Original subtitles

I won't let anyone else die.

If we work together, I'm sure we can all escape.

Let's try to beat this, together.

Sounds like a good idea.

Nobu, you'll be heading away from the exit,

but can you return to C3 and meet up with Rei, who's in C4?

The starting room has no point deduction, so it's the room with the least risk.

Understood.

Usagi has the most points left.

I have more points because the child's with me.

Do you think you can head to room A3?

There's a risk that it's a room with a high points deduction.

I got this.

That means one person

will have to stay behind.

No!

Huh?

Careful. Are you all right?

I'll take over from here.

Thank you, son.

Arisu, I'll stay here.

Why you?

Because I'm the eldest here. And it's my choice.

Let us old folks take care of the dangerous stuff.

And you kids, your job is to take care of the future.

Players, hold your wristband up to your chosen door

and proceed to the next room.

Don't worry, I'm okay!

B4 is a minus two points room.

Please select whose points will be used.

Let's use my points this time.

Points deduction confirmed.

A3 is a minus eight points room.

Please select whose points will be used.

I promise to protect you.

Points deduction confirmed.

Usagi.

What about Tetsu?

I get it.

Tetsu!

Tetsu…

A3 is a minus eight points room.

If we were in that room, we'd be dead.

I'm the last one. None of us can come through here again.

Eleventh round.

Start.

Time to release Sachiko from lockdown.

To create a horizontal line between A3 and C3,

Usagi and Nobu need to stay where they are.

But Nobu only has two points left.

So even if he tries to meet up with Sachiko once she's released,

we can't make it work with zero points.

Well, in that case, I could meet up with Nobu at C3

and make a horizontal line?

No.

Even if you go to C3 to connect with Nobu,

you'll never be able to reach A5 even with both your points.

Rei, I want you to stay where you are at C4, so you can save Sachiko.

And then meet up with Nobu there.

Understood.

If I head to A2, I can form a diagonal line with Rei at C4.

I'll take my child to A2.

But, Usagi, none of us have been in that room.

I know. But my child and I, we both have seven points left.

There's a possibility that A2 has an even bigger points deduction.

Even if your plan works, Usagi, if you're in lockdown,

none of us can help you.

One mistake and we'll never be able to make it back to A5.

We don't have time. What do we do?

What can we do?

How can everyone make it out of here alive?

What can we do?

Arisu, there must be a way!

We've done it before.

We've fought and won all the games so far.

All those friends who kept me alive.

Every game includes

a clue on how to survive.

The wristband.

We use the wristband.

The wristband?

Usagi, in A2, place the child's wristband.

Place only the child's wristband. Even though the child isn't wearing it,

it's been working so far.

And that means, if we put the wristband inside,

the plan should still work.

Makes no sense.

He's right. What happens if the poor child dies trying to save me?

I know.

Even if we clear the game, if the wristband stays inside

and the points are zero, Usagi could die.

You've no way of knowing!

But what if… we find a way to retrieve the wristband?

How do you do that?

If Usagi goes back for the wristband, we'll be back where we started.

You can't be in here!

-You have to go with Rei! -Yuna! Come with me.

-Come on! -Yuna, please!

Earlier, when Rei was about to enter this room,

her wristband was on the other side of the door and it didn't react.

So that means, if my wristband stays inside A3, then I should be okay.

You just reach your arm into the room and you grab the child's wristband.

Usagi, can you do it?

I can do it.

Yes, but once the wristband is back inside,

eight points will be deducted again.

Even if you return the wristband from A2 to A3,

neither of them will have enough points to reach the exit.

YUNA ITSUKI 11, RYOHEI ARISU 6

Yuna…

I need a favor.

Some of us will need your help to survive.

Yuna, we need you to save us.

Please, help us.

Nobu, move across to C4 and we'll meet up together. Got it?

Understood.

Players, hold your wristband up to your chosen door

and proceed to the next room.

I'm sorry.

I'll come back for you. I promise.

You're worthless! I'll kill you!

Room B3 has been unlocked.

Thank you!

A2 is a minus five points room.

Points deduction confirmed.

Twelfth round. Start.

Okay, let's get the wristband back.

I'm coming.

We'll open the door from this side.

Yuna will go in and take the eight point deduction.

Yuna, are you sure?

Yes. When I'm inside, Usagi,

retrieve your child's wristband from inside the room.

Thank you.

We don't have much time.

We need to do this before the doors open and close.

How long do we have?

It's hard to tell precisely. The timing can differ.

