Tell me, Freecell!
Did I really...
Was it my fault your mom died?
I just don't get it.
What did I do?
What happened?
I wanna know the truth!
You're brutal, Kaito.
You try to remember, but you can't.
I want to forget, but I can't.
And yet you want me to tell you?
You have an obligation to
remember the truth on your own.
Isn't that right, Kaito?
I look forward to our game.
Dammit!

The Truth Behind the Smile
There's no way Kaito can do puzzles right now.
True, thanks to Ana, we've pulled up from rock bottom.
But we're a long way from a definitive solution.
I, Ana, think Kaito can't see the truth in the darkness,
so he can't move.
Yeah...
Why did I even come along?
I can't do anything.
Not yet, huh?
No word from Upperclassman Jikukawa.
If we can prove my supposition,
we may be able to save Kaito.
Even using all the POG's systems,
it takes so long to analyze all this data.
No need for me to get involved, is there?
Mr. Principal!
When did you...
You think for yourself,
choose the appropriate action based on the situation...
You've grown.
Gammon and Cubik as well.
In other words, the situation we face is...
quite severe.
Change the format of the game?
Yes.
The remaining two battles,
in other words, Doubt vs. Gammon
and Freecell vs. Kaito, will be a single game,
a two-on-two, tag-team battle.
Tag-team battle?
What's the meaning of this, Whi?
It's "Whist," Miss Mela.
ME-LAN-CHO-LY!
My apologies for the wait.
How wonderful!
I can't accept this.
Changing the format of our sacred battle
just before the fact...
For what reason?
Where's the harm?
I don't care.
I can play with Kaito.
That doesn't change.
Freecell!
My apologies.
Klondike is apparently most pleased with this change.
Klondike is?!
Then it can't be helped.
Rather...
If it is Klondike's wish, then by all means.
What?
You did?
That's right.
It was me who made the
request for the last game to be a tag-team battle.
Why would you do that?
Me and Kaito, we can get two wins at once.
Do that and we're 3-2, and we win.
Got a problem with that, Kaito?
Kaito, where are you going?
To wash my face.
If we're gonna do this...
We will win!
Kaito...
This will be tough in his state.
That's why I went for a tag-team battle.
I'll give him as much follow-up as I can.
If he's still gonna get beat...
I'm writin' Kaito off.
Gammon!
Don't get the wrong idea.
This is for me.
When that idiot is his usual self,
that's when my genius really shines through.
I'll do it too! For Kaito!
I, Ana, will cheer him!
Me too!
Ana, let's cheer him on together.
Sounds good!
Hey! Cheer me on too!
I'll try.
Do everything you possibly can, dammit.
Like your life depends on it!
Very well, the last Rink Slider game shall now commence.
Kaito, Freecell, Gammon
and Doubt shall proceed in that order.
Choose your slider and move as you like,
backward and forward, left and right.
You will stop when you encounter a hindrance.
If you cannot move, you will pass on your turn.
When one of your team reaches the center goal, you win.
By winning, you will receive two points,
at the same time determining the overall winner.
Note that we have implemented some special rules.
If you stop at any of the rink's four panels,
when the sliders moves, a "dust hole" will appear.
It will not disappear until the player in question moves.
With this format, team play is the key.
You have to read the movements
of your partner as well as your opponent.
Can Kaito do that right now?
Now then, the last game...
Play.
Kaito, good luck!
Kaito!
Let's go!
Here I come, Kaito.
Let's play up.
Whoa, there.
Dumbass, keep your wits about ya!
When they move those sliders,
holes open up that limit their movement options.
This is a difficult puzzle.
I'm happy, Kaito...
To be able to play with you like this.
I've waited so long for you.
For so long...
I'm sure she's happy:
my mama up in Heaven.
What was that feeling just now?
Kaito!
Concentrate on the puzzle!
Quit thinkin' about other crap!
Pitiful.
I thought this would turn into a long battle, but...
Not a bad battle, is it?
With one exception, that is.
Kaito...
He doesn't have the same edge as always.
Their team play is being restricted.
Gammon is trying to give him support,
but at some point they'll close in on him.
When that happens, we lose.
If only I'd receive word...
Still nothing, Upperclassman Jikukawa?
This way!
I...
I really made his mom...
That's right.
You made her die.
Wounded and sad, she finally died.
Because you broke your promise to me.
I..I don't get it.
Why would breaking my promise make your mom...
My kind, pretty mama...
My treasure...
You stole my mama from me.
That is all the truth!
Rook!
Why? Why?
Why does Freecell...
have the same eyes as Rook?
No!
I hate that.
It makes me shudder.
That laugh...
He's laughing!
Why?
Kaito's the enemy, right?
So, how can he laugh?
You are weak of heart, Kaito Daimon.
You're not an opponent worthy of the Orpehus Order.
