Kakegurui Twin (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - An Honest Girl - full transcript
Uh...
Does Mary seem all there to you?
I think she'll probably
be like this for a while.
Uh...
Come on, guys. It's two million!
Two million!
I can't believe it. It's all mine!
We won't have to worry about donations
for a while with this much.
And best of all, I was able
to reverse Tsuzura's pet status.
Yes. Thank you.
I owe you everything, truly.
I get to be human again because of you.
I don't know how to repay you.
I just want all of us to be winners.
This was just another step in the journey.
I had to keep us all from losing.
Anyway, worry about thanking me
after we're in the winner's circle.
- Yukimi.
- Huh?
When it comes to the usage fee of the den,
mind if we split it three ways?
And to make it easy,
we can do the same with whatever we win.
Sure. I don't have a problem with that.
But why are you asking me?
Did you forget what I wrote down?
I gave you the den in the Coupling Game.
TRANSFER TO YUKIMI TOGAKUSHI
The owner dictates
where the winnings go.
What? Hang on a second.
I thought that was some con
you were pulling to win.
Do you want me to take it back, then?
I didn't say any of that, but still, I...
Thank you, thank you!
I could kiss you!
I will kiss you!
What are you doing?
So sorry to interrupt.
If I could have your attention...
Why are you here?
I'm here to collect the usage fee
for the gambling den.
Sure. It's 50,000 yen, correct?
We have that amount ready right over here.
One more thing.
Mibuomi has been asking for you.
Uh...
TWIN
ACCOUNTING OFFICE
So, uh, maybe we should take
some time to think about this.
What's the likelihood
he'll make us play something weird again?
Couldn't tell you.
We should at least hear
what he has to say.
WELCOME MARY SAOTOME
Hello, Mary Saotome!
Welcome to Full-Bloom!
Uh...
I am so glad you're here, Mary!
Mibuomi?
Saotome!
I saw you win in the Coupling Game!
I loved it when you stuck it to
those rich cheaters by calling them out!
I can't believe she's here!
She's so smart, and gorgeous,
and good at gambling.
All right, everyone!
Let me introduce you to her, first.
Year one in Hana class,
this is Mary Saotome.
Please welcome Full-Bloom's newest member!
- Uh...
- That's right.
The star that will guide us to new hope.
Uh...
"Full-Bloom"? I'm confused.
A place that allows us to fully bloom.
That's where the name originated.
FULL-BLOOM
Everyone here has gathered
to fight against the tyranny
of the Student Council President.
I'm technically the leader
of this hopeful gathering of students,
but a council decides
the group's objectives and next steps.
One of our other council members
is there up against that wall.
That's Sakura Miharutaki.
Nice to finally meet you.
Huh?
Mary.
We'd like to offer you a position
on our council immediately.
You can help lead all of us to victory.
Wow.
Why?
Everyone in here is counting on you.
They're looking up to you because they
know you're clever enough to save them.
You are the only hope they have
for any change, Mary.
So what do you think
about working with us?
Uh...
I...
I need more time to decide.
What?
Sorry to turn you down.
This is a big decision.
And this was so sudden.
Please give me a little more time?
Can't say that isn't true.
Sorry about all this.
I guess it was pretty sudden.
We get it. You're just so irresistible.
She needs more time
to think about it, everybody.
And then she'll definitely come back
and be everything we hope.
So, let's be patient and believe in her.
Yeah!
All right.
Let's wrap things up as usual.
Ready?
For us to bloom to the fullest!
WELCOME MARY SAOTOME
I think it was a smart move.
I mean, who knows what kind of mess
we would've gotten pulled into
if I'd gone along with it.
But, you know,
on the surface it seems like what
Full-Bloom is trying to do is pretty good.
Yeah. I guess you're right.
You mean trying to take down the system
the Student Council built?
I don't know.
I think it was the better choice
to turn down their invitation.
I didn't turn them down.
I said that I needed more time
to think about it.
What?
Don't tell me you're actually thinking
of joining these guys.
I never said that, either.
Who would take control of the school
when Full-Bloom forces the downfall
of the Student Council?
