Season 2, Episode 6
1
[computer] Round 13.
Three minutes remaining.
[Usagi yelps]
I don't want you.
[Usagi gasps]
[grunts and gasps]
[panting]
[yells]
[Usagi wheezing]
[groaning]
[screams]
Damn it!
[computer] There are two players
remaining until checkmate.
[Queen grunts]
- [Kota] Miss?
- [Usagi panting]
[gasps]
[Queen] Nobody cared
about saving that kid.
When given the option,
they sided with the Queen.
They'll do whatever it takes not to die.
It's a fact.
Nobody wants to see a child be killed.
But in the end,
everyone wants to save their own skin.
Each and every human being is that way.
[gasping] Then I guess
you've never met somebody
that you really cared about.
Fucking hypocrites like you
make me wanna throw up.
[Usagi gasps]
[Queen] If you really cared
about this kid so much,
you'd die with him.
But something tells me
you'll change your mind soon.
You will.
[cries out]
Are you okay?
I promise
I won't stop protecting you.
[siren blares]
[computer] Round 14.
Challenger Team's turn beginning.
- This turn will last five minutes.
- [gasps]
- Turn, start.
- [bell rings]
[theme music]
- Usagi!
- [gasps]
Stay where you are!
[whimpering]
- You okay?
- [gasps] I have an idea.
Follow me.
[Arisu] Ow!
- [panting]
- You all right?
Did you see them?
Okay, there isn't much time
left on the clock, so we have to
- [all yell]
- Run!
[energy crackling]
[yelling]
Usagi. We need to capture five more.
I saw people upstairs. Let's go!
[Usagi] Wait!
Let's go! Come on, Usagi.
[Usagi] Wait.
- [all panting]
- [Usagi] You guys
Do you really wanna
keep working for the Queen?
Yeah, of course we do.
We don't wanna die.
If we keep playing for the Queen's side
and we win,
then we can stay right here.
If we're in this arena,
we don't need to play anything else.
No getting hunted down or shot.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Winning isn't the most important thing!
[player 1] Right now? Yeah. Yeah, it is.
No. You're wrong about that.
Listen.
The most important thing
isn't just winning the game!
It's getting back to our world.
If all you really care about is winning,
then sure, you're doing everything right.
You're protected by the Queen,
and you can live in this world forever.
But is that what you want?
If our side wins, we can beat the Queen.
If we beat every single face card game,
then there's a chance
a chance we can get back home again.
[player 2] There's no going back there.
Ever.
That world's all over.
It's just over.
These games have rules,
just like the rest.
The face card guys,
if they lose, they get killed.
Just like us.
Which means if we beat them,
then there won't be anyone else.
This will all end
if we win every face card game.
That's just a guess, man,
and nothing more.
Yeah, a guess.
And hope.
Maybe hope is what we need to survive.
I won't give up.
[Usagi] Sure, you can extend
your lives here with the Queen.
But what does that mean?
Y you're spending the rest of your lives
killing each other.
That's not a life.
Why don't you take a chance with us?
[player 3] This place
isn't that different from our world.
You guys want to go back
to our world so badly?
That place sucked.
Maybe
Maybe this one'll be better.
[Usagi] Yeah.
I thought the same until recently.
Going back might not be all that great.
But you know
I want to go back, I really do.
I wanna make it back to our world.
For all the pain and heartache
I lived with,
I was born and raised there.
And it made me who I am today.
I miss that world.
At times, it was unbearably lonely.
But I believe it taught me kindness.
That life that I had
I'm kind here because it made me that way.
This world makes kindness easy to forget.
I want to return.
I want to give that life another shot.
[player 4] I
I wanna go back.
I do.
I want to return and see
my family.
[energy crackling]
Do you think
Could I start over?
- [PA chimes]
- [computer] Two turns remaining.
Round 15 is the final one
for the Queen Team.
This turn will last five minutes.
- Turn, start.
- [bell rings]
[sighs]
[Arisu] They have 14 on their side?
We need to get back five people
for a majority.
How do we do that in just one turn?
The other side can win just by running.
Okay, then.
We chase and catch them one by one.
Wait.
There's one more option.
[dynamic music]
[Queen] I want that guy on our side
before the game's over.
And the woman?
I don't want her.
Let's teach her that fake virtues
have no place in this world.
- Aah!
- Let's go!
Come here!
Stop running!
Okay. Run!
[player 1] Down there!
[player 2] Stop running!
- We don't need you. Move!
- [yells]
[all gasping]
[player 3] After her!
- [Queen] This way!
- All right!
You, upstairs!
Run.
[player 4] Over there!
- Found him!
- [player 5 laughs]
Woo-hoo!
Faster!
[all breathing heavily]
[PA chimes]
[computer] Round 15 is ending shortly.
Thirty seconds remaining.
Grab him!
[Arisu yelling]
[both yelling]
[computer] Final turn, start.
[Arisu yells] Go!
[both yell]
- Arisu!
- [yells]
[player] They went that way!
[yells]
- Get him!
- [panting]
- Oh! Oh!
- We did it! Yeah!
- I can't believe it!
- Fuck, yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
- [laughing]
- We won!
- This is incredible!
- We won!
[all talking and laughing]
Yeah, we did so great!
We pulled through!
- Yes!
- We showed them!
- We did it. We won.
- [player] Yes!
- Oh yes!
- That was so bad!
- We pulled through. You pulled through!
- No, you were great!
- Great! Well done! Well done!
- Yes!
[Queen] I don't know
how you convinced everyone.
But congratulations,
Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
When I go back,
I'm not going to be alone.
I'm leaving with my friends.
They matter.
[scoffs]
That's what you think?
You have way more freedom here, you know.
This place is much more my scene
than that rigid world.
You were players, weren't you?
You were brought here to play,
just like us.
You had to play the games.
Well, am I wrong?
Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
- Once the games are done.
- Not before then?
What'll we learn when they're all over?
First you clear all the face cards.
Then you'll know everything.
Will we learn where we are?
Can we go back to our world?
You'll have to wait and find out, baby.
- [computer] Time is up.
- Hey!
[computer] It is game over for everyone
on the Queen's Team.
I wanna live free until my last breath.
[Usagi gasps]
See you later.
[all gasp]
[power whirring]
[crackling]
[Usagi sighs]
[cicadas chirping]
[Arisu] I want to finish these games.
