01x12 - What's Most Important to Me Is...

[bunniefuu]

Yuichi!

Kokorogi!

Manabu? Or not.

I'll serve as MC for this special

edition of Tomodachi Game.

The name's Kuroki.

Friendship

thief

parent and child crooks

All right, I'll explain the rules

of the Weak Win Game one more time.

Episode 12: What's Most Important to Me Is

Episode 12: What's Most Important to Me Is

Hold it! I'm not going to listen to a thing

you say until you let Kokorogi go!

Is that so?

You piece of—

Hey, now. Do you understand

the position you're in right now?

If you want, I could expose that secret

of yours that you've never told anyone.

You think

you know that much about me?

Huh? You want me to spill, for real?

If Yutori-chan hears about it, saving her

will be the least of your worries.

Are you listening now, Katagiri Yuichi-kun?

Yuichi-kun will be subjected to

three rounds of physical pain.

If he can endure the pain,

we'll let him and his friend both go.

But a game doesn't test their friendship

wouldn't be much of a

Tomodachi Game, would it?

So, there's one way for Yuichi-kun

to escape the violence.

What?

It's you.

You can take the pain instead of Yuichi.

Yutori-chan gets to choose

which one of them suffers.

The point here is that

if Yutori-chan chooses herself,

her pain will be lighter than Yuichi-kun's.

Hey, Kokorogi—

Ah, but Yuichi-kun isn't allowed to talk.

If Yuichi-kun speaks while she's

deciding, they both suffer.

Ultimately, Yutori-chan is the one

who'll decide who gets hurt.

Basically, it's a question of whether or not

she's selfless enough to protect Yuichi-kun.

Selflessness

Okay, let's go ahead with

the first round of pain.

You'll get punched by our very

own Hercules, Goriki-kun. Yeah.

If Yutori-chan chooses herself,

she gets one hit.

If she chooses Yuichi-kun,

he gets three hits.

By the way, Goriki-kun

is just as strong as he seems.

For a little girl like you, even

one punch could rearrange your face.

You have five seconds to choose.

If you don't choose in that time,

Yuichi-kun will be selected automatically.

Okay, five, four, three

I

two, one.

Yu-Yuichi?

Aw, I should've said you can't move, either.

But, oh well.

In honor of Yuichi-kun's beautiful

self-sacrifice this first round,

I'll let you have it.

Yutori-chan, take a close look.

What happens next is

the result of your actions.

First hit!

Second hit!

Last one!

Man, I keep getting beat up these days.

At least this guy didn't hit

as hard as that gorilla Captain.

Are you okay, Yuichi?

I'm I mean um

I can take the next one.

I'm so sorry, Yuichi.

There you go! Now that's

what I call friendship!

So we're going with Yutori-chan

for the next round of pain, right?

Yeah.

Okay. Put your hand right here.

The pain this time is

fingernail removal. Yeah.

You think you can handle it, Yutori-chan?

Oh, right.

This time I'll give you the chance

to switch to Yuichi-kun, if you want.

But

If Yuichi-kun does it,

he'll lose three fingernails.

He'd get three times

the pain you would.

So? Which one will it be?

All right, here we go.

Yuichi!

W-What should I do, Yuichi?!

It hurts! It really, really hurts!

You heard her, Yuichi-kun.

Oh? You mad, Yuichi-kun?

Or maybe just a little scared, huh?

Stop talking. Shut up and do it.

Sounds good! As requested sir,

I'll pull them all at once!

One!

Two!

Three!

How was that?

Yuichi-kun, how you feelin', buddy?

How you feelin', Yutori-chan?

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Hey, you guys

Why is this piece of sh*t your leader?

Huh?

Do you see anything good in him at all?

Any way you look at it,

Goriki-kun is a stronger fighter.

As for this perverted, sadistic a*s,

even his face looks like a nasty snake.

You don't get it at all, do you?

The most important thing

for a leader isn't strength.

It's this. This! I'm the

smartest guy in the room.

You can't raise a finger

against me now, right?

I'm the only one here who can pull that off.

