01x11 - Phase 2

[bunniefuu]

[tense music]

[Theodisia gasps]

[barrels rumbling]

[Theodisia grunting]

[sword slashing]

[hunters groaning]

[bodies thudding]

The half-demon!

Don't let your guards down!

[Theodisia shouting]

[hit ringing]

What?

We have four half-demons

worth of magical energy on us.

You b*stards!

[magic roaring]

[all grunting]

[crystal shattering]

[hunter panicking]

[half-demons sighs]

[hunter screaming]

[body thudding]

Euphemia, is that you?

[gasps] Big sister Theo.

[Theodisia gasps]

[Sion]

You will all k*ll each other

until there's only one of you

left standing at the very end.

This trial will commence

in one hour exactly.

One hour after the start,

those who have not k*lled anyone

will be k*lled themselves.

Oh, and if you leave

the castle walls,

you will also be k*lled.

The remaining survivor will

be the winner. [chuckles]

We have to k*ll each other?

That's absurd!

If that's the case, then

you should die instead of us.

That's perfectly fine by me.

If you were to actually

succeed in k*lling me,

then the trial

shall come to an end.

By saying that,

are you trying to imply

that our Gifts won't

work on you or something?

I wouldn't say that.

But you have a better chance

at surviving

if you just go ahead

with the battle royale.

Die now.

[power ringing]

It doesn't work on you.

Actually, it does.

I died just a moment ago,

but all I have to do is come

back to life.

Easy peasy, really.

Die now! Die, die!

- I keep leveling up

- Die, die,

- in one second intervals,

- die, die,

- so I completely recover

- die, die, die,

each time you k*ll me off.

And when I die,

I will come back to life

as is if brand new.

Die, die, die, die, die, die-

[head popping]

[body thudding]

All right, you've got no time

to dilly dally around, everyone.

[all panicking]

Where in the world could he

have gone off to, I wonder?

[Jiyuna] Tomochi!

We're in a lot of trouble!

Why? What's going on?

[wind whooshing]

[Asaka] Before I met you,

I read a novel that

involved a being

that surpassed humans.

The word "ethos"

appears in the story

and was translated

as "character."

It said that what

a superior being needs

is not standards of ethics

or morals,

but rather, character.

[Yogiri grunts]

I don't really get

what you're saying.

It's impossible to

apply ethical standards

and morals to beings

that surpass humans.

Instead, they actually need

to make their own rules

for themselves.

You mean I should come up

with my own rules to follow?

That is correct.

Just because you can do anything

doesn't mean that you should.

What I'm saying is this:

Think it over carefully

and then determine

what kind of character

you should adhere to.

[Yogiri] But if I follow

the rules that I made,

then all I can do

is die right now.

But I promised I would send

Miss Dannoura back to our world.

[power ringing]

I know, I'll just

k*ll my momentum.

[power shimmering]

[plants crunching]

[Yogiri sighs]

So, this must be

the seventh layer.

[phone ringing]

[gentle, eerie music]

[seal shimmering]

[Lute gasps]

Wait a minute,

has something changed?

Isn't it absolutely glorious?

The fact that the seal is gone

is proof that my dear brother

has given me his approval

to leave.

That's great. May we go

ahead and leave as well now?

Let me think.

If I'm constantly made

to look at your

repulsively hideous face,

it will eventually

get on my nerves.

So, you should leave

before I change my mind.

Okay.

Lord Lute, let's go.

[Lute] Yeah.

Mm, it seems I'm having

trouble walking in here.

[groans] What is this?

Mistress Mana's body

is expanding.

Huh?!

She's started preparations

for birthing the Master.

And we are in the middle of it?

Yes, we're inside of her.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you for real?

She's going to

absorb us. Get out!

Where do we run?

You have full authority in

the underworld, don't you?

So then find a shortcut!

Let's go together!

[intense music]

Goodbye.

[hit thudding]

[Hanakawa screaming]

[Hanakawa skidding]

Lord Lute!

[flesh gurgling]

[Hanakawa screaming]

[opening theme]

[Theodisia]

So then you're saying

you've become an

Origin Blood, yes?

- That's right.

- And because Miss Euphemia

has the ability to sense

the presence of her people,

we decided that it

would be better for us

to continue on while searching.

Then may I come along with you?

You are more than welcome to!

By the way, Sis,

what's in the capital?

I'm going to meet

Mr. Yogiri there.

Well, I mean,

he might be there.

I don't really

know for sure.

That won't be a problem.

Lord Takatou said he'd be

heading to the capital.

Oh, so you mean

you've met him before?

Do you think it'll

be okay over there?

[Mokomoko] Things will be rough

if the k*lling

has already started.

