[kaiju growling]
[Red Ranger 1 panting]
S-S-Save me!
[Red Ranger 1] Quick... Get help!
Calm down. What happened?
[Red Ranger 1] A kaiju... A kaiju has appeared!
Everyone was eaten, and--
[screams]
A kaiju, you say?
[♪ tense music playing]

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
Episode 14 For This School, In This Moment
[Gatou] Are you the rat that has been snooping around on us?
I want to meet your boss. Please let me see them.
I don't know about that.
[commentator over radio] After overcoming Blue Keeper's death
and the Dragon Keepers achieving victory in the last Sunday Showdown,
the Ranger Force has released a statement ahead of tomorrow's Sunday Showdown.
[Sakurama] It looks like you beat me to it, D.
To prevent you from going any further down the wrong path,
I will correct the Ranger Force first.
I can't lose.
Because I know that even now, you must be fighting out there somewhere.
Sakurama, I don't think I can do it anymore!
Run, Usukubo! Keep running!
[Fighter D] Burnable trash is Tuesdays and Saturdays!
If we miss it today, the next one's in three days!
[Usukubo] What a shame. We could have caught up in a bit.
[grunts, pants]
[sighing sharply]
Here
What the heck is this?
We made it through that exam,
and our first job as official Rangers is spring cleaning?
- Why is this garrison so filthy? - [sighs]
[Usukubo] I wonder why we don't see any other squadron members apart from us.
It looks like there's still some dust around.
You shouldn't be slacking, newbie Rangers.
- Good morning, Junior First Rank Hisui! - You're finally here.
Anyway, I'm starved. Cook up something for your superior here.
[Fighter D] Now hold on just a second!
Before that, we need to talk.
Just why did you bring us here--
Whoa!
[Hisui] It looks like Ranger Sakurama has a problem with me.
Staging a rebellion right after joining the squadron? Interesting.
I'll take you on, so come at me.
[grunting]
E-Excuse me...
I can't cook anything since the fridge is empty,
but I brought my lunch over, so feel free to eat it.
[exclaims]
Well done, Usukubo!
I knew I made the right choice bringing you here!
Compared to you, that guy over there is...
[grunts]
Man, I sure hope we're really in the Green Squadron!
[Hisui] Huh? What's your point?
I mean, the Green Keeper! Where is he?
He's away right now.
Huh? Where is he?
As if I know.
Then, what about the other squadron members?
Not here.
If they're not here, where are they?
I said, they're not here.
What?
[Hisui] The Green Squadron comprises a total of four people.
The Green Keeper, me, and the two of you.
[Fighter D] No way.
Impossible!
You look happy.
Huh? Do I?
I called my father today.
I told him that I'm an official Ranger of the Ranger Force now,
even though the work is a little different from how I imagined.
It feels like a miracle.
Let's do our best, Sakurama.
[Fighter D] Yeah, let's do our best.
There's no more turning back.
[Fighter D] Green Keeper, just show yourself already.
I'm in the position to take you down anytime.
[Hisui] That's right. The fact that you're here is a miracle.
[Fighter D] I've decided. After the Green Keeper, you're next.
[Usukubo] Hey, Sakurama.
I found this when I was cleaning just now.
It seems like there are other members in this squadron aside from us two.
Lost: Kanade Tokiwa
Lost: Kyousuke Wakaba
See? There's no way that this squadron only has four members!
Something weird is going on in Green Squadron.
[Red Keeper] As an exception,
having destroyed the boss monster Peltrola's clones,
Kai Shion and Eigen Urabe
have been determined to possess abilities worthy of official Rangers
- and thus passed additionally. - [gasps]
Congratulations!
Starting today, you're a member of the monster punishment experts,
the honorable Red Squadron!
Let's slaughter monsters!
I know you've just joined, Shion, but I would like to ask you a favor.
There's a possibility that a dangerous element has infiltrated the Ranger Force.
- [gasps] - I would like you to investigate it.
- Me? - Yes.
I think you'll be perfect for the job.
[Red Keeper] You'll be dealing with the new Rangers in Green Squadron.
All right, I'm moving out. You guys get ready too.
[Usukubo] Where are we going?
We got intel on the trash of this city. That is, a boss monster.
[gasps]
[Chidori] Hey, over here!
Wait, you're...
Oh, you're the young boy from back then!
Sakurama, you know this guy?
We had a brief encounter a few days ago.
Did you tell him your identity?
Not yet.
This man is Chidori. He's our informant.
The Green Squadron is my regular client.
We'll probably get to meet often.
I see.
That's why you were investigating the "spirited away" family.
[Chidori] That's right.
The abandoned school up ahead is a hangout spot for young delinquents.
It's an enigmatic group who call themselves "Ouroboros."
As I looked into the vanishing incidents supposedly caused by a boss monster,
this group kept coming into the picture.
[Hisui] Sounds like it wouldn't hurt to look into them.
Pardon the intrusion, we're the Ranger Force!
[student 1] Who are you guys?
We're here for an onsite investigation.
We received a report of a monster appearing around this area.
