Welcome back, Lady Satsuki.
You all did well in the Tri-City Schools Raid Trip.
Thank you.
How did it go with the director?
She was pleased with our results.
She's also decided to pay a visit to Honnouji Academy.
Then—
Yes. It is time at last.
I'll be counting on the four of you.
Students of Honnouji Academy!
You did well in the Tri-City Schools Raid Trip!
We eradicated the dens of the Kansai forces and anti-clothing guerrillas
and completed our mission.
For that reason, we will welcome Honnouji Academy Director Kiryuin Ragyo,
and in the Ragyo Stadium that bears her name,
a grand ceremony will be held!
Welcome the director by putting forth all the energy that
you have stored up within you!
This is the Honnouji Academy Grand Cultural and Sports Festival!

Episode 17
Tell Me Why
It all begins when we sever the threads of fate
I was trying to be someone I'm not
In a cramped world
With no breathing room
As I walked down my runway
I thought I'd concealed it
Behind the smile that masked my face
But it doesn't work on you
You always see through my facade
Nobody's ever unraveled me like this before
I don't know what to do
Nobody else can pull these outfits off
A somewhat ambiguous fever
Threatens to burn our hearts away
It all begins once we rein in the threads of fate
A new day will dawn for us
We must be one in spirit
That's funny.
I was just thinking that I'd have to settle things with you.
Right now, you don't have your kamui or your scissor.
Do you honestly think a mere half-naked high-schooler can beat me?
You think your threats are gonna faze me?
I'll strip down completely if I need to.
No, you can't!
A girl only reveals herself in her full glory
to the person the loves most in the whole world!
Can you honestly say that you love Mr. Mohawk that deeply, Ryuko?
Uh, that's not the point.
After all, the reason you wear Senketsu is because you love him the most, right?
Living clothing sounds like it'd be gross,
so you'd never wear him unless you loved him!
That's what it means for a maiden to entrust her bare skin to someone!
Ryuko, I am flattered that you are angry on my behalf.
But if I may be so bold, put me on.
Senketsu...
If you don't, you'll catch cold.
That's what you're worried about?
I can't believe you two...
Playing at being friends with clothing again, huh?
I don't even feel like shooting them anymore.
This is Osaka?
This is horrible...
I suppose it is.
This is all the result of the power of Life Fibers.
As well as yours and mine.
Yeah.
Mikisugi was right to keep us in the dark up until now.
Even looking at this, it seems beyond comprehension that Life Fibers are lifeforms from outer space.
This, coming from you?
I'm probably scared.
It's like, something that was just a brawl
turned into some grand battle full of crazy crap I don't understand
like the fate of humanity and the extinction of the species or whatever.
"I don't give a shit about any of it!" is what I really wanted to say.
But I blamed you for getting me mad.
Well, you really did get angry on my behalf, Ryuko.
That's the kind of person you are.
What's his deal?
Kinagase Tsumugu's older sister died in a Life Fiber experiment.
After Dr. Matoi founded Nudist Beach,
his top assistant was Tsumugu's sister, Kinagase Kinue.
Only Life Fibers can fight Life Fibers.
To create Life Fibers that would obey a human's will.
That's what Dr. Matoi and Kinue's research was dedicated to.
And during one experiment...
So she's the foolish woman he mentioned, huh?
Earlier, he said that I'd share her fate.
Oh, right.
But Kinue's dying words were, "Please continue the experiments."
Dr. Matoi made further improvements and completed Kamui Senketsu.
Senketsu's Life Fibers have been
spliced with DNA from your central nervous system.
What?!
That's why he can only communicate with and be worn by you.
He's a combat uniform that Dr. Matoi made especially for you.
Why would my father do something like that?
He said he did it to protect you.
What the hell, man?
Your tea.
Thank you.
I've had a lot of your tea, haven't I, Soroi?
Yes, I have been making it for you since you were five.
Ah, yes.
Ever since that day.
The day father showed me Junketsu for the first time.
That day, Father said to me...
This will be your wedding dress.
"This will be your wedding dress."
Yes, I have heard.
I suppose it was on that day that all this really began.
It seems like only yesterday.
Even this tea that I once found so bitter is now
the most delicious thing in the world to me.
What is it?
You found it bitter?
I never mentioned that?
From the very first cup, you smiled, saying that it was delicious.
To think you were merely humoring me and enduring the bitterness...
I beg for your forgiveness.
It's fine already...
I suppose I was a kindhearted girl back then.
Form up! At attention! Listen closely!
Tomorrow, the Grand Cultural and Sports Festival
will be held at Honnouji Academy!
All Starless students and their parents are to welcome
Director Kiryuin from the spectator seats!
Ceremonial dress uniforms will be distributed to all of you!
Gather at the stadium entrance in these uniforms by 8:30 AM!
Tardiness will not be tolerated! Unkempt dress will not be tolerated!
Assume that even the slightest breach of
etiquette will carry the death penalty!
Dismissed!
Wait just one minute!
And who are you?!
Mankanshoku Barazo, father of Second Year Class A's Mankanshoku Mako!
His wife, Sukuyo!
Their firstborn son, Mataro!
What a well-mannered family. Even the dog introduces itself.
What do you want?
Where is Mako?
I heard that Mako was conscripted into the Schools Raid Trip.
The other students have returned, but not Mako and Ryuko.
Would you care to explain that?
Matoi and Mankanshoku?
They are rebels.
As the family of rebels, your home is to be confiscated
and you'll be banished from Honnou Town!
However, tomorrow is the Grand Cultural and Sports Festival.
Grand

