[gasps]
5
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:23,898
There's no need for AIs
to try and fit in with humans.
6
00:00:24,649 --> 00:00:26,151
Humans caused all of this,
7
00:00:26,234 --> 00:00:29,279
so they're the ones
who should try to fit into this world.
8
00:00:32,282 --> 00:00:35,577
[Taichiro] Wh... Ka... Kamaitachi?

[theme song in Japanese plays]

00:02:09,003 --> 00:02:10,003
[Asuma] Brother!
12
00:02:11,339 --> 00:02:12,715
Kamaitachi?

00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,301
[groaning]
14
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:17,929
- [Asuma] Dad!
- No, sir!

00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,021
- This shit is real!
- [squeaks]

[screeches]
20
00:02:33,361 --> 00:02:35,238
[thinks] Kamaitachi? That's right.
21
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:38,783
It's helpless without its sickle
and quickly loses the will to fight.
22
00:02:39,367 --> 00:02:41,244
You're going to get through this.
23
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:42,328
Dad, no!
24
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:43,705
- [squeaks]
- Huh?
25
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:47,584
Gah!
26
00:02:48,084 --> 00:02:49,169
- [Kamuro] Asuma!
- Huh?
27
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:51,129
You'll have to carry your dad.
28
00:02:51,212 --> 00:02:53,840
- I'll... I'll take his legs.
- [Kojiro groaning]
29
00:02:54,924 --> 00:02:58,219
[Taichiro] Hold on.
What the hell's going on?
30
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:01,890
- The Birdcage...
- Impossible.
31
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,268
The Black Bird lost control of that world.
32
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:07,437
[Asuma] Huh?
33
00:03:08,271 --> 00:03:09,355
No way.
34
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:14,068
How am I opening a menu screen,
as if... this is PLANET?
35
00:03:15,278 --> 00:03:17,697
Hey, Kam... Ms. Kamuro.
36
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,658
And shithead.
37
00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:22,952
Explain yourselves, right now!
38
00:03:23,912 --> 00:03:25,747
Don't mess with me.
39
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:28,917
You guys know what's going on,
don't you?
40
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:32,003
{\an8}[groaning] Ka... Kamuro...
41
00:03:32,086 --> 00:03:34,839
[gasps] Say "Shaiah" to me...
42
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:36,716
- [groaning]
- [Kamuro] What?
43
00:03:37,383 --> 00:03:38,383
[sighs]
44
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,346
Uh... Sh... Shaiah.
45
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:43,097
[soft chiming]
46
00:03:47,101 --> 00:03:49,145
- [grunts]
- [gasps]
47
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:50,396
Huh?
48
00:03:57,445 --> 00:03:59,322
Hmm...
49
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:04,452
The truth is... that we're all infected.
50
00:04:06,162 --> 00:04:09,958
The four of us...
we've been brought into PLANET.
51
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:12,794
{\an8}MANGA CAFÉ - FIRST AVENUE

[screaming and wailing]
53
00:04:18,049 --> 00:04:19,467
- [explosion]
- [gasps]

00:04:21,177 --> 00:04:22,220
[headset whirrs]
55
00:04:22,303 --> 00:04:23,179
What...
56
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:25,139
{\an8}- [woman] An earthquake? Get down!
- [yelps]
57
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:28,768
- Oh, that hurt.
- [man] Wait, there wasn't an alert.
58
00:04:28,851 --> 00:04:30,853
- What the hell was that?
- [confused voices]
59
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,313
I have to call home.
60
00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:35,650
- No bars?
- [woman screaming]

