Psyren (2026) s01e03 Episode Script
PSI
1
Do you know the legend?
I heard something wild about payphones.
If you answer the call,
you'll be taken to paradise.
For real?
Payphones are such a vibe.
Do they still have those?
I learned how to use them in grade school.
I saw that on TV.
People have already disappeared.
Episode 3
PSI
Shit. My vision's getting blurry.
My ribs scream if I so much
as take a deep breath.
What?!
Agro.
No way
I can't move.
Amamiya?
What are you thinking? Do you want to die?
I'll buy time for you. Run.
Rise.
I won't last long. Get up!
Hurry
Don't worry about me! Get out of here!
I can't believe this is the end.
Graham?
We're going to survive.
Yoshina!
Graham.
Try it!
Gosh, sorry about that.
Looks like I chose the right target.
You asshole!
Yoshina!
What the hell are those guys?
I'm exhausted.
Yeah, what's going on?
Killer monsters, a girl who stops
crossbow bolts barehanded
and to top it off, this guy's
name is Yoshina? It can't be.
What are those monsters, Amamiya?
The Tavoo. That's what
everyone calls them.
There are all kinds of them
wandering this world.
I don't know where they came from
or what they want.
What else? I want all the details.
Later. We're not safe here.
This payphone is the goal. It's the gate.
Wow, it really exists!
Yahoo, the goal! We did it!
You're okay with me going first, right?
Damn, he's annoying.
Whoa, it's really here.
I did it. This is the gate, huh?
You're alive?
I've been sneaking around behind you
ever since I rolled down that cliff.
Looked like you had a rough time.
Don't let it get to you, kid.
That injured brat would've died
either way. Was only a matter of time.
Why, you
Don't.
You can fight later. Get out
your telephone cards, everyone.
Now we can return to our world.
Follow me.

Wh-Where are we?
Back in our world.
We're back?
We really are!
I'm back, baby!
Don't look so grim, Amamiya.
Smile.
You'll get constipated
if you scowl all the time.
You're so crude and insensitive.
But you can be kind and caring, too.
Yeah, there you go.
Where are we?
Ow
Are we back?
There's something about this place.
We're back, but there's
something nagging at me.
Oh, right. It looks kinda similar—
or rather, identical
to where we just were.
Except the building and the stuff
in it look brand new by comparison.
We're back in the present day.
Say what?
We just returned from the future.
The future? That was our world's future?
Yes, assuming I haven't lost my mind.
I'm going to call for help.
The future? You can't expect me
to believe that.
Amamiya?
Matsuri-sensei
Calling
Damn! Wake up!
We need to get her to a doctor!
Whatever. This ain't my problem anymore.
I'm outta here.
Matsuri-sensei
Is that you, Sakurako? Sakurako!
You're back from Psyren, aren't you?
Are you okay? Answer me!
Hello? Do you know Amamiya?
You know about Psyren?
Who are you?
I'm Yoshina, her classmate.
Amamiya's in bad shape.
Her nose won't stop bleeding.
She overused her PSI.
PSI? What's that?
Listen, she needs special treatment.
I'll come get her now.
If you want to see her
well again, wait for me.
She wants us to wait here?
Are you sure we shouldn't
be taking her to a doctor?
The woman on the phone
knew about Psyren, so
That bike's out of control!
That's gotta cause some serious damage!
I'm here for Amamiya Sakurako.
You're the woman who was on the phone.
Are you okay, Sakurako?
You're as reckless as ever,
Matsuri-sensei.
Amamiya, you're awake!
Good. I was worried,
since I hadn't heard from you.
Let's go. You need treatment ASAP.
Wait! Where are you taking Amamiya?
Don't worry. With treatment,
she'll get better right away.
You did well to survive.
You were chosen by Nemesis Q
to wander the world of Psyren.
You're Psyren Drifters.
Psyren Drifters?
Rest and get ready for
the next call from Nemesis Q.
You'll be transported to the world
of Psyren once again.
We're going back there?
A word of warning.
Be careful who you tell about Psyren,
including your family.
What do you mean?
Sorry, but I don't have time
for questions. Later.
Wait!
Who are you?
I'm not letting you take
Amamiya until you tell me.
Move.
Hell no.
You're one spirited kid.
Stop me if you can, boy.
Wh-What was that?
Yoshina, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
Amamiya.
Later.
Who was that woman?
Wait.
You're Ageha, right? Yoshina Ageha.
What the hell is it to you?
Shirataki Grade School One, class 5-2,
Yoshina Ageha and Amamiya Sakurako.
It's been about four and a half years.
You don't recognize me? It's Hiryu.
We spent half a year
together in fifth grade.
I'm Asaga Hiryu.
Asaga Hiryu?
What?!
You're Hiryu? That wimpy shrimp?
Who spent half his life crying?
That Hiryu?
Yeah, that Hiryu.
It's been a while, Ageha.
No way!
Anyway, Amamiya seems way
different from how I remember.
Look who's talking!
Oh, right. Yoshina, there's something
I've always wanted to say to you.
Smell ya later, shrimp.
Drink more milk while you're at it.
I'm not Hiryu the crybaby anymore.
Remember that, Yoshina Ageha.
What a crazy day.
I'm lucky my sister's working late today.
My eyes are bloodshot as hell.
Wh-What the hell is this?
What is this? Am I dying?
I'm not dead.
Hey.
I wanted to confirm that what
happened yesterday was real.
