Episode 15 Lost Memories
[slurps]
Boss monster Magatia. That damn bastard!
- Usukubo, come to your senses! - [gasps]
You're not a student in this school.
You're on a mission as part of the Ranger Force's Green Squadron.
Ranger Force...
[gasping]
I'm sorry.
Why did I...
These nostalgic memories...
What's going on?
[Nishiki] Hey, guys! Good morning!
Let's do our best this week, as usual!
Morning, Hisui.
[Nishiki] Did you go somewhere over the weekend?
Chidori, did you finish the assignments?
- Shut up, Nishiki! - Usukubo...
Sakurama, hold on to Usukubo!
Get a hold of yourself, Usukubo!
Don't fall into the boss monster's trap...
You're hurting me, Sakurama.
What do you mean by boss monster?
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[Hisui] How is Usukubo?
[Fighter D] She's been the same the entire time.
She's taking classes as usual, talking to her friends as usual,
and should be having her lunch as usual.
I tried inviting her here, but she refused.
She's probably brainwashed by Magatia, just like the other guys.
Why is it only Usukubo?
Junior First Rank Hisui is acting the same as always.
Sakurama, you sound like you wish I would act like a normal student.
No, you'll never become a student like that!
[Chidori] At the very least,
this reset was not caused by any four of us violating the school rules.
[Chidori] In that case,
we can infer that the end of a school day also causes a reset.
So we can't leave this place.
[Fighter D] Are we going to repeat this day forever?
It'd be abnormal to be able to stay sane in this school.
Let's find the boss monster as soon as possible and take them down.
Find them? But how?
The three of you over there. What are you doing?
[♪ theme music playing]
Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
Usukubo, come to your senses!
Rooftop access is prohibited according to the school rules.
No way. I've already checked it.
The student handbook doesn't state that it's a violation of...
Wait, it's written here.
This rule wasn't written here before the reset...
[boss] Thank you for the report on the delinquents, Usukubo.
You're welcome, Principal.
[gasps]
[footsteps echoing]
[gasps]
[Hisui] You're...
With that said, you have all violated the school rules.
[bell chimes]
- Anyway, I heard there's a math test-- - That's the principal?
Wasn't he wearing a Green Squadron suit?
[Chidori] Could he be...
[Usukubo] Hisui!
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
Do you have a moment, young boy?
Let's talk for a while.
Principal's Office
So you're alive, Wakaba?
It's been a while, Junior First Rank Hisui.
Have your memories returned?
Yes.
It came back after I saw you on the rooftop.
What have I been doing this entire time?
You were part of the Magatia search team that went missing four years ago.
[Hisui] So you've been in this school?
What happened to the other members?
[Wakaba] I don't know.
Senior Second Rank Tokiwa too...
Before I knew it, I was here alone... [grunts]
My memories, again...
Wakaba!
[panting]
I believed that you'd come to save me.
[Chidori] Boss monsters have worn the skin of the humans they've killed
while hiding themselves in human society for a long time.
Magatia has likely disguised themselves as a human in this school.
Are you saying that Junior First Rank Hisui is in danger?
[Chidori] She's a kind person, after all.
Stay back.
I want to help you, but that doesn't mean I trust you.
No way. You're heartless!
"Those you trust your back with are the ones you should be most wary of."
Someone I respect said those words.
[Hisui] If your memories have returned, stay still here.
I'll help you...
if you really are Wakaba, that is!
[snickers]
[♪ intense music playing]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[pants]
Why are you so surprised? You should know.
[Wakaba] The Magatia search team led by Senior Second Rank Tokiwa
had gone missing with the Replica Divine Artifact in their possession!
Divine Artifact, Manifest!
Ookuninushi no Kami!
[Wakaba laughs]
So this is a Divine Artifact! Thanks for the wonderful gift!
[Hisui] Divine Artifact, Manifest!
That body belongs to my comrade.
I'll have you return it, boss monster Magatia!
[Wakaba] This room is under my control!
How long do you think you can hold out?
[Hisui] Boss monster Magatia,
I don't want to hear another word from that mouth!
[Hisui] Wakaba is earnest and competent.
He was a member with a promising future.
I'll take responsibility and bring him back.
That was close.
Ukemochi no Kami can eat things at a distance too?
I never knew about this!
On the contrary, I'm sure you know, right?
Just how strong this Divine Artifact, Ookuninushi no Kami, is!
[♪ intense music continues]
[Hisui] I know it very well.