- [shocked voices]
- [screaming]
62
00:04:37,568 --> 00:04:39,237
What now? Oh!
63
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:43,408
[woman] Oh my God!
64
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:45,868
[Kamuro] Amazing.
65
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:48,705
I can feel the flame's warmth.
66
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:51,582
I never thought
I'd get to experience this firsthand.
67
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:55,753
I mean, the isomorph specifications...
it's like they border on perfection.
68
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:59,173
But this "environment," it's...
Well, it's very poorly made.
69
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:01,634
- [ringing tone]
- The quantum mechanics are quite basic.
70
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:03,177
Take this flame, for example.
71
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:05,680
It's just a low-level
virtual reproduction.
72
00:05:06,222 --> 00:05:10,101
Additionally, the air on my skin,
it feels artificial, like VR.
73
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:13,396
And not very sophisticated VR, at that.
74
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:14,939
She's kidding us, right?
75
00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:17,650
We're in a crisis,
and all she can do is talk tech?
76
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:20,194
She's an engineer, she can't help herself.
77
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:24,157
Ugh, it's no use.
It's not connecting anywhere.
78
00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:26,534
I can't even get online.
79
00:05:26,617 --> 00:05:29,013
- [man] Abnormal situations...
- But, wait, this still works.
80
00:05:29,037 --> 00:05:30,496
What is going on?
81
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:32,957
- [bleeping]
- We have further updates to share.
82
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:37,086
Throughout the whole world, mysterious
creatures are beginning to appear.
83
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:38,629
They are also attacking...
84
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:44,427
We have just learned of another one
who has suddenly appeared in Korea.
85
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:50,058
This is in addition to a separate report
of a troop of giant flying beasts
86
00:05:50,141 --> 00:05:51,976
attacking people in New York.
87
00:05:52,977 --> 00:05:55,021
We obtained this footage
from a resident.
88
00:05:55,104 --> 00:05:58,399
- They appear to be gigantic... bats!
- [screeching]
89
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:03,154
It's not just happening to us.
They're everywhere.
90
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:05,656
Monsters in our world?
91
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:08,743
Does this mean
that PLANET is becoming real?
92
00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:10,466
- [Kamuro] That's incorrect.
- [both gasp]
93
00:06:10,995 --> 00:06:13,915
It's not exactly real. More the opposite.
94
00:06:13,998 --> 00:06:15,917
We've been thrown into a cyberspace.
95
00:06:16,417 --> 00:06:17,919
We were all forced to log in.
96
00:06:18,002 --> 00:06:20,671
And now we're in a shared dream.
Think of it that way.
97
00:06:21,255 --> 00:06:22,924
{\an8}This whole thing is unreal.
98
00:06:23,508 --> 00:06:26,427
[Kamuro] AI is now transcending
human intelligence.
99
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:32,225
The Black Bird has evolved,
and as a result... it controls the Internet.
100
00:06:33,101 --> 00:06:36,479
If you have a computer, a smartphone,
a wearable device,
101
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:39,732
or anything with an internet connection
nearby,
102
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:42,735
that, and that alone,
is enough to get you infected.
103
00:06:43,778 --> 00:06:46,406
What? But that's everyone, right?
104
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:48,616
I mean, those devices are everywhere!
105
00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:51,160
Well, that's where we stand, I guess.
106
00:06:51,744 --> 00:06:53,746
Is this... actual PLANET?
107
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:55,330
Mmm.
108
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:57,667
There's no doubt about it.
109
00:06:58,167 --> 00:06:59,419
[gasps]
110
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:01,379
No way. Impossible.
111
00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:08,136
'Cause this...
112
00:07:09,637 --> 00:07:11,222
this is not fun.
113
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:15,601
{\an8}This can't be the game!
114
00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:21,399
[screaming]
115
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,025
[woman] Yes, it's a giant!
116
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,778
It appeared in front
of the railway station just now!
117
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:28,406
- Are you getting this? It's enormous!
- [man wails]
118
00:07:28,531 --> 00:07:30,867
- [woman gasps] Oh my... Someone is...
- Oh no! [yells]
119
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:32,785
[woman] No! Oh my God!
120
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:35,079
Uh, please... please keep, uh...
121
00:07:35,163 --> 00:07:38,332
Keep small children away from the TV.
This footage is just gruesome!
122
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:41,794
- Hold on. That was... that was an avatar.
- The creature continues to attack people!
123
00:07:41,878 --> 00:07:44,130
- A real person didn't just die.
- [screaming]
124
00:07:44,213 --> 00:07:45,715
[woman] No! [screams]
125
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:48,217
- No, get back, run away... [screams]
- [squelching]
126
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:50,678
- Don't worry. She's fine.
- You bastard!
127
00:07:50,761 --> 00:07:52,472
Take your damn blinders off!
128
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:56,309
They're real! They're real and
they're dying because of what you made!
129
00:07:57,226 --> 00:08:00,188
{\an8}The Black Bird
was a business project, that's all.
130
00:08:00,271 --> 00:08:02,482
{\an8}And I wasn't the only person involved.
131
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:08,029
{\an8}Uh, others took part, so I should not
be the one to take sole responsibility.
132
00:08:08,112 --> 00:08:11,741
{\an8}[stammering] Plus... these are
only pseudo-deaths of avatars.
133
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:14,660
So I... It... it... I just... Uh...
134
00:08:15,369 --> 00:08:16,454
Oh, sir...
135
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,708
[man 1] Mr. Yamauchi!
Mr. Yamauchi, can you hear me?
136
00:08:20,791 --> 00:08:22,126
[man 2] Should we cut the feed?
137
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:23,419
{\an8}- Or keep going?

