Gnosia (2025) s01e10 Episode Script

Citizen Slime

Do you understand?
Setsu
I guess I looped again.
Yeah
Huh?
Is something wrong?
Huh? Um
Huh? Huh?! Hm?!
Wait
Are you still hurting somewhere?
Have your wounds not healed completely?
No, um
I'm a girl?
Looks like your memories
are still in disarray.
Yes, you're a woman.
Your name is Yuri.
This is me?
EPISODE 10: CITIZEN SLIME
I'm a woman
Not only can I apparently turn into
a Gnosia depending on the loop,
even something like this is possible?
I
Er, um
So, like, I got hurt and took a nap
in that capsule, right?
Yes. I believe that some of your memories
may have been compromised by the shock.
So nothing's really changed
other than my gender.
Then why
Yuri?
Ooh, we've been waiting for you.
Sorry. Now we're all here, right?
Actually
Sha-ming isn't here yet.
I did talk to him before heading here.
He just said to do whatever we want.
And that's not going to work.
Say that to him, not me.
So can someone tell me
how many Gnosia there are?
Affirmative.
Two Gnosia have been detected on board.
There is also one Engineer and one Doctor.
Furthermore, Racio and Shigemichi remained
on board when this ship docked at Liu-An,
and are thus confirmed to be human.
Hm If there remains a possibility
that Sha-ming is a Gnosia,
why not freeze him and see how that turns out?
Let us cast the die of fate.
I think that's a bit reckless.
We also can't discount the possibility that
he is the one with Engineer credentials.
You're so nice, Racio.
I didn't say it out of kindness. I was simply
considering the entire probability space.
So what're we gonna do?
Our meetings are limited.
Hurry up and decide.
I really do think that we should
all be here for the meeting.
What do you think, Yuri?
Huh?
I I mean, uh
I, like, totally agree.
Guess we're delaying the
meeting an hour, meow.
I'm gonna go for a light jog.
Everything seems to be the same,
other than me being a woman.
But there has to be something
I guess I should talk to someone.
I think Setsu is already heading over
to try and convince Sha-ming,
Woohoo!
and I don't know for sure
that they're not a Gnosia.
Which leaves
I know!
Those on Guard Duty are confirmed human.
I can talk to those two.
Where's Racio?
Who knows? I believe they left first.
Hm? What's up?
Shigemichi
What is it?
Something troublin' you?
I'm always happy to lend an ear
to a cutie-pie like you.
N-No, it's nothing Thanks.
Do guys always look this stupid
from a woman's point of view?
I need to be more careful.
That face I guess you do remember, Papa.
"Papa"?
No No! Why?
Why? You know why.
It's because I love you, Remmy.
SQ
Ah, Yuri! Hi, hi!
What's up?
Er I was just wondering where Racio was.
Racio?
Ah
Lemme give you a special guided tour!
What's up?
Er, what about Remnan?
Oh, he's fine.
Remmy's always like that.
Here?
Yup.
Aren't you curious what
their body looks like, too?
Huh?
What? N-No! That's not
Now, now, no need to be modest.
I'll have a peek with you.
Let's go.
That's not it!
That's not what I
Kitty punch!
Wh-Wh-Wh-Whoa.
No!
What are you fools doing?
Huh?
Racio?
Voyeurism is a crime, you know.
Regardless of the genders involved.
Do you want to get thrown out?
No, that's not it.
I just wanted to talk to you.
I see. So in the course of your looping,
you ended up becoming a woman.
Yeah.
And?
And? Um
I can't imagine why so many stubbornly
insist on clinging to notions of gender.
Once you free yourself of that burden,
you understand how inconsequential it is.
You may be right, but
What?
I think I got a bit off track.
I'm more curious about
why this is happening.
On the previous loop, I was a
Gnosia, and I I mean, like
Hmph. You don't even understand that?
Very well. Then let me ask you a question.
Huh?
Why are the loops occurring?
Because of the Silver Key.
Precisely. Next question.
Why does the Silver Key make you loop?
To gather knowledge and
information on humans
Oh!
Did you finally figure it out?
The Silver Key is a living organism.
That knowledge and information is
the sustenance it needs to survive.
