How dare you harm my comrade!

27
00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:40,833
I'll get payback a trillion times over!

28
00:01:41,583 --> 00:01:44,166
If you intend to continue your invasion...

29
00:01:44,791 --> 00:01:48,500
then our Shibuya Faction won't stand by idly.

30
00:01:48,916 --> 00:01:51,541
Tch! The sound effect cut into my line.

31
00:01:51,833 --> 00:01:52,833
Should I repeat it?

32
00:01:52,833 --> 00:01:54,708
I can't stand your grumbling!

33
00:01:55,166 --> 00:01:58,791
If I turn you into a lump of flesh, would that shut you up?!

34
00:01:59,375 --> 00:02:01,750
I don't give a damn about your Shibuya Faction!

35
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:05,625
Shinjuku

36
00:02:02,166 --> 00:02:05,708
We'll cut you all down and seize this country!

37
00:02:06,041 --> 00:02:07,166
She ad-libbed?

38
00:02:07,625 --> 00:02:10,625
This girl... is incredibly good at playing off others.

39
00:02:11,208 --> 00:02:15,291
The audience wasn't able to hear the

40
00:02:11,209 --> 00:02:15,291
play's first utterance of "Shibuya Faction,"

41
00:02:15,625 --> 00:02:18,166
but she mentioned it again in a line that

42
00:02:15,626 --> 00:02:18,166
sounds like something Tsurugi would say.

43
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:20,291
Her timing was quite natural, too.

44
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:30,541
Sure enough, actors who've been

45
00:02:26,376 --> 00:02:30,541
at it their whole lives are a different breed.

46
00:02:30,958 --> 00:02:34,291
No matter how reckless I am, it seems

47
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:34,291
she'll cover for me, which is reassuring.

48
00:02:34,958 --> 00:02:37,500
I've never performed with someone so easy to act with.

49
00:02:40,125 --> 00:02:42,708
Well, two vs. one isn't exactly fair odds.

50
00:02:43,541 --> 00:02:45,625
Let us meet again another day!

51
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:49,166
Hey! Don't run away, you dimwit!

52
00:02:49,166 --> 00:02:51,208
You chicken... with tartar sauce!

53
00:02:56,041 --> 00:02:59,625
The Shinjuku Faction... They seem like trouble.

54
00:03:00,541 --> 00:03:03,333
They're a group of fools with zero forethought.

55
00:03:03,916 --> 00:03:07,625
They think if they can defeat all

56
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:07,625
the oath sword wielders, that's good enough.

57
00:03:09,625 --> 00:03:12,791
What should we do? They're sure to attack.

58
00:03:14,666 --> 00:03:19,291
I'm the princess's right-hand man.

59
00:03:14,667 --> 00:03:19,291
I merely obey my liege's orders.

60
00:03:20,083 --> 00:03:26,625
Asking your opinion was pointless, I see.

61
00:03:20,084 --> 00:03:26,625
Could you try actually showing a human touch?

62
00:03:30,708 --> 00:03:33,208
Princess Saya, your decision, please.

63
00:03:42,875 --> 00:03:47,375
Volume 14

64
00:03:42,876 --> 00:03:47,375
Revised Script

65
00:03:42,877 --> 00:03:47,375
Conclusion

66
00:03:44,083 --> 00:03:47,250
When the script was rewritten,

67
00:03:44,084 --> 00:03:47,250
this part changed the most.

68
00:03:48,208 --> 00:03:50,750
Princess Saya's long monologue was cut short.

69
00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:53,875
It's a scene where we want her to

70
00:03:51,251 --> 00:03:53,875
express her dignity as the leader,

71
00:03:53,875 --> 00:03:57,541
and her opposition to Shinjuku,

72
00:03:53,876 --> 00:03:57,541
through movement alone...

73
00:04:00,958 --> 00:04:03,416
If we draw our swords, there will be bloodshed.

74
00:04:12,333 --> 00:04:16,958
However, there are some things that cannot

75
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:16,958
be protected without taking up arms.

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,083
We shall fight.

