Original subtitles

Wow, what a magical word.

My body's getting worked up.

Gunpee.

CAN THESE COMEDIANS RESIST TEMPTATION?

A CHEAP KISS MEANS ELIMINATION

I'll protect you as long as I live.

I'll be the ultimate partner.

Wow.

KISS OR DIE

I'll protect you.

WHO WILL BECOME THE MALE LEAD?

Right into a new chapter.

Look, a new member.

Noda doesn't know anything yet.

Here is your waiting room.

Good morning.

Oh, Shimasa!

Shimasa's here too.

Gunpee!

This is your outfit for today.

-Okay. -Please get dressed.

CRYSTAL NODA

I bet he'll make a good actor.

KAZUYA SHIMASA

Those eyes scare me.

There's Gunpee.

He's in the group, Haru to Hikoki.

Oh, right. They think they're here to shoot a commercial.

Is it supposed to be for a detergent or something?

Maybe that's what they were told.

I can't help but feel bad for them.

There it is.

-This is important. -An intro to the show.

The new arrival. She's cute.

Very cute.

He's frozen.

This must make no sense to him.

Like, "This can't be a commercial."

He's watching with his arms crossed.

Of course he's laughing. The situation makes no sense.

He looked up in surprise.

Oh, no.

He's totally lost.

Here it comes.

Finally.

The rules.

What the hell?

"Welcome to the world of Kiss or Die."

"The world of Kiss or Die."

"The world of Kiss or Die."

It's the start of a new storyline.

Diving into a new act.

Yes, but everyone here has a bit of a passive vibe.

Noda doesn't strike me as a lustful guy.

-Yeah. -I feel like he's more of an awkward type.

But Shimasa plays around a lot. He goes to mixers too.

Oh, really?

And Gunpee from Haru to Hikoki…

Gunpee's a total virgin.

Can he handle the shock?

-What will happen? -Right?

What do I do? I've never even kissed before.

Right, he has to kiss her.

What a hassle.

W-What about the commercial?

-The commercial, huh? -Let's go, Noda.

Oh, Crystal. Sorry we're late.

-It's started. -That was fast.

This sucks, huh?

I can't take it anymore.

Right?

Oh, he's in character.

He's ad-libbing.

That was fast.

Here it is! I'm so glad it wasn't confiscated!

Our sect is too strict.

Right, yeah.

-A sect? -Like a cult?

Crystal,

it's people like you who are going to change our sect.

They want to reform the cult.

Well, you shouldn't

depend on me for everything.

He switched so easily into performance mode.

Hey, you idiots.

I knew it! A forbidden text!

Stop it!

Stop!

Oh, she's already here!

Well, this is a problem, Mr. Hikaru Noda.

Oh, but your friends call you Crystal, correct?

KARIN CULT MEMBER

Another cute girl.

Yeah.

Damn you elitists!

That gaze.

It's fine. I'll handle this.

Yes, Brother.

-Yes, Brother. -Yes, Brother.

It's that kind of cult.

Try it.

He's still observing the situation.

-He's watching. -Jeez, Hikaru.

You almost got us both punished.

Yeah.

Questioning the sect and running away all those times…

Why are you so determined to rebel?

Even I, your childhood friend, can't protect you.

Childhood friends, huh?

But…

that's just the kind of guy I am, right?

Let's have a study session then.

A study session?

We're not kids anymore.

It's fine. Just come with me.

Oh, holding hands like a couple.

Okay.

Now it's Shimasa's turn.

Oh, Kazuya.

-You read this stuff? -Hey!

This stuff's banned in our sect!

Our sect?

You're the son of Master Kanbayashi, a high-ranking member,

and you engage in something like this?

A high-ranking member's son.

-The son of a sect leader? -Are you crazy?!

Now, even that amazing father of his is gonna lose his rank!

-What could be worse? -It was here when I arrived.

Not a great excuse.

He's still a bit lost.

-What?! -Yes, Brother!

Come on, are you serious?

It's awfully noisy in here.

-Terajima's here. -Master Kanbayashi.

This isn't good.

Yeah, it sure isn't.

IKUMICHI KANBAYASHI LEADERSHIP

Hey.

He feels the pressure now.

This goes against our rules, doesn't it, Kazuya?

Well…

You're my son. Answer me honestly.

