Eat this! Finishing move: Isshin Zenzanken!
Hup!
Go on back to being a naked ape!
Impossible!
Hup!
Ta-da!
That's...
Yep, the other half of your Scissor Blade!
I pulled this out of your dad!
Wait... It was you?
Yep! It was me!
I was the one who killed your father!
Bitch!
Answer me! Why did you kill my dad?!
Episode 12
Spit Your Sadness Away
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
He said that as long as I had this scissor,
I'd be sure to find the person who killed him.
And he was right!
It was you that was at my house that day, wasn't it?!
Yep! I sure was!
Why did you do it?! Why did you kill my dad?!
You know the reason why.
Me? Don't screw with me!
I don't know the first thing about my dad!
But you're wearing the reason why.
Wearing? You mean Senketsu?
Yep! Your dad meddled in things that no human should meddle in.
Y'know, like a taboo thing.
But taboos, they feel so good, you know?
What is it with this woman's hands?
They're cold as ice!
It's so silky smooth!
That's a hundred percent Life Fiber for sure!
Don't dodge the question!
Don't be that way, I'm not dodging anything.
We finally got the chance to meet,
so let's do something that's more fun!
Get real!
Why the hell would I play around with the person who killed my dad?!
Gosh, you're so narrow-minded.
Love and hate are two sides of the same coin.
It's like a finely-tailored suit with a good, sturdy lining.
In other words, the stronger your hatred is, the taller your love grows.
Like hell it does!
Now, now. You're so lovely when you're angry, Ryuko!
Shut up!
Calm yourself, Ryuko.
Your blood is starting to boil.
You're too worked up!
It's another red thread!
That's its Banshi? This is bad news!
I'm just dying to see you naked!
What the—
Now!
That's a Kamui for you.
I guess this means that it has more than one Banshi, huh?
That's right!
I'm not so flimsy that I'll come undone because of one thread!
How wonderful!
I can't believe he was hiding something like that! That sly old dog.
He had me completely fooled!
Who are you?
I'm here to play!
To play?
Six Months Earlier
Matoi Underground Labs
I heard that you've been up to all sorts of fun things here, Doc.
So play with me, too!
Ah, I see.
You're here because you caught wind of my research.
Yep! I gave my word to an acquaintance of mine that I'd bring it back.
And I have to keep my word.
A Shape Memory Lab Coat, eh?
If it has that ability, you wove Life Fibers into that lab coat, too, didn't you?
Yay for me! That means I can play for realsies!
C'mon, stop holding back.
Go all-out when you play.
Life's no fun if you don't!
This is what I dedicated my life to developing!
It cuts and kills Life Fibers.
And so, I have named them Rending Scissors!
Rending Scissors
Oh Doc, your taste in names is terrible.
Scientists don't care how well something goes over!
Not if the result of their research is sound!
You're pretty good with those whatever-scissors!
Careful, that's dangerous!
It looks like it takes a lot of strength to use those scissors.
You really ought to exercise more.
Lay off! A scientist only begins to hit his stride at 60!
Gosh, these really do halt all Life Fiber activity, don't they?
That's our Dr. Matoi!
These scissors are a force to be reckoned with, huh?
How does it feel to have your life taken by the very research you dedicated your life to?
It's the best, isn't it?!
Aren't I nice?
Spare me your drivel...
Well, I need to take these with me.
Dad! Dad!
Dad?
Ah, so half of the Rending Scissors was stolen,
but he managed to keep me hidden.
I'd expect nothing less from Dr. Matoi.
So it was you that I saw that day?!
It was.
If I'd known a cute thing like you was coming,
I would've stayed put instead of running!
Get serious, damn it!
Do you think you can avenge your father like this?
Nope, nope, nope!
I've had it with you!
Stop it, Ryuko!
It's dangerous for your blood to get this hot!
If you keep this up, I won't be able to hold myself together!
Damn! That's what you were after, Harime Nui?
I'm going down!
Yay, that's more like it! Now things have gotten fun!
It's no good. She's completely out of control.
You mean she's been swallowed up by the power of the Kamui?
Matoi's body can't handle this for long.
She'll probably die of blood loss in minutes.
Exsanguination
Die of blood loss?!
We have to give her an ablution!
You mean blood transfusion.
My daddy steals people's blood at work and sells it for lots of money
so I've seen lots of death from blood loss!
Hey, wait. What do you mean by—
When people die of blood loss, that means they're gone forever!
That goes without saying.
It does not! I'm not okay with Ryuko dying!
After all, I'm the daughter of a back-alley doctor.
Stop the dying from blood loss! Stop the blood thievery!
Things have taken a disturbing turn, I see.
Sanageyama!
Oh, you're not dead, wild monkey?
Thanks to you, I got plenty of data on the Banshi.
Until I settle things with Matoi,
I won't die.
Sanageyama... You're...
Put on some clothes.
This is a disaster.
Keep her pinned down for me, Tsumugu.
Understood.
Lady Satsuki, are you all right?
The destruction of the polling place can no longer be prevented.
I want you four to evacuate the students.
I had no idea a Kamui had this kind of power...
I will stop her.
Life Fiber Override: Kamui Junketsu!
Kamui Junketsu
You handle this.
Right!
Wait, Ryuko!
Don't waste it! Blood is worth lots of money!
Hey, Mako! What's up?
Daddy!
