Psyren (2026) s01e05 Episode Script
Those Gathered
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 5
Those Gathered
Huh? What's going on?
Hey.
The payphone on this floor is ringing!
Hey, wait!
Where are we? Did Psyren do this?
Shut up and follow us.
We'll explain later.
The cord's been severed, and yet
I'm answering it.
What is this?
Despair and strength
for those who seek Psyren.
Those who reach Psyren shall
have everything in the world.
There is only one way to exit this game.
Those who seek Psyren,
those who seek the exit to this world:
find the gate.
What's going on?
What was that voice
and those lights?
Get off of me!
Look.
A desert
You've gotta be kidding me.
Hey, where are we?
Don't ask me! I was sleeping in my home!
Calm down.
If you don't want to die, listen to me.
I'll tell you everything I know.
This is the world of Psyren.
Amamiya started explaining what
this world and Psyren Drifters were—
everything she knew, little by little.
This is the future?
We've traveled through time to come here?
What a story! You're insane, lady!
What? Got something to say?
Take that back. Amamiya isn't crazy.
Screw you. What's wrong with
calling a crazy person crazy?
Don't, Yoshina!
I enjoyed some of your story,
but you can't expect me
to believe all of it.
I mean, how can this be the future?
That's stupid.
You're the stupid ones!
We've been here before!
It is indeed interesting.
I don't doubt what you say.
That's Oboro! You know, from TV.
But I never believe anything for sure
until I see it with my own eyes.
You said there's a map, right?
I'd like to see it.
Fine.
This is the map.
What is this?
The whole map's a danger zone!
Huh?
So we'll be in danger
if we set one foot outside?
The gate's right over there. It's close!
And we can go home if we make it there?
Seriously? That's so easy.
In that case, I'm going.
Wait! It's dangerous out there.
You could die.
You're worried about me? That's nice.
It shouldn't matter to you
what happens to me.
I'm a naturally selfish creature.
Well, if you went out and died,
it'd ruin my sleep at night.
That's the kind of "creature" I am.
I can't say I dislike intense guys like you.
Nobody's beating me
to the chance I've been given.
The 500 million yen is mine!
I'm going, too.
I'll never make it back home
by staying here.
I'm going, too!
Me, too!
Those idiots! All following
that Oboro guy like lemmings.
That's what happens when you just follow
others instead of thinking for yourself.
Are you staying with us?
Yes! Why would I wanna go chasing
after some dudes' smelly butts?
The one who stayed is an idiot, too.
Don't mind them. It's not your fault.
It's fine. This always happens.
Anyway, if the gate is this close,
they might make it there without incident.
This place is crazy.
Is this the right way?
Damn, it's hard to walk in this sand.
At least you're not barefoot.
Hey, maybe this really is the future.
Are you stupid?
But the buried buildings
What the hell? What is that?
It's huge!
It's a monster!
Run!
How does it know where they are
from below ground?
Probably from their footsteps.
It's sensing the vibrations in the sand.
Then running away is actually
putting them in more danger.
Get to a high place nearby!
It's attacking by sensing your footsteps!
Take refuge somewhere high!
That voice
Even if their PSI hasn't awakened,
that should reach them
in this world's atmosphere.
Hopefully it's enough.
Climb! Hurry!
It's no use. If they don't get high
enough, they still get eaten.
Yoshina!
Over here, Mochizuki Oboro!
It's coming!
You need to get out of here! Hurry!
Just get over here already!
This all happened because
you didn't listen to me!
Who do you think you are?
Mind your own business!
I'm not a child!
Screw that! Do you want to die here?
Yoshina!
Give it a rest!
That was close.
Looks like it can't come up here.
Wh-What was that power you used?
We'll explain later. Let's get him inside.
Are you okay, Yoshina?
I feel dazed.
Don't use your powers anymore.
You'll exhaust yourself like I did before.
What a strange power.
How do ours activate so differently
when we trained the same way?
I don't know.
And I've never produced
such a huge Burst before.
I've felt less burdened
ever since we arrived here.
That's because this atmosphere
is saturated with PSI energy.
It conducts PSI far better than our world.
I have no idea what they're talking about.
PSI Is that the name of that power?
Someone help!
What are we supposed to do now?
Look! Some of them survived!
Good.
Okay, let's rescue them
and head to the gate.
We should be able to manage that.
Yoshina.
What was that? Did something explode?
Something came flying in from that way.
Did that bastard shoot at us?
That power He's a PSI user.
Could it be?
Is that you, Tatsuo?
Tatsuo?
Come to think of it, you did say
you came here looking for someone.
His name is Mana Tatsuo.
He's a junior of mine who
went to the world of Psyren.
Tatsuo was always sickly
because of a hereditary disease.
He couldn't move his body the way he
wanted to, and he often missed school.
