." Hime: "Wha— Don't make such a pained face, stupid! You're creating a heavy atmosphere! I don't understand what you mean." Hime: "Why?" Hime: "I'm your little sister, and I just want to please my Onee-sama. That's all." Mitsuki: "Right..." emale Customer C: "Um, Shirasagi-san..." Hime: "Oh, yes!" emale Customer C: "I don't know how to phrase this properly, but you should, like..." emale Customer C: "You should do things the way you want." emale Customer C: "That thing about Ayanokouji-san forcing you is, well..." Hime: "What... Whatever do you mean?" Hime: "There's nothing like that. Besides, a good little sister listens to her Onee-sama." emale Customer C: "Um, what I wanted to say is..." Hime: "Why won't things work out?" Hime: "Yano is just taking her job seriously..." Hime: "Look!" Hime: "This is the way to carry it the way you taught me, right?" Mitsuki: "Yes, that's correct. Just be careful, okay?" Hime: "Yes!" Hime: "She's so nice to me when we're sisters..." Hime: "My façade is holding up fine..." Hime: "But still..." Hime: "Why do people say she's forcing me?" Hime: "Why?" Hime: "Why do they always have to make Yano the bad guy?" Hime: "Why..." Hime: "Why does it have to end up like how it was back then?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan?! What's wrong, Hime-chan?! Why are you crying?!" Hime: "Well, it just feels like things just never work out." Kanoko: "They are! You're doing the work fine!" Kanoko: "It's all right!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, your work is just fine!" Hime: "Even if I do the work properly," Hime: "it just comes off like I'm being forced to, like the rumors." emale Customer D: "Why did you say that to Shirasagi-san?" Sumika: "Yano-chan, what happened yesterday was definitely a mistake on your part." Sumika: "Being criticized for that is unavoidable, okay?" Mitsuki: "Yes. I'm responsible, so I'm prepared to face the consequences." Sumika: "In that case," Sumika: "just forget about the mistake, and focus on making up today." Sumika: "That should make things easier for Hime-chan, too." Mitsuki: "What did you tell her?" Sumika: "I asked her to do things as usual." Sumika: "If she likes you the way she always has, that'll make you happy, right?" Mitsuki: "Are you teasing me?! Now?!" Sumika: "See? Yano-chan, you get so upset when someone points out the truth to you. I don't know what happened, but you should try to be more honest." Sumika: "Hime-chan would probably do the same." Sumika: "That's what I mean by making up." Mitsuki: "Still..." Mitsuki: "She can do that with lies. That's the kind of person she is." emale Customer C: "Come on, tell her! Please tell her, Yu-chan." emale Customer D: "Why me?! You're the one who talked to Shirasagi-san, Take!" emale Customer C: "Yeah, but..." Mitsuki: "Excuse me." Mitsuki: "Is everything all right?" emale Customer C: "See?! Come on, please! Yu-chan!" emale Customer D: "Well, my friend spoke to Shirasagi-san earlier... And she said something that came out totally wrong. She was trying to say Shirasagi-san should do whatever she wants, but I think Shirasagi-san got the total opposite message." emale Customer C: "That might have hurt Shirasagi-san. What I meant was that I want you two to continue to have the great relationship you had, and not mind the rumors at all." Mitsuki: "Rumors?" Sumika: "Oh, Ayanokouji-san." Male Customer A: "Um, may I order?" Sumika: "Oh, yes." Sumika: "I'll take your order." Kanoko: "Rumors? We're just working." Kanoko: "It's not something you should care about. Why..." Kanoko: "Why do you care about her?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan! It's Yano. The person who betrayed you before, and hates you now!" Hime: "Even still..." Hime: "I can't let people keep treating Yano like the villain." Hime: "She hasn't changed at all." Hime: "She's so serious, so stubborn. Such a do-gooder, and tough on others." Hime: "So annoying, and bad at putting on airs of any kind." Hime: "So she gets hated on and bad-mouthed, treated as the bad guy..." Hime: "She's always alone..." Hime: "That's why I have to be the one to help Yano!" Mitsuki: "What?" Mitsuki: "I heard about the rumor about us." Mitsuki: "Help me? What in the... That's what you were thinking about while working in the salon today?" Mitsuki: "Who cares about rumors?" Hime: "If I don't, you get treated as the bad guy! It's for your sake!" Mitsuki: "I don't understand." Mitsuki: "You're always saying those kind words, but..." Mitsuki: "You're still a liar and backstabber." Mitsuki: "Why do you want us to keep being sisters?" Mitsuki: "Which part of you should I trust? I don't understand..." Hime: "Yano, at the end of the day, you hate me..." Hime: "That's why you won't believe me." Hime: "Even if we could go back and do over grade school..." Hime: "I would probably do the same thing." Hime: "How to not make Yano the bad guy..." Hime: "How to save Yano... There's only one choice I'd ever make!" Hime: "I..." Hime: "I'm Schwestern because I want to be! Maybe things aren't going well, but I want to be Schwestern with my Onee-sama, and that's why I do it!" Sumika: "Hime-chan?! What's wrong?! That's not good!" Hime: "But still... I can't accept people speaking badly of my Onee-sama because I'm insisting on being Schwestern with you." Mitsuki: "Hime?" Mitsuki: "What are you doing?" Mitsuki: "That Kreuz is a precious token of our sisterhood." Mitsuki: "You're saying and doing totally opposite things..." Mitsuki: "Why? Why would you repeat what happened before?" Music Teacher: "Oh, didn't she tell you? Shiraki-san is going to quit." Mitsuki: "I'm so glad..." Hime: "I'm lying because I love you. Please understand this time!" Hime: "Remember that about me, that I lie." Mitsuki: "That's not right! Then why quit?! Why would you decide anything based on what people think about me?!" Mitsuki: "I feel the same." Mitsuki: "If you and I both want to continue, then there's no need to quit..." Mitsuki: "I love you." Mitsuki: "I love you, so don't stop being my sister." Hime: "I see now." Hime: "That's what I should have done." Hime: "I should have chosen the thing I wanted to do." Mitsuki: "So that's what you were thinking back then." Hime: "I didn't need to lie." Mitsuki: "I'm sorry I made you go through that." Mitsuki: "I'm sorry, Hime-chan." Mai: "I was worried at first, but the reaction is astounding. In a good way." Sumika: "Will this help dissipate the rumors?" Mai: "Well, rumors are just rumors." Mai: "The two of them being on good terms is the best part of this." Sumika: "Yes." Hime: "So you love me, huh? Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought you hated me, and that it was all over." Mitsuki: "It's just for now. Things just turned out that way." Hime: "So now we can be a friendly pair again!" Hime: "We can go back to being friends!" Hime: "Hmm? What?" Mitsuki: "It was stupid of me to expect more from you." Hime: "You said something like that before, when I didn't realize you were Yano." Mitsuki: "I still had hopes for you then." Mitsuki: "I thought maybe you felt the same way as... I do..." Hime: "You mean that I love you?" Mitsuki: "N-No! I said, stop getting the wrong idea!" Hime: "Huh?!" Hime: "What part of that was wrong?!" Mai: "We're opening soon. Salon workers, good luck today!" All: "Yes!" Mai: "Also..." Mai: "You two Schwestern!" Mai: "You can be super close to each other as usual!" Hime & Mitsuki: "Yes!" Hime & Mitsuki: "Salutations, and welcome to Liebe Girls Academy!" Hime: "This way, please. I'll show you to your seat." Hime: "Please let us know when you know what you want to order." Sumika: "Shirasagi-san, could you help that party of four over there?" Hime: "Yes, Tachibana-senpai!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, are you okay? We're busy today. Need help?" Hime: "Thanks, Kanoko." Hime: "But I'll be fine." Hime: "Thank you for waiting! Please enjoy your stay." Sumika: "Shirasagi-san." Sumika: "Do you know why we have so many visitors today?" Hime: "Huh? No..." Sumika: "Because you sisters are close again." Sumika: "I think they're all here to see you." Hime: "Onee-sama!" Hime: "Is there anything I can do to help?" Mitsuki: "Oh, Hime. We're quite busy, and yet you seem so eager to work." Hime: "I'm so happy! I finally got you to say you love me, Onee-sama!" Hime: "I see. It's because we denied the rumor of us not getting along, head-on..." Hime: "Onee-sama, I love you, too!" Customers: "Congratulations!" Customers: "Wonderful!" Mitsuki: "Hime, must you say that so loudly?" Mitsuki: "Please don't tease me like that." Hime: "What do you mean?!" Mai: "Phew, good. If those two stay on good terms like that, the Blume election should get exciting as well." Sumika: "Their fight was rough to watch." Sumika: "They say adversity strengthens the foundations. They seem even closer than before. When Yano-chan said she loved Hime-chan, I thought it was a serious, romantic confession. I didn't expect Yano-chan to use such a strong phrase." Mai: "It's a good thing. Very much." Sumika: "The guests loved it, too! I hope the two of them get along." Mai: "Sumika-san, why don't you explore making your own Schwester?" Mai: "If you could be Mitsuki-san's elder sister, you can guide your two little sisters." Sumika: "Nah, I want to watch those two from a distance. Also, I'm not sure Yano-chan can easily switch between older and younger sister." Mai: "How about Kanoko-chan, then?" Sumika: "Kanoko-chan barely speaks to me." Sumika: "I hardly understand what she's thinking, to be honest." Mai: "Huh? Is that your phone that's ringing?" Sumika: "No, it's not mine." Sumika: "It's from Hime-chan, meaning..." Mai: "Is this Kanoko-chan's phone?" Sumika: "Hello, Hime-chan?" Hime: "Oh, Tachibana-san? That's Kanoko's phone." Hime: "Where did you find it?" Hime: "Here, I'll hand you off to Kanoko." Hime: "Hey, Kanoko?!" Hime: "Um, she can't talk right now. Could you hold on to it until tomorrow?" Sumika: "Sure, I'll hold on to it." Sumika: "Yeah, see you at the salon tomorrow." Sumika: "See? Kanoko-chan won't speak to me at all." Mai: "Seems difficult." Sumika: "Oh, no passcode? How careless of you, Kanoko-chan. A bad senpai might find blackmail material!" Mai: "Stop that. Come on, time to close up."

Hime: "More weird lore stuff that I don't understand..." Kanoko: "I like spending time at work." Hime: "I get it! It's a student council president!" Kanoko: "I think it's different, actually." Hime: "Wait, how?!" Kanoko: "Because I get to spend more time close to Hime-chan than I can at school." Kanoko: "I'll ask later and explain it to you. It's okay." Kanoko: "I can help Hime-chan more than I can at school." Hime: "Thanks, Kanoko." Student A: "Have you decided who you'll vote for?" Student B: "I absolutely cannot wait." Student C: "Oh, look over there!" Student C: "The salon representatives, all in one group!" Student B: "I wonder who will become Blume-sama this year?" Mai: ""They're all so wonderful!"" Mai: "That's the image to go for." Mai: "The student to receive the adoration of every student in the academy for one year. A flower-like person representing Liebe... That is the Blume der Liebe, also known as Blume-sama. The Blume election is truly the event that determines the top flower of this academy. The Blume-sama, as an example for the school, can set one new rule for everyone to follow, to help achieve the ideal school! I'm going to ask you all to actually follow it." Sumika: "It's an element that appears in this novel, like the Schwester." Hime: "Um, by "every student in the academy," you mean us five, right?" Mai: "The five salon workers and all the others, totaling around 450 students." Mai: "The salon workers are already an elite group selected from the regular students. They're already widely adored, so naturally the Blume-sama is one of them. Also, the sister of the Blume-sama is called the Blume Schwester. They receive lots of adoration as well." Hime: "U-Um..." Sumika: "It's basically a popularity contest that starts in the café. Easy enough, right?" Hime: "Oh yeah, that's what it seems like." Mitsuki: "Sumika-san! You're being too reductive!" Mai: "Yes. Hime-chan needs to understand it, otherwise she'll get in trouble later." Sumika: "Well then, this might be the perfect time..." Sumika: "for her to do the assigned reading." Kanoko: "I'll read it too, and teach you." Hime: "Understood! I'll study up!" Mitsuki: "Take it seriously." Sumika: "Next is a work-related notice. During the election season, there's an additional cake on the menu, called the Blume Nachtisch. Every time someone orders one, please give out a ballot sheet. This is the Guest Ballot. In addition, the five of us get 90 votes each, representing the 450 students of the academy." Hime: "Hmm?" Sumika: "The information on who voted for who will all be revealed too, so please use this to build your character or as a talking point in the salon." Mitsuki: "Can we tell the guests that we each get 90 votes?" Sumika: "In that context, act as though you only have one vote." Hime: "I... see? Uh-huh..." Kanoko: "I'll explain later, Hime-chan." Mai: "In the end, the person to get the most votes" Mai: "becomes the Blume der Liebe!" Hime: "Um, are we allowed to vote for ourselves?" Mai: "Yes." Sumika: "Oh, Hime-chan, you've got your head in the game. Is there a rule you want to pass?" Hime: "How about "I want the whole academy to love me"?" Kanoko: "That's the whole premise of the Blume-sama, Hime-chan." Hime: "Huh?!" Mai: "If that's how you view Blume-sama, then you're on the right track. Keep it up." Hime: "So I don't need a rule..." Kanoko: "Nope." Mitsuki: "You're my little sister, so shouldn't you vote for me?" Hime: "Umm... Is that how sisters work?" Mitsuki: "Just do what you want, then!" Mitsuki: "But if you want to be in-character as my little sister, isn't that natural?" Kanoko: "I think you should try to become Blume-sama, Hime-chan. You should vote for yourself." Hime: "You think?" Kanoko: "I'm voting for you, too." Hime: "Really? Hmm, what should I do?" Mai: "That's the kind of talk you should have in the salon to liven up discussion. All right, Blume period starts today! Good luck, everyone!" All: "Yes!" Sumika: "Kanoko-chan." Kanoko: "Yes..." Sumika: "I put your phone in the safe, but do you want it back now? Or should I give it to you later?" Kanoko: "It's..." Sumika: "It's?" Kanoko: "It's fine!" Sumika: "Is that a yes or no?" Kanoko: "Later... Later is fine!" Hime: "Kanoko, she still has your phone?" Kanoko: "Yeah. Even if I got it now, I'd just end up putting it back in the safe." Hime: "Yeah, it's no use having it during work." Sumika: "Wait, Kanoko-chan. I thought it was just me you couldn't talk to." Sumika: "Are you actually unable to talk to anyone other than Hime-chan?" Hime: "Huh?" Sumika: "Never mind. I guess it all makes sense. Looking forward to working with you today!" Hime: "Kanoko, one sec." Hime: "You couldn't talk again, huh?" Kanoko: "It's fine! She understood what I was saying." Hime: "Did you thank her for holding on to your phone?" Kanoko: "Oh..." Hime: "Greetings! Thanks! The basics of a good façade!" Kanoko: "Sorry... But talking to people I don't know makes me so nervous..." Hime: "You have to be able to talk to people other than me! Also, she's not a stranger." Kanoko: "I can't do it like you do. You're so cute, and have a great façade." Hime: "For starters, let's try to talk to the people here naturally." Kanoko: "In order to help Hime-chan, I have to, but..." Kanoko: "Do I really need to be able to talk to the people here?" Mitsuki: "Here is the Blume Nachtisch and your ballot." emale Customer A: "Excuse me, can I have a Blume Nachtisch as well?" emale Customer B: "One for me, as well." Mitsuki: "Yes, understood." Sumika: "Blume, Blume..." Sumika: "Only recently did the rustlings of spring quiet down, and now this. The whole academy is abuzz over the Blume, and I tire of it." Mitsuki: "Tachibana-sama! It's a tradition in this academy! Please act appropriately, Tachibana-sama, especially as a candidate yourself." Sumika: "Oh, how serious you are. You should try to become the Blume yourself, then." Mitsuki: "I... I believe you should be chosen, Tachibana-sama. Your wisdom and demeanor are adored by everyone. It's your duty to become the Blume-sama and live up to everyone's expectations!" Sumika: "Well, well." Sumika: "I do so wish you wouldn't disturb my peace this way." Mitsuki: "Which is all the more reason why you should become Blume-sama, and have a better grasp of your standing." Male Customer A: "Um, one Blume Nachtisch over here, please!" Male Customer B: "Over here, as well!" Kanoko: "Oh, yes..." Hime: "What's up with Yano? She told me to vote for her, but she's pushing for Gyaru-senpai herself?" Hime: "I see. So that's how it is?" Hime: "Thank you for waiting." emale Customer C: "What are your thoughts, Shirasagi-san? About the Blume election, I mean." Hime: "The Blume sounds nice! I'd love to become the Blume-sama." emale Customer C: "Become?" Hime: "Yes, I'd love to become the Blume-sama! It's possible for me, too. Please vote for me!" emale Customer C: "A first-year Blume-sama?! I'd love to see that!" emale Customer D: "One Blume Nachtisch over here, please!" Hime: "Of course I'm going for it! After all, this is a popularity contest!" Hime: "Voting to decide who is the most loved..." Hime: "If there's glory to be won there, I obviously have to aim for number one!" Kanoko: "...Or so she's probably thinking." Kanoko: "Don't worry, I'm rooting for you. Hime-chan's always number one, after all." Sumika: "Shirasagi-san." Hime: "Huh?" Sumika: "You seem very eager yourself." Hime: "Yes! I'm doing my best!" Sumika: "In that case, could you speak with Ayanokouji-san? You can tell her that you'll do all the work, so she can let Tachibana-senpai off the hook." Hime: "But, Onee-sama has a point. I have to ask you to listen to her." Sumika: "Playing hard-to-get, first-year?" Sumika: "You could try occasionally betraying your sister to be nice to me, you know." Mitsuki: "Just a moment, Tachibana-sama?!" Customers: "Huh? Amamiya-san?" Sumika: "I was joking. Please don't give me that look." Customers: "Jealousy? Was she jealous?" Sumika: "Here. Careful not to lose it again, okay?" Sumika: "Did I do anything to deserve that glare?" Kanoko: "I didn't think she was the type to get in my way, but... What is this? I don't like it." Hime: "Kanoko can be kind of shy." Kanoko: "So it's a relief that it wasn't a stranger who found it." Hime: "Right, Kanoko?" Kanoko: "Huh?! That's not why I can't talk right now! It's because she's trying to mess with Hime-chan... She's kind of dangerous." Hime: "Come on, Kanoko!" Sumika: "Don't worry about it. For Kanoko-chan, what's most important is talking to Hime-chan, right?" Kanoko: "No, that's not it. She's not looking at Hime-chan... She's looking at me?" Kanoko: "In the salon, she seemed to be messing with Hime-chan after looking at me. It's almost like she knows my feelings..." Kanoko: "This is normal, right?" Kanoko: "It's just photos of a friend. Did she see them? Did I have too many? That's how she figured it out?!" Mai: "Good work, everyone! Keep it up! Let's make this more and more exciting!" Mai: "Starting today, we'll tally votes after closing. Everyone, to the salon." Hime: "Yes!" Sumika: "Mai-san, why don't the rest of us count the votes, so these two can spend time reading the book?" Sumika: "I want them to learn the theme as soon as possible." Mai: "Oh, sounds good!" Sumika: "What do you think, Kanoko-chan?" Kanoko: "Yes." Sumika: "Okay, go ahead, then." Hime: "Kanoko." Kanoko: "Oh, thank... Thank you." Kanoko: "For finding my phone." Sumika: "The phone? Right." Hime: "Nice!" Kanoko: "Does she know?" Kanoko: "But she did make time for me to be alone with Hime-chan, at the end..." Kanoko: "Maybe she's not trying to get in my way, but..." Kanoko: "Yes! I feel better now!" Kanoko: "I've only started reading this, but I found a phrase that fits us perfectly, Hime-chan." Kanoko: ""There is little we can do while keeping this love a secret." Kanoko: "The only thing we can touch is a lock of each other's hair. But my heart races, as if grasped by you."" Kanoko: "I won't let anyone get in our way, Hime-chan." Sumika: "I guess I didn't even have to test her." Sumika: "Oh?" Sumika: "Salutations! You're early! What's up? It's rare, seeing you alone. You're always a duo." Sumika: "What's wrong? Don't ignore me." Sumika: "This is just chit-chat." Hime: "You thought she was a stranger?!" Kanoko: "I mean... Who would guess someone dressed like that would be Tachibana-san?" Hime: "Huh? She's always like this." Kanoko: "I've never seen her out of the Liebe uniform..." Hime: "Ah. I guess I had a strong first impression, but this is the first time after that for me as well. Well, as you can see, she's a gyaru-senpai, but you were okay with her until now, so..." Kanoko: "I thought she was, like, more modest. She's always reading at the salon, and she wears glasses..." Hime: "Well, she does wear glasses, but that's a stereotype..." Sumika: "These glasses are fake." Hime: "Really? I thought you wore them to read while at the salon." Sumika: "I'm not reading." Hime: "Huh?" Sumika: "At the salon, I'm just holding a book open." Sumika: "It makes me look more like an intellectual senpai that way, right?" Hime: "I guess so." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan..." Sumika: "is avoiding me pretty blatantly." Sumika: "Am I really that scary?" ene: "Oh, you're all here?" Sumika: "Salutations, Nene-san." ene: "Hello. Well, here's a message from the kitchen." ene: ""The Blume Nachtisch is selling faster than expected. At this rate, we might not be able to defrost them fast enough. In that case, we need to switch from matcha flavor to cheese flavor. Please let the guests know."" Sumika: "Understood." Mai: "Nice, nice! It means things are going well!" ene: "Mai-san. We're running out of ballots, as well." Mai: "I'll be sure to make more. I've opted out of the race this time due to my injury, so I can concentrate on backstage work." Hime: "Ugh." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, will you vote for Hime-chan?" Kanoko: "Isn't it obvious?" Sumika: "Hime-chan is aiming to become the Blume, right?" Hime: "Yes! Becoming the Blume sounds nice." Sumika: "Oh, if you're so eager, maybe I'll vote for you, too?" Hime: "Really? Thank you!" Kanoko: "I'll vote for Hime-chan, so you don't have to bother!" Sumika: "Thought so." Kanoko: "Again... She's messing with me using Hime-chan." Mai: "You three! Please save those conversations for the salon!" Kanoko: "What is she trying to do?" Sumika: "Were you just looking at me?" Kanoko: "And she's actually a gyaru, too... I'm extra scared of her now." Mitsuki: "Thank you for your order." Hime: "Enjoy your stay!" Kanoko: "She's slacking off, right? She's not even reading that book. People think she's well-read or something, but she's just an insincere gyaru..." Sumika: "Hey, you first-years. Do you like reading books?" Hime: "I don't read much, no." Hime: "I enjoy talking to people more. Reading feels too suffocating for me." Sumika: "Suffocating... I see. But what if you thought about it this way?" Sumika: "Books contain new places, new knowledge, and new lives, right? There is an entire world within each book, and you get to spend your time freely in them. It's neither lonely nor suffocating." Hime: "She's..." Sumika: "The inside of a book is a vast space. Bigger than this tiny academy." emale Customer E: "With her composure, she truly deserves to be Blume-sama!" Hime: "Big talk for someone who doesn't even read, huh?!" Sumika: "What about you, Amamiya-san? Do you read?" Sumika: "I wanted to recommend this to you, Amamiya-san." Sumika: "It's a romance story about a British mid-level aristocrat. The classism breeds a snobbish atmosphere," Sumika: "and the sarcasm of it all is very funny." Kanoko: "What if a customer read that same book? She can't just make stuff up like that. What is she doing?" Hime: "Um, Kanoko does read books. Right?" Sumika: "Maybe I stepped in too far." Hime: "Kanoko, are you okay?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan!" Hime: "I'm sorry. Is it really that hard talking to Tachibana-san?" Kanoko: "No! I'll try harder. She's a gyaru, but..." Kanoko: "She's scary, but... I'll try to be able to talk to her..." Hime: "Something's off." Kanoko: "Huh?" Hime: "Tachibana-san isn't a bad gyaru." Kanoko: "But she is a gyaru, right?" Hime: "Yeah, but..." ene: "Hey. If you're talking about Sumika, cut it out. Don't talk behind her back." Hime: "I'm sorry..." Kanoko: "Were we talking behind her back?" ene: "Also, if you don't usually see how Sumika is outside of work, isn't it because she starts work before any of you, and keeps working even after you leave?" Sumika: "What's up? Are we out of Blumenachs already?" ene: "We're still good." Sumika: "Got it. How's the alcohol for Table 7 coming?" ene: "Coming right up." Hime: "Should I carry it?" Sumika: "The upperclassmen are supposed to handle the booze. If I don't notice it, call me." Mai: "Sumika-san, take care of these ballots, please." Kanoko: "She was right about the plot." Kanoko: "Her review seems right, too." Sumika: "Piqued your interest? I knew it! You're a reader too, aren't you? If you haven't read it yet, I really recommend it. Love that starts from the worst first impression. It's cliché, but that makes it easy to get into. For some reason, they made it into a zombie movie too, and... Oh." Sumika: "Well, that was the kind of thing I wanted to chat with you about." Kanoko: "How do you know?" Kanoko: "You didn't read the book, right?" Sumika: "Oh, I meant I don't read at the salon. If I actually read there, I wouldn't be able to get any work done." Sumika: "The only books I open in the salon are ones I've already read." Kanoko: "Tachibana-san, you're—" Sumika: "Chibana." Kanoko: "Huh?" Sumika: "Sumika Chibana is my real name. So outside of work, it'd be nice if you'd call me Chibana or Sumika." Kanoko: "Tachibana-san, you're..." Kanoko: "After finding my phone, you've kept talking to me." Kanoko: "What are you trying to do?" Sumika: "I'm just trying to be friendly, is all." Kanoko: "I see." Sumika: "Yes! So relax and be more friendly." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, did you decide to read as well?" Hime: "I should do some of my own reading, too. I feel bad for Gyaru-senpai." Hime: "She's doing extra work to give us the time." Kanoko: "Maybe Tachibana-san... isn't all that scary."

Sumika: "I already know." Goeido: "Oh." Goeido: "It's not nice, interfering with other people's romance." Sumika: "Here at the salon, we students get along very well. And I don't mean in a fictional sense." Hime: "One order of Blume Nachtisch, Kochsalami, and Weißbier. Will that be all?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, I'll set the table." Hime: "Thanks, Kanoko." Mitsuki: "Hime, I'll hand out the ballot sheet." Hime: "Thank you very much, Onee-sama." Sumika: "Our actual friendship is what makes this place work." Sumika: "I'm so glad to see my cute kohais hard at work." Hime: "Onee-sama! Did you see? I'm starting to learn how to do the work, too!" Mitsuki: "Yes, it's wonderful. I'm sure the visitors will appreciate your efforts, as well." Hime: "Yes!" Sumika: "Yano-chan and Hime-chan both have a good look on their faces." Hime: "I'm trying so hard, so... Onee-sama, you'll vote for me too, right?" Mitsuki: "That's a separate matter." Mitsuki: "A Blume-sama needs to have a proper air about her." Hime: "A-Air?" Mitsuki: "A pure beauty, one that can be a representative of our academy." Hime: "Erm, uh... Right..." Sumika: "Ayanokouji-san doesn't change." Kanoko: "Hime-chan." Hime: "Hmm?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, I support your run for Blume!" Hime: "Thanks, Kanoko." Sumika: "She's always watching Hime-chan, and not looking at anything else. I thought she was a timid friend, but no." Sumika: "She's bringing romance into this place." Sumika: "Amamiya-san, you're rooting for Shirasagi-san, right?" Kanoko: "Yes." Sumika: "It's hard for a first-year to become Blume. I'm sure she appreciates your support." Sumika: "Amamiya-san, you're... A very caring friend." Kanoko: "Yes. Hime-chan is my friend, so if I can help her, that will make me happy as well." Hime: "Kanoko, you're going to vote for me, right?" Kanoko: "Yes." Hime: "Great! In that case, should I vote for you, Kanoko?" Kanoko: "Huh?! No, I... I don't want to become Blume-sama." Hime: "Really? We should aim for it together." Sumika: "It's good to see the first-years getting along." Sumika: "But, Shirasagi-san..." Sumika: "You should consider voting for your onee-sama. See how Ayanokouji-san is sulking over there?" Mitsuki: "T-Tachibana-sama?! There's no way I—" Sumika: "Oh my, but you said it yourself. That, as your sister, she should vote for you." Mitsuki: "I did say as much, but..." Mitsuki: "Hime can vote for whomever she wishes!" Mitsuki: "Besides, I believe it's you, Tachibana-sama, who should be Blume-sama." Hime: "I understand. Onee-sama, you don't support me." Mitsuki: "L-Like I said, the Blume-sama is a representative of our school... As a first-year, it's too early for you..." Mitsuki: "So..." Hime: "Now!" Hime: "Am I unworthy?" Hime: "I'm trying very hard. But if my onee-sama won't support me, I'll be so sad." Mitsuki: "Oh!" Mitsuki: "You're such a selfish girl!" Sumika: "They're such good sisters. It would be lovely to see them as Blume Schwestern. I see why you want to support Shirasagi-san." Customer: "Shirasagi-san, good luck! Both of you are great candidates for Blume!" Mitsuki: "Now, Hime, back to work with you." Hime: "Huh? Did you finish reading already?" Kanoko: "Yes, I read it at home too." Hime: "What? I'm still on volume one." Hime: "If I read the whole thing, would that really make me understand the theme?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan, do you understand what the sisters... Schwestern relationship really means?" Hime: "Don't ask me... Isn't it just sort of like a friendly pair?" Kanoko: "That makes sense." Hime: "Right? If you're already done, what are you going to do? Gonna leave early?" Kanoko: "I’ll wait for you." Kanoko: "I have some business to take care of, anyway." Hime: "Business?" Sumika: "I can see now, after talking to her. She's not timid at all. When Hime-chan is involved, she's very impulsive. There's no telling what she'll do." Sumika: "I'm so glad you asked to talk to me. You can count on me for anything. In fact, wanna stop by WcD's after this?" Kanoko: "No, thank you." Sumika: "Haha... So, what is it that you wanted to ask me?" Kanoko: "What is this "Schwestern" thing, anyway? I read A Maiden's Heart. I need more specifics. How is it being interpreted here in this café?" Sumika: "Simulated sisterhood... Partners that support each other... A soft relationship bound by a resilient bond... I guess?" Kanoko: "That's too abstract." Sumika: "Well, if you overthink it, it interferes with work." Sumika: "It's not a romantic relationship." Sumika: "We're not asking you to pretend to be lovers, or actually be in love. Fighting is bad, though. So Kanoko-chan, you can hop on the Schwestern train too, y'know. That said, I'm the only one available." Kanoko: "I understand. If I can't be with Hime-chan, it's of no use to me." Kanoko: "So it's not such a strong relationship after all." Kanoko: "Why does Hime-chan want to be sisters with that person?" Sumika: "Probably because they're close. They became friends really quickly. That's the ideal sisterhood—" Kanoko: "I am Hime-chan's only friend." Sumika: "See? That's what I'm talking about." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, I understand that you're just worried about your friend, but... If you're too possessive, Hime-chan might not like that." Sumika: "What part of that is "friendship"?" Sumika: "Huh? Wait... Kanoko-chan? Don't cry... Why? From just that?" Sumika: "That's not fair. Now I can't say anything..." Kanoko: "...e-chan." Sumika: "Huh?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan." Sumika: "What was that?" Sumika: "I already know." Goeido: "It's not nice, interfering with other people's romance." Sumika: "I know what happens when romance gets brought into this place." Sumika: "Here at the salon, we students get along very well." Sumika: "Our actual friendship is what makes this place work." Sumika: "But that's...." Sumika: "so easy to break." Sumika: "I won't let anyone break it again." Kanoko: "That was a lot of work today." Hime: "Yeah, I'm so tired." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, if you're going to bring romance into this place..." Sumika: "If you're going to try to break this place apart..." Sumika: "I have to stop you." Mai: "Mid-election results!" Hime: "Yay!" Mai: "Only one week remains in the Blume election season! Today, we'll be revealing the results so far!" Hime: "May I see?" Mai: "Of course. I'll post them in the salon, so please discuss them openly." Hime: "Yes! I was looking forward to seeing the numbers!" Hime: "Why am I in last place?!" Mai: "Hime-chan, you worked very hard. You performed admirably as the little sister." Hime: "This... What... Huh?" Mai: ""What a beautiful sisterhood they have." "I hope they become Blume Schwestern." Many visitors thought that, I'm sure. As a result, all of the votes went to the onee-sama." Hime: "Why?! Maybe I'm not cut out to be Blume-sama." Mai: "Well, I think your character isn't really the type to typically become Blume-sama. You're cute, but not calm." Mai: "You work hard, but you're still inexperienced. You're the ideal little sister of the Blume-sama." Mitsuki: "See? I told you so. It's your fault that I'm ahead of Sumika-san." Mai: "Hold on! Mitsuki-san, I don't think it's just Hime-chan's work. I think you're getting appreciation for the work that you do yourself. After becoming Schwestern with Hime-chan, you're doing really well, Mitsuki-san." Mitsuki: "Th-Thank you." Mitsuki: "Wh-What? I wasn't trying to beat you or anything..." Hime: "It is what it is. I can't help it. I'll give up trying to becoming Blume." Mai: "If Mitsuki-san wins, Hime-chan can still become Blume Schwester. That works too, right? I'm looking forward to that." Hime: "Yes..." Hime: "Huh? Wait, what?" Mai: "Let's all get ready. Let's do our best to make the salon a great place today, too!" Kanoko: "What's wrong, Hime-chan?" Hime: "Um..." Kanoko: "You wanted to be Blume this whole time. You're settling for the Blume Schwester?" Hime: "I wouldn't put it that way." Hime: "It's like, I'm okay if Yano becomes Blume." Kanoko: "But you want to be number one, right?" Hime: "Yano used to be so bad at using a façade. But now, she does it as part of work, and she gets praised for it." Hime: "If I think of it that way, I don't feel so bad. In fact, it kinda makes me happy. Or, I guess..." Hime: "Maybe this is what the sister pair thing is all about. Hey, Kanoko—" Kanoko: "Tachibana-san!" Kanoko: "Tachibana-san, please become Blume!" emale Customer A: "Ayanokouji-san, congratulations on being the current frontrunner!" emale Customer B: "You're going head-to-head with Tachibana-san. Congratulations!" Mitsuki: "Thank you. I never thought I would be able to be on the same level as Tachibana-sama." Mitsuki: "I'll challenge her and hope to learn from the experience." Mitsuki: "Still, this puts me in a bind. I personally am supporting Tachibana-sama." emale Customer A: "We know!" emale Customer B: "We support you just the way you are!" Male Customer A: "Shirasagi-san was really motivated, so it's really too bad." Mitsuki: "Yes..." Mitsuki: "Hime." Mitsuki: "Don't be too disappointed, all right?" Hime: "No, I'm not disappointed. I was thinking that maybe it's not me..." Hime: "but you who is more suited to become Blume." Mitsuki: "Really? But you wanted to become Blume so very much..." Hime: "Of course, I still do feel a desire for the title. But the thought of my onee-sama becoming Blume makes me happy, as if it's my own achievement." Hime: "So I'd like to spend the rest of the election period supporting you, Onee-sama." Hime: "Okay, time to get back to work!" Mitsuki: "Why me?! Stop meddling and support Tachibana-san!" Hime: "Huh?!" Hime: "You're the one that told me to vote for you, Yano! And now that I'm committing to it, you're against it?!" Sumika: "Me, Blume? What do you mean?" Kanoko: "At this rate, Hime-chan and that person will become Blume Schwestern." Sumika: "Yeah, that's right. But that would have been the same if Hime-chan became Blume herself, right?" Kanoko: "No, that's not it. This is wrong. I'll give you my own vote, so Tachibana-san, please become Blume." Sumika: "You're right. I can still win, as long as I have all of the students' votes. My own, then yours, Kanoko-chan, probably Yano-chan's too, and Mai-san might be willing to help too, if I asked." Sumika: "Our own votes would change the results significantly. Kanoko-chan, you understand the system very well." Sumika: "That being said..." Sumika: "Why would I listen to you, when you haven't explained yourself at all?" Kanoko: "You said I can rely on you for anything." Kanoko: "That's my wish. Please help me." Sumika: "Seriously, Kanoko-chan, you're such a..." Sumika: "Fine, but I have a request for you, too. If you'll grant me my wish..." Sumika: "I'll turn this around, starting today." Kanoko: "Yes!" Sumika: "This is the end, Kanoko-chan." Sumika: "Getting so emotional about the person you love... Being so jealous of a pretend sisterhood..." Sumika: "All that ends here." Sumika: "Before our relationships are destroyed." Kanoko: "Hime-chan." Kanoko: "Hime-chan, you're no longer trying to become Blume-sama, right?" Hime: "Yes, that's the intent." Kanoko: "In that case, I won't vote for you anymore, okay?" Hime: "Oh, then, could you vote for my onee-sama instead? If you supported someone, you might—" Kanoko: "I won't!" Hime: "What? Why? Are you opting out of the Blume election?" Sumika: "That's not it, Shirasagi-san." Sumika: "Amamiya-san wants to decide on her own who to support. A suitable person for herself, just as you support Ayanokouji-san." Kanoko: "I... I..." Kanoko: "I think Tachibana-san is the most suitable candidate for Blume-sama!" Sumika: "Amamiya-san has been pushing me to go for Blume for some time, now. She didn't have a chance to express her thoughts... But now, she's finally mustered up the courage." emale Customer C: ""For some time"?!" emale Customer D: ""Finally"?!" emale Customer C: "I knew something was going on between the two of them!" Sumika: "Well, if my cute little kohais are cheering me on, I suppose I must respond." Male Customer B: "I'll vote for Tachibana-san!" emale Customer C: "Yes! I support the two of you!" Sumika: "There. That should do the trick." Hime: "Oh, I see. In that case, you should support Tachibana-senpai. I didn't know you put so much thought into it." Sumika: "Are you glad she was okay with it, Kanoko-chan?" Kanoko: "Yes. I'm glad I relied on you, Tachibana-san!" Hime: "You should have told me sooner, Kanoko!" Kanoko: "Thank you for today." Kanoko: "I think we can gather more votes for you now, Tachibana-san." Sumika: "You're welcome. That changed the flow, right?" Kanoko: "Yes. So now it's my turn to hear your request, right?" Kanoko: "What is your request, Tachibana-san?" Sumika: "Right." Sumika: "My request... I've been meaning to ask you for so long. But maybe I don't need to anymore." Sumika: "If this is the extent of it..." Sumika: "If Kanoko-chan just loves Hime-chan, but won't do anything about it..." Sumika: "Oh, what I meant was..." Sumika: "Yeah, never mind." Kanoko: "So, can I rely on you some more?" Sumika: "Sure, sure." Kanoko: "If you become Blume, you can make a rule, right? Please use that right to abolish the Schwestern." Sumika: "Huh?" Kanoko: "I think that would let Hime-chan come back. Hime-chan has been behaving weirdly this whole time..." Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, you really understand this whole thing very well." Sumika: "Where our "center" is. What you should destroy and how to make it all fall apart." Sumika: "You're in love with Hime-chan, aren't you? That's why you're jealous of their sisterhood!" Sumika: "You're going to stop all of that."

Sumika: "You're going to stop all of that." Sumika: "Give up on Hime-chan." Kanoko: "So that's how it is, after all." Kanoko: "Tachibana-san, you're the type that interferes." Sumika: "Hey, Kanoko-chan!" Sumika: "Kanoko-chan, I'm going to make you give up!" Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "H-Huh?" Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." Kanoko: "Hime-chan..." Girl: "Oh, I'm so hungry." Boy: "You shouldn't have finished your lunch early!" Hime: "Hey, about that thing yesterday, I was thinking." Hime: "Why don't we all make a celebration video together?" Girl A: "Hime-chan, that's awesome!" Hime: "All of us can work on it together." Girl B: "Yeah! And it won't go away." Girl C: "Hamako, weren't you good at that type of thing? Editing on a computer and stuff." Girl A: "I'm okay at it, too!" Girl C: ""Okay" is right!" Girl A: "Shut up!" Kanoko: "Those are my classmates." Hime: "I like how this is going." Girl C: "Guys, opinions please! Everyone's in on this!" Kanoko: "They're all "good kids."" Boy A: "What a pain." Girls: "Stop complaining!" Kanoko: "All in a group, so free, enjoying life." Students: "Where's a good place to film? Should we take the final shot all together? That's so cool!" Hime: "Let's all make a great celebration together! We can do it!" Kanoko: "Everyone... I hate them all." Kanoko: "They take up space, because they're a big group." Kanoko: "I have my own space." Kanoko: "A place of my own, away from prying eyes." Hime: "Oh, there you are." Boy: "Chiaki-sensei, congratulations... Ow, ow..." Boy B: "On your marriage!" Girl B: "Hey, check this out." Girl B: "Good recording, right, Hime-chan?" Hime: "Oh, show me!" Girl C: "What is this? Too much fooling around!" Girl A: "Hey, guys? Come on." Kanoko: "Hime Shiraki-san. The cutest, most "good kid" of them all." Hime: "Everyone has different ideas, huh? I'm gonna record something, too!" Girls: "Hey, wait! I'm not ready yet!" Kanoko: "Always laughing with everyone, likes and is liked by everyone." Girls: "Look, sensei's watching. Say your congratulations. It's too sudden!" Kanoko: "She saw. Will she tell on me? Because she's a "good kid"? Will I be told I can't be there anymore?" Girl A: "Uh, Chiaki-sensei, congratulations on your marriage... Uh, um... Wait! Give me a re-do!" Hime: "That was okay, I think." Girl A: "C'mon! Hime-chan, that one was a mistake!" Boy B: "Mamiya-san." Boy B: "You have a moment?" Girl D: "Have you decided what to do for the video? We'd like to know." Kanoko: "Video?" Hime: "Oh! Mamiya-san, we're congratulating Chiaki-sensei on her wedding. We were saying we should make a video together." Hime: "Sorry! I never told Mamiya-san." Girl D: "Oh, okay. So Mamiya-san hasn't decided yet. Think about it, okay?" Kanoko: "Making... a video?" Hime: "Yes! We're all gonna do something, or say our congrats, and then we'll put it all together into one video." Hime: "Join us, Mamiya-san! It's a class-wide event." Kanoko: "I don't care about the teacher getting married. But..." Kanoko: "Yeah..." Kanoko: "How can I say no to that, when she claims it's a class-wide event?" Kanoko: "I'll do something..." Kanoko: "Celebration? The "good kids" can do that on their own. Oh, so that's why Shiraki-san came to the roof area. She wanted to tell me about the video, but I wasn't in the classroom." Kanoko: "I see." Kanoko: "Then she shouldn't show up there anymore." Hime: "That looks like a good spot for a relaxing lunch!" Kanoko: "From then on, Shiraki-san came by every day." Hime: "Aren't you going to go outside? It seems nice." Kanoko: "It's locked." Hime: "Ah." Kanoko: "Is it because she's a "good kid"? Does she pity how lonely I am?" Hime: "I'll go have lunch, too. See ya!" Kanoko: "I really don't need that stuff." Girl D: "Hey, Mamiya-san." Girl D: "Sorry to bug you, but could you make the signboard for the video?" Kanoko: "Huh?" Boy B: "There's a shot at the end of the video with the whole class. We need it for that." Girl D: "Something like, "Congratulations on your wedding!" on a flashy frame, as a sign-type thing." Boy B: "We've already come up with the design." Kanoko: "It has to be me?" Girl D: "I mean, you're the only one who's not doing anything, so please?" Kanoko: "Shiraki-san? Yeah, I did say I'd do something, but..." Girl D: "C'mon, please." Kanoko: "Um... Okay... I'll do it." Girl D: "Thanks! I'm so glad you're good at this type of thing, Mamiya-san." Kanoko: "Huh? She's mistaking me for someone else." Boy B: "Thanks." Kanoko: "I'm not good at this at all." Boy B: "Ask us anything if you need us." Girl B: "I got it! The chestnut danish." Girl A: "Thanks." Girl C: "How's the video coming?" Girl A: "We're talking about where to shoot the last shot." Girl D: "We should decide soon. Let's talk about it over lunch." Girls: "Got it! Let's all take a break!" Hime: "If you don't want to, you should say so." Kanoko: "Huh?" Hime: "If you don't like something, you need to say so. Otherwise, we won't know." Hime: "If you don't speak out, it's like it never happened." Kanoko: "It's nothing. There's nothing I particularly dislike." Hime: "Mamiya-san, you're a "good kid"." Kanoko: "What's her problem?" Kanoko: "She's got it wrong. It's people like Shiraki-san who are the "good kids"." Kanoko: "She's the last person I ever want to hear that from." Students: "Let's go! Thanks for waiting! Let's go home. I'm starving! What's going on after this? How about karaoke near the station? Let's go hang out." Girl D: "Wow, it's finished! Thanks, Mamiya-san. Sorry to make you work so fast. That's good enough, so go ahead and put it on the frame now." Kanoko: "Huh? But it's still..." Girl D: "Don't worry about the details. Besides, look." Girl D: "We're going to use that sign tomorrow." Girl D: "By the way, did you hear where we're filming? We got permission to film the group shot on the roof." Kanoko: "The roof..." Girl D: "Mamiya-san, make sure you'll be there too!" Girl A: "Hime-chan, are you coming?" Girl A: "Hime-chan?" Hime: "Coming!" Kanoko: "H-Huh?" Kanoko: "No, I..." Girls: "What's this? It's over." Girls: "We have to make this again." Girl A: "Mamiya-san!" Girl D: "Look at this!" Girl D: "Isn't this terrible? They found it by the stairs to the roof!" Girl A: "After all the hard work Mamiya-san put in..." Kanoko: "Huh?" Girl B: "It has to be someone who knew about the video shoot!" Girl C: "This is unforgivable." Girl: "It's so horrible." Kanoko: "Shiraki-san didn't tell anyone? She's helping me?" Kanoko: "So, if I just stay silent..." Girl A: "Mamiya-san?" Kanoko: "If I don't speak out..." Girl D: "Hey, Mamiya-san?" Hime: "If you don't speak out, it's like it never happened." Girls: "She worked so hard on this! Who did this, seriously?!" Kanoko: "I broke it!" Kanoko: "I never wanted to make this!" Girl D: "Huh?" Girl A: "What? What are you talking about?" Girl B: "You did this yourself?" Boy A: "And you didn't want to make it...?" Girl D: "Why would you say that now?" Girl C: "Hey, Mamiya-san!" Hime: "Wait, no!" Hime: "Mamiya-san was with me yesterday, so she couldn't have done this!" Kanoko: "Huh?" Hime: "Yesterday, after school, Mamiya-san showed me the finished sign, and we went straight home." Kanoko: "What?" Hime: "It was fine then!" Kanoko: "What is she saying?" Hime: "Then I met up with Shiho-chan, right?" Girl A: "Oh, right, yeah..." Hime: "I was with Mamiya-san until then." Kanoko: "Shiraki-san is lying." Girl D: "Then Mamiya-san's lying?" Kanoko: "But she's still the same "good kid"." Boy B: "I guess so?" Girl: "Why would she lie about that?" Hime: "Just stay quiet. I'll explain later." Boy: "That's..." Hime: "I think Mamiya-san's trying to settle this by taking the fall for it. She's like that, isn't she?" Hime: "We should stop trying to find out who did it." Hime: "Let's stop accusing each other!" Girl A: "Yeah, I guess there's nothing we can do even if we find out who did it." Boy B: "Should we re-make the frame?" Girl D: "Can we make it in time?" Boy A: "Hey, we'll help." Boy C: "We still have our lunch break, so we should be fine." Girls: "Yeah." Hime: "Thank you! If we all work together, I'm sure we can finish in time!" Kanoko: "I think I get it now." Kanoko: "Could it be that Shiraki-san..." Kanoko: "Is always lying?" Hime: "Let's talk on the rooftop. Come on." Kanoko: "Wait, how do you have the key?" Hime: "I borrowed it, for the video." Hime: "They trust me." Kanoko: "That's why..." Hime: "Yeah, that's why. Everyone believed what I said this morning, too. Not what you said, but what I said." Hime: "Mamiya-san, you suck at using a façade." Kanoko: "A façade?! You mean, this "good kid" act?!" Kanoko: "Gritting your teeth to be friends with others." Kanoko: "Gritting your teeth to put up with others." Kanoko: "That's what you do, isn't it?!" Kanoko: "I..." Kanoko: "I hate those types of people! They're so insensitive and arrogant! Always so righteous and "good"!" Kanoko: "And they take away the spaces where I can be! Always! Everyone!" Hime: "See? I knew you had stuff you didn't like." Hime: "You kept that to yourself, gritting your teeth, right?" Kanoko: "Those are my classmates. They're all "good kids."" Kanoko: "All in a group, so free, enjoying life." Kanoko: "Everyone... I hate them all." Kanoko: "But..." Kanoko: "Shiraki-san wasn't one of them." Hime: "Mamiya-san, everyone's so terrible to you. But you're always just taking it, being the "good kid," so I was worried." Hime: "I was annoyed by how you didn't push back." Kanoko: "I did. But it didn't work." Hime: "Yeah, that was a terrible execution!" Kanoko: "What?!" Hime: "You broke the sign, and I kept it a secret, but you confessed!" Kanoko: "Shiraki-san, you're so different from usual." Hime: "I know, right?" Hime: "Mine is the most perfect, cutest façade." Hime: "I'm going to use this cuteness to become loved by everyone!" Hime: "I'm not going to grit my teeth to put up with everyone. Everyone's gonna want me! That's what I'm working so hard for." Hime: "I'm not going to settle for being "the good kid"!" Kanoko: "Shiraki-san is different." Hime: "So, Mamiya-san, maybe you could figure out how to..." Kanoko: "She's part of the group, but different from all the others. Yeah. I'll stop being the silent "good kid."" Kanoko: "I won't put up with it." Hime: "Also! Make sure to keep my façade a secret, okay?" Kanoko: "I know." Hime: "Someone told on me once. It was terrible. I wasn't going to tell anyone because of that. You're the only one who knows, Mamiya-san." Kanoko: "I see. I found out because you helped me." Hime: "Yes!" Hime: "I couldn't stop myself." Hime: "You reminded me of her." Hime: "The person who outed me, I mean." Kanoko: "They were similar to me?" Hime: "In her case, she couldn't stop being honest. But she also had no façade-making skills, and I couldn't leave her alone..." Hime: "Still, she hated me in the end, I think." Kanoko: "I..." Kanoko: "I won't hate you, Shiraki-san!" Hime: "That would be nice. Now that I finally have a friend." Hime: "Let me take a break from my façade when it's just you and me, okay?" Kanoko: "Such pretty eyelashes, impeccable skin... Hair that smells nice, shiny lips, and such a petite face..." Kanoko: "Is this what being drawn in is like?!" Kanoko: "Being cute is awesome." Kanoko: "That's how it all began for us." Kanoko: "From that day on, I've been Hime-chan's one and only friend." Kanoko: "The only special person." Kanoko: "Hello?! Hime-chan?!" Hime: "Hey, Kanoko. Sorry, I was in the bath. Something happen?" Kanoko: "Oh, nothing... I just wanted to hear your voice. That's all." Hime: "Really? You seem kind of tired or something." Kanoko: "Huh? Really?" Hime: "You tend to let those things pile up. Make sure you vent if you need to, okay?" Kanoko: "Yeah..." Kanoko: "All right, see you tomorrow. Good night, Hime-chan." Mitsuki: "Mamiya-san?" Mitsuki: "What are you doing out here?" Kanoko: "No, I..." Kanoko: "I'm going home." Kanoko: "We're nothing alike." Mitsuki: "Huh?" Students: "Congratulations on your wedding!" Hime: "Yay! This turned out so good!" Girl B: "I know, right?" Girl C: "I'm glad we made it in time." Hime: "We worked so hard that I'm sure Sensei will be happy!" Kanoko: "Only I know that her cuteness is a façade." Girl A: "I was worried when we found the broken sign." Girl A: "I'm so sorry we made you make it twice, Mamiya-san." Kanoko: "It's... fine." Kanoko: "You all helped." Girl A: "We should have helped from the start! I'm so mad that someone broke it, though." Kanoko: "I don't mind anymore." Hime: "Mamiya-san, you did it, earlier." Kanoko: "Huh?" Hime: "The façade. You pulled it off." Kanoko: "I just did as you taught me, Shiraki-san." Hime: "If you can keep it up, maybe you won't need me anymore." Kanoko: "Th-That's impossible! The only reason I was able to do it earlier was because I saw your face. I want to be able to help you too." Kanoko: "I need you." Hime: "Okay, give me your phone." Kanoko: "Huh? Phone?" Hime: "Get in closer. Ready?" Hime: "Here. I guess my cuteness can be energizing, so stare at that if you need a boost!" Kanoko: "Her cuteness is a façade," Kanoko: "but her real self is even cuter." Kanoko: "The only person who knows that is..."

Y: "He never fails to surprise me. Ever since I first saw his skating, it's been an unending chain of surprises." Moro: "He's also crushed the free skating event! It will be the fifth consecutive Grand Prix Final victory for Russia's legend, Victor Nikiforov." Moro: "Nikiforov is now 27 years old. Some speculated that he might retire this season, but his masterful performance seems to lay such rumors to rest. As for Katsuki Yuri, who earned a spot in the Grand Prix for the first time, what do you think, Honda-san?" Honda: "Well, he didn't perform like his usual self today." Coach: "Yuri, don't look at the news. Let's go back." Y: ""Katsuki Fell to Last Place. Is This Season His Last?"" Coach: "Yuri..." Y: "My name is Katsuki Yuri! I'm one of the dime-a-dozen top figure skaters certified by the JSF. I'm 23. My name makes me sound strong, but I finished last at my first Grand Prix Final. I still can't accept what happened! I even moved to a training facility in Detroit and worked hard to make it to the final. But the pressure had me binge-eating before the match, and our family dog died... Mentally and physically, I was at my worst! It was supposed to be my big day, too..." Y: "Well, it's all my fault, anyway." Y: "Hello?" Y: "Mom, were you sleeping?" Y: "Sorry." Y: "Oh, you were watching on TV?" Y: "Huh? A public viewing? Please! I'm so embarrassed!" Y: "I'm sorry. I messed up." Y: "Sorry." Y: "The Junior Grand Prix Final gold medalist..." Y: "Yuri Plisetsky. The "Russian Punk"" Y: "is looking at me like I'm a piece of trash... What the hell?!" Yp: "Hey." Yp: "I'm competing in the senior division next year." Yp: "We don't need two Yuris in the same bracket." Yp: "Incompetents like you should just retire already." Yp: "Moron!" Y: "Even if I left the sport, there'd be tons of talented young skaters rising through the ranks." Moro: "Katsuki-kun!" Yuri: "Newscaster Morooka..." Moro: "Don't give up!" Moro: "It's too early for you to retire!" Y: "It's not like I've made a decision. Please don't make assumptions." Moro: "What will you do after you graduate from college?" Y: "Uh..." Moro: "Will you still train in Detroit?" Y: "I'll be talking that over with Coach Celestino." Moro: "Katsuki-kun!" Moro: "I'm asking how you feel about this!" Y: "I don't want to think right now." Moro: "Will you keep going?" Y: "I'm sorry, Vicchan." Moro: "Maybe just part-time? You'll still have a chance back in Japan." Y: "Sorry I can't go home." V: "Yuri. About your free performance, the step sequence could use more—" Yp: "I won, so who cares? Quit nagging, Victor." Y: "Oh, the Yuri on the Russian team..." Jakov: "Hey, Yuri!" Y: "If I do have a chance, someday I'd like to..." Jakov: "You can't talk that way forever!" V: "A commemorative photo?" V: "Sure." Moro: "Katsuki-kun? You don't want a photo with Victor?" Coach: "Yuri!" Y: "This is humiliating. I was an idiot for thinking I could finally meet my idol" Y: "on the same playing field..." Y: "Easy as Pirozhki! The Grand Prix Final of Tears!" Y: "It's been five years since my last visit to Hasetsu." Y: "This old station even has elevated tracks now." Y: "Th-This is..." Minako: "Yuri!" Minako: "Why are you skulking around?" Y: "M-Minako-sensei?!" Minako: "Welcome back, after five long years!" Y: "Wh-Why are you here?" Minako: "Stand up straight, will you?" Y: "Oh, right... Minako-sensei wouldn't miss any info on me coming back here." Locals: "Hey! Isn't that Yuri? Yeah, it's him. I haven't heard any news about him lately. What's he been up to? Remember he lost a big competition last year? Was it the Nationals?" Y: "Hi, everyone who cheered me on just because I'm from Hasetsu! I can't explain this to each of you, but I'll go ahead and explain it in my head, okay? The figure skating competition season generally starts in the fall, but I lost big in the comprehensive Grand Prix Finals early on. I couldn't shake off the failure, and lost again in the Nationals. I didn't make it to the Four Continents or the World Championships, and now the season's over! I managed to graduate from college, but I ended things with my coach, and my future is unclear." Y: "I decided to come home in the meantime. That's about it." Local: "Let me shake your hand." Y: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Minako: "You don't lose anything by shaking hands! Be polite!" Minako: "Victor Nikiforov is always nice to his fans!" Y: "Thank you for your support." Minkao: "Go on, smile." Local: "Who are you again?" Minako: "All right! You're going to greet everyone in town." Y: "Minako-sensei, what about your ballet class?" Minako: "We're closed today. I barely have any students these days, anyway." Minako: "Hasetsu's losing more and more people." Minako: "Hardly any kids are skating these days. You should cheer things up around here, Yuri!" Y: "I-I'm sorry. I'm tired right now..." Minako: "Oh, really?" Minako: "Everyone's been dying to see you." Moro: "After the men's short program of the World Figure Skating Championships, Russia's Victor Nikiforov is in first place. After the Grand Prix Finals, he won the Nationals in Russia, as well as the European Championships." Moro: "He's still on a roll. The men's free program will start later today, at 7:00." Customer: "Yuri-kun isn't in the World Championships?" Ymom: "He didn't make the cut. Thanks to that, he can finally come home!" Customer: "I'm glad to hear that." Y: "I'm back." Minako: "Hiroko! I brought Yuri home!" Y: "Why are we coming in the front?" Ymom: "Minako-senpai! Thank you for going to get him. Yuri, welcome home!" Y: "Thanks. I'm sorry it's been five years..." Ymom: "It's all good! I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your graduation, too. Want a pork cutlet bowl?" Minako: "Huh? Did you lose weight, Hiroko?" Ymom: "Nope! Minako-senpai, you always look the same, even though you drink!" Minako: "Yuri, I've been wondering ever since I saw you at the station... What's with that gut?" Minako: "Take your clothes off!" Y: "No, no! Minako-sensei!" Ydad: "Wow, you look just like your mom." Y: "Dad..." Minako: "Toshio-san! It's no laughing matter! This is not the weight a figure skater should have!" Ydad: "You always did gain weight easily. But what can you do?" Sign 0909: "Eat lots of pork cutlet bowls tonight!" Y: "Uh, before that..." Ymom: "Oh, right. Go say hi to Vicchan." Y: "Sorry I couldn't see you one last time, Vicchan." Ysis: "Yuri, welcome back." Y: "Mari-neechan... It's been a while. Sorry to visit when things are busy." Ysis: "Hey, how long are you staying in Hasetsu? Will you help out with the hot spring?" Y: "Huh? Where's this coming from?" Ysis: "You went to college, even though you had to study an extra year. What will you do now?" Ysis: "If you're going to keep skating, I'll support you, but..." Y: "I think... I need more time to think it over." Ysis: "Hmm, okay." Ysis: "Well, go soak in the hot spring and relax." Y: "I was born and raised in Hasetsu, Kyushu," Y: "a castle town by the sea." Y: "The "castle" has no historical basis and is a facade with a ninja house inside." Y: "Its sole source of tourism income was its hot spring inns, but most went under. My family's Yu-topia Katsuki is the last one standing." Y: "Man, our hot spring sure hits the spot..." Tv: "Group 2 has now finished skating," Minako: "Man, I really wanted to go." Tv: "and Emil Nekola from the Czech Republic is in first." Minako: "If only you'd been in it, Yuri." Tv: "His free program performance, befitting the season finale," Minako: "You could've told me the skaters' hotel room numbers." Tv: "was free of mistakes, earning him a personal best." Y: "I wouldn't tell you!" Tv: "The last group has just entered the arena." Y: "You expect me to be your one-man ticket agency to score you tickets, don't you?" Tv: "All eyes are on Victor Nikiforov," Minako: "That's not true! I've been supporting you!" Tv: "who's going for his fifth consecutive World Championship gold." Tv: "He will be skating last." Tv: "Well, Honda-san, this is certainly unexplored territory!" Honda: "It'll really be interesting to see how far he can go." Customers: "What about soccer? Sagan Tosu's having a match right now." Honda: "When you watch Victor..." Minako: "Hey! I was watching skating first!" Ydad: "Sagan Tosu?" Customers: "Aren't you supposed to be working?" Ymom: "Oh, where are you going, Yuri?" Y: "Sorry. I'm going to practice for a bit." Ymom: "Take care!" Y: "Excuse me." Yuko: "Our regular hours are over." Y: "It's been a while, Yuko-san." Yuko: "Yuri-kun?" Yuko: "Oh, come on! Call me "Yu-chan"!" Y: "S-Sorry." Yuko: "Oh, you came to skate, right? Go ahead." Y: "Huh? I can?" Yuko: "You just want to skate alone for now, right?" Yuko: "I'll protect you." Y: "Thanks." Y: "Yu-chan was my rink mate and two years my senior." Y: "When we were little, she was really good at skating. She was my idol," Y: "the Madonna of Ice Castle Hasetsu." Y: "She's still cute, too." Boyy: "Ta-da!" Girly: "Wow, Yuri-kun!" shi: "Stay out of my way, fatso!" Girly: "Takeshi-kun, don't be mean to the new kid!" shi: "Fatso! Fatso!" Girly: "Hey!" Girly: "Russia's Victor Nikiforov... He won the gold in the Junior Worlds with the highest score in history! He's so cool!" Girly: "Victor would go like this! This says Victor has a poodle. His poodle's super cute!" Y: "Wow, so cute!" Yuko: "Huh? You have a poodle now, too?" Y: "Yeah. I named him "Victor."" Yuko: "You really like Victor, huh?" Yuko: "I hope I can see you compete against Victor soon." Y: "Um, I wanted you to see this," Y: "so I've been practicing it since the competitions ended." Y: "Please watch." Moro: "Last up is Victor Nikiforov from Russia." Minako: "All right, Victor! Get 'em!" Moro: "It's clear he's Russia's hero! The cheers are deafening!" Minako: "Yuri, your favorite, Victor, is about to start!" Moro: "After the short program, he leads Giacometti, in second, by a huge margin." Ymom: "He's not back yet." Yuko: "Huh? This is..." Moro: "In this program, he has four quads planned." Moro: "Here comes the first quad." Moro: "A quadruple Lutz! Very clean!" Moro: "The next quad is his signature move." Moro: "How will it go? A quadruple flip! He lands this one, too!" Moro: "Flying sit spin. The music is "Stay Close to Me."" Minako: "Given that he has a million female fans worldwide," Moro: "This program brings out a new dimension in Victor Nikiforov's performance. he's sure free with his charms." Ymom: "You're drinking too much, Minako-senpai." Minako: "This would tug at the heartstrings more if it were a younger, more naïve man." Minako: "Not a hottie like Victor, but..." Minako: "Let me think..." Moro: "A triple Lutz." Moro: "A triple flip!" Moro: "Now, the last quad..." Moro: "A quadruple toe loop, followed by a triple toe loop! He's landed all his quads!" Moro: "Now, a combination spin!" Yuko: "That was super cool! A perfect copy of Victor! Awesome!" Yuko: "I thought you'd be depressed or something!" Y: "I was. But I got bored of feeling depressed, so I got to thinking..." Y: "I wanted to get my love for skating back." Y: "I thought I could remember how it was when I copied Victor with you." Y: "Yu-chan, I've..." Moro: "We now have a men's singles consecutive five-time winner" Moro: "in the World Figure Skating Championships! The victor is Russia's Victor Nikiforov!" Tv: "What do you have in mind for next season?" Yuri: "I've always..." Sisters: "Stare..." Yuri: "Axel, Lutz, and Loop! Haven't they grown since you last saw them?" Y: "Y-Yeah." Axel: "Yuri, you really did get fat!" Loop: "Are you really retiring?" Lutz: "You've never had a girlfriend?" Yuko: "Hey!" Sis: "Really, really, really?" Yuko: "Sorry, my girls are such groupies!" shigori: "They're all your fans, Yuri." shigori: "Welcome back!" Y: "Nishigori!" Sis: "Dad!" shigori: "Now you're fatter than me." Y: "H-Hey, stop that!" shigori: "You can come any time to practice." shigori: "The Nishigori family's always got your back." Sis: "Yuri, go, go! Lose weight!" Y: "During the five years I was away," Y: "I tried to ignore a lot of things by focusing on skating. I wonder what I need" Y: "so I can keep skating on my own..." Moro: "Here in St. Petersburg, Russia, rising star Yuri Plisetsky is finally gearing up in earnest to join the senior competition. Under coach Yakov," Y: "What's with that jump?" Moro: "the 15-year-old is about to join Victor Nikiforov in" Y: "Whoa, another one?" Moro: "ushering Russia into an era with two champions." Yuri: "Just retire already." Y: "The pressure's on now..." Y: "I've got to skate on the same ice as Victor again someday." Sign 1915: "Huh? Nishigori?" Sign 1915: "What?!" shi: "I-I'm sorry, Yuri. My kids uploaded the video, and it went viral." Yuko: "How could you use my account without permission again?!" Lutz: "But all the skater otaku will love it." Yuko: "Just delete it, okay?!" Y: "Goodnight..." Minako: "What's with that video?! It's being retweeted everywhere!" Moro: "Katsuki-kun, do you really have the time to do things like this?!" Phichit: "Yuri!" Yuri: "That Japanese Yuri is an idiot." Yakov: "Hey, Yuri! Don't slack off!" Weather: "Kyushu faces a sudden cold wave. It was to be a good day for viewing cherry blossoms, but there was a massive snowfall." Ymom: "Yuri, don't hole up in your room! Help shovel snow!" Y: "Snow?" Y: "Wow, what the... It's already April, too. What's on the news?" Y: "Oh, yeah... I turned it off so I wouldn't get calls." Y: "Vicchan?" Y: "Nope!" Y: "He's much bigger than Vicchan..." Y: "Huh? Could he be..." Y: "No, it can't be." Ydad: "Yuri, isn't he just like Vicchan?" Ydad: "He came with a really good-looking foreign guest! He's in the hot spring right now." Ydad: "Yuri!" Ydad: "What's wrong?" Y: "Vi—" Y: "Victor..." Y: "Why are you here?" V: "Yuri, starting today, I'm your coach." V: "I'll make you win the Grand Prix Final." Y: "Huh?" Y: "What?! He was a genius who never failed to surprise me." Yp: "Hey, Victor! We're going back to Russia!" ?: "Hasetsu's great... Come on and visit," Sis: "You can see a boob flash, too!" ?: "just once..." Y: "Uh, no, no, no, no, no!"

