Needy Girl Overdose (2026) s01e08 Episode Script

So, how was tonight's stream
with your one and only KAngel?
- Ohhh, okay, mm-hmm.
You're all fired up, huh?
- LeafinGarden192 1,000 YOU
WERE THE BEST TODAY, TOO!!!!
- Then I guess it's about time
we wrapped things up.
Now listen, you little freaks.
Take a damn bath before you go to bed!
If people start saying
OMGkawaiiAngel's fans stink,
I will seriously never forgive you!
This is so much fun!
Bless!
Magnificent.
The blind adoration of my faithful,
the lowlife trash-talk of my haters
The whole world has its eyes on me.
Nobody sees it.
Not the girl underneath.
Not the bottom-feeding loser who
couldn't even make it through middle school.
All their smug little critiques,
all their exaggerated reactions
Not one of them
understands a damn thing.
P should be all I need.
But I was the girl nobody ever looked at.
And now the whole world is validating me.
Expecting something from me.
DIRTY STUFF
No drug on earth can beat the high
my own brain is pumping through me.
It feels so fucking good.
Your collection's gotten pretty huge.
I do toy reviews
every now and then, too.
Like that one!
They ended up using the limited-edition
color in the actual show,
so now it's worth a fortune.
Man, Karamazov really has
come a long way.
DEADLY POISON DENPA GIRL
PURPLE LOLLIPOP
It has. At this rate, taking the top spot
wouldn't be strange at all.
NECHIKA-SAMA
Obviously!
Keep this up, and Karamazov's gonna stand
at the very peak of this country!
Heroes always get replaced
by the next generation.
Are you ready
to drag the Angel down to earth?
What's this? Has the radiant glory
of Lady Lollipop finally inspired you?
Then I guess it's time
to give the people what they want.
Let's go take it!
The zenith of the streamer world!
That washed-up old hag
calling herself the Internet Angel?
Time for her to fall from grace!
We're going angel-hunting!
Assuming she doesn't get scared
and run away, anyway.
She'll accept. The Angel will definitely
accept your challenge.
I've already cast the spell
that'll make sure of it.
Huh?
I show people dreams,
but I don't tell lies.
Declare it loud and proud.
We're ready to bet everything
on one tiny purple girl.
We, Karamazov, will surpass the old god!
All right!
Deadly Poison
Denpa Girl Purple Lollipop
and the other two!
We, Karamazov, the hottest, strongest
streamer group of the moment,
are here to send off that anachronistic relic
who's been squatting on the internet forever,
coasting on past glory
and calling it "salvation"!
The stronger the poison,
the sweeter it tastes.
I like it.
Why don't we let
all the little internet birdies see it, too?
- Kache @Kache
Nail and beauty type influencer
- MICHICA GOKUBARA
Y-You're declaring war
on OMGkawaiiAngel?!
It was something we'd have to do
eventually. So this is fate.
You're on a whole
other level now, Michica.
Have no fear! The time has come!
That's all there is to
Oh! Is that a new ring?
Yes! Nechika bought it for me.
And this inverted cross is from Michica.
All right!
Tomorrow night, we're doing a stream
to announce the battle!
And we'll book a huge venue, too!
The date will be Christmas.
The holy night.
Between the crowd at the venue
and everyone watching the stream,
an unfathomable number of spectators
will decide the winner.
The champion of this era will be chosen!
It will be our moment of judgment.
There once was a timid boy
named Giovanni.
His life wasn't going very well
and little by little, he began to wonder
what "happiness" really was.
More than anything, he loved talking about
the night sky with his best friend, Campanella.
One night, Giovanni left home
to see the Festival of the Milky Way,
but some mean classmates
started bullying him.
As Giovanni sat all alone on a hill
outside town, feeling totally dejected,
a dazzling announcement rang out,
"Galaxy Station."
And then, before his eyes, the Galactic Railroad
came racing across the night sky.
Campanella was already sitting inside.
The two of them
talked about all kinds of things.
Surrounded by the mysterious,
beautiful sights,
they even spoke of the one true God.
And eventually,
the two of them made a vow.
That they would search
for "true happiness" together.
Giovanni was overjoyed to have made
that promise with his best friend.
Campanella, it's just the two of us again.
Let's go on together,
forever and ever.
Like that scorpion, I don't care
if my body burns a hundred times over,
as long as it's for everyone's
true happiness.
Yeah. I feel the same way.
But what is true happiness, really?
I don't know.
But as the Galactic Railroad neared
its final stop, Giovanni noticed
that Campanella's body
was beginning to fade away.