If it gets dangerous,

let me know.

I'll try to help you out.

[Mokomoko] Thank you.

[Hanakawa screaming]

Why are you attacking me?

What did I do?

[Hanakawa screams]

My utmost apologies!

[Hanakawa skidding]

What are you doing

here on this layer?

I would really like to

ask you the same thing!

You know,

I said I'd k*ll you

the next time we met.

You said no such thing!

But forget that,

take care of this!

[Hanakawa whimpering]

Die now.

[power ringing]

[monster bursting]

I see your recklessness

hasn't changed at all.

I want to get to

the sixth layer.

Any idea how to?

Can't you go back the way

you came in the first place?

I crash landed,

so I can't do that.

Then how are you still alive?

I k*lled the

momentum going down.

You have no limits, do you?!

If you want to go

to the sixth layer,

then you should use

the shortcut point.

Take me to one, then.

There are multitudes of

those jelly-like things

you saw earlier on

the seventh layer.

If you promise to protect

me from those things

Fine.

Okay, then!

Wait a second.

Huh?

Bring this guy with us too.

[Hanakawa] Uh,

how am I to do that?

Carry him piggyback.

Why the hell do I

have to carry a man?

[panels beeping]

[light flashing]

[Yukimasa] "Kiyoko Takekura,

a girl with braided hair

wearing glasses,

entered the room.

Her class is Gunslinger.

As the name implies,

she fights with a g*n.

She trained her g*n on the

ceiling and pulled the trigger,

and I then became

riddled with holes."

What the?!

"Simultaneously, another person

entered from the

opposite door."

Ayaka Shinozaki!

I'm surprised you suggested

splitting up from

your other friends.

It's much too risky for

us to move as a group.

That isn't actually criticism.

I am praising you!

I bet it'd be different if

I were with Takatou though.

About that boy, he's

fallen to the seventh layer.

He's okay, isn't he?

He apparently doesn't

know how to get back.

I told him where

we are to help out.

A system wasn't installed

in me like all the others,

so hiding here should be

fine for now, shouldn't it?

[g*ns firing]

[Mokomoko] It's started.

They started fighting

just like that?

Their thoughts are being

guided by the systems,

and that's making them

act more belligerent.

Wow.

[Mokomoko]

I suppose they'll fight

until there's only one left.

[Hanakawa grunting]

[door creaking]

You wanted to go to

the sixth layer, right?

After I let you guys off

at the sixth,

then I'll head to the first.

So I can't operate

this without you, can I?

You have to come

with me just in case.

Of course you'd say that.

[Yukimasa] "I arrived at a small

room with a door made of metal,

and a hand wheel

attached to it.

I tried to open the door,

but it wouldn't budge.

[spindle turning]

The moment I turned to leave,

the door began to open.

Out came Yogiri Takatou

and Daimon Hanakawa,

carrying David on his back."

This is my chance to

k*ll them both at once!

"Suddenly from out of nowhere,

the ceiling collapsed

and the three of them

were crushed and died.

I died."

Why is it saying that?

"I was eliminated.

I ceased to exist.

My biological function stopped.

I've made a huge mistake."

What the hell?!

My ability to know and

change the future

should be the

strongest right now!

"I died, I died, I died,

I died, I died, I died."

Damn it!

[paper tearing]

"That was it for me."

[door creaking]

Die now.

[power ringing]

[body thudding]

What?!

Just like it was nothing?!

He's your very own classmate!

I only did it because

he meant to k*ll us.

[Hanakawa groaning]

[phone ringing]

No answer.

How are you so casually

using your smartphone?

Um, a system message just

popped up for us to look at.

What's it say?

[Hanakawa] It's something

about how I'm participating

in the Sage candidate

selection battle.

That's perfect.

This means if you try

to run away from

the selection battle,

Sion will come and k*ll you.

Don't you think that's

super messed up to say, man?!

[light playful music]

[upbeat rock music]

[mysterious music]

[white cat] Mei, we should

forget the Sage thing

and go meow-t on a trip.

I gotta do an event

when it comes around.

[Arima] I'm fed up with you.

To think you're carelessly

lazing around within my domain.

That you, Arima?

Why didn't you k*ll me

when you had the chance?

[Arima] I'd feel

guilty doing that,

although, I'm also ready to

do what needs to be done.

[Mei panicking]

[stone thudding]

[Arima chuckling]

[Mei giggling]

[others gasp]

How did you

I just teleported.

Hold on. You're here

too, Abukawa?

A Saint's power can do more

than just eradicate

demonic creatures?

Sorry, I was fibbing.

Eat this!

[light flashing]

[magma pouring]

Huh?

How are you perfectly fine?

Well, you see, I am immune

to any and all attacks.

