Sekirei (2008–2010): Season 2, Episode 8 - Kusa's Play - full transcript
The CEO of the clandestine MBI declares that any Ashikabi with no wins will have their Sekirei disabled! During the commotion that ensues, various sides discuss how the declaration will impact their lives.
The Ashikabi who have yet to win anything,
are recognized as no longer having
the desire to participate in the game,
and all of the Sekirei in their
possession will cease functioning!
This shall become effective
as of two weeks from this day!
All of you who fall within this category,
fight and put some spirit into it!
You've pulled yet another nasty stunt.
Well, there shouldn't be any
problems for the north this time, at least.
Most Ashikabi out there are ordinary people
forced to participate against their will.
Of course there aren't many who would
willingly get in on dangerous battles.
Around 40% of them shouldn't
have gotten any victories yet.

They'll be forced to cease functioning?!
They'll be forced to cease functioning?!
So that's the way he's doing things.
Well, in your case, Mina-tan,
Musubi-tan's already caused two
other Sekireis to cease functioning.
I don't think you'd have anything
to do with this matter directly, but...
But, to say that just because some
Ashikabi-sama and Sekirei haven't won anything,
they're being forcibly separated?
Musubi can't accept this!
Yup, yup!
That is why I call ye too soft.
Sekirei exist to do battle.
Sekirei that won't fight are
not needed in the Sekirei Plan!
Tsukiumi...
No, Tsukiumi-tan makes a good point.
It would end up like this
sooner or later, regardless.
As the Sekirei Plan
is a tournament in nature,
the game won't progress
if the players don't act.
This means Ashikabi and Sekirei in
hiding will be forced to show themselves.
Well played.
We're top-ranking in terms of wins.
It's not our problem.
You haven't considered the possibility
of desperate people attacking us?
Actually, that would be exciting.
We would be a target.
Yeah, all we've been
fighting for is to find Ku-chan.
We've never had to
make anyone cease functioning.
At this rate, we'll be...
I've decided.
Shiina, from now on,
let's be in this to win!
I mean, I wouldn't want to
be separated from you, Shiina.
So, Seo, what'll you do?
That fool Homura has interfered
with you and forced you to run.
We've never gone as far as making an
enemy cease functioning before.
Hmm, what to do?
Hibiki!
What?
Is there any beer left in the fridge?
Huh?
Be serious and listen to us!
Say, Master?
What e-mail is that?
It's getting more and more exciting.
Okay, first we eat! Let's go get a meal!
Right!
Convey the entire contents of this e-mail.
Understood.
Who would have expected
MBI to give her a push?
You sure bought a lot, huh?
Yes! I have to live up
to my shopping reputation!
Say, Musubi-chan.
Yes?
That e-mail. Matsu-san
said it had nothing to do with us,
but are you all right with this?
It'll be fine.
After all, whenever you go out,
one of us will escort you!
And Matsu-san is always watching
over us from a surveillance satellite!
What is it?
Well, that's not quite what I meant...
Matsu-san?
Mina-tan, Mina-tan! Um, you see, well...
Mina-tan, you and
your escort are being tailed.
It's a pair.
It's probably an Ashikabi and a Sekirei.
Don't tell me we're being targeted already?
W-What should we do?
What's the matter, Minato-san?
S-She says someone's tailing us.
Tailing?
Excuse me!
Who might you be?
M-Musubi-chan!
Sekirei?
You.
You're the northern Ashikabi that
