Let's eat!
Yum!
Your croquettes are awesome, Mom!
Yeah! When it comes to deep-frying mysterious ingredients,
you're the best in Japan, my dear!
The trick is to chop everything finely and mix them in with potatoes.
Your croquettes really are great, ma'am!
I'm glad you think so. Please, eat all you like.
Oh, I'm already full.
Thanks for dinner.
If you're done eating, Ryuko, the bath is drawn and ready for you.
Oh. Sure.
The bath?!
What is it? What's so funny?
Lively dinners are great.
My mom died when I was young,
and my dad sent me off to a boarding school.
So I've never been able to eat with a family like this.
I always thought that it was pretty ordinary.
Now I think meals taste better when eating with whole family....
However...
I don't need the damn Peeping Toms!
We're sorry!
Episode 7
A Loser I Just Can't Hate
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
That looks good!
Let's eat!
Shing!
Matoi Ryuko!
Jack Naito, president of the Knife Throwing Club, will take you down!
Knife Throwing Club President Jack Naito
You've got some serious nerve,

A Knife Throwing Club, a Nanjing Lily Club, and a Tightrope Walking club?
What's the deal with all these ultra-specific clubs?
Oh, those guys used to be with the Acrobatics Club.
They split up because of you.
Because of me?
Yep. If someone beats you,
they'll jump up to Three-Star status.
But since you can't get a Two-Star Goku Uniform unless you're a club president,
they all started new clubs and are gunning for you.
Say what?
More stars means a better life.
They're all desperate.
Man, this academy's system is seriously messed up.
Hey, hang on! If that's how it works, then...
Fight Club
What are you playing at, Matoi?
What, you blind?
I'm starting a Fight Club.
Quit trying to screw with us.
You're the ones screwing with me!
You're forcing students to start stupid clubs to go after me.
So I'm gonna do the same.
Fight Club President Matoi Ryuko
Say hello to Fight Club President Matoi Ryuko!
Fight Club President Matoi Ryuko
Do you seriously think that a club like that would be approved?
I'll approve this Fight Club of yours!
There she goes again, looking down at the peasants from her perch...
Are you trying to integrate into my system, Matoi?
Moron!
I'm gonna bring your precious system down around you!
How amusing.
Try your best not to let it get the better of you.
Just you watch...
I'm gonna make you spill the beans in no time!
Very well, let's begin the paperwork!
Fight Club
You switch gears real fast, don't ya?
Lady Satsuki has spoken. I must abide by her decision.
Matoi! I assume you'll be president of the Fight Club, then?
Yeah. And I don't need no damn Goku Uniform.
I already got my Kamui.
Understood.
Documentation
Club presidents are to submit a club activity log every Friday.
At the end of each month, expenses are settled and expense applications for the next month are filed.
You must also file a request form for a club room, submit a club member organization chart, and a family member list.
You are also required to attend Club President Council meetings,
which are held every morning at 7 AM!
Tardiness will not be tolerated!
Um, my friend here, Mankanshoku Mako, says she'll be club president!
That was so, so mean!
How could you make me president like that, Ryuko?
Everything's set up.
The focus of the Fight Club is fighting.
When I beat the other club presidents,
the club's achievements will be recognized,
and your reputation will skyrocket!
It'll also improve our living situation, right?
But I can't! Can't! Can't! Can't!
I can't be a club president!
Prepare yourself!
I'm Matoi Ryuko with the Fight Club!
Folk Dance Club President Okurahama Maimu!

What a lovely view.
We finally have a condo, honey.
It's a fine place. It even has a clinic.
Front-Alley Clinic
Mankanshoku
But what the hell is a front-alley doctor?
In this town, if Kiryuin says it's okay, it's all good!
Oh, wow! Oh, wow!
It even has a bathtub that's inside the house!
It's a fully-automatic washing machine!
There's even a dishwasher!
An air-conditioner!
And there's one in every room!
This is incredible! It even has a Washlet!
Ryuko! This is our room!
Yay! Let's hear it for being a One-Star!
I know she said your lifestyle is tied to how well your club does,
but I can't believe they actually meant it.
