Scum of the Brave (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

A Teacher for Braves

No money to carry into tomorrow, so hungry, getting hit hard
(Scum of the Brave)
Playing bossa nova and
earning my day-to-day cash
And the thugs
are running wild in the streets
I'm just standing here,
staring at you with my dead-looking eyes
There's not a single thing I can teach you
Yeah
Let's just keep surviving over and over,
making fools of ourselves
Since we're both not normal
You can't save with "I-love-you"
This town is sick
Gradually, watching carefully,
get through it all
That single moment in slow motion,
the battle's going good
You and me,
we're so arrogant and so uncute
Telling transparent lies
Do you want to be strong?
Want to be loved?
Stay quiet, you fool!
Too early to say the "last of us"
Today's day will soon be memorial
Gradually, watching carefully,
bite into it and hang on
Let's put on a poker face and go
Still the same, you and me,
we're so arrogant and so uncute
Telling transparent lies
You can't save with "I-love-you"
You can't save a single soul
Telling transparent lies
(#3 Instructor of the Brave)
Looks like my win.
With this, my southern empire will
prosper for about a thousand years.
So? Want to play again?
Don't get cocky, you asshole!
Next!
I finally saw the weaknesses
in my unit in this match!
That's what you always say, Yashiro.
So, what went down
with Lord Amber Thorn?
("Salt" Joe)
(Former Yakuza Brave)
Dunno.
Looks like his arm ain't growin' back.
He'll get handed over to the Academy
and end up in prison like normal.
Doesn't that pique your interest?
Huh?
The Lord Amber Thorn's
regenerative ability.
Perhaps that's a new kind
of enhancement surgery.
Cut it out, man.
Braves and Demon Kings.
Folks who have enhanced their ether
can heal up broken bones
or gunshot wounds in a few minutes,
but they can't grow back limbs
cut off from blood flow.
That's why we're still scrappin' with
old-school weapons like swords.
Thorn, that guy
He was actin' like I'm some
organization's lil' errand boy.
He brought up "that drug" too.
Oh?
If magic drugs can pull such a feat,
that would be a big deal.
Shouldn't we look into it?
Hell nah.
That ain't gonna print money.
You never know.
(Mutation) (Spell card:
Discard 1 card from your hand)
Real talk, though,
I had it rough, man.
Arms got snapped,
had to pop another E3 bottle to heal up.
I'm talking three in one night.
That's two months of rent
down the drain.
Ha! Keep poppin' 'em like that,
and you gon' be a junkie quick.
Shut up.
Isn't that good news, though?
At least you've secured a job for now.
What?
You sure you're not taking disciples?
Those girls are pretty cute.
Get off me, man!
They straight reek shady.
If they really hit school every day,
they should've learned from they teachers.
Personally, I'd take them on for
a hundred thousand yen a month each.
Sounds like fun.
You nasty-ass freak!
So what?
You actually turned them down?
That's what I've been sayin'.
Then explain that.
Sorry, but we're getting ready to close.
Yes, sir!
We will leave immediately!
We're here to give our thanks
and pay our respects!
I ain't need no empty thanks.
You got them 20 mils or what?
No, not yet!
But, I figure I should at least
hand you this month's tuition!
Go home!
It's okay!
All of us are prepared to undergo strict
training from you starting tomorrow!
Instructor Yashiro.
What?
My apologies.
You're really strong.
You're right.
I am strong.
So you either bounce,
or I'mma whoop your ass.
Does that mean we should
just fight you, Instructor?
If I do that, will I become strong?
All right, hold your horses.
Firstly
I owe you one.
You saved me, right?
Aki and Yukine as well.
Say
You're surprisingly easy to talk to
despite how you look.
Say what?!
Just that human language ain't gettin'
through to your two friends, is all.
Anyway, sorry to spring this on you
But we're on the verge of flunking out
of the academy right now.
You too?
Like hell I care!
Go ahead and fail or get expelled
or whatever!
But that's
Ah.
Here, this is from my father.
What?
(Father)
Sorry, but
(Father)
He said he at least wants to say thanks.
(Father)
He said he at least wants to say thanks.
Hello?