I want the answer.
But more than that
I wanna go back to our world.
Both of us together.
So do I.
Hey, look.
[low rumbling]
[Usagi sniffs]
That smell
Did you fart?
Of course not!
[water rushing and bubbling]
[Usagi gasps]
Hot! [winces]
Wow! [laughs]
It's a hot spring!
There's a hot spring!
Usagi! Look!
- It's really a hot spring!
- [Usagi] Oh
The water's perfect over here!
Really? Then let's get in!
When's the last time we took a bath?
We can't pass this up!
- [Usagi] Huh? Together?
- Huh
Huh? Oh
[groans]
I could die right now and I'd be happy.
[Usagi exhales]
I just wish that
the painful memories washed away
as easily as dirt.
Yeah, I know.
[Usagi yelps]
What's wrong?
Usagi?
Usagi?
Hey!
Usagi?
That's not possible.
They can't be real, can they?
[Usagi gasps]
[snorts]
They're taking a bath too.
Maybe they escaped from a zoo
or something.
If we hadn't been brought here,
we'd have never seen this.
Yeah.
You know what's kind of crazy?
I'm feeling emotional.
And I'm not entirely sure why.
[sighs]
Right there with you.
[gasps]
I'm sorry. I didn't see anything!
Just elephants! I'm only looking at them.
I love elephants.
It's okay.
You can stay.
[Usagi sighs]
- [elephant trumpets]
- [Usagi gasps]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[breathing shakily]
[leaves rustling]
[wind whistling]
[sighs]
Found it.
KIMIKO KUINA
ADMITTED: JUNE 2, 2021
Mom, I wanna see you again.
[engine chugging]
[faint radio chatter]
[man] This makes me sick.
All the work of some twisted fuck.
[Ann] Stuff like this
makes me lose hope for humanity.
[man] This person knew
they were gonna die.
But they fought until the very end.
They didn't give up hope.
There's still hope here.
[engine rumbling]
SUPREME COUR
[Chishiya] Fascinating.
So you were the King of Diamonds
all along.
The Beach executive.
Former Number Two.
Kuzuryu.
Why was the King of Diamonds at the Beach?
I was curious.
Undercover, then.
[computer chimes]
Difficulty, King of Diamonds.
Game, Beauty Contest.
Let us begin.
[tense music]
[computer] Rules.
Contestants have three minutes
to choose a number between zero and 100.
The average of the numbers
everyone selected is multiplied by 0.8.
The person who chose the number
closest to that result is the winner.
Multiply the average value
of what we all chose by 0.8.
Whoever's number
is closest to that result wins.
Hmm?
Multiply the average value by 0.8?
Why 0.8? What's 0.8 mean?
I get it.
Multiplying the average
by the fixed value of 0.8
disrupts the scale's balance.
That's why it's a game.
0.8 is a drop.
A single drop straight from heaven.
[computer] One point will be deducted
from the four losers,
and the round is concluded.
When a player reaches negative ten points,
they will receive a game over.
The last player standing
will clear the game.
However, every time a player
is eliminated, a new rule is added.
A new rule? What's with that?
And nobody's explaining these scales.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round one, start.
Hmm
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Time limit reached.
The average of the numbers
chosen in the first round
is 32.8.
After multiplying this value by 0.8,
the player closest to this number
is Master Kuzuryu,
the winner.
[player] If everyone picked 40,
then the average value
would be 40, of course.
Multiplying that by 0.8 is 32.
Even if everyone anticipated that
and chose 32,
multiplying the average value by 0.8
will yield a lower number.
So that won't work.
If everyone picks the same, that means
getting stuck in a cycle and no one wins.
[grunts] So we can't do that. Nah.
Ah, I understand.
You just need to predict your opponents'
moves and be a few steps ahead.
Mmm This feels like a heart
more than a diamond.
Hmm! We're reading each other.
Whether you play poker or chess,
in an intellectual game,
you have to read your opponent.
Not reading their minds,
but predicting their reasoning.
Wouldn't you say?
Huh, King?
Their reasoning?
You ignoring me?
[liquid pouring]
What's that?
Water?
[Kuzuryu] That is sulfuric acid.
- [woman] What?
- [Chishiya] Oh, so you'll answer him
[man] If someone reaches
negative ten points, the scales will tip.
[Kuzuryu] It'll melt our bodies.
Best case, we end up horribly disfigured.
Scales, well
Let me guess.
The King of Diamonds is a lawyer.
At least, he used to be.
Yes, but that's in the past.
That bad, was it?
But even so, you selected this venue.
Interesting game arena, the Supreme Court.
This giant installation.
The badge a lawyer wears
represents equality and fairness.
All life, including yours,
is equally valuable.
Is that what you wanna say?
What you want us to understand?
[laughs]
The scale will always tip
to whatever side has more gold.
Not all life has the same value, you know.
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] Round two, start.
[thinking] Since 26 was the answer before,
maybe I'll multiply that by 0.8 this time?
No, everyone might be
thinking the same thing.
Ah, maybe I'll multiply it by another 0.8?
[man thinking]
Suppose everyone chooses 100.
The product after multiplying it by 0.8
would be 80.
In order to win, picking a number
higher than 80 is pointless.
If 80 is the highest average we can have,
multiplying it by 0.8 is 64.
If the highest average is 64,
then multiplying that by 0.8 is 51.2.
So 51.
And we can go on and on,
getting closer and closer to zero.
The law of the stock market is to invest
in stocks that
everyone wants to invest in.
You have to predict everyone's desires.
[thinking] The crux of this game
is to read a few steps ahead
of everyone else's deductions.
There are already equations that exist
to help read an opponent's rationality.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Time limit reached.
The average of the numbers
chosen in the second round
is 16.6.
After multiplying this value by 0.8,
the player closest to this number
is Master Kuzuryu, the winner.
[acid pouring]
[sighs]
You were even closer this time.
[thinking] The number is getting smaller.
So, what, we're supposed to pick zero?
[thinking] The rational conclusion
would be zero.
In other words,
everyone will pick zero in the end.
[thinking] Picking zero
is the most rational choice.
But the rational limit
is different for everyone.
Kuzuryu.
[Kuzuryu] What?
I think I understand now.
The thing that you're trying to measure
it's the value of life, isn't it?
