This Scissor Blade was left behind by the person who killed my father!
Now you're going to tell me
who this Scissor Blade belongs to, Kiryuin Satsuki!
So you're Matoi Ryuko?
Then you're the daughter of Matoi Isshin?
You know who my father is?!
You're bleeding too much, Ryuko.
I thought that's what you wanted.
At this rate,
you'll lose consciousness in five minutes.
How can you be so calm about it?!
We'll have to chat about it another day, Kiryuin Satsuki!
Don't let her escape! After her! After her!
Don't bother.
B-But Milady!
She'll be back. Leave her be until then.
Lady Satsuki... You're as dazzling as always.
Your tea, Miss.
A girl in a Kamui, eh?
Episode 2
So Sexy She Might Pass Out
My whole life used to be guided by others
I will shed those days and run barefoot
I might fall, I might make mistakes,
but I will brush away the pain to make way for my tomorrow
The oath my raised hands bring to the world
will be my guiding light
One day it will shine for you too
Until then,
I have no time to spend crying
My burning feelings are hidden no longer
and light the night sky
I feel like I understand why I was born now
With my own hands I will grant
all my wishes
Oh, wow! She's almost completely naked!
You pervert!
You'd dare make a move on the Kanto Vagabond, the Guitar Case Drifter?!
My scissor! My scissor's gone!
Ryuko!
Thanks! Be careful, Mako! This perv tried to—
Dad, what do you think you're doing?
"Dad?!"
Dad?!
I'm so sorry!
Wow, I really felt that one!
You've got a great punch, Miss!
Of course she does! I owe her for saving my life!
Mankanshoku Barazo
You were a total badass,
swinging that scissor around half-naked!
Nobody in their right mind could fight dressed like that!
Mankanshoku Mataro
Bite me! It's complicated, all right?
That hurt, damn it!
I was the one who carried you here!
If smacking Mataro or my husband makes you feel better,
feel free to go nuts!
Mankanshoku Sukuyo
Back-Alley Doctor
Mankanshoku
How did I—
My dad treated you!
You'd never guess it, but he's a back-alley doctor.
If you compare the number of people he's killed
to those he's saved, he's totally killed more!
That's a bad thing.
Don't worry about it.
The dead ones can't sue.
Oh, right!
I know it's nothing fancy, but eat all you want!
Go ahead, Ryuko! Don't be shy!
It's unidentifiable stuff made into croquettes
and more unidentifiable stuff in some miso soup!
Oh, c'mon! I only use non-poisonous ingredients.
Better dig in before I eat it all!
Down, Guts!
Your food is out there!
Guts
We call him Guts 'cause he eats with gusto.
You were anemic, little lady, so eat up!
Don't just sit there, eat!
The masses are fools, by and large.
They're pigs in human clothed, domesticated by the establishment.
They must be governed. By Kiryuin Satsuki and Honnouji Academy alike.
We will be the ones who pave the road to humanity's future.
The Goku Uniforms are weapons to reach such a goal.
The uniforms that this country makes its students wear
are based on military uniforms.
The raised collars on boys' uniforms comes from the army.
Girls' sailor uniforms are just that—naval uniforms.
This country is one which made its children wear military uniforms to be educated.
Therefore, we at Honnouji Academy
will treat them as combat uniforms.
They should be symbols of our control over the pigs in human clothes.
Being in the Sewing Club, you are the
chosen elite of our Human Conquest and Liberation Project.
I expect great things.
Thank you for your kind words.
Tennis Club Captain Hakodate Omiko,
Third Year Class D, reporting as ordered.
How are preparations for the Hokkaido interleague match coming along?
Milady. Our club members are devoting all their time to training.
Those hillbillies from the north will learn the might of Hannouji Academy and Lady Kiryuin Satsuki
down to the very fiber of their being.
This is armed suppression in the guise of an interleague match.
If the Tennis Club is successful, our control of northern Japan will be complete.
Don't fail us.
I understand.
This is a Tennis-spec, Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Goku Uniform.
A gift from Lady Satsuki.
At last, a Two-Star Goku Uniform of my very own!
Thank you, Milady!
Carry out your mission.
Without fail, Milady!
The entire Tennis Club will pull together and redouble its efforts and train even harder for the interleague match!
Why do you not wear a Goku Uniform, Miss?
This sword is more than sufficient for me.
Perhaps no uniform is worthy of you.
Hey, are you awake?
What the hell are you, Senketsu?
Quit your quibbling!
All right, I'll make you wear me by force!
Wh-What kind of perverted outfit is this?!
This is me.
Don't be so matter-of-fact about it!
Get off me! Come off, damn it!
Whatever, just get away from me,
you perverted sailor uniform!
Where'd that power come from?