Who brought this here?

Well, it's not mine.

-It's not yours? -No.

Is that true?

It was here, and he was reading it.

You're lying, aren't you?

So scary. He really is terrifying.

Confess.

No, I didn't bring it.

I wasn't the one who brought it.

Take them.

Yes, sir.

-Wait, Master Kanbayashi. -Huh?

He took them, not him.

-Since his father is one of the leaders. -Right.

Gunpee!

-Two of them? -That's rough for him.

So, this is where you were.

Now, let's go over together.

Get up.

Huh? Wait, what?

Follow me.

Looks fun.

Will he be okay?

I doubt he'll last long.

EPISODE THREE: THE CULT'S COMMANDMENTS

Hey, how do we get in the founder's good graces like you?

The founder?

-The founder likes him. -I see.

Playing dumb? You're so cute.

Gunpee!

Yeah.

You're as popular as ever, huh?

Uh, yeah…

Sorry.

How did you get so popular?

His character's super popular.

I guess

it's because I follow the founder's teachings.

He's good.

He's in character.

Since you're so trustworthy, I want to ask you for a favor.

Amazing ad-libbing.

Come with me.

Down there.

You obviously know what kind of people are down there, right?

It's the resistance doing battle with our sect.

They're tough.

I see.

Gunpee,

can you go negotiate with them?

-Negotiate? -Yeah.

Okay, I'll give it a go.

-I'm counting on you. -Yeah.

Wow.

Gunpee's good at this.

You can do it!

This might turn Gunpee into a superstar.

Right?

It looks promising.

Yeah.

Wow.

"Wow"? He's still taking it all in.

What's with all the peeking around?

You're acting suspicious.

I'm sorry.

Having a son like that is so embarrassing.

Huh?

Followers from the same cult.

-Huh? -They're over here too.

CENTRAL WORSHIP SPACE

This is incredible.

Did they use a drone?

This is all in one take.

Oh, really?

What's going on?

They can't predict where he'll go, so people are standing by everywhere.

That's so much work.

Huh? Isn't she cold?

That's the girl.

This girl?

Excuse me.

Oh, Kazuya.

Huh?

The girl from the video.

He said it.

He shouldn't mention that.

So, this is it.

This is where the resistance hides.

He could use a bigger shirt.

-It was given to him. -Poor guy.

THE RESISTANCE'S SECRET BASE

All right.

-This is… -There are so many of them.

A man?!

The resistance!

Their howls.

-Because a man came. -It's a man.

Haven't seen one for a while.

A world without men.

A lot of virgins dream of this.

-All these women and one man. -Right.

Call Mistress Mana.

-Yes, ma'am. -What an exciting story.

What's going on?

A guest? How rare.

It's Mana Sakura!

That name… Gunpee's a fan of hers!

What's your scheme, huh?

His eyes lit up.

I've seen you before.

CULT HEADQUARTERS

My brothers.

Cry out in sorrow.

This episode's pretty heavy.

And pray.

GREAT BROTHER FOUNDER

-The founder. -Yajima's amazing at ad-libbing.

That's true.

I can hear it.

See what I mean?

I can see it.

Everything.

And thus,

I must offer my prayers today.

This is amazing.

So that salvation

may come for all my brothers.

O desires.

Be gone.

Abstinence will lead…

He's so into it.

…to true salvation.

-Abstinence. -Another modest day.

Oh, so that's why that racy book…

It wasn't allowed.

Dear Brothers.

-Yes, Brother! -Yes, Brother!

-Nice. -Wow!

KISS OR DIE

All right, Crystal.

FOLLOWER TRAINING ROOM

Let's have a study session together here, Hikaru.

Hey everyone, I brought a present.

Huh? What is it?

Isn't that forbidden?

-Yeah, they're celibate. -Thank you!

Let's look together!

What kind of cult is this?

I'm confused.

They haven't changed, huh?

This is where serious followers come in search of comfort.

A slightly erotic study session that's held in secret.

An erotic study session.

Let's let loose together.

You can't just let loose like--

Oh, that was fast.

His death might be quick.

Hey, come on, you…

-Huh? -You haven't changed.

I'm kidding.

-Maybe he's not used to this. -Kidding?

I've grown up a little, don't you think?

-She's so cute. -Yeah, the way she looks at him.

