When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV. Turn on the lights and sit back from the TV!
When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV.
Okay, you three! It's time to get... up...
What are you staring at?
Um, you're all up so early.
Well, it's not like we're looking forward to school or anything!
I'm kinda looking forward to it.
I've been barred from kindergarten and school since I was little.
Me, too. The only kids my own age I know are The Children.
I'm really looking forward to reading the minds of normal kids.
Now, you all remember the promise, right?
Right!
The chief promised he'd buy us whatever we wanted later!
I want an overseas vacation!
I want some crazy-cool sexy lingerie!
NO! I mean the promise you made to get all that other stuff!
We know. No using our powers at school.
And no matter what trouble may occur...
...we solve it without using esper powers.
How many times do we have to say it?
Promise me.
Fine.
I mean, promise me!
Bye!
Be careful!
Okay!
The Children School Attendance Project is now moving to phase 2.
Roger!

ROKUJOIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
6th sense. "Ready to Rumble! In Front of Our Classmates!?"
This is it... School!
Let's go!
Um, due to circumstances at home, we've been transferred to this school!
I'm Kaoru Akashi!
I'm Aoi Nogami!
I'm Shiho Sannomiya.
We're pleased to meet you!
Three of them! Dibs on the one on the left!
Those accessories... Can they be?
Look at all these kids.
Awesome! It must've been a lot of work to get it all set up!
She's suddenly thinking about something really pervy.
Okay, the three desks in back will be your seats.
Wow.
All three of them are cute!
Our very own... desks!
Minamoto, your duties are twofold.
First, to guard the girls.
Which is why I'm wearing this?
Yes! Special equipment developed for this day:
The optical camouflage jacket!
Strictly-speaking, it's an experimental prototype.
Using its special light-reflecting characteristics,
it's a fantastic device which can render the wearer invisible.
This is because we can't be certain what the anti-esper group Normal People
might try to disrupt this operation.
Yes, sir.
Kashiwagi, issue the equipment.
Yes, sir.
Wh-Why do I need guns?! Why TWO of them?!
Explain.
Explaining, sir.
This gun is loaded with tranquilizer rounds enhanced with ESP suppressors.
ESP suppressors?
ESP limiters can only suppress powers up to Level 3.
Level 7's like The Children still have Level 4 powers with them on.
You mean I'm supposed to shoot them with this?!
Your second duty is to keep an eye on the girls.
It's really just to be sure.
I believe in them, too.
Above all else, we must avoid a repeat of what happened in the simulation.
THE TRUTH
Although, if it does, I'll do my best to cover it up!
Are you ready?
Optical camouflage, switch on!
Moving out to observe and protect The Children!
This project is to see if those three can attend school!
The future of The Children School Attendance Project...
No, of the nation and of all espers, is depending on you!
Go to it.
Um, right.
Wow, so all three of you are friends?
Why'd you all transfer together?
Um... Well, we all kind of work together, so...
Work?
Um, I mean...
She means our parents!
Right! Right! She means our parents!
From what I see, they seem to be pulling it off.
Those are ESP limiters, aren't they?
You three are all espers, aren't you?
Right?
Um... Well...
So am I. Look!
I'm a Level 2 telepath.
Although being Level 2 is practically like not having any powers...
My name's Chisato Hanai. So, what are your powers?
Um... That is!
Um...
"I am a Level 2 psychokinetic."
I-am-a-Level-2-psychokinetic.
I-am-the-same-level-teleporter.
I-am-a-Level-2-psychometrist.
Why are they reading off of cards?
Couldn't they have rehearsed better?
What? We have four espers as classmates?
I don't like it.
Don't take off your limiters.
Unfortunately, they're special ones we can't take off ourselves!
Special ones?
Sh-She means they were kissed by someone special, long ago!
Yeah, kissed.
Either way, don't go using any psychic powers.
They're trouble.
Tono, stop it!
Hanai...
What the heck's your problem?!
Tono hates espers. He's always saying stuff like that to Chisato.
That's not true! Tono just-
There you go again, covering for him.
What's wrong with espers?
Yeah! He's the only one here who acts like that, right?
Sorry. I shouldn't have brought up your having psychic powers.
It's just... I've never met any other till now.
I got so happy that I just didn't think...
Don't sweat it. We know exactly how you feel.
Lame.
Well, who wants to be friends with three ugly espers like you?!
Hey! Jerk!
Ow!
Don't tell me, Kaoru just!
You did that, PK Girl!
That wasn't me!
Then how'd that eraser launch itself at me?!
How should I know?!
If it wasn't you, then who did it?!
You little jerk!
Kaoru, if you hurt him, everything we've worked for is all over!
PSYCHIC!
E-Everything...
Do you want to ruin everything?!
Didn't you promise me you wouldn't use your powers?!
I didn't use my powers!
You did too use them, liar!
I'm not lying!
Then prove it!
I don't have to.
Because, no matter what you think, I promised someone who trusts me...
that I wouldn't use them!
Kaoru...
Besides, I don't need psychic powers to handle someone like you!
A real man would settle things with his fists!
Oh, that's it! It is SO on!
Okay, take your seats! You heard the bell.
Yes, ma'am!
Tono, you heard the bell. What are you doing on the floor?
Oh, my! Aren't boys ever so violent?
Is changing personalities one of her psychic powers, too?
