Re: Creators (2017) s01e08 Episode Script
Everything I Can Do ... I CHOSE This Way of Life
1
The person known as
"The Seeker of a Thousand Miles" told me.
You mean Meteora.
The Military Uniform Princess
isn't gathering us here
to change the world.
And she is planning something very bad.
Is the Military Uniform Princess
someone who would do something like that?
I think so.
She is
Altair is
I think she really hates this world.
-There's no doubt about it.
-Altair.
That's her name.
And this character is based on another character
from a social game called Eternal Wars Megalosphere.
The character's name is Shirotsumekusa.
She looks totally different from her.
That's right. She turned into
a completely different character.
So in other words, Shirotsumekusa and Altair
are completely separate people, right?
Saying that they're separate people
isn't totally accurate.
Altair is a really well-made
secondary creation.
A lot of secondary creations
are just parodies.
But a secondary creation with a plot
that goes past the original story
sometimes gets accepted as a separate story
in its own right.
So if someone other than Matsubara
wrote a different story about me,
does that mean another me
that's not me would be born?
That's not quite true.
If the changes in the new story
fit into the storyline of the original story,
then the stories would still be consistent.
Just now as Kikuchihara said
that the two of them are separate people.
Although they do share
a common base, Megalosphere,
the traits that define them as characters,
their personalities and goals,
have diverged, and Altair is very different from
Shirotsumekusa, an icon with no backbone.
I think this change caused the worlds to separate.
That new world gained the recognition of others,
and Altair's world was established
as a completely independent world.
Then who is Altair's direct creator?
I guess this is it.
This is the video that made Altair famous.
ALTAIR
World Etude
AUTHOR: SETSUNA SHIMAZAKI
I guess that's not the creator's real name.
I tried searching around, but I couldn't find any clues.
I'm sure this is the author,
but the author hasn't been online for three months.
-I will request our specialty division to investigate.
-She
Or it might be a he
If we can find out who it is,
we can proceed to the next action.
Yes. Yes. Everything's okay now.
Please, bring them here immediately.
We have located two authors of stories
with characters that have appeared in this world.
This is the author of Code Babylon,
Shunma Suruga.
Her real name is Chika Ohsawa.
This is the author of
Exclusive Underground, Ryo Yatoji.
His real name is Ryosuke Goda.
I anticipate that, just like everyone here, we will be
requesting your cooperation as Creators in the future.
Hey. I'm Yatoji.
I wrote Code Babylon.
My name is Suruga.
I didn't know you were a female, Suruga.
Yes, I often get mistaken for a man.
So this is the person
who was drawing those pictures.
Amazing.
I'm Matsubara.
I haven't seen you
since we met at Kogakusha's party.
Have we met before? I don't remember.
Do those two not get along?
I don't know the details.
So? I have a deadline. I'm busy.
If you have something to say, keep it short.
-Hey, you, wait.
-What?
Why is a cosplayer from my manga here?
Although, I'd say he's doing a good job.
What do you mean, "did a good job making me"?
I thought you weren't such a bad guy,
but I'm disappointed.
Selesia's god is a million times better than you.
Get your act together.
I thought you were a real man.
The police came to my house all of a sudden,
and talked about some nonsense, and brought me here.
I got a lot to deal with too.
Because I'm a real man.
You're the god of our world.
I have a lot of things I want to say to you.
But saying it wouldn't change anything.
I have no intention to ramble on
like that Military Uniform girl.
But because of that story you spat out,
there are people that died.
There are people who went mad
and are hunting me down.
And then I hear you calling me
a cosplayer like it's nothing.
-It pisses me off.
-I have a bad feeling about this.
Mirokuji, I want you to restrain yourself here.
Mirokuji! Don't do anything
to his right hand and his head.
I'm sorry for asking you to come here.
It's okay.
Nakanogane said this place
is perfect for doing research.
Right now he's searching a bookstore nearby.
We are planning to meet later.
Oh, then that's good.
-What happened? Sota?
-Nothing. I mean
You must have some business.
That's why you contacted me.
Yes.
By the way, did you get any new information?
Information?
Like you found the person
you were looking for, something like that.
We discovered the true identity
of the Military Uniform Princess.
Her name is Altair.
She's a secondary creation from the game
Eternal Wars Megalosphere.
Almost nothing of the original character is preserved.
In order to find the person who created Altair,
we're getting help from Kikuchihara.
Are you worried about something?
No, not at all.
Thinking quietly on your own is good too.
However, if your burden is heavy,
sharing it with someone isn't a bad idea.
I recently
A lot has happened.
I'm not sure where to start.
Meteora, do you?
No, never mind.
I'm your friend.
It's okay. I want you to continue.
For example, what if there was a person,
and that person had a really important friend,
and that friend had a lot of talent,
but the harder that person tried,
the more he felt frustrated,
and felt that the world was unfair.
That person started to feel like that
towards his friend.
And then that person's feelings started to change.
That person was cold to his friend.
But I never meant it!
In the end,
what should that person have done?
Does he want to be forgiven, that person?
If he does want to be forgiven,
then there is only one path.
That person should try to get better than his friend,
and then help his friend.
Jealousy and envy
We shouldn't deny that we feel these emotions.
We should use them as hints
to help us work on things seriously.
However, if you pretend they don't exist,
they turn into filth, and the filth builds up.
The filth will leak out somewhere
and contaminate your heart, and harm the other person,
and then a negative cycle starts.
I hope I was able to answer your question.
That would make me glad.
What do you think, Sota?
It looks like you're the last one.
Götz von Berlichingen!
With the power of the star of dawn,
let loose the arrows that defeat evil!