And that height difference.

She's gazing up at him.

I bet that upward gaze is hard to resist.

Let's sit.

Sure.

So, what's up?

"What's up"?

Well, Hikaru…

Starting already.

Can you show me your muscle buns?

-Muscle buns? -Muscle buns?

Is it too sexual?

I want to see your muscle buns.

She makes it sound like his ass.

I can show you my muscle buns.

Don't call them that.

I've never seen a man's muscle buns before.

This is so ridiculous.

What are muscle buns?

What do you usually call them?

Just muscles.

Muscle cakes?

Muscle cakes?

Not that either.

They're just abs.

Then show me your muscle buns.

My abs, right?

It can't help but sound dirty.

They're pretty normal.

Abstinence makes people like this.

No, wait.

It's okay to look.

She's totally looking.

I've never seen muscle buns before.

-Muscle buns? -They're pretty big, huh?

I don't think muscle buns vary in size.

What the hell, Noda.

Is Noda a virgin too?

It's possible.

It really feels that way.

There might be a bromance between virgins this time.

They're not like what I learned in class.

Is it really your first time?

Did they get bigger because you're with me?

They're always like this.

Is this your first time?

She's caressing them.

If you caress my muscle buns like that, something bad might happen.

That feather touch…

-This is a lot, really. -Oh, jeez.

This isn't okay. It really isn't.

I might be at my limit.

-I want my face on your muscle buns. -Whoa, hold on.

Really.

I want to bury it in there.

-Well, um, is that allowed? -He looks out of his element.

Is it okay?

He's in trouble.

"Is it okay?"

Is what okay?

-Wait. Karin. -Hikaru, your body is…

It's so hard everywhere.

Karin, is this your first time?

Yeah, is that okay?

You're kind of pressing against me.

-Karin. -Is he done for already?

Karin, hold on. Wait. Seriously.

But…

This is the only soft part.

Noda might be a virgin.

A total virgin.

This is pretty mean.

Yeah.

I've had enough. Let me rest for a moment.

Hey, Hikaru, I want to check your lips.

He's gonna die now.

Let's take a break.

Look at me.

This is bad.

Let's rest.

This girl's really cute.

Karin.

Um, you're pressing against me.

I'm doing it on purpose.

He's in trouble here.

On purpose?

It's on purpose?

She knows what she's doing.

What a nice smell.

She smells nice, huh?

Karin. Okay.

She's so close.

You're…

Really, stop.

Jeez.

-Karin. -That was close.

You're so serious.

Yeah.

He's hopeless.

-He almost gave in. -He's in trouble.

Are you that girl from earlier?

Did I see you today?

Shimasa's more used to women.

Your childhood friend's on the ground. Help her up already.

Another childhood friend.

Noda didn't seem experienced at all.

Childhood friends?

Well, aren't we?

-Thanks. -Yep.

-Where are you looking? -He just saw her video.

Oh, uh… I wasn't looking anywhere.

You're obviously imagining me naked again.

Nice body.

I wouldn't call it imagining…

I've been thinking

you might have special powers, just like the founder.

What?

Hey, use X-ray vision to look at my body.

X-ray vision.

X-ray vision?

Yeah.

Can you tell what color my nipples are?

What a question.

He saw them earlier, right?

-What? Your nipple color? -This is a cult of abstinence.

Pink.

Wow, how could you tell?

I saw them.

He looked. He was looking earlier.

What about down here?

Look down there too.

Look where? How?

How is Shimasa gonna say it?

Well, I don't know about down there.

What? Why not?

Why? That's what I want to ask.

He's acting cool.

He is.

Let's slow down.

-Huh? Already? -Then let me tell you.

-Already? -Down there?

It's a nice, pink color.

Oh, man.

She landed a big hit on him.

What? Are you imagining it?

Oh, um…

Gunpee, this is a place of dreams!

MANA RESISTANCE LEADER

This is where rebels come together to rise against the cult.

Mana…

I'm sure we've met somewhere.

-You… -He's already in character.

What's the matter?

Oh, crap.

-You're breathing heavily. -No.

You need to relax.

She's showing him that?

But why would you--

That's what Gunpee's into?

Do you really think you can get away with this?

A funny way to raise her arms.

That's all it took?

Mistress Mana has lost her memories.

