Re: Creators (2017) s01e13 Episode Script
The Usual Way, the Way Back an Unpredictable Story That No One Knows Where It's Leading To
1
In order to defeat Altair,
we'll need a much stronger plot
and story progression.
Let's set a limit of six months
and start working on it.
Kikuchihara, we need your help
and the help of the government.
Please, grant our request.
Government-initiated events never go well.
Are you going to entrust me
with a huge anime event with the
fate of the world at stake?
Yes. Saving the world
is no small task.
So we just continue our stories as before?
I want the Creators to write
spinoffs of the current stories.
In those spinoffs,
I want you to prepare for creating the cage.
In the cage,
several unrelated stories will be linked.
-I want you to foreshadow that.
-What about us?
I will handle any tasks
related to the companies.
In the end, we're going to enter the cage
and fight too, right?
One big attack.
Earning approval,
making the cage appear in the space
between fiction and reality, and luring her in.
It's something that only the Creators can do.
When the final battle begins,
we'll need to improvise.
That's right. No one knows
how the story is going to end.
And with that, the situation
proceeded to the next stage.
The fuse has been lit
in the explosive story of us and Altair.
That description may be a little inaccurate.
However, let's sum things up,
at least the beginning.
The curtain has opened
on a new chapter in the story
of the battle between us and Altair.
My name is Meteora Österreich.
This is a record of
the battle fought by us Creations.
I'm going to remember everything.
Everything that happened to me.
I might be you,
or I might not be.
But I'm sure I'm somewhere close to you.
"My dear brother."
If I were to use her words,
that's how I would explain it.
Sota Mizushino,
16 years old.
Second-year student at
Metropolitan Kissui High School.
Shy and quiet.
Easily gets his feelings hurt.
A normal boy.
Selesia Upitiria, 19 years old.
Heroine from Elemental Symphony
of Vogelchevalier.
A member of the knights of the kingdom,
who fight against the Avalon Brigade.
The two of them meet. The story starts from there.
Boy meets girl.
This is how the story should be.
Answer me!
Where are we? Who are you?
I have already told you.
This is the world of the gods,
Selesia.
What nonsense!
Nonsense?
Do you think I'm telling a joke?
This world is unmistakably
the land of the gods.
A hideous world in which
dubious Creators throng about.
You will soon understand
the significance of what I'm saying.
We will bring revolution to this world.
Punishment to the land of the gods.
Is that you, Meteora?
And this is me, Meteora Österreich.
The librarian of the Kunst Wunderkammer,
the Sage of the End of the World,
from the Last Tableland in AVALKEN of Reminisce.
I use the Book of a Thousand Miles,
which shines light throughout the world,
to perform various types of magic.
And also, not to brag,
a beautiful and talented magnificent
magician of the highest abilities.
Destroy!
This is how I, the treasure of the entire universe,
saved the world from destruction.
Humankind will celebrate this day for all eternity,
sell souvenirs with my image,
and create holidays in my name.
Congratulations, congratulations.
This is the end of Re:CREATORS.
Time to go home.
No.
For me, this would be a good ending,
but this is no good overall.
All the foreshadowing's unresolved.
It sounds like a serialized story
that was canceled in the middle.
This is not what I intended to do,
but for the sake of the audience,
I'll restore it back to the original.
Is that you, Meteora?
I feel better now.
Let's try that again.
Introducing the amazing great magician Meteora
and her jolly followers
Oh, sorry.
I mean, her friends.
Not them.
I'll keep him in custody here.
Custody. What kind of word is that?
I'm not in kindergarten.
Rui Kanoya, 16 years old.
The hero of Monomagia: The Infinite Over Machine.
In the year 2124,
in the new virtual city Energia Ichihara,
the Ione suddenly invaded.
He is the pilot of a giant robot
that was created to fight against them,
the Gigas Machina.
And he likes little girls.
I like younger women.
Yuya Mirokuji.
The last boss from Exclusive underground,
and the ex-captain of a military outpost
of Team STRAY dogs.
He used to be the best friend
of Syo Hakua, the hero of this story,
but he murdered their friend Rokkaku Araki
and Syo's sister,
Kokonoka,
and deserted the team.
