Original subtitles

S-stop that!

Go ahead...

Take your pick.

These women are all gathered here in order to procreate with you.

Year 2040 Tokyo Elisa!

I've always loved you!

I'm aware.

We've known each other for a while.

You're right.

We'll have been together for over ten years, from elementary school to university.

And you're only telling me this now.

And letting you know that it won't last until next year.

I won't be here next year.

Huh, why's that?

Are you moving?

I have multiple sclerosis.

I went for a consultation because I didn't feel well.

They told me that I need to be hospitalized immediately.

This disease...

According to a study, you can use AI to replace the damaged cells.

Everything's okay. You'll recover.

Yes, but...

This treatment lasts at least five years.

I'll need to be put into a cryogenic sleep.

For five years?

I'll be cured while I'm asleep.

I just wanted to let you know beforehand.

Reito...

Maeda confessed to you, right?

Did you accept?

And you, what do you want me to do?

It isn't up to me to decide.

You love me, don't you?

Well...

That's why I didn't want to tell you to wait for me for five years.

I understand.

Elisa...

And? And?

What did Elisa say?

We got into an argument, and well...

I see.

Good news, huh Mahiru?

That hurt...

You should be the one getting cryogenized instead!

Why are you so aggressive?

Why did you do that?

A society where modern science is progressing dramatically.

Food, computers, medicine...

We live in an era where everything is technological.

People have been liberated from their obligations.

Instead of working, they spend their lives

doing whatever they want.

- Hey, Reito... - Huh?

Do you really want to do this?

I don't have a choice.

We will arrive at the hospital in three minutes.

Mr. Mizuhara... Mr. Mizuhara Reito!

From what I can see, it hasn't worsened.

You shouldn't have any health problems during your cryogenic sleep.

It's reassuring that you're the one who's taking care of me.

You should be thanking the medical center for their prowess instead.

No, don't say that.

The AI should take five years to cure your disease.

In the best case scenario, three years.

When you wake up, you'll be cured.

Then you'll go for a checkup, and that'll be it.

Okay.

Five years, huh?

Rei!

Do your best! Get better and come back to us!

I don't really need to do my best here.

- Rei! - Reito.

- Don't go! - I'm sorry for putting you through this.

Don't worry too much about us.

Come back to us quickly.

Yes.

Mr. Mizuhara, I'm sorry, but you can't keep your pendant.

Ah, understood.

Please, I need to see him!

I'm sorry, but only family members...

Just for a moment, I beg of you.

Elisa!

Let her in.

She's part of the family.

Big brother.

Ryu.

Hello...

Umm, I came to say goodbye.

I don't know if that's the appropriate term. Rather, "good night".

I see. Thank you.

Elisa...

Can you keep this for me?

When I wake up, I'm counting on you to give it back.

Yes!

Rei! Rei!

-Get better! Promise you'll get better! - This is it, I'm here...

When I wake up in five years, they'll all be adults...

I don't want that...

I don't want to leave them behind.

Reito! Reito!

What is Elisa...

trying to tell me?

I'll wait for you!

I'll never stop waiting for you!

There's no denying it... She has such a pretty face.

Elisa?

No...

That isn't her.

Good morning, Master Mizuhara.

Umm...

Good morning.

I woke up from my cryogenic sleep?

Umm, what year is it?

2045.

Five years. It's really been five years...

Master Mizuhara.

First, go take a shower.

After that, we will run a diagnostic.

Rest assured, you're in perfect health.

Really?

Yes. During your cryogenic sleep, the AI replaced all of your cells.

I'm so glad.

Umm, is Dr. Takagi here?

I'd like to thank him.

Dr. Takagi...

He isn't here anymore.

He changed hospitals?

No...

Umm, I mean...

You must have your internal reasons.

Forgive my rudeness.

I'd like to see my family again.

Let me explain, Master Mizuhara.

Can you follow me?

Pardon?

I need to talk to you about what happened during your cryogenic sleep.

Huh?

What the hell is this?

I can't even see outside.

I have not introduced myself properly. I am your caretaker.

My name is Mira Suou.

My caretaker?

