01x08 - (Not) Normal Arc: All All Apologies

[bunniefuu]

"Fwoosh"

"Whoosh" "Sh-ling"

"Kling"

What's going on here?

How dare you defy me!
This wasn't part of the deal!

I stand by my decision.

No more retreating! No more groveling!

No more looking back!

I will face you!

That right? But, uh, you
haven't forgotten, have ya?

I've still got those hostages.

I wonder what the deal
is with those "hostages"...

Wait. Does that mean... Ohgami is the mole?!

"[Not] Normal Arc: All All Apologies"

"Next Day"
After the third classroom trial,

we began investigating the school
building's newly opened fourth floor.

Considering what just happened,
Togami and Fukawa should have joined us!

Is there a problem, Naegi?

N-No, it's nothing!

"Principal's Office
Teachers' Room"

On the fourth floor, there
was the teachers' room...

...and the chemistry lab...

Lookie, lookie!

It's the super high grade
protein, Prodolumen X!

You'd best be careful, Asahina!
There is poison over here!

...along with the music room...

...and the data processing room.

"Data Processing Room"

"Data Processing Room"
The door's locked!

"Principal's Office"

Lastly, there was the principal's office.

Another locked door...

Naegi.

Kirigiri!

Do you have a moment?

Did you have any luck
with that hidden room?

Uh, a-about that...

"Hope's Peak High School Student Roster"
"Hope's Peak High School--"

Right when I started my investigation,
someone attacked me.

When I came to, all of
the materials were gone...

I see...

Oh, yeah!

"You must not leave this place."

Come to think of it, I found
a strange memo in that room.

It would be best to save
this conversation for later.

By the way, Naegi, are you
keeping any secrets from me?

Secrets?

Ohgami might be a mole...

But spreading rumors without
hard evidence is kinda...

I'm sorry. I can't say anything.

Weren't you the one
who said that as friends,

we should trust each other
and share what we know?

Forget it.

I'm sorry.

In the end, we came up
totally empty-handed, huh?

But there may be some leads in the data
processing room and the principal's office.

If only we could get in...

The almighty ogre from the
Hominidae family of primates

could break down those doors easy!

You punks!

You wanna break down my office door?!

Are you trying to turn this
into a school warzone?

It was not my intent to
encumber you with rules, but...

"During your school days of mutual k*lling,
one villain may only m*rder up to 2 classmates."

"You are prohibited from
breaking down locked doors."

A new rule has been added...

Now I can rest at ease! Later!

For him to go to such lengths,
he must be hiding stuff

in the principal's office
and data processing room.

Oh, yeah! We still have that, remember?

Have what?

Alter Ego!

"Bath"

Everyone, you came to see me?

I finally managed
to get past the files' security.

Oh, good goin'!

"Kirigiri: What did you discern from the files?"

Well, it looks like this school was in
the process of enacting a certain "plan."

The plan was to isolate high school
students in Hope's Peak High School

and make them live on campus.

Furthermore, in some instances,
the isolated high school students

may have to spend their entire lives on campus.

Is-Isn't that...?

'Tis the same as our current predicament.

And apparently the plan was devised by

none other than
Hope's Peak High School itself.

The school...?

The reason for the plan was an
incident that happened one year ago:

The Biggest, Most Atrocious
Despair-Inducing Incident in Human History.

The Biggest, Most Atrocious
Despair-Inducing Incident in Human History?

Because of that incident, Hope's Peak
High School was forced to shut down.

That's when the isolation plan got going.

The person in charge of the plan was
the principal of Hope's Peak High School.

The principal is a man in his late thirties.

It's quite likely that he is still
somewhere inside the school.

Then that principal must
be controlling Monokuma!

I will look for the principal.

I swear that I will find that man.

You have my word!

Kirigiri...?

One more thing!

I found this in with the data.

Another mysterious picture?

What does this picture mean...?

School announcement! School announcement!

Please gather up in the gym on the double.

He wants us to gather up...?

--Uh... We should probably go, huh?
--On the double...! On the double...!

Oh, he dropped it!

I have a sad announcement to make.

There is a mole hiding in your midst!

A-A mole?!

I figured. It is just as I had suspected.

Wh-Who is it? Who's the mole?

Don't be in such a rush! I'm gonna tell ya.

The true identity of the mole is...

...Sakura Ohgami!

Th-The ogre?!

She's the mole?

H-How could you say that?
You know that isn't true!

Right, Sakura?

You're free to take over from here.

Boil her! Burn her!
k*ll her! Get k*lled by her!