[exhales]
No, it's not.
Then what are you doing?
You can tell me.
[Kuzuryu] Perhaps we could propose
a new settlement figure?
The contaminants that the factory dumped
actually did cause environmental issues.
Twenty people in the surrounding community
died as a result.
[man] Diseases can be caused
by many factors.
What proof is there
that our company is responsible?
I heard that you were
an extremely talented lawyer,
but it seems
you do not understand the law.
Laws don't exist
to protect the weak from the powerful.
Everyone is equal
in the eyes of the law, sir.
[man] That is naive.
In order to save starving people,
you first need the power
to influence the world's economy.
Your principles are not enough to change
a world so full of contradictions.
Let me ask you.
What do you think we should do
to maintain a respectable, modern society?
We need a justice system.
A fair justice system
must exist at all levels.
You mentioned
You mentioned the importance
of respecting the world's economy.
But prioritizing economic growth
will create more inequality.
- A wealth gap
- No!
Your duty as a lawyer
isn't to make sound arguments.
Any fool is able to preach equality.
Fairness and justice have no place
in a world more full of monsters than men.
[sighs]
[man] However, thanks to the power
of human imagination,
we can make an unfair argument
sound fair and just.
And you will do just that.
It is your solemn duty
that is given to you by God.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Time limit reached.
The results of the third round.
[player in striped shirt] 100?
[computer]
The average of the numbers is 20.2.
After multiplying this value by 0.8,
the player closest to this number
is Master Daimon, the winner.
[gasps] Huh? I won?
I won?
Ah! Yes!
What's up, man?
Why'd you do that?
You picked 100.
That means you'll always lose.
There's a zero percent chance of winning,
don't you know?
I think all of you are overthinking this.
That kind of stuff
just gives me a headache.
So I blew it up.
[pulsing music]
[acid pouring]
[scoffs]
[laughs] Wow, you're insane.
[chuckles]
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] The winner of round six
is Master Chishiya.
The winner of round seven is
[tune plays]
Master Daimon.
[shrieks] Oh yeah!
[laughs]
I definitely don't wanna die like that.
[buzzer sounds]
[thinking] I'm at minus nine points.
If I miss any more, I die.
My formula must be foolproof.
[thinking] What do I do? I'm so lost here.
I can't use the same strategy.
[thinking] I can't make a single mistake.
The next time I lose, it's game over.
[thinking] Rationally speaking,
the average
should be getting closer to zero.
[Chishiya]
I bet he predicted this outcome.
[chiming]
[groans]
[chimes]
[computer] The winner of round ten is
[tune plays]
Master Kuzuryu.
[chiming]
[computer] Two players
now have negative ten points.
[man whimpering]
[computer] It is game over
for these participants.
[acid pouring]
[acid hissing]
[screaming]
Take this off! Someone!
I'll do anything! [screams]
Don't! Ah! Take this off!
Hey! Take this off!
What do you want, huh?
You want money? Please!
[whimpers] What can I do?
[gasping]
Please, stop this! Just stop!
[screaming]
[yelping]
[metal creaking]
[whimpering]
[screaming]
[screaming]
[groaning]
- [thump]
- [shrieks]
Now, this is more like a face card game.
[sizzling]
[Chishiya]
Is this the equality you're after?
[chiming]
[computer] As two players were eliminated,
two new rules will be added.
Rule number one.
If two or more players choose
the same number,
they will be disqualified from the round
and will each lose one point.
Rule number two.
Choosing the exact correct number
will cause the other players
to lose two points instead of one.
[sighs]
[breathing shakily]
[gasps]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] Results for round 11.
All of us picked zero?
All three players picked the same number
and are disqualified from the round.
All three players lose one point.
Huh?
Everyone ended up
choosing the same number.
[thinking] If that happens one more time,
it's game over for me.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round 12, start.
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[computer] Results for round 12.
[tune plays]
[computer] As the winner chose
the exact correct number,
the other two players
will lose two points.
[Daimon] No way.
No way! This can't be happening!
How did you
You saw my answer, didn't you?
He cheated! He did!
You did! How else would you be able
to know which number I chose?
I knew it because I've been watching.
At the start of the last round,
you had negative eight points,
and I had negative nine.
Even if you lost,
you'd still get another chance.
So you took a risk,
thinking we'd eliminate each other.
I thought about that,
and I figured you'd pick a random number.
[scoffs] You want us to believe
you just guessed?
Impossible!
I knew what you thought we'd pick.
Odds are we'd choose numbers under 50.
[thinking] It's like he read my mind.
The King was up by three points before.
I couldn't catch up
if we chose the same number.
But I still had a chance if I could
get them to pick the same number.
[Chishiya] So you'd have to avoid
numbers under 50.
And if you were going to do that,
you'd have to avoid them
by a large margin.
Even so, you wouldn't pick too high.
Ninety and up is too much.
So over 50, under 90.
When you ask people to guess a number,
a few things come to mind.
Double digits, so they're out.
Same thing with nice, round numbers
divisible by ten.
When you put someone on the spot
and ask them to choose a number,
they'll usually go for eights,
threes and fives,
and some of those are prime.
You'd try not to pick them.
Not too many options left now.
How do we narrow the list further?
Some of these numbers we see every day.
Game systems,
movie titles,
brand logos.
Easy associations.
By my count, that just leaves 62 and 74.
No way to narrow it down.
So I Well,
I got lucky.
[unsteadily] I knew
I shouldn't have picked 74.
[chiming]
[computer]
A player now has negative ten points.
No, no. No. No, no!
No! No, no!
Don't!
Please! Just let me go.
I'll do anything! Let me go! Let me go!
[wails] No!
[screaming]
[sizzling]
Well
She said that not all lives
have the same value.
Think she still believed it?
Up until the bitter end?
[Kuzuryu] Tell me
Have you ever peered behind the curtain,
seen how the world really works?
Watched children die because their parents
couldn't afford a few yen for medicine?
Seen girls sold off
to pay for their parents' debts?
Been powerless
to break the cycle of poverty?
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] A new rule is being added.
If a player chooses zero as their number,
the other player will win
if they choose 100.
[Chishiya] A-ha.
Since there's only two players
left in the game at this point,
the one who picks closer to zero
is inevitably going to be the winner.
Just math.