We'll be investigating the school building, if you don't mind.
You think we'll allow this tyranny to happen?
[student 2] Take them down!
Get your ass back now!
[grunts]
This is a request. Please cooperate.
Guys, do not be rude to the guests.
Y-Yes! Sorry, Mr. Gatou!
Are you the boss of this place?
Welcome to Ouroboros.
Feel free to search this place to your heart's content.
Hey, newcomer.
Go show them around the school building.
What? You-You mean me?
[gasps]
We thank every citizen here for your cooperation.
[grunts]
Something wrong?
Oh, it's nothing!
It's just that you look similar to someone who came to visit the other day.
[Hisui] What's this, Sakurama? Are you a member of Ouroboros?
[nervous laughter]
There's no way I'm a spy!
Nishiki, was it?
Are you really a member of this group?
Huh? I guess...
Sorry about this.
I didn't see you when I was doing my investigation.
I'm a newcomer. I only came a week ago.
[Fighter D] Nishiki, why did you want to join Ouroboros?
[Nishiki] You know what happened to the Blue Keeper, right?
I wanted to join the Ranger Force too.
As a school dropout,
I aspired to be a Dragon Keeper when I saw them at home.
But that incident happened!
I thought there was nothing I could do alone,
so I came to this place.
The Ranger Force is here, so the monsters will not cause harm to the general public.
[Nishiki] That's a lie!
In fact, people are being spirited away!
The Ranger Force couldn't prevent it from happening!
- [grunts] - [gasping]
[♪ tense music playing]
- [whimpers] - You're right. We're useless.
[Fighter D] By someone who looks like me, does he mean...
No, he's chasing after the darkness in the Ranger Force.
The boss monsters are out of his jurisdiction,
so there's no way he found this organization.
I can't lose to him.
[Usukubo] Is everything okay, Sakurama?
Huh? Oh... Y-Yeah.
[Hisui] Gatou's not the boss?
Yeah. No one's ever met the boss.
Is that so? Now that's mighty weird.
[Nishiki] Only one person knows who's the boss,
and that's Mr. Gatou.
Boss, the Ranger Force has sniffed us out.
What should we do?
[boss] Really? Now that's a problem.
Yikes, isn't this Junior First Rank Hisui?
I'm not good at dealing with her.
Guess there's no choice.
They'll have to be spirited away.
You sure about this?
I'm positive that those guys are suspicious.
The Green Squadron can't do anything
if there's no proof that a boss monster is involved.
[Nishiki] Please wait!
[Nishiki panting]
Nishiki? What's wrong?
[panting] Today's... Sunday...
Tomorrow...
Please come on a weekday.
What do you mean?
This is all I can tell you. Sorry.
[Chidori] Don't be.
Thank you for the valuable information.
I'm glad you mustered the courage to tell us that.
[grunts]
Can... Can I still aspire to become a hero of justice?
[Hisui] There are no requirements to become a hero.
It all begins at that very moment anyone takes a step forward.
[♪ stirring music playing]
Oh, the weekday...
[Usukubo] Is Junior First Rank Hisui going to take a break from school and come?
[Fighter D] School?
No need to worry about that.
[Chidori] Despite what Junior First Rank Hisui is wearing,
she doesn't attend school.
School Route
She joined the Rangers at an unprecedented age of 10.
The day she decided to devote herself to the Ranger Force,
she bid farewell to her normal life.
[Red Keeper] Kaiju?
Yes, sir. The squadron members who went to the scene
after receiving calls from citizens have yet to return.
In the last transmission, they clearly said a kaiju--
[Red Keeper] That's enough.
There's something important I must attend to now.
What is it?
A luncheon meeting with our sponsors.
- [leaves rustling] - [thudding]
[Red Keeper] I don't have time to bother with trifling matters now.
[Hisui] Something will happen on the weekdays.
Let's go.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
Chidori, what are you carrying?
It's my seven tools of the trade as an informant.
[Chidori] After all, you can never be too prepared.
[♪ suspenseful music continues]
Junior First Rank Hisui...
[bell chimes]
[all gasping]
[Fighter D] Is this place...
What? This place was in complete shambles just a moment ago.
Something's coming. Brace yourselves!
Hey, guys! Good morning!
Let's do our best this week, as usual!
Nishiki?
Morning, Hisui.
Did you go somewhere over the weekend?
Chidori, did you finish the assignments?
What in the world is going on?
[student 1] Good morning! It's been a while!
[student 2] Come on, it's only been two days since we last met!
- [student 1] Huh? Was it? - [student 2] That's what I'm saying.
These people...
[Gatou] Guys, take your seats.
I'm starting the class.
Gatou!
So this was your doing after all!
[♪ uneasy music playing]
[tuts]
[students screaming]
Hisui! What are you doing all of a sudden?
This is outrageous!
The act of a student inflicting violence on a teacher in this school
is an inexcusable offense!
It's a violation of school rules!
[gasps]
[bell chimes]
- Huh? - What was that just now?
Hey, guys! Good morning!
Let's do our best this week, as usual!
Morning, Hisui.
Did you go somewhere over the weekend?
