In/Spectre (2020) s01e11 Episode Script
The Ultimate Fiction
1
Rikka-san is quite skilled.
She'll present an argument on her own,
literally die for it on her own,
then come back to life on
her own to retake the flow.
But I'm not alone.
Kuro-senpai and I won't
let you have your way.
Right. Even if the third solution is rejected,
it's not like all of them
have gone in that direction.
Some percentage should've switched
over to the side that doesn't believe
in the ghost named Steel Lady Nanase.
And I'm not worried about a small
percentage that may have dissented.
Huh?
I'm sure there are some who've been
satisfied with the explanation thus far,
but they aren't part of my calculations.
Rikka-san is thinking the same thing as you
and deciding her futures by selecting
the ones with the fewest dissenters.
She's assuming that I'm trying to
chip away at her influence in stages.
But that's where my trap begins.
My solutions thus far have included
the previous ones to some extent.
Detective Terada investigating
Steel Lady Nanase on his own.
Nanase Karin's father leaving behind
a damning handwritten note.
Even if they reject the
conclusions of each solution,
the basic elements themselves
have not been rejected.
Even though our third
solution was just rejected,
as well as the portrait
of the killer from it,
no one has doubted the part where
I said that Nanase Karin's sister was
the one who gave the media the note.
Rikka-san will be satisfied
as long as the conclusion of
"a ghost named Nanase Karin
doesn't exist" isn't believed.
So there's no reason to destroy
my solutions at their roots.
She can achieve her goal just
by crushing the conclusions.
If she tried to start destroying any
other part besides the conclusion,
she'd stand out more.
Therefore, Rikka-san is forced
to take the simplest option.
B-But then
Is she saying that what
Rikka-san is doing now
The futures she has chosen
are all part of her plan?
All of the preparations have been made.
All that's left is to unleash the final blow.
Fiction is born within the fiction
and inverts itself into truth.
Then Steel Lady Nanase will disappear.
Let us move on to the fourth solution!
Even then, Steel Lady Nanase is fiction!
The three solutions I've presented thus far
were just the foundation to
get to the actual truth.
There is someone behind this.
The one who created a ghost named Steel
Lady Nanase and killed Detective Terada.
We've been waiting for this!
Anonymous
Just give it up.
Anon
Jeez, you're persistent.
Nameless
The one behind all this is
none other than Nanase Karin,
Nanase Haruko herself.
She's not dead!
The one who died at the construction site
was someone else made to look like Karin!
If you have a faceless corpse, it's a given
that they've actually been
switched out with someone else.
The real Nanase Karin is still alive.
But that was debunked earlier.
Come on. No one believes
that TV drama-esque story.
But if Nanase Karin was alive,
there'd be no Steel Lady Nanase.
Nanase Karin lost her
family and was all alone.
If I just wait a while,
the rumors will settle down.
I mean, I won't be able
to be an idol anymore
But I'm still young.
I still have time to start over.
Excuse me!
Huh?
I'm sorry, I know this is sudden.
But I was just thinking
that you look like me.
And that was when she met her.
Though their faces were different,
the length of her hair, her physique,
and their ages were quite similar.
Let's just call her A-san for now.
No one knows what A-san's
circumstances were.
Perhaps she didn't have any friends or family,
or she suffered from a mental illness.
But unfortunately, Nanase Karin found her.
If I can leave Nanase Karin behind
and start over as a new person
That temptation led her to commit a crime.
Say
I have a favor to ask.
Nanase Karin managed to cleverly
coax A-san into her hotel room,
and had her touch her personal belongings.
She made sure to get rid of her
own fingerprints around the room,
ensuring that only A-san's would remain.
I'm sure A-san had some reason
to want to help Nanase Karin out.
After being depressed
and considering suicide,
Nanase Karin coincidentally stopped her,
making A-san dependent on her.
One might also think she was
promised financial assistance,
so she was willing to cooperate.
So I'm going to act as your
decoy and lead the media away.
Do you think it'll actually work?
They might figure it out right away,
and I might not be much help.
You'll be fine.
See? It's perfect. Don't worry.
Look over there. See that construction site?
The media won't come over there.
It's the perfect place to meet.
Let's meet there tonight.
If Nanase Karin hadn't met A-san,
she probably would've let
the rumors run their course,
and would've been able
to live a happy life.
But while in the pit of despair,
she had encountered a chance
to dramatically restart her life.
A-san's face was crushed beyond
recognition by the steel beams.
This would make it impossible
to identify her that way.
And that would explain that mystery.
Why did Nanase Karin let the steel beams
hit her without any signs of struggle?
That's because the body wasn't her own.
It belonged to someone else
who'd fallen unconscious and
had the steel beams fall on her.
Nanase Karin finished falsifying
the scene and fled.
City Hall
She then used A-san's
identity to begin a new life.
She was thus freed from her past.
Thank you very much.
Here's your driver's license back.
She would've had to change
her appearance to make sure
no one would recognize her,
but that probably wasn't that difficult.
Someone as gutsy and determined as
her would've been able to do it.
The body that was found at the
construction site in Makurazaka City
on January 30th of this year
did not belong to Nanase Karin.
She used the faceless corpse
trick to fool us all.
Nanase Karin is alive and well.
Therefore, there could never be
a ghost like Steel Lady Nanase!
Then what about Steel Lady Nanase?
That just means Nanase
Karin made her up, right?
Why, though?