Oh, I see.

The version of me that you knew…

Who was she?

She was kind to men.

A woman like the Holy Mother.

Sounds like I was a lover in your mind at one point.

That's right.

-He's thought about this. -In his imagination.

No, I can't let you do that.

This is something from his dreams.

I've watched you for a long time, so…

Is he okay?

Will he be okay?

Do I look like the Holy Mother or the devil?

You're the devil. A snake.

Nice.

That line was nice.

Then as the devil,

or as the snake,

let me show you my allure.

-Oh, no! -He's gonna die!

Stay strong! Be patient!

-We can't. -No, that's a cheap kiss.

-I… -Good work.

I swore abstinence to our lord.

I won't give in to temptation.

Wow, he brought the story back.

I'd love to have a body like yours, Hikaru.

This story.

It's tough.

Do I have to lift weights?

Yeah, you'd need to go through rigorous training

and keep it up for years

before you can get this body.

Trying to act cool.

Maybe I'll try it.

First, my muscle buns.

You're gonna exercise?

Hikaru, can you hold down my feet?

You're doing it here?

Hurry and hold them down.

The way he acts innocent makes her more excited.

She's getting into it.

This is where--

Hold me down.

Really?

Will he be okay?

This could be bad.

In so many ways.

I can't get up at all.

That's more than enough.

Hikaru.

How do I do this?

You're doing totally fine.

I wanted to come with you.

Come with me? What do you mean?

Hold me down.

Don't spread your legs.

You should keep them shut.

Oh, this is bad!

I went too hard.

Yeah, you're really going for it.

You've gone too far.

Karin. This isn't okay.

I don't think we should.

Karin, really. I'm being serious.

Seriously.

Karin, really.

He's gonna do it.

Oh, no!

Hey, Noda! It's too soon!

Restrain yourself!

This one's cheap!

He's definitely doing it.

What?!

Oh, he resisted.

His eyes.

-He won't survive. -Is he okay?

Noda.

So, if you have X-ray vision,

I bet you have telekinesis too.

What?

Use your right hand to fondle my breasts.

With my right hand?

Yeah.

This is so stupid.

Let's stop. This is stupid.

Touch me more.

This can't be real.

Try doing it one more time.

This is so stupid.

Let's stop.

He's imitating Ikebukuro West Gate Park.

So he's Tomoya Nagase now.

Nagase, huh?

I want to touch you too.

No way.

Kazuya, look.

-Huh? -So dumb.

Oh, wow.

Those hand movements.

Can you feel that?

It's my telekinesis.

I'm more surprised than anything.

If you're surprised, that means you feel it, right?

This is so stupid.

So stupid. Let's stop now.

Shimasa's the best.

Kazuya.

Look at me.

I have been the whole time.

I'll use my telekinesis

to give you a kiss.

Oh, with telekinesis.

Hey, look, Kazuya.

Don't let her get to you.

It's telekinesis.

You mean a "telekinekiss"?

Trying to be cool.

Stop trying so hard.

Get out of Ikebukuro already!

Maybe he'll give a haphazard kiss.

-While trying to act cool. -This is gonna end weirdly.

Oh, wow.

Huh? Shimasa too?

He's doing it.

A telekinekiss?

-Ouch. -You're doing it too.

Ouch.

I bit my tongue.

I bit it.

Mistress Mana.

Rumor has it that this man is part of the V family.

V Family?

And of those people, he's the True and Blue V?

Also known as the True V.

The True V?

It must have some kind of horrific meaning.

It means I'm a super virgin.

A True and Blue V.

A super virgin.

He really is one.

A virgin, huh?

Oh, so the "V" stands for virgin?

This is dangerous.

What an innocent guy.

This is bad!

I can't resist.

Will Gunpee be okay?

What a guy.

He's totally in trouble.

I'm curious, now that I know he's a V.

This guy's my prey.

-Oh, no. -Oh, no.

Wait, please.

I'm gonna eat you up.

This might be bad.

You're like a snake.

Pleasure is a tool of the devil.

Okay, here comes the devil.

-You're the devil. -Like a virgin in erotic manga.

You're the devil.

Yes, but I'm a cute devil.

It's a cute devil.

Oh, no!

This is his first kiss.

Don't waste it.

W-What do I do?

What happened?

Are you okay?