He established the association Arajin
and conquered Sacred Tree
Kuronagimaru and the spirit Hangaku.
In order to gain control
of the territory of Adachi ward,
which had turned into a lawless land
after a huge natural disaster,
he fights against Syo.
This excerpt was taken from
the manga synopsis.
To put it simply,
he's one of those guys who hangs out
in front of convenience stores in the spring.
And he's very impolite.
Just make sure I don't get bored.
Right, Metchin?
Hey, Metchin!
Shut up, Grasshopper Glasses!
By the way, in the battle
in the parking garage the other day,
Hangaku got stolen by
Magane Chikujoin.
So careless of him, Grasshopper Glasses.
Stay back, Sota!
Oh, by the way.
I noticed one thing about your doll.
Do you want to know what it is?
What?
I know a lot of trivia,
so that's why I know this.
Hangaku is the name of a female general.
You always have a girl at your side
who you can depend on for anything.
You have such a fulfilling life.
You make me so jealous!
Me and Hangaku, we're not like that.
She's a curse.
A curse!
Scary, scary.
That doesn't sound peaceful.
I wonder, what kind of curse?
-You!
-I see.
Are you saying I should
read the original story to find out?
But those kinds of curses
Did you know that you can get rid of them?
You really are full of lies, aren't you?
If you really think you can get rid of it,
then why don't you give it a try?
You're on.
What should I do?
I might not seem like it,
but I actually get along with
ghosts and monsters really well.
Okay. I've thought about it.
What if, what if,
I could get rid of that?
Why don't you give Hangaku to me?
You don't make good use of her anyway.
What did you say?
A lie about a lie
Give her to you?
What a joke!
It turns inside-out on itself, and
You got what you deserve.
We were each transported here
from our own stories.
And the enemies we're fighting against
were also transported here
from their own story worlds.
In other words, Creations.
Magical Dolce
Patissiere!
Magicalslayer Mamika!
Keep it a secret from your friends!
Mamika Kirameki.
The heroine from Magicalslayer Mamika.
A magical girl who fights day and night
to prevent the power of smiles
from falling into Akumarin's hands.
She also
has friends named Melt and Karin.
This info is from the official website.
Melt - Random Classmate - Karin
No!
Shining Shower!
She can't fight anymore.
Why do you have to keep going?
In defense of Selesia's reputation,
I want to explain this scene.
Selesia doesn't have the Vogelchevalier here
and isn't able to demonstrate her true potential.
Furthermore, in order to minimize
the damage to the real world,
she can't attack openly.
You mustn't make fun of her
for struggling in a fight against a kid
who knows a bit of attack magic,
even though she's a magic knight.
It might look like Selesia is a failure,
but like I explained before,
it isn't Selesia's fault.
She's doing her best, under the circumstances.
Did that hurt?
Selesia isn't weak.
Magical Splash
Flare!
Selesia isn't weak.
Really.
This is the first time we meet.
My name is Blitz Talker.
Blitz Talker.
A character from Code Babylon.
A middle-aged ex-detective,
and the partner of the main character.
He works for the Flashlight Detective Office,
which specializes in hunting down
demi-humans and synthetic monsters.
He talks like he thinks he's a tough guy
and likes to appear out of the darkness.
From the hard-boiled genre.
I'll use this.
A Gravity Bomb.
He uses bullets made for cyborgs.
This is a strong attack.
For a moment, I saw a beautiful river
and a field of flowers.
I thought, "This is really bad!"
Alicetaria February.
From the fantasy genre.
The heroine from Alicetaria of the scarlet.
The princess of the Holy Ulterstein Kingdom.
In order to save the world
from the forces of Unterwelt
summoned by the black sorcerer
Peeping Eternity,
she fights using the
Gauntlet of Götz von Berlichingen,
passed down through the royal family.
It appears you are the last one.
Götz von Berlichingen!
With the power of the star of dawn,
let loose the arrows that defeat evil!
Since she's all muscle and no brains,
she easily falls for Magane Chikujoin's deceptions
and mistakenly believes
that I'm the one who killed Mamika.
