This place is...
That's why I told you.
You mustn't get close to Ouroboros.
I don't know who you are,
but you have my gratitude for looking after me...
You shouldn't force yourself to move.
Who are you?
I'm just a nobody.
I'll be sure to thank you later.
I have to investigate Ouroboros now.
Ouroboros may have the truth that I'm pursuing.
That would be impossible.
They've...
already disbanded.
Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
Principal's Office
There's nothing left.
Not even traces of people here...
The boss monster they talked about was the path to the truth.
What am I doing?
What a useless detour...
I'm so powerless...
Wait!
Wait, Big Sister!
Where are you going?
Who are those people?
Hibiki.
Do you still like the Ranger Force?
Yeah!
I'm going to become a Dragon Keeper!
I see.
I won't allow that to happen.
Big Sister... What should I do?
What is this?
There's really a monster here...
This is a real monster!
You've got to be kidding!
Ruuna!
Sorry, Kiisu...
I don't think I'm going to make it.
You should run by yourself.
You moron!
If we die, we die together, right?
Ruuna!
Kiisu...
Shall we exterminate the monster with the power of love?
That guy...
What's with this thing?
I've never seen this monster before!
A few days before Ouroboros was destroyed,
a small team of the Ranger Force infiltrated the abandoned school.
Among those guys, there was one that looked a lot like you.
I cannot lose.
I cannot afford to stop here.
I will rescue Big Sister!
Help me...
Don't tell me...
You can't let go!
O... Okay!
We can't just leave our benefactor to die.
This guy's a hero who saved us!
- I'm hungry. - Sorry for the wait.
You look adorable!
Is that a new uniform?
The previous one got all torn up, after all.
After all, I need to make a clean break.
- Where's Chidori? - He's got business to attend to.
All right, the meat is cooked.
We didn't eat for a week. I thought we'd die.
Well, we monsters can live even if we don't eat.
Hey! What about my share?
You could've shared some!
Sakurama.
You've got it all wrong.
Yakiniku is a battle.
I see how it is.
This is also a battle...
I was completely useless this time.
I'm very sorry.
Don't worry about it.
You lost your memories since you were influenced by the reset.
Just for the record, I'd like to ask something...
Junior First Rank Hisui, you have no memories of it either, right?
Yeah, none at all.
This place is quite delicious.
Really?
Ugh...
Urabe and Yukino!
So both of you are in the Blue Squadron.
Well, I was just passed additionally.
I've heard...
things got rough right after you joined?
That's right, to think our first mission--
You guys were sent to the countryside
to teach a lesson to some delinquents, right?
That sucks.
Green Squadron is stuck with boring jobs, as usual.
No, we--
Shut up.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thanks as always, Noa.
You're welcome.
Our squadron exists for this kind of service
in place of our low-offense capabilities.
Information from confidential missions gets processed accordingly.
By the Pink Squadron, that is.
Nice and rotten, I see.
Let's have a meal together once things settle down.
Together with your squad back in the exam...
You know, that group of dropouts.
Urabe, what are you fighting for?
For the future of my younger brother and sisters.
Your younger brother looks adorable.
He looks a bit like you, Urabe.
I'm surprised.
I expected you to say something like, "To kill monsters."
On the second day of our final exam,
Ranmaru was saved from death by someone after the boss monster attacked him.
I think it could be that fighter who mimicked Ranmaru.
On the last day of the exam, I heard it from him
that Ranmaru could still be alive.
That guy...
I wonder what that was.
Even though he's our enemy,
maybe he would've understood if we talked to him.
Urabe, are you having second thoughts about fighting monsters?
That's what I want to ask you.
Sakurama.
You've been siding with monsters.
If you hesitate on the battlefield, you'll die.
I'm with you on that one.
Let's both do our best, for his sake too.
Thanks for including Ranmaru as one of your allies.
Thanks for contacting me again.
And for Blue's Divine Artifact, too.
I've recovered it safely, so don't worry.
Now, shall we think together?
About how to kill the Green Keeper, that is.
Amanogawa First Avenue
Say no to discrimination!
All lives are equal!
What's with those people?
Louder, everyone!
Let the world wake up with our voices!
We must extend a loving hand to monsters!
They are living beings, just like us!
Stop discriminating against monsters!
Disband the Ranger Force immediately!
Monster... protection?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You're late...
What's up with that outfit?
"The best place to hide a leaf is in a forest," right?
Are you trying to be funny?
Is this a little too cute?
Nope, it looks lame.
Man, that takes me back.
Me too.
I'm glad to be teaming up with you again, Fighter-kun.
Informants conduct their deals at a place like this?
Come on. It's getting exciting, so keep it down.
At a place like this, too?
Hey, let's at least play this!
This is fun.
Just what are you thinking?
You're after the Divine Artifacts. That is true, right?
