Original subtitles

Finally, done.

SHARE ON:

- What's that? - So lame.

- Garbage. - Eww...

Who'd listen to that crap?

Junk, junk, junk.

Damn, always so loud!

Isn't it too much for just two dojo trainees?

You're skipping breakfast?

Sorry, meeting up with Kirara.

Huh?

"A sound mind in a sound body."

Ugh.

If you've got something to say, spit it out.

Every morning I wake up to the sound of judo.

Thank you so very much for that!

Found an awesome place! Meet there instead!

For real?

Dang, it's on the other side...

OKAY!

What's this? So cute!

Huh? Isn't it around here?

Where? Where is it?

I need the map... Huh?

What?

It's gone!

Gotta tell Kirara I'm running late...

But my phone is missing!

Shiori!

Shiori.

Kirara.

Sorry, sorry, so sorry.

I lost my phone. I couldn't find my way nor text you.

Without smartphones, humanity's doomed.

Huh?

That's so you.

But it really was missing.

Sorry...

Quit apologizing all the time.

Sorry...

- Awesome view. - Right?

Kirara and I have always been friends since I can remember.

But we are total opposites.

Kirara's a natural-born influencer,

and her intuition is always right.

My horoscope today:

My luckiest day — the sun and moon align through my zodiac sign,

so I should believe myself.

And yet, she's somehow very superstitious.

Look! The world is perfectly lit up by the sun, so let's hurry.

Okay.

Won't we get in trouble for trespassing?

Shiori, you should start your own channel, too.

It'll help you boost your savings for opening a café.

No, no, no way.

I'm not cut out for it...

You sure? I think you are.

No, I mean, I'm not like that...

Sorry!

Hey, let's both upload this video.

What'll we do?

What if we get 100 million likes?

Then let's open a café together.

I like that! A very cute one.

Ready?

Like!

But the outcome was brutal.

I heard Kirara got a few hundred likes,

while I only got 15...

Come, let's just try a take.

Okay.

- Don't be shy. - Huh?

The new Thai food stall in Bashamichi?

- I'm coming! - I love spicy food!

For real? Cilantro?

The crêpe café next week?

The accessory shop I'm eyeing. Wanna go?

Karaoke after school today. Anyone free?

Okay, the early modern period from today.

In the medieval...

What the...! Why?

WHAT'S THIS?

It's going viral, too.

What's wrong, Maezawa?

What's going viral?

Sorry... It's nothing.

What a miracle shot.

Her fall scared me.

Glad she's not hurt.

No, no, no...

Kinda wrong to say, but I love it.

She's not here...

KIRARA

You posted it without asking? Traitor!

Maybe "traitor" is a bit too harsh...

Huh?

When I want to regain my peace of mind, I dish it all out on my secret account.

Her normal is my abnormal.

How dare she post that video!

Even a nobody like me goes viral when she posts.

I want judo out of my life

because of what happened.

I am terribly sorry.

Only a vague memory now, but such a massive stain.

I want judo out of my life.

But...

CLASS CHAT: YAMADA'S ACTING LIKE A CREEP

Huh? What's this?

What? Yamada?

What?

Nothing.

Not here.

I want to talk about the video.

Sorry to bother you. I'm waiting at our usual spot.

I'll be killing time, so text me when you get here. Please!

Fifty-thousand views...

Kirara's such a powerhouse...

I can't pull it off?

Excuse me?

- Who? Me? - Are you...

Isn't she from the video?

- No way. - Right, course not.

Miss?

Sorry, the cashier's...

I'm so sorry! I'm not buying it. I'm not getting it!

This is bad. I need her to delete it now.

Huh?

But when?

Watch it.

Are you okay?

A bunch of stickers were...

Huh?

You saw the stickers?

Yes, I did...

Unbelievable...

You may be my destiny.

What? Destiny?

What's with that guy? So creepy...

Kirara didn't come.

I'm home.

You don't look so good.

It's nothing.

Don't you need more training?

I blame it all on the forward roll breakfall.

Where did I crack it?

Oh! She's read it.

Why did you post it?

It's gone completely viral.

I feel everyone's watching, gossiping about me.

I just saw a hallucination. Seriously!

It's because of that video! Take it down! Please!

You really saw? A hallucination?

That part?

I swear! So delete that video!

Hey! Answer me!

What's going on with her? Kirara?

The Puritan Revolution which started in 1642.

It is said to be the world's first people's revolution.

By the way, "revolution" means

to turn or to revolve, so...

Isn't this CG?

Killer forward breakfall.

She's cute.

I'm the one acting strange...

Hey, is this Maezawa?

Whoa!

Why hide it?

Look at those calves.

- No, no, no... - Acting cute.

No, no, no!

Water?

For real?

Found you. Found you.

Found you. Found you.

You can't escape anymore.

Come, come...

Come with us.

Huh? A bathroom?

Why?

Hello? Anyone there?

Hello? Are you trapped in here?

Oops, this is the ladies' room, sorry.

Who are you?

I'm Komori, it means "small forest" in English.

Girls' bathroom now. A creepy guy's blocking the door.

- Isn't this bad? - What is?

Hey, keep it down.

Maezawa!

Tosaka's coming to get you.

Maezawa! You okay?

Are you okay?

What?

You're actually human.

What?

Did the sticker just talk?

It's Komori.

I look like a sticker to you?