Chidori, did you finish the assignments?
[student 1] Good morning! It's been a while!
[student 2] Come on, it's only been two days since we last met!
[Gatou] Guys, take your seats.
I'm starting the class.
Want to test it out?
[Hisui] Sure.
Hisui! Stabbing a teacher is a violation of school rules!
[bell chimes]
Hey, guys! Good morning!
Let's do our best this week, as usual!
Morning, Hisui.
[♪ eerie music playing]
Don't tell me...
Time has rewound!
Seems like it. We fell into their trap.
I'm sure of it now.
[Chidori] The boss monster, Magatia the Snake is here.
[gasps]
Maga... What are you guys talking about?
Nishiki, do you remember anything about yesterday?
[Gatou] How long will you keep talking?
Ignoring the starting class bell is a violation--
Mr. Gatou, good morning.
Good morning, Usukubo.
I have a rough grasp of the rules now.
Why don't we wait and see until we can find a solution to this?
I agree with Usukubo.
We should assume that we've been trapped in the enemy territory.
Right?
[Hisui] Yeah.
I couldn't leave this place.
Some man who looked like an instructor stopped me by the school gate.
[Hisui] He said, "How could you leave in the middle of class?"
If I'd left, it would've been a school rules violation,
and all would reset.
That said, I don't intend to stay here for a long time.
As the Green Squadron, you need to prepare for the worst.
We're counting on you, Mr. Gatou.
[Hisui] Just don't violate the school rules, got it?
Yes, ma'am!
[Fighter D] Junior First Rank Hisui...
What do you mean... by "school rules"?
[♪ quirky music playing]
Mathematics I
Sakurama.
You've violated the school rules!
[bell chimes]
Oh, it's another reset.
Sakurama, you shouldn't be eating lunch in the middle of a class!
Oh, is that so?
Hey, guys! Good morning!
Guys, take your seats.
I'm starting the class.
[Chidori] I want to gather a bit more information
before we discover the secret behind this school.
We'll aim for the lunch break.
Hold off on your lunch until then.
Yes, ma'am!
[bell chimes]
Sakurama, you shouldn't be peeking into the girls' changing room!
But, they said to find information!
You stay still, Sakurama.
If you violate the school rules again, I'll reset your entire life.
Hey, guys! Good morning!
Guys, take your seats.
I'm starting the class.
[Fighter D] A boss monster could be right beside us for all we know.
How can I stay calm now?
- [Chidori] Young boy. - [gasps]
School is a learning ground for communal living,
so they're strict on those who don't conform.
There are times where you'll be required to carefully observe
the people around you and blend in.
You're an honor student, Hibiki Sakurama, so you should be good at that, right?
Wait...
[Fighter D] Don't tell me that man...
Does he know Sakurama personally?
I should be even more careful in front of him now.
Observe the actions of the surface-dwellers...
Understand them, and blend in.
[♪ pensive music playing]
[grunts]
It's no good!
I have no interest in those surface-living brats!
I don't have a single ally here.
I have to deceive everyone and get through this on my own!
Sakurama, try solving this question.
Huh? Y-Yes!
I... have no idea how to solve this.
[bell chimes]
[Hisui] Now that you guys have joined this squadron,
there's something you should know.
The boss monsters refer to 12 monsters who possess incredible powers.
The ones in Sunday Showdowns are fakes.
They're no boss monsters.
[Hisui] We assigned each boss monster to a corresponding Eto animal.
Peltrola, the boss monster you guys fought, is the Rooster.
There's 12 of them?
And...
the Dragon Keepers have successfully defeated
seven boss monsters in this war.
[gasps]
[Hisui] Thus, there are five boss monsters remaining.
[gasps, gulps]
[Fighter D] You've got to be kidding, Dragon Keepers!
Just how insanely overpowered are they?
Magatia the Snake, who is said to be able to manipulate high-level illusions,
has escaped multiple times.
Illusions...
[Usukubo] This feels so real, and yet it's not the real world.
We can assume that they are the mastermind
behind this illusory school and the vanishing incidents.
[Hisui] All of the students in this school are victims of the vanishing incidents.
[ticks]
Day duty: Sakurama, Usukubo
[Usukubo] I apologize if I've misunderstood,
but you didn't attend school, right Sakurama?
- Huh? No, you're wrong... - [Usukubo laughs]
I knew it. There's no need to hide it from me.
It's natural that some kids don't fit in at school.
Despite how I look, I've been class president for a long time.
If you're in any trouble, you can rely on me.
After all, we're fellow squadron members.
I received a lot of help during the final exam,
so I want to do my best for the Ranger Force too.
Wh... Why would I have trouble in school?
After observing you for an entire day, I can tell that much.
Sakurama, Usukubo
Like I said, you've got the wrong idea.
[ticks]
[Fighter D] But, still...
[ticks]
[bell chimes]
- Sakurama, you... - What? Y-You've got it wrong!
I didn't do anything this time! Right?
Wait, what are you talking about?
Anyway, I heard there's a math test today. Have you prepared?
[♪ closing theme music playing]