Did you faint?

But looking at your body, Hikaru,

made me want to enter a bodybuilding contest too.

She's gunning for him.

It's not a walk in the park.

Can you look at my poses?

Posing, huh?

That's pretty difficult too.

Then just say whatever phrases come to mind.

As many as you want.

Oh, to cheer you on?

Sure.

Here I go.

Here.

Look at that definition!

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

-Do his cheers turn her on? -Possibly.

Nice!

You're like a wine glass.

Oh, no.

Your cheers are incredible.

They're not.

They're well-defined, right?

D-Do you have melons in there?

So lame.

Karin.

Are you okay?

Your compliments are making my body react.

Don't compliment me anymore, okay?

Come on.

Hey, that's just weird, isn't it?

Noda's totally bent out of shape.

But charisma's his selling point.

Stand up.

Just kidding!

What part was kidding?

I saw them, you know.

They were spread wide open.

Hikaru, I'll be your personal lip trainer.

Sounds expensive.

Darn, that upward gaze is bad news.

Welcome to Karin Gym.

Karin Gym is cute.

Don't copy Crystal Gym.

For a limited time only, your lips can cover the membership fee.

-Oh, no. -Nice, I want to join. Let me join.

Watch out.

Now Yahagi wants to join.

Please pay the membership fee.

Oh, no.

Is he gonna pay the fee?

He wants to join.

To be Karin's slave.

Don't forget Crystal Gym!

You have Crystal Gym already!

Is he gonna join?

I'm fine. I have my own gym.

-What the hell is this?! -Oh, no.

Of course.

Yeah, breaking the rules.

-Abstinence. -Yeah.

With so many people here, someone must be in charge!

It's not my fault! Karin tricked us!

Yeah, it's all her fault!

It's Karin! Kill her!

Oh, crap!

Which way?

-Over here. -Over here.

Her friends betrayed her.

Nice escape. They're even holding hands.

Hiding together's a nice situation.

Gets your heart pumping.

Yeah, it's just the two of them.

You're so amazing, being Master Kanbayashi's son and all.

I feel your powers so clearly.

Our sect has a terrifying machine

for controlling people with special powers like you.

He keeps trying to act cool.

Here.

If I press this switch, you lose five seconds of your memory.

What?

Okay, let's do it.

I'm pressing it.

Well?

Did you see anything, Kazuya?

I didn't see anything.

-It's gone. -Yeah.

-Wow. -He's acting cool.

One more time.

Let's try again.

No, I get the idea now.

-This erases your memories, right? -Ready?

What was that for?

I'm pressing it.

Doesn't make sense at all.

What happened?

This doesn't make sense at all.

Huh? Did something happen?

You do that stuff on here too?

We're going that route?

-What? -It's not just rewards.

Did something happen?

What a drag.

That hurt.

It's fun being with you, Kazuya.

Rather than five seconds,

I wish it could erase all of our memories.

I smell a dark past.

I see.

You took too long, Kazuya,

so I already had my first kiss.

-Oh, my. -Oh, my.

With someone way more mature than you.

Or so I thought.

She was saving it for him.

He said, "You're my type, Ibuki."

Then he changed suddenly

and stole my kiss by force.

She wants a redo.

By force?

Kazuya.

I wonder what I should have done.

I want a real first kiss.

Oh, my.

She's too close.

No, no.

You know, if I kiss you right here,

that would be considered forceful too, right?

Yeah.

It's not.

You don't want a forced kiss, right?

Acting like a nice guy.

-Trying to act cool. -You're so kind, Kazuya.

These models are all so different.

That's true.

They're all different.

Oh, they're so close.

Will they do it?

-This one's cheap. -He wouldn't.

Don't do it.

The mood's not set yet.

What's this?

So lame.

You're so kind.

-He's referencing Castle of Cagliostro. -That hug.

Who doesn't love that scene?

Thank you.

-I hate how he's patting her. -Like an older brother.

Okay.

Thank you.

I knew it. There's something special about you.

Yeah.

Don't lump me in with the other Vs.

In that case,

I want you to square off against our army's strongest martial arts.

Martial arts?

You will likely break apart in a second.

Oh, no. He'll die.

What are you saying?

It's Muay Thai designed to kill Vs.

-Muay Thai that kills Vs? -Yes, Mistress.