V: "In life, you need vacations where you can be yourself, away from your hectic everyday life. When I get away from skating, two "L words" come to mind: life and love." V: "I've been neglecting both for over twenty years." Y: "Gotta Supercharge It!! Pre-Grand Prix Final Special!" V: "Even Barcelona's cold in December." Chris: "I thought, other than me, only a Russian would be stupid enough to get in the pool this time of year." Chris: "I guess I was right." V: "Chris!" Chris: "Hi, Coach Victor!" Chris: "And here I was hoping to go skinny dipping." V: "Don't let me stop you. I'll even take photos for you." V: "My name is Victor Nikiforov." V: "I was kidding about being on vacation. I just arrived in Barcelona, Spain, for the Grand Prix Figure Skating Final. He's Christophe Giacometti from Switzerland." Chris: "Since you left, I'm one of the oldest..." Chris: "And I'm only 25." V: "Nowadays, Chris is sexy both on and off the ice, but when I first met him at the European Championships, he was like a little boy running through the Swiss meadows. I've shared the podium with Chris at many a Grand Prix Final, European Championship, and World Championship. I can't imagine a skating season without him, and he has said that he wouldn't be motivated in a season without me, either. Despite all that, he was savvy enough to make it to the Grand Prix Final." Yakov: "Yuri! At least check yourself in." Yuri: "You do it, Yakov. I'm tired." s: "Yuratchka! Autograph, please! Can I get a photo with you?" Yuri: "You ug—" Lilia: "Yuri Plisetsky, don't use unattractive words." V: "From Russia, we have Yuri Plisetsky." V: "At just 15, he's qualified for the GP Final first thing in his senior debut. He's a tomboy cat under my former coach, Yakov. After visiting Japan, he's been called by his nickname, "Yurio." It's well-known that he has rabid fans called "Yuri's Angels," who appear at every competition." Jjgf: "Wow, he's so popular." Jj: "Yuri's Angels are famous." Jjgf: "Huh... But JJ Girls are better about following the rules, and we're cuter." Yuri: "Don't diss my fans and call them ugly, you ugly-ass bitch!" Jjgf: "So scary. Help, JJ." Jj: "Oh, he's just jealous because my fiancée is so beautiful." V: "I think he's the one named Jean-Jacques Leroy, from Canada. He's a strong gold medal candidate, but he has a certain unapproachable quality the other competitors don't." Yuri: "Any guy who wears sunglasses on his head is scum. Find someone better, ugly-ass bitch!" Jj: "Hey, don't be so uppity." Jjgf: "Scary!" Jj: "Otabek! Where are you going?" O: "Out to eat." V: "Otabek Altin from Kazakhstan, age 18. He rushed into the GP Final at full speed. Ever since he shared the podium with me at Worlds last season, I've sensed a certain presence about him." V: "But people don't know much about his personal life." Jj: "Eating alone? You're still an odd one, huh? Want to join us for dinner?" Ota: "Thanks, but I'll pass." V: "It appears he's not interested in socializing with other skaters." Yuri: "Huh? What's with you, asshole?" Phi: "Yuri's not answering." Phi: "Ugh, I can't wait any longer!" Phi: "I'm going to Sagrada Família!" Ciao: "Just go." Phi: "Okay!" V: "Phichit Chulanont from Thailand. He won the Cup of China, becoming the first Southeast Asian figure skater to qualify for the Grand Prix Final, but I feel he's also peerless when it comes to skillful selfies. He was Yuri's rink mate in Detroit," V: "and Yuri says he's the only foreign skater he considers a friend. And among the six qualifiers for the Final, the last one, who made it by a hair's width," V: "is this jet-lagged sleeping beauty, Katsuki Yuri from Japan." V: "I've come here with him as his coach. After the Rostelecom Cup, Yuri spent his few remaining days until the Final maximizing his practice time. When I think about it, it's already been eight months since I first came to Hasetsu. I can't remember when I last spent this much time with Maccachin. Every day, I've been able to bathe in a bath bigger than any tub," V: "and I can eat all the delicious pork cutlet bowls I want. This is heaven on Earth. Yuri's life and love have taught me about a brand new world that I'd never known before." Y: "Huh? Where's Victor?" Y: "Oh, he's at the pool with Chris." Y: "Oh! Phichit-kun's..." Y: "JJ..." Y: "Yurio... Wow. "Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it," Y: "I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal," huh?" Y: "Help me, Victor." V: "Yuri! I'm freezing! Please draw a hot bath!" Gia: "Yuri, can you make coffee, too?" V: "You were still asleep?" Y: "Whoa! Y-You're freezing! Quit clinging to me! Both of you!" V: "The aggressive jump composition Yuri's planned in order to win includes a quadruple flip, which he's yet to land, as his final free skate jump. If he sticks with his old jumps, even if he skates a flawless program, JJ has a higher base score." Y: "Okay." Jj: "I'm done with practice! Off I go!" Yakov: "Yuri, let's go over it one last time." V: "Yuri, what do you want to do now? I recommend a good night's rest to prepare for tomorrow's short program." Y: "Don't be such a model coach now. This is my first time in Barcelona, so take me sightseeing." V: "Leave it to me!" Yv: "Yeah! Salud! Perfecto!" V: "Yeah! I haven't shopped in ages. This is fun!" Y: "Hey, let me take a breather." V: "I would've liked to shop when the Euro was weaker, though. You don't want anything, Yuri?" Y: "Oh... Nah." V: "Every competitor has a different way of winding down." V: "It's unusual for Yuri to suggest sightseeing." V: "It might mean he's just that nervous this time around." V: "Okay, then... Yuri! I'll buy you a suit for your birthday!" V: "I think you should burn the suit and tie you wore at that press conference." Y: "Huh? Wait, you don't have to! I kind of like that suit!" Y: "Hey, Victor!" s: "Where's Yuratchka? We're about to have a fan meeting." s: "I can smell Yuratchka! It's coming from over here! Oh, this hair is Yuratchka's!" Yuri: "Crap... How do I get myself out of this?" Ota: "Yuri, get on." Yuri: "Huh? You're..." s: "There's Yuratchka! Huh? No way! It's Otabek Altin from Kazakhstan!" Yuri: "Huh? What?" Ota: "Are you coming or not?" V: "I'm sure athletes aren't the only ones who are sensitive" V: "to tailwinds that can take one to worlds unknown. News that the hero of Kazakhstan kidnapped the fairy of Russia spread across the world like wildfire." V: "However, the hero didn't lure the fairy out on a mere whim. Yurio thought they had nothing in common, but five years prior, they had actually trained together at Yakov's summer camp." Yuri: "Really?" Yuri: "I don't remember that!" Ota: "At the time, I was in my first year in the junior division. But I couldn't keep up with the Russian junior skaters," Ota: "so I was put in the novice class. That's where I met you." Ota: "Yuri Plisetsky had the unforgettable eyes of a soldier." Yuri: "A soldier?" Yuri: "Me?" Yuri: "I had just moved my home rink from Moscow to St. Petersburg." Yuri: "I was desperate." Yuri: "I'd decided that I wouldn't complain until I was good enough." Ota: "After that camp, I moved around to train, from Russia to the US and then to Canada." Ota: "I only managed to return to my home rink in Almaty last year." Ota: "Now, more than ever, I want to win the championship for Kazakhstan." Yuri: "Otabek, why did you talk to me? I'm a rival, aren't I?" Ota: "I've always thought we were alike." Ota: "That's all." Ota: "Are you going to become friends with me or not?" V: "Yurio had never been asked to become friends before!" V: "Now, back to the main story where I'm shopping with Yuri. Here, the mood had turned sour!" Y: "It's not here, either." V: "Yuri, calm down and remember. It's the bag of nuts we just bought. It's a brown bag with green print." Y: "Sorry. I have no idea where I dropped it. I'll go back to the shop and get another bag!" V: "It's okay, Yuri." V: "The nuts shop would be closed by now. Let's head back. You're tired, right?" Y: "You don't have to say it like that!" V: "Well, I'm tired." V: "We ended up walking in silence, looking around at the nearby Christmas market." Y: "Victor, your birthday is Christmas Day, right?" V: "Yeah." Y: "What would you like for your gift?" V: "In Russia, we don't celebrate before the actual birthday." V: "We don't really celebrate Christmas, either." Y: "I see." V: "Do you want some hot wine, too?" Y: "Ah, I try not to drink before a competition." V: "Oh, right. When Yuri's searching for an answer," V: "his eyes sparkle, even if he doesn't say anything." V: "He's looking for something right now, like a dowsing rod. I'll just watch over him without making conversation." Y: "Victor!" Y: "Let's go in this store!" Y: "Can you show me these two in front? I've always wanted a lucky charm." Y: "I-It's a lucky charm so that I can do my best in the Final!" Y: "It's also a thank you gift to Victor for all of his help." Y: "This one, please. I'll pay in installments." V: "Sometimes, when backed into a corner, athletes can act completely unexpectedly." Y: "Thank you for everything up to now." Y: "I... I couldn't think of something better." Y: "But, um... I'll try my best from tomorrow on, so... Tell me something for good luck." V: "Sure." V: "I'll say something you won't even have to think about." V: "Tomorrow, show me the skating that you can honestly say you liked best." Y: "Okay!" V: "That's the only shortcut to a gold medal that I know." Y: "I'm hungry." V: "Let's go grab a bite." V: "I have absolute faith in what you decide, Yuri." Minako: "What's wrong, Mari-chan?" Ysis: "Yurio looks like he's enjoying having tea with someone!" Yuri: "Whoa, really?" Minako: "It's Otabek from Kazakhstan!" Y: "Oh, Minako-sensei, Mari-neechan. You're already here." Ysis: "Crap, crap, crap." Ladies: "Yuri, we need a huge favor!" Y: "You're way too happy about this." Minako: "I could just die right now!" Yuri: "Why did we all have to get together?" Minako: "How much should I pay you?" Phi: "Hello, ladies." Y: "Still, it's kind of weird for us all to be here like this" Ysis: "Yurio, have some shrimp! Picture, picture!" Yuri: "Oh, sure." Y: "before the Final starts. At last year's Final, I was always by myself, even at the banquet. I couldn't even talk to Victor." V: "Yuri, you don't remember?" Y: "What?" Chris: "Yuri, you got drunk on champagne and started dancing." Chris: "Everyone saw it." Y: "Huh?!" Yuri: "That was disgusting as hell. I was dragged into a dance-off and got humiliated, too!" Y: "A dance-off? With Yurio?" Chris: "I did mine with a pole dance, half-naked." Y: "I start going off the rails when I drink, just like my Kyushu born-and-bred dad, so I was trying to lay off, but..." V: "The banquet refers to the party held after the competition." V: "Learning proper social skills and etiquette is also important for skaters." Ciao: "What's wrong, Yuri?" V: "Last year, Yuri suffered a crushing defeat in the Final." Ciao: "You look so glum. Have you had anything to drink?" V: "He looked like his coach had dragged him to the banquet." Ciao: "To eat?" Ciao: "There's pizza..." V: "At least, at first. Since he couldn't mingle well with other skaters, he kept drinking champagne, and..." V: "I still have videos of what happened." Chris: "I do, too." Phi: "Wait, what? Yuri, that's so dirty." Ladies: "I want to see!" Y: "Don't look! W-Wait... Cut it out already!" V: "Isn't this amazing?" Chris: "What's with the rings, you two?" Ysis: "Huh? Rings?" Minako: "I don't remember you wearing that." Y: "U-Um, this is..." V: "They're a pair!" Phi: "Congrats on your marriage! Wait, no..." Y: "Um..." Phi: "Everyone! My good friend here got married!" Y: "N-No, this is, um... It's to thank him for all his help..." Y: "And lots of other things... Yes, other things!" V: "Yeah, don't get the wrong idea. This is an engagement ring. We'll get married once he wins a gold medal." Y: "What?" V: "Right, Yuri?" Y: "V-Victor!" Ota: "A gold..." Phi: "...medal..." Chris: "...huh?" Y: "Uh, well, um..." Jj: "Wait a second! I'll be the one who wins gold and gets married, of course!" Jjgf: "That's right, it'll definitely be JJ." Jj: "Sorry we can't congratulate you on that future marriage." V: "Well, tomorrow's an early start. Better call it a night." Jj: "Huh, what?" Jj: "Hey, wait a second." Jj: "I was just joking!" Yuri: "Victor Nikiforov is dead!" Yuri: "Why do you look so happy to be looking after that damn pig?" V: "Did you want to compete against me?" Yuri: "Don't be so full of yourself. Not all skaters look up to you." Yuri: "Just go away already, geezer." Yuri: "The ring you got from that pig is garbage." Yuri: "I'll win just to prove how incompetent his owner is." Yuri: "Let me go!" V: "If I'd stayed in Russia as a competitor, Yurio wouldn't be this motivated to fight." V: "And neither would I..." Yuri: "This place reminds me of Hasetsu's ocean." V: "I thought that, too. Yuri, you may not realize this, but many others besides me got their "L words" from you." Ysis: "Wow!" Ysis: "It feels like it's really happening." Minako: "Mari-chan, take my picture!" Miche: "Sala!" Sala: "Why are you here, Mickey? I'm the one who made it to the Final!" Miche: "I'm standing guard to make sure the hyenas don't touch you!" Emil: "Let's go to a club after this!" Sgl: "Not her again." Leo: "Guang-hong, can you watch it on your end?" Jgh: "Nope, the live stream isn't working for me." Minami: "I'll be the head cheerleader at tonight's public viewing!" Moro: "The Grand Prix Final is here in Barcelona, Spain! Tonight, it's the Men's Singles Short Program." Y: "Victor... After this season ends, my family runs a hot spring resort, so please come." Y: "If I win this dance-off... You'll become my coach, right?" Y: "Be my coach, Victor!"

Moro: "The top six skaters we'll see today have survived the brutal GP Series. Here they come, on their way to the number one spot." uji: "In sixth place, Katsuki Yuri was the last qualifier. Will he redeem himself in his second Final? With Victor Nikiforov as his coach this season, he'll try to prove the power of love by winning gold in the Final. Phichit Chulanont finished fifth in the Grand Prix Series. He's on a roll after becoming the first Thai skater to win gold at the Cup of China. In his first Final, he'll rewrite history for Southeast Asian figure skating." uji: "Yuri Plisetsky finished fourth in the Series. Last year's junior champion, this is his senior debut. He's been allowed to jump quads this season, and he's done brilliantly, placing second in both qualifying events. As the youngest skater at this Final, he seeks to defend Russia's prestige by securing his first victory. Christophe Giacometti finished third in the Series. His mature skating and giant quadruple Lutz have bewitched the entire world. He'll aim for his first victory at the Final." uji: "Otabek Altin finished second in the Series. Kazakhstan's hero won bronze at the World Championship, before his first GP victory in the NHK Trophy. His first Final qualification is another upset. Finishing first in the Series is Jean-Jacques Leroy, the man of the hour and the only qualifier to win both his events. In both his short program and free skate, he jumped six quads. JJ sets the rules for the rest of the world!" uji: "The final round is about to begin here in Barcelona!" Y: "Gotta Super-Supercharge It!! Grand Prix Final Short Program." Moro: "And now, Katsuki Yuri is the last skater remaining on the ice." V: "Yuri." Y: "Yes?" Moro: "His coach is empowering their matching rings in a prayer for victory." Sala: "Why matching rings?" Miche: "Lucky... I wish I had one with Sala!" V: "Sure. I'll say something you won't even have to think about." V: "Tomorrow, show me the skating that you can honestly say you liked best." Y: "I'm off!" Moro: "He's greeted by a roaring crowd as he takes the ice." Ysis: "Yuri!" Moro: "Katsuki Yuri of Japan." Minako: "You can do it!" Minami: "Yuri-kun!" Moro: "One year after he finished the Final in last place, Katsuki Yuri is about to start his short program. He is skating to "On Love: Eros."" Moro: "So, Oda-san, he's supposedly changed his jump composition in this program." Oda: "Yes, after the Rostelecom Cup, it was changed for even higher marks." Y: "Even if I top my personal best again, I can't beat JJ." Y: "His program has 5.22 points on mine in the jumps' base value alone." Y: "If I don't change my program..." V: "You want to change the jump to a quad flip in your short program? You've barely even landed that jump cleanly in practice." Y: "Yeah. But I still have time to improve the execution. Finding out how far I can push my limits to win will motivate me to fight through the Final!" Y: "Don't you want to see it, Victor? To see me land a quadruple flip with a +3 GOE?" V: "I do!" Y: "Right? Since then, I've focused practice time on the quadruple flip, but my success rate is still low. I've decided to go for it, though." V: "Yuri doesn't doubt his decisions anymore. And yet, I feel like my own heart is about to explode." Oda: "A triple axel." Oda: "That jump has a difficult entry, so it will get higher marks." Moro: "Next up is a quadruple jump combination." Oda: "Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop." V: "Yes!" Moro: "Another success!" V: "Excitement courses through the body, down to the toes, and is released!" Moro: "Now, the highly anticipated quadruple flip." V: "Good, just use that speed to..." Oda: "A quadruple flip, but one hand on the ice." Moro: "That spin received a level four rating again this season." Emil: "That was close!" Kids: "That flip had enough rotation, right?" Yuko: "It was fine!" Minami: "Yuri-kun's sit spin position is so beautiful!" Kids: "Dad, what would the base value be?" shi: "I'm calculating that now!" ews: "What do you have in mind for next season?" V: "When I approached every program like a new beginning, I could always surprise everyone." V: "But that also held me back... "I can only find new strength on my own." That's what I always thought." Moro: "Here comes the score for Katsuki Yuri." Moro: "His score is 97.83. It didn't break the 100 mark, but it's still a high score." V: "Now I can feel new emotions flowing into me through Yuri." V: "What should I give Yuri now?" Moro: "Next is Thailand's Phichit Chulanont. He is skating to "Shall We Skate?"" Moro: "He has a lot of supporters here from Thailand." Moro: "Here comes the first jump..." Oda: "A triple axel." Thaitv: "Phichit Chulanont is the first Thai skater to advance to a Grand Prix Final. His career began when his talent was discovered as he skated at a rink in a Bangkok commercial district. He moved to Detroit by himself to train under Coach Celestino. Last year, he made Thailand his home rink again." Oda: "Triple Lutz, triple toe loop." Phi: "My only quad is the toe loop. It'll be hard to earn higher scores than the others." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Phi: "I have no past accomplishments to defend. This is my new beginning! It's a waste if I'm not as excited as a child" Cc: "Massimo!" Phi: "drawing art no one's ever seen before on a blank canvas!" Phi: "Yuri... I want to skate to "Shall We Skate?" Even though it stars a Thai actor, no Thai skater has ever used the music in a program." Phi: "Someday, I'll skate to it at a major competition." Phi: "You'll be there, too, Yuri!" Moro: "That was a flawless performance from Phichit Chulanont!" Cc: "Bravo!" Oda: "He seems to be feeling a release from the immense pressure. Really, that was amazing." Y: "Phichit-kun... You were a perfect entertainer until the very end!" Yuri: "How long are you idiots gonna sit in the kiss and cry?!" Y: "Yurio..." V: "Davai." Moro: "Phichit Chulanont's score is 95.73!" Phi: "Ciao Ciao!" Moro: "That's a new personal best!" Phi: "Yeah!" Moro: "He's currently in second!" Moro: "Here's Russia's next generation, Yuri Plisetsky." Ysis: "Yurio!" Minako: "Davai! Davai!" Moro: "He is skating to "On Love: Agape." The program was choreographed by Victor Nikiforov. Yuri Plisetsky has said that his relative lack of experience kept him from skating to his full potential at the Rostelecom Cup due to nerves." Moro: "Here comes the first jump." Oda: "A triple axel. He used a raised arm with the jump, earning higher marks for a greater degree of difficulty." Oda: "A flying sit spin." Moro: "He won at the Golden Spin, held right before the Final." Yakov: "All Yuri lacks in the senior division is experience. Yuri has sought help to address that, and we have provided the resources." Lilia: "His short program will have "agape" as its theme. I believe he's found an entrance to "love" through his many encounters with others. People shine brightest when they seek to understand what kind of love sustains them." Yakov: "Vitya..." Moro: "Now, in the second half of his program, we'll see a quadruple-triple combination." Oda: "Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop." Moro: "That was mind-blowing!" Oda: "He did the jump with one arm raised. It was perfect." Moro: "The last jump is also a quad." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "He did it!" Oda: "This time, he had both arms raised." Moro: "All of his jumps were flawless!" Oda: "Here comes the step sequence." Y: "Huh? Victor's not here." Moro: "He's attempting difficult elements with the highest possible execution. A beautiful monster continues to evolve to even greater heights!" Yuri: "Oh... My mind went blank in the middle of it." Y: "Victor—" Moro: "What score will we see here? Yuri Plisetsky's score is 118.56! He's surpassed the world record set by Victor Nikiforov!" Yuri: "I've got this!" Yakov: "That's my Yuratchka!" Y: "I got curious about how it was going, too." V: "Chris is about to take the ice. Let's find a seat." Y: "Okay." Moro: "The next skater is Christophe Giacometti of Switzerland, age 25. The audience is still awestruck by Yuri Plisetsky's new world record," Minako: "Chris!" Moro: "but the arena is filling with Swiss flags! He is skating to "Intoxicated." He's changing the mood 180 degrees, from agape to adult sex appeal." Moro: "He's planned a quad for his first jump." Oda: "A quadruple Lutz." Moro: "Look at the flow of that jump!" Oda: "Combination spin." Moro: "Though he's advanced to the Final each year, Christophe Giacometti has never won the event. How does longtime rival Victor Nikiforov feel as he watches him perform from the audience?" Chris: "Yuri, you're not the only skater who's always watched Victor climb the podium until now." Chris: "Given my age, I won't be able to qualify for the Final much longer." Chris: "To tell the truth, the first season without Victor is boring..." Isu: "Chris, we're here." Chris: "You always come too early." Chris: "But that's why I'll make this Final extra special!" Oda: "A triple axel." Moro: "That was perfect." Oda: "The jump's height and distance were flawless." Chris: "Victor, watch this from the audience." Y: "Victor..." Y: "I thought the same thing when he watched Yurio earlier, but..." Oda: "Oops, that quad was just a bit under-rotated." Y: "His last jump had a flaw, but of course, it's still Chris. Everything in his program has great execution. He may outscore me." Chris: "I don't give up that easily, you know." Moro: "Christophe Giacometti's score is 102.37!" V: "Chris!" Moro: "He's passed Katsuki Yuri and is currently in second place." Yuri: "Davai!" Moro: "Now we have Otabek Altin of Kazakhstan. This is his very first Final, after finishing the Grand Prix Series in second." Minako: "Davai!" Moro: "He is skating to "Samarkand Overture."" Moro: "Altin is a dark horse in this year's Grand Prix Series. He was telling us that he'd like to bring gold back to his country." Moro: "Here's the first jump." Oda: "Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop!" Moro: "Success!" Sala: "Otabek wasn't very memorable in the past. He's completely different now." Miche: "He wasn't known at all until the junior division." Coach: "Otabek, why are you embarrassed?" Ota: "I have fewer resources, and the other talent is overwhelming. If I can't demonstrate something they can't do," Ota: "I'll never win." Ota: "I haven't done ballet ever since." Ota: "There is no right path. The ice is a battlefield. I am going to survive!" Oda: "A triple axel." Moro: "Look at that height and distance! That's Otabek Altin's triple axel! The last jump..." Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "That had great flow!" Y: "Otabek's jumps were flawless, too. His skating shows no hesitation. That determination is very much his trademark." Yuri: "Another score higher than the pig's." V: "He's great. That was very exotic! It felt so fresh!" Jjmom: "Come on, go." Jjdad: "JJ, show them! Show them good!" Moro: "Otabek Altin's score is 112.38!" Minami: "Wow!" Moro: "He beat his personal best again, and he's currently in second!" Kids: "It's like a "new personal best" party!" Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky remains in first place as we welcome the last skater," Yuri: "Yeah!" Moro: "Jean-Jacques Leroy. He has a huge group of supporters here from Canada. Just listen to all the "JJ" shouts in the arena. He's the only skater here who won both his qualifying events with flawless performances. He is skating to "Theme of King JJ."" Jj: "What I'm after isn't just complete supremacy over the Grand Prix Series, but also a grand slam of the Canadian Nationals, the Four Continents, and World Championship. Right now, it's totally within my reach—" Oda: "Hmm, the quadruple toe loop..." Moro: "He'd planned a combination, but there was only one jump." Jj: "I'll just turn the quad in the second half into a combination! No problem!" Oda: "The triple axel turned into a single..." Y: "Oops." Jjmom: "JJ..." Jjdad: "Damn it. He let himself be swallowed by the Grand Prix Final pressure." Jj: "Once I win the World Championship, let's get married." Jjgf: "JJ!" Jjgf: "I bet you can win every single title." Jjmom: "Yes, JJ... You can do it." Jjdad: "JJ, you can win the grand slam." Jj: "So this is... the pressure of the Grand Prix Final..." Jj: "JJ..." Jj: "never... gives up!" Jj: "Thank you. I can hear all of you!" Moro: "Last up is his giant quadruple Lutz. How will it go?" Jj: "Of course I'll choose to take risks!" Moro: "It turned into a single." Y: "It's like seeing myself from last year." Y: "No, this is different." Y: "JJ just can't stay stuck in one place. No one has the right to mock the challenge he's taken on." Y: "I have no regrets for taking on my own challenge this time, either!" Y: "After all, I've managed to become one of the final six." Moro: "We have Jean-Jacques Leroy's score." Moro: "It's 86.71, his lowest score thus far in his senior division career." Jj: "I don't understand what's happening." Jjgf: "JJ! JJ! JJ!" s: "JJ! JJ! JJ!" Jj: "Stop!" Jj: "It's JJ Style!" Yuri: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Moro: "The short program standings are: Yuri Plisetsky in first place, Otabek Altin in second place, and Christophe Giacometti in third place, with the remaining rankings as seen." Y: "I'll go for the gold in my free skate." Y: "Apparently, Minako-sensei's drinking with Celestino at a bar." V: "Wow, best to keep our distance." V: "By the way, Yuri... What did you want to talk to me about?" Y: "Right." Y: "After the Final, let's end this." Y: "The final event Victor and I will face together is about to begin. The eight months I spent with Victor was the most intense time in my competitive figure skating career. I'll be sure to skate my and Victor's love, laid bare to the world! Next time, Final Skate: Gotta Super-Super-Supercharge It!!!"

Y: "After the Final, let's end this." V: "Huh?" Y: "You've done more than enough for me, Victor." Y: "Thanks to you, I was able to give everything I had to my last season." Y: "Thank you for everything, Victor. Thank you for being my coach." Y: "Victor?" V: "Damn..." V: "I didn't expect Katsuki Yuri to be such a selfish human being." Y: "Right. I made this selfish decision on my own. I'm retiring." V: "What are you doing, Yuri?" Y: "Oh, I'm just surprised to see you cry." V: "I'm mad, okay?" Y: "You're the one who said it was only until the Grand Prix Final!" V: "I thought you needed my help more." Y: "Aren't you going to make a comeback? You don't have to worry about me—" V: "How can you tell me to return to the ice while saying you're retiring?!" Y: "We decided to each make our own decisions after the free skate." uji: "This is the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. Tonight, we'll know our world champion. We have Russia's Yuri Plisetsky in first, with the highest ever short program score." uji: "Otabek Altin, the hero of Kazakhstan, is in second at his very first Grand Prix Final. Christophe Giacometti of Switzerland is in third after a very distinct performance." uji: "Katsuki Yuri, Japan's ace, hopes to turn his fourth place into a spot on the podium." uji: "Phichit Chulanont, the first Thai skater to qualify for the Final, is in fifth." uji: "And Jean-Jacques Leroy of Canada enters the free skate, shockingly, in sixth. Will he make a comeback?" uji: "The final chapter of the Grand Prix Final is about to begin." Taka: "This is Stéphane Lambiel reporting from Spain. Now to you, Mr. Morooka at the rink." Moro: "Yes, Morooka here. Skater Katsuki has not practiced publicly since the day after the short program. He's worried his supporters by remaining out of sight," Moro: "but he returned to the ice for the morning's public practice." V: "Hi, Victor! Hi, Stéphane. It's been a while. People of Japan, please continue to cheer for Yuri today." Matsu: "Thank you, Victor. Best of luck to him." Taka: "Hmm... It seems neither Yuri Katsuki nor Victor Nikiforov have the energy we've come to expect." Y: "Gotta Super-Super-Supercharge It!!! Grand Prix Final Free Skate." Moro: "The Men's Singles Free Skate is about to start. First on the ice is Jean-Jacques Leroy of Canada. A string of short program mishaps has cost him points, and he's far behind." Jjmom: "JJ! You can do this!" Jjmom: "JJ, the music's started!" Jj: "I can't believe I just did that." Jj: "It's been sixteen years since I started skating." Kidjj: "Mom! Dad! Look!" Jj: "I feel like I've been tossed onto the ice naked for the very first time." Oda: "Looks like he didn't go into the jump with enough speed." Moro: "That jump is Jean-Jacques Leroy's specialty, but his practice was mired in mistakes, too. Still, he's the sole skater among the final six with four quads in his programs." Moro: "Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop." Jjdad: "Yeah!" Moro: "He did it!" Jj: "Leave me alone!" Jjmom: "JJ?" Jj: "Sorry... Mom, I'm sorry." Jj: "I don't know what to do!" Jj: "I'd never been that angry before." Jj: "I'm truly a bird with a broken wing." Jj: "Stop it. I don't deserve applause right now! Given the current totals, I might be able to claw my way onto the podium if the others mess up." Jj: "But still..." Jj: "Me? Win out of sheer luck?" Jj: "That's not like me at all!" Moro: "A triple axel." Moro: "Another success!" Jjdad: "We'll greet him with a smile, no matter what score he gets." Youngjj: "The "JJ Style" I have in mind is... Coach, I—" Ciao: "First of all, say, "Yes."" Jj: "This is so that JJ can stay JJ. Watch me!" Moro: "For his final jump, he's planned a quadruple toe loop." Jj: "A plan is just a plan!" Oda: "A quadruple loop." Moro: "Jean-Jacques Leroy!" Jj: "Yes!" Moro: "He rose to the challenge!" Oda: "There was a step-out, but overall, a great jump." Miche: "Huh?" Emil: "I guess he did do that jump during practice." Sgl: "JJ landed a quadruple loop?" Sgl: "The Four Continents will be fun." Y: "Their battles will continue for years after this Grand Prix Final." Y: "No tale is more compelling than one that never ends." Moro: "Jean-Jacques Leroy of Canada's score is 213.91! A high score right off the bat!" Jj: "It's JJ Style!" Ciao: "JJ hasn't changed at all." Ciao: "A pupil's accomplishment is headier than any wine. Phichit, use your performance to intoxicate the world." Moro: "In his short program, Phichit Chulanont of Thailand, age 20, bewitched the audience here in Spain. His supporters back home have high expectations, as well." Phi: "I've never had such a big crowd cheering for me before." Phi: "I really want to turn in a flawless performance!" Oda: "A triple axel..." Moro: "He stumbled, but got up right away." Phi: "I have to entertain the audience!" Ghj: "Jiayou!" Phi: "Right now, the toe loop is my only quad." Phi: "I can't easily add more to my quad repertoire just yet, but..." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Ciao: "Bravo!" Moro: "His nerves settled, and he nailed it!" Mura: "Okay!" Phi: "Here at the Grand Prix Final," Phi: "I'm confident that I stand out as a skater unlike any other!" Oda: "Triple flip, single loop, double flip." Moro: "He landed his last jump combination!" Phi: "I have a dream." Phi: "I haven't told Yuri about it yet... But I want to have an ice show in Thailand someday. I want everyone in Thailand to know how fun figure skating is!" Y: "Please be my coach until I retire!" V: "I wish you'd never retire." Y: "Let's win gold together at the Grand Prix Final." V: "Don't worry. You can win gold, Yuri." V: "Believe in yourself." Y: "Hey, Victor..." Y: "I told you before that I wanted you to stay who you were, right?" Y: "Don't suddenly start trying to sound like a coach now." Y: "I want to smile for my last time on the ice." V: "Yuri, listen to me. I debated whether I should tell you this now, but... I took a break after becoming the five-time world champion to coach you," V: "so how is it possible that you still haven't won a single gold medal?" V: "How much longer are you going to stay in warm-up mode?" V: "I really want to kiss the gold medal." Moro: "What's going on? Skater Katsuki looks like he might be crying." Y: "I've already made up my mind about my goal." Minami: "Go!" Kids: "Go, Yuri!" shi: "Hey, he's running out of time." Y: "My name is Katsuki Yuri." Y: "I'm a dime-a-dozen Japanese figure skater. I'm 24." Moro: "He said he'd like to use this program to express the different forms of love he feels. His music for the free skate is "Yuri on Ice."" Moro: "There will be two consecutive quads. The first is part of a combination..." Oda: "Quadruple toe loop, double toe loop." Y: "For more than half of my life, I've been trying to catch up to Victor." Y: "Thank you for bringing me all the way here, Victor." Y: "And it's not just Victor I have to thank." Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Minako: "He's changed since Yurio taught him how to do the Salchow." Oda: "A triple flip." V: "He changed it from the triple loop..." V: "Yuri, you can't be serious." Y: "My performance needs to be better than flawless for a chance at the gold. I've been thinking ever since the short program that I'd like the final free skate of my career to have the same difficulty as Victor's." Oda: "A triple axel." Moro: "A triple flip is planned next." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop?" V: "A quad?" V: "You added another for a total of four quads, Yuri?" Y: "Do you realize it now, Victor?" Oda: "Triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow." Y: "I don't want it to end here, Victor. I want to be in figure skating with you forever." Oda: "Triple Lutz, triple toe loop." Y: "But your staying on as my coach means slowly killing you as a competitive skater." Y: "Look at the Victor who lives on inside me." Y: "Your becoming my coach wasn't a waste of time." Y: "I'm the only one in the whole world who can prove that." Moro: "The last jump is a quad, the signature move of his coach, Victor Nikiforov!" Oda: "A quadruple flip." Moro: "He did it!" Moro: "Katsuki Yuri has succeeded in creating a masterful culmination of his career!" V: "Yuri!" Y: "I don't want to go to the kiss and cry." Y: "Because going back there means it's over." V: "Don't worry." V: "Your performance was so perfect, I'm sure you'll get a great score." Moro: "We have Katsuki Yuri's scores..." Moro: "His free skate score is 221.58! He's broken Victor Nikiforov's long-time world record for the Men's Singles Free Skate! His total score is 319.41! He's jumped all the way to first place!" V: "Congratulations, Yuri. Having both Yuris beat my records is the ultimate bliss as your choreographer and coach," V: "but it's the ultimate diss as a competitor." Y: "Huh? Does that mean you'll come back?" Chris: "That guy rumored to be retiring banged out a world record. Talk about a dreamer." Moro: "Christophe Giacometti is skating to "Rapsodie Espagnole."" Chris: "I thought this Grand Prix Final would be my last chance to win," Chris: "but Yuri easily beat my personal best. Looks like it won't be that easy to get my hands on a medal, but I think I'll be able to enjoy this year's Final until the very end." Oda: "A quadruple Lutz." Moro: "He landed it again in the free skate!" Chris: "I can do this." V: "Yeah! Oh, please take our picture with this phone!" Oda: "What was meant to be a quadruple Salchow became a single." Phi: "Hang in there, Chris!" Yv: "Allez!" V: "Chris!" Chris: "Victor... I got too used to having you in front of me. I pretended not to notice the discomfort of being surpassed by another. But I can always fan the flames of regret within me! There!" Oda: "A triple axel!" Minako: "A lone triple axel?" Phi: "He changed his program to make a jump into a combination in the second half." Oda: "Triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow." Moro: "His final jumps were successful!" Oda: "Yes, he brought a combination he usually does in the first half into the second instead." Moro: "We have a standing ovation from the audience! Just look at their enthusiasm!" Minako: "Chris!" Chris: "Merci." Moro: "His free skate score is 188.32. His total score is 290.69. After four skaters, he is currently in third. At this time, Katsuki Yuri, currently in first, is guaranteed a spot on the podium!" Woman: "Congratulations!" Y: "Oh, thank you." Moro: "After the short program, he's 6.18 points behind the leader, Yuri Plisetsky." Mm: "Otabek! Davai!" Moro: "He's now on the ice, gunning for a spot on the podium at his first Grand Prix Final." Jj: "Keep an eye out for the quadruple Salchow straight out of JJ's book!" Leo: "Go, Otabek!" Moro: "He is skating to the second movement from Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9."" Ota: "Now is the time for you to take center stage. The whole world is waiting for you." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "He did it!" V: "Yakov..." V: "I want to talk to you about something." Yakov: "Right now? Tell me later. It's almost Yuri's turn!" Oda: "Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop." Yakov: "What?! You're coming back?!" V: "Yeah. For now, I'll time my return to the Russian Nationals." Yuri: "Hey, does that mean the pork cutlet bowl's retiring?" V: "That's his decision. He said he'd decide after the Grand Prix Final was over." Ota: "Don't forget what it is you want. Now is the time to take off." Oda: "A triple axel." Ota: "Fulfill your dream." Ota: "Only you can make it a reality." Ota: "Live your life." Y: "Victor?" Ota: "Dance your dream." Ota: "Sing, sing... Sing your own song." Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "He's landed all his quads!" Oda: "Triple flip, single loop, triple Salchow." Phi: "Wow." Ciao: "Originality isn't only about what you're born with." Ciao: "At age 19, Otabek is about to prove that." Ota: "Do to the fullest, play to the fullest, and discover. Find your path, and go above and beyond it!" Ota: "Now is your beginning." Ota: "Live your own life." Moro: "Here comes the final jump..." Oda: "A triple loop." Moro: "All of his jumps were successful!" Moro: "Otabek Altin missed Jean-Jacques Leroy by a sliver and is currently in third! Katsuki Yuri remains in first place. The final skater to take the ice is the Russian fifteen-year-old," Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky." Y: "Yuri, davai!" Ota: "Yuri, davai!" Yuri: "Yakov, Lilia." Yuri: "Grandpa." Yuko: "Yurio-kun, davai!" Yuri: "Yuko and the rest." Kids: "Davai, davai!" Yuri: "And Katsuki Yuri... Watch this closely." Moro: "He is skating to "Allegro Appassionato in B Minor." Yuri Plisetsky hammered out a new world record with his short program. If he wins the Grand Prix Final in his senior debut, that will make men's singles history. First up is a quad!" Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "Success!" Oda: "A spiral... into a triple axel." Moro: "Another success!" Oda: "That was a difficult entry, and he used a raised arm with the jump, earning higher marks for greater difficulty." Y: "Yuri Katsuki... He screws up his jumps, but his step sequence grabs your attention." Y: "I want to see him skate with no mistakes." Y: "What a loser! He's crying! We don't need two Yuris in the same bracket. Just retire already. Moron!" Y: "What, you're gonna retire once you win gold? You don't care anymore now that you got a higher score than Victor's? That's bull! Don't disappoint me!" Y: "There are no gold medals for pigs to feed on!" Moro: "A triple flip." Y: "Hang in there, Yurio. Here come the second-half jumps." Yuri: "I'm going to win!" Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "A big fall there!" Oda: "He got up right away. Beautiful spiral position." Gramps: "Yuratchka, look how strong you've become." Lilia: "You've distanced yourself from being a prima ballerina, but you've evolved into your own new beauty, Yuri Plisetsky." Oda: "Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop." Moro: "Brilliant execution! What determination, raising both arms again!" Yuri: "Are you watching, Katsuki Yuri?" Yuri: "I'm gonna beat your record someday." Oda: "Quadruple toe loop, double toe loop." Moro: "He's added a quad at this point in the program!" Yuri: "If you retire now, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life." Yuri: "Moron!" Oda: "Triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow." Moro: "He did it!" Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky's free skate score is 200.97! His total score narrowly beats Katsuki's by 0.12 points to win the gold!" Moro: "Well, Katsuki Yuri's on the podium for the first time!" Y: "It's not a gold medal, but..." V: "I don't feel like kissing it unless it's gold. Man, I really wanted to kiss Yuri's gold medal. I'm such a failure as a coach. Yuri, do you have any suggestions? Something that would excite me?" V: "What did you think just now?" Y: "Oh, um... Well..." Y: "Victor!" Y: "Please stay with me in competitive figure skating for one more year! This time, I'll win gold for sure!" V: "Great!" V: "But keep going!" Y: "What?" V: "Even I'm worried about making a full comeback if I'm also staying on as your coach. In exchange, I'll need you to become a five-time world champion, at least." Y: "Okay." Moro: "The men's singles silver medalist, Japan's Katsuki Yuri. His exhibition is the free program of his coach, who's just announced his comeback, last year's "Stay by Me."" Y: "There's a place you just can't reach unless you have a dream too large to bear alone. We call everything on the ice "love.""

Y: "Vitya!" Y: "Don't go! Stay here!" V: "Yakov, you were the best coach I ever had. You always will be." Y: "If you walk away now, you can never come back!" V: "Dasvidaniya." V: "I'm sorry I can't do as you say this time." Y: "You don't get to say that when you've never done as I said in the first place!" V: "You should come visit Japan, Yakov." Y: "Two Yuris?! Drama at Yu-topia!" Minako: "Yuri! Why aren't you answering your cell?!" Ymom: "What's wrong?" Minako: "Everything's wrong! There's a rumor that Victor's going to be Yuri's coach!" Ymom: "Oh, Vicchan's here already." Minako: "What?" Ymom: "Vicchan's sound asleep." Y: "Hello! I'm Katsuki Yuri! I'm in a bit of a slump right now, but I'm a top figure skater certified by the JSF!" Y: "Back home for the first time in five years, I was thinking of how to keep my career going... when my idol, Victor, suddenly appeared! I'm still in denial that this is actually happening! By the way, Victor Nikiforov is a living legend in figure skating. I never dreamed he'd be interested in me, but..." V: "Starting today, I'm your coach. I'll make you win the Grand Prix Final." Y: "What is he saying, standing there buck naked?" Minako: "Yuri!" ews: "Why is Victor sleeping in one of the inn's robes?!" Y: "He soaked in the hot spring and had dinner, then fell asleep..." Minako: "It's big news in Russia. He's taking next season off and is considering his next move. They're also saying that when he saw the video of you skating his routine, he was struck with inspiration, and that's when he decided to be your coach." Y: "Huh?" Minako: "Victor came here because he chose you, Yuri. You brought him here!" Minako: "That's incredible!" Yuri: "Huh?" Yuri: "Victor went to Japan to become Yuri Katsuki's coach?" Yuri: "Why that fatso?" Yuri: "Did he forget what he promised me?" Yuri: "Yakov! Where are you? Explain this to me, damn it!" Y: "Victor wants to take time off until he finds his motivation again." Y: "Personally, I doubt he'll be able to return if he takes a break now." ews: "He's going to coach Katsuki Yuri in Japan—" Y: "That man only thinks of himself! He'll never be anyone's coach!" Y: "Oh, he's awake." V: "I'm starving. Hungry..." Y: "Huh? He still wants to eat? Um, what would you like to eat?" V: "Hmm..." V: "As your coach, I'd like to know what your favorite food is, Yuri." Y: "What?" V: "Wow! Amazing!" Ymom: "Our specialty, the pork cutlet bowl, extra-large!" V: "Vkusno! Delicious! Too good for words!" V: "Is this what God eats?!" Y: "I'm glad you like it." Minako: "Yuri gains weight easily, so he was only allowed to eat it when he won a competition. Right?" V: "Oh? So have you eaten this pork cutlet bowl recently?" Y: "Yes, yes. I eat it often." V: "Why? You haven't won anything. With that pig's body of yours, lessons would be meaningless. You need to get back to your weight at last year's Grand Prix Final, at the least..." V: "or I can never coach you." V: "Until then, no more pork cutlet bowls." V: "Okay, little piggy?" Y: "Huh? I feel like I should be offended..." Ysis: "Hey, this luggage is in the way." V: "Can you take it to the room where I'll be staying?" Yysis: "Staying?" V: "Wow! What a classic, tiny room. Is there a sofa?" Y: "No..." Y: "I'm sorry it's so small. We only had an unused banquet room available." V: "You look anxious. You can pay the coaching fee after you achieve success! I'll bill you later." Y: "Th-Thank you." V: "Yuri, tell me everything about you." V: "What kind of rink do you skate at?" V: "What's in this city?" V: "Is there a girl you like? Before we start practicing, let's build some trust in our relationship." V: "What? Why are you running away?" Y: "Uh, no reason..." Y: "I'm still scared to be close to him." V: "Yuri, let's sleep together. As your coach, there's so much I need to learn about you." Y: "No!" V: "Yuri!" V: "Yuri!" V: "Yuri?" Y: "We've barely ever spoken because I always put him on such a high pedestal, and now he's right here..." Y: "I get it now." Y: "My heart's pounding because of how happy I am." V: "Hello!" V: "Hi!" V: "I'm Victor Nikiforov. I'll be Yuri's coach from now on." shi: "Huh? What? What?! Victor's really going to be Yuri's coach?!" Y: "Wow! A quadruple flip!" Kids: "Mom, I've got this! I'll take the video! Can I upload this?" Y: "It's not for the public, you skating otaku trio!" shi: "Seriously?" Y: "Yeah. He says he'd like to use this rink as our home base for now. Is that okay?" shi: "Okay, sure! I'll talk to the higher-ups." shi: "Victor teaching you himself... It's like a dream come true!" Y: "Yeah... By the time I was twelve, Victor, four years my senior, was already number one in the world." Sign 0718: "I've imitated him for years, trying to catch up to him." Sign 0718: "How could seeing the video of me skating his routine inspire him?" Sign 0718: "How did I inspire you, Victor?" V: "The little piggy can't enter the rink until he drops some body fat." Y: "Are you really serious about making me win?" Minako: "Maybe he just wanted an excuse to take a break." Y: "Please don't say that. That's what I suspect, too, but..." Minako: "You decided to keep skating, didn't you? You need to take advantage of Victor! Okay, let's get you slimmed down!" Y: "O-Okay." Y: "Minako-sensei is a ballet instructor." Y: "She used to travel the world as a dancer. When I was younger, I spent more time in her ballet class than at home." Y: "I even started skating because Minako-sensei urged me to. She's always cheered me on, but she likes to meddle, too." V: "Do you have feelings for Minako?" Y: "What?! No way!" V: "Do you have a girlfriend?" Y: "No." V: "Any ex-girlfriends?" Y: "N-No comment." V: "Let's talk about me! My first girlfriend was—" Y: "Stop!" V: "Yuri, what's that castle over there?" Y: "Oh, that's Hasetsu Castle. Inside is ninja house." V: "Really? Ninjas?!" V: "Hasetsu Castle!" V: "Let me see! Let me see!" Man: "Who's that good-looking foreigner?" V: "Hashtag "#ninja"!" V: "Yes!" Yuri: ""Hasetsu Castle"?" Yuri: "Does he want to become a ninja or something?" Yuri: "I finally found you." Yuri: "Just you wait, Victor." Ymom: "Oh?" ews: "Is it true that Victor is here?! Comment, please!" Town: "Can we share a bath with him?!" Ymom: "It's been a long time since we had so many customers!" Misc: "Victor's here, right? Excuse me! We'd like to film a special feature! I want to learn how to skate, too!" shi: "Wh-What the hell?" Misc: "Me, too!" Yuko: "Oh..." People: "Victor! Oh my God! He's super hot!" Lady: "C-Can I take a photo with you? He's really good-looking." ews: "Please let us interview you!" Students: "Apparently Victor's at Ice Castle. Oh, wow!" Yuri: "Wow. Creepy." Yuri: "Crap, no! If I post this, Yakov will know I'm here!" Yuri: "Victor's been uploading tons of pictures with this city tagged..." Yuri: "Hey! Where's Victor?! Victor! Wha— My God... That's awesome fashion!" Yakov: "Yuri! Why are you in Japan, too?!" Yuri: "Oops, you found out?" Yakov: "You know how important this time before your senior debut is, right?!" Yuri: "I told you!" Yuri: "I'm not coming back to Russia until Victor makes good on his promise!" Yuri: "That geezer's such a nag! I have my own plan, okay?" Yuri: "I'm supposed to do a triple Salchow next." Yakov: "He'd better not..." Yuri: "I can do it!" Man: "A quadruple Salchow?" Yuri: "See that, Yakov?" Yakov: "You idiot!" Yakov: "I told you repeatedly that quads are off-limits because your body's still developing! If you can't follow orders, then quit!" V: "Yakov! You should praise him more." Yakov: "Don't butt in! It's none of your business!" V: "I used to get scolded for doing that, too." V: "You can win, even without quads." V: "I'd bet money on it. You can win the Junior World Championship." Yuri: "Okay, if I win without quad jumps," Yuri: "then choreograph a program just for me!" V: "Sure. When you win the Junior World Championship, come see me." V: "I'll give you the best senior debut ever." Yuri: "Where am I? Victor!" sh: "Oh? Are you a fan of Victor's?" sh: "There's a skating rink below the castle. Try there." People: "Come on, let us watch." Kids: "It's reserved, and it's a private practice session! Go home! Hey! You can't go in there!" Yuri: "Huh?" Kids: "Yuri Plisetsky!" Others: "He's the junior world champion..." Yuri: "Victor's inside, isn't he?" Kids: "Come in, come in." Y: "Finally here... I'm exhausted..." Kids: "Yuri..." Y: "Hey, get this! My weight's back to what it was before the Grand Prix Final!" Y: "Now I'll finally get Victor's permission to skate." Y: "Ow!" Yuri: "It's all your fault. Apologize." Y: "Why is he here? U-Uh, sorry, sorry. And why's he furious at me?!" Y: "Hey, pig! Ow! That hurts! Stop!" Kids: "The Japanese Yuri and the Russian Yuri are both here." Y: "Fatso! Pig!" Kids: "This means... We can go ahead with that, right? Right!" Yuri: "He promised me first that he'd choreograph a program for me. What about you?" Y: "Huh? We haven't gotten to talking about programs or anything." Yuri: "What?! You make him take a whole year off, and to do what? Isn't getting him as a coach enough? As if a guy who'd sob in a toilet stall at the Grand Prix Final can change at all just by getting Victor as a coach!" Y: "He's..." Yuri: "Just retire already." Y: "He's totally underestimating me." Yuri: "Stop smirking, fatso!" Y: "I don't really get the whole picture, so you should ask him yourself." Y: "Victor came all the way to Hasetsu because he wanted to." Y: "Just to become my coach." Yuri: "Huh?" Yuri: "Those moves... They're for the short program Victor was practicing for next season." Y: "What?" Yuri: "Victor was already putting together routines for next season." Yuri: "But he was really torn." Yuri: "Surprising the audience has always been his top priority." Yuri: "He had the whole world in his hands. But now, no matter what he does, no one's surprised anymore." Yuri: "He knows that better than anyone." Yuri: "If you don't have any inspiration left, you're as good as dead. If he's going to take next season off, I wonder if he'll let me use his program." Yuri: "I know I can surprise people more. I need Victor's help if I'm going to make my senior debut and win the Grand Prix Final." Y: "Huh? Win?" Yuri: "You look like you're doing great, Victor!" V: "Yuri, you're here? I'm surprised Yakov let you come. What do you want? Judging from that look, I'm guessing I forgot some promise I made." V: "Sorry, sorry. I totally forgot." V: "But you knew I was the forgetful type, right?" Yuri: "Yeah, I'm painfully aware of that." Yuri: "But a promise is a promise! You'll choreograph my new program, Victor!" Yuri: "Let's go back to Russia!" V: "Okay, I've decided! Tomorrow, I'll choreograph a program for both of you to the same music I'm using in my short program." Yuri: "Huh?! The same music as him?!" Y: "What?! With the same choreography?!" V: "No, this piece has several different arrangements. I was trying to decide which one to use." V: "I'll think of a different program for each of you, of course." V: "I'll reveal the programs in one week! You'll compete to see who can surprise the audience more!" Y: "Whoa! Let's take a step back here. I don't want to be punished for losing..." Yuri: "Victor will do whatever the winner says! If those are the terms, I'm in!" V: "Great! I love that kind of thing!" Kids: "Wait just a minute!" Kids: "Will you let us organize the event? A face-off between Yuri of Russia and Yuri of Japan! Let's throw... ...a huge party!" ews: "One week from now, the "Hot Springs on Ice" show will premiere at Ice Castle Hasetsu. Please come to the event." Yuri: "Talk about a hovel." Yuri: "Where's my room?" Y: "You're staying here?!" Yuri: "If you get Victor to yourself all the time, it won't be a fair match! I'll stay here, too! All right?" Y: "It's not like you care what I think." V: "The hot spring is great." Yuri: "I can't take a bath with other people! I'm going to sleep!" Yuri: "Give me food! And a bath!" Yuri: "This is great!" V: "The pork cutlet bowl is good, isn't it?" Ysis: "You have another visitor, Yuri?" Yuri: "Huh? Huh?!" Ysis: "No way! He looks just like my idol, The Blond Takao!" Ymom: "His name is also Yuri." Ysis: "What? That's confusing. Okay, you're Yurio!" Yuri: "What?!" Ysis: "Where will Yurio stay?" Y: "Upstairs in—" Ysis: "The storage room?! Oh, no! I need to clean it up! Yuri, come help." V: "Good for you, Yurio." Yuri: "Shut up! That's not my name!" Y: "I see... Of course." Y: "That Yuri has more potential than I do." Ysis: "Yuri, where are you going?" Y: "He's pretty confident, saying he'll win the Grand Prix Final on his first run as a senior." Y: "Above all, he's comfortable in front of Victor." Y: "Compared to me, he's much more..." V: "Huh? Where's Yuri?" Ymom: "He left a while ago. At a time like this, he'd be at Minako-san's place or Ice Castle." Ymom: "He's always been that way." Minako: "Huh? Yuri? He's not here." Minako: "By "my place," she meant my ballet studio. Whenever Yuri gets anxious, he always wants to practice." Minako: "I usually go along with him." Minako: "Ice Castle lets him skate anytime if it's not booked already. Yuri was able to grow because he had a place where he could practice alone whenever he got anxious. He's no genius, but he was gifted with more free time than anyone else to practice." shi: "He's always come here to practice by himself." Yuko: "It always made me think he really loved skating. He didn't even play with his friends." shi: "Well, he was never very good at making them." shi: "Skating aside, he's not good at putting himself out there." shi: "I don't want this to be the end for him." Yuko: "Me, neither. He actually hates losing." Yuko: "I hope Victor will bring out a side of Yuri-kun that we've never seen before." V: "So, a magic spell to change the little piggy into a prince..." Yn: "Huh?" V: "Nothing." V: "Thanks. I know a lot more about Yuri now." V: "Good morning." sh: "Morning." V: "You say hi too, Yurio." Yuri: "I'm not Yurio!" Y: "Victor will finally start teaching me today." Y: "Whether this is my last season or not rides on this. I'll never win if I wimp out here!" Y: "I can't lose this "Hot Springs on Ice" match!" Y: "And then I'll aim for the Grand Prix Final!" V: "First, let's have you two listen to the music." V: "This piece comes in two arrangements, each with a different theme. "On Love: Eros and Agape."" V: "Have you ever thought about love?" Yuri: "Nope." V: "All right." V: "Then what do you feel when you listen to this music?" Y: "It's very clear and innocent, like someone who doesn't know what love is yet." Yuri: "I don't like this piece. This innocence crap makes me wanna barf." V: "Okay." Y: "It's like a completely different song." Yuri: "Victor!" Yuri: "I want to skate to this one!" V: "The first piece is "On Love: Agape." The theme is unconditional love. And this piece is "On Love: Eros." The theme is sexual love." V: "I'll have you two skate to these opposing themes. This is how I'm assigning them. Yuri, you'll skate to "Eros"! Yurio, you'll skate to "Agape"!" Y: "What?!" Yuri: "Switch them! That piece isn't me at all!" V: "You have to do the opposite of what people expect. How else will you surprise them? That's my motto. Actually, you're both far more ordinary and mediocre than you think. You need to be more self-aware. I'm surprised you think you can choose your own image. From the audience's perspective, you're just a piglet and a kitten. If you aren't up to my standards by next week," V: "I won't choreograph either of your programs. Both of you are my fans, so I'm sure you'll manage." Yuri: "Fine. I'll skate to "Agape."" Yuri: "My senior division debut depends on it!" Yuri: "You'd better give me a program that'll let me win!" V: "It's up to you whether you win or not. If I skated the program, I'd win for sure." Yuri: "If I win, Victor, you're coming back to Russia." Yuri: "And you'll be my coach! That's what I want!" V: "Sure." V: "Yuri, what about you? What would you like to do if you win?" Y: "I want to eat pork cutlet bowls with you, Victor." Y: "I want to keep on winning, and keep on eating pork cutlet bowls!" Y: "So I'll skate to "Eros"!" Y: "I'll give it all the eros I've got!" V: "Great! That's exactly what I like!" V: "I wonder, which of you will be able to satisfy me?" Y: "I'll satisfy you for sure!" Yuri: "Fine! Bring on the fight! Don't underestimate Russia!" Yy: "Next time, Third Skate:"

