There is only one way for 21 captives to come out alive,
that is by revoking the witch's curse in this room.
You lied to us!
We mistakenly trusted his answer!
- You are not our leader! - You are not our leader!
"Death"
It's a curse, shadowy writing!
[ ENTER ]
The number 24 you choose is...
"SAFE"
Just now, someone got the fourth ring.
That person is...
Congratulations, Shirube.
Very good.
Now, we have a young king.
As the name implies,
he will be the new leader in leading the Zaizen Group.
But it's rather boring if it's finally like this.
What?
You're not satisfied too, right?
What I'm looking for is a man who was recently really involved towards the end,
someone who is like a snake.
With all due respect, Sir, extend this game...
I'm not worried about that.
I will win again.
That kid is the winner?
Are we all disqualified?
Am I already late?
- What? - We've tried hard.
Have we failed?
- Hey. - There he is.
Shirube-kun.
But,
the game isn't over yet.
We will give you 20 minutes extension of time.
If you can get four rings at that time,
you can advance to the final round.
Final round?
The person who gets four rings will fight last time in the final round to win 100 billion yen.
The real king will be chosen after that.
The countdown starts now.
That means we still have a chance?
It's impossible to do it in 20 minutes!
Let's find a game!
I will wait for you in the final round.
Shirube-kun!
I thought about your words about defeating Zaizen.
Will you join me?
Let's beat Zaizen together.
His power is immeasurable. We can't beat him.
Do you have a strategy?
I will start a cyber terror attack.
Balancing power in the world...
That's funding is needed,
for the effort to build a new country.
Is it true?
That's reckless. Too risky!
You will neglect your life during the process if you do it.
I told you. I don't mind dying.
If I care about my life, I can't change the world.
That's why I'm here.
What did Shirube-kun say?
We must get the ring fast! Time is just limited!
Zero only needs one more. Let's find a way to advance to the final!
I have to stop Shirube-kun.
What?
Let's find a game.
Be careful when walking, damn it!
Two more. I need two more rings.
You got it?
Getting four rings means we'll compete against Shirube.
- Can you win? - How dare you!
But maybe he can win.
Zero?
A long waiting line!
Lost Ring?
- It's impossible. - Impossible?
When Zero and Hiroshi played in Anchor, I tried this alone.
You said, you immediately lost.
What is it like?
Come here.
In short, this is treasure hunting.
It's a game looking for mini rings in this room.
The game starts now.
The time is three minutes and in total there are three mini rings.
We can exchange the mini ring with the original ring.
No way!
That means we can get a maximum of three rings?
No wonder, there were many participants.
They have to get it in one game.
But it looks suspicious.
Suspicious?
I was upset because I couldn't find it, so, I watched from the outside afterwards.
None of the participants got the ring.
He said there were no rings in the room.
I have decided. I will play this.
But...don't you listen to me?
- You have to queue right away! - No.
I won't line up now.
Eh? I don't understand.
Why?
I'm asking for your help.
Let's ask those who have played it.
What I need now is information.
The clerk took me to a place like a warehouse.
Warehouse?
He said, can you get three rings?
Yes.
No, I heard someone got a ring in the game.
Impossible!
Can you say what the man in the room said, in details?
I don't really remember, but there were three mini rings hidden in the room.
It seems like there is a different room.
Like Chikara said, I heard nobody found a ring.
About that...
According to what I heard, someone got a ring.
What? Did someone have it?
Chikara, you said no one have it.
But someone got a ring.
What is this? The information is different.
Does this information help?
I wonder how...
Zero, this is bad! Time is running out!
- Let's go. - Come on, quickly.
But the line is long, it's too late to go back there.
What? Only two people?
I knew it.
When there is less time, waiting in line behind means they don't want to wait for their turn.
They realize that and go to another game.
Now, it's time to queue up.
What is this?
Where is the ring?
Hey, you did not hide the ring, right?
Damn you!
Next participant.
Three more minutes.
You're the last participant.
How about me?
He is the last one.
- We also can't play! - Yes, we can.
I am waiting right now.
What?
- Go in. - Wait.
Will you let me play?
What? Of course not! You're stupid, huh?
Now, do you want to?
Now, you have four rings.
Yes! Ring! Four!
Do you allow me to play?
Certainly! I'll let you play.
I'm the last participant.
Okay!
Yes!
One hundred billion! I got the 100 billion!
Yes.
It's clear he chose not to play and got a ring.
Zero struggles to get the ring.
It's easy to just let the ring goes and persuade that person.
