Kokuchou: Oh, but I'm clumsy.
Kokuchou: So maybe I should smash one of your legs first.
SFX: Hover

SFX: Snap snap snap
SFX: Twist

Kokuchou: What do you think?❤

02

SFX: Squeeze

Sakubou: What if I said I don't care?

Kokuchou: Huhnya?

Sakubou: Cause I know a sadist like you would hate that.
Sakubou: I won't beg or scream for you.

Kokuchou: So you're choosing a meaningless death?

Sakubou: The thing is...

03

Sakubou: I know I don't fit in at Tokiwadai.

Sakubou: I'd always wanted to go here.
Sakubou: So every night I stayed up late studying...
Sakubou: and practiced the interview so many times my mom yelled at me.

Sakubou: I was so happy my first day I cried.
Sakubou: I still remember it.

Sakubou: It was a dream come true...
Sakubou: but it also felt so restrictive.

Sakubou: Thanks to you and that bitch...
Sakubou: I finally know why that is.

Sakubou: But...
Sakubou(flashback): I'm sick of a younger girl looking down on me!
Girl(flashback): But we promised to support her together!

04

Girl: Look at her working at that lost cause.
Girl: I never did like her.
Girl: She acts like having a few more people makes them better or something.

SFX: Step
Girl(small): Yeah
Girl: This is what she deserves.

Paper: Vote Kamino Clique for President!
       Campaign Promises

Sakubou: Kill me and you're out of the election.
Sakubou: No one will defend you and you'll even be arrested.

Sakubou: I can't change what's already happened...
Sakubou: but I can drag you down to hell along with me.

05

Sakubou: Make no mistake.
Sakubou: This isn't some lame crap about doing it for the others.
Sakubou: I don't have the right.

Sakubou: But if it does help them in the end...
Sakubou: fine by me!

Sakubou: I will end you with my death!
Sakubou: I'm ready, so do your worst!
Sakubou: Bring it on, Kokuchou!!

06

Kokuchou: And if I obliterate every last trace of your body, so you're only considered missing?

Kokuchou: So naive.
SFX: Raise
Kokuchou: You view the world through faulty assumptions.

Kokuchou: I guess a sheltered thing like you wouldn't understand.
Kokuchou: WE are the last abyss you will ever see.
SFX: Grind grind grind
Kokuchou: We are this city's darkness.

07

Kokuchou: Enough. Bye-bye.
SFX: Roar

Sakubou: ...Mama...

08

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Crash

Kokuchou: She disappeared?

Kokuchou: Was it that Judgment twintails girl?

SFX: Appear

Sakubou: Ah...

09

Sakubou: Kamino!?

Kokuchou: Oh?

Kamino: Disappointed?
Sakubou: Eh?

Kamino: You hate me, don't you?
Kamino: Sakubou-san.

SFX: Bleh

10

Sakubou: What are you doing here?
Kamino: Someone illegitimately accessed my account.
Kamino(small): It triggered a warning.
Sakubou: O-oh, really?

Kamino: I had a good guess who it was.
Kamino: So I borrowed a dowsing esper from Iori-san.

Iori: It pains me to help you...
Iori: but I'm not letting Miss Fake Innocence...
Iori: get away with whatever she's up to!

Iori: I'm not taking your side! It's just against my beliefs to refuse someone in need of help!
Iori(small): Don't get the wrong idea.
Kamino: Yes, yes

Kamino: Kokuchou-san, I...
Kamino: challenge you to the Pride Left.
Sakubou: Eh!?

Kamino: The loser withdraws from the election.
Kamino: Do you accept?

11

Kokuchou: Ehh?
Kokuchou: What do I gain from this duel?

Kamino: My secret origin.

Kamino: I will reveal it to you...
Kamino: if you win.

Kokuchou: Yours?

Kokuchou: Not the True Body's?

Kamino: Mine.

Kokuchou: Why would I-

12

PG: Very well. We accept.

Kokuchou: Previous Generation!?
Kokuchou(small): Hold on!
PG: Forgive me, Kokuchou.
PG: I had a feeling...

PG: we were missing some crucial data relating to the True Body.
PG: Something to overturn all our assumptions.
PG: If you are the key, then this works out perfectly.

PG: But do not complain if I end up taking your life.
SFX: Zwah

Sakubou: That was fast!
Sakubou: Got a weapon? A plan!?
Kamino: Nope.
Sakubou: What!?

Sakubou: Idiot!! Look how deadly she is!
Sakubou: The clique's screwed if our leader dies!
Kamino: Calm down.

13

Kamino: That just means I have to win.

Kokuchou: Ha ha!!
SFX: Zwah zwah zwah zwah zwah

Kamino: Sakubou-san, get as far away as you can.
SFX: Step
Sakubou: God, really!?

14

SFX: Bwoh

SFX: Chk

15

SFX: Bwoh bwoh bwoh

SFX: Bwoosh

Kokuchou: Annihilation? No, I recognize this distinctive fluctuation of the air.

Kokuchou: She's using 11th dimensional calculations based in superstring theory.
Kokuchou: Is she a teleporter?
Kokuchou: That would explain how she managed to get in here.

16

SFX: Babam

Kokuchou: Hm

SFX: Scatter

PG: Are the coordinates based on your vision?
SFX: Freeze freeze freeze

SFX: Bwoosh

17

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Chk

SFX: Bam

SFX: Bam

PG: Not bad at all.
PG: Ha ha!
SFX: Zww

Kokuchou: Finally things are getting interesting!!
SFX: Zwaaaaahh

Sakubou: That's huge!?

19-20

Kamino: Kh...
SFX: Slump

Kamino: I'm so bad at teleporting myself.
Kamino: My inner ear is just too weak!

PG: Only a novice lets her own power hold such power over her.

PG: Curse your own inadequacy as you die!
SFX: Boom boom boom boom

SFX: Waft...

Sakubou: No, it can't be...
Sakubou: Kamino...

21

Kamino: Well, this is embarrassing.

Kamino: Your criticism is warranted...
Kamino: but I did not challenge you so rashly.

Kamino: You see, I am a liar.
Kamino: I have kept a secret from everyone.

Kamino: From Shokuhou-san. From Yuiitsu-sensei.
Kamino: From Director Unabara. From Tokiwadai.

Kamino: Even from Academy City.

22

Kamino: No one is aware of my true power.
Text: What secret is Kamino so dramatically alluding to!?