Y: "Hello! I'm Katsuki Yuri. Now that the Russian Punk, Yurio, has come in pursuit of my coach, Victor, all hell's broken loose. The Hot Springs on Ice event is now being held so that Yurio and I can face off!" Y: "If Yurio wins, Victor will go back to Russia and be Yurio's coach." Y: "If I win, Victor will stay in Japan and be my coach." Y: "So I'm gonna give it all the eros I've got!" Y: "I Am Eros, and Eros Is Me?! Face-off! Hot Springs on Ice." V: "First, Yurio's "On Love: Agape."" V: "Agape... Unconditional love." V: "God's infinite love is self-sacrificing and uncalculating." Y: "Crap, this is hard. Victor can pull it off," Y: "but I wonder how Yurio will do it." V: "Kind of like that. What do you think?" Yuri: "Yeah, I pretty much got it." Y: "Huh?!" Yuko: "Wow... That was amazing." Yurio: "Hey, who's that chick?" Y: "Oh, she's one of the staff here, Yuko-san." Yuko: "Sorry for interrupting your practice. It was so wonderful, I couldn't help myself." V: "Okay, Yuri. You're next. Let's go!" Y: "O-Okay." Y: "Choreography that Victor did for me alone..." V: ""On Love: Eros."" Y: "D-Damn, he's so hot!" Yuri: "What the... Are you sick?" Y: "It's enough to make even me, a man, pregnant! Such eros!" Y: "Huh?" Y: "Can I skate this?" V: "Yuri!" V: "How was that?" Y: "Oh, um..." Y: "It was very "eros"!" V: "Right? So, about the program composition... Which quads can you land?" Y: "The toe loop, and... I can land the Salchow in practice, but never in competition." Y: "Um, I think I can do it if I try! So, um..." V: "Okay, you can practice the basics. I'll teach Yurio first." V: "I won't teach you anything you can't do right now." V: "How many times have you messed up during a competition?" V: "You have the skill to win. Why can't you make it happen?" Y: "Well, that's probably because..." Y: "I lack confidence." V: "Right. My job is to make you feel confident in yourself." V: "No one in the whole wide world knows your true eros, Yuri. It may be an alluring side of you that you yourself are unaware of." V: "Can you show me what it is soon?" Yuri: "Hey, Victor! Aren't you teaching me first?!" V: "Right. So, Yuri." V: "Think long and hard about what eros is to you." Y: "What eros is to me? What would that be?" Kids: "Who knew we'd get a lineup like this in Hasetsu?" Kids: "Lots of people will come!" Minako: "Well, either way... Yuri's back! Cheers! Cheers!" shi: "Huh? You had to do basic training for half a day because you didn't get "eros"?" Y: "Yeah." shi: "You should have just made something up. I bet Victor hasn't thought much about it, either." Y: "Victor's a genius, so he can get away with that." Y: "I could see a story in the program, too. A playboy comes to a certain town and bewitches the women left and right. He decides to pursue the most beautiful woman in town, but she isn't swayed. Then, as they play the game of love, she finds it difficult to make the right choices and ends up falling for him. Then he casts her aside, as though he's tired of her, and goes off to the next town." shi: ""Wow! So hot! Take me!"" shi: "That doesn't really sound like you, Yuri." Y: "Right? I bet people will say they'd prefer to see Victor skate the program." shi: "But you looked pretty sexy in the video when you copied his program." Y: "Well, I can't copy him." Y: "I'll never surpass him by doing that." shi: "Wait, you seriously think you can be better than him someday?" Y: "Huh? Oh, um, no, not at all!" shi: "I mean, how can someone as inexperienced in dating as you beat the hottest bachelor in the world?" V: "Stop, stop! Hmm, something isn't right here." Yuri: "I'm doing it like you showed me, aren't I?" V: "The way you currently are, your greed is too obvious. There's no sense of agape, unconditional love, in your performance. It's good to have confidence, but this program isn't where you should show it off." Yuri: "Huh? You're the one who's skated with complete confidence this whole time!" Yuri: "Well, what's agape to you, then, Victor?!" V: "It's a feeling, of course, so I could never explain it in words. Do you bother thinking about that when you skate?" V: "You're funny, Yurio." V: "Well, maybe we need a temple." Yuri: "A temple?" Yuri: "Ow!" Y: "Damn it. I'm an adult male of twenty-three. I could totally show mature sexiness if I wanted to." V: "Hey, hey! Take a photo of me in the bath so I can post it online." Y: "Sorry, but we don't let people take photos in the bath." V: "Really?" Y: "It's no good... From a physical standpoint, I'm not even close to eros." Y: "Eros, eros... It's what causes you to lose the ability to make normal decisions." Y: "For me, what causes me to lose that ability is..." Y: "I get it now! Pork cutlet bowls! That's what eros is to me!" Y: "Oh, sorry. It's not..." V: "Okay, let's go with that." V: "It's nice and unique." Yuri: "Seriously?" Y: "Man, I'm so embarrassed! They totally think my ideas are way too immature!" V: "Yuri! Try to imagine entangling more of the egg. Think of the pork cutlet bowl!" Y: "Got it!" V: "Next, Yurio!" V: "Maybe the temple." Yuri: "Just tell me if I'm not up to par!" V: "Your free leg's sloppy!" Yuri: "Keep it up!" shi: "Put your back into it!" Y: "All right..." V: "Hmm..." V: "Well, maybe a waterfall would help." Yuri: "A waterfall?!" Yuri: "I'm gonna kill him." Y: "Why me, too?" Yuri: "Who cares? Damn it." Yuri: "Who cares about agape? Forget all of them." Gramps: "Yuratchka... You were the best of the bunch." Yuri: "Grandpa, can you come to practice again tomorrow? I can skate even better!" Yuri: "I'm fine, even if Mom's not there!" Y: "Yurio? Hey, Yurio!" Y: "Are you okay? Let's call it a day." Yuri: "Oh... Okay." Y: "What's going on?" Y: "Why did he suddenly look so vulnerable?" Yuri: "Ugh... Where's Victor, anyway?" Y: "He went to eat at Nagahama Ramen, I guess." Yuri: "What? We're going there, too!" Y: "Huh?" V: "Vkusno!" Y: "Victor still isn't here, huh?" Yuri: "They said he was drinking until dawn. Dumbass." Y: "Oh, Yurio..." Yuri: "Huh?" Yuri: "What?" Y: "Please teach me how to land a quad Salchow." Y: "Please!" Yuri: "You suck! Hey, Pork Cutlet Bowl. Watch me do it one more time." V: "Sorry I'm late! Huh? What were you practicing just now?" Y: "I'm gonna check my choreography." Yuri: "Agape..." Yuri: "Unconditional love." Yuri: "To me, that means Grandpa." V: "Looks like Yurio found his agape. Maybe he's ready for the next stage." Y: "Huh? Next stage?" Y: "Does that mean I have a next stage, once I perform the eros of the pork cutlet bowl?" Y: "I still can't find it, though." Y: "I still lack what would serve as the backbone this program needs." Minako: "So, what will you do for a costume tomorrow?" Y: "Oh! I totally forgot!" Yuri: "I didn't bring anything, either." V: "That's taken care of! I had them send all the costumes I've ever worn in competition from Russia!" Y: "Wow!" Yuri: "There are lots of stupid-looking ones." Y: "Hey, you wore this one at the Grand Prix Final last year!" Yuri: "Hey! Don't pick anything flashier than mine!" Y: "This is from the Junior World Championship!" V: "Oh, yeah. I had long hair at the time, so my costume suggested both male and female genders at once." Y: "Oh, that's right..." Y: "I choose this one!" Minako: "Oh, come on! Who is it?" Minako: "Huh? You want to practice in my studio this late at night?" Y: "Minako-sensei, I need you to teach me something." Moro: "We're here at Ice Castle Hasetsu, venue of the Hasetsu Exhibition: Hot Springs on Ice. Right off the bat, we have skaters Katsuki Yuri and Yuri Plisetsky." Moro: "Both your new short programs were choreographed by Victor Nikiforov. You'll be presenting them today in competition. Tell us how you feel going into the event!" Y: "Um, it'd be great if you'd try the hot springs afterward." Moro: "Hey! We're not asking you to promote tourism! Promote yourself!" Yuri: "We don't need two Yuris. I'll crush him." Moro: "Yes, that's it! Thanks for giving us what we wanted to hear! Spasibo, spasibo. Last but not least, let's hear from Victor Nikiforov, who's switched to coaching out of the blue!" V: "Hi! Hasetsu is a great place. Come and visit at least once!" Y: "What are you doing, Victor?" V: "Huh?" Yuri: "Stop that! It makes today's face-off look cheap!" Yuri: "You'd better be ready to evaluate our battle!" Y: "You'll grant the wish of whichever one of us wins, right?" V: "Oh..." V: "Of course!" Yuri: "You forgot, didn't you?" Tv: "Thank you for coming to the Hasetsu Exhibition: Hot Springs on Ice," Minako: "Wow, this is amazing. How many years has it been since so many people were in this rink?" Tv: " presented by Victor Nikiforov." Yuko: "Yurio-kun!" Yuko: "It's almost time." Yuri: "Okay." Yuko: "It's the see-through costume of legend from Victor's junior days! I never thought I'd see it in person! It's so beautiful..." Yuri: "You're gushing all kinds of fluids again." Yuko: "You look really good in it! Good luck!" Yuri: "O-Okay." Yuko: "Oh, you have to go. Come on, get a move on!" Moro: "Now, a champion with wins in the Junior Grand Prix Final and Junior World Championship. Hoping for a brilliant senior division debut, with programs choreographed by Victor Nikiforov, Yuri Plisetsky!" Audience: "Yuri, davai!" Audience: "Davai! Yuri, davai!" Moro: "He will be skating to "On Love: Agape."" Moro: "His first jump is a triple axel." Moro: "Excellent." Yuri: "Everyone's drawn into Yurio's agape performance." Yuri: "I can tell it's completely different from what I saw in practice." Yuri: "That's when Yurio's performance changed." Yuri: "No one can look away from this beautiful, ever-evolving monster!" Moro: "We're approaching the quadruples he was prohibited from performing in competition. Not to mention they're in the second half of his program." Moro: "A quadruple Salchow, followed by a triple toe loop! He unveiled the quad with a flourish!" Moro: "Here comes his final jump, a quadruple toe loop!" Moro: "He nailed it! What an astonishing fifteen-year-old! He nailed all of his jumps!" Yuri: "Sorry, Grandpa. I'm too busy trying to skate the program to really think about agape at all!" Moro: "The last element is his signature move, the combination spin." Yuri: "Damn it..." Yuri: "Just end already!" Moro: "Amazing! A masterful performance! There's a lot to look forward to this coming season!" Yuri: "I'm better than this!" V: "Yurio! That was the best performance I've seen from you so far!" V: "Go on, greet the audience!" Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky, who's enthralled the audience!" Y: "That was amazing. He'll definitely rank among the top senior division skaters." Y: "Right... If I lose, Victor will go back to Russia." Y: "I don't want that." Y: "I have to win." Y: "I want to win. I want to win!" V: "Yuri." V: "It's your turn." Y: "U-Um, I'm... I'm going to become a super tasty pork cutlet bowl, so please watch me!" Y: "Promise!" V: "Of course." V: "I love pork cutlet bowls." Moro: "We're pleased to introduce a skater who represents Japan, a late bloomer who's become a rising star, Katsuki Yuri!" Audience: "Good luck, Yuri-kun!" Moro: "He will skate to "On Love: Eros."" Audience: "Yuri! Good luck, Katsuki-kun!" Moro: "He's been having difficulty expressing "eros," but he said he'll think of how he'd love to eat his favorite dish, the pork cutlet bowl." Minako: "I pulled an all-nighter to help him practice," Minako: "and he's no ordinary pork cutlet bowl." Y: "Who am I dancing for?" Y: "I know who." Moro: "What a seductive step sequence! It's hard to believe he's imagining a pork cutlet bowl!" Minako: "Good! You're known for your step sequences and spins." Y: "I want you to teach me how to move in feminine ways." Minako: "Huh?" Y: "Trying to be the playboy isn't me. I want to be the most beautiful woman in town, who seduces the playboy! I won't drastically change any moves, but I think this is a lot closer to how I feel." Minako: "At first, I wasn't sure what he was being all serious about," Minako: "but his performance has integrated his emotions. It's changed." Moro: "Now, we have a spread eagle into a triple axel." shi: "Man, this program is tough. Scheduling all the jumps in the second half just because he has stamina is pretty spartan." Moro: "Oops! He stepped out of his quadruple Salchow! He managed to stay on his feet by putting his hand down." Yuri: "About what you'd expect." Y: "Don't panic! A mistake like this isn't enough to make me lose my charms." Y: "I'm better than any other woman out there. You ask why?" Moro: "A quadruple toe loop, followed by a triple toe loop! He nailed it!" shi: "A quad-triple combination at the very end? Is he insane?" shi: "He nailed it, too." Audience: "Welcome back, Yuri! Welcome back!" shi: "Guys, it's not "welcome back." That was a Yuri you've never seen before. No one could look away." shi: "I'm looking forward to this season now." V: "Yuri!" V: "That was the tastiest pork cutlet bowl I've ever seen! Wonderful!" Y: "Th-Thank you." V: "But can I say something?" Y: "S-Sure." V: "What was with your triple axel out of the spread eagle? That was the worst attempt so far. I know you had Yurio teach you the quad Salchow in secret, but what was that? Huh? Yuri?" Yuko: "Yurio-kun, hang on." Yuko: "You're going back without even hearing the results?" Yuri: "I already know the results." Yuri: "That performance..." Yuri: "I'm going to keep going under Yakov. Later." Yuri: "Dasvidaniya." Yuko: "I see." Yuri: "Don't get me wrong!" Yuri: "I'm the one who'll win at the Grand Prix Final! Tell him that!" Moro: "Katsuki Yuri has won the Hot Springs on Ice event." Moro: "A word, please." Y: "O-Oh, um..." Y: "I'm going to try and win the next Grand Prix Final with Victor! Thank you for your continued support!" Y: "The battle for my very last figure skating season has begun." Y: "Who'd even be happy to see me naked on ice?" V: "At the very least, I would be." Y: "Huh?"

Y: "Sorry! I overslept!" Y: "U-Um..." V: "Good morning, Yuri! Only Aeroflot has kept me waiting as long as you have." V: "Oh, Japanese dogeza!" Y: "Victor will be staying in Hasetsu to be my coach." Y: "But to me, it's surreal, more like having a god around than a coach." V: "Resting is a part of work, too." Y: "To think that a coach of my very own is going to be here every day..." Y: "And that coach is Victor Nikiforov himself. He said I could pay his coaching fees later, but I wonder how expensive it will be." V: "Yuri, you tend to flub your jumps when something is on your mind." Y: "Like Yourself... And Complete the Free Program!!" V: "Yuri, maybe we should nix having three quads in your free program." Y: "But..." Y: "I-If I want to win the Grand Prix Final, I need those." V: "Why? Even if there's only one quad, just get a perfect score on the program components!" Y: "Let me pause here to explain the scoring system in figure skating! Jumps and spins count toward a technical score. Choreography and interpretation count toward a presentation score. The total score is a sum of those two, minus any deductions! When I skate, I tend to lose technical points by missing jumps, but close the gap through the presentation score." Y: "At any rate, this isn't good enough. I have to change." V: "Yuri, do you know why I decided to become your coach?" Y: "Huh?" V: "I was drawn to you because of the music... The way you skate like your body is creating music. I want to create a high-difficulty program to maximize that." V: "Only I can do that." V: "That's the gut feeling I had..." V: "And the short program validated it!" V: "Perhaps you should produce your next free program." Y: "Huh? But my coach has always chosen my music— Ow, ow, ow!" V: "Isn't it more fun to do it yourself?" Y: "But my previous coach..." V: "Who was your coach again?" Mob: "Th-Thank you, God..." Ce: "Yuri? Ciao, ciao! I haven't seen you since the Grand Prix Final!" Y: "Oh, it's been a while." Ce: "I hear Victor's your coach now?" Y: "Uh, sorry." Ce: "Why are you apologizing?" V: "Ciao, ciao, Celestino!" V: "I'm his coach, Victor!" Ce: "You're playing at being a coach in Japan? Cut it out already." V: "Hey, hey... Why didn't you let Yuri choose his program music?" Ce: "Huh? I usually select music for my skaters, but I also let them choose if they want." Ce: "Yuri only brought me a piece once. I believe it was composed by an acquaintance. It wasn't bad, but..." Ce: "You think you can win with this music?" Y: "Uh..." Y: "Please choose the music for me after all, Coach." Ce: "Yuri never had confidence in himself. I told him time and again to trust himself more, but..." V: "Okay, thanks." Y: "U-Um, Celestino... I'm going to redeem myself at the next Grand Prix Final!" Ce: "That's what I wanted to hear you say at last year's Grand Prix Final." Y: "I'm so glad. I couldn't bring myself to contact him for so long..." V: "Yuri. Could I hear this music he mentioned?" Y: "Uh..." V: "Why didn't you tell me? I'm your coach, aren't I?" Y: "Right. Sorry." Yuri: "Huh?" Yuri: "That little piggy's producing his own free program?" Yuko: "How are you, Yuri-kun in Russia?" Yuko: "Did you choose your free program? I look forward to seeing it." Yuri: "Is Yuko trying to scout the enemy? Damn it." Yuri: "But producing his own program, huh?" Mila: "Oh? Yuri, did you go to Japan to find a girlfriend?" Yuri: "No. Get off me, Mila." Yuri: "Are you horny because you dumped that hockey player? I wouldn't put myself in that situation. I won't get myself almost killed just for going on a date with another girl." Mila: "I've been practicing lifts lately, too." Yuri: "Let me down, hag!" Mila: "I'm only three years older than you." Yakov: "Yuri. Mila." Mila: "Coach Yakov..." Yakov: "Are you two switching to pairs skating?" Mila: "S-Sorry." Mila: "I wonder what happened to Yuri in Japan." Mila: "He used to hate practice." Yakov: "He was arrogant about his abilities because no one in his age group rivaled him." Yakov: "But I think his face-off with Yuri Katsuki in Japan was his wake-up call. This may make things interesting." Moms: "Hey! Huh?" Moms: "It's Lilia Baranovskaya! The former prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Ballet!" Yakov: "Thank you for coming, Lilia." Lilia: "So which one is he?" Lilia: "If I don't like what I see, I'll go home." Yuri: "Who's this hag?" Lilia: "No cavities." Yuri: "Ow, ow, ow!" Lilia: "Physically, he's abysmal. We start from square one with ballet lessons." Yakov: "Do what you want." Yuri: "What the hell?!" Lilia: "I will choreograph your free program. First, I've decided on your next goal. Become this season's principal— no, prima ballerina." Lilia: "If you are willing to sell your soul to win." Mila: "P-Prima ballerina?" Yuri: "If selling my soul is all it takes to win," Yuri: "I'll give you my whole body, no holds barred." Lilia: "I am Lilia Baranovskaya. Go home and pack up your things. You'll be living with me from now on to practice." Lilia: "With Yakov, too." Yakov: "Lilia!" Lilia: "Don't get me wrong, Yakov. I don't intend to get back together with you." Yuri: "Huh? What?" Yakov: "I... I wasn't hoping for that at all!" Yuko: "I don't really get it, but Yurio-kun's coach brought in his ex-wife. Now he's getting scolded by her day and night." Y: "Huh, I see." Yuko: "Have you chosen the music for your free program, Yuri-kun?" Y: "Oh, well, I had Victor listen to one..." V: "Oh, I see. So this is how it sounds." Y: "But his reaction was lukewarm." V: "You should think of other possibilities." Y: "My usual way was to have my coach pick something from what was available, and to let him choreograph it, too." Y: "But Victor wasn't like that." Y: "He choreographed his own programs and had new music written to create stories." Y: "I did dream about doing that myself someday, but..." Y: "Oh, Phichit-kun... He's practicing back home in Thailand." Y: "Hey, Phichit-kun? Sawasdee krab." Phichit: "Yuri! It's been a while. How have you been?" Yuri: "You're practicing back in Thailand, huh?" Phichit: "Yeah, Detroit's boring now that you're gone. Oh, you should come visit Bangkok. I'll show you around." Y: "Khob khun, kup." Y: "Hey, Phichit-kun, do you remember how I had a music demo made?" Pichi: "Oh, yeah! By the conservatory student? You asked her to compose it, right?" Y: "Yeah. It got shelved in the end..." Y: "Sorry, and after you spent time composing it..." Lady: "Oh, it's fine. Just keep it." Y: "Sorry." Y: "Things got awkward with her after that." Pichi: "Oh, I see..." Pichi: "I'll put out feelers to see where she is. I'm sure she's not mad or anything." Y: "This piece has been bothering me for a while. It really is a bit weak..." Y: "But I guess that makes sense." Y: "I asked her to compose a piece that'd express my whole career as a skater." Y: "She did capture it pretty well... My underwhelming life in competitive figure skating." Y: "What should I have done differently?" Lilia: "No! No! Not like that at all! Throw yourself away! Your past self is dead! People who can be reborn as many times as necessary are the strong ones." V: "What? You still haven't chosen the music?" V: "Why can't you trust your own decisions? Just try to remember something, like when a girlfriend loved you." Y: "Huh?! S-S-Sorry! Right now, it's just that I—" V: "Oh, right. You've never had a girlfriend." V: "Yuri, let's go somewhere today." Y: "No, it's okay." V: "Yuri, let's go take a bath." Y: "I'm going to sleep." V: "Yuri, let's go to sleep together." Y: "I can't stand this guilt!" V: "Good morning, Yuri. Let's go to the ocean." Y: "Okay..." V: "Oh, seagulls." Y: "Black-tailed gulls." V: "Ever since I came here, I'm reminded of St. Petersburg when I hear seagulls in the early morning. I never thought I'd leave that city, so I never used to notice the seagulls' cries." V: "Do you ever have times like that?" Yuri: "There was a girl in Detroit who was really pushy and kept talking to me." Yuri: "One time, a rink mate got into an accident. I was pretty torn up with worry..." Yuri: "I was in the hospital waiting room with that girl. When she hugged me to comfort me, I shoved her away without thinking about it." V: "Wow, why?" Y: "I didn't want her to think I was feeling unsettled." Y: "I felt like she was intruding on my feelings or something, and I hated it. But then I realized that Minako-sensei, Nishigori, Yuko-chan, and my family never treated me like a weakling. They all had faith that I'd keep growing as a person, and they never stepped over the line." V: "Yuri, you're not weak." V: "No one else thinks that, either." V: "What do you want me to be to you? A father figure?" Y: "No." V: "A brother, then? A friend?" V: "Then, your boyfriend, I guess. I can try my best." Y: "No, no, no, no, no!" Y: "I want you to stay who you are, Victor!" Y: "I've always looked up to you." Y: "I ignored you because I didn't want you to see my shortcomings." Y: "I'll make it up to you with my skating!" V: "Okay, I won't let you off easy, then." V: "That's my way of showing my love." Y: "When I open up, he meets me where I am." Y: "I shouldn't be afraid to open up more!" Y: "She's going to redo the music." V: "Okay, I look forward to it." Y: "Until she's done, um..." Y: "Please teach me all the jumps that you can do!" Lilia: "It's no good at all. Even the king crab we ate yesterday had a better free leg than you." Lilia: "Do it again, starting from the same place. Your response?" Yuri: "Yes, ma'am!" Yakov: "It might have been good that he left Victor's side early." Yakov: "He's trying to rebuild his strengths." Y: "Victor, please let me do that one more time!" V: "Wow... Hasn't it been tens of thousands of times?" Y: "Just thirteen." V: "I've thought this for a while, but you have pretty good stamina." Y: "Well, I have that, at least." V: "You said you get hungry when you're nervous in competition, too. You haven't suffered any major injuries, and you're younger than I am." Y: "S-Sorry! I couldn't help it!" V: "Is it getting that thin?" Y: "No, no, no! Everything's okay!" V: "I'm hurt... I can't recover from this." Y: "Sorry! Please get up!" shi: "Well, those two seem to get along fine." Y: "It's here! Victor, listen!" Y: "Oops, sorry! The music for the free program's done." V: "If you want more impact," V: "maybe the last jump can be a quadruple toe loop?" Y: "Huh? For the last one?" V: "With your stamina, I think you can pull it off. You'd rather not?" Y: "I'll do it!" V: "Okay." V: "Oh, right." V: "Yuri, did you change the musical theme?" Y: "Oh, um..." V: "What is it?" Y: "The theme is "on my love."" V: "That's the best theme." V: "Perfect. Okay, let's finish this!" Y: "Yeah!" Minako: "What? The Grand Prix assignments were announced?!" Kids: "Crap, crap, crap!" Yuko: "Do you three realize what time it is?!" Kids: "Mom! The assignments!" Yuko: "Crap, crap!" Yakov: "Yuri!" Yakov: "The assignments are in." Yuri: "Where? Where'd the little Japanese piggy get assigned?" All: "Congrats!" Y: "Thanks." V: "Okay, I'll explain which events you'll be competing in." Kids: "But first! Since the Katsuki family still doesn't know much about figure skating, we'll give a simple explanation!" Ymom: "Oh, that'd be very helpful." Kids: "What is the Figure Skating Grand Prix series? Skaters with high scores in the previous year participate in a maximum of two competitions out of six worldwide. Only the top six skaters advance to the Grand Prix Final, which decides who's number one! And this season, Yuri's been assigned to the third event, the Cup of China! Yuri's former rink mate, Phichit from Thailand, will be there, too!" Y: "Oh, Phichit-kun!" Kids: "And his second event will be... The sixth event, Russia's Rostelecom Cup! He'll be up against his fated rival, Yuri Plisetsky!" Mari: "Wow, Yurio! Davai, davai!" Y: "So I'm already facing Yurio in the Rostelecom Cup..." V: "You'll be minding the house during the season, Maccachin." Y: "That's right..." Y: "It'll be my first time in a Grand Prix series without Victor in the lineup." shi: "I bet if you show up with Victor as your coach, they'll think you stole him from the sport." Yuko: "Maybe skating fans worldwide hate you now!" Yuko: "Sorry! We're on your side, Yuri-kun!" Minako: "Yeah, we are. I'll come cheer you on this season, too! First up is the Cup of China!" Kids: "Huh? Yuri, last year... In the Nationals..." Y: "I think I finished eleventh because I messed up my prep." shi: "I see... So you have to compete in the block championships." V: "What?" Y: "Oh, we're talking about domestic competitions." Yuko: "To explain, Yuri-kun had a big-time loss in last year's Nationals. So this year, he has to work his way up from qualifying competitions. So his first event this season is the Chu-Shikoku-Kyushu Regional Championship in September." Yuko: "It'll be his comeback competition!" shi: "Ow. Well, you'll breeze through that." Kids: "Oh, but Minami-kun from Fukuoka will be competing in it! Yeah, he beat Yuri in the Nationals. Minami Kenjiro from Kyushu, said to be the #1 star among younger skaters!" Y: "Right..." Y: "It's already been more than six months since December, when I thought I was done for." Ydad: "Good, good. We can cheer you on this year, too!" Ydad: "Good luck." Y: "Dad..." Ydad: "We need to use this chance to make money!" Y: "Dad." Ymom: "You'll autograph a sign, won't you?" Y: "Until now, I thought I was fighting all by myself." Y: "But now that Victor's here, that's totally changed." Y: "Some things are still the same." Y: "Some have changed." Y: "Now everything feels so new. I may never be able to regain what I've lost," Y: "but I can clearly see what's in front of me now." Lilia: "Okay, from the very beginning." Lilia: "That's right, Yuri..." Lilia: "That's beautiful." Mila: "He was so reluctant at first," Mila: "but he's becoming more and more like a prima ballerina." Yuri: "I only have a short window before my body changes." Yuri: "I'm going to take advantage of everything I can right now to win." Y: "Figure skaters are only competitive for a short time." Y: "This will probably be my last competitive figure skating season. I don't know how long Victor will stick around or how long my body will hold up." Y: "So please, God..." Y: "Give me Victor's time, if only just for now." V: "Yuri, you haven't named the piece. What will it be?" V: "Yeah, perfect." Y: "September..." Y: "Victor's and my season will finally begin." Y: "It's my first official competition in a while. I'm so nervous..." V: "This is my coaching debut. Yuri, what would you like me to wear?"

Y: "Hello! I'm Katsuki Yuri, one of the top figure skaters certified by the JSF. My first competition this season is the Chu-Shikoku-Kyushu Regional Championship" Y: "I hear I'm the oldest of the four skating in the senior men's single division." Staff: "Skater Katsuki Yuri, you're up first." Y: "Not again... I have the most horrible luck of the draw." Guy: "Hey." Y: "It was the same in the last Nationals... Hm?" Minami: "I got to see you draw the first spot in person again, Yuri-kun! I love it!" Y: "Um..." Minami: "What, you don't remember me? What a shock!" Staff: "Next up is skater Minami." M: "Right here! I'm Minami Kenjiro!" Y: "Who's he again?" M: "Yay! I'm going fourth!" Y: "Face Beet-Red!! It's the First Competition! The Chu-Shikoku-Kyushu Regional Championship." V: "We've timed him to peak at the Grand Prix Final, so this isn't a problem." V: "He can take it easy and earn a personal best score today!" Y: "I think I've told you this many times, but in last year's Nationals, I bombed everything. They wondered if I was injured, but embarrassingly, nothing was physically wrong with me. I lost, despite being a top contender, because I was mentally weak." V: "Wow." Y: "I haven't been in a single competition since last year's Nationals." V: "Maccachin's cheering for you, too!" Y: "I've been practicing with Victor this whole time, Oh, yeah. Real cute." V: "Try to be happier." Y: "but to be honest, I'm still not sure about myself." Y: "I have to figure out if I'm in good enough shape for the Grand Prix series." Y: "The other skaters don't matter." Coach: "Minami-kun, focus, okay? Focus!" Y: "I feel someone staring at me..." Coach: "Remember how focused you were at the Nationals! Don't get overwhelmed by the energy around you!" Y: "Focus! Focus!" Minako: "Wow. What a crowd." shi: "It's been like this since the public practice this morning." Minako: "Is Yuri okay? He tends to get nervous before competitions." Y: "Have you seen Victor? The competition's about to start." V: "Sorry to keep you waiting." Y: "Why did you change clothes?" V: "Today is my glorious debut as a coach, so I should be in formal dress." Y: "You're exactly right..." Minako: "That Russian coach stands out more than the skaters." ews: "Ladies and gentlemen, this event is the senior men's short program." V: "As your coach, what should I say before sending you off to the program?" ews: "Will the competitors please take the ice for your warm-up?" V: "What I'm thinking of right now is..." ews: "You have six minutes." Y: "My goal is to reach the Grand Prix Final. I can't get nervous already at this stage." Minako: "He's nervous..." ews: "Gentlemen, the warm-up has ended. Please leave the ice." Y: "Why is Victor getting all prickly?" V: "Yuri, turn around." Y: "Huh?" V: "Turn around, okay?" Y: "Um, like this?" V: "Seduce me with all you have. If your performance can charm me, you can enthrall the entire audience." V: "That's what I always say in practice, right?" Y: "R-Right." Minako: "Good luck, Yuri!" shi: "Good luck!" Y: "Remember..." Y: "Just skate like you do in practice." Y: "I'm going to become a beautiful pork cutlet bowl!" Y: "Come on, guys! What's with this lukewarm response?" Y: "Back at Hot Springs on Ice, they were way more enthusiastic." Y: "No, I bet Victor would like this step sequence." V: "Yuri! Try to imagine entangling more of the egg. Think of the pork cutlet bowl!" Y: "Right!" V: "Yuri, dance more like you're trying to seduce me." Y: "That's right." Y: "I'm a pork cutlet bowl fatale that enthralls men. First up is a spread eagle into a triple axel." Y: "Great!" Y: "I'll continue the momentum with a quadruple Salchow!" Y: "Over-rotation!" V: "I was drawn to you because of... The way you skate like your body is creating music. Great, Yuri! It's perfect!" Y: "The last jump is a combination, so it's worth the most points. A quad into a triple—" Y: "Crap, it turned into a double." Y: "This is the last element..." Y: "On to the conclusion for the love-crazed couple... Er, so how did it go? That's right, the woman casts aside the man she seduced and leaves for the next man!" Minami: "That was so cool, Yuri-kun! That was awesome!" Y: "Who's that?" Y: "I managed to finish somehow." Y: "I wonder if I did okay." Y: "What does Victor think?" V: "The first half was great. But you were too focused on jumps in the second, so your performance got sloppy." Y: "Right." V: "I don't really like that kind of thing." Y: "Right." Minako: "Why's he getting scolded? He really got the audience fired up." shi: "He may score a personal best..." ews: "The scores, please, for Katsuki Yuri-san." ews: "His short program score: 94.36. He is currently in first place." Minako: "He beat his previous best by almost ten points!" Audience: "Amazing!" Moro: "While this won't be an official record, this would've been among the top ten scores in the world!" V: "Hmm... Since you weren't under pressure, I thought you'd score in the hundreds." Y: "Right, you've scored above a hundred points to break the world record multiple times." V: "Oh, right, Yuri. About tomorrow's free skate..." V: "Lower the difficulty of the jumps and focus on performance." Y: "Huh?" V: "You've never nailed them during practice, have you?" Y: "But..." V: "It's not a bad idea to lower the difficulty early in the season, is it? You should prioritize adjusting your programs to help you reach your peak for the Grand Prix Final." V: "Are you saying you can't listen to your coach?" Minami: "That was amazing!" Minami: "Yuri-kun's pure charms became a rich eros in the best form of betrayal possible!" Kanako: "Minami-kun, get ready. It's almost time." Minami: "Kanako-sensei, you saw it, right? You saw that triple axel? For me, that was a GOE of 3,000,000 points!" Kanako: "Yeah, I hope you can land your Achilles heel, the triple axel, this time." Minami: "Yeah! I'm gonna show Yuri-kun my skating!" Moro: "How do you feel looking ahead to the free skate?" ews: "This concludes the men's singles short program." Y: "Huh? Tomorrow's free skate—" V: "Of course you'll see Yuri be perfect." Minami: "And I managed to land the triple axel, too!" Kanako: "That was your best performance yet!" Minami: "Oh!" Minami: "Did you see my "Lohengrin" performance?" Y: "I was being interviewed, so I didn't. Sorry." Minami: "I even had a similar costume made to the one from your famous "Lohengrin" program." Y: "That's a costume from my dark past..." Minami: "You don't have a dark past!" Minami: "Don't make fun of me for looking up to you for so long and trying to catch up to you! I'm gonna give tomorrow's free skate everything I've got! Please give it all you've got, too, Yuri-kun! I won't forgive you if you slack off!" Moro: "Wow! Skater Minami's issued a challenge! At last year's Nationals, skater Minami Kenjiro finished ahead of skater Katsuki." Y: "He's the one whose total score was way higher than mine because I self-destructed..." Moro: "His first senior division competition will be a clash over a possible changing of the guard!" Y: "Minami-kun!" Moro: "Here in Okayama, skater Katsuki will face him" Y: "Crap..." Moro: "with the first public performance of his free skate program! The Chu-Shikoku-Kyushu Regional Figure Skating Championship's men's singles free skate is about to begin." Moro: "All eyes are on skater Katsuki Yuri and his coach Victor Nikiforov." Moro: "Katsuki ended yesterday's short program in first place by a large margin, scoring a personal best of 94.36. In his free skate, he will attempt three quads." Y: "Victor and I decided to lower the difficulty and only do one quad, but..." Minami: "I'm gonna try a quad, too!" A: "Seriously? You've never landed one, not even in practice!" B: "I'll try one, too!" A: "Okay, I'll try, too." ews: "Ladies and gentlemen, we'll now begin the senior men's singles free skate event. Will the competitors please take the ice for your warm-up? You have six minutes." Y: "No, no. I have to focus on myself!" V: "Yuri..." V: "How can someone who can't motivate others motivate himself?" V: "I'm disappointed in you." Y: "What about my own motivation that he just destroyed?" ews: "Representing Hakata Skate Club, please welcome Minami Kenjiro-san." Kanako: "Hey, are you listening to me? You're nervous, aren't you, Minami-kun?" s: "Good luck, Minami-kun!" Minami: "You don't have a dark past!" Minami: "Don't make fun of me for looking up to you for so long and trying to catch up to you!" Y: "Good luck, Minami-kun!" Y: "Good luck!" Y: "Minami-kun's firing up the crowd right off! I guess he's popular." Minami: "First, a triple axel." Y: "Oh, he'll make the next one just fine!" Minami: "Next up, a quadruple toe loop!" Y: "Wow. Is he going to go on a roll?" Y: "Man, the way he's so inconsistent... He reminds me of the skater I used to be." Y: "I can't take my eyes off him." Y: "He already has the necessary skill set to compete in figure skating. I can tell by the cheers alone" Y: "that you're the star on the stage." Y: "The scores, please, for Minami Kenjiro-san." Minami: "Yeah! My personal best score!" ews: "Representing Kure Higashi High School Skate Club, please welcome Fujiwara Hikaru-san." Minami: "Go!" A: "Yeah!" ews: "Representing Okayama Fine Arts University High School, please welcome Omiki Yuto-san." B: "Okay, me too!" Bcoach: "Go!" Minami: "Good luck!" Minami: "Great! If he keeps it up, it'll be a personal best for sure!" V: "Yeah, this costume's great. You look beautiful in it." V: "Your lips are chapped." Minako: "I heard he's only doing one quad at the beginning this time, but..." shi: "He hates making compromises, yeah." ews: "Representing Ice Castle Hasetsu, please welcome Katsuki Yuri-san." Moro: "For this first public performance of his free program, the music is an original composition expressing Katsuki's skating career, titled "Yuri on Ice." The program was choreographed by Victor Nikiforov." V: "This program starts off with the Yuri from back when he felt he was fighting alone." V: "The first jump is a quad-triple combination." V: "He's been landing it just fine during practice." Minami: "A quad-double! He nailed it!" V: "He changed the triple to a double? He's changing the jump elements?" V: "Is he going to add a triple in the second half?" V: "Or is he going back to having three quads? Do you remember how I told you to focus more on refining the program than being distracted by jumps?" V: "You look too stiff! This is the part that expresses when I showed up as your coach, right?" V: "You look like you didn't like it at all!" V: "A triple Salchow?" V: "No, a quadruple! He stepped out of the landing." V: "So he did revert the program to having three quads." V: "Shake it off... Good!" V: "A triple loop! That was perfect." V: "Now, Yuri's realized something like love." V: "The second half's coming up, and he already looks tired. An outside spread eagle," V: "then an Ina Bauer..." V: "Skate like you're the most beautiful person on the ice right now." V: "A triple axel!" V: "Good, he hung in there." V: "Next up, a triple flip! Even though he's not nailing his jumps, the audience is getting fired up... It's because he's skating in time with the music." V: "So close!" V: "Yuri's being too impatient today. But that's why" V: "you can't look away!" V: "I told you to make the last jump a triple for the points..." V: "I wonder who he takes after, to be so rebellious toward his coach..." V: "Oh..." V: "It's me!" V: "If I were Yakov, it'd be an instant lecture. And I've done that, too, but..." Minami: "Yuri-kun!" Moro: "He showed his pride as Japan's top skater!" Minako: "Yuri!" Y: "Victor!" V: "Oops, watch the nosebleed." ews: "The scores, please, for Katsuki Yuri-san. His free skate program score: 165.20." V: "It's amazing you scored that high after a jump like that!" V: "Thanks for proving to me that you're able to get a lot of PCS points. You can score even higher, so don't feel down, okay, Yuri?" Minami: "Yuri-kun!" Minami: "I totally lost to you." Minami: "I want to face you in the Grand Prix series someday!" Minami: "Until then, please don't quit! And another thing!" Minami: "Please give me your autograph!" A: "Me, too!" B: "Can I take a photo with you?" Minako: "Yuri! I was so impressed!" Minako: "It was so obvious that you took the younger skaters seriously as rivals." shi: "What if you'd gotten hurt, slamming into the wall like that at the end?!" Y: "S-Sorry. At first, I was just desperate because I didn't want to lose, but somehow, I started having a lot of fun in the middle." Y: "I don't remember a lot about it." m: "Huh?" Y: "Yeah..." Y: "Anyway, that was the most fun I've ever had while skating in competition." Mila: "What're you doing, Yuri? Oh, you saw the photo of Victor and the Japanese Yuri, didn't you? Jealous?" Yuri: "Shut up, hag!" Moro: "Next, we have the skater Katsuki Yuri, who's thought to be the next leader of men's singles in Japan. Please, show us." Moro: "Um... Please show your theme for this year. Skater Katsuki?" Y: "My theme in this year's Grand Prix series is "love." I've been helped by many people in my competitive skating career thus far, but I've never thought about "love" until now." Y: "Though I was blessed with support, I couldn't take full advantage of it. I always felt like I was fighting alone. But since Victor showed up to be my coach, I've seen something totally different. My "love" is not something clear-cut like romantic love, but the more abstract feeling of my relationships with Victor, family, and hometown..." Y: "I was finally able to realize that something like love exists all around me." Y: "Victor is the first person I've ever wanted to hold on to. I don't really have a name for that emotion, but I have decided to call it "love." Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it, I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal!" shi: "So we..." Yuko: "...were abstract." Minako: "After all this time we've supported him..." V: "When you come back, we'll burn that unfashionable necktie, Yuri." V: "Let's buy a new one before the Cup of China." Cele: "Victor..." Cele: "Unfortunately for you, it won't be Yuri who wins the Cup of China. It will be Phichit Chulanont." Phichit: "Wasn't that jump great? Did you get a good video of it?" Cele: "Oh, sorry..." Phichit: "What?!" Phichit: "We have to post it online as soon as possible!" V: "Dajia hao! I want to eat Shanghai crab!" Y: "Victor, our event is in Beijing." V: "Crab, crab, shrimp, shrimp, xiao long bao!"

V: "Maccachin, behave while I'm gone, okay?" V: "Don't you dare steal any steamed buns." Y: "Victor, we're going to miss the flight!" Y: "Okay, I'm off to Beijing." Ymom: "We'll be rooting for you." Kids: "Good luck, Yuri!" Minako: "I'll be right behind you!" V: "I haven't flown coach in a while. Want to get some champagne?" Y: "Um, Victor, can I get some sleep?" V: "I'm surprised you can sleep in such a cramped seat!" Y: "Hello. I'm Katsuki Yuri, one of the top men's figure skaters certified by the JSF. And at last... China's On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Short Program." Tv: "Welcome to the Figure Skating Grand Prix Series, where top figure skaters will compete to determine the world's best figure skater." Sign 0212: "This event marks the start of the race to the podium." Tv: "At Skate America, Leo de la Iglesia won his first gold in his home country, while Guang-hong Ji placed third. Both will now compete in the Cup of China. At Skate Canada, Jean-Jacques Leroy, the bronze medalist at last year's Grand Prix Final, won the gold. We also saw an awe-inspiring Yuri Plisetsky, age 15, win silver at his first senior event." Tv: "And finally, tomorrow will be our third event in the series, the Cup of China. Japan's late bloomer, Katsuki Yuri, age 23, will be aiming for his second consecutive Final qualification." Y: "My theme in this year's Grand Prix series is "love."" Tv: "He's declared his program theme to be "love."" Y: "I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal!" Tv: "Survive with the power of love." Y: "Huh? How much power of love do I have?" V: "Yuri, let's go have hot pot already." Y: "Hey, I'm in the middle of an interview!" V: "Oh, Yakov!" V: "Hey, hey... Want to come eat hot pot with us? Hey, why are you ignoring me?" Yakov: "Victor!" Yakov: "Listen, I feel sick when I see you playing pretend-coach." Yakov: "I'd prefer if you'd only talk to me when you're ready to plead for your return to skating. Got it?" V: "Yakov's not interested. Let's go." V: "Look, Yuri! Shanghai crab! Drunken shrimp! Duck blood!" V: "Vkusno! Huh? You're not eating the shrimp?" Y: "It's right before the competition, so I want to avoid raw food." V: "It's really good." Y: "I ran my mouth too much at the press conference. What will people say if I lose after all that?" Phichit: "Oh, Yuri?" Y: "Phichit-kun!" Phi: "So this is where you were eating." V: "Hi." Phi: "Oh, hello. But talk about a coincidence." Phi: "Oh, can I invite Ciao Ciao?" Y: "Huh?" Phi: "You want to see him, don't you?" Y: "Not really..." Celes: "Ciao, ciao!" Y: "Um, hello." V: "Want some shrimp?" Celes: "Oh, that kind of food doesn't agree with me—" V: "It's really good!" Leo: "Guang-hong!" Leo: "I thought I'd find you eating here." Ghj: "Leo-kun..." Leo: "I was worried because you weren't answering." Ghj: "Sorry, sorry." Leo: "I got a call from Phichit. He wants me to come to a hot pot place to interpret." Ghj: "Huh? But I don't like hot pot." Leo: "Victor's there, too." Ghj: "I'll go!" Leo: "Right?" Ghj: "I want a selfie with him to post online!" Leo: "Okay, let's get right to it." Gjh: "Yay!" Popo: "So young..." Leo: "Hurry up and finish." Y: "Oh, sorry." Y: "Victor's had way too much to drink." V: "Let's all go to a hot spring." Phichit: "Celestino, keep it together!" V: "Hot spring... Hasetsu Hot Springs, great place..." Y: "Victor. What are you saying? Hey! Don't strip!" Ghj: "This is getting kind of R-rated... Is it okay to post this online?" Y: "Hey! Someone help!" Leo: "Don't. Restrain yourself." Ladies: "Hey, did you see the photo Phichit-kun upped? That was pretty risqué!" Y: "Phichit-kun!" Phi: "Sorry. I couldn't stop myself from sharing it online." Lghj: "Hey, we managed to hold back. Cheater." Y: "Now they'll think I was fooling around before the competition. If I mess up now..." Chri: "Yuri, why didn't you invite me?" Y: "Chris..." Chris: "Looks like you got into shape." Chris: "Guess your master's giving you very thorough training." V: "Chris! How's it going?" Chris: "I'm not motivated without you." Phi: " Hey, Victor and Chris are together!" Leo: "I want a photo with them at the banquet!" V: "You're always like that at the start of a season." Coach: "Victor!" Coach: "Chris is right. He can't get serious without you. Come back to the fold." Girl: "Victor! Are you really a coach now? Just split up with him already." Chris: "Yuri, the sin of keeping Victor to yourself is grave." Girl: "You know it won't last. Don't you feel sorry for him?" Chris: "The whole world is hoping for his return." Moro: "Now, Group 1 in the Men's Singles Short Program is about to take to the ice." Cele: "Listen, Phichit. I'm certain that these short and free skate programs will become your signature performances." Cele: "Looks like I don't need to say anything more." Moro: "First up is Phichit Chulanont from Thailand, age 20. After placing fourth in Skate America, the first Grand Prix Series event, he'll need to place second or higher here in order to qualify for the finals." Cele: "This will be the first time a Thai skater performs this piece." Cele: "Write a new chapter for skating in Southeast Asia!" Moro: "The music is "Shall We Skate?" from The King and the Skater." Moro: "The audience is already clapping to the familiar theme. The King and the Skater was the first movie he saw, and it's had a big influence on him. His first planned jump is a triple axel." Moro: "Nailed it." Y: "He's said he wanted to skate to this music for a long time." Y: "Phichit-kun's giving everything he has to this season, too." Pich: "Many different people have skated to this music," Pich: "but I'll overwrite that history!" Pich: "This music is mine!" Moro: "More jumps are on the way as his program enters its second half. The first is a combination." Taka: "A triple Lutz, followed by a triple toe loop." Cele: "Yes!" Molo: "Now we have a jump added to the second half to secure a win..." Taka: "The quadruple toe loop." Moro: "Oh, he fell!" Taka: "But he got enough rotations in." Moro: "He got up immediately, so his program's proceeding." Taka: "Following this, he'll do a combination spin." Cele: "He's got the entire audience on his side." Y: "He's made the music his own..." Cele: "Bravo!" Moro: "An amazing performance by Phichit Chulanont!" Ji: "Oh, man..." Coach: "Keep it together!" Moro: "His short program score is 86.75! It's his new personal best by a large margin!" Phi: "Yeah!" Moro: "Next is a skater who made a grand debut in the first event, Skate America, by finishing third. Here's Guang-hong Ji from China, age 17, now competing on his home turf." Audience: "Guang-hong! Jiayou!" Moro: "He is skating to "Le Parfum des Fleurs."" Jgh: "Phichit-kun was amazing." Jgh: "Wait, I can do this." Moro: "His first planned jump is a quadruple toe loop, which was just added to his roster this year." Phi: "Guang-hong landed his quadruple toe loop!" Y: "After seeing Phichit-kun's performance, I'm no longer unsure." Y: "People who want to see Victor skate will never be satisfied with my skating." Y: "The people who're cheering for me wouldn't be satisfied with the old me, either. If that's the case," Y: "I want to be hated as the man who took Victor from the whole world!" Chris: "Victor, is he all right?" V: "Shh!" V: "I've never seen Yuri like this." Mila: "Yuri, it's about to start. Come watch with us." Yuri: "I'm fine." Yuri: "I'll watch from over here." Moro: "The last skater from Group 1 is Katsuki Yuri from Japan." V: "The time to seduce me by picturing pork cutlet bowls and women during your skate is over. You can fight with your own personal charm." V: "You can envision it just fine, can't you?" Y: "Don't ever take your eyes off me." V: "He's far too different today. What's flipped his switch?" Moro: "K-Katsuki Yuri from Japan is skating his first program of the Grand Prix series. He is skating to "On Love: Eros." He's declared this year's theme to be "love."" Taka: "Well, he's certainly changed drastically from previous seasons. Maybe living with his coach, Victor, has changed things for him mentally." Moro: "Katsuki has told us he'd like to pursue eros in his short program." Y: "They can laugh at me all they want. They can think it's not like me." Y: "But everyone really wants to know the new me, don't they?" V: "Perfect!" Moro: "What an amazing step sequence! That was wonderful!" Phi: "Wow." Moro: "Katsuki Yuri has planned all his jumps for the second half of the program to get higher scores so he can win the Grand Prix Final." Taka: "Well, this will be tough." Moro: "The first planned jump is a triple axel. Here we go, from a spread eagle into..." Moro: "a triple axel. Nice distance! Okay, next up is a quadruple Salchow. In competition, he's landed it less than 30% of the time." Taka: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "He nailed it!" Y: "I'm the only one who can satisfy Victor." Y: "I'm the only one in the whole world who knows Victor's love." Y: "I'll prove that now." Taka: "Quadruple toe loop, followed by a triple toe loop." Moro: "He did it! So far, all the jumps have been flawless!" Chris: "He's totally different from last year..." Moro: "He's about to complete a short program with the highest technical difficulty in history!" Moro: "You're witnessing the birth of a new Katsuki Yuri! Love wins! No one can deny that this was a perfect performance! It's a personal best for Katsuki Yuri." Phi: "Yuri!" Moro: "The audience is still on their feet! He used last season's disappointment as a springboard to learn what love is, and he's undergone an astounding transformation!" V: "That was perfect. Yuri!" Chris: "The kiss and cry's that way." Moro: "Well, his coach, Victor, looks very happy!" V: "Yuri, did it feel that great?" Y: "Well, I was hoping everyone else felt great watching me." Moro: "And we have his short program score: 106.84! A new personal best! He's currently in first place!" V: "Yuri! Of course they'd feel great watching a performance like that." V: "You're the best student." Coach: "You don't look amused, Chris." Leo: "Focus, focus!" Phi: "Wow. He's never scored that high before." Celes: "Don't worry about it. The free skate is where it counts. Besides, Yuri isn't used to being the one to beat." Yakov: "Listen. You've been in Victor's shadow all this time, but now is your chance. Go make your mark." Popo: "Got it." Mila: "Hey, Georgi's about to start." Yuri: "Whatever." Popo: "Now that Victor's gone, I'm the new top skater in Russia." Moro: "Georgi Popovich, age 27, from Russia. This season's theme is "heartbreak." He is skating to "Carabosse" from The Sleeping Beauty." Taka: "A triple axel." Mila: "This still cracks me up every time." Popo: "As the evil witch, Carabosse, I cast a curse on her." Popo: "Only true love's kiss can awaken her." Exgf: "Dasvidaniya." Popo: "But there is no such thing as true love!" Mila: "Oh, I heard he broke up with the ice dancer he always used to post kissy photos with. She hooked up with a different guy recently." Mila: "Did you know that, Yuri?" Yuri: "Shut up, hag!" Taka: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "What an emotional performance!" Mila: "Yikes, he's actually crying." Yuri: "Seriously?" Popo: "I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth, and I'll find you! "Forgive me. I was wrong, Georgi." "Never, you traitor!" "No! Oh!"" Taka: "A triple Lutz, triple loop combination." Mila: "I can almost hear her terrified voice." Yuri: "He's way too into this performance." Moro: "His step sequence is intense." Popo: "I will cast an eternal curse on her." Popo: "I am an evil witch!" Popo: "My curse will cause her to sleep for eternity." Yakov: "Georgi, I'm finally seeing a performance worthy of who you are." Moro: "Georgi Popovich's short program score is 98.17. He is currently in second place." Mila: "Oh, right. His ex is also competing in the Cup of China." Yuri: "Seriously? That's gotta suck." Moro: "Leo de la Iglesia, age 19, from the United States." Phi: "Leo-kun's performance has been really polished ever since the first event." Moro: "He is skating to "Still Alive," choreographed by the skater himself." Leo: "It's a song I like, so I just want to skate the way I see the music. That's all." Taka: "A triple axel." Leo: "I want to fill the whole world with things I like!" Jgh: "Man, Leo-kun's so cool." Phi: "He's switched things up even more since Skate America." Moro: "After winning Skate America, he is closest among those competing in the Cup of China to qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. There are no quads in his program," Taka: "A triple flip, triple toe loop combination." Moro: "He's nailing all the elements to go for a high score!" Leo: "All I know for sure is that I have no idea how I would've found courage in myself if I hadn't come across music." Taka: "A triple Lutz." Moro: "He nailed the last jump with a flourish!" Y: "This program maximizes Leo-kun's strengths." Moro: "That was Leo de la Iglesia from the United States. Hear the crowd roar! That was a solid short program!" Moro: "What an amazing program after Skate America!" Moro: "Leo de la Iglesia's short program score is 87.98." Leo: "Thanks! Bravo!" Moro: "He is currently in third place." Jhg: "Wow." Phi: "Man, Leo-kun beat me, too. Damn it..." Moro: "The final skater is Christophe Giacometti, age 25, from Switzerland. He's the silver medalist in last year's Grand Prix Final." Minako: "He's just oozing sex appeal!" Chris: "I thought it'd be a boring season without Victor," Chris: "but I don't want to lose to you, Yuri." Chris: "Mature eros is my specialty." Moro: "He is skating to "Intoxicated."" Moro: "He's planned a quadruple Lutz right off the bat." Moro: "Oh, it turned into a triple." Chris: "Oh, well... I'll take it slow so I peak at the Grand Prix Final." Taka: "A combination spin. Beautiful position and speed." V: "He said he wasn't finding motivation," V: "but Chris never goes into a major slump. He's a slow starter, so he doesn't try to peak in the first event." V: "But today, he's really going all-out on sex appeal." Chris: "Yuri, your innocent sex appeal is a violent force. I'm the only one in the world who can win against that." Taka: "A triple axel." Chris: "I won't be able to settle down until I show just how far ahead of you I am." Taka: "A triple flip, followed by a triple toe loop." Moro: "There he goes! His last spin is met with loud cheers from the crowd!" Chris: "I think I'm gonna come..." Moro: "Christophe Giacometti has delivered a euphoric short program! He's entranced us all!" Minako: "Chris! He's a weapon of mass sex appeal." Y: "I guess today's sex appeal award goes to Chris." Phi: "The ice looks soaking wet." Moro: "Christophe Giacometti's short program score is 85.60. He's ended the short program in fifth place." Y: "Huh?" Y: "Then am I..." Jgh: "I've still got a chance!" Chris: "I'm good at catching up. I'm confident about my free program." Phi: "I'm gunning to pass you in the free program, Yuri." Leo: "I'll get my ticket to the Grand Prix Final with my free program!" Yakov: "Finishing in second is within my expectations for the short program. I won't lose to a third-rate coach." Moro: "At the end of the men's short program here at the Cup of China, Katsuki Yuri from Japan is in first place!" Ymom: "That boy isn't used to being in first place." Moro: "Skater Katsuki, your thoughts on the upcoming free skate?" Ymom: "I hope he'll be okay." Y: "W-With my coach, Victor, I'll win with the power of love!" V: "Win, win!" V: "Hey, listen up! My Yuri's in first going into the free skate!" Y: "Victor!" V: "He scored a personal best after a flawless performance!" Y: "Come on!" Y: "Next time, Seventh Skate: China's On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Free Skate." V: "Pressure?"