The village of Magratz. The village chief
Is that girl safe?
Alicetaria.
Pardon my lateness.
-There is almost no one left alive.
-That girl too?
I was too late.
If I was stronger
Haven't you had enough?
Unterwelt.
Until the day that every last human is destroyed
and everything descends into chaos,
do you still intend to spread sorrow,
and stoke the flames of battle?!
Alice.
Mamika.
Sorry about the other day.
Dedication to one's honor is a knight's duty.
Mamika, if your actions were in response
to the answer to your soul's question, then it is so.
You have a tendency for naïveté,
but your heart is strong and pure.
That is why I'm proud
to have you as an ally, Mamika.
What a beautiful world.
Does it look that way to you?
This world does not look beautiful to me.
Everyone is weary of life.
Honor is not upheld.
This is the horrifying world of the gods.
This world is much closer to hell than my world.
And there is no one here
trying to save the world.
This is a very complicated and difficult place.
Everyone is a god, so this world
can't be saved by someone who's just a hero.
But that's why many colors interweave,
making it beautiful, like a jewel.
I'm thankful to the gods.
For creating me.
Your world might be a terrible world,
but the gods created you and put you there
to try to save the world, Alice.
And this world is the place we met.
I'm very happy that it happened.
-Mamika.
-Hey, Alice.
I like you, Alice.
Yeah.
I just wanted to make sure I told you that.
-Mamika?
-Please.
Just like I believe in you,
I want you to believe in me, too,
no matter what happens in the future.
Mamika!
Maid Café, Warming Heart.
How about it? You over there with the straight face.
No, I
You finished your date with Meteora.
Chikujoin
Best answer.
Bingo.
I turned into a Miracle Maid.
I'm Magane Chikujoin.
Peace, yeah.
Well, that's enough of that.
Even I was shocked and amazed.
I've never heard someone gloss over
so many things at once.
Right, Sota?
How do you know my name?
Magane knows anything and everything.
Meteora said it just now. Your name.
Anyone could find that out
just by listening carefully for a bit.
That reminds me,
you were talking to the enemy magical girl in secret
in a café the other day too.
You've let your guard down, Sota.
Well, anyway
Beautiful stories are nice, aren't they?
They're so soft and fluffy,
without even the slightest hint of responsibility.
But you
You're not the main character
of a story like that, right?
Do you think you can get off that easily?
In a world that's as messed-up as this
Well, that doesn't matter.
But it was fun listening.
Even though you were mincing your words.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about something
you want to hide no matter what.
If you don't hide it, your wounds would get exposed.
Your open, pus-filled wounds.
Your wounds.
Let me guess.
For example, that friend you were talking about.
I wonder where that person is now
and what she's doing.
What if she doesn't exist anywhere anymore?
"How does she know?"
That's what that look on your face says.
I love looking at dumb faces like that.
Don't worry.
I haven't the slightest intention
of spreading negative gossip.
Would you believe me?
Oh, you have no choice but to believe me.
Oh, that's right. As a mark of our friendship,
how about going on a lovey-dovey date with me?
We have to exchange contact info.
So that we can stay connected anywhere, anytime.
Here we go.
If you ignore my messages, I'm going to cry.
I've been thinking about this for a long time.
Are you lying to me?
Or are those other guys the ones who are lying to me?
It's true that there are gods in this world?
It's probably also true
that the gods can change our worlds.
But you hid something very important from me.
We can't increase the strength of creation
by disturbing the yoke of the world.
Disturbing the world only increases the distortion
in the worlds that collided.
Right?
Altair.
You finally learned that name.
They told me.
From one of the people you call "the enemy."
That's why I came here.
If you're trying to destroy this world,
then I must stop you.
Because I'm Magical Slayer Mamika.
Because I'm the main character of the story I love.
Why didn't you keep quiet about joining their side?
That would be dishonoring my friends.
Altair, you're my dear friend too.
That's why I want to save you.
What you're doing is revenge, right?
A promise with the god you loved,
the god who loves you.
But the revenge you're planning is so sad.
This world connected you with your god.
Trying to end this world out of revenge
An ending like that, it's so sad.
I hate all of you.
I hate your stories.
I feel like throwing up when I think of
the abhorrent gods that created you.
Spitting out stupid stories.
Everything in this world is vile.
This world rejected my ally.
All she wanted was a place to belong.
Only a tiny humble wish.
But the world humiliated her.
They ignored her existence.
They spat on her and laughed at her.
They treated her like she didn't exist.
Just like it was easy for them,
doing this is easy for me too.
I will destroy everything, including you.
Destroy, and destroy, and destroy more,
until everything in this world disappears.
That is the reason I'm standing here today.
Isn't that just a story she gave you?
It's not to constrain you.
What about you?
Now that you've been released
from the yoke of your story,
why do you wear the mask of a hypocrite?
It's not like that.
I used to be a character who was designed that way.
But after coming to this world, I changed.
I chose this life.
I saw a lot of things after coming to this world.
I met Alice and you.
I decided to become
Magical Slayer Mamika again.
I am the same.
She was abandoned by this world.
I will never forgive the merciless story
that gave her a role like that.
I am not merely following a plot outline
written by someone.
This is something I decided myself.
I heard what happened to that girl.
But I'll show you that I can accept your sadness.
We all carried pain and sadness with us
in our old worlds.
I'm sure I can accept your sadness too.
I want to save your soul.
And
Setsuna's soul.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know what it feels like.
You don't know what her sorrow feels like.
Her wailing, her resentment
You don't know what it feels like.
You don't know.
You have no idea!
