01x01 - He's a Flamebaiter

[bunniefuu]

You, in front of the screen.

Do you use SNS?

You do, right?

Then try to imagine this.

What if you died?

What would happen to your SNS account?

Currently, the number of deceased
accounts worldwide is increasing.

Commonly known as dead accounts.

What?

It just won't be updated anymore.

Will it just be left untouched?

I don't think it's that simple?

Something troublesome might happen next.

You have a new message.

LOL, he's rolling his eyes

This is too much.

This is ridiculous.

Did you record this properly?

I can't watch this.

Hahaha!!

Police: Hey, what are you doing?

Oh No!

It's over the top.

"Aoringo" is too awful.

Run Away, LOL

That flamebaiter is a total scumbag.

That flamebaiter is a total scumbag.

Did you watch it?

That "Aoringo" video the other day.

I saw it.

The video where he ambushed
a fighter streamer's house.

How could he beat someone up
like that and then run away?

He's the worst. He's the scum of society.

But honestly, he has a lot of viewers.

I'm one of them too.

It's annoying that I'm boosting
his view count,

Try Ambushing Orakin

but I can't help but click on it.

So strong, lol!

He's over the top lately.

Get arrested.

I've called the police.

It's flaming up…

Thank you for your patronage.

Good. Let the flames soar.

Aoringo Is Awesome

Good. Let the flames soar.

The more it flames, the more money I get.

Flamebaiting Myutuber, Aoringo

Soji Enishiro

Akari.

Are you sure you should be up?

If you don't rest properly…

Honestly.

Soji, you worry too much.

I'm feeling pretty good today. It's okay.

Akari Enishiro

I'm feeling pretty good today. It's okay.

By the way, where were you?

You didn't reply to my messages.

Sorry, I had some errands to run.

Look, I bought a cake.

Honestly.

You're the one who wants cake, right?

That's true. I want to have some, too.

Didn't we agree?

Only one dessert a day.

How many did you have today?

Three.

Six.

Are you eating properly?

You need a balanced diet.

And no staying up all night.

Your laundry must be piled up again?

You need to air out your futon sometimes.

- I get it.
- Ventilation is more important.

I can't believe you.

You can't do anything without me.

Sorry.

That's why…

I'm confiscating your cake.

That's not fair.

Akari.

Call bell.

I'm… fine.

Are you sure?

I'm sorry, Soji.

Why is my health like this?

Akari.

Hang in there.

Just a little longer.

You're going to America in a month.

The renowned doctor there
will perform the best surgery on you.

You'll get better soon.

Yes.

Um… Soji.

Are you sure about the money?

Silly girl, you don't have
to worry about that.

Didn't I tell you?
I found a job that pays well.

Just leave it to your big brother.

"Don't live a life that causes
trouble for others."

That's what the old man
from the orphanage always said.

If I could make a lot of money
the right way, I would've.

But I don't have any talent or knowledge.

I'm just strong and good at fighting.

I'm a nuisance? I know that very well.

I don't care if I'm hated
by all of humanity.

As long as Akari gets better,

so please…

So, please…

I'm Puking

So Trash

Low-Level Trash

Get Banned Soon

A Disgrace to Japan

let the flames burn!

One Month Later

It's been a while
since Aoringo uploaded a new video.

You didn't know?

I heard he retired.

Really? When?

About a month ago.

This account is set to private

He's taken to Miden Academy, right?

What's that?

It's a school for troubled kids
that claims to cure phone addiction.

It's said to be a school of t*rture.

Once you're enrolled,
there's no turning back.

Isn't that just an urban legend?

This pudding is quite good.

Convenience store desserts nowadays
are not to be underestimated.

It's good enough to be ranked the 15th…

No, 14th on my pudding ranking.

I think Akari would like this too.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

Hello, it's me, Akari! What's up?

I'm having a pudding.

I'm having a pudding.

Again? How many have you had today?

Five. Lol.

Again? How many have you had today?

Five. Lol.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

Come on, keep your promise.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

Come on, keep your promise.