Maezawa? Aren't you here?

Mr. Tosaka, over there.

That's Maezawa, right?

It's her! What's she thinking?

"Sad news: Shiori Maezawa (17)

finally obtains true liberty."

What?

It's really looking bad for you.

W-What's going on?

Your smartphone screen, wasn't it cracked on its own?

What? How'd you...

As I suspected. You're trapped in here, too.

Inside the smartphone.

In this labyrinth where people with cracked smartphones wander into.

Inside my smartphone? A labyrinth?

Sorry, I don't get it at all...

My screen also cracked on its own one day.

Ever since, I've been stuck here for seven years.

Seven years?

Check the date.

October 1, 2019 edition.

I was gripping this when I came to in this world.

But that's...

No way...

What is this?

So now, what should I do?

Turn around, maybe a revolution?

This store...

I knew it, Kirara's favorite brand.

I was off by a digit.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Will this look good on me?

Not bad.

- Looks great on you. - Right?

People today are glued to their smartphones.

Their name, date of birth, card number, bank account,

search history, social media posts, and more.

With all that info on your phone, it basically is your other self.

That was cracked into pieces.

Which signifies

you yourself cracked to pieces.

I lost my memory, but I clearly remember that sound.

The sound of my heart breaking, the deep despair...

I hear you, Komori.

But I'm not broken and I have my memory.

Shiori!

Not the underground!

This is just a dream.

A bad dream.

What does your true self look like?

You will now be reborn. For a wonderful life.

Stop it.

Komori?

Don't make weird sounds.

Komori!

Help me!

Ouch...

I told you it's dangerous.

What are they? Your colony?

No way, they're "wild stickers".

Wild stickers?

They infest the underground space.

But maybe...

you and I may end up like them eventually.

No, not a chance.

If we're inside a smartphone, maybe there are clues in it?

Show me yours. There may be clues for escape.

I don't have one.

Why not?

I don't need it anymore.

What?

Shiori!

Where am I?

The human world is cruel. The weak remain as bottom feeders.

What?

But this world has liberated me from the crude reality.

There's no reason to return nor need for a smartphone.

But that's...

Or maybe I lost my smartphone and turned into a sticker.

Right, I should text Kirara...

THIS ACCOUNT DOES NOT EXIST

Kirara's account has vanished.

But why?

Sorry, everyone, listen, you may not believe it,

but I got transported into a smartphone isekai.

Someone, help me!

"Smartphone isekai"?

- What a joke. - Hilarious.

Hey!

Sorry, sorry! I may have lost my mind.

But it's true!

What are you apologizing so much for?

But...

Truth is, you lost your place in that world, just like me.

Don't be ridiculous!

Hello?

How dare you? Because of you, I'm a loony now!

Who's this?

It's me! ME!

"Me"?

Girl, you look pathetic.

- Why are there two of me? - You're right.

Listen, don't pull crap like that.

That's...!

Cute, huh?

See ya!

My part-time job savings!

Money's no use to us now.

I've been saving up to open a café with Kirara.

Yeah? Like a themed cafe?

Not a shady kind you frequent.

One day, with Kirara's artistic sense,

and a stylish interior...

Throughout history,

ambiguous wishes like that get devoured by clear desires.

That's probably the selfish part of you left in the real world.

Selfishness wins in that world. You can't beat reality.

My reality...

At this rate...

No way...

My account got hacked.

Where to?

You know where! My home!

I'll go home, eat, sleep plenty, and wake up from this nightmare.

She's late.

She'll be home soon.

I'm home.

Mom? Where are you?

I'm in a bit of trouble...

Sometimes you really surprise us.

Huh?

Spending 30,000 yen for a cab. Your father's in utter shock.

He's sleeping it off.

No! That's not me!

It's okay, it's fine.

I'll tell him you're at that age.

Listen to me, Mom.

Just apologize tomorrow.

He's already bummed no trainees signed up.

I said, it's not me!

Why won't you believe me?

Have I done something wrong?

I don't remember doing anything wrong.

Though I've no recollection.

Komori? Why are you here?

Sorry, I sensed someone was here.

What shall I do?

Ask your boyfriend for help?

Not really into that.

Quite the thing to say.

This is a dream as I suspected. One big nightmare.

I'm going to sleep. Good night.

I think this is for real.

So it is really happening.

Someone, help me!

I'm trapped in a deserted city that does not actually exist.

My imposter's taken over in the real world.

A weird rabbit sticker claims we're inside a smartphone.

A world for the broken-hearted — lose your phone and turn into a sticker.

I feel so lost here...

"SUGURU: You may be my destiny."

Are you okay?

He's...

Will you help me?

Hello?

We met on the escalator?

You really pique my interest.

So, will you help me?

Find the cause of your mental distress and I may be able to help.

Forget my mental state. I'm actually trapped in here.

You're probably too sensitive.

Sensitive?

Hence very vulnerable.

But... I'm not sensitive...

Perhaps the issue with your friend made your brain susceptible?

What issue?

You were venting on your account about that video.

Why do you have access to DonkeyEar?

My college thesis is on smartphones.

I'm great at sleuthing, too.

Let me tell you about my research.

As telecommunication standards advance from 4G to 5G, radio waves get shorter.

Shorter waves carry more data, and each time, smartphones evolve.

While furthering this trend,

when it's tuned to brain neuron ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.005 mm,

the axons begin to resonate.