assisted Shigi's escape, aren't you?
Are you sure we shouldn't go?
Well, if they were going to fight,
they would have attacked before this.
If we make too much of
a fuss around Tsukiumi-tan,
we won't be able to
find out what they want.
That's true.
Minato has yet to return.
Right, Kusano?
I'm no good at rock-paper-scissors.
Yup, yup!
Is there any way that I can beat Musubi,
aside from shopping
races and rock-paper-scissors?
Northern Ashikabi, I
need to speak with you.
N-Northern Ashikabi?
Right now, there's a plan
for multiple Ashikabi and Sekirei
to escape the capital, us included.
A-Are you a friend of Shigi-kun?
Not quite a friend. We were just
playing around in this game.
Playing around?
Then we ran into them.
He had a really weak Sekirei, didn't he?
It made for a hell of a laugh.
Well, I was still relieved that
small fry guys like that could survive.
Small fry?
Still, they really pulled it off!
We should've taken a feather or two,
if we'd known that e-mail was coming.
Say, you.
Want to lend a hand?
You're welcome to get in on this plan.
Escape the capital?
Musubi-chan, wake up!
Wake up, Musubi-chan!
I went to a guy named
Seo's place first, but...
Seo-san?
Ah, it'll never work.
You guys will be so dead.
You heard about me from Seo-san?
Don't be ridiculous.
There isn't a single Ashikabi
that hasn't heard rumors of the escape.
You're pretty famous, you know.
You went at it with the
Discipline Squad, right?
I mean, weaklings like that would never
have been able to escape on their own.
They're not weak.
Kuno-san is certainly not weak.
Yeah. And if Seo-san said
it wouldn't work, it won't work.
A person who talks about playing around,
who mocks Shigi-kun and Kuno-san as
weaklings when they tried so desperately...
I can't help you.
It's MBI!
Shit! Let's go, Nanaha!
They're already under
pursuit this strong from MBI?
Hi there, Mu-chan.
Karasuba-sama!
What are you doing here?
I'm here on business.
Mu-chan, you're looking interesting... Hm?
Your Sekirei core is shining more brightly.
Yes! I learned the Bear Fist!
I can't wait for the promised day.
I'll be waiting at Kouten.
Right!
The Discipline Squad...
Minato-san.
Those people we just
met... They're done for.
We're home!
We just went out on a little errand,
and all that happened.
Minato!
Thou art late!
S-Sorry!
So that's what it was.
The Ashikabi who have plotted
individual escapes have all failed.
So in that case, going with numbers...
Considering it that way, it makes sense.
Sorry.
I turned him down
without asking any of you...
Of course! I turned him down
without asking any of you...
I have little regard for people who merely
recognize the results of the Kuno matter,
and seek to flee from the fighting!
By all means, do it as much as you like.
I don't like the type who
runs once things get dangerous.
Musubi thinks Minato-san
did the right thing.
Yup, yup.
Sahashi, I think all of your Sekirei
share your feelings on this.
Y-Yeah, thanks.
Well, you were right to turn him down.
Talking about a plan
like that out in the open?
It could only be considered careless.
And the fact that MBI was pursuing
them is proof that the plan had a leak.
Say, Matsu-san.
What happened to those people from earlier?
The fact that Discipline Squad
Number 04 got involved means...
They're probably...
Yes.
She seems to have come
to understand a little, now.
Is that the way it is, Yume?
The reason you entrusted
your soul to that child...
She might truly become stronger than you.
It thrills me.