Y: "I'm Katsuki Yuri, a figure skater representing Japan who's in the middle of the Grand Prix Series' Cup of China! I ended the short program in first place after scoring a personal high score! I'm now within reach of my first victory in a Grand Prix Series event!" Ydad: "Congratulations, Yuri. We got really fired up!" Yuko: "That was the hottest performance ever!" shi: "Keep it up in your free program!" Kids: "Yuri, that was awesome! Good luck! Awesome, awesome!" Y: "China's On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Free Skate." V: "Yuri, you haven't slept, have you?" Y: "I-I-I did! A little bit, anyway." V: "Nap until this evening's event starts." V: "It'll be fine. I always slept in until the last minute before competitions, too." Y: "Victor! Did you set an alarm?!" Moro: "We're at the third event of the Grand Prix Series, the Cup of China. The men's singles free skate is about to start!" Y: "Huh? It won't open." V: "Yuri, were you unable to take a nap?" Y: "Huh? I did nap! I did!" V: "I forbid you from doing jumps in the six-minute warm-up." Y: "Huh?!" V: "That's an order from your coach, Yuri." Moro: "Now, in the second half of the event, Group 2 is taking the ice." V: "If he flubs a jump during the warm-up, he may lose even more confidence, and it'd negatively impact his free skate. Yuri gets nervous easily." Moro: "Let's hope skater Katsuki is all right. He looks rather glum after the warm-up." Ymom: "Oh, my." shi: "That face..." Yuko: "We've seen that face often." V: "Well, it's common for skaters to nail something they flubbed during practice!" Y: "I'm sorry..." V: "Well, just continue warming up, nice and easy." Ghcoach: "Guang-hong, keep it together. You have the perfect program that we prepared just for today!" Audience: "Guang-hong!" Ghcoach: "Become China's hero!" Moro: "First up is Guang-hong Ji, China's young ace, age 17. He's in sixth place after the short program." Moro: "He is skating to "The Inferno," from the movie Shanghai Blade." Ghj: "I went with this music because my coach pushed it so hard, but how does skating as an underworld assassin help me become a hero?" Moro: "Oh! It looks like he over-rotated, but that's another quadruple toe loop, following the one in his short program!" Ghj: "I've been living in Shanghai's seamy underbelly, but this is my last job." Ghj: "With my trusty sword, I can handle it just fine on my own!" Taka: "A triple axel, single loop, and a triple Salchow." Ghj: "All right. It's going even better than it did during the warm-up." Moro: "He's nailed all his jumps in the first half!" Moro: "Will he grab a ticket to the Grand Prix Final in his very first Grand Prix series?" Moro: "There will be more jumps in the second half." Taka: "A triple flip, followed by a triple toe loop... He fell!" Ghj: "Guess I won't be catching up with a flawless performance to place first." Taka: "A triple loop, followed by a double loop." Moro: "He's back on track!" Ghj: "How did the story go from here? The protagonist infiltrates the enemy lair and fights his way to the top," Ghj: "where the boss awaits." Ghj: "He is reunited with longtime allies." Ghj: "Now that the pressure's off, there's opportunity!" Moro: "Here comes the step sequence. What speed! It's like watching a car chase! He's taking us right to the climax." Ghj: "The protagonist has a duel with the enemy organization's boss. His allies are hunted by the organization." Moro: "The last jump is a double axel." Moro: "Success!" Ghj: "My Grand Prix Series will end here," Ghj: "but the Four Continents and the Worlds are still waiting for me." Ghj: "I'll raise the technical difficulty of my programs and claw my way to the podium!" Ghj: "I'm not the kind of man who'd die in a ditch here!" Moro: "Guang-hong Ji, enveloped in loud applause! Guang-hong Ji's combined score is 248.69. He's currently in first place." Ghj: "I'm going to quit all social media to practice!" Giacoach: "Chris, like I keep saying, just go at your own pace." Gia: "Right." Moro: "Next, in fifth after the short program, Christophe Giacometti, representing Switzerland, age 25. He is skating to "Rapsodie Espagnole." An error in the short program caused his technical score to fall below that of China's Guang-hong Ji, but his presentation score went well above to place him fifth." Moro: "In his free skate, he has prepared three quads in the first half." Moro: "The first jump is his signature move, the high-difficulty quadruple Lutz!" Moro: "Success!" Giacoach: "He's far from where he was at the European Championships, but he's still in competitive mode after the short program. That's unusual." Moro: "Next up is a quadruple Salchow." Gia: "Next is his triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow combination." Gia: "Take off in front of that ad." Gia: "And..." Gia: "There!" Moro: "He nailed the jump combination!" V: "Yuri, let's warm up in a different spot." V: "What's the place with the fewest people?" Gia: "I'm the only one who can skate exactly the way I want. I thought Victor was the same as me, living for life on the ice." Taka: "Quadruple Salchow, double toe loop." Moro: "That was a perfect landing!" Gia: "It's not like you to leave the ice and find someone you want to protect, Victor. We met ten years ago, when you'd won the European Championships" Gia: "and I'd just debuted in the senior division." Gia: "Victor! Congrats!" V: "What's your name?" Gia: "Christophe Giacometti!" V: "Okay. Chris," V: "see you at the Worlds." Gia: "Yeah!" Gia: "Yuri can't surpass you. I'll win this season!" Gia: "And I'll bring Victor back to the ice!" Taka: "A triple axel." Moro: "He landed his last jump!" Gia: "The next time you come to stand by me, I believe I'll be the one standing in the middle." Gia: "I think I'm gonna come again..." Minako: "Th-That was perfect!" Moro: "His total after the short program is 283.81." Giacoach: "Bravo!" Moro: "He leads Guang-hong Ji by a huge margin," Gia: "Merci!" Moro: "taking first place!" Y: "Victor, what are the current standings?" V: "O-Okay, Yuri. First, let's take deep breaths." Moro: "Thailand's Phichit Chulanont, age 20." Moro: "He is skating to "Terra Incognita," from The King and the Skater II." Taka: "A triple axel!" Phi: "Yeah! I'm going to become Thailand's future!" Ciao: "The audience has been in love with Phichit since his short program yesterday. Unlike Yuri, he has tremendous innate flair." Moro: "The loud cheers speak to the high expectations we have for Phichit Chulanont. Coming up next is a triple Lutz." Phi: "Chris and Yuri are always ahead of me, with their two quads and higher ratings on their five components. With only one quad under my belt," Phi: "the only way I can stay ahead is to put all my quads in the second half for more points! I'm the one who'll advance to the Grand Prix Final!" Moro: "This expressive footwork is also one of his unique qualities as a Thai skater." Moro: "Here come the jumps in the second half, the first quad..." Taka: "A quadruple toe loop!" Moro: "Success!" Phi: "Until very recently, I bet no one thought a Thai skater would land a quad at a Grand Prix series event. I've always believed in myself, though!" Taka: "Quadruple toe loop, followed by a double toe loop!" Moro: "He landed the second quad, too!" Ciao: "Bravo!" Phi: "It's something only I can do, not copying anyone else." Moro: "The only remaining jumps are a triple flip, single loop, double flip combination." Moro: "He nailed it! All his jumps were flawless!" Moro: "Figure skating history in Thailand... no, in Asia... is being rewritten before our eyes" Moro: "by 20-year-old Phichit Chulanont!" Phi: "Okay." V: "Don't listen!" Moro: "In his first event, Skate America, Chulanont finished fourth. In his second event, the Cup of China, will he score his first victory? If so, he'll be on the cusp of becoming the first Thai skater to advance to the Grand Prix Final! Oh! His total score is 285.76! He took the lead over Giacometti!" Phi: "Yeah!" Ciao: "Well done, student." Moro: "This is his season's top score, of course!" Phi: "Please root for me in the Grand Prix Final!" Ciao: "Hey, you don't know if you'll make it yet." Phi: "Oh, right." Leo: "I won Skate America." Leocoach: "That's right!" Leo: "I ended yesterday's short program in third." Leocoach: "Well done!" Leo: "Of everyone here, I'm the closest to the Grand Prix Final!" Leocoach: "That's right!" Moro: "Representing the United States, Leo de la Iglesia, age 19." V: "I understand how you might be affected by other skaters' standings if you were younger. But why is Yuri so nervous?" V: "How can I motivate Yuri?" V: "I have no idea." Y: "V-Victor? It's almost time. We need to get back." V: "Skaters' hearts are as fragile as glass." V: "If their hearts are so fragile..." V: "Yuri." Y: "Huh?" V: "Let's try shattering his into pieces. If you mess up this free skate and miss the podium," V: "I'll take responsibility by resigning as your coach." Y: "Why would you say something like that, like you're trying to test me?" V: "It shattered! Uh, sorry, Yuri. I wasn't being serious—" Y: "I'm used to being blamed for my own failures!" Y: "But this time, I'm anxious because my mistakes would reflect on you, too! I've been wondering if you secretly want to quit!" V: "Of course I don't." Y: "I know!" V: "I'm not good with people crying in front of me. I don't know what I should do. Should I just kiss you or something?" Y: "No! Just have more faith than I do that I'll win! You don't have to say anything. Just stand by me!" Moro: "Leo de la Iglesia from the United States" Leocoach: "Leo, you're an artist." Moro: "is currently in sixth after his free skate." Leocoach: "Your prayer reached the world." Leo: "Yeah. I'll work hard in the US Nationals." Moro: "Next on the ice is Georgi Popovich, age 27, representing Russia. He is skating to "A Tale of the Sleeping Prince."" Popo: "Anya, where are you? Why are you leaving me behind?" Popo: "I love you so much!" Taka: "Here's a quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop combination." Moro: "His theme for this season is "heartbreak." He said he hopes people will notice his new range of artistic expression in his performance." Popo: "Sorry I cast an eternal curse on you, my princess." Popo: "I'm sure you've been waiting for your prince's kiss all this time." Moro: "Here comes a triple loop." Anya: "Let's go." Bf: "Anya?" Popo: "Anya, don't run away! I'm the one who'll protect you!" Popo: "No! Anya, it can't be true!" Popo: "I refuse to believe it!" Moro: "Next up is a quadruple Salchow." Moro: "He fell!" Yakov: "Wake up! Of all my students, you've been the most receptive to my instructions. That was one of your weaknesses, as well." Yakov: "But this program realizes all the things Victor lacks as a skater. Skate with more confidence!" Moro: "Next is a triple flip." Moro: "Great! He carries himself with such dignity!" Popo: ""Please wake me up."" Popo: "I can hear your voice, Anya. No matter what happens, I will kiss you." Popo: "I promise to save you. I'll always be your ally. That's why I promise to save you." Popo: "I'll save you right now. You're not alone." Popo: "Victor, how does it feel to watch me from where you're standing now?" Popo: "From now on, it's my time to shine!" Yuri: "Oops, I forgot to watch the free skate." Yuko: "I wonder if Yuri-kun's okay." Yuko: "Don't his eyes look red?" Kids: "You're right!" shi: "I wonder if something happened between him and Victor." V: ""You don't have to say anything."" Y: "Just have more faith than I do that I'll win!" V: "I should have asked Yakov what to do as a coach in situations like this." Moro: "Georgi Popovich's total score is 252.44. He's currently in third place." Popo: "I must take this program to the next level before the Russian Nationals." Yakov: "There's a lot to work on." Moro: "We now have our last skater on the ice, Katsuki Yuri from Japan, in first place after the short program." Yakov: "If your student's trying to console you, you still have a long way to go as a coach, Vitya." Moro: "He is skating to "Yuri on Ice."" Y: "I feel a lot better after crying." Y: "Victor's expression when I started to cry was priceless." V: "Why is he smiling?" Y: "I've cried after a match before, but that's the first time before a match." Y: "Um, so the first jump... A quadruple toe loop, double toe loop combination." Y: "Better than I expected." Moro: "His first quad was a success." Moro: "In this free skate, Katsuki Yuri plans to do three quads of two different types." Ciao: "He's unusually relaxed today." Y: "Victor's too inexperienced as a coach. It's not like my mental weakness started just now." Y: "He should be prepared for this much." Y: "Stupid Victor!" Moro: "A quadruple Salchow." Y: "Oh, I made it." V: "Perfect, Yuri!" Moro: "His theme for this season is "love."" Y: "Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it," Y: "I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal!" Moro: "Katsuki Yuri made an emphatic declaration at the press conference." Taka: "A triple loop." Moro: "Beautiful." Moro: "Next is one of his favorites, the triple axel." Moro: "Oops, he touched down!" Y: "I might have messed up on controlling the jump's speed. It went pretty well, despite not doing it during warm-up. Next up is a triple flip. Oh, I wonder how Victor would react if I made the last quad a flip instead of a toe loop." Moro: "Coming next is a triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow combination." Moro: "He over-rotated that one." Y: "I over-rotated, but I'm not as tired as I should be, given I haven't slept." Moro: "A triple Lutz, triple toe loop combination. Even in the second half, he's not showing any sign of fatigue. Moving on to the step sequence." Y: "I want to become stronger..." Y: "I can become stronger." Y: "I can surpass Victor's wildest imagination!" Moro: "He's planned a quadruple toe loop for his final jump." Moro: "I-It's a quadruple flip! He fell, but there appeared to be enough rotations! The quadruple flip was a signature move of Victor Nikiforov, his coach. Not even Nikiforov ever did a jump this difficult at the end of a program, when fatigue would be at its peak! Here's a man who'll go above and beyond our expectations, Katsuki Yuri!" Minako: "Huh? Huh? Was that a flip?" Y: "Is he crying?" Y: "Is he mad?" Y: "Which is it?" Y: "Victor!" Y: "I did great, right?" V: "This was the only thing I could think of to surprise you more than you've surprised me." Y: "Really? In the Cup of China, Phichit-kun won his first gold," Y: "and I kept Chris in check to win silver." V: "Now that Yuri can do a quadruple flip, he'll definitely win at the Rostelecom Cup and advance to the Grand Prix Final. I'm looking forward to going to Russia as his coach." Mila: "Did you hear that?" Yuri: "I'll make you into borscht in Moscow," Yuri: "you pig bastard!" V: "Say the name of the Moscow airport we're heading to ten times, Yuri." Y: "Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo, Shere..." V: "Next time, Eighth Skate: Yuri vs. Yuri. The Horror!! Rostelecom Cup, Short Program." Y: "One step from the Grand Prix Final!"

s: "Look! Yakov's team is here! Yuratchka! Yuri!" Yuri: "Mila, watch my luggage." Mila: "Huh? Oh. Coach Yakov, Yuri's disappeared." Yakov: "Oh, yeah. His family in Moscow's coming to pick him up." Yuri: "My name is Yuri Plisetsky." Yuri: "In my senior debut, I'm aiming for number one in the world. I'm the Ice Tiger of Russia." Gramps: "Oh, Yuri!" Yuri: "Grandpa!" Yuri: "S-Sorry, I forgot you had a bad back." Gramps: "Yuri, I made my usual pirozhkis for you." Yuri: "Grandpa, have you ever had a pork cutlet bowl?" Gramps: "Pork cutlet bowl?" Yuri: "I had them back in Japan. They're really tasty!" Gramps: "Are the pirozhkis not very good?" Yuri: "No, that's not what I meant." ews: "Our national hero, Victor Nikiforov, has returned to Russia as a coach in the Figure Skating Grand Prix Series." Y: "Yuri vs. Yuri. The Horror!! Rostelecom Cup, Short Program." ews: "How do you feel about returning to Russia? When will you return to skating?" V: "Until the Grand Prix Final is over, I won't comment on any future plans. Right now, I see a lot of potential in Katsuki Yuri's skating." V: "I'd like you all to focus on Yuri at the Rostelecom Cup." Yuri: "I'm in it, too!" ews: "If the skater Yuri has that much charisma, don't you want to face him as a fellow competitor?" V: "Hey, it's Yurio!" ews: "He's right. It's Yuri Plisetsky!" V: "Did you all see the short program I put together for Yurio?" Yuri: "Quit acting like you're still the top Russian figure skater." Yuri: "I'm the star in this event!" Y: "Oh, it's Seung Gil Lee from Korea." Y: "Unlike the Cup of China, there's no one here I'm friendly with..." Michele: "If you want to date my little sister, you'll have to beat me first!" Emil: "Sorry, sorry." Sala: "Mickey!" Sala: "Stop, we're just going out for a bite." Michele: "Oh? Sala's leagues above any other woman, idiot!" Sala: "Hi, Yuri. Hi, Seung Gil. Do you want to come with—" Sgl: "No." Sala: "Hey!" Sala: "If you're turning a lady down, can't you be more considerate?" Sgl: "Do I get any benefit out of being friendly with you?" Michele: "What?" Sala: "Hey!" Michele: "How dare you speak that way to Sala?! Want a smackdown?!" Sgl: "Could you step aside?" Michele: "Huh?!" Yuri: "Why are you sneaking around?" Y: "Yurio... Good to see you again." Y: "Um, good luck to both of us in the Rostelecom Cup." Yuri: "Huh? You'll suffer a miserable defeat here in Moscow. I'm going to have Victor stay in Russia." Y: "Right... If I can't rank higher than fourth in this event, I won't make it to the Grand Prix Final." Y: "And if I don't, what will Victor do?" uji: "The Men's Singles Short Program event is about to start here in Moscow. After the series' fifth event, the Trophée de France, the current rankings are as follows." uji: "Only the top six skaters will compete in the Grand Prix Final." uji: "Currently, only two are confirmed qualifiers. One is Otabek Altin of Kazakhstan, who placed second in Skate America, and then won the NHK Trophy as a dark horse. The other is Christophe Giacometti, who placed third in the Cup of China and first at the Trophée de France." Moro: "The last four spots in the Final will be fought over by the following skaters. Canada's Jean-Jacques Leroy, who's on a roll after winning on his home turf at Skate Canada. Korea's Seung Gil Lee, a newcomer to the Grand Prix Series who made great strides by placing second in the NHK Trophy. Michele Crispino of Italy, here today with his sister, Sala, after placing third in the NHK Trophy. Emil Nekola, a rising star from the Czech Republic, who took third at Skate Canada. Russia's own Yuri Plisetsky, who made a brilliant senior debut with a second-place finish at Skate Canada." Moro: "And finally, Japan's Katsuki Yuri, who placed second in the Cup of China. He'll be skating in the final group. The Rostelecom Cup results will also determine whether Thailand's Phichit Chulanont will advance to the Grand Prix Final." Minako: "Ugh, I'm getting disconnected from the livestream! I should've gone to Russia." Yuko: "You three, go to sleep already!" Kids: "No! I want to see it! I want to see it live!" Moro: "Group One's six-minute warm-up has ended." Sgl: "Seung Gil, are you listening to me? Everything you do is for Pyeongchang. What you should be focused on right now is... Seung Gil!" Moro: "Seung Gil Lee of Korea, age 20. In his first event, the NHK Trophy, he drove the crowd wild by skating to this music, "Almavivo."" Moro: "The first jump will be a quad. So far in the world, only Seung Gil Lee has landed this jump in competition." Moro: "A quadruple loop! Success!" Sgl: "The base value is 12.0." Moro: "Seung Gil Lee's theme this season is "greed." He said he'd like to approach this season with a different masculine sex appeal than before." Minako: "His theme's similar to Yuri's. Talk about sex appeal inflation." Kids: "Overflowing... ...masculine... ...sex appeal!" Moro: "Even with the quadruple loop under his belt, with the arsenal necessary to compete on the world stage, Seung Gil still wants to break new ground and personally requested to skate a mambo." Oda: "A triple axel." Moro: "Oh, he fell!" Sgl: "I had enough rotation. The jump was in the second half, so I get a 1.1 multiplier, which means a 9.35 with a deduction of 1." Oda: "A triple Lutz, triple toe loop." Moro: "No mistakes there!" Sgl: "With a 1.1 multiplier, that got me 11.11 points. Now the final element, a step sequence..." Moro: "What a passionate step sequence! His polished execution should be well-received by the judges." Minako: "His face is expressionless, but his steps are out of this world." Kids: "He's evolved even further since the NHK Trophy! Wow!" Emil: "That's a hard act to follow..." Michele: "Yeah, right." Sala: "That was hot!" Michele: "I've never seen you nervous." Emil: "Mickey! Sala! Let's all go to Barcelona!" Moro: "Seung Gil Lee's score is 91.83, a personal best. He's currently in first place!" Moro: "Next up is Emil Nekola of the Czech Republic, age 18." Sgl: "Cheers from the crowd never affect my performance." Michele: "He sure can jump, but if his performance is lackluster..." Sala: "Is it? Once Mickey's done, it's almost time for Group Two." Jj: "Did you all hear that? Emil landed a quadruple loop, too. Applause!" Y: "Huh?" Y: "Oh, sorry. I didn't catch that." Jj: "Victor did the same jump at last year's exhibition. I want to see that again!" V: "I don't recall." Jj: "Aww!" Moro: "Emil Nekola's score is 82.43. He's currently in second place." Emil: "Mickey, you'll one-up me now, right?" Emil: "Mickey, hey!" Moro: "Next up is Michele Crispino of Italy." Emil: "Sala!" Moro: "His sister, Sala, is also here for support." Moro: "He will skate to "L'Homme Armé" from the movie Destiny of Knights." Michele: "See my chivalry, Sala!" Oda: "A triple axel." Sala: "Mickey!" Michele: "I've defeated every single man who's tried to approach Sala so far. I want to skate with Sala forever! My love will take a back seat to no man!" Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "Ah, he fell." Michele: "Sala... I don't want you feeling down because of me when your short program is coming up! As your older brother, and as a man... Only my love, the kind that doesn't rely on physical love, can protect Sala as a lady!" Moro: "The next jump combination is a triple Lutz, triple toe loop." Sala: "Oh, no way..." Moro: "The combination turned into a triple Lutz, triple loop! That combination has a very high difficulty. Among active skaters, only his sister, Sala Crispino, attempts this combination." Oda: "Wow, what a surprise!" Michele: "Sala..." Michele: "I'm sure you'll be able to jump that combination like I just did! Don't worry. We'll always be together." Sala: "Mickey has to reach a place where he can win without my being around." Michele: "Sala!" Sala: "Mickey! If something doesn't change," Sala: "both of us will go down." Moro: "Michele Crispino's score is 89.65." Michele: "All right! Sala!" Moro: "He's currently in second place." Yuri: "Grandpa, you're not coming?" Minako: "Oh, jeez! I still can't connect! Why won't they show the event live on TV?" Minako: "Oh, finally! It's already Yuri's turn!" Kids: "Good luck, Yuri!" Yuko: "Enough already!" Audience: "Victor! Victor! Victor!" Moro: "Katsuki Yuri won second place in the Cup of China with the power of love." Audience: "Victor! Victor! Victor!" Moro: "What kind of performance will he give us here?" Audience: "Victor! Victor!" Y: "The performance has already begun, Victor." V: "You're right." Y: "Don't worry." Y: "I'll show my love to the whole of Russia." Y: "That was so embarrassing. But before the crowd can intimidate me in enemy territory," Y: "I have to intimidate them!" Moro: "Japan's Katsuki Yuri, age 23." Y: "If I lose at the Rostelecom Cup, this may become the last time I can skate this program with Victor at my side as my coach." Y: "Maybe no one in Russia, or even the entire world, wants me to win. Thinking that runs chills up my spine." Y: "I'm the only one who can change that world!" V: "I guess Yuri is more motivated when he's competing away, where expectations are lower." V: "At any rate, he's in his best form so far." Moro: "His first planned jump is a triple axel from a spread eagle." Oda: "A triple axel." Moro: "Very clean!" Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." V: "Yuri! Amazing!" Oda: "A quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop." Moro: "He nailed the last combination, too!" Yuri: "He's refined the program this much since the Hot Springs on Ice event, huh?" Moro: "Another flawless performance, following his last short program in the Cup of China!" Moro: "The crowd's giving him a standing ovation!" V: "Yuri!" Y: "My skating must've gotten my message across." Yuri: "Crap. And here I thought I'd be able to perfect "agape" by having Grandpa watch." V: "Yuri... That was perfect!" Yuri: "Out of my way, pig." Y: "Th-This is Yurio's real agape!" Y: "Nice!" V: "Good!" s: "Yuratchka! Yuri!" Yakov: "Yuri, no need to get tense just because it's the Rostelecom Cup." Lilia: "All the work you did in practice won't betray you. Listen, have confidence in yourself." Yurio: "Huh?" Yurio: "I can't hear very well." Yurio: "Calm down." Yurio: "Calm down!" Moro: "109.97! You did it, Yuri!" Moro: "He's surpassed his personal best again! He's now in first place!" Moro: "Oh, my! Overcome with happiness, Nikiforov kissed Katsuki's skate!" Y: "Yurio! Davai!" Yuri: "Huh?" V: "Good luck, Yurio!" Yakov: "Yuri?" Moro: "The usurper skater of Russia, Yuri Plisetsky, age 15. His program was choreographed by Victor Nikiforov." Yuri: "Damn it, I'm not so down on my luck that I need you guys cheering me on." Moro: "He's skating to "On Love: Agape," a different arrangement of the music used in Katsuki's program, with an opposing theme." Yuri: "Crap! I'm not feeling agape at all. I'm angry!" Moro: "Here comes the first jump, a triple axel." Moro: "Ah, he fell!" Yuri: "Crap! Since last year, I haven't missed that triple axel once until now!" Oda: "A flying sit spin. His position is quite beautiful." Yuri: "I've been pouring blood, sweat, and tears into this since that humiliation, too." Yuri: "I just lack overall experience, that's all." Moro: "The first quad comes in a combination." Oda: "A quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop." Moro: "A fantastic jump combination with great height and flow! With such polish, it's hard to believe he only started doing that this season. And here comes the final jump." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "Beautiful! Yuri Plisetsky of Russia has truly remarkable talent!" Yakov: "Even when he wasn't at his best, he always analyzed his performance mid-program to make a strong comeback." Lilia: "That's right. Have pride in yourself as a work of art until the very end, Yuri." Yuri: "This is damn tough..." Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky has delivered a beautiful short program in response to the local supporters' high expectations here in Moscow!" Audience: "So cute!" Jj: "Oh, ladies first." Yuri: "I forgot there was someone even more annoying than those two." Yuri: "JJ!" Crowd: "The score's up." Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky's score is 98.09, putting him in second. Katsuki Yuri remains in first place. The last competitor is the skater with the most momentum right now," Moro: "Jean-Jacques Leroy of Canada, age 19. He's known as "JJ." He will skate to an original song composed for him, "Theme of King JJ."" Jj: "I'm the only one in the whole wide world who can pull off a dream collaboration with a world-famous rock band!" Oda: "A quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop." Moro: "He's doing mega-jumps right off the bat! He placed third in last year's Grand Prix Final. This season, he has won Skate Canada, and currently has the greatest momentum." Jj: "Watch me do another big one!" Oda: "A triple axel." Moro: "That was another mega-high jump that almost cleared the fence!" Jj: "You might expect a top skater to plan a lot of jumps for the second half of their program, but I'm different. Because I value the collaboration between my skating and the music!" Jj: "It's JJ style!" Jj: "Let's go! Everyone sing along!" Moro: "The lyrics express how JJ is at the top of the world and invite everyone to follow him. What an impressive step sequence. Now, the last jump is a mega-jump that not even Victor Nikiforov ever attempted in the second half, a quadruple Lutz." Moro: "He did it!" Jj: "No one else takes such risks, right? I get them done because... Right, because I'm the king! I never stand still. Or rather, I can't stand still!" Y: "Huh?" s: "JJ!" Jj: "It's JJ Style!" Ysis: "Oh, Yuri? Sorry to bother you during an event, but Maccachin stole some buns, and they got stuck in his throat. We're at the vet right now, but we're not sure he'll make it." Moro: "Jean-Jacques Leroy's score is 113.56!" Jj: "It's JJ style!" Moro: "He's surpassed his personal best Skate Canada score!" Ysis: "Sorry, what do you want us to do?" Y: "Victor!" Y: "Go back to Japan right now." Y: "I'll face the free skate tomorrow on my own!" Yakov: "Don't eat too many pirozhkis tomorrow, okay?" Yuri: "Yeah, yeah. Huh?" Y: "But you have to go back!" V: "Like I said, I can't." Yuri: "What's going on with them?" V: "Yakov!" V: "Thank God!" V: "You're the only coach for me." Yakov: "What? You want to come back?" V: "Can you be Yuri's coach tomorrow, for just one day?" Yakov: "Huh?" Y: "Huh?" Yuri: "Huh?" Y3: "Huh?!" Gramps: "My dear Yuratchka, eat some pirozhkis." Y: "I'd like some, too." Yuri: "I have no pirozhkis for you!" Y: "You don't seem to have changed." Yuri: "Next time, Ninth Skate:" Y: "Yuri Versus..." Yuri: "...Yuri." Gramps: "The Horror!!"

Ysis: "Maccachin stole some buns, and they got stuck in his throat." Y: "Victor! Go back to Japan right now." V: "Can you be Yuri's coach tomorrow, for just one day?" Others: "Huh? Huh? Huh?" Y: "Anyway, this is a crisis!" V: "Ask Yakov anything you don't understand." V: "If you're in trouble, just hug him, and he'll help you." V: "Sorry, Yuri. Even if I'm not here, I'll always be with you in spirit." Y: "And then Victor went back to Japan." Y: "Yuri vs. Yuri. The Horror!! Rostelecom Cup, Free Skate." Moro: "Um, it didn't look like you exchanged any words with Coach Yakov at this morning's public practice." Y: "I'm fine!" Y: "I'll just do what I've always done in practice with Victor!" Yuri: "Why did Yakov take on that pork cutlet bowl?" Yakov: "Yuri, your grandfather's here." Yuri: "Grandpa, I thought you weren't feeling well." Ygramps: "Just try these." Yuri: "There's pork cutlet, scrambled eggs, and white rice in here! What's with this pirozhki?!" Ygramps: "It's a pork cutlet bowl pirozhki. Eat them and do well in today's free skate, Yuratchka." Yuri: "Okay." Yuri: "With Victor gone, I'm the only one who can win. Everything should be on my side." Moro: "The Rostelecom Cup, the last event in the Grand Prix Series. Group Two is finally about to start in the Men's Singles Free Skate." Moro: "Each skater comes into this event with his own hopes and fears. This event will determine who advances to the Grand Prix Final. Group Two's first competitor, currently in sixth place, is the Czech Republic's Emil Nekola, age 18." Moro: "He is skating to music from the movie Anastasis. His theme is "Cyberpunk: I've ceased to be human." Just as his theme suggests, he's planned four quads, a superhuman feat." Oda: "A quadruple Salchow. Beautiful." Moro: "Well done!" Moro: "Next up is a quadruple jump combination." Oda: "Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop." Sala: "I'll take this opportunity to clarify something." Sala: "I'll make it to the Grand Prix Final with or without your help, Mickey." Sala: "So you need to win without my support, too, Mickey." Moro: "His next jump will also be a quad." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "Brilliant!" Sala: "I'm not every woman in the world. You need to get out more!" Miche: "I don't need any other woman but you, Sala." Miche: "I was able to focus on skating and come this far because you were with me." Miche: "Don't leave me alone, please!" Sala: "Become strong, Michele Crispino! I can skate without your love, and I'll start dating!" Moro: "If he finishes in second or above, he may still make the Grand Prix Final." Miche: "Do you like Czech men who have nothing but cheer? Or do you like moody Japanese men who look like closet pervs?" Sala: "Your short program was super sexy." Y: "Huh? Thanks." Miche: "So despite being Italian, you don't like men who are negative, Sala?" Oda: "A quadruple loop." Moro: "That was perfect! So far, we've seen four flawless quads!" Miche: "He's not human." Emil: "Man, I'm tired..." Oda: "He'd planned a combination there, but..." Moro: "He fell and couldn't complete the second jump." Emil: "Crap!" Oda: "A triple Salchow—" Miche: "Oops." Emil: "Still going strong!" Moro: "The score for the Czech Republic's Emil Nekola is 189.15. His total score is 271.58. He's currently in first place." Emil: "Yay!" Emil: "Yeah!" Mila: "Sala, you're not rinkside to send him off to the ice today." Moro: "We now have Italy's Michele Crispino, age 22. He finished the short program in fifth." Moro: "Will he make a comeback in the free skate? He is skating to "Serenade for Two."" Miche: "Sala, are you watching me somewhere out there?" Miche: "I can tell, even when we're apart." Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Sala: "Mickey might be feeling a little down." Oda: "A triple flip, single loop, and a triple Salchow." Moro: "A three-jump combo!" Miche: "What should I do with my feelings?" Oda: "A triple axel." Sala: "Compared to practice, his skating is much more mellow." Mila: "He's like a completely different person. Did something happen?" Popo: "Love. I can feel lost love in Michele's skating." Miche: "Sala, we've been inseparable since birth. My precious Sala..." Miche: "My lady..." Sala: "Why are boys mean to me?" Miche: "It's because you're cute. I'll beat them all up!" Sala: "I got asked on a date again." Miche: "I'll beat him up!" Miche: "Don't get me wrong." Miche: "I'm just an idiot." Miche: "Sala, this is the last time that I skate for you." Miche: "My love ends here, too." Miche: "This is my real love." Miche: "Goodbye, Sala." Oda: "A triple Lutz." Emil: "Wow! Flawless!" Moro: "Here come the scores for Michele Crispino of Italy. His score is 193.24! His total score is 282.89. He's surpassed his personal best by almost twenty points!" Sala: "Mickey!" Miche: "Sala!" Sala: "Congratulations!" Sala: "That was the coolest program I've seen from you so far. You thought of me when you were skating, right?" Miche: "Y-Yeah." Sala: "I'm sorry for saying such mean things earlier. But I'm glad I did! We're better apart, after all! Huh? Oh, Seung Gil's starting. Later!" Yuri: "Hey, Yakov." Yakov: "What?" Yuri: "I'm changing the jump composition." Yuri: "I'll reduce the number of jumps in the first half from four to two." Yakov: "So you'll have six in the second half?" Yuri: "That's right." Yakov: "Do you have a death wish?" Yuri: "I can't win against JJ or Yuri otherwise." Moro: "Although Seung Gil Lee recovered after a fall on his early quadruple loop," Moro: "and lost hope of advancing to the Grand Prix Final. But we look forward to seeing him in the Four Continents Championship. Here on his home turf, we have Yuri Plisetsky, age 15," Audience: "Yuri! Yuri! Yuri!" Moro: "in third place after the short program. Just listen to those cheers!" Yuri: "I'll win the first gold of my senior debut here!" Moro: "He is skating to "Allegro Appassionato in B Minor." The program was choreographed by Lilia Baranovskaya, former principal of the Bolshoi Ballet. For Yuri Plisetsky's senior debut, they've chosen a piece well-known for its difficulty and heart-pounding intensity. He's been allowed to attempt quads since his senior debut. Here's the first of two in this program." Moro: "As in his short program, he landed that with confidence!" Oda: "A triple axel from a spiral." Mila: "That was really high. Doesn't he seem too psyched up?" Lilia: "That's right. Dance with beauty." Lilia: "Beauty is a crushing force of righteousness! Strength means nothing without beauty." Y: "A hellish step sequence without even time for a breath. How is he so calm?" Yakov: "This is right around when he starts to tire. Hold out in the second half." Yuri: "D-Damn, this is tough..." Mila: "He's putting six jumps in the second half?" Yuri: "Here we go with the second-half jumps." Oda: "A triple Lutz." Yuri: "Pork cutlet bowl has three quads, and JJ has four." Oda: "A triple flip." Yuri: "To beat them, I can't make any mistakes!" Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "Here's a choreographic sequence." Yuri: "I don't want to lose like that again!" Moro: "With all eyes on him during the free skate, Yuri Plisetsky of Russia, age 15, is now in first place!" Yuri: "Huh?" Jj: "Let's climb the podium together again at the Rostelecom Cup, Yuri-chan." Yuri: "That shithead!" Oda: "Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop." Moro: "A beautiful jump with great height! He's showing tremendous spirit in his program's second half." Oda: "A triple loop, double toe loop." Yuri: "Here's the last jump combination." Y: "Is this really Yurio?" Oda: "A triple axel, single loop, and a triple Salchow." Moro: "He landed all his jumps! At the Rostelecom Cup of the Grand Prix Series, his senior debut, he's brushed off the pressure and responded to his local fans, delivering a sublime free skate program!" Y: "A performance beyond his limits." Y: "That must've been what it was." Moro: "Yuri Plisetsky from Russia. His free skate score is 199.87, a personal best! His total score is 297.96. He's currently in first place. He's won a ticket to the Grand Prix Final!" Yuri: "How'd you like my free skate, pork cutlet bowl?!" Moro: "Katsuki Yuri from Japan is in second place after the short program. He is skating to "Yuri on Ice."" Y: "I don't want them to think everything Victor's taught me has been a waste." Y: "I have to prove that by winning." Y: "If I fail here, everything is over." Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Y: "I popped it!" Yuri: "What's that pork cutlet bowl doing?" Moro: "His second jump turned into a single." Y: "Crap, crap... Calm down. Calm down!" Y: "How do I recover from this?" V: "Yuri, you tend to flub your jumps when something is on your mind. Starting today, I'm your coach. I'll make you win the Grand Prix Final." Y: "How did he know how I felt? Until Victor came into my life, I could never openly say that I'd win gold," Y: "but I never skated with the thought in my mind that I'd lose anyway." Moro: "That jump had enough rotations." Y: "Truthfully, I wanted to win gold at last year's Grand Prix Final, too." V: "Yuri, you're not weak." V: "No one else thinks that, either." Y: "Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it, I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal!" Y: "I was able to come this far because Victor believed in me." Oda: "A triple loop." Y: "If I end here without making the Grand Prix Final..." Oda: "He two-footed that landing." Y: "No." Y: "Don't think right now." Yuri: "You idiot! Hang in—" Jj: "Yuri... All supportive now that you've clinched your spot in the Final, eh? Cheer for me, too, will you?" Lilia: "Yuri, let's go." Y: "Yurio looked like he'd kick the bucket on his last three-jump combo." Y: "Idiot! I have more stamina than him!" Oda: "A triple axel." Y: "Whether Victor were with me or not," Y: "it would still feel just as tough." Oda: "A triple flip." Y: "Keep it simple." Y: "I'm the only one who can skate this program with this much appeal." Oda: "A triple axel, single loop, and triple Salchow." Oda: "A triple Lutz, triple toe loop." Y: "I'm the one who loves this program Victor and I made the most in the whole world!" Y: "I'm not finished yet. I'll be done when I get the gold with Victor." Moro: "You can feel Katsuki Yuri's love, a love he can only express on the ice, in this step sequence." Sala: "Aw, he had really good flow until the end." Mila: "It's too bad. When you think of how it could've been with Victor here, you really want to see that, right?" Y: "That was the toughest program I've done so far..." Yakov: "Hey." Yakov: "You totally failed to take advantage of the program Vitya made for you!" Yakov: "Why didn't you practice for the possibility that you might flub a jump?" Y: "He's just like Victor... A huge lecture at the kiss and cry." Yakov: "Victor never did, either. I guess he never learned differently as a coach." Moro: "We have Katsuki Yuri's scores. His free skate score is 172.87. His total score is 282.84. He's currently in third place. He may yet advance to the Grand Prix Final, but we won't know until the end." Yakov: "That's a higher score than I expected." Yakov: "What's wrong?" Y: "Spasibo." Y: "Victor will go back to Russia soon." Moro: "The final competitor is Jean-Jacques Leroy, age 19." Jj: "I'm so tired of waiting." Jj: "I bet you all agree, right?" Moro: "He is skating to "Partizan Hope."" Jj: "Yuri Katsuki, Victor may have chosen you, but you're no king. I can tell that much by your free skate. I am the only king!" Oda: "A quadruple Salchow." Moro: "Success!" Moro: "He's planned four quads in this program. If all of them are successful, his free skate program has the highest technical difficulty among all the skaters. Next up is a quad-triple combination." Oda: "Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop." Moro: "At Skate Canada, this year's first Grand Prix event, he held off Russia's Yuri Plisetsky, winning for the second time. In last year's Grand Prix Final, he finished third. With Victor Nikiforov absent this season, a new prince in the figure skating world has been born." Jj: "Wrong. I'm no prince. I'm already a king! "I'll be the hero who stops Victor from becoming the consecutive five-time world champion." That's what I was thinking when I made this program, but I had no idea Victor would go on break." Jj: "I bet he ran because he was afraid of losing to me. That poor guy, Victor Nikiforov!" Oda: "A triple axel." Jj: "Dad, Mom, my precious girlfriend, the great people of Canada, and everyone who loves skating..." Jj: "This is for you." Jj: "This isn't enough love!" Oda: "A quadruple Lutz." Moro: "Nailed it!" Jj: "It's not just that I land all the jumps with ease." Jj: "They're integrated into the overall performance, are they not?" Oda: "A triple flip, single loop, and triple Salchow." Moro: "Amazing. A superb jump combination!" Jj: "Hey, judges! This is JJ!" Moro: "His last jump will be a quad. So far, there have been no mistakes." Jj: "Let's go!" Oda: "A quadruple toe loop." Moro: "He's landed all his jumps!" ews: "JJ will take first in the free skate, as well. Yuri Plisetsky will place second, with Michele Crispino in third. Katsuki Yuri will be fourth. When you total both competition scores, Michele and Katsuki have the same overall score." Y: "Since we're tied in points, I can squeak into the Final because I placed second in the Cup of China." Y: "The Rostelecom Cup is over. The final six who will advance to the Grand Prix Final are the three who had basically been confirmed already... JJ, who cemented his win with another high score," Y: "Yurio, who finished second, and..." Miche: "Man, I'm tired." Sala: "You don't have to come support me at the Women's Free Skate tomorrow, Mickey." Miche: "Can't I at least cheer you on?" Sala: "You'd just rush right to the kiss and cry again." Sala: "Yuri, congrats on qualifying for the Grand Prix Final! I knew you'd make it." Miche: "Sala!" Y: "Thanks." Miche: "What are you doing?!" Miche: "Huh?" Emil: "Was that Mickey screaming?" Emil: "What's this? A hugging competition?" Jj: "JJ is—" Yuri: "Huh?! Stay away from me!" Y: "I'm this close to the peak of my competitive figure skating career." Y: "I really want the gold now." Y: "The Grand Prix Final will be my last chance. Even if I don't win gold, I'll have Victor step down as coach after the Grand Prix Final, and..." Yuri: "There you are, pork cutlet bowl. You made me look for you." Y: "Oh, Yurio..." Yuri: "What was that earlier? Stop creeping me out! And what was that free skate, anyway? You can make the excuse that you couldn't do your best because Victor wasn't there, but I was in top form and earned a new personal best, only to lose to JJ again!" Yuri: "You have no right to feel more down than me, pork cutlet bowl!" Yuri: "You can have it. It's almost your birthday, right? Huh?" Yuri: "Pirozhki? Eat." Y: "Huh? Right here?" Yuri: "Eat!" Y: "There's rice in this... Pork cutlet and egg, too. It's a pork cutlet bowl!" Yuri: "That's right!" Yuri: "My grandpa made them himself! Great, aren't they?" Y: "Yeah! They're vkusno!" Y: "I have a lot I want to tell you, Victor." Y: "What do I say first?" V: "Yuri... I've been thinking about what I can do as your coach from now on." Y: "Me, too." Y: "Please be my coach until I retire!" V: "It's almost like a marriage proposal." V: "I wish you'd never retire." Y: "Let's win gold together at the Grand Prix Final." V: "Yay! I'm finally on vacation! Where's my swimsuit?" Y: "It may be a resort, but it's the middle of winter!" V: "Oh, right. It's almost Christmas. What are you going to give me, Yuri?" Y: "Something round and golden." V: "Wow!"

Yurume: "I'm Aida Yurume." Yurume: "I have left the countryside for Tokyo... so I can search for my dream." Yurume: "Yurume goes to Tokyo." Yurume: "Maison Du Wish, huh? Tokyo is so great." Yurume: "The mountains are really close..." Yurume: "I guess Tokyo's pretty varied." Yurume: "Excuse me." Grandmom: "Yes?" Yurume: "I'm looking for Maison Du Wish." Grandmom: "Oh, it's right here." Yurume: "Um... I meant, Maison Du Wish." Grandmom: "Yes, this is Maison Du Wish." Yurume: "No way!" Grandmom: "Our apartments are full of cram school students." Yurume: "Really?" Grandmom: "And what's more, out of all the students who have come here..." Yurume: "Yeah?" Grandmom: "...not one of them has passed the entrance exam." Yurume: "What?!" Yurume: "That's a relief. The room looks normal, at least. Where's the closet..." Sai: "Oh, a newcomer?" Yurume: "This is supposed to be a one-room, yet there's two..." Yurume'S Mom: "Whenever you are in trouble, unwrap this package." Yurume: "I wonder what Mom gave me." Sai: "Hey." Sai: "I'm Kawano Sae from next door." Yurume: "I see. If at all possible, can you use the door next ti—" Sai: "Matsukichi, we got a newcomer!" Kumi: "There's a newbie here?" Sai: "Oh! Come in! Come in!" Matsukichi: "I've got the alcohol!" Sai: "Good job!" Kumi: "Are you underage?" People: "Cheers!" Kumi: "First up, Tanaka Kumi will be doing psychokinesis!" People: "Cool!" Kumi: "When you place a marble on the floor," Yurume: "Mom, they say that city folk..."

Matsukichi: "A dream?!" Yurume: "I'm going to put milk in a cup. Nothing has been done to it in advance. Okay, drink up." Yurume: "You drank it all, didn't you?" Yurume: "become part of your bones eventually!" Sae: "Eventually?" Yurume: "I'm practicing for the New Year's party." Sae: "You're working on a routine? Or a hidden talent? It doesn't do much to liven the mood." Yurume: "Oh, this milk expired a month ago!" Sae: "Okay, I'll show you an example." Yurume: "Go ahead." Sae: "Nothing has been done to this flat bread either," Sae: "I will now make it disappear. Three, two, one." Matsukichi: "Hey, hey, hey!" Yurume: "It's mine!" Kumi: "Looks like something's going on in here." Kumi: "A hidden talent, huh?" Yurume: "Kumi, do you have something you can do?" Kumi: "Hm, how about imitations? A dead fish's eyes. Next is—" Yurumi: "I want to see something more alive." Kumi: "Okay, then I'll imitate a live fish." Kumi: "Today, I swam one hundred kilometers." Sae: "You just make it talk?!" Sae: "Oh, Happy New Year!" Kumi: "Happy Year." Yurume: "HNY!" Matsukichi: "A dream?" Kumi: "Happy New Year." Matsukichi: "Hot!" Sae: "Happy New Year." Matsukichi: "Hot!" Yurume: "Happy New Year." Matsukichi: "Hot!" Kumi: "Happy New Year." Matsukichi: "Hot!" Matsukichi: "Happy New Year!" Yurume: "My parents sent me a package." Sae: "I wonder if it's food." Yurume: "A New Year's rice cake." Sae: "It is food." Yurume: "And there's tupperware for New Year's dinners... And a part-time job listings magazine..." Yurume: "It's another package from home." Yurume: "One mandarin orange." Sae: "They must've forgotten to send it with that New Year's rice cake." Yurume: "And a job listings magazine."

Yurume: "Just a little bit further and I'll reach the top." Yurume: "My first dream of the year was scary." Sae: "That's just pure bad luck." Yurume: "Have you had your first dream of the year yet?" Sae: "I did! I did!" Yurume: "Almost!" Sae: "I want to work hard at my part time job." Yurume: "Haven't you forgotten something very important? I'm aiming at passing the university entrance exam! This year... might be too soon. Next year... Or maybe just within the next few years." Sae: "Don't say something weird all of a sudden." Yurume: "That's not weird..." Sae: "Try something a little more realistic." Yurume: "Guess you're right. By the way, when you were a kid," Sae: "I did! I did!" Yurume: "Let's do some New Year's calligraphy." Sae: "Oh, I haven't done that since elementary school." Yurume: "First, let's write: "The First Sunrise of the New Year."" Yurume: "Oh, I wrote it too big. There." Sae: "You have to consider the overall balance of the composition. Huh? Have I made it too small? There." Kumi: "New Year's calligraphy?" Yurume: "Would you like to do some too?" Kumi: "Let's see. Hmm... Your clue is: "Skip."" Yurume: "What am I supposed to skip?" Kumi: "Let's decide on a topic to write about." Yurume: "That sounds interesting." Kumi: "Okay, "embarrassing secrets that you can't tell others."" Sae: "What? Are you serious?" Kumi: "I'll pass." Sae: "I'll pass too." Yurume: "You can pass?!" Matsukichi: "HNY. What are you doing?" Kumi: "An embarrassing secret that you can't tell others." Girls: "Hurry! You're running out of time!" Matsukichi: "Do you have a finer brush?" Girls: "He's planning on writing a lot." Sae: "You're so hopeless, Matsukichi." Sae: "That's quite something." Sae: "Matsukichi, you can stop there." Sae: "You can stop now, Matsukichi, you can stop."

Yurume: "It's sure gotten warmer." Yurume: "Spring, huh?" Yurume: "They're in full bloom." Yurume: "So, do you wanna go see the cherry blossoms?" Sae: "Cherry blossom viewing, huh? But it's still pretty cold... my limbs feel all heavy..." Yurume: "I've got beer coupons." Sae: "The cherry blossoms sound good." Yurume: "Kumi-san, do you have a cold?" Yurume: "What is it? Hayfever?" Kumi: "So, do you know what I just said?" Girls: "You can talk normally?" Kumi: "I've been feeling unwell recently." Yurume: "Is it hayfever?" Kumi: "It's not hayfever." Yurume: "Um, your nose." Kumi: "This is the sweat of my soul." Yurume: "You don't have to deny it that strongly." Kumi: "All right, if we're off to look at flowers, we've got to practice." Girls: "Practice?" Kumi: "Repeat after me! "I'm the one who broke the cherry blossom branch!"" Girls: ""I-I'm the one who broke the cherry blossom branch!"" Kumi: "One more time!" Girls: ""I'm the one who broke the cherry blossom branch!"" Kumi: ""I'm not the one who buried that body."" Girls: ""I'm not the one who buried that body."" Kumi: "Very well. Let's go look at some flowers." Yurume: "No, no, no." Yurume: "Let's invite Matsukichi-san as well." Sae: "Otherwise, he'll get upset again." Yurume: "Matsu—" Matsukichi: "Hi! Cherry blossom time?" Matsukichi: "We're going to look at the cherry blossoms, right?" Girls: "I'm glad we invited him." Yurume: "Oh well, what a shame." Sae: ""Dumplings over flowers."" Matsukichi: "Mine is "alcohol over dumplings"!" Kumi: ""Money over alcohol.""

Kid: "You're such a slob." Kid: "No one drinks tap water." Kid: "You're not a kid, you know." Yurume: "Your little sister is still here?!" Kid: "Do you have a problem with that?" Kid: "I'm not going until this room is cleaned. This room was cleaned yesterday," Yurume: "Looks like she's never going home." People: "Happy birthday to you! Happy birth..." Yurume: "Too long! You're holding the note way too long!" Sae: "The candle melted all over the cake. What a waste." Yurume: "Let's swap it with mine." Sae: "I'm sorry." Yurume: "Let's try agai—" Kumi: "..to you!" Yurume: "Bad! Bad timing!" Kumi: "Different musical sense." Yurume: "I wonder if she's angry." Sae: "No, I think she's trying hard not to laugh." Yurume: "It's her birthday, so I'd like her to laugh." Kumi: "How about trying that joke of yours?" Sae: "Okay! Where are my glasses? Where are my glasses?" Yurume: "You've got three pairs." Yurume: "Forget it." Yurume: "All right, I'll make a funny face." Yurume: "I haven't done it yet!" Matsu: "I'm late. Sorry, sorry." Yurume: "Matsukichi-san, please do something funny." Matsu: "You ask for the impossible as soon as I walk in..." Matsu: "Hm, have I gained weight? My pants are really tight." Matsu: "Hm, have I gained weight?" Yurume: "Looks like you'd better not have any cake, Matsukichi-san." Matsu: "What?! Wait! I will! I'll have some!" Kumi: "She laughed." Yurume: "Huh? Where's your sister?" Sae: "Hm... Oh, there she is." Yurume: "Oh, is she all right?" Sae: "She's just sleeping." Yurume: "When she's asleep, she really does look like a child, after all." Sae: "I guess so." Kid: "Dodge." Yurume: "Dodge? What does she mean by that?"

Sae: "Don't move!" Postman: "Kawano-san! Delivery for you." Sae: "Coming." Yurume: "You got a package?" Sae: "Oh, I'm sorry." Sae: "My mother sends me lots of things." Yurume: "So that's why you've got so much stuff." Sae: "Yay! A magic wand!" Yurume: "What? Magic?" Sae: "She treats me like a kid, strangely enough." Kid: "Is that woman buttering you up again?" Sae: "Hey." Kid: "What a strange stick." Yurume: "It's a magic wand." Kid: "Magic?" Kid: "Yay!" Yurume: "I always wanted silly things like that when I was little." Sae: "Little kids always do." Yurume: "Like scented erasers." Sae: "Yes! I remember those!" Kid: "It's a joke." Sae: "When we become adults, we completely stop collecting stuff." Yurume: "Th-That's enough!" Sae: "What's with you?" Kumi: "I can't entrust these things to you young people yet." Yurume: "Jeez." Sae: "What's in the bag?" Kumi: "Oh, good eye. This is what you'd call the memories of spring: The Spring Memorial! Oh, would you like to look inside?" Yurume: "Stop it!" Matsu: "What are you doing?" Kumi: "The Spring Memorial!" Matsu: "Oh, a collection, huh?" Sae: "I don't know how you understood that." Matsu: "Well, I was just... See this?" Matsu: "Looks good, doesn't it?" Sae: "A stick?" Matsu: "A good stick makes a good noise when you wave it around." Matsu: "See?" Matsu: "See?" Yurume: "If you wanna talk sticks, there's a magic wand over there." Matsu: "What? Magic?" Sae: "Oh, I guess I'll just give it to Matsukichi." Matsu: "I have finally become a wizard! So, what kind of spells can it do?" Yurume: "Matsukichi-san, it's a toy." Matsu: "I know. I'm just fooling around." Kumi: "Pirorira runrun Matsukippon!" Girls: "Huh?" Kumi: "Repeat after me!" Matsu: "Pirorira runrun Matsukippon. Pirorira runrun Matsukippon!" Matsu: "Everyone, be nicer to me." Sae: "Oh, come on, it was fun!"

Sae: "A trip?" Yurume: "It's Golden Week, after all." Sae: "How about Guam?" Yurume: "That's a bit hard on my budget." Sae: "What about a hot spring?" Yurume: "That's a bit rough too." Yurume: "I wonder if there's any place we can just walk to." Sae: "Going for a stroll?" Sae: "Well, we'll be heading home." Yurume: "What?! Let's enjoy the humid Golden Week together..." Sae: "No way!" Yurume: "What? With Matsukichi-san?" Matsu: "What am I, some kind of toy? I'm heading home too." Yurume: "Movement." Kumi: "What's your home village called, Matsukichi?" Matsu: "Why must it be a village?" Sae: "Isn't it something-island?" Yurume: "I heard it was planet-something." Girls: "That must be it!" Sae: "It's been a while since I was back in my hometown." Sae: "I'm home." Sae: "My room is still the same." Kumi: "Why are you calling my place your home?" Matsu: "The place has changed so much that I can't even tell where I am. Oh, I remember seeing that before..." Matsu: "I don't remember my prefecture being right next to the ocean..." Yuru: "It's so bright! Perfect camping weather! All right, I'm going to put my tent up here." Yuru: "Done." Yuru: "Huh? The table's in the way." Yuru: "Guess I'll have something to eat." Yuru: "Hot! Hot!" Matsu: "Huh?" Sae: "I'm back, Yurume-chan." Sae: "What are you doing?" Yuru: "Isn't it obvious? I'm cam—" Sae: "Cam... Some kind of campaign?" Yuru: "Speaking of which, Matsukichi-san hasn't come back yet." Sae: "Well, every day's like a holiday for us." Yuru: "You really should study."

Yuru: "Oh, a notice." Yuru: "Hmm... Cleaning outside of the apartments..." Yuru: "Oh jeez, I'm in charge tomorrow... What a pain..." Yuru: "There!" Sis: "We got a notice." Sae: "Huh? Cleaning outside the apartments..." Sae: "What a hassle..." Sae: "I'll just change my name to Matsukichi... Or, actually..." Kumi: "A notice? Every day is Matsukichi. No point in even circulating this." Matsu: "A notice?" Matsu: "I've gotta do all the cleaning?! Huh?" Kumi/Text: ""Matsukichi, buy light bulbs and deliver to Tanaka Kumi."" Matsu: "What's up with that?" Matsu: "I'll just rewrite all the names..." Yuru: "Cleaning... light bulbs... rice? I've gotta do all that?" Yuru: "I'll just change the names and send it out again..." Yuru: "Back to me already?" Yuru: "It's getting faster..." Sae: "Here." Yuru: "Circulate it to everyone else!" Sae: "Here." Kumi: "Here." Matsu: "Here." Yuru: "Everyone is waiting outside my place?!" Sis: "We got a notice." Sae: "Huh?" Sis: "Aida-san must really like udon." Sae: "Just write whatever you want and pass it on." Sis: "Okay... global warming is..." Kumi: "The Earth's climate is changing?!" Kumi: "Your fortune this week is..." Matsu: "My lucky color is pink?!" Matsu: "Yesterday I had a dream..." Yuru: "I don't care about other people's dreams... My lucky color is pink, huh?" Yuru: "There's no room for anything else... I'll write on the back. Yikes, it's already full!" Sis: "It's over 50 pages." Sae: "Put it in a binder." Kumi: "The box is totally full now." Matsu: "This is too much to carry..." Yuru: "It went digital?"

Yurume: "I'm Yurume," Yurume: "Clothes for spring..." Sai: "Yurume-chan, what are you doing?" Yurume: "Well, it's spring, so I figured I'd change my image." Yurume: "Welcome home, Master!" Sai: "If you're gonna change your image," Yurume: "My hairstyle?" Sai: "I'll cut it for you." Yurume: "Please do." Sai: "I've always wanted to do this at least once in my life." Yurume: "What?" Yurume: "What did she..." Yurume: "It sure looks good." Sai: "Yeah, I guess..." Yurume: "Let's change yours too, Sai-san." Sai: "I'm fine with this one..." Yurume: "You don't want to?" Sai: "Are you mad at me, after all?" Yurume: "Let's make you look more girly." Sai: "Huh?" Yurume: "Please put this maid costume on." Sai: "This is rather girly." Yurume: "You look like you're in pain." Kumi: "What's important is what's on the inside." Yurume: "Kumi-san?" Kumi: "Let's change your personality, too. Lessee... Yurume-chan, act cool." Yurume: "Cool." Yurume: "Pension, you say?" Sai: "No, seriously, make sure you pay into it." Kumi: "There's a limit on how cool you can act." Kumi: "So, Sai, act like a clumsy, airhead, maid robot." Sai: "Gotcha!" Sai: "It's morning, Brother." Sai: "It's really hard!" Yurume: "Kumi-san is over there." Yurumi: "So, Kumi-san, how are you going to change?" Kumi: "I'm going to act like a snobby rich girl." Kumi: "If there's no bread, let them eat cake!" Yurumi: "And if there's no cake..." Kumi: "Just deal with it and go to bed early!" Matsukichi: "What are you doing?" Sai: "Good morning, Brother." Kumi: "Bread is high in calories." Yurume: "Ha, it's spring." Matsukichi: "Oh, it's spring. I see. Image change? Oh, I thought you were—" Sai: "Thought we were what?" Kumi: "It's best to just be yourself." Sai: "Yeah, you're right." Matsukichi: "C'mon, Yurume-chan."

Yurume: "I can't just be my usual lazy self..." Yurume: "There." Sister: "This is combustible." Sister: "This is non-combustible. This is combustible." Sister: "This is..." Sister: "Please don't burn me." Sister: "Recyclable rubbish. Guess I'll do this later." Sister: "It's already the new year and the cleaning is going nowhere." Sae: "Okay, I get it. I'll help. Oh, it's my decorative rice cake." Sister: "But you already have three of them." Sae: "I always lose them straight away," Sister: "That's because you don't clean up." Sae: "Anyway, let's make them into one big stack." Sister: "I found three more." Yurume: "Oh, it's the lion dance." Kumi: "I wonder what I'll have for dinner!" Kumi: "Chomp." Yurume: "If my head gets bitten, I get smarter, right?" Kumi: "So, if I eat you whole," Matsu: "I guess it's somewhere around here..." Matsu: "This is amusing." Matsu: "All right, let's try this instead..." Yurume: "It's already afternoon." Yurume: "New Year's is coming to a close."

Sister: "I'm off." Sae: "Yurume-chan. Guess she's out..." Sae: "Argh! A cardboard box ghost!" Sae: "What are you doing, Yurume-chan?" Yurume: "Um... It's warm inside a cardboard box." Sae: "I wonder about that..." Yurume: "So true." Yurume: "Would you like to enjoy the cardboard box life with me?" Sae: "No, I'll pass." Yurume: "Well, I guess it's easy to put on weight in the winter." Sae: "No, the box is just small!" Kumi: "Ah, a cardboard box ghost." Sae: "Oh, Kumi." Kumi: "I brought some fortune sushi rolls." Sae: "Oh, cool!" Yurume: "I'll make the tea." Sae: "Thank you." Kumi: "How about you, Yurume-chan?" Kumi: "Of course, buying things for good luck..." Sae: "Don't say that after you've already bought the sushi." Kumi: "The other day, I went to a shrine that was supposedly..." Kumi: "Then I figured I'd go sightseeing while I was out, and as I was walking around, the exam day passed me by completely!" Sae: "That's got nothing to do with luck." Matsu: "Yo. Oh!" Matsu: "What are you doing?" Yurume: "Making the tea." Matsu: "Oh well, whatever. Let's throw beans at the demon." Sae: "Good idea." Matsu: "Okay, I'll be the demon first." Sae: "All right... Demon, out!" Matsu: "This is the whole—" Sae: "Well, it's such a bother to clean up otherwise." Matsu: "Ouch! Ouch!" Yurume: "I'm back." Sae: "What? Yurume-chan?" Kumi: "Here's a story for you." Kumi: "The packing material that we call "cardboard" today..." Kumi: "was originally created as..."

Yurume: "It's not exciting enough around here these days..." Yurume: "Right, let's try making some changes to my everyday life." Sae: "Yurume-chan. You're kidding me..." Yurume: "I wanted some excitement," Sae: "You must really be bored." Sae: "If you're going to do something, you have to be thorough." Yurume: "Sae-san, you must be bored too." Yurume: "First, seeing how it's winter, I'll wear summer clothes." Sae: "Nice reverse." Yurume: "I'm going to use the kotatsu in reverse too." Sae: "Nice reverse. And I'm going to eat this mandarin whole." Yurume: "If you're gonna do the reverse, you'd only eat the peel." Sae: "Oh, yeah." Yurume: "Geez..." Kumi: "And the demon throws the beans!" Yurume: "The bean-throwing festival is over!" Sae: "She's right! She's so right!" Kumi: "I am terribly sorry." Yurume: "Pretty obedient for a demon." Sae: "Is this a reversal?" Kumi: "But I'm still throwing the beans! Okay, now for today's main event: Valentine time!" Kumi: "Let's ask Matsukichi for chocolate." Matsukichi: "What? You're doing the reverse of the usual?" Yurume: "Yes!" Matsukichi: "I've never received chocolate in my life." Girls: "Oh." Matsukichi: "Does that mean I'll actually get chocolate?!" Matsukichi: "Hey." Sae'S Sister: "Huh? It's reversed." Kumi: "Reverse walking." People: "Nice reverse." Sae: "Reverse cleaning." Kumi: "Nice reverse." Yurume: "So not." Matsukichi: "Reverse laundry." Yurume: "Reverse joint." Matsukichi: "Too reversed!" Yurume: "You guys, I think way too much alcohol is being drunk here." Sae: "No, we're the ones getting drunk by the alcohol." Yurume: "I see." Sae: "That's what we do normally." Kumi: "No, no. Being normal is the twist." Yurume: "Geez, is this one of those "anything goes" situations?" Kumi: "To start with, how do you qualify the "reverse" of something?" Kumi: "If you wear summer clothes in winter and make a habit of wearing them," Yurume: "True." Kumi: "Humans are adaptable." Yurume: "This is a bit too much."

Sai: "Yurume-chan." Sai: "You're not in?" Sai: "Don't rook?" Yurume: "It's a typo!" Yurume: "Don't come looking for me." Sai: "Ah, I see. Okay, one more time." Sai: "Yurume-chan?" Sai: "Not in, huh?" Yurume: "Wait for me!" Yurume: "Come looking for me." Sai: "Which is it?!" Yurume: "Somewhere between the two and pick what you like." Yurume: "Okay, please continue." Sai: "Hello," Yurume: "April Fools." Sai: "That was far too exhausting." Kumi: "Hello world." Sai: "Kumi!" Sai: "Yurume-chan has gone missing!" Kumi: "I think I did see her by the train station!" Sai: "What?" Kumi: "That small, round, stretchable, shrinkable shadow..." Yurume; Sai: "Is that even human?" Kumi: "By the way, did you hear?" Sai: "I see. That's quite something." Kumi: "Well, it was built forty years ago..." Sai: "That's an April Fools, isn't it?" Kumi: "No, that was yesterday." Girls: "What?!" Sai: "Oh crap, I fell for it. It is today, after all." Kumi: "Yurume-chan, what was that about you being missing?" Yurume: "It was a lie. All a lie." Kumi: "What?! A lie?!" Girls: "This girl..." Kumi: "It's not next year, but the year after." Sai: "Don't freak me out like that!" Kumi: "Demolition." Kumi: "we'll have gotten into college." Sai: "Oh no, it's another lie." Yurume: "Which bit?" Matsukichi: "Big news! I just won the lottery!" Girls: "Doubt!" Sai: "I'm not going to fall for that one. I know you'll say that you won a hundred million yen—" Matsukichi: "No, only a 100 thousand." Sai: "What's with the realistic figure?" Girls: "Boring, boring." Grandmom: "I think it's about time we rebuilt."

