Kakegurui (2017) s01e08 Episode Script

1 Good morning.
Yumeko! What are you looking at? This is She's an indie idol and a member of the student council too.
Oh, I didn't know there was someone like that on the student council.
Yumemi Yumemite.
She's a second-year student.
She's in charge of publicity.
She's gotten three million views on YourTube, and they say she's sure to make it big.
Sometimes, she does concerts at school, but she's so popular, unless you're in her fan club, you can't get in.
- You know a lot about her, huh? - As a classmate, I want to support her, - but the club fees are expensive.
- Thanks, everybody! If you enjoyed it, click "like" and spread the word! Share me with your friends! Huh? What's this? President! Oh, Sayaka.
Where are you going? You didn't tell me.
I'll be leaving the school for a while.
There's something I have to do.
But now's not a good time.
Yesterday, Ikishima and Yumeko Jabami-- I heard.
That's why I have to take care of this.
You can deal with the rest however you wish.
- I'm counting on you.
- But I need you here - Please wait! - That's enough.
It's been a week since then.
The student council isn't always united.
Some plot to increase their power.
Some just want to protect themselves.
Some pursue pleasure.
Some are inscrutable.
The only thing that ties us together is our power as the student council which comes from the authority of the president.
But the appearance of Yumeko Jabami is changing all that.
It's been a week since Ikishima embarrassed herself.
And the student council president hasn't come to school.
- Why? - Well I haven't been told.
Yeah? I was sure she'd have told you.
Then I suppose we'll have to decide what to do with the two who lost to the house pets ourselves.
Neither Ikishima nor Nishinotoin lost.
They saved face with the help of the president and the pity of their enemy.
The rumors are spreading throughout the school, and our reputation is in the gutter.
It's pathetic.
What makes you think you can even come here? Manyuda! It's inappropriate to speak to a third-year student that way.
The concept of "inappropriate" doesn't exist in this school.
You're the closest to the president.
You should understand better than anyone, Sayaka Igarashi.
You try and have at it with Yumeko.
Why do I have to try for a house pet? Yumeko's got guts, a sharp eye trust in her companion, everything she needs.
And more than anything, those eyes! Just thinking of them makes me Ikishima, we're still in the middle of our conference.
Bathroom.
It's not worth listening to the ramblings of a pervert.
Her appraisal isn't wrong.
Yumeko Jabami is a house pet, and that's what makes her so terrifying.
If she uses her right to challenge the president to a match depending on what the game is The president becomes a house pet.
It's the same for anybody, if they lose.
I'll never let that happen! I'm opposed to it.
We should recover the debt we're owed to decrease the amount of money she has.
Did you forget? The president forbids that.
She has a life plan drawn up for her.
YUMEKO JABAMI INVESTIGATIVE REPOR Yes, I suppose she passes.
Leave Yumeko to me! THE GIRL WHO DANCES LOVE - Yumemite, you - Yumemite I'll do it with Yumeko.
I see.
It'd be simple for you to make a stage that would crush Yumeko Jabami.
Right? I want to go big if we're going to do it, though.
I want your help, Manyuda.
Very well.
I'll ensure that all preparations are made.
Wait! We should wait for the president's orders.
No.
I can't stop them on my own.
I don't even know what the president wants.
It's fine! Leave it to us second-year students.
The student council should start thinking about the next generation soon, right? Did something good happen to her? I don't know.
She's been like this all day.
Was there something in that letter? Letter? Jabami-senpai It's been a long time.
I'm Itsuki Sumeragi with the Year One, Flower Class.
Ta-da! Japanese-style Mont Blanc from Seifudo.
I brought it as a present.
That's our It's so good! I know you.
You got fired by the student council a few days ago, right? So, is the plan now to find some dirt on Yumeko and get your job back? How obvious! Oh, no, of course not.
Fine.
I'll tell you everything.
My father The CEO of one of Japan's biggest toymakers, right? I'm jealous that your future is so assured.