I will grant you a special pardon!
Special

You will be allowed to participate!
If you wish to atone for your daughter's crimes, participate in the ceremony
Ceremony

and wholeheartedly toast the honor and glory of Lady Satsuki and Lady Ragyo!
Wholeheartedly

Is that clear?!
I actually have a couple questions.
What?
Are the girls alive?
Yes.
Question two! Will this ceremony be catered?
O-Of course.
Very well! On the honor of the Mankanshoku family,
in order to remove our daughter's stigma,
we shall clean our plates of this food, leaving not one crumb uneaten!
Mark my words!

What the hell is this?
A video feed from hidden cameras I had set up inside Honnouji Academy.
If Kiryuin Ragyo is coming, too, this must be something big.
Kiryuin Ragyo?
The leading figure of the Kiryuin Conglomerate,
and she's currently using her position as REVOCS CEO
to sell clothing laced with Life Fibers all around the world.
Good grief, she's blinding! She's more tacky than Satsuki!
The ostentatious apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
She's even more charismatic than Satsuki. She's a formidable opponent.
What's this?
They're bringing in Life Fibers in bulk.
What are they up to?
Oh, no... She plans to conduct the final experiment at Honnouji Academy!

They were repurposed for military use so all the country's academies could be conquered.

National Conquest
If they forcibly distribute Life Fiber-laced uniforms to teenagers,
National Conquest
they'll find those who have the highest resistance.
National Conquest
After all that is complete,
she'll offer up every last person gathered at Honnouji Academy
as human sacrifices to the Life Fibers.
Human sacrifices?!
Yes. It must be her final experiment to fully awaken the Life Fibers.
Gather a mass of people wearing Life Fiber-laced clothing in one spot
and then instantly convert them into Life Fibers.
That is the real purpose of the Grand Cultural and Sports Festival.
Wait, so you're saying that Mako's parents
are gonna be eaten by their clothes?!
Put simply, I suppose they will.
Eaten by their clothes...
Screw that! No way am I gonna let that happen!
Ryuko?
Kiryuin Ragyo and Kiryuin Satsuki... I'm gonna take you both out!
Leap straight into the jaws of danger?
Yeah, I'm gonna jump down its throat and rip out its guts with my teeth!
Ryuko!
Don't worry.
I won't lose control again.
I won't make you shed any more bitter tears.
One way or another, I have to settle this fight with Satsuki.
Are you with me, Senketsu?
Of course.
This'll be interesting.
Oh brother, I guess you leave me no choice.
Let's hurry, then. We don't have much time.
The Hyper Inner manufacturing facility in Mozambique was attacked.
Militant extremists?
Yes, ma'am. It would seem that even anti-establishment organizations are awash
with rumors that wearing REVOCS special innerwear boosts physical capabilities.
That's fine. It's exactly as planned.
We don't just make people buy them.
There are some who are best tricked into taking them for themselves.
Regardless of how it came into their possession,
the end result of them being worn by REVOCS clothing will remain unchanged.
What a beautiful world.
Not yet, we're only getting started.
Tomorrow, we step onto a new stage.
The next step to the awakening of COVERS.
Lady Satsuki is most impressive.
She masterfully conquered the teen demographic, which has the highest resistance to Life Fibers.
It was ingenious, negating their resistance to Life Fibers
by getting them hooked on the power of Goku Uniforms.
But things are so dull if they're too neat and tidy.
Grand Couturier...
Oh, right. It was Matoi's daughter that you were more interested in.
Yes. To think that she gathered up the pieces of her kamui and stitched them together all by herself...
Not too many girls out there would be so rude.
"What's fair is foul, and foul is fair," huh? How very like you, Nui.
Yep!
Still, that's mere empty rhetoric.
There is only one truth.
Only those things that earn Kiryuin Ragyo's approval may be called beautiful.
The Grand Cultural and Sports Festival is tomorrow.
I expect you to dress up for the occasion.
Enough to satisfy even my sense of style.
Honestly, like mother, like daughter...
Tsumugu.
What's this?
A Tailor's Dagger and Tailor's Glove.
They're capable of cutting Life Fibers.
You're at a disadvantage in close combat with just those sewing machine guns.
Sever the Goku Uniform's Banshi and my opponent goes stark naked, huh?
Good. Very good.
Our targets are only Ragyo and Satsuki. Ignore everything else.
Well, it's not like there's anything else we can do with just three of us.
Keep Mako safe.
Sure.
I've asked our remaining members to look after her here.
Don't ditch me here, Ryuko!
Mako...
C'mon, let's go home!
