Sekirei (2008–2010): Season 2, Episode 11 - Preparations for the Festival - full transcript

In order to save Chiho, Minato must embark upon a treacherous trek to the very top of Teito Tower. His climb will not be easy, but it's the only way to secure the much-needed assistance of MBI.

Minato Sahashi-kun, I take it?

Ah, yes.

I'm impressed you
pulled off an attack like that.

Attack? Then, you're the eastern...

How do you do. I am Izumi Higa.

We finally meet, huh.

This is...

It's what you all want.

You mean this has
Chiho-san's treatment data?

A new promise strongly ties our hearts

The bell tolls for a
changing world, let's go



Even if an unending
battle tears everything apart

I'll just believe in your smile

If I can protect your dreams,
I'll embrace any pain

These increasing desires,
I won't surrender the vow in my heart

Ah, as far as the sky's distant horizon

Yes, passion accelerating and soaring

Ah, no matter what fate holds

Yes, you gave me unrelenting
courage that surpasses it greatly

"Feather Eleven:
Preparations for the Festival"

Why, with Uzume-san?

Number 10 offered her
cooperation voluntarily,

in hopes of extending her Ashikabi's
life, even if only by a small amount.

I did little more than show
proper respect for that sense of purpose.

Besides which, when she ceased functioning,



it was an accident. It
was hardly my intent.

I find it quite unfortunate.

You dare to say that now?!

Think of me what you will,
but those girls are victims of MBI.

What are you...

And we are, as well.

Think about it.

One day, you were made an
Ashikabi out of the blue.

You've been dragged into a game with
no clear outcome, with your life at stake.

Don't you find that absurd?

W-Well...

The most unforgivable part of all

is the fact that this
game, this Sekirei Plan,

is all set up for one man's amusement.

For entertainment?

Yes. For the man called Hiroto Minaka.

It's not just you, either.

There are many whose
lives have been ruined...

due to MBI's power
being wielded over them.

That... That may be true, but...

Just so you know, that Ashikabi's
illness is incurable with modern medicine.

But...

That data is little more than life extension
measures which delay the illness's progress.

How could... You mean Chiho-san will be...

But, if one could surpass
modern medicine...

MBI!

If you truly wish to save that Ashikabi,

there's only one way.

Minato?

Mom?@ I...

What's wrong?

Mom, I have a favor to ask.

A favor?

A treatment method for an illness?

Y-Yeah. I thought maybe
MBI might have something on it.

Yes, I think MBI could manage
something with the technology it possesses.

You mean...

But, come on!
You mean...

A Ronin sponging off his parent,
asking even more favors?

How pathetic!

You promised, didn't you?

If you're a man, do something about it
on your own without relying on your mom!

Thanks to that data, Chiho-tan seems
to have stabilized, thank goodness.

Yeah. We can't relax just yet,
but for the moment...

We can enjoy a little relief, huh.

What's the matter, Minato?

Actually, I want all of
your help with something.

I want to go to MBI.

What didst thou say?!

Th-That'd be...

Hi, Minato Sahashi-kun! How are you?

Minaka!

I heard all about it.

About it?

You want my assistance in
treating an incurable illness, yes?

I get it. Mom must have...

I am famed for my deep compassion.
I would love to offer my cooperation.

Y-You mean it?

Wow, the company president is so nice!

Ah, hold on. However!

That's only if you can make it

up to the top level of
Teito Tower sometime tomorrow.

The top level? What do you mean by...

Well then, I wish you the best of luck!

Who would've expected
contact right from him?

If this is what I think it is...

This might get extremely dangerous.

It seems as though there are
more little birds now with plucked wings.

Yes, they've been reduced by roughly half.

You seem to be in poor spirits, Takami-kun.

Of course, it's not like I gave the Sekirei
adjustments for a purpose like this one.

Actually, I just had
another entertaining idea.

Something entertaining, and sweet.

Sweet?

Don't tell me you've...

Oh, yes. I've gotten a great tip.

Didn't I tell you not to tap
into other people's phone calls?!

"MAIL SENT"

Crap!

An appropriate conclusion
for the second stage!

The climax has finally begun!

This is Hiroto Minaka.
To all of you out there with no wins.

It's finally time for your last chance!