It's not like that, though.
My father is a stern and practical man.
He told me to join the student council and develop connections to the political and financial worlds.
That's why I came here.
If I can't do that, he might disown me! Jabami-senpai, is it true that you want to be student council president? It's a rumor I heard.
The students, particularly the house pets, are hopeful.
Despite the money you won at the Debt Settlement Party, you remain a house pet.
Because you want to challenge the president to a match and win her seat.
Yumeko is just gambling because she wants to.
But at some point, the whole school started to revolve around Yumeko.
If that rumor is true, there's only one path for me to take.
I have to have you become student council president.
Then let me join the student council.
I'll do whatever it takes for that.
That's my plan.
I'm not hiding it at all.
Please, let me join you.
Of course, you're welcome! I don't know about being the student council president, but we both gambled together, didn't we? We're friends now, right? That's right.
Is her head filled with flowers? - DVDs on sale! - Her new CD is here! Another amazing concert! Shinnoji, you came to see me again! Of course! As president of your fan club, I'll never miss one! But the clapping was off during "Gambling Girl" today, wasn't it? - I'll make sure it's corrected.
- Don't be too harsh on them.
I'll make sure to train them properly since your major debut is coming up.
That's my responsibility as president.
People like that are skipping out on their quota of 100 YourTube views a day! I won't insist they do it with five smartphones like I do, but they need at least 100 plays a day or they can't say they're a fan! DRESSING ROOM Those pigs are disgusting! Should we at least stop the post-concert meet-and-greet? No.
It can't just be the concerts.
Relating to them one-on-one is what makes them die-hard fans.
But still It's fine, Saori.
This is nothing if it helps me with my dream.
If I can't do this, I can never make my dream come true.
Anyway, when are you sending Yumeko the message? I can do it tomorrow.
Manyuda has prepared the budget.
I see.
I can't wait.
Yumeko's going to bet her life! What? You're gambling with Yumemite? Yes.
Her manager just came by.
Oh, no.
Yumeko has taken out one member of the student council after another.
I'm sure they're after her.
Okay, Manyuda, take care of the rest.
Leave it to me.
With the president gone, now's the perfect chance for us second-year students to take power in the student council.
I'll get the event ready.
Make sure you don't let Jabami beat you.
You're such a worrywart, Manyuda.
May Ryota come with me? A boy? Well, I guess it's okay.
Thank you.
Okay! Wait! I'll get permission now.
I'm sorry.
I was just in a hurry.
Let me pat you down before you enter.
Once in a while, people try to set up cameras and listening devices in her room.
Yes, that's fine.
Welcome.
I'm Yumemi Yumemite.
I'm an idol.
Hello, Yumemite.
Who's that boy? I'm Ryota, with the Year Two, Flower Class-- Ryota Suzui! You came to my concert, right? The second day of the three-day school festival concert! I'm amazed you remember that.
That was a long time ago.
I remember the names and faces of all my fans.
Every good idol does.
So, how are you going to gamble with me? Oh, right.
Gambling.
- Look at this.
- "Top Idol Match"? It sounds like a variety program.
It was actually a plan for a TV show, but if I can do it with you, that'd be great.
In front of everyone, after the concert.
- I hope I don't get in the way.
- Of course you won't.
This concert is our chance to pick a new member.
The bet is 50 million yen.
That's enough to get you out of being a house pet, right? - Yes.
- And if I win, of course, your debt amount will increase.
And if that happens you'll form an idol unit with me.
I'll have your life plan changed to reflect that.
I've even got a unit name.
It's "Dreaming Creaming Sisters"! What? We both have "yume," or "dream" in our names.
Don't you think that's fate? But being an idol isn't always fun.
Lessons are hard, and you don't have a private life.
And of course, romance is out of the question.
You'll have to adjust your whole life around being an idol.
I see.
But why are you so willing to be an idol? Of course, for the smiles of my fans.
Don't lie to me.
You hate your fans, right? What are you saying? That's impossible.