Dummy, Honnouji Academy isn't safe for you!
But it's my home!
I've got souvenirs to give to my mom and dad!
Dammit, Mako!
If you're going, so am I!
Oh right, you don't listen once you've made up your mind, either.
Tomorrow is the long-awaited Grand Cultural and Sports Festival!
I want you all to set to it with determination in your hearts!
Yes, Sir!
I can't hear you!
Yes, Sir!
Straighten out those lights a little!
Good, I want them to wreathe the stage.
Tomorrow will be Honnouji Academy's climax!
Let's make it more dramatic!
Okay, right there!
Good, good!
Work fast, people! We're in the home stretch!
How are things coming down there, Iori
It's the day that Lady Satsuki has dreamed of.
We'll be ready come Hell or high water.
Understood. I'll be done here soon, too.
It looks like the naked apes have taken the bait.
It was worth leaving those hidden cameras where they were.
This will fill in the final piece of the puzzle.
Summon everyone to the Student Council Chambers.
All preparations to welcome my mother are now complete.
I appreciate all your hard work.
Ma'am!
And so, let us toast to the success of the Grand Cultural and Sports Festival!
Attention, all students and families of Honnouji Academy!
We have succeeded in conquering of all our nation's academies!
All of the fools who dared oppose our Goku Uniforms have been eliminated!
Today is a celebration of those accomplishments!
Eat and drink your fill! Praise the Kiryuin name!
The Honnouji Academy Grand Cultural and Sports Festival begins now!
It's begun, dear!
Who cares?! Just eat!
Yeah! We'll stuff ourselves and then skip out afterwards!
Hold on, Mataro, Now that I have a good look at you, you're naked!
I sold off that stupid dress uniform ages ago!
Damn, I wish I'd thought of that!
And now, what you have all been waiting for.
Let us offer a welcome with the utmost respect.
I present to you this academy's founder, Director Kiryuin Ragyo!
As grand an entrance as one would expect from our director.
A ruler must shine like the sun at all times.
It has been far too long, Mrs. Kiryuin.
Ah, Nonon. How is your father?
Well, thank you.
Are you still engaging in hacking and stock manipulation?
Oh, I no longer indulge in such things...
Oh, you don't? A pity.
Ladies and gentlemen, I put a question to you.
What is the world?
The world is clothing.
Life Fibers are the ruler of this world.
I, Kiryuin Ragyo, know and carry out their will!
Honnouji Academy was created for just that purpose.
The weak will serve as the foundation for what is to come.
You should consider that an honor.
What the heck is the director talking about?
She means that the day has come for
the pigs in human clothing to be devoured by their clothing.
Now, let the celebration begin!
Dad! Mom! Guts, too?!
What's that screaming?!
Sounds like it's started. Let's hurry.
I'll use the DTR to jump us to the stage in one go.
Come on, Tsumugu! Ryuko!
You mean Dotonbori Robo?
DTR!
It's Dotonbori Robo, right?
DTR!
He hates that name.
You're worried about that at a time like this?
What about me?!
I slipped off! There's nowhere to grab on!
Go and hide! I'll give you snacks!
DTR, going airborne!
Have fun storming the stadium!
Such wonderful silence...
The cacophony expelled forth by the foolish beast
known as humanity fades away,
with nothing but tranquil fibers to fill the void.
The experiment is a success, Lady Ragyo!
I'm putting an end to this, Kiryuin Satsuki!
Turn everyone back to normal!
Oh, so you are Matoi Ryuko?
You're—
I see. And that is Kamui Senketsu?
The fruits of Matoi Isshin's last, futile efforts.
I must say, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
So you're Kiryuin Ragyo, huh?
I swear, you Kiryuins love to talk down to people!
I do. I am the one who knows everything in this world.
I am the leader of the Kiryuin Conglomerate, Rag—
What are you playing at, Satsuki?
The time for speeches is over, Director.
As of this moment, Kiryuin Satsuki and Honnouji Academy
are rebelling against you!
What the hell?
Oh, so that's her game.
You're trying to take the throne from me?
No, I'm not!
People do not live for the sake of clothing!
I, Kiryuin Satsuki, am rising up to overthrow the Life Fibers!
Honnouji Academy is the fortress I created in order to defeat you!
Remember that, Kiryuin Ragyo!
My monotonous everyday life
Took on a new hue
A part of me always wished
for that to happen
But when it actually did
I was too scared to act
That's a secret, okay?
Trembling alone
I miss you so much
If only I could tell you
that I'll always be on your side
We could be invincible
When we take flight,
we'll do so together
We'll make a stand
I don't want to go back
To being the bumbling coward I was
Every little thing will come together
To give us great strength
That's how I feel right now