So if you pick zero each time, you'll win.
You're further from negative ten.
But this new rule changes everything.
I still have a chance.
If you choose zero,
I can win by choosing 100.
But then if you think I'll choose 100,
you can choose one, and you'll win.
Three choices.
It all comes down to three choices.
Zero, one, and 100.
Rock, paper, scissors.
But I've only got one point left.
If we tie,
that's game over for me, isn't it?
The stakes couldn't be higher
if you tried.
[buzzer sounds]
I get it.
You're desperately trying
to make this fair.
But why? Why bother?
[Kuzuryu] Hypothetically,
if there were a million doses
of a vaccine for a disease,
which million people would you save?
[Chishiya] Ahhh.
I see it now.
You don't wanna have to choose
who gets to live and who has to die.
You don't want to determine
the value of a life.
[Kuzuryu] Exactly.
How could I weigh all the variables?
What makes one life worth saving
and one worthless?
How can I know?
So,
tell me what you think.
If you had to answer
the question put before you
What I'd do?
Give 'em to kids with no parents or money.
You would?
I would try to do that.
But I wouldn't be the one to choose.
It's about money.
Because anyone with enough money
can choose a life's value.
I bet you've seen it. Am I right?
You've peered behind the curtain.
I have.
After an accident,
there was no settlement paid out.
People died when they couldn't afford
the proper treatment.
So you understand.
Why do you bother
striving for justice at all?
Because I must.
Equality is something we fight for.
[beeping]
[Chishiya] Very good. You were great.
Next week is the big day.
You keep it up, okay?
Yeah.
[crying] Thank you.
[sobs] Doctor, thank you so much.
- [Chishiya] Of course.
- [sobs]
- [Chishiya] Excuse me.
- Yes, yes.
[Chishiya] Hayato's condition
is finally stable.
And that means this next surgery
should save his life.
[doctor] Yes. About the surgery
Listen.
There's been a change
to the transplant priority list.
- You've made a change?
- [doctor] Yes.
This patient was just moved up the list.
The grandchild
of a good friend of the director's.
- And what about Hayato?
- [doctor] Postponed.
They're important.
Their support keeps the hospital running.
We don't have a choice.
Medicine is all about this sort of thing.
Now, go inform the patient's parents.
But what do I say?
[scoffs]
You'll think of something.
He's your patient.
[crying]
Hayato
[doctor] Well
Even if he got the transplant last week,
there was a chance
he wasn't going to make it.
This isn't my fault.
You should know by now
your ideals aren't enough to save a life.
That's clear.
I'm not gonna carry it with me, sir.
This is our job.
SAKURAZAKA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
PHYSICIAN
PEDIATRIC CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY
[sighs]
[doctor] So, take care of it.
Sir.
How fascinating.
Perhaps I was brought to this place
so I could play this game with you.
I'm going to choose 100.
Why would you say that?
Just giving you some help.
Are you mad?
You can't just tell me what you'll choose.
Unless I select zero this round,
you've guaranteed your death.
Sitting across from you
is a man who is charging towards death.
You have to decide.
What value does this life hold?
What value does my life hold?
It's huge. Why bother?
[man] We lost everything
when we came here.
To abandon our ideals would be mad.
Ideals?
[echoing gasps and shouts]
[man] Hey. Come on.
[Kuzuryu gasping]
What are you doing? Just go.
[man] I can't do that.
In the last game I played,
a young man saved my life.
Now it's my turn to save someone.
I have to pay it forward.
You're not getting left behind.
I'm choosing to fight for this.
- [gasps]
- [echoing shouts]
You're choosing?
Now let's go.
[chimes]
[computer] Time limit reached.
The winner of round 13 is
[tune plays]
Master Chishiya.
You actually selected zero?
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round 14, start.
[chimes]
[computer]
The winner of round 14 is Master Chishiya.
[Chishiya] That's it then, isn't it?
Only one point left each.
This is the last round.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round 15, start.
[Chishiya] So, then,
can you do it?
If you're finding it hard
to make your choice,
you can just kill me.
That's fair, don't you think?
[Kuzuryu] I cannot make that decision.
Was that your aim the whole time,
Master Chishiya?
To make sure
that our scores ended up tied?
In a way.
I wanted to witness this.
I wanted to be around
for your final choice.
[chimes]
If you pick one, you win.
- [crowd cheering]
- [house music playing]
[Kuzuryu] Ms. Momoka.
Would you answer a question for me?
You volunteered.
Someone had to be the witch.
But that means killing yourself.
Why would you do that?
I did it for my ideals.
[Momoka] The human heart is
a beautiful thing.
Human life is precious.
I believe that, truly.
And when I look at my life,
I know I've been able to survive
because of those ideals.
[sounds fade]
[gentle, poignant music]
Your games and rules don't get to kill me.
I'm not going to die because I lost.
I'm doing this
to show you all that you're wrong.
They're not going to kill each other
because they're not all bad.
If I'm destined to die here someday
then I get to choose how I walk that path.
[Kuzuryu] I'm just one man.
I don't know the value of a life.
Or the meaning of one.
And I don't think I ever will.
I'll never be the one to decide that.
But there's one thing
I'm able to decide now.
[chimes]
[computer] The final round is over.
So you made your choice.
The value of a life can't be decided.
Tell me why you did it.
I did it for my ideals.
[computer] The winner is
Master Chishiya.
[chiming]
A player has reached negative ten points.
It is game over for that player.
It's nice to see
that you can actually smile.
I'm finally free.
I made my own choice.
And based on my own ideals.
It's all because of you.
[woman] At last. It's our turn.
What?
That doesn't excite you?
If I'm going to have a game to myself
I want it to be fair.
You quit while you were ahead.
I gave you the chance to make that choice.
I'm so jealous of you.
[machinery clanks and hisses]
[sizzling]
[sizzling fading]
GAME CLEAR
CONGRATULATIONS
[wind rustling through leaves]
[fast ambient music]
[Arisu] We've almost died
a thousand times.
We could still die, any second.
I don't believe it.
It's a miracle we made it
as far as we have.
If it was a miracle that got us here,
let's take the opportunity and fight.
Me and you.
Yeah.
[emotional music swells]
I'm going to make it home.
For the future. For the me of tomorrow.
[theme music]
[computer] Round 13.
