1. Good morning.
Copy !req
2. Who are you?
Copy !req
3. Nona. And you?
Copy !req
4. I am...
Copy !req
5. Huh?
Copy !req
6. It's all right.
Copy !req
7. You don't have a name.
Copy !req
8. Shake up your wishful-thinking fantasies,
Copy !req
9. stir up your reality, and
let your individuality shine
Copy !req
10. That's one more down from
your armful of problems
Copy !req
11. From top to tail, it's
our life's entertainment
Copy !req
12. The future that's unfurled isn't dead yet
Copy !req
13. Kick off from the ground and soar even higher
Copy !req
14. Everybody put your hands up
Copy !req
15. Now we're flyin', be your own wings
Copy !req
16. I'd like to see you get carried away
Copy !req
17. We're still growing, off into a new world
Copy !req
18. Everybody put your hands up
Copy !req
19. Now we're flyin', keep that imagery
Copy !req
20. I'm sure you can be who you want to be
Copy !req
21. Find yourself, you're the
one, up on the big stage
Copy !req
22. (Flyin') There among all your
(Flyin') forgotten memories,
Copy !req
23. listen to the pounding
of your heart once again
Copy !req
24. Say, where are we going?
Copy !req
25. The 15th floor.
Copy !req
26. This way.
Copy !req
27. Clavis!
Copy !req
28. Terribly sorry to keep you waiting.
Copy !req
29. You're late.
Copy !req
30. I'll be more careful in the
future. Where to today?
Copy !req
31. Decim's place.
Copy !req
32. Okay!
Copy !req
33. Oh, hi.
Copy !req
34. Hi there.
Copy !req
35. See you later!
Copy !req
36. Miss Nona, thank you.
Copy !req
37. Welcome to Quindecim.
Copy !req
38. I am the bartender, Decim.
Copy !req
39. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
40. Um, what is this—
Copy !req
41. This is where the deceased come.
Copy !req
42. The deceased?
Copy !req
43. You mean the dead?
Copy !req
44. Yes.
Copy !req
45. There will be two deceased coming here.
Copy !req
46. We're going to have them play a
game with their lives at stake.
Copy !req
47. Uh-huh...
Copy !req
48. We pass judgment on the deceased,
Copy !req
49. based on their life memories,
Copy !req
50. as well as the extent of the humanity
they display during all this.
Copy !req
51. We are arbiters.
Copy !req
52. Arbiters?
Copy !req
53. My, you look like this
comes to you as a surprise.
Copy !req
54. Anyway, before the deceased get here,
Copy !req
55. the memories of our guests are
compiled and sent to the arbiters.
Copy !req
56. Compiled?
Copy !req
57. Yes.
Copy !req
58. Kind of like hocus-pocus.
Copy !req
59. Sort of a kaleidoscope of images.
Copy !req
60. Understand?
Copy !req
61. More or less.
Copy !req
62. Um, am I—
Copy !req
63. Just a moment.
Copy !req
64. Quin, we're ready.
Copy !req
65. Okay, sending memories.
Copy !req
66. Now the performance should go faster.
Copy !req
67. Decim, if you would?
Copy !req
68. Very well.
Copy !req
69. Over this way.
Copy !req
70. Excuse me!
Copy !req
71. Hmm?
Copy !req
72. What is it that I do here?
Copy !req
73. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
74. I forgot.
Copy !req
75. You're an assistant.
Copy !req
76. In here.
Copy !req
77. They're dummies.
Copy !req
78. It's Decim's pastime.
Copy !req
79. Don't pay them any mind.
Copy !req
80. They're disgusting.
Copy !req
81. It's an awful pastime, isn't it?
Copy !req
82. Right now, on the other side,
Copy !req
83. Decim is persuading our
guests to play a game.
Copy !req
84. On the other side?
Copy !req
85. Yes.
Copy !req
86. Eyes forward.
Copy !req
87. And sit very still, okay?
Copy !req
88. Our star players this time are these two—
Copy !req
89. Takashi and Machiko.
Copy !req
90. Newly wed, and newly dead.
Copy !req
91. "Death Reverse"
Copy !req
92. Those two are dead?
Copy !req
93. The shock of dying makes everyone
forget that they are even dead.
