Welcome to The Anchor!
A game that tests the bond between friends.
The anchor rises if the answer is correct...
...or goes down if the answer is wrong.
This 30-kilogram anchor will hit your head! ...or goes down if the answer is wrong.
This 30-kilogram anchor will hit your head!
Expose the hypocrite monster.
I promise to protect his life.
Show time!
I'm still alive!
You are lucky, my friends!
You can still play with me.
Kotaro…
How does it feel removing the guillotine knife yourself?
We answered one of Anchor's questions...
...the anchor dropped by eight points.
Damn it.
Stop it!
We're now in a difficult situation, but there is certainly little hope of escaping this.
Anchor questions are likely to be letters A, N, C, H, O, and R which are hidden in the anchor word.
If I answer a question that determines the direction of the anchor, we can win.
I'll show that we can.
Hiroshi, Yuki.
Don't worry, the anchor may go down but we can still prevent it.
You mean, we won't die?
Certainly.
I promise to get you out of here alive.
I will not give up. I trust you, Zero.
What are they doing?
You were cheated outright.
What?
This is all your fault!
If I die, I swear I'll take myself with you!
The arguments they made were just fake.
Fake?
I told you not to underestimate Zero.
Your tricks have instead strengthen their bond.
Anchor is a game to break friendships.
I'll crush them right now!
Just destroy them.
You're the one who's deciding whether they live or die, right?
Right.
That behavior was unnecessary.
We're here because we want the 100 billion yen, right?
I don't need your kind words about getting ourselves alive.
Friendship in games only hinders the competition.
I could die anytime.
Because I risked my own life.
Life should not be gambled just for money.
Okay, guys, let's go back to our game.
This is just the beginning of the game,
where the new main stage begins.
Comrades, do everything and heat up this game!
Zero, The Bravest Money Game Stage 7
Now, the tenth question. Hiroshi, you will be the one to answer.
Right, it's my turn.
Hiroshi, choose one letter.
What should I choose?
In addition to the previous questions, namely A,
the remaining Anchor questions are...
C, H, and O.
I must not let those letters be chosen by Hiroshi.
How do I tell him without getting caught by Kotaro?
Hiroshi...
Be careful...
...and look on what you choose.
What?
Yuki. -What?
Look on what you choose.
What?
Look on the letters I choose?
No.
He said the same thing twice.
I remembered something. The way he paused when speaking.
About the "I want to live" part?
That's a hidden message written upside down.
Mirror?
Then "look on what you choose" is ...
Please. Don't choose the Anchor C, H, O questions...
...but instead choose the letters in the bottom row!
That is "n, da, no, ta, shi", if read from below...
"Bottom row"!
Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up!
I choose V!
Nice!
Damn. Four are the hardest levels!
It's just fine. Anything besides Anchor questions won't be a problem.
Four.
You're smart, Hiroshi. Surely, you will succeed.
Is it okay?
The question.
The volume of the Tokyo Dome is 1,240,000 cubic meters,
if you use it to dredge the oceans on Earth.
Then how many times do you need to dredge it?
What?
How do I know that?
Hiroshi is right.
What?
That question cannot be asked.
How many domes does the ocean fill? Who can answer that?
There should be a second part of the question.
Choose these five choices.
"1.1 trillion, 11 trillion, 110 trillion, 1.1 quadrillion, 11 quadrillion "
Trillion?
I couldn't know from those five choices.
The Earth's surface area of about 0.5 square kilometers of the ocean,...
...covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface.
The average depth of the ocean is 3,800 meters...
...so the answer is ...
I know! Zero.
Why ask for help? I'll assume your answer is wrong!
There are five choices and one of them is the right answer.
I give you an easy one!
Solve by yourself.
Number three!
The correct answer is number one, about 1.1 trillion dredges.
Congratulations.
You get four points down!
Who's being smart?
Now, it's Zero's turn.
I hope you have a strategy.
I'll give Zero a special and unsolved question.
Then, that's good.
