Deus Ex Machina (Lord of Space-Time) An Explanation on Eighth I have received a number of questions about Eighth in the past few days. Does the ability to add diary keepers break any rules? Can the child keepers potentially become God? What happens if a child keeper's diary is destroyed? I would like to address these questions, so please come to the Room of Causality.
Deus?
"An explanation on Eighth."
"The ability to add diary keepers..."
"Child Keepers?"
6/29 15:39 [Grand Hotel, basement] Yuno shoots Kousaka with a crossbow. 6/29 15:49 [Grand Hotel, basement] Hinata kicks the key to me. 6/29 16:11 [Grand Hotel] Three diary users have broken in. 6/29 16:28 [Grand Hotel] Three diary users find me.

What happens if a child keeper's diary is destroyed? I would like to address these questions, so please come to the Room of Causality.
What on earth is going on...?
The girl with the sharp thorn in her flesh
I meet you at your story
Behind the hatred there lies a murderous love
Do you kill your friends, if you can fulfill your wish?
if you can fulfill your wish?
Do you kill your friends, if you can fulfill your wish?
Can you die for someone?
They are synonymous words
Life is a game. It's a survival. That's right! How do you start?
Time and Space. It's a crossroad through a gate! Where do you go?
You seek eternal breath
Why do you need to live?
We don't know when this world came into being
We are the timeleaper
Nothing's gonna change with you in the world
Everything will be decided by the rules
Oh, we are traveling the past and the future through love
Break out! Let's dial back all the pains and we will be born again
I wanna see the stars with you
Over the miracle
It's not a DEAD END
Dual Cell Phones
Umesato Middle School, gym
What's going on?
So what did that god tell you?
Oh, well...
Kousaka,
can you give me your diary for a second?
Sure.
Careful now.
That's my Super Diary.
It's the same as those Future Diaries.
If it breaks, I'm dead—
Wait, Yukiteru!
I-I'm dead!
My chest!
As I thought,
You were right, Akise.
Eighth's diary is probably the server.
You can stop now.
What does this mean?
It may appear as though Eighth is adding new diary users,
but, in reality, there is still only one Future Diary,
the server housing those rental blogs.
The child diaries are simply terminals.
Communicating
Thus, nothing happened when your phone was destroyed.
That doesn't make destroying it okay!
Now I can't see my future glory!
If we'd left it intact, the enemy could eavesdrop on us.
But you could've let me back everything up first!
Sorry about that.
7/5 16:52 [Home] Some people who may have child diaries have charged into my house. 7/5 17:03 [Home, kitchen] I'm captured by the people who might have child diaries.
Oh, here they come.
In three days,
the enemy is coming to my house!
They can no longer track us.
This means they'll have to make a move.
What should I do?
I can't rely on Yuno any more.
Yukki...
Why?
Screw that.
I decided not to rely on her any more!
But...
how am I supposed to fight alone?
The question is
how we fend off the enemy.
For now, we can ask Nishijima to assign some guards.
But we need to find somewhere to hide Yukiteru.
I heard that Kousaka has a big house.
What?
All right, then it's settled.
What are you talking about?
Is that okay, Yukiteru?
You're all...
...going to help me?
I never said anything about helping you—
Think of it this way:
Do you expect that we'll help you?
Hey!
No cheating.
If you want to know how we feel,
you should tell us how you feel first.
What do you want us to do?
U-Uh...
I want you to help me.
Then we'll try not to disappoint you.
I've asked the police
to guard you for the next three days.
Use the radio if anything happens.
O-Okay. Got it.
We'll devise a plan to fight the three child diary users at Kousaka's house.
That leaves Gasai.
Her diary tells her
everything that's happening to you.
But you can't see anything about Gasai.
As long as that handicap exists,
there's a chance that she'll do something unexpected.
Unexpected?
It's possible that she could turn against you.
Yuno...
will become my enemy?
Who's there?
I'm home, Yuki.
Mom?
The last time I had dinner with Mom
was when Yuno showed up uninvited.
Say...
Hmm? What is it?
Aren't you going to ask why the police wanted
Yuno and me?
What am I saying?
Well...
Your mother
doesn't know how to be sensitive about these things,
so if you don't want to talk, I won't ask.
You can tell me what happened when you want to.
That's how Mom always is.
But...
Promise that, one day,
you'll tell me everything.
Yeah.
Uh,
Mom?
Didn't you make
too much potato salad?
I guess.
This is too much for three.
For three?
Yuno already left.
Left?
Yes, after she made dinner.
She wanted you to have plenty of food and rest.
I did invite her to stay for dinner...
Three Days Later
Then, I'll explain the plan.
We'll hide Yukiteru at Kousaka's house,
and we'll have police stand guard outside.