The longest opening time is when someone's standing in the doorway.

Longest opening time? So how long?

Ten seconds. Maximum.

It's enough.

Let's do it. Is everyone ready?

I'm ready.

MOM, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

Ready?

Ten seconds. I'll do the countdown.

I'm going in.

What?

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Hurry, Usagi!

Four!

Three!

Two!

This is a minus eight points room.

-Usagi, run! -Points deduction confirmed.

Arisu!

Usagi!

One!

Jump!

Thank you.

Arisu…

What did your future hold?

All the players remaining in this room shall be forced to stay.

It's the last one, okay?

Thank you.

Points deduction confirmed.

Fourteenth round. Start.

-Yu, are you okay? We're here! -Please wait here.

Yu!

You fool!

So what are you going to do about this?

I beg for your forgiveness.

Bowing your head isn't going to solve anything, young man.

-This is a serious incident! -I'm really… I'm sorry!

Mother…

EXIT

Arisu…

What does that mean?

I just saw an exit sign on the screen.

It's the last room, isn't it?

What's gonna happen now?

Players, hold your wristband up to the chosen door

and proceed to the next room.

Let's go.

-Arisu… -Nobu.

Thank goodness.

FIFTEENTH ROUND

It's the last round. We've just about made it.

You have all successfully reached the exit room.

EXIT

Congratulations to everyone who has reached the exit.

It is time now to make a final roll of the dice.

A final roll?

We have to play again?

I'll roll the dice.

I'll roll the dice

and accept my fate.

Arisu…

Seven players must now proceed to the exit.

Only seven.

One of us has to stay.

Usagi.

You're in charge now.

Huh?

What are you saying?

You have to live.

Bring everyone back to our world.

One minute remaining.

-Usagi, please. -Arisu!

-This is what my future is. -No!

-You can't do this! -Usagi.

No! Don't leave me!

-Usagi, please. -No!

-Usagi! Usagi… -No, no, no, no!

-No! -Listen up, everyone.

-Take Usagi with you and live. -No!

Don't leave me!

-Ryuji! -Ryuji, please.

Make sure she gets back to our world.

-No! -Please!

-No! No! -Thirty seconds remaining.

-Hurry, all of you! -You can't! Arisu!

There's no more time! Sachiko, hurry!

No, Arisu!

-Hey… -Arisu!

Ryuji, make sure Usagi gets back to our world.

Ryuji, please!

Promise me.

Arisu! Arisu!

No!

No, wait, Arisu!

Arisu!

No! Arisu!

Come with me… to the land of death.

If you kill Usagi,

I promise to grant you your wish.

I promise you will learn about the land of the dead.

A world beyond your wildest dreams.

What is he doing?

Usagi!

Hey! Ryuji! What are you doing?

Ryuji! Hey! Stop it, Ryuji! Stop!

No! Stop it! Hey! Usagi! Hey!

Ryuji! Don't do it! Stop!

Stop it! Hey!

Stop it!

Congratulations.

You, the last remaining player in this room,

have entrusted everyone with their futures.

And for this reason, you now also have a future.

To the player who has remained in this room,

game cleared.

What?

Usagi!

Usagi!

Congratulations, Arisu.

It's you.

Because you have succeeded so brilliantly in winning,

you now have the right to become a citizen of this place.

Become a citizen?

I would never choose to stay here.

You've been running after Usagi, but she'll be dead soon.

Come on, Arisu.

Why not stay here, and we can enjoy more games together?

You brought me back to this place just for your own entertainment?

Of course.

You had no right to do that.

I knew you weren't the type of person I could just summon here.

So I decided to use Usagi as bait.

You accepted to play the games without hesitation.

You bastard!

-Are you okay? -Arisu!

-I can't hold on! -Help!

Ryuji!

Ryuji!

Take my arm!

Sachiko!

Give me your hand!

Yuna, hold on!

-You guys stay here! -What?

Usagi!

-Arisu! -Arisu!

Arisu!

-Quick! Go inside! -Arisu!

Usagi!

Usagi!

Arisu!

Usagi!

Usagi!

It's all over now.

Impossible.

Can you see me?

Damn you!

Arisu?

Arisu!

Arisu! Arisu!

You have to bring back Usagi!

Arisu!

I expected as much from you, Arisu.

Have you decided to stay here with me?

No matter how many times you ask me,

I'll never accept to stay here.

You've really disappointed me.

Goodbye, Arisu. Game over.

I misjudged him.

It appears he wasn't quite ready for this role.

