174
00:20:10,827 --> 00:20:14,241
he is flat,
there's no emotion.

175
00:20:14,344 --> 00:20:17,241
But here, Yu Masaki,
we see him

176
00:20:17,344 --> 00:20:20,344
sauntering up to
the judge's bench.

177
00:20:20,448 --> 00:20:23,310
It's the most emotion
we've seen out of him so far.

178
00:20:23,413 --> 00:20:25,827
He's smiling,
he's suddenly important.

179
00:20:25,931 --> 00:20:27,448
He's relevant.

180
00:20:27,551 --> 00:20:30,034
People see him,
people hear him, and I think

181
00:20:30,137 --> 00:20:32,206
that's ultimately what
Yu Masaki was after,

182
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:34,206
and he got what he wanted.