Muay Thai that kills Vs.

You won't be able to endure this.

After all, they're our ultimate martial arts.

I…

studied karate once too.

Let's do this.

Is he serious?

So stupid. What is this?

How did Gunpee know to do that?

He knew how to act.

Now's my chance.

How's that?

She's too close.

She's killing him.

Did you look?

Oh, no. His eyes.

I saw nothing.

-I don't even want to look. -Do it.

Take responsibility.

-Responsibility? -Oh, no.

Well, if that means dating you…

I can't.

You endured it?

I have worth because I'm a V.

I've been told by the sect too that being a V gives me worth.

I want to keep my current status.

I won't lose it just for a single moment of pleasure.

That's what he's known for.

I guess he has pride in that.

You're already charming enough.

You've already worked hard enough.

You've fulfilled your duties as a V successfully.

My duties as a V…

It's okay for you to let loose now.

That's too tempting!

"It's okay to let loose."

You've worked hard as a V.

Yes.

I did my best as a V.

Will he die here?

He "did his best?"

He used the past tense.

This is too cruel…

You're not gonna date me, are you?

If you're not going to date me,

I refuse.

-That's the issue? -Impressive.

So, that's important to him.

They're hiding.

Zero experience with women.

A big room for them.

Sorry, they found us.

Yeah, it is what it is.

I guess I can't be like you after all, Hikaru.

Karin, that's not true.

I wanted comrades too.

But…

You saw how those followers acted, right?

Yeah.

I wonder if I'll always be alone.

You aren't alone.

-He's in character. -Will he be okay?

You've got me.

So lame.

Whether it's against 100 or 1,000 people,

I'll be on your side, Karin.

He's already fallen for her, huh?

Karin.

Would it be a bother

if I do my best with you by my side?

Don't ever leave my side.

I'm…

not afraid of anything.

It's nice hearing a shy guy say that.

He got the courage to say it.

Oh, no.

I know a good shortcut.

A shortcut?

-Wait here. I'll go check. -Okay.

Noda's feelings are starting to bubble up right now.

Wait here.

Karin!

-Karin! -Leave it there.

-Help me, Hikaru. -I've got you now.

-What the hell? -What a mean trap.

Are you okay?

Hikaru.

We've kept tabs on you all for a long time.

You bastard.

Crystal.

You're not thinking of saving this woman, are you?

Of course I am!

Leave her to die.

You can't be serious.

If you do, I'll forgive all of your past sins.

Do what he says, Hikaru.

It doesn't matter what happens to me.

Karin…

He has to save her.

Bastard.

You two were being followed this whole time.

You were watching us, huh?

Now I know

that you two are traitors.

Traitors?

I'm the only traitor here.

He just got dragged into it. That's all.

Karin's covering for him.

Is that true?

Karin…

He's not one of us.

What will he do?

-Are you sure, Crystal? -Will he help?

I don't care what happens to me!

You two are traitors!

Hikaru…

Bring it on!

Are you sure you want to do that?

-His muscles were for this moment! -Such strength!

I'm a traitor of love!

You traitor!

A traitor of love?

That's so lame!

Oh, no.

Karin.

These are his teachings! What are you choosing over that?!

My own feelings.

You're both sentenced to death!

Someone come here!

Anyone!

Are you okay, Karin?

Hikaru…

That strength just now.

I knew it. You have special powers.

Not everyone can lift something like that.

Did I just do that?

He's immersed in the story.

I want to be with you forever, Hikaru.

Oh, no.

I'm…

a traitor too.

I thought I'd always be alone.

But now that I see what's right before my very eyes,

I've realized I'm not alone.

Wow.

Isn't this all ad-libbed?

Karin.

I…

will protect you for as long as I live.

I'll be the ultimate partner.

Nice.

She's trying to kiss him.

Do you have feelings for me? Even just a little?

Well?

Huh?

I do.

Then close your eyes.

-Oh, no! -What?!

It's too soon!

What a cheap kiss!

Hey, that was too simple!

It's not time yet!

Noda, not yet!

-Idiot! -No!

Oh, Kazuya!

Kazuya, you asshole!

Hey, Kazuya, you bastard!

They're here.

Here too, huh?

Kazuya, that was some stunt you pulled.

What?

Now that we've found you, it's over.