Copy !req
94. That's why it won't do
for them to realize it.
Copy !req
95. Why not?
Copy !req
96. If they knew they were dead,
Copy !req
97. why would they play a game
with their lives at stake?
Copy !req
98. But the act of risking your
life on a game itself seems...
Copy !req
99. Yes.
Copy !req
100. Normally, they wouldn't.
Copy !req
101. That's why we have to prompt them.
Copy !req
102. Huh?
Copy !req
103. We make them think that they might
die if they don't play the game.
Copy !req
104. That's the present situation.
Copy !req
105. He's in the process of intimidating them?
Copy !req
106. That's right.
Copy !req
107. So don't move.
Copy !req
108. Let's just do what he says for now.
Copy !req
109. There's no telling what he
might do if we go against him.
Copy !req
110. Prompting successful.
Copy !req
111. Why would you go this far?
Copy !req
112. It's necessary for their verdict.
Copy !req
113. In our experience, the best way
to create extreme conditions
Copy !req
114. is to have people risk their
lives over some contest.
Copy !req
115. Extreme conditions?
Copy !req
116. The state of extreme tension
that comes during the game.
Copy !req
117. Mentally speaking, mainly.
Copy !req
118. Okay, onto the next phase.
Copy !req
119. Wait.
Copy !req
120. What is it?
Copy !req
121. When you say the verdict
requires extreme conditions...
Copy !req
122. We can't judge people
on their memories alone.
Copy !req
123. Once they reveal as much as possible
of the darkest parts of their souls,
Copy !req
124. the arbiters take it all in.
Copy !req
125. That's when we first pass judgment.
Copy !req
126. The darkest parts of their souls?
Copy !req
127. Still not convinced?
Copy !req
128. Do you know what the most primitive
emotion people have is?
Copy !req
129. Not really.
Copy !req
130. It's fear.
Copy !req
131. The dummies in here are wearing clothes.
Copy !req
132. Pay no attention.
Copy !req
133. Instead, look down there.
Copy !req
134. The game is darts?
Copy !req
135. Yes, this time.
Copy !req
136. Machiko!
Copy !req
137. —Huh? What happened?
Copy !req
138. —That's not possible!
Copy !req
139. This game involves pain.
Copy !req
140. Huh?
Copy !req
141. He hit the shoulder target,
Copy !req
142. so Machiko's shoulder started to hurt.
Copy !req
143. What is this?
Copy !req
144. Honey!
Copy !req
145. Does it really hurt?
Copy !req
146. This time, it was the lungs, I'd say.
Copy !req
147. The game is one where they each
throw seven darts at targets,
Copy !req
148. which are linked to organs
within their bodies.
Copy !req
149. Almost as though they
were stabbing each other.
Copy !req
150. This is over the edge.
Copy !req
151. You'll soon get used to it.
Copy !req
152. Oh, I get it.
Copy !req
153. They can just miss.
Copy !req
154. Decim told them about that.
Copy !req
155. But what will they do?
Copy !req
156. Huh?
Copy !req
157. The scores.
Copy !req
158. If they keep on missing like
this, Machiko will be the winner.
Copy !req
159. That's fine, isn't it?
Copy !req
160. Perhaps from where you're sitting.
Copy !req
161. But not for those who are playing.
Copy !req
162. They think that if they
lose, they might be killed.
Copy !req
163. But nobody ever—
Copy !req
164. You're right.
Copy !req
165. Nobody said so.
Copy !req
166. Still, they get to thinking...
Copy !req
167. "What happens if I lose?"
Copy !req
168. Nobody wants to go down a dangerous path.
Copy !req
169. After all, it's scary.
Copy !req
170. Oh, no!
Copy !req
171. I'm sorry, Machiko!
Copy !req
172. My hand slipped!
Copy !req
173. Sure enough.
Copy !req
174. It was intentional?
Copy !req
175. All we can tell comes from the
kaleidoscope of their memories.
Copy !req
176. We can only guess at what
they are thinking right now.