Yes. I will be entirely at your service,

and I will take care of all interactions with the outside world on your behalf.

Taking care of me... Aren't I cured?

Yes, you are.

Then why?

Earlier you said that you would explain...

Can you do it now?

If you wish.

Around four years ago, a virus called the "MK Virus",

suddenly appeared and spread around the world.

The MK Virus?

People who were infected died after three days.

This virus spread rapidly through the air

and it became a global pandemic.

Four years ago?

But then you found a vaccine, right?

No. The AIs are all working on finding a cure, but...

No vaccine or cure has ever been found.

See for yourself.

Refugees?

Four years ago, the world's population was halved.

Maintaining rationing systems

and using technology became complicated.

Halved?

That's impossible...

You're joking, right?

Master Mizuhara!

What does that mean?

The city has completely changed!

Where is my house?

Where are Ryu and Mahiru?

And Elisa?

Umm, excuse me!

Did I do something that I wasn't supposed to?

No, I'm not the one who's strange!

Come to think of it, since I woke up, I haven't seen a single one!

It's this world that's strange!

It appears that you have finally understood...

Men... Men...

What happened to them?

"Male Killer Virus", also called the killer of men.

As its name indicates, only men are affected.

In this world, only women are left.

A small number of men were able to survive thanks to cryonics.

Otherwise, 99% of men on earth,

have passed away!

So if I understand correctly...

Why am I still alive?

Either because of your multiple sclerosis or the treatment that you received.

We have not found out why yet,

but you are the proof that it is connected with one of those two factors.

There were only five men who were not affected, including you...

and they received the same treatment or have multiple sclerosis.

Only five?

Yes. You and the four others who were able to survive...

Are considered the most precious "resource" in this world.

A resource?

What is that?

I'm dreaming... This can't be real?

A man! It's really a man!

A man is here!

What's going on?

What is this?

Master Mizuhara.

There must be around 100 or 200 women here.

The more, the better.

Plus you are a rather handsome man...

Many of them will accept you.

What the hell have you been talking about this whole time?

To save humankind...

We need you to have children with a lot

of women. The World of Women Episode 1

In 2040,

The ultra contagious MK Virus spread throughout the Earth.

It caused a terrible pandemic in just under three months.

The world faced an enormous crisis that caused numerous problems.

Now the world is governed by a group of women

called "United Women", abbreviated to UW.

The rare surviving men were cryogenized in the hopes that a vaccine saw the light of day.

Finally, UW set up a unit to end violence and restore order.

UW mobilized all AIs to research a potential vaccine...

but none has been found to this day.

But it was at this moment, when all women were plunged into despair,

that a ray of hope appeared in the Far East.

A man who was cryogenized for multiple sclerosis before the appearance of the virus

potentially possessed antibodies that could destroy the virus.

UW secretly woke up a man named "#1" from his cryogenic sleep.

It was determined that he did not contract the effects of the virus.

The people who underwent this treatment for multiple sclerosis became humanity's hope.

UW demanded their awakening at the end of the treatment.

Now you know what happened during your cryogenic sleep.

This sounds like something straight out of science fiction.

Unfortunately, it is reality.

Only the hospital and high-ranking UW members are aware of your existence.

Therefore, please do not misbehave again in order to prevent riots.

Science is in danger.

Lots of technologies were lost, and numerous scientists and surgeons disappeared.

Only technologies that are considered important are used.

But now that you are awake and resistant to the virus,

it is your duty to have children.

Otherwise, humanity will go extinct.

You're not bullshitting me, are you?

Why would I want to do that?

And artificial insemnation doesn't work?

We obviously tried that.

However, like the others, the women survived,

but the men died a couple of days after being born.

But artificial insemnation should work

with the sperm from people who were spared from the virus!

Prior to your awakening,

we already tried with #1's sperm,

but embryogenesis never occurred.

How is that possible?

We did not ignore the reasons.

However, he did successfully get a woman pregnant

by having "normal" sexual relations.

This child is currently humanity's hope.

After years of cryogenic sleep, I find it difficult to believe all of that.

Anyway, let me go home!

That is impossible.

The priority is to preserve your genes.

Here.

What's this?