Don't let 'em trick ya, Kaito!
Kaito, it's your turn.
But you can't move, can you?
Well, you pass.
It's not good.
Kaito can't concentrate on the puzzle anymore.
Kaito!
That's right.
It's because you broke your promise that my mama died.
I'll have you honor your promise.
I don't get it.
Promise?
What promise?
Continue battling me through puzzles.
As long as you live, you cannot refuse me!
Wh..What the heck?
Why do you and I have to...
Because you broke your promise and killed my mama!
Kaito...
What's this "promise" he keeps going on about?!
What the hell?
Just what's he doing to Kaito?
Come on!
They still haven't analyzed the data?
There it is!
This...
No, Kaito, that will-
Giving advice is against the rules.
I...
I won't lose!
It's here, from Upperclassman Jikukawa!
Ah, Cube!
As I thought, my supposition was right!
Now's our chance!
The next time Kaito moves,
it will be three turns to the goal!
But can Kaito even see that right now?
I won't let you.
This is bad.
If Kaito doesn't block Freecell's route,
Freecell's sure to win!
Kaito!
Hey, Daimoron!
Pull it together, Kaito!
What's the matter, Kaito?
This is boring.
Play with me more.
More!
What's wrong with him?
That boy loves his mama.
But I'm sure he cares for Kaito too.
No way!
Then how can he laugh?
How can he laugh as he makes Kaito suffer?
That smile isn't real.
Exactly!
Cube!
His spirit's been broken.
Broken?
Kaito, the analysis is complete!
They're being swallowed up by the Orpheus Rings!
During Cubik's game,
he secretly recorded the Orpheus Order's
brainwaves and mental activity.
When that was analyzed by the POG's
computers, we found...
Their Orpheus Rings are normally active,
and they are being swallowed up by that immense power.
Yes.
There's no way they can stay rational in that condition!
Both their thoughts and feelings
are bound to be incredibly twisted!
There's no truth to these "facts" Freecell speaks of!
You can't believe him, Kaito!
Such pitiful words of deception.
We are Phi-Brain Children.
We are one with the Orpheus Rings,
and we control them!
That's what Rook once thought too!
But...
With his ambitions and sense of friendship twisted,
he turned against Kaito!
Those are the eyes of someone swallowed up by the Orpheus Ring.
Kaito!
Remember your promise!
You said, "I'll solve all puzzles," right?!
That's your promise to us!
Keep it!
The duel...
begins now.
Freecell...
Kaito!
Kaito...
Jeez, took you frggin' long enough!
Let's go, Gammon!
Well, it's your turn.
I pass, Kaito.
Good!
Now comes the true battle.
Kaito and Gammon are incredible!
They're working in perfect sync!
Damn, I can't pursue!
Doubt has been shut out from the puzzle!
This is the end!
Yes, they've secured the goal!
Winners: Mr. Gammon and Mr. Kaito.
Their combined record is three wins, two losses.
Victory goes to the Root Gakuen Academy team.
We did it!
He won.
Kaito won!
You guys really helped me out.
Then, take us out for dinner.
A heapin' helping of food!
You better eat it all!
Nonoha...
I kept my promise.
Yeah!
Impossible, I actually lost?!
It can't be, it just can't be!
That is Kaito Daimon's true power?
Fr..Freecell...
Beautiful...
Such beautiful play.
You're incredible, Kaito.
Kaito, let's...
Let's begin puzzle time, together.
Hurry up.
More...
Come on, hurry!
Kaito Daimon, you are the one that broke Freecell's spirit.
Come on, Kaito!
Let's do more puzzles!
Very well, Root Gauken team, if you would please leave.
Even if he was swallowed up by the Orpheus Ring,
Freecell was telling the truth.
I killed his mom.
I, Ana, think...
If that were true, you would be a bad person.
You'd have to make up for it.
Ana...
Fight and shine your light,
on the truth within the darkness.
Use that light to warm that person's heart, Kaito.
Well, these folks don't seem the type to go off quietly.
BAM!
We'll beat 'em back down anytime.
Right, Kaito?
Yeah, I'll do it.
Who's really at fault?
Freecell?
I will go all-out on a puzzle with you.
That day is sure to come.
This incident let us acquire a multitude of intriguing data.
Especially the tag-team battle of the last game.
Shall we deal with Freecell and the other losing members?
Not necessary.
They still have their uses.
Hey, you all!
This is no time to be lying around the place.
Erena said she'd take us all to her beach house!
Yahoo! Let's go to the southern islands!
That's right! Think of the southern islands, think of celebs!
Think of celebs, think of swimsuits!
I will show you everything I've got!
Next time, "Puzzle Time Won't Begin!"
Puzzle Time Won't Begin!
Sorry for the wait, everyone!
Tropical time...
Let's begin!