If Nanase Karin's alive,
what the heck is Steel Lady Nanase?
If a ghost appeared, that would mean
Nanase Karin was definitely dead.
Anon
So it was to make sure people
really thought she was dead.
Anonymous
But if that's the case, isn't it a bit
late for Steel Lady Nanase to show up?
Wait, when did the rumors
of Nanase's ghost start?
Around June of this year!
Around February, everyone was still
freaking out about Nanase Karin's accident.
Wouldn't that just be stirring
up the hornet's nest?
There's no way Nanase Karin spread
the Steel Lady Nanase rumors.
There's too great a risk that
they'd find out she's alive.
The site's viewers are now actively
trying to solve the mystery.
Nameless
Hang on a sec.
Nanase Karin was living her life
just fine until around May
But then maybe people started a rumor that
there was someone who looked like her.
That's totally possible.

Plastic surgery takes a
while and has its limits.
I get it. And then,
Nanase Karin moved away.
But if she thought the same thing
would happen in the future
So to make Nanase Karin completely
dead in people's minds,
she created Steel Lady Nanase!
They're drawing their own conclusions.
They've taken the three
solutions they were offered,
changed the stories and the people in them,
and kept certain elements.
So does that mean Nanase Karin
dressed up as Steel Lady
Nanase and attacked people?
I'm sure she did a couple times.
To make the rumor spread faster,
she wore that dress and bow,
and had a steel beam.
She made her boobs jiggle, too.
She didn't want anyone to
think it was an astral body,
so she created a character named
Steel Lady Nanase that walked around
with a smashed face and
carried a steel beam.
This logic about why Steel
Lady Nanase was needed
It's the same as the third solution.
Picking up pieces from that
solution will give you the answer.
She basically
showed them how fun it is to logically
try to explain an urban legend.
So this was the real reason why
she gave multiple solutions.

