Kill Blue (2026) s01e12 Episode Script

She is, in a word,
the incarnation of the sea.
Surfing, sailing, fishing,
jet skiing, scuba diving
whatever you'd call "a marine sport,"
she's a natural.
Any competition she enters, she wins.
No one else even comes close.
And her knowledge is just as impressive.
From nautical expertise to oceanography
she can go toe-to-toe
with professionals in any field.
As someone once joked
"The only thing she's missing is gills."
A Unicorn.
The Mermaid Queen
Mai Otohime!
Hey. Nice to meet ya.
It wasn't exactly a coincidence
that I wound up judging the ramen contest.
I came here for a reason,
but my other self was standing around
all fidgety in the hall,
and someone called out to her.
Though when you tried to make me
eat Noren Mitsuoka's nightmare ramen
I thought I was gonna die
before I even got to make my entrance.
Wh-What is with this girl?
What reason?
A Unicorn here to talk to Ogami?
Which means
C'mon, after everything that's happened
so far, you've figured it out, right?
A Mitsuoka duel!
Let's throw down, you and I, Juzo!
What? Wait, no, more like, we knew it!
Huh?
HUH?
Hold on, how would that even work?
A Mitsuoka duel is basically a fight
to decide Noren's boyfriend, right?
If a girl challenges him Wait. Can she?
She can.
I read through the guidelines, and nowhere
does it say, "Women may not duel."
It just says the person who dates her
has to be male.
If Juzo wins, he keeps his right
to be her boyfriend.
If I win, Juzo loses that right,
but I don't gain it, either.
Meaning the position becomes vacant.
And if that happens, other people
can duel to fill the vacancy.
Same as boxing or whatever
when a title's up for grabs.
Huh?
Then there's no benefit for you, Otohime!
What are you even doing this for?
Bingo! Honestly, the duel thing
was just my way into the conversation.
I don't really care either way.
Even I get nervous
jumping straight to the point, y'know.
When I saw that futsal match against Tenma
Tendo, something hit me like lightning!
Everyone's handwaving it away because of
the news about Tenma getting hurt
but you can't fool me.
Juzo
You're actually incredible, aren't you?
And then the other day,
you saved me from that accident, right?
That's when my other self
felt the same way, too!
Like, completely!
One hundred percent in love!
I like you, Juzo!
Go out with me!
Whaaaaat?
Whaaaaat?
Huh?
More trouble
Wha Huh?
I mean, even if he's not into me,
any guy should be short-circuiting
at least a little right now, right?
But he's not excited at all!
He's wilting! Is this guy for real?
Okay
so let me make sure
I understand what you're trying to do.
You want to beat me in a duel,
make Mitsuoka and me break up,
then date me once I'm single.
Is that right?
Even if I were single,
I wouldn't go out with you.
The truth is, there are
a lot of circumstances around
why I'm dating Mitsuoka right now
but I'm not actually planning
to date anyone.
I'm sorry.
Nice! That coolheaded side
of you is nice, too!
And how you instantly grasp the situation
and give me a clean answer? Love it!
I told you, the duel part
doesn't really matter!
I'm not giving up!
I'll keep coming at you as many times
as it takes until you like me!
Wha
Wait a second!
What do you mean,
"The duel doesn't matter"?
Technically, he and I
are dating right now!
Huh? I'm only trying to make you
break up through a duel
because I thought
that'd be a little more civilized.
But really, why should I care whether the
person I like has a girlfriend right now?
Either way, I'm gonna make my move.
And I'm confident
I can make him fall for me.
All it comes down to is choosing whoever
seems better. Whoever seems superior.
Male or female, that's how animals work.
Oh, so, that's the kind of girl she is?
A carnivore woman!
Besides, Juzo just said
he doesn't actually plan on dating anyone.
So, it's not like you two
are in love, right?
That makes this even more my business
and mine alone.
Maybe I was a little too honest.
You've got a lot of nerve,
talking like that!
It is not your business, dumbass!
Then duel me, Mai Otohime!
- Huh?
By your logic, if I duel you and win,
that proves I'm superior, right?
If that happens, don't you dare
make another move on Ogami!
Noren?
What's this all of a sudden?
But hey, I do like it better
when things are simple!
Fine by me! If I win, I get Juzo!
And you never butt in again,
Noren Mitsuoka!
It isn't fine by me!
How did this turn into a duel over me?
I just said I was sorry, didn't I?
C'mon, it's a duel! No big deal!
It can just be for show at first.
I'll have you wrapped
around my finger in no time anyway.
Noren! You don't have to duel her, either.
All I have to do is keep turning her down.
I promise I won't fall for it,
so it's fine!
I know!
I know you probably won't get
any weird ideas.
But even if you don't feel that way
watching her do that right in front
of me over and over I hate it!
Uh, Boss?
Is this gonna be
okay?
All right, it's settled!
Now, the duel lets us choose the contest
and the number of participants,
but I still have to formally challenge
Juzo. That part's the bare minimum.
So! It'll be a three-person contest.
Juzo and Mitsuoka versus me.
As for the event, hmm
how about surfing?
Bring it on!
Simple version
Whoever rides the best wave wins.
I'll send you the detailed rules later.
See ya, Juzo! Better get ready for me!
Hey!
So, the next opponent is Mai Otohime.
I can't believe they ended up having
a duel after all, and in this form!
Surfing, huh?
Noren, have you ever done it?
Nope. Not once.
Then why did you say, "Bring it on"?
Noren, do you always just charge
straight ahead like this?
What about you, Ogami?
This couple's hopeless!
They're gonna get wiped out instantly!
