Puzzles are chains...
Puzzles are mirrors.
Isn’t that right, Jin?
Oh, sweet! Let’s go, Jin!
Yeah...
This is... a puzzle?
It’s a Philosopher’s Puzzle.
Back when I was a kid, you solved it by yourself.
Really? I did that...?
I guess ya don’t remember, huh?
There’s a puzzle...
That’s weird.
You already solved this back in the day...
And there are seven balls.
When you solved it, you said there were six balls,
making for a total of 720 total combinations...
Did someone remake it?
Whatever! I’ll solve any puzzle I come across!
Please watch, Jin!
See what I can do now!
Puzzle time... Let's begin!
Raetsel...
Sorry, my bad!
It’s not like I’m bored being with you, Rook.
This is only my second day in England, so I’m still jet-lagged!
Kaito and Jin... Think they’re almost done?
Wouldn’t it be nice if Jin regained his memories?
Yeah...
Jin fought with Count Pythagoras...
and lost his heart to the Puzzle of God.
Fortunately, he has regained consciousness.
All that remains are his memories.
Jin, Kaito and I...
We traveled across this land, so even if just a little,
hopefully this will help him remember the past...
and puzzles.
If he did, I’m sure Kaito would be happy.
There are seven slots with numbers inside...
The point of the puzzle is insert the colored balls into the correct slots.
There are a total of 5,040 combinations.
The keys leading to the correct answer...
are the balls’ colors and the seven numbers.
I’ve solved it!
The seven numbers represent the number of letters
for each color in the English alphabet!
In other words, “aka” is “red,” which has three letters.
“Ao” is “blue,” which has four letters!
They go...
here and here!
What’s a Philosopher’s Puzzle without a trap?
But that crap doesn’t scare me!
I’ve got two 5-slots and three 6-slots left remaining!
The structure of the puzzle tells me where they go.
It’s a diagram portraying the three primary colors.
This is yellow!
The slots where two circles intersect
indicate a color created by mixing those primary colors!
Blue and red make purple.
It goes in this 6-slot!
Red and yellow make orange.
It goes in this 6-slot!
Blue and yellow make green. It goes here!
And in the center, mixing all the colors together, you get...
black in the 5-slot!
There's no puzzle I can't solve!
Amazing...!
You solved it so quickly...
I can’t believe I was absorbed in puzzles.
It’s cool!
I’m sure you’ll remember eventually.
And then, the three of us can solve puzzles like in the old days...
Let’s take it slow and easy, Jin.
Kaito...
Oh, yeah! Since I solved it, I might as well...
The prize.
Looks like someone remade the Philosopher’s Puzzle
and sealed the prize.
It’s a brooch.
Kaito! Jin!
Welcome back, Kaito! Jin!
Welcome back, Kaito.
Nonoha and Rook, welcome back after a long day!
We’ll be staying here again tonight, Freecell.
Sorry, Freecell!
We’ve been using the school dorms like a hotel.
I don’t mind. I was able to get permission.
So, how’s Jin?
Tomorrow...
we’ll try taking him to the puzzle where we first met him.
Say, would you two care to join us?
Really? Sounds fun.
Let’s go, Freecell.
Uh, no...
I no longer play puzzles...
That right? Okay, then.
Man, I’m starving!
Dinner is ready.
Come right this way.
Jin, they said it’s chow time!
C’mon, Jin!
Meow.
Did you say something?
Meow, meow!
I see you aren’t eating your meal.
I don’t like the food here.
This goes against our contract.
Goodness me!
Even three-star restaurants mean nothing to you.
Although I must admit, the soup was mediocre.
The soup was good!
Keeping my contract with you is more difficult than ruling a country.
The time has finally come, Raetsel.
Let us pray that each of our missions ends in success.
I’m super pissed here!
Nonoha’s spending the night with Kaito?!
Suspicious character detected.
I was a fool to go along with it when Kaito
said he needed a girl to help out!
Not quite, Iwashimizu!
Gammon may be a weirdo, but he’s not a “suspicious character.”
A weirdo.
I, Ana, think you’re worrying too much!
Rook-Rook and Jin-Jin are both with her.
But--But, Mom!
Don’t, “But, Mom!” me.
Besides, I, Ana, am a boy.
Nonoha!
Crap!
Please come back in one piece! Nonoha!
Weirdo. Weirdo.
I see things haven’t changed.
Nonoha!
Souji!
Upperclassman Jikukawa!
Guys, long time no see!
College Souji, you look cool!
You’ll come back safe and sound, won’t you?
Thank you.
Eh?!
What the hell?
In other words, when Jin Makata was a member of POG,
he would do anything to win, even changing the rules.
He was a delinquent as a Giver.
Yesterday, I was searching the POG’s digital library for a college report...
and stumbled on that file.
I don’t believe that report!
It doesn’t match the image of the guy Kaito paints at all.
I, Ana, think... it’s phooey!
Right... You’re right!
I was getting worked up over nothing.
This is where we first met you, Jin.
Yeah! We were lost in this maze and you saved us, Jin.
This is my first time coming!
Is this another Philosopher’s Puzzle?
This is a Puzzle of Fools.
Those unable to solve it lose their lives.
Their lives...?!
The trap system has been dismantled.
It’s safe now.
Let’s go.
I betrayed Kaito in this Puzzle of Fools.
I hurt Kaito, toyed with our friendship,
and pushed myself down the path of destruction.
Even though I was consumed by the Armlet of Orpheus...
Don’t let that weigh down on you forever, Rook.
You’re different now!
Yes, you’re right.
Kaito, Rook...
Didn’t you say that I’m the one who taught you how to solve puzzles?
Puzzles... Are puzzles something that we need to have in this world?