[both gasp]

Oh my, yes.

That's just what

I wanted to see.

Faces twisted in utter despair

when people so full

of themselves

are confronted with powers

much greater than their own

and have to accept their fate!

My turn to give it a go!

Saint's Bullseye K.O. Punch!

[energy flashing]

[Arima gasps]

What the heck power is that?

[chuckles] I will tell you!

It was a few days before our

infamous school field trip.

Hmm?

[cats hissing]

[fire roaring]

What?

[cat meowing]

[light flashing]

I was k*lled by

the beam of light

let loose from

the cat's eyes, but

they immediately revived me.

And in apology,

I was given powers through

a link with the cat god.

[tense music]

Hooray!

If that's true, then you

could win against the Sage!

We wouldn't have to

k*ll each other anymore.

Yeah, that may be true and all,

but if I k*lled the Sage

all of a sudden,

who would've come up with

this fun event for us to play?

Well, I

That's why,

Saint Beam Attack!

[Arima screaming]

[Mei chuckling]

Huh?

Hanakawa?

I guess I'll go ahead and k*ll

him, since he's right here.

[screams]

Is that you, Mei, cutie?

You're dressed as a Saint, huh?

My goodness, I can just imagine

all the holy, saintly

things you've got

- underneath that robe.

- So gross.

[Hanakawa laughing]

[Mei] Who are you again?

You here to k*ll us?

[Mei growling]

Saint Punch!

[hit thudding]

[bones cracking]

What was that?

Dannoura Elbow.

I learned the art

of self-defense.

But how?

So you're not just going

to k*ll her?

We haven't been attacked

in any way that can k*ll us.

What? What is going on here?

[black cat] Ridiculous.

What in the world?

Do something about this!

I'm on it.

I'm not gonna hold back, now.

Get out of my sight, all of you!

[intense music]

Huh?

People separated

from their power

are easiest to handle.

Nothing comes from within.

What did you do to them?

Oh, I got it.

The source of her

power was k*lled,

so this little Saint

lost all her power, too.

Does that sound about right?

[Hanakawa laughs]

[Mei whimpers]

No!

Where you going?

This makes no sense!

- Anyway, you're so gross!

- No, come back, little kitty!

[monster growling]

- Huh?

- She probably ran away

because you're super creepy.

You're blaming me for all that?

[stone crumbling]

[g*n firing]

[Ayaka] You jumping all

over is so damn annoying!

[fire roaring]

[Kiyoko grunts]

[missiles whizzing]

[expl*si*n booming]

[Ayaka gasps]

Where the hell does that

weapon even come from?

[AI Voice] It appears she

can summon small arms at will.

[explosions booming]

It's a bit rough just sitting

tight like this, isn't it?

- Hm?!

- There's someone here

making use of the spirits

and setting them loose.

Isn't that pretty bad for us?

In addition, there's some

electromagnetic disturbance

happening.

We won't be able to

contact the boy like this.

How do ghosts cause an

electromagnetic disturbance?

If we've been found, staying

still is a bad idea, so

[cloth fluttering]

[Tomochika gasps]

[both screaming]

[Romiko] Hey!

Tomochi! [laughs]

[Tomochika] Mikochi!

[Mokomoko]

She may be the sorcerer.

[Tomochika] Huh?

Hey, Mikochi, your ability

is just counting things,

isn't that right?

I'm actually really

a necromancer.

Sorry, I hid that from you.

But where's Jiyuna?

You know, I'm not sure.

She kind of just

disappeared all of a sudden.

What'd you come here for?

Because I too,

have a guiding spirit.

What?!

A princess of an

ancient species,

and her name is Tiannu.

This heck is that?!

- I want her to be mine, too.

- Hey!

I've got the spirit with

the dumb name of Mokomoko!

Why are they so different?

The Dannouras are

a powerful family.

And I'm a princess.

Also, what's wrong with

the name Mokomoko?!

Nothing, I tell you!

I've already lost

before we've even

begun fighting.

Look, she's even shining!

If this comes to blows,

I shall wreck her!

Only a real loser

would resort to violence

after losing in the

looks department.

What do you mean

by "real loser"?

Tiannu is very

adorable indeed,

but she can't do

anything but count.

So can I have that one there?

Huh?

[Mokomoko yelps]

Oh, my apologies.

This little lady is making

me possess her.

What is going on right now?

[both grunting]

[hit booming]

[wood cracking]

[tree booming]

How are you so strong?

What are you so confused about?

You should be able to handle

this level of combat easily.

You look like you're

totally into attacking me.

Well, I'd really prefer

not to do this,

but she's using my power as

she pleases, so forgive me.

Weakest argument ever!