Tomorrow, a group of people will
be launching an assault on Teito Tower.

Anyone who can properly intercept them,

will be granted an unconditional extension
from ceasing function, and furthermore,

anyone who can defeat them will
be granted a fabulous reward,

so those of you with wins
already can feel free to join in as well!

A reward, he says!

Finally, a rare item has shown up!

Sounds like fun!

Launching an assault on MBI?
What kind of person would even try?

I couldn't say.

It must be someone incredibly
overconfident and violent.

W-Why...?

Considering what happened with Kusano-tan
and Kagari-tan, it's within expectations.

It'll be okay!

No matter who gets in our way,
Musubi's fists will triumph!

Indeed! My water shall never permit
any to stand in my Ashikabi's way!

We'll protect you, Brother!

All of you...

Don't underestimate my brain.
What art thou saying?

Most of the Ashikabi in the capital
are gathering at MBI, regardless of wins.

I'd only intended to spur
the north into attacking MBI,

but it's turned into a rather
interesting development.

Your guests have arrived.

Send them in.

Yes, I understand your request.

I don't think it's simple enough
to handle immediately, though.

Doesn't matter, as long as the pay's right.

How very up-front.

Will a group like that
be able to handle it?

Perhaps, just in case,
our Sekirei should also...

There's no need for us to
go out of our way to interfere.

Like a looter at the scene of a fire, yes?

I've confirmed their main security routes.

But, as we get closer
to MBI central headquarters,

it'll be impossible to reach the top level
without directly stopping security forces.

Then, does that mean you'll also be...

That's right. Matsu will have to
get inside the tower to manipulate it.

Don't sound so eager...

That means a full sortie, right?

Everyone together!

I trust thou art fine with this, Minato?

Yeah.

Come on! Last night
before the decisive battle!

Is it right to relax in the
bath before a decisive battle?

It's no mere bath!
It's a Sekirei pre-sortie ceremony.

The body must be cleaned before battle!

Why dost thou drink while claiming
it to be a purification ceremony?!

Ah, this is an offering to the gods!

Well, there's no need to go around all tense.
It's better to relax and deal with what comes.

What comes!

I...

I first fought with Uzume-san here.

So here is where I'll get my spirits up!

Yes! That's the spirit, Musubi!

It sounds cheery in there...

Sahashi-san?

A-Ah, it's not like I want to go look!

I'll have a meal prepared tomorrow.

If you can't make it to the meal,
the cost will be added to your rent, okay?

Landlady...

Please make certain to return.

Yes, Ma'am.

It's not that I'm not concerned, of course.

That's why I chewed Minato out to
get him to go in on his own and take it.

But that idiot had my line bugged,
and blew it out of proportion.

I get it.

It's just one thing
after another. I'm really sorry.

No, this is something Sahashi chose.

And I... We want to grant his wish.

That's all.

What lovely weather for a sortie!

Indeed!

Outdoors, it's been so long!

I feel like I understand,
when I see Uzume-san and other Sekirei.

It's not logical.

They care, they're cared for.
They have precious bonds.

To protect those, there are times

when they must work to
the utmost of their power and fight.

That's what they've all taught me.

Okay, let's go!

It seems like Sahashi
has a different air about him.

Sekirei are birds that teach of love.

They teach of love, and are taught of love.

Before realizing it, they form
the great power known as a bond,

and they call forth miracles.

That is why Sekirei are given life.

Miracles?

Ah, I just got reminded of
someone who spoke of such things.

Are you ready to go, Minato-san?

Isn't it too brazen to
go around in the daytime?

On the contrary, there are more
people around in public during the day.

MBI wouldn't get that excessive in...

This is MBI.

Today, martial law has been
imposed on all of the capital.

Everyone going outside without
express permission, please return indoors.

This is MBI...

My, the president does
get pretty excessive.

A-Anyway, let's keep our
spirits up and hang in there!

Y-Yeah, you're right.

Well, I'm off.

Then, it is time to depart for the front!

I'm off, Landlady.

I'm off, Landlady.

I'm off!

Landlady, I shall be off.

Take care of preparations for
the celebration, okay?

Do take care, and come back soon.

Mina-tan, stand by near
the tower until you're contacted.