Zero is truly amazing!
Come in.
Good luck, Zero!
Promise me that you will get three rings.
Let's go to the final!
Zero, The Bravest Money Game Stage 9
It's full of garbage.
Too bad.
Among the randomly selected rooms, you got the hardest.
I'll tell you the rules.
In this room, three mini rings, like this, are hidden somewhere.
You have three minutes to play, after I say "start".
I'll replace the ring that you found with the original afterwards.
You get one if you find one, two if you find two, and three if you find three.
It's the same.
You get one if you find one, two if you find two...
His words are the same as that man.
Are there any hints from the instructions given?
I'll leave when the game starts.
Then, search this room well.
OK, start.
What? I explained it well.
Is this the hardest room?
You say that as if another room is easy.
Did anyone find a ring in this game?
That is...
That's wrong, right?
What?
Rumors of someone getting a ring in this game are fake information given by management.
If no one gets any ring they do, of course they become suspicious.
So what?
You mean, there are no rings in this room and we cheated?
That's...
...not true, in a smart way.
You could say, there's no cheating.
You didn't lie.
When you tell me the rules...
In this room, three mini rings. like this are hidden somewhere.
The rings are here.
The three rings are in this room.
But the ring is arranged in such a way that it suddenly disappears as soon as you say "start".
So...
Okay, start.
The ring is outside when the door is closed.
The ring is on the door handle.
I knew it.
You're greatly already aware of it.
Yes, I have to thank my friends.
- Zero. - Zero.
You have four rings!
Yes!
It's easy. But I barely made it.
Four!
Did you succeed?
In the end, is this a one on one battle between you and that child?
Congratulations on qualifying for the finals.
Get 100 billion yen, Teacher!
Beat that smart boy.
No.
What?
I just...
I just want to stop Shirube-kun.
Really?
That child, Shirube-kun, is amazing.
He really wants to start a revolution?
Shirube.
I know, I didn't choose you wrongly.
The scale of the conversation is too big, so, I don't understand.
But the child is not too strong.
So, please protect him.
Only you can stop Shirube-kun, Zero.
I'll go now.
Damn it!
What? There must be a trick!
How do I know?
Let go! Damn you!
Is this the final place?
Zero, don't lose the game.
Shirube-kun
Move out on the way.
I have come, Shirube-kun.
...but the main actor has appeared.
The game held here...
...is entitled Breakdown.
We will collect rings before the game starts.
What?
Then, for the new opponents, I'll let you know the rules again.
There are four boxes placed in front of you, and the ring you get is put in each box.
The boxes are easy to be broken.
As a way to protect those boxes,
we will give you eight iron-plated caps...
...called Eight Guards.
Your opponent doesn't know which box is guarded based only from the appearance, even if you put it in the box.
Use Guard only once...
...while looking at your opponent's protected box.
Break your opponent's box with a hammer.
The first to break the box containing the ring is the winner.
You can attack once in one round and there are three rounds.
If no one wins until the end of the game, the participant with the remaining Guards will win.
The game starts after you decide who will attack first by using roulette.
Who will play?
Not me.
Is that so? Then, it would be me.
Red for Shirube, and blue for you.
Alright, Shirube (red) will attack first.
Well, the game starts now.
Zero started being the defense.
Is that a good start?
You mean, is attacking or defending first would be advantageous?
Attacking first is advantageous, right?
Yes, the boy's first attack defeated his opponent before this.
First attack?
He can immediately find it out.
That child is truly a genius.
Four boxes and three rounds.
If I try to protect all the boxes, I will lose eight guards after two rounds.
But if I have a box without Guard and Shirube-kun knows it in the first round,
my turn will end and I can't even attack.
My main priority now is to reduce the risk to zero.
He immediately used four guards at the beginning? That's a coward thing.
It's not bad.
He wants to fully defend and see how Shirube attacked.
Habits look easy.
Will he attack the box on the edge or in the middle?
I want to see the way Shirube tends to attack.
First round.
Shirube will attack.
Please do the offense.
I don't want to.
- What? - Not?
Why not?
Because the four boxes are guarded.
It's useless to attack.
Great!
Amazing, Master Shirube!
He read Zero's tactics.
We'll change the roles.
My plan failed.
I can't even see his habit of attacking, worst is I lost four guards.
"First Round, Zero's Attack"
Only one.
What?
In my defense round, I only use one Guard.
If you hit the other three, you will win, Zero.
Why did he give me a clue?
No. He might lie by saying he only use one Guard.