Enabling smartphones to access the brain in a minimally invasive, direct manner.

I named this system "XG."

You totally lost me...

Simply put, directly connecting the brain and the smartphone.

The brain and the smartphone?

I was conducting test transmissions of special radio waves for XG.

Your highly susceptible brain was impacted and had some kind of vision.

So, it's because of your experiment?

That's hard to say.

I don't even know exactly what my experiment will lead to.

That's so irresponsible!

Thus I'm rushing to complete my system.

I want to help you.

Besides, if your other half is here, I can go talk to her tomorrow.

Can I go back?

Don't worry, I will make sure you'll get your "true" self back.

Thank you.

A word of advice?

Yes?

I think the video went viral because people noticed your unrecognized charm.

No way, that can't be possible.

Beware of your battery charge.

You may turn into a sticker once it's out.

Oops! I'm down to 3%.

It's late. Relax and have a good night's sleep.

I feel better...

The other self...

I see...

If I incorporate her into the system...

She truly is... my destiny!

How beautiful...

Trapping me in here...

How unfair!

Why? Was it a dream?

It's not a dream!

Why are you there?

Because... this is my home.

Who are you?

I am me. I am you, obviously.

There's no way you are me!

Don't worry. Leave the rest to me.

What?

Ta-da!

Gotta go!

Hey! Wait!

Is that really Maezawa?

Acting strange since yesterday.

- What was that text? - What's up?

You... What happened to you?

I'm reborn!

Maezawa! Amazing!

Sorry about yesterday, you caught me off guard.

No worries at all.

Wow, a total makeover.

Is your case a brand name?

Yep. Wanna see?

What's this, guys?

Class is starting.

All good, just relax.

Class, thumbs up with Tosaka!

Like pose!

Are you really Maezawa?

You still can't pitch straight?

Dad, relax. Take it easy.

Likes are skyrocketing.

I can see that...

Why are you here, Komori? You're trespassing.

Hey, relax,

there's only you and me in this world anyway.

That's not the point.

But it is.

That aside, something's bothering you?

The uploaded photos. For some reason, Kirara's not there.

Right on track. But far from the target.

To get 100 million likes, I need to go all in on something real.

Kurashina residence.

Hello? This is Maezawa.

Shiori? How've you been?

Sorry, how's Kirara? Haven't been able to reach her lately.

Sorry to have you worried. Kirara's been a little...

She doesn't want to see anyone now.

I see...

No one is home as suspected.

Told you. Just you and me here.

It's locked.

A key...

Komori.

This is... really... trespassing.

There's only you and me, right?

How awful.

What a mess.

What happened here?

Probably your friend was also trapped in here.

Turned into a sticker already...

That's ludicrous...

It won't turn on.

What's this pattern?

Sorry... Thinking about you two,

I can't help it...

Hurting each other over slight misunderstandings.

How cruel reality is.

From the looks of it, your friend cracked

because of you, Shiori.

BLACK MAGIC ON SMARTPHONES

That pattern is... a curse of a sort.

That's...

Found you.

Shiori!

You can't escape.

What is this?

This way.

You can't escape.

- My phone. - Not now!

What is it that I want to do?

Perhaps the things she's avoiding?

I know, I should ask AI...

For real? I lost it?

Where are we now?

The space feels distorted.

Is that you, Kirara?

Wait! Hold on, Kirara!

What is this place?

Stickers?

What the hell...

The wild stickers are people whose souls have been extracted here.

You don't belong here.

- Rule violation. - Rule violation?

The hands!

Damn!

Rule violation! Rule violation!

Here we go!

Pattern authentication!?

Not from the back side.

It's a "N."

A large "N" from the bottom.

Okay!

"N"... Huh?

The other way! Like this!

One in all! All in one!

- There's no use running! - Komori!

Like!

How come we can't get through?

Is there a bug in this world?

Look for another route!

Well, we're in a pickle now...

I lost them?

A song?

Welcome.

Kirara...

Right?

Where is the exit?

Where am I?

The world deep within.

Deep within?

Then those stickers?

Fake masks.

People all hide their fear and sadness behind their stickers.

Behind their stickers?

They all turn into stickers to forget their loneliness and sorrow.

You are the same.

You'll turn into a sticker soon.

We finally caught up.

Where? Where is my phone?

My smartphone...

Without it, my likes...

My likes will...

all disappear!

- There you are. - What?

You're looking for this?

The other Shiori.

Thank you.

Stop! Stop it!

The passcode is...

Hey! Let go!

- You're a cheat. - A cheat?

Yeah, a rule violator.

Two of you cannot exist simultaneously.

One of you must go.

That's not funny! That's not me! She's the fake!

Is she really?

100 million likes is proof she's been recognized by people.

No, I'm the real me!

You only have one domain.

We'll turn the one whose power runs out into a sticker.

No!

"N"!

Safe! Just in time!

Komori! I was so scared!

Shiori, calm down.

You were passed out.

What? Then that was just a dream?

It's all a bad dream.

Thank you.

But I swear, she was...

Kirara.

You saw your friend?

Kirara, this is Shiori.

If your smartphone screen cracked and you're trapped in this world,

contact me. Let's go back together!

But if you cannot reach me,

I have a secret account I kept from everyone.

The account name is...

"DonkeyEar."

What a shocker that this world is connected to your dream world.