Let's eat!
These aren't Mystery Croquettes!
These are genuine mincemeat cutlets!
One hundred percent mincemeat cutlets, made from a ground blend
of meat that came from actual cows and pigs!
It's delicious... It's so delicious...
To think that we'd be able to live like this...
Thank you, Mako and Ryuko!
We owe it all to you two!
Oh, you don't need to thank us!
Just knowing that you guys are happy is thanks enough for me!
Yeah!
You're still gonna pull this Peeping Tom crap here?!
This is completely unrelated!
What he said!
They all have a twinkle in their eye.
This life is almost too good to be true.
Ryuko, I'm gonna work really hard to be the best
Fight Club president I can be.
I know you will. I'll leave it all to you.
I'm so glad you came, Matoi Ryuko!

Given the circumstances,
I'd like to see the Fight Club's standard of living increase!
I'm gonna protect the lifestyle that puts a twinkle in everyone's eye!
Ugh, French cuisine again?
Oh, you're going out, dear?
Yes, I have a Medical Association meeting.
Oh, I see.
Would it be all right if I bought that diamond necklace
I showed you the other day?
Sure. I like it plenty. It looks wonderful on you.
What kind of Medical Association do back-alley doctors have?
Mataro.
Damn, I almost forgot!
I was invited to a buddy's birthday party.
I'm heading out, too.
Enjoy your dinner, Ryuko.
Oh, sure.
I'm sorry, the Club Presidents' Council meeting ran late!
Huh? Where is everyone?
I guess they're all busy doing their own thing.
Oh, I see.
Okay then, Ryuko, once you're done,
head to weight training in the training room.
You have a packed schedule both tomorrow and the day after that.
Huh?
I really must say, though,
being able to live in a huge mansion like this,
finally living in the lap of luxury,
it's enough to put a twinkle in anyone's eye, isn't it?
Let's do everything we can to protect this life, okay?
Um... Sure.
I'm gonna go to bed, okay?
Sure.
All right, Ryuko!
You're going to fight every single person in this gym!
What?
Seriously?
I am Fight Club President Mankanshoku Mako!
Club member Matoi Ryuko hereby challenges all of you to a fight!
Let's have a good, clean fight!
Bring me every drop of sake you have!
I'd like all the Dom Perignon you have, please!
Good fight, Ryuko.
Let's head out to the field for the next few.
All the chocolates in the store!
I just bought them!
Thank you, Sir.
What right do you have to be here, underclassman?
Our club activity results give me the right to be.
It's the best part of Honnouji Academy.
Personal ability is everything, remember?
Are you going to let these people have their way, Lady Satsuki?
Unless something is done,
Matoi and Mankanshoku will become part of the
Student Council's inner circle.
Anyone who's defeated doesn't have the right to be.
Let me fight her again.
I'll put her down for certain this time.
Be patient.
You must have some plan in mind,
authorizing the Fight Club as you did.
Wait and watch a while longer.
Will they destroy this academy
or be assimilated into it?
We will find out soon enough.
I see you're back to eating all alone, Ryuko.
No, they wouldn't be out here...
Tell me, Ryuko.
Is this really victory?
The day when we face off against the Elite Four is here at last!
If we win this battle,
the Fight Club will stand supreme on the Student Council!
We'll have both honor and all the luxury we can stand!
You're late, Ryuko!
The final showdown is here at last!
What's this?
My letter of resignation from the club.
Huh? What are you saying?!
I'm quitting the Fight Club.
You can't!
If you quit now, we'll be sent back to the slums!
I'm okay with that.
I'm not! I'm never going back there!
What the—
Fight Club President Mankanshoku Mako!
Your Two-Star Goku Uniform is inside that wardrobe!
My uniform?
If you want to keep your current social standing
and lifestyle, fight and defeat Matoi Ryuko!
Say what?
Defeat Matoi, and I will grant you a Three-Star Goku Uniform.
Lady Satsuki...
That's playing dirty, Kiryuin!
The choice of whether to accept lies with Mankanshoku.
You bitch!
Life Fiber Synchronize, Kamui Senketsu!