Copy !req
177. Then it's a hunch?
Copy !req
178. Well, you might call it that,
Copy !req
179. but it takes experience and
observation to make a judgment.
Copy !req
180. My eyes!
Copy !req
181. People are fascinating.
Copy !req
182. Even after all that I've seen,
Copy !req
183. there are yet many things I don't
know about how the mind works.
Copy !req
184. Incidentally, as to the way they died...
Copy !req
185. They died in an accident
during their honeymoon,
Copy !req
186. because Takashi suspected
Machiko of being unfaithful.
Copy !req
187. That's terrible...
Copy !req
188. Your child...
Copy !req
189. Why didn't you say something?
Copy !req
190. I was planning to surprise
you during our trip.
Copy !req
191. I still haven't told anyone.
Copy !req
192. I wanted you to be the first to know.
Copy !req
193. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
194. Thank you, Machiko.
Copy !req
195. At last, I'm going to be a father.
Copy !req
196. Their memories are coming back.
Copy !req
197. Huh?
Copy !req
198. It's set up so that they're
stimulated during the game.
Copy !req
199. We don't know what they'll remember,
Copy !req
200. but the memories deal with their deaths.
Copy !req
201. They've forgotten them
from the shock of dying,
Copy !req
202. so we forcibly evoke them.
Copy !req
203. Congratulations.
Copy !req
204. Ms. Machiko is the winner.
Copy !req
205. The game is hereby at an end.
Copy !req
206. Both of you, please move over this way.
Copy !req
207. Just a minute!
Copy !req
208. Please, wait just a minute!
Copy !req
209. Just one more!
Copy !req
210. It's no use!
Copy !req
211. What?
Copy !req
212. None of this...
Copy !req
213. is any use now.
Copy !req
214. Machiko...
Copy !req
215. Tell me, we're...
Copy !req
216. dead now, right?
Copy !req
217. Yes.
Copy !req
218. The two of you have already passed on.
Copy !req
219. Following their deaths,
Copy !req
220. people are sent either to Heaven or to Hell.
Copy !req
221. Heaven or Hell?
Copy !req
222. It's easy for people to picture
that, so that's what we call them.
Copy !req
223. More precisely, they're divided
between reincarnation and the void.
Copy !req
224. Reincarnation and the void?
Copy !req
225. If reincarnated, their soul
will inhabit another person.
Copy !req
226. If they are sent to the
void, their soul is lost,
Copy !req
227. and they plunge into a deep darkness.
Copy !req
228. They are judged to determine the
destination of their souls...
Copy !req
229. Yep.
Copy !req
230. That is the role of an arbiter.
Copy !req
231. And so, this is the tribunal of the soul.
Copy !req
232. It's not my child!
Copy !req
233. Then, whose child do you think it is?
Copy !req
234. Someone else's, of course!
Copy !req
235. Takashi...
Copy !req
236. I promise you...
Copy !req
237. I will make you a happy woman.
Copy !req
238. I want you to marry me.
Copy !req
239. Yes.
Copy !req
240. I most sincerely accept.
Copy !req
241. You're right about that.
Copy !req
242. You see, there's someone else I love.
Copy !req
243. I mean, there'd have to be, right?
Copy !req
244. Who do you think would ever
fall in love with you?
Copy !req
245. What are you, brain-damaged?
Copy !req
246. Obviously, I was after your money!
Copy !req
247. You... really were making all of it up?
Copy !req
248. Of course it was all a lie!
Copy !req
249. I mean, your child?
Copy !req
250. Why, you dirty bitch!
Copy !req
251. All right, off you go.
Copy !req
252. Nice job.
Copy !req
253. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
254. What did you think?
Copy !req
255. Hmm...
Copy !req
256. It was awful.
Copy !req
257. You'll soon get used to it.
Copy !req
258. Where did each of them end up going?
Copy !req
259. Takashi's soul was sent for reincarnation,
Copy !req
260. and Machiko's was sent into the void, right?
Copy !req
261. Yes.
Copy !req
262. I see...
Copy !req
263. Um...
Copy !req
264. There's something I'd like you to tell me.
Copy !req
265. So in short, Ms. Machiko had another man.
Copy !req
266. Yes.
Copy !req
267. You look like you're not convinced.
Copy !req
268. I'm sure it could have been just
a one-time thing, couldn't it?
