WEBVTT
00:13.210 --> 00:15.880
Wh-What's going on here?
00:15.880 --> 00:17.510
I-I don't know.
00:17.510 --> 00:20.720
I've never seen an event like this.
00:20.720 --> 00:24.980
The city of Ted is on fire?!
01:57.820 --> 02:01.110
"Chance of Survival 0.1%"
02:10.460 --> 02:11.580
Run!
02:11.580 --> 02:13.330
Hurry!
02:13.710 --> 02:17.130
Wh-What?
02:17.130 --> 02:19.420
What's wrong? What happened?
02:19.420 --> 02:22.220
Shut up! Outta my way!
02:27.100 --> 02:29.020
Excuse me! Could you tell me what--
02:29.020 --> 02:31.140
Get out of my way!
02:33.230 --> 02:36.190
Someone tell me what's happening!
02:36.190 --> 02:39.570
This is what happens in a panic.
02:39.570 --> 02:44.410
Everyone's looking out for themselves. They
won't stop to explain everything to you.
02:44.410 --> 02:46.330
But this is a game!
02:46.330 --> 02:51.000
Look. Let's ask the blacksmith
while he fixes your sword.
02:53.580 --> 02:56.000
Pardon me, but
02:56.000 --> 02:57.590
my sword is rusted.
02:57.590 --> 02:59.420
Could you remove the rust?
02:59.420 --> 03:02.260
Are you stupid?
This ain't no time for that!
03:02.260 --> 03:07.140
Then could you just
explain what's going on?
03:07.140 --> 03:09.060
Are you asking for real?
03:09.060 --> 03:10.770
Well...
03:10.770 --> 03:13.060
The damn goblins attacked!
03:13.060 --> 03:14.810
The goblins?
03:14.810 --> 03:19.690
But isn't this city surrounded by
a moat so the goblins can't get in?
03:19.690 --> 03:22.030
Yes. It's supposed to be.
03:22.030 --> 03:26.370
The biggest drought in
50 years dried up the moat!
03:26.370 --> 03:29.580
So those things took
the opportunity to attack!
03:29.580 --> 03:33.870
A goblin assault.
I never knew that could happen.
03:33.870 --> 03:37.920
So I'll finally get to fight a monster!
03:37.920 --> 03:41.340
Um, could you remove the rust after all?
03:41.340 --> 03:44.380
Weren't you listening? Ain't no time!
03:44.380 --> 03:48.260
If you remove the rust,
I can fight the goblins!
03:48.260 --> 03:51.810
Not my problem! It's your fault
for neglecting your blade!
03:51.810 --> 03:55.440
But it was rusted when I got it!
03:55.440 --> 03:58.770
It wasn't your sword? Where'd you find it?
03:58.770 --> 03:59.900
My room.
03:59.900 --> 04:01.690
Are you screwing with me?!
04:01.690 --> 04:04.190
Argh! I've wasted
enough time on this idiot!
04:04.190 --> 04:07.910
There's a whetstone right there!
Do it yourself!
04:07.910 --> 04:10.280
Um... how do I do it?
04:10.280 --> 04:15.790
Scrape the whetstone from the
hilt to the tip of the sword! Idiot!
04:16.920 --> 04:20.380
Scrape it with the whetstone?
04:23.760 --> 04:26.090
L-Like this?
04:35.230 --> 04:37.730
This rust is pretty tough.
04:37.730 --> 04:38.730
Run!
04:38.730 --> 04:39.650
This way!
04:39.650 --> 04:41.940
Go, go!
04:41.940 --> 04:42.820
Hurry!
04:42.820 --> 04:43.690
They're here!
04:43.690 --> 04:46.450
It's a goblin!
04:46.450 --> 04:47.450
Help!
04:47.450 --> 04:49.660
Please!
04:49.660 --> 04:51.990
Screw it!
04:51.990 --> 04:54.160
Wh-What's wrong, Hiro?
04:54.160 --> 04:55.580
What isn't wrong?