Kumi: "Let's talk about Matsukichi." Matsukichi: "What? Are you serious?" Kumi: "All right, first up, it's question time with Matsukichi." Matsukichi: "How embarrassing." Matsukichi: "Hello." Yurume: "Thinking about it, I'm not all that interested—" Matsukichi: "No! Please ask something!" Kumi: "Okay then, let's do a psych test." Kumi: "You're walking up a mountain. The first scene you come across is..." Matsukichi: "Let's see..." Kumi: "...a cliff!" Matsukichi: "What do you mean, "what a shame!"" Sai: "Fortune telling with animals was also popular." Yurume: "Yeah." Yurume: "Matsukichi-san, if I imagine you as an animal..." Matsukichi: "As what? What animal?" Yurume: "Seaweed." Matsukichi: "Processed goods?!" Kumi: "Matsukichi, I think you're a dobirogeren." Matsukichi: "Huh? What's that?" Kumi: "This is a dogebirorin." Matsukichi: "You just changed the name." Yurume: "The next topic is your previous life." Matsukichi: "What?" Yurume: "It will finally be revealed." Sai: "Matsukichi's roots." Yurume: "I think it was deep sea fish like." Kumi: "Oh, a fish type." Sai: "What about nerimono?" Yurume: "Fish cake." Kumi: "Burdock root." Sai: "Oden, maybe?" Matsukichi: "What happened to the fortune telling part?" Yurume: "Very astute." Kumi: "Just what you'd expect from a dorugeren." Matsukichi: "You mean, a dobirogeren." Kumi: "Then, let's do some fortune telling using a coin." Matsukichi: "How random..." Kumi: "If it's heads, it's fish cake." Matsukichi: "Are you going back to that conversation?!" Yurume: "You were a burdock root in your past." Matsukichi: "Dobirogeren." Sai: "All that's left is to talk about his future." Yurume: "What will Matsukichi become?" Matsukichi: "I'd like to start my own company. Matsukichi Company" Yurume: "No, before that, you've got college... eh please continue." Matsukichi: "First, I've got to bring in the results gradually... Matsukichi Corp Matsukichi CC Then, I'll find myself a cute wife and have a child..." Kumi: "...a cliff!" Sai: "It's so difficult..." Yurume: "Life has it's up and it's downs." Matsukichi: "Are you a motorbike that's just broken down?"

Yurume: "Today is Tanabata." Sae: "Yeah." Yurume: "Let's write a wish." Sae: "A wish, huh?" Yurume: "What should I write?" Sae: "Hey, do you have more paper?" Yurume: "Uh, what on earth did you wish for? "One day, I help out a well dressed old man." "That old man turns out to be surprisingly rich."" Sae: "I thought it'd be better to be specific." Yurume: "Oh well, guess that works..." Yurume: "and that the Earth is threatened by Martians."" Yurume: "Wow, this sure is turning into an interesting narrative..." Sae: "Oh, that's the third part." Kumi: "What are you up to?" Yurume: "I'm in the middle of breaking through the atmosphere." Kumi: "Writing out wishes, huh?" Yurumi: "Kumi-san, you wanna write some too?" Kumi: "Let's see." Kumi: "Here. Well, I guess that's..." Matsukichi: "You guys are writing out wishes, huh?" Matsukichi: "I want to be happy." Girls: "Good luck." Matsukichi: "It's a normal one!" Matsukichi: "Where's the bamboo to hang it from?" Yurumi: "We can go get some from a mountain somewhere." Sae: "There are no mountains around here." Yurumi: "Um..." Yurumi: "Let's make some teru teru bozu so it doesn't rain." Yurumi: "It's so lively! Looks just like a festival." Matsukichi: "How exactly?" Kumi: "It's starting to rain." Yurumi: "The laundry's in peril!" Matsukichi: "When you think about festivals... you think sake! Sake!" Sae: "Oh, good idea!" Kumi: "Dumplings over flowers." Matsukichi: "You say that, but there were no flowers to begin with." Girls: "There are three flowers right in front of you." Matsukichi: "Dumplings over flowers, indeed." Yurumi: "The wishes are all messed up." Sae: "Oh, this is... Might it be the Martian invasion?" Yurumi: "Wake up already. I'm pretty sure our wishes aren't gonna come true."

Kumi: "The Maison Du Wish... Watermelon Splitting Contest!" People: "Hooray! Hooray!" Kumi: "First up: Matsukichi." Matsukichi: "Here we go!" Yurume: "Go right, right!" Sai: "No! Left, left!" Kumi: "Forward, forward." Yurume: "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, Aiya!" Kumi: "Back up, back up! It's still in the fridge in my room!" Matsukichi: "At least have it ready!" Kumi: "All right, Yurume-chan, your turn." Yurume: "Here I go. First, spin around ten times." Kumi: "Next, do thirty squats... and one hundred sit-ups." Yurume: "This is hard." Kumi: "Okay, Sae, you're up..." Kumi: "Straight ahead. A little to your left." Yurume: "You're there! Right there!" Sae: "Here, eh?" Sae: "This is extremely short!" Kumi: "It's my turn now!" Kumi: "Okay, here I go. Where is it?" Yurume: "Stop! You can't do that! I don't want things getting broken," Matsukichi: "Hey, let me give it one more shot." Kumi: "All right. First, we blindfold you... Then, we tie you up." Sae: "We put tape over your mouth." Kumi: "We tie your legs together." Sae: "Here, take the pole." Yurume: "Right a bit! Right a bit!" Kumi: "More to your right." Yurume: "It's my turn! I'll split it using the power of my mind!" Sae: "If you do that, I'll split it using the power of wind!" Kumi: "If you do that, I'll sing for the sake of world peace!" Matsukichi: "Oh, you have a knife." Kumi: "Truth is, mine's pretty rusty." Yurume: "Oh." Matsukichi: "So, you weren't planning on letting us split the watermelon in the first place." Sae: "Well, we are inside, after all." Kumi: "Then..." Kumi: "it's my turn."

Kumi: "There's only one delicious ice cream left." Yurume: "Shall we do it? It's been a while." Sae: "Bring it on." Matsukichi: "I'm ready." People: "All right!" Kumi: "Yippee, let's start up the band again." People: "That doesn't follow at all!" Yurume: "It's supposed to be about who gets the ice cream." Kumi: "Well, so much for reviving the band... Let's start over:" Kumi: "You have to resist eating the ice cream." People: "What?" Kumi: "I'm going to keep it in my custody for now." Yurume: "Something's fishy here. Very fishy!" Sae: "Matsukichi, don't you think it's time to give up?" Matsukichi: "What about you, Sae?" Yurume: "I'm still fine." Kumi: "Me too." Yurume: "Kumi-san, what's with that getup?" Kumi: "Oh, this? This is my winter outfit." Yurume: "I doubt that!" Yurume: "The ice cream's melted a bit." Sae: "It doesn't have long left." Matsukichi: "Why don't we just settle it quickly with rock, paper, scissors?" Yurume: "Shoulda done that in the first place." Kumi: "All right! Now, get all revved up for... the ice cream battle by rock, paper, scissors! A hundred rounds. Go!" People: "It'll have melted by then." Yurume: "Okay, a one-time shootout!" Sae: "Are you sure you wanna do that?" Yurume: "You only did that because you were bored." Kumi: "I wonder if you stand a chance against the ultimate technique..." Yurume: "You're a mess, all of a sudden." Matsukichi: "Well, I shaved one eyebrow to show my dedication to winning." Yurume: "Yes, I won! I won!" Matsukichi: "Why did I shave off my eyebrow?" Yurume: "Huh? Who cares? It's summer, you know. Anyway, guess I'll enjoy my victory ice cream." Yurume: "Perhaps it's a reward for my upright lifestyle. Down the ha—"

Yurume: "That's it." Postman: "Aida-san, delivery for you." Yurume: "Yes, coming." Yurume: "I just sign for it?" Yurume: "This is bad. I'm stuck." Sae: "Yurume-chan. Huh?" Yurume: "Sae-san." Sae: "What are you doing?" Yurume: "I'm not getting out from under the kotatsu today, no matter what!" Sae: "Oh, I see." Sae: "Oh, what about if we both lift the table up?" Yurume: "I see." Girls: "Ready, and go." Sae: "This is hopeless." Yurume: "This is worse than before." Sae: "Let's try putting it sideways." Yurume: "Roger." Girls: "Ready, and—" Kumi: "What's this?" Sae: "Kumi!" Yurume: "Kumi-san." Sae: "The kotatsu's stuck and won't budge." Kumi: "So it is. Why don't you just leave it here, like a noren?" Yurume: "No way will that work." Kumi: "I'm sorry." Matsukichi: "What are you doing?" Sae: "Matsukichi!" Matsukichi: "You're having fun behind my back again." Sae: "Whatever, just give me a hand." Sae: "Let's take a short break." Matsukichi: "I brought some sake over." Sae: "Say that when you walk in!" Yurume: "Erm—" Sae: "It'll pop itself out sooner or later." Kumi: "Yes, yes." Matsukichi: "Yeah." Yurume: "So that's why I'm not getting out from under the kotatsu!" Sae: "Well said, Yurume-chan!" Sae: "Guess it's time to go home." Yurume: "Good night."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Yuru Yuri is starting." Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "We know you're in there, Akari!" Yui: "If you don't get up, you'll be late." Akari: "Kyoko-chan? Yui-chan?" Akari: "Um... what do you mean, late?" Akari: "What? Oh, no!" Akari: "I'm Akaza Akari." Akari: "I'm a bit of a spaz, but I'm an energetic young girl. I may be acting frantic this morning," Akari: "Because I..." Akari: "Because I..." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, Yui-chan, thanks for waiting!" Kyoko: "Are we going to be late?" Yui: "We're going to be late." Akari: "Huh? What?" Akari: "I forgot today's my first day of middle school!" Akari: "Oh, no! I'm so embarrassed!" Kyoko: "I can't say I didn't see this coming." Yui: "It certainly isn't unexpected." Kyoko: "Go for an even stronger gag next time!" Yui: "We really are going to be late." Akari: "Oh, no. I'm going to get changed!" Kyoko: "Yui, do you want to go for a walk?" Yui: "Where?" Kyoko: "Inside her house!" Yui: "What?" Yui: "It's been a while since we've been in Akari's house." Kyoko: "Yeah, you're right." Kyoko: "Let's take a peek." Yui: "Stop it." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui." Yui: "Huh?" Kyoko: "We match." Akari: "Sorry, thanks for-" Akari: "Stop playing with my panties!" Kyoko: "Sorry, sorry." Akari: "Come on. Let's go." Kyoko: "Let's take a look. Oh, wo-" Akari: "Recently, my panties have been disappearing." Kyoko: "Akari, have you ever been in your sister's room?" Akari: "She hasn't let me in for a while now. I guess even sisters need their privacy, though." Kyoko: "Yeah, it's for the best." Himawari: "I'd like to join the student council" Sakurako: "Acting like a goody-two-shoes?" Himawari: "What did you say?" Sakurako: "You wanna fight?" Teacher: "Next, Akaza-san." Akari: "Yes." Akari: "Uh, Akaza..." Kyoko: "Go for an even stronger gag next time!" Akari: "That's right. I'm a middle school student." Akari: "I take the express to everyone's heart." Akari: "Nice to meet you! I'm Akaza Akari!" Akari: "Huh? Did I come on too strong?" Akari: "Um, I'm Akaza Akari." Teacher: "Akaza-san, which club will you be joining?" Akari: "I'm going to join the Amusement Club!" Tennis: "Smash your heart!" Track: "Let's find the runner's high in the evening sun!" Keion: "Go for Budokan! Go for Kohaku!" Kyoko: "Once more!" Both: "Akari, congratulations on your entrance to middle school" Akari: "Hooray! Let's celebrate." Kyoko: "In any case..." Kyoko: "Cheers!" Kyoko: "It's been a while since we've all gone to school together." Yui: "Not since we graduated from elementary school last year." Akari: "I'm glad we're together again." Kyoko: "Akari..." Kyoko: "Here's your key to our love nest." Akari: "What?" Yui: "What are you planning on doing while I'm right here?" Yui: "It's the key to this room." Akari: "Oh, to the club room." Akari: "By the way, what is the Amusement Club?" Yui: "Oh, right. We didn't tell you yet." Yui: "This is the Tea Club's room. They disbanded, so no one's using it right now." Yui: "So we're secretly using it." Akari: "Really?" Kyoko: "We hang out in here during breaks." Akari: "I see. Sounds relaxing. So, what do you do?" Yui: "Well..." Kyoko: "We just hang out and do whatever we want!" Akari: "What?" Akari: "That's no fun!" Kyoko: "Huh?" Akari: "I'm a middle schooler now!" Akari: "Isn't there anything more exciting?" Kyoko: "Exciting, huh?" Kyoko: "Exciting..." Kyoko: "Exciting!" Kyoko: "I'm sorry. Please stop!" Kyoko: "I know!" Akari: "That sounds scary." Kyoko: "Really?" Yui: "How are you supposed to get on and off?" Kyoko: "Huh? Maybe it'd just stop for that." Yui: "That sounds terrible." Akari: "Now I feel like going to an amusement park." Yui: "That's not an exciting ride." Kyoko: "Then what should we do?" Yui: "Excitement, huh?" Yui: "It's a bit typical, but... What about love?" Kyoko: "Love?" Yui: "Is there anyone you like, Akari?" Akari: "What?" Yui: "T-Thanks..." Akari: "What about you, Kyoko-chan?" Kyoko: "I love myself!" Yui: "Yeah, that makes sense." Akari: "Then what about you, Yui-chan?" Yui: "Me? I..." Yui: "I guess there isn't much excitement to be had..." Kyoko: "Middle schoolers shouldn't dream." Akari: "Your life as a middle schooler" Akari: "Huh?" Akari: "Wow." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, I read the Mirakurun doujin you gave me." Kyoko: "Really?" Akari: "Yeah! Kyoko-chan, you've gotten even better at drawing." Kyoko: "There's a lot of room for improvement." Yui: "Is you next doujin also "Mirakurun"?" Kyoko: "Of course!" Mirakurun: "Shine on, Miracle Run-Run Energy!" Mirakurun: "Mirakurun Pretty Change!" Mirakurun: "The witch of love and justice, Mirakurun, has arrived!" Kyoko: "Since I started writing doujins," Kyoko: "Look at you." Kyoko: "As long as I have Mirakurun, I'm happy!" All: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "E-excuse me!" Chinatsu: "I'm Yoshikawa Chinatsu. Um, I'd... I'd like to join your club!" Yui: "Mi..." Kyoko: "Mirakurun?" Chinatsu: "My older sister." Chinatsu: "Beautiful and kind." Chinatsu: "Very demure." Chinatsu: "I've always wanted to be just like her." Chinatsu: "Just like her." Chinatsu: "Just like her." Chinatsu: "This isn't the Tea Club?" Yui: "Right. The Tea Club was disbanded;" Chinatsu: "Disbanded?" Akari: "Well, this is..." Chinatsu: "You're the girl who gave that embarrassing introduction." Akari: "What? Now that you mention it, you sit right next to me." Yui: "What sort of introduction did you give?" Kyoko: "I'm Toshino Kyoko! This is the Amusement Club, not the Tea Club!" Kyoko: "I believe you're meant to be here!" Yuka: "Calm down!" Yui: "Sorry, she's just overexcited." Yui: "I'm Funami Yui." Chinatsu: "Uh, okay." Kyoko: "Don't worry about that! You can reestablish the Tea Club" Kyoko: "so why don't you stay with us in the meantime?" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "All the Tea Club's stuff is still here. If you really want to, you could even practice." Yui: "You're just making stuff up now, aren't you?" Kyoko: "Right?" Chinatsu: "O... Okay..." Akari: "Nice to meet you, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Nice to meet you, too." Kyoko: "Mirakurun... Chinatsu-chan," Chinatsu: "Because my sister's in a Tea Club." Kyoko: "It must be nice starting school with something you want to do." Yui: "Should we be lounging around like this?" Kyoko: "Huh? What do you mean?" Yui: "I just thought we should experience" Akari: "But..." Kyoko: "As long as I have Mira- Chinatsu-chan, I'm happy." Yui: "Don't scare the newbie." Kyoko: "Ow. I didn't even do anything." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, let me know if anything happens." Yui: "I'll protect you." Yui: "I'll protect you!" Kyoko: "How rude!" Yui: "Really?" Kyoko: "Yeah! So let's go buy a Mirakurun Transformation Set!" Yui: "Were you even listening?" Kyoko: "Hold on!" Yui: "Hey!" Yui: "Did you know there's a candy store nearby?" Chinatsu: "Really?" Yui: "Let's go." Both: "Hooray!" Yui: "This way's shorter." Kyoko: "Mirakurun Transformation Set of love and justice" Kyoko: "Come on, Chinatsu-chan! Where'd she go?" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, let's go to the club room." Akari: "Okay. Since then, Chinatsu-chan" Akari: "I'm happy for her." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, go ahead." Akari: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan!" Chinatsu: "Hello, Yui-senpai." Chinatsu: "Tea's ready." Kyoko: "Thanks, Chinatsu-chan!" Chinatsu: "Yu... Yui-senpai, here you are." Yui: "Thank you." Yui: "This is delicious." Kyoko: "It's delicious, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Please cut it out, Kyoko-senpai." Kyoko: "Mira- Chinatsu-chan, Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Ow, ow!" Yui: "Cut it out." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Yui: "There, there." Kyoko: "Yui, don't steal my Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Mira- Chinatsu-chan, you're so cute!" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, I can't breathe!" Yui: "Kyoko!" Koyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "I can't breathe! Help me, Yui-senpai!" Yui: "Kyoko, cut it out!" All: "You're here." Akari: "How mean!" Kyoko: "Actually, there's something I've been wondering about..." Kyoko: "Akari, you don't have much presence, do you?" Akari: "What?" Akari: "That's not true!" Kyoko: "You started out like the protagonist of a school anime, but since Chinatsu-chan joined the club," Akari: "Yui-chan! She's wrong, right?" Chinatsu: "I'm sorry." Akari: "You didn't say anything!" Kyoko: "Let's hold a meeting to discuss Akari's future. The future of Akari's middle school life" Akari: "You don't need to make such a big deal out of this." Kyoko: "It's not easy having a weak presence." Kyoko: ""everyone pair up!"" Kyoko: "Or even when she hasn't received her lunch pudding yet, people will start fighting over what they" Kyoko: "Oh, and..." Akari: "Please help me!" Kyoko: "Let's reveal together." Kyoko: "Ready and...!" Akari: "Huh?" Kyoko: "When you put all of them together, you get..." Kyoko: "This." Akari: "You're so mean!" Yui: "My stomach hurts..." Kyoko: "Akarin!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, say something!" Chinatsu: "I'm not laughing." Akari: "Liar!" Kyoko: "Second attempt to discuss Akari's future!" Akari: "I can trust you this time, right?" Kyoko: "If you're going to talk about presence, it has to be Witch Girl Mirakurun. If you have what it takes to be a protagonist," Kyoko: "If you think of something, put it in the box!" Yui: "What an awful name." Kyoko: "Looks like we've got a few ideas." Akari: "Yay. I wonder how it'll turn out?" Text: "Director Toshino Kyoko" Akari: "This time already?!" Akari: "Why didn't anyone wake me?" Akari: "I don't have time for this. I need to go to school." Akari: "Oh, right. It's supposed to rain this afternoon." Akari: "What is this?" Akari: "I only have three more minutes!" Akari: "Someone stop time!" Akari: "It stopped." Akari: "Hold on a minute!" Kyoko: "What's wrong?" Akari: "Well, um... I don't understand." Kyoko: "Yeah, me neither." Yui: "Cheer up, Akari." Chinatsu: "That's right." Akari: "Yui-chan, Chinatsu-chan..." Yui: "Yeah, you're..." Chinatsu: "Yeah, a good girl." Yui: "And you're..." Chinatsu: "Yes, a really good girl." Akari: "What else? What else?" Kyoko: "Akari, Akari. "Your lack of outstanding qualities is your outstanding quality."" Akari: "You're just making fun of me, aren't you?" Akari: "I won't rely on anyone any more! I'll create a new personality all on my own!" Kyoko: "This is the first time I've seen you like this!" Yui: "You must be serious." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you're on fire!" Akari: "Allow me to announce my strategy" Akari: "It's..." Kyoko: "It's...?" Akari: "It's..." Both: "It's...?" Akari: "It's..." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Huh? Ayano?" Ayano: "What's wrong with you?" Chitose: "Excuse us." Kyoko: "What?" Akari: "M..." Akari: "Akarin! Did you enjoy the Yuru Yuri anime? I play a major role in the next episode too," Akari: "What?" Akari: "my sense of presence is in danger!"

Both: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "What is this?" Chinatsu: "If we've been called here, that means..." Sfx: "Akarin!" Chinatsu: "I knew it!" Both: "What?" Sakurako: "What's going on?" Chinatsu: "It means this is all the screen time we're getting." Both: "What?" Himawari: "We already hardly get any screen time." Chinatsu: "Her lack of presence is slowly rubbing off on us." Akari: "It's my fault?" Kyoko: "I forgot to eat breakfast." Yui: "You overslept, didn't you?" Kyoko: "I was so excited last night, I couldn't sleep!" Yui: "What are you, a little kid?" Yui: "Just how many snacks did you bring?" Kyoko: "I didn't just bring snacks." Kyoko: "Just in case!" Yui: "You won't have a chance to use those things in Kyoto!" Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "How mountainous do you think it is?" Kyoko: "Then how about this?" Kyoko: "I found it at a dollar store. Surely this will be useful, right? You can put gifts, laundry and" Kyoko: "I've got a whole bunch, so you can have one!" Yui: "I don't need them." Kyoko: "But..." Yui: "Hey, don't tell me this wobbly bus is making you carsick" Yui: "Looks like your bag's useful already." Yui: "Are you okay?" Kyoko: "It's Chizuru!" Kyoko: "Hey, Chizuru! Want a bag?" Chizuru: "No!" Kyoko: "Kiyomizu Temple! Amazing!" Yui: "I really feel like I'm in Kyoto now." Ayano: "Hey, Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "If you get carried away just because we're on a trip... you'll have to pay a fine Irvine!" Chitose: "Ayano-chan, calm down. But I have to admit, I'm excited to be back." Yui: "Oh, right. You're from Kansai." Kyoko: "Wow. Look at all these emas!" Yui: "Should we write our own later?" Kyoko: "Yeah!" Ayano: "Don't get carried away because we're in Kyoto." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you're more excited than anyone else." Kyoko: "Tainai Meguri?" Chitose: "Oh, yes. You walk in the dark." Yui: "Huh." Kyoko: "I don't really get it, but it sounds fun!" Kyoko: "Let's Tainai!" Kyoko: "It's dark!" Kyoko: "It's darker than I thought it'd be!" Kyoko: "I'm getting excited!" Yui: "Be careful you don't let go of the handrail." Chitose: "The floor feels strange." Ayano: "There's a turn right here!" Ayano: "Who was that? Don't touch me there!" Kyoko: "Oh, sorry! What was I touching?" Ayano: "My butt... I mean, who cares? If you have to grab something, grab my hips!" Kyoko: "Does it really matter?" Ayano: "Those aren't my hips..." Kyoko: "Huh?" Kyoko: "What is this?" Kyoko: "The exit..." Kyoko: "That was dark!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! I'll never forgive you!" Kyoko: "It was dark. I couldn't help it." Chitose: "Tainai Meguri..." Chitose: "What an unexpectedly terrifying place." Yui: "Your reaction's expected, though." Kyoko: "So this is the Kiyomizu stage." Kyoko: "I can fly!" Yui: "Don't do it!" Kyoko: "You can fly?" Yui: "No, I won't!" Kyoko: "You wouldn't die from this height, would you?" Yui: "I guess it'd depend on your landing." Chitose: "Let's take a picture." Kyoko: "Oh! Okay!" Ayano: "Let me see the camera." Ayano: "Will you take our picture?" Girl: "Sure." Chitose: "Huh? I'll take it." Ayano: "What are you talking about?" Ayano: "We're all here together, so let's take a picture together." Kyoko: "What is this?" Chitose: "I think it cures whatever part you touch." Kyoko: "What? I've got to touch this!" Yui: "I've been getting headaches lately..." Kyoko: "Don't worry!" Yui: "That's not it!" Chitose: "I hope my nose will have fewer nosebleeds." Ayano: "You really should do something about that." Chitose: "What about you, Ayano-chan?" Ayano: "I hope my heart will become more honest." Kyoko: "Ayano, you want bigger boobs, huh?" Ayano: "No!" Ayano: "Where are you going to touch, Toshino Kyoko?" Kyoko: "That sounds dirty." Kyoko: "I'm going to touch it lots." Yui: "I can't say I wasn't expecting this." Kyoko: "We're right under the Kiyomizu stage, aren't we?" Chitose: "Oh, you're right." Kyoko: "It's not that high after all. This wouldn't kill you." Chitose: "But if you fell and got impaled by those, it's over." Kyoko: "Oh, I see." Yui: "Why are you talking about that?" Kyoko: "You'd need a lot of determination" Chitose: "It's not often you have that much resolve." Kyoko: "How about when you leap into magma?" Yui: "That would kill you. What is this, a game?" Kyoko: "My legs are tired." Yui: "The leaves were beautiful." Chitose: "They really are." Chitose: "I got a lot of pictures." Yui: "Hmm." Kyoko: "I see." Kyoko: "These are all pictures of me and Ayano." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "That looks delicious!" Ayano: "Delicious!" Chitose: "Sweet things are delicious when you're tired." Yui: "This "hiyashi ame" is refreshing and delicious." Kyoko: "Hey, I wonder what the hotel's like." Ayano: "You're such a little kid to get excited over a hotel!" Chitose: "You're more excited than anyone else, Ayano-chan." Chitose: "I looked up the hotel we're staying at." Kyoko: "Oh! Japanese style!" Chitose: "I'm looking forward to sleeping side by side with everyone." Kyoko: "You won't get any sleep tonight!" Yui: "You just go to bed." Chitose: "There's a large public bath, too." Kyoko: "What?" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "It's okay. I won't stare too much!" Ayano: "Stop it!" Ayano: "Oh my! Toshino Kyoko!" Yui: "Chitose, don't die from blood loss." Kyoko: "I can't wait! Let's go to the hotel now!" Yui: "Calm down!" Yui: "Calm down!" Yui: "Calm down! How many times do I have to say it?" Kyoko: "We're here!" Kyoko: "Tada." Yui: "You're already changed?" Kyoko: "Let's go to the bath! The bath!" Ayano: "What?" Yui: "I'm not going yet. I'm tired from all that walking." Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "Why don't you sit and rest a little, too?" Kyoko: "This view is amazing! Isn't that the Daimonji mountain?" Kyoko: "There's juice in here! Can we drink as much as we want? It's got BS!" Kyoko: "Hey, there's two TV's next door!" Yui: "You're not going to calm down, are you?" Kyoko: "Chizuru's so tsundere." Chizuru: "Why are you here?" Kyoko: "Why?" Kyoko: "I came to see you, Chizuru!" Yui: "Sorry for bothering you." Kyoko: "I was just playing with Chizuru." Yui: "Let's go to the bath." Kyoko: "Huh? Really?" Yui: "You'll bother everyone else, if I leave you alone." Kyoko: "Hooray, the bath." Yui: "The water will probably calm you, too." Kyoko: "Huh? Did you say something?" Yui: "Nothing." Kyoko: "It's huge!" Yui: "Don't slip, stupid." Kyoko: "There's an outdoor bath, too!" Ayano: "This is embarrassing..." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you have a nice body, so you shouldn't worry." Ayano: "Don't say that! You're making it worse!" Ayano: "Why don't you leave your glasses?" Chitose: "If I leave them off, my life might be in danger." Yui: "Hey!" Kyoko: "Shampoo!" Yui: "Hey! Stop it!" Kyoko: "Ayano, need some bubbles?" Kyoko: "Shampoo, shampoo!" Ayano: "Go away!" Kyoko: "Bubbles, bubbles!" Kyoko: "Oh! A crab person!" Yui: "Cut it out, you idiot!" Yui: "Stop swimming!" Ayano: "You're out of control, Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "I'm a sea monster!" Ayano: "Hey! Cover yourself, Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Why?" Ayano: "Sheesh!" Kyoko: "What's this?" Yui: "A sauna." Kyoko: "Let's go!" Kyoko: "Hot. Yui, it was super hot." Yui: "Is the word "relax" missing from your dictionary?" Kyoko: "How naive. I don't even have a dictionary!" Yui: "It figures." Yui: "Looks like she's calmed down as planned." Chitose: "Oh, right." Ayano: "Huh?" Chitose: "They have some unusual pickles." Ayano: "Sure." Yui: "Let's go, then." Chitose: "What about Toshino-san? Should we wake her?" Yui: "We can just leave her." Kyoko: "I'll go!" Yui: "You're awake?" Ayano: "How about this "sticky sticky bettarazuke"?" Chitose: "Bettarazuke is a Tokyo pickle." Ayano: "Really?" Chitose: "It's been around since the Tokugawa period." Ayano: "Why are they selling this in Kyoto?" Kyoko: "Chizuru!" Chizuru: "Don't bother me!" Kyoko: "Chizuru's so mean." Yui: "It's because you keep bothering her when she doesn't like you." Kyoko: "Don't worry. She should turn dere soon enough." Yui: "It just looks like you're preventing that to me." Kyoko: "Really?" Kyoko: "Hey, Chitose. Did you get your pickles?" Chitose: "Yeah, I did. I got some other stuff, too." Kyoko: "I see. Maybe I'll buy something, too." Yui: "If you buy any food," Kyoko: "How rude!" Yui: "Am I wrong?" Kyoko: "Well, it's true." Kyoko: "Maybe I can buy something as a souvenir." Chitose: "Why don't you buy the same thing as Toshino-san? Then you'll be a matching pair, right?" Ayano: "What? What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "I choose this!" Yui: "You sure like wooden swords." Ayano: "Could I get this, please?" Clerk: "Yes." Chitose: "A matching pair of wooden swords is a little weird." Ayano: "I didn't buy it to be a pair," Chitose: "I know, I know." Yui: "Did you remember" Yui: "I already bought mine." Kyoko: "They can have this!" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Huh? What's wrong, Ayano?" Ayano: "It's nothing..." Chitose: "Don't worry about it." Ayano: "I'm not upset!" Kyoko: "I'll give this sword to Akari and Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "You're making them share one?" Kyoko: "Maybe they can split it?" Yui: "Would you want half a wooden sword?" Kyoko: "They'll love it!" Yui: "Do whatever you want!" Kyoko: "That looks delicious." All: "Let's eat." Kyoko: "This taro is delicious." Kyoko: "Yui, give me yours!" Yui: "I already ate mine." Kyoko: "What?" Kyoko: "Then give me yours, Ayano!" Ayano: "You can have it..." Kyoko: "Let's trade. What do you want?" Ayano: "In that case, your daikon..." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "It's too much work to bring everything with me." Ayano: "Oh, okay..." Kyoko: "Is it good?" Ayano: "Yeah..." Student E: "Huh? Ikeda-san, you got red miso soup?" Ayano: "Now it's my turn." Kyoko: "I can't wait!" Kyoko: "Taro is delicious." Chitose: "Don't worry about it." Ayano: "I'm not upset!" Kyoko: "Hey, Chizuru! Give me your taro." Chizuru: "No!" Kyoko: "I got the leftover rice!" Yui: "I can't eat all of this!" Kyoko: "We're still growing!" Kyoko: "I feel sick..." Yui: "You ran around too much, and now you're tired. What are you, an elementary school student?" Kyoko: "I'm a high school student." Yui: "You're still making jokes?" Yui: "Here, stomach medicine." Kyoko: "Mouth to mouth, please." Yui: "Suffer by yourself." Kyoko: "So mean." Kyoko: "The futons have been laid out." Chitose: "Toshino-san, are you up for this?" Kyoko: "Good idea." Yui: "Huh? What?" Kyoko: "The pillow fight competition!" Ayano: "We can't do that! We might be on a school trip, but..." Chitose: "Now, now, Ayano-chan. Don't be so strict." Yui: "Are there any rules to pillow fighting?" Chitose: "Now that you mention it, I'm not sure." Kyoko: "Keep going until your opponent stops moving." Ayano: "Is this a death match?" Kyoko: "And a special rule! If you get a nosebleed, you're disqualified!" Ayano: "What? You must be planning on" Ayano: "to give Chitose a nosebleed!" Kyoko: "What are you talking about?" Ayano: "You can't fool me." Kyoko: "Sorry, Ayano." Kyoko: "She's already bleeding!" Yui: "That was quick! Is she disqualified?" Ayano: "No, we haven't started yet, so she's safe!" Kyoko: "This'll be a piece of cake." Chitose: "Don't underestimate me. I'll show you what I can really do." Kyoko: "Ready, start! Ayano, kiss me!" Chitose: "What?" Ayano: "Oh, no!" Chitose: "No, I'm not bleeding..." Chitose: "I'm not bleeding yet." Yui: "It's coming out of your eyes! Kyoko! You're risking Chitose's life, so you're not allowed to do that!" Ayano: "You cheater!" Ayano: "I'd like to make a special rule of my own!" Kyoko: "Okay, bring it on! What is it?" Ayano: "No man-speak!" Kyoko: "What? I mean, what did you say? Are you sure about that?" Ayano: "Oh, really?" Kyoko: "Yui, are you..." Yui: "I'm... not embarrassed to talk like... a girl..." Chitose: "It's super effective against Funami-san!" Kyoko: "You cheater! Take this!" Ayano: "That attack won't work against me, dear!" Kyoko: "You do pretty well for yourself, honey." Yui: "They have both mastered woman-speak" Chitose: "They both sound like Furutani-san." Ayano: "Take this!" Ayano: "I did it. I got a hit." Kyoko: "You've done it now!" Kyoko: "Oh, sorry..." Chitose: "Nice hit." Yui: "There! Sorry." Chitose: "Two combo." Kyoko: "Ayano-san! Your yukata is coming undone!" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "You're wide open!" Kyoko: "Super rolling!" Kyoko: "Yui! You've done it now!" Ayano: "What? Why me?" Kyoko: "Cheater! Cheater!" Ayano: "Misplaced resentment! Misplaced resentment!" Kyoko: "You're making me angry!" Ayano: "What did you say?" Kyoko: "Hey, I'm all sweaty." Ayano: "How fortunate. I was just thinking the same thing." Kyoko: "Chitose was hit by a stray pillow and is out, too." Both: "I'm exhausted." Kyoko: "I'm so sweaty." Kyoko: "Well? Do you want to take another bath?" Ayano: "Tomorrow morning's fine." Kyoko: "Should we go now?" Ayano: "Yeah." Kyoko: "I didn't expect to find you here, Chizuru." Chizuru: "Why are you here?" Chitose: "Now, now. Don't act like that." Yui: "The stars are beautiful." Ayano: "They are." Kyoko: "I wish everyday were like this." Kyoko: "Hey! Someone say something!" Yui: "I'm in a good mood, so I'm keeping quiet." Ayano: "That's right." Kyoko: "I hope the good times last forever." Akari: "I'm the beginning and ending protagonist Akaza Akari. The title call and preview are mine! Yuru Yuri is approaching its climax. My time to shine is almost here! At least, I hope it is."

Yui: "Hey, Kyoko! Don't cry!" Kyoko: "But Yui..." Akari: "Transform: Leaf Mask!" Akari: "Pain, pain, go away. Fly away to the end of the universe." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, you laughed." Kyoko: "Because Akari, you..." Yui: "Grab on." Kyoko: "Okay. Thanks... Ow." Yui: "Licking this will cure it in no time!" Kyoko: "Okay." Akari: "Um, what about today's title call?" Chinatsu: "So cute. Yui-senpai, you've been cool since you were little." Kyoko: "You'll embarrass me if you flatter me so much." Yui: "She's not talking about you." Akari: "Huh? Is this from the time we had that fight?" Yui: "Huh? Yeah, it is." Chinatsu: "The three of you had a fight?" Kyoko: "No, no." Chinatsu: "I guess you knew some bad kids." Kyoko: "It went something like this..." Yui: "What do you want to do today?" Akari: "Yes, Captain Yui! I want to play on the swings!" Kyoko: "I want to play on the slide." Yui: "Okay, we'll compromise and play on the jungle gym." Chinatsu: "Hold it right there!" Chinatsu: "This is my turf, so you can't play here!" Yui: "What? What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "This playground belongs to everyone." Chinatsu: "No! It's my turf now!" Akari: "Who decided that and when? What hour, minute and second?" Chinatsu: "In any case, it belongs to me!" Yui: "This is stupid." Chinatsu: "Hey, you! Come here!" Kyoko: "Me?" Chinatsu: "Yeah, you! Come over here right now!" Kyoko: "What?" Chinatsu: "If you want this girl back, get out of here!" Akari: "She took Kyoko-chan hostage?" Yui: "That's not fair! Let Kyoko go!" Chinatsu: "Don't touch me! I'll get your germs!" Chinatsu: "Germ Touch!" Akari: "I'll touch you, too!" Chinatsu: "I've put up a barrier, so it won't work." Yui: "What school do you go to?" Chinatsu: "I won't tell you. I'm just here visiting my grandma." Akari: "What? Boss, she's an outsider!" Chinatsu: "If you don't leave, who knows what will happen to this girl?" Chinatsu: "Maybe I'll squish her cheeks and turn her into a manju. Maybe I'll shave her head." Akari: "How awful! Boss, this girl's evil!" Kyoko: "Yui, help me..." Yui: "I won't let you get away with bullying my troops!" Yui: "Take this! Deadly Yui Kick!" Chinatsu: "Ow... How dare you!" Yui: "Damn it! Fight fair!" Akari: "Stop it! Don't bully people! Transform: Anti-bully Ranger!" Chinatsu: "Lame." Yui: "An opening! Germ Touch!" Chinatsu: "I made a barrier, again!" Yui: "This germ penetrates barriers." Chinatsu: "You she-male!" Yui: "Wimp." Chinatsu: "Brute." Yui: "Midget." Both: "I hate this girl." Yui: "Lieutenant Akari, protect Kyoko!" Akari: "Brassiere that!" Yui: "Let go." Chinatsu: "No, you." Kyoko: "Yui, let's just go home." Yui: "No! I refuse to listen to this selfish girl!" Kyoko: "But..." Yui: "It's okay. I'll protect you, Kyoko." Mother: "Chi!" Chinatsu: "Oh, mom." Mother: "Your grandmother's calling you. Come back." Chinatsu: "Okay." Chinatsu: "I'll let you go for today!" Yui: "Right back at you." Yui: "Sorry, Kyoko. Were you scared?" Kyoko: "No. You were so cool, Yui." Yui: "I won't let her claim everyone's playground for herself!" Akari: "That's right, Yui-chan!" Mother: "Looks like you're all having fun." Kyoko: "Oh, mom." Mother: "I'll take your picture." Kyoko: "Okay." Kyoko: "And this is the picture. We were so young back then." Yui: "What are you, an old man?" Chinatsu: "I still can't believe you were a crybaby, Kyoko-senpai." Chinatsu: "Are you sure you weren't making that up?" Kyoko: "How rude!" Chinatsu: "And what about you, Akari-chan?" Chinatus: "Did you think your Leaf Mask was funny or something?" Akari: "What?" Chinatsu: "You were quite the little punk, Yui-senpai," Kyoko: "Yui's the only one who's all okay? I'll kiss you, you midget." Chinatsu: "That brat is unforgivable! I'd like to beat her up if I saw her." Yui: "Violence isn't the answer." Yui: "I wonder what happened to that kid." Kyoko: "She was really selfish." Chinatsu: "I'm sure she's still a problem child. She must have been unbelievably selfish" Chinatsu: "She's got to be malicious and evil." Akari: "I didn't see anything, I saw nothing..." Chinatsu: "By the way, Yui-senpai," Yui: "Oh, yeah. When I was in preschool." Kyoko: "You cut your hair around the time you entered elementary school." Yui: "You were such a crybaby, I thought I had to be tough." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, you take good care of people, too!" Kyoko: "I see." Kyoko: "What's with the reaction?" Yui: "I was just thinking you used to be such a good kid." Kyoko: "There you go again, lady. I'm still a good kid." Yui: "Who are you calling "lady?"" Chinatsu: "I think I prefer Kyoko-senpai the way she used to be." Yui: "Right? Akari used to stand out more than Kyoko." Akari: "It used to be so much better, Kyoko-chan!" Kyoko: "She's serious..." Yui: "You definitely used to be cuter." Chinatsu: "Why did you become such a disappointment?" Kyoko: "What's wrong with you? Yui, you jerk! Chinatsu-chan, I love you! And Akarin!" All: "What is she saying?" Kyoko: "It's dangerous to walk without watching where you are going, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "You're right. Thanks, Toshino Kyo... What?" Akari: "We had a pop quiz today, but I didn't do very well." Kyoko: "That sounds rough, Akari-chan." Kyoko: "It's important to study a little every day." Akari: "Yeah." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, what about you?" Chinatsu: "I did all right." Kyoko: "Do either of you review beforehand?" Kyoko: "You can't forget the basics." Both: "Okay." Chinatsu: "Someone was talking during the quiz." Kyoko: "That's awful." Yui: "Kyoko, I bought some rum raisin ice cream the other day." Yui: "I bought quantity over quality, though." Kyoko: "That's nice, but you shouldn't eat too much. You're a girl, so you shouldn't eat too many sweet things." Yui: "I know." All: "What is this strange feeling?" Kyoko: "Fermat's last theorem is quite deep, isn't it?" Yui: "Who are you?" Both: "Who is she?" Yui: "I see." Kyoko: "This thing?" Kyoko: "Aside from this bump, nothing's wrong with me," Yui: "Something's wrong with you..." Akari: "What should we do? How can we fix this?" Yui: "Let's start by asking someone who might be able to help us." Ayano: "Are you really Toshino Kyoko?" Kyoko: "Yes." Ayano: "What happened to you? I'll never accept the new you!" Chitose: "Now, now. Calm down, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "Oh, sorry." Kyoko: "It's okay. Don't worry about it, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "This can't be. Toshino Kyoko can't be like this. Who is she calling Ayano-chan? I'm getting chills..." Himawari: "I wish this had happened to Sakurako instead of Toshino-senpai." Sakurako: "If you have something to say, say it, you busty beast!" Chitose: "This is quite the problem." Yui: "You don't seem bothered by this, Chitose. Do you think we should take her to the hospital?" Chitose: "I don't think she needs to go to the hospital." Chitose: "I think hitting her should do the trick." Yui: "Oh, really?" Chitose: "Wait here." Chitose: "This is all we have right now." Yui: "Why do you have these in the student council room?" Chitose: "Pick whatever you'd like." Yui: "Okay." Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "I've decided to keep an eye on her and see how she does." Chinatsu: "I see. But..." Chinatsu: "This isn't much of a problem, is it? Kyoko-senpai's a much more serious and good person this way." Akari: "It's okay, Kyoko-chan! I'm sure you'll return to normal!" Kyoko: "Akari-chan?" Akari: "This won't work! You have to be the center of our group." Yui: "Akari..." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan..." Kyoko: "I'm not sure I understand," Kyoko: "You've always been full of energy," Kyoko: "I hope you'll continue to pull us forward." Akari: "This might be okay..." Both: "That was quick!" Kyoko: "By the way, this has been bothering me," Yui: "Huh? Yeah, it is." Chinatsu: "I wanted to join the tea club," Yui: "Thanks." Akari: "We've just been using this room because the tea club was disbanded." Kyoko: "We shouldn't do something like that." All: "What?" Kyoko: "Using a club room without permission is an egregious offense. Perhaps we should reconsider..." Yui: "Hey, Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Yui, let me copy your notes!" Yui: "Again?" Kyoko: "Then let's share a diary." Yui: "Don't make me hit you." Kyoko: "Don't lose focus during class." Yui: "Okay." Akari: "And then... Oh, it's Kyoko-chan." Kyoko: "Are you two moving between classrooms?" Chinatsu: "Yeah." Kyoko: "Don't be late." Kyoko: "See you later." Akari: "What's wrong, Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Well, usually she'd..." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "Hooray!" Chinatsu: "Stop it!" Kyoko: "We must be bound by the red string of fate for us to meet here." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, help me." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, I'm here, too! Don't ignore me!" Akari: "You're right." Chinatsu: "I don't know what happened, but I'm glad it did. Kyoko-senpai would be all over me every chance she got." Akari: "I'm not sure I like it." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan?" Akari: "If Kyoko-chan doesn't ignore me," Kyoko: "Oh?" Kyoko: "Chizuru-chan." Chizuru: "What?" Kyoko: "Didn't you find this book first? Here." Chitose: "Chizuru." Chitose: "What's wrong?" Chizuru: "Nee-san." Chizuru: "It was so scary!" Chitose: "I don't know what you're talking about, but it's not scary now." Ayano: "Come in." Kyoko: "Excuse me." Ayano: "To- Toshino Kyoko?" Kyoko: "Ayano-chan, do you have a minute?" Ayano: "Yes." Himawari: "Toshino-senpai knocked before she came in! But she's as impudent as you..." Sakurako: "Yeah, as... Hey!" Himawari: "The two of you behave rather similarly." Sakurako: "What? You'll embarrass me." Himawari: "I'm not praising you." Kyoko: "I want to talk to you about the tea club room." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "I'm sorry for using it without permission." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "I know we've caused you trouble, but I'll do something about it soon." Ayano: "Something? What are you planning? That room's your Amusement Club's..." Kyoko: "Rules are meant to be followed." Kyoko: "It's okay. Yui and the others will understand. Sorry for interrupting your busy day." Chinatsu: "Good morning." Kyoko: "Good morning." Himawari: "Aren't the two of you going to your club today?" Akari: "Huh? Yeah, we will. Right?" Chinatsu: "Of course!" Chinatsu: "I've got to use this time to get closer to Yui-senpai! Let's go, Akari-chan." Akari: "Okay. See you guys later, Himawari-chan, Sakurako-chan." Ayano: "I'm getting a lot of work done now that" Chitose: "Don't push yourself too hard, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "Push myself too hard?" Chitose: "Since Toshino-san has been acting that way," Chitose: "I don't feel well." Ayano: "That's good for you." Kyoko: "I'm terminating the Amusement Club today." Chinatsu: "But..." Akari: "Why, Kyoko-chan?" Kyoko: "I thought about it," Kyoko: "Besides, the Amusement Club doesn't actually do anything." Yui: "Are you serious, Kyoko?" Kyoko: "Yes. You understand, don't you?" Kyoko: "Starting today, this is the Amusement Club's room!" Yui: "You don't need to announce that." Yui: "What's an Amusement Club, anyway?" Kyoko: "Fun!" Yui: "I don't get it." Kyoko: "Now that we're middle schoolers," Kyoko: "This place will be our secret base for just that!" Yui: "Secret base..." Kyoko: "Let's make it together, Yui!" Kyoko: "Our very own Amusement Club!" Yui: "You're hopeless, Kyoko." Yui: "No." Both: "What?" Yui: "Absolutely not." Kyoko: "Yui?" Yui: "You can be troublesome," Yui: "but, that was a lot of fun! I never knew what you'd do," Yui: "I like the fun you give me!" Yui: "So come back." Akari: "Me, too!" Akari: "I liked you the way you were!" Chinatsu: "To be honest," Akari: "Come back, Kyoko-chan!" Kyoko: "Everyone..." Yui: "Sorry, Kyoko." Yui: "But since that's how it is..." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "I'll drive you out of this room today!" Kyoko: "I accept your challenge! If you lose, the two of you will join the Amusement Club!" Ayano: "I won't lose!" Akari: "Akarin." Akari: "Come on, everyone! Follow me! Let's run into the sunset! Go for the gold! Japan's best Amusement Club! I'll be the star!" Yui: "Akari, did you fall down some stairs?" Akari: "This thing?" Akari: "Aside from this bump, nothing's wrong with me," Akari: "What?" Akari: "I'm Akaza Akari and I'm still the protagonist! Now that we've wrapped up our story, everyone will be" Akari: "This is the way the Amusement Club should be. Keep watching me until the very end!"

All: "Mari-chan." Mari: "Hey." Mari: "Yuru Yuri's starting." Kyoko: "Good work." Yui: "Great job." Akari: "Um, that's my job, and it's the last episode." Rival: "Why... Why did this happen?" Mirakurun: "I had no choice." Rival: "Why can't you perform a miracle like you usually do?" Rival: "If you're gone, whose rival will I be?" Mirakurun: "Become the rival of all those" Mirakurun: "Look after everyone for me." Rival: "Mirakurun... Mirakurun!" Rival: "Mirakurun!" Mirakurun: "Oh, and finish my Japanese and math homework." Rival: "Mirakurun! Mirakurun!" Mirakurun: "Oh, and could you get me some juice and yakisoba bread?" Rival: "Mirakurun! Mirakurun!" Rival: "Mirakurun!" Ayano: "What are you doing?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "School's over. You can't stay here forever." : "Hey, everyone." Ayano: "President, Sensei, what are you doing?" : "Making preparations, of course." Ayano: "For what?" Kyoko: "An overnighter." Chitose: "An overnighter? How fun." Ayano: "Fine, I guess I'll go get permission for you. Don't do anything until I come back." Kyoko: "Don't worry about a thing." Ayano: "As if you're trustworthy, Toshino Kyoko." Yui: "Sorry for the trouble." Chitose: "Don't worry about it. Are you sure it's all right for us to stay, too?" Yui: "Yeah. The president will be there, too. Why don't you invite everyone else?" Chitose: "Okay. Let's go, then." Ayano: "I'm just coming to make sure you girls don't do anything weird. I'm not happy at all!" Kyoko: "Tada!" Akari: "Animal pajamas." Yui: "How cute." Kyoko: "Here's yours, Akari." Kyoko: "Yui, here's yours." Kyoko: "Here, Chinachu." Chinatsu: "Don't call me that. How did you get these? Aren't they expensive?" Kyoko: "I won them at an arcade." Chinatsu: "How do I look? Is it cute?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're adorable." Yui: "Yeah, it's cute." Kyoko: "The black really makes you look thin." Yui: "What kind of comment is that?" Akari: "I'm a doggy." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, shake." Chinatsu: "Once more." Chinatsu: "Chin." Chinatsu: "Bow." Yui: "Akari..." Kyoko: "Get changed, Yui." Yui: "What?" Akari: "Yui-chan, you're so cute." Chinatsu: "You look great, Senpai." Yui: "This is embarrassing." Kyoko: "Not bad." Akari: "What's yours, Kyoko-chan?" Kyoko: "Mine's really cute." Akari: "Is it a cat? A rabbit?" Kyoko: "Tada!" Kyoko: "I'm a tomato!" Yui: "What sort of choice is that?" Kyoko: "Yui, try stepping on me." Yui: "Did I squish you because you're a tomato?" Chinatsu: "Speaking of, do pandas make a noise?" Yui: "I'm not sure. Do you know, Kyoko?" Kyoko: "Tomato." Kyoko: "Tomato." Kyoko: "Toma... Toma... To... To... Um, Yui-san?" Akari: "I've always wanted to try these on." Chinatsu: "Me, too." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, thank you." Akari: "Thank you." Kyoko: "It was nothing." Yui: "This is embarrassing. I want to take it off." Kyoko: "No! These are symbols of our friendship. These are our bond." Kyoko: "They're what connects us." Yui: "What are you saying?" Kyoko: "So keep it on, okay?" Yui: "Oh, fine." Chinatsu: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You look very cute, Yui-senpai." Kyoko: "You're not as cute as me, though." Yui: "Shut up, Tomato." Kyoko: "Okay." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, come here." Chinatsu: "Senpai, I'm hungry." Akari: "She ignored me?" Yui: "We haven't had lunch yet, have we? Is there anything you want to eat?" Akari: "I want spaghetti." Chinatsu: "I like carbonara." Kyoko: "I'm going to the bathroom." Yui: "Let's make carbonara, then. Will you help me make it?" Chinatsu: "Sure. I'd like mine with eggs on top." Kyoko: "Are you buying ingredients for lunch?" Yui: "Yeah. Give us a hand, Kyoko." Kyoko: "No way." Yui: "We'll need some fresh cream." Chinatsu: "You're right." Yui: "You took off your tomato." Kyoko: "Yeah, it got in the way in the bathroom." Yui: "You said I couldn't." Kyoko: "Pajamas are for nighttime, anyway." Yui: "You're the one who wanted to wear them." Kyoko: "Welcome to the first Amusement Club versus Student Council... super serious expelled-if-you-lose contest!" All: "What?" Kyoko: "And so, the contest has started. The nature of the contest will be decided by lottery." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, no one told me about being expelled." Kyoko: "I was surprised when I said it, too." Yui: "What are you up to?" Kyoko: "Did you think you could get away from me?" Ayano: "I'm disappointed, but..." Chitose: "So good." Ayano: "Chitose!" Ayano: "You're hopeless without me." Chitose: "I know, so don't leave me." Himawari: "Are you all right, Senpai?" Chizuru: "I'm fine." Sakurako: "Quit acting like a good girl, you busty moron." Himawari: "What's gotten into you?" Sakurako: "Stupid, stupid." Chinatsu: "What's going on?" Akari: "With all these people here, our presence is diminished even more." Chinatsu: ""Our"? Kyoko-senpai, let's get this started!" Kyoko: "Okay..." Akari: "I won't lose." Sakurako: "Neither will I." Kyoko: "First contest: Othello match. Ready, go!" Kyoko: "That's game." Kyoko: "The winner is Akari." Akari: "Hooray!" Chinatsu: "Good job." Akari: "I've always been good at this." Himawari: "I didn't expect you to do well in an intellectual contest." Sakurako: "Don't treat me like an idiot. That's odd..." Himawari: "What is?" Sakurako: "When did Akari-chan put a stone there?" Yui: "She managed to erase the presence of her own stones..." Himawari: "Um, am I supposed to do this?" Chinatsu: "What? I don't want to impersonate Mirakurun any more. Yes! This'll be easy!" Chinatsu: "Witch of love and justice, Mirakurun, has arrived!" Akari: "Dark." Sakurako: "Excessive." Chizuru: "Sour." Himawari: "I'm... Rivalrun." Himawari: "This is embarrassing." Kyoko: "The winner is Himawari-chan." Himawari: "What?" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, why?" Kyoko: "You do, Chinatsu-chan. You're my very own Mirakurun." Chinatsu: "Senpai... Senpai!" Kyoko: "Chinachu." Chinatsu: "I'm not falling for that." Yui: "Gestures, huh?" Kyoko: "Chizurun." Yui: "Her way of thinking is abnormal. As long as I understand that..." Akari: "Let the gesture battle begin." Yui: "A man eating a churro." Kyoko: "What? I'm playing a flute." Yui: "I overthought it." Kyoko: "Here's the next one." Yui: "This must be..." Yui: "A baseball batter." Kyoko: "No, someone holding a train handrail." Yui: "What's wrong with you?" Kyoko: "What's wrong with your answer? Next one." Yui: "Boobs." Kyoko: "It's me." Yui: "No, it's not!" Chitose: "Ready?" Chizuru: "Fushimi Inari-taisha guardian fox." Chitose: "Correct." Chizuru: "Kiyomizu Temple Inari-taisha guardian fox." Chizuru: "Koizumi Yakumo's beloved Matsue Castle Shrine stone fox." Chitose: "Correct." Sakurako: "Can you tell the difference?" Himawari: "Of course not." Ayano: "Didn't everyone from the Amusement Club compete already?" Kyoko: "I thought this might happen, so I've prepared a special member. Please come in." Ayano: "Why the president?" : "She says, helping students in need is the student council president's responsibility." Ayano: "But..." : "She says, I cannot let you become" : "I made that part up." Ayano: "Please don't lie to me!" Ayano: "What sort of contest is this?" : "Whoever produces the more interesting results is the winner. Simple, isn't it? Let's get this experiment started." Himawari: "Why don't you get out first?" Sakurako: "Himawari, even your boobs have turned bright red." Himawari: "My breasts have nothing to do with this." Akari: "Himawari-chan, Sakurako-chan, can we get in?" Akari: "This feels great." Chinatsu: "I wanted to bathe with Yui-senpai." Akari: "These are too small for that." Chinatsu: "It'd be better because it's small." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you..." Akari: "They're beautiful." Akari: "I feel like I could touch them if I reached far enough." Chinatsu: "I'm glad I didn't bathe with her." Akari: "Help me, someone!" Akari: "You're kidding! No!" Kyoko: "I thought we had two." Ayano: "Go right ahead. I'll wait." Kyoko: "We'll make it work. Come on." Ayano: "Wait, Toshino Kyoko." Kyoko: "I guess it's a little cramped." Ayano: "That's what I said. Sheesh." Chitose: "So good." Yui: "Chitose?" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "It's been bothering me for a while now," Ayano: "What are you looking at?" Chitose: "So good." Yui: "Again?" Kyoko: "Shall we get out?" Ayano: "Yeah." Kyoko: "Me first." Chitose: "Too much." Yui: "Cut it out!" : "Your hair's quite long. Do you want me to cut it?" All: "Thanks for the food." Kyoko: "Oof." Himawari: "I'll go borrow some futons." Sakurako: "A rush mat's good enough for you." Himawari: "What does that mean?" Chitose: "Thank you." Chinatsu: "I forgot about Akari-chan." Chinatsu: "I'll go look for her." Yui: "Okay." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, help clean up." Kyoko: "But I brought dessert." Kyoko: "Tada!" Kyoko: "Chocolate!" Chitose: "Those chocolates look delicious. I haven't had any since I was really little." All: "What?" Kyoko: "Are you serious?" Kyoko: "Your life must be sad if you never eat chocolate. Eat up! Eat lots!" Chitose: "Are you sure?" Chitose: "Thanks for the chocolate." Ayano: "You can't fool me with those. Make sure you help clean up." Ayano: "You're unbelievable." Chitose: "Ayano-chan." Chitose: "I kissed Ayano-chan." Yui: "What's going on?" Chizuru: "Nee-san?" Yui: "Chizuru, what's wrong with her?" Chizuru: "The beast inside her awakens when she eats chocolate." Yui: "Monster?" Chizuru: "When we were little..." Chitose: "Can I have some chocolate?" Chitose: "You're so mean, grandma." Grandmother: "Chocolate is a dangerous thing." Grandmother: "If children eat chocolate, they'll turn into terrible monsters." Chitose: "Really?" Grandmother: "Really. Chocolate is scary." Grandmother: "It's really scary." Chizuru: "Our grandmother was just" Chizuru: "Her story lead to this tragedy." Yui: "Then don't eat chocolate!" Chizuru: "We forgot." Yui: "You forgot? Only the monster remains?" Chizuru: "In any case, once she gets like this..." Chitose: "Chizuru, let me give you a kiss." Yui: "Hey, Chizuru! Chizuru! She's finished. At this rate..." Yui: "Hey, Ayano! What are you doing?" Ayano: "I lost consciousness." Yui: "Welcome back." Chitose: "Funami-san!" Chinatsu: "Sorry we're late. I had trouble finding Akari-chan." Akari: "I got washed away in a river and lost consciousness." Chinatsu: "Se-se-se-senpai!" Chinatsu: "No!" Akari: "What? What is this?" Kyoko: "I'll stop her." Ayano: "Don't do it, Toshino Kyoko. It's too dangerous." Kyoko: "It's all right." Yui: "Kyoko..." Kyoko: "Come, Chitose." Chitose: "Toshino-san!" Yui: "Kyoko!" Yui: "You're welcoming her?" Ayano: "How can we stop Chitose?" Yui: "Maybe we have to wait until she runs out of energy." Ayano: "She'll only inflict more damage." Yui: "Then we have to tire her out." Ayano: "How?" Yui: "With nosebleeds." Ayano: "You're going to kill her." Yui: "But it's the only way." Yui: "The thing that gives Chitose nosebleeds is..." Ayano: "Is?" Ayano: "No! Of course not! Absolutely not!" Yui: "But you have to do it." Yui: "Can you leave Chitose like that?" Ayano: "Chitose!" Ayano: "Watch carefully!" Both: "Sorry we're late." Yui: "Good night." All: "Good night." Kyoko: "That was fun." Yui: "I guess so." Kyoko: "Let's do it again sometime." Ayano: "Make sure you get permission next time." : "You're worried you won't be able to wake up tomorrow?" : "Don't worry. I brought an alarm clock." : "I set it for 7:30, so you can rest easy." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, are you still awake?" Kyoko: "What?" Ayano: "Thanks for inviting me." Ayano: "That's all! Good night!" Kyoko: "Ayano, do you want to sleep together?" Ayano: "Go to sleep already!" Kyoko: "Good morning." Kyoko: "Akari." Yui: "She did it to save us." Chinatsu: "You'll always be in our hearts, Akari-chan." Kyoko: "That's right. We'll never forget you, Akari." Sfx: "Akarin." Akari: "Hey, everyone! I'm not dead!"