77
00:04:31,208 --> 00:04:35,708
Even the sentiments of Princess Saya that

78
00:04:31,209 --> 00:04:35,708
we cut are being conveyed by her acting.

79
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:40,041
All of the inconsistencies in the

80
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:40,041
previous script have been resolved!

81
00:04:40,958 --> 00:04:43,291
That girl's... magnificent!

82
00:04:50,166 --> 00:04:51,916
Shinjuku and Shibuya...

83
00:04:52,666 --> 00:04:58,291
The two factions, unable to coexist,

84
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:58,291
finally face the moment of their decisive battle.

85
00:05:08,625 --> 00:05:09,666
Let's do this!

86
00:05:15,208 --> 00:05:17,375
The road's closed, Blade!

87
00:05:17,958 --> 00:05:20,458
If you want past, your head stays here!

88
00:05:20,958 --> 00:05:21,875
This's getting exciting!

89
00:05:23,375 --> 00:05:24,541
Go on ahead, Blade!

90
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:26,625
We'll handle things here!

91
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:30,666
Kizami! Go and settle things with Monme!

92
00:05:31,416 --> 00:05:32,333
I'm on it!

93
00:05:36,625 --> 00:05:38,166
Princess Saya's in the inner chamber!

94
00:05:38,166 --> 00:05:39,458
Charge through all at once!

95
00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:44,833
This lineup brings back memories, eh?

96
00:05:45,375 --> 00:05:46,375
Monme!

97
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:51,666
I never thought you'd make it this far, Kizami-san.

98
00:05:52,083 --> 00:05:54,291
After all, you're weaker than me.

99
00:05:55,250 --> 00:06:00,958
It's true that I'm weak. But I've come this far

100
00:05:55,251 --> 00:06:00,958
because I don't stand alone!

101
00:06:01,958 --> 00:06:04,166
It's time to settle this, Monme!

102
00:06:04,625 --> 00:06:07,291
Try all you want, but it'll end the same way.

103
00:06:07,291 --> 00:06:09,833
There's no way to know that without squaring off!

104
00:06:10,541 --> 00:06:12,166
I'll let you handle the small fries.

105
00:06:12,708 --> 00:06:14,541
I'll go crush the enemy leader.

106
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,375
I'll swiftly put an end to this battle.

107
00:06:18,125 --> 00:06:19,750
You look pretty tough.

108
00:06:20,291 --> 00:06:22,083
Let's see what you've actually got!

109
00:06:34,458 --> 00:06:35,208
Huh?

110
00:06:35,875 --> 00:06:39,416
I charged ahead so fast,

111
00:06:35,876 --> 00:06:39,416
I'm the only one who made it here...

112
00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:46,875
Wait, isn't this my chance to take down

113
00:06:41,834 --> 00:06:46,875
Princess Saya and make them admit defeat?!

114
00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:49,916
Show yourself, oni princess!

115
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:04,125
So you must be Princess Saya!

116
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,291
You're of mixed blood?

117
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:10,833
Do you also believe that mixed blood

118
00:07:06,834 --> 00:07:10,833
is inferior to pure blood?

119
00:07:12,333 --> 00:07:13,583
Just as ever...

120
00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:16,833
she has a look like, "My acting is right."

121
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:19,958
What is it she doesn't like about me so much?

122
00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:22,125
Draw your sword!

123
00:07:22,541 --> 00:07:25,500
Against you, this will be enough.

124
00:07:25,958 --> 00:07:27,583
You dare to underestimate me?

125
00:07:30,708 --> 00:07:32,250
I won't lose, Kana-chan.

126
00:07:33,833 --> 00:07:37,166
It's because of you that I'm here now.

127
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:42,083
Though, you probably don't remember

128
00:07:38,376 --> 00:07:42,083
what happened way back when.

129
00:07:43,166 --> 00:07:48,541
For so, so long - for all these years - I've been waiting

130
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:50,291
for this moment.

131
00:08:20,416 --> 00:08:21,250
Rewind it!

132
00:08:21,583 --> 00:08:23,000
Rewind it, Mom!

133
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:26,208
You sure do love Kana-chan, don't you, Akane?

