Dead Account (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Emergency Exit
It's so dark and scary!
Oh, grow up.
You call yourself an exorcist?
Stick to the mission.
Find the interface
that's putting out the signal.
Sheesh. I wish we could get
more precision from the GPS.
What now?!
A b-body?!
Look! There!
That's probably the interface.
Glitch detected! Prepare for battle!
Sir!
A child ghost account?
Scanning now.
There's a match in the database
WARNING
EXTREME CLASS
Not good!

WARNING
Run, everyone!
It's Sad Boy—
Account name: "Sad Boy K."
Sad Boy K
No information is known about
who he was when he was alive.
He's the Society of Spirit Mediums'
most powerful enemy.
Additionally, Enishiro-kun
This is the ghost account
that killed your sister.
Five Hours after Fighting Kasubata
Blue fire?
His power is the onibi, or demon flame.
It's a cursed flame that steals
life force with just a touch.
Tears of blood
Just like Akari.
Wait a minute! Then
I've got the same power as
the guy who killed my sister?!
Why?!
I'd tell you if I knew.
I was using something that dangerous
in a slugfest with Kasubata?!
It's a good thing no one died, yeah!
Why didn't I die?
I guess it's like how blowfish
don't die from their own poison.
A-Anyway
This is all so much to take in.
I don't know which way is up.
I'm gonna go home and take
some time to sort through it all.
The hell you are, asshole.
Beg pardon. I didn't mean to curse.
Miden Academy
Class 1-B
Kasubata and
Who're they?!
The members of class 1-B.
They're my students and
your future classmates.
Get along, you guys!
So? You see the kind of company
you're in now?
Eh?
We're classmates now.
No one wants to work with a guy whose
flames could kill them with a touch.
But we also have to keep an eye on you.
Hey, I said to get along!
This whole situation is
a steaming pile of shit!
Beg pardon!
Okay, quite enough of that!
I'm Renri Hasumi.
Sorry, Kukuru's a great guy
once you get to know him.
"Kukuru"? You're allowed
to use his first name?
But you're not.
Kasubata's just upset that
you landed a hit on him!
I knew you could do it, Aoringo!
I'm Haijima!
H-Hey, Haiji—
The doll is talking!
I livestream games!
Let's do a collab sometime!
Can I get a selfie with you?
Uh
Here we go!
Three, two, one!
Assholes.
Nice one!
I can't believe they're just casually
interacting with a demon flame user.
R-Really?
One more!
This might just work out!
Anyway, let's get started
on your final test!
It's kinda hard to move
in this floppy thing.
You'll get used to it.
It looks great on you!
Lit!
What's that?
We'll be using it to test your abilities.
If you pass, we'll send you on
exorcism missions in the field.
The field?
You'll throw down with ghost accounts.
Meaning you'll come up
against K sooner or later.
Akari
Let's get started.
I'll do whatever it takes
if it means I can pulverize
that little shit ghost brat!
I like your attitude.
OU
OU
Allow me to introduce the Yumomi-kuns.
You need to beat one hundred of them!
That's the requirement to pass.
They're pseudo-spirits
created for training,
but don't underestimate them.
Could get you killed.
Cyber out.
I can do this!
They're nothing compared to Kasubata!
That's enough.
What the
What happened?
Take a look at your phone and you'll see.
My phone?
With cyberkinetic output,
your smartphone battery syncs
with your remaining spirit power.
Basically, you're out of spirit power.
Or rather
out of battery.
In short, this is a test of endurance.
Can you last long enough to beat 100?
Granted, Aori-chan, you were already
worn out from your battle with Kasubata!
I thought I'd let you experience
running out of juice first thing!
Okay, I understand that much.
But even so
This is totally a ryokan experience!
Take your seat and eat, Enishiro-kun.
The food's delicious!
Kukuru, want my konnyaku?
There's meat too!
Please.
So good! Nice to meat you!
Dining Spot
Yurameki-tei
Wait, is it night already?!
When your battery runs out,
you're down for at least five hours.
You'll be unresponsive to
all stimulation during that time.
Stimulation? How lewd!
In the field, if it doesn't get you killed,
it still drags your team down.
Learning to pace yourself
is a necessary skill.
No one likes a premature ejaculator.
How vulgar.
Man, I suck.
And here I thought I had it in the bag.
This was just a sign of how
powerful your cyberkinesis is.
Go on, eat!
The big test is in a week.
You'll only get one chance at it.