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Yuru Yuri is starting." Chitose: "Something on your mind?" Ayano: "I don't understand." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you're bleeding." Ayano: "Why am I always second?" Ayano: "I lost to her again!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Huh? Ayano?" Ayano: "What's your problem?" Chitose: "Excuse us." Ayano: "You never study," Kyoko: "What?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, that's amazing!" Chinatsu: "Are you really at the top of your class?" Kyoko: "Well, yeah..." Chinatsu: "What?" Akari: "Just one night?" Yui: "I bet the people who study all the time would" Yui: "Just like her." Ayano: "Just one night?" Ayano: "Because of it, my shoulders are stiff and my skin is terrible!" Chinatsu: "I can't believe someone like you is" Kyoko: "Yeah, well..." Yui: "That's not a compliment..." Ayano: "Listen to me!" Ayano: "What are you girls doing sitting around here?" Ayano: "You can't use a club room without permission! I, Vice President of the student council," Kyoko: "What?" Ayano: "That's... that's not important! Anyway, using a club room without permission" Yui: "Fine... fine Irvine?" Chitose: "Calm down, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "Chitose." Chitose: "Let's settle this peacefully..." Chitose: "with a contest." Ayano: "You call that peaceful?" Kyoko: "A contest, you say?" Kyoko: "People say I'm amazing when I strip." Chitose: "Oh, my! Ayano-chan's not bad either." Chitose: "So fierce, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "Shut up!" Ayano: "If I beat you on the next test, you'll leave this room!" Both: "What?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, what are you going to do?" Chinatsu: "I don't think you should accept this challenge." Kyoko: "The next test, huh?" Chitose: "But there are other contests besides tests." Ayano: "Like what?" Ayano: "Hey, don't you think it's hot in here?" Kyoko: "Sheesh... Stop playing with those other girls and play with me." Chitose: "I call it the sexiness contest!" Chitose: "Twice..." Kyoko: "Fine. I accept your challenge, but if I win..." Kyoko: "the two of you will join the Amusement Club." Ayano: "What?" Chinatsu: "You're going to accept her challenge?" Kyoko: "I just won't lose. Besides, it'd be fun to have the two of them." Ayano: "Fine, I accept your terms." Yui: "Kyoko, if you lose, we have to pay a fine Irvine!" Kyoko: "You like that, don't you?" Ayano: "I'll win and make you cry!" Kyoko: "There's no way I'd cry." Ayano: "Impossible..." Ayano: "I lost... I..." Kyoko: "This is my true strength! So," Kyoko: "starting today, you're mine." Ayano: "Please don't hurt me." Chitose: "Allow me to explain! When I enter fantasy mode," Chitose: "I see with my heart and focus my mind! Toshino-san," Chitose: "you must win!" Ayano: "Why are you rooting for her?" Chitose: "What? I don't get anything if you win." Ayano: "Now get out!" Kyoko: "But what we had together..." Ayano: "However, don't worry." Kyoko: "What?" Ayano: "The tea club room isn't your only home." Ayano: "I'd be happy to take in a stray kitten." Kyoko: "Ayano-sama..." Chitose: "You can do it, Ayano-chan!" Ayano: "Your nosebleed is out of control." Akari: "Here." Chitose: "Thank you." Ayano: "Anyway, look forward to the next test!" Chitose: "Thank you for the tissues, Akaza-san." Yui: "What was that?" Ayano: "What?" Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you said all that" Ayano: "What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "What was that?" Yui: "Fine Irvine! Fine..." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko's the only one" Ayano: "She's unbelievable." Chitose: "There you go again, Ayano-chan!" Chitose: "You just want an excuse to talk to Toshino-san!" Chitose: "She slapped me again..." Ayano: "Come on! Let's go, Chitose!" Chitose: "What? But I still need to organize these papers." Chitose: "Are you embarrassed to go by yourself?" Ayano: "No!" Ayano: "Sheesh!" Chitose: "I see. But I really must organize these papers..." Sakurako: "Sorry I'm late." Himawari: "Homeroom ran late." Himawari: "Organize paperwork?" Chitose: "Yes. I was wondering if you'd do it for us while we're out." Sakurako: "No problem. Leave it to us!" Himawari: "I'd be happy to do it for you." Ayano: "Thanks." Chitose: "Thank you." Chitose: "We'll buy you some juice later." Sakurako: "Hooray!" Himawari: "I won't lose!" Sakurako: "I won't lose either!" Sakurako: "I won't lose to you, Himawari!" Himawari: "You're such a brat, Sakurako..." Himawari: "Huh? A photo?" Sakurako: "Yeah!" Sakurako: "The student council group photo! I pretended to get along with you" Himawari: "So did I." Himawari: "Take a look at my right hand!" Sakurako: "What about your hand?" Himawari: "I was going to punch you." Sakurako: "What? I'll get you first!" Sakurako: "I'm a pacifist..." Himawari: "There sure is a lot of paperwork." Sakurako: "Yeah." Himawari: "I wonder if we can find anyone to help us." Sakurako: "I bet we could ask those girls." Chinatsu: "What? Help you organize papers?" Sakurako: "Yeah! The two of you aren't in a club, right?" Akari: "I'll do it!" Chinatsu: "Me, too!" Sakurako: "Wow, really?" Himawari: "Thank you." Akari: "I know! I'll ask my friends, too. It'll take no time at all!" Kyoko: "Hey." Kyoko: "Let's go to the club room." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, Yui-chan." Akari: "Speak of the devil." Ayano: "It's locked." Chitose: "Maybe she's still in the classroom." Kyoko: "I'm student council President Toshino Kyoko!" Yui: "We just need to sort these, right?" Chinatsu: "Yes, looks like it." Akari: "So this is what the student council room looks like." Kyoko: "There's a refrigerator! What's inside?" Sakurako: "Didn't you have a club to go to?" Yui: "Don't worry about it." Kyoko: "This pudding's got Ayano written on it!" Himawari: "Funami-senpai, could you take care of these?" Yui: "Sure." Kyoko: "All right, let's do this." Sakurako: "Hey! That pudding!" Kyoko: "Delicious!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "Huh? No one's here..." Chitose: "Maybe she went home already." Chitose: "The roof! Maybe she's on the roof." Ayano: "Yes, the roof!" Yui: "What an idiot." Himawari: "Sakurako, you're too slow." Sakurako: "Himawari-san, you're the one who" Kyoko: "Why do you two hate each other so much?" Akari: "They both want to be the next student council vice president." Chinatsu: "They're always like this in class, too." Sakurako: "That's right!" Himawari: "We've been in the same class since preschool," Sakurako: "So am I!" Kyoko: "This handout..." Yui: "What's up?" Kyoko: "I forgot all about it." Kyoko: "The due date was yesterday." Himawari: "Certainly." Sakurako: "I'll do it." Chinatsu: "Sakurako-chan, you haven't made any progress." Ayano: "She's not on the roof." Chitose: "Maybe she's in the library..." Ayano: "That's it! You just wait, Toshino Kyoko!" Sakurako: "All right!" Sakurako: "We're finished!" Kyoko: "That was quick." Sakurako: "Thank you for all your help, everyone!" Yui: "We're going to our club room." Himawari: "No, we'll be fine. Thank you again." Akari: "See you later." Sakurako: "Thank you." Kyoko: "Thanks for taking care of the handout." Himawari: "Of course." Sakurako: "Everything's neat and tidy." Himawari: "You were slow, though." Sakurako: "Look who's talking..." Himawari: "You're so careless. You should watch your step." Sakurako: "Thanks..." Chitose: "Hey, we're back." Chitose: "You're finished! Amazing! How is this possible?" Himawari: "Our friends came to help us." Sakurako: "Huh? Sugiura-senpai, what's wrong?" Ayano: "No no Notre Dame need to worry." Chitose: "Just leave her be. She wanted to see someone, but couldn't find her." Himawari: "Oh, right..." Himawari: "This is for you, Sugiura-senpai." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko's handout!" Chiotse: "Where'd you get that?" Sakurako: "Toshino-senpai and them helped us, too!" Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "I just missed her..." Kyoko: "Someone must be talking about me." Ayano: "My pudding's missing!" Ayano: "Double shock..." Akari: "Delicious." Himawari: "I wanted to thank you for helping us organize the paperwork." Chinatsu: "This is really delicious!" Akari: "This is amazing." Himawari: "Even you can make them." Sakurako: "Cookies..." Himawari: "What, Sakurako? Do you want some, too?" Sakurako: "Huh? I don't want any!" Akari: "They're good, Sakurako-chan." Chinatsu: "Try one." Chinatsu: "Come on. They're delicious!" Sakurako: "I said I didn't want any! Stupid! Idiot!" Himawari: "How rude." Himawari: "Oh?" Chinatsu: "What is it?" Himawari: "I forgot my gym clothes." Akari: "What?" Sakurako: "I've got two..." Chinatsu: "Huh? Why?" Sakurako: "Do you want one?" Himawari: "I don't want to ask my rival for help, but..." Himawari: "Thank you." Sakurako: "Just this once, all right?" Himwari: "Sakurako, the chest is the wrong size." Sakurako: "Are you trying to start a fight?" Himawari: "Don't bite me!" Sakurako: "I missed!" Himawari: "Get out of the way." Himawari: "There!" Himawari: "I did it!" Sakurako: "Boing, boing." Sakurako: "Boing, boing!" Himawari: "Cut it out!" Akari: "PE in the afternoon is rough." Himawari: "I'll wash it before I return it." Sakurako: "Just give it back!" Sakurako: "Sheesh." Sakurako: "Are you trying to make me angry?" Himawari: "Shut up!" Himawari: "Um, Sakurako." Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "You can have them." Sakurako: "What?" Himawari: "There were some left over, so... Don't read into it!" Sakurako: "They're wrapped." Sakurako: "I know!" Chinatsu: "See you later, Akari-chan." Akari: "Yeah! Eat a lot of delicious food!" Chinatsu: "Okay! Bye!" Akari: "Bye! Chinatsu-chan's going out with her family. What should I do today?" Chitose: "Since Ayano-chan wasn't here today, it was a little boring." Kyoko: "Chitose." Kyoko: "Let's go see Ayano!" Chitose: "What?" Kyoko: "Are you cold? I'll warm you up." Ayano: "It's okay. You'll catch my cold." Kyoko: "If it'll make you better, I don't care." Ayano: "Kyoko..." Ayano: "Thanks for coming." Chitose: "No problem. How's your cold?" Ayano: "My stomach hurts a little, and I have a fever." Chitose: "I'm glad you're feeling okay." Ayano: "Who suggested you come here? Was it you, Chitose?" Kyoko: "No, it was me." Ayano: "What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "Huh?" Chitose: "You get embarrassed so easily. You caught a cold from" Ayano: "Ow, my stomach..." Kyoko: "Are you okay?" Kyoko: "You should stop eating stuff you find on the ground." Ayano: "I don't do that." Yui: "If you don't rest, your fever will rise." Ayano: "I'll check my temperature." Chitose: "I'm glad it's not the flu." Kyoko: "If it's the flu, they don't treat it as an absence, right? You should tell the school you've got the flu, then!" Chitose: "You mustn't lie." Kyoko: "Oh, right!" Kyoko: "You should get an influenza prize from your doctor." Yui: "What sort of prize is that?" Ayano: "37.5 degrees..." Yui: "Did it go up?" Ayano: "It's down a little." Chitose: "That's wonderful." Yui: "Should we make some porridge?" Chitose: "Please." Yui: "Open up." Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "The porridge's done." Kyoko: "Just one? No fair! I want porridge, too!" Kyoko: "I'm sick, too! I feel like I'm getting a fever!" Yui: "Just eat as much as you can." Ayano: "Delicious." Ayano: "I feel a little better after eating that. Funami-san, thanks for the porridge." Yui: "Sure." Kyoko: "Ayano, get well soon and come back to school." Chitose: "It's okay. It's just a nosebleed!" Yui: "You're not okay." Ayano: "I don't need you to tell me that." Ayano: "But thanks for coming to see me today." Yui: "Again!" Chitose: "Today has been a bountiful harvest." Kyoko: "I've got to get going." Ayano: "It's all right. I don't want you to catch a cold," Kyoko: "Come on, Chitose. Let's go." Chitose: "What?" Chitose: "My glasses, where are my glasses?" Kyoko: "Fine. I'll help you." Chitose: "Oh, no! If I don't put my glasses back on," Yui: "Stop your nosebleed first!" Chitose: "I'm losing consciousness." Yui: "Hang in there!" Ayano: "Call an ambulance!" Kyoko: "An ambulance won't solve this problem! To really solve this problem, we need to get some glasses!" Yui: "Shut up." Ayano: "My fever's rising." Akari: "Everyone's late." Kyoko: "The next episode of Yuru Yuri features: Kyoko and her beloved rum raisin," Kyoko: "I think that's all of them. This has been your protagonist, Toshino Kyoko."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Yuru Yuri's starting." Akari: "I'm Akaza Akari. I'm a bit of a spaz," Akari: "I just became a first year" Akari: "I'm still not used to being a middle school student, but I'm excited about all" Akari: "A new school, new classes, and new friends." Akari: "I still get excited just putting on my uniform. I wonder what wonderful future lies ahead of me?" Kyoko: "I can still make it!" Kyoko: "All right!" Yui: "You weren't late, but as punishment" Akari: "Oh, dear." Kyoko: "I bet I left it on my desk at home!" Yui: "It's because you oversleep." Kyoko: "Help me with my homework!" Yui: "No." Kyoko: "Boo." Kyoko: "Huh? "Cabbage"?" Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "That." Yui: "Oh, right." Yui: "Why don't you try it too so you stop forgetting stuff?" Kyoko: "I see! I'll try it." Akari: "Hey!" Chinatsu: "It is very inconvenient to forget things. I often forget where I left things in my room." Yui: "Yeah, me too." Kyoko: "Speaking of remembering forgotten things," Kyoko: "One for Witch Girl Mirakurun!" Attendant: "I'm sorry," Kyoko: "It's like I announced I'm an otaku!" Yui: "What does that have to do with forgetting things?" Kyoko: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, do you go see movies?" Yui: "Sometimes." Chinatsu: "Would you like to go together some time?" Yui: "Sure." Chinatsu: "Hooray!" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan's so cute." Kyoko: "she'd probably look like this." Kyoko: "How does that work, anyway?" Kyoko: "Akari! That hair..." Akari: "You saw me!" Akari: "Akarin!" Kyoko: "Akari, what is this?" Yui: "Don't think about it too hard." Kyoko: "You read my mind!" Chinatsu: "This is delicious." Kyoko: "I want to eat you, Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "Just ignore her." Kyoko: "Boo." Kyoko: "Lunch went by in a flash..." Kyoko: "I forgot about my homework!" Yui: "Write it on your hand." Yui: "I started living on my own." All: "What?" Kyoko: "Chilling noodles?" Yui: "How do you get those confused?" Akari: "Will a middle school student be all right" Chinatsu: "Didn't your parents object?" Yui: "It'll be a good life experience," Yui: "They weren't for it, either." Chinatsu: "You seem so mature." Kyoko: "Living on your own..." Kyoko: "It's me." Yui: "What do you want?" Kyoko: "I came to do my homework." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "By the way, I'm hungry, so feed me." Yui: "Fine, come in." Kyoko: "Wow, compared to the exterior, it's surprisingly clean inside." Yui: "They apparently converted an" Kyoko: "Oh, right. Here's some cabbage!" Yui: "I already bought some." Kyoko: "What is this laid-back atmosphere?" Kyoko: "Games!" Kyoko: "A computer! Manga!" Kyoko: "It gets good light, too! Can I go get a pillow?" Yui: "Don't live here." Kyoko: "Then I'm hungry." Yui: "What do you mean, "then"?" Kyoko: "Hand feed me some delightful steaming rice." Yui: "What does that even mean?" Yui: "You're hopeless. If Akari and Chinatsu-chan haven't eaten yet," Kyoko: "Don't worry about that." Yui: "That's not what I'm worried about." Yui: "Yeah, Akari?" Yui: "Okay, stay there." Yui: "They're close by," Kyoko: "Okay." Akari: "An old arts center, huh?" Chinatsu: "That's pretty cool." Yui: "You think so?" Kyoko: "Coming." Kyoko: "Mountain!" Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "What do you mean, "what?" When I say "mountain," you say "river!"" Kyoko: "Let's try that again. Mountain!" Yui: "River." Akari: "Hello." Chinatsu: "Please excuse the intrusion." Kyoko: "Welcome, ladies!" Yui: "Hey, aren't we having lunch?" Yui: "You already saw this, didn't you Kyoko?" Kyoko: "Yeah, but there has to be a surprise somewhere." Yui: "What are you looking for?" Kyoko: "Why?" Kyoko: "This'll never rouse the excitement" Yui: "This isn't a variety show." Kyoko: "Then..." Kyoko: "Oh?" Kyoko: "I'm hungry!" Yui: "You do whatever you want, don't you?" Chinatsu: "Sheesh, Kyoko-senpai!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, Kyoko-chan has always been like this." Kyoko: "Food! Food!" Yui: "Shake." Kyoko: "Woof!" Kyoko: "What are you making?" Yui: "Something simple." Akari: "I want omelette rice!" Chinatsu: "Really? I'd love to try it!" Akari: "Yui-chan has been making" Chinatsu: "That's amazing!" Yui: "It's not perfect at all." Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "I want rum raisin." Yui: "You just want to eat that now" Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "That's not okay." Kyoko: "Boo." Akari: "We can have ice cream another time, okay?" Chinatsu: "I'll make some delicious pudding for dessert." Kyoko: "Pudding?" Chinatsu: "You give them an inch" Akari: "Did you say something, Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "Nothing..." Yui: "Don't make your juniors take care of you." Kyoko: "Wow! Rum raisin!" Kyoko: "Yui-sama!" Yui: "Okay, okay." Kyoko: "Thanks for the food!" Yui: "Hey! Eat your snacks after lunch!" Akari: "Yui-chan, you're just like a mother." Yui: "We're out of miso." Kyoko: "I'll go buy some!" Yui: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "She's considerate sometimes." Yui: "Get going!" Kyoko: "Okay." Akari: "Maybe Kyoko-chan's back." Yui: "Mountain." Kyoko: "Valley!" Kyoko: "River, river, river, river!" All: "Let's eat!" Akari: "Delicious!" Chinatsu: "Senpai's cooking..." Chinatsu: "I wish I could drink your miso soup every day." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, Yui will never be able to protect you!" Chinatsu: "...me. No." Kyoko: "But I bought the miso..." Akari: "Cheer up." Akari: "I don't think this is the place. Wasn't there a place selling items back there?" Kyoko: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "An album." Chinatsu: "Can I take a look?" Yui: "Sure." Kyoko: "This is from when we were little." Akari: "Oh, that's right, Yui-chan." Yui: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "Senpai, you're so cute." Yui: "Huh? Thanks." Chinatsu: "What is it?" Kyoko: "This photo..." Yui: "Kyoko, come here." Kyoko: "What, Yui-chan?" Yui: "I've always wanted to do this." Kyoko: "We shouldn't do this, Yui-chan." Yui: "It's okay. Don't be scared." Kyoko: "You said it'd be over by the time" Yui: "That didn't happen!" Kyoko: "Ow, ow, ow." Yui: "Akari, you're a childhood friend too." Yui: "Nothing like that has ever happened between us!" Akari: "Oh, right. Sorry, sorry." Chinatsu: "Um, how long have you been friends?" Chinatsu: "Did something happen?" Kyoko: "How long has it been?" Yui: "Our parents were friends," Akari: "Why do you ask?" Chinatsu: "Oh, well..." Chinatsu: "I just thought I'd like to become closer to you." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan..." Akari: "Tissues, tissues..." Yui: "She's unbelievable." Yui: "Sorry, Chinatsu-chan." Akari: "Besides, I think we're already good friends." Kyoko: "That's right!" Kyoko: "I look forward to it, China-chan." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, I don't believe we can be good friends." Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "This got dirty. Sorry." Yui: "I'll wash it for you, so take it off." Chinatsu: "What?" Yui: "I'll get you a change of clothes," Yui: "It's sticky, isn't it?" Chinatsu: "A change of clothes?" Yui: "They might not be the right size," Chinatsu: "I can wear them. I'll make them fit!" Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "Welcome, China-chan!" Yui: "What are you doing?" Chinatsu: "Okay." Kyoko: "Let me bathe with her!" Yui: "Hey! Cut it out. Huh?" Kyoko: "Took you long enough to notice, Yui-nyan." Chinatsu: "I should get going." Akari: "It's so late already." Chinatsu: "I felt so at home, I forgot what time it was." Yui: "I'm glad." Akari: "I'd like to come here again." Chinatsu: "Me, too." Yui: "Sure." Kyoko: "Come as often as you like!" Yui: "This is my apartment." Kyoko: "Oh, is it?" Akari: "Thanks for today, Yui-chan." Chinatsu: "I'll wash this and return it right away." Yui: "You can return it whenever." Both: "Okay." Akari: "We'll come meet you tomorrow morning." Kyoko: "This protagonist's an idiot!" Kyoko: "Rum raisin is delicious!" Yui: "Go home already." Kyoko: "You've been leveling up in the same place for a while." Yui: "Yeah." Kyoko: "You've gained a lot of levels." Yui: "No, but don't you want" Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "That leads to long battles," Kyoko: "But barely winning is what makes it good!" Yui: "You think so?" Yui: "Are you really going to stay here?" Kyoko: "Yeah. I'm wearing my pajamas," Kyoko: "Why don't we have a" Yui: "That might be good." Kyoko: "We can invite Ayano and Chitose." Yui: "We haven't hung out with them yet, have we?" Yui: "Can I turn out the lights?" Kyoko: "Yeah, good night!" Kyoko: "This futon smells like you." Yui: "Hey! Don't sniff it!" Kyoko: "Who cares?" Kyoko: "Smelling it made me hungry." Kyoko: "I want ramen!" Yui: "Won't you get fat?" Kyoko: "I'll be okay!" Kyoko: "Yui, aren't you going to have any?" Yui: "That's the last one." Kyoko: "Oh." Kyoko: "I see." Kyoko: "Eat half." Yui: "Huh? But you're hungry." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui." Kyoko: "Sorry for staying over." Yui: "Huh? No." Kyoko: "I see. That's good. Yui, you seem strong," Yui: "That's not true." Kyoko: "Are you sure?" Kyoko: "Would it be okay if I came again?" Yui: "You're hopeless, Kyoko." Kyoko: "Thanks." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "I forgot my homework!" Kyoko: "Help me!" Yui: "It's morning..." Yui: "Kyoko! We're going to be late!" Yui: "Hey, Kyoko! Wake up!" Yui: "Wake up!" Kyoko: "I didn't bring my uniform." Yui: "Sorry, Akari and Chinatsu-chan!" Akari: "It's okay. It's happened to me, too." Chinatsu: "I'm glad we'll be going to school together." Kyoko: "Thanks to me." Yui: "You should be feeling remorse!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, your uniform seems a little big for you." Kyoko: "Today I borrowed Yui's uniform!" Yui: "Why are you bragging?" Chinatsu: "I borrowed her clothes!" Yui: "Why are you competing with her?" Kyoko: "I even borrowed the textbooks I didn't have with me." Yui: "Shut up and hurry! Yuru Yuri's supposedly secret protagonist" Yui: "They told me to do the preview," Yui: "The next episode has tests, summer vacation," Yui: "See? Nothing out of the ordinary, right?"

Both: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Akari: "No UFOs! Camera man, is the focus okay?" Akari: "Very well! Yuru Yuri is..." Ayano: "It's finally time!" Chitose: "You're right." Ayano: "I'm not talking about lunch!" Ayano: "The tests! The final exams!" Ayano: "The deciding battle between me and Toshino Kyoko!" Chitose: "It's time for that already?" Ayano: "Why?" Chitose: "Because..." Ayano: "I lost." Kyoko: "But Ayano," Kyoko: "I don't want to fight with you." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko..." Kyoko: "From now on, let's be friends." Chitose: "That might happen, right?" Ayano: ""That might be okay..." is not what I believe at all!" Chitose: "You're lying!" Ayano: "In any case, I've got to try extra hard this time! Fight, fight, Faifai Beach!" Chitose: "The beach..." Chitose: "I'd like to go to the beach." Akari: "It's hot." Kyoko: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "You seem tired. Did you not sleep?" Yui: "This time of year's..." Yui: "Strips of paper." Chinatsu: "It's Tanabata season." Kyoko: "Hopping vampire." Yui: "Go back to your grave." Akari: "Don't leave me like that!" Chinatsu: "There's all sorts of people's wishes hanging here." Yui: ""I wish for my family to always be healthy." "I wish for peace."" Chinatsu: "They're heartwarming, aren't they?" Kyoko: "There's a lot of love wishes, too! "I'll get a boyfriend this year." "I hope my confession goes well." "I want my senpai's address."" Chinatsu: "You're right." Chinatsu: "There's some over here, too." Kyoko: "Let's see." Text: ""I wish Rika-chan and AAARGH."" Both: "What on earth is..." Yui: "Ayano and Chitose wrote ones too." Kyoko: ""I wish for us to get along better."" Chinatsu: ""An abundant harvest"?" Yui: "Why don't we write our own?" Chinatsu: "I want to write one!" Akari: "Me, too!" Kyoko: "I'll write "I want to kiss Chinatsu-chan!" We should be a lot closer now than we were when we first met." Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu..." Chinatsu: "This is an exception..." Kyoko: "That could happen!" Chinatsu: "I did it!" Yui: "Let's see." Text: ""I want to <3 kiss <3 Yui-senpai."" Yui: "A kiss would be... a little embarrassing..." Chinatsu: "I just wanted to say it." Yui: "What did you write, Kyoko?" Text: ""Lots of sleep zzz."" Yui: "You couldn't come up with anything else?" Kyoko: "There isn't anything else!" Akari: "Yui-chan, what did you write?" Yui: "I'm still thinking." Kyoko: "You should write that you want to kiss Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "Why are you acting so grumpy?" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Yes?" Yui: "It'd be embarrassing to kiss you on the lips." Yui: "Wh-why?" Kyoko: "Why don't you ask yourself?" Yui: "Akari, what did you write?" Kyoko: "Oh, yeah! Show us, show us!" Akari: "Don't look! "I wish to stand out more."" Both: "How earnest." Text: "Akarin!" Kyoko: "Let's hang them up and go." Yui: "Yeah." Akari: "I'll put my paper somewhere where at least it will stand out." Akari: "Hey, wait!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan..." Yui: "She was up late last night, too." Chinatsu: "Studying for her tests?" Yui: "No, no." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! I'll place first on these final exams." Ayano: "She's asleep!" Yui: "Final exams?" Chinatsu: "There was some sort" Ayano: "Whatever!" Ayano: "She must think she can take first place" Ayano: "I'll beat you this time!" Chinatsu: "Please excuse us." Kyoko: "Akari, you're so bumpy." Yui: "I wonder if she'll be okay." Chinatsu: "If she loses, we'll be kicked out of here, right?" Akari: "Bumpy?" Chitose: "What are you going to do?" Ayano: "About what?" Chitose: "Well, your..." Ayano: "If I win, you'll leave this room!" Chitose: "Wasn't that an excuse to talk to Toshino-san?" Chitose: "You don't actually intend to take the room away from them. I'm curious what your plan is." Ayano: "To be honest, I'm not sure what I should do." Ayano: "But..." Ayano: "I just have to win right now! It won't be too late to come up with something after I win," Chitose: "I actually like your lack of planning." Ayano: "I did it..." Ayano: "I did it! Chitose! Number one! I'm number one!" Chitose: "You're right. Congratulations, Ayano-chan!" Ayano: "What place is Toshino Kyoko?" Ayano: "Huh?" Ayano: "She's not listed!" Kyoko: "So bumpy." Chitose: "It's Toshino-san." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "What is the meaning of this?" Ayano: "Show me your answer sheet!" Ayano: "What?" Chitose: "This is amazing." Kyoko: "Huh?" Ayano: "What are these scores?" Kyoko: "The days of the tests overlapped with my doujin's deadline," Kyoko: "I slept through the exams too." Ayano: "You! What about our contest?" Kyoko: "Oh, right." Kyoko: "Who did you want to be better friends with?" Kyoko: "I saw your wish in front of the station." Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "You'll pay for this!" Kyoko: "I don't get it, but it seems we can keep using this room." Kyoko: "The beach!" Akari: "Hooray!" Yui: "Thanks for inviting us." Ayano: "The more, the merrier!" Kyoko: "Bumpy, bumpy seven!" Chitose: "My, my." Chitose: "Yes... yes... See you next week." Chitose: "Toshino-san and the others are coming." Ayano: "Who cares? I beat her on the tests. She should listen to me." Kyoko: "Ayano, let's go change!" Ayano: "Hey! Don't pull me!" Kyoko: "I'll undress you." Ayano: "Don't... Be gentle..." Chitose: "Already!" Chitose: "Thank you." Himawari: "What do you want?" Akari: "It's embarrassing, so don't look." Chinatsu: "Me, too." Ayano: "If you put on your swimsuit in advance, like me," Ayano: "Changing's not embarrassing," Yui: "Worry not Angkor Wat!" Kyoko: "I'm wearing my swimsuit, too! Tada." Ayano: "You haven't done anything stupid" Kyoko: "I'm not that stupid." Chitose: "There, there." Kyoko: "What color are you wearing today?" Ayano: "I'm not wearing anything." Chitose: "So good!" Chitose: "Please excuse me." Akari: "Let's play!" Kyoko: "Yui's surprisingly..." Ayano: "They're nothing to make light of." Yui: "What are you looking at?" Akari: "Himawari-chan, they're huge!" Himawari: "They're not..." Sakurako: "Those unforgivable breasts... Take this!" Chitose: "Don't throw starfish." Yui: "Ready?" Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai!" Kyoko: "I got it!" Chitose: "Don't catch a cold." Chitose: "The watermelon's ready." All: "Thanks for the food." Akari: "Doesn't this feel nice?" Chinatsu: "Yes, and the watermelon's delicious." Himawari: "If Sakurako weren't here," Himawari: "That's disgusting!" Ayano: "Getting together with everyone's so nice." Yui: "Why don't you come to my place some time?" Chitose: "That sounds wonderful!" Kyoko: "Yui's place is so much fun!" Yui: "Once in a while, you idiot." Akari: "I want to have a sleepover." Chinatsu: "Me, too." Yui: "Okay." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you're going too, right?" Ayano: "But..." Kyoko: "You can have this!" Ayano: "That's not what I meant!" Kyoko: "Indirect or direct. Which do you prefer?" Ayano: "Both..." Chitose: "Summer is wonderful. Thank you for all your help." Kyoko: "That was fun." Kyoko: "All right!" Akari: "I'm glad we came." Yui: "It's starting to get cold." Chinatsu: "Yes." Himawari: "What's wrong with you?" Akari: "Oh, no. I forgot my pouch." Ayano: "Well..." Ayano: "I'm wearing a yukata, so I'm safe!" Kyoko: "Wow, amazing!" Chitose: "We brought some, too." Sakurako: "Let's light them! Come on!" Kyoko: "Ayano, come on." Ayano: "Huh?" Ayano: "Okay..." Kyoko: "What's wrong?" Ayano: "Well, um..." Ayano: "Your yukata... looks... looks..." Kyoko: "Don't worry!" Ayano: "Huh? Of course I do! I'm the student council vice president!" Kyoko: "Is that relevant?" Yui: "It's been a while since I've lit fireworks." Chinatsu: "They're beautiful, aren't they?" Kyoko: "Look, look." Kyoko: "A heart!" Ayano: "Mine's more impressive!" Kyoko: "Wow, a star!" Chitose: "This is fantastic! Toshino-san is on the offensive." Himawari: "Mine's longer." Sakurako: "No, mine is!" Chitose: "Ayano-chan, Ayano-chan." Ayano: "What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "Hmm? What? What?" Yui: "I thought I saw some writing." Chitose: "It's nothing." Chitose: "Behind you, behind you." Himawari: "Mine's longer." Sakurako: "No, mine is!" Kyoko: "Ta-da! Look, look." Chitose: "It's huge." Kyoko: "Light it!" Ayano: "What? That's impossible! I'm too scared." Kyoko: "It's okay! I'm here for you!" Ayano: "I can't. It's scary." Kyoko: "It's okay. I'm here for you." Kyoko: "Run!" Kyoko: "That's it? Okay! One more time!" Ayano: "What? You're too forceful." Kyoko: "Ayano, one more time." Ayano: "You're so persistent." Chitose: "It's okay. If anything, I feel good." Kyoko: "That was a lot of fun. I'm satisfied." Yui: "Thanks for inviting us." Chitose: "Of course. We had a lot of fun, too." Kyoko: "I'll go throw this out!" Ayano: "Chitose," Ayano: "thanks for... um, today." Ayano: "You're always helping me." Chitose: "What's gotten into you, Ayano-chan?" Ayano: "I had a lot of fun, thanks to you." Chitose: "No problem. Did your wish come true?" Ayano: "Yeah..." Kyoko: "I threw it away!" Yui: "Kyoko, it's dangerous to run." Kyoko: "Sorry. Are you okay? Huh? Ayano," Ayano: "Chitose!" Ayano: "Keep it together, Chitose!" Kyoko: "This doesn't look good." Chitose: "God, even if my nose won't bleed any more," Yui: "Don't do that!" Akari: "It's late, but..." Akari: "I never thought this would make it to the ocean." Akari: "I hope my wish comes true." Akari: "Again! Hey, wait!" Chinatsu: "I'm the late arriving protagonist Yoshikawa Chinatsu." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai's swimsuit and yukata... delicious. But summer's just getting started." Chinatsu: "Please be gentle."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Yuru Yuri's starting." Akari: "Nothing's happening this time?" Yui: "Akari... How pitiful..." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! What's gotten into you?" Kyoko: "Ayano, come to the train station tonight." Ayano: "Hold on, Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano: "Walking around this late at night must be indirect training!" Kyoko: "There she is. Ayano!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! Huh?" Ayano: "You're early. You're already here." Chitose: "Ayano-chan." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Let's go." Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "We're here!" Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "Coming here always makes me appreciate the difference in summer and winter." Ayano: "Just when are you going to explain this to me? What on Earth am I doing here?" Kyoko: "You're here to find that out!" Yui: "I don't think she was hoping for a philosophical answer." Kyoko: "Do I have to tell you?" Ayano: "I'm so happy." Chitose: "What a wonderful morning." Yui: "This is the Comic Extreme Market," Yui: "also known as Comuket." Ayano: "Doujinshi market?" Yui: "Yeah." Kyoko: "It'd be a lot of work with just me and Yui," Ayano: "Tell us that beforehand!" Kyoko: "Surprise Comuket!" Ayano: "I don't want a surprise! No way Niagara!" Ayano: "Why me, anyway?" Kyoko: "Comuket's a harsh place." Ayano: "And you don't mind if it's me?" Kyoko: "I wanted to bring Chinatsu-chan" Yui: "She looks like she's actually going to cry." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, cheer up." Yui: "I'm really sorry." Kyoko: "Let's go to the circle entrance. Without these circle tickets," Yui: "Let's go." Chitose: "Toshino-san, see you later." Kyoko: "Huh?" Mirakurun: "Stop, Rivalun!" Rivalun: "Shut up, Mirakurun!" Ganbo: "That's right, bo!" Rivalun: "Yes, Ganbo-sama!" Mirakurun: "Rivalun!" Ganbo: "Bo!" Both: "He's got bones!" Ayano: "Did Toshino Kyoko really write this?" Yui: "Yeah. I can't believe you didn't know." Ayano: "We don't share our hobbies with each other..." Chitose: "That's great." Ayano: "I don't care about that!" Kyoko: "I finally got in." Kyoko: "I'm the circle leader!" Yui: "It's your fault you forgot" Kyoko: "Is my book selling?" Ayano: "Hmph! Unfortunately, you've only sold ten so far." Kyoko: "Ten!" Kyoko: "Hooray!" Kyoko: "Ayano, did you read it?" Ayano: "No! I'm not interested in doujinshi." Kyoko: "Are you sure you're not interested?" Ayano: "Show me gently." Chitose: "No! If I have a nosebleed here, I'll ruin the books!" Yui: "I'll take Chitose to the bathroom." Kyoko: "That's perfect." All: "What?" Kyoko: "Witch of love and justice, Mirakurun, has arrived!" Kyoko: "Well? The costumes look pretty authentic, right?" Chitose: "Ganbo!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! What is this?" Kyoko: "Ganbo, Rivalun, pre-transformation Rivalun," Kyoko: "Since Chinatsu-chan's not here," Yui: "Sorry, but you should give up." Chitose: "Toshino-san is amazing, isn't she?" Yui: "Kyoko's surprisingly talented." Ayano: "Why can't she apply herself towards something useful?" Kyoko: "Okay, let's sell some books!" Kyoko: "You can take a break." Chitose: "This is my first time coming to a place like this. There's a surprisingly large number of girls here." Yui: "Yeah, you're right." Girl: "It's Ganbo and Rivalun!" Girl: "Look, Mom, it's Rivalun!" Chitose: "They're calling you, Rivalun." Yui: "Uh, hey..." Girl: "Mom, Rivalun waved at me!" Mother: "That's great." Girl: "You can do it, Rivalun!" Chitose: "You're quite popular, Funami-san." Yui: "It's not me..." Chitose: "Let me see." Kyoko: "Ayano Onee-sama!" Ayano: "You cute little kitten..." Kyoko: "Become my very own idol." Ayano: "Please give me my night lesson." Yui: "Chitose! Keep it together!" Chitose: "This must be paradise..." Yui: "Chitose!" Kyoko: "Ayano, are you sure you don't want to look around?" Ayano: "It's too embarrassing to walk around looking like this." Kyoko: "Really? But you're so cute." Chitose: "I feel a special moment coming on!" Ayano: "Hey..." Ayano: "Is writing doujinshi..." Girl: "Excuse me." Girl: "Could I get a copy of your newest book?" Kyoko: "That'll be 500 yen." Girl: "Okay." Girl: "Um, are you Nishikyogoku Ramuko-san?" Ayano: "Ramuko?" Kyoko: "Yes, I am." Ayano: "What?" Girl: "Ramuko-san, I've bought all your books!" Kyoko: "Really? I'm happy to hear that." Girl: "Your story about Mirakurun and Rivalun" Girl: "It was like that story really happened" Kyoko: "I drew episode 18 in one sitting!" Kyoko: "Good work, everyone." Yui: "Yeah, overworked." Chitose: "Sorry for causing you trouble, Funami-san." Ayano: "I don't believe you." Kyoko: "Ayano, here." Ayano: "Huh?" Kyoko: "To thank you for today." Ayano: "That's for me?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Ayano: "Thanks... Well, it's not like I didn't have any fun. I suppose I can accompany" Kyoko: "Carry these, everyone." Ayano: "What is this?" Kyoko: "The day's plunder of Mirakurun books!" Chitose: "You bought quite a lot." Yui: "Just have this stuff delivered." Kyoko: "No! I'm going to read them as soon as I get home!" Kyoko: "So... thanks, everyone!" Ayano: "I'll never... I'll never come with you again!" Sakurako: "Hey, tell me the answer to this one." Himawari: "No." Sakurako: "You cheapskate." Himawari: "I'll tear that mouth off." Himawari: "I'm here because you said you" Sakurako: "What homework do you have left?" Himawari: "A book report." Sakurako: "That's why you've been reading that book." Sakurako: "When you're done, tell me what it's about." Himawari: "Go die." Sakurako: "Don't say it like that." Himawari: "Shut up and do your homework." Sakurako: "I don't want to think any more." Himawari: "Wh... Sakurako!" Sakurako: "Tell me the answer." Himawari: "What are you going to do to her?" Sakurako: "I'll squish her cheeks!" Kaede: "Himawari." Kaede: "Please forgive Sakurako." Kaede: "Sakurako is probably just tired." Kaede: "I just have to put up with this," Kaede: "So it's okay." Sakurako: "I'm sorry." Sakurako: "When's the next student council election?" Himawari: "Another non sequitur." Himawari: "Let's see..." Sakurako: "I see." Himawari: "Hey! I can't pretend I didn't hear that!" Sakurako: "Unlike you, I've got a lot of friends." Himawari: "Unlike you, I have good grades! Perhaps it's a little late to ask," Sakurako: "Because you said you were joining the student council." Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "You on the student council without me" Sakurako: "Besides the student council's pretty cool, don't you think? We work hard for the school behind the scenes! We're just like Akari-chan who changes" Himawari: "You think that's cool?" Sakurako: "Akari-chan's actually amazing! I scraped my leg!" Akari: "Have a band-aid!" Sakurako: "My button came off!" Akari: "I'll sew it on!" Sakurako: "I forgot my chopsticks!" Akari: "I have some!" Sakurako: "See?" Himawari: "You rely on Akaza-san too much." Sakurako: "I'm sure she secretly fights evil in the name of justice!" Akari: "Champion of justice, Akarin, has arrived!" Chinatsu: "There you are, Akarin." Chinatsu: "I'll steal the title of protagonist from you, once and for all!" Akari: "I won't let you do that!" Chinatsu: "They seem still to me!" Akari: "Give me back my buns. Without them, I'll lose my only unique feature." Chinatsu: "Look at you, Akarin!" Chinatsu: "Deadly magic Skeleton!" Akari: "I'm invisible and I lost my buns." Chinatsu: "Now that you've turned into air," Akari: "I won't let you do that!" Akari: "Super deadly Akarin attack! Even if I'm just air," Chinatsu: "I'm telling Yui-senpai on you!" Sakurako: "And that's how she defended peace and her face time today." Sakurako: "Go! You can do it, Akarin!" Himawari: "I do not understand." Sakurako: "Her buns turned invisible after she got them back." Himawari: "I suppose you're right." Sakurako: "Then show me your homework!" Himawari: "Die." Himawari: "That was touching." Sakurako: "Gross." Sakurako: "Are you going to write your report?" Himawari: "Yes." Sakurako: "All right, then I'll write mine, too." Himawari: "What? You didn't read anything." Akari: "My nose is itchy." Akari: "I bet someone's talking about me a lot." Chinatsu: "You don't need to joke about it." Chinatsu: "Here." Akari: "What is this?" Chinatsu: "Answer all the questions!" Akari: "What? We may be friends," Akari: "Her birthday, her blood type... huh?" Chinatsu: "I want to know everything about her!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan..." Akari: "You really like Yui-chan, don't you?" Chinatsu: "Yes. I love her." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan's so thoughtful to want" Chinatsu: "I want to become closer to Yui-senpai." Akari: "Okay. I'll do whatever I can." Chinatsu: "Then who do you think Yui-senpai likes?" Akari: "Her closest friend is..." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, I think." Chinatsu: "You're kidding!" Akari: "Probably." Chinatsu: "That's not fair, Kyouko-senpai." Chinatsu: "I wanted to get closer to Yui-senpai during summer vacation," Chinatsu: "What am I doing here with Akari-chan?" Akari: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "The witching hour..." Akari: "That's weird." Chinatsu: "Does Yui-senpai think nothing of me?" Akari: "No, I'm sure that's not true." Chinatsu: "You think so?" Akari: "Yeah! What do you want to do when you become close to her?" Chinatsu: "Huh?" Akari: "Kiss?" Akari: "You're going to kiss her?" Chinatsu: "Huh? Isn't that normal?" Akari: "Is it? I had no idea." Akari: "Is it normal for friends to kiss these days?" Akari: "Do Kyoko-chan and Yui-chan kiss?" Chinatsu: "I'd like to do this and that with her, too." Akari: "Isn't it embarrassing?" Chinatsu: "Huh? I guess I'd be a little nervous." Chinatsu: "Hey, Akari-chan." Akari: "What?" Chinatsu: "Let's kiss..." Akari: "What?" Chinatsu: "I'd be nervous if I were suddenly put on the spot," Chinatsu: "Didn't you say you'd do anything?" Akari: "I did, but..." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan..." Akari: "I can't do it!" Chinatsu: "Why are you running?" Akari: "Help! Someone help!" Chinatsu: "It's pointless, Akari-chan." Akari: "Someone help me! No!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're kidding, right?" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, I caught you." Akari: "You've got a guest." Chinatsu: "It's probably a door to door salesman." Akari: "Maybe your mother's home." Chinatsu: "She won't be home for another hour." Chinatsu: "It's okay, Akari-chan." Akari: "No!" Yui: "Huh? It's unlocked." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, Kyoko-senpai, what are you doing here?" Kyoko: "We brought you something from Tokyo..." Yui: "It looks like you're in the middle of something..." Chinatsu: "No!" Kyoko: "Take your time." Yui: "Sorry. I'm really sorry." Chinatsu: "You've got it all wrong!" Chinatsu: "You've got the wrong idea, senpai!" Ayano: "I'm supposed to follow this script, right? Uh," Ayano: "If you don't watch the next episode, I'll be mad mad Madrid. This must be Toshino Kyoko's work again!"

All: "Akarin!" Kyoko: "Hey!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan! Sheesh! Don't take my only job!" Kyoko: "Sorry, sorry." Akari: "A performance?" Chinatsu: "Why a performance?" Yui: "What are you going to do?" Kyoko: "Just watch." Yui: "What's with the face?" Chinatsu: "Amazing! I want to do it, too!" Akari: "Me, too!" Yui: "Huh?" Kyoko: "It's easy." Chinatsu: "I did it! It really is easy!" Akari: "I messed up!" Kyoko: "It's because you're not imagining it first." Chinatsu: "It's okay. It suits you." Akari: "I'll become prettier than both of you!" Kyoko: "I'd like to see you try, Akari!" Chinatsu: "Just try it!" Akari: "You too, Chinatsu?" Kyoko: "Not bad, Yui." Chinatsu: "You look wonderful, senpai." Akari: "Yui-chan, you're so cute." Kyoko: "Our burning hot summer just ended, and it's already fall." Chitose: "Toshino-san, Toshino-san!" Chitose: "A first year's calling you." Kyoko: "What? A first year, you say?" Kyoko: "Oh! I've been looking for this." Hiro: "Uh, um..." Hiro: "Excuse me, but there's something I'd like to ask you." Hiro: "How did you become so good at drawing?" Kyoko: "How?" Hiro: "Um, what do you do to practice?" Kyoko: "There's just one important thing." Hiro: "Just one? Wh-what is it?" Kyoko: "It's heart!" Hiro: "You said there's one, but there's three?" Kyoko: "And heart!" Hiro: "You said heart twice?" Kyoko: "Got it?" Hiro: "Sure." Kyoko: "Well, the most important thing is the feeling of enjoyment." Hiro: "Huh? There's more than three things?" Kyoko: "Also... Ouch." Yui: "You're the class officer today." Kyoko: "Is that right?" Yui: "Come on." Kyoko: "I got it. Sorry, first year. Talk to you soon." Hiro: "Thank you very much." Yui: "I don't believe you." Kyoko: "Yes... Yes, yes, yes!" Kyoko: "I wonder if Yui noticed the letter." Kyoko: "This is so embarrassing." Kyoko: "But..." Kyoko: "I want her to know how I feel." Kyoko: "This feeling..." Yui: "Kyoko!" Yui: "Oh, good. Thanks for waiting." Kyoko: "Yui!" Yui: "This..." Yui: "I just read it." Kyoko: "I love you, Yui. Thanks for being my friend up until now" Yui: "Thanks, Kyoko." Yui: "I love you, too." Kyoko: "Yui." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan?" Chinatsu: "I'm sorry." Yui: "No, it's fine, Chinatsu-chan." Kyoko: "I was inspired by the first year yesterday. I guess you could say she set my artist's soul on fire." Kyoko: "Do you know what this story means?" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "If you don't know, I'll tell you!" Kyoko: "Yui is head over heels for me!" Kyoko: "In other words, Yui will never be yours, Chinatsu-chan!" Yui: "That doesn't make any sense." Chinatsu: "I cannot accept this!" Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "Instead of Yui, you can have me!" Chinatsu: "I don't need you!" Yui: "Calm down, both of you!" Kyoko: "This story is a symbol of Yui's and my love!" Chinatsu: "This story... This..." Chinatsu: "This story... This thing..." Kyoko: "By the way, that's a copy. This is the original." Chinatsu: "Wait! Stop!" Chinatsu: "I'll create an even more wonderful story! I'll make you admit defeat, Kyoko-senpai!" Kyoko: "Bring it on, Chinatsu-chan." Yui: "How did this happen?" Chinatsu: "So, I made this!" Kyoko: "Unstoppable Love Paradox?" Chinatsu: "Thinking about Yui-senpai made me draw excellently. It came out well since I was thinking about Yui-sempai while drawing." Chinatsu: "Let's begin. As usual, the prince rode through fields" Chinatsu: "Suddenly, she realized she had ridden farther than usual. As she gazed upon the unfamiliar landscape," Chinatsu: "Quite unlike gorgeous noble women seen in castles," Chinatsu: "What's wrong with you?" Kyoko: "It's nothing!" Kyoko: "Why?" Yui: "I never thought a bomb like this" Yui: "The shock knocked Akari out." Kyoko: "She hasn't even said anything today." Chinatsu: "However, the girl's smile was more beautiful than any jewel." Kyoko: "She's started again." Yui: "This is scary." Chinatsu: "As though struck by lightning," Chinatsu: "When she came to, she was standing before the girl." Chinatsu: "Their eyes met, and in that moment... Her heart leapt, her chest pounded," Chinatsu: "In an instant, the two fell in love eternal!" Yui: "That was great!" Chinatsu: "Chinatsu-chan, you're amazing!" Chinatsu: "What? Um, this is still just the first half." Kyoko: "Right? It was great, right? Akari, Akari!" Akari: "Uh, yeah." Chinatsu: "I'll keep reading, then." Chinatsu: "Uh, senpai?" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, thanks for the wonderful story." Yui: "I'm delighted." Chinatsu: "I'm happy too, senpai." Chinatsu: "Senpai, what did you think?" Yui: "Uh, yeah." Chinatsu: "Really?" Chinatsu: "I'm good at this sort of thing." Yui: "Really? That's amazing." Kyoko: "Yui's trying hard." Chinatsu: "I didn't think you'd enjoy it this much." Chinatsu: "I'll read it with even more feeling!" Kyoko: "Let's mold clay!" All: "Clay?" Kyoko: "I found some when I was cleaning my room." Yui: "What were you expecting?" Chinatsu: "But I was going to read the rest of my story." Yui: "I want to mold clay." Yui: "I really want to mold clay. Clay, clay, cla-cla-clay." Chinatsu: "Senpai..." Yui: "Clay, clay." Chinatsu: "If you say so, senpai." Akari: "Hey, is that paper clay?" Kyoko: "It's oil clay." Chinatsu: "Doesn't oil clay smell bad?" Kyoko: "It stinks, but it doesn't get hard," Kyoko: "Art, round two!" Chinatsu: "We can look forward to the rest of the story tomorrow." Chinatsu: "I've missed this feeling." Yui: "I used to love this." Akari: "Hooray." Akari: "Look, a rabbit." Kyoko: "Wow, everything you do is so plain, Akari." Akari: "You don't need to praise me." Kyoko: "What should I make?" Akari: "A giraffe!" Kyoko: "All right!" Kyoko: "Done!" Akari: "The neck!" Kyoko: "Akari." Akari: "A severed head?" Kyoko: "Snot." Kyoko: "Drool." Kyoko: "Bun bazooka." Akari: "Stop making fun of me." Kyoko: "Sorry, sorry. I'll make something else." Akari: "My head!" Kyoko: "Yui's making... Oh, gyoza." Chinatsu: "How cute. It's great!" Akari: "What should I make next?" Chinatsu: "How about a cat?" Akari: "Oh, I'll do that." Kyoko: "Oil clay's squishy so it doesn't stand up." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, amazing!" Chinatsu: "Is that Mirakurun?" Yui: "How skillful." Kyoko: "No, it may look like Mirakurun," Kyoko: "Leg spread!" Chinatsu: "Don't do that!" Chinatsu: "Senpai, you're the only one I'll show my leg spread to!" Yui: "You don't need to show me!" Kyoko: "More gyoza." Akari: "I'm going to the bathroom." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, your cat's cute!" Akari: "I'm pretty proud of it." Yui: "By the way, did you hear" Kyoko: "Of course not!" Yui: "Of course not, huh?" Chinatsu: "Where are you going?" Yui: "Kyoto and Osaka." Chinatsu: "I see." Chinatsu: "Lucky. I wish I could go with Yui-senpai." Kyoko: "We're in the same group." Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "Who knows?" Chinatsu: "What does that mean?" Yui: "Nothing." Kyoko: "Don't you want the four of us to take a trip together?" Yui: "Yeah. What do you think of hot springs?" Chinatsu: "Bathing with senpai!" Yui: "Is there somewhere we can go by ourselves?" Kyoko: "There must be! I'll look it up." Akari: "I'm back." Kyoko: "Welcome back." Akari: "What are you talking about?" Yui: "We're talking about taking a trip." Akari: "A trip?" Yui: "We're thinking about going to the hot springs together." Akari: "That sounds fun." Akari: "Who did this?" Yui: "It could only be Kyoko." Kyoko: "I thought it'd be cute." Kyoko: "Tada!" Kyoko: "I made other legs." Akari: "Scary!" Akari: "But I was so proud of it." Kyoko: "Sorry." Chinatsu: "Cut it out!" Kyoko: "Akari, what do you want us to bring back from our field trip?" Akari: "Huh? You'll buy me something?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Akari: "I'd be happy with anything." Kyoko: "Kyoto and Osaka." Kyoko: "She's making yatsuhashi." Yui: "What else is commonly brought back from Kyoto beside yatsuhashi?" Kyoko: "A wooden sword?" Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, would you like a wooden sword?" Chinatsu: "Yes, I'd really like one right about now." Chinatsu: "What's wrong?" Akari: "That was shocking." Yui: "Why would they?" Kyoko: "Not bad, if I do say so myself." Chinatsu: "Just squash it already." Kyoko: "All right! Let's put it in the club room!" Chinatsu: "Don't do that!" Kyoko: "Then I'll put it in my house!" Chinatsu: "I'm asking you not to do that!" Kyoko: "Then in Yui's house." Yui: "What?" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "It'll keep Yui company on those lonely nights." Yui: "Hey." Chinatsu: "That's... But for senpai..." Kyoko: "Hey, can we go to your house tomorrow, Yui?" Kyoko: "I want to make sure Chinatsu-chan's there." Chinatsu: "You do have it, don't you?" Yui: "Sure, I guess." Yui: "My relative's kid is coming tomorrow." Kyoko: "Your relative's kid?" Yui: "I've got to play with her." Akari: "Are you sure? I love children." Chinatsu: "I like children, too!" Kyoko: "It's decided, then!" Akari: "She's so cute." Kyoko: "She's got the thing I made." Chinatsu: "She's a lot like Yui-senpai." Akari: "Mari-chan, can you say hello?" Mari: "Hello." Mari: "Onee-chan." Mari: "Listen..." Yui: "Kyoko, Akari." Yui: "She's surprised to see the real Mirakurun here." Kyoko: "Oh, right. Chinatsu-chan looks just like her." Kyoko: "All right!" Kyoko: "Hold on." Chinatsu: "Senpai?" Kyoko: "Tada!" Kyoko: "It's Mirakurun!" Kyoko: "I thought we might need this again." Yui: "What were you expecting to happen?" Mari: "Really? Are you really Mirakurun?" Kyoko: "Come on. Like I just showed you." Chinatsu: "Oh, right." Chinatsu: "Witch of love and justice, Mirakurun, mad deprived!" Akari: "Something's not right." Kyoko: "I thought it'd be funny, so I mixed in some lies." Mari: "Mirakurun! Do magic!" Chinatsu: "Magic?" Chinatsu: "I can't use magic!" Kyoko: "Keep it up!" Chinatsu: "Do something!" Mari: "Hurry, hurry." Chinatsu: "Okay! Time for some magic!" Chinatsu: "Mirakurun Rainbow..." Chinatsu: "My wand broke!" All: "Scary!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you have to be gentler." Chinatsu: "What do you want me to..." Akari: "Mari-chan! Mirakurun said she'll go on a walk with you!" Akari: "Why don't you go with her?" Mari: "Okay." Girl A: "What is that?" Girl B: "Cosplay?" Girl C: "Isn't it that thing? You know, from the anime..." Chinatsu: "Everyone's looking at me." Chinatsu: "This is embarrassing." Mari: "I'm happy I get to walk with Mirakurun." Chinatsu: "Huh? Really?" Mari: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "Mari-chan, I'm glad you're happy. But I'd like to stop now." Chinatsu: "Wait a minute." Yui: "It's wonderful that you know how to look after children." Chinatsu: "I've got to do this." Mari: "Mirakurun, your face is scary." Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "Close one." Chinatsu: "What's wrong?" Mari: "This..." Chinatsu: "You want it?" Mari: "Replacement." Chinatsu: "Mari-chan." Chinatsu: "Thank you. Now I can use magic again." Mari: "Really?" Chinatsu: "Yes." Chinatsu: "Let's buy snacks for everyone else." Mari: "Okay!" Chinatsu: "We're back." Kaari: "Welcome back. How was it?" Mari: "It was fun." Chinatsu: "Mirakurun had fun, too." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, you're good with kids." Akari: "Mari-chan, where are you going?" Mari: "The bathroom." Akari: "Good work." Kyoko: "You're amazing. You've become Mirakurun. I thought you'd give up part way." Chinatsu: "Of course I did it! I can do anything if I try!" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're admirable." Chinatsu: "But I'm exhausted." Kyoko: "There, there." Chinatsu: "Thanks." Chinatsu: "So cold." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you must be tired." Chinatsu: "Of course I am." Chinatsu: "Who would want to wear this?" Chinatsu: "Mari-chan!" Mari: "Onee-chan, life is sour." Mari: "I had a feeling she was a fake." Yui: "What happened?" Akari: "Hey, everyone. I made a story, too." Kyoko: "This late?" Akari: "I tried really hard." Chinatsu: "What did you draw?" Yui: "Let's hear it." Kyoko: "Come on, hurry." Akari: "Um, okay! My special story's beginning!" Akari: "The pages are in the wrong order!" Akari: "I'll rearrange them, so hold on! W- what? Where's the first one!?" All: "What a sad girl." Chitose: "People call me the bright red protagonist, Ikeda Chitose. I wonder why they call me "bright red." The next episode's a Christmas bghhh..." Chitose: "I wonder if I'll have enough blood for the next episode."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Yuru-" Akari: "Ow. Sorry about that." Akari: "Are you okay, camera man?" Akari: "Yu-Yuru Yu..." Kyoko: "Merry Christmas!" Kyoko: "Kyoko-chan, Christmas is next week." Chinatsu: "Yes, yes." Kyoko: "Yeah, I know." Kyoko: "Even I'm not that out of it." Yui: "No, it's pretty clear you're out of it." Kyoko: "Next week's winter break starts with Christmas," Akari: "I wish I could go on a Christmas date." Chinatsu: "Someday I'll go on a Christmas date." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "So on Christmas Day, let's pretend to be couples! We'll pair up and go on dates." Ayano: "Why do we have to participate in that?" Chitose: "Why not?" Chitose: "You might get to be a couple with Toshino-san." Sakurako: "I agree." Himawari: "I hope that doesn't happen either. I would have much more fun" Sakurako: "Then I'll spend my Christmas with Akari-chan!" Kyoko: "We'll have a couple lottery." Kyoko: "Here's the lottery box!" Yui: "You still had that box..." Kyoko: "I put pieces of paper with numbers in there. You'll be a couple with the person who has the same number as you." Kyoko: "It's time to get the lottery started." Kyoko: "I won't let you have Chinatsu-chan!" Chinatsu: "What are you talking about?" Kyoko: "Did everyone draw one?" Kyoko: "Come on Chinatsu-chan, come on Chinatsu-chan, come on Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "I hope I become a couple with Yui-senpai." Sakurako: "Anyone but Himawari, anyone but Himawari." Himawari: "Anyone but Sakurako, anyone but Sakurako." Ayano: "Well, I guess I don't have a choice if I get Toshino Kyoko." Chitose: "I hope Ayano-chan and Toshino-san become a couple." Yui: "It's really intense in here." Akari: "What am I going to do if I'm the only one without a number?" Kyoko: "Okay! One, two..." Yui: "What are we supposed to do?" Ayano: "I don't know." Yui: "Was there someone you wanted to be a couple with?" Ayano: "No, no. Not at all." Both: "Awkward. Awkward." Kyoko: "We'll start today's date with... Ta-da! This!" Chinatsu: "I'm already upset that I got paired with Kyoko-senpai," Chinatsu: "Mad deprived!" Chinatsu: "You haven't made a good impression." Kyoko: "Since I'm on a date with you, we've got to do this!" Kyoko: "Mirakurun's going to watch Mirakurun." Chinatsu: "Didn't you say you already watched this?" Kyoko: "I can watch good stuff again and again! I bought tickets in advance, so we can go directly to the theater." Kyoko: "Whoosh!" Kyoko: "Hurry, hurry." Chinatsu: "I wanted to be on a date with Yui-senpai." Akari: "I'm sorry you're stuck with me." Chitose: "You can talk like you always do." Akari: "Oh, okay." Chitose: "I actually wanted to talk to you." Chitose: "You can have this." Chitose: "You gave me tissues before, remember?" Akari: "Go ahead." Chitose: "Thank you." Chitose: "It's for that. Thank you." Akari: "Thank you." Chitose: "Akaza-san, you're so kind." Akari: "It was no trouble." Himawari: "Did you decide yet?" Sakurako: "I wanted to be with Akari-chan." Himawari: "And I would have preferred Yoshikawa-san. I can't believe I have to do this with you." Sakurako: "This is the worst case scenario. My Christmas is ruined!" Himawari: "I know exactly how you feel." Himawari: "Jeez. Let's just order." Sakurako: "Wait!" Sakurako: "I haven't decided yet." Sakurako: "Oh, they've got a new pasta!" Sakurako: "What are you having, Himawari?" Himawari: "The Japanese style style salisbury steak set" Sakurako: "That looks good." Himwari: "Why don't you order that, then?" Sakurako: "No way! I don't want the same thing as you." Himwari: "I see. Make up your mind, then." Sakurako: "Just wait!" Ayano: "I wonder what the others are doing," Yui: "I can't imagine what they're up to." Yui: "How are we supposed to pretend to be couples?" Ayano: "Should we hold hands?" Yui: "No, that'd be embarrassing." Ayano: "You're right." Both: "What is this feeling?" Mirakurun: "Raika-chan, are you my rival?" Raiko: "Don't look so betrayed. No one made you trust me." Mirakurun: "Unbelievable! Are you saying that, when you tutored me" Raiko: "You're so trusting. Getting close to you was easy." Mirakurun: "I don't believe it! When you picked up my eraser for me" Raiko: "You're so trusting." Mirakurun: "Impossible! When you bought yakisoba, bread, and juice" Raiko: "Am I the nice one here?" Mirakurun: "Let's go, Raika-chan! If we work together, we can defeat anyone!" Raiko: "I suppose I must. After all, I'm so nice." Kyoko: "Way to be nice." Chinatsu: "Go, Mirakurun!" Akari: "Um, can I open this?" Chitose: "Yes, go ahead." Akari: "This is is pickled radish." Chitose: "I pickled it with all my heart." Akari: "It looks delicious." Chitose: "Really? I'm glad you think so." Akari: "She's kind of cute, like an old lady. Senpai, when we're done with coffee," Chitose: "That sounds good." Sakurako: "This doesn't feel like Christmas at all." Himawari: "Do you want some cake, then?" Himawari: "Because of the Christmas Fest, there are Santa Clauses everywhere." Sakurako: "What? Let me see that!" Sakurako: "There's a reindeer version, too!" Sakurako: "No, no. That's not what I meant!" Himawari: "What, then?" Sakurako: "You know... We're missing that fresh excitement." Himawari: "Excitement, huh?" Himawari: "I need some dressing." Himawari: "Maybe I'll have the Japanese style instead." Sakurako: "No breasts!" Himawari: "What are you doing?" Sakurako: "I'm in a terrible mood!" Himawari: "I do not understand." Woman: "I'm so happy, Toru-san." Man: "I love you, Noriko." Woman: "Oh, Kazu-chan." Ayano: "What should we do Timbuktu?" Both: "What should we do?" Kyoko: "Isn't Mirakurun great?" Chinatsu: "I suppose." Kyoko: "All right! Let's go to the arcade next! Here we go!" Chinatsu: "Wait! Don't people usually take a break at a coffee shop now?" Chinatsu: "How cute." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, what are you doing?" Chinatsu: "Okay." Chinatsu: "She dragged me here and abandoned me." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan!" Kyoko: "Tada!" Chinatsu: "Senpai, that..." Kyoko: "Didn't you want this?" Kyoko: "Here, it's a present." Kyoko: "I'm really good at crane games!" Chinatsu: "Thank you!" Chinatsu: "It's so cute." Kyoko: "Let's go to the next place." Chinatsu: "What? Again?" Kyoko: "I'm just getting started." Chinatsu: "Sheesh." Chinatsu: "What's wrong?" Kyoko: "Can I hold your hand?" Chinatsu: "Just for today." Kyoko: "Hooray!" Akari: "You're right." Chitose: "Don't they?" Chitose: "Let me see." Chitose: "That's delicious." Akari: "I'm glad you like it." Chitose: "I do." Chitose: "That hit the spot." Akari: "Actually, Yui-chan showed me this place." Chitose: "Oh, Funami-san did?" Akari: "I wonder how everyone's dates are going." Chitose: "Ayano-chan must be disappointed" Chitose: "Actually..." Ayano: "You're always with Kyoko, so you smell like her." Yui: "Ayano..." Ayano: "Let me smell you more." Yui: "Okay." Chitose: "That could work." Akari: "Are you okay?" Chitose: "Thank you." Chitose: "I'll have to thank you again." Akari: "It's all right." Akari: "Why don't you take this?" Akari: "I've got another one." Chitose: "You're always prepared, aren't you?" Akari: "Not at all." Sakurako: "Your breasts have ruined my Christmas." Himawari: "I still have no idea what you're talking about." Sakurako: "I don't like carrots. Eat them." Himawari: "What? You're so hopeless." Himawari: "You have to learn to eat them." Sakurako: "But..." Himawari: "Sakurako, bell peppers." Sakurako: "What? Oh, fine." Sakurako: "One more." Himawari: "Okay, okay." Himawari: "Eat this." Customer A: "Look at those girls." Customer B: "How cute. They're feeding each other." Himawari: "Sakurako, you idiot!" Sakurako: "Why'd you do that?" Yui: "Kyoko's always coming up with nonsense for us to do." Ayano: "Is Toshino Kyoko difficult to deal with?" Yui: "She's a handful. I bet she's fun to watch from a distance." Yui: "As her childhood friend, I'm stuck right next to her." Ayano: "I think I understand. Chitose's always fantasizing about something," Yui: "Well, at least it's not boring." Ayano: "You're right." Yui: "Yeah." Ayano: "Exactly." Yui: "Yup." Yui: "Everyone will be coming back soon." Ayano: "We just kind of sat here." Yui: "Nothing wrong with that." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui!" Chitose: "Ayano-chan." Chitose: "We're back." Ayano: "For some reason, seeing Chitose makes me feel relieved." Yui: "Yeah, I know what you mean." Ayano: "We need those girls, don't we?" Yui: "Yeah." Chitose: "What are you talking about?" Ayano: "It's a secret!" Chitose: "What? Now I'm curious." Yui: "Kyoko." Yui: "Thanks for everything." Yui: "I don't have one." Akari: "That is how our wonderful Christmas ended." Akari: "Happy new year." Lady A: "Happy new year. You're such a good girl, Akari-chan. Here you go." Lady B: "Take this, too." Akari: "No, I couldn't." Lady A: "It's all right." Lady B: "Come on." Akari: "Thank you!" Akari: "Mom, look at all the New Year money I got!" Akari: "Is it right for me to be so happy?" Mom: "Oh, really?" Mom: "Did you thank them?" Akari: "You're right. Please do!" Mom: "You're talking funny." Akari: "Where's onee-chan?" Mom: "She's going to the shrine with her friends." Dad: "Akari, help me serve the osechi." Akari: "Okay, Dad." Akari: "Everyone's New Year's greeting cards are so cute." Akari: "This one's from Chinatsu-chan." Card: "It's a rabbit!" Sister: "Chinatsu, I'm going out." Chinatsu: "Huh? Where are you going?" Sister: "I'm going to the shrine with Akaza-san." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan's sister?" Sister: "Yeah, see you later." Chinatsu: "See you later." Chinatsu: "Lucky." Chinatsu: "Senpai, what did you wish for?" Yui: "I wished" Chinatsu: "Oh, Senpai. You're too wonderful!" Chinatsu: "Last year was a great year. I got to meet senpai." Yui: "I'll protect you." Chinatsu: "She kissed my forehead." Chinatsu: "It was great. I'll have to approach her more this year! Eventually, we'll..." Yui: "Chinatsu, come here." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, I'm so happy." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Chinatsu: "What am I thinking?" Mom: "Chinatsu, I hate to bother you when you're having fun," Chinatsu: "Okay!" Chinatsu: "There's so many." Chinatsu: "This one's from Yui-senpai." Chinatsu: "Even her card's cool." Chinatsu: "It's still wonderful, though." Chinatsu: "Huh? A delivery mistake?" Chinatsu: "Who is this from?" Chinatsu: "Oh, Akari-chan." Yui: "Mari-chan, are you hungry?" Mari: "Hungry." Yui: "I'll get food from downstairs. What do you want?" Mari: "Sea urchin!" Yui: "Sea urchin?" Yui: "Is it good?" Mari: "Delicious. When I grow up, I'll be a sea urchin." Yui: "Really? You'll be eaten." Mari: "What? No." Mari: "I don't mind being eaten by you, though." Mari: "I love you!" Yui: "Really?" Yui: "Mari-chan, thank you. But don't say that in front of Mirakurun, okay?" Mari: "Mirakurun?" Yui: "What's wrong?" Mom: "Mari! Let's go!" Mari: "Urchin!" Yui: "Mari-chan, you're welcome any time." Mari: "Urchin! Onee-chan, bye bye." Yui: "Bye bye." Mom: "Yui, we got some greeting cards." Yui: "Okay." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan's card is terrifying!" Yui: "I wonder if Akari passed out?" Yui: "Oh, this one's Kyoko's." Yui: "Wow. They're all of herself." Mom: "Kyoko, osechi." Mom: "You've got greeting cards." Mom: "Kyoko, New Year's money." Himawari: "I am next vice protagonist Furutani Himawari. New Year's just ended and it's already spring." Himawari: "I challenge you to an April Fool's battle, Sakurako! I will be the last one standing!"