It would naturally transfer
to the members of Full-Bloom.
Does that mean we join Full-Bloom?
Not necessarily, because the consequences
there are dire if we fail.
On the other hand, if we decide we'd
rather hurry along Full-Bloom's demise
by informing the Student Council,
then there's the possibility we may
be able to join the Student Council.
We're straddling the line
to ride a winning horse.
That's the safest and most-guaranteed path
for us to stay ahead of their game!
Mary, you are so smart.
I didn't even think of that.
You think
things will go as planned?
Are you worried about something?
I mean, we still have no idea
if we can even trust Mibuomi.
And even if we could, there's Miharutaki
who's on the Full-Bloom Council
and the Beautification Council.
She has the authority to arrest students.
That's something
even the Student Council can't do.
Can you imagine someone
with her level of power
going head-to-head against those guys?
I don't want to think about
how many people would get hurt
if that happened.
Why is someone like her
a member of Full-Bloom?
I guess it's because Mibuomi is there.
Why would he matter?
You don't know? Their parents
have them setup in an arranged marriage.
Arranged marriage?
Aoi.
Saotome turned you down.
Why are you still obsessed
with her joining us?
Am I not enough for you?
Huh?
I've been working for this
since we were in middle school,
and gained enough experience
to get elected with you
to the Student Council.
I'm not losing to an ill-bred hick!
No. Don't tell me
you're jealous of Mary Saotome now?
What? Don't be stupid!
You are a fantastic gambler.
You're good at working out probability,
and capable when it comes
to reading a person's strategy.
Then why her?
Simple.
Saotome has a unique set of strengths
and weaknesses too.
In a word, I like her perseverance.
It doesn't matter what the costs are,
she's determined to be a winner
come hell or high water.
Of course,
the person I rely on
more than anyone else is you, Sakura!
Miharutaki.
Sado?
Apologies for stopping you,
but it sounds like Mibuomi
has taken a liking to Saotome.
What I think
is that you and I should work together.
MARY SAOTOME
Hmm?
TO: MARY SAOTOME
- There's an entrance exam?
- Yeah.
Apparently,
Full-Bloom won't let me join now
until I pass an entrance exam.
He didn't say anything
about that yesterday, did he?
What do you think
you're gonna do next, Mary?
Oh, I'll definitely do it.
If I wanna pick the right horse,
I have to prove myself to them,
so they recognize
just how good my gambling really is.
There you are.
This is where you hid the Club Building.
As I'm sure you read
in my letter,
this encounter will serve
as your entrance exam for Full-Bloom.
I will play as your opponent. This way.
This woman will be our dealer today.
Sachiko Juraku? Why are you here?
I was the one who orchestrated everything
about today's game.
Huh?
Wait a minute! You're telling us you're on
the Student Council
and working with Full-Bloom too?
What the hell?
I can't blame you
for thinking that, but no.
It doesn't really matter
what side I end up being on, does it?
Aoi and the Student Council President
are both talented and charismatic.
They have lots of followers and,
above all else, are incredible gamblers.
I would be surprised to hear
of a single instance from their lives
that either of them
would consider a failure.
I want to see what it looks like
when they do end up losing.
Then I'll get to see
how pathetic they are.
That's why I've become close to both
and declared
no official allegiance to either.
Consider me a neutral party.
Designing this game
is just an extension of that.
It's time for us
to get started, don't you agree?
The game board
will be this entire building.
You will be participating in
a Treasure Hunt.
- Treasure hunt?
- What is that?
I'm happy to explain the rules
of the game I've arranged today.
As I certainly hope the name implies,
the goal is to find the treasure
we've hidden inside this building.
What's this?
It's a map.
It has various clues
as to where the treasure is hidden.
Whoever among you can decipher this map
and find the prize first,
will be determined the winner.
How will we know the treasure?
If you're not specific with us
there's no way to be sure.
How do you know
we won't somehow mistake it?
I'm not saying any more,
but you'll know when you find it.
Mary's buy-in for this game
will be her ability to gain access
to the Full-Bloom Club.
Should Mary find the treasure,
she can join.