It stands to reason that it would
instinctively know where to find more.
So it wasn't a coincidence that
I ended up like this on this loop.
I'm sure there is information and
knowledge to gain from the world line
that the Silver Key has sent you to.
And that information is something
you can only obtain in that form.
That's why you ended up that way.
Isn't it obvious?
Racio
Thanks, Racio.
Hmph.
So I probably ended up as a Gnosia last time
to gain more knowledge of Comet.
What leads do I have this time?
Hm
So you want to hear about old Jonas.
Yes. I heard that you were a crew
member on a famous ship in the past,
so I, like, wanted to ask you about that
Man, I lost!
Well, given that our match has just ended,
I would be more than happy to fulfill
a request from a beautiful lady.
Where shall I begin?
Yes, um
Well, then, I guess I can start with
how I ended up exploring space.
Stella, fetch me some coffee that's black as
a demon's blood and hot as the fires of hell.
As you wish.
Uh-oh. I get the feeling I'm going
to be here for a really long time.
What is it?
Um K-Kukrushka
Could you tell me about Kukrushka?
Why?
Er, well I've just always thought
she's really beautiful.
Why do you know about Kukrushka?
I don't recall ever letting you meet her.
Huh?
Oh, right. Crap! I guess I haven't
met Kukrushka on this loop!
Did you go to the storage?
Storage?
I have nothing more to say.
Oh, Jonas
Setsu.
What's wrong?
Well, it's taking some time to
convince Sha-ming to come out.
I'm sorry, but I'd like to delay
the meeting one more hour.
Sha-ming.
Seriously, I already told you people
to just do whatever you gotta.
Sha-ming
Like I said, you wanna ask me for somethin',
you gotta treat me to a hot kiss first.
Sha-ming. How many times must
I tell you that I'm not a woman?
Like I said, that don't matter to me.
If you got a problem, just freeze me already.
I see
Huh?
Sha-ming
How about me—I mean, like,
wanna go with me instead?
Huh?
I'll fulfill your request.
But in exchange, I'd like for you
to attend the meeting.
Yuri What are you saying?
Well?
Are you serious?
You got a few screws loose?
I said I wanted a kiss. Tongue and all.
Yeah, I know.
Just so y'know, I might get a little rough.
And dependin' on how it goes,
I might not stop at a kiss.
I know.
Yuri!
Sha-ming You never had any
intention of kissing anyone.
You only tell Setsu that
knowing they won't be able to
and that they'll be forced to
send you into cold sleep.
Right?
Heh. Think ya got it all figured out, huh?
In the end, I only care about me.
Not like that military cadet
who keeps talkin' bullshit about
doin' stuff for the greater good.
Come on in.
I'll make you regret underestimatin' me.
I'll go.
You go back to everyone else, Setsu.
Wow, you actually came in.
I told you. I'm serious about this.
All right. Well, get strippin'.
Sha-ming. You're a Gnosia, aren't you?
Huh?
You're a Gnosia, but you don't want
to deceive everyone by lying.
But you also don't want to betray the other
Gnosia, so you don't know what to do.
Am I wrong?
You can tell me.
Sha-ming.
You promised me a kiss, remember?
What? Did you think I wasn't
serious about that?
I told you. I can be a bit rough.
Understand?
Believe in him.
Could we eliminate Otome?
I wonder what's crueler in the end.
Sha-ming isn't the kind of person
who'd go through with this.
He's just scared of people finding out
how he really feels.
So he puts up a smokescreen
by having everyone hate him.
In order to get through to him
Turn off the lights.
How long are you gonna keep actin' tough?
Turn them off.
Fine.
If you're gonna insist that much,
I'll make you regret it.
I'll make you regret ever thinkin'
you could trust a guy like me.
Believe in him Believe in him
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
No way.
No way.
No way!
Don't cry, jeez.
Huh?
Don't try to act so tough.
My heart won't stop racing.
I didn't realize how scary that would be.
Huh? What's going on?
Emergency. Emergency.
All crew, please seek shelter.
I repeat. Emergency.
Setsu?!
What the hell? There's no one here.
No one's in the main control room, either.
Stay away!
Stay away!
Remnan?
Remnan!