I didn't do anything.

Oh, well if it isn't Ibuki.

This girl here

was totally submissive toward her super shady gangster boyfriend.

You'd do anything he said, right?

Are you serious?

Hey, quit it.

You're so annoying.

Ibuki had her first kiss forcibly stolen from her.

How unfortunate for her.

Hey, Kazuya.

Why don't you just kiss her

and overwrite the last one?

They all know exactly what role Shimasa likes to play.

Right.

That's true.

Hey, stop this.

Then kiss already!

You've kissed everyone until now.

No, that's not true.

He could kiss her here.

He might do it casually.

This guy's a wimp.

Stop picking on us.

What's wrong with picking on wimps?

-Stop wimple-wussing! -What is he talking about?

You're the wuss. You can't even kiss anyone!

Just kiss her already!

Come on, kiss her!

-Kiss her! -Kiss her!

Fine, if that's what you want.

Kiss!

Huh?

-This is… -It's not time.

Yeah, he doesn't look cool.

He's not the ideal protagonist yet.

I'm not enough of a wuss to kiss here!

That was lame though.

Get lost, you guys.

I won't believe anything you say.

You're so lame.

Let's go.

Yeah, I'm over this.

-Boring. -He could do it after this though.

Yeah, a casual kiss.

It's over now.

-I'm so glad. -Yeah.

A lot of stuff…

Now it's getting serious.

…might have happened up to now.

But as your childhood friend…

I'll protect you.

-Oh, jeez. -I'm so happy.

He's like Takuya Kimura.

He's trying too hard to be cool.

Won't he feel embarrassed watching this later?

I…

want a good luck charm.

-A charm? -A charm.

Can you give me one?

He's resisting.

-But you know… -That was cool just now.

Yeah, he thinks so in his mind.

He thinks kissing her will look even cooler.

What's with this guy?

What is this mental fortitude?

To be able to resist a kiss from me…

Compared to you,

I'm no good.

What?

If I lose my resolve over stuff like this,

I'm not qualified to be a leader.

That's not true.

I'm just special.

Maybe Mistress Mana's power has grown weak.

Rumors are spreading.

See? I told you.

Well, she's past her prime.

-Oh, no. -A change in leadership.

And it's his fault.

-No way… -They're leaving her.

Your prime?

I put on a strong face to lead everyone,

but that's not who I am.

-What? -Fourteen years.

For fourteen long years,

I've continued bearing this role.

Fourteen years…

My time is over.

That's not true.

So cool.

It's true that more and more young people are appearing.

It's that kind of industry.

Industry?

But I was shocked to find someone like you.

You're a writer. You wrote a novel, and it was nominated for an award.

You're eloquent on the news,

and that's not all.

You improved how such actresses are seen.

To me, you look like…

Joan of Arc.

Such wonderful words.

Do you really think so?

Yeah, I don't lie.

Gunpee's such a kind soul.

What is your name?

-Gunpee. -I'm sure he made her happy.

I want to learn more and more about you.

Just thinking about you makes my heart burn up.

I love you.

She just said she loves him.

-I love you. -Okay.

Well, that's a bit…

I really love you.

This is bad.

I see. You love me.

I guess it's fine then.

No, don't!

"I guess it's fine then."

It's her job!

Well, since you love me…

Those aren't her true feelings!

Gunpee!

Will he do it?

Gunpee, watch out!

It's too soon.

Let's hold hands first.

What a great line.

Then let's hold hands like this.

Let's start off with a date, or, um…

Nice.

Oh, no.

He's in serious trouble.

Please, wait.

Oh, no!

If he liked the hand kiss that much…

An indirect kiss is okay.

Are you sure?

She was shot?

Whoa! You're…

Gunpee.

Good work, Gunpee.

Oh, right. She's the resistance.

Hold her down like that.

We owe you for giving us an opening.

Thanks.

Did you trick me?

This was my fate anyway.

Gunpee. Thank you.

Her final kiss?

It hurts…

What? You're kidding.

What? You're kidding.

My crotch filled up with too much power.

It burst open.

Seriously?!

Can't you tell?

She's laughing.

My pants split from all that power.

She laughed.

Gunpee.

You're so cool, Gunpee.

You're amazing.

No, the amazing one is you, Mana.

You're amazing, Mana.

