1. One...
Copy !req
2. Arbiters cannot quit making judgments,
Copy !req
3. for that is the reason why they exist.
Copy !req
4. Two...
Copy !req
5. Arbiters cannot experience death,
Copy !req
6. for that would bring them
too close to being human.
Copy !req
7. Three...
Copy !req
8. Arbiters cannot feel emotions,
Copy !req
9. for they are dummies.
Copy !req
10. Shake up your wishful-thinking fantasies,
Copy !req
11. stir up your reality,
and let your individuality shine
Copy !req
12. That's one more down
from your armful of problems
Copy !req
13. From top to tail, it's our life's entertainment
Copy !req
14. The future that's unfurled isn't dead yet
Copy !req
15. Kick off from the ground and soar even higher
Copy !req
16. Everybody put your hands up
Copy !req
17. Now we're flyin', be your own wings
Copy !req
18. I'd like to see you get carried away
Copy !req
19. We're still growing, off into a new world
Copy !req
20. Everybody put your hands up
Copy !req
21. Now we're flyin', keep that imagery
Copy !req
22. I'm sure you can be who you want to be
Copy !req
23. Find yourself, you're the one,
up on the big stage
Copy !req
24. (Flyin') There among all your
(Flyin') forgotten memories,
Copy !req
25. listen to the pounding of your heart once again
Copy !req
26. That same dream again.
Copy !req
27. Not being able to judge someone?
Copy !req
28. Yeah, that's right. Ever happened?
Copy !req
29. No.
Copy !req
30. Never.
Copy !req
31. What?
Copy !req
32. Never mind. It's nothing.
Copy !req
33. Huh? All the other books are about alcohol.
Copy !req
34. What's this?
Copy !req
35. "But then, the girl reached down
her hand from the top of the hole."
Copy !req
36. "When Jimmy saw her cute smile,
he soon forgot all about the pain."
Copy !req
37. My, what an awful face.
Copy !req
38. Yeah, thanks to you.
Copy !req
39. "Alcohol Poison"
Copy !req
40. I'm... dead.
Copy !req
41. Good morning.
Copy !req
42. I will have our meal ready soon.
Copy !req
43. Whose...
Copy !req
44. is this?
Copy !req
45. Well, I do not know.
Copy !req
46. Listen...
Copy !req
47. I...
Copy !req
48. It's nothing.
Copy !req
49. I see.
Copy !req
50. It is possible that Quin left it here.
Copy !req
51. Huh? Who's that?
Copy !req
52. Quindecim's former arbiter.
Copy !req
53. Former?
Copy !req
54. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Copy !req
55. Please...
Copy !req
56. Thanks.
Copy !req
57. Where to today?
Copy !req
58. Quindecim.
Copy !req
59. Okay!
Copy !req
60. Starting tomorrow, you'll be Decim.
Copy !req
61. As you wish.
Copy !req
62. 15th floor, huh?
Copy !req
63. Pretty low.
Copy !req
64. I told you, depth has nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
65. But you're on the 90th floor, right?
Copy !req
66. Well of course I am.
Copy !req
67. I'm in charge of this tower, after all.
Copy !req
68. What are you laughing at?
Copy !req
69. Ginti, you're on the 20th floor, right?
Copy !req
70. That's not much different, is it?
Copy !req
71. Shut up! You shut your mouth!
Copy !req
72. Let me introduce you. This is Quin.
Copy !req
73. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
74. Which one of them will be Decim?
Copy !req
75. This one.
Copy !req
76. You like alcohol?
Copy !req
77. That's my liquor. I'm letting you have all of it.
Copy !req
78. I'm finally done being an arbiter! What a relief!
Copy !req
79. I'm not at all cut out for this.
Copy !req
80. I've ended up being sent
to the information bureau,
Copy !req
81. but they provide all the alcohol there,
so feel free to use it!
Copy !req
82. Oh, and another thing...
Copy !req
83. What is the deal with her?
Copy !req
84. She just likes to gab.
Copy !req
85. Don't let it bother you.
Copy !req
86. Here you go.
Copy !req
87. Here comes the fun!
Copy !req
88. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
89. Starting tomorrow, you two will be arbiters.
Copy !req
90. This is your final exam.
Copy !req
91. Those are set up so that the
balls miss when you press them,
Copy !req
92. so create an extreme condition.
Copy !req
93. Yeah.
Copy !req
94. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
95. All right, off you go.
Copy !req
96. Ready, and... cheers!
Copy !req
97. Wow! That's stunning! Who would
have imagined you had this skill?
Copy !req
98. You're ready to take on my liquor
and stand behind that counter!
Copy !req
99. Good!
Copy !req
100. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
101. He's an incredibly suitable arbiter
to take over here, isn't he?