And if you fail
Let's just say you'll be
locked up and tortured.
What?!
Man, the whole school's been
buzzing since you showed up!
Plenty think you're in cahoots with K.
That demon flame has killed
lots of people, after all.
No small number of folks here
have it out for you.
Training starts tomorrow.
Have some food and go rest up.
Nothing beats sleep
for recovering spirit power.
Don't forget that, okay?
Good night!
Um, where's my room?
Are you insane?
I told you we have to keep an eye on you.
We're sharing a room?!
You'll find a towel, yukata, toothbrush,
and other supplies in that basket.
Don't use the big bath.
Use the shower in our room.
One wrong move and I'll smack you down.
Kasubata.
You're thinking,
"Why am I stuck with this lowlife?"
I feel the same way, asshole.
Beg pardon.
Please!
Train me!
Help me control my cyberkinesis
before the week is out!
Not what I expected from a flamebaiter.
Who bows so deeply to someone
who beat the hell out of them?
Have you no pride?
I don't give a damn about my pride!
I'm weak as shit, and you're strong!
That's all that matters!
How vulgar.
I was already planning on training you.
You mean it?!
Azaki-sensei's ordered me to.
Thanks! I'm so glad! I'll do my best!
Don't touch me.
Why me?
You should train him, Azaki-sensei!
You're the class rep, right?
It's up your alley.
Absolutely not!
You know why I hate flamebaiters!
You're doing this
to spite me, aren't you?!
I just think it'll go better this way.
For Enishiro-kun
and for you, too.
Have I ever lied to you?
Very well.
But the big test is still a week away.
If he gets scared and runs
beforehand, that's that.
My mouth hurts!
All flamebaiters are the same.
I can't sleep! It's only ten!
I'm a night owl!
And I slept a ton already!
Hey, can we have a pillow fight?
Shut up.
The Next Day
It's running down so damn fast!
You're leaving it on full blast.
Restrain it more.
Restrain it how?!
Spirit power is largely influenced
by your mental state.
Try to imagine something. Anything.
Picture constraining a fire.
Turning down a lighter.
Putting out a campfire.
Find imagery unique to you.
Once you do that,
you'll have better control.
Imagery unique to me
What could that be?
Opponents Beaten: 35
Day 2
Whew, all done!
You think they're still training?
You wanna go check on Aori-chan?
Y-You can't be serious.
C'mon, let's go.
W-Wait, I'm coming, too!
Down to half already!
The guy just awakened, right?
There's no way he can do this.
It took you about six months,
right, Haijima?
Shut your trap.
Opponents Beaten: 31
Don't just stuff your face with manju!
Day 3
I'm all caffeine'd up!
Why did you think that would help, dummy?
Opponents Beaten: 41
Day 4
Not bad.
His movements are more efficient.
He's really trying hard.
Opponents Beaten: 49
Imagery
Day 5
Hell yeah! Keep it up!
He's going at a good pace.
But his moves are way less efficient now!
Imagery unique to me
Opponents Beaten: 38
Day 6
You need to work harder
on your imagery, asshole!
Beg pardon.
I'm trying!
Isn't there something besides
the imagery I can work on?!
No!
Record: 44
He's doomed!
Aori-chan's in deep doo-doo.
Hey. You awake?
I screwed up again!
You're too focused on the
superficial aspect of the imagery.
It must be something
that feels tangible to you.
Something that permeates your whole body.
How am I supposed to manage that?!
Okay, consolation manju time.
Do you realize the situation you're in?
The big test is tomorrow.
You do know what will happen
if you fail, right?
I hope you didn't take that for a bluff.
They're seriously gonna kill you.
The people who don't want you here
are itching to dissect you alive.
They'll strip you down to your bones.
Bones?
H-Hey, Kasubata
I think I seriously need
to head home for a bit.
I knew it.
Flamebaiters are pieces of trash
riding from one thrill to the next.
I just remembered.
Akari's memorial photo and remains
are just sitting there at my place.
When you said "bones," it reminded me.
I never locked the front door!
Because you attacked me out of nowhere!
Did you happen to lock up for me?
Like hell I did!
What if some perv snuck in and took them?!
Akari looks so pretty in that picture!
Did you even hear me?
You might be the one who dies tomorrow.
Or is this all an excuse to run away?
Who says I'm running away?
Why the hell would I do that?
This is the only thing keeping me going.
Cyberkinetic Output Test - Official
It's that damned demon flame user.
He's terrifying.
But we'll be rid of him after this.