You're not past your prime yet.

He went back to acting.

Don't you get it?

Gunpee, I…

I don't have much longer.

Just like this,

I was told that I'm past my prime.

No one loves me.

I'm all alone.

Mana, it's not over.

Because of you,

I managed to stay a virgin.

It's thanks to you.

You gave me those videos for ten years without rest.

That's how I stayed a virgin.

He's serious.

You're not past your prime.

You're just getting started.

This might be his only chance.

Here too!

Don't!

-Everyone! -But I wanted that virgin bromance.

-Hold it in! -Oh, no!

-Who will kiss? -It'll all end!

Will they kiss?

Gunpee!

He did it!

His first kiss!

He did it.

He sure looks happy!

Yeah, I'm happy for him.

That's a kiss, huh?

-Oh, jeez. -It was so soft.

He looks so happy.

How was your first kiss?

It was… quite something.

That was amazing.

Really amazing.

It was softer than tofu.

There's no going back now.

Gunpee.

Oh, no.

I'm really sorry.

-Oh, no. -I…

I used your heart.

-Huh? -What?

What do you mean?

I was ordered to make you kiss me.

You were ordered to?

What?

Are you okay, Mana?

Mana?

It was a failure.

Report this to Master Kanbayashi.

Yes, sir.

What do you mean?

Tell me, Mana.

You weren't compatible.

Compatible?

It's unfortunate, but…

Die.

Do it.

She dies if she's incompatible?

Mana!

Mana…

Gunpee, I'm sorry.

Gunpee…

Mana!

Nice.

That was good.

It really was.

Like Rocky screaming "Adrian."

Incredible.

You'll feel a reaction soon too.

A reaction?

You're right. What is this?

He's improvising here.

-Power's coursing through me. -It is?

Fire!

I don't get it.

He was killed.

I thought he'd fight back.

What was that at the end?

Gunpee's out, huh?

-I wanted to see him more. -Yeah, just a bit more.

-Huh? Everyone at once? -That can't happen.

It's still a cheap kiss.

I don't really understand all this stuff about love

or hate.

So lame.

But my desire to protect you is real, Karin.

I can tell he's a good guy though.

Hikaru…

I'm sorry.

Karin?

Hikaru.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

Over here. I found them.

-Oh, no. -He was tricked.

Get down.

Dammit. You couldn't get a kiss?

Useless girl.

She was seducing him.

Karin was?

What are you talking about?

I had no choice.

What's going on here?

He's doing it again.

The thing he likes to do.

I'll protect you even without a kiss.

Thanks.

-Oh, no. -But what's going on here?

You couldn't get a kiss?

Useless girl.

I'm sorry, Kazuya.

Forgive me.

There's no time.

This calls for a more heavy-handed approach.

Restrain them.

What is this, Karin?

-Karin! -What's going on?

I'm sorry, Hikaru.

What's going on, Karin?!

I hate this.

She didn't actually want to do it.

Yeah, she didn't.

They were tricked.

Let's go.

Kazuya, I didn't want to trick you!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, Kazuya.

-"I'm sorry." -What's going on here?

It's their duty, but they each have feelings for them.

I see.

Inspector Mido.

We pinpointed the victim's origins.

It's connected to the first act.

The police.

-Yeah, they said it's a complicated case. -Oh, right.

MISSING PERSON SEISHIRO MIZUTA

Seishiro Mizuta, a scientist.

A scientist?

The disfigured corpse.

Mizuta?

He disappeared over 20 years ago.

I wonder what he was up to until now.

And his hometown?

Um…

Madara City, Nagano Prefecture.

Nagano?

-How did you know? -Huh?

Get the map.

He also had a pendant with a photo in the first act.

There's something here.

Isn't that the facility?

Yeah, the cult's!

They're connected!

-He's infiltrating them? -Who?

Could it be?

-What?! -Whoa!

007.

007?

Gunpee, how was it?

That was my first kiss…

Seriously, being a virgin feels stupid now.

Like, "This is a thing?"

Sorry, stealing your real first kiss seems…

I've always been a fan.

I managed to stay a virgin thanks to you.

Actually, that's a great line.

But Gunpee, you're eliminated.

What? Eliminated?

Yes, the other two haven't kissed yet in their first episode.

What?!

They managed to not kiss?

Wow.