And I've got guts. No matter

what happens, nothing shakes me.

Last of all, and this is the most important,

I never sell my friends out.

Okay.

So you have brains, you have guts,

and you don't betray your friends,

and that qualifies you to be leader. Right?

Yeah, that's right.

Let's get back to the game, then.

But before that, let's mix

things up for the last one.

If Yutori-chan chooses herself,

well make her dance totally naked!

Yeah!

I guess it's more like

emotional pain this time.

It'd be damn humiliating to have this many

guys drooling over every inch of your body.

But no one here wants to see

Yuichi-kun naked, so if he gets picked,

I'll gouge his hand with this

three times instead.

I'll give you a minute this time.

You should talk it over.

Ain't much to talk about, though.

It's either the girl gettin' humiliated,

or the guy gettin' hurt real

bad three times over.

Is there really any room for discussion?

You You can decide, Yuichi.

Holy sh*t! You serious, Yutori-chan?!

Shouldn't you volunteer this round?!

Kokorogi, tell me how you honestly feel.

B-But, I I know I should

do it this time, I know that

but I can't decide.

I can't get the words out!

Five seconds left!

So, y-you decide, Yuichi!

Four, three,

I promise to do whatever you say!

two, one

Okay.

I'll do it.

Oh, you're bad!

You're the worst, Yutori-chan!

Can't handle anything,

can't make up your damn mind

You're the weakest of the weak, Yutori-chan.

But thanks to all that, you got

away without a scratch.

The weak really do win, Yutori-chan!

Let's get started.

I won't even tie your hand down.

Show us what you're made of!

Even tough guy Yuichi-kun

screamed that time!

Are you hearing this, Yutori-chan?

Last one!

Nice work! And that concludes our

special edition of the Tomodachi Game.

You're free to go home.

Though I doubt you'll feel like

leaving together after this.

Yeah, I'm definitely pissed.

I seriously snapped.

I haven't been this angry in a long time.

I know, right? Yutori-chan

really is a piece of sh*t.

Hey now, don't get it twisted.

Huh?

This stupid child's play won't

make me forget who's to blame.

My anger is all for you, as*h*le! Kuroki!

Don't worry, Kokorogi.

I'm not mad at you at all.

This is a play that kidnappers often use.

They say, "If you don't accept my demands,

the hostages will get hurt."

Then the kidnappers manipulate

the people who refuse their demands

into doing something bad.

But if you think about it, the real bad guys

are the kidnappers

who started the whole thing.

Like these jerks here.

You're only a victim. There's no

reason for you to feel guilty.

It's basically my fault you were

targeted in the first place.

I'm sorry, Kokorogi.

I'm so sorry, Yuichi! I I

You aren't scared of me anymore?

I don't know what you were like in the past,

but you've been really, really kind to me,

so I'm I'm going to trust

the Yuichi I know. I trust you!

All right. Thanks, Kokorogi.

Tomodachi Game

Can you get back by yourself?

I have unfinished business here.

Then I'll stay, too.

You sure?

You'll end up seeing something scary.

It's okay. I've made up my mind

to trust you, Yuichi.

All right. I'll get started, then.

Hey, Kuroki-kun.

You wanna play another game with me?

A game?

Are you kidding?

What would I get out of that?

10 million yen.

10 Million Yen

If you win, I'll give you

10 million yen in cash.

10 million?!

Seriously?!

Then let me play!

C'mon, man. I doubt you have

that much in the first place.

Huh? You said you knew about my past, right?

Then you must know I have more

than that in loose change.

Ah, yeah, sure.

Fine, then. Tell me about this game.

It's simple. Rock Paper Scissors.

Rock Paper Scissors?

One round of Rock Paper Scissors.

If you win, you get 10 million yen.

If you lose, how about

I cut off your fingers.

If you throw paper and lose,

I'll cut off all five.

If you throw scissors and lose,

I'll cut off two.

If you throw rock, I won't cut off any.

So you risk nothing.

Let's call it Rock Paper Fingers.

Rock Paper Fingers

Rock Paper Fingers

Rock Paper Fingers

Doesn't that sound like fun?