Steel Lady Nanase doesn't exist.
The Ultimate Fiction
We've won!
Not yet.
I haven't delivered the final blow yet.
Rikka-san, I'm not going to let
you grasp the future you desire.
Because there is an order to
this world that must not be
infringed upon by anyone.
Exactly!
In order to make herself completely
dead in the public's eyes,
Nanase Karin created Steel Lady Nanase
and tried to make sure the ghost character
came to people's minds instantly.
Anon
And this might've all happened
because someone pointed out
that she looked like Nanase Karin.
In order to make sure no one figured out
the swapping of bodies and
the faceless corpse trick,
she decided to do something extreme.
Nanase Karin started to appear
in Makurazaka City every night
and act out Steel Lady Nanase.
Since she was playing the
ghost version of herself,
I'm sure it seemed convincing.
The rumors spread, and that name
became a huge hit on the Internet.
And to make sure the
rumor spread effectively,
she did something specific.
Yes.
She created this Steel
Lady Nanase Wiki herself!
Nanase Karin!
I know that you created this site,
and that you're the admin!
What?
Nameless
Anon
No way
I'm sure you're reading
my posts as we speak.
I've been working to expose
you from the very beginning!
This site spread the rumors about
Steel Lady Nanase at an ungodly rate
and magnified them.
The spread of information
was just too convenient.
But of course it was.
Because, as the one behind this,
you had all the information, managed all
of this, and created Steel Lady Nanase.
You tried to reject every single
solution that I presented.
Name: kuebiko 09/05 00:21 ID. ID.Mmimn43
You tried to reject every single solution that I presented.
All of my solutions were intended
to erase Steel Lady Nanase,
and having anyone conclude
that the ghost was fake
would've messed things up for you.
You're trying to make sure
the rumors spread further,
so passing on from this life
would not be ideal.
That's why you tried to
refute everything I said,
and even tried to moderate my posts.
This is such a lie.
The one who created the site
and runs it is Rikka-san!
I'm pretty sure I told you from
the start that I'd be lying.
You made this site so that you could
spread rumors about Steel Lady Nanase?!
Karin-chan! Did you see my post?!
I just came here for info
about the urban legend,
I came here at a good time.
but damn, I could totally
see Karin-chan doing this.
The truth is irrelevant in this assembly.
To anyone who believes this lie,
this very site that they're looking at
is the front line of the
Steel Lady Nanase case.
And now, I will explain why
you killed Detective Terada.
Hell yeah!
Lay it all out there!
Is she really alive?
I don't want to believe that she's a murderer.
The real problem is killing the detective.
Is Nanase Karin going to be arrested?
What's going to happen?
Last night, you were in Makurazaka City.
To further spread rumors
about Steel Lady Nanase,
you were going to check out the next
location you planned to cause a scene at.
The detective who believed
Steel Lady Nanase was human saw you
and thought you were suspicious.
You were probably dressed normally,
but the detective didn't overlook
the fact that your boobs were huge.
Those boobs that reminded
him of Steel Lady Nanase
made his detective's intuition go to work.
I heard that Terada-san
wasn't a fan of big breasts.
The same could be said for Kuro-senpai.
Considering my petite frame
Kuro-kun doesn't actually judge women
based on their chest size or appearance.
Could you hurry up with the rest?
Lately, there've been sightings of a
suspicious person around Makurazaka City.
I'd like you to answer a few questions.
What are you doing here?
Um I'm heading to the convenience
store to buy a few things.
I got a little hungry.
This was the last thing
you expected to hear.
Have I seen her before?
No, I've seen her many times. That face
Nanase
Nanase Karin
A person who was supposed to be
dead was standing before him,
leaving the usually capable detective
panicked and defenseless.
You saw your chance, and you took it.
After rendering Detective Terada unconscious,
you decided to make it look like
Steel Lady Nanase was behind this.
If there was no sign that the
capable detective fought back
and his face was smashed in,
it'd be hard for people to believe that
a woman like you committed the crime.
And then you got rid of any
trace of you having been there
and fled the scene.
This is the extent of your crimes.
If you choose to refute this,
as well, please, be my guest.
But if you can, I'd like you to prove
that you are not Nanase Karin.
I'll say it again
Nanase Karin, you are the killer!
This is such a terrible lie!
Who's this poster?
Name: kuebiko 09/05 00:25

Is Nanase Karin really the
admin and the killer?
So Steel Lady Nanase's fake?
I wonder if Nanase Karin's going
to get arrested if she's alive.
Maybe they're involved
in the case.

If they're a ghost they'll
probably appear again.

I still don't believe it!
There's no way she could've actually switched places with someone!
No idea. How the hell are
we supposed to know?
There's no way she could've actually
switched places with someone!
There were so many sightings up
until yesterday. Isn't this weird?
But if it is true, we just
witnessed something insane!
Did we just witness a
case getting solved?
So is it true or a lie?
Oh, yeah. Did anyone actually
see Steel Lady Nanase today?
She pulled them all in.
This website is part of the killer's plot.
And the reason the first three solutions
were rejected was also because of them.
I'll say it again. Nanase Karin, you are the killer!
She just managed to
destroy Steel Lady Nanase
by simply saying that
Nanase Karin's alive.
I can't believe you came up with all this!
But what if the actual admin
of the site, Rikka-san,
just says she's not Nanase Karin?
And who would believe that?
The masses now believe that
Nanase Karin is the admin
and love that idea so much
that they're running with it.
Whether she decides to
admit to that or not,
this wave of thought
isn't going to change.
Iwanaga-san used the first three
solutions to feed them basic elements
that would make them believe
her ultimate solution.
She couldn't have done it had the future
not been predetermined excessively.
Through his repeated deaths, he chose
future after future to destroy the monster.
Kuro-senpai has decided the future.
Rikka-san won't be able to reach
any options to change this future.
She won't be able to control Steel
Lady Nanase with that site anymore.
Now, ladies and gentlemen
of the committee
It is time for the voting to begin.
Does a ghost named Steel Lady
Nanase exist or doesn't she?
You don't need to do anything special.
Your votes will be cast automatically,
no matter what you choose.
I just need you to freely make
your wish in your own mind,
based on your own conscience.
There are true spectres in this world,
but there are also many false ones.
Fiction reverts to fiction.
The monster born from lies
shall be destroyed by lies, as well.

