ACMA:GAME

I am Gado.

By collecting 99 keys,

Gungnir plans to take over the world.

The one fighting against Gungnir and all that they stand for,

is none other than The Guide's son, Teruasa Oda.

With all of his friends' lives depending on it,

the final battle continues.

The foolish humans

struggle and suffer,

shedding tears of blood.

Teruasa, accept your fate.

Teruasa Oda, Guide,

you both have one word left.

The blue word is something that fits into a cube with sides one meter long.

It's a person,

and Teruasa Oda has touched it.

The person is deceased.

The black word

is edible,

and is in this room.

It is not a living thing.

It did not exist before the birth of mankind.

It is not a tool.

It's possible to get it for less than 1,000 yen.

The Guide still has three chances to consult with a friend.

Teruasa Oda can only consult with a friend once more.

If The Guide guesses correctly this turn,

he will be the winner.

I'm out of time.

Forget a counterattack. If he guesses correctly now, I've lost.

If that happens...

All eight of us who participated in the tournament will be killed.

The only way to save everyone

is for Teruasa to win the game.

And as soon as the game ends,

they're going to attack the G20 summit venue.

If we let that happen, the world will fall into chaos.

And a huge number of people will lose their lives.

All of that pressure on Terurin's shoulders...

Don't give up!

You have fought very bravely.

I am proud of you.

Keep your opinions to yourself.

I had respect for you when I was a child.

But now...

I feel sorry for you, clinging pathetically to the keys.

I will use the keys to create a society free from conflict, and save thousands.

You're wrong!

The keys are just instruments from which desire is born.

Something like that can't be used to save anyone.

Wasn't it you who said we should save people from their desires?

Have you forgotten?

When you first showed me the key...

It's desire that can never be satisfied.

The flames of desire ignite conflict.

It's written in history.

That's why, no matter how much luck you have, you shouldn't be greedy.

You mustn't obsess over getting what you want.

Try to become someone who can save those

who become consumed by desire.

I wanted to become like you.

That's why after you were gone,

I always tried to follow in your footsteps.

Even when I got caught up in the civil war in Africa,

or when I escaped with captives in South America,

I thought desperately, "What would you do?"

Trying my best to save those around me.

That's why Teruasa

tried to save Maruko.

Will you quit?

It's foolish to risk your life dancing with the devil.

That's not the only time.

When he fought Hyodo...

What you really want

is to be in the spotlight again.

If that's so, then you don't need the key.

You can achieve it by effort alone.

Don't give in to desire!

I see.

Terurin got his excessive sense of justice

from his dad?

Whatever danger awaits,

I will crush Gungnir's ambitions.

That's what saved me too.

You're a tough player.

The power to win was already in you.

Don't you remember what you said to me

that night we went camping?

I remember very well, even now.

Then what is all this for?

You're going to kill a lot of people.

Then let me ask you.

Do you think you are innocent?

You also took a life when you first played ACMA:GAME.

I knew that man too.

That man

had his life taken by Gado.

Deceased.

I want to make a guess.

Then, Guide, go ahead.

The correct answer is

the head of the Maruko family,

Mitsuhide Maruko.

If I lose, you can kill me on the spot.

I accept your guess.

The answer is...

INCORRECT

...incorrect!

The Guide was wrong?

Maruko's name came to mind first.

But that's not what I wrote.

I knew that was a name you'd reach eventually.

He's not invincible after all.

One more chance.

Guide, why not use a doll?

I don't need to.

-But... -Don't overstep.

Forgive me.

Now's my chance to counterattack.

It won't open!

It must be an enclosed space.

Can Oda stop The Guide alone?

I'd rather he doesn't.

If The Guide wins, everyone's going to die!

But it will shake up the world.

It's going to be a historical moment.

Isn't it exciting?

Ouch.

Pain is proof you're alive.

You should be thankful.

Oda,

we're counting on you.

Then it's your turn,

Teruasa Oda.

Choose whether to ask a question or make a guess.

Okay.

The black word

is something that didn't exist before mankind,

so it must be a food created by humans.

And you can get it for less than 1,000 yen,

and it's in this room.

There's one thing in this room that fits those conditions.

But I can't be 100% sure.

Should I consult with Ui and the others?

Or save my last doll, and make my own guess?

What should I do?

By the way,

I came here to play the game, but also to separate you from your past.

First, you lost a memory of your mother.

Next, a memory of me.

If there is anything worthy of a final farewell,

what better than...

the lives of your friends.

All of them

risked their lives to be here.

I just need to win.

Gado, I want to make a guess.

Then, let's hear it.

The black stone slab is

herbal tea.

The answer is...

incorrect!

No.

I was wrong.

What a pity to fail at such a critical moment.

Then the turn goes to the other player.

Guide, choose whether to answer or guess.

Do you feel as though you've been pushed into an abyss?

How are you going to get out?

Or maybe better to give up.

Even in an abyss,

miracles can happen.

As long as you don't give up,

there is always a ray of light.

Miracles?

I too believed in such things long ago.

To restore this filthy world,

first, I hunted down the key owners.

Instead of fighting, I asked for cooperation.

I taught them how to use the keys,

and persuaded them to join me.

But...

once they realized the power of the keys,

they were consumed by desire, and began to fight.

Not only that, but I became the target of their desires.

They wanted my company's fortune and management rights,

and even my family's lives.

So your death...

Chairman Oda!

Dad! Dad!

That's why

I decided to end my life as Seiji Oda.

After that, I tried to find people to join me, by searching for key owners,

but there was not a single person

who agreed with my noble ideals.

My faith in humanity dimmed,

and all that was left was despair.

And so I decided

that I would take the lead

and guide people in the right direction.