The police can't do anything against people who know the future.
Yes, it'll be difficult,
but I have an idea.
Hey.
We're almost there.
Oh, yes.
What?
Impressive.
Can I just drive in?
Yeah.
This is Kousaka's home?
You're rich?
Shut up! I inherited all of this.
For this plan to work, we'll need lots of room.
We'll draw the enemy to these grounds.
And once they're here,
we'll use that.
A cell tower?
Guess what happens when we shut that down.
I get it!
Then they won't be able to receive entries from Eighth's server!
Exactly.
We'll take away their ability to predict the future.
This plan only works against child diary users.
I set everything up so we can remotely control the cell tower from here.
7/5 17:02 [Kousaka Home] Some people who may have child diaries have charged into the house. 7/5 17:06 [Kousaka Home, entrance] The people who may have child diaries are fighting Nishijima.
In three minutes,
the child diary users will arrive.
Squad A to HQ.
The three targets are inside.
They're here!
Okay, Yukiteru.
Wait until they're close enough.
Well? Can you see them?
No,
but it's still early.
If you add the distance from the entrance into consideration, we'll need them closer.
What?
The power went out?
Yukiteru, flip the switch!
Hey, Yukiteru!
I still have three bars!
It didn't work.
The remote stopped working because the power went out.
Did they know our plan?
That's impossible...
We were the only ones who knew the plan.
No one else knew.
There is someone else...
Why, Yuno?
Ah, Yukki!
I found you, Yukki!
I'm here to save you.
Yukki!
Yukki's looking at me! Yukki's looking at me!
Why is Yuno here?
Yukki's looking at me!
Is she going to kidnap me again?
Yukki, look at me!
I'll protect you!
Come on up, Gasai.
Yukiteru wants you here.
Akise?
Yukki!
Kousaka and I will head to the cell tower and shut it off.
Sorry, Yukiteru, but I need you to keep her from interfering.
You must be joking.
We're running out of time.
Let's go, Kousaka.
Okay.
7/5 17:29 [Kousaka Home, hallway] Hinata and Mao have been wounded by knives thrown by the enemy pair. 7/5 17:34 [Kousaka Home, top floor ] My cell phone is off. Akise must have disabled the tower. 7/5 17:35 [Kousaka Home, top floor] The enemy pair turned and ran away. 7/5 17:41 [Kousaka Home, hallway] The enemy pair met up with a third person and escaped in their car. 7/5 17:53 [Kousaka Home, yard] We take the injured Hinata and Mao to the hospital.
It'll take Akise thirty minutes to disable the cell tower.
We'll just have to keep running in the meantime.
Hey, Yukki...
Why did you tie me up?
Because...
being around you scares me.
Hey, hey...
Yukki, why did you tie me up?
Nishijima!
Ouch...
Oh, there he is.
Mar, look.
The boy up there is Yukiteru.
Oh.
He looks weak, Ai.
I wouldn't say that.
Enemies?
He's just slender.
They're already here?
Wait.
After picking a fight with the police,
you think you're getting away?
Cross
counter!
That felt good!
I love riding the razor-thin edge between hope and despair!
You're too obsessed with counters.
Scared, First?
I'll help you out by showing you my diary.
Here it is!
Cop (messy hair) Swung for my head from the right. I waited for the perfect moment to cross-counter! Knocked out the cop.
My diary tells me when to cross-counter for a flawless victory!
The Undefeated Champion Diary!
This is my Future Diary!
Same Time [Orphanage, Mother's House]
Okay.
So Mar and Ai are inside.
Then, keep an eye on things for me, Ta.
Got it, Matron.
Anyway, we need to run!
We'll lose them, Ai.
That won't be a problem, Mar.
I can find them with this,
the Flirting Diary.
My diary tells me who I'll flirt with in the future.
Yukiteru is pretty cute.
Found him.
They're already here?
I'll delay them!
Oh, you're so aggressive,
but I'm not interested in girls!
Hinata! Mao!
Yukki! Climb up!
What are you doing, Yuno?
Hinata and Mao are still down there!
Doesn't matter.
As long as the two of us are safe.
Anyway, you need to untie me.
Yukki...
Look at me.
No.
Why not?
You could be killed.
Untie me.
Are you going to lock me up again?
You show your love by imprisoning me,
so I can't untie you.
You're wrong!
I was just—
Yukki! Untie me now!
Okay, end of the line.
It's over.
They'll kill me.
Yukiteru, can you hear me?
Yukiteru?
Akise!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I'll disable the cell tower now.
Connection Error
What?
They cut the connection.