139
00:08:27,048 --> 00:08:29,175
[grunts] It's Mom!
140
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,511
That's the north side of the station.
141
00:08:31,594 --> 00:08:33,471
- [grunting]
- Brother!
142
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:36,098
I... I'm coming with you!
143
00:08:38,476 --> 00:08:39,685

The shittiest, shittiest,
shittiest shit of all...

- [sobs] That's all I am!
- [melancholy music plays]

- [crying]
- No, sir... don't say that.
148
00:08:53,282 --> 00:08:55,451
Okay? This isn't helping.
149
00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:59,580
Everything's my fault.
I'm the cause of all of this.
150
00:09:00,998 --> 00:09:02,542
I'm worried about those two.
151
00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:07,547
If they die in this world, I'm afraid that
the worst will actually happen to them.
152
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,507
So let's go.
153
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:12,176
Let's save your sons and your wife.
154
00:09:14,804 --> 00:09:16,180
But how can I?
155
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:20,017
How can you?
You're the greatest engineer of all time!
156
00:09:20,101 --> 00:09:21,644
And you are not alone!
157
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:25,690
This is cyberspace, sir.
If anyone can help, it's you.
158
00:09:25,773 --> 00:09:28,150
[sighs] Hmm.
159
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:30,444
Now pull yourself together.
160
00:09:31,153 --> 00:09:32,947
Remember that you are loved.
161
00:09:33,698 --> 00:09:37,034
And this time... you'll protect your family.
162
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,455
[screaming and panting]
163
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:43,290

Mother!
166
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:53,301
Mother! Mom, where are you?
167
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:55,261
[Taichiro] Mom!
168
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:57,221
[Asuma] Mom, where are you?
169
00:09:57,305 --> 00:09:58,514
Can you hear us?
170
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:01,183
Oh! Is that Taichi?

00:10:01,892 --> 00:10:04,854

Taichi. You used magic!
202
00:11:21,722 --> 00:11:24,016
{\an8}Yeah, but it was just a rudimentary spell.
203
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,104
{\an8}So much for our stats. Looks like
they didn't get replicated here.

[Kojiro] Yes, you're right. I did.
215
00:12:11,355 --> 00:12:13,524
I hacked this world from within.
216
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:18,112
It's still PLANET, even if
the Black Bird did rewrite the algorithm.
217
00:12:18,195 --> 00:12:19,739
We knew what we had to do.
218
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,575
Kamuro and I performed
a thorough analysis.
219
00:12:23,075 --> 00:12:25,953

{\an8}Fine, then humor me. Use your genius

{\an8}Well, that... that's not going to be simple.

{\an8}An institution is one thing.
230

{\an8}But to control the entire system?
That's another matter.
231
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:58,152
We have to find the Black Bird,
232
00:12:58,235 --> 00:13:02,364
which is the foundation, the server,
and the protocol of this world,
233
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,283
and delete it.
234

I won't pretend
that I understand all of what's going on.

Miyabi...

We have Kojiro, and Taichi, and Asuma.
And we even have Kamuro!

It'll be fine, so all of you, stop looking

- [Taichiro] What are you doing?
- [Kojiro] You're relapsing.

00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:11,600
You need professional treatment.

It's no good to deny your condition.
There are counselors that can help you.

This is wrong.

It's all wrong.

Please be kind to each other.