Campanella?!
Campanella!
Giovanni, left behind,
later learned the truth.
- One of the classmates who had bullied him
had fallen into the river,
- Campanella, no.
- and Campanella had disappeared
after saving that child.
- Campanella!
Up through the third draft of this story,
a character named Dr. Bulganillo appeared
and taught Giovanni about happiness
and how he should live from then on.
However, in the fourth draft, the version
most commonly published today,
the Doctor was erased,
leaving us with this lonely ending.
Why did Kenji Miyazawa deliberately
rewrite the ending this way?
What is true happiness, really?
The end.
We meet again.
What were you doing?
Nothing. I had a little time to kill, so I was
just watching the merry-go-round.
That sounds lovely. You look happy.
Maybe "true happiness"
is just little moments like this.
Is that Kenji Miyazawa?
Yeah. Do you like him?
A streamer I love recommended him.
She even did reading streams
of his work.
I see. So what were you doing out here?
Me? I have to make an important
announcement tomorrow
and I guess I was feeling restless.
You shouldn't get too nervous.
What will be, will be.
Maybe this jittery, nervous feeling
is when I'm happiest.
Even more than the actual moment.
Sanity or insanity. I don't know
which one brings true happiness.
You remind me of that streamer
I mentioned.
Not your appearance, exactly.
More like the color of your soul.
I feel like my nerves
are finally calming down.
It's nice, having someone you're into.
I have a boyfriend, but I don't have
anyone that I stan or anything.
But right now, that person is my rival.
It's kind of a long story.
Think you can beat this rival?
Yes. I will.
On my own, I'm weak,
but with the three of us, absolutely.
It's okay. This place is old,
so that happens all the time.
That doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
"The phenomenon called 'I'
is a single blue illumination
of the hypothesized,
organic alternating current lamp."
"A compound of all transparent ghosts."
Kenji Miyazawa.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Like the night sky.
This moment really is happiness.
The clouds of Andromeda
Are the shape of a fish's mouth
The Great Bear's foot points to the north
Reaching out to five places
I should get going.
Um, would you tell me your name?
Ame.
Miss Ame.
Just Ame is fine.
P's calling,
so I should head home, too.
That must be nice.
I bet your boyfriend's a great guy, too.
He is!
Look! See?
This is a picture from when we went
to the beach together the other day.
So, Michica, you said you had a fun dream?
What was it about?
Right. So it took place
in a magical kingdom,
and I was a detective
who was highly insightful.
Today's incident was a request
from the princess.
It was regarding a case of attempted
murder on the royal jester.
So I questioned the alleged murderer
who was being kept in jail.
But I located the real killer
with my sharp deductive powers.
The real murderer
was the royal family's janitor.
However, this is where
the unexpected happens.
That murderer was being mind-controlled,
and accidentally said the wrong name.
However, that wasn't true,
and he wasn't being mind-controlled.
and it was the janitor
dishing out the orders.
Then again, the cleaning person was also
being mind-controlled by someone, too.
And now, on a quest to find the truth,
I was able to unmask the true mastermind,
and what happened was
And mystery solved.
So you're saying the Princess, who was
the murderer, hired Michica to solve the case?
What a dumbass, airheaded princess.
I'd done okay for myself.
I was doing okay in beauty school, too.
- After graduation, I'd probably apprentice
at some okay-enough salon,
- That's amazing!
- Your designs are getting
a ton of love on Insta, Kache!
post okay-enough nail designs
along with my selfies,
and my follower count and popularity
would grow to okay-enough levels.
I could probably become
a pretty decent nail artist.
I don't have a boyfriend anymore,
but I'm sure I'll meet someone nice
and fall in love again.
I'll have some kind of passionate,
exciting romance. Something decent.
There are still so many events
waiting for me in life.
But to those people,
I'm nothing more than a single grain
of sand that slipped through their fingers.
That necklace is super cute!
Oh, this? Lollipop gave it to me.
From Karamazov?! Oh, right.
You're friends with Michica, aren't you?
Yeah. So I bought her
some earrings to say thanks.
They're cheap, though.
Nice. She'll totally love them.
It's not about the price
with stuff like this!
Yeah.
Sorry. I think I'm starting to feel
kind of sick.
Huh?
Are you okay?
Want me to walk you home?
No, I'm okay. I'm really sorry!
Did we do something?
I don't know.
Maybe it was my fault?
Sis, you're incredible!
You're basically a celebrity now!
