01x07 - Pass Down

[bunniefuu]

Narita's father asked his friend

to hit you on purpose.

THE DRIVER WAS DAD'S FRIEND

SANEATSU NARITA MEDICAL RECORDS

It's highly possible that your dad

forced you to acquire a Privilege.

SANEATSU NARITA IS THE TRUMP CARD

Saneatsu Narita holds the key.

STORY BY TAIGA MIYAKAWA

Dad was working at the detention camp?

The driver who hit me was Dad's friend?

Mom died just because she was with me?

I play a vital role in the Majority Vote?

I can't be with you guys anymore.

Stop joking around.

I'm not joking.

I've been working with all of you in order

to survive and take down the Emperor.

But I've come to find out,

that I played a vital role.

I put everyone at unnecessary risk.

I don't deserve to be with you all.

Are you seriously saying that?

You guys will be fine without me.

You have Saaya, after all.

But you are our leader.

What are you talking about?

Saaya, you're the leader

I

have always been alone,

because I was afraid of

getting involved with others. But

Saneatsu, you called me your friend.

I'm able to talk to everyone normally now,

all thanks to you, Saneatsu.

Omi

I

I am here, because you are here.

You're the most important person

to me in the world.

Ryuta

Me too!

You relied on me, even though

I'm nothing but a burden on everyone.

Kazuhiko

Kazuhiko was the one who

got me fired up

when I was about to give up.

But Kazuhiko is the way he is

because of you. Isn't that right?

I always run away from everything.

But I'm still here

because you showed me the way.

You know,

I've dedicated my life to Omi,

since he saved me.

But I trust in you as well,

since Ishiki believed in you.

Narita.

I was too fixated on surviving,

and I lost control of myself.

I was so shortsighted,

but thanks to you and Sudo

This man saved my life.

And you helped him come to his senses.

Ryohei Sudo put his trust in you.

So I'll risk my life for you too.

I wish I could do more.

Saneatsu.

When we were overwhelmed and only thinking

about how to survive the Majority Vote,

you opened our eyes to the prospect

of fighting the Emperor.

And on that day,

we promised to defeat the Emperor.

That promise and resolve

gives me strength.

Your words are what

move us to take action.

We are here thanks to you.

Saneatsu, you brought us together

and you are what keeps us together.

So

don't say that you're going to leave us.

You are part of us, Saneatsu.

Everyone

-Thank

-Pow!

What? Why?

If you have the time to be crying,

think of a plan to meet Ren Iruga!

Hurry! Right now! Come on!

Ryuta really can't stand it

when things get emotional, huh?

Ren Iruga?

Do you know him, Soma?

From the detention camp

Ren Iruga is from the detention camp.

His Privilege is the Division Right.

I remember now!

Supposedly, someone had obtained

the most powerful special right.

And Ren Iruga was

rumored to be that person's best friend.

I've never heard that rumor.

Well, only a few people were

secretly talking about it.

Plus, the researchers found out

and the rumor died down.

The person with the Command Right

was Iruga's best friend?

First of all, how could they tell

which Privilege was the most powerful,

without knowing all of the special rights?

You'd be able to tell

if you knew what was in all the envelopes.

That's true.

We can speculate that

the researcher who cooperated with Dad

used their special right

to see through the envelopes

and spread that rumor.

For everybody else,

it was impossible to read

all the envelopes and verify the rumor.

But they couldn't have ignored the rumor

in case it was true.

That's where Ren Iruga

came into the picture.

He was the only clue connected to

the rumor about the Command Right.

So the detention camp had no choice

but to keep their eyes

on Ren Iruga and deal with him

with the utmost care

in order not to provoke him.

It seems to me that

said researcher planned all of this.

Yes, and that researcher

is most likely Mido.

This is so confusing. I can't keep up!

Just tell me the conclusion later.

Let's change our plan.

We will lure out either Iruga or Mido.

Preferably, Mido.

If our guess is correct, Mido's Privilege

is something like a Right of Inheritance.

Even if it turns into a physical fight,

we have Ryuta and Soma on our side.

If Iruga ends up coming,

or they both come together,

we'll talk it out peacefully.

If we can't, we'll have to retreat.

I agree.

That guy's Privilege

is powerful, after all.

How will we lure them out?

We'll need Gobo's help.

Tonight, we'll use Gobo's Display Right

to call out to them.

My power, which was considered taboo

within the Black Institution, eh?

"Gobo"?

"Institution"?

Is he from the detention camp too?

Very well. As I thought.

-When you need

-That's right! It's tonight!

Hey!

That was my chance

to say something cool! For real.

What's wrong, Professor?

Tonight's announcement will narrow down

the Emperor's whereabouts.