This power is yours and mine.
I drank your blood and awakened.
Whenever you put me on, whenever I'm worn by you,
that power will be manifested.
What are you?
I don't know.
You don't know?
You were just able to explain how it worked!
I'm able to explain phenomena that are occurring right now.
However, there is much that I don't know.
My memory... Yes, in your language, you might say that there are gaps in my memory.
Don't you remember anything?
I do know that the man who created me
had a beard, an eye patch, and wore a white lab coat.
He hunched over, wore sandals, had a cane in one hand, and had a pet mouse.
That could be only one man—my father!
Father?
Yeah, Matoi Isshin. He's my father.
I'm Ryuko.
My father made you?
But if I have you, I might be able to beat them!
You're coming with me for a while, Senketsu.
Senketsu?
It's a hassle if I don't have anything to call you.
If it was drinking my blood that woke you up,
your name is going to be Senketsu, for "fresh blood."
Fresh Blood
Just you wait, Kiryuin Satsuki!
Ryuko! Wake up!
We have to hurry up and eat breakfast!
If I'm late for school again, I'll be expelled!
There's a pretty distinct gap between the rich and poor.
Well, it's a city ruled by Lady Satsuki.
One-Star
Top-tier students get put into the exclusive residential area.
Two-Star
Three-Star
Lower-tier students like us live in the slums.
Student Council President
Your position at school even determines where you live?
Yep! Pretty straightforward, eh?
Honnouji Academy
Oh, that reminds me.
Ryuko, my mom said that if you need a place to—
Mom said that—if you don't have a place to stay—
You could stay—with us!
She's already filed the paperwork!
Is this any time to be talking about that?!
What's the big idea?!
Ah, you're the transfer student who was rude to Lady Satsuki, as I recall.
Stay out of this.
I'm the Girls' Tennis Club Captain, Hakodate Omiko.
Girls' Tennis Club Captain Hakodate Omiko
Club member Mankanshoku Mako has failed to fulfill her club obligations.
She is being purged as a result.
What did Mako do wrong?
She skipped yesterday's club practice.
Our rule is that anyone who fails to come to practice will suffer the 110 Million Cannonball Serve.
An outsider has no right to complain about internal club policies.
Yesterday? Mako was being held hostage yesterday!
Of course she didn't come to your stupid practice!
And it just so happens that she was taken hostage without getting permission first.
Begin.
Cut that out, damn it!
Go on ahead, Mako!
You'll be expelled if you're late, right?
Yeah!
Thanks a bunch! I'll see you later, 'kay?
Yup!
So, does that mean you want to take us on?
I owe her for a meal and a night's lodging.
How amusing.
Don't get too full of yourself just because you defeated Fukuroda from the the Boxing Club.
I'm gonna make quick work of those Goku Uniforms of yours!
Let's do it, Senketsu!
Hey! Hey, let's get to it, Senketsu!
Hey, what's wrong with you?!
She's talking to her own clothes... How thoroughly disappointing.
Are you kidding me?!
Wake up, damn it! Hey! What's your problem?!
Die!
Screw you! There's a reason—
What, a love game? What a joke...
Oh, dear...
You awake, Ryuko?
Wait, aren't you a teacher?
That's right.
I'm your homeroom teacher, Mikisugi Aikuro.
Mikisugi Aikuro
Talk about your crazy extracurricular lessons...
Hang on, you didn't undress me, did you?!
Yes, I thought I might teach you a few things about your body.
You perverted son of a bitch!
Wait, what?! My body won't move!
Calm down.
What did you do?!
Anesthetic acupuncture.
You seem a little hot-blooded at the moment,
so I'm going to draw a little.
No, don't! I hate needles!
Allow me to tell you why your Kamui didn't activate earlier.
More! Feed me more!
Feed me more blood!
Now you're awake, Senketsu?
Ryuko?
Dumbass, why didn't you wake up when I needed you?!
Now, now, calm down.
You understand now, right?
Understand what?
This Kamui is awakened by your blood.
Kamui, Kamui... What does that mean?
You mean the sailor uniform?
That's right.
It's a uniform created by your father,
Matoi Isshin, and its power surpasses that of the Goku Uniforms.
Only someone who can master wearing this
can fight against Kiryuin Satsuki.
Who the hell are you?
Prove to me that you're someone deserving of an answer.
Excuse me?
The first order of business is Tennis Club Captain Hakodate Omiko.
If you can't master this Kamui and defeat her,
you don't stand a chance against Kiryuin Satsuki.
Better get a move on, afternoon classes are starting.
Use this Seki Tekko from now on.
It'll be easier for you to provide the suit with blood.
Seki Tekko
Fine. I'll pound that tennis club president into the dirt, and then you're gonna tell me everything I wanna know.