Yeah, but the person you're
picking a fight with is pretty insane.
Sis will be okay.
Are you gonna beat OMGkawaiiAngel?
Yeah. I'll win.
That's awesome!
Well, you guys are pretty serious
about soccer, right?
Duh! We're the best at school.
That's great.
I'm proud of my little brothers.
But that's just school.
You're on the world stage.
You don't get it.
Being the best at school is about
the happiest a person can be.
Right, Leader?
Huh?!
Are you nervous?
No!
Though I guess I am
feeling a little restless.
Maybe get a little night air.
Maybe I'll take a short walk, too.
At a time like this, why not
try leaning on your friends?
Unlike us, you're lucky enough
to have an actual best friend.
Oh, Michica? Um, sorry,
calling you at a time like this.
I don't actually need anything.
I just, as your friend,
wanted to cheer you on.
Hello? Can you hear me?
Are you okay? Am I bothering you?
I
I don't need friends!
Don't get the wrong idea!
Of course. We really do live
in completely different worlds, don't we?
You've always been so cool, Michica.
You really have.
Shut up!
Sorry. Yeah, I get it.
I'm on the side that
can't get through the glass.
I said shut up!
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Michica.
The Brothers Karamazov.
A Lady of Little Faith.
Off to the side of the
three brothers' story,
all kinds of people gather around
this elder who's, like,
insanely serious and talks
for a stupid long time.
The elder speaks to a lady troubled
by her narrow love and her broad faith.
"The more I come to love
humanity as a whole,
the thinner my love grows for individual
people, each and every actual person."
Skipping ahead!
"The moment someone comes near me,
their very personality weighs on my pride
and restricts my freedom."
"In the span of a single day and night,
I could even come to hate
a perfectly fine person,
for no greater reason than that
he takes forever eating at the table."
"I could hate another person
simply because he has a cold
and keeps blowing his nose nonstop."
"The slightest contact with people
would turn me into their enemy."
"And yet, strangely,
the more I hate individual people,
the more passionately my love
for humanity as a whole burns."
Wow, what a deep and profound passage!
The novel is so long and intense that
we're not even close to covering it all,
so read the rest yourself!
The end!
The more things a person has
to protect, the weaker they become.
The more warm, human connections
they build, the harder they slam on the brakes.
Everyone's afraid of going over the cliff,
so they get scared of their own runaway speed
and retreat into human relationships.
I have nothing.
That means I'm the only one
who is truly free.
I alone have the resolve and the right to save
the victims of this surveillance society,
caught in the spiderweb
of endless human ties.
To guide the lost lambs,
I must remain free.
Truth, goodness, and beauty.
That tricolor must be stronger
than anything.
But God alone possesses all three
and surpasses them.
Faith makes God strong.
People believe in God
because they seek salvation.
And to save the people,
God must always remain almighty.
God must remain alone forever.
- God must remain alone forever.
Michica?!
Michica?!
Michica?!
Michica?!
Michica?!
Michica!
Michica!
Michica!
Michica.
Where the hell did Michica go
right before our big stream?!
Did you find her?!
No.
I was a little worried this might happen.
But seriously
Do you have any leads?
I asked Kache, but she said
Michica hung up on her.
Oh! Got a message.
From Michica?!
From Kache.
What's it say?
Perfect timing.
I know where Michica is.
I'll go get her.
What?!
Hey! If you disappear too,
I'll be all alone!
It'd look weirder if only one member
was missing for the big announcement.
If it's just the leader, people'll think
it's part of the presentation.
Good luck, hero.
You smooth-talking bitch.
You lot! Gather at the Budokan
on the holy night!
This time, it won't be some talk show!
It's a live battle!
The Angel and Karamazov are going
head-to-head in a real live show!
The audience at the venue
and everyone
watching online will vote
to decide the winner.
Just you watch.
The era is about to change.
You will all bear witness
to the revolution!
Wow. So smashing windows
wasn't an impulse thing.
It was your special talent.
Guess a dreamy little Lolita
really is stuck in puberty forever.
Not really.
It was in the way while I was
trying to look at the moon.
Not that some normie
with grown-out roots
could ever understand.
Michica.
Kache.
Ow, ow! Anyway!
You'd better mark your calendars!
Those assholes made me stream
all by myself!
I was scared out of my mind!
You bitches!
TO BE CONTINUED!
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
Kache and Michica will
confront each other.
A cage in their heart
that they've been repressing.
The whole world is ugly.
What truth will come
from Michica's mouth?
Next time, "Blue Monday."