Are you ready?
OU
Begin the test!
Let's get this done!
Go, Aori-chan!
That's a big flame.
Damn it! Halfway gone already!
He thinks he can control the onibi
within a week of awakening?
That's like expecting
a newborn baby to walk.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Aori-chan!
Damn it!
Hang in there, newbie!
Yeah, Enishiro! Keep going!
Heck yeah!
Damn it!
What a worthless piece of shit you are!
All your bluster about becoming
the strongest feels so asinine now!
You flamebait bastards are all talk!
Wh-What are you doing, Kukuru?
You're a monster!
Go on and fail already,
flamebaiting bastard!
Stop making it worse!
Piece of shit flamebaiter!
Nobody wants you here!
You're scum!
Garbage!
Die!
Get out of our academy!
Looks like the stakes are pretty high.
Just fail already, loser!
This all feels beneath our dignity.
Drop dead! Get out of our sight!
Scum!
Get lost already!
Die!
DIE
GET LOS
Garbage!
LOSER
SCUM
M-Man, I've never had so many
people calling me names before.
When I first started flamebaiting,
it really freaked me out.
I was pulling in hate
from all over the world.
But
Akari!
When Akari started coughing up blood,
I realized I would never
face anything scarier.
I needed money. Enough to save Akari.
Suddenly, all the abuse
scrolling across my screen
looked like whimpering from stooges
who existed to help me to make money.
That was the moment I learned
the technique for turning down
the fire in my heart.
His flame got smaller!
He's restraining his output!
This can't be!
He found it!
The imagery unique to him!
Go!
Almost there!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
He cleared the output test!
The bastard really did it!
Great thinking, Kasubata-kun.
Turning the crowd against him
put him in the flamebaiter headspace.
That made it tangible to him and
brought out the imagery he needed.
They sure do make a fun pair!
I'll never accept this.
I'll never accept it!
OU
Yumomi-kuns! Maximum output!
Look out!
That wasn't enough.
This asshole.
I want to rage even more!
OU
The device stopped!
Over 160? Ain't that a new record
for an output test?
Title: "The Dance of the Blue Fool."
No, not up to my standard.
The real battle is coming up.
I'm so excited.
I wonder what chemical reaction
these two have in store for me!
"I didn't do it because
I wanted to," he says?
He's flamebait trash from head to toe.
I thought this was a school for exorcists.
We still gotta learn math and stuff?
It is a licensed school, after all.
I never thought I'd be doing
the high school thing again.
Feel free to ask if you need any help.
Thanks, um Hasumi.
Call me Renri.
Though the only one who actually calls him
that is Kasubata, his childhood friend.
Let me in on that action!
You too, Emo!
Let's get one with the four of us!
N-No, I don't like
having my picture taken.
I wonder what cyberkinesis
they all have.
I'm sure glad you didn't get tortured!
Yeah, I owe Kasubata for that one.
Oh, right. I never said anything, Kasubata.
Thanks again, officially.
Asshole.
What was with you yesterday?
You raged all over the place,
then ran out of battery and passed out.
Admit it, Enishiro. You're just
a garden-variety hooligan.
Th-That's not
It's obvious, isn't it?
Everyone with offensive cyberkinesis
has a terrible personality.
That includes you, Kasubata.
What a freakin' drag.
Another attack-type in my class.
C-C'mon, Urusugawa-san.
Let's get along.
Yeah, miss me with that crap.
Wait, Urusugawa. Take that back.
You'd lump me in with him?
Yeah, pretty much.
All you attackers are the same.
I'm nothing like him!
Enishiro is evil, while I am good!
I don't see any difference!
They're pretty much always like this.
You don't? How?!
I'm evil?
The fact that you don't see it is what
makes you so exhausting.
Man, it's so annoying.
How could you say that?!
Hey, kiddos! We got a mission
from the intelligence division.
There's a ghost account
acting up in the city.
This'll be your first mission,
Enishiro-kun.
A mission? So, like, real combat?
Who should I team you up with?
It won't just be me?
Of course not.
This is a battle between
monstrous specters and humans.
You can't go one-on-one for that.
Exorcism is about teamwork!
Teamwork?
That's an ironclad rule.
Teamwork?
You asshole. Beg pardon.
Yeah?!
You asshole. Beg pardon.
Yeah?!
You asshole. Beg pardon.
Yeah?!
You asshole. Beg pardon.
Yeah?!
Hey, they're at it again!
Anyway
I think I know who our team will be.
