Last night, someone sent me the access password.
When I used that to access Headquarters' computer....
They're secret files, about us.
What's this?!
The brutal... and comical truth.
Lost
Tesaguri de sagashiteta I've searched, groping
Tozasareta mirai no kotae nante doko nimo nai The answer to a future that's been closed off
Tozasareta mirai no kotae nante doko nimo nai Is nowhere to be found
Hashiru shoudou, ima kaidoku funou The impulse to run, it's impossible to decipher now
Found
Kudaketa hazu no unmei o A fate that was supposedly smashed
Mijuku na yume no naka de kikoeta kitanda I've come to hear it within that half-formed dream:
Saigo made I'll be there for you Until the end, I'll be there for you
Tachidomaranai, kono hari dake wa It won't stop, not this needle
Boku no asu o kizamu oto o tsukisasu It will pierce the sound that engraves my tomorrow
Shinjitsu kara nigetara ima If I run from the truth, then now...
Genjitsu ni mo maketara ima If I lose to reality, then now...
Nani ga nokoru no? What will remain?
(Nokoru no?) (Will remain?)
Kazoekirenai kono kizu dake ga These countless wounds of mine
Boku no kinou o zanzou to shite kataru They tell of my yesterday as an afterimage
Unmei ga hodoketemo ima Even if fate were unraveled, now...
Sonzai o kowashitemo ima Even if my existence were smashed, now...
Boku no michi o yuku yo I will travel my path
It's now or never
That is what they say
Live your life today, yeah, yeah
There will always be, there will always be a way
That is what they say
Live your life today, yeah, yeah
There will always be, there will always be a way
That is what they say
Live your life today, yeah, yeah
The Sad Clown
Kaito!
You solved it? The Puzzle of Fools?
Erena, tell me about a harder Puzzle of Fools.
This one's got nothin' to it at all!
W-Well, fine.
Ain't you goin' at kinda a high pace?
Pushin' too hard could cost you your life.
I can't go takin' things slow.
Freecell's made his Replica Ring a real one!
If I wanna play a game with him, I've gotta get stronger.
Kaito...
I don't like this data.
Each time he solves a Puzzle of Fools,
the pattern matches when he almost became a Phi-Brain.
Kaito... Just where are you trying to go?
What was that?
Are you serious, Doubt?!
Yeah.
I will challenge Kaito Daimon to the final game.
But why now?
This whole time, we've been treated like playthings!
We've been made to believe lies.
If it is Klondike's will...
Mizerka, what will you do?
I...
Melancholy. You're back?
I was so worried.
Mizerka!
Wait. I want to try talking to Melancholy.
I won't mention anything about the Rings.
Melan... choly?
Oh, dear. Sister, you're SO interesting.
Wh-What's so funny, Melancholy?
Say, Sister,
your friend Eve was a test subject, wasn't she?
How do you know that?
She didn't know her Ring was a replica,
but she was used, and
tossed away when no longer useful.
Poor girl.
I'm not going.
Don't think I'm like YOU, Sister.
What's with that tone?
Look, just come with us!
Do you hear me, Melancholy?
Who do you think you are?
You're just a test subject!
You really flaunt it, don't you?
Your role as big sister.
I've never once thought you my sister.
It was a game.
You're such a meddlesome busybody
that I played your little game, that's all.
M-Melancholy...
Goodbye, O "Sister" of the Replica Ring.
Where's Melancholy?
I... I just want someone to need me.
"Come with me."
If someone told me that, I'd go.
Let's go.
Yes.
It seems your talk has concluded.
Whist!
Where have you been all this time?
Even knowing the truth,
your resolve to offer yourselves up to the Orpheus Order
has made Mr. Klondike tremendously happy.
Mr. Doubt. If you so wish,
I could provide you with an upgraded Ring.
What was that?!
Enormous power.
As Mr. Freecell and Mr. Pinochle were given.
Oh, my. This is...
What an unusual guest.
I think this is strange.
Solving Puzzles of Fools for Freecell's sake...
I told you, didn't I?
Freecell has come close to being a Phi-Brain.
This is so I can battle him.
So you'll become a Phi-Brain, too?
The very Phi-Brain that you rejected?
No! That ain't it.
But I, Ana, think...
Puzzles of Fools are puzzles for training Phi-Brains.
It turns people to Phi-Brains.
Yeah, but still...
Anyway, I gotta get stronger.
Then WE shall be your opponents.
The Orpheus Order!
Doubt! The hell are you doin' here?
Kaito Daimon.
Fight us.
What'd you say?
Cut the crap!
If you all lost,
weren't you supposed to never bother us again?
Now you're breakin' your promise, bastard?!
I'm sorry.
Such action runs counter to chivalry, and I am ashamed.
Kaito!
Their Rings aren't real.
They're replicas!
That's right.
Our Orpheus Rings are replicas for the sake of gathering data.
We were never Phi-Brain children...
Merely test subjects.
We learned this yesterday, having seen some
secret Orpheus Order files.
To you, we must look like sad, pathetic clowns.
However, my loyalty is unwavering.
If I may be the foundation of Lord Klondike's grand scheme,
then I gladly offer myself up.
Dude, why?
Klondike deceived you. So, why?!
Sure enough, they've both been swallowed up by the Rings.
What's this?
There's a disturbance in Mizerka's thoughts.
What is this noise?
After we've collected a certain percentage of data,
the Replica Rings will be completed to make Final Rings.