134
00:08:26,208 --> 00:08:30,458
Well, she's amazing! She's the genius child actor

135
00:08:26,209 --> 00:08:30,458
who can cry in ten seconds flat!

136
00:08:31,250 --> 00:08:37,583
She's cute, good at acting,

137
00:08:31,251 --> 00:08:37,583
and speaks clearly even with adults!

138
00:08:38,791 --> 00:08:41,833
She's awesome... Simply incredible...

139
00:08:42,375 --> 00:08:44,958
Then, why don't you take up acting, too?

140
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:50,416
Oh, good idea! We actually got a pamphlet for

141
00:08:45,251 --> 00:08:50,416
a children's theater company the other day.

142
00:08:50,791 --> 00:08:51,416
Look!

143
00:08:51,958 --> 00:08:53,833

I-I couldn't do that.

146
00:08:57,625 --> 00:09:03,000
I-I'm shy, I get scared easily...

147
00:09:04,250 --> 00:09:06,500
I can't do anything.

148
00:09:07,458 --> 00:09:10,541
Maybe it'll help you come out of your shell.

149
00:09:10,541 --> 00:09:14,583
Yeah, that's right. You might even

150
00:09:10,542 --> 00:09:14,583
become friends with Kana-chan.

151
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:19,833

00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:23,500
If I could become friends with Kana-chan...

164
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:25,958
I would die of happiness.

165
00:09:30,125 --> 00:09:32,000
Pochi and

the Fire

167
00:09:55,083 --> 00:09:57,250
Because I wanted to be like Kana-chan,

168
00:09:58,250 --> 00:09:59,833
I worked so very hard.

169
00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:16,708
Do the Bell Pepper Exercises

170
00:10:15,209 --> 00:10:16,708
dance with Kana-chan!

171
00:10:18,583 --> 00:10:20,500
All to get closer to Kana-chan.

172
00:10:22,666 --> 00:10:24,125
That was my goal...

173
00:10:30,250 --> 00:10:31,750
Oh my, if it isn't Akane-chan's mom!

174

commercial Emiri-chan was in.

177
00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:40,625
Oh, thank you. She was only on screen briefly, though.

178
00:10:40,625 --> 00:10:42,583
Well, I could try straight away!

179
00:10:42,583 --> 00:10:44,500
I really loved her.

Oh, that hat...

186
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:03,916
Th-thank you!

187
00:11:04,833 --> 00:11:06,583
Are you nervous, Kana-chan?

188
00:11:07,791 --> 00:11:08,666
Um...

189
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,791
I'm actually-

190
00:11:09,791 --> 00:11:13,250
Don't worry. It's already been decided you'll get the job.

193
00:11:15,083 --> 00:11:19,333
The audition is just for appearances' sake.

194
00:11:15,084 --> 00:11:19,333
Relax, Kana-chan.

195
00:11:19,833 --> 00:11:21,375
What's this about me?

196
00:11:22,125 --> 00:11:22,750
Huh?

197
00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:24,291
Kana-chan...?

198
00:11:27,833 --> 00:11:30,583
Kana-chan... The real deal...

199
00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:32,250
Oh, crap.

200
00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:43,416
Uh, I'm a fan of yours...

201
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:49,250
So it seems.

00:11:50,541 --> 00:11:51,333
Um...

204
00:11:53,666 --> 00:11:55,833
That guy said something strange.

205
00:11:56,875 --> 00:12:01,958
He was saying they've already decided

206
00:11:56,876 --> 00:12:01,958
to choose you in the audition.

207
00:12:04,416 --> 00:12:06,166
It's some kind of mistake, right?

208
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:08,583
You wouldn't cheat like that, would you?

209
00:12:09,458 --> 00:12:10,750
And what if I did?

If you don't know, allow me to fill you in.

212
00:12:15,041 --> 00:12:17,583
This's what they call a rigged competition.

213
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:21,541
They're holding an audition to give

214
00:12:18,167 --> 00:12:21,541
an appearance of respectability,

215
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:24,958
but the truth is they've decided

216
00:12:21,709 --> 00:12:24,958
to choose me from the start.