We drove here 'cause we wanted to see Ryuko's fight in person!
C'mon, Sis, tell us where we can sneak in!
Where's the arena?
This is no time to be joking around!
This is a job for Mankanshoku, Back-alley Doctor!
Back-Alley Doctor Mankanshoku
Back-Alley Doctor Mankanshoku House Call
I don't know what's going on, but leave it to me!
Wait for me, Ryuko!
You've got the daughter of a back-alley doctor on your side!
Keep it up, keep it up!
You're turning into more and more of a monster!
This is how Life Fibers ought to be!
As I feared, you've been swallowed up by your clothing, too.
And what are you?
I don't need to identify myself to you.
You're in my way.
I'm saying you're just a big ol' nuisance!
A trap, huh?
I knew you could do it, Tsumugu. I appreciate it.
This is a Special Adhesive Bullet.
To make a long story short, it's like a powerful starching agent.
But if you use this,
there's no guarantee that the person inside will survive.
Sorry about this, Ryuko.
She spotted me? At this range?
Impossible... Damn it!
You're not going anywhere!
A trap again?
Honestly, he's so irritating.
Oh, Lady Satsuki! I love your outfit.
Even Kiryuin has turned up?
What's your game, Harime Nui?
I want to see just how powerful the Kamui
created by Dr. Matoi Isshin is, don't you?
Or is this revenge against Matoi Isshin for completely fooling you?
You're mistake was fixating on the Rending Scissors,
so you failed to notice the existence of the Kamui that he had secretly developed.
And he also took your left eye.
That side of you is less than charming.
I'm okay with that.
When you consider something charming, it never ends well.
On that note, Ryuko is charming as hell!
She's coming after me relentlessly!
Snap out of it, Matoi Ryuko!
I can't get through...
Mmhmm! No point in trying!
Stand back!
If that's the case, it is my job to put her down.
The job of putting down someone who has been overwhelmed
by a Kamui's urge to destroy!
I guess this is fun in its own way!
Fall back, Tsumugu! It's not safe there!
Understood!
Oh, wow! Wow!
I could never intrude on a world that's just for you two!
And it would be amusing if we happened to kill each other.
That's what you're thinking, isn't it?
No, not at all!
But that will not happen!
A girl who is merely being worn by her Kamui
is no match for Kiryuin Satsuki!
Let's end this, Matoi!
Don't!
Ryuko!
Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko,
Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko,
Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko, Ryuko,
don't!
Don't do this, Ryuko!
This isn't like you, Ryuko!
What's the big idea, interfering like that?
Oops.
Hold your tongue and watch.
Didn't you say it yourself, Ryuko?
You didn't want to avenge your father,
you wanted to know him better.
The way you're acting now, you're just a rampaging monster!
You're howling and rampaging and wrecking the school!
This is just like how I was!
The Mako that soared to great heights thanks to the Fight Club!
When I was drunk on power,
you were the one who brought me to my senses!
So now it's my turn!
I'm gonna bring you back, Ryuko!
Mako...
Hey! Cut it out! Ow!
Damn!
Hey, I'm okay!
Hey, calm down! Ouch! Cut it out!
Ryuko!
Thanks.
Ryuko...
I'm sorry for dragging you into my drama, Senketsu.
No, I'm just glad that you are all right...
You were about to die of blood loss!
Dummy, dummy, dummy!
Huh? Ryuko? Ryuko?
Ryuko! Ryuko! Are you dead?
She passed out, that's all.
Mankanshoku, she survived thanks to you.
L-Lady Satsuki? What're you doing here?
I mean, you know my name?
I mean, Ryuko, talk to me!
I've got a perfect, all-over tan!
Wow, it's like I got a tanning salon session for free! How lucky!
That was a close one.
Sorry about that, Tsumugu.
We managed to get by without using this.
I couldn't lay a hand on them.
I couldn't so much as touch any of those three women.
What else did you expect?
When they get like that,
they're monsters that have become more than human.
Crap, now I have to go back and train again.
Aw, the ending turned out to be a real letdown.
Harime Nui.
You are hereby banned from Honnouji Academy.
I will deal with both Matoi Ryuko and the Kamui.
Meddle in my affairs again,
and Grand Couturier or not, I will show you no mercy.
Aw, don't be mean!
Leave.
Fine, fine, you've made your point!
As if!
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
Several Days Later
I see that you're back on your feet.
Where's Harime Nui?
Why do you want to know?
Because she killed your father?
Of course.
I was the one who ordered her to steal the Rending Scissors from Matoi Isshin.
If you must hate someone, hate me.
What?
As to why Matoi Isshin was killed and what the Kamui and Life Fibers are,
I know the answers to all those mysteries.
Then let's go at it right here.
Can you win in your current condition?
Your body still bears the damage from your little rampage the other day.
Shut up!
I must thank you, Matoi Ryuko.
Thank me?
Yes, thank you.
As a result of you fighting the Elite Four, I was able to make the final adjustments to my Goku Uniforms.
I can now deploy them in battle.
What?
Honnouji Academy's nationwide academy conquest will at last be complete.
That was what you were after
with the Naturals Election and King of the Hill battle?
Indeed it was.
In one week's time, Honnouji Academy
will crush the western academy administrations that still oppose us in one fell swoop!
This is my Tri-City Schools Raid Trip!
Tri-City Schools Raid Trip
You just sit on your thumbs here and watch as they fall.