Both: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Both: "Yuru Yuri's starting." Kyoko: "That's the end of your face time for this episode." Both: "What?" Sfx: "Akarin" Both: "What?" Chinatsu: "Your lack of presence rubbed off on me!" Akari: "What? It's my fault?" Yui: "I'm sorry. It's starting." Chitose: "Oh, right. Today's April Fools'." Ayano: "That's right." Ayano: "I wish the filthiness of the archives was a joke, too." Ayano: "My spring break is ruined." Chitose: "You're right. Oh, Ayano-chan!" Chitose: "I'm going to lie, so try to spot them, okay?" Ayano: "You're going to what?" Chitose: "It'll be boring if we just clean." Ayano: "You want to play a lying game? Sounds fun." Chitose: "Once we're done cleaning, I'll tell you the answer." Ayano: "I'll see through any lie you tell me." Chitose: "Hey, Ayano-chan." Chitose: "I'm wearing sexy underwear today." Ayano: "Wh- What do I say?..." Ayano: "How mature of you." Chitose: "I know, right?" Chitose: "Oh, and the other day, Toshino-san smelled your shoes." Chitose: "And I just saw something ghost-like in the bathroom." Chitose: "And yesterday, the student council president exploded again..." Ayano: "Could Chitose be a bad liar?" Chitose: "And recently..." Ayano: "How cute." Chitose: "What's wrong?" Ayano: "Nothing." Ayano: "This'll be a piece of cake." Chitose: "Could you take care of this, too?" Ayano: "Okay." Ayano: "A shopping mall?" Ayano: "Oh, right." Attendant: "Here are your fifth prize tissues." Ayano: "Thanks." Ayano: "Maybe I'm unlucky with raffles." Chitose: "Raffle luck, huh?" Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "Did you watch that show yesterday?" Chitose: "Oh, "Our Fluffy Pet"?" Ayano: "Yeah. That cat was cute, wasn't it?" Chitose: "Oh, by the way, Ayano-chan!" Chitose: "This is just between you and me, but... Apparently, Akaza-san keeps ants in her desk at school." Ayano: "Chitose, have you ever kept a pet?" Chitose: "I've got goldfish right now. What about you?" Ayano: "I used to have a parakeet." Chitose: "Really?" Ayano: "Pets are great, aren't they?" Chitose: "I know what you mean." Chitose: "Hariko-chan the hari hari pickles." Ayano: "I don't know about that... Pets can seem a lot like siblings." Chitose: "I suppose they can." Ayano: "Oh, right." Ayano: "Well, um... Do you think she has siblings? Um..." Chitose: "Toshino-san?" Ayano: "Uh, yeah. Chitose, do you know?" Chitose: "I'm pretty sure Toshino-san is an only child." Kyoko: "I'm an only child!" Ayano: "Oh, I see." Chitose: "You always want to know everything about the people you like." Ayano: "Like her? I don't like her!" Chitose: "Ayano-chan, actually..." Chitose: "I have a twin!" Ayano: "I can't remember everything she's said any more..." Ayano: "I should take notes. Let's see. Sexy underwear," Chitose: "There was some corned beef" Ayano: "Yes, yes." Chitose: "Okay! We're finished!" Ayano: "Time to reveal your lies!" Chitose: "You sound confident!" Ayano: "Chitose, I've written all your lies here." Chitose: "I'll tell you the answer, then! When I said I'd lie today, I lied." Ayano: "What?" Ayano: "What?" Chitose: "I lied when I said I'd lie." Ayano: "What? Which means..." Ayano: "None of these are lies?" Ayano: "All of these are true?" Chitose: "I have a twin!" Ayano: "You're joking!" Ayano: "Chitose, you're terrifying." Chitose: "By the way, you were lying" Ayano: "I wasn't lying!" Kyoko: "There's a lot of people here." Yui: "Looks like everyone came to do their spring break assignments." Kyoko: "It's Chitose." Kyoko: "She's really into that book." Kyoko: "Yo! Hey!" Kyoko: "She didn't hear me." Yui: "Don't bother her." Yui: "Let's study here." Kyoko: "Okay." Kyoko: "Math problem set!" Yui: "You're doing math?" Kyoko: "You mean you're not?" Yui: "Kanji." Kyoko: "What? Then I can't copy you." Yui: "Do it yourself." Kyoko: "I wonder if Chitose has hers?" Kyoko: "Hey." Yui: "I told you not to bother her." Kyoko: "Hello?" Chitose: "Hmm?" Kyoko: "Gaa~n!" Kyoko: "Chitose's scary when she's reading." Yui: "She's not scary." Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "All of it!" Yui: "Yeah, do it yourself." Kyoko: "If I can do it tomorrow I won't do it today!" Yui: "Why are you proud of that?" Kyoko: "Isn't it unusual to see Chitose by herself?" Yui: "Yeah, that's true. She's always with Ayano." Yui: "I wonder if they had a fight?" Kyoko: "And now she's in a bad mood." Kyoko: "Cheer up." Kyoko: "I want to make her laugh!" Kyoko: "Pay attention to me!" Kyoko: "Not you!" Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "I'm trying to cheer Chitose up." Yui: "Leave her alone. She's focusing on reading." Kyoko: "No, you're wrong!" Chitose: "My, Kyoko-dono. I was reading this book" Yui: "Why's she talking like a samurai?" Kyoko: "I'll be a samurai!" Chitose: "Hmm?" Kyoko: "Gaa~n!" Kyoko: "How can I make her smile?" Yui: "Quiet!" Yui: "Your hair's in the way." Yui: "I'll pull it out!" Kyoko: "But..." Yui: "You haven't even opened your problem set!" Kyoko: "Chitose's more important right now!" Kyoko: "I've got to get Chitose's smile back!" Yui: "I'm telling you not to bother her." Kyoko: "Not you." Kyoko: "Damn it." Kyoko: "Yui, she glared at me! Chitose glared at me!" Yui: "Huh? It's because you keep bothering her." Yui: "She probably wants to focus on reading." Kyoko: "Are you sure?" Ayano: "Oh, you two." Kyoko: "Ayano." Chitose: "Are you doing your homework?" Yui: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Chitose?" Kyoko: "Huh? But... you're right over there..." Chitose: "What? Oh!" Chitose: "Hey, Chizuru." Chizuru: "Oh, nee-san." Both: "Nee-san?" Ayano: "She really does exist!" Student A: "Ikeda-san, your handout." Student B: "I'm collecting notebooks." Student A: "Ikeda-san's cool, isn't she?" Student B: "Talking to her makes me so nervous." Student A: "I know." Student B: "Right." Chitose: "Chizuru!" Chizuru: "Nee-san... and Sugiura-san." Chitose: "We're on our way to the student council room." Chitose: "We'll be done early today, so we can go home together." Chizuru: "Okay." Ayano: "Chizuru-san's very cool, isn't she?" Chitose: "You think so? I'm sure she's just nervous. She's a nice and ordinary little sister at home." Ayano: "Really? Like what?" Chitose: "When I take a bath," Ayano: "I see." Chizuru: "Nee-san, that was a secret." Chitose: "Sorry, sorry." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, eventually you'll be doing that with Toshino-san." Ayano: "Don't be stupid!" Ayano: "You idiot." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you're so cute." Chitose: "Allow me to explain! When Chizuru enters fantasy mode," Ayano: "You're drooling!" Chizuru: "No, I'm not. I'm fine." Ayano: "No, you're drooling." Kyoko: "Hey everyone!" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "You're drooling." Chizuru: "Shut up!" Yui: "I've been thinking for a while now" Kyoko: "What? You're kidding. That's not true." Kyoko: "Chizuru!" Chizuru: "Gross! Get back!" Kyoko: "See?" Yui: "What do you mean, "see?"" Chitose: "So..." Ayano: "Chitose, I... I..." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, I'm so happy..." Ayano: "Again!" Kyoko: "She's just like a merlion." Ayano: "Stop saying stupid stuff and help me!" Chizuru: "I'm fine. I'm not drooling." Yui: "You are! Who are you trying to fool?" Ayano: "Don't laugh! Tissues, tissues!" Ayano: "Sheesh!" Ayano: "You, too?" Yui: "I see. Chitose has nose bleeds, and Chizuru-san drools." Kyoko: "They are sisters." Ayano: "Why are you satisfied with that?" Kyoko: "Ayano, do you have any pudding in the student council room? I'm hungry." Ayano: "This isn't the time for that!" Yui: "Leeway freeway!" Ayano: "Besides, that's my pudding!" Kyoko: "Cheapskate!" Yui: "Chizuru-san, are you in any clubs or organizations?" Chitose: "Not in particular." Yui: "I see. I didn't realize Chitose had a twin." Ayano: "Me neither!" Chitose: "I just didn't." Kyoko: "You must not have noticed because our classes are so far away. We're in class five and Chizuru's in one." Chizuru: "Why do you know my class?" Chitose: "Chizuru knows all about both of you. I talk about you all the time." Yui: "I see." Chizuru: "Ikeda Chizuru." Kyoko: "I'm Toshino Kyoko-tan." Chizuru: "Die." Yui: "She's merciless." Kyoko: "No, no. I'm sure she's just shy. Right?" Chitose: "Now, now. Don't act like that." Chitose: "Let's be friends." Kyoko: "Tsundere?" Kyoko: "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Chitose: "Toshino-san, we're going to get going." Ayano: "Just so you know, that pudding's all mine." Kyoko: "Okay, okay." Kyoko: "Oh, right. Ayano!" Ayano: "What do you want?" Kyoko: "Your shoes smelled like tea." Ayano: "Green tea and catechin deoderant..." Ayano: "Why are you smelling people's shoes?" Kyoko: "I was curious." Ayano: "You're unbelievable." Chitose: "Oh, and the other day, Toshino-san smelled your shoes." Both: "We're home." Chitose: "What should we have for dinner today?" Chitose: "Okay." Both: "Let's eat." Chitose: "Grandma said she had a meeting, so she'll be late." Chizuru: "Okay." Chitose: "Sorry dinner's so simple." Chizuru: "It's okay." Chitose: "Really?" Chitose: "This is delicious." Chitose: "Yes, delicious." Chizuru: "Here." Chitose: "Isn't that yours?" Chitose: "Here you go, Chizuru." Chitose: "Is it good?" Chizuru: "It's good." Chitose: "Chizuru, what's wrong?" Chizuru: "Your back..." Chitose: "Oh." Chitose: "Thanks again." Chizuru: "Don't worry about it. I'm your sister." Chitose: "I know you're my sister, but thanks anyway." Chitose: "Chizuru." Chitose: "Does that feel good?" Chizuru: "Yes." Chizuru: "I'm turning out the lights." Chitose: "Okay. Good night." Chitose: "Come here." Chizuru: "Okay." Chitose: "Chizuru, you're such a baby." Chizuru: "I'm your little sister." Chitose: "I guess you can't help it." Chizuru: "Yeah, I can't." Chitose: "Chizuru? Try to get along with Toshino-san." Chitose: "Oh, well." Kyoko: "I got to talk to Chizuru a lot today." Yui: "I wonder why she hates you so much." Yui: "Maybe it's because you were so annoying at the library the other day." Kyoko: "I told you, she doesn't hate me." Yui: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Seriously?" Yui: "You really didn't notice?" Kyoko: "So that's how it was!" Yui: "You're really upset." Yui: "Kyoko." Kyoko: "What?" Yui: "Do you want some ice cream?" Kyoko: "Rum raisin?" Yui: "Rum raisin." Kyoko: "Okay." Yui: "Apologize the next time you see her. I'll go with you." Kyoko: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Chizurun." Chizuru: "Gross!" Kyoko: "Wait! Chizurun." Chizuru: "Go away! Shoo, shoo!" Sakurako: "True next vice protagonist Omuro Sakurako here! I'll never let Himawari take the titles" Sakurako: "Someday I'll even have bigger breasts, damn it! Oh, I forgot about the preview."

All: "Akarin." Akari: "Hey... What is this?" All: "Akarin." Akari: "The title call." Akari: "Yu-Yuru Yuri's start..." Yui: "It's hot again this year." Chinatsu: "It definitely is." Kyoko: "Now's the perfect time" Yui: "This is how you do it." Kyoko: "Oh, sorry!" Kyoko: "What do you think is scary?" Yui: "Earthquakes." Akari: "Fires." Chinatsu: "Fathers?" Kyoko: "That's not what I meant." Kyoko: "I'm talking about saucy stories." Three: "What?" Kyoko: "By which I mean spooky stories!" Kyoko: "They're a summer standard!" Chinatsu: "You mean ghosts?" Kyoko: "Yeah!" Yui: "Scary stories, huh?" Kyoko: "Oh, speaking of spooky stories... Yesterday, I thought I felt the" Yui: "Spooky! But that's not a spooky story!" Yui: "Oh, this didn't actually happen, but..." Yui: "When you open a door..." Yui: "If that happened, it'd be scary." Chinatsu: "Senpai, please stop." Woman: "Your hands are so dry." Woman: "Would you like to try this hand cream?" Yui: "I don't get it." Chinatsu: "Let's stop this already." Kyoko: "It's okay. I'll go with you." Chinatsu: "I'd rather go with Yui-senpai." Kyoko: "Huh? Um, I was hoping you'd say something like," Kyoko: "Hey, let's test our courage." Yui: "Kyoko, that sounds like something you'd like." Kyoko: "Yeah, I do. Forget the spooky stories." Yui: "You sure?" Kyoko: "Don't you think someone like Ayano would be terrified?" Yui: "We're going to scare her?" Kyoko: "Ayano and Chitose are our targets." Yui: "Doing it at school is fine, right?" Kyoko: "Yep." Yui: "I wonder what scary traps we can use." Kyoko: "From inside a television..." Yui: "I'd like to see you try." Chinatsu: "When Akari-chan flushes the toilet," Akari: "Just me?" Chinatsu: "It's the curse of the bathroom ghost." Kyoko: "There's a story about that, isn't there?" Yui: "Wouldn't that be bullying?" Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "I'm not bullying her." Yui: "Scaring someone's harder than I thought." Kyoko: "What about a mannequin?" Yui: "Good idea." Kyoko: "Wouldn't it be scary to find a glove or a shoe" Yui: "Yeah, a bag or something would give you a little shock." Kyoko: "Let's put those all together." Teacher: "Did someone forget this?" Teacher: "There's been a lot of forgotten items recently." Kyoko: "Wait!" Yui: "What a shock." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan, do you not like haunted houses?" Chinatsu: "I don't mind them too much. The first time I entered one, my friends left me by myself." Chinatsu: "Wait." Ghost: "Are you all right?" Chinatsu: "Oh, thank you. Even the ghost felt sorry for me." Kyoko: "I've scared a ghost before." Yui: "Hey, you shouldn't do that." Kyoko: "I wonder if there are any haunted houses with real ghosts." Yui: "I'm sure there must be some." Kyoko: "By the way, I believe in ghosts! I believe in aliens and UMAs, too." Yui: "What about Santa?" Kyoko: "I can't answer that. It's nice believing in something that may or may not exist. It's sort of like having a dream, you know?" Chinatsu: "What about Santa?" Kyoko: "I can't answer that." Akari: "Like a host to ghosts?" Akari: "Right?" All: "Lame!" Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "We couldn't come up with anything good." Chinatsu: "When are we going to do this?" Kyoko: "It'd be too much work to set up, so we won't." Chinatsu: "What?" Yui: "She's always been like this." Chinatsu: "So hot." Chinatsu: "This room's a little too hot, isn't it?" Yui: "It's not air conditioned." Kyoko: "It's hot because you think it is." Yui: "What are you, a kid?" Chinatsu: "Isn't it cold today, Kyoko-senpai?" Kyoko: "It's hot." Chinatsu: "That's not what you just said!" Yui: "The student council room has air conditioning, doesn't it?" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "What?" Chinatsu: "Why don't we check it out? I don't handle the heat well." Yui: "They've got a refrigerator, too." Kyoko: "Rum raisin?" Yui: "Maybe." Kyoko: "Yui-sama, thank you for this excellent information." Kyoko: "Shall I bring you some tea?" Yui: "Uh, please do." Kyoko: "Yes, ma'am! Right away!" Kyoko: "Miss Yui, your tea is ready!" Yui: "Tha..." Chinatsu: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "I apologize, Miss Yui! I, Toshino Kyoko, will pay with my life!" Yui: "Just go buy some ice." Akari: "Putting ice in this made it cold and delicious." Kyoko: "Taking my socks off made me feel a little cooler." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, you tied back your hair." Yui: "Uh, yeah. I mean, it's hot. Does it look weird?" Chinatsu: "Not at all. It's absolutely adorable." Yui: "Um, thanks." Akari: "It's so hot." Kyoko: "You could try jumping into a river naked." Akari: "Oh, of course." Yui: "Of course... not. What are you, a flasher?" Kyoko: "Oh, that's right." Yui: "What is it?" Kyoko: "Tada." Kyoko: "If you spray this on some fabric, it'll freeze." Chinatsu: "I never knew that existed." Kyoko: "You'll get frostbite if you spray it directly on your skin," Yui: "Who are you talking to?" Chinatsu: "It's so cold." Kyoko: "Let's forget about the heat and have a fantastic conversation." Chinatsu: "Fantastic conversation?" Kyoko: "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" Yui: "Superpower?" Kyoko: "Like immortality." Akari: "I wouldn't want to be immortal." Akari: "It'd be so lonely." Chinatsu: "I'd like to fly." Kyoko: "Fly..." Kyoko: "Okay, see you tomorrow." Chinatsu: "See you later." Akari: "I wish I could talk to the animals." Chinatsu: "How fairy tale-like and cute." Akari: "Mister Mouse, shadow clone technique!" ezumi: "Yes, ma'am!" Yui: "I guess I'd choose the ability to warp." Yui: "Look, Kyoko. I can warp now." Kyoko: "Your clothes didn't warp with you, Yui." Kyoko: "None of your powers are any good." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, what would you choose?" Kyoko: "Mine's pretty amazing. It's burglar alarm power!" Yui: "Just buy one from the store." Chinatsu: "That conversation's over." Yui: "The heat's starting to bother me again." Yui: "Isn't there anything else we can talk about?" Kyoko: "Don't say that! The moment someone says that cursed phrase," Chinatsu: "That happens, doesn't it?" Kyoko: "We should make a conversation topic box for times like this." Yui: "That box is doing a lot of work." Chinatsu: "I can't take it any more." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan," Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "Senpai, your legs are nice and cool." Kyoko: "If we're hot, we should head over to the student council room." Yui: "You're right." Akari: "Shall we go?" Kyoko: "Yeah." Chinatsu: "Wait!" Chinatsu: "I'm in the middle of something great!" Kyoko: "Who cares?" Kyoko: "People tell a lot of stories about school, don't they?" Yui: "We're resurrecting that topic?" Kyoko: "But there are never actually any ghosts." Yui: "I've never seen an actual ghost." Kyoko: "You haven't? That's weird." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai!" Kyoko: "It happens all the time." Kyoko: "You open a door and find a creepy spirit on the other side." Yui: "That definitely doesn't happen all the time." Kyoko: "You think so?" Chinatsu: "Eh?, wh-who is that?" Yui: "I don't know. I've never seen her before." Kyoko: "Is she a person?" Chinatsu: "If she's not a person, what is she?" Kyoko: "Maybe she loves school so much, she can't ever leave it." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai?" Kyoko: "She's stuck wandering this world with those feelings in her heart." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai!" Kyoko: "How... How sad." Yui: "Calm down!" Chinatsu: "Let's run, Yui-senpai! While Kyoko-senpai is being attacked!" Kyoko: "Hey." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, thank you!" Akari: "Why are you thanking me?" Kyoko: "We'll never forget your sacrifice." Akari: "Wait! Wait for me!" : "Matsumoto, are you there?" : "My experiment exploded and caught fire." : "How do I look? Is it fashionable?" : "I think the principal's hard headed." : "He keeps telling me to stop my dangerous experiments." : "If you fear mistakes, you'll never succeed, you know?" : "Explosions are the foundation of success. When you think of it that way," : "If you knew the first guy died from poison," : "Testing the parachute must have been the same." : "Well, I'm the same way. I'll keep trying despite explosions and fires." : "Well? What do you think of these hopeful eyes?" : "See? You agree." Ayano: "President," Ayano: "I haven't handled this paperwork before," Ayano: "Uh..." : "Matsumoto says to underline applicable items and" Ayano: "Nishigaki-sensei, you understood that?" Ayano: "Thank you." : "She says she'll handle the rest of the paperwork," Ayano: "Thank you." Ayano: "How does she know what the president's thinking?" Chitose: "Nishigaki-sensei, you're back." : "The principal got mad at me for an explosion. I can't use the science room for a week." Ayano: "Does that mean you're going to spend" : "Matsumoto says it's all right, right?" : "See?" Ayano: "Fine, then." Ayano: "Please don't blow up the student council room." : "By the way, Matsumoto." : "I'm thinking about flying next." : "I expect I'll fly about" : "Don't worry." : "Wouldn't it be amazing if I flew three kilometers? It'd be a short flight home." : "I guess I'd attract some attention." : "Getting from home to school's the problem." : "My house only has two floors." : "Huh? A launch pad." : "There are those cannons that launch you..." : "I tried making one once, but it didn't work. The blast from the cannon was greater than I thought," : "Inventing's no easy task." : "Explosions and destruction are essential." : "But something new might come from it." : "My house still doesn't have a roof, though." : "Matsumoto, will you be my test subject again?" : "I tried fixing that drug from the other day." : "I took it myself and my voice shot up." : "Helium gas can't hold a candle to it." : "Damn, damn, damn! "What's wrong with your voice? Are you messing around?" I said I wasn't," : "It was pretty surreal." : "Side effects?" : "It might make your hair grow a little," Chinatsu: "Let's not do this, senpai." Yui: "But we shouldn't have left Akari." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Chinatsu: "Senpai, it's an emergency." Chinatsu: "The student council room is very dangerous." : "I guess explosions are necessary." Ayano: "What are you doing, sensei?" : "Don't worry. I'm not hurt." Ayano: "I'm not worried about you." Kyoko: "There's a person right there." : "Huh?" Ayano: "President?" : "Are you okay?" : "You're okay, then." Ayano: "I've noticed from before that two seem really close." : "We have a forbidden relationship." Ayano: "What?" : "She's always helping me out by testing drugs I'm inventing." Ayano: "That really is forbidden." : "We blow up together a lot, too. We're explosion friends." Ayano: "What's an explosion friend?" : "It's sort of like an online friend." : "Currently recruiting explosion friends." Ayano: "Please don't recruit that!" Ayano: "President, you should refuse if you don't want to do it." Ayano: "President?" : "Huh? Oh, thanks, Matsumoto." Ayano: "What a pair of weirdos." Chinatsu: "That's her." Chitose: "Ghost?" Yui: "President..." Chitose: "That's right." Chinatsu: "What? What?" Kyoko: "I've never seen her before." Chitose: "She's always been in the student council room." Yui: "That's the first I've heard of that." Ayano: "She came to the beach with us." All: "No way!" Chinatsu: "I'm glad there wasn't a real ghost." Yui: "What's wrong?" Chinatsu: "I just felt something cold on my neck." Chitose: "What a nice reaction." Chinatsu: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "That's rum raisin!" Kyoko: "That's right, this is what I came here for." Ayano: "Hey, that's my ice cream!" Ayano: "Give it back." Ayano: "Unbelievable." Ayano: "Let me help you." Ayano: "By the way, president." Ayano: "I've been wondering for a while now..." Ayano: "What sort of experiments do you do with Nishigaki-sensei?" Ayano: "What do they do?" Yui: "Where did Akari go, anyway?" Chinatsu: "I wonder where she went." Kyoko: "Who cares? I got some ice cream." Yui: "You're unbelievable." Akari: "Hey, everyone." Yui: "She doesn't seem angry." Chinatsu: "Oh, good." Akari: "Sorry about today, everyone." All: "Huh?" Yui: "Why are you apologizing?" Akari: "Huh?" Kyoko: "What? But you were there." Akari: "Huh? No, I didn't go. We had to help the teacher with something, right?" Both: "Yeah." Himawari: "Sakurako just got in the way." Sakurako: "What did you say?" All: "Who was that?" Akari: "Is this place host to ghosts?" Akari: "What's wrong, Chinatsu-chan?" Yui: "What's wrong with you, Akari?" Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "You lack presence even as a spirit." Akari: "A spirit? I lack presence?" Kyoko: "And you make cold jokes." Akari: "Cold? Isn't it hot today? Isn't it?" Akari: "It's returning protagonist Akaza Akari! You should leave the previews to me. I won't let you call me the "protagonist (laugh)" any more. The next episode covers the second years' school trip, and... The second they let me do the preview again,"

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey~" Akari: "Yuru Yuri's starting again." Akari: "Despite that, I find every day very fulfilling." Akari: "Good morning, everyone." Both: "Akari!" All: "Good morning!" Kyoko: "Akari, your buns look cool again today. Can I touch them?" Yui: "Kyoko, you just touched them the other day! It's my turn today!" Chinatsu: "That's not fair! I still haven't touched them, yet!" Yui: "Akari, come sleep over at my place sometime." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, no! Akari-chan's staying with me!" Kyoko: "Not fair! I want to watch Mirakurun alone with Akari!" Akari: "Now, now. I'll sleep over at each of your houses." All: "Really?" Akari: "So... No fighting!" All: "Akari, you're so wonderful!" Akari: "Shall we go to school?" Chinatsu: "Wait, Akari-chan! I want to hold your hand..." Kyoko: "Stop! I'll be holding her hand!" Yui: "No, I will!" Akari: "Come on, now. I don't have three hands. So," Akari: "Yui-chan, you get my pointer finger." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you get my middle finger. Now you can all hold my hand." All: "I'm so happy!" Akari: "By the way, this is what you call Fleming's left hand rule." All: "Akari, you know everything!" Akari: "Just ask me if there's anything you don't know." Chinatsu: "Okay, then! Why is the sky blue?" Akari: "Because you're all so cute!" All: "Akari, you're so wonderful!" Akari: "I'll see you two later." Yui: "See you after school." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan's lucky Akari's in her class." Chinatsu: "We're finally alone, Akari-chan... Something smells sour!" Akari: "Oh, it's these pickles." Chinatsu: "Oh, good. I thought your feet might be stinky." Akari: "There's a person who sometimes gives me pickles." Akari: "I'm sure someone wonderful is watching over me from somewhere." Chitose: "I secretly gave her my pickles, homemade and full of love. Now she will know how I feel." Akari: "Ikeda-senpai, your pickles are always amazing." Akari: "I wish I could pickle some with you." Chitose: "You can pickle me. It's too much!" Akari: "I didn't know there was a fountain there." Chinatsu: "It's so great to watch a red fountain with Akari-chan!" Akari: "Good morning, everyone..." Sakurako: "Akari-chan!" Sakurako: "What do you think you're doing?" Himawari: "I do not want your stifling behavior ruining" Sakurako: "What'd you say?" Akari: "Sakurako-chan, Himawari-chan, good morning." Akari: "You both seem lively today." Sakurako: "Akari-chan! You can give me a good morning kiss, if you want!" Himawari: "You can kiss me, too!" Akari: "What will I do with you kittens?" Akari: "That will have to do." Sakurako: "It's not like I'm happy or anything..." Himawari: "You can do that every day!" Ayano: "Akaza Akari!" Sakurako: "What was that?" Akari: "Sugiura-senpai is so shy..." Himawari: "Oh, right. I baked some cookies." Akari: "They're shaped like my face!" Himawari: "They were left over." Akari: "Thank you." Akari: "Thanks for the food." Akari: "They're delicious!" Himawari: "It's just like you to start eating from your trademark buns!" Sakurako: "I want to see you do that again. Your "Akarin."" Akari: "But if I do that," Sakurako: "I see." Akari: "Oh, you're hopeless." Sakurako: "What? You're really gonna do it?" Akari: "Just today!" Text: "Akarin!" All: "Akari-chan, you're so talented!" Akari: "My time doesn't end after school, either. That's right. I am the brightest star of the Amusement Club." Kyoko: "Akari's here!" Chinatsu: "You're late, Akari-chan." Yui: "I thought you weren't coming." Akari: "Sorry, sorry. What are we doing today?" Kyoko: "Today, we're doing..." Kyoko: "Tada!" Akari: "What's this?" Kyoko: "The three of us made it." Yui: "With all our love..." Chinatsu: "Will you eat it?" Akari: "Of course I will!" Akari: "It's delicious." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you're so awesome!" Yui: "You've made a mess of your cute face, Akari." Akari: "Thank you, Yui-chan." Chinatsu: "I was going to do that!" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, your cheek is so sweet." Akari: "You naughty little kitten!" Kyoko: "I made something good, too!" Kyoko: "This is the Akari and Mirakurun doujinshi I wrote!" Kyoko: "Here." Akari: "Thank you, Kyoko-chan!" Kyoko: "Um..." Kyoko: "Akari, I love you!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan..." Chinatsu: "I love you, too!" Yui: "I love you too, Akari..." Akari: "Everyone..." Ayano: "Akaza Akari!" Ayano: "I love you, too!" Chitose: "Hold it right there!" Chitose: "I also love you, Akaza-san!" Akari: "Those pickles... Ikeda-senpai!" Sakurano: "I love you, too!" Himawari: "So do I!" Chizuru: "I love you, too." Akari: "Chizuru-senpai!" shigaki: "I love you even more than I love explosions!" Akari: "Nishigaki-sensei, you too?" All: "Akari!" Akari: "We'll always be together!" Kyoko: "Akari. Hey, Akari. It's no use. She's fast asleep." Chinatsu: "And after Yui-senpai went through" Kyoko: "Who cares?" Kyoko: "Leth's juth let her thleep." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai!" Yui: "Don't talk with your mouth full. It's bad manners." Kyoko: "Who cares? Let's just let her sleep. I mean, look. She looks so happy..." Yui: "Well, now that you mention it..." Kyoko: "Anyway, thanks for the food." Chinatsu: "No, you don't!" Yui: "Leave some for Akari." Akari: "We'll always be together." Chinatsu: "It's so nice and beautiful. It's a shame it's so close to home, though." Yui: "We're just a bunch of middle schoolers, so we can't go far. I'm glad our parents let us come." Chinatsu: "Yes! I've been looking forward to today for a long time. I was so jealous when you went away on your school trip," Kyoko: "Did you want to take a bath with me that badly?" Chinatsu: "No!" Chinatsu: "But... If it were with Yui-senpai..." Yui: "This is relaxing." Chinatsu: "Why don't we have some of these?" Akari: "Oh, I'll have one, too." Akari: "These are delicious." Yui: "You're right." Kyoko: "Hey!" Yui: "These are good." Kyoko: "They really are." Kyoko: "I mean, no! This isn't any different from being at the club room. Let's do something more hot springs-ish!" Akari: "What's hot springs-ish?" Chinatsu: "Maybe table tennis?" Kyoko: "Let's go with that." Yui: "Think before you speak." Yui: "Hurry up and serve." Kyoko: "Concentrate!" Yui: "No." Chinatsu: "Jeeze, Akari-chan." Akari: "Sorry." Kyoko: "Take this! Killer smash!" Chinatsu: "It's stuck and won't come out." Chinatsu: "I got it!" Chinatsu: "I'll serve next." Akari: "Okay. Bring it on." Chinatsu: "Here I go!" Akari: "When you serve, you're supposed to make the ball bounce once" Chinatsu: "Is that right? Let's try that again, then." Yui: "Why do you have two?" Kyoko: "So I can hit the ball whether you aim left or right!" Yui: "Here we go." Kyoko: "There." Kyoko: "Not... bad!" Yui: "Aren't you going to use your left hand?" Kyoko: "There!" Chinatsu: "I'm so sweaty." Akari: "I'm thirsty." Kyoko: "Fine, then. I'll buy you guys something to drink." Akari: "Really? I want a Pukari." Kyoko: "All right. But just buying it for you would be too boring." Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "Let's push Pukari and red bean soup at the same time!" Akari: "What? Pukari! I hope I get Pukari!" Akari: "It's so hot... Red bean soup won't quench my thirst..." Kyoko: "Cheer up, Akari. No one could've known most vending machines prioritize" Akari: "Obviously you knew, didn't you?" Yui: "Oh, sorry. Chinatsu-chan, what do you want?" Chinatsu: "What? Um, Boronamin C, please." Yui: "Okay." Yui: "I'd buy anything for you, my cute little Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, I've always... After exercising, you should drink red bean soup" Akari: "Here I go." Akari: "There!" Kyoko: "Akari." Akari: "Sorry!" Yui: "Stop that." Kyoko: "All right! It's about to get harder!" Chinatsu: "What? You can hit two balls at once?" Kyoko: "I'm pretty good when I'm serious." Kyoko: "Here we go!" Kyoko: "Yui-san, would you like to wash each other?" Yui: "I've already finished." Kyoko: "It's no big deal!" Kyoko: "Don't go easy on me." Kyoko: "Ow! I'm sorry! I'll do it myself!" Yui: "You said not to go easy. I can go even harder." Akari: "It's cold!" Chinatsu: "It feels so good." Yui: "It really does." Kyoko: "Miss, your skin is so smooth." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai?" Yui: "Stop that, you idiot." Kyoko: "It's like cleaning a clam!" Yui: "What's that supposed to mean?" Akari: "Oh, isn't that cute?" Kyoko: "You got my joke?" Chinatsu: "Hot springs are so nice." Kyoko: "Hot springs, hot springs. I'm in hot water-springs." Chinatsu: "Is that one of Sugiura-senpai's jokes?" Kyoko: "Yeah. No Angkor worries! You'll have to pay a fine Irvine!" Chinatsu: "I'm surprised you remember those." Kyoko: "Whiny, whiny, Mesopo-whiny-a!" Kyoko: "Why don't you laugh at my jokes?" Yui: "I don't know!" Akari: "Don't fight, you... Huh?" Akari: "How many balls did your hair eat?" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "I ate too much." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, are you going to sleep already?" Yui: "No, I'm just resting." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan really is asleep." Yui: "Yeah, she always goes to bed at nine." Kyoko: "At nine? Oh, no! I forgot!" Kyoko: "Mirakurun's movie is on TV today." Yui: "You already have the blu-rays and DVDs. I bet you're recording it, too." Kyoko: "You don't understand." Both: "Really?" Kurumi: "Thanks for the food!" Kurumi: "Hooray, today's lunch is miso cabbage." Raika: "Kurumi-chan, I bought some strawberry milk and yakisoba bread." Kurumi: "Good work, Raika-chan. Since I'm a growing girl, just lunch isn't enough for me." Raika: "Your lunch looks delicious." Kurumi: "I'll give you some miso as a reward." Raika: "Hooray, I love miso!" Raika: "Kurumi-chan, something has come up..." Kurumi: "Same here!" Girl A: "My skirt is getting shorter and shorter!" Girl B: "The gap between my socks and my skirt is so wide," Ganbo: "Giga giga giga! I will fill this world with embarrassment!" Rivalrun: "I'll make you wear clothes as embarrassing as mine!" Mirakurun: "Stop!" Mirakurun: "Witch Girl Mirakurun has arrived!" Mirakurun: "Kids who don't play nice will get hurt!" Rivalrun: "I knew you would come." Ganbo: "Leave this to me." Ganbo: "Mirakurun, I'll wrap you up in a tornado of embarrassment!" Ganbo: "This is what I look like under my sunglasses!" Mirakurun: "No! Your eyes are too cute! How embarrassing!" Ganbo: "Well? Well?" Mirakurun: "You've done it now! Finishing move, Mirakurun Hammer!" Rivalrun: "Ganbo-sama! You'll pay for this, Mirakurun!" Girl A: "My skirt's length is back to normal!" Girl B: "Thank you, Mirakurun!" Mirakurun: "Serving out justice is a piece of cake." Kyoko: "I'm happy... I'm so happy..." Chinatsu: "You're crying?" Kyoko: "Hey, let's get into the hot spring again." Yui: "I'm too tired." Kyoko: "Hey! Don't sleep!" Yui: "Shut up. Go by yourself." Kyoko: "Fine." Kyoko: "I will." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "It's not because I thought you might" Kyoko: "I'll wrap you up in a tornado of embarrassment!" Chinatsu: "Mirakurun Hammer!" Kyoko: "My skull caved in." Chinatsu: "Behave yourself!" Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "Yui, I thought you were tired." Yui: "Not really. Does it matter?" Kyoko: "I bet you were lonely 'cause Akari's asleep." Yui: "Shut up, you idiot." Kyoko: "May this fun last forever." Akari: "Where did everyone go?" Akari: "Your protagonist Akaza Akari has returned. I'm so happy to see all of you again! I'll stand out even more this time, so don't look away. All together, now. Akarin!"

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Sakurako: "What's going on?" Chinatsu: "D-Don't tell me it's happening again." Akari: "Akarin!" Kyoko: "You first years keep an eye on things while we're gone!" Yui: "Is everyone okay?" Akari: "Niraka!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Yui: "Be good while we're gone." All: "We will!" Akari: "I'm the only one who didn't reappe—" Yui: "Just how many snacks did you bring?" Kyoko: "I didn't just bring snacks." Kyoko: "Just in case!" Yui: "You won't have a chance to use those things in Kyoto!" Kyoko: "What?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, calm down!" Chitose: "We'll be sharing a hotel room with them." Ayano: "I-I'm not looking forward to it at all!" Chitose: "Really?" Ayano: "T-That's right." Sakurako: "I wanna go on a trip, too!" Himawari: "Where'd that come from?" Sakurako: "I'm jealous of the upperclassmen's trip. I wanna go somewhere, too! I wanna go!" Himawari: "You're such a child." Himawari: "Who would you go with, anyway?" Sakurako: "I have no choice. I guess I'll go with you." Himawari: "Why do you act so condescending?" Himawari: "Well? Where are we going?" Sakurako: "I don't have any money," Himawari: "Is that really a trip?" Himawari: "I hope you don't get tired and give up halfway." Sakurako: "Don't treat me like a kid!" Sakurako: "Stupid, stupid!" Himawari: "Haven't we walked far enough?" Sakurako: "Yes." Sakurako: "There are a bunch of people named Hasegawa around here." Sakurako: "There are probably lots of Shibatas, too." Himawari: "No one cares about that." Himawari: "Anyway, I'm feeling a little hungry." Himawari: "What's that? A rock?" Sakurako: "A rice ball. You used to like bonito." Himawari: "Did you make this for me?" Sakurako: "N-No. If you don't want it, give it back." Himawari: "Oh, no. Thank you." Himawari: "It's so salty." Sakurako: "What's that?!" Himawari: "Did you taste this before serving it? You should try it." Sakurako: "What? You're just too picky when it comes to tas—" Himawari: "How's it taste?" Sakurako: "There's just enough salt" Sakurako: "Fitness food for a true athlete. Its flavor would make a TV gourmet reporter exclaim," Himawari: "How stubborn are you?" Sakurako: "Himawari, you like bonito, right?" Himawari: "I'll choke you with that rice ball!" Sakurako: "The forest is getting a little thick. There aren't any bears around here, are there?" Himawari: "Could you not say things like that?" Sakurako: "What are we supposed to do if a bear appears?" Himawari: "I've heard playing dead is actually dangerous. I heard on TV that they'll stay away" Himawari: "For example, by whistling." Sakurako: "Whistling? Leave that to me." Himawari: "You're not whistling." Himawari: "That's it. A bell. This should work, too." Sakurako: "Good job, Himawari. You're always prepared." Sakurako: "We'll take that bear down with our bare hands." Himawari: "You're still not whistling. We haven't beaten any bears, either." Sakurako: "Himawari." Himawari: "Huh?" Sakurako: "I've been wondering for a while..." Himawari: "Wh-What is it?" Sakurako: "Where're we?" Himawari: "What?" Himawari: "This is nothing to laugh about!" Sakurako: "I don't." Himawari: "Don't be proud of it." Himawari: "A third time?" Himawari: "We need to find a way home." Sakurako: "Butler! Maybe if we call a butler, a limousine will—" Himawari: "Shut up and think." Sakurako: "Okay." Himawari: "Sakurako is thinking harder than usual." Himawari: "Maybe she has a plan!" Himawari: "Sakurako, have you got an idea?" Sakurako: "There's a caterpillar on your foot." Himawari: "What?" Himawari: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Sakurako: "You told me to shut up." Sakurako: "There's a park over there." Himawari: "Oh my. You're right." Himawari: "What are we going to do?" Himawari: "We've no idea where we are, and we're lost." Himawari: "That's it! A phone! We'll be fine if we call home" Himawari: "Sakurako, we can call..." Himawari: "Unbelievable." Himawari: "She plays until she drops. Literally." Sakurako: "Read it, read it!" Himawari: "Okay." Himawari: "The wolf following Little Red Riding Hood saw her playing..." Himawari: "She hasn't matured a day since we were kids." Himawari: "I knew nothing good would happen today. I suppose I haven't matured either," Himawari: "W-what's that?!" Himawari: "Could it be?" Akari: "Huh? Himawari-chan, Sakurako-chan," Himawari: "Akaza-san... What are you doing here?" Akari: "I take walks in this area." Himawari: "These woods? You walk this far?" Akari: "Far?" Akari: "We're in the woods behind the school." Himawari: "Wake up already!" Ayano: "What's that?" Chitose: "That's called the Otowa-no-Taki." Kyoko: "Sure is crowded." Yui: "I guess we can skip it." Kyoko: "You're right." Kyoko: "We're right under the Kiyomizu stage, aren't we?" Chitose: "Oh, you're right." Kyoko: "It's not that high, after all." Chitose: "But if you fell and got impaled by those, it's over." Kyoko: "Oh, I see." Yui: "Why are you talking about that?" Chinatsu: "The tea is ready." Chinatsu: "That's right. Yui-senpai isn't here..." Akari: "T-There's no need to be sad. She might be gone," Chinatsu: "This is a very big deal to me!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai! If I don't see her face at least once a day, I wilt!" Akari: "W-Would a photo do?" Chinatsu: "I have a few photos myself..." Akari: "A few?!" Chinatsu: "But I still don't have enough," Akari: "You don't have enough?" Chinatsu: "No?" Akari: "It's fine." Akari: "When did she take those?" Akari: "Sometimes, she's incredible." Chinatsu: "Lately, I've been feeling uncertain." Akari: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "When I look at Yui-senpai's beautiful face," Akari: "I-I see..." Chinatsu: "I tried writing Yui-senpai a letter." Akari: "C-Can I read it?" Akari: "What the—?!" Akari: "Why did you draw your own stationery?" Chinatsu: "Isn't homemade stationery more heartfelt and warm?" Akari: "W-Warm?" Chinatsu: "Maybe I'm just not attractive." Akari: "That's not true." Chinatsu: "What was that?" Akari: "Nothing!" Akari: "I think you're cute. You're so devoted to your crush." Chinatsu: "Really? What else?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you smell nice." Chinatsu: "I'm using a new shampoo." Akari: "Your hair is so fluffy, too." Chinatsu: "Thank you, Akari-chan." Akari: "I'm just telling you the truth." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you're so nice. When it comes to Yui-senpai, I get so wound up that" Chinatsu: "I'd be so happy if you'd be my friend forever." Akari: "Of course." Akari: "You're my very special friend." Chinatsu: "Really? Thank you." Chinatsu: "I'll do whatever you want today." Akari: "What? Okay..." Chinatsu: "Ask me for anything." Akari: "I'd like some more tea, then." Chinatsu: "What? You can ask for more than that. Like "let me sleep on your lap," or "massage me."" Akari: "What? Uh... um..." Akari: "T-Then I'll sleep on your lap..." Chinatsu: "How's that?" Akari: "I don't know..." Chinatsu: "You're not satisfied, are you? I'll give you a massage." Akari: "What? You don't need to do that." Akari: "I'm afraid she'll break something..." Chinatsu: "C'mon, I'm good at giving massages. My sister even calls me a professional." Akari: "R-Really? In that case..." Chinatsu: "Here I go." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, stop!" Akari: "She's massaging my ticklish spot!" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, doesn't that feel good? You look as satisfied as my sister." Akari: "Stop! Please, not there!" Akari: "Sh-She'll kill me!" Chinatsu: "Next, I'll massage your lower back." Akari: "That's enough, Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "There's no need to be shy. I'll give you the full body treatment." Akari: "Hooray..." Chinatsu: "How was that?" Akari: "Yeah... You really are a professional..." Chinatsu: "I know, right? Maybe I'll give Yui-senpai a massage sometime." Akari: "I don't think you should do that." Chinatsu: "What else? Do you want anything else? Your ears! How about I clean your ears?" Akari: "What? I've already had enough!" Chinatsu: "There's no need to hold back!" Akari: "No, it's really okay." Chinatsu: "There you go again." Chinatsu: "She said I'm as rough as a road construction crew." Akari: "Yui-chan, Kyoko-chan, come back soon!" Kyoko: "The building you see behind me" Kyoko: "It has a large outdoor bath that's perfect for stargazing." Kyoko: "From your room, you can see the Daimonji fire." Kyoko: "Unlimited drinks!" Kyoko: "The television even has BS." Yui: "You know an awful lot about it." Kyoko: "Huh? I wonder why." Kyoko: "We're here!" Kyoko: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Didn't we come here for a school trip before?" Yui: "What? Our elementary school trip was to Nara. That's a completely different place." Kyoko: "Oh, right." Kyoko: "Let's hit the outdoor bath!" Yui: "I'm not following that segue." Himawari: "Hello." Sister A: "Coming. Oh, Hima-ko." Himawari: "Is Sakurako here?" Sister A: "She just left. She'll probably be back soon." Himawari: "Sorry to bother you." Sister A: "It's fine. Make yourself at home." Sister A: "Are you thirsty? We have tea, milk, and orange juice." Himawari: "Uh, I'll have some tea, then." Sister A: "Sorry, we didn't have any tea. Is orange juice okay?" Himawari: "Yes." Sister A: "Someone's calling me." Sister A: "Mind if I answer?" Himawari: "Sure, go right ahead. What's with that weird ringtone?" Sister A: "Hello? Yeah." Sister A: "What? Really? You forgot your foundation?" Sister A: "Do you remember where you last used it?" Sister A: "Behind the sink. Got it. I'll look for it." Sister A: "I'll bring it to school tomorrow." Sister A: "Okay." Himawari: "Is it a school friend?" Sister A: "No, I'm glad you slept over." Sister A: "We got to talk a lot." Sister A: "Don't say that. It's embarrassing." Sister A: "We slept in the same bed." Sister A: "You're the one who was embarrassed." Sister A: "Don't say "soft" like that." Himawari: "Just what is their relationship?" Sakurako: "I'm home." Himawari: "Welcome back." Sakurako: "Huh? Did I walk into the wrong house?" Sakurako: "My sister's on the phone, huh?" Himawari: "Sakurako, does your sister have a girlfriend?" Sakurako: "I smell oranges. Himawari, you drank my orange juice, didn't you?" Himawari: "Never mind." Sakurako: "I was looking forward to drinking that!" Himawari: "I didn't know!" Sakurako: "Fine, then. I'll have milk. To make up for the juice, do my homework before going." Himawari: "I'll show you how to do it." Sakurako: "I've got my stuff." deshiko: "They're gonna do homework." Sakurako: "Why are you sitting next to me?" Himawari: "I didn't sit next to you because I wanted to. I can't read your textbook if I don't sit here." Sakurako: "I'll turn it around for you." Himawari: "Then it would be hard for you to read." Sakurako: "Geez, you're selfish." Himawari: "Who is?" Sakurako: "We'll do this, then." Both: "My neck hurts." Sakurako: "Actually, I wouldn't mind letting you sit next to me." Himawari: "If you insist." Himawari: "Here, this one's next." Himawari: "When this happens, move the adverb..." Sakurako: "That hits the spot!" Himawari: "Listen to me." Sakurako: "I'm listening. What's that about adjectives?" Himawari: "See? You're not listening." Himawari: "We can't read the characters." Sakurako: "Tell us what it says." deshiko: "Write your name here." Himawari: "Thanks." deshiko: "Mom, where'd you get this?" Mom: "It's a marriage registration form." deshiko: "The wife's name goes here. The husband's here." Sakurako: "I wanna be the wife!" Himawari: "I wanna be the wife!" deshiko: "Play rock, paper, scissors for it." Both: "Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" Himawari: "I don't wanna be the husband!" deshiko: "Oh no..." Sakurako: "Poor Hima-chan." Sakurako: "I know." Sakurako: "You can write your name in the wife's spot." Himawari: "But..." Sakurako: "It's okay, just go like this." Sakurako: "Now we're both the wife." Himawari: "Sa-chan, thank you." Sakurako: "What do we write here?" deshiko: "You write your address here, and your job here." deshiko: "I can't read the rest." Himawari: "Job?" deshiko: "Maybe put what you wanna be when you grow up?" Sakurako: "Okay." Himawari: "When we get married, I'll make you sweets every day." Sakurako: "Really?" Himawari: "Yeah." deshiko: "Sakurako, what are you gonna do for Hima-chan?" Sakurako: "Let's see..." Sakurako: "I'll eat candy every day." Himawari: "I'll make really good stuff." Sakurako: "I love you!" deshiko: "You used to be such good friends." Both: "We were never friends!" Sakurako: "I'd never wanna be friends with her!" Himawari: "I could say the same!" Sakurako: "What was that, you booby demon?" Himawari: "I always help you with your homework!" Sakurako: "So what!" Himawari: "Who's the one always eating my lunch?" Sakurko: "Who?" Himawari: "It's you." Sakurako: "I don't wanna do this anymore." Himawari: "We'll never finish at this rate." Sakurako: "If I don't wanna, I don't wanna." Himawari: "What a shame." Sakurako: "What? Let's eat them!" Himawari: "You can eat them once you've finished your homework." Sakurako: "What?" Sakurako: "What did you make, anyway?" Himawari: "Madeleines." deshiko: "They haven't changed at all. It's not surprising," Both: "What marriage registration?" Chitose: "We're back!" Ayano: "It's like we never left." Chitose: "You're right." Ayano: "I trust you two managed while we were gone?" Ayano: "Here. This is for you." Ayano: "What?" Kyoko: "We're home, you two." Akari: "No!" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai! I've missed you so much!" Kyoko: "Akari, did you lose weight?" Kyoko: "We bought you a gift." Chinatsu: "You're giving us a wooden sword?" Akari: "That sword..." All: "Huh?" Himawari: "I'm your protagonist who's finally arrived, Furutani Himawari. I've been waiting ages for my turn to do the preview. Our next episode will kind of be our final," Himawari: "Don't worry, though. Sakurako will be her usual self."

