OSHI NO KO

How dare you hurt my comrade!

I'll pay you back a million times over!

If you plan to continue your invasion,

we of the Shibuya Cluster won't take it lying down.

Ugh, the SFX overlapped part of my line.

Should I repeat myself?

Oh, quit your yapping!

Maybe you'll finally shut your mouth once you're a corpse.

Nobody cares about your Shibuya Cluster.

We'll cut you all down and seize this country!

An ad-lib?

She's so good at playing it off the cuff.

The audience couldn't hear the first mention of the term "Shibuya Cluster,"

so she reworked it into a line that sounded like Tsurugi.

She timed it perfectly naturally, too.

People who've spent their whole lives acting are built different.

I know I can trust her to react to anything I throw at her.

I've never shared the stage with an actor so easy to work with.

I don't like my chances two-on-one.

Let's continue this another time.

Huh?

Hey! Don't you run, you dunderhead!

You tartar-sauced chicken!

The Shinjuku Cluster...

Those guys smell like trouble.

They're a band of thoughtless morons, nothing more.

They think they can just take out everyone who's formed a pact with a League Blade.

What's the plan?

They're going to invade us.

I'm the princess's dagger—her right hand. I'll simply obey my master.

I was a fool for expecting a single thought out of you.

Why don't you try being a little human sometimes?

Princess Saya.

Your orders.

Revised Version

This is the part we changed the most during the script revisions.

Princess Saya's long speech was cut short.

We want her to show her dignity as leader

and her opposition to Shinjuku with body language alone.

If we draw our swords, there will be bloodshed.

However, there are things we cannot protect without fighting.

So go to war we shall.

We cut out Princess Saya's inner thoughts,

but her acting put them on display anyway.

All of the inconsistencies in the previous script are gone now!

That girl is incredible!

Shinjuku and Shibuya.

Two factions who could never coexist now go to battle.

Charge!

Yeah!

You can't go past here, Blade.

If you want to, you'll have to leave your head behind!

Ooh, how exciting.

Go on, Blade!

We'll handle this!

Kizami,

go settle things with Monme!

You got it.

Saya's all the way in the back!

We're charging right in!

This set of faces takes me back.

Monme!

I didn't expect you to get this far, Kizami-san.

Not when you're weaker than me.

Sure, I'm weak,

but my friends helped me get here.

Let's settle this, Monme!

We can fight all you want, but the result won't change.

Then why don't we find out?

I'll leave the small fry to you.

I'm taking out their leader.

I'll put an end to this war with one stroke.

You seem strong.

Let me see what you've got!

Huh?

I ran without thinking and got here before anybody else.

This is my chance to defeat Princess Saya

and show those guys who's boss, isn't it?

Get out here, princess of the oni!

So you're Princess Saya.

You're of mixed blood?

Do you believe mixed blood is inferior to pure blood, too?

There she goes again,

with that "My acting is right" look on her face.

What is it about me that she dislikes so much?

Draw your sword!

For you,

this will do just fine.

Don't you look down on me.

I won't lose, Kana-chan.

I'm only here because of you.

I doubt you even remember what happened back then.

But I've been waiting forever— for years and years—

for this moment to come.

Rewind!

Rewind that bit, Mom!

You really love your Kana-chan, Akane.

I mean, she's amazing!

She's a genius child actor who can cry in ten seconds flat!

She's cute,

good at acting,

and she can talk freely with grown-ups, too!

She's cool... She's so cool!

Do you want to give acting a shot, too?

My, that sounds good.

We got a pamphlet for a children's theater group just the other day.

Look.

Theater Company Hydrangea

H-Huh?

I... I can't do it.

I-I'm shy,

and I'm a scaredy-cat.

I can't do anything.

This might help you overcome your shyness, too.

That's right.

You might even become friends with Kana-chan, you know?

Huh?

Theater Company Hydrangea

If I could be friends with Kana-chan,

I'd be so happy I could die!

I wanted to be like you,

so I worked really hard.

I wanted to get closer to you.

That was my goal.

Audition Venue

Oh, hello, Mrs. Kurokawa!

You're Emiri-chan's mom!

I saw the commercial Emiri-chan was in.

Oh, thank you.

She was only onscreen for a second.

I could tell it was her right away.

I really did love you.

Until the day...

I met you.

Kana Arima

I know that hat.

Th-Thank you.

Are you nervous, Kana-chan?