I'm not sure about that,

but I need to get in touch with Kirara.

Kirara?

This is...

Who is it?

Suguru!

Suguru, I'm in real trouble! My friend Kirara's also...

It's you, Suguru, right?

It's me. I came to see the other you, as promised.

You brat, you messing with me?

Huh? You bumped into me!

- Hey you two... - The hell!

Take this!

- She out of her mind? - SHIORI?

Hey...

We all want to have fun here!

No thank you to cocky showoffs.

Stop it already...

Your other self is so lively.

She's not me!

It's not for you to decide. The others do.

She's pursuing 100 million Likes and getting closer to her "ideal self."

Who are you?

I am me.

Huh? Don't you know?

Hyper media producer, Suguru Kagami.

You were... tricking me?

Don't!

You'll sever your connection to the real world!

Bye now!

Given the development so far,

this world could be a structure he built upon the network,

a so-called "architecture."

Why did I have this when I came to in this world?

I assumed it was because of my favorite pin-up girl.

But the true reason was here.

Says here the accused S.K...

Suguru Kagami scammed people suffering from social media backlash.

He claimed his "XG system" could save them.

I must have been one of his victims.

XG...

That's it! Suguru mentioned it.

Connecting the smartphone to the brain.

Connect to the brain?

So this world is connected to your deep psyche,

unstable on a quantum level?

I bet I was sent to the sticker factory we saw for similar reasons.

That means we can save Kirara who was there?

But if the other Shiori gets 100 million likes and becomes her ideal self,

most likely it's game over for us.

You're already creating a buzz.

"High school girl hijacks an event in Yokohama with a rap battle."

Awesome.

It's awful.

He provoked me, so I threw him. Great if it leads to more likes, but...

Please, help me God!

Let me win more likes, so I can crush Kirara.

That'll come true soon.

Really?

"Mysterious high school girl chasing 100 million likes to be her ideal self."

"Produced by Suguru Kagami, named one of ten to save Japan."

Just the kind of story the public eats up.

I doubt people would listen to an ordinary teenager's story.

Sing and dance your message to the world.

Become the icon of the time and your wish will come true.

In the end, image is power in today's world.

Since that day,

that Shiori Maezawa became SHIORI@REVOLUTION,

starting her journey as the most famous Japanese high school girl.

On the other hand, our Shiori...

No way! She's picking up the pace!

Their soft serve is so yummy! My fav!

Wrong! Just acting posh! My true favorite is sweet bun!

Today's buy! Looking good?

Always in lame jerseys! I don't buy fancy clothes!

Look! The latest color is so cool!

This isn't the real me! Believe me! Please!

Sorry, everyone! Seems like I've been hacked, but no worries!

A great tune playing on F-Yoko!

LOADING

Good evening to my regular fans and some new faces!

SHIORI@REVOLUTION Channel starting today!

Please subscribe as we'll have a lot of exciting content coming soon!

Mom, Dad, are you watching?

They're not... They're early birds, so they're asleep already.

THE SHIORI MAEZAWA HERE IS A FAKE!

IMAGE RIGHTS RELEASED!

My "right of publicity," is it? Yep, I'm unlocking mine.

Yeah!

- SHIORI boom on its way! - Free to do tie-ins?

- Worried it'll be abused. - That kinda business?

Well, not really a business... More like a message?

Anyway, I'm all for collaborating on things we can all enjoy.

Feel free to use me for that.

Welcome.

Just as you said. All happened so quickly.

Though far from 100 million likes.

Still, good results so far.

But I'm getting backlash, too.

- Isn't SHIORI annoying? - Hate her.

- Not all that. - Why the sudden push?

- Imposter rumor true? - "NarcisShiori." (LOL)

- Name only, no content. - Bought her way up.

Are they unhappy because I seem happy?

Dissing someone else won't bring themselves up.

Trash in the trash can.

Delete those we don't need.

They vanished.

The real world and the virtual world are two sides of the same coin.

Yeah?

Your brain and my brain are connected to the network via XG.

So those I just deleted are no longer in our reality.

That means... what happens if everyone in the world installs XG?

That's right. People who get in your way will vanish.

So dance, sing, write music.

Huh?

Express yourself as you wish.

H-Hey!

Your history is very appealing.

Your childhood dream, your secret desire.

Stop! You can't just look!

Let go!

Don't be afraid.

You're no longer alone.

The café in my dream. There must be an entrance somewhere.

At this rate, she'll reach her target.

What if Kirara herself is choosing to stay in this world?

No way. She's not you.

Are you sure?

I have no idea why Suguru Kagami created this world,

but there are no disputes here nor unnecessary pressure on you.

If Kirara was hurt in the real world, no wonder she might want to let it go.

Even so, I will save Kirara.

If so, the only way is to take Suguru Kagami's smartphone.

But how?

A trash can?

- What's going on? - Where is this?

Who are you? Get out of my way!

- Whoa! - What the hell?

What's happening?

I remember dissing SHIORI on my phone, but... Huh?

What's this?

Damn annoying.

That's...!

Komori, that cute sticker!

Huh? What about it?

It's the one Kirara used.

Shiori!

How dare you!

Let go!

Take this!

What the hell?

Are you Kirara?

Wait! Where are you going?

Kirara's sticker... But why?

We need to get his phone.

22,440 LIKES!