But if Sakura finds it,
you rescind the right to join forever.
As for Sakura,
she'll be betting her reputation
as a principal of Full-Bloom.
I think that should be enough.
If she loses to some unknown hick,
it'll make everyone lose faith
in her abilities.
Fine by me.
I'm okay with it.
Such resolve.
Mistress Juraku
is locked on to a new toy,
and is having fun playing
with it in public.
I can never forgive Saotome.
I want her to look at me like that.
It should only be me.
If Miharutaki can win this game,
that should be the end of her.
Then Mistress Juraku will finally see
how pathetic she really is when she loses.
She'll never be able to recover from it.
You'll be tossed in the trash
where you belong, Mary Saotome.
There is one final rule to share.
Mary, I'll be permitting the three of you
to search for the treasure together.
But Mistress Juraku,
isn't that a huge advantage?
Yes. In their favor.
Even is Sakura doesn't win the bet,
there's nothing tangible
she would forfeit.
Mary is shouldering more risk
in the scenario.
So, giving her opponent
a handicap is fair play.
I don't have a problem with that.
I already know the layout of this building
because of my Council duties.
There's no way she'd stand a chance
without another person to help her.
Besides, I don't plan on losing,
no matter how much help she has.
Good. We are agreed.
Ladies, the Treasure Hunt begins now.
Wow. We're really doing this.
I know now isn't the best time
for me to be excited,
but I'm really looking forward
to this Treasure Hunt!
I'm not excited,
but my heart's still pounding.
Is everything all right, Mikura?
The game has started, you know.
Huh?
I believe I'm asking
if Sakura needs your help.
I bet she does.
Don't tell me you thought your mistress
hadn't noticed what you were up to?
The only reason you spoke to Sakura
was because you want to destroy Mary.
You were going to use
your dealer privileges
to help Sakura, am I right?
I purely wanted to test Mary,
but you tried to destroy them altogether.
If not for your jealousy,
I wouldn't have cared enough
to go through the effort
of preparing this game.
Did I give you consent?
What have I done?
Of course, Mistress Juraku knew
about everything already.
I should've known I had no room to dream.
I'm just a house pet.
And I'm not even good at that.
I've failed my mistress.
I'm not worthy of her grace.
I... I know this now...
I'm so sorry, Mistress!
Please forgive me
for what I've done, my Goddess.
I'll do anything you want.
Just forgive me!
You want my forgiveness?
That's going to take
a lot more time, my pet.
You have been
a very disobedient kitten, Mikura.
I need to discover
a new way to punish you.
Yes!
Punish me
for as long as it takes, Mistress Juraku.
Yes.
Because an obedient house pet is one
that I'd lose interest in right away.
I look forward to collaring her.
After I finish breaking her spirit,
Mary will make a divine pet.
This is supposed to be a treasure map?
Hmm. It doesn't really look
like a map though.
We're not interpreting it the right way.
Juraku told us this was a map
when she gave it to us,
so we have to assume
that she was telling us the truth.
What we should be thinking about is
how to make this look like a map, right?
Follow me.
Mm. I think I got it!
I'm starting to see
how this can be a treasure map.
Huh?
This building has four floors.
Each floor has a grid
of eight rooms by four rooms.
The layout is exactly the same
as the one on this map.
In other words,
this map shows each
of the club building rooms
labeled with different,
distinctive numbers.
You figured it out!
Now we need to understand
what these numbers mean.
We won't know that
until we go check out each of the rooms.
MANGA CLUB
Yes?
Anybody home?
Oh. You guys must be
with the Treasure Hunt.
They told us you might be stopping by.
Please feel free to look around
as much as you want.
Thanks. Sorry if we're barging in.
We are never going to find this thing!
Juraku said
that we'd know it when we see it.
I really don't think it's in here.
We have
a lot more rooms we need to get through.
Maybe we should start moving on?
Yeah. Huh?
- Is this it?
- Huh?
Wow. You found it, Mary!
I'd be really surprised
if she made it this blatantly obvious.
USHIWAKAMARU
Of course,
she'd put in things to amuse herself.