04:55.580 --> 04:57.250
What kind of RPG protagonist stands by
04:57.250 --> 05:01.080
just going scrape, scrape, scrape
while the town is attacked?
05:01.080 --> 05:04.760
But you need to remove
the rust to use the sword.
05:04.760 --> 05:06.880
It'll still do as a club!
05:06.880 --> 05:08.470
St-St-Stop!
05:08.470 --> 05:09.840
Absolutely not!
05:09.840 --> 05:11.850
Goblins have ogre-like strength!
05:11.850 --> 05:13.720
Even though they're smaller.
05:13.720 --> 05:15.720
R-Reona?
05:15.720 --> 05:17.890
You have no chance of winning!
05:17.890 --> 05:20.190
You're 120% sure to die!
05:20.190 --> 05:22.860
B-But the townspeople!
05:22.860 --> 05:25.530
Hiro, stay calm and listen.
05:25.530 --> 05:28.070
I need to tell you something.
05:28.070 --> 05:34.080
If you die in Kiwame Quest,
something terrible will happen to you.
05:34.080 --> 05:36.700
C-Come to think of it...
05:36.700 --> 05:40.620
I don't know what happens if I die!
05:40.620 --> 05:42.000
D-Don't tell me...
05:42.000 --> 05:44.340
If I die in the game...
05:46.000 --> 05:48.340
...do I die in real life, too?
05:48.340 --> 05:50.720
You read too much manga!
05:50.720 --> 05:53.390
The game does pursue ultimate realism,
05:53.390 --> 05:57.220
but that whole death game
thing is just ridiculous!
05:57.220 --> 06:00.100
Th-Then what is it?
06:00.100 --> 06:01.310
You break something.
06:01.310 --> 06:02.980
Break something?
06:02.980 --> 06:04.900
Like a part of my body?
06:04.900 --> 06:10.030
No, what I mean is,
if you die while playing KQ...
06:12.200 --> 06:14.240
Bam!
06:14.240 --> 06:16.740
...both your console and your game break!
06:16.740 --> 06:18.790
What?
06:18.790 --> 06:20.910
Not just the game but the console, too?!
06:20.910 --> 06:21.790
That's right!
06:21.790 --> 06:23.580
What the hell?!
06:23.580 --> 06:28.170
Seriously, how did that design
not become a huge problem?
06:28.170 --> 06:32.180
Hiro, I'm sure you
already had an inkling, but
06:32.180 --> 06:35.180
this is the ultimate shitty game.
06:36.680 --> 06:37.810
Reona...
06:37.810 --> 06:40.100
you finally acknowledged it.
06:40.100 --> 06:42.770
If the player dies, the console dies, too.
06:42.770 --> 06:48.610
Over the past ten years, many users have
filed lawsuits over the death system.
06:48.610 --> 06:51.610
"Techno Mosuke Inc."
"Suing a Game Company?"
06:48.610 --> 06:51.610
Though the company apparently
used its massive power and wealth
06:51.610 --> 06:53.990
"Techno Mosuke Inc."
"Suing a Game Company?"
06:51.610 --> 06:53.990
to quash any problems.
06:53.990 --> 06:54.740
to quash any problems.
06:54.740 --> 06:59.410
The outcry even extended to retail stores,
which were flooded with claims.
06:59.410 --> 07:00.120
"Returned"
06:59.410 --> 07:00.120
The outcry even extended to retail stores,
which were flooded with claims.
07:00.120 --> 07:03.370
"Returned"
07:00.120 --> 07:03.370
Furthermore, various other
problems were manifest,
07:03.370 --> 07:03.830
Furthermore, various other
problems were manifest,
07:03.830 --> 07:11.420
so soon after release, KQ was buried as a
next-level supremely shitty full-dive RPG.
07:12.630 --> 07:16.890
Now you get why you'd have to pay
someone to take it off your hands, right?
07:16.890 --> 07:20.020
Then why did you
sell it to me at list price?
07:20.020 --> 07:21.730
Anyway,
07:21.730 --> 07:24.020
let's log out for now.
07:24.020 --> 07:25.060
Huh?
