My Song [Episode 3]

Hinata: [At Yuri] Alright, can you please give us the down-low on what we found? Yuri: Hm...Angel has been developing her own abilities. She's using the same method we are to make our weapons. Ōyama: What does that mean? Yuri: I'm not sure. I can't say anything for certain. Fujimaki: Why not? You're being a little too vague, Yurripe. Yuri: [Thinking] For her to do things the same way we do; it could mean the worst possible scenario for us. It would mean there is no God. If she's an angel, why doesn't she get her powers from God? Why does she have to develop them for herself? It just doesn't make any sense. Takamatsu: And here's another problem: [Places Iwasawa's acoustic guitar on the table.] where did Iwasawa go? Noda: Didn't Angel obliterate her? Hinata: During her performance? Noda: Then what did you think happened? Ōyama: So, who kidnapped Iwasawa and- Yuri: [Aloud] No one did. She accepted her fate. That's all there is to it.

My Song [Episode 3]

[Thinking] Well, I learned one thing: obeying Angel and enjoying school life wasn't the only way to get obliterated.

Day Game [Episode 4]

Hinata: Shiina! Where are you? Come on out! Shiina! [Notices her hiding behind a wall.] Huh? Shiina: What is it? Hinata: I was looking for you. You've got great reflexes, right? Shiina: I wouldn't know about all that. Hinata: I know you'd be great for the team! It's baseball! Let's play baseball! Shiina: Ever since that day, I keep running it over and over in my head how I could've lost to that newbie. Hinata: Are you talking about the operation "Parachute" to the Guild? Otonashi's become a legend because he was the only survivor. Otonashi: Oh, come on. I was just lucky. Shiina: I just don't get it. I should be stronger than you in every possible way. Otonashi: I bet. Shiina: But if I was inferior to you in any way, it would be in concentration. Otonashi: Nah, I think you have way better concentration than me. Shiina: Ever since that day, [Appears fully from behind the wall, balancing a broom with one finger.] I've been balancing this stupid broom on the tip of my finger! Yui: [Whisper

Favorite Flavor [Episode 5]

Yuri: At last. The time has finally come. Otanashi: What? Is something starting soon? Yuri: Angel's rampage is about to begin. Otanashi: What? What do you mean by "Angel's rampage"? [Shows scene of what Otanashi thinks as "Angel's rampage" with a group of the SSS members fighting Angel fiercely.] But-but...Why is she going on a rampage? Yuri: Because tests are coming up. Otanashi: Uh...Come again? Takamatsu: Think about it. It's of the most vital importance that we attend class and get good grades on our tests, and important that we excel. At least it's important to Angel. [Otanashi's previous theory of what "Angel's rampage" is like is shattered.] Yuri: But this testing period is a perfect chance for us to make Angel flunk her tests. Fujimaki: Sounds to me like you've already got a plan, Yurippie. Come on, let's hear it. Yuri: We'll interfere with all of Angel's tests; make her flunk them. That'll put her as worst student in the whole school. Otanashi: So what happens then? Yuri: She

Favorite Flavor [Episode 5]

Yuri: First off, I'll determine who's participating in this operation. I pulled some strings to get several of us in the same testing room as Angel. Fujimaki: I'm sorry. I don't understand why we don't just surround her? Yuri: Yeah, right! That won't happen! We can't afford any mistakes! If they discover our operation midway, we'll be sent to different classrooms. We won't be able to ensure that Angel gets zeroes. Noda: I see. I'll pass on this mission. This sort of sneaking around stuff is for pussies. Yuri: The participating members will be Takamatsu, Hinata, Ōyama, Takeyama, and Otonashi. Otonashi: Not me, again! Takeyama: [At Yuri] Would you please call me "Christ"? Yuri: [Ignoring Takeyama] I merely chose normal-looking people. Now then, operation start!

Favorite Flavor [Episode 5]

Yuri: Seat arrangements will be decided by lottery the morning of the tests. It'll be hard messing with Angel's tests if we aren't near her. [To Otonashi in the classroom] Listen up. Get the seat right next to hers. Otonashi: Don't ask for the impossible. Hinata: [Grabbing a lotto out of the box.] Gotcha! [Unfolds his lotto] 20? I'm out! Takamatsu: [Holding his lotto] I'm number 11. That's very far from Angel. Ōyama: [Holding his lotto] I'm 33. [Laughing] I'm way off! Otonashi: [Reaching into the box] My turn. [Takes a lotto and reads it] 24. That's awfully far. Yuri: [Holding her lotto cheerfully] Yes! I got 1! [Aggravated] Damn! This stinks! [Stomping on her lotto] Isn't anyone near her, in front of her, or next to her? Takeyama: I'm in front of her. Yuri: Sweet! Takeyama: So, what am I supposed to do? [The group then gathers around Yuri's desk.] Yuri: Alright, I want you to take two answer sheets when they're handed out. Swap the fake one with Angel's when you pass them up to the fr