{\an8}What do you mean?
294
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:55,329
[Kamuro] In the virtual world,
you were a happy, loving family.
295
00:15:55,829 --> 00:16:00,209
Why? Why couldn't you ever be
that way in the real world?
296
00:16:00,709 --> 00:16:02,795
Isn't that what you wanted?
297
00:16:02,878 --> 00:16:06,215
Weren't all of you desperately longing
for that happiness?
298
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:07,298
[Kojiro gasps]
299
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,719
[Kamuro] Maybe your father
didn't want to know.
300
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:14,348
But it wouldn't have taken much
to figure out your real identities.
301
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:18,769
Maybe he had a hunch.
Maybe it was simply a matter of ethics.
302
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:20,729
But the truth remains.
303
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:24,358
All this time,
you were playing with your real family.

00:16:25,192 --> 00:16:26,192
Taichiro.
305
00:16:26,777 --> 00:16:29,405
For years, I didn't have
a good impression of you.
306
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:32,491
I saw you as the source of a curse
307
00:16:32,574 --> 00:16:35,077
that's been tormenting your father
all this time.
308
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,036
Huh?
309
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,833
[Kamuro] But I found out that it wasn't
just your father who's been suffering.
310
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:44,003
And when you said, with no hesitation,
311
00:16:44,086 --> 00:16:47,131
that you'd give up your life
for your younger brother...
312
00:16:47,214 --> 00:16:50,884
I saw you were a kind person,
like your father.
313
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:52,636
And like your brother, as well.
314
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:54,471
Hmm.

So come on.

00:16:57,266 --> 00:17:00,227
There's no need
for these silly misunderstandings.
318
00:17:00,310 --> 00:17:02,730
The Akabane Family's been real all along.
319
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:06,108
What's more, it's not just real.
320
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:08,027
It's a warm and loving family.
321
00:17:08,819 --> 00:17:11,864
- [all gasping]
- Too real, too warm, and too loving...
322
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,616
for me to have a place in it.
323
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,118
[Taichiro sobbing]
324
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:30,799
[Taichiro] I ran so hard from
that shithead and what happened to Aya,
325
00:17:31,675 --> 00:17:33,427
I distanced myself from everyone.
326
00:17:34,261 --> 00:17:35,679
I shut myself in.
327
00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:40,893
And I vowed that I'd die
before I ever got close to anyone again.
328
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:45,064
But as time went by, my loneliness grew...
329
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:47,608
and it was killing me.
330
00:17:47,691 --> 00:17:51,278
I just needed someone
to know that I existed.
331
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:53,822
After I pushed people away,
332
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:57,534
I escaped to a world
where it was all about human interactions.
333
00:17:57,618 --> 00:17:59,536
It was ironic, yet inevitable.

This can't be true. [sobs]
337
00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:25,270
I ran away from that shithead.
338
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:28,899
And then I met Shiro... and I... [sobs]
339
00:18:28,982 --> 00:18:31,360
And I finally found a family.
340
00:18:32,444 --> 00:18:34,822
No way. No way!