Three minutes remaining.
[Usagi yelps]
I don't want you.
[Usagi gasps]
[grunts and gasps]
[panting]
[yells]
[Usagi wheezing]
[groaning]
[screams]
Damn it!
[computer] There are two players
remaining until checkmate.
[Queen grunts]
- [Kota] Miss?
- [Usagi panting]
[gasps]
[Queen] Nobody cared
about saving that kid.
When given the option,
they sided with the Queen.
They'll do whatever it takes not to die.
It's a fact.
Nobody wants to see a child be killed.
But in the end,
everyone wants to save their own skin.
Each and every human being is that way.
[gasping] Then I guess
you've never met somebody
that you really cared about.
Fucking hypocrites like you
make me wanna throw up.
[Usagi gasps]
[Queen] If you really cared
about this kid so much,
you'd die with him.
But something tells me
you'll change your mind soon.
You will.
[cries out]
Are you okay?
I promise
I won't stop protecting you.
[siren blares]
[computer] Round 14.
Challenger Team's turn beginning.
- This turn will last five minutes.
- [gasps]
- Turn, start.
- [bell rings]
[theme music]
- Usagi!
- [gasps]
Stay where you are!
[whimpering]
- You okay?
- [gasps] I have an idea.
Follow me.
[Arisu] Ow!
- [panting]
- You all right?
Did you see them?
Okay, there isn't much time
left on the clock, so we have to
- [all yell]
- Run!
[energy crackling]
[yelling]
Usagi. We need to capture five more.
I saw people upstairs. Let's go!
[Usagi] Wait!
Let's go! Come on, Usagi.
[Usagi] Wait.
- [all panting]
- [Usagi] You guys
Do you really wanna
keep working for the Queen?
Yeah, of course we do.
We don't wanna die.
If we keep playing for the Queen's side
and we win,
then we can stay right here.
If we're in this arena,
we don't need to play anything else.
No getting hunted down or shot.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Winning isn't the most important thing!
[player 1] Right now? Yeah. Yeah, it is.
No. You're wrong about that.
Listen.
The most important thing
isn't just winning the game!
It's getting back to our world.
If all you really care about is winning,
then sure, you're doing everything right.
You're protected by the Queen,
and you can live in this world forever.
But is that what you want?
If our side wins, we can beat the Queen.
If we beat every single face card game,
then there's a chance
a chance we can get back home again.
[player 2] There's no going back there.
Ever.
That world's all over.
It's just over.
These games have rules,
just like the rest.
The face card guys,
if they lose, they get killed.
Just like us.
Which means if we beat them,
then there won't be anyone else.
This will all end
if we win every face card game.
That's just a guess, man,
and nothing more.
Yeah, a guess.
And hope.
Maybe hope is what we need to survive.
I won't give up.
[Usagi] Sure, you can extend
your lives here with the Queen.
But what does that mean?
Y you're spending the rest of your lives
killing each other.
That's not a life.
Why don't you take a chance with us?
[player 3] This place
isn't that different from our world.
You guys want to go back
to our world so badly?
That place sucked.
Maybe
Maybe this one'll be better.
[Usagi] Yeah.
I thought the same until recently.
Going back might not be all that great.
But you know
I want to go back, I really do.
I wanna make it back to our world.
For all the pain and heartache
I lived with,
I was born and raised there.
And it made me who I am today.
I miss that world.
At times, it was unbearably lonely.
But I believe it taught me kindness.
That life that I had
I'm kind here because it made me that way.
This world makes kindness easy to forget.
I want to return.
I want to give that life another shot.
[player 4] I
I wanna go back.
I do.
I want to return and see
my family.
[energy crackling]
Do you think
Could I start over?
- [PA chimes]
- [computer] Two turns remaining.
Round 15 is the final one
for the Queen Team.
This turn will last five minutes.
- Turn, start.
- [bell rings]
[sighs]
[Arisu] They have 14 on their side?
We need to get back five people
for a majority.
How do we do that in just one turn?
The other side can win just by running.
Okay, then.
We chase and catch them one by one.
Wait.
There's one more option.
[dynamic music]
[Queen] I want that guy on our side
before the game's over.
And the woman?
I don't want her.
Let's teach her that fake virtues
have no place in this world.
- Aah!
- Let's go!
Come here!
Stop running!
Okay. Run!
[player 1] Down there!
[player 2] Stop running!
- We don't need you. Move!
- [yells]
[all gasping]
[player 3] After her!
- [Queen] This way!
- All right!
You, upstairs!
Run.
[player 4] Over there!
- Found him!
- [player 5 laughs]
Woo-hoo!
Faster!
[all breathing heavily]
[PA chimes]
[computer] Round 15 is ending shortly.
Thirty seconds remaining.
Grab him!
[Arisu yelling]
[both yelling]
[computer] Final turn, start.
[Arisu yells] Go!
[both yell]
- Arisu!
- [yells]
[player] They went that way!
[yells]
- Get him!
- [panting]
- Oh! Oh!
- We did it! Yeah!
- I can't believe it!
- Fuck, yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
- [laughing]
- We won!
- This is incredible!
- We won!
[all talking and laughing]
Yeah, we did so great!
We pulled through!
- Yes!
- We showed them!
- We did it. We won.
- [player] Yes!
- Oh yes!
- That was so bad!
- We pulled through. You pulled through!
- No, you were great!
- Great! Well done! Well done!
- Yes!
[Queen] I don't know
how you convinced everyone.
But congratulations,
Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
When I go back,
I'm not going to be alone.
I'm leaving with my friends.
They matter.
[scoffs]
That's what you think?
You have way more freedom here, you know.
This place is much more my scene
than that rigid world.
You were players, weren't you?
You were brought here to play,
just like us.
You had to play the games.
Well, am I wrong?
Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
- Once the games are done.
- Not before then?
What'll we learn when they're all over?
First you clear all the face cards.
Then you'll know everything.
Will we learn where we are?
Can we go back to our world?
You'll have to wait and find out, baby.
- [computer] Time is up.
- Hey!
[computer] It is game over for everyone
on the Queen's Team.
I wanna live free until my last breath.
[Usagi gasps]
See you later.
[all gasp]
[power whirring]
[crackling]
[Usagi sighs]
[cicadas chirping]
[Arisu] I want to finish these games.
I want the answer.