Musubi-tan, Tsukiumi-tan,
Kazehana-tan, you're guarding Mina-tan.

While Mina-tan is positioned at the front,

Matsu's group will
sneak in from a rear route,

and take control of the MBI server room.

That must be why you're
wearing that disguise, huh?

Kusano-tan. Up ahead is a route
directly connected to MBI, right?

Yup. Takami-chan
took me out on walks a lot.

But, a mean person came...

So that's why you became the green girl.

Regardless of reasons, you've made
our operation a lot easier, Kusano-tan.

Over there!

It looks rather defenseless.

It's supposed to be a
garden facility, after all.

They can't afford to place
any guards that would stand out.

Trying to intrude here?
They really don't know their limits.

But... that makes it... easier.

It seems they've arrived.

I'll do my best for you, Natsuo, got it?

Sure. All of you hang in there, okay?

Leave it to me! Take it easy, Natsuo!

You're wasting your breath
on someone that gay.

Shut up, Haihane!

All right. I'm gonna beat them to a pulp!

Your Sekirei core is shining more brightly.

Yes! I learned the Bear Fist!

Even without Yume, it seems you
have some amusement to offer me.

It's so quiet.

It's creepy, having
nobody out at this time of day.

Stop.

It doesn't seem particularly different.

Y-Yeah, I was expecting
MBI troops to be around.

But it looks like there are others around.

What art thou talking about?

You're the boss character, then?

See? There are plenty of people around!

The kids who got the e-mail, huh?

We're completely surrounded!

I get it. So we just
have to beat them, right?

If we do, we won't have to be separated.

Matsu-san! My side is actually...

Mina-tan, I apologize, but...

M-Matsu-san?

I figured you'd come this way.
Have you been doing well, green girl?

Discarded Number. You came, huh.

We meet again.

Now, to get that rare item,
you'll have to be defeated!

Get them!

Sekirei Number 65, Taki.

Mist?

No!

Matsu! This is your chance!

R-Right!

It's been some time, 02.

We've met at an
unfortunate time, haven't we?

The feeling is mutual, 05.
Or rather... Mutsu-tan!

Mutsu! They're getting away!

I won't...

The mist has turned to ice fog.

I borrowed a bit of her power.
How do you like it?

Shit!

Matsu-san! What's wrong?
Matsu-san, Matsu-san!

It cut off.

Something could have
happened on their end.

We'll have to get inside on our own.

Then I shall take all
of these people on at once!

Don't, Tsukiumi!

What?

We mustn't fight these people.

These people don't really want to fight.
But if they don't fight,

they'll be separated. That's the
only reason they came here. So...

Even still. Even if we respect that,
they won't just let us pass.

Yo! Is this where the action is?

Who're you?

We found them first. Don't butt in!

Yeah! You're dead!
In a game, it's first come, first served.

C'mon, let's go, my lovelies!

Right!

What's with him? He's totally relaxed!

He must just be some idiot.

Hey! Who just called me an idiot?!

Was it you?

Huh?! Was it you?

Ashikabi-sama!

Ow!

You guys...

I'll beat all of you into the ground!

It looks like they're fighting each other.

W-What's going on?

Either way, this is our chance.

Yes, let's get to MBI while we still can.

R-Right.

It opened?

My, today's a day off?

Nobody's here?

Musubi, do not relax thy guard.

Right.

W-We've been shut inside?

It looks like Minaka plans to play
with the toys he made yet again.

But if he plays with them the wrong way,
those toys of his could injure him.

Now, everyone. The preparations
for the festival are complete.

Enjoy yourselves to your heart's content!

Fate, all of it depends on you

As long as I'm with you, no matter where,
I'll bear the same feelings

The continent in our path,
that no one has discovered yet

This love could be an adventure, like
first setting foot on that (it must be)

It's the truth, everything I feel

That voice is even calling me now (always)

I know it's reckless,
but I want to try it together

I don't need anything as long as you smile

It explains the point of my being alive

Fate, all of it depends on you

As long as I'm with you, no matter where,
I'll bear the same feelings

Let's go, Haihane!

If we lose this time,
our punishment is obvious.

Punishment?

Punishment.

The basis of three evils.

Three evils?
It'll probably be something crappy.