"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha

"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha

"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha (CEASED FUNCTIONING)"
The Ashikabi was taken in by MBI.
"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha

"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha (CEASED FUNCTIONING)" Number
78, Nanaha, ceased functioning at Number 04's hands.
"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha
(CEASED FUNCTIONING)"
"Yoichi Himura / Nanaha (CEASED FUNCTIONING)"
That marks the end for that escape plan, I guess.
That marks the end for
that escape plan, I guess.
The Discipline Squad...
Number 04, Karasuba.
I doubt there is anyone right now
who could stand up to her in a fight.
That might change if Number 01,
from the former Discipline Squad, acts.
Say, Matsu-san.
This Number 01 person comes
up a lot when you talk about this stuff.
Where is that person now...
Shh! Don't, Sahashi. Any more would mean...
A scary hannya would show up!
Everyone! I have dinner set out!
Ah, Landlady!
Oh, my apologies for
not assisting, Landlady.
Sahashi-san?
Uh, yes?
Number 01 is dead.
Along with Take hi to Asama of MBI.
Land... lady?
Come on! Let's go get dinner, Minato-san!
Uh, right...
Hey, Musubi! How dare
thee cling to his arm!
M-Matsu didn't say a word.
We didn't, either.
Due to that man, I have come to know
people, to live in the world of people.
And I am here now.
I am far different from how I was then.
Okay, examination finished!
You can put your clothes on.
Ah, Kaoru-kun. Did you do what I asked?
You know, handling the
cleaning at the empty house?
Eh? You forgot?
Kaoru-kun!
Sorry.
As long as you understand.
Okay, I'll call again when
I'm ready to head back.
Yes sir.
What's with that grumbling voice?
No, I was just...
Man, you're a real slave-driver!
That's the first time, isn't it?
That you've laughed for me.
Fond memories?
Don't speak so, Kagari-san.
Ah, I love this kind of thing.
I truly cared for him.
Enough to lose sight of my role.
Miya-tan...
But, those feelings...
Their end result was to...
was to get Take hi to-san killed.
How's that?! I'm out of cards!
Okay, Tsukiumi-tan, draw a hand.
W-What didst thou say?!
How many times do I have to tell you?
When you get rid of your cards,
you have to declare Naho!
N-Naho!
My, my. It's too late to say it now.
Thou couldst show some magnanimity!
Those are the rules.
Yes!
C-Curse thee...
Naho!
What?!
Oh, Ku-chan wins again?
You're good at this, Ku-chan!
Goodness, it's so bustling in here.
Sorry, Landlady.
What is everyone doing?
W-Well, uh...
A wife contest to replace
rock-paper-scissors and shopping races.
Kusano proposed playing cards, but...
Why is Kusano the best at it?!
There you have it.
You're as popular as ever, Sahashi-san.
L-Landlady!
However, if you were to do anything
remotely indecent in Maison lzumo...
I-I won't! I wouldn't do
anything even slightly indecent!
Have a good night.
Naho!
Ku-chan wins again!
Why can't I get rid of my cards at all?!
It's a game that depends heavily on luck.
Even with Matsu's brains, it's still tough.
Kusano-tan, where did you learn this?
I played it with U-chan a bunch.
With Uzume?
Yup!
See? This is how you
hold your hand and cheat.
Simple people will always fall for it.
Simple people?
What are all of ye implying?!
U-chan...
I wanted to play with U-chan, too.