The woman closest to becoming the next Green Keeper...
It's the Divine Artifact of Senior Second Rank Tokiwa.
[Hisui] I'll settle this right here.
I'm going to be the next Green Keeper!
Sure. Although I'm not sure if I'd be able to live up to your expectations.
[grunts] W-Wait! What's going on?
This Divine Artifact is unfair!
[chuckles]
[Hisui] I didn't lose!
Your Divine Artifact's strong, that's all!
[Wakaba laughs]
Now this is funny!
To the hell with Senior Second Rank.
To the hell with being the next Green Keeper!
That woman was powerful because of this Divine Artifact!
With this, anyone can become powerful!
She only became Senior Second Rank thanks to the Divine Artifac--
[Hisui] Shut up!
I can't stand listening to you anymore.
[gasps]
[Hisui] I said I don't want to hear another word from that mouth!
[Wakaba] Shit! The walls won't make it in time!
[laughs]
I thought I had a chance, but I guess this is it!
It's a violation--
Meals are supposed to be enjoyed together.
So shut up and eat!
[chokes]
- [gasps] - [student 1] Hisui?
How could you try to kill the principal?
[student 1] It's a violation of school rules!
[bell chimes]
[sighing heavily]
I barely made it.
[Wakaba] I'm glad I stationed a student there just in case.
[chuckles]
Divine Artifacts are so fascinating.
[Usukubo] Anyway, I heard there's a math test today.
Damn it! I was so close.
[grunts]
[student 2] Hisuicchi, are you okay?
Does your head hurt?
Want to go to the nurse's office together?
Get away from me!
Hisui, how could you inflict violence on your friends?
That's a school rules violation.
- [bell chimes] - [Usukubo] Anyway,
I heard there's a math test today.
[Chidori] What's wrong? You're not acting like your usual self.
[Hisui] You're right.
I'll go cool my head for a bit.
Is Hisui okay?
[student 2] Angelcchi.
Jeez, I told you not to call me that.
[laughs] Sorry, sorry.
By the way, Angelcchi, let me see your lesson notes later.
- What? Are you okay with mine? - Could you let me see it too?
- [student 2] It'd be a great help! - [student 3] Please!
I wanted to hear more about that principal from her.
We can try to investigate on our own,
but the school rules are getting in the way.
[tutting] This is so annoying!
[beeps, rumbles]
[Fighter D] Wait... This isn't good!
What are you doing?
It's not nice to take your anger out on objects.
I screwed up.
[Fighter D] Even I can tell.
This is a violation of school rules.
No littering Throw trash into the trashcan
What? We didn't get reset...
I see. So that's how it works.
[Chidori] No one saw you kicking it, young boy.
Misdeeds conducted out of sight are not a problem.
That's how schools function.
What are you doing?
Well, my job requires me to act out of sight and behind the scenes.
It's finally time to reveal my seven tools of the trade as an informant.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
The Greed Eye!
[Fighter D] What's up with those goggles?
It's the Greed Eye!
[Chidori] My intelligence gathering is not restricted by any school rules.
What?
[Chidori] I'll dig deeper into that principal.
[speaker chimes]
[teacher] Hibiki Sakurama from Class 2-1, come to the teachers' room right now.
Looks like they're making their move too.
[Fighter D] Man, I don't really feel motivated now.
I could care less about whatever happens to the surface-dwellers trapped here, too.
I just want to fight the boss monster already.
[Fighter D] Junior First Rank Hisui.
I heard the announcement.
Just what did you do?
I don't know,
but for now, I've decided to go along with the enemy's plan.
I see. Be careful.
Sure...
[Fighter D] I thought she would be the first to charge in.
Damn it.
Teachers' Room
[Usukubo] Please excuse me.
Oh, it's you, Sakurama.
You were called to the teachers' room, right?
Yes.
What's wrong?
How's life in this school?
Well... I'm surrounded by many friends,
and I can't believe that someone like me can live my life laughing every day.
Today, I called my father.
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.
I'm having fun, Sakurama.
[speaker chimes]
[teacher] Hibiki Sakurama from Class 2-1, come to the teachers' room right now.
[Fighter D] Pardon the intrusion.
You came alone? I applaud your courage.
You were the one who called me, Mr. Gatou?
Sakurama, do you think you can fit in at this school?
What? Let's see...
The students here smile all the time,
and it feels as if I would be able to enjoy a wonderful school life here.
Man, this place is truly...
a shitty place, yeah?