Ah, but you can relax.

You've got a huge advantage.

'Cause I can only throw rock

or paper with this hand.

Let's do it.

First one is rock—

Just wait a second!

I didn't say I was gonna—

Huh?

Even with that massive advantage,

you aren't gonna play?

No way. Oh man, don't tell me

you're scared?

Fine! If Kuroki wins,

I'll give everyone here one

million yen each. As a bonus!

Seriously?!

One million each!

Wahoo!

This game gives Kuroki a massive advantage!

Would someone with brains

and guts really turn this down?!

Let's give your loyal leader

a little support, here!

Yeah! All right!

Do it! Do it!

Getting interesting, huh, Kuroki?

You little sh*t.

Fine.

I'll play your damn game! Bleh!

Bleh!

Yeah, I'll play your game.

There's no way I can lose.

Win

High Risk

No Risk

Medium Risk

If you lay out the moves,

this is what you get.

To win against the low-risk rock,

you need to use the high-risk paper.

It's a surprisingly smart game.

But here's the main point:

He can only throw rock or paper.

If I throw paper, there's no way I'll lose.

Tie

Win

At the very worst, it'll be a tie.

Hmm?

Hey. What happens if we tie?

Tie? I really doubt that'll ever happen.

But if it does, we'll just end

the game with no penalty.

No penalty? Is he hoping for a tie?

He must know I'll throw paper.

Since he can only throw rock or paper,

his only choice is paper

So if I throw scissors, I'll win?!

Is that what you expected

me to think, idiot?

Scissors do have a good chance of winning,

but there's also a chance they might lose.

I can't reach out and grab

the prize dangling in front of me

if there's even a 0.1% chance of losing!

You're planning to throw paper, aren't you?

So what if I was?

I don't really care. It's just

that would show us exactly

how pathetic you are.

You tryin' to taunt me?

You ain't gonna make me change my throw!

Your only choice is to throw paper anyway!

Nope, I'm not going to throw paper.

Huh?

Let's do this!

First one is rock,

Don't be fooled! If he really doesn't

throw paper, all he's got is rock!

Rock, paper

So I've gotta throw paper!

Paper, paper, paper!

Scissors.

H-He

His left hand?!

You lying piece of sh*t!

That isn't what we agreed!

The hell it isn't!

I told you I wouldn't throw paper.

That's not what I mean!

You said you could only use rock or paper!

Yeah, with my right hand.

But no one said I couldn't use my left.

You think I'm gonna fall

for that bullshit excuse?!

Guys! Teach this guy a lesson!

Uh? Huh?

What about the game?

It doesn't count!

I told you to get him!

Stop right there!

Restrain them all!

Ugh!

What?!

Gah!

Like hell, you b*tch!

Ow, ow, ow!

Whoa!

The Tomodachi Game management

will be taking over from here!

Hmph!

Cheers!

That was miraculous timing, Tenji.

Sorry. I got here a little while ago,

but they wouldn't let me barge in.

You're the leader of this group, correct?

And the man impersonating

the Tomodachi Game?

W-Why?

I followed Yuichi's instructions

and called the real ones.

Huh?!

Unknown Caller

In Call

Yuichi got a bad feeling

about that first call.

Even though you tried to act like Manabu,

Bessatsu Shonen

Magazine

you sounded a lot trashier

than the real one.

So I contacted the real ones and

gave them the location you told us.

Now you're coming with me.

I'll show you what happens to

someone who impersonates us.

Hold on. I can't let you snatch my prize.

I've still got important

business with this guy.

So, Kuroki-kun, you haven't forgotten

about your promise to me, right?

P-Promise?

You threw paper and lost.

You owe me five fingers!

I I said I wasn't buying that!

This is bullshit!

Would you mind hurrying it up, then?

We're busy too, you know.

Make up your mind, Kuroki.

sh*t! Get your shoe off me!

So, which finger goes first?

Hey! Someone stop this psycho as*h*le!

Oh, c'mon.

If you won't choose,

how about I pick for you?