Family Affair [Episode 6]

Otonashi: He didn't have to lock us for over eating mabu tofu during break! [To Kanade] Where the heck are we, anyway? It's like we're in solitary confinement! Kanade: I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. [Climbs onto the bed in the corner, takes off her shoes, and puts them at the foot of the bed.] Otonashi: Hey! Now isn't the time... Kanade: What else is there to do? Otonashi: But this is messed up! We can't let him lock us up in solitary confinement! Kanade: It's so we'll reflect on the error of our ways. Otonashi: Yeah, but normally people don't sleep in situations like this! Kanade: [Yawning] I'm tired. Good night. [Goes to sleep] Otonashi: She seriously went to sleep! [Sits down on the bed and sighs.]

Family Affair [Episode 6]

Otonashi: What's that sound? An earthquake? Is there a battle? Or help? [Otonashi remembers the two-way radio Yuri gave him.] That's right! [He takes it out of his pocket.] I have this! [Attempts to reach Yuri on the other end.] Yuri! I've been locked up! [No response. Otonashi becomes frustrated.] It's broken! She dumped a piece of junk on me! [Throws the radio on the bed. He then attempts to try and find a way out with no luck.] Yuri: [On radio] Otonashi? Otonashi? Do you copy? Otonashi? [Otonashi rushes over to the radio.] Otoanshi: I hear you! [Otonashi hears another explosion which shakes the room again.] Yuri: I'll assume you can hear me, Otonashi. Listen carefully. Ayato Naoi wasn't an NPC. He's a human with a soul, just like us. Otonashi: That's impossible! Yuri: Doesn't that seem strange? As former vice president, he should have been behaving like a model student. Therefore, he should have gotten obliterated; unable to maintain his human form. But he's cruel. He's been bullyin

Alive [Episode 7]

Hinata: Aw geez, is this elementary school? We're getting nothing but brats! [Referring to Yui] Naoi: I'm sorry, but were you referring to me? I am God. Hinata: Ugh, are you still going on about that? And here you clung into Otonashi and cried like a baby. Naoi: [Glaring at Hinata] Who did you say cried? [Hinata jumps in surprise.] You'll be the one crying. [Hypnotizing Hinata] Come on, realize how useful clothespins are. Hinata: Huh?! Naoi: Despair in your uselessness and inferiority to the clothespins. [Naoi drops a clothespin on the table.] Hinata: C-Clothespin...pin things...They keep clothes from falling and GETTING DIRTY! THEY'RE WONDERFUL! THEY CAN EVEN BE USED AS PAPERCLIPS! THEY'RE SO VERSATILE! WHY AM I IN COMPARISON TO THEM?! I'M NOT WORTHY TO THINK OF IT! I'M NOT WORTHY! [Otonashi picks up Naoi by his collar.] Otonashi: [At Naoi] Look here, don't abuse your hypnotic abilities. Naoi: Otonashi, good morning! Otonashi: What did you do to that poor guy? Naoi: He started it. I w

Dancer in the Dark [Episode 8]

Hinata: Now there are two rampaging Angels. This is worse than our last Operation Parachute. Otonashi: Why were there two of her? Yuri: The clones can use Handsonic and Distortion. That means they can use Harmonics, too. Naoi: You're truly imbeciles, you know that. [At Otonashi] E-Except for you, Otonashi. You're smart! [At Yuri] Allow me to list off the problems for you. Yuri: Please do. Naoi: There are two problems, in fact. First of all, how many clones did the copy make? And if the clones can make more clones, then there's no end to them. Hinata: So, let me get this straight. What you're telling us is that there might be ten or twenty clones, not just two of them? Otonashi: Hold on. I thought Yuri added an additional ability? Aren't the clones supposed to return to the original? Can't we just wait for them to vanish? Naoi: And that would be the second problem. What if they made all these clones before that ability was added? What if THAT was the real issue? [Everyone is in shock by

Dancer in the Dark [Episode 8]

Hinata: Look out! There's another one. Fujimaki: It's the third one. Matsushita: It's a waste of your bullets. [Mastushita walks in front of Yuri and charges at the Kanade clone.] Otonashi: H-Hey! What're you doing?! [The Kanade clone activates Handsonic and stabs Matsushita through the chest while he is blocking her.] SSS Members: Matsushita the Fifth! Matsushita: G-Go. Get outta here while I'm still conscious! Hinata: Wait, you make it sound like you're about to die or something, man! Yuri: Hurry up! Take this opportunity to run for it! [Yuri runs ahead of the Kanade clone and the dying Matsushita with the other SSS members following.] Hinata: Yeah! Fujimaki: Hang in there Matsushita the Fifth! Matsushita: [Shouting] The rest is up to you guys! Yuri: We won't let Matsushita's sacrifice be in vain. Thanks to him, we learned the best method is to keep moving. Angel is small, so pinning her down is the best strategy. No matter how strong Angel is, Judo lock should work on her. Looks lik