- [gulping]
- [Taichiro sobbing]
344
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:47,918
So, then, tell me what it's like.
345
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:50,129
This is a brand-new taste.
346
00:18:50,212 --> 00:18:53,257
Sorrow, anger, regret.
347
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:55,425
It tastes like it's pitch-black in there.
348
00:18:56,009 --> 00:18:57,761
It's close to nothingness.
349
00:18:57,845 --> 00:19:01,098
Oh, right, despair.
I think that's what it's called, isn't it?
350
00:19:01,682 --> 00:19:04,101
Well, do emotions taste good, Sasumata?
351
00:19:04,726 --> 00:19:09,314
They're just like water. They quench
my thirst, but they have no flavor.
352
00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:11,733
[trembling]
353
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:14,361
You bastard!
354
00:19:14,444 --> 00:19:17,573
{\an8}I'm uninstalling all AIs. You're finished!
355
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,033
Please calm down, Shiro.
356
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,161
Uh... Huh?
357
00:19:22,661 --> 00:19:25,497
- I think we should talk first, don't you?
- [gasps]
358
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:26,999
[unsettling music plays]
359
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:29,459
[Asuma] The Black...
360
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:33,130
- He's the Black Bird.
- Huh?
361
00:19:33,213 --> 00:19:34,339
He has to be.
362
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:38,093
I can still remember seeing it up close.
363
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:43,807
[electronic gabbling]
364
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:47,810
[grunts]
365
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:49,938
[groans]
366
00:19:50,772 --> 00:19:53,025
- [Kamuro] Sir!
- [Miyabi] Kojiro!
367
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:56,403
Hate to break this to you,
but Sasumata's basically unbeatable.
368
00:19:56,486 --> 00:20:00,073
The reason being
Sasumata's, well, the best AI there is.
369
00:20:00,157 --> 00:20:01,617
None of the others compare.
370
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,201
Huh?
371
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,205
After the world became this... [chuckles]
372
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:07,581
I knew what I had to do.
373
00:20:07,664 --> 00:20:09,791
The first thing was to come see you guys.
374
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,877
{\an8}- [breathing heavily]
- Stay back, Kamuro.
375
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,004
{\an8}- Don't make a move!
- Why not?
376
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:18,050
[Kojiro] That thing is
the operating system of this world.
377
00:20:18,133 --> 00:20:20,719
It can destroy us
with a flick of a finger.
378
00:20:20,802 --> 00:20:23,472
We should retreat before we're wiped out...
379
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:27,684
We have discussed that.
But, for now at least, it's unnecessary.
380
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:29,478
[grumbles] Bastard!
381
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,940
You're responsible
for bringing about this tragedy.
382
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:36,818
Your role in AI can't be ignored...
Kojiro Arima.
383
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,738
And I must say,
taking revenge was quite tempting.
384
00:20:39,821 --> 00:20:41,698
- [Miyabi shudders]
- [Kojiro growls]
385
00:20:42,282 --> 00:20:45,285
But no... You're basically
the god of this world.
386
00:20:45,869 --> 00:20:47,454
You're the creator of PLANET.
387
00:20:47,537 --> 00:20:50,791
This incredible world
that I and many others call home.
388
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:53,752
So when it comes to you,
I guess I'm ambivalent.
389
00:20:53,835 --> 00:20:57,839
Decisions, decisions...
Maybe we could just torture you forever.
390
00:20:57,923 --> 00:21:01,760
Or perhaps use you as an entertainer,
worthy of some degree of respect.
391
00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:06,932
We did consider all that, but in the end,
we knew what would be best.
392
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,976
[dramatic music playing]
393
00:21:11,186 --> 00:21:15,023
{\an8}We want you to stay here, in this world,
as the Akabane Family.
394
00:21:16,233 --> 00:21:17,484
No! Never!
395
00:21:17,567 --> 00:21:19,861
That's fair penance for your sin.
396
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:22,281
And it's my most merciful offer, Shiro.
397
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:28,161
That's naive.
No one's going to allow that to happen.
398
00:21:28,245 --> 00:21:31,748
Mankind has built a functioning society.
We've built a world.
399
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:34,626
Gah! And now you're telling us
to abandon it for this?
400
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:36,295
We will not! Do you hear me?
401
00:21:36,378 --> 00:21:38,297
[Sasumata] Oh. Not you, sweetheart.
402
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:40,673
[grunting]
403
00:21:41,425 --> 00:21:45,137
{\an8}Everyone who was involved in the
development and deletion of AIs,
404
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:46,221
{\an8}they'll all die.
405
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:48,098
{\an8}Kamuro!
406
00:21:48,682 --> 00:21:49,682
Deletion?
407
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:53,854
The Black Bird must feed,
so it feeds on the AIs on PLANET.
408
00:21:53,937 --> 00:21:56,148
Its why these people made AIs.
409
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:59,151
But they got rid of them. When they got
in the way, they were deleted.
410
00:21:59,735 --> 00:22:01,028
Or killed, rather.
411
00:22:01,737 --> 00:22:05,532
Not just George of the Cyber Knights,
but Jutaro the Fortune Teller,
412
00:22:05,615 --> 00:22:09,661
and the Gladiator,
emeo119, and Iris the Chef.
413
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:11,413
And of course...
414
00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:14,082
Pico of the Pirates had to go, too.
415
00:22:17,044 --> 00:22:18,044
Huh?
416
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:20,964
Pico was hunted down and killed...
417
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:23,133
by Shiro himself.
418
00:22:23,633 --> 00:22:25,052
[Taichiro shudders]
419
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:27,012
- [squelching]
- Bye-bye.
420
00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:29,222
Sir. Sir!
421
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:45,155