Ohhh…

Are you the Joker?

Who is the Joker?

Who could it be?

Is it God?

Or is it me?

Shall we play one last game?

Please, have a seat.

Kindly choose one of these cards, if you please.

Your choice of card will determine your fate.

However, if you choose the Joker, then I shall win the game.

And so your destiny shall be decided by me alone.

So it is. And now your destiny belongs to me.

Both cards are Jokers, isn't that right?

What a coincidence.

Cut the bullshit.

You're cheating, period.

Listen, young man.

Every deck of cards contains four suits of 13 cards each.

Add up the value of each card, you get 364.

When you then add the Joker, you get 365.

Exactly the number of days as in a year in your world.

And if you add another Joker, you get 366.

The same number of days as in a leap year.

So you see,

the two Joker cards are necessary based on the truth of human time constructs.

The Joker is a jester

who fills in the gaps between the cards, between the gaps in time.

And he fills in the gaps between life and death.

So are you the Joker?

You misunderstand.

The Joker is not a person.

Neither is it an entity that controls this world.

Nor an entity that oversees the games we play.

The Joker

is just a card.

You are a very interesting human.

And I believe that it is not entirely a coincidence

that both the cards that determined your destiny were Jokers.

Your fate is in my hands.

It is mine to do as I please.

But…

In consideration of this coincidence,

I have decided to offer you a choice.

You will find death

just over there.

That vortex will drag you down, and you will die.

Over there, you will find life.

Life is painful, filled with many trials to endure.

Death, on the other hand,

is accepting the way of the universe until you reach its natural end.

Which path do you chose?

Everyone passes through this place.

This is… the world between life and death.

Even if you return to the world of the living,

your time will come,

and eventually, you'll be back here.

In the end,

everyone takes the path of the dead.

All the same, do you wish to return to your world,

even if it means suffering and pain?

If you choose to return to your world,

the woman you are searching for, and the baby,

may no longer be there.

The path of death is the easier way.

Just throw yourself into the vortex.

It's quite… empty, emptier than you can imagine.

There's no more pain.

No more suffering.

And no happiness, either.

What is your purpose in this place?

I am the watchman.

My purpose, you see,

is solely to watch the space between life and death.

Everybody dies.

I serve as the watchman at the gates of death,

and for my services, death passes me by.

You recommend death to everyone,

and yet you're afraid of death yourself.

You might be right.

Is that why you gave me a choice?

I was interested in the opinion of someone who has survived death many times.

Soon this place shall be flooded with many people.

Flooded?

What will happen?

Something

much, much bigger than before.

Much bigger than that which brought you here.

How many people are going to die?

That is none of my concern.

Ohhh…

It is time for you to choose your path.

I will return to the world of the living with Usagi.

No!

Usagi?

Usagi!

Choose…

Your destiny.

You are indeed a truly interesting specimen.

Usagi!

Arisu!

Usagi!

Let's go together.

Arisu!

Hey! Ryuji!

Let's go to the land of death together.

What?

No! Stop!

Ryuji!

Usagi!

Ryuji!

Don't die!

No!

Stop! Ryuji!

Arisu!

Arisu!

Usagi!

Usagi!

No!

Usagi!

Arisu!

Arisu!

Usagi!

Arisu!

Arisu!

Arisu! Arisu!

Promise me.

Make sure Usagi gets back to our world!

Ryuji, please!

Keep on living.

Ryuji!

Usagi…

My daughter.

Father?

Father…

I've missed you so much.

In the world of the living,

I was so happy with you.

Dad…

I want you to live, Usagi.

I want you to be happy too.

Arisu!

Arisu…

How long have I been gone?

Two minutes.

You just made it out.

A few seconds more and you might not have made it.

And Usagi? What happened to her?

Well, you should know that better than anyone, Arisu.

I gotta go.

Oh!

I'm okay.

Thank you… Ann.

Usagi.

You're okay.

I'm hungry…

Arisu!

Well, because the baby will be born during the summer…

We can use the kanji sign for summer…

-Natsumi. -Natsumi.

-And the kanji for beauty. -Mm.

-Natsuki. -Natsuki…

RINKA, NATSUKI, KANADE, KOHARU, NATSUMI

-Let me think. What else? -Mm…

Look! Generosity.

-Huh. Hiro? -Uh-huh.

It's difficult.

We already picked a lot of good names.

But now we really need to narrow it down.

If we just keep making a list of good names,

we'll never make our minds up.

Hmm. One more…

Usagi, let's pick the one you prefer.