Copy !req
102. In your view, I'm sure.
Copy !req
103. Another!
Copy !req
104. As you wish.
Copy !req
105. So, why didn't you press it?
Copy !req
106. Press what?
Copy !req
107. I am terribly sorry. I forgot to.
Copy !req
108. Huh?
Copy !req
109. I found myself being distracted during the game
Copy !req
110. by what the two of them were thinking.
Copy !req
111. What are you talking about?
Humans are all idiots!
Copy !req
112. It doesn't matter what they're thinking.
Copy !req
113. We create extreme conditions and
get to enjoy how foolish they act.
Copy !req
114. I do not think they are foolish.
Copy !req
115. Huh?
Copy !req
116. I have respect for people
who live fulfilled lives.
Copy !req
117. What is with this one?
Copy !req
118. You idiot.
Copy !req
119. This is why I say you're—
Copy !req
120. Be quiet for a minute.
Copy !req
121. So then, could you tell
what they were thinking?
Copy !req
122. No, ma'am, I could not.
Copy !req
123. Well, I would think not. You lack experience.
Copy !req
124. That's why I told you to
create an extreme condition.
Copy !req
125. Doing so clearly brings out the darkness
Copy !req
126. being carried within a person's soul,
making it easy to judge them.
Copy !req
127. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
128. The darkness of the soul takes on
many forms, such as fear of death
Copy !req
129. and the craving for life.
Copy !req
130. Whether you take that to be foolish
Copy !req
131. or respect it is all up to you.
Copy !req
132. I think it's best for there to be
more than just one way to judge.
Copy !req
133. All right, then as your senior arbiter,
Copy !req
134. as well as someone on their way to
the information bureau, some advice—
Copy !req
135. Find something you treasure;
it doesn't matter what.
Copy !req
136. Yes, ma'am. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
137. Oh, yeah? Something you treasure, huh?
Copy !req
138. Yes.
Copy !req
139. Do you have something?
Copy !req
140. Would you like to see?
Copy !req
141. What do you think?
Copy !req
142. Eh?
Copy !req
143. This is what he treasures?
How am I supposed to respond to this?
Copy !req
144. I have to say something...
Copy !req
145. So, um... do you enjoy this?
Copy !req
146. Excuse me?
Copy !req
147. I mean, this is your hobby, right?
Copy !req
148. Hobby?
Copy !req
149. You mean it's not?
Copy !req
150. Do you mean what Miss
Nona said? No, it is not.
Copy !req
151. But it is something you treasure, right?
Copy !req
152. Yes.
Copy !req
153. Would you like to see a little more?
Copy !req
154. Ready, and... cheers.
Copy !req
155. You're hard up, aren't you?
Copy !req
156. Because of you, right?
Copy !req
157. How so?
Copy !req
158. Nona, you said that I was more
suited to the information bureau,
Copy !req
159. which is why I let Decim take over.
Copy !req
160. But I didn't know that the
information bureau was that busy.
Copy !req
161. Being an arbiter is still better than that.
Copy !req
162. Condensing the memories
of the dead is hard work.
Copy !req
163. I know.
Copy !req
164. What do you mean, "I know"?
You've never done it.
Copy !req
165. I think people are dying too fast.
Copy !req
166. Right now, the pace is 7,000 per hour, right?
Copy !req
167. That's 116 per minute,
or two per second, you know.
Copy !req
168. The pace is like, "Okay, you're dead!
Okay, you're dead!" after all.
Copy !req
169. And we do a half-hearted job as a result.
Copy !req
170. I know.
Copy !req
171. "I know" is the only thing
you've been saying, isn't it?
Copy !req
172. So, what's the situation?
Copy !req
173. Not too great.
Copy !req
174. He is still new at it.
Copy !req
175. He doesn't even have any doubts
about judging yet, does he?
Copy !req
176. The look on your face says I'm right.
Copy !req
177. I'm sure he could be a
fascinating arbiter someday,
Copy !req
178. but it's just too much to hope for.
Copy !req
179. I mean, implanting human
emotions inside an arbiter...
Copy !req
180. "Three...
Copy !req
181. Arbiters cannot feel emotions,
for they are dummies."
Copy !req
182. Make sure old flower-head
doesn't find out, okay?
Copy !req
183. It's all right.
Copy !req
184. Every day, we get many guests here, right?
Copy !req
185. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
186. As such, our minds are filled
with the memories of our guests.
Copy !req
187. Sometimes, that also poses an obstacle for us,
Copy !req
188. so arbiters are set up to
periodically forget guest memories.
Copy !req
189. After judgment, the guests' bodies
return to being dummies.
Copy !req
190. Typically, they are disposed of,
but instead, I claim them.
Copy !req
191. Disposed of?
Copy !req
192. People who have lived a full life...
Copy !req
193. I do not like that they end up
as though they never were.