Clever question.
I choose Q.
Answering Anchor questions correctly are of no use on this moment.
I have to get points up.
Okay, the question.
Look on the screen.
Already seen? Okay, you've seen it.
The pile of coins are the contents of my wallet that I placed.
I'll take one coin from the pile and hold it.
There is a coin in my hand.
What is this coin?
-That's the question? - Yes, friend.
What coin is in my hand?
That is not a puzzle! You asked Zero to guess that?
- Look who's talking! That is not a puzzle! You asked Zero to guess that?
Answer it by guessing and there's no need to think about it.
This is needed for the battle in this Dream Kingdom.
You need a feeling that dominates your life, you need lots of ideas!
This doesn't make sense.
I can't just let God determine my fate.
By the way, the Japanese coins consist of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, five yen and one yen.
There are six types.
So, what coin do I hold?
The coin you hold is ...
For example...
Quarter.
That means 25 cents of American money.
American Coins?
Or ten cents, five cents and one cent.
One of them, right?
On what basis?
Are there really six types of Japanese coins?
You are really bad but you just told me that...
....obviously, you want me to think it's a Japanese coin.
You didn't put the pile of coins haphazardly.
The coin is arranged as if you were hiding underneath it.
In addition, your full name is...
Kotaro Hillmountain Williams Harrison Jaguar Satake James Shiroyama, right?
This means your grandfather or father is an American.
The long name is just a joke.
My real name is Kotaro Shiroyama!
Why take it seriously?
Kotaro...
with that in mind...
...the coin you hold must be an American coin.
Your imagination is very high.
That's all I can conclude. Now God determines.
Also...
The coin that you bring to this gambling-like game...
...is rarely seen in America, a rare one-dollar coin...
...or a coin nicknamed a lucky penny, a penny coin.
Which one?
The one penny coin that brings you luck!
Show what's in your hands, Kotaro!
One-dollar coin.
You're almost right!
Damn!
How did he almost answer it right?
Even though it's a silly question!
But I managed to corner them.
The points down are directly related to his death.
He will face his death in a minute.
Next is Yuki.
You.
We have eight points down.
Avoid Anchor, C, H, and O questions.
Understand my words! Select the bottom row.
OK. Yuki, choose one letter!
In that case...
Please don't choose it!
I choose C.
OK.
That's an Anchor question!
What now?
This is the worst situation!
Alright, the anchor will stop for a while.
I think we will die.
If the anchor drops eight points, we will die.
Why do you say that like it's not your business?
Our lives are all in danger! Keep trying!
I told you, I don't care about other people's lives.
If I can't get the 100 billion, my life will end here.
What?
I'll do my best to answer it correctly.
Only for myself.
He didn't say much about himself...
...but before he came here, his business failed and he had a lot of debt.
So what? He looks too tough.
He doesn't look like he's in financial trouble.
In fact, I think he came from a rich family.
He is also handsome.
It has nothing to do with that.
The more money he uses, the more he loses.
He can die whenever he wants,
...he can do anything as he has nothing to lose.
That's what he said.
He is the opposite of Zero.
Why is that?
Zero protects others and he tries to survive.
Okay, this is the Anchor question.
Calculate this in ten seconds.
-Just ten seconds? - Start!
Ten, nine,
-eighth, seven, six, five, four... -That's 105, 110 ...
-three, two, one. -120, 215 ...
Time has run out!
Wrong.
Ten details are too complex.
The correct answer is 31,320.
I can't do it.
It ended already.
You idiot!
Anchor dropped by eight points.
Too bad, but this is a game, I have no power.
I have to give up.
No way! I don't want to die!
Put your hands down.
The anchor might not hit us. It's only above us.
You are so naive! Sorry, but it's over.
Anchor dropped by eight points because of him.
Lower your arms and push your head down.
Look, Kotaro still hasn't pressed the button.
He just acted. We are safe, he is playing with us.
On the contrary.
It's almost over, I don't want to part with this.