N-No! No!
Y-Yuri Help
Remnan
We need to go!
Huh?
He's already half-eaten!
There's no savin' him now!
But
Wake up! We're gettin' outta here.
Oh, hey, Shigemichi!
What happened?
Guh
"Guh"?
Let's go!
What? What's going on?
How the hell would I know?
For now, let's just head downstairs.
Is it Kukrushka? No, it can't be.
But the thing that was consuming Remnan
Setsu
Yuri.
What's that?
I knew it.
Huh?
I previously experienced a world line
where Kukrushka killed everyone.
So I've been monitoring
Jonas' actions on every loop,
and I discovered something in storage.
Kukrushka?
Wh-What the hell is this? A dead body?
No This is a doll.
Huh? A doll?
Yeah. There's no doubt about it.
Then the one who attacked everyone
Everyone!
That's
Stella, could you tell us what this is?
This is a doll that is very precious to Jonas.
She apparently resembles
his late beloved, Arya.
Arya?
Can the doll move?
No. But there was also another doll,
and that one could move.
She was accompanying Jonas,
but when we were escaping Liu-An,
she didn't make it to the ship in time
I see now.
So when she doesn't make it onto the ship,
only this inanimate doll is on board.
But when she does
More importantly, you need to take shelter.
There is currently a slime mold
moving through the ship.
A slime mold?
Comet accidentally entered
an active cold sleep capsule.
Jonas got her out immediately,
but the slime mold, seemingly under the
mistaken belief that its host had died
Comet's slime mold is looking for a new host?
Yes.
But there isn't anyone on this
ship that can coexist with it.
Yuri!
Setsu.
Run!
Setsu!
I'm fine.
You do what you need to, Yuri.
Setsu
Both of you, please get
into this medical pod.
Once you are inside, I will expel all of the
air within the ship and kill the slime mold.
Wait, wait.
What about you?
Please do not worry about me.
I will be all right.
Please believe me.
Okay?
But
Let's get in, Sha-ming.
Huh?
Just hurry up!
Sha-ming.
Hey, Stella.
When you turn the air back on,
can you wake up Yuri only?
Huh? Well, that is possible, but
So, yeah. I'll be countin' on ya.
You don't wanna be dealin' with some Gnosia
on top of everythin' else, right?
Okay?
Sha-ming
Sha-ming
Sorry. It's a bit up close and personal in here.
You don't really need to worry, though.
Even I wouldn't try somethin'
funny in this situation.
Though I'm probably not very convincin'.
I knew it. It's just like I thought.
Huh?
I've looped many times
through many world lines.
That's why I know the various sides of you.
The side of you that feels bad for Otome
The side of you that cares for everyone
I don't buy that kinda thing. Never have.
Anybody who tries to sweet-talk you
never has good intentions in mind.
Thanks
It's not what you think.
I grew up
on a shitty little planet out in the sticks
surrounded by intellectualized bonobos.
They were all super smart and strong.
And most importantly,
they were all really good guys.
But they pissed off some
important asshole somewhere
and they were all disposed of.
I couldn't do a thing.
All I could do was blame myself
and you can see how I ended up.
A shitty guy livin' in a shitty world.
Everythin' sucks.
Even so, I know there's a future out there
somewhere where you can keep smiling.
I believe in that.
Didn't I just tell you?
I hate those kinds of fickle lies that
only mean something at that moment.
It's not a lie.
It's not a lie.
Man, you're so warm.
What are you, an angel?
We were just in hell bein'
chased by some crappy slime,
but all of a sudden, I'm in heaven.
Seriously. This is all your fault.
My angel.
Did I loop?
I didn't.
Man, it's hot!
Well, well. Look who we have here.
Jonas
What the hell is up with you?
Jonas realized that the slime
mold was weak against heat.
So we raised the temperature in the ship
exponentially and filled it with steam.
And thus, the ship staged
a stellar sauna of sorts.
Would you two like to join us?
Man, what the hell is this endin'?
Yeah, I'm done.
I'm goin' into cold sleep,
so don'tcha dare wake me.
I guess things like this happen, too.
Huh?
Then I'm even more sure it exists somewhere
A world line where everyone is happy.
