Black Rock Shooter, where have you gone?
Can you hear me?
Just how much louder do I have to shout?
Just how much more do I have to cry?
Stop it please, I can't run anymore.
The gates of the world I once dreamed of are closing.
On this dark, broken road without a shard of light,
Suddenly, I felt I found a hope that shouldn't have been there.
Oh, why?
Black Rock Shooter, all those dear memories.
I remember those fun times.
Black Rock Shooter, but I can't act anymore.
I wish upon the stars soaring through the darkness,
Because I will run one more time.
Episode 4 The World I Once Dreamed of Closes on Me
Okay then, introduce yourself.
Izuriha Kagari.
Izuriha Kagari
Izuriha, could you say more than your name?
Sorry, Kagari isn't really good with words.
Super cute!
Doesn't she look like Sasaki Nozomi?
Yeah, really!
Totally!
Shuddup.
So cute!
And she's foul-mouthed!
She's cool!
Yeah, cool!
Hey, Kagari, is your hair dyed?
Shut up, you smurf!
Haha, she called me a smurf!
That was a surprise!
She mixed in with the class really quickly, didn't she?
Yeah, I was surprised too!
And she's the one who suggested coming to school.
It's a hell of a sudden change.
I can't even believe it.
What could've happened?
I think your feelings reached her.
Mato!
Yuu?
Koha came to school!
What, really?
Sorry, Yomi, I gotta go!
It feels like I'm always watching their backs.
I just sprained it a little.
We were scared when we heard you passed out!
I was just as surprised!
People don't just go fainting from a sprain!
You're saying it as if it wasn't even you.
I'm glad. I'm so glad, Koha!
Yeah, I guess I am as well.
I probably won't be able to play in the prelims,
so this girl will have to push the team through for me!
Please, Koha... Without you, the team is just a bunch of old ladies.
Okay. Then practice during lunch!
Koha!
Damn, my ankle does hurt a bit after all.
The cooking club?
Yeah. We make sweets.
But alone?
She's not alone! Right, Kagari?
Let's go take a look. The seniors want to have a word with you.
How should I put this...
I'm a bit discouraged.
We've been together since we were little.
I didn't think she could do anything without me around.
I promised I wouldn't let her be alone.
That I wouldn't run away from her.
You should relax a bit.
Ms. Saya...
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Y-Yes.
Nobody would have a hard time just because you're not around.
No one needs you that much.
No one needs me?
Sorry, sorry, don't mind me!
I just meant that it's nothing you should be worried about.
Ms. Saya!
Oh hey, Yuu!
I'm going.
I see.
Sorry, Yomi, but we can't go home together for a while!
Is Yuu like that too?
Yuu? Yeah, she's in the same club.
Why do you ask?
You got Baltic Avenue! Sell it to me!
No.
Come on, sell it, sell it, sell it!
I said no, damn it!
It's only at times like this...
Now that you have friends, I could die for...
Yomi...
Sorry, I'm just tired.
You can have Baltic Avenue.
Why didn't you do it yesterday?
I was dead tired!
Can I eat the bread? Just the bread!
No! That's bad manners!
I just want to try!
Hey, Mato!
I'm doing it too!
Kagari!
Good morning!
Huh? Where's Yomi?
H-Hey...
Take me to school.
Yomi's late.
Hey, morning!
What's wrong?
Yomi?
You had already left when I went to pick you up.
I was worried!
Sorry...
Sorry? That's all you have to say?
What?
Why are you mad?
What does it matter?
Don't worry about her, Kagari.
Yomi, Kagari...
Ah, thanks.
What should I give her?
Give...?
Should I just sell her Pennsylvania Avenue?
The what avenue?
I think that before, when Yomi wasn't around,
I was totally lost and couldn't do anything.
But now, I'm doing well with my studies and I'm popular.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I realized when you told me off that
I was always depending on Yomi to do everything for me.
I want to do something for her too.
But I don't know how to do things for others.
Kagari...
How... How can I do something for Yomi?
It's turned awfully gloomy.
It seemed like it was gonna be something really nice.
I see.
What is that? So creepy...