07:25.060 --> 07:30.190
It's not very good to rely on game guides,
but goblins are crazy strong.
07:30.190 --> 07:33.070
Let's take a look at
the Auberdine Walkthrough.
07:33.070 --> 07:34.240
Ahuh...
07:34.240 --> 07:36.450
Now then, triple tap.
07:37.910 --> 07:39.450
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
07:39.790 --> 07:42.910
Thank goodness.
It's still possible to save.
07:42.910 --> 07:44.410
Okay, let's bail.
07:44.410 --> 07:46.750
U-Um, just one peek!
07:46.750 --> 07:50.670
Can I just take one
little peek at a goblin?
07:50.670 --> 07:53.670
Fine. But just a quick look.
07:53.670 --> 07:55.630
Thanks!
08:07.810 --> 08:10.190
I-It's so realistic!
08:10.190 --> 08:12.150
You could think it's
a newly discovered animal!
08:12.150 --> 08:14.780
Hey, not so loud!
08:14.780 --> 08:18.780
Oh, man! I can't wait
to battle this thing!
08:23.950 --> 08:27.170
Mommy!
08:28.210 --> 08:29.880
Reona! A little girl!
08:29.880 --> 08:32.340
W-Wait, Hiro!
08:34.010 --> 08:35.920
You'll die if you fight it!
08:35.920 --> 08:38.590
Is that what you want?
The console list price is 100,000 yen!
08:38.590 --> 08:41.600
FYI, I sell it for 129,800 yen!
08:41.600 --> 08:43.390
That's highway robbery!
08:43.390 --> 08:46.640
If my console does break,
no way am I buying from you!
08:46.640 --> 08:49.020
Anyway, let's approach this rationally!
08:49.020 --> 08:54.900
The girl is only an NPC! She's just a
software simulation of human intellect!
08:54.900 --> 08:58.530
Don't put it so coldly!
08:58.530 --> 09:02.120
She looks just like a little girl!
09:02.120 --> 09:04.330
Besides...
09:06.410 --> 09:08.370
Never again.
09:08.370 --> 09:10.130
Just because it's an NPC,
09:10.130 --> 09:13.590
I can't just let a person die
or be killed in front of me.
09:13.590 --> 09:17.300
I don't want any more death.
09:17.300 --> 09:19.840
H-Hiro...
09:23.010 --> 09:25.180
Are you...
09:25.180 --> 09:26.480
a lolicon?
09:26.480 --> 09:28.100
Seriously?! No!
09:28.100 --> 09:30.770
Oh, look!
09:30.770 --> 09:34.570
It's the Guard! The City Guard is here!
09:34.570 --> 09:36.570
Damned monster!
09:36.570 --> 09:39.490
Stay back or we'll chop you up!
09:56.420 --> 09:58.880
Y-You bastard!
10:05.850 --> 10:08.140
Take th--
10:14.560 --> 10:16.480
Wh-What the hell?!
10:16.480 --> 10:20.900
Also, I just said no more death,
and two people immediately died!
10:20.900 --> 10:24.700
Do you get how fearsome goblins are now?
10:24.700 --> 10:28.120
That's the first monster you fight?
10:28.120 --> 10:34.500
Nearly all players who managed to
leave Ted avoided fighting the goblins.
10:34.500 --> 10:36.800
O-Oh, I see.
10:36.800 --> 10:40.510
But can I do that in this situation?
10:50.980 --> 10:55.650
H-Have any players ever defeated a goblin?
10:55.650 --> 10:59.610
To my knowledge, just two:
Kamui and SHOW HEY.
10:59.610 --> 11:03.740
I know about Kamui,
but who's this SHOW HEY?
11:03.740 --> 11:09.290
Shouhei Aida. In real life he became the
Oriental and Pacific Boxing Champion.
11:09.290 --> 11:10.120
Say what?
11:10.120 --> 11:14.460
When asked in an interview to name
the strongest boxer he'd ever faced,
11:14.460 --> 11:16.380
"Definitely goblins"
11:16.380 --> 11:17.790
was supposedly his answer!