Step aside, boy.
I will not.
It is not my intention to involve you in this fight.
-Step aside.
-I'm not moving.
The Alicetaria I know
would do the same thing.
So that's why I'm doing this too!
Step down.
But, Meteora
Alicetaria and I
must talk until we reach an understanding.
Do you repent of your actions now?
Alicetaria,
I will speak honestly.
No matter what happened,
I would never hurt Mamika.
Even now, do you still try
to deceive me with your sophistry?
Mamika was determined
and departed before me!
She tried to propose a reconciliation with you.
But the negotiations failed,
and her murder was the result!
No! It's one of Magane's lies!
Silence!
Alice?
She's not
Meteora!
Muscle Brains can't hold a conversation.
Muscle Brains
And this is the character who deceived
Grasshopper Glasses and Muscle Brains.
-Everything's going perfectly!
-Magane Chikujoin.
The enemy character in Yasoukiroku.
A criminal who murdered
the entire student body
of Korougamine Academy
in "Sougenkyu Murder Case"
in the fifth volume of the original series.
Her special power is the ability
to reverse cause and effect,
the Infinite Deception of Words.
A lie about a lie.
It turns
inside-out on itself.
Hangaku!
What do you think, nerdy girl?
The plan I gave Sota fell through.
But instead, how about making a deal with me?
A project for destroying Altair. It's a bargain!
Oh, oh, what?
You don't want to talk to me?
Or are you scared?
You don't want to lose an argument with me?
Even you, Meteora, the Seeker of a Thousand Miles?
Provoking people and taking advantage
of their vulnerabilities,
it's your same old trick.
Meteora is highly praised for
being able to withstand provocation.
Oh, hi.
I'm Meteora Österreich.
You've come at a good time.
Let me take a moment to summarize the situation.
These are our allies,
and these are our enemies.
This girl isn't on either side.
She's a wild card.
And the one who broke through
the limitations of this world and
transported the eight of us Creations here, is
Altair. A navy-blue military hat
and a Spanish-style double-breasted coat.
She is the number-one enemy in this story.
She's a character from Eternal Wars Megalosphere.
She's a secondary Creation
that Setsuna Shimazaki created,
based on Shirotsumekusa.
An independent existence
without a story.
Colorless. That's why she's able to absorb
unlimited powers from secondary Creations
and became a character who is
almost invincible.
Her plan is to make the worlds collide,
to get the characters she transported here,
destroy the rationality of this world,
and to ultimately
bring about the Great Destruction
and cause everything to return to oblivion.
Now I want you to listen to a song.
By Setsuna Shimazaki.
"World Étude."
The moonlight
Shines on the world
Just kidding.
That's enough for now.
What an evil look.
This armor, so many lines.
The puffy skirt just gets in the way
during action scenes.
And this weird rectangular part
around the waist.
Her hair is too long. It's a pain to animate it.
Especially when viewed from the back.
She just looks like a light-blue ball of fur.
Just like a mutated mop.
If I may speak on behalf of the animation staff,
this character was designed
just to make their jobs difficult.
It makes us question the sanity of the designer.
We must reform this
cunning and vicious character
as soon as possible.
Make her change into a track suit and sandals.
I just can't stop myself
from wishing for this.
Well, then. I hope you enjoyed
this intermission.
However, since this episode
was a replay of highlights from the show,
I'm sure
that some of you may be left feeling
a little concerned about the future of this show.
But please do not panic.
"The quality is getting worse,"
or "the industry is in a crisis."
People say things like that these days
to sensationalize things.
But that's not our intention.
This intermission was planned as part of
the broadcast, right from the beginning,
so please don't worry.
Since this story
has a large number of characters
and a high density of elements in each frame,
the expectations of the client are also high.
Without an interval like this,
the director and producer
would end up as shriveled-up mummies
before the second half even begins.
Starting next episode,
the show will resume in the normal format.
Perhaps I may have said
some inappropriate things
or foreboding words today.
Please don't tell anyone.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please enjoy the rest of the show.
Brought to you by the magician of the
Kunst Wunderkammer,
Meteora Österreich.
Farewell.
Yeah.