I just had a good idea!
How about, as a special
prize for the winner,
they go on an all-day
date with Minato-kun tomorrow?
Hold on, Kazehana-san!
You can't keep making things up and...
Then, how about something like...
the losers have to strip?
A-A date will be fine!
Otherwise the landlady would kill me!
Then I'll win, and teach you how
adults spend time together, Minato-kun.
I absolutely cannot lose!
Musubi won't lose, either!
It's time for Matsu to
get serious for once!
Thou dost not even go outside!
- I get it, I get it.
My opinion doesn't mean anything here.
I have a special suit just for such times!
Kagari-san?
Uzume...
Chiho, have a look!
It's a beautiful full moon.
It really is... it's so round.
If only the two of us could fly up there.
Yeah, it'd be nice.
And forget about everything...
I'm off!
I'm
Come back soon!
Listen! Thou hast four hours for thy date!
If thou art even a minute late,
I shall show no mercy!
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Y es, ma'am!
Ouch...
Ugh, what an awful hangover.
You were doing more drinking
than you were playing, weren't you?
Oh? What are you talking about?
But last night, Kazehana-tan
had a nice follow-up.
It might have been a little cruel
to remind Mina-tan about Uzume-tan.
The data on the Sekirei presumed
to be defeated by the Veiled Sekirei
all claim the winner is unclear.
Which means Uzume-tan's
recorded victories are still at zero.
Which in turn means she
might show up as our enemy.
Yes, very much so.
When he realizes that,
Mina-tan will... probably...
It's been a while since I've gone out.
The doctor said you were doing well
today, so he'd make a special exception.
Just looking from a window,
I forget how vast the sky really is.
Not just the sky.
There are wide oceans and tall mountains.
One day, we'll go see them together.
Will I be able to?
I'm sure you will.
The wind's a little chilly, so I'll go
grab a lap blanket. Wait here.
Wind? Uzume-chan!
You'll be with me forever, right?
Don't be silly, of course I will!
I'll always be with you.
Ah...
If you keep saying weird things,
I'll steal your lips next time!
Oh, Uzume-chan!
I'll be right back, so wait there.
Right.
Did you have fun?
Yeah! Ku had lots of fun!
Thank you, Brother. I love you!
I just took you shopping
at a department store,
and had some lunch.
Hm? Ku-chan?
Cease functioning?
Your Ashikabi doesn't use a cell phone,
so I was asked to inform you.
You're too kind.
It hardly needs to be said, but you...
I know!
It hardly needs to be said, but you...
With a dirty job like this,
of course I don't have any wins!
But you won't simply lie down and
cease functioning, I trust?
For your dear, beloved Ashikabi, right?
On that note, Higa-sama has
offered to give you a chance at a win.
But your opponent will be one
of the northern Sekirei, he says.
Northern?
But this is not an order.
It is your choice whether or not to...
I'll do it.
All right.
Ku-chan! Ku-chan!
Where could she have gone?
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
Where could she have gone?
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
A hospital?
A hospital?
How cute.
Meow-meow!
Meow-meow!
Hello there.
Hello there!
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
To protect Chiho's life, it doesn't matter.
Even if... the enemy I
defeat is a close friend...
No matter who it is...