11:17.790 --> 11:20.210
Come on! Goblins aren't boxers!
11:20.210 --> 11:22.420
A-Anyway, I'm gonna save them!
11:22.420 --> 11:24.890
Are you serious? Do you wanna die?
11:24.890 --> 11:27.350
I'll find a moment to help them escape!
11:27.350 --> 11:29.970
I think that might be doable!
11:31.180 --> 11:34.900
Man, Hiro. Where's all
this fire coming from?
11:34.900 --> 11:40.860
Fine. If you do die and ruin your console,
I'll give you a discount--105,000 yen.
11:40.860 --> 11:43.860
The discount price is
still above list price...
11:43.860 --> 11:46.240
But first...
11:47.910 --> 11:50.580
The blacksmith left those behind.
11:50.580 --> 11:52.370
Let's change those pants.
11:52.370 --> 11:55.290
That old dude's pants?
11:55.290 --> 11:56.830
Don't like the idea of that.
11:56.830 --> 12:00.500
Would you rather go out
there reeking of ammonia?
12:00.500 --> 12:03.420
I-Isn't time of the essence?
12:03.420 --> 12:05.340
Do it right now! Put them on!
12:05.340 --> 12:09.260
I'm sick of the smell!
You've reeked this whole time!
12:18.980 --> 12:22.650
Mommy! Help me!
12:30.700 --> 12:34.250
I'm invisible, so I'll distract him.
12:34.250 --> 12:37.750
You use that time to save the girl.
12:37.750 --> 12:39.420
G-Got it.
12:39.420 --> 12:42.590
We can at least save the girl.
12:42.590 --> 12:44.630
There was nothing we could do.
12:44.630 --> 12:47.760
Don't dwell on it.
12:47.760 --> 12:51.510
Maybe if we hadn't
stopped to change pants...
12:51.510 --> 12:52.810
No! Focus!
12:52.810 --> 12:55.810
Focus on saving the girl!
12:55.810 --> 12:57.850
Okay. Here I go!
13:05.320 --> 13:07.990
Take this!
13:10.990 --> 13:12.910
Now!
13:17.540 --> 13:19.370
Come on!
13:20.790 --> 13:23.340
All right! It worked!
13:29.300 --> 13:32.050
Th-There were two?!
13:35.350 --> 13:37.940
I-It's all over.
13:41.230 --> 13:44.110
Who was I kidding?
13:44.110 --> 13:46.190
Are you okay?
13:48.280 --> 13:50.280
Kaede?
13:57.000 --> 13:57.870
Run!
13:57.870 --> 13:58.960
What?
13:58.960 --> 14:01.080
Listen, you have to run!
14:04.380 --> 14:06.880
I'm right here! Go after me!
14:11.430 --> 14:13.350
Bastard!
14:31.530 --> 14:36.240
C-Come on!
15:02.690 --> 15:04.480
Wh-What just happened?
15:04.480 --> 15:06.360
That was amazing, Hiro!
15:06.360 --> 15:09.190
That was pro athlete-level dashing!
15:09.190 --> 15:14.620
I-I'm not sure how I did it.
Though I've always been a fast runner.
15:14.620 --> 15:17.580
Was it the power of adrenaline?
15:17.580 --> 15:19.580
But I'm in the game world.
15:19.580 --> 15:22.870
So was it a bug in the game?
15:27.960 --> 15:33.180
Despite my display,
the situation hasn't changed at all.
15:33.180 --> 15:35.720
I guess this is it.
15:37.890 --> 15:40.390
No, we're saved!
15:50.400 --> 15:52.440
Tesla!
15:52.440 --> 15:54.150
Hiro, are you all right?
15:54.150 --> 15:56.780
Yeah, but...
16:00.330 --> 16:04.040
Lightning Extreme!
16:12.840 --> 16:15.260
I-Incredible!
16:15.260 --> 16:19.970
Possessing superhuman agility due
to natural talent and intensive training,
16:19.970 --> 16:21.970
he's the strongest Guardsman in Ted!
16:21.970 --> 16:24.850
Tesla Wolff Carmine!