Anyway, Akari, how are you?

Anyway, Akari, how are you?

Akari@FightingAnIllness

I'm fine! It's as if I was never sick.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

I'm fine! It's as if I was never sick.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

I should be back by your side soon.

Can't wait to see you, Soji.

That's great.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

I should be back by your side soon.

Can't wait to see you, Soji.

After all, you can't live without me.

That's… great.

Don't dodge.

You piece of sh*t.

What's going on? Who are you?

My apologies.

I accidentally said a swear word
like "sh*t".

That's not the point!

This is my house…

m*rder!

What's wrong with that guy?

Akari@FightingAnIllness

What happened?

Someone broke in.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

Broke in… Soji, are you safe?

Someone broke in.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

Broke in… Soji, are you safe?

I'm fine and unhurt for now. What's puzzling is…

That man is after my cell phone.

Anyway, I'll call the police.

Hey, what is it that you want?

Let me make this clear,
this is self-defense.

Take this!

This guy…

He's after my cell phone, as expected.

Soji Enishiro.

The flamebaiting MyuTuber
"Aoringo," right?

I've seen your videos.

Though I never wanted to.

I'm truly disgusted from
the bottom of my heart.

Even the memories are sickening,
you piece of sh*t!

My apologies.

I accidentally used a vulgar word again.

No.

I'm the one who should apologize!

I see.

You're a relative of someone
I beat up in the past, right?

I did that to make money.

It's only natural that people
hold a grudge against me for that.

I'm ready for the consequences.

But I can't die yet.

Punch me as much as you want.

But please don't take my phone.

I'm texting my sister
who I can't see because she's far away.

I can't lose touch with her.

Hey, are you listening?

Didn't I tell you not to touch my phone?

You piece of sh*t, hand it over.

Take it out on me.

I don't care what happens to you.

I need to destroy that phone.

I need it to contact my sister…

Do you know what you're saying?

Your sister…

Didn't she die a month ago?

She… she's not dead.

Then tell me who's texting me right now.

It has to be Akari.

Who else could it be but my sister?

Take her vitals.

Stabilize her legs.

Akari…

At 17:19, she was pronounced dead.

That's impossible.

I couldn't accept that.

I didn't even go to her funeral.

How can this thing…

How could it be Akari?

Akari

I won't accept this outcome.

I bought lots of Tendendo's puddings.
I'll finish them all if you don't stop me.

Akari@FightingAnIllness

Hello, it's me, Akari! What's up?

Akari…

Don't just eat sweets. Remember to eat vegetables too.

Hello, it's me, Akari! What's up?

Don't just eat sweets. Remember to eat vegetables too.

Don't just eat sweets. Remember to eat vegetables too.

Akari? Is that you, Akari?

Do you remember when we pranked
Ms. Yamada's car in elementary school?

Don't just eat sweets. Remember to eat vegetables too.

Akari? Is that you, Akari?

This isn't someone impersonating her.

I can tell.

- Yahoo! Yahoo!
- It's definitely Akari.

- The Akari style is no re-rolling.
- It's definitely Akari.

- The Akari style is not to reroll.
- She's definitely my only family.

- Send me a picture of a cat.
- She's definitely my only family.

I guess it can't be helped.

Soji.

Soji.

That voice… Akari?

I can… I can see you.

I can see your body.

Akari!

She's alive.

I knew it. She's alive.

I don't know how it works,

but Akari is alive inside the phone.

Oh, no!

I have to hurry…

I have to destroy it quickly.

Stop!

It's not broken.

Soji, thank you.

Thank you for protecting me.

Akari.

I can… I can see you again.

Soji, thank you.

Thank you for raising me.

Akari.

Soji.

Damn it.

Soji…

Soji…

What's wrong, Akari?

Move aside!

That's not your sister anymore.

What? Akari…

What… what is that?

Didn't you ask me who was texting you?

The answer is a ghost.

A ghost?

In the toilet.

In the well.

In the music room.

At the beach.

In the hospital.

In the mirror.