My apologies for calling you this late,
"Grim Reaper" Yashiro.
I was told that you saved
my daughter and her friends.
First, I would like
to express my gratitude
as a father for saving Sarah.
You playin'?
You mean "thank you", right?
Your manners are trash,
just like your daughter's.
Well, anybody dumpin' they kid in the
Academy ain't exactly parent of the year.
Wait, you didn't tell him? Well, anybody dumpin' they kid in the
Academy ain't exactly parent of the year.
What next, you sayin' you a Brave too?
Well, he didn't ask.
Did my daughter not tell you?
Well, I apologize for that.
My name is Arthur Pendragon.
I am the 507th chairman of
the Roundtable Foundation.
I also serve as the director of the
Japan branch of the Academy.
Huh?
You gotta be jokin'.
You tellin' me this
lil' delinquent right here
is the daughter of King Arthur,
the Demon God Slayer?!
I've heard of your accomplishment.
During the BFE conflict two years ago,
you were the outstanding Brave
who slew the Lord Radiant Serpent.
Well, thanks.
About what went down today.
Was I just meddlin'?
Y'all could've moved solo and
scooped this young miss safer, right?
No.
It's precisely because of my position
that I can't give special treatment
to my own daughter alone.
My gratitude to you is genuine.
Oh, yeah?
Then I say you smooth-talk her
to quit ASAP for her own good.
Heard she 'bout
to flop outta school too.
Your daughter's got no future in this biz.
You're right.
Both my daughter
and her teammates
do have some mental
issues as Braves.
Hmm?
I was thinking that it'll be difficult
to correct this at the Academy alone.
What?
Fortunately, it seems you have
earned their trust.
Hold it!
I was just doin' my job
I wasn't exactly
I also think it's a more solid job
than collecting 20 million yen
from minors, right?
I would appreciate your guidance.
Have a good day.
- W-Wait!
(Call Ended)
(Father)
Y'all really wanna have
this sorry-ass fool as your master?
He'd be dead if y'all girls
didn't step in, right?
He's a Lying God of Plagues, you know?
Yes.
However, he is noble,
compassionate,
and never abandons those
he meant to protect!
He is a Brave worthy of respect!
Ed!
Another beer!
Sure.
And now!
Allow me to properly introduce myself
again to my master's friends here!
You don't gotta! Go home!
I'm doing this for the sake of
our future relationship
There ain't no future! Go home!
I'm doing this for the sake of our future relationship
Oh, wanna eat this too?
Hey, don't feed her!
I, the unworthy Jogamine,
shall now recount
my master's great deeds!
Don't recount them!
Go home!
I'm usually here on Monday, so feel
free to call me if anything comes up.
Ah, okay
Don't go tossin' her your contact info!
Well then, Master, until we meet again!
Meet me never!
Goddamnit
I'm absolutely not taking any disciples!
(Scum of the Brave)
Guess I'mma go grab some grub.
Indo?!
(Yukine Indo)
(Apprentice Brave)
You
How did you get here?!
That glasses guy told me.
That asshole!
What do you want?
I ain't gonna be your master
or nothin' like that.
About that, though.
If being your disciple is a no,
then I don't mind a private lesson.
One-on-one, a 60-minute lesson.
20,000 per session.
How's that, Instructor?
It ain't about the money.
30,000 yen.
I said no
I see.
Regular takoyaki.
Eight pieces.
Dine-in.
I can treat you one if you want.
Didn't ask. Go home!
That's pretty lavish
for a high schooler.
I get paid by the Academy.
Want some?
Yeah, I ain't falling for that!
Ain't The Academy so nice.
For 10,000 or 20,000 yen a month,
you get to learn how to kill folks
and throw away your future.
It comes with a free dorm too.
I'm rich.
What about you, Instructor?
Do you have a place to live?
I do, lots of them.
But rent's a waste.
No fixed address?
It's not that.
I just can't settle down somewhere
and work properly, that's all.
Are you jobless?
Watch it!
When you're a top-class Brave
like me, all kinda mess pops off.
You got Demon King's goons
tryna smoke you,
or folks roll up goin'
all hype tryna recruit you.
So I've heard.