would least want to be attacked by!
I'm just an Ashikabi! Boo-hoo.
I believe your, er, finishing blow
seems to look realistically painful.
Is that right?

They'll be forced to cease functioning?!
So that's the way he's doing things.
Well, in your case, Mina-tan,
Musubi-tan's already caused two
other Sekireis to cease functioning.
I don't think you'd have anything
to do with this matter directly, but...
But, to say that just because some
Ashikabi-sama and Sekirei haven't won anything,
they're being forcibly separated?
Musubi can't accept this!

Sekirei that won't fight are

Tsukiumi...
No, Tsukiumi-tan makes a good point.

As the Sekirei Plan
is a tournament in nature,
the game won't progress

Well played.
We're top-ranking in terms of wins.
It's not our problem.
You haven't considered the possibility
of desperate people attacking us?
Actually, that would be exciting.
We would be a target.
Yeah, all we've been
fighting for is to find Ku-chan.
We've never had to
make anyone cease functioning.
At this rate, we'll be...
I've decided.
Shiina, from now on,
let's be in this to win!
I mean, I wouldn't want to
be separated from you, Shiina.
So, Seo, what'll you do?
That fool Homura has interfered
with you and forced you to run.
We've never gone as far as making an
enemy cease functioning before.
Hmm, what to do?
Hibiki!
What?
Is there any beer left in the fridge?
Huh?
Be serious and listen to us!
Say, Master?
What e-mail is that?
It's getting more and more exciting.
Okay, first we eat! Let's go get a meal!
Right!
Convey the entire contents of this e-mail.
Understood.
Who would have expected
MBI to give her a push?
You sure bought a lot, huh?
Yes! I have to live up
to my shopping reputation!
Say, Musubi-chan.
Yes?
That e-mail. Matsu-san
said it had nothing to do with us,
but are you all right with this?
It'll be fine.
After all, whenever you go out,
one of us will escort you!
And Matsu-san is always watching
over us from a surveillance satellite!
What is it?
Well, that's not quite what I meant...
Matsu-san?
Mina-tan, Mina-tan! Um, you see, well...
Mina-tan, you and
your escort are being tailed.
It's a pair.
It's probably an Ashikabi and a Sekirei.
Don't tell me we're being targeted already?
W-What should we do?
What's the matter, Minato-san?
S-She says someone's tailing us.
Tailing?
Excuse me!
Who might you be?
M-Musubi-chan!
Sekirei?
You.
You're the northern Ashikabi that
assisted Shigi's escape, aren't you?
Are you sure we shouldn't go?
Well, if they were going to fight,
they would have attacked before this.
If we make too much of
a fuss around Tsukiumi-tan,
we won't be able to
find out what they want.
That's true.
Minato has yet to return.
Right, Kusano?
I'm no good at rock-paper-scissors.
Yup, yup!
Is there any way that I can beat Musubi,
aside from shopping
races and rock-paper-scissors?
Northern Ashikabi, I
need to speak with you.
N-Northern Ashikabi?
Right now, there's a plan
for multiple Ashikabi and Sekirei
to escape the capital, us included.
A-Are you a friend of Shigi-kun?
Not quite a friend. We were just
playing around in this game.
Playing around?
Then we ran into them.
He had a really weak Sekirei, didn't he?
It made for a hell of a laugh.
Well, I was still relieved that
small fry guys like that could survive.
Small fry?
Still, they really pulled it off!
We should've taken a feather or two,
if we'd known that e-mail was coming.
Say, you.
Want to lend a hand?
You're welcome to get in on this plan.
Escape the capital?
Musubi-chan, wake up!
Wake up, Musubi-chan!
I went to a guy named
Seo's place first, but...
Seo-san?
Ah, it'll never work.
You guys will be so dead.
You heard about me from Seo-san?
Don't be ridiculous.
There isn't a single Ashikabi
that hasn't heard rumors of the escape.
You're pretty famous, you know.
You went at it with the
Discipline Squad, right?
I mean, weaklings like that would never
have been able to escape on their own.
They're not weak.
Kuno-san is certainly not weak.
Yeah. And if Seo-san said
it wouldn't work, it won't work.
A person who talks about playing around,
who mocks Shigi-kun and Kuno-san as
weaklings when they tried so desperately...
I can't help you.
It's MBI!
Shit! Let's go, Nanaha!
They're already under
pursuit this strong from MBI?
Hi there, Mu-chan.
Karasuba-sama!
What are you doing here?
I'm here on business.
Mu-chan, you're looking interesting... Hm?
Your Sekirei core is shining more brightly.
Yes! I learned the Bear Fist!
I can't wait for the promised day.
I'll be waiting at Kouten.