Look at this! She's getting so many more likes!

- Look at the photo closely. - Huh?

This guy's brain is now totally driven by testosterone.

Can I ask you one thing?

Why is everything going as you say?

In high school, I was a pretty well-known gamer.

I was highly acclaimed for an app I programmed based on that experience.

But the more I was acclaimed online...

DROP DEAD

my app's reviews went up in flames.

Okay. And?

That's when I decided.

I'd research ways to save people from groundless flaming.

And discovered that advanced smartphone waves

can have harmful effects on the brain.

Is that true?

So instead, I thought about using that to free people's minds.

And that's XG?

But that was just a delusion.

But it's completed, right?

Thanks to you.

Me?

You divided into two to change yourself, right?

That made me realize.

I just have to redesign myself.

What do you mean?

I rewrote my own data so I could become

my ideal self that can complete XG.

For real?

Forget the past.

Let's talk about the future.

What?

We will spread XG to the masses and create a world

where everyone can live as their ideal self.

That's wonderful.

A world where everyone can live as their ideal self.

That's what I wanted....

SHIORI MAEZAWA

You stalking me?

Please! Delete the app XG from your phone!

Then this nightmare will end!

Huh? But it'll destroy my plan!

And don't go to Suguru's room even if he asks!

Komori says his brain is driven by testosterone.

Lemme guess what you're thinking.

What?

"Did I match my underwear today?!"

"Oh no! What'll I do?"

"What do people do? Should I search online?"

You're so lame!

That's you.

I'll pursue my ideal self even if you keep interfering.

It's stupid to give up your ideal only to please others.

Hey, your body... Something weird is going on...

If you've no ideal, be gone.

That time, deep down, you wanted to beat Kirara.

You were hoping to get 100 million Likes!

I never thought that! Besides, you're...

- You're just... - Time's up!

You're just trying hard to act big!

CALL ENDED

Yamada, please! Come to InterContinental now!

What's this? So random. No way.

Not what I'd expect of a teenage boy.

We're just childhood friends. Just friends!

I know that.

You're the only one I got!

You like me, right?

Eww! So cheesy!

Why bring it up now?

What's that?

SHIORI@REVOLUTION Festival that'll change the world.

Amidst the excitement and joy, XG will reach its true completion.

So this is your utopia.

It's time. Let's get started.

Unlocked.

Kagami seems to be in Suite 2501.

If I hack the room key in this world from this terminal...

- I'm here. - Yamada?

Get to the suite and look for a phone! Room 2501 on 25F!

A phone?

Aren't you kidnapped in the hotel?

I am! It's a kidnapping!

But I'm not a guest. How will I enter?

Find a way!

Find a way...?

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you for coming and welcome to the SHIORI Summit today.

Allow me to present to you my father, a judo master.

When I was little, he made me practice judo.

At our home dojo with his trainees,

day after day, sparring and fall breaking.

It hurt and stunk real bad, and I got buff...

I got sick of myself being so different from other girls.

That's when I met her.

Her singing and dancing shone brightly.

The girl inside me was screaming, "I want to be like her!"

I forgot judo, and we sang and danced together.

It was so much fun!

But there was an undeniable difference between us.

Only Kirara got likes from everyone.

This world is a game of musical chairs.

If someone sits in a chair, then no one else can sit in it.

I desperately wanted to be loved by everyone just like her,

but there was only one chair for her.

But I got my own.

If each of us could get our own "ideal self" chair just like me,

then no one will ever get hurt or give up their dream.

I am here today to advocate

a smartphone app that'll turn everyone's ideal into reality:

XG, the foundation of the new world.

Let's change the world with this new innovation.

People's ideals will be fulfilled, and their discontent will vanish.

What do you say?

I see, that's wonderful.

The large-scale public experiment in

Minatomirai District shall be officially approved soon.

I appreciate it.

Room service.

Please enjoy.

Let's toast to our bright future.

It's non-alcoholic.

Huh? What?

That's...

This is the culmination of my true wishes.

You also came from the other world?

You did, too?

Just as I thought, we are destined for each other.

What are we?

We are ourselves.

We’re probably the consciousness that lives inside this.

But the container cracked to pieces like this.

We emerged into this world to gain a real physical body.

What'll happen to us when the festival succeeds?

Leave everything to me.

Suguru?

Y-You...

Get off Maezawa!

Why are you here?

Give it back!

She's only a high schooler...

You suck!

I'm running out of time...

Damn, what a hard blow.

There's two of her? That makes no sense.

I haven't been reported, have I?

Yamada? Can you see me sitting right across from you?

This is Komori. As you can see...

A sticker? For real?

It's no prank, is it?

I know it's hard to believe.

You saw my video, right?

With you falling?

I got so many harsh comments.

Seeing that, my smartphone screen cracked on its own.

I've been trapped in here ever since.

They say I'm broken, thus worthless to the world.

But how'd I know I'm broken!

You're making no sense.

I know, but that's the reality.

Fine, I get it. I'll believe you.

Something big seems to be happening.

Besides...

Besides?

Looking at you, I can tell you're not lying.

- Yamada! - Shiori, stop!

We might be able to find Kirara with your help!

More crazy stunts for me?

Oh, sorry... Will you help?

Kirara may be also trapped here because her phone cracked.

You've always been all over the place...

Wait, they said something strange.

About a real body or something.