Looking good, Hakodate.
Thank you. It is all thanks to this
Tennis-spec Goku Uniform I received from Lady Satsuki.
The Tennis Club will subjugate Hokkaido without fail.
What's that about?
We have an unmotivated club member, so we are purging her.
Just a minute, guys!
Ryuko!
The transfer student...
You've come for another beating?
As if!
This time, I'm gonna knock you all on your asses!
Let's do it, Senketsu!
That looks both painful and embarrassing, you masochistic exhibitionist!
Screw off! I'm not an exhibitionist!
Quit splitting hairs.
Let's begin! 110 Million Serve!
Fault! You're disqualified, transfer student!
What?!
Sure, you evaded Hakodate's attack,
but slicing the ball in half is against the rules in a match.
In other words, you've won the fight but lost the match!
Listen up! What you're standing on is a tennis court!
Which means that you can't say you've won
if you didn't win according to the rules of tennis!
What?! You're getting all picky now?!
What about yesterday?!
That was then and this is now!
This is crazy! When we were boxing, we—
It doesn't matter, you're disqualified!
No, she won!
Ryuko won! She won!
What?
Ryuko rescued me!
She may have lost the match, but she won with friendship!
If you win at friendship then you win at life!
Listen...
If you're gonna be like that then she has no choice!
Ryuko will win.
Even in tennis! Even in tennis! Even in tennis, she'll win!
So, you're saying that you want to face me,
Tennis Club Captain Hakodate Omiko, in a tennis match?
Here! Do your best, Ryuko!
All right, all right...
Let's do this!
Special rules!
The match is one game! Decide who serves first!
I'm watching, Ryuko!
She's a rookie. I'll let her decide.
I'll take you up on that and go ahead and serve, then!
I won't hold back!
Weak!
She's fast!
Ryuko, that was awesome!
Love-fifteen!
Not bad.
I'm just getting warmed up.
You're only now beginning to learn the might
of the Tennis-spec, Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Goku Uniform I received from Lady Satsuki!
Interesting!
That won't work this time!
Nice!
Love-thirty!
I had a feeling you might try that.
I put a special spin on it just for you.
Ryuko, you naughty girl!
Okay, I'll put my own special touch on this one!
Here we go!
Fault!
Oh, come on!
Double fault!
Love-forty!
Ryuko, this is your last shot!
What's the matter, transfer student?
Hurry up and serve!
Ryuko, use the Scissor Blade!
Only the Scissor Blade can withstand our strength!
Scissor Blade
Got it!
Mako! My scissor!
Catch!
Right, then...
This'll work!
You can't be serious!
Faul—
I'll allow it.
Come now, Hakodate.
Show her the power of your Two-Star.
Yes, Milady!
As you wish!
Kiryuin Satsuki, always watching from above, issuing orders to your lackeys, same as always.
It's creepy.
You're going to show me
just how much of that Kamui's power you can tap into.
Bitch...
Who told you this thing was called a Kamui?
Not so fast. Your opponent is over there.
I'm going to use you as exercise to loosen up for the Hokkaido series!
Show me what you got, then!
On the court, you can only count on yourself!
Nobody gets it!
Fiber Lost
Fiber Lost!
You did it, Ryuko!
Oh, dear. Looks like the match can't continue.
Don't get too full of yourself, bitch.
Wait, Sanageyama.
She's is the victor of the match.
Lady Satsuki!
So, are you going to tell me?
Are you the Scissor Blade Woman?
What?!
If you wish to know the answer,
ask the question again with your skill!
Ryuko, if you're going to fight, you only have two minutes.
Otherwise, you're going to pass out again.
That's because you drank too much blood!
Secret Sword Bakuzan
Secret Sword Bakuzan.
This blade can cut even a Kamui.
Its edge is even more sharp than that scissor's.
The pressure's incredible... What amazing energy...
Mark my words!
Next time, I'll finish this once and for all!
Let's go, Mako!
'Kay!
Forgive me, Milady.
I underestimated the transfer student.
Remove Hakodate's Two-Star rank.
As for Hokkaido, set up an interleague match with the Sumo Club.
As expected, a Kamui is most formidable.
To think it could turn away my blade...
I will remember this day, Matoi Ryuko.
I leave before the school bell rings
The adults around me look to the firmament with grey eyes
Talking about inconsequential things
without ever falling quiet,
they descend the slope
I have no plans
I have no goals
Right now, all warnings
are falling on deaf ears for me
I just want to do my own thing for now
Sorry I'm not cut out to be some perfect honor student
Two buttons on my shirt are open
as I walk through the back alleys
Nothing tempts me in this world
Tonight I've told you my secret,
and you're the only one who knows