What brought that on so suddenly, Jin?
Let’s head back...
Jin!
Wait, Jin! What’s gotten into--
Stop! Jin!
Did you sense that, Rook?
Yeah.
This is...
It feels different than it did earlier.
I’m sensing serious malice coming from this puzzle!
You can sense that sorta stuff too, huh?
Fascinating!
Who’re you?!
Jin!
Wh-what are you doing?!
I’ve missed you, Jin!
You know Jin’s name...!
Raetsel...
That’s right. I’m Raetsel, Jin.
Jin remembered her name...
Do you remember everything now, Jin?
No, just her name...
Who are you?
There were a total 5,040 combinations.
Give it back.
That was mine.
Are you the one who remade the Philosopher’s Puzzle
we visited yesterday?
Thank you, Jin.
Who the heck are you?!
You!
You don’t know anything, do you? About Jin...
What Jin needs...
is me!
Hey!
Wait!
Kaito Daimon!
You’re a nuisance, punk!
It’s blinding!
She vanished!
No way! Crap, is this for real?!
Run for it, Rook! Nonoha!
W-wait for me!
Turn right, Kaito!
Rook!
Did she activate it?
Suspicious character detected. Suspicious character detected.
Who’re you?! Need somethin’?
I am Enigma.
I am the one who leads the Master Brain.
Master Brain?
They are a group of genius givers who hunt Phi-Brain children.
What is that?!
It’s a puzzle!
It’s a little present.
If you don’t solve the puzzle within the time limit, he’ll go, “Kaboom!”
No way! Hey, Gammon! Hurry and solve it!
Wh-what’s with this situation?!
Sheeit! It’s an annoying game with numbers!
What is the meaning of this?!
What are you after?!
The annihilation of all puzzlers...
in accordance with a pledge I swore to Jin Makata.
The annihilation of all puzzlers?!
That doesn’t make sense!
And why is Jin Makata’s name poppin’ up in all of this?!
“Challenge the puzzlers who endanger the world with puzzles.”
“Make them taste the ultimate humiliation
through their defeat and then destroy them.”
“Do whatever it takes to win.”
Those were Jin’s thoughts.
You can do it, Gammon! Hurry! Hurry!
Hence I’ve decided to start by eliminating the Phi-Brain children,
for you are the figureheads of all puzzlers.
“Do whatever it takes to win.
That matches what Upperclassman Jikukawa said earlier.
That’s absurd!
You don’t seem to believe me.
Then why don’t you see what has
become of your friends who are
currently with Jin?
Iwashimizu, emergency search for Kaito!
Roger!
Left, Kaito!
Which way should I go next?
His thought process is accelerating!
Kaito is currently risking his life to solve a Puzzle of Fools!
What?!
F-for real...?
We will destroy the Phi-Brain children with puzzles.
It would seem Jin Makata’s dream is becoming a reality.
That is ridiculous nonsense.
I would like you to stop telling my students
false stories that lack a shred of truth,
President Johan Sigmund Enigma.
What?!
Pre--?!
President?!
Most impressive, Baron Kaidou.
I see you keep up with your foreign politics.
But Jin Makata’s blank year.
Even you, his best friend, don’t know what that year means.
Shut up!
Principal...?
Got it! Solved!
What?! The countdown ain’t stoppin’!
You were messin’ with us!
Well, I shall be taking my leave now.
Whodunit!
The rest is in your hands.
Bastard! Get back here!
Wanted men!
You get to face me!
If you can’t solve my puzzle, just like you’re buddies, you’re...!
Nonoha, stop them! Go stop those things!
Huh?
With your brute strength, you can do it! Go for it!
Keep dreaming!
It was unpleasant, wasn’t it?
The way she talked.
What?
This maze has been tweaked so that
none of the paths will take us to the entrance.
No way! Then what’ll we do?!
This maze has another exit.
We should be able to dodge the traps and get there!
Are you sure there’s an exit, Rook?
Once, I searched this maze over so that I could ensnare you.
This way!
That’s it!
Hurry! Nonoha! Kaito!
That had me in for a scare!
You were a lifesaver, Rook!
Wh-what is that?
This room...
It’s different!
When I came last, there were only two doors.
What?!
There are a total of twelve doors, huh?
Kaito!
Let’s hurry out of here.
The exit is the door opposite of the entrance.
H-hey, wait!
The statue turned?!
Look out, Rook!
Kaito, up there!
You’ll die if you open the wrong door.
Raetsel!
Jin!
Kaito...
This is a puzzle.
Out of the 12 doors, find the one leading to the outside.
It’s a puzzle?!
If you open the wrong door, boulders will rain on you like just a second ago.
Get it wrong two more times,
and the whole ceiling goes “Kersplat!”
I won’t give any hints!
Kaito, this puzzle is...
Yeah. Without any clues, it’s super hard!
I hate slowpokes!
Hurry and solve it!
Raetsel!
Who the heck are you?!
Why are you doing this?!
Why?
I’m going to defeat you with a puzzle.
I’m using the thing Jin hated and detested above all else,
wishing that they’d fall of the face of the planet: Puzzles!
Jin?! Hates puzzles?!
Puzzles... Are puzzles something that we need to have in this world?
Jin hates puzzles...?
He detested them?
Jin, watch as Kaito Daimon loses pathetically before your very eyes.
Raetsel...
Kaito’s in a pinch?!
Which means starting next week, the protagonist will be...
I am Kaito Daimon.
You’re Iwashimizu! What’re you doing here?!
I’ll solve all of the puzzles!
Get off yer high horse! Dang, he’s blowing me off...
Next time: You Don’t Know Anything
You Don’t Know Anything
There is no puzzle I can't solve!
There is no puzzle you CAN solve!