217
00:12:26,375 --> 00:12:29,458
Kana-chan... are you okay with that?

218
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:33,875
Of course I am. It means I get work.

219
00:12:34,708 --> 00:12:38,291
Isn't the purpose of an audition to pick

220
00:12:34,709 --> 00:12:38,291
whoever does the best acting?!

221
00:12:38,291 --> 00:12:39,958
Before seeing anyone act-

222
00:12:40,291 --> 00:12:41,708
You don't get it, do you?

223
00:12:42,083 --> 00:12:45,208
For a minor role like this,

224
00:12:42,084 --> 00:12:45,208
anyone with passable acting is fine!

225
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:48,625
So it's natural to use someone

226
00:12:45,501 --> 00:12:48,625
with name recognition like me!

227
00:12:48,625 --> 00:12:50,583
What's important is whether it makes money or not!

A famous child actor will get them better

viewer ratings than one who acts well!

232
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,416
So, it's better to go with one, right?!

233
00:12:57,875 --> 00:12:59,666
Who even cares about the acting?!

234
00:13:03,041 --> 00:13:03,791
No.

235
00:13:05,125 --> 00:13:10,458
That can't be right. You don't really

236
00:13:05,126 --> 00:13:10,458
believe that, do you, Kana-chan?

237
00:13:10,875 --> 00:13:12,791
The idea that acting doesn't matter...

238
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:15,041
I mean, Kana-chan, you're-

239
00:13:15,541 --> 00:13:17,333
Don't talk as if you understand.

240
00:13:18,625 --> 00:13:20,041
And what's with that hat?!

241
00:13:24,458 --> 00:13:28,500
You look like an idiot! I hate people like you the most!

242
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:33,125
Don't go around imitating me!

243
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:55,416
Why?

244
00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:59,833
Why would you say such things?

246
00:14:12,041 --> 00:14:15,791

By now, I can understand a little why

251
00:14:29,542 --> 00:14:36,041
you said those things, Kana-chan.

252
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:39,416
You were scared, weren't you?

253
00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:45,625

You earned more money by singing,

00:14:47,126 --> 00:14:52,125
and adults praised you for it.

00:14:52,791 --> 00:14:56,041
You wanted them to look at you, right?

who can light up the stars.

268
00:15:08,458 --> 00:15:10,625
You matched your pace to those around you,

00:15:11,250 --> 00:15:12,583
synched up with them,

270
00:15:13,666 --> 00:15:16,625
and effectively did the jobs they asked of you.

271
00:15:19,833 --> 00:15:24,166
You planned to live your life

together with everyone, right?

00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,041
But that won't do.

274
00:15:30,416 --> 00:15:32,333
That sort of acting is all wrong.

275
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:39,750
The Kana-chan I loved was a more selfish

276
00:15:33,584 --> 00:15:39,750
and overpowering actress.

277
00:15:43,583 --> 00:15:46,000
She wasn't someone who lit up the stars.

278
00:15:48,041 --> 00:15:53,333
She herself did acting that was

279
00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:53,333
like the dazzling and shining sun.

280
00:15:54,791 --> 00:15:56,666
I don't like the present Kana-chan.

281
00:15:57,791 --> 00:15:58,708
I hate her.

282
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:02,833
You got squashed by all the

283
00:15:59,751 --> 00:16:02,833
grown-ups around you, didn't you?

284
00:16:02,833 --> 00:16:04,708
They said to bring yourself in line with everyone.

285
00:16:09,041 --> 00:16:13,750
Your acting should be more egotistical, stylish,

286
00:16:14,625 --> 00:16:15,541
and amazing...

287
00:16:15,875 --> 00:16:18,666
The kind of acting that devours everyone around you.

288
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:21,041
Don't match the other actors.

289
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:24,666
You need to make them try to match you.

290
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:30,625
Watch me, okay? I can do it myself to a degree now.

291
00:16:31,166 --> 00:16:34,083
The sort of acting that devours those around me.

292
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:37,875
I'll fight to stand out the most.

