Tank Chair (2026) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
Previously on Tank Chair
While protecting his sister,
the city's strongest assassin, Nagi,
was left unresponsive after an accident.
Only one thing can awaken him.
Die!
I'll kill you!
- Die!
And that is "killing intent."
Tank Chair Mark VII, "The Heavy."
Tank Chair Mark V, "The Cannon."
Tonight, I continue
my pursuit of full awakening.
In search of the ultimate killing intent,
my rehab begins.
GUICHENG ISLAND
The boss seemed unusually nervous.
Just who are those two?
Ah
I heard they're assassins
brought in from off the island.
Turf wars have been
heating up lately, yeah?
I hear he's paid big bucks to hire pros.
Apparently, they're from the Academy.
That Academy?! Really?!
I wonder if I can get
their autographs later.
HEADACHE PILLS
I'm Naozumi Kurosaka.
This is my younger sister, Touko.
Come on, say hello.
So, who's the target this time?
Oh, uh
Um
The leader of a rival gang
or that's what I was thinking, but
The thing is
Well
What?
Huh?
He was killed?
Yes He was found dead this morning.
So, about the job
I was wondering if we could cancel it
"Yay, let's go sightseeing
before we head home"?
Get real, there's nothing to see here.
Ugh, fine, have it your way.
U Um Here on Guicheng,
there's been
a spate of strange killings lately.
It seems he ended up a target too.
Huh? Strange?
Yes.
It appears only particularly violent
and dangerous people are being targeted.
Some have even gone
so far as to view the culprit as a hero.
The victims were hurled
with incredible force
or cut in half, armor and all.
I can't believe a human
would be capable of such things.
Huh? This is
Huh?
If that's the case, I'll waive
the cancellation fee this time.
Oh, really?
In exchange
If you could help us track someone down
we'd appreciate it.
Uh okay
PRIVATE SCHOOL → DEATH SCHOOL
We've been getting complaints
from local residents recently
about students' behavior
on their way to and from school.
Things like convenience store robberies,
reckless driving, fraud, and extortion
If you're going to engage
in any of those activities,
please go home first and do them
somewhere away from school, okay?
'Kay.
Hey, Taira! Are you listening?!
NOM NOM NOM
Hey, quit eating!
Hey, teach, don't sweat it.
No one's dumb enough to get taken
by a space cadet like Taira.
Oh
Yeah, good point.
HA HA HA HA HA
Okay, let's start the lesson.
Today we're working from
"English Words for Provoking People 2."
The four key words for "idiot" are
Huh?
Touko?
"I'm in a class above you,
so show some respect"
is what she said.
Ugh My head's killing me.
Naozumi What are you doing here?
This.
- Ah!
Somebody snatched our target out
from under us.
He and the wall behind him
were hacked through with incredible force.
This insanely savage swordwork
It kinda rang a bell,
so I looked into it
I never thought Tahira the Traitor
would turn up here, of all places.
Oh, yeah
You guys go by "Taira" now, don't you?
If you're gonna use a fake name,
pick something better.
Ah
- Whoa.
Don't give me a headache
by trying to run or anything.
There's no point.
I'm in a different class now.
He's around, right? Your older brother.
My former classmate.
Where is Nagi?!
What'll you do when you find him?
Whoa!
L Long time no see.
Urk!
Wait!
- Touko! Stay!
What? You're pissed off
because she's small and cute?
What does that have to do
with anything right now?
Talking with you makes
my head ache even more.
As you can see,
my sister's got a short fuse.
You'd better start talking,
or she'll make mincemeat out of you.
Huh?
What the hell?
What is this?
He's unconscious
He's been like this
ever since the accident
An accident?!
Not him! That's not possible!
Huh?
He was protecting me
Oh
I see.
So he's still the same, huh.
The Academy.
An organization that takes kids like us in
from all over the world,
educates them,
and molds them into elite assassins.
KILL
U Ugh
Dammit
Here, the weak are either
sacrificed as pawns
or secretly forced to "graduate."
And yet
while my sister and I were fighting
desperately to survive,
there was one guy
who never seemed fazed by it all.
Nagi Tahira.
Some rare trait made him stronger
the more killing intent he faced.
At the Academy, the most gifted students
are placed in Class A.
And he was top of the class.
The greatest genius
in the Academy's history.
An annoying model student
I could never win against.
But
What pissed me off the most
is that he escaped
with his sister from Class F,
the dumping ground
for all the school's failures.
He betrayed the Academy
And for someone like her!
He's a disgrace to Class A!
Hey
Huh?
Just leave us alone already.
No way! You need to be punished
for what you did.
I see
I didn't wanna do this, but
Huh? What are you playing at?
Touko, you're as freakin' huge as always!
Huge, huge, huge, huge, HUGE!
Hey!
Nagi, it's time for rehab.
KILL KILL KILL
Ah!
Huh? Kurosaka?
Here we go.
Ugh! After them!
Jeez, stop running, would ya!
What a pain.
S Stop I came to help you
You're a volunteer
from off the island, aren't ya? Huh?
Found it. A Tokyo Second-Class Citizen ID.
He had it hidden in the sole of his shoe.
Oh!
That'll fetch a pretty penny.
Just so you know,
there ain't a single person here
worth helping.
Everyone here's scum who only knows
how to live outside the law.
Hey! Hold it!
- 'Scuse me!
Uh huh?
What?
Ah, hey, asshole!
Huh?
- Huh?
Huh?!
That way!
LET'S KEEP OUR CITY CLEAN
NO ILLEGAL DUMPING
Shizuka, what's going on?
Apparently that guy we used for your rehab
last time was a target of theirs.
I see.
Getting things to this point was a gamble,
but Kurosaka's dumb, hotheaded sister
came in really handy.
Good job.
But we can't keep this up.
Yeah.
Trust me, I know!
Whoa, you!
What the hell?
The guy seemed as lifeless as a corpse
Huh, what? When you tried to kill him,
he came back to life?
Slowpokes!
- Down there!
This city's a damn maze!
Whoa!
Argh! This time, they're above us!
They're like roaches!
Whoa!
Huh? Are you for real?!
Touko, over there!
Huh?! Ah!
Take it a bit easier, would you?
Yeah, yeah, sorry.
Ow!
Hey!
Oh, shoot! Nagi, spin your wheels faster!
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, go!
DEAD END
Argh, dammit! We're getting nowhere!
Touko, climb!
ME
Nagi, the Mark III's
at the abandoned temple up ahead.
Got it.
Down at the temple!
Where'd they go?
Huh?
Huh?
Tank Chair Mark III.
"Iron Fists."
TANK CHAIR MARK III: "IRON FISTS"
Hah That's more like it, Nagi.
A combat wheelchair, huh?
Yeah, we're not who we used to be.
Huh? "Give me first crack at him"?
Guess I got no choice.