Are you all right, Akashi? I'm sorry, it was my fault.
I'm fine, really! Don't sweat it!
You really wanted to use your PK, didn't you?
Good job, holding back.
Well, for a second, I could almost see Minamoto's face, crying.
Kaoru won't be using her powers.
Then what happened before?
Yeah...
Be careful when you play with the erasers. Yeah...
Be careful when you play with the erasers.
Don't tell me...
This is because we can't be certain what the anti-esper group Normal People
might try to disrupt this operation.
Don't tell me!
Yo! I'm Masaru Tono!
Like I said, I'm Chisato Hanai.
You okay?
So, it's just phys-ed and then class is over for the day, huh?
This wasn't as boring as our days usually are.
Our PE uniforms are usually regular shorts,
but today they suddenly switched them to tights.
Y-You don't say...
You! This was your doing, right?!
You had the chief change the uniform, didn't you?!
You creepy old guy!
This was the compromise!
I really wanted them to be bloomer shorts!
In this day and age?
Wonder what we'll be doing.
Dodgeball, apparently.
All right!
Tono.
Why so excited? Gonna use your powers again?
What?!
Well, if you wanted any hope of beating Masaru Tono,
the Dodge King of Rokujoin Elementary, you would have to use them.
And what if I beat you without them?
Let's see... Then, I'd...
I'd trust espers.
You're on.
Like hell she'll win without using her powers.
Of course she will! Espers are all the same!
I just need to show everyone else how they secretly lie!
Bring it!
What?!
Wow.
I see why he's the Dodge King. He and Kaoru are evenly matched.
But, this is...
Hey! Give us a chance, too! This is still PE class, right?
Okay, you two! What's the problem?
Tell me, why does Tono hate espers so much?
Tono and I have known each other since kindergarten.
We lived near each other and our moms were friends,
so we played together all the time.
Aren't you scared of me?
Huh? Of what?
My... My telepathy.
I don't care. Oh! There's a bear cicada!
I don't care that they found Chisato has ESP when they examined her.
Chisato is still Chisato.
Mommy, listen! It's about Tono!
I told my mom that I'd read Tono's mind.
And then he found out...
Tono, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I never thought... I never thought you'd do something like that!
We're through!
And ever since then...
I want you to forgive me, Tono.
But, I guess that's too much to ask.
I'm gonna get serious now!
Fine with me!
Great, and here we are again.
Two of a kind.
Not good enough!
Oh, no!
All right! Here's my chance!
I have you now!
My... My leg... It won't move!
That's!
PK Girl! Why, you!
What's? She really isn't using her powers?
So, that's what's going on!
Stop!
Invisible people?
What's that look for?
You're one to talk!
EAT THIS!
Sorry to disappoint you!
Back at you!
Kaoru...
Hold it!
Wh-What's wrong? You're looking kinda tired.
Wh-Who is? I'm the Dodge King!
I'm not quitting till I smack you with this!
G-Glad to hear it!
Okay! That's it for today!
We'll... We'll hold off on the challenge till next PE class, okay?
F... Fine with me.
My optical camouflage function!
Hold it! You're not getting away!
Kanai.
Tono... About what I did...
I'm sorry!
Ancient history. I've forgotten it... Chisato.
Minamoto! You called us?!
Why's he dancing?
And why's he wearing the weird cosplay?
Something's here!
Help me!
But, we're at school. Can we use our powers here?
It's an emergency! The Children, released!
<> It's an emergency! The Children, released!
Someone somewhere is calling us!
And we go to mete out punishment!
Because if we don't, who will?
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
Answering your hopes, we are now...
RELEASED!
Out of my way!
Forfeited!
I see. This guy definitely needs to be punished.
Kaoru?
You heard her!
Right!
PSYCHIC...
DESTROY SHOOT!
That's enough.
I was right. It was you, huh?
Chief?!
Of course there'd be more than one prototype.
I should have realized sooner.
But... But, that boy...
He was bullying my girls...
I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!
Oh, don't give me that. Let's go.
You'll pay for your crimes!
La... La-la-la... You'll pay for your crimes!
La... La-la-la...
And don't start singing!
Delivery!
From the chief to the three Children?
Nothing unusual inside.
Thanks.
Well, gotta run.
Shame on you, dating another girl when you have a girlfriend!
Why don't you give her that ring in your pocket?
Don't look! Don't read me! Agh, I'm sorry!
It feels good...
to do good!
I never thought he'd buy this stuff for us.
I know he asked us what we wanted, but is it really all right?
I'm... not sure.
Um, K-Kashiwagi... This claim form...
Aren't there too many zeros on this cost?
No, sir. The optical camouflage jacket is an experimental prototype.
And I suppose I did say I'd pay for the repairs myself...
Um... I can write off half of this as costs, right?
NO!
And you got this?
Yeah! I need special training for my next match!
Special training, huh?
Can you help?
Sure, that won't be too hard.
Okay, let's start now!
Training, start! Take this, Minamoto!
Wait, Kaoru! Wait a sec-

NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Zettai Karen Children!
You should have just said we were doing an ECM test from the start.
If you knew about the ECM test beforehand,
we wouldn't get proper results.
What else are you hiding?
Just the part about the ECM!
Say, Minamoto... What is ECM?
Zettai Karen Children!