A real body, virtual space, and a labyrinth of deep psyche.

Your other self, your true self...

Komori?

The festival and XG...

- Kagami's plan is... - Komori?

What about the festival?

- Komori, get a grip! - What's wrong?

Komori...?

Oh no...

What should I...

Komori...

Shut up... Shut up!

Mornin' everyone!

It's SHIORI@REVOLUTION Festival today!

THREE WEEKS LATER...

Download the app and witness the world get reborn with me!

See you at Cosmo World tonight!

You're giving up? I've been up all night trying to save you!

I thought deep and hard, too, but...

Komori said he was sent here because his heart broke.

I must be the same... broken and unwanted.

I might as well have turned into a sticker, too.

No memory, no pain or sorrow.

Besides, me in that world seems happy, doesn't she?

Wait! Just calm down.

The key to their plan is the special smartphone radio waves,

so find that wacko's transmitter and destroy it.

Can you?

Well...

Yokohama alone has over 100 base stations.

They might use TV station gear to broadcast more widely.

We're screwed. The festival's tonight.

You giving up on Kirara so easily?

No way!

Kirara probably turned into a sticker because of me...

M-Maezawa? Maezawa?

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry for dragging you into this.

But why are you so dedicated?

You've no obligation to help me.

Is it for Kirara?

No way!

I... It's because you said, "Help me if you like me."

What? That was Komori. I wouldn't say something that cheesy.

What? For real?

But that's... You... I mean...

Don't tell me you've forgotten about breaking my arm!

What? Arm?

We need to talk.

You know her, don't you?

The other me in the other world.

W-What're you talking about?

No need to act dumb.

The one who you're trying to help is also me.

Isn't that enough?

N-No, for me, you're not Maezawa.

But she's forgotten what she's done to me.

I see, she's erased her memory of breaking your arm.

Erased?

Isn't that betrayal?

But you remember?

I thought of killing you.

Seriously?

A goody two-shoes and a coward who conveniently forgets unpleasant things.

What is it you're after?

I want to beat fate!

I'll get 100 million likes and become the ideal me everyone loves.

So I don't need her anymore!

You...

An invitation from me.

I'll make it one memorable night!

Hey, wait...

Suguru, that's...

I'm about to vanish.

Don't worry. Everything will go well.

Yeah.

Him from the other day?

Yeah, seems to be on her side.

I bet the world is coming to an end...

Yamada?

They just went into the festival venue.

I see.

Didn't Kagami mention anything about the alleged fraud?

I don't know anything about Suguru.

What?

When we met, he looked old, but he said he was in college.

And now a celebrity...

Say that sooner!

According to this curation site of lousy colleges and crappy research...

if Kagami’s in college, it's very likely his lab is here.

I know this place! Kirara and I took the video...

Bullseye!

I feel I made a full circle.

I got in?

What is this place?

Hey, will I really get 100 million "likes" with this?

Let's start the rehearsal.

Suguru!

What's this? So gross!

When will you get 100 million likes?

Get out of my way!

Maybe she's not loved.

- She lacks confidence. So empty. - Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Maezawa! You okay?

I know!

Hey, wait!

What's causing this?

So this is indeed Suguru's lab.

A "contract member"?

Lemme see, Komori, Komori, Komori...

He's not here?

Huh? Oh...

This here...

Komori...?

Huh?

Hey, that smartphone...

Could it be yours, Komori?

But... remember!

Hey, Komori?

Shiori?

Komori.

What happened while I was passed out?

Oh, well...

Komori, you are Suguru Kagami.

What the...! That can't be!

"January 16, 2018 - Manami Akashi."

"Another onslaught of slander..."

"My mind started to dull, like I was inside a fishbowl."

"People's voices sound like insults at me."

"February 14 - I hallucinated that stickers came to life."

You tried to help these people,

but the allegations were too extreme, you got bashed hard online.

The magazine framed it as a fraud case, and I broke.

Repeated flaming hurt me severely.

I developed severe anxiety from mental distress,

and failed the college entrance exam three times.

After joining a third-tier college, I built this system at my own startup.

But in fear of flaming again,

I created a new persona to stand in for me.

That's this three-eyed Rabbit-Man.

Quite impressive...

But in reality, I've been reduced to a shabby sticker.

You've been trying so hard all this time.

And yet...

The XG... system... I created...

This world was born... because it was incomplete...

What's worse...

Everyone... Everyone has been turned into stickers...

Huh?

- You're... - Kirara?

You're one of the victims? Here to blame me?

Aren't you Kirara?

Sorry!

Wait!

Komori, stop the XG!

I... I refuse!

Why? Let's both go back to the real world!

I'm a conman in the real world! That's too overwhelming!

Don't be ridiculous!

In the end, I don't need the truth or reality!

Komori, please, show some courage.

No...

Fine! I'll do as I please too then!

What a face.

But I'm not ready to vanish just yet.

At this rate... at this rate...

I see.

The system is down because of you.

Could it be...

SUGURU KAGAMI

You're still around, I see. It's been seven years, hasn't it?

I-I regained my memory to stop your wrongdoings.

I started settling your grudges,

since you're too weak to do it yourself.

I never asked you to!

You hiding in the labyrinth of deception keeps my existence uncertain.

Shut up!

What can you do? You're just a bunch of post data!

Shut up! You trash!

I will gain a body and a real existence.

Wait!

