Phi Brain: Puzzle of God - Third Season

Puzzles are chains...

Puzzles are mirrors.

Isn’t that right, Jin?

Oh, sweet! Let’s go, Jin!

Yeah...

This is... a puzzle?

It’s a Philosopher’s Puzzle.

Back when I was a kid, you solved it by yourself.

Really? I did that...?

I guess ya don’t remember, huh?

There’s a puzzle...

That’s weird.

You already solved this back in the day...

And there are seven balls.

When you solved it, you said there were six balls,

making for a total of 720 total combinations...

Did someone remake it?

Whatever! I’ll solve any puzzle I come across!

Please watch, Jin!

See what I can do now!

Puzzle time... Let's begin!

Raetsel...

Sorry, my bad!

It’s not like I’m bored being with you, Rook.

This is only my second day in England, so I’m still jet-lagged!

Kaito and Jin... Think they’re almost done?

Wouldn’t it be nice if Jin regained his memories?

Yeah...

Jin fought with Count Pythagoras...

and lost his heart to the Puzzle of God.

Fortunately, he has regained consciousness.

All that remains are his memories.

Jin, Kaito and I...

We traveled across this land, so even if just a little,

hopefully this will help him remember the past...

and puzzles.

If he did, I’m sure Kaito would be happy.

There are seven slots with numbers inside...

The point of the puzzle is insert the colored balls into the correct slots.

There are a total of 5,040 combinations.

The keys leading to the correct answer...

are the balls’ colors and the seven numbers.

I’ve solved it!

The seven numbers represent the number of letters

for each color in the English alphabet!

In other words, “aka” is “red,” which has three letters.

“Ao” is “blue,” which has four letters!

They go...

here and here!

What’s a Philosopher’s Puzzle without a trap?

But that crap doesn’t scare me!

I’ve got two 5-slots and three 6-slots left remaining!

The structure of the puzzle tells me where they go.

It’s a diagram portraying the three primary colors.

This is yellow!

The slots where two circles intersect

indicate a color created by mixing those primary colors!

Blue and red make purple.

It goes in this 6-slot!

Red and yellow make orange.

It goes in this 6-slot!

Blue and yellow make green. It goes here!

And in the center, mixing all the colors together, you get...

black in the 5-slot!

There's no puzzle I can't solve!

Amazing...!

You solved it so quickly...

I can’t believe I was absorbed in puzzles.

It’s cool!

I’m sure you’ll remember eventually.

And then, the three of us can solve puzzles like in the old days...

Let’s take it slow and easy, Jin.

Kaito...

Oh, yeah! Since I solved it, I might as well...

The prize.

Looks like someone remade the Philosopher’s Puzzle

and sealed the prize.

It’s a brooch.

Kaito! Jin!

Welcome back, Kaito! Jin!

Welcome back, Kaito.

Nonoha and Rook, welcome back after a long day!

We’ll be staying here again tonight, Freecell.

Sorry, Freecell!

We’ve been using the school dorms like a hotel.

I don’t mind. I was able to get permission.

So, how’s Jin?

Tomorrow...

we’ll try taking him to the puzzle where we first met him.

Say, would you two care to join us?

Really? Sounds fun.

Let’s go, Freecell.

Uh, no...

I no longer play puzzles...

That right? Okay, then.

Man, I’m starving!

Dinner is ready.

Come right this way.

Jin, they said it’s chow time!

C’mon, Jin!

Meow.

Did you say something?

Meow, meow!

I see you aren’t eating your meal.

I don’t like the food here.

This goes against our contract.

Goodness me!

Even three-star restaurants mean nothing to you.

Although I must admit, the soup was mediocre.

The soup was good!

Keeping my contract with you is more difficult than ruling a country.

The time has finally come, Raetsel.

Let us pray that each of our missions ends in success.

I’m super pissed here!

Nonoha’s spending the night with Kaito?!

Suspicious character detected.

I was a fool to go along with it when Kaito

said he needed a girl to help out!

Not quite, Iwashimizu!

Gammon may be a weirdo, but he’s not a “suspicious character.”

A weirdo.

I, Ana, think you’re worrying too much!

Rook-Rook and Jin-Jin are both with her.

But--But, Mom!

Don’t, “But, Mom!” me.

Besides, I, Ana, am a boy.

Nonoha!

Crap!

Please come back in one piece! Nonoha!

Weirdo. Weirdo.

I see things haven’t changed.

Nonoha!

Souji!

Upperclassman Jikukawa!

Guys, long time no see!

College Souji, you look cool!

You’ll come back safe and sound, won’t you?

Thank you.

Eh?!

What the hell?

In other words, when Jin Makata was a member of POG,

he would do anything to win, even changing the rules.

He was a delinquent as a Giver.

Yesterday, I was searching the POG’s digital library for a college report...

and stumbled on that file.

I don’t believe that report!

It doesn’t match the image of the guy Kaito paints at all.

I, Ana, think... it’s phooey!

Right... You’re right!

I was getting worked up over nothing.

This is where we first met you, Jin.

Yeah! We were lost in this maze and you saved us, Jin.

This is my first time coming!

Is this another Philosopher’s Puzzle?

This is a Puzzle of Fools.

Those unable to solve it lose their lives.

Their lives...?!

The trap system has been dismantled.

It’s safe now.

Let’s go.

I betrayed Kaito in this Puzzle of Fools.

I hurt Kaito, toyed with our friendship,

and pushed myself down the path of destruction.

Even though I was consumed by the Armlet of Orpheus...

Don’t let that weigh down on you forever, Rook.

You’re different now!

Yes, you’re right.

Kaito, Rook...

Didn’t you say that I’m the one who taught you how to solve puzzles?

Puzzles... Are puzzles something that we need to have in this world?

What brought that on so suddenly, Jin?

Let’s head back...

Jin!

Jin!

Wait, Jin! What’s gotten into--

Stop! Jin!

Did you sense that, Rook?