But more than that
I wanna go back to our world.
Both of us together.
So do I.
Hey, look.
[low rumbling]
[Usagi sniffs]
That smell
Did you fart?
Of course not!
[water rushing and bubbling]
[Usagi gasps]
Hot! [winces]
Wow! [laughs]
It's a hot spring!
There's a hot spring!
Usagi! Look!
- It's really a hot spring!
- [Usagi] Oh
The water's perfect over here!
Really? Then let's get in!
When's the last time we took a bath?
We can't pass this up!
- [Usagi] Huh? Together?
- Huh
Huh? Oh
[groans]
I could die right now and I'd be happy.
[Usagi exhales]
I just wish that
the painful memories washed away
as easily as dirt.
Yeah, I know.
[Usagi yelps]
What's wrong?
Usagi?
Usagi?
Hey!
Usagi?
That's not possible.
They can't be real, can they?
[Usagi gasps]
[snorts]
They're taking a bath too.
Maybe they escaped from a zoo
or something.
If we hadn't been brought here,
we'd have never seen this.
Yeah.
You know what's kind of crazy?
I'm feeling emotional.
And I'm not entirely sure why.
[sighs]
Right there with you.
[gasps]
I'm sorry. I didn't see anything!
Just elephants! I'm only looking at them.
I love elephants.
It's okay.
You can stay.
[Usagi sighs]
- [elephant trumpets]
- [Usagi gasps]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[breathing shakily]
[leaves rustling]
[wind whistling]
[sighs]
Found it.
KIMIKO KUINA
ADMITTED: JUNE 2, 2021
Mom, I wanna see you again.
[engine chugging]
[faint radio chatter]
[man] This makes me sick.
All the work of some twisted fuck.
[Ann] Stuff like this
makes me lose hope for humanity.
[man] This person knew
they were gonna die.
But they fought until the very end.
They didn't give up hope.
There's still hope here.
[engine rumbling]
SUPREME COUR
[Chishiya] Fascinating.
So you were the King of Diamonds
all along.
The Beach executive.
Former Number Two.
Kuzuryu.
Why was the King of Diamonds at the Beach?
I was curious.
Undercover, then.
[computer chimes]
Difficulty, King of Diamonds.
Game, Beauty Contest.
Let us begin.
[tense music]
[computer] Rules.
Contestants have three minutes
to choose a number between zero and 100.
The average of the numbers
everyone selected is multiplied by 0.8.
The person who chose the number
closest to that result is the winner.
Multiply the average value
of what we all chose by 0.8.
Whoever's number
is closest to that result wins.
Hmm?
Multiply the average value by 0.8?
Why 0.8? What's 0.8 mean?
I get it.
Multiplying the average
by the fixed value of 0.8
disrupts the scale's balance.
That's why it's a game.
0.8 is a drop.
A single drop straight from heaven.
[computer] One point will be deducted
from the four losers,
and the round is concluded.
When a player reaches negative ten points,
they will receive a game over.
The last player standing
will clear the game.
However, every time a player
is eliminated, a new rule is added.
A new rule? What's with that?
And nobody's explaining these scales.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round one, start.
Hmm
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Time limit reached.
The average of the numbers
chosen in the first round
is 32.8.
After multiplying this value by 0.8,
the player closest to this number
is Master Kuzuryu,
the winner.
[player] If everyone picked 40,
then the average value
would be 40, of course.
Multiplying that by 0.8 is 32.
Even if everyone anticipated that
and chose 32,
multiplying the average value by 0.8
will yield a lower number.
So that won't work.
If everyone picks the same, that means
getting stuck in a cycle and no one wins.
[grunts] So we can't do that. Nah.
Ah, I understand.
You just need to predict your opponents'
moves and be a few steps ahead.
Mmm This feels like a heart
more than a diamond.
Hmm! We're reading each other.
Whether you play poker or chess,
in an intellectual game,
you have to read your opponent.
Not reading their minds,
but predicting their reasoning.
Wouldn't you say?
Huh, King?
Their reasoning?
You ignoring me?
[liquid pouring]
What's that?
Water?
[Kuzuryu] That is sulfuric acid.
- [woman] What?
- [Chishiya] Oh, so you'll answer him
[man] If someone reaches
negative ten points, the scales will tip.
[Kuzuryu] It'll melt our bodies.
Best case, we end up horribly disfigured.
Scales, well
Let me guess.
The King of Diamonds is a lawyer.
At least, he used to be.
Yes, but that's in the past.
That bad, was it?
But even so, you selected this venue.
Interesting game arena, the Supreme Court.
This giant installation.
The badge a lawyer wears
represents equality and fairness.
All life, including yours,
is equally valuable.
Is that what you wanna say?
What you want us to understand?
[laughs]
The scale will always tip
to whatever side has more gold.
Not all life has the same value, you know.
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] Round two, start.
[thinking] Since 26 was the answer before,
maybe I'll multiply that by 0.8 this time?
No, everyone might be
thinking the same thing.
Ah, maybe I'll multiply it by another 0.8?
[man thinking]
Suppose everyone chooses 100.
The product after multiplying it by 0.8
would be 80.
In order to win, picking a number
higher than 80 is pointless.
If 80 is the highest average we can have,
multiplying it by 0.8 is 64.
If the highest average is 64,
then multiplying that by 0.8 is 51.2.
So 51.
And we can go on and on,
getting closer and closer to zero.
The law of the stock market is to invest
in stocks that
everyone wants to invest in.
You have to predict everyone's desires.
[thinking] The crux of this game
is to read a few steps ahead
of everyone else's deductions.
There are already equations that exist
to help read an opponent's rationality.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Time limit reached.
The average of the numbers
chosen in the second round
is 16.6.
After multiplying this value by 0.8,
the player closest to this number
is Master Kuzuryu, the winner.
[acid pouring]
[sighs]
You were even closer this time.
[thinking] The number is getting smaller.
So, what, we're supposed to pick zero?
[thinking] The rational conclusion
would be zero.
In other words,
everyone will pick zero in the end.
[thinking] Picking zero
is the most rational choice.
But the rational limit
is different for everyone.
Kuzuryu.
[Kuzuryu] What?
I think I understand now.
The thing that you're trying to measure
it's the value of life, isn't it?
[exhales]
No, it's not.