Her physique and presence are pretty noticeable, so if someone who knew about idols ran into her, that might've started a rumor.

I see. And that's why Nanase Karin moved away from there.
But if she thought the same thing would happen in the future

Yeah. So to make Nanase Karin completely dead in people's minds, she created Steel Lady Nanase!
Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:16 ID.kfdsew
So does that mean Nanase Karin dressed up as Steel Lady Nanase and attacked people?
Name: Anonymous 09/05 00:16 ID.nvmcsd
I'm sure she did a couple times. To make the rumor spread faster, she wore that dress and bow, and had a steel beam. She made her boobs jiggle, too.

She didn't want anyone to think it was an astral body, so she created a character named Steel Lady Nanase that walked around with a smashed face and carried a steel beam. She made sure the name left an impression, too.

She walked around town as a ghost swinging around a steel beam so the rumors would spread faster.

With all that manipulation happening, anyone would think that Nanase Karin's grudge caused her to come back as the ghost Steel Lady Nanase.

The only one who could've prepared everything so quickly out of everyone involved is Nanase Karin.

But if you think about it rationally, not doing anything would probably be best.

Nanase Karin's always been pretty perceptive. Maybe she felt something was going to go wrong.

So does that mean Nanase Karin is behind everything?

Wait, maybe she wanted to make sure it looked like the crimes couldn't be committed by one person.

But she just started her new life. Would she risk it by doing all this?
But that's no longer the case.
Now, the site's viewers are trying to
use that imagination to prove that
Steel Lady Nanase doesn't exist.
The Ultimate Fiction
We've won!
Not yet.
I haven't delivered the final blow yet.
Rikka-san, I'm not going to let
you grasp the future you desire.
Because there is an order to
this world that must not be
infringed upon by anyone.
Exactly!
In order to make herself completely
dead in the public's eyes,
Nanase Karin created Steel Lady Nanase
and tried to make sure the ghost character
came to people's minds instantly.
Anon
And this might've all happened
because someone pointed out
that she looked like Nanase Karin.
In order to make sure no one figured out
the swapping of bodies and
the faceless corpse trick,
she decided to do something extreme.
Nanase Karin started to appear
in Makurazaka City every night
and act out Steel Lady Nanase.
Since she was playing the
ghost version of herself,
I'm sure it seemed convincing.
The rumors spread, and that name
became a huge hit on the Internet.
And to make sure the
rumor spread effectively,
she did something specific.
Yes.
She created this Steel
Lady Nanase Wiki herself!
Nanase Karin!
I know that you created this site,
and that you're the admin!
What?
Nameless
Anon
No way
I'm sure you're reading
my posts as we speak.
I've been working to expose
you from the very beginning!
This site spread the rumors about
Steel Lady Nanase at an ungodly rate
and magnified them.
The spread of information
was just too convenient.
But of course it was.
Because, as the one behind this,
you had all the information, managed all
of this, and created Steel Lady Nanase.
You tried to reject every single
solution that I presented.