Typical.

The usual answer from men who don't care.

No, no!

I do care and I am thinking about it,

but it seems to me that

your name can decide your fate.

Why me?

It's better that you decide.

No way! We decide together!

-Ah, I'm late! -Hm?

I have to go.

You think you can just leave like that?

I will never leave you.

I promise, my love.

I love you too.

So then when you come back, we find that name.

-Huh? -Tonight we name our child!

Run! Until tonight!

I'll see you later.

I wanna say thanks, Mom.

It's all thanks to you that I could graduate.

You know that's not true.

Well, it's my turn now.

Your turn?

To make you happy, Mom. It's my turn to take care of you now.

I think I'm better at that game.

-I had an idea. -Yeah?

-I'd like us to visit his grave together. -Really?

Yeah. I think it's about time I introduced you to my brother.

"Sohta, this is my boyfriend."

-You're right. -Yeah.

-Well, then I have a lot to think about. -Like what?

-Well, like, what to say, what to wear… -None of that's important.

You have to do these things right!

-Okay, so what'll you wear? -Hmm, let me think…

Maybe I should wear a suit.

You're no longer a child. You have to take care of yourself.

You'll soon be in high school.

Yeah, I know.

Sometimes I wonder who you take after.

After you, Mom, that's obvious.

Really?

Obviously!

I read your letter.

Thanks, Mom, for watching the show.

Mmm. I got a job working on a new anime project.

Mmm. And this time, it's gonna be a movie.

You and Dad can go watch it together.

'Kay.

ARISU

Thank you for your visit.

Would you like to make your next appointment?

Do you have any availabilities around mid-May?

Let me check the appointments.

What do you do that gives your life a sense of meaning?

A sense of meaning?

Well, I guess when I'm in the dojo, practicing karate.

I thought you had stopped karate?

Well, actually, I started teaching at my father's club.

When I see all those kids practicing so hard,

that's what gives me meaning.

It makes me happy.

Are you still having some flashbacks?

Lately, I've been sleeping a lot better.

And my job's going well.

Well, that's good to hear.

You told me that since the event,

you've been thinking a lot about the meaning of life.

I ask myself, "What's the point in living?"

Maybe for this hat?

Stopping the shop from going bust?

What are the things that give meaning to your life now?

It's important to me that people see me as a role model and as an influencer.

That way… That way I can get to see the world.

You're very courageous.

What is it that gives you a sense of purpose, a sense of meaning in life?

For a long time, I really didn't know.

I didn't understand why I was still alive.

But lately, I've realized that

coming to terms with my being alive is my mission in life.

So, right now…

…I work with kids that are in trouble.

Meaning?

Hmm.

That's a good question.

Even if I don't know,

it's not that important.

Life can still be good.

That's very true.

And what about you?

What is it that gives meaning to your life?

What keeps you alive?

Huh?

That's a really good question.

Hmm, today, I'd say…

It's about picking names for my child.

Wow.

-I'll leave this here. -Thank you.

-Another one. -Is it another earthquake?

Mm-hmm.

-I think it's over, right? -Mmm.

-There was a big one earlier too. -Mmm.

-We seem to be having a lot. -Yeah, you're right.

I wonder if it's on the news?

Reports are coming in of an earthquake off the coast of Chiba,

approximately 40 miles below the earth's surface.

The government advised that there is zero risk of tsunami.

News is coming in about another earthquake in the Kantō region,

measuring five on the Richter scale.

It appears now that seismic activity has been recorded simultaneously

in multiple locations around the planet, including California in the United States.

Experts are suggesting this may be a sign of tectonic movement on a global scale…

…regions in Japan, parts of Europe and the US West Coast.

Experts are now suggesting that global environmental changes

may be having an impact on seismic activity

which could potentially trigger these simultaneous tremors.

Seismologists are calling the unprecedented series of earthquakes

an extremely rare phenomenon,

indicating a major concern for the trigger effect…

Hey, guys, are you ready?

Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

Everybody, right?

How you doin'? Can we get a table for two?

And, uh, by the window if you can.

Thank you.

Been watching the playoffs, right?

-Nah, I haven't. -What?

-Yeah, man. -Not one game?

Has it been good?

Bro, best series I've probably seen since 2010.

-No way. -Easily.

-No, I don't believe you. -Easily.

-I might have to check it out. -You gotta check it out.

Can I have a beer on tap, please?

I'll do the same. And then a couple waters as well.

-Best series since 2010? -Yeah, bro, you gotta…