Then what are you doing?
You can tell me.
[Kuzuryu] Perhaps we could propose
a new settlement figure?
The contaminants that the factory dumped
actually did cause environmental issues.
Twenty people in the surrounding community
died as a result.
[man] Diseases can be caused
by many factors.
What proof is there
that our company is responsible?
I heard that you were
an extremely talented lawyer,
but it seems
you do not understand the law.
Laws don't exist
to protect the weak from the powerful.
Everyone is equal
in the eyes of the law, sir.
[man] That is naive.
In order to save starving people,
you first need the power
to influence the world's economy.
Your principles are not enough to change
a world so full of contradictions.
Let me ask you.
What do you think we should do
to maintain a respectable, modern society?
We need a justice system.
A fair justice system
must exist at all levels.
You mentioned
You mentioned the importance
of respecting the world's economy.
But prioritizing economic growth
will create more inequality.
- A wealth gap
- No!
Your duty as a lawyer
isn't to make sound arguments.
Any fool is able to preach equality.
Fairness and justice have no place
in a world more full of monsters than men.
[sighs]
[man] However, thanks to the power
of human imagination,
we can make an unfair argument
sound fair and just.
And you will do just that.
It is your solemn duty
that is given to you by God.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Time limit reached.
The results of the third round.
[player in striped shirt] 100?
[computer]
The average of the numbers is 20.2.
After multiplying this value by 0.8,
the player closest to this number
is Master Daimon, the winner.
[gasps] Huh? I won?
I won?
Ah! Yes!
What's up, man?
Why'd you do that?
You picked 100.
That means you'll always lose.
There's a zero percent chance of winning,
don't you know?
I think all of you are overthinking this.
That kind of stuff
just gives me a headache.
So I blew it up.
[pulsing music]
[acid pouring]
[scoffs]
[laughs] Wow, you're insane.
[chuckles]
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] The winner of round six
is Master Chishiya.
The winner of round seven is
[tune plays]
Master Daimon.
[shrieks] Oh yeah!
[laughs]
I definitely don't wanna die like that.
[buzzer sounds]
[thinking] I'm at minus nine points.
If I miss any more, I die.
My formula must be foolproof.
[thinking] What do I do? I'm so lost here.
I can't use the same strategy.
[thinking] I can't make a single mistake.
The next time I lose, it's game over.
[thinking] Rationally speaking,
the average
should be getting closer to zero.
[Chishiya]
I bet he predicted this outcome.
[chiming]
[groans]
[chimes]
[computer] The winner of round ten is
[tune plays]
Master Kuzuryu.
[chiming]
[computer] Two players
now have negative ten points.
[man whimpering]
[computer] It is game over
for these participants.
[acid pouring]
[acid hissing]
[screaming]
Take this off! Someone!
I'll do anything! [screams]
Don't! Ah! Take this off!
Hey! Take this off!
What do you want, huh?
You want money? Please!
[whimpers] What can I do?
[gasping]
Please, stop this! Just stop!
[screaming]
[yelping]
[metal creaking]
[whimpering]
[screaming]
[screaming]
[groaning]
- [thump]
- [shrieks]
Now, this is more like a face card game.
[sizzling]
[Chishiya]
Is this the equality you're after?
[chiming]
[computer] As two players were eliminated,
two new rules will be added.
Rule number one.
If two or more players choose
the same number,
they will be disqualified from the round
and will each lose one point.
Rule number two.
Choosing the exact correct number
will cause the other players
to lose two points instead of one.
[sighs]
[breathing shakily]
[gasps]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] Results for round 11.
All of us picked zero?
All three players picked the same number
and are disqualified from the round.
All three players lose one point.
Huh?
Everyone ended up
choosing the same number.
[thinking] If that happens one more time,
it's game over for me.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round 12, start.
[chimes]
[chimes]
[chimes]
[computer] Results for round 12.
[tune plays]
[computer] As the winner chose
the exact correct number,
the other two players
will lose two points.
[Daimon] No way.
No way! This can't be happening!
How did you
You saw my answer, didn't you?
He cheated! He did!
You did! How else would you be able
to know which number I chose?
I knew it because I've been watching.
At the start of the last round,
you had negative eight points,
and I had negative nine.
Even if you lost,
you'd still get another chance.
So you took a risk,
thinking we'd eliminate each other.
I thought about that,
and I figured you'd pick a random number.
[scoffs] You want us to believe
you just guessed?
Impossible!
I knew what you thought we'd pick.
Odds are we'd choose numbers under 50.
[thinking] It's like he read my mind.
The King was up by three points before.
I couldn't catch up
if we chose the same number.
But I still had a chance if I could
get them to pick the same number.
[Chishiya] So you'd have to avoid
numbers under 50.
And if you were going to do that,
you'd have to avoid them
by a large margin.
Even so, you wouldn't pick too high.
Ninety and up is too much.
So over 50, under 90.
When you ask people to guess a number,
a few things come to mind.
Double digits, so they're out.
Same thing with nice, round numbers
divisible by ten.
When you put someone on the spot
and ask them to choose a number,
they'll usually go for eights,
threes and fives,
and some of those are prime.
You'd try not to pick them.
Not too many options left now.
How do we narrow the list further?
Some of these numbers we see every day.
Game systems,
movie titles,
brand logos.
Easy associations.
By my count, that just leaves 62 and 74.
No way to narrow it down.
So I Well,
I got lucky.
[unsteadily] I knew
I shouldn't have picked 74.
[chiming]
[computer]
A player now has negative ten points.
No, no. No. No, no!
No! No, no!
Don't!
Please! Just let me go.
I'll do anything! Let me go! Let me go!
[wails] No!
[screaming]
[sizzling]
Well
She said that not all lives
have the same value.
Think she still believed it?
Up until the bitter end?
[Kuzuryu] Tell me
Have you ever peered behind the curtain,
seen how the world really works?
Watched children die because their parents
couldn't afford a few yen for medicine?
Seen girls sold off
to pay for their parents' debts?
Been powerless
to break the cycle of poverty?
[buzzer sounds]
[computer] A new rule is being added.
If a player chooses zero as their number,
the other player will win
if they choose 100.
[Chishiya] A-ha.
Since there's only two players
left in the game at this point,
the one who picks closer to zero
is inevitably going to be the winner.
Just math.