Kamui Senketsu
Don't be so hasty.
I'm not the one you face today.

They're having a falling out?
That's our Lady Satsuki. She plays dirty.
Does she, though?
Ryuko!
Say your prayers!
Mako, cut it out!
I can't, not when we finally have a life of luxury!
I can't go back to being poor!
Idiot, snap out of it!
Mr. and Mrs. Mankanshoku!
Damn it!
Mako, what are you...
Stop! Mako's not in her right mind right now!
If you try to stop her, you'll put yourselves in danger, too!
Huh?
What are you standing around for?!
Hurry up and beat the crap out of her!
Yes, rush her down!
Send Ryuko straight to Hell!
You're not gonna try to stop her?!
Sorry, my dear Ryuko.
But we can't just give up the lifestyle to which we've become so accustomed.
Don't worry!
We'll make sure to enjoy our lives for you, too!
Observe, Matoi! This is human nature in its purest form!
Prosperity leads to greed,
and greed leads to their eventual downfall!
Once they have a taste of worldly pleasures, they're enslaved by them forever!
They've become slaves to this academy I have created!
They truly are pigs in human clothing!
Pigs which must be tamed by force!
What's the matter, Ryuko?
I'll be fine like this...
What's she thinking?
She's choosing friendship over her own life?
Now, finish her!
Attagirl, Mako!
Kill 'er!
It's all over!
Get her!
Wh-Why?
Why aren't you stopping me?!
If I keep this up, Ryuko's gonna die!
Dad, Mom, why aren't you trying to stop me?!
And you call yourselves parents?!
Y-You're mad at us?
When I became club president and our lives improved,
it was like we had a twinkle in our eye.
I thought our whole family was glowing.
But we weren't, were we?
It was just a nasty gleam?
Were we just being blinded by greed?
If it wasn't a twinkle, was it a dazzling glimmer of a gleam?!
We're the worst!
Dad and all you guys, too! And so am I!
I guess this is the real power of your Goku Uniform, Mako.
You never attacked me all-out.
You knew that, and that's why
you stood there and took the beating?
Mako was fighting hard, too.
Against her own desires.
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry, Ryuko!
Take that silly thing off.
Yeah!
As of today, Fight Club is disbanded!
Fight Club
Mankanshoku Mako will go back to being Starless!
Kiryuin!
Humans aren't as weak as you say they are!
People can suppress their desires through sheer willpower!
Ryuko, do it!
With pleasure!
Finishing Move: Fiber Lost!
Fiber Lost
That was nicely done.
I leave before the school bell rings
The adults around me look to the firmament with grey eyes
We're really sorry!
Talking about inconsequential things
I, Barazo Mankanshoku, will never live this down!
without ever falling quiet,
I'll never act so disgracefully ever again!
they descend the slope
I'm so ashamed, letting my desires get the better of me!
We're so very, very sorry!
I have no plans
We're so sorry!
I have no goals
Pull a stunt like that again, and I won't be so nice next time, got it?
Right now, all warnings
Yes, Ma'am!
are falling on deaf ears for me
And without further ado...
Let's eat!
I just want to do my own thing for now
Sorry I'm not cut out to be some perfect honor student
Nothing beats your Mystery Croquettes, Mom!
You said it! They're the best in Japan!
Two buttons on my shirt are open
Eat all you like, boys!
Yeah, these are so good!
Your lively dinners have returned.
as I walk through the back alleys
Yeah, this is how this family should be!
Nothing tempts me in this world
Tonight I've told you my secret,
Back-Alley Clinic
Mankanshoku
and you're the only one who knows
What did you just say?
The fact that the lowly Fight Club defeated all those
other clubs meant that they were not worthy.
You're serious, then?
Enough with your impertinent questioning, Jakuzure!
Lady Satsuki has never said anything that she did not mean!
He is correct.
I will rebuild Honnouji Academy's order from the ground up once more.
Honnouji Academy will hold a Reprisal General Election!
Next time! Honnouji Academy
Reprisal General Election
Wait, surely you didn't exploit Matoi to purge this academy of its undesirables?