We will collect our data for that purpose
and present it to Lord Klondike.
And my opponent to that end is YOU.
Fight, Kaito Daimon!
Fight us in a game for your life!
Gimme a break!
Why would I do a game like that?
Or fight you guys NOW?
Why not do the courtesy of accepting?
They've swallowed their pride and confessed everything.
Gammon, please make the puzzle.
Old dude!
I'd planned on it without you tellin' me.
I'll make a puzzle that'll be their graves!
Gammon!
Antoinette, help me.
F-Fine.
Hey! What the heck?
We will borrow POG Japan's premises.
The puzzle shall be there.
My thanks.
Come on, you guys!
Are all you guys idiots?!
May I help you?
Eve... My sister. She needs you.
No. I am no longer needed.
I will not lose.
Kaito... Ana...
A good puzzle.
Truly the work of the man I acknowledged, Gammon Sakanoue.
This'll be a coffin for you pricks.
This whole steel frame will fall and you'll croak.
Will you not fight?
Nah. I don't wanna die.
Kaito. Ana. Crush 'em with everything you've got!
Otherwise, you guys'll die!
I know.
Sure thing!
Can I save them?
They've been swallowed by the
Rings, are still loyal to the Orpheus Order...
Let's do this thing!
Puzzle time... let's begin!
Here we go!
Here I, Ana, go!
Sure enough, this is a fearsome puzzle.
Players can only move along one steel bar.
However, they can't move to a bar another player is on.
They can stay on a bar for just one turn.
Staying for two turns isn't allowed.
Players can drop three bars at a time.
They can drop only a full line of bars.
They can't drop a row of bars another player is on.
Of course, bars that separate from
the puzzle frame will collapse and fall.
Also, whoever manages to drop even one other player wins.
So fast! There's no hesitation!
Those guys are good.
It's the power of their Rings.
That's not all.
They don't fear death,
and have a sense of loyalty and purpose.
Ana, I'm countin' on ya!
Certainly!
Hmm, that one?
Maybe that one. Or this one.
That one!
Just fooling.
Sure enough, it's THIS one!
A meaningless play.
As always, a disagreeable person.
Disagreeable...
Stop. That's enough.
Enough.
Eve... Forgave that person.
Why... do I hate him?
Now he's got no choice!
A good play, Mizerka.
Huh?
I stay. However...
Why do you hesitate, Kaito Daimon?
Throw everything at us and crush us.
Otherwise, we shall crush you!
You don't gotta tell me!
Kaito... He's not serious, is he?
He cannot help them unless he fights seriously.
Can I really save them?
Me?
Kaito!
I, Ana, think...
You shouldn't think at all!
Don't think, just enjoy the puzzle for all it's worth.
Ana...
You're right.
If I've gotta do it, I might as well enjoy it.
This puzzle!
I'm stayin', too. Also...
What?!
For him to notice the trap Mizerka set...
Well done, Kaito Daimon. However...
Not yet!
Jumpy-jump!
Our advantage is unwavering.
Yeah, right!
I won't let you!
Leapy-leap!
What?!
Good one, Ana.
Yay!
They've turned the tables.
Yes.
Kaito!
If I'd dropped the bar that he's on,
Kaito Daimon would have fallen.
He saw that completely, and prevented me from doing so.
Not just Kaito Daimon, but Ana Gram as well.
Incredible. Are these true Phi-Brain children?
You look like you're having fun, Doubt.
"Fun"?
Indeed. Puzzles are fun.
Mizerka, you look like you're having fun, too.
Because you told me to come, Doubt.
Since I was little, no one has ever needed me.
I hated myself for that,
and lived my life thinking I had to change.
I was happy.
I see.
Kaito Daimon!
This clinches it!
I stay.
Yahoo!
I stay.
I stay, too.
With Kaito's next move, it's all over.
So it's come to this, eh?
Excellently done, Kaito Daimon.
I have no shame losing to one such as you.
Now then. Finish this.
Hurry! Finish it!
I say no!
No. I don't want to die.
I want to keep solving puzzles!
Mizerka!
So do you, Doubt!
Isn't that right? I won't let you say I'm wrong!
That smiling face, looking so happy
as you're solving puzzles...
That's the true you!
Why?
Why can't you be as you are?!
Mizerka!
That's the mercy of a knight... No, a warrior.
The system in this area completely blocks radio waves.
The data they collected wasn't able to be sent.
Indeed.
You all! You should've said something!
Are you okay? Hang in there.
Doubt. This is the first time I've seen you smile solving a puzzle.
P-Pinochle?
You're alive?
It was a good smile.
Sure enough, you've always liked puzzles.
I was the one who sent Mizerka the password.
I'm glad. They helped you guys.
D-Doubt...
Gammon Sakanoue.
I still feel no shame.
That I used your sister.
Gammon!
Bastard!
I'm sorry.
Dude...
I, Ana, think Mizerka wanted this.
To say bye-bye to the Ring, and to be saved.
I think so, too.
The disturbance in her thoughts reflected that emotion.
Eve will probably be happy.
Melancholy. I envy you.
For that Ring you possess...
So you've come. Just as I calculated.

Klondike of the Orpheus Order...
decides to rely on a "Suzuki" from Nagano.
To improve his puzzle aptitude,
he memorizes all of the school's textbooks.
You're amazing, Suzuki!
Thank you.
So, you didn't simply study the normal way?
Next time,
"The Ruler Atop the Board"
The Ruler Atop the Board
I shall be counting on you.