You tried to reject every single solution that I presented.
All of my solutions were intended
to erase Steel Lady Nanase,
and having anyone conclude
that the ghost was fake
would've messed things up for you.
You're trying to make sure
the rumors spread further,
so passing on from this life
would not be ideal.
That's why you tried to
refute everything I said,
and even tried to moderate my posts.
This is such a lie.
The one who created the site
and runs it is Rikka-san!
I'm pretty sure I told you from
the start that I'd be lying.
You made this site so that you could
spread rumors about Steel Lady Nanase?!
Karin-chan! Did you see my post?!
I just came here for info
about the urban legend,
I came here at a good time.
but damn, I could totally
see Karin-chan doing this.
The truth is irrelevant in this assembly.
To anyone who believes this lie,
this very site that they're looking at
is the front line of the
Steel Lady Nanase case.
And now, I will explain why
you killed Detective Terada.
Hell yeah!
Lay it all out there!
Is she really alive?
I don't want to believe that she's a murderer.
The real problem is killing the detective.
Is Nanase Karin going to be arrested?
What's going to happen?
Last night, you were in Makurazaka City.
To further spread rumors
about Steel Lady Nanase,
you were going to check out the next
location you planned to cause a scene at.
The detective who believed
Steel Lady Nanase was human saw you
and thought you were suspicious.
You were probably dressed normally,
but the detective didn't overlook
the fact that your boobs were huge.
Those boobs that reminded
him of Steel Lady Nanase
made his detective's intuition go to work.
I heard that Terada-san
wasn't a fan of big breasts.
The same could be said for Kuro-senpai.
Considering my petite frame
Kuro-kun doesn't actually judge women
based on their chest size or appearance.
Could you hurry up with the rest?
Lately, there've been sightings of a
suspicious person around Makurazaka City.
I'd like you to answer a few questions.
What are you doing here?
Um I'm heading to the convenience
store to buy a few things.
I got a little hungry.
This was the last thing
you expected to hear.
Have I seen her before?
No, I've seen her many times. That face
Nanase
Nanase Karin
A person who was supposed to be
dead was standing before him,
leaving the usually capable detective
panicked and defenseless.
You saw your chance, and you took it.
After rendering Detective Terada unconscious,
you decided to make it look like
Steel Lady Nanase was behind this.
If there was no sign that the
capable detective fought back
and his face was smashed in,
it'd be hard for people to believe that
a woman like you committed the crime.
And then you got rid of any
trace of you having been there
and fled the scene.
This is the extent of your crimes.
If you choose to refute this,
as well, please, be my guest.
But if you can, I'd like you to prove
that you are not Nanase Karin.
I'll say it again
Nanase Karin, you are the killer!
This is such a terrible lie!
Who's this poster?

What a sudden turn of events! So Nanase Karin's alive?
Is Nanase Karin really the
admin and the killer?
So Steel Lady Nanase's fake?
I wonder if Nanase Karin's going
to get arrested if she's alive.
Maybe they're involved
in the case.

I still don't believe it!
If they're a ghost they'll
probably appear again.

I still don't believe it!
There's no way she could've actually switched places with someone!
No idea. How the hell are
we supposed to know?
There's no way she could've actually
switched places with someone!
There were so many sightings up
until yesterday. Isn't this weird?
But if it is true, we just
witnessed something insane!
Did we just witness a
case getting solved?
So is it true or a lie?
Oh, yeah. Did anyone actually
see Steel Lady Nanase today?
She pulled them all in.
This website is part of the killer's plot.
And the reason the first three solutions
were rejected was also because of them.
I'll say it again. Nanase Karin, you are the killer!
She just managed to
destroy Steel Lady Nanase
by simply saying that
Nanase Karin's alive.
I can't believe you came up with all this!
But what if the actual admin
of the site, Rikka-san,
just says she's not Nanase Karin?
And who would believe that?
The masses now believe that
Nanase Karin is the admin
and love that idea so much
that they're running with it.
Whether she decides to
admit to that or not,
this wave of thought
isn't going to change.
Iwanaga-san used the first three
solutions to feed them basic elements
that would make them believe
her ultimate solution.
She couldn't have done it had the future
not been predetermined excessively.
Through his repeated deaths, he chose
future after future to destroy the monster.
Kuro-senpai has decided the future.
Rikka-san won't be able to reach
any options to change this future.
She won't be able to control Steel
Lady Nanase with that site anymore.
Now, ladies and gentlemen
of the committee
It is time for the voting to begin.
Does a ghost named Steel Lady
Nanase exist or doesn't she?
You don't need to do anything special.
Your votes will be cast automatically,
no matter what you choose.
I just need you to freely make
your wish in your own mind,
based on your own conscience.
There are true spectres in this world,
but there are also many false ones.
Fiction reverts to fiction.
The monster born from lies
shall be destroyed by lies, as well.