What are you planning to do, gathering all of them?
I won't do anything.
What?
I just want to gather them, that's all.
Oops,
we were in the middle of tailing.
This is my first time, so I got too carried away.
As a monster, isn't this the first time for you as well?
What do you mean? If it's tailing--
No... A date, I mean.
Huh?
This girl... she really didn't think this through at all, did she?
We're just about to kill Green, so why are you being so happy-go-lucky?
Huh... So you're prepared to kill humans.
Of course. I'm already...
Aw, I guess the fun times are over.
Look.
Thanks.
Thanks to you, I think we'll be able to kill the Green Keeper.
Well, think you can do it?
Of course. I was born for that purpose.
Sorry, Usukubo.
We've just joined the squadron, but our leader's going to disappear.
Will Junior First Rank Hisui be sad?
She's known Chidori for a long time, after all.
This way! I can feel something over there!
It's probably just your imagination!
No, I'm sure about it!
A-- A monster!
It's really here!
Wait! You guys, keep it down!
Monster, what are you doing on the surface?
Surrender and don't put up a fight!
You should know very well why monsters come to the surface.
It's got to be for invasion.
That's not true!
Our objective is the Green Keeper!
But if they're going to get in the way, we won't be able to avoid a fight.
Isn't there a way to avoid a fight?
I doubt it. Right?
Yeah, there's no other way.
Anyway, is there any meaning for fighters if they don't fight?
Don't blame me when you start regretting the pain!
- He's coming! - We're finally in a real battle!
Take this!
Yukino!
Why doesn't the Dragon Gadget work on her?
That means... it could only be her...
D-Don't kill me...
Seems like you've imagined the vision where your life comes to an end.
But there are people in this world who meet a fate worse than death
because they can't die since there is life in this world.
I wonder if you can imagine that.
I wonder if Yukino's all right.
Jeez. It's a pain that I can't finish you without a Divine Artifact.
You monsters can't move if your head isn't regenerated.
It's just like an assembly-line operation.
But still, you gave me confidence.
Even I can slaughter monsters.
You guys don't die easily, but you're just weaklings.
Yeah, that's right.
Shut up.
We won't die easily.
That's why we haven't lost yet.
Y-You turned around!
Was there something stuck on my crotch?
Real battles are definitely different.
Kill me!
I've come prepared since the day I joined the Ranger Force.
If that woman returns,
she'll probably kill this guy without any hesitation.
Do you wish for monsters to be exterminated?
- What? - Just tell me!
You're our enemy, right?
That's right! Drop dead, monsters!
Masamune, Chikage, Yae... I'm sorry.
It's so noisy outside, it woke me up.
You, fighter.
You need something from me, don't you?
Chidori!
In that case, you should talk to me directly.
Chidori. Transform.
I'll kill him!
He's someone that I must get rid of to achieve world domination.
I'm the proud monster who fights alone!
Muko... Muko... Stay back.
Who are you?
That little...
Divine Artifact, Manifest.
Rewind.
I don't get what's going on, but that hurt.
Divine Artifact, Manifest!
Green Dragon Fafnir!
Ookuninushi no Kami
Dragon Keepers really are on a whole different level!
Don't you die on me, Yukino!
Where are you, Green Keeper?
So it is you, young Suzukiri!
I see what's going on.
This is probably what you're after!
Pause.
Nice, thanks for that.
I'm glad you stopped it for me!
- Green Keeper! - Huh?
It's you.
You bastard, don't you even dare move an inch!
I'll burn the surrounding area to the ground!
What's with that line?
You intend to kill me, right?
In that case, you should just explode that thing without all that useless talk.
I'll grant you your wish...
Ukemochi no Kami!
You hesitated, didn't you?
You'd better not tell me that you didn't want to harm innocent humans.
Did you become attached to humans after you infiltrated the Ranger Force...
young Sakurama?
The Greed Eye.
I attached one of my seven tools as an informant on you back at the school,
and it witnessed your interaction with Wakaba.
You knew about me, so why did you let me go?
Because I wanted to know.
As an informant,
I wanted to know why a fighter would boldly infiltrate the enemy base.
Truth be told, I'm disappointed.
What did you say?
It is truly pathetic to see you question your own enemy.
The least you could do is decide who your enemy is.
If you're a monster, then be as evil and selfish as you can be.
Don't hold on to human ethics like a real human.
The fact that you let me go while playing it so damn cool...
I'll make you regret it someday!
I don't care about the life or death of a mere fighter.
What's going on? My throat feels hot!
Damn it!
Episode 18 Lost in Confusion... Seriously

- Next, please. - Hello.
- Let's extract your molars! - Never mind that. My mole!
Should I remove them or add another one?
Which is better, Doctor?
Next episode, "We Are the Monster Protection Society."
- Which is it? - The more, the better!
A ton, huh?