16:24.850 --> 16:29.690
Also known as "Thundering Tesla," after
the lightning-like look of his gold armor.
16:29.690 --> 16:33.150
He's the strongest NPC
you meet in the early game.
16:33.150 --> 16:34.530
You've done your homework.
16:34.530 --> 16:36.570
Because he's pretty.
16:39.120 --> 16:40.830
The City Guard.
16:40.830 --> 16:44.000
Tesla, sir! Brilliantly done!
16:44.000 --> 16:48.580
Escort this girl to her home.
16:48.580 --> 16:52.090
The rest of you, start dealing
with the burning homes.
16:52.090 --> 16:54.170
Yes, sir!
16:54.170 --> 16:56.050
Let's get you home. dear.
16:56.050 --> 16:58.470
O-Okay.
17:02.220 --> 17:06.690
I actually feel a little
like an RPG hero now.
17:08.230 --> 17:10.560
Hero, a new title!
17:10.560 --> 17:15.530
It says, "Lolita Complex Best Friend
Killer: Amicide Who Likes Little Girls."
17:15.530 --> 17:17.240
What the hell?!
17:17.240 --> 17:21.620
Now, now. Looking at it
objectively, even I thought so.
17:21.620 --> 17:24.790
I thought, "I bet he
wants that girl to like him."
17:24.790 --> 17:27.410
What is wrong with you?!
17:27.410 --> 17:31.290
Ugh, you totally ruined the moment.
17:34.300 --> 17:40.090
Oh, shit! NPCs can't see Reona.
He'll think I'm crazy!
17:40.090 --> 17:44.260
Hiro, I see you're a warrior, too.
17:44.260 --> 17:45.640
E-Excuse me?
17:45.640 --> 17:52.110
Perhaps it's an insensitive request,
but I need as many warriors as I can get.
17:52.110 --> 17:53.820
W-Warrior?
17:53.820 --> 17:58.700
Hiro, you'd be well compensated.
It could even just be temporary.
17:58.700 --> 18:01.780
Would you join the
City Guard as a mercenary?
18:01.780 --> 18:04.490
A mercenary? An RPG classic!
18:04.490 --> 18:07.410
And I'd get to fight alongside Tesla?
18:07.410 --> 18:09.830
I will! I'd be glad to join!
18:09.830 --> 18:11.540
Thank you.
18:11.540 --> 18:14.420
H-Hey! Shouldn't you think about it more?
18:14.420 --> 18:18.630
It'll be fine! Near Tesla
is the safest place to be.
18:18.630 --> 18:21.180
Well, I suppose so...
18:21.180 --> 18:24.050
Then come with me when you're ready, Hiro.
18:24.050 --> 18:29.690
The City Guard training grounds are on
Queen Govern's estate. I'll guide you.
18:29.690 --> 18:31.140
Right. Yes.
18:31.140 --> 18:34.610
This feels like a save point
before a big event.
18:34.610 --> 18:37.280
This was enough for today, I think.
18:37.280 --> 18:38.650
I'll stop here, Reona.
18:38.650 --> 18:39.070
Oh, of course.
18:39.070 --> 18:40.860
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
18:39.070 --> 18:40.860
Oh, of course.
18:40.860 --> 18:41.570
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
18:40.860 --> 18:41.570
Look at the walkthr--
18:41.570 --> 18:43.200
Look at the walkthr--
18:46.830 --> 18:50.830
All right! It finally feels like a game!
18:55.750 --> 18:59.460
Hey, are you still
playing that shitty game?
18:59.460 --> 19:00.970
Yeah.
19:00.970 --> 19:02.680
How do you stand it?
19:02.680 --> 19:05.390
Yeah, there's a lot to gripe about.
19:05.390 --> 19:11.480
But get this. Supposedly, if you die,
the game breaks your console.
19:11.480 --> 19:15.650
Wait, what?! I don't
even know where to begin.
19:15.650 --> 19:17.900
Can you believe that?
19:17.900 --> 19:22.900
That's beyond the category
of shitty game. Like, hard pass.