Hey, Sakura...?

I am sorry that I never told you.

Y-You really work for
the guy behind all of this?

You've been deceiving us this whole time?

Y-You've got it wrong! I bet...
he didn't give her a choice!

She's right! I saw what
happened between them.

I saw Ohgami and Monokuma fighting...

During the fight, Monokuma
mentioned something about hostages.

You overheard?

Ohgami was forced to do whatever
he said because of those hostages,

--but she betrayed the master--
--That sounds ridiculous.

Do you live in a world
of fantasy and fairy tales?

Hey! If you truly betrayed
the mastermind, tell me this:

Who is the one pulling the strings?

My apologies. Even I do not know that.

This grows more suspicious by the moment.

In that case, what did the
mastermind order you to do?

If there failed to be any murders during
our time here and we reached a standstill,

I was to k*ll someone.

I see. And that means you're
still after our lives, doesn't it?

I already told you she's not!

Wait!

There is no need for you to be
at odds with one another over me.

I shall take full
responsibility for my actions.

Dear Asahina, I am sorry.

Sakura...

I had considered confiding in
you on a great many occasions.

But I was afraid...

I feared that you would
grow to despise me.

You know I'd never--

You have my apologies.

Even if it spells our mutual
demise, I will make amends!

"Mutual demise"--

It sounds like we should steer
clear of Ohgami henceforth.

Who knows what she might do?

Togami, you shouldn't say that!

Nah, Togams has a point!

Sh-She was the mastermind's lackey.

Unbelievable... Don't you
know Sakura better than this?!

What do you actually know about that girl?

You didn't even know
her true role in this game.

W-Well...

I'd totally be willing to trust the
ogre if she took out the mastermind.

Moron!

What if something horrible happened to her?!

Even if Ohgami died,

it would merely decrease the number
of people on the mastermind's side.

It's no skin off my nose.

Scum...

Heartless brute!

You're the one...

...who should go to Hell!

Fascinating. Care to send
me there? You're free to try!

Those are the rules here.

Do you think...

...I'm not up to it?

Y-You ugly sow!

How dare you threaten Master Byakuya!

That doesn't deserve just one death
sentence, but a hundred million of them!

That is enough!

You are doing exactly what the
mastermind wanted when you fight like this.

I'm going... back to my room.

Togami.

You think very little of
human emotions, don't you?

So what if I do?

I'm warning you: If you keep this up,

eventually the rug will get
pulled out from under you.

Thanks, but I'll have to
disregard that piece of advice.

Uh, school announcements time!

It is now 10:00pm!

We are hereby entering the night hours!

"Naegi"

"Naegi"
"Next Day"

"Ohgami"

What's going on?

F-Fukawans and Asahinans... got into a catfight!

You two butt-ugly dudes!

Hurry and get that woman outta my sight.

If you don't...

I'm gonna snip and clip,
snip and clip, snip and clip...!

I'll get to savor some juicy euphoric time!

Asahina!

Let's go to the nurse's office for now.

Hagakure, help me out.

Huh? Uh, sure!

"1F Nurse's Office"

"1F Nurse's Office"
You're lucky! It's just a scratch.

Yeah. Thanks.

If I didn't scream back there,
she woulda k*lled you!

You should be grateful.

Thank you so much. Now take care.

--Asahina...
--I felt animosity instead of gratitude...

What happened between you and Fukawa?

We got into an argument... about Sakura.

She... She was saying horrible
things about my best friend!

Asahina!

What happened?!

H-How did you get hurt?

Uh, not saying. It's not a big deal.

It-It-It-It wasn't me!

It was Genocider!
That sick serial k*ller did it!

To think that Asahina should be
the one to get injured rather than I...!

I cannot believe this!

I will not have this!

S-S-S-S-Spare me!

Unforgiveable! This is unforgiveable!

Oh-Ohgami, calm down!

Sakura!

What is this ruckus about?

Kirigiri, help us stop Ohgami!

There is no need to stop me.

I will not do anything.

I shall merely let her know
that this is not acceptable.

W-Wait!

Hey, are you still angry?

You're... angry, aren't you?
I guess you are...

No.

Naegi, you were hiding what you had
learned about Ohgami, weren't you?

You didn't want to spread
unconfirmed information

and throw everyone into a panic, right?

Yeah...

I find such fears to be rather grating, Naegi.

Huh?

After all, doesn't it ultimately
prove that you do not trust me?

I guess it does. I'm sorry.

That's all right. I'll forget
that this ever happened.