Dancer in the Dark [Episode 8]

Otonashi: Will Kanade be alright? Wasn't that injury serious? Yuri: She's the same as us; she'll recover from a fatal injury soon enough. Hinata: Why was there two of her? Has this world gone completely bonkers? Yuri: There's a reason for it. Noda: Such as? Yuri: Don't you guys remember when we infiltrated Angel's domain? Hinata: Yeah? Yuri: Her computer had software for creating new skills. There were several abilities listed she's never used before. Amongst those skills was one called "Harmonics", which has been activated. Otonashi: Harmonics? What type of ability is it? Yuri: Didn't you see the screen? It was a skill that let her replicate herself. It's her clone. Otonashi: Clone?! Takamatsu: Wait a minute. Are you saying Angel made that skill with her software? Fujimaki: But it didn't look like it was an exact copy to me. Hinata: Unlike this one [Referring to the Kanade in bed.] she liked to fight. Why's that? Otonashi: Kanade only uses her powers to defend herself! That goes for h

In Your Memory [Episode 9]

Takamatsu: [To Yuri] This is completely unprecedented. I've never seen someone like this before. There's a distinct possibility that she (Kanade) may never wake up. Yuri: But that in itself would be irregular! She'll wake up! She'll wake up eventually and act as if she's merely overslept. Shiina: But who will she be? When she awakens? [Everyone is surprised that Shiina actually spoke up during the meeting.] Ōyama: That only proves how grave this situation is! Yuri: [To Shiina] You're absolutely right. That's the real problem. Fujimaki: So which Angel will it be? Ōyama: The first one! I say the one we went fishing with! Noda: Yeah, yeah. But the ones that attacked us before were cruel fighting fanatics. Fujimaki: It's one-hundred to one mathematically speaking. Hinata: So you're saying that's why she's unconscious? All those minds are gushed together in her tiny head? Wreaking all sorts of havoc like a horde of jellyfish attacking her mind or is it a gaggle? Ōyama: So, assuming she wake

Goodbye Days [Episode 10]

Otonashi: So what else do you wanna do? Yui: Do I have to tell you? Otonashi: No, not if you don't want to, I guess. Yui: It's okay. I'll tell you. I want to do more than most. Why do you think that is? I don't know. I just do. Otonashi: Well, you know. Because you couldn't do it in life, right? Yui: Yeah, exactly! When I was little, I got hit from behind by a car. After that, I was paralyzed. I was completely bedridden. I couldn't live without help. I was completely reliant on my mom. I felt really bad for her. All I could do was watch TV. When I watched music programs and rock bands, I thought how cool it would be if I could do that. Otonashi: I see. Then isn't this great? Yui: Yep! Otonashi: What else do you wanna do? Yui: Well, I used to watch baseball games a lot too I guess. Otonashi: We just played baseball in the ball tournament. Yui: But I didn't pull it off. Otonashi: A hit? Yui: A home run! Otonashi: What?! So you have to hit a home run? Yui: You bet! I plan on practicing ba

Change the World [Episode 11]

Yuri: Abnormalities are occurring in this world. An enemy aside from Angel has appeared. It's a direct description, but we call them "shadows". Unlike Angel, they can come and go at any time and attack indiscriminately. Anyone devoured by the shadows loses their soul and turns into an NPC who attends class daily. They are currently replicating without end. We don't know what created them and currently have no countermeasures. Just as Yusa told us, everyone should travel in groups for safety. Now then, in the middle of this crisis there are some in the Afterlife Battlefront who have adopted new ideals. They're attempting to lead the Battlefront down a different path. And that different path is a potential escape from the crisis plaguing our world. As such, I would like to ask...I would like to ask Otonashi to serve as representative and explain his viewpoint. [The crowd looks at Otonashi.] Naoi: [To Otonashi] She figured it out. Hinata: [To Otonashi, nudging him to the stage.] Go on. [O

Knockin' on Heaven's Door [Episode 12]

