The Promised Neverland (約束のネバーランド)

What is this?

It's a gate. It connects the inside and outside.

Outside, huh?

We've never been outside.

That's because we've been here ever since we were born.

Mom always tells us, doesn't she?

"Don't go near the gate or fence in the back of the forest because it's dangerous."

That's obviously a lie.

Really?

Hey, Ray!

What do you want to do if you go outside?

I don't know. What about you?

I want to ride a giraffe!

Good luck.

I wonder...

I wonder what this gate is protecting us from.

Everyone, wake up!

Or you'll be late for breakfast!

- Hey, wait for me! - No way!

Hey! Stop messing around and get ready!

- Emma, I can't get my shoes on. - I can't tie my shoelaces!

Okay, hold on. Don't cry.

Good morning Don, Conny, and Little Bunny!

- Morning! - Morning, Emma.

Look, we made it!

Watch out...

I'm going to eat you!

They're at it again.

Morning, Norman! And Ray!

Good morning, Emma.

Morning, Emma.

You're so energetic. Even though you haven't eaten breakfast yet.

How old are you again? Five?

I'm 11, the same as you guys!

And one of the oldest here!

You're laughing, too, Mom?

Emma, can you give me a hand over here?

But Mom! I'm going to redo my entrance from the beginning.

Why? I love that part about you.

That I'm five years old on the inside?

The part where you care deeply about your family.

Thanks, Mom!

Good morning, my dear children.

Let's give thanks that all 38 of you siblings are able to live here happily, today, too...

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

Here. Open wide.

It's delicious!

You're acting like a little baby, Conny.

I can, right, especially today?

Yes.

Age 11, type 1.

Answer each question within nine seconds.

We will now begin.

Well, I think I got at least half!

That much? Wow!

I'm jealous. I didn't get most of it.

Are you all ready for the results?

Norman. Ray. Emma.

You three did an amazing job. You got all of them right! Perfect scores!

Those three are different, huh?

Norman is a genius who has the best brains.

And Ray, an intellect who can compete against Norman's genius.

Emma has amazing athletic skills, and her learning ability allows her to stay close to the other two.

They say the House has never had three kids at this level together before.

No wonder Mom is happy with them.

Norman!

I challenge you to a game of tag!

Run, run!

Come get me, Norman! We'll outrun you this time for sure!

Right, Conny?

Thank you for always helping me, Don.

You don't have to thank me!

I'll always help you! Anytime, anywhere you're in need!

Based on the size of these shoe's footsteps...

You let your guard down, Norman!

Don, you always let your guard down.

Don't I always tell you? Your weakness is that you make quick judgment and lose your cool.

Dang, I got caught.

What the heck? He practically got everyone.

Well, it's Norman after all.

The only survivor is...

...just Emma.

Norman!

I was pretending.

No fair! I was worried about you!

Emma, your weakness is that you're nice.

He caught me again! Why? So frustrating!

Question.

What does Norman have that you don't?

The ability to plan ahead? Calmness? Overwhelming intelligence?

Strategy.

If it's about simple physical ability, you have the upper hand.

But Norman is strong right here. Like no other.

You're playing tag. It's a game where you compete with strategy.

A simple game of tag?

It's like chess, but using your entire body.

Isn't that right, Norman?

Yeah. But you're a better tactician than me, Ray.

You overestimate me.

Reading the enemy's moves, huh?

But we're not even close when it comes to Mom.

That's true. We've never beaten her at chess.

Norman!

I want a rematch! Next game, everyone will be "It" except you!

- Whoa! - He's losing his cool again.

You caught me.

"You can't go near there, no matter what."

Yeah, Mom is always telling us that.

The gate and the fence deep in the forest are dangerous.

That's obviously a lie.

What do you mean?

Well, just look at it.

What part of this is dangerous?

The fence is low, and I don't see anything threatening.