But it may be true that one box or more are not with same status.
If he takes care of all the boxes, he doesn't have to say that just to mess up my mind.
He flinched!
Only a glance, but he glanced at the box at the edge.
Did he consciously look at the unprotected box?
That one, as I thought!
Yes!
What did he do? There are three unattended boxes!
Damn! The kid wins just by glancing at the box!
He used one guard and bluffed? Brave one, huh?
I tried to read his facial expressions, but instead caught in his trap.
I let him lead myself to break the only guarded box.
He is just staying still.
No.
The expression that was shown off by Shirube to me was a trap.
What will you do now, Zero?
The second half, Shirube attacks.
Zero defends.
May I ask?
What?
When you attacked, how do you know that the four boxes are guarded?
Do you want to know?
Yes.
Because I can't see your fluctuations.
Fluctuations?
I can see it.
Since I was a child, for some reason, I could see fluctuations and gaps in events.
Natural instinct is extremely sharp.
It's dangerous if I'm careless when facing Shirube.
Three boxes have guards, while one box is not guarded.
If I don't save one Guard in the third round...
...and Shirube keeps the four boxes after this,
all my boxes won't be taken care of.
Everything will end at that time.
He seems to lose the initiative at this moment.
Having four guards at one round has a bad effect.
Do not say that!
Shirube.
Don't be affected. Keep calm.
Keep calm.
Impressive.
You can't put guards for all four boxes this time,
but I can barely see you fluctuating.
But you fluctuate a little.
There might be one box that is not guarded.
You use three guards this time.
Now, you have one guard.
I have seven guards.
Even though you survive in this round, you still won't win, Zero.
Shirube, I'm amazed.
You're brilliant.
Much more brilliant than me.
But you have your followers and you ask me to work with you.
Will you join me?
You want to have friends, right?
You feel less confident because you are alone.
No. I tried to use you.
Do you want to use someone to change the world?
If I can't trust them, I can only use them.
No matter how much power you use, the world will never change.
There will be more people who can't trust you.
You will only get enemies!
I don't want you risking your life for something like this.
Then, where can I find someone whom I can trust?
Where can I find adults who are ready to change the world?
Second round, Zero attacks. Please start.
Second Round, Zero's Attack
No need to think.
Every box is guarded.
I put four guards in this defense round.
Right, Shirube has seven guards.
Even though he uses four now, there are still three more.
Right. As he said, all the boxes were guarded.
Of course, Shirube is able to use four guards.
He was finally cornered.
My situation is precarious.
Does he have a plan?
No, he is at the limit of his capacity.
The remaining number of guards is one to three.
I really don't benefit.
But there's still one thing I want to say to Shirube.
"Third Round, Shirube's Attack"
Third round, Shirube attacks. Please start.
You're calm considering you only have one Guard.
You said there were no reliable adults,
...but could you try to trust me?
You're not alone.
Everyone here might think the same thing with you.
What?
I understand.
I'm sure you can see lots of fluctuations and abundant gaps in this world.
I can see it too.
Not as much as you, but actually, I can see that.
Everyone can too.
This world is not fair and many things are wrong.
That's why people like Zaizen have power,
but on the other hand,
people who live honestly,
even think of suicide.
That's how the world is,
...that's why people think being rich and powerful is the purpose of their lives.
We have endangered our lives to fight,
but instead of 100 billion yen,
the lives of everyone here are more valuable.
If someone forgets that for all his life, he must live as a slave to money and power.
I want to protect you from a world like that.
Then, it will be your turn to protect others afterwards.
Protect me?
Shirube, if you want to change the world, start by protecting yourself.
You must value your life.
I can't let you win.
I will stop you here.
Your stance is very disadvantageous and you only have one guard.
Okay.
I can't see fluctuations because your attention isn't in the box.
Because you only look at me.
If so, I will feel it in another way.
I will find out where you place the Guard.
Zero!
I also hate this world!
I also want to change it!
I don't want to be a slave for money!
- Zero! - Zero!
Everything... This is bad.
Really?
- Zero! - Zero!
Zero, change this world!
If you don't save us, we won't be here now!
You have at least changed our world, Zero!
- Zero! - Zero!
Please! Hit the guarded box!
Please!
- Zero! - Zero!
Yes!
-That's a reflief! - Thankfully!
This is a miracle. He kept his ring with only one Guard.
Yes, but if he can't hit the ring in the next attack, he will lose.
Zero's Guard has already run out.
He almost lost.
It will end in the next round.