Copy !req
194. Huh? Then you mean...
Copy !req
195. Yes. All of them are dear guests
who previously came here.
Copy !req
196. I have made dummies of them,
so that they are not forgotten.
Copy !req
197. It's an awful pastime, isn't it?
Copy !req
198. No, it's not, is it?
Copy !req
199. Say...
Copy !req
200. I can make it for once.
Copy !req
201. But...
Copy !req
202. It's okay. Here, switch with me.
Copy !req
203. You've gotta be kidding me!
Copy !req
204. Everything you're doing
interferes with my judgments!
Copy !req
205. What do you mean, interferes?
Copy !req
206. It's because of you that everything's
been turned upside-down!
Copy !req
207. What do you mean?
It was like this from the get-go.
Copy !req
208. What?
Copy !req
209. Games where you risk your life
are crazy in any case.
Copy !req
210. Because humans are idiots, right?
Copy !req
211. It's not that; people generally
look out for number one.
Copy !req
212. Then, what's your story?
Copy !req
213. What do you mean?
I don't know what you're getting at.
Copy !req
214. Why do none of you guys
ever understand yourselves?
Copy !req
215. You want me to drop you into the void?
Copy !req
216. Huh? What was a void, again?
Copy !req
217. What are you cozying up to her for, you jerk?
Copy !req
218. Being with you makes my head ache.
Copy !req
219. Ah! Hey, you! Watch your hands!
Copy !req
220. Ee-yow! Hey!
Copy !req
221. —What are you doing?
Who do you think I am?
Copy !req
222. —If only she weren't here...
Copy !req
223. Living world alcohol really is nice and rich, huh?
Copy !req
224. Say, Nona, why do you devote
so much attention to Decim?
Copy !req
225. Good question.
Copy !req
226. I think it's best for there to be
more than just one way to judge.
Copy !req
227. But lots of people die each day,
and we have to judge them.
Copy !req
228. All of us, working mechanically,
without any skepticism.
Copy !req
229. Then we forget all about
the people we've judged.
Copy !req
230. Because if we didn't, we couldn't
go on being arbiters.
Copy !req
231. We are dummies. We never live...
and we never die.
Copy !req
232. This despite being built to look just like them.
Copy !req
233. Don't you think it's strange that we,
Copy !req
234. who have never even died,
end up judging the dead?
Copy !req
235. Besides which, I'd like to see an
arbiter who has human emotions...
Copy !req
236. and their judgments.
Copy !req
237. Go ahead.
Copy !req
238. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
239. Hey, tell me some stories about the guests.
Copy !req
240. What kind of people have come through?
Copy !req
241. Like, say, the woman playing the piano.
You remember her, right?
Copy !req
242. No.
Copy !req
243. Huh?
Copy !req
244. What is forgotten is forgotten.
Copy !req
245. Then, it is a hobby.
Copy !req
246. No feedback, like maybe, "it's good"?
Copy !req
247. I am terribly sorry. It is good.
Copy !req
248. Come on. Can't you say it
like you're enjoying it?
Copy !req
249. I beg your pardon. It is terribly delicious.
Copy !req
250. Good morning.
Copy !req
251. You even look cute in your sleep.
Quin, on the other hand...
Copy !req
252. I've told you not to come
in here without asking!
Copy !req
253. And don't get so close, either.
Copy !req
254. You haven't been spending any time
at all with me lately, have you?
Copy !req
255. It pains me.
Copy !req
256. I'm busy. Ask someone else.
Copy !req
257. It doesn't look that way at all to me. Unless...
Copy !req
258. you're hiding something...?
Copy !req
259. Buzz off. Go away.
Copy !req
260. Boo-hoo.
Copy !req
261. Oh...?
Copy !req
262. What book is this? Chavvot?
Copy !req
263. Oh, that?
Copy !req
264. It's from the living world, isn't it?
Copy !req
265. I liked it, so I sent for it.
Copy !req
266. Hmm...?
Copy !req
267. Please come by once in a while.
It's no fair not giving me a rematch.
Copy !req
268. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
269. Maybe I botched this.
Copy !req
270. I'm sorry for asking so much.
Copy !req
271. It's okay. You're always
bringing me goodies, after all.
Copy !req
272. Oh, that one will do.
Copy !req
273. No, they're both marked.
Copy !req
274. I'll retag them.
Copy !req
275. I said they'll do.
Copy !req
276. To send to your boy, right?
Copy !req
277. I can't. They have to be
sent to a special arbiter.
Copy !req
278. I'll bring you even better goodies next time!
Copy !req
279. All right.
Copy !req
280. Nona, are you feeling pressured?
Copy !req
281. Mm-mm. There was never much
time to begin with, that's all.
Copy !req
282. "Death Rally"
Copy !req
283. Episode 8: "Death Rally."
Copy !req