Besides, I overreacted a little myself...

This discussion is now over.

That aside, supposedly
Alter Ego has something to tell us.

You came to see me!

For Alter Ego to ask us to come
see him, something must be up...

"Kirigiri: What do you want?"

Right... I'd like you to take me somewhere
I could hook up to the network.

"Kirigiri: Why?"

I want to fight alongside you!

I'll do what I can to help you escape.

But if I'm going to be of any assistance,

there is no choice but
to link up to the network!

B-But...

"Kirigiri: If you do, the mastermind
will find out about you."

I know that this is dangerous.

Even so, this is something I must do!

I'll be fine!

Courage surges through me whenever
I think about you and the others.

You probably think that sounds
strange coming from an AI,

but it's the truth!

Naegi, let's hook him up to the network.

Huh? But...

I want to respect his wishes.

Kirigiri...

And just maybe, the mastermind
won't notice him in that one room.

The hidden room on the second floor
was also free of surveillance cameras.

Plus, I'm sure that room
was wired to the network.

However, there is a
possibility that the mastermind

is keeping an eye on the network.

But this is still worth a shot.

All right. In that case, I'd like
to be the one to take Alter Ego.

That tickles!

Just give me a sec.

"Naegi: Are you connected?"

Yep! Everything looks good.

You can leave the rest to me!

I'll be sure to find some clues!

Please believe in me and hang tight!

Uh-huh!

"Naegi: We've just gotta get out of here!
All of us together, as friends!"

You're including me
as one of your friends?

Thank you, Naegi!

Uh-huh!

Super High School-Level Grappler [LOL]!

A locked-room m*rder [LOL]!

I came to realize something.

Parentheses are amazing! No matter
how negative something sounds,

if you throw "LOL" in some parentheses
after it, it becomes positive!

Now then, there are currently
seven students still alive and kicking.

Think those numbers are
gonna drop again? Or will they...?

What can I do right now...?

"Naegi: We've just gotta get out of here!
All of us together, as friends!"

Right now, all I can do is
believe in my friends.

Naegi!

"Game Room"

Did something happen?

S-Sakura is...

Ohgami...?

The door won't open!

Ohgami, open the door!

She hasn't responded
to a thing I've said...

Not good!

Either the door is locked...

or something on the other
side is jamming it shut.

What now? What should I do?

Ohgami!

Ding dong, dang dong!
A body has been found.

After a set period of free time, we
will commence the classroom trial!

No...!

So it's happened yet again.

No way!

Is Sakura... dead?

The others... I have
to go get the others...

Asahina!

I'm fine.

I'll be fine.

"Commence the Investigation"

There are signs indicating that
she was hit on the head twice.

"Condition of Ohgami's Corpse"

Her mouth shows
that she vomited blood.

"Kirigiri's Testimony after Investigating the Body"

"2nd Year Ohgami"

"2nd Year Ohgami"
A powder is covering the instep of her feet.

"Yellow Powder Covering Her Feet"
A powder is covering the instep of her feet.

Kirigiri, you're amazing.

It still gets to me when I see a body...

I'm sure that I worked with
corpses before I came here...

No, it's nothing.

That aside, the door to the crime
scene was blocked from the inside.

This was a locked-room m*rder.

"Game Room's Door"

"A locked-room m*rder"...?

"Monokuma Bottles"

The door was jammed shut...

"Upside Down Magazine"
The door was jammed shut...

How did the culprit manage to k*ll Ohgami...?

"Bloodstain in Front of the Magazine Rack"
How did the culprit manage to k*ll Ohgami...?

"Figure that Fell to the Floor"

Th-The ogre!

Oh, dear! She's as dead as they come.

You heard the Corpse Discovery
Announcement, didn't you?

Togami...

Hagakure...

Fukawa...

The person who k*lled Sakura
had to be one of you three!

What... makes you say that?

You see, Sakura... asked the three of
them to come see her in the game room!

What's this all about?

The culprit has to be one
of the last three people

to have seen Sakura alive!

"Surviving Members: 7 Remaining"

"What do you desire?" My ears rang;
I couldn't believe what I was hearing

Looks like my world is going buggy on me

Worldly desires obstruct everything--
According to him, that's a fair trade

Giving in to temptation,
I was mesmerized by his nonsense

Everyone is required to play the King's Game

He won't listen to any "right to refuse" nonsense

included, "k*ll that crowd"

Claiming you lack desires is a lie

No point in being a hypocrite

Didn't I wanna become a hero? ┐[ ∵ ]┌ "Upupu"