Huh?
Because I gave Shirube a small present.
Present?
I prepared a fake box for him.
It would look like there's a Guard in it, but actually it's just a box.
Zero thinks too much, so, the more obvious the trap is, the easier he is to be fooled.
"Third Round, Zero's attack" Third Round, Zero attacks. Please start.
What's with that box? I can see the Guard on it.
Is the box broken?
It's impossible for Shirube not to realize it.
Three boxes are guarded.
Then...
This is an unguarded box.
What is this?
If this is a trap, this is too obvious.
Is that a guarded box or it is just a disguised one?
If the box is not guarded as Shirube said, why did he tell me?
What would you do?
No, that's not it.
Why am I hesitating?
There's no need to think from the beginning.
This is my decision, Shirube.
Shirube smiled?
Did he broke it?
He broke it!
Zero wins!
My best friend!
Why?
Shirube said it wasn't guarded and he hitted it?
He realized that the box was fake?
That's not it.
Zero might just want to trust Shirube.
If you think about it again, the boy was telling the truth from the start.
I used one guard in this defensive round.
I used four guards in this defensive round.
Three boxes are guarded and this one is not.
All the numbers of Guards which he said were true.
Then what does that mean?
He tested Zero.
Shirube placed a box with a fake lid at the end,
He just put it as it is to test if Zero trust his words or not.
That's right.
Whether Zero is an adult he can trust or not.
Deep in your heart, you've been looking for someone you can trust.
If you think about it, you chose Sunao as a teammate in the triangular room,
Because you know he won't betray you.
Shirube.
Don't worry, I'll continue to do what you want to do.
I will change the world in a different way from you.
My friends, too.
Goodbye.
Let's meet again someday.
Zero!
You succeeded!
One hundred billion!
Great!
Hurray!
He won, but somehow it pisses me off.
I agree.
Hurray!
Congratulations.
Then, please meet Zaizen.
Congratulations.
You are my son now.
Smart kid.
I'll hit your head.
Kneel before me.
Never.
You keep me entertained, as usual.
That's hypocrite.
It's okay to be a hypocrite.
This is what I like from Zero.
Heroes with integrity and care for their friends.
But that's only because they are someone you don't have, Zero.
From now on,
you will get power and wealth,
and you will also change.
You will have great power...
...and understand my thoughts and strategies more than others.
You will be my replica.
I don't see Sabbath.
You're wrong about one thing.
My character is not flawless.
I'm not a hero who cares about his friends.
Come on, don't act bad.
If you are not a hypocrite...
Zaizen?
Sir!
Sir! Hold on!
So, Zero gets the 100 billion?
Nice!
He won't give you a penny.
-I just want a little. - Just a little?
Let me see...
-Thirty yen. - Yes, 30 yen. Hey!
Zero's here!
Zaizen fainted?
Yes.
He seems to have a heart attack.
What about the 100 billion?
- They're taking it again, right? - No way.
Getting zero, as the name suggests, is really bad!
- Chikara! - It's not funny at all.
Hey! Don't just leave yet!
I mean... Please don't go.
What?
I have something important to say to you.
Please open your eyes, sir.
Prepare the oxygen.
Step back a little.
Don't die!
If you die, the Zaizen Group will belong to Zero!
I can't...
I can't let this end like this.
Zaizen's will?
Mr. Zaizen built the Dream Kingdom to choose his successor.
The will says, if something happens to Mr. Zaizen,
the winner will take over the Zaizen Group with full authority.
That's what was written.
Really?
Zero will have the entire Zaizen group?
It's unexpected and my tongue rolls out.
My legs suddenly weakened.
Zero.
I mean, Teacher, I will follow you all my life.
Don't say that to me suddenly.
What do you mean, teacher?
One hundred billion is hard enough to believe.
Now, you really can change the world, Zero.
Hiroshi!
The game isn't over yet.
I won't let you call yourself the winner of the Dream Kingdom.
Zero, you will face me in the last game.
What? The last game?
Zero has won.
That's right. There is no reason to compete anymore.
Zero, I want you to meet someone.
What?
Zero, I haven't met you for a long time.
Mitsuru.
- Let me take it. - Nope!
- Come on! - Nope!
It's your fault... I lost my dream and everything.
Never appear before me again!
Iron Ball Circle.
I will jump to where you are.
Zero will definitely answer correctly.
Zero, you will face me in the last game. "Zero vs. Mineko"
Zero, you will face me in the last game.
Zero, I haven't met you for a long time.
