Original subtitles

[Anno] The children who survived by hiding underground

talked about their dreams to each other in order

to slow the countdown and prevent themselves

from turning into zombies.

In the town,

Andy and the resident zombies

were working together to fight against Spoil.

Amid the fierce battle,

Andy notices that by touching Fuko,

the zombies could be given her unluck to damage Spoil.

The zombie who used to be the children's teacher takes

the initiative and touches Fuko first,

standing against Spoil and bursting

as a fiery bomb of unluck.

Though sad, Fuko wipes her tears

and accepts her determination.

Spoil transforms into its second form, phase two,

and unleashes an even more evil power

of spoilage.

Fuko doesn't flinch even face-to-face against Spoil,

speaking of her dreams to overcome the countdown.

Shen's attack is unleashed in that very moment.

Will it become the beacon for counterattack?

Andy!

Wicked, to quote a phrase, Fuko!

And as for my dream, quite simple!

To be the greatest ever!

[buzzing]

[buzzing]

[snarls]

[groans]

[snickers]

[Spoil snarling]

- Mr. Shen! - Shen!

Don't get too close or you'll spoil!

I'll be fine, Mr. Andy!

I think I figured it out!

Spoil brought its face up close

to Fuko just a second ago, you see?

Yet she didn't start to spoil.

My guess is that its force field

is generated around its body.

Since its head left the field, Fuko was safe.

Oh!

[Shen] But the moment it draws its head back in,

its weak point is no longer exposed.

[buzzing]

That's where this artifact comes in...

The Nyoi-Kinko Staff!

- Huh? - [Shen speaking Chinese]

EXTEND!!

[groaning]

The Nyoi-bo Staff from "Journey to the West!"

You had that the whole time and didn't use it?

[Shen] It's thanks to you that I figured out I could, Mr. Andy!

[speaking Chinese]

SHRINK

THANK YOU

[Anno] Artifact: Nyoi-Kinko Staff.

Excavated from China,

this bo staff can expand and contract at will.

[Spoil] Why, you...

You expect me to stand here and take this?

[groaning]

What's going on?

Why is my body approaching you on its own?

What's happening to me?

Oh, you poor thing.

You wanted to avoid that. Am I right?

Huh?

[groaning]

[Anno] Shen's ability acts on a target

in his field of vision.

It forces the target to perform the opposite action

it was trying to make.

I can't figure out his ability!

I need to retreat for now!

[groans]

[Anno] Any conscious thought that enters the target's mind...

Is negated by Shen.

However, to activate this ability,

a certain condition must be subconsciously fulfilled

by the user.

The user must become fond of his target.

Shen!

How are we supposed to catch

the likes of these things, huh?

Thank goodness! You're starting to heal!

What do you do after you weaken it?

[Shen] There should be a core somewhere within its body!

- [blow lands] - [grunts]

See, while I'd love to pluck it out myself,

I'd spoil if I got too close.

If only there was some way to block his spoil ability!

Keep pushing your luck and see what happens!

I can't fire?

[Shen] A long-range disintegration laser.

And for close range, your spoil ability,

which is stronger than Mr. Andy's regeneration!

- [gasps] - [Shen speaking Chinese]

EXCELLENT

Enough of your games!

I refuse to believe this ability...

This glitch in the system... Exists!

A mere vessel could never pull off

a feat of this magnitude with a simple glance!

[Shen speaking Chinese]

THANK YOU

Thanks to your overwhelming power...

I just might be able to see him at last.

[snarls]

[Fuko Izumo] We need to stop its spoiling ability?

How are we supposed to do that?

Things start to spoil because

of the bacteria hangin' in the air.

But those bacteria need some moisture.

So what if we try to reduce

the amount of moisture in the air?

All righty.

Guess I'll try settin' off some more explosions!

Ah, what? 'Scuse you!

Why are you pinching my belly?

Huh? Why not?

It was spillin' right out.

It's not spilling out!

I mean, it is. A lot.

[whimpering]

- [smacks] - [gasps]

[groans]

I can't help it!

Food has been tasting good recently!