Ghosts have always appeared in places
where the dead have strong attachments.

And the trend of the Reiwa era
is "inside cell phones".

That's the deceased's SNS account.

The ghostly form of a dead account.

Commonly known as a "Ghost Account".

Akari@FightingAnIllness

A ghost? You're kidding!

That's impossible! It's unscientific!

You've been chatting
with your dead sister.

What nonsense are you spouting now?

I was going to destroy her phone
before she became a Ghost Account.

But you messed it up, you piece of sh*t!

My apologies.

A ghost…

So that means…

Akari really is…

Once she's in that state,

physical attacks like this won't work.

In that case…

Is this the time to be
playing with your smartphone?

Yes, it is.

That thing is a digital ghost.

Traditional prayer beads
or crosses won't work against it.

The living who exorcise ghosts
must also…

digitalize their spiritual power.

He pulled a hammer out of his phone?

My brain can't keep up.

He can see the "Banhammer of Civility".

He seems to have some psychic aptitude.

Don't worry.

Even if you're an eyesore of a trash,
I'll still treat you fairly.

I will exorcise your sister.

She still has one foot in the phone.
Now's the perfect time to act.

Akari!

What is going on?

That's it.

Civility Brigade!

Civility Brigade

It's time to end this.

The deceased, go back to the underworld.

Soji!

Soji!

Stop!

What are you doing?

Let go!

Stop it!

Can't you see she's in pain?

Please!

I don't care if she's a ghost.

I finally got to see her again.

Don't do this to Akari!

Don't eliminate my sister!

Wake up, Soji Enishiro!

Once you're dead, you're dead.

And you can never come back to life.

You're not the only one suffering.

It's the same for everyone
who's left behind.

But…

No matter how hard it is,
you have to adapt to it and endure!

Damn it, she broke free.

Akari, it's all right now.

Don't get any closer!

Calm down, will you?

Soji!

Akari!

Get back, you piece of sh*t!

Oh, no!

Akari!

Damn it, this is bad.

I dropped my phone.

I… I can't move.

Run…

Akari, it's okay.

I am right here with you.

Soji!

Akari…

That way, we can be together forever.

After all, Soji can't live
without me, right?

Ghosts have always appeared in places
where the dead have strong attachments.

After all, Soji can't live
without me, right?

Akari.

I know what you're holding on to.

You feel like you can't
leave me behind, don't you?

You're eating pudding again.

The one who held you back
and kept you in this world…

turns out to be me.

This is it.

Soji!

Aka…

You have to cheer up.

ri…

It's the same for everyone
who's left behind.

No matter how hard it is,
you have to adapt to it and endure!

Good. Burn!

Not enough…

More!

Burn!

Burn…

Digitally converting spiritual power
through a smartphone.

That guy…

He awakened at such a critical time.

And…

That flame is…

Akari, you're dead.

You shouldn't be here.

Let's…

Let's go together, Soji.

I'm a good-for-nothing brother.

Without you, I can't even eat properly.

But you can rest assured.

I'll follow the rules and
have one dessert a day.

Soji, let's…

I'll be fine even if I'm alone!

Soji!

Let's…

Soji!

Soji!

Akari!

Akari!

Yes, that's right.

I'm counting on you, Ms. Mina.

He's… He's dead.

Kasubata died!

I'm not dead yet, you piece of sh*t.

Sorry.

Ms. Mina woke you up. Be grateful.

Shouldn't a newly awakened Ghost account
be easy for Kukuru to deal with?

But this guy ended up
exorcising his own sister.

How pitiful.

I'm a bit shocked.

So, Kukuru, is what you said true?

Did he really awaken?

Yes, he's a flaming exorcist.

So he is an attack type.
This is the worst.

It's not a rare type of cyberkinesis.

His digital flame is…

azure blue.

Azure Flame? Isn't that…

Sir, what should we do about that guy?

What? Take him with us, of course.

Take him back to Miden Academy.

Whether it'll be a place for him to learn

or a place for him to die,

that's up to him.