[Gatou] What a shame, Sakurama.
If you were willing to adapt to this school,
we would have been willing to accept you.
Due to security reasons in school,
you will be expelled.
Security, my foot.
I'll bring an end to this creepy place right now!
Drawing a sword within school grounds is prohibited according to the school rules.
So what? Are you resetting everything because I broke the school rules?
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
Wh-Wh-Wh-Whoa...
I won't do that.
It didn't seem like you would fit in at school
even if we repeat this day over and over.
[Gatou] Put away that sword!
Your comrades who arrived with you
are starting to fit into Lord Magatia's world.
So how are you able to remain the same?
Hey, you sound like you know the deets.
I'll make you spit out everything you know about the boss monster!
[Gatou] The duty of a teacher includes
eliminating delinquents who may have a negative influence on other students.
If words don't get through to you,
then you need corporal punishment.
[gasps]
[Gatou] What was that sensation?
What?
What's your problem? Stop staring at me.
Is this your first time seeing a student with reconstructive abilities?
A monster.
That appearance. Are you a fighter?
The name's Fighter D.
Now it makes sense why you didn't fit in at this school.
Since you're not a human,
you have no memories of attending school in the first place.
What? Are you talking about my school credentials?
Sorry, but I've never graduated--
[shrieks]
- [♪ cheeky music playing]
[shrieks]
- [Fighter D shrieks] - [panting]
[laughs]
Unless it's a Divine Artifact--
I understand that you're immortal.
In that case, I'll try neutralizing you.
You bastard.
Teachers' Room
[♪ tense music playing]
[Gatou] This is getting nowhere.
Let me out! [grunts, strains]
I'll let you out.
Out of this school, that is.
In return, do not involve yourself with this school ever again.
[Fighter D] I knew it, you're not brainwashed.
Why would a surface-dweller help a boss monster out of their own free will?
[Gatou] I could ask the same of you.
[Fighter D] I'm different!
I'm just pretending to help the Ranger Force.
I'm glad to hear that.
After all, the Ranger Force, who's trying to resolve the vanishing incidents,
- is in the wrong. - Huh?
The students here...
these students who have been spirited away
chose to stay in this school of their own free will.
[Gatou] This is a utopia, the school of our dreams.
What? You wanted this? I don't get it.
I'm tired of fighting every single day.
[♪ somber music playing]
[Gatou] Just pretend you didn't see this.
Especially as a monster, it shouldn't matter to you...
whatever happens to humans.
[explosion]
[Fighter D] Yeah, you're right.
I won't side with anyone.
Not with the Ranger Force, nor you guys!
[grunts]
[chortles]
I can't let the school building get destroyed any further!
[♪ tense music playing]
[Gatou] As a fighter, you're unfit to use this weapon.
I'm confiscating it.
That's mine.
Give it back, you...
[♪ tense music continues]
Wh... What's going on?
[Gatou] Bow your head.
[Gatou] The lord has graced us with his presence!
[footsteps echoing]
Good morning.
[Magatia] You, Fighter...
Why are you still being so stubborn?
Fair and square world domination is not in style anymore,
so let's just have fun and enjoy ourselves.
[Fighter D] Ma... Magatia!
He disappeared?
Where did that bastard go?
I... I'm back.
[♪ ominous music playing]
[teacher 1] Now then, everyone.
Shall we have lunch?
[kindergartners] Okay!
What's wrong?
Teacher, that thing...
[kindergartner] It's eating Mr. Elephant.
[gulps]
[signal beeps]
[operator] We have received reports of a kaiju assault in Amanogawa Central Zoo.
[Beni] Inform the Red Keeper.
Let him know that an emergency has occurred!
Red Keeper Appreciation Event
[camera shutter clicking]
Emergency Red Squadron
[Red Keeper] The Ranger Force will continue to fight for justice.
[crowd applauds]
[crowd clamoring, screaming]
- [stomping] - [growls, roars]
[Red Keeper] I will protect helpless humans,
even at the cost of my life!
Because that's what heroes do!
[growls]
[♪ closing theme music playing]

[Hwalipon] What? What do you need?
That's so sloppy! My stomach hurts.
[Hwalipon] A stomachache, huh? You sure you're not just gassy?
[Sakurama] O-Ouch, it hurts!
[both] Next episode, "Make Our Dreams Come True, Ranger Force."
[Sakurama] Doctor! Doctor!
[Hwalipon] Wait! I only have one of these, so don't destroy it!
