Unabara: Congratulations on getting into Tokiwadai, Kamino Subaru-san.
Text: What does Tokiwadai's chairman have to tell Kamino directly?
Unabara: And welcome to Academy City.

Unabara: We've had trouble tracking down the Pleiades Sisters...
Unabara: but you were an exception.
Unabara: Because both your parents were researching Synthesize Grid from the beginning.

02

Unabara: You are the oldest of the 7 sisters, after all.

Kamino: 7 sisters?

Unabara: Student Council President, Valedictorian, Majesty -- it doesn't matter which.

Unabara: You girls must compete for some top spot at Tokiwadai.
Unabara: And whoever stands out the most will be chosen by Synthesize Grid's True Body.

Kamino: I have sisters...at Tokiwadai?
Unabara: Yes.
Unabara: Or that's the plan.
Unabara: Some will drop out, though.

Unabara: In unfortunate accidents.

Kamino: Sisters...

03

Kamino: What a nuisance.
SFX: Scatter

SFX: Chatter chatter
Girls: What kind of power is that?
Girls: I heard the scientists are are still debating that.
Girls: I heard they called in some private outside instructors.
Girls: My! And she's only a 1st year.

Girl: She's incredible...

Kamino: You want help learning about your powers?
Kamino: I don't mind...

Kamino: But I won't go easy on you just because...
Kamino: you're upperclassmen.

04

Girl: I won't deny that I was feeling rushed with the underclassmen catching up fast.

Girl: But she had this mysterious allure.
Girl: I wanted to bet on Kamino-san...
Girl: more than the Level 5s at the top.

Girl: By spring of her 2nd year...
Girl: the Kamino Clique had grown.

Girl: But we couldn't beat Shokuhou-san.
Girl: In esper power.
Girl: Or in popularity.

Girl: She was impatient...

Girl: You're being too strict!
Girl: Be more gentle.

Kamino: Spoiling them does not lead to glory.
Kamino: Isn't that right?

05

Kamino: I'm not doing this because I want to be liked.

Kamino: I'm fine being hated.
Kamino: All that matters is that the True Body chooses me.
Kamino: What a nuisance.

Kamino: Ahh!? Wait...the school building!
SFX: Crumble crumble crumble

Kamino: How much trouble can that Shokuhou Misaki cause!?
Kamino: I didn't realize she was like this!

Kamino: Don't cause me so much trouble. It's not like you're my sister.
Kamino: Ugh, what a pain.

Kamino: This is why I hate looking after people.

Kamino: Hee hee hee

06

Sakubou: You idiot! Your hand...why would you take it this far!?

Sakubou: I started this fight...
Sakubou: so abandon me and get out of here!!

Sakubou: Don't make me an awful upperclassman...
Sakubou: who drags her underclassman into this!!

Kamino: You really are a handful for an upperclassman.
Kamino(small): Honestly
Sakubou: Huh!?

Kamino: But I love people like that.
Kamino: This time...
Kamino: I'm making sure I say so.

Kamino: Hee hee. I can't even fool myself.
Kamino: For a habitual liar...

07

Kamino: I'm terrible at it.

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Tink

Kamino: That's a secret trump card that will turn this all around.
Kamino: Pay careful attention...
Kamino: or it will trip you up.

08

PG: An obvious bluff.
SFX: Fwoh

Kamino: Yes, I'm only buying time.
Kamino: I'm out of lies.
Kamino: I have nothing.

Kamino: Hikari...

SFX: Spin

SFX: Crackle

SFX: Crack crack crack

SFX: Scatter scatter

09

SFX: Step
Misaki: I just about didn't make it.
Misaki: You were barely hanging on there.
Misaki: But.

Misaki: Now you can rest easy...
Misaki: and let the true star take over☆

10

Kamino: You sure took your time...
Misaki: I'm here, aren't I? You should thank me.

SFX: Rub

PG: What the hell are you doing?

11

Misaki: When you see a schoolmate close to death, stopping it is the normal reaction.
Misaki: Were you not aware of that?

PG: I find it baffling.

PG: You're wasting your time.
Misaki: Huh?
PG: If you were going to stop it now...
PG: why not control everyone with Mental Out from the beginning?

PG: Mh...
SFX: Ooze

12

PG: You have the power.
SFX: Rub
PG: It's you playing around with being student council president and having the largest clique...
PG: that leaves Tokiwadai with unending conflict, isn't it?

Misaki: Don't be silly.
Misaki: That's not true at all.

PG: It is.
PG: The ambitious can never set down their weapons and cooperate.
PG: Unless one with absolute power wields that power.
SFX: Scatter

PG: Do you know how many of this city's king's enemies...
PG: I destroyed to bring peace and order to Academy City?

Misaki: Aleister's?

13

Misaki: What do you mean?
Misaki: How are you two connected?

PG: I was once...
PG: a "monster".

PG: Ordinary people feared...
PG: and detested me.
PG: I was neither human nor beast.
PG: I was something else.

PG: They all kept their distance...
PG: so I was always alone.

PG: But he was different.

14

PG: Only Aleister...
PG: treated me as human.

PG: For the first time since I came to the city...
PG: I became human.

PG: He was my 2nd parent.

PG: So when a scientist, esper, or an influential person got in his way...
PG: I would bury them.

PG: Of course I did.
PG: A child owes that to their parent.

PG: A child must repay their parent.

15

PG: You failed that test.
PG: You aren't needed.

PG: Begone with you.

Misaki: Long ago...I had a friend.

Misaki: She was a guinea pig...
Misaki: and she was treated horribly.
Misaki: In the end, she wasted away and died, unneeded.

Misaki: I've always wished she had a parent.

16

Misaki: I thought that parent...
Misaki: would have saved her from that horrific place...
Misaki: apologized to her...
Misaki: and let her know she was loved.

Misaki: But I was naive.
Misaki: I was wrong.
Misaki: Now I understand.

Misaki: If she had a parent of as low character ability as you...
Misaki: she would have suffered even more.

Misaki: No matter how unfortunate a life you've lived...
Misaki: it doesn't give you the right to rule over your child's life.

17

Misaki: A child is not their parent's toy.
Misaki: Are you kidding me?

Misaki: Save these juvenile lectures...
Misaki: for your favorite doll...
Misaki: and keep them in your own head, you toxic parent☆

PG: If you want to shut my mouth...
PG: try doing it by force instead of with words,
SFX: Crack crack crack
PG: Mental Out.

Misaki: If you have the solid violence for it.

18

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Smash

Sakubou: Huhh!?

SFX: Dash

Misaki: Did you think you...
Misaki: had me physically outmatched?

19

SFX: Kapow

Misaki: Time for the senile to retire, PREVIOUS GENERATION-san❤

SFX: Badump
Text: A battle awakening for Shokuhou!?