FURUSATO / KIYOMASA KATO /
YAMATA NO OROCHI
So there were three chests
in three rooms,
and there was a piece of paper
in each of them.
"Kiyomasa Kato,"
"Yamata no Orochi,"
and "Furusato."
What do you think
all of this is supposed to mean?
Hold up a second.
Aren't these the titles
of primary school songs?
Huh?
During the Meiji era,
the Ministry of Education,
Science, and Culture
created songbooks for grade schools.
Like, "Furusato" is a real famous one.
And, now that I think about it,
I'm pretty sure that "Kiyomasa Kato"
and "Yamata no Orochi"
were in that book too.
Is that right? That's incredible, Yukimi!
You really are president
of the Literary Club, you big nerd!
Oh, well, unfortunately I don't know
much more about it than that.
And I don't know if that helps at all
when it comes
to finding the location of the treasure.
Hmm.
A song.
Huh?
Tsuzura?
I think I... I think I figured it out.
Mistress, if you were to guess,
which of them
do you think is going to win?
Logically, I would say Sakura.
Although, there is a possibility
for Mary to win the game.
But any hope she has
will rely entirely upon her perseverance.
and her relationship with her friends.
It's sheet music?
Yeah. The map is sheet music.
Try reading it like that.
It's a numbered musical notation
where the notes
are represented by numbers.
One through seven equal the chromatic
do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti pitches.
With this kind of notation, if you don't
see symbols written with a number,
it represents a quarter note.
So, if we were to take a song
that was a 4/4 time signature,
four rooms
would be equivalent one measure.
If there are two numbers in one room,
then it means that they're eighth notes.
Zero means it's a quarter rest.
When the numbers are consecutive,
it's treated as a dotted half note.
Numbers that are between rooms
would come out to 1.5 rooms long,
and that's a dotted quarter note.
The numbers next to those
will be counted as an eighth note.
Wow. So you can read sheet music
with numbers.
I had no idea you knew any of that.
Yeah. I've played piano all my life.
Oh, that's right.
You would always play accompanying piano
for the choir performances
back in grade school.
You really remembered that?
That makes me so happy!
So, then this would read as...
♪ So-mi-fa-so-la ♪
♪ So-mi-fa-la-do ♪
♪ La-so-mi-do-re... ♪
This one.
It's "Spring Has Come"!
Oh, that's right!
Hmm. If that's correct,
then I'm seeing
that there's one part off here.
The second measure is "so-mi-fa-so-do,"
but in this sheet music, the fourth "5"
that pops up here is changed to "6."
Off by one space.
Something there that shouldn't be?
That's it, then.
The treasure should be hidden here!
We did it! I can't believe
how quick we won the game.
Sakura, how did you find it?
It wasn't a difficult code
for me to decipher.
Only a matter of time.
This is the map I was given by our dealer.
Huh?
The clues I found
were in rooms one, five, and two.
Those were "Ushiwakamaru,"
"Umi,"
and "Nasu no Yoichi."
They're the first, fifth,
and second grade songs
curated from the primary school songbooks.
To put it simply, the number written
on the room and the grade level coincided.
So then what exactly is seven?
That's when I began searching areas
that didn't fit the logic.
Really?
I guess we shouldn't be proud
that it took three of us
to figure that out.
But this game hasn't reached
it's conclusion yet!
I don't understand what you mean.
I arranged for a treasure hunt,
and you have the chest
right there in your hand.
You have no right
to treat me like an idiot, Juraku.
It's locked!
And the attached key can't reach
to open the lock.
You gave both of our groups
different maps,
and you had us searching for different
treasure boxes from the beginning.
The hunt you created
was just a childish warm-up.
The real game begins right now.
We'll be fighting for these boxes!
Prepare, Saotome!
We end this!
Does Mary seem all there to you?
I think she'll probably
be like this for a while.
Uh...
Come on, guys. It's two million!
Two million!
I can't believe it. It's all mine!
We won't have to worry about donations
for a while with this much.
And best of all, I was able
to reverse Tsuzura's pet status.
Yes. Thank you.