Shen, you fall back!

I'm gonna nail him with the gunpowder storehouse!

Oh? So you figured something out?

[rumbling]

- He... - Fell...

Down?

No way.

I wasn't expecting this.

- [crashes] - [groans]

[laughing] Fool!

Uh-oh!

[roars]

[shouts]

[Shen] It destroyed the buildings,

and it's using the dust clouds to obstruct my vision.

A counter to my ability! [speaking Chinese]

EXCELLENT

[groans]

Huh?

[Shen] Hey, Fuko, get farther back!

Spoil is up to something!

- Move it! - [gasps]

I know! How's space?

Space is a total vacuum devoid of moisture

so nothing would spoil there!

With the organization's UFO or something,

we could send it up!

But I guess we wouldn't be able

to survive out there, huh?

Space, you say?

Fantastic, yes!

Well, what do you say?

I could lift you and Spoil up into space

if you'd like, Mr. Andy.

How about it?

But since you'll be traveling together,

you'll also need to endure his spoil ability

until you reach your destination.

Why don't you take that card out of your forehead?

The old you would be able to endure it, right?

- [rumbling] - [Andy snarls]

[Andy] Usually I don't have enough space for it all,

so I put a cork in my brain to keep 100 years' worth

of memories bottled up!

Fine, deal.

[snickers]

But first, I've got some conditions.

[speaking Chinese]

UNDERSTOOD

SHRINK

Mui, dear.

Can you pinpoint Spoil's location from above?

[Mui] Yes, sir.

It's currently compressing a mass of energy

behind a smokescreen!

I advise fleeing the are...

Just give me its current exact coordinates.

[groans]

[clicking]

[beeping]

North 3611, 41.

West 115, 1313.

Well, you heard her, didn't you?

Yeah. I see 'im.

I leave the rest in your capable hands.

Huh?

[Andy speaking Chinese]

EXTEND

[groaning]

[grunts]

You better win!

[speaking Chinese]

ROGER

[shouting]

[both shouting]

[gasps] Isn't that the card Andy keeps in his forehead?

You mean he pulled it out?

But Andy said if he removed it he'd go off the rails!

[Shen] Yes, I'm aware.

But aren't you also curious to see it?

[gasps]

[Shen] The man who once traversed countless battlefields,

bringing victory wherever he went.

I see your plan now.

You think the vacuum of space will disable my ability.

Right, Undead?

Unfortunately for you,

in this form I have not only spoil

at my disposal but a beam

that disintegrates anything it touches.

[Andy] Spoil.

You're strong and righteous.

But even so...

No rule, including you, can tie me down.

[Spoil] Huh?

What is with that regeneration speed?

[Andy] Right, I'm supposed to take your core.

DIVISION BULLET

Division Bullet.

[Spoil] Each finger regenerated on its own?

[grunts]

[shouting]

[Andy] Now, then, let's have ourselves...

[Spoil grunting]

[Andy] A little fun.

[gasping]

[children laughing]

- Master Shen, preparations are complete. - [Shen speaking Chinese]

ROGER

- [Shen] Ken. - [grunts]

If you walk straight from here,

you'll find people from our organization

who'll be waiting to rescue you.

But Fuko and I can't come with you.

We still have things left to do here.

You understand, right?

[grunts]

So, Ken, please protect them.

For just a little while longer, yeah?

Do you think you can do that?

[wind blowing]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

- Right. - All: Hmm?

Let's get you away from here.

[all whimpering]

Guys, follow me!

'Kay?

[grunts]

Mm-hmm.

[speaking Chinese]

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT

The Union will have a watchful eye on them,

and Mui's preparations are always impeccable.

[grunts] Right.

[gasps] He's here!

[gasps] Andy?

[booming]

Huh?

[grunting]

[rumbling]

- Fuko, stand back. - [gasps]

Mui, dear, we've now secured Spoil's core.

Please beam it up.

[Mui speaking Chinese] ROGER

[rumbling]

[man] Hey, what day is it?

Today? It's August 24th, 2020.

Why?

[man] Day of the week?

Day of the week?

What are you talking about?