19:22.900 --> 19:24.910
No kidding.
19:26.910 --> 19:28.620
Hiro.
19:28.620 --> 19:30.330
You seem happy.
19:30.330 --> 19:32.080
I-I do?
19:32.080 --> 19:38.420
Well, they say you complain
most about things you love.
19:38.420 --> 19:39.630
Love?
19:39.630 --> 19:42.880
I love KQ?
19:45.470 --> 19:47.640
A ridiculous level of extreme difficulty.
19:47.640 --> 19:50.430
Game over means the end of your console.
19:50.430 --> 19:54.270
That it's a shitty game
is an indisputable fact...
19:58.730 --> 20:01.740
Guess I'll play some KQ when I get home.
20:11.290 --> 20:13.750
All set.
20:13.750 --> 20:17.000
Maybe I should check first.
20:17.000 --> 20:17.170
"Auberdine Walkthrough"
20:17.000 --> 20:17.170
Maybe I should check first.
20:17.170 --> 20:18.790
"Auberdine Walkthrough"
20:17.170 --> 20:18.790
Hmm.
20:18.790 --> 20:19.540
"About the goblin assault"
20:18.790 --> 20:19.540
Hmm.
20:19.540 --> 20:20.750
"About the goblin assault"
20:20.750 --> 20:22.710
"About the goblin assault"
20:20.750 --> 20:22.710
Ah, here it is.
20:22.710 --> 20:22.920
"About the goblin assault"
20:26.050 --> 20:29.350
Hey, trash. You've really done it now.
20:29.350 --> 20:30.720
Huh?
20:30.720 --> 20:34.390
There are many ways to leave Ted.
20:34.390 --> 20:38.690
The typical route is to complete many
townspeople's requests, gain reputation,
20:38.690 --> 20:42.110
and thereby obtain Queen
Govern's permission to leave.
20:42.110 --> 20:45.820
It's a hassle but it's the surest way.
20:45.820 --> 20:48.160
Or you could flee the city
20:48.160 --> 20:52.080
and head for Flora Castle while
running from the goblins outside.
20:52.080 --> 20:57.370
This move is only available
to highly skilled martial artists.
20:57.370 --> 21:01.710
There are yet other methods,
but the worst is the goblin assault event.
21:01.710 --> 21:04.380
The options for leaving
the city are limited.
21:04.380 --> 21:08.180
I'll reveal them,
so be grateful, you dimwit!
21:08.180 --> 21:10.720
Just as infuriating as always.
21:10.720 --> 21:13.720
Option one: Fight with allies.
21:13.720 --> 21:17.350
Recommended if you can
get 100 total NPC and PCs.
21:17.350 --> 21:20.270
Though you'll never get
that many, you loner loser!
21:20.270 --> 21:23.190
Chance of survival: five percent.
21:23.190 --> 21:26.780
Option two: Hide from
the goblins for four days.
21:26.780 --> 21:29.870
You dig a hole under
some house and hide in it.
21:29.870 --> 21:32.330
But if you do, you'll never
be able to leave the city.
21:32.330 --> 21:34.410
Sucks to be you, mole bastard!
21:34.410 --> 21:37.040
Chance of survival: ten percent.
21:37.040 --> 21:41.710
Option three: Join the City Guard
as a merc and fight alongside Telsa.
21:41.710 --> 21:43.210
Here we go.
21:43.210 --> 21:46.420
Actually, this is the most awful option.
21:46.420 --> 21:48.090
Wha--?
21:48.090 --> 21:51.720
Even I, genius that I am,
find this option difficult.
21:51.720 --> 21:55.770
For a fat, stupid, dimwitted,
garbage turd like you, it's impossible.
21:55.770 --> 21:58.810
Chance of survival: 0.1 percent.
21:58.810 --> 22:00.650
Die!
22:00.650 --> 22:03.860
What?!
22:03.860 --> 22:09.320
Zero point one percent
chance of survival means...
22:09.320 --> 22:14.790
...99.9% chance to ruin my console!
23:46.210 --> 23:49.590