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Yuru Yuri's starting!" Akari: "This is the episode you've been waiting for..." Akari: "After 23 episodes, the staff has finally realized" Kyoko: "That's great, Akari." Akari: "Yeah, than—" Yui: "Kyoko, the new students start tomorrow." Chinatsu: "We might even get new club members! Let's welcome them with a clean room!" Akari: "Hooray! We'll finally be upperclassmen!" Kyoko: "I just get the feeling this is a waste..." Chinatsu: "Senpai, should I clean this closet?" Yui: "We've never cleaned it before, have we? I think there's tea ceremony equipment in it." Chinatsu: "It's like we're using the Tea Club's room." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, didn't you come to join the Tea Club?" Yui: "All right. I guess we should clean it more often." Akari: "Huh? What's that?" Kyoko: "What?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Yui: "What's this?" Chinatsu: "That's..." Yui: "It's got to be..." Kyoko: "A time machine!" Akari: "A real one?!" Yui: "It must be the theater club's prop or something." Kyoko: "I'll go check everyone's futures!" Chinatsu: "No, I wanna make sure Yui-senpai and I" Yui: "Calm down, you two!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, Chinatsu-chan, don't fight." Yui: "Hey, listen..." shigaki: "Explosions are necessary for invention!" Yui: "A-Akari!" Both: "Akari-chan!" Akari: "Huh? What?" Akari: "No! Someone help me!" Yui: "Akari!" Kyoko: "Akari!" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan!" Kyoko: "Not even a dotted outline! She's really disappeared!" Akari: "Niraka~" Akari: "What's this? A dream?" Akari: "Maybe they left while I was unconscious..." Akari: "That's weird. What's going on? Even my stuff was missing." Akari 2: "I'm hungry..." Akari 1: "See you tomorrow." Kyoko: "Akari, don't oversleep!" Yui: "We'll come get you." Akari 1: "Okay. I can't wait to be a middle schooler!" Akari 2: "What?!" Yui: "See you later." Akari 1: "Okay! I'll be waiting." Akari 2: "Does this mean I really traveled through time?" Akari 2: "No!" Akari 2: "Huh? No!" Akari 2: "I'm hungry... I know! Maybe Kyoko-chan..." Akari 2: "There we go!" Akari 2: "Lightly salted!" Akari 2: "I've calmed down a bit." Akari 2: "But what am I gonna do now?" Akari 2: "How will I fix the time machine?" Yui: "There's only one person at school who'd" Akari 2: "That's it! Nishigaki-sensei! I'll have her fix it tomorrow!" Akari 2: "This is the latest volume of "Witch Girl Mirakurun"!" Akari 2: "In the future, I think I read volume 11 yesterday..." Akari 2: "I've really traveled one year into the past..." Akari 2: "One year ago..." Akari 1: "Kyoko-chan, Yui-chan, thanks for waiting!" Akari 1: "Oh, no! I'm so embarrassed!" Kyoko: "Go for an even stronger gag next time!" Akari: "I take the express to everyone's heart!" Akari: "Nice to meet you! I'm Akaza Akari!" Akari 2: "My terrible middle school debut... After that, Chinatsu-chan joined the club," Akari 2: "I know!" Akari 2: "I'll start by making sure my past self" Akari 2: "I'll wake up early and fix my mistakes!" Akari 2: "I overslept!" Akari 2: "Please let me be on time!" Akari 2: "Plea—" Akari 1: "Kyoko-chan, Yui-chan, thanks for waiting!" Kyoko: "Go for an even stronger gag next time!" Yui: "If we don't hurry, we'll be late." Akari 1: "Okay." Akari 2: "It's okay!" Akane: "Oh, Akari." Akari 2: "Onee-chan!" Akane: "I forgot something... Oh?" Akane: "Huh? Akari... What?" Akane: "That must've been hard." Akari 2: "I'm glad you believe such an unbelievable story." Akane: "I'd believe anything you told me." Akari 2: "Onee-chan..." Akane: "So what will you do next?" Akari 2: "I need to stop myself" Akari 2: "Also, I need to fix the time machine..." Akari 2: "Thanks for the food." Akari 2: "Onee-chan?" Akane: "You're one year older... You've grown..." Akari 2: "Really?" Akane: "About 2 millimeters." Akari 2: "What?" Mc: "This concludes the principal's speech." Akari 2: "I'll write a message... Warning: You're about to make" Akari 2: "You must introduce yourself normally!" Akari 2: "There!" Akari 2: "What? That was quick..." Sakurako: "The principal wouldn't shut up." Himawari: "He took no longer than usual." Akari 2: "Sakurako-chan, Himawari-chan..." Akari 2: "Chinatsu-chan..." Himawari: "Oh my. Someone wrote on this desk." Akari 2: "Hey, Himawari-chan!" Sakurako: "What're you doing to that girl's desk?" Himawari: "Wouldn't it be sad to start your first" Akari 1: "Huh?" Himawari: "Someone wrote on your desk..." Akari 1: "Thanks." Akari 2: "No way!" Girl: "I wanna join the tennis club and" Akari 2: "What should I do? I'll have to do something drastic!" Akari 2: "I keep missing... There." Akari 2: "Her hair ate it!" Himawari: "I'd like to join the student council" Sakurako: "Acting like a goody-two-shoes? What an idiot." Himawari: "What did you say?" Sakurako: "You wanna fight?" Teacher: "Next, Akaza-san." Akari 1: "Yes." Himawari: "How unusual for you to introduce yourself properly." Sakurako: "I got a warning note!" Himawari: "A warning from God?" Akari 2: "I-I still..." Kyoko: "We just hang out and do whatever we want!" Akari 2: "Soon, Chinatsu-chan will get here with her club form... If I tell her the Tea Club's been disbanded," Akari 2: "Sorry, Chinatsu-chan." Akari 2: "She's here!" Akari 2: "Uh, um!" Akari 2: "Su..." Chitose: "Oh? I haven't seen you before." Ayano: "You must be a new student. What are you doing here?" Akari 2: "Uh, um... Well..." Chitose: "You must be lost." Ayano: "There's no helping it." Akari 2: "Hey!" Akari 2: "She came that way..." Akari 2: "Why isn't anything working out? In any case, I need to have Nishigaki-sensei" Akari 2: "I'll find another way..." Akari 2: "Matsumoto-senpai!" shigaki: "Oh, Matsumoto." shigaki: "You want to speak with me?" shigaki: "You really came from the future in this thing?" Akari 2: "I'm not lying! Didn't you make this?" shigaki: "It's not mine." Akari 2: "What?" Akari 2: "If I can't fix this, I'm stuck here..." shigaki: "Okay, okay." Akari 2: "Really? Thank you, Sensei!" Akari 1: "I messed up my introduction," Akane: "That's great." Akari 1: "It's nine. I'd better go to bed." Akari 1: "Goodnight, Onee-chan." Akane: "Goodnight, Akari." Akane: "Welcome home, Akari." Akari 2: "Thanks for the food." Akane: "Looks like you messed up." Akane 2: "Yeah..." Akane: "What will you do now?" Akari 2: "In a week, I'll have one last chance... It'll take some time" Akane: "I see..." Akari 1: "Sorry, but would it be okay" Akane: "What? O-Of course! That would be fine! Look, see?" Akane: "Getting to sleep with my beloved Akari" Akari 2: "O-Onee-chan?" Akari 2: "Oh yeah, I wonder how many years it's been since I was last in here." Akane: "Akari! The bath! The bath is ready!" Akari 2: "Huh? Hooray! I'm so glad since I didn't get to take one yesterday." Akane: "Go warm yourself up." Akari 2: "Okay." Akane: "I'm turning off the light." Akari 2: "Okay." Akane: "Akari... You seem desperate to do so," Akari 2: "Huh? Yeah..." Akari 2: "Everyone says I have no presence..." Akane: "Really? I don't think that's true." Akari 2: "But I wanna do something about it. I think I came to the past" Akane: "I see." Akane: "But are you sure?" Akari 2: "What?" Akane: "You might like your new memories," Akari 2: "But..." Akari 2: "But my next chance is my last one! I want to change myself!" Akane: "I love you no matter who you are." Akane: "Goodnight." Akari 2: "Goodnight, Onee-chan..." Song: "I remember everyone's Smiling faces and close my eyes Sleeping in a warm and fuzzy bed I don't know why, but I cried Our fun conversations Doing nothing special Today passes us by But I want to convey these important feelings I want to tell you I love all of you I want to keep laughing with everyone forever So let's meet up again tomorrow Until then, just for now, goodnight I love all of you I'll see you all tomorrow Until then, just for now, goodnight" Akari 2: "We'll always be together..." shigaki: "I'm sorry. I tried taking it apart," Akari 2: "You're kidding!" shigaki: "I didn't understand it, but I fixed it." Akari 2: "What?" shigaki: "It was out of batteries." Akari 2: "This is my last chance..." Akari 1: "Allow me to announce my strategy" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Akari 1: "M..." Akari 2: "If Sugiura-senpai hadn't interrupted," Akari 2: "I need to keep them away from the room..." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko! You won't get away today!" Chitose: "Now, now, Ayano-chan." Akari 2: "They're here! This is my last chance!" Akari 2: "My last chance!" Akane: "Your old memories will disappear..." Akane: "Disappear... disappear..." Akari2: "Disapp..." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Akari 2: "I can't do it. I can't change my memories with my friends..." Akari 2: "I can't!" Akane: "You ended up not changing the past. Are you okay with that?" Akari 2: "Yeah!" Akari 2: "I'll win back my presence in the future!" shigaki: "We won't tell anyone you visited the past," shigaki: "Do your best." Akari 2: "Thank you, Nishigaki-sensei." Akari 2: "Thank you, Matsumoto-senpai." Akane: "Akari..." Akari 2: "Onee-chan..." Akane: "I was so happy to have two of you," Akane: "And I was so happy to share a bed with you..." Akane: "I couldn't sleep." Akari 2: "Onee-chan?" Akari 2: "See you in the future!" All: "In the future!" Akari: "Akarin!" Akari 2: "I can finally return to the future." Akari 2: "I wonder how everyone's doing..." Akari: "I'm back, everyone." Kyoko: "Akari." Yui: "You're back." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, what'd you bring us?" Akari: "Were you even worried about me?!" Kyoko: "You have no presence, so we forgot." Akari: "You're kidding me!" Akari: "That'd be my luck... Niraka~" Akari: "I'm back, everyone." Akari: "What's this?" Kyoko: "A-Akari..." Akari: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Akari!" Kyoko: "Where have you been?" Yui: "You've been gone a week! Where were you?!" Chinatsu: "We were so worried about you!" Chitose: "I'm so glad you're back." Akari: "Sorry for making you worry. I went to the past for a bit... I should've set it for a week earlier." Akane: "We told them you'd be back soon and not to worry." Akari: "You were all so worried about me..." Akari: "I'm so happy." Kyoko: "This thing really was a time machine?" Akari: "Yeah. It stopped working after I arrived in the past," Kyoko: "Huh? Nishigaki-chan did?" Kyoko: "The end, the end. I felt inspired after watching a movie yesterday," Kyoko: "What'd you think?" Yui: "No." Chinatsu: "No." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, we don't even get to end this episode as being my dream?! If this was our last episode," Akari: "The anime ends for now with the next episode," Akari: "I am your eternal protagonist, Akaza Akari!"

All: "Aka..." Akari: "It's the final episode," Yui: "Wait, it's just a toy?" Kyoko: "I gotcha, Yui!" Yui: "Yeah, yeah. Happy, now?" Kyoko: "Well..." Kyoko: "I was hoping for a reaction more like..." Yui: "Your expectations are too high." Kyoko: "I'm sure Chinatsu-chan would..." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Kyoko: "And Akari..." Akari: "I was so surprised!" Yui: "Those sound normal." Chinatsu: "Hello." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai, the snake is so scary!" Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "You knew it was a toy, didn't you? It's unfair to just hug Yui!" Chinatsu: "What?" Kyoko: "Just once! Just do it one time!" Yui: "She's hopeless. Chinatsu-chan, hug her for a little bit." Chinatsu: "If you insist..." Kyoko: "Seriously?" Chinatsu: "I'm going to hug you, Kyoko-senpai." Chinatsu: "Please grit your teeth." Kyoko: "What's with the stance? That's not what I—" Chinatsu: "Jeez, Kyoko-senpai, you really love playing childish pranks. So, how did Yui-senpai react?" Kyoko: "She was so surprised, she jumped through the ceiling." Yui: "No, I didn't." Akari: "Sorry I'm late." All: "She's crying!" Kyoko: "W-Wait, Akari! It's a toy! Just a toy!" Chinatsu: "It's just one of Kyoko-senpai's pranks!" Yui: "So don't cry!" Akari: "Huh? It's just a toy?" Akari: "Thank goodness! I thought Mr. Snake was" Akari: "I'm glad it wasn't a real snake." Kyoko: "She's so righteous she has a halo!" Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you're blinding!" Akari: "These bring back memories." Kyoko: "I found 'em in my room and took 'em with me." Yui: "I had these, too." Akari: "I used to stick them to myself like this." Chinatsu: "Do these have a proper name?" Yui: "Huh? "Snaps," isn't it?" Akari: "No, they're called "Popping Eyes."" Kyoko: "A new record." Kyoko: "Next time, it'll reach the ceiling." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, this one won't pop. Is it torn?" Kyoko: "Huh? Let me see." Kyoko: "There, there, there, there!" Chinatsu: "Stop that! What're you doing?" Yui: "Is her hair connected to the fourth dimension?" Akari: "Ouch..." Akari: "I finally got it off." Akari: "Huh? What?" Yui: "Akari, here..." Akari: "My forehead!" Chinatsu: "But it's kinda cute, Akari-chan." Kyoko: "Yeah, it's kinda cute." Yui: "Yeah, it's kinda cute." Akari: "I don't know how I'm supposed to feel." Akari: "Maybe it'll be gone by tomorrow? Sakurako-chan and Himawari-chan will laugh at me." Chinatsu: "It's okay. No one will notice." Akari: "What?" Kyoko: "Yui, here I go." Yui: "Don't throw it too hard." Kyoko: "I know. There!" Yui: "Got it." Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Kyoko: "I'll catch one, too! Don't hold back!" Yui: "Huh? Okay. There!" Kyoko: "Look, it's so slimy and gooey." Yui: "I've never touched it before." Chinatsu: "Neither have I." Kyoko: "Here. Here." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, Yui, just try touching it!" Akari: "What? She ignored me?" Akari: "Hooray, it's so gooey!" Kyoko: "We still have fun playing with these." Yui: "Did you bring anything else?" Kyoko: "Yeah. Some string, kendama, tops, chips, and pogs." Yui: "What're you coming to school for, exactly?" Kyoko: "I also have a bamboo copter..." Kyoko: "H-How dare you surprise me!" Yui: "You're the most scared out of everyone." Chitose: "Once upon a time," Kyoko: "I found some edible flowers." Kyoko: "There!" Kyoko: "Gross!" Kaede: "Don't eat the poor flowers..." deshiko: "Kaede, you're such a good girl. Starting today, you can be our little sister." Hanako: "Yeah, we'll trade you for Sakurako." shigaki: "Tell me, mirror..." shigaki: "Who is the fairest of them all?" shigaki: "Who, me?" shigaki: "I see. I knew it. I'd thought that might be the case!" shigaki: "There's no need to flatter me!" shigaki: "I'm kidding, mirror. I know, I know. It's her, isn't it? Her." Mari: "I can't hear the mirror's voice at all." Chitose: "The angry queen instructed the forest's hunter" Chitose: "Thanks for helping out, Chizuru." Chizuru: "Leave it to me." Kyoko: "Hunter, no!" Kyoko: "Sniffle." Kyoko: "Huh?" Chitose: "However, the kind hunter was unable to kill Snow White." Chizuru: "It is no use. I cannot kill Snow White." Kyoko: "No, you were definitely trying to kill me! Those weren't guns a hunter uses," Kyoko: "Wait, Chizurun!" Chizuru: "Get away from me!" Chitose: "Alone in the forest, what will happen to Snow White? It's my turn to go on," shigaki: "Got it. Testing, testing." Mari: "The story's turning sour..." Dwarves: "Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, we are... Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, elves!" shigaki: "Seven elves lived in the woods. Their names were: Tsundere Elf." Ayano: "Who're you calling a tsundere?" shigaki: "Glasses Elf." Chitose: "What a literal name." shigaki: "Retorting Elf." Yui: "What? Do I really do it that much?" shigaki: "Evil Elf." Chinatsu: "Hey, who wrote this script?" shigaki: "Boob Elf." Sakurako: "Don't get ahead of yourself, dammit!" Himawari: "I didn't write the script!" shigaki: "Stupid Elf." Sakurako: "She said stupid! I wonder who she's talking about." shigaki: "The Remarkably Unremarkable Elf." Akari: "That's terrible! Why is my name so long?" Yui: "Would it be better if it were shorter?" Chitose: "You're living up to your name, Retorting Elf." shigaki: "One day, after the elves had finished their work," Kyoko: "Welcome home." Ayano: "Who're you?!" Kyoko: "I'm Snow White. Huh? Which part's my last name," Yui: "Dunno." Ayano: "That's my pudding!" Kyoko: "Huh? Oh, sorry." Kyoko: "Here, you can have the last bite! Say, "ah~"" Ayano: "Th-This... Th-This is an i-indirect k-kiss..." Kyoko: "Come on. Say, "ah!"" Ayano: "I s-suppose I have no choice." Sakurako: "Delicious!" Himawari: "What in the world are you doing?!" Sakurako: "What? Why are you mad?" Himawari: "I'm not mad at all! You just can't take a hint!" Sakurako: "Huh?" Kaede: "Don't fight, you two." deshiko: "Don't worry. They're not fighting." Hanako: "Sakurako's stupidity gives Hima-nee a lot of grief, too." Yui: "What are we doing..." Chinatsu: "Are you okay?" Chitose: ""If you don't want it indirectly," Chitose: ""It's sweeter than pudding..." Just like that..." Yui: "Keep it together! Don't take off your glasses and fantasize now!" Chitose: "I have no regrets..." Yui: "Glasses Elf!" Chinatsu: "Don't die!" Kyoko: "So anyway, that's why I'll be staying here from now on." Ayano: "Because why?" Akari: "Hooray, we have a new friend! Nice to meet you, Snow White!" shigaki: "And so, without further discussion," Akane: "It's okay, Akari. No matter how much you're cut from each frame," Tomoko: "You're always so well prepared, Akane-chan." Kyoko: "Is dinner ready?" Sakurako: "Is it ready yet?" Chinatsu: "Why don't you two do some work?" Akari: "Snow White, Sakurako-chan, help with the chores." Both: "Huh?" Himawari: "Why do you two look so surprised?" shigaki: "And so the kind elves and Snow White" shigaki: "Mirror, now that Snow White is dead," shigaki: "What? Snow White is still alive? Fine, then. I will kill her myself. After that, I'll start a new experiment." Kyoko: "Gross!" shigaki: "What a beautiful girl. How would you like a freshly picked" Kyoko: "Thank you!" Kyoko: "This freshly picked tomato is delicious!" shigaki: "That wasn't a fresh tomato." Chitose: "Having eaten the poisoned tomato given to her" Hanako: "Tomato?" deshiko: "Defective section?" Ayano: "Snow White, why did you have to die?! I told you not to take food from strangers! Why... why..." Himawari: "Wh-What amazing acting." Chitose: "I wonder if that's really acting." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-sen... I mean, Snow White. Leave everything to me and rest in peace..." Sakurako: "Huh? Isn't one of us missing? The Remarkably Unremarkable Elf, wasn't it?" Akari: "I'm right here, okay?! It's one of the other elves that isn't here!" Chinatsu: "Snow White will depart for heaven from this church." All: "Huh? Church?" Himawari: "I thought it was a graveyard..." Yui: "I'm a prince from the neighboring kingdom. I got lost and ended up he—" Yui: "What the heck?!" Tomoko: "Staying up late every night really paid off, Chinatsu." Tomoko: "What a beautiful drawing. Nothing less from my little sister." Yui: "So this is the Snow White I've heard so much about." Yui: "I cannot believe she is dead..." Kyoko: "Stop laughing." Chitose: "Snow White ate a poisoned tomato and died." Sakurako: "She ate it all by herself? Unfair!" Himawrai: "It was poisoned." Yui: "Snow White," Yui: "At least let me give you a parting kiss." Both: "What?!" Chinatsu: "Wait, what're you doing, Prince?!" Yui: "Well, that should be enough." Yui: "I'll hit you." Chinatsu: "No!" Chinatsu: "No!" Kyoko: "Snow White is alive!" Yui: "Good grief." Akari: "You're so mean, Chinatsu-chan." shigaki: "Like a zombie, Snow White has risen again." shigaki: "This calls for something drastic. Yes. I don't actually want to do this," Ayano: "Your expression isn't convincing me of that." shigaki: "Backdrop change! I thought this might happen," shigaki: "Well? Are you surprised?" Kyoko: "That's amazing!" Yui: "A robot? That's ridiculous." Sakurako: "Huh? I don't think that face was on the original backdrop." Himawari: "Quiet! Sakurako, quiet!" Akari: "It looked this way! It's terrifying!" Chinatsu: "What? But it's so cute." Ayano: "President, please stop this craziness!" Chitose: "Even I know what the president just said. So, Ayano-chan, shall we give up?" Ayano: "You give up too easily!" Sakurako: "In that case, fire! Boob missiles!" Himawari: "I can't do that!" shigaki: "Go, backdrop robot! You must defeat Snow White!" Kyoko: "Why are you running with us, Queen?" shigaki: "I made it in a hurry," Ayano: "Please don't make robots like that!" deshiko: "Honestly." Chinatsu: "A-Akari-chan?" Akari: "Mr. Robot!" Akari: "Please don't do this anymore!" Yui: "It's too dangerous, Akari! Run!" Akari: "It's okay!" Akari: "Please, Mr. Robot!" Yui: "She lost. I think she fainted." Ayano: "It... It stopped?" Chitose: "Did Akaza-san get through to it?" shigaki: "No, it's out of batteries." Yui: "It was running on batteries?" Chitose: "Sensei, maybe you should make it a hybrid next time." Akari: "Mr. Robot! You understood how I felt!" Akari: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Akari taught us the pointlessness of fighting..." shigaki: "It seems I've lost, Snow White." shigaki: "Let's all live in peace from now on." Kyoko: "Yeah!" Kyoko: "Thanks, Akari... You'll live on forever in our hearts." Akari: "I'm not dea—" Akane: "You're brilliant, Akari!" Audience: "Encore! Encore! Encore!" Sisters: "Behind you, behind you!"

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey!" Akari: "Yuru Yuri's starting!" Akari: "I'm so glad to see all of you again. I look forward to..." Kyoko: "I can't take it anymore..." Kyoko: "I can't lake it anymore." Kyoko: "Sorry, forget I said that." Yui: "Just focus. You're going to get called on in math class." Kyoko: "Yeah, I will! The teacher always picks me!" Kyoko: "But I'm never picked to win the lottery." Yui: "Yeah." Kyoko: "What would you do if you won 300 million yen? And you can't say you'd save it." Yui: "I'd go on a trip with everyone and eat delicious food." Kyoko: "Yui, I love you." Yui: "Thanks. But you know, now that I really think about it," Kyoko: "I have things I want." Yui: "Like what?" Kyoko: "I want to build an arcade under my house! On the national rankings, you'd see "Toshino's House!" It'd be so cool!" Yui: "I could see that." Kyoko: "I know, right?" Kyoko: "But I've never won any lotteries." Yui: "Have you made any progress on your homework?" Kyoko: "Nope." Kyoko: "Hey, Yui." Kyoko: "Do you... love me?" Yui: "I do." Kyoko: "Really? All right, then let me see your homewo—" Yui: "No." Kyoko: "Why not?" Yui: "I like you, so I don't want to hinder your learning." Kyoko: "Darn it! Love is rough." Yui: "Just do it." Kyoko: "Okay." Kyoko: "It never ends!" Yui: "Lunch is gonna be over in five minutes." Kyoko: "There's no time!" Kyoko: "If I beat you at rock-paper-scissors, will you show me your homework?" Yui: "Oh, fine. You're out of time, anyway." Kyoko: "All right!" Kyoko: "Here we go. Rock, paper, scissors!" Yui: "I don't think that pose was necessary." Kyoko: "Just forget about it..." Kyoko: "Rock, paper, scissors!" Kyoko: "By the way..." Yui: "You can't focus on anything, can you?" Kyoko: "We haven't changed at all, have we?" Yui: "I guess not." Kyoko: "But..." Kyoko: "It's better that way." Yui: "Why?" Kyoko: "Because you'll always look after me." Yui: "You need to grow up a little." Kyoko: "Are you embarrassed?" Yui: "Shut up." Kyoko: "Our friendship is rock solid." Yui: "Yeah, yeah." Kyoko: "Let me see your homewo—" Yui: "No." Kyoko: "Let me see it!" Yui: "No." Kyoko: "I'm out." Akari: "I lost again." Chinatsu: "Akari-chan, you're terrible at Old Maid." Kyoko: "Akari, you're so easy to read." Kyoko: "When someone starts to take a card that's not the Old Maid..." Kyoko: "And when someone's about to take the Old Maid..." Akari: "Is it that obvious?" Akari: "This one!" Akari: "The Old Maid!?" Akari: "I don't believe it!" Kyoko: "Yui, you're good! You didn't lose once today." Yui: "Really?" Kyoko: "What makes someone good at Old Maid? Is it luck?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai doesn't let her emotions show on her face. Her poker face is so cool!" Kyoko: "I see... Poker face..." Kyoko: "Poker face..." Kyoko: "Old Maid..." Kyoko: "Poker face..." Kyoko: "Old Face!" Yui: "You're proud of that?" Kyoko: "Mandarin oranges!" Yui: "And don't give me any weird nicknames." Akari: "Speaking of which, none of us have nicknames." Kyoko: "Then I'm Super Sexy Commando Kyoko." Yui: "Super Sexy Commando Kyoko, pass me an orange." Kyoko: "Roger." Akari: "Not that sort of nickname!" Akari: "For example..." Kyoko: "You come up with something, then." Akari: "Really?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, you're..." Kyoko: "Kyoppi?" Akari: "Yui-chan, you're..." Yui: "Yu..." Kyoko: "Kyoppi and Yuppi." Yui: "Sounds like a comedy team." Kyoko: "Thank you! We're Kyoppi and Yuppi. Okay! Today we'll be performing a" Akari: "Sounds interesting." Kyoko: "Daruma otoshi!" Kyoko: "Googly eyes." Kyoko: "Akari." Akari: "Chinachu." Kyoko: "Empty husks." Yui: "That's not a joke." Kyoko: "Go throw these out." Yui: "You do it." Kyoko: "Thank you very much." Chinatsu: "Kyoppi's the only one who said anything." Kyoko: "But we get paid the same amount." Chinatsu: "Yuppi is so cute." Yui: "What?" Chinatsu: "What's my nickname?" Akari: "Huh?" Chinatsu: "China!" Chinatsu: "Hey, everyone! Thanks for coming out to see me today!" All: "China! China! China!" Chinatsu: "It sounds like an idol's name. So cute!" Akari: "Hey, give me a nickname." Akari: "Aka... Aka..." Kyoko: "Aka Baby!" Akari: "Um... Could you choose something else?" Kyoko: "I can't think of anything." Kyoko: "The Red One!" Kyoko: "Pink Breath!" Kyoko: "The Ebony Queen!" Yui: "You're just saying the color of our hair." Kyoko: "But I think focusing on colors would be good." Kyoko: "Amusement Club Red! Yellow! Black! Pink!" Yui: "What are we, the Power Rangers?" Kyoko: "Our enemy is the Student Council!" Yui: "Yellow hasn't been eating curry lately." Kyoko: "Student Council Purple! White! Blue! Light Brown!" Yui: "Hey, that last one..." Kyoko: "Oh, man. Not only will it be live action," Yui: "No, we can't. We can't do either of those things." Akari: "Hey, have any of you had nicknames before?" Kyoko: "I have. Kyo-chan, Ke-chan, Toshinon, Toshibo." Chinatsu: "China-chan and Chinacchi, I guess." Akari: "You two have nicknames? Lucky ducks!" Yui: "I've never had a nickname." Kyoko: "You have one already, Akari! Akarin!" Akari: "I don't like that one!" Kyoko: "You're so selfish." Kyoko: "Starting today, you're Selfishman." Akari: "No!" Chinatsu: "What about names of fruit?" Kyoko: "I'm Lemon-chan!" Kyoko: "Peach!" Kyoko: "Apple!" Akari: "That's sort of cute." Three: "Black..." Three: "A black fruit?" Kyoko: "(Rotten) Banana." Yui: "I heard that." Kyoko: "Ah well..." Kyoko: "None of us are very good at naming things." Yui: "It's devastating." Chinatsu: "I thought China was cute..." Kyoko: "Forget the nicknames. Let's play Concentration." Chinatsu: "I won't lose this time!" Akari: "I might be able to win!" Kyoko: "Old Face, pass me some tissues." Yui: "Forget that nickname, too." Ayano: "We're organizing the class roster today, aren't we?" Chitose: "We'd better work hard." Himawari: "No! Sakurako, no!" Ayano: "Sounds like Omuro-san and Furutani-san are already here." Sakurako: "You can't escape now." Himawari: "But... But this is so sudden..." Sakurako: "More... Deeper..." Himawari: "Wait! Don't go so deep..." Sakurako: "It's so... tight..." Himawari: "Sakurako..." Sakurako: "It's... It's coming!" Himawari: "It came out!" Ayano: "What? Huh?" Chitose: "Oh my." Ayano: "What are you two..." Himawari: "Senpai, watch out! Look down!" Ayano: "Huh?" Sakurako: "It went back to hiding." Chitose: "I see. You were using the broom to guide a snake, that had crawled" Ayano: "What is a snake doing here at this time of year? Shouldn't they be hibernating?" Chitose: "Maybe it snuck in here because it's warm. By the way..." Chitose: "Furutani-san, what are you doing on the table?" Himawari: "I don't like snakes..." Chitose: "Omuro-san, you don't mind snakes?" Sakurako: "Nope! I don't like to touch them, though." Himawari: "There must be something wrong with you if you don't mind snakes." Sakurako: "They're way better than cockroaches." Himawari: "No way! If I had a choice, I'd choose cockroaches any day!" Sakurako: "No, that's crazy." Sakurano: "That's why your boobs are so big!" Himawari: "That has nothing to do with this!" Ayano: "Just do something about that snake." Chitose: "Don't you think Toshino-san would be good at this?" Kyoko: "I got the snake!" Chitose: "Shall I go get her?" Ayano: "Of course not! If she finds out I'm afraid of snakes..." Sakurako: "Ikeda-senpai, you're not scared?" Chitose: "I'm fine." Himawari: "Then can you catch it—" Chitose: "Sorry, I'm busy." Kyoko: "Snakes aren't scary." Kyoko: "Don't worry. I'm here." Ayano: "Kyoko." Chitose: "This is the best." Sakurako: "You all disgust me! I, Sakurako-sama," Himawari: "Who're you impersonating?" Sakurako: "Hey! Come on out, snake!" Himawari: "Sakurako, you're so strong." Sakurako: "Come out! Come..." Himawari: "I knew that would happen." Sakurako: "Then you do it!" Sakurako: "Fine then, I'll just grab you with my hand!" Ayano: "Isn't that dangerous?" Sakurako: "I'll be fine as long as it doesn't bite me." Sakurko: "Why... you... little..." Himawari: "Heads up." Sakurako: "You should've said that earlier! Now I'm angry! Prepare yourself, snake!" Himawari: "She's angry at the wrong person." Sakurako: "Got it!" Ayano: "Good work, Omuro-san." Chitose: "Amazing." Sakurako: "It'd be a waste to just let it go. I'll go show Akari-chan!" Himawari: "What? Wait..." Chitose: "Does Akaza-san even like snakes?" Himawari: "No, I think she just wants to show her..." Sakurako: "Akari-chan!" Sakurako: "Look, a snake!" Akari: "Sakurako-chan! You shouldn't have come in..." Sakurako: "What are you doing?" Akari: "Um..." Chinatsu: "The snake! Sakurako-chan, the snake!" Chitose: "Omuro-san's still not back." Himawari: "She must've gotten herself into trouble." Caster: "This year's influenza is spreading rapidly. Make sure you take care not to get infected." Chinatsu: "It's really getting around." Kyoko: "My character song?" Yui: "Hey." Chinatsu: "It sounds like it's been going around my sister's school, too." Yui: "We have to protect ourselves against getting sick." Akari: "What are we supposed to do?" Kyoko: "Don't go outside until spring! Nice idea!" Yui: "Don't be ridiculous." Akari: "Eat a balanced diet?" Chinatsu: "Balanced nutrition." Kyoko: "Yui, how are you doing with that?" Yui: "Since I live alone, my diet might be a little off balance." Chinatsu: "What? Senpai, you have to fix that! What if you catch a cold?" Yui: "Yeah, I'll be careful." Yui: "Kyoko, I bet you eat tons of rice. You probably get extra helpings." Kyoko: "How rude!" Yui: "You do eat a lot." Akari: "I guess you should also make sure to get plenty of sleep." Kyoko: "Akari, do you get enough sleep?" Akari: "I go to bed at nine every night," Kyoko: "You always go to bed so early." Chinatsu: "I get a fair amount of sleep." Yui: "Sounds like you're all sleeping enough." Yui: "Though Kyoko seems the type who'd stay up late." Kyoko: "I'm sure you think I do. But the truth is..." Chinatsu: "The truth is...?" Kyoko: "That's exactly right." Yui: "We knew that..." Kyoko: "I do try to go to sleep." Kyoko: "...but before I know it, I've read every volume." Kyoko: "And it's morning." Kyoko: "I notice because the birds start tweeting." Chinatsu: "That's how?" Chinatsu: "I'm surprised you can make it through school without sleep." Kyoko: "I know, right?" Yui: "Are you kidding me?" Kyoko: "You knew? I'm always surprised when I wake up and school's over." Akari: "If you sleep that much, it's no wonder you can't sleep at night." Akari: "But Yui-chan, I'm surprised you don't stay up all night." Yui: "Really?" Kyoko: "She seems like the type who'd play games all night." Yui: "I play games in the morning." Chinatsu: "In the morning?" Yui: "I get up early to play games. It helps me wake up. It clears my head, too." Chinatsu: "I see." Yui: "What were we talking about?" Akari: "Preventing colds." Yui: "Right..." Akari: "I guess washing your hands and gargling are also a must." Kyoko: "Hand-gargle." Yui: "Why would you shorten that?" Kyoko: "Hand-gargling's important. Let's all hand-gargle!" Yui: "That'll never catch on. Who are you even talking to?" Yui: "Anyway, Kyoko doesn't seem like the type who'd catch a cold." Chinatsu: "You're right." Kyoko: "Hey." Kyoko: "Cold prevention is important!" Kyoko: "Let's form a Cold Prevention Team here and now!" Yui: "You're awfully spirited, considering how cold it is." Kyoko: "I can't play if I'm sick. I'd be bored!" Yui: "So that's it." Kyoko: "First, make sure you're getting enough nutrients! Second, get enough sleep!" Yui: "You should fix your sleep schedule." Kyoko: "I'll try!" Kyoko: "Also, dehydration isn't good, so use a humidifier." Chinatsu: "They say it's good to wear a mask, too." Kyoko: "Fantastic idea, Squad Member Chinatsu!" Kyoko: "Finally, there's hand-gargling! Got it?" Yui: "I told you, that'll never catch on." Akari: "I'll be careful." Chinatsu: "Me, too." Kyoko: "Good! Sounds like you all understand! Now that that's settled, Captain Kyoko's going to sleep." Chinatsu: "They say you'll catch a cold if you sleep under a kotatsu." Kyoko: "You're right!" Kyoko: "Then where should I sleep?" Yui: "Go sleep at home." Kyoko: "Aww! Don't say that, Yui-tan." Akari: "Moving around might wake you up." Kyoko: "That's it!" Yui: "Is everyone okay with milk tea?" Chinatsu: "Yes." Yui: "What are you doing?" Kyoko: "Air hula hoop." Kyoko: "Allow me to explain! Moving as though you are actually using a hula hoop" Kyoko: "Probably!" Akari: "It's delicious." Kyoko: "Furthermore, it even prevents colds!" Yui: "No, it doesn't." Both: "What?" Akari: "Kyoko-chan's sick?" Yui: "Yeah, so she took the day off." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai's sick..." Akari: "But she was so passionate about cold prevention yesterday..." Akari: "Let's all go visit her! I'm sure she's feeling down since she got sick." Yui: "You're right. Let's go." Kyoko: "Sorry, everyone." Akari: "Kyoko-chan, are you okay?" Kyoko: "I'm not doing so well..." Chinatsu: "You seem to be in pain." Yui: "How did you get sick?" Yui: "You were so into cold prevention." Kyoko: "Well, after I came home yesterday... I thought it would stop me from catching a cold," Yui: "Forget your cold. You need a cure for stupidity." Kyoko: "Indeed..." Kyoko: "Also, hand-gargling." Yui: "You're still saying that?" Kyoko: "The wild protagonist, Toshino Kyoko, is here. I kind of liked "hand-gargling.""

All: "Akarin!" Akari: "Hey! Another UFO? Bun bazooka!" Akari: "I did it!" Akari: "Let's take it from the top! Yuru Yuri's start..." Sakurako: "I'm so tired!" Himawari: "I bet you were up late last night." Sakurako: "Once I started reading The Glass Mask, I couldn't stop." Himawari: "You're hopeless." Sakurako: "Oh, right. I'm gonna sleep through first period," Himawari: "No." Sakurako: "What? Why not? Himawari, you're so mean!" Himawari: "How does that make me mean?" Sakurako: "Because it is mean." Himawari: "Isn't it normal for people to take their own notes?" Sakurako: "Fine, you booby monster!" Himawari: "You think name calling will make me show you my notes?" Sakurako: "Monster, monster, booby monster, go!" Sakurako: "This is actually kinda fun!" Himawari: "You don't say." Sakurako: "Isobe fried fish cakes! Isobe fried fish cakes!" Himawari: "Sakurako, shut up." Sakurako: "But I like them." Akari: "Isobe fries are so good." Sakurako: "Hey, Himawari, my lunch." Himawari: "Yes, yes. I'll go get it." Sakurako: "These are mine!" Himawari: "Hey..." Chinatsu: "It's seaweed rice today." Sakurako: "Oh my God!" Akari: "What's wrong?" Sakurako: "Forgot chopsticks..." Chinatsu: "That's barely a sentence..." Akari: "I have some disposable ones." Sakurako: "Akari-chan, thank you! You're so much better than Himawari! How mean to only bring chopsticks for yourself!" Himawari: "Did I hear you say you don't want your Isobe fries, Sakurako? Then allow me..." Sakurako: "I'm sorry!" Akari: "What do you want to do today?" Sakurako: "What did we do yesterday?" Himawari: "We played five-character shiritori." Chinatsu: "What should we do?" Sakurako: "Let's all speak English!" Akari: "That sounds fun!" Sakurako: "Starting now, only English!" Sakurako: "Start!" Akari: "D-Delicious!" Sakurako: "Oh, delicious!" Akari: "Delicious, delicious!" Chinatsu: "Yes, delicious!" Sakurako: "Isobe fries delicious!" Himawari: "All you're saying is "delicious."" Sakurako: "Can you do any better?" Himawari: "Of course I can!" Himawari: "This is rice." Sakurako: "I know that!" Himawari: "I do just fine in class..." Akari: "But it's hard to actually speak it." Akari: "I thought I was gonna choke!" Chinatsu: "What should we do next?" Sakurako: "Let's say cheesy things." Chinatsu: "Cheesy?" Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan, your eyes are beautiful. They're like stars twinkling in the night sky." Chinatsu: "Oh, that sort of thing." Akari: "Penne arrabiata." Sakurako: "That's not really the same." Himawari: "What sort of game is this?" Sakurako: "Oh, Himawari!" Sakurako: "Gimme!" Chinatsu: "I can't really think of any new games." Akari: "We've already done everything." Sakurako: "Then it's time for this!" Akari: "What's that?" Sakurako: "I made it during class. Roll it." Himawari: "An embarrassing story?" Sakurako: "Okay, you gotta tell us one." Akari: "I see." Chinatsu: "Once, when I slept over at Yui-senpai's house..." Akari: "You wish you stood out more?" Akari: "It's okay, Kyoko-chan." Akari: "If you work hard, you'll be like me in no time." Chinatsu: "...is what Akari-chan said in her sleep." Akari: "That's an embarrassing story about me!" Sakurako: "You're next, Akari-chan." Akari: "A pun..." Akari: "Y-You can tune a piano... ...but you can't tuna fish!" Akari: "This is so embarrassing!" Sakurako: "Now you have another embarrassing story you can tell!" Akari: "That's not a good thing!" Sakurako: "Himawari, you're next." Himawari: "...Win?" Himawari: "What does that mean?" Sakurako: "Himawari won, huh?" Sakurako: "Here you go." Himawari: "Chocolate?" Himawari: "How unexpectedly normal, coming from you." Sakurako: "To be honest, I dunno how old that chocolate is." Himawari: "Hey! Why would you give this to someone? If I had eaten this and gotten sick..." Himawari: "Is that what it means to win?" Sakurako: "I'm next." Akari: "A story about seasons?" Sakurako: "Isn't it almost Valentine's Day?" Akari: "A question?" Himawari: "That's not a story." Sakurako: "Who's planning to give someone chocolate?" Akari: "Chinatsu-chan, you're giving Yui-chan chocolate, aren't you?" Chinatsu: "Is it that obvious?" Chinatsu: "How embarrassing!" Sakurako: "What about you, Akari-chan?" Akari: "I'm going to buy lots and give some to everyone." Akari: "What about you, Himawari-chan?" Himawari: "Huh? I don't have any plans." Akari: "What about you, Sakurako-chan?" Sakurako: "I buy some every year," Himawari: "How very like you." Sakurako: "Are you calling me a fatty?" Akari: "Thanks for the food." Chinatsu: "Me too." Sakurako: "That was quick! I still haven't finished my Isobe fries!" Himawari: "You're just slow." Akari: "Fifth period is P.E." Himawari: "Then let's get to the gym a little early and play." Sakurako: "Hey, wait. Don't you know what will happen if you leave without me?" Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "Chop! Chop! Chopstick!" Himawari: "Just hurry up and eat." Himawari: "A scarf?" Chinatsu: "Yeah! I thought you might know how to knit one." Himawari: "Well, I do..." Chinatsu: "Really?" Chinatsu: "Could you teach me how to make one?" Himawari: "Sure." Chinatsu: "Hooray! Are you free this weekend?" Himawari: "Yes." Sakurako: "Himawari!" Sakurako: "I got an extra assignment because I forgot my homework. It's due next Monday. Could you help me with it this weekend?" Himawari: "Unfortunately, I just agreed" Sakurako: "What? Really?" Chinatsu: "Sorry, can I borrow Himawari-chan for a bit?" Sakurako: "I don't need Himawari. You can take her." Himawari: "That's no way to talk about someone." Chinatsu: "Could you help me shop for yarn" Himawari: "Yes, of course." Akari: "Sakurako-chan, you're all by yourself? Where's Himawari-chan?" Sakurako: "She went shopping for yarn with Chinatsu-chan." Akari: "I see." Sakurako: "No, I'm not lonely." Akari: "Really?" Sakurako: "I was just gonna have her help me with my assignment. What am I gonna do?" Akari: "Do you want me to help you?" Sakurako: "Really?" Akari: "Yeah, sure." Sakurako: "Okay, then let's go to my house!" Sakurako: "Himawari, I'm thirsty..." Sakurako: "Oh, sorry. It's a habit." Akari: "Don't worry about it." Sakurako: "I don't get this! Boobs!" Sakurako: "Oh, sorry! It's a habit!" Akari: "Huh? It's fine." Akari: "Do you need me to explain anything?" Sakurako: "Yeah, this part..." Akari: "Oh, you do this like this... Like this..." Akari: "And you get this." Himawari: "Sakurako, you always make this kind of mistake here." Himawari: "First, you need to stop doing that." Himawari: "Also, I've made a list of the words you always get wrong." Himawari: "You should review these." Sakurako: "Of course. Himawari's good at teaching me..." Akari: "Like that. Do you get it?" Sakurako: "Sorry, I wasn't listening." Akari: "Listen to me..." Sakurako: "Himawari! You're my personal tutor!" Himawari: "Where did that come from?" Sakurako: "You should be happy I chose you. So, next Saturday..." Himawari: "Unfortunately, I have plans" Sakurako: "Again?" Himawari: "It takes quite a while to make a scarf." Himawari: "I'll be meeting with Yoshikawa-san after school for some time." Sakurako: "After school, too?" Akari: "Now, now, Sakurako-chan. Himawari-chan will come back in a few days. Cheer up..." Sakurako: "I'm cheerful!" Akari: "Really? Well, that's good..." Chinatsu: "So, when I try to add more yarn," Himawari: "You should add yarn at the start of a new layer." Chinatsu: "Is that right? I'll have to untie it and do it again. I hope I'll finish in time..." Himawari: "You will. You're learning quickly, Yoshikawa-san." Chinatsu: "Really? Okay, I can do this!" Akari: "Sakurako-chan, isn't this boiled pumpkin good?" Sakurako: "I hate pumpkin." Himawari: "Being a picky eater stunts your growth." Sakurako: "Shut up! You don't like peppers, Himawari!" Akari: "Sakurako-chan, I don't like celery. It's okay." Sakurako: "I'm going to the bathroom." Himawari: "What's wrong with her?" Kyoko: "It's a Valentine's sale!" Yui: "Mind if we stop in?" Kyoko: "Sure." Store A: "Welcome." Kyoko: "Hey." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "Am I gonna get something from you this year, too?" Yui: "I guess." Kyoko: "Then I want this." Yui: "That's not how this holiday works." Kyoko: "Really?" Kyoko: "Hey." Yui: "What?" Kyoko: "If you're giving me something, I want this." Yui: "I told you, it's not the same if you make a request..." Yui: "That doesn't even have anything to do with Valentine's Day." Ayano: "This one... Or maybe this one... Actually, give me this one!" Chitose: "You're really fired up." Ayano: "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm going to eat it myself." Chitose: "Really?" Ayano: "Yes!" Akari: "This one's nice. Maybe I'll get this." Girl A: "Excuse me, could I have this one?" Store B: "Certainly." Akari: "What? That was the last one? Then I guess I'll get this one or this one..." Girl B: "This one, please!" Akari: "What?" Girl C: "This one for me!" Akari: "What?" Store B: "Certainly." Akari: "You're kidding!" Sakurako: "Let's see..." Sakurako: "Um, this is..." Sakurako: "Sheesh!" Sakurako: "Shoot! How come Himawari's having all the fun? I can have fun, too!" Sakurako: "Okay, go!" Himawari: "If you only use your special attacks," Sakurako: "Shut up!" Himawari: "I'll make you dinner, so stop eating so many snacks." Sakurako: "Shut up, shut up!" Sakurako: "No fun, no fun, no fun!" Sakurako: "Why do I feel so sick?" Sakurako: "Chinatsu-chan... I mean, Himawari! It's fine if you wanna teach Chinatsu-chan to knit a scarf," Sakurako: "I hate scarves!" Chitose: "Why don't you just give it to her?" Ayano: "What? What are you talking about? Chitose, you've got the wrong idea!" Chitose: "Really?" Ayano: "That's right!" Yui: "Here's your chocolate." Kyoko: "Thanks. I have some for you, too!" Yui: "It's just a bar of chocolate." Kyoko: "Huh? Is that chocolate? Is that for me?" Ayano: "What?" Yui: "Hey, don't be so greedy." Chitose: "Oh, yes! Ayano-chan accidentally bought too much," Chitose: "Right?" Ayano: "Huh?" Kyoko: "If you've got extras, I'll take them! Welcome, welcome!" Ayano: "I suppose I have no choice! If you want it that badly, you can have it, Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Thanks." Kyoko: "Hey Yui, give me half of the chocolate I just gave you." Yui: "I thought you might say that." Ayano: "I don't want it!" Kyoko: "Just take it." Kyoko: "See you later." Chitose: "Aren't you glad you gave it to her, Ayano-chan?" Ayano: "I told you, that's not it! Anyway, here." Chitose: "Huh?" Ayano: "This is to thank you for everything you do for me." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you're so nice..." Ayano: "But make sure you eat it at home by yourself!" Chitose: "Huh? Why?" Chinatsu: "Yui-senpai!" Yui: "Chinatsu-chan." Chinatsu: "I made you some Valentine's Day chocolates and this scarf! Please accept them!" Yui: "Is this a scarf?" Chinatsu: "What are you talking about? Of course it's a scarf." Yui: "Did you make this chocolate, too?" Chinatsu: "I did!" Yui: "Okay..." Kyoko: "Chinatsu-chan, where's my chocolate?" Chinatsu: "I thought you might say that," Chinatsu: "Here." Kyoko: "Hooray!" Kyoko: "They're pretty good!" Chinatsu: "What do you mean, "pretty good"? Well, I wasn't trying very hard when I made those..." Yui: "The chocolate is okay..." Chinatsu: "I put a lot of effort into making your chocolate, Yui-senpai." Yui: "How does this happen when she tries harder?" Yui: "Himawari-chan!" Himawari: "Yoshikawa-san." Chinatsu: "I gave Yui-senpai the scarf! She was really happy!" Himawari: "Really? That's great." Chinatsu: "Thank you so much!" Himawari: "It was nothing." Sakurako: "I've had enough." Himawari: "Sakurako?" Sakurako: "I've had enough! Why? Why?" Sakurako: "Why are you spending all of your time with Chinatsu-chan?" Sakurako: "Have you forgotten it's your job to check my homework?" Himawari: "Why are you angry?" Sakurako: "I don't know! I don't know why, but I feel so sick! Lately, when I see you and Chinatsu-chan together," Himawari: "Hit me?" Himawari: "Could she be..." Himawari: "Are you jealous?" Sakurako: "I'm not talking about food!" Himawari: "You can have this." Sakurako: "Huh?" Himawari: "I made this scarf while teaching Yoshikawa-san." Himawari: "Now that I'm done with it, you can have it." Himawari: "The chocolate's a bonus." Himawari: "I suppose I have no choice." Sakurako: "That's my servant! I'll work you hard!" Himawari: "Who are you calling your servant?" Sakurako: "Hey, Himawari." Himawari: "What?" Sakurako: "Check my homework today." Himawari: "Already?" Sakurako: "It's been building up since you were gone." Himawari: "Have you ever thought about doing it yourself?" Sakurako: "I tried, but I can't do it. It's way faster when you show me how to do it." Himawari: "Faster?" Himawari: "Well, fine." Sakurako: "Hooray!" Himawari: "You're opening that here?" Sakurako: "I'm hungry." Himawari: "Sheesh." Sakurako: "Oh, I didn't give you any chocolate... Should I give you something on White Day?" Himawari: "You don't need to give me anything." Sakurako: "Really? Lucky me!" Himawari: "Your mouth is covered in chocolate." Sakurako: "Here you go." Himawari: "That's right. You've already given me something." Sakurako: "Um..." Sakurako: "This scarf makes my neck itch." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, thanks for the chocolate." Chizuru: "Nee-san, the bath's ready." Chitose: "Chizuru!" Chitose: "Chizuru." Chizuru: "The demon is back... Well, whatever..." Akari: "I gave out lots of chocolate, but I didn't receive any." Sakurako: "Your lunchtime protagonist is the" Sakurako: "What should I give Himawari on White Day? You're supposed to give people" Sakurako: "I know! I'll give her lots of fish cakes!"

All: "Akarin!" Mech: "Hey." Mech: "Yuru Yuri's starting." Akari: "What's this?" : "Sorry, it's me, Nishigaki. Toshino asked me to make this." Akari: "Kyoko-chan!" Mecha: "Mecharin." Akari: "What is this thing?" Mecha: "Mecharin... Mecha... Mecha..." Akari: "Cameraman?" Mech: "Mecharin." Chitose: "Here." Ayano: "Thanks." Kyoko: "What's up with that super-cute sneeze?" Ayano: "Shut up. I have allergies." Yui: "There's 10 times more pollen in the air compared to last year." Ayano: "I'm in Hell..." Yui: "Chitose, are you okay?" Chitose: "I'm fine. If I had allergies, I bet I'd have" Yui: "That's nothing to laugh about." Ayano: "What about you, Funami-san?" Yui: "My eyes just get a little itchy." Kyoko: "I've heard allergies can develop suddenly." Yui: "Is there any way to prevent them?" Yui: "What do you think? Not a chance!" Chitose: "I've heard yogurt can prevent allergies." Kyoko: "I wonder if we get yogurt this month..." Kyoko: "No?!" Yui: "Buy some yourself." Ayano: "I'm already out of tissues!" Ayano: "No, no! I'm a girl! But it might be better than letting my nose run..." Girl: "Sugiura-san." Girl: "It's from Kyoko." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko!" Kyoko: "Yeah." Ayano: "Thanks." Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko, thank you for earlier." Kyoko: "No worries. It was nothing." Chitose: "Funami-san, thanks for the tissues." Yui: "Don't worry about it." Kyoko: "I bet Nishigaki-chan has some medicine." Both: "What?" Kyoko: "Nishigaki-chan, do you have any allergy medicine?" Kyoko: "She must have allergies, too." Chitose: "Even though explosions don't bother her." Kyoko: "Why don't you borrow a gas mask?" Ayano: "No, thanks." Yui: "She thought about it." Chitose: "Yeah, she did." Kyoko: "Nishigaki-chan." Ayano: "Why did you put this on me? There's no no Norway I need this!" Kyoko: "Just try wearing it during lunch." Chitose: "It might help a little." Ayano: "You too, Chitose? Fine. I'm going to the bathroom." Yui: "She's going to the bathroom with that on?" Akari: "I really gotta go..." Chitose: "Ayano-chan, you're cute no matter what you're wearing." Ayano: "Hey, guys." Ayano: "What do you think?" Sakurako: "Good idea." Sakurako: "I was just thinking it's getting a little messy." Himawari: "You're the one making it messy!" Chitose: "Then I'll go get some cleaning supplies." Ayano: "I'll go with you." Himawari: "We'll start by cleaning the windows." Ayano: "Sounds good." Himawari: "Come on, Sakurako..." Himawari: "Huh?" Sakurako: "Freeze!" Himawari: "Why are you pointing that at me?" Sakurako: "Oh, my mistake. I thought you were a booby monster." Himawari: "Oh my, Sakurako..." Himawari: "If you don't stop now..." Himawari: "I'll shoot." Sakurako: "She's serious..." Ayano: "It's dirtier than I thought." Sakurako: "What's this? There's all kinds of stuff in here." Chitose: "We used those during the cultural festival." Sakurako: "I see." Himawari: "What's it doing here?" Chitose: "We must've forgotten to take it to the storage shed." Sakurako: "Can we have a mock culture festival?" Himawari: "Start cleaning already." Sakurako: "Maid of the dead." Himawari: "Why would you say that?" Himawari: "At least take that triangle off your head." Sakurako: "I couldn't find one of those frilly headbands." Himawari: "Use this, then." Sakurako: "What is it?" Sakurako: "Well, I guess that's close enough." Himawari: "You think?" Himawari: "I'm finished cleaning the windows." Ayano: "Now we just have to sweep, right?" Hiamwari: "Yes, we already dusted the desks." Sakurako: "I'm hungry." Himawari: "Clean something, you lazy maid." Sakurako: "They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Just because I make a cute maid doesn't mean I have to clean." Himawari: "It's too bad you aren't a mute maid." Sakurako: "Sheesh! It's my fault for dressing like this!" Sakurako: "There!" Sakurako: "Tada! I changed my job from maid to Omuro Sakurako! Now you can't tell me to clean." Himawari: "Do you really hate cleaning that much?" Himawari: "Here's a rag. Wipe that." Sakurako: "What?" Sakurako: "Himawari, you idiot. You're an evil stepmother. I'm a modern day Cinderella." Chitose: "I actually like cleaning." Ayano: "Yeah, a clean room helps me focus better." Chitose: "I'm sure it'll help us make progress in our student council duties," Sakurako: "I guess I have no choice..." Sakurako: "Oh, I know." Ayano: "Today's pudding is a special treat: fruit pudding. It costs twice as much as much as the pudding I usually eat." Ayano: "Well, um..." Ayano: "Here, Omuro-san. Have some candy." Sakurako: "Hooray!" Sakurako: "So, can I have some pudding?" Ayano: "The candy wasn't good enough? I need to do something to distract Omuro-san from the pudding." Ayano: "Omuro-san, why don't we play some shiritori?" Sakurako: "That sounds fun! Let's play." Ayano: "I'll make her forget about pudding with shiritori. Don't hold it against me. I can't... let that pudding go..." Sakurako: "I'll start." Sakurako: "Stamp." Ayano: "Pudding." Sakurako: "Hooray, pudding!" Ayano: "No!" Chitose: "Ayano-chan splurged on today's pudding." Chitose: "I have to save her." Chitose: "Pardon me, Omuro-san." Chitose: "That pudding is special to Ayano-chan." Ayano: "Chitose, you know how I feel. That's why you're my best, best friend!" Chitose: "That pudding... is an important, heartfelt gift that Ayano-chan" Ayano: "You're wrong, friend!" Sakurako: "Really? Guess it can't be helped, then. I'll have to hold back this time." Chitose: "Sorry." Himawari: "Who do you think you are?" Ayano: "This is getting ridiculous!" Kyoko: "That looks delicious!" Ayano: "I didn't buy this for you or anything! Don't get the wrong idea!" Kyoko: "You can have this, then." Kyoko: "I just bought it and was about to eat it." Chitose: "Isn't that great, Ayano-chan?" Ayano: "Toshino Kyoko's... ice cream..." Ayano: "I have no choice. I accept!" Himawari: "Senpai, why do you stare at that ice cream every day?" Ayano: "N-no reason!" Sakurako: "Ice cream! Can I have it?" Ayano: "Absolutely not!" : "Matsumoto, good morning." : "School's already over? Such a matter is trivial" : "Sugiura?" : "Good morning." Ayano: "Sensei, school's already over." : "What can I do for you?" Chitose: "Our clock stopped working." : "I suppose I must. I, Nishigaki Nana, will turn this into a wonderful clock." : "What do you think?" : "I added a radio control feature." Ayano: "Why would you do that?" Sakurako: "Yay! Lemme try!" : "Okay, Furutani." Himawari: "What?" Himawari: "What time is it?" Sakurako: "Huh? It's moving by itself... Huh? What?" Clock: "It is currently 15:50." : "It's a new type of clock that flies over" Sakurako: "That's not radio controlled! Why even have this controller?" : "Fine, fine." : "Here's a cute dog clock." Ayano: "Cute?" : "It will bark the current time for you." Dog: "16:08! 16:08! 16:08! 16:08!" Ayano: "Shut up!" Himawari: "I'd prefer something simpler. We just need it to work." Sakurako: "What? But that's so boring. We need something with more of a bang to it!" Himawari: "Hey! That's dangerous!" Chitose: "You should be careful what you wish for, Omuro-san." : "I see, a self destruct mechanism..." Ayano: "You shouldn't make things explode, Sensei!" : "Is that a joke?" Ayano: "No! And we're not looking for a joke clock, either!" : "Okay, I fixed it." Chitose: "It's back to normal." Himawari: "Thank you." Ayano: "You certainly are amazing, Sensei." : "I know, right?" Ayano: "When did you become interested in this kind of stuff?" : "Let's see..." : "I was still in elementary school. Both of my parents were working" : "The only one who would play with me was a puppy robot named "Choco."" : "Choco, shake." : "Good dog. We'll be together forever. I love you, Choco." : "Wherever I went, I took Choco with me." : "When I was lonely, Choco would listen to me." : "Choco was my friend." : "But one day..." : "Choco?" : "Choco!" : "Shake! Shake, Choco!" : "His time must've been up..." : "Shake..." : "Choco." : "Choco!" : "Wake up, Choco..." : "Choco..." : "Why? He was fine until a minute ago..." : "His batteries should still be charged..." : "Choco never moved again." : "Choco..." : "Someday, I'll fix you..." : "Wait for me until then." Ayano: "Sensei." : "Well, that's a lie." Ayano: "Give me back my tears!" Sakurako: "Let's have some ice cream." Ayano: "Hey! You can't have that ice cream!" : "What actually happened, you ask?" Sensei: "See? The lightbulb turned on." Sensei: "Let's all try it." Girls: "Okay." : "Amazing! If it's this bright with just a battery..." : "It'll be even brighter if I connect it to the socket!" Sensei: "Are you okay?" : "That's when I was first drawn to explosions." Sakurako: "What kind of story was that?" Ayano: "My rum raisin..." Kyoko: "This is awful! It's pouring!" Chinatsu: "Aww, I didn't bring an umbrella." Yui: "They said it would be sunny." Kyoko: "Akari, your teru teru bozu aren't working." Akari: "What teru teru bozu?" Akari: "These aren't teru teru bozu!" Kyoko: "Really?" Akari: "Huh?" Kyoko: "Are you positive those aren't teru teru bozu? Maybe you don't believe they are..." Kyoko: "But maybe they think they're teru teru bozu!" Akari: "But..." Akari: "Sorry. I'm sorry! I didn't take the time to understand you two." Kyoko: "So long as you understand." Chinatsu: "Kyoko-senpai, please stop playing with Akari-chan." Yui: "What are we going to do? We can't get to the club room like this, much less go home." Chinatsu: "It might stop soon. Why don't we wait in a classroom?" Yui: "I'm bored." Kyoko: "All right! I thought this might happen..." Kyoko: "A board game!" Kyoko: "I made it during class." Akari: "Yay! Let's play!" Yui: "One, two, three." Kyoko: "Yui landed on it..." Chinatsu: "No, thank you!" Yui: "Oh, good. I don't have to say it, then." Kyoko: "Of course you do! It's the rules!" Yui: "I love you, Kyoko. Okay, next." Kyoko: "You're supposed to get flustered!" Akari: "One, two, three..." Akari: "I landed on the same square as Yui-chan." Akari: "I love you, Kyoko-chan." Kyoko: "This isn't fun at all." Akari: "Did you just have a mean thought?" Chinatsu: "Senpai, you're next." Kyoko: "There!" Kyoko: "I have to say it?" Yui: "Come on, just do it." Kyoko: "This game still needs work..." Chinatsu: "I forgot to turn in my notebook. I'm going to the faculty office." Yui: "I wanted to talk to you two about something." Yui: "Chinatsu-chan gave me a handmade scarf on Valentine's Day..." Yui: "I was wondering if I should give her something back." Kyoko: "Yui! You don't have to do anything for me." Akari: "Chinatsu-chan will be so happy." Yui: "Yeah. What should I get her?" Kyoko: "Rum raisin would be good!" Yui: "You shut up for a minute." Yui: "Akari, do you know if Chinatsu-chan wants anything?" Chinatsu: "Give me every photo of Yui-senpai! Also her underwear and her life!" Akari: "I can't think of anything." Yui: "I see." Akari: "I think she'd be happy to receive anything from you." Yui: "Isn't "anything" is hard to narrow down?" Kyoko: "In these situations, you should give what you'd want to get!" Yui: "For my birthday last year, one of my friends gave me..." Kyoko: "You can have this! It's something I want, so I'm sure you'll like it, too!" Yui: "But when I opened the present..." Yui: "I don't think the recipient will necessarily like what you want." Kyoko: "Really? I bet she wanted to wear those gloves." Yui: "I bet." Akari: "So, what did you do with the gloves?" Yui: "I'm using them as pot holders." Akari: "You can hold things with those?" Akari: "Yui-chan, what do you want most right now?" Yui: "An umbrella, I guess." Akari: "It still hasn't let up..." Chinatsu: "The faculty office had some loaner umbrellas. They only had two, though." Kyoko: "I forgot they had those!" Akari: "Thanks, Chinatsu-chan!" Kyoko: "You're amazing, Chinatsu-chan. You know Yui so well." Yui: "Thanks, Chinatsu-chan. Let's share an umbrella." Chinatsu: "What?" Chinatsu: "Thank you, rain!" Akari: "Kyoko-chan, can you move over a little more?" Kyoko: "We should stand in line!" Akari: "In line?" Kyoko: "If we do that, our shoulders won't get wet." Akari: "You're right! That's amazing, Kyoko-chan! You're a genius!" Akari: "Are you all okay?" Akari: "You're all soaking wet!" Kyoko: "She used the fact that she was off screen" Kyoko: "Akari, you're terrifying." Rise: "I am your silent protagonist, Matsumoto Rise." Rise: "I like to talk, but everyone says I am quiet... How strange." Rise: "I will talk more than ever in the next episode."