Huh?
Since you'd get attacked by
all kinds of assassins all the time,
he said it'd be good
if I helped you out.
That bastard just had to stick
his nosy ass where it ain't belong
Just quit being a Brave.
No matter how strong you get,
if you get your dome cracked
when you ain't rockin' E3, you're cooked.
But
I want to get stronger.
Well, well.
You look half-decent,
but I ain't wastin' my day
babysittin' dead weight.
Don't come cryin' to me
if you get smoked.
I'll do better this time.
(Peace Forest Park)
Long time no see
"Grim Reaper" Yashiro.
For all the disrespect and insolence
you've piled upon my lord,
I would like nothing more than
to kill you on the spot.
But my lord is merciful.
He commands me that I bring
you back unharmed, if possible.
Surrender peacefully to our army!
Nah, piss off.
What?!
Instructor, are you acquainted with him?
A while back, yeah.
He's with Lord "Wedge of Both Hands."
A retainer of the
Great Demon King who runs this area.
Not only that Demon King is a
real pain in the ass,
he's also tryna add me to his ranks
even if he gotta kidnap me.
Kidnap you?
I can't see you agreeing to work
for him that way.
Once they snatch you up,
they got plenty of ways
to make you work.
But, well
Think of this as a bonus stage.
Your bounty is 'bout
10 million yen, ain't it?
It's 15 million yen!
It's sad that you don't
understand my lord's mercy.
Very well, it is what it is.
I shall defeat you fair and square,
and take you back as a souvenir.
That's too many!
Fair and square, my ass!
It's an obvious countermeasure.
You yourself brought
a subordinate with you, right?
She ain't no subordinate,
ally, or nothin' like that!
What?!
How deplorable
Why does my lord favor the likes of you?
Huh?
You're too old to be
hanging around with a kid, damnit!
You freaking lolicon!
Who the hell you callin' lolicon?!
Loli
Instructor
Can I kill him?
Sure.
Then here's one piece of advice.
If you're going to jump,
do it when I give the signal.
He's pretty strong.
Got it.
Don't hold back.
Go!
Lord "Wedge of Both Hands"
He talks like an idiot,
but he's cautious.
I'd rather not flex my power,
but I ain't got no choice!
Hah! Y'all too rusted up!
Come get this smoke!
Go!
Go! Indo!
Ether perception of teleportation?!
So he was hiding his trump card!
Scatter!
Retreat!
Indo, you've got something
to bind him with, right?
Restrain him.
You're not killing him?
The officials 'bout to pull up soon.
Doing it now just gon' stir up mess.
What are you doing?
Loot.
Oh, he's packin' good stuff.
Even got an E3.
Nice!
Let me give you a hand.
Hey, knock it off.
That's mine.
Was I useful?
Yeah, I guess so.
I see. Glad to hear that.
I learned a lot.
I'm definitely not becoming
your instructor, you hear me!
Mental rental
As a beautiful girl,
my policy is to be undefeated
Entitled "Invincible Girl"
I'm renting you in my heart
Mental rental
No returns? "A cowardly scumbag"
Who am I?
You have your ideals
Like, super-opposite from me, for real
All flaws and empty inside
My Doppelgänger achieved the pinnacle
Only ridiculous common-sense people
Can wear shoes on the dance floor
Going crazy, bombed out,
how's the water temperature?
I can't end here in a city with no future
Technology is a disaster
Keeping people in brilliant anguish
Everyone has their own
"Why? Why?" complex
My title, loser-exclusive,
is high-spec
Neither talented nor with character
Liar, psychopath?
If that's who I am,
I can never be a match for you
Incomprehensible pretty words
I feel awkward with those eyes
They see through my weaknesses
Let me borrow them
Tell me
Mental rental
As a beautiful girl,
my policy is to be undefeated
Entitled "Invincible Girl"
I'm renting you in my heart
Mental rental
No returns? "A cowardly scumbag"
Who am I?
You have your ideals
Like, super-opposite from me, for real
Bizarre non-delicacy
Take it to the max and it's fantasy?
That mentality will save the earth
Ah, self-searching is not for you
You're dazzling,
with not having much to search for
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