Oh, you're sure? Then what is this? Maybe I'll read a little! "To my beloved Yumemi.
Thanks for your fun concerts! You always do a great job! Lately, you've been so popular on YourTube, I'm very proud to head your fan club.
But as a long-time fan, I'm a little sad.
Lately, I've been busy studying, but when I see how hard you're working" Enough! Yumemi You're right.
So, what? If you're continuing being an idol even though you hate your fans, you must have some kind of strong goal.
If I don't know what that is, then I I want an Academy Award.
I've always wanted one since I was little.
A space where only those with talent, skill, and luck are allowed to walk.
The whole world watching their every move.
I want to be one of the flowers on the red carpet too! I joined an agency, took lessons every day, and got a regular spot on a TV show faster than anybody.
But I realized it was taking too long.
Even if things kept going well, there was no guarantee I could get to the top of Japan.
If I wanted a major role in a Hollywood movie I needed a different approach.
And that was this school and being an idol! With the power of this school, I could easily become the most popular idol.
If I became an actress at the peak of my popularity, I could instantly be one of the top actresses in Japan.
At that point, being in a Hollywood movie would be easy.
That's splendid.
That's why you're doing this even though you hate it, huh? - Interacting with your fans? - That's right.
They're ugly, but that's okay.
That means they're spending money on me instead of their own looks.
But why the hell are they dancing like madmen at my concerts? If you've got time to dance, listen to my songs! Why are you sweating more than I am? Stop trying to shake my hand when yours is sweaty! It's disgusting! It's hard being an idol, huh? Get ready.
You're gonna do it too.
From what you've said, I don't want to be an idol at all.
But dedicating my life to a job like that It's a wonderful risk! I'll teach you all you need to know.
But it's not a fun game unless we're both betting our lives, right? What are you? I took the liberty of recording this conversation.
To be honest, I didn't think the letter would be good enough.
If this goes public, your life as an idol is over, right? Why are you sweating more than I am? Stop trying to shake my hands when yours are sweaty! It's disgusting! - Yumeko - Why? Why does Saori have that? No, I That was when Let's bet this voice recorder, too.
Give me that! Don't worry.
I wouldn't do anything so crude as make copies.
If I can gamble, that's good enough for me.
I'll look forward to the day of the game.
Well Yumeko! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! Because of me, your dream our dream Fine, then! Yumeko Jabami! I'll make you regret messing with me! Yumeko? That voice recorder It was in there along with the fan letter, as if to say, "Use this to threaten her.
" I wonder who put it there.
I don't know.
I put that letter here to burn it later.
And I always lock the door tightly.
I can't believe anyone could steal it when we were here.
In other words, the one who did it had a master key.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Hello? President, you alive? Things are getting kind of fun here.
You'd better come back soon, or who knows what will happen to the school? "OF COURSE YOU CAN" BATTLE! That was "I'll Blackjack You"! Thank you, everyone! You're the best! I'm afraid that's all for today's concert, but What? Just like I said, I'm about to pick a new member! It's finally time for Yumeko to appear.
Wait, do we really have to stay until the end? We didn't need you here anyway.
I just got enough tickets for everyone because Jabami-senpai insisted.
Saotome, these premium tickets aren't usually something you're able to get.
Do you know how hard I had to work to get them from a fan club member? Fine.
You already told me.
I'll introduce you! Or do you know her already? She's made quite a name for herself since coming to school last month.
Hyakkao Academy, Year Two, Flower Class, Yumeko Jabami! Jabami-senpai looks so cute in that outfit! Tell us how you're feeling, Yumeko! I've never had an opportunity like this, so I'm nervous, - but I'll enjoy myself as much as I can.
- Okay! Here we go! It's time for the "Top Idol Match 'Of Course You Can' Battle!" Let's get started! - Yumemi! We love you! - You can only win by dumb luck! - Just luck.
That's a perfect game! - Yumemi's future will be over.
Thank you for cheering me on till now.