He couldn't play outside,
so when I visited him,
I'd tell him stories
about what I was doing.
Like how I'd hit a home run
or chased off a stray dog.
The stories were all made up, but still
You're so cool, Hiryu-niichan.
I just wanted to see him happy.
Then he heard rumors about Psyren.
He thought if he went there,
maybe he could get a healthy body.
Will you go to Psyren with me?
But I rejected his offer.
Hiryu
Look! That monster's heading towards him!
Go! Eat that asshole!
It fled?
Seriously? That worm's freakin' useless.
It really didn't like something about him.
It's the sound. It must be
the sound his mask is making.
Tatsuo, you're alive?
Is that really you?
Shit!
Why'd you call out to him, idiot?
I-I thought I was a goner.
We seem to have the devil's luck.
Is anyone hurt?
I'm fine.
What's his deal?
Is he gonna keep shooting at us?
Is he out of bullets?
I see. That gun's power
comes from his Burst.
He's replenishing his PSI
so he can attack again.
I don't know what this "PSI" is,
but how long do we have until
he attacks this building again?
It probably takes a while
to draw out that much power.
Then we should run
while we have the chance.
To where?
The whole area surrounding this building
is the worm's hunting ground,
and he's between us and the gate.
That gun likely holds four shots.
If he can replenish even one,
he could attack again.
We have to figure out a way for
the five of us to survive before then.
Your nose is bleeding.
It's nothing. I just felt a chill for a
Mochizuki!
His brain has started awakening.
He's awakening way sooner than we did.
Huh? What? His brain's awakening?
What's happening to him?
This is bad. Why did it have
to happen now?
This makes it even harder
for us to move as a group.
We don't have a choice.
If he's too sick to move,
we've gotta leave him behind.
We'll just come up with a plan that
gets the healthy ones to the gate.
We can't do that.
What are you even saying, jerk?
I have a name, and it's Kirisaki Kabuto!
If we waste time here,
we'll get shot at again, right?
And if we go outside lugging that guy,
we'll be worm food!
Let's come up with a way to save everyone.
We can't do shit if we gotta babysit
someone who can't even move.
Feel free to leave, then.
Go wherever you like by yourself.
I don't give a shit about you.
Oh, yeah? Fine, then.
I'll reach the gate by myself,
even if I have to sneak or crawl.
You'd better not regret this.
Just so you know, no one's better
at running or hiding than
Seriously? Both of them?
Now we really can't go anywhere.
It's nice and cool.
Rest. You'll feel better soon.
What an angel.
Well, everyone,
let's pull ourselves together
and come up with a way to save everyone.
You really are a selfish asshole, huh?
I'd recognize that appearance anywhere.
Tatsuo, what are you doing?
Shit!
He's finished reloading!
That was faster than expected.
How many shots?
Four. He's fully loaded.
Y-You had that in there?
Yoshina and Asaga-kun,
watch over things here.
Amamiya? What do you think you're doing?
I knew I'd have to act the moment
they started awakening.
It's okay. I'm used to fighting.
But it's crazy to go out there
on your own!
You can't use Rise.
You'd only hold me back.
If you're really worried about me,
channel it into protecting those two.
You idiot!
You two saved my life.
It's my turn to protect you.
Come to think of it, I've stopped
crying at home since then.
Rise! I'll enhance my athletic ability
and push my legs past their limit!
One shot.
Two shots.
Who are you to trouble Asaga-kun so?
Let's take a look inside your head.
Trance! Wired Mindjacking!
Connection successful.
Begin the Mind Dive.
What a muddled mind.
It's like the mind of someone in a coma.
Humans shouldn't be able
to operate like this.
There's a trace of residual thought there.
This is a fragment of
Tatsuo-kun's memories.
Run! Move!
Listen to me, body!
I had no idea Psyren
was such an awful place!
I should never have come here! Asaga-san!
He really is Mana Tatsuo-kun.
Let go! Let go of me!
Where are you taking me?
Tatsuo-kun was captured by the Tavoo
and taken away, but where?
The siren tower?
What is this place?
Some kind of facility?
Tatsuo-kun!
Is that a Tavoo core?
How could they do that to him?
This person
isn't Tatsuo-kun anymore!
Three shots.
Shit. That monster showed up again.
Tatsuo's got one shot left.
Amamiya's not giving up yet.
She's out of her mind!
Wait!
All we can do right now
is protect those two.
If we come under attack,
what'll happen if you're not here?
And if we go, Amamiya will try to save us.
Damn it.
The best thing we can do
to help Amamiya is stay here.
That boy's strong, but he's also flexible
enough to accept his own weakness.
That lone girl out there
is protecting all of us right now.
That's four shots.
Amamiya.
I'm back.
We were worried, you know.
That was reckless of you.
Mochizuki Oboro.
It's time I did my fair share.