Virtuarion Combat System activated!

Imaginary merge!

Boost on!

Cockpit on!

Virtuarion Rabbit!

That's... Could it be...?

From that game I used to play.

There you are!

Crap!

Huh?

What?

What's that giant rabbit?

Ugh... I'm so pathetic...

Isn't there a way to stop him?

Hm? This is...!

No...

Transform!

Huh?

Leave this to me!

Is that you, Komori?

O-Okay! Let's go, guys!

As long as there's malice in this world! Put out the online flames!

Giant Rabbit-Man!

What a surprise. A coward like you fighting back.

I won't let you have it your way!

Yamada! Where are you?

I thought I could get you back if I tried hard...

Go to Kirara's place now!

Komori's in real trouble! Suguru's trying to erase this world!

Slow down. Explain it to me so I can understand.

What?

I see it now, too.

Stop using Shiori for your own gain!

Stop dodging...

Service Vehicle Beam!

Iron Fan Barrier!

Gotcha.

You dragged her into this world to ease your loneliness.

You're the one acting for your selfish gain.

That's... total rubbish!

That's bull! A total nonsense!

Jigen-maru Dimension Attack!

Oh no...

So weak, so weak....

Stop, Suguru!

Oh, it's you.

Soon, I'll let you get your true self back as promised.

What'll you use her for?

You and I... meaning she and I will rewrite this world

so everyone will be able to become their ideal selves.

You mustn't!

Everyone will lose their real selves. That must not happen!

No, the real world is the prison!

What?

Crap! I'm out of battery!

Move, legs!

Komori, you okay?

Shiori... Get out of here.

But... Huh?

That's no good!

Bend your knees, lower your body, then lunge forward!

O-Okay.

Why?

I will protect this world!

Amazing, Komori!

Everyone.

You're merely a shabby sticker that lost out in the real world!

I won't lose this time!

Shut up! I'll end you with this.

What?

Huh?

Thank you, everyone!

Incredible! This is amazing, guys!

Eat this! Eternal Bashing!

Self-Acceptance Attack!

Rabbit-Man!

Shiori!

Not yet!

Eject!

Komori!

Shiori...

Kirara, you've changed.

It's like we swapped places.

- What's this letter? - Huh?

A sick joke?

I failed... again...

The nuisance is gone. The main event begins now.

What did you say to Kirara?

I always looked up to Kirara.

But now, I know better seeing her.

I don't need Kirara anymore.

Maezawa...

That was Maezawa, but she's not the real Maezawa!

Huh?

Also, lend me a power bank!

Komori!

I... tried, but...

- This is... - You did great.

- ...all I could do... - You were amazing.

You protected everybody.

You're crying for him, too?

KENTO YAMADA

Huh? Kirara?

Is it you... Shiori?

Yeah, the real Shiori.

I'll save the Kirara trapped in the labyrinth. I promise!

What? Trapped?

Being trapped in here, I, too, lost many things.

Now another dear friend is hurting because of me.

I can't take it anymore. I don't want to lose you, too.

So, let me be brave and ask you.

Why did you upload that video without asking me?

Shiori... Remember the video we took when we were small?

Of course. I only got 15 likes...

That may be so, but not entirely true...

What?

Sure, I got plenty of likes, but the comments on my account

were mainly about how cute you were.

What?

But I used that to keep trying harder.

So not to lose to you.

Truth is, you always made me feel small.

But I've been trying so hard.

I thought maybe it'd end differently.

That's why I posted the video.

So... it was intentional...

But... the result was the same.

I was so shocked, I started seeing things, too.

Then you said you saw it, too...

I got scared it may be all because of my black magic,

so I broke my smartphone on the spot.

So Kirara, you're not trapped in that café?

No...

Then who's that at the café?

What do you mean?

But I'm glad... that you're safe, Kirara.

I'm sorry I can't do anything for you,

but I'm so tired...

Huh?

So what the other Shiori said is true.

Shiori, you don't need me anymore.

Huh? That's not...

Huh? Shiori? Shiori!

We are welcoming a large number of guests here today.

We will invite you in as the gates open, so we ask for your patience.

I'm not scared, I'm not scared...

- It's all gone! - Gone?

Her account's all gone.

Seriously?

Dammit!

She vanished without remembering what she did to me.

Gave me so much trouble, but not even a goodbye...

Kirara...

I...

I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU - MANAMI

This here...

That sticker... must be that girl Komori tried to help.

Komori, she felt your efforts, I bet...

So Kirara must get my feelings, too, right?

It's not that we couldn't do anything, right?

Goodbye, everyone...

Goodbye, me...

I'm not scared, I'm not scared...

I'm good,

I have 100 million likes backing me!

Look! A letter from Shiori!

It has her secret account, DonkeyEar!

For real?

Shiori's not gone yet!

She has returned to where she belongs.

Returned in her destined form.

That's right, you can forget everything.

Labyrinth, the place of eternity and oblivion.

Deep within people's hearts...

Deep within?

I...

I see. So I turned into a sticker as well...

They all bring back memories...

I want Shiori to learn judo to develop a strong, invincible heart.

But she doesn't want to, so let her be.

I... I'll do it.

That moment, I...

I thought Dad would be sad if I acted selfish.

Aren't you going to go see?

You afraid your daughter's turning into a stranger?

That's not possible!