So if you pick zero each time, you'll win.
You're further from negative ten.
But this new rule changes everything.
I still have a chance.
If you choose zero,
I can win by choosing 100.
But then if you think I'll choose 100,
you can choose one, and you'll win.
Three choices.
It all comes down to three choices.
Zero, one, and 100.
Rock, paper, scissors.
But I've only got one point left.
If we tie,
that's game over for me, isn't it?
The stakes couldn't be higher
if you tried.
[buzzer sounds]
I get it.
You're desperately trying
to make this fair.
But why? Why bother?
[Kuzuryu] Hypothetically,
if there were a million doses
of a vaccine for a disease,
which million people would you save?
[Chishiya] Ahhh.
I see it now.
You don't wanna have to choose
who gets to live and who has to die.
You don't want to determine
the value of a life.
[Kuzuryu] Exactly.
How could I weigh all the variables?
What makes one life worth saving
and one worthless?
How can I know?
So,
tell me what you think.
If you had to answer
the question put before you
What I'd do?
Give 'em to kids with no parents or money.
You would?
I would try to do that.
But I wouldn't be the one to choose.
It's about money.
Because anyone with enough money
can choose a life's value.
I bet you've seen it. Am I right?
You've peered behind the curtain.
I have.
After an accident,
there was no settlement paid out.
People died when they couldn't afford
the proper treatment.
So you understand.
Why do you bother
striving for justice at all?
Because I must.
Equality is something we fight for.
[beeping]
[Chishiya] Very good. You were great.
Next week is the big day.
You keep it up, okay?
Yeah.
[crying] Thank you.
[sobs] Doctor, thank you so much.
- [Chishiya] Of course.
- [sobs]
- [Chishiya] Excuse me.
- Yes, yes.
[Chishiya] Hayato's condition
is finally stable.
And that means this next surgery
should save his life.
[doctor] Yes. About the surgery
Listen.
There's been a change
to the transplant priority list.
- You've made a change?
- [doctor] Yes.
This patient was just moved up the list.
The grandchild
of a good friend of the director's.
- And what about Hayato?
- [doctor] Postponed.
They're important.
Their support keeps the hospital running.
We don't have a choice.
Medicine is all about this sort of thing.
Now, go inform the patient's parents.
But what do I say?
[scoffs]
You'll think of something.
He's your patient.
[crying]
Hayato
[doctor] Well
Even if he got the transplant last week,
there was a chance
he wasn't going to make it.
This isn't my fault.
You should know by now
your ideals aren't enough to save a life.
That's clear.
I'm not gonna carry it with me, sir.
This is our job.
SAKURAZAKA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
PHYSICIAN
PEDIATRIC CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY
[sighs]
[doctor] So, take care of it.
Sir.
How fascinating.
Perhaps I was brought to this place
so I could play this game with you.
I'm going to choose 100.
Why would you say that?
Just giving you some help.
Are you mad?
You can't just tell me what you'll choose.
Unless I select zero this round,
you've guaranteed your death.
Sitting across from you
is a man who is charging towards death.
You have to decide.
What value does this life hold?
What value does my life hold?
It's huge. Why bother?
[man] We lost everything
when we came here.
To abandon our ideals would be mad.
Ideals?
[echoing gasps and shouts]
[man] Hey. Come on.
[Kuzuryu gasping]
What are you doing? Just go.
[man] I can't do that.
In the last game I played,
a young man saved my life.
Now it's my turn to save someone.
I have to pay it forward.
You're not getting left behind.
I'm choosing to fight for this.
- [gasps]
- [echoing shouts]
You're choosing?
Now let's go.
[chimes]
[computer] Time limit reached.
The winner of round 13 is
[tune plays]
Master Chishiya.
You actually selected zero?
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round 14, start.
[chimes]
[computer]
The winner of round 14 is Master Chishiya.
[Chishiya] That's it then, isn't it?
Only one point left each.
This is the last round.
- [buzzer sounds]
- [computer] Round 15, start.
[Chishiya] So, then,
can you do it?
If you're finding it hard
to make your choice,
you can just kill me.
That's fair, don't you think?
[Kuzuryu] I cannot make that decision.
Was that your aim the whole time,
Master Chishiya?
To make sure
that our scores ended up tied?
In a way.
I wanted to witness this.
I wanted to be around
for your final choice.
[chimes]
If you pick one, you win.
- [crowd cheering]
- [house music playing]
[Kuzuryu] Ms. Momoka.
Would you answer a question for me?
You volunteered.
Someone had to be the witch.
But that means killing yourself.
Why would you do that?
I did it for my ideals.
[Momoka] The human heart is
a beautiful thing.
Human life is precious.
I believe that, truly.
And when I look at my life,
I know I've been able to survive
because of those ideals.
[sounds fade]
[gentle, poignant music]
Your games and rules don't get to kill me.
I'm not going to die because I lost.
I'm doing this
to show you all that you're wrong.
They're not going to kill each other
because they're not all bad.
If I'm destined to die here someday
then I get to choose how I walk that path.
[Kuzuryu] I'm just one man.
I don't know the value of a life.
Or the meaning of one.
And I don't think I ever will.
I'll never be the one to decide that.
But there's one thing
I'm able to decide now.
[chimes]
[computer] The final round is over.
So you made your choice.
The value of a life can't be decided.
Tell me why you did it.
I did it for my ideals.
[computer] The winner is
Master Chishiya.
[chiming]
A player has reached negative ten points.
It is game over for that player.
It's nice to see
that you can actually smile.
I'm finally free.
I made my own choice.
And based on my own ideals.
It's all because of you.
[woman] At last. It's our turn.
What?
That doesn't excite you?
If I'm going to have a game to myself
I want it to be fair.
You quit while you were ahead.
I gave you the chance to make that choice.
I'm so jealous of you.
[machinery clanks and hisses]
[sizzling]
[sizzling fading]
GAME CLEAR
CONGRATULATIONS
[wind rustling through leaves]
[fast ambient music]
[Arisu] We've almost died
a thousand times.
We could still die, any second.
I don't believe it.
It's a miracle we made it
as far as we have.
If it was a miracle that got us here,
let's take the opportunity and fight.
Me and you.
Yeah.
[emotional music swells]
I'm going to make it home.
For the future. For the me of tomorrow.
