Ousama Game The Animation (King's Game)

No good. It's not getting through.

Would it be back in that park?

Nobuaki, I'll look for the phone.

You go to the hospital.

No. There's somewhere I need to go first.

Where the heck are you gonna go in that condition?

The key to ending the King's Game might be there.

Thirty years ago,

a King's Game—likely the first—was held in that village.

It was a peaceful, completely ordinary village.

Until a single scrap of paper changed everything.

An order from the king.

Because of the King's Game,

the villagers disappeared,

and by the end, it became an abandoned village.

But there must be some records of the time left there.

I get it. So we might be able to find a way to end this game there?

Yeah.

All right. Then take me there, too.

I can't let you go alone and get hurt.

Better to have a guy with some brawn around, right?

Kenta...

I-If Kenta's going, then I am, too.

I'm too scared to be alone.

I can come, right?

O-Of course!

Right, Nobuaki?

Yeah. Then let's all head for the village on the first train of the day.

Okay.

Uh, Mizuki?

What?

I've been meaning to ask...

What are you wearing?

We're going to be hiking on a mountain path.

But I'm wearing sneakers.

I-I can see your—

B-By the way, Mizuki.

Did you bring your old cell phone?

Y-Yeah.

When we get to the station, switch over from the broken one.

But Natsuko said I'll die even if I switch to another phone.

Don't take her at her word.

You'll be fine.

R-Right.

Sorry. I'm not strong like you two.

But when I think that I could die today if I do nothing...

I just can't sit still.

Nobuaki, who is behind the King's Game? What do they want?

Sorry. I don't know who the king is, either.

During the last game, I thought that the king was a member of the class.

A member of the class?

Yeah. But my thinking was wrong.

Kanazawa

What?

Hello?

Is this Nami?

What's with that text?

Touch the king? What are you thinking?

Your order was to order yourself to do something.

You should have made it something simpler.

I had an idea.

You think the king is someone in class, right?

Right, but...

That's why I ordered myself to touch the king.

To find them.

To find the king?

All I need to do is touch everyone in class, one by one.

If the king's among us, when I touch them, we'll get the text about compliance.

Perfect, right?

W-We might be able to find the king with that plan.

But if the king isn't in our class? What then?

You believe that the king is in our class, right?

Then I do, too.

That's good enough for me!

It's not good.

Do you understand what you're doing?

You could die—

I know.

Thanks, Nobuaki.

You'd even worry about me, huh?

What are you saying? No duh I'm worried about you. I just...

I know.

You just want to end the King's Game somehow.

For all of us.

That's part of it.

I don't want to watch a friend die ever again.

I don't want that, either. That's why...

Nami...

But if we do find the king this way, I'll be a hero!

Oh, but I'm a girl, so make that a heroine.

Huh?

And we can even end the King's Game, too.

And then you'll...

Nami?

Sorry! It's nothing.

I mean, you have Chiemi.

Good luck to us tomorrow!

Huh? Hey. Nami!

God...

You all got yesterday's text.

Nami gave herself an order to touch the king.

Nami's going to touch all of us one by one now.

If the person she touches is the king,

we should get a text an instant later.

I get it. So we're going to expose the king.

Exactly.

Nami gave herself this order and put her life on the line to find the king.

To prevent any more victims.

To end the King's Game.

Amazing!

Nami, you're so smart!

I'm gonna beat you black and blue when we find you, King!

We'll start with the boys.

Seat number 1, Shingo.

I swear I'm not the king! Touch away!

I don't want to believe that one of us is the king,

somebody who takes lives without remorse. But...

H-Here goes nothing.

O-Okay.

But we have to discover the king's identity.

To end the game.

Shingo's in the clear. He's not the king.

That's great.

You okay, Nami?

Y-Yeah. I'm fine.

All right!

Only the girls are left?

The king's one of the girls?

A demon wearing human skin

is among them!

Next is...

Inoue Imoto Yuuko Iwamura Ria Iwamoto Maki

Next is Ria, right?

Get up front already.

Ria, it's your turn.

Come up here.

Sorry, but you're the most suspicious of the girls.

She barely talks, and she has nothing in common with the rest of us.

But is she really the king?

If Ria is the king, how could she stay so calm right now?

I-I'm going to touch you now.

I know who the king is.

Because

I'm the king.

King King's Game

Seat No. 22 Hirano Nami

Touch the king.

I know who the king is.

Because I'm the king.

Ria?! Are you serious?!

If I was the king, what would you do?

Would you all gang up on me?

Or would you try to persuade me to stop?

You know that won't end this game, don't you?

If it isn't 100% guaranteed to end the King's Game, there's no point.

If you use an uncertain method and fail,

someone in class will die.

You've all realized it, right?

The only guaranteed way to end the King's Game

is to kill the king.

Kill the king?!

That's right. It's the only way.

As if we could ever do that!

You started the hunt for the king.

Unless you take responsibility and kill the king,

another person here is going to die.

M-Me, kill the king?

So, who is the king?

Nobuaki?

You okay, Nobuaki?

Y-Yeah.

There was no text. Ria wasn't the king after all.

Only five girls left.

Is one of them really the king?

Kaori...

It's okay.

But I have to end this, to put a stop to the game.

I'm next, right?

Nami, are you okay?