Besides, I can't torture a dead person.
Hiroshi, do you want me to save you?
"Please save me, Mr. Kotaro Shiroyama,"
If you beg sincerely, I will save you.
Really?
I'm just kidding!
Zero, you shouldn't be defeated by this jerk.
You can't die here!
Hiroshi.
Yes, I will sacrifice myself.
My head...
My head is hard, if I stop the anchor with it ...
Don't be silly.
I want to help you, Zero.
Win this game and get 100 billion yen.
But this is over.
Hiroshi, don't raise your head!
Now.
Die.
Hiroshi!
Are you okay?
That's the way it is.
But my forehead hurts.
What is your deal?
Do you want to make us continue suffering?
Sorry, Zero.
I want to stop the anchor with my life, but I'm afraid even though I don't want to.
Don't be stupid!
I'm such a small-minded person.
Hiroshi, I said I would get you out of here alive, right?
You and Yuki.
What?
I promise to get you out of here alive.
Zero.
I'm amazed you can be sure in a situation like this.
Amazing, guys! You've almost died.
You barely survived!
Congratulations!
That's what I want to say, but it's too late.
The anchor is in front of you, and very close.
In situations like this...
...people cannot think because of their fear.
I'm not afraid.
What?
Give me the worst question.
Kotaro, believe me, I will solve the following question!
Worst? What do you mean?
- Yuki. - What?
I want to bet.
Bet?
Believe me, I will answer the next question correctly.
So, will you entrust your life to me for a moment?
What?
Are you ready to die for money? That's absurd!
I won't let you die without my permission!
Yuki chose C from the Anchor question...
...the only advantage of that is ...
...Kotaro can be fooled and he doesn't know ...
... that I'm aware of any of those letters.
He would think if Yuki knew, he would not choose him in such situation.
So, their position is the same;
... the Anchor question I can choose...
... is O and H.
I'll choose it and solve it.
Are you sure you will be able to solve my question?
This person might be able to succeed.
Fine, the show must be continued, guys.
Question 13. We'll start from Hiroshi.
But my forehead hurts!
I choose... W!
Three-point question.
What?
Seeing the relationship between arrows and numbers,
What is the number on the right if the left side is one?
Answer in 20 seconds.
Relationship?
The last number of all is 6.
So if that is 1, the number next to it is 16 ...
- You can do it! So if that is 1, the number next to it is 16 ...
- You can do it!
No. Looking at the ratio, it should be 26.
The question is easier than that. Be calm.
Multiply the first number by two, then add six.
It means...
The answer is... eight!
Right.
But...
Why? The answer is eight!
But you told him the answer, Zero!
"The question is easier than that?"
I'll let it just pass if you just give encouragement,
But you gave hints which break the rules!
Your accusations aren't true!
I am the host and the one who sets the rules.
As a punishment, you don't get a turn, Zero.
What?
I think you're scared.
Zero says, he will answer the next question correctly.
Then, you're scared and don't want to deal with Zero.
No, I collect points down...
...so that Zero will kill his friends.
What?
I prepared a special question.
More unsolved than before. He won't be able to do it.
You're really sure of that.
Of course.
Because the question is from my own soul.
I'll face Zero with a special question.
That is the Anchor question.
You mean, Zero will choose Anchor questions?
Zero knows the Anchor question is "anchor",
...that is A, N, C, H, O, and R.
I guess so, too.
Zero will definitely choose Anchor questions during his turn.
That's when I will attack.
He will answer my special question, anchor will go down, and will hit his head.
They will die and wrongly blame Zero.
Zero will kill his friends...
...even though he says he will protect them!
I choose X.
Disappointed not to have a turn, but it's still advantageous. He avoided the Anchor question.
Which one of these sweets is the sweetest?
What?
Number one?
Correct answer, number three.
Camilian Ohagi who is also called "half-dead".
I choose Y!
Next is my turn. I have got points going up.
Everyone knows there are stars on the US and Chinese flags.