Is that level of gross even possible?
Nobody would have a hard time just because you're not around.
Friendship Week! April 1. - March 31.
No one needs me.
Even if I disappeared, the world wouldn't change.
Kagari already went home today.
I thought you'd go with her, but she left.
Didn't you complain to her this morning?
You were mad someone else took care of her.
Yeah, you're trying to hog Kagari.
Make something myself?
Yeah, you even joined the cooking club.
Didn't you make something today?
Madeleines.
Yes, yes. That works.
She'll love it.
Yomi... will love it.
I'm not!
I'm not hogging her!
Taking care of Kagari was really difficult and hard for me!
What are you on about?
So!
I really don't...
I really don't mind if she gets along well with others!
I'm glad if she does!
Yomi?
Wait, Yomi!
What was that about?
Don't worry about it, Kagari.
Yomi, Kagari is here.
I don't want to see her.
Don't say that. Come on out.
She started going to school again for you.
I don't want to see her!
Give this to her, then.
You came to school without Yomi again?
I went to see her, but...
Is she staying home?
Yeah.
Kagari!
Takanashi
Thanks for worrying about me. You don't have to come over to check on me, though.
You look worried.
Yomi hasn't looked all that happy at school lately.
Why don't you tell me your tiny bird's address?
I want to be her friend too.
Yuu!
You're such a nice person!
You're so nice!
Get a grip!
Let's hear some battle cries!
Okay!
Do you have a minute?
Nice shot!
I'm really sorry.
Everyone's making fun of me and you got hurt as well.
You know, I was really happy.
You see, I also like—
Um...
Sorry.
I don't really understand what you're going on about.
Sorry.
So, I have my club...
Wait!
I know you can't forgive what happened.
But I'll change!
I'll tell them!
So please!
Sorry,
but I really don't understand what you want.
I don't know what there is to forgive or be angry about.
I don't really remember you.
So...
Kagari's here again.
Tell her to get lost.
But...
I want her to go away!
I sent her that mail,
but I'm sure Mato will...
come.
This is Yuu.
I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Yuu. I'm a friend of Mato's.
This is Yuu.
I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Yuu. I'm a friend of Mato's.
This is Yuu.
I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Yuu. I'm a friend of Mato's.
This is Yuu.
I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Yuu. I'm a friend of Mato's.
This is Yuu.
I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Yuu. I'm a friend of Mato's. I thought you might have a cold or something, and Mato's worried too.
Mato's
This is Yuu.
I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm Yuu. I'm a friend of Mato's. I thought you might have a cold or something, and Mato's worried too.
friend
Mato's worried too.
Mato's friend...
Why?
Yomi.
Kagari's still waiting.
Kagari...
Kagari needs me.
Only Kagari would miss me if I vanished.
Kagari!
Yomi!
I'm sorry, Kagari.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
Home sweet home.
I'm soaked.
So much for this cheap umbrella!
Maybe I'll catch a cold.
Now, cafe-au-lait...
Cafe-au-lait...
Are those sweets again?
Yeah! I made chocolate chip cookies.
Thanks. That makes me so happy.
Really?
Yeah.
Really happy.
Happy to hear it.
I felt I really had to do something for you.
It feels like it's always you doing something for me.
I wanted to thank you.
I thought you would never let me go if I didn't thank you.
What?
You see, you said you're happy that I'm making friends,
but I think you were putting up an act.
Heat the milk.
You were just acting strong, and that's not good.
Before, I thought nothing would work out if you were gone.
I think.
But you see, I don't even remember needing you that much.
You did a lot for me.
I think you did.
I think I liked you.
You liked me?
To be honest, I don't know why.
Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I don't really understand it.
Please, enjoy the cookies.
Let's forget about what happened up to now.
Please, let me go!
Success.
You want to become someone else,
but of course that's impossible.
When you're anxious,
the other you,
who lives in your heart will tell you
that no one can live straightforward,
and we all struggle with our problems.
We all complain,
we all grumble,
and our days pass like that.
We got used to being hurt and we know
that kindness and intent alone won't help you.
But we should still try to stay ourselves,
and always walk on.