Teacher: -as such, you should memorize this. [Notices Yuri isn't paying attention to the lesson.] Nakamura, what are you looking at? Hitomi: Hey, Yuri! Yuri: Huh? Teacher: Alright, Nakamura. Read from the top of the next page for us. [Yuri stands up from her desk. There is a short pause.] Hm? What now? Yuri: This is really wonderful. Teacher: What are you talking about? Yuri: This is such a happy environment. It's too dazzling for me. This is the way people live their lives. Isn't it just beautiful? I'm envious. If I vanish now, could I start over anew? Could I accept normal happiness? Teacher: Nakamura? Hitomi: Yuri? Yuri: If I lost my memories...and got a different personality...I might be able to. But then, what does it mean to be reborn? That isn't the life I had anymore. It's someone else's life. Everyone only gets to live life one time [Yuri places her hand on her chest.], and it's right here. I only get it once. This is my life. I can't entrust it to someone, I can't steal a new

Knockin' on Heaven's Door [Episode 12]

Otonashi: What's this? Do you need something? Sekine: I guess we're, uh, ready to go? Hisako: Okay, we all agreed with what you had to say, Otonashi. Irie: That's right. We've made up our minds. Hisako: We're that type of group. Irie: We already figured that much anyway. After all, we've lost two vocalists. Sekine: No one could replace Iwasawa and Yui. Hisako: She [Referring to Yui] really was a horrible vocalist. Irie: Every day was fun. Like a festival. Hisako: I think you'll have a harder time with the others. Otonashi: I bet. Hisako: If you're going to do this, see it through. Otherwise, it looks like you've talked us into it. If the Ever Fighting Battlefront disappears from this level of existence, if this strange world fulfills its purpose for everyone, even you, I'll be able to think this was for the best. For a short while, we got to enjoy the youth we never had. I think our time here will have been worth it if we were just supposed to have fun. And isn't that what life's about

Graduation [Episode 13]

Yuri: [To Otonashi] Where am I? What... Otonashi: The infirmary. Yuri: The infirmary? How come you're still here? How long was I out? Kanade: Don't push yourself. Yuri: I'm okay, Kanade. Hinata: Well, you've been through a lot, Yurripe. A lot. Naoi: I'm truly amazed you pulled off being our leader like you did. Yuri: Even you're here. What are you doing here? Aren't the shadows gone? So there's nothing to keep you here. Otonashi: Yeah, I know. Yuri: Then why? Otonashi: Because we have to help you. It's our job. [Yuri gasps] You're still here. Yuri: Uh, me? [Chuckles] I see. How should I put this? Otonashi: What is it? Kanade: This is my theory: Yuri has overcome the emotional weight pulling her down. [Otonashi, Naoi, and Hinata are surprised. Yuri hides her face under her sheets in embarrassment.] Otonashi: Is that true, Yuri? Yuri: Eh?! Well, um, you see...I uh... Naoi: Fine. I'll hypnotize you to- [Yuri drapes Naoi with her sheets.] Yuri: Oh, hell no! You get away from me! Hinata: We

Stairway to Heaven [Special Episode]

Yuri: [Chuckles] Right now she [Referring to Kanade] should be confused as she watched all of this from the student council room's window. She's wondering why they aren't vanishing when they're so full with energy. It's perfect. Operation High Tension Syndrome is too perfect; it's a stroke of genius! [Starts chuckling, then laughs maniacally.] Yusa: [Over radio] Are you a villain? Yuri: What are you doing? Trying to insult me?

Stairway to Heaven [Special Episode]

Yuri: What is this place? [Notices Kanade] Kanade: [Pulls a turnip from one of the allotments.] You're wonderful. You're cute. Hinata: Isn't this...? Takamatsu: Yes, it's a hydroponics. Matsusita: Hey, Yurripe. I found this. [Shows a small sign in his hands saying "Gardening Club"] Yuri: Wha...What? Kanade: [To Yuri] Now, then. I left the meeting and the word "cute" made me remember the hydroponics turnip I'm tending for the discontinued garden club. So, let me ask you how you think I should go about reporting this to the student council? Yuri: [Yelling] WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?! Kanade: I see everyone's here. Yuri: Why is there such tight security at the entrance?! Kanade: Security? [The steel doors open behind Yuri and the other SSS members as more SSS members come into the hydroponic.] Ōyama: Phew! We made it in! I can't believe all we had to do was hit the "open" button! Yuri: Huh?! What about the password?! Kanade: Password? Yuri: Yeah! The one you hit on the keypad, stup

Stairway to Heaven [Special Episode]

Yui: Sorry, guys...I've tried my hardest and fought with all my might to pull through and carry on your will, but I...think I hit...my...limit...[Collapses from hunger.] Yusa: [Lying down in the hallway due to hunger, speaking to Yuri over radio.] All of GirlDeMo's members are down... Yuri: It's not like they'll die. Yusa: I have to say...your role as a villain matches you perfectly, Yurripe...[Passes out from hunger.]