Copy !req
269. Why do you think so?
Copy !req
270. A hunch.
Copy !req
271. And...?
Copy !req
272. It was bothering her all this time...
Copy !req
273. I think the baby inside her was Takashi's.
Copy !req
274. But she said herself that it wasn't.
Copy !req
275. Ms. Machiko was very sorrowful
when she said that.
Copy !req
276. I think it's clear that she was lying.
Copy !req
277. Lying?
Copy !req
278. Why would there be any need for that?
Copy !req
279. I think she used her own child
in order to save Mr. Takashi.
Copy !req
280. Used, you say?
Copy !req
281. To lessen his grief over the news
that he had killed his own child,
Copy !req
282. if even only a little bit.
Copy !req
283. Even if it meant he would resent her.
Copy !req
284. It was all an act?
Copy !req
285. That's what it would mean.
Copy !req
286. That's incomprehensible.
Copy !req
287. After all, they were already dead.
Copy !req
288. I believe it's because they were dead.
Copy !req
289. I can only imagine it,
Copy !req
290. but when she knew they were really
about to go their separate ways,
Copy !req
291. maybe she felt she wanted
to respect her own feelings.
Copy !req
292. Her own feelings?
Copy !req
293. How do you not get this?
Copy !req
294. Her fondness for him!
Copy !req
295. You're talking about love?
Copy !req
296. In that case...
Copy !req
297. I have to say, though, Matchy
really does play to win.
Copy !req
298. Matchy?
Copy !req
299. —But now that you mention it...
Copy !req
300. —Do they mean Machiko?
Copy !req
301. If he hadn't gotten the wrong
idea, the two of them...
Copy !req
302. should have had a happy life.
Copy !req
303. Ms. Nona, could I have...
Copy !req
304. Everyone makes mistakes.
Copy !req
305. But then, people's feelings often
get expressed in random ways.
Copy !req
306. You're an arbiter; don't just brush them off.
Copy !req
307. I-I am terribly sorry.
Copy !req
308. Don't forget.
Copy !req
309. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
310. All right then, the usual.
Copy !req
311. Very well.
Copy !req
312. This is your usual?
Copy !req
313. What?
Copy !req
314. They're good.
Copy !req
315. As fantastic as always!
Copy !req
316. You're right.
Copy !req
317. It's delicious.
Copy !req
318. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
319. With Decim, it's drinks and seriousness.
Copy !req
320. Other than those, he has no saving graces.
Copy !req
321. He's stony-faced, and his
hobby is building mannequins.
Copy !req
322. Uh-huh, I know.
Copy !req
323. Well, you can take it from here.
Copy !req
324. Huh? You say I'm an "assistant,"
but what do I do?
Copy !req
325. Hmm, well, just keep doing what you're doing.
Copy !req
326. How did she do?
Copy !req
327. Not bad, I'd say.
Copy !req
328. Huh?
Copy !req
329. What?
Copy !req
330. It's rare that you don't put them down.
Copy !req
331. Happy?
Copy !req
332. Matchy?
Copy !req
333. Do they mean Machiko?
Copy !req
334. That was not just a simple misunderstanding.
Copy !req
335. That man was someone who
could not trust others.
Copy !req
336. There's no way he would have
found happiness, is there?
Copy !req
337. Actually, I take that back.
Copy !req
338. Huh?
Copy !req
339. She has a way to go.
Copy !req
340. I look forward to working together.
Copy !req
341. As do I.
Copy !req
342. Also, I apologize for earlier.
Copy !req
343. Huh?
Copy !req
344. I have respect for people
who live fulfilled lives.
Copy !req
345. I was an unfit arbiter in this instance.
Copy !req
346. Oh.
Copy !req
347. One other thing...
Copy !req
348. What is it?
Copy !req
349. Here.
Copy !req
350. Make me another, please.
Copy !req
351. Very well.
Copy !req
352. Mm-hmm, I see.
Copy !req
353. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
354. Look, I get it, all right?
Copy !req
355. The term is only for three months.