and find the prize first,
will be determined the winner.
How will we know the treasure?
If you're not specific with us
there's no way to be sure.
How do you know
we won't somehow mistake it?
I'm not saying any more,
but you'll know when you find it.
Mary's buy-in for this game
will be her ability to gain access
to the Full-Bloom Club.
Should Mary find the treasure,
she can join.
But if Sakura finds it,
you rescind the right to join forever.
As for Sakura,
she'll be betting her reputation
as a principal of Full-Bloom.
I think that should be enough.
If she loses to some unknown hick,
it'll make everyone lose faith
in her abilities.
Fine by me.
I'm okay with it.
Such resolve.
Mistress Juraku
is locked on to a new toy,
and is having fun playing
with it in public.
I can never forgive Saotome.
I want her to look at me like that.
It should only be me.
If Miharutaki can win this game,
that should be the end of her.
Then Mistress Juraku will finally see
how pathetic she really is when she loses.
She'll never be able to recover from it.
You'll be tossed in the trash
where you belong, Mary Saotome.
There is one final rule to share.
Mary, I'll be permitting the three of you
to search for the treasure together.
But Mistress Juraku,
isn't that a huge advantage?
Yes. In their favor.
Even is Sakura doesn't win the bet,
there's nothing tangible
she would forfeit.
Mary is shouldering more risk
in the scenario.
So, giving her opponent
a handicap is fair play.
I don't have a problem with that.
I already know the layout of this building
because of my Council duties.
There's no way she'd stand a chance
without another person to help her.
Besides, I don't plan on losing,
no matter how much help she has.
Good. We are agreed.
Ladies, the Treasure Hunt begins now.
Wow. We're really doing this.
I know now isn't the best time
for me to be excited,
but I'm really looking forward
to this Treasure Hunt!
I'm not excited,
but my heart's still pounding.
Is everything all right, Mikura?
The game has started, you know.
Huh?
I believe I'm asking
if Sakura needs your help.
I bet she does.
Don't tell me you thought your mistress
hadn't noticed what you were up to?
The only reason you spoke to Sakura
was because you want to destroy Mary.
You were going to use
your dealer privileges
to help Sakura, am I right?
I purely wanted to test Mary,
but you tried to destroy them altogether.
If not for your jealousy,
I wouldn't have cared enough
to go through the effort
of preparing this game.
Did I give you consent?
What have I done?
Of course, Mistress Juraku knew
about everything already.
I should've known I had no room to dream.
I'm just a house pet.
And I'm not even good at that.
I've failed my mistress.
I'm not worthy of her grace.
I... I know this now...
I'm so sorry, Mistress!
Please forgive me
for what I've done, my Goddess.
I'll do anything you want.
Just forgive me!
You want my forgiveness?
That's going to take
a lot more time, my pet.
You have been
a very disobedient kitten, Mikura.
I need to discover
a new way to punish you.
Yes!
Punish me
for as long as it takes, Mistress Juraku.
Yes.
Because an obedient house pet is one
that I'd lose interest in right away.
I look forward to collaring her.
After I finish breaking her spirit,
Mary will make a divine pet.
This is supposed to be a treasure map?
Hmm. It doesn't really look
like a map though.
We're not interpreting it the right way.
Juraku told us this was a map
when she gave it to us,
so we have to assume
that she was telling us the truth.
What we should be thinking about is
how to make this look like a map, right?
Follow me.
Mm. I think I got it!
I'm starting to see
how this can be a treasure map.
Huh?
This building has four floors.
Each floor has a grid
of eight rooms by four rooms.
The layout is exactly the same
as the one on this map.
In other words,
this map shows each
of the club building rooms
labeled with different,
distinctive numbers.
You figured it out!
Now we need to understand
what these numbers mean.
We won't know that
until we go check out each of the rooms.
MANGA CLUB
Yes?
Anybody home?
Oh. You guys must be
with the Treasure Hunt.
They told us you might be stopping by.
Please feel free to look around
as much as you want.
Thanks. Sorry if we're barging in.
We are never going to find this thing!
Juraku said
that we'd know it when we see it.