Which finger should go first?

Please stop!

Oh. That's right.

I can stop if you want.

Y-You can?

As long as you pick one

of your friends to take your place.

But I'll only cut off one of their fingers.

H-Hey! You guys hear that?

If it isn't me, you'll get off

with one-fifth the injury!

Yeah, someone come take my place!

Hey, c'mon. We're all pals, right?

Someone step up and take it! Now! C'mon!

Sons of b*tches! You dumb

assholes won't follow my orders?!

It's five fingers! Five!

That's worth more than one

of your shitty fingers!

What the hell, you freakin' cowards?!

You gonna cry over one

g*dd*mn finger?! Huh?!

I won't forget this, you assholes—

Kuroki.

I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me this time!

I'll never impersonate the

Tomodachi Game again!

Don't worry. The game has already ended.

Katagiri Yuichi has passed out.

Yuichi!

Yuichi! Yuichi!

God damn it! I still don't buy it.

Pretending he won after

that childish trick

Childish? You don't have a clue, do you?

Under the rules for Rock Paper Fingers,

what hand did you think was superior?

Obviously either paper, which couldn't lose,

or scissors, which had a good chance to win.

Right. Because of what he said.

Huh?

'Cause I can only throw rock

or paper with this hand.

But that was exactly Katagiri Yuichi's plan.

He intended to use scissors from the start.

Given that, how could he make absolutely

sure not to end in a tie or lose?

To make me think rock wasn't an option

Yes. What he, what Katagiri Yuichi did,

was use a truly cold and calculating

method that ensured he wouldn't lose.

Even, even if that's true,

he ran out of strength

and I got away with all my fingers

and didn't lose a thing!

You really are a complete idiot.

Huh?

The game revealed three facts about you,

and made you lose one very big thing.

It revealed that you have

no brains, have no guts,

and that you easily betray your friends.

As expected, when I talked to the other

members about dealing with you,

they said, "That guy means

nothing to us anymore."

"Do whatever you want with him."

In just one game of Rock Paper Scissors,

he destroyed all of your

connections to other people.

Yuichi! Are you okay? Hang on!

Yuichi! Yuichi!

Yuichi! Yuichi!

Who are you, exactly?

I'm the girl Yuichi took for a fling.

Move over!

Meow!

What's happened here?

It's amazing he stayed conscious

after losing this much blood.

Emergency transport! Stretcher! Hurry!

Right!

Are you going to save him?

Don't get the wrong idea!

During the game, you're our products.

We can't let him die

a boring death like this.

As long as you save him, I don't care!

We'll stay by his side!

Wow, Tenji. You guys sure are good to him.

Of course we are! Yuichi's our friend!

Yeah!

In that case, don't you have another friend

who needs you even more right now?

That's right. Shibe Makoto, the m*rder*r.

If you participate in the next game,

you might be able to save Shibe!

Really? In that case—

However, you'll get saddled

with another 500 million in debt.

What—

F-Five hundred million?!

Poor Shibe got stuck with

a 500 million yen debt

that was left when his father died.

So, what will you choose?

Your money or your friend?

Yuichi!

Yuichi!

You've got to go!

Yuichi!

Are we going to leave the game like this,

before we find out the truth?

Yuichi!

The most important thing

to me isn't money, anyway.

Friends

Yuichi!

Yuichi! Yuichi!

Looks like he won't be able to participate.

Take him away.

Yes, ma'am.

Tomodachi Game

It's all right, Yuichi.

I promise to bring Shibe home.

Me, too.

I'm still scared and hurt

and I wish I could run away,

but I'm done being a stranger!

Kokorogi-san.

There was so much going on,

I didn't really know who I could trust,

but Yuichi risked his life to protect me,

so I decided that I would only trust him.

So So that's why

Since I know Yuichi has faith in you,

I'll go with you, Mikasa-kun.

Silence! Silence!

Bring the defendant Shibe Makoto

into the courtroom.

The charge is patricide.

I hereby begin the fourth game,

Friendship Guilt Court!

Friendship Guilt Courthouse