I see.

Looks like they've got a half decent lineup here.

[Shen] What is this?

It feels less like his memories are back

and more like he's a different person all together.

- [electric buzzing] - [groans]

You idiot!

You won't get another turn ever!

You've been wasting your life away.

Just give it up!

No matter what you do, I cannot die!

[grunts]

Ah, I see.

Uh, huh?

[man] So it's your fault.

External targeter Unluck.

Move it.

Pleased to meet you, Victhor, the god of Victory.

I don't know who told you about me,

but my name's Victor.

I'm human.

VIC-TOR: ONE THAT DEFEATS AN ENEMY

Not Thor. Not a god.

[grunts]

[Shen] But I activated my ability!

I even predicted the strike!

I should have parried that attack!

His strength is unreal!

He's so strong that each time he strikes,

he breaks his own limbs!

No human is capable of this kind of attack!

People unconsciously exercise control

for the sake of self-preservation.

But not him. He's broken free of that!

You can react well.

Impressive for someone with just one life.

[groaning]

[gasps]

Mr. Shen!

[grunting]

[footsteps approaching]

Take that!

[gasps]

[gasps]

What's wrong?

Where's my unluck?

[electric sparking]

[grunts]

So I see.

[groans]

[Shen] Mui, relay this message.

[Victor] Using bodily contact to induce strokes of unluck,

the force fluctuating based on how much you like the target.

Volcanoes, meteors... How pathetic.

[grunts]

Did you really think that I would succumb to such

a paltry Rule as this unluck?

Now I see what you were getting up to while I was locked away.

Give up.

You can't kill me.

"Or what?" That's easy.

If she were to die right now, would you fall into despair?

[gasping]

[gasps]

Do you hear that, Andy?

At this rate, this guy's gonna kill me!

There's more!

There's so much more...

That we were gonna do...

And travel to, and even fall in love.

There are even greater strokes of unluck to uncover!

Are you... are you gonna let it all end here?

You have to come back! Andy!

Listen, idiot.

Rules are absolute.

- No matter what happens I won't... - Ah!

Maybe not. You see,

back there in that fight against Spoil,

I saw what human potential could do.

Well, I lost!

Today was a fantastic day! [speaking Chinese]

THANKS

This'll help me get stronger for sure!

I'd love to duke it out some more,

but I'm too weak.

So, I'd better hurry and honor the two promises that I made

to Mr. Andy.

One, protect the brat.

EIGHT CYCLE MOUNTAIN STRIKE

Eight Cycle Mountain Strike!

This is the most stalling

for time that I'm capable of right now.

And two, I promised to beat you.

- [groans] - [thuds]

- [glass cracking] - Huh?

Can't keep that one.

Guess I'll have to count on you guys.

Huh?

I must say, you're one troublesome rookie.

Everyone! It's Andy!

Andy needs help!

Don't worry. Leave it to them.

We're pretty darn strong.

[gasps]

So ten in total, huh?

Then lets see what you can do.

PARTS BULLET FINGERS

Parts Bullet Fingers!

Each member has their own shield?

Hey, morons!

Don't defend! Attack!

We're all ability users here,

so what's the point in falling back?

[gunfire]

Ricochets?

These shields aren't just a defensive tactic.

They're preparing an offense, too.

Heh, nice.

[electric buzzing]

Not half bad!

Trying to bisect me, huh?

It's no use. I'll just... huh?

What's the matter? Regeneration woes?

Your regeneration rate slows down considerably when

the cut sections of you are burned.

I didn't fiddle with your body experimenting

for ten years for nothing, you know.

Right, Undead?

Nice weapon you've got.

No doubt it would have been very effective on your Andy.

But unlike him, I choose where I regenerate.

So if my body's no good...

[bone snaps]

I'll use my finger.

[gasping]

Huh?

That swing was nothing but brute force.

You, there.

You're an amateur at combat.

If you value your ability, keep your distance.

Stay out of this and I'll spare you from death.

[Fuko gasps]

[Victor laughs]

Shame what happened to Unchange, but...

Now I see it.

You guys are good.