But besides the two countries...
...mention ten other countries that have starred flags.
Ten...
Your answer will be totally wrong even if only one country is wrong.
This is difficult.
Can he do it?
Australia...
Ghana...
Chile...
Singapore, Turkey, Cuba. New Zealand.
Vietnam...
Algeria...
Syria!
Nice!
Right.
Hiroshi is stupid!
My father is a diplomat.
He asked me to memorize the flags when I was little.
But I'm not that totally smart, so I can't be a diplomat.
Thank you, Hiroshi!
Now, we have hope.
I'm not useless, right, Zero?
Yes.
I will be glad to remember it!
Because of Hiroshi's stupid life story,
... I saw you flirting today!
Are you a couple?
But after this, Zero will choose the Anchor question.
I will take advantage of the three riding points that Hiroshi got.
Next person,
...Zero, choose one letter.
Choose the Anchor question!
I choose... H!
That's an Anchor question!
Okay, that's the Anchor question.
Does he read my mind?
Three points go up and four points go down.
The lives of your dear friends are now in danger.
You have to answer it right, you can't be wrong with this.
Whatever you do.
Seeing him very calm, he might know it.
But I will answer. Whatever the question.
Okay. Friend.
There is an engraved word inside on my waist.
A word on your waist?
Ah, I was naughty when I was little.
State what that engraved word is.
How do we know?
He can do it.
Zero's imagination is incomparable.
Young and naughty?
Tattoos?
When did you have it?
During high school!
During good times in high school.
Tattooed high school students?
It is a permanent school known as the den of naughty children.
Yeah.
I have done a lot of crazy things.
That word is one of them.
You're crazy not to delete it when you grow up.
I will not erase it.
It reminded me of my pleasant adolescence.
Yes. I have many followers as well as men!
You are lazy.
What?
You're lacking, right?
What?
Kotaro...
In my opinion, you're not good at fighting,
...but you don't seem to be popular either.
You are too bad.
How can you have subordinates?
Don't try to boast about talking about the past.
You don't have any friends, let alone subordinates.
That seems clear.
You're glad we fought, and were upset when we helped each other.
That's ridiculous!
My guess is right? Your face turns red.
If what I said was wrong, you can hold it against yourself and forget it.
Could the word on your waist...
...tattooed by self-affliction?
Stand up!
I cannot.
Nobody else made it. But you made it alone.
If someone else made it, they will tattoo a bad word, like a dog or a fool.
Maybe a long time ago, your mind was cunning and weird.
But if you boast after adulthood,
... it's not just a shameful word.
Kotaro, that is a message that you hid.
Your only victory when you suffer is abused.
Words that your evil abusers are not aware of,
...words that humble them,
...and avenge your heart upon them quietly.
"Kotaro Shiroyama".
I know one word that can be on your waist.
What?
That word is...
"Shiro" in Shiroyama!
Written upside down.
Please free me with this.
He did it by himself.
Hey, Kotaro, he said upside down.
"Shiro".
Become "Roshi" if read from behind.
"Ko", "Roshi", "Taro".
"Koroshitaro", I'll kill you.
You stupid.
They don't know what that means.
I didn't know that before.
Nobody knows ...
My answer is correct, right, Kotaro?
Shut up. Shut up!
Looks like I have to see it.
Show that word.
I won't.
This is an order. Show it only to me.
Geez! What is that?
Very embarrassing!
Is that a special question that you prepared?
Zero knew it immediately.
Zero... I swear I will kill you!
You are really pitiful.
I'll give you a better way.
- The anchor is up? - Yes.
Up by three points.
You're amazing, Zero! Solve questions like that.
Come on, let's get out of here alive.
For some reason, you scared me.
What?
OK!
Comrades, let's continue this game.
What was that?
I choose L.
Question.
The highest dam in Japan is Kurobe Dam.
Then, where is the biggest dam in the Netherlands?
Is that a question for kids?
In the capital city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam.
No, that's the area.
Rotterdam!