7/5 17:29 [Kousaka Home, hallway] Hinata and Mao have been wounded by knives thrown by the enemy pair. 7/517:34 [Kousaka Home, top floor] My cell phone is off. Akise must have disabled the tower. 7/5 17:35 [Kousaka Home, top floor] The enemy pair turned and ran away. 7/5 17:41 [Kousaka Home, hallway] The enemy pair met up with a third person and escaped in their car. 7/5 17:53 [Kousaka Home, yard] We take the injured Hinata and Mao to the hospital.
Good!
Akise succeeded.
I have my diary
and a weapon.
This is our chance to chase them off!
Man, they had to ruin it.
My hair's a mess, after all that running around.
And my makeup's starting to come off.
No point in carrying these if they're useless.
Let's ditch 'em.
And then,
we'll use different diaries.
What...
are those?
Fooled them.
Your plan was to neutralize our diaries,
but we knew that would happen!
Which is why we were able to
slip right in, just as planned!
Let me introduce myself.
I'm Seventh,
Ikusaba Marco!
I am also Seventh, Mikami Ai.
And these are our diaries!
The Exchange Diaries!
They're real diary users!
Yukki, please! Untie me!
I won't lock you up again!
I...
I truly love you!
Please believe me!
Is it really okay
to untie Yuno?
But,
I don't know what their Future Diaries can do
And she has knives.
I'm worried about Hinata and Mao.
Do whatever...
it takes to survive.
Thank you.
That's why I love you.
Okay, we'll take you on, Gasai Yuno.
Hey, First.
Do you believe in the power of love?
My Future Diary is a diary of love
16:40 Ai is trying to climb the fence. I'm worried that she might fall. 16:50 Ai has cops on her tail. Guess I'll have to save her. 17:00 Ai got inside the house. 17:19 Ai found First. Way to go, Ai.
that monitors everything Ai does, so I can protect her.
My Future Diary is a diary of love
16:40 Mar is trying to climb the fence. I'm worried that he might fall. 16:50 Mar saved me from the cops. 17:00 Mar got inside the house. 17:10 Mar praised me. 17:20 Mar broke down the door to the room where First was hiding. He can be crazy.
that monitors everything Marco does, so I can protect him.
In other words, you can combine our Exchange Diaries
to create the Lovey-Dovey Diary!
So what?
Don't you get it?
This is a battle between two couples!
A contest to see whose love will win!
Think you can beat us?
I won't let you kill Yukki.
A-Amazing, Yuno.
How about two at once?
Yukki praised me!
Huh?
No way...
He praised me! He praised me! He praised me!
Yukki praised me!
That's great, Yuno! Keep it up!
Mar,
I'm out of knives...
Wh-What?
Yukki praised me!
Not good...
Eh, in that case,
last resort!
Retreat!
Hinata and Mao are gone!
Wh-What are you trying to do?
If we'd stayed inside,
Ta would have incinerated us.
It's time.
If our plan failed, he was to burn us all to the ground.
Let's go, Ai.
Where are you going?
To settle this fight.
Their love is too weak!
7/5 17:38 [Kousaka Home, top floor] Hinata and Mao were taken by Seventh. There's a trail of blood down the hallway. 7/5 17:44 [Kousaka Home, yard] Hinata and Mao are lying on the ground.
They're in danger.
I have to save them from Seventh!
But...
Is this really okay?
Can I really rely on Yuno?
It's okay, Yukki.
Go ahead and use me.
You should be saying:
"Help me save them,
and I'll pretend to be your boyfriend again."
Yeah...
I can just pretend.
I don't have a choice right now.
Fine.
Here we go!
Let's test your love!
Yuno!
Ai!
If I kill you, Yukki will come back to me!
You monster!
17:40 Ai jumped into the flames. The fool's too reckless. 17:50 Ai was cut by Second. Screw the fire. I'm the only one who can protect her!
What happened?
Yuno!
Why didn't you help your own woman?
If a girl's in trouble,
a man should jump through fire!
Even if you don't love her!
Yuno told me
that I should rely on her.
You're rotten to the core.
It's not my fault!
I know this is wrong.
I know it is...
But...
I'm...
too weak.
Die.
The Next Day [Sakurami Hospital]
Our plan failed.
Yukiteru and Gasai's
diaries were taken.
Gasai hasn't woken up.
Hinata and Mao were badly injured.
We lost this round.
But it's a good thing the firefighters arrived so quickly.
Otherwise, you two might have suffocated.
Come, it's time to examine your head.
Well, what were you up against?
Was it a man or a woman?
What kind of diary did they use?
U-Uh...
Spit it all out.
Tell the great Minene everything!
Ninth...
How much more will I have to lose
before I can atone for being alive?
Ah... I cannot understand
your... tears from afar
Everything is a piece of the puzzle
that makes up the future
In my withering body I can feel our bond
and once more I move to protect you