The Emperor only chooses areas

within the 23 wards.

He declared that in the beginning.

Sudo claims that the areas are chosen

according to two rules.

Depending on which area is chosen tonight,

we can narrow it down

to one or two places.

What? Is that true?

Take a look at this.

It's a map of the 23 wards.

SUGINAMI, NAKANO, NERIMA

If you mark all the areas that

we've gone to up until now

It looks like this.

They're all connected?

That's right. Based on the path

that we've already mapped out,

Sudo speculates that

we are moving clockwise,

in a spiral pattern.

But some wards neighbor

more than one ward.

That's right. Suginami is connected

to Nerima and Nakano.

Kita Ward

is connected to Adachi and Arakawa.

Edogawa is connected to Sumida and Koto.

Ota is connected to Meguro and Setagaya.

Shinjuku is connected to

Toshima and Bunkyo.

And Bunkyo is connected to

Arakawa and Taito.

They're either on the inner side

or outer side of the spiral.

Exactly.

If we're following the inner side of

the spiral, the next area will be Arakawa.

If it's the outer side, it'll be Adachi.

We'll find out the rule

depending on the ward.

If Adachi is chosen, we'll be moving

along the outside of the spiral.

But that leaves us with

two irregular wards.

The Nakano Ward, which we already passed,

but is in the inner side of the spiral.

And Meguro Ward, which the spiral path

will bypass completely.

Now, if Arakawa Ward is chosen

Just as we went from Suginami

to Nakano and then to Nerima,

if we interchange between

the inner side and outer side

every time we have to

choose between two wards

We'll be able to pass through

all the wards.

And the final destination

will be Chiyoda Ward.

That never occurred to me.

But how do we know the Emperor is there?

Because he's searching for whoever has

the trump card that can defeat him.

Anyone who tracks down

the researcher from the detention camp

will find out about Narita's accident.

That's how the Emperor found out

that the trump card was on the loose.

And now he is trying to

get in contact with

Narita in order to get rid of

the trump card.

That is what Sudo deduced.

So the Emperor started at Suginami Ward

and is making us move

just to draw me closer to him?

That's right.

He probably thought that

only the person holding

the trump card would realize

why it started in Suginami Ward.

I'm sure very few people realize that

the Emperor, the Majority Vote,

and special rights

are all connected.

But why is he using

such a roundabout method?

Didn't the owner of the Command Right die?

Doesn't that mean the Emperor

collected the Privilege already?

Why won't he use his Command Right

to command you to come see him?

I see. That means

It's possible that the owner of

the Command Right is still alive.

Alive?

It's just a possibility.

But if they're alive,

they can take down the Emperor.

And even if they're on the Emperor's side,

why aren't they using it?

That's true.

Everything that has happened up until now

shows that the Majority Vote

is the only way the Emperor can k*ll us.

Can he not use the Command Right

for some reason?

I guess the quickest way

to find out is

to ask either Iruga or Mido.

So, what do you want to display?

It's almost time to take a vote.

Although,

there will be nothing to vote on.

Yeah.

I have something that

might be worth considering

before writing the message.

The fact that we still have electricity,

water, and a broadcasting signal.

These three things

might be necessary for the Emperor.

A broadcasting signal

is needed to take the Majority Vote.

Water goes without saying.

But why electricity?

He can still broadcast

the Majority Vote without it.

And I'm sure his life

doesn't depend on it either.

Can it be for his security system?

I see.

The Emperor himself

must be in a safe place.

In that case,

if we cut off his electricity, that might

leave him vulnerable for a moment.

I already did research on that.

Currently, most of Tokyo's electricity

is supplied by both

the Shinagawa Thermal Power Station

and Oi Thermal Power Station.

Even if he has his own supply of power,

if we shut down both power stations

in a surprise attack,

his electricity will stop temporarily,

and his security will cease

for an instant.

Tonight, if we are able to

find out where the Emperor is,

we'll be able to develop

a more detailed plan.

Attacking the power stations

and causing a blackout

to get to the Emperor

Now I know what message to write.

Kanagawa is surprisingly far,

isn't it, Teppei-chan?

It is now time.

There will be no vote today.

Well, well

I guess someone wanted to be the good guy.

TO ALL THE SURVIVORS:

WE ARE THE RESISTANCE

WE'RE RECRUITING COMRADES

TO DEFEAT THE EMPEROR

Interesting "The Resistance," huh?

What a fun little event.

Noon tomorrow, huh? Too bad I can't go.

TOMORROW AT 12 P.M.

WE'LL BE WAITING AT THE WARD OFFICE

This must mean they're

getting pretty close.

I will announce

tomorrow's designated area.