I was thinking the same thing.
The future, huh? Do you believe that?
If what Amamiya said is true,
then our world
Japan is destined for ruin.
We'll know once Amamiya's back.
Hey, Ageha. I heard they found Amamiya.
Yeah, apparently.
Oh? You don't sound too surprised, Ageha.
After just one day, I have so many
things I can't tell Saka and Hiroki.
Yoshina Ageha, can you hear me?
Wh-What was that voice?
Yoshina.
That's Amamiya's voice.
I'll be waiting at the park with
the observation deck near school.
Over and out.
What's up, Ageha?
I'm leaving.
What?!
I communicated with you, Yoshina Ageha.
Telepathically.
I acquired a Psyren telephone card
over six months ago.
Last winter, I got sick of everything
and ran away to Osaka.
There was a payphone by the road.
I met Nemesis Q there.
I've traveled to that world
several times since then.
What even is Psyren?
Let's go.
Go where?
On a date.
A d-date?
Today's Show
In Shizuoka
What's going on? There's nobody here.
Today's show isn't until the evening.
This is where we're spending our date?
I guess it's better than
the world of Psyren.
All I could do there
was cry, hide, and run.
She taught me what I needed to survive.
Who?
My PSI teacher, Yagumo Matsuri.
Matsuri?
I don't know anything about classical
music, nor am I interested in it.
But this
Are you listening, Sakurako?
This concert's just for you
for making it back alive!
You're always amazing, Matsuri-sensei!
Aren't I? I am amazing!
This voice
Huh? I've heard it before.
And how are you doing, spirited kid?
You're one spirited kid.
You!
A piano concert just for Amamiya.
You're amazing, Sensei.
Over there, I saw so many things
I'd never seen before.
Classical music's not so bad either.
You haven't heard of her?
Yagumo Matsuri is
a world-renowned pianist.
Really?
Why is she so cheery?
Thanks for waiting.
Matsuri-sensei!
That wild biker is a
world-renowned pianist?
Yoshina, right?
Hello.
You're not bad in the looks department,
but you're a bit short.
Hey.
You guys are just too tall!
Seriously? I skipped school to be here
because you told me to come.
Okay, okay.
Everyone's here now.
Let's head to the roof
where no one will bother us.
Hold it right there!
I found you, Yagumo-san!
You have two magazine interviews
and one poster shoot today!
I told you your schedule is packed!
Why do you always go wandering off?
It's Kikuchi, the monster manager
who's always tying me down!
I'm Kikuchi, the perfectly
ordinary manager!
You're so annoying. Go away.
And shut up already.
Who is she?
Yagumo Matsuri?
I can't believe that wild biker
was Yagumo Matsuri the pianist.
She's just a ridiculous giantess.
May I have your attention, please?
It's time to tell you about Psyren.
I'm an ex-Psyren Drifter.
Someone who beat Nemesis Q's game.
An ex-Psyren Drifter?
You beat the game?
That's right. My card's balance
reached zero, so I beat the game.
Nemesis Q will never call me again.
What is that world, then? What is Psyren?
Don't be hasty.
The answer to that question
is on the cards themselves.
Get your cards out.
Hold your card over your forehead.
I see a number.
Forty-eight Is this our card balance?
Read the back.
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
Welcome to Psyren
You are a Psyren Drifter, a participant in the game.
Psyren Drifters are those who have taken
the interview and entered contracts
with Nemesis Q
Wh-What is this?
These cards have hidden information
that's only revealed to those
who survive their first game.
"You are a Psyren Drifter,
a participant in the game."
"Psyren Drifters are those who have
entered contracts with Nemesis Q."
"The game will continue until your
card's balance reaches zero."
"Do not tell anyone except other Drifters
about Psyren or that you are a Drifter."
"Towers are dangerous and
should be avoided by the weak."
Screw this. If we'd known
all this from the start
The answer to your question
is written at the bottom.
Good luck to you, the Drifters, in your journey across time
with Nemesis Q to change the future.
"Good luck to you, the Drifters, in your
journey across time with Nemesis Q"
"to change the future."
change the future
If that's really the future,
what happened?
What made Japan turn out that way?
I don't know. That's why I'm trying
to figure out the answer, too.
How did the world get
destroyed in the future?
When? Why? What happened to Japan?
That's what we must determine.
I first visited Psyren over two years ago.
I traveled between that world
and the present multiple times
to survive and uncover
that world's secrets.
One of its mysteries is the Tavoo.
Where did those monsters come from?
I don't know, but the world's destruction
and the appearance of those
savage and mysterious beings
must be related somehow.
Somebody created them.
Created them?
The person, organization, or whatever
else that made them is in Psyren.
I've decided to work with Matsuri-sensei
to reach the heart of Psyren's secrets
and find the cause of the world's ruin.
Right, Sensei?
Sakurako.
Amamiya
I have some more questions.
I had a 40-degree fever the night I got
back, and my nose kept pouring blood.
What was that about?
You, too? I thought I was gonna die.
That's a sign you've been infected
by Psyren's atmosphere.
What?
Infected?
You both had the potential.
Your powers have awakened.
You mean that PSI thing
you and Amamiya mentioned?
Correct. People possess
dormant powers called PSI.
Psyren's polluted atmosphere awakens
the dormant power within your brain.
It's our greatest weapon
against the Tavoo.
Starting today,
you're going to hone yours.
Get as strong as you can
before your next fight.