So that's what it was.
The Ashikabi who have plotted

So in that case, going with numbers...
Considering it that way, it makes sense.
Sorry.
I turned him down
without asking any of you...
Of course! I turned him down
without asking any of you...
I have little regard for people who merely
recognize the results of the Kuno matter,
and seek to flee from the fighting!
By all means, do it as much as you like.
I don't like the type who
runs once things get dangerous.
Musubi thinks Minato-san
did the right thing.
Yup, yup.
Sahashi, I think all of your Sekirei
share your feelings on this.
Y-Yeah, thanks.
Well, you were right to turn him down.
Talking about a plan

We didn't, either.
Due to that man, I have come to know
people, to live in the world of people.
And I am here now.
I am far different from how I was then.
Okay, examination finished!
You can put your clothes on.
Ah, Kaoru-kun. Did you do what I asked?
You know, handling the
cleaning at the empty house?
Eh? You forgot?
Kaoru-kun!
Sorry.
As long as you understand.
Okay, I'll call again when
I'm ready to head back.

No, I was just...
Man, you're a real slave-driver!
That's the first time, isn't it?
That you've laughed for me.
Fond memories?
Don't speak so, Kagari-san.
Ah, I love this kind of thing.
I truly cared for him.
Enough to lose sight of my role.
Miya-tan...
But, those feelings...
Their end result was to...
was to get Take hi to-san killed.
How's that?! I'm out of cards!
Okay, Tsukiumi-tan, draw a hand.
W-What didst thou say?!
How many times do I have to tell you?
When you get rid of your cards,
you have to declare Naho!
N-Naho!
My, my. It's too late to say it now.
Thou couldst show some magnanimity!
Those are the rules.
Yes!
C-Curse thee...
Naho!
What?!
Oh, Ku-chan wins again?
You're good at this, Ku-chan!
Goodness, it's so bustling in here.
Sorry, Landlady.
What is everyone doing?
W-Well, uh...
A wife contest to replace
rock-paper-scissors and shopping races.
Kusano proposed playing cards, but...
Why is Kusano the best at it?!
There you have it.
You're as popular as ever, Sahashi-san.
L-Landlady!
However, if you were to do anything
remotely indecent in Maison lzumo...
I-I won't! I wouldn't do
anything even slightly indecent!
Have a good night.
Naho!
Ku-chan wins again!
Why can't I get rid of my cards at all?!
It's a game that depends heavily on luck.
Even with Matsu's brains, it's still tough.
Kusano-tan, where did you learn this?
I played it with U-chan a bunch.
With Uzume?
Yup!
See? This is how you
hold your hand and cheat.
Simple people will always fall for it.
Simple people?
What are all of ye implying?!
U-chan...
I wanted to play with U-chan, too.
I just had a good idea!
How about, as a special
prize for the winner,
they go on an all-day
date with Minato-kun tomorrow?
Hold on, Kazehana-san!
You can't keep making things up and...
Then, how about something like...
the losers have to strip?
A-A date will be fine!
Otherwise the landlady would kill me!
Then I'll win, and teach you how
adults spend time together, Minato-kun.
I absolutely cannot lose!
Musubi won't lose, either!
It's time for Matsu to
get serious for once!
Thou dost not even go outside!
- I get it, I get it.
My opinion doesn't mean anything here.
I have a special suit just for such times!
Kagari-san?
Uzume...
Chiho, have a look!
It's a beautiful full moon.
It really is... it's so round.
If only the two of us could fly up there.
Yeah, it'd be nice.
And forget about everything...
I'm off!
I'm
Come back soon!
Listen! Thou hast four hours for thy date!
If thou art even a minute late,
I shall show no mercy!
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Y es, ma'am!
Ouch...
Ugh, what an awful hangover.
You were doing more drinking
than you were playing, weren't you?
Oh? What are you talking about?
But last night, Kazehana-tan
had a nice follow-up.
It might have been a little cruel
to remind Mina-tan about Uzume-tan.
The data on the Sekirei presumed
to be defeated by the Veiled Sekirei
all claim the winner is unclear.
Which means Uzume-tan's
recorded victories are still at zero.
Which in turn means she
might show up as our enemy.
Yes, very much so.
When he realizes that,
Mina-tan will... probably...
It's been a while since I've gone out.
The doctor said you were doing well
today, so he'd make a special exception.
Just looking from a window,
I forget how vast the sky really is.
Not just the sky.
There are wide oceans and tall mountains.
One day, we'll go see them together.
Will I be able to?
I'm sure you will.
The wind's a little chilly, so I'll go
grab a lap blanket. Wait here.
Wind? Uzume-chan!
You'll be with me forever, right?
Don't be silly, of course I will!
I'll always be with you.
Ah...
If you keep saying weird things,
I'll steal your lips next time!
Oh, Uzume-chan!
I'll be right back, so wait there.
Right.
Did you have fun?
Yeah! Ku had lots of fun!
Thank you, Brother. I love you!
I just took you shopping
at a department store,
and had some lunch.
Hm? Ku-chan?
Cease functioning?
Your Ashikabi doesn't use a cell phone,
so I was asked to inform you.
You're too kind.
It hardly needs to be said, but you...
I know!
It hardly needs to be said, but you...
With a dirty job like this,
of course I don't have any wins!
But you won't simply lie down and
cease functioning, I trust?
For your dear, beloved Ashikabi, right?
On that note, Higa-sama has
offered to give you a chance at a win.
But your opponent will be one
of the northern Sekirei, he says.
Northern?
But this is not an order.
It is your choice whether or not to...
I'll do it.
All right.
Ku-chan! Ku-chan!
Where could she have gone?
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
Where could she have gone?
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
A hospital?
A hospital?
How cute.
Meow-meow!
Meow-meow!
Hello there.
Hello there!
"Hiyama-kai Hospital"
To protect Chiho's life, it doesn't matter.
Even if... the enemy I
defeat is a close friend...
No matter who it is...

Hey, Shiina!
I was chosen as the character people
would least want to be attacked by!
I'm just an Ashikabi! Boo-hoo.
I believe your, er, finishing blow
seems to look realistically painful.
Is that right?