Choose a woman on this tablet that you want to impregnate.

Asking me to choose...

I can't! That's in poor taste!

It seems that we have no other choice.

We will have to call someone that you trust.

Rei!

- Mahiru! - I missed you so much!

I'm glad to see that you're doing well.

I'm so happy

that you're feeling better.

Ryu sleeps here.

Ryu.

It's a shame that our reunion had to be like this now that you're awake.

So this virus is real after all.

I still can't believe it.

There's still hope as long as you're alive.

This time, it's my turn to help you!

Hey Mahiru, what happened to Elisa?

- Umm, well... - What's wrong?

Elisa disappeared three years ago.

Why?

The virus only affects men, right?

Women aren't affected, right?

Right, there's no connection.

But one time when I saw her mom, I asked her...

She stopped hearing from her.

Elisa!

Japan's security has been precarious over the past couple of years.

It is possible that she had a serious accident,

- or worse... - That's impossible!

Shut up!

Elisa!

Why aren't you answering?

I beg of you.

Answer!

Why?

Do you have more information about #2?

Yes.

He is intelligent and should not misbehave again.

Geez, we're lucky that it was a pretty docile neighborhood.

What about "mating"?

Apparently he is not "in heat" and has not done anything yet.

Don't take those words seriously!

He has no sexual dysfunction and he isn't gay, you understand?

Remember what your task is

and the reason for your presence around him.

Understood.

I get the impression that the world changed overnight.

Ryu, Dr. Takagi...

Mahiru, all of the others are no longer here.

Elisa.

I don't believe that she disappeared.

Excuse me, Master Mizuhara.

Suou, what do you want at this hour?

Wait a second, what's with that getup?

Wait...

Wait!

Master Mizuhara.

No...

Master Reito, I have come to comfort you.

Suou?

What's with you all of a sudden?

Give me your sperm.

Master Reito.

Reito.

S-stop!

Master Mizuhara?

Do you dislike me?

Not at all.

But so many people are dead...

And cryogenized.

I can't allow myself to take advantage of it.

Excuse me.

It looks like you failed.

Do you have a problem?

It's just that being assigned to such a timid kid when you're so cute...

What do you mean by that?

All you have to do is procreate with Master Hino.

I can ask him to put you on the top of his list.

I am only responsible for Master Mizuhara.

In that case, good luck.

Why do I have to do this?

Elisa, what would you do?

I need to find out how to contact her.

Come to think of it...!

I knew it!

I need to take you to a special location.

- Huh? - This way.

Umm, I keep trying to tell you, I don't...

I can escort any of these women into your room.

They are all vying for the privilege of sleeping with you.

They are ready to have your child

because in this world, there are five billion contenders

for only five men.

And if they are not to your liking,

we will look for others that suit your preferences.

100, 200, or even 10,000.

I- I can't! We can't do that!

You are against "mating"?

Mating?

Having sexual intercourse.

I'm not just some stud for you to breed! Stop treating everyone like livestock!

Pardon me.

I can understand how this might upset you.

But with your sperm, these women will be saved.

The more time passes, the more difficult things become,

and the economic differences in this society are increasingly visible.

Food is becoming scarce.

And numerous women live in poverty.

But all of that will change if they have a child with you.

Since there are no more men, and because we cannot perform insemination,

their children will be a treasure.

Furthermore, they will be immunized against the MK Virus.

All of the women here have a particular interest in you

and have the opportunity for a safe and luxurious life.

You see, they are interested in you for reasons besides sexual attraction.

Furthermore...

Those who have been cryogenized will die in around a year.

A year? Why?

Cryogenic sleep only delays the inevitable.

I beg of you, Master Mizuhara.

If we do nothing, humanity is lost.

Two months... No, give me one month...

I need to find someone.

She disappeared...

But I have a lead.

It's her that I want to have children with!

And only with her!

I understand.

However, I have one condition.

One condition?

Each night, a woman of my choosing will sleep in the same bed as you.

Why?

Because time is of the essence. I intend to create opportunities for you to procreate.

If you are faithful towards the person that you are looking for,

You should be able to resist, right?

Of course, but...

And if by chance you give in, I obviously won't complain.