00:16:39,458 --> 00:16:40,250
So...

294
00:16:42,541 --> 00:16:44,083
come and clash with me!

00:17:02,083 --> 00:17:03,083
Beautiful...

296
00:17:04,875 --> 00:17:10,083
Even among so many actors, and despite being a scene

297
00:17:04,876 --> 00:17:10,083
where each is treated equally in terms of direction,

298
00:17:12,833 --> 00:17:16,083
there's no doubt that right now, this girl's the star.

299
00:17:20,375 --> 00:17:22,708
You're giving a fun performance.

300
00:17:28,291 --> 00:17:30,250
My, my, aren't you lively...

301
00:18:02,791 --> 00:18:05,083
I see... You want to face off, do you?

302
00:18:05,666 --> 00:18:07,791
Or perhaps you want to dance with me?

303
00:18:08,416 --> 00:18:11,458
Now, that's quite a fun proposition.

304
00:18:13,375 --> 00:18:15,666
I also want to settle things between-

00:18:34,625 --> 00:18:35,416
{\an8}Kana

306
00:18:34,626 --> 00:18:35,416
{\an8}Arima

307
00:18:48,916 --> 00:18:50,291
Why'd you suddenly...

308
00:18:51,958 --> 00:18:55,000
Just as I thought, Arima's good at playing off others.

309
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:57,666
While Kurokawa has stepped into the spotlight,

310
00:18:57,666 --> 00:19:00,958
Arima has taken a step back,

311
00:18:57,667 --> 00:19:00,958
bolstering Kurokawa's stage presence.

312
00:19:01,291 --> 00:19:05,208
Fading from view like a stagehand,

313
00:19:01,292 --> 00:19:05,208
she's devoted to being a stage device...

314
00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:07,708
It's the right call for the show as a whole.

315
00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:11,500
From a director's viewpoint, you couldn't

316
00:19:07,709 --> 00:19:11,500
ask for a more serviceable actor.

317
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:15,958
Yes, this is the right thing to do.

318
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,916
If Akane Kurokawa is gonna do great acting,

319
00:19:20,708 --> 00:19:23,708
I should give a performance that supports her.

320
00:19:24,708 --> 00:19:27,375
Turning out a great play makes everyone happy.

321
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:29,000
I have no need for ego.

322
00:19:29,833 --> 00:19:32,083
This is my method of acting.

323
00:19:36,958 --> 00:19:39,625
Look, I'll shine a light on you,

324
00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:42,041
so sparkle even more brightly.

325
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,791
No, not like that.

326
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:52,500
Why're you doing that sort of acting?

327
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:57,000
All I wanted was to face off with you head-on.

328
00:19:58,041 --> 00:20:01,166
I never meant to make you give a performance like that.

329
00:20:55,375 --> 00:20:57,458
I wonder if I was wrong...

330
00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:03,583
As things stand, I just come off as a show-off.

331
00:21:04,291 --> 00:21:07,291
I was egotistical and selfish...

332
00:21:12,625 --> 00:21:13,333
Sorry.

333
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:16,958
That's just fine.

334
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:28,458
Arima's acting is exasperating.

335
00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:33,000
She had this look like,

336
00:21:29,209 --> 00:21:33,000
"I'm cleverly elevating the quality of the play."

337
00:21:35,833 --> 00:21:37,916
She fails to understand herself.

338
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:44,166
After all, she shines brightest when

339
00:21:39,876 --> 00:21:44,166
her face screams, "Look at me"!

340
00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:51,375
If you simply want to beat her,

341
00:21:48,334 --> 00:21:51,375
it's fine to stay this course, though.

342
00:21:53,708 --> 00:21:55,916
You know that's not what I'm after.

343
00:21:56,833 --> 00:21:59,333
That's not the Kana-chan I want to outshine.

344
00:22:02,583 --> 00:22:04,666
I wanna beat her when she's giving it her all.

345
00:22:06,583 --> 00:22:07,208
I see.

346
00:22:08,083 --> 00:22:11,250
In that case, we'll drag her forward into the spotlight.

347
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:14,166