I choose U!
The question.
What does the official name ODA stands for?
The official name...
of ODA is...
That's for four points,
... the hardest level question?
I chose O.
This is an Anchor question!
Huh? What's wrong?
You look confused right now.
He knew I knew it,
...So, he changed the placement of the Anchor question.
I won't let you choose the Anchor question again.
The question.
Question 19.
Which one is a frog's child?
Tadpole.
Really! You're right!
Give him questions that little children know so that he will get upset.
Even though he answers correctly and gets points,
...it's no use if he doesn't choose the Anchor question.
After Zero felt helpless and hopeless,
...he would lose his life because of his friend's mistake.
Your idea is great, Goneko-chan!
You're right.
But, I told you to stop calling me "Goneko-chan".
I choose F.
The question.
The closest star to Earth is the sun.
Then, what is the name of the second closest star...
...and how far is it from the Earth?
The star is...
Proxima Centauri...
... the distance ...
Damn it!
I choose M!
The question.
"The ideal bride in three countries"...
and "the luckiest man in three countries" are sayings.
What are these three countries?
That is...
America...
Correct answer: Japan, China, India.
There are 12 points down?
How scary the 12 points are.
To reduce it a bit, Zero...
...choose one letter.
The remaining moves are A which is outside the panel and,
...E, K, P and I.
The remaining two Anchor questions.
But the template was moved,
...not necessarily that A is the Anchor question.
If so,
...the Anchor question is two of the letters E, K, P and I,
...that means the opportunity is two to one.
I choose I.
He won't let it be chosen.
There are 12 points down.
If Yuki or Hiroshi chose the Anchor question after this...
It's over.
-What?
The question.
What sweet object falls from the sky?
Rain.
It's not that hard.
Rain!
Yes, you're right!
It's your turn, Yuki.
I choose...
...K.
Yuki, that's an Anchor question.
Trust me. I'll solve it.
What?
I can be the strongest one if I'm not afraid to die.
But I changed a little after I arrived here.
Who will win at the end...
...That person must be someone who has something to protect.
I don't care about my life.
But I want to show respect for your passion.
I will try my best to solve it.
I trust you in the next round.
But it's too late.
What?
I just realized...
...we can't win this game.
We will never win?
What do you mean?
They manipulate points for questions...
...and anchor question positions.
So cunning that we won't be able to win.
But that's not certain! If I answer correctly ...
Why are you giving up?
You say you will get us alive!
If I can't do anything, we can't win.
Your friends can't be relied upon, Zero?
You will die because of your useless friends!
I've thought about it carefully, but I can't find a way to win!
Zero ...
I'll solve it.
The question.
In 15 seconds,
...mention eight four-character idioms...
...the ones that appear twice.
Start.
No way!
I don't want to die!
Calm down.
Once in a lifetime,...
...it's appropriate and inappropriate...
...communication from heart to heart.
-Reduced... -It's impossible!
It's now over!
Time has run out!
Your death comes quickly and easily for you, Zero.
Die, Zero.
Goodbye!
What?
Has it fallen?
This...
The anchor is on the platform.
I'm glad he didn't realize 12 points were actually too low.
Yuki, I made you panic...
...so you will answer it incorrectly, forgive me.
-You made me answer it incorrectly? -Yes.
It's okay to do that to survive in this situation.
Did you make him answer wrongly? Don't be silly!
You don't know the platform will stop the anchor from falling!
I calculated the distance from the start.
30 kg anchor weight,
...made specifically and commonly used on ships.
The distance from the elbow to my fingertip is 45 cm,
...plus my other hand that touches the anchor,
So, from the elbow to the finger...
...the distance is 45 cm plus the distance of 27 cm,
...for a total of 72 cm. That's the distance from the start.
After that, the anchor is placed just above our heads.
Well, that's the place specified. Remember that.
At that time, our heads were five centimeters tall,
plus the length of my head, 17 cm...
... the total distance became 22 cm,
...we got closer to the anchor.