Tomorrow's designated area

ARAKAWA WARD

is Arakawa Ward.

The Emperor

is in Chiyoda Ward!

This room is so neat and clean.

How typical of that strait-laced

little Teppei-chan.

If Teppei-chan was still alive,

I wonder if I would have changed my mind?

No matter what kind of

special right it is, I'll never use it.

Using it will be the same thing

as accepting their ways!

I'll expose them for their evil deeds

without compromising my principles.

Justice always wins.

Apparently,

that's not always the case, Teppei-chan.

If this was a world

where justice always won,

I would never have labeled it as

meaningless.

Both justice and people's worth

are determined by

the majority in this world.

Everyone's biased opinions are just

creating a false image of "what is right."

Now that you're gone, Teppei-chan,

it's as clear as day.

Justice never existed from the start.

Teppei-chan's cellphone?

He always had it with him.

Does that mean, this is where he died?

But that's strange.

The fact that the Emperor

isn't using the Command Right

must mean that he hasn't

collected that Privilege yet.

And so I was a little hopeful that

Teppei-chan might still be alive.

I'm the only one who knows where he lives,

so I thought victory would be mine

as long as I was able to outwit Mido.

VOICE RECORDER, 1 RECORDING

I am Teppei Yoshii.

I am recording this message just in case

something happens to me.

It's Teppei-chan's voice.

This message is dedicated to Ren.

My best friend, Ren Iruga.

I am confident that

you will listen to this message.

Teppei-chan, you are the only one who is

stupid enough to have confidence in me.

Please search inside

the thing that I liked.

They will be numbered.

Please start with number one.

If something did happen to me

It doesn't matter anymore, right?

I see.

Now I get it, Teppei-chan.

He liked music, so

That must be it.

Divide whatever is holding

the component system together.

They will be numbered.

Please start with number one.

Dear Ren,

even if I die, as long as

letter number one is intact,

the Command Right still belongs to me.

The letters that I numbered two to five

each have simple commands written in them.

Those commands will activate one time only

upon whoever sees the command first.

How you use these envelopes is up to you.

I'll put my trust in you

and leave everything in your hands.

After all, you're my best friend.

The commands that I wrote

in letters two to five are

What were you going to do

if someone else found this?

You did all of this

when you couldn't even see?

Someone could've

abused this power, you know?

Teppei-chan, you're so strait-laced

and such a dummy at the same time.

I don't hate that about you though.

Thanks to you,

I might even change my ways.

What should I do?

Mido is out of the question.

But it's not like

I can do it myself either

We're going to defeat the Emperor

and stop this game.

How could I forget?

He is the best fit for this.

This is Teppei-chan's keepsake.

I won't let anyone have it.

I'll protect it until the day I die.

Well then, let's go and fulfill

Teppei-chan's view of justice.

ARAKAWA WARD OFFICE

Are you the ones who sent that message?

-That's right.

-What the heck! They're kids!

I'll ask just in case

You're not the Emperor, are you?

No. Why do you ask?

Then how were you able to

display that message?

By using my Right,

the Display Right.

We found a way to take down the Emperor,

so we're recruiting comrades.

A way to take him down?

Is that true?

Don't believe them so easily!

We risked our lives

to come all the way here

because it was our last bit of hope

to take down the Emperor.

But look at this!

They are nothing but kids!

That's true

We shouldn't trust them that easily.

Wait a second.

What if they're working for the Emperor?

Well?

Answer us!

All of you,

stand up straight and be quiet!

What?

-Why am I?

-I can't control my body!

The most powerful Privilege,

the Command Right.

That's my Privilege!

The Command Right?

Wha

That's my Privilege,

the Material Manipulation Right.

I could've k*lled you already

if I wanted to.

We have a strategy

and the necessary power.

All we're lacking is people.

That's why we were waiting for

heroes like you to appear.

Trust us and lend us your strength.

If you can't, you can walk away.

I'll trust you.

That's my only option for now.

If you have this much power,

I'm sure you can defeat the Emperor!

Um, do you guys have

a detailed plan already?

We are going to

assign all of you

to the most low-risk job.

Low-risk?

You won't even need

a special right to do it.

I see.

More importantly, we're in need

of an assistant adviser.

An assistant adviser?

Any candidates?

Here.

I'd love to. Actually

I must.

All right, that's settled then.

All of you can

go on up to the rooftop and wait there.

Huh?

What? What do you mean?

Don't worry.

This building is safe.

Our comrade is on the lookout

for any enemies.

This is a pretty bold move.

I'm glad I came all the way over here.

Shut up and keep walking,

Mido.

Nice to meet you.

You must be Sanetomo Narita's

son.