Oh, and also don't

hate me for this,

but I'm in control of that

fancy battle suit as well.

Purge it.

[suit whirring]

[Tomochika gasps]

[Hanakawa panting]

Wait.

[Hanakawa whimpering]

Shut your eyes.

[Hanakawa screaming]

If you disobey, I'll k*ll them.

My eyes! My eyes!

[suit whirring]

[metal clattering]

[Tomochika whimpers]

I'm gonna get you for this,

you traitorous jerk!

[Yogiri] Good job,

Miss Mokomoko.

Takatou, you're here?

You have pretty awful timing.

But you did help me, didn't you?

Just, what the heck do you

mean by giving her kudos?

That was Miss Mokomoko,

wasn't it?

Glad you figured that out.

I could tell by

how she spoke.

If she's attacking, I have

no choice but to k*ll her.

[Romiko gasps]

That's impressive, Yazaki,

you've established an

amazing group so far.

The longer we survive, the

stronger we can all become.

Then, we can finally

challenge the Sage.

That is what we've decided.

You're upset because

your position

as leader was taken away.

So you're using that

to target me?

How utterly predictable.

If you work with me,

I won't k*ll you.

That's sweet, but I

think I'll go with "no."

That's so?

Surround the enemy and attack!

[groupies shouting]

What's an idol without

her fans, huh?

k*ll those fools, one and all!

[magic glimmering]

[explosions booming]

You made your allies

blow themselves up?

Die-hard fans would do anything

they can to protect me.

After all, I am

their beloved idol.

[Haruto] This is bad.

Way trickier than

I thought it'd be.

[Yazaki] Stop this!

Dammit, let me go!

[expl*si*n booming]

[Sora laughing]

Huh?

[slime gurgling]

What is that?

No, no, no, no, no!

[Sora screaming]

What the?

Help me, please, Haruto!

Yui!

Please help me!

[Haruto]

I have no choice but to use

my secret weapon, now.

- [Yui] Haruto?

- Sorry.

I'm afraid I'm not able

to help you, Yui.

[Yui crying]

[somber music]

[Haruto] But, this is bad.

[Romiko gasping]

Is this the fear of Tomochi's

guardian spirit?

[demon] Do you want power?

The true power of a necromancer

is much more than this.

Could this be the awakening

the Sage was talking about?

[demon] Now, relinquish

the source of fear.

Release from me!

Oh! Ouchie.

Oh wow, it's like the power

is running right

through my body.

[both shouting]

Hey, what's going on?

Oh dear!

Somehow her power has awakened!

Hey there,

Tomochi, can you tell?

I honestly feel

really great right now.

It feels like the entire

world is powerless

from throwing themselves

at my feet.

Witness this awesome power!

Die now.

[chime ringing]

[spirit bursting]

[body thudding]

So yeah, um, sorry,

I suppose I never saw

this situation happening.

Whatever. Just gimme my

clothes back, will you?

Oh, sure thing!

[magic shimmering]

Mikochi.

[somber music]

It is what it is.

Let's keep it moving.

Cute little Tomochika!

That's not how a

real heroine would act.

Huh? What?

Why are you here?

"Oh, Takatou, this is awful!

It's beyond cruel!"

Is what you should say,

then I'll be able to

take advantage of you!

No matter what happens,

I'd never in a million years

let you get that close to me.

[Hanakawa grunting]

How did he get here?

He was on the

seventh layer with me.

He could handle

the elevator thingy

to get out of the underworld.

It helped.

And because of that,

we were able to meet up.

So what do we do now?

Any ideas? Tell me!

You're pretending like

we're still besties,

but I'm not over

what you did to me!

Oh, I'm truly very sorry!

Since Hanakawa was

entered in the battle,

I think we should try

to escape the area.

If we do that,

Sion may come for us.

So you can accomplish

what you're going for?

I beg you, please

refrain from doing that!

There's no assurance that

my life will be spared

if I were to meet her again!

Then I will avenge your death.

So you're saying I'm going

to die no matter what happens?!

[Ayaka shouting]

[sparks whizzing]

[g*ns clattering]

[foot stomping]

Looks like it's finally

settled, Gunslinger.

[Kiyoko] What kind of weapon

can beat this girl?

What weapon, what weapon,

what weapon, what weapon?

What weapon?!

[light flashing]

Hi! How are ya?

Oh, I'm glad you're safe!

Thank goodness.

We both made running

away our top priority.

We thought that if we

could join up with Takatou,

then things would

turn out super dandy.

What are you planning to do now?

I'm going to lure Sion

out and get some intel-

[power buzzing]

All of you get behind me, now!

Huh?

[silence]

[Tomochika] "You Can Use

Your Power Any Way You Want"