So, 72 cm minus 22 cm.
When the game starts, the anchor is placed...
...about 50 cm above our heads.
After that, one point dropped...
when the first Anchor question was missed,
seven points when we failed the second,
...and eight points when we failed the third.
When the anchor drops 16 points in total,
...anchor was almost two centimeters above our faces.
That means, for 16 points, the anchor drops 48 cm.
After that it's easy.
If 48 is divided by 16, the result is three.
In other words,
...anchors move up or down three centimeters per point.
After that, the anchor rises nine centimeters,
...so, the distance becomes 11 cm.
There are 12 points down.
It's over.
I realized if the anchor dropped 12 points,
...it would meant 36 cm.
In such situations,
...it means 36 minus 11, so, 25 centimeters below us.
The anchor will drop lower than our head...
...and stab the platform where we lay.
That's the calculation that saved us.
Calculations that save us.
I told you...
...I will get you out alive.
You have outsmarted me.
Right. I thought you gave up.
Sorry, to distract Kotaro I was forced to...
No!
I don't accept this.
See!
There are still a few questions.
Kotaro.
I will change the remaining questions into a yes or no question.
If answered correctly, then the anchor will be above your head again.
It's over.
What?
We choose to answer wrong by spending time.
The anchor won't rise again.
We won, Kotaro.
If so,... I'll change the time, the time becomes...
- Stop it. If so,... I'll change the time, the time becomes...
- Stop it.
It's clear who won.
Zaizen...
Release them.
Persistent man.
Do you even read what's behind his mind?
What?
Ten points?
If Yuki answers Anchor's question right,
...and we answer all the remaining questions,...
...the anchor will be on our faces,
...so, we will get a temporary victory.
But that is, if the highest points are four.
Kotaro can't let us win like that.
He can manipulate the panel behind us,
...he can change points as much as he wants.
If we try to solve the question to the end, only death will come.
Is that why you say we won't win?
It's okay not to win, as long as we survive.
Mineko.
You say about having good and bad sides,
...but with too much injustice...
...it will destroy the reputation of the Zaizen Group.
The game will be fun because it's entertaining.
My apologies, Chairman.
I don't want to finally be like this!
You want to kill Zero, right? Give me one more chance.
I won't call you "Goneko-chan" anymore!
Who is this fool?
I don't know this person.
What?
Take him out!
Come on!
Kotaro, it's time to delete the word on your waist.
That's none of your business! Idiot!
Wait...
You will pay me, right? Where should I charge the bill?
Charge it to Fukumoto at Zaizen Group!
This is your ring for a temporary victory.
You survived,
...so cheer me up again.
They still haven't come out yet?
Mr. Chikara also disappeared.
Zero, Hiroshi!
You win?
You succeeded!
Why is your forehead hurt?
That's a wound of honor.
What? I'm still alive.
I did not kill Zero.
It is clear.
Now, we are break even.
Your conversation is enigmatic.
Let's go.
Zero, I haven't given up the 100 billion yen.
But, congratulations for today.
Congratulations.
"Mount Fuji's Spring"
Are you ready?
I can not.
What game did you play?
I immediately failed.
I don't want to talk about it.
Wait.
You have a ring?
Yes.
It must be because of Zero.
Looks like we can't do it without Zero.
I want to become a stronger man.
What if you taste a bit of this?
This is the product of the Zaizen Group fitness club,
...ZAIZEP protein drink.
This is for you.
Then, let's enjoy it.
Everyone, this is the right time for us to work together!
I learned something after coming to this Dream Kingdom.
We must support each other,
...that's when we can stand as humans for the first time!
We need many people to form groups.
Come forward together...
...to a new chapter...
...which can only be achieved by those who are full of love...
and help each other!
Take the chance!
Mr. Suezaki?

"First of all, you will all die.
There is only one way to come out alive...
...that is to eliminate the witch's curse.
Trust Zero.
The walls are moving!
I am the killer witch.
No! Stop!