While I go destroy that, Kirara...

do whatever it takes to see Maezawa.

Will Shiori really be able to return?

It's not a question. We must bring her back!

Okay.

Did you think I vanished?

Took out the garbage, so our existence has been secured.

Now all we have to do is to create a new world.

A new world.

Like! Like! Like!

Like! Like! Like!

Like! Like! Like!

100 million!

Sailor, sail on

Sailor, sail on

Ever so faint in the air, that melody

Echoing far away, your harmony

It's started...

A glimpse of the past, a memory

Vanishing into bubbles in the distance

I choke back this trembling voice

Today again, I set sail on my journey

Sailor, sail on to the future Onwards, sail, sail away

Alone in the mirrored world Dance, dance, dance

Sailor, sail on to tomorrow Onwards, sail, sail away

With my reflection by my side Dance, dance, dance

The headwind lashes against my heart I keep sailing toward the shining star

Shiori...

Singing until my voice runs dry

Sailor, sail on

Sailor, sail on

Ever so faint in the air, that melody

Echoing far away, your harmony

A glimpse of the past, a memory

Vanishing into bubbles in the distance

I choke back this trembling voice

Today again, I set sail on my journey

Damn!

What? Yamada?

Maezawa?

So this is the end?

Maezawa!

W-What?

H-Hey, you...

You like me, don't you?

I'll go out with you, if you want.

How dare you!

You suck!

I don't remember that!

What?

This is bad... Huh?

I'm sorry, Yamada.

What? Could it be you...

Shiori?

Will this world vanish, too?

Yamada?

Maezawa? What happened to you?

Don't, there's no return once you cross!

Your other self is in trouble.

What? She is?

Log in to DonkeyEar!

I'm out of battery!

Catch!

Yes! My DonkeyEar account...

It's Kirara. Call Yamada's phone when you get this.

Kirara!

Shiori? You okay... are you?

I always had fun because I had you, Kirara.

I could keep going, thanks to you, so...

You're my everything, Kirara!

Thank you.

But I'm not your everything, Shiori.

Because Shiori, you're you.

What? I am me?

Listen, everyone! The world has been reborn!

As I bless all of you, I hereby declare that

Shiori and I will become the Adam and Eve of the new world!

Huh? What?

Here, shall we?

Huh? No!

Come with me, Shiori.

Hold on!

Yamada?

You again?

- Shiori Maezawa. - Huh?

I, Kento Yamada, have

seen and learned a new, compelling side of you.

What the... What's this?

Four years ago,

I asked you out in the utmost pathetic way because of my immaturity.

As a guy, I hurt you.

Please accept my sincere apology!

- Delete all nuisances. - What?

Huh? What?

Huh? Why are they all you and me?

It's only natural. Their ideal is you and me.

No! This isn't the world I dreamed of!

It's meaningless if each of us can't live our own dreams!

Oh, crap.

Take him out.

Yes, sir!

Shiori!

Picking one of you over the other...

- Let's go. - Stop, let go!

I can't...

I can't pick just one!

What the...

So the both of you!

I ask you...

What?

Please go out with me!

What?

I beg you!

What're you... What?

You're still there?

How far will you pull me down?

Always being such a people-pleaser,

busy sending stickers...

so I forced myself to...

Forced yourself?

I did everything I could to...

I went the extra mile and got 100 million likes, but...

Huh? That shape...

Huh?

Regardless of how many likes I got,

my pain didn't go away...

I'm sorry!

Your apologies are so brazen!

Don't!

I finally get it.

My smartphone didn't crack on its own, I broke it.

Huh?

My dream, my future potential... I broke them all...

Too afraid to take a step...

The more I masked my feelings with stickers, I have been...

cracking you... and me...

I...

I... to be honest... I was a bit jealous of you.

You actively did things I couldn't.

You... kept moving forward....

But... in the end, I went overboard...

Since I didn't know... what I really wanted to do.

Huh?

Didn't know...?

Is that me?

I want to find it!

Thank you... me.

But what I wanted wasn't someone's random like...

It was our...

You and me...

Our overflowing emotions.

We'll always be together from now on, alright?

A glimpse of the past, a memory

Vanishing into bubbles in the distance

I choke back this trembling voice

Today again...

Today again, I set sail on my journey

Set sail once more

Sailor, sail on to the future Sail away

Alone in the mirrored world Dance, dance, dance

Sailor, sail on to tomorrow Sail away

I'll take you all out! Delete all!

The headwind lashes against my heart I keep sailing toward that star

Carrying these...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I am...

I am...

- Me... - Me...

The headwind lashes against my heart I keep sailing toward that star

Damn you!

I got you!

How dare you!

Maezawa!

Carrying these wavering feelings, I sing until my voice runs dry

Take this!

Fall break!

Shiori.

Kirara...

You're...

the real Shiori, right?

Huh? What?

Good, you're the Shiori I know!

Shiori! Shiori!

Come on, your curtain call.

Huh? What? Okay...

You beat me... Shiori...

She has set off on her own journey by herself...

I'll always be with you, dear.

Shiori!

I'm going to go take responsibility for what I have done.

Responsibility?

Is that you, Komori?

Thank you.

Thanks to you, I've found some courage.

Me too... Thanks to you...

I really got...

got a lot of courage!

Then Maezawa... will you give me an answer?

Thanks, Yamada.

But...

Not now.

Take this!