I really don't think it's in here.
We have
a lot more rooms we need to get through.
Maybe we should start moving on?
Yeah. Huh?
- Is this it?
- Huh?
Wow. You found it, Mary!
I'd be really surprised
if she made it this blatantly obvious.
USHIWAKAMARU
Of course,
she'd put in things to amuse herself.
FURUSATO / KIYOMASA KATO /
YAMATA NO OROCHI
So there were three chests
in three rooms,
and there was a piece of paper
in each of them.
"Kiyomasa Kato,"
"Yamata no Orochi,"
and "Furusato."
What do you think
all of this is supposed to mean?
Hold up a second.
Aren't these the titles
of primary school songs?
Huh?
During the Meiji era,
the Ministry of Education,
Science, and Culture
created songbooks for grade schools.
Like, "Furusato" is a real famous one.
And, now that I think about it,
I'm pretty sure that "Kiyomasa Kato"
and "Yamata no Orochi"
were in that book too.
Is that right? That's incredible, Yukimi!
You really are president
of the Literary Club, you big nerd!
Oh, well, unfortunately I don't know
much more about it than that.
And I don't know if that helps at all
when it comes
to finding the location of the treasure.
Hmm.
A song.
Huh?
Tsuzura?
I think I... I think I figured it out.
Mistress, if you were to guess,
which of them
do you think is going to win?
Logically, I would say Sakura.
Although, there is a possibility
for Mary to win the game.
But any hope she has
will rely entirely upon her perseverance.
and her relationship with her friends.
It's sheet music?
Yeah. The map is sheet music.
Try reading it like that.
It's a numbered musical notation
where the notes
are represented by numbers.
One through seven equal the chromatic
do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti pitches.
With this kind of notation, if you don't
see symbols written with a number,
it represents a quarter note.
So, if we were to take a song
that was a 4/4 time signature,
four rooms
would be equivalent one measure.
If there are two numbers in one room,
then it means that they're eighth notes.
Zero means it's a quarter rest.
When the numbers are consecutive,
it's treated as a dotted half note.
Numbers that are between rooms
would come out to 1.5 rooms long,
and that's a dotted quarter note.
The numbers next to those
will be counted as an eighth note.
Wow. So you can read sheet music
with numbers.
I had no idea you knew any of that.
Yeah. I've played piano all my life.
Oh, that's right.
You would always play accompanying piano
for the choir performances
back in grade school.
You really remembered that?
That makes me so happy!
So, then this would read as...
♪ So-mi-fa-so-la ♪
♪ So-mi-fa-la-do ♪
♪ La-so-mi-do-re... ♪
This one.
It's "Spring Has Come"!
Oh, that's right!
Hmm. If that's correct,
then I'm seeing
that there's one part off here.
The second measure is "so-mi-fa-so-do,"
but in this sheet music, the fourth "5"
that pops up here is changed to "6."
Off by one space.
Something there that shouldn't be?
That's it, then.
The treasure should be hidden here!
We did it! I can't believe
how quick we won the game.
Sakura, how did you find it?
It wasn't a difficult code
for me to decipher.
Only a matter of time.
This is the map I was given by our dealer.
Huh?
The clues I found
were in rooms one, five, and two.
Those were "Ushiwakamaru,"
"Umi,"
and "Nasu no Yoichi."
They're the first, fifth,
and second grade songs
curated from the primary school songbooks.
To put it simply, the number written
on the room and the grade level coincided.
So then what exactly is seven?
That's when I began searching areas
that didn't fit the logic.
Really?
I guess we shouldn't be proud
that it took three of us
to figure that out.
But this game hasn't reached
it's conclusion yet!
I don't understand what you mean.
I arranged for a treasure hunt,
and you have the chest
right there in your hand.
You have no right
to treat me like an idiot, Juraku.
It's locked!
And the attached key can't reach
to open the lock.
You gave both of our groups
different maps,
and you had us searching for different
treasure boxes from the beginning.
The hunt you created
was just a childish warm-up.
The real game begins right now.
We'll be fighting for these boxes!
Prepare, Saotome!
We end this!