Hey, come to think of it
Hmm?
Second-years and third-years,
gather round!
PSST
PSST
Noren Ogami
You two are our precious juniors.
And as the Home Ec Club,
we obviously want to support you.
But at this rate,
you two don't stand a chance.
You need muscle training!
I mean, special training!
And luckily for us
next Monday is our school's
founding anniversary.
Add Saturday and Sunday,
and that gives us a three-day weekend.
Which means
are we doing this? Ocean training camp!
Yay.
Now I've got more stuff to think about
before training camp.
Coffee, Boss?
You could've just said something.
I would've brought it to you.
It's fine.
I just finished my homework,
and I've got stuff on my mind,
so I would've come over here anyway.
B-B-Boss, haven't you been
way too nice lately?
Hold on, are you about to die
or something?
Why would I be?
Nothing has been building up to that.
I mean
before you turned back into a kid,
you were a lot harsher.
There was more than one target, you moron!
Do your damn research!
And if I got the wrong kind of cigarette,
you'd clock me.
How many times do I gotta tell you
I don't smoke menthols, you idiot?
You were running me
like some live-in yakuza apprentice!
You beat every lesson into me!
This coffee's lukewarm!
No, I never
I totally did. Sorry.
Well, I dunno. Looking back on it, yeah.
I didn't realize until you said it
but maybe the older girls in Home Ec
have rubbed off on me in a lot of ways.
Now you made this awkward to talk about.
The truth is, there's something I need
to ask you about before training camp.
Ask me?
LIFE PATHS
SATURDAY, JUNE 27th
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE
A parent-teacher conference?
That thing with the teacher,
student and parent?
Man, and you've got
that surfing match coming up, too.
What am I gonna do about a parent?
DING
I got it, Boss!
There's a perfect way to handle this!
Huh? Seriously?
Just leave it to me!
Oh right. No club today.
Then wanna stop somewhere?
Tell me the rest of that story.
Buy me large fries and nuggets!
Hey, we're best friends, right?
- Huh? Where's that coming from?
You here for a parent-teacher
conference, too?
No. I'm waiting for Noren.
I feel like, through
that ramen showdown
we came to understand each other
on a much deeper level!
No, you absolutely did not!
More importantly,
Noren's mother is coming today.
I must offer her my greetings!
Huh? And what are you gonna say?
"A pleasure to meet you, Mother.
I am Shin Kohazame, the man
who will someday have your blessing
to marry Noren."
Yeah, no. You lost the duel.
For now, I'm the fiancé.
What?
Then at least let me catch
one tiny glimpse from inside the ceiling!
Stay in there
and never come out again, you freak!
Oh You here for a parent-teacher
conference, too?
MINE IS ON A DIFFERENT DAY.
I AM WAITING ON MY BROTHER
I see.
Also, you guys sure are close.
Huh?
Oga, you're not going home?
Nah, today I have a meeting
with my teacher and
Oh, parent-teacher conference?
Wait, so, Oga's parents
will be coming here soon?
Then we gotta say hi!
First impressions are important, y'know!
No, you don't! Go home!
Whoa!
Huh? Rindou?
Wait, what?
Oga, are you friends with Rindou?
Huh? Oh, uh, we sort of played
a sport together the other day.
Or, well, "golf," I guess!
I DID I
He talks with flip cards? That's adorable!
She is really into this.
And wait, his drawings are actually good!
Hey, I like cats! Draw me one!
That got realistic all of a sudden!
Not what I expected, but it's still cute!
Okay, I'm actually really happy right now!
Let's go.
What were you talking about?
Meow
I see.
Wait, was that his brother,
the one who just understood "meow"?
Yeah. They don't look much alike, though.
He really is so cool!
For real? You think?
That aside, is Nekota gonna be okay?
Oh!
I've got it, Boss!
That face He thought of something.
He's going to ask someone
to play my parent, isn't he?
He better not have asked Eri!
Juzo!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Wait, you showed up in drag?
And why is the outfit just decent enough
to make this awkward?
I don't even know how to react!
If you'd gone all-out terrible,
I could've just smacked you!
Is that Oga's mom?
Huh? She doesn't really look like
I mean, that's pretty different
from what I pictured.
Oh my, are you Juzo's friends?
Thank you so much
for always looking after him!
Uh, yes.
Nice to meet you.
What kind of mom were you picturing?
Are you stupid, you
"Stupid"? What kind of child
talks to his mother that way?
Is this a rebellious phase? Honestly!
Don't worry, Boss!
No matter what happens,
I'll play the perfect mom to the end!
As a professional!
None of this is getting through to him!
Here you go, girls!
Take some candy!
Catch! Catch!
Uh, thanks.
Thank you.
That's not a mom! That's an Osaka auntie!
Thank you for waiting!
Mrs. Ogami, come on in.
Thank you!
I'm Juzo's mother.
Thank you for meeting with us today!
Huh? Oh, yes. Please, have a seat.
She's strangely young,
and they don't look anything alike!
Um, excuse me, but you wouldn't happen
to be Juzo's older sister, would you?
Oh, goodness, Professor!
Aren't you a flatterer!
So, Professor, how is my boy doing?
Is he getting along all right at school?
Uh, yes, I would say so.
I don't see any problems with his conduct.
He takes class seriously.
Juzo, that's a glowing review!
Mommy's so relieved!
Knock it off!
- However
there is one issue.
An issue?
Hey! What did you do?
Oh, no! I wouldn't call it
a serious issue!
But first, is it okay
to smack him like that?
Oh my!
One thing that does concern me slightly
is that every now and then
the way he talks and acts
is oddly middle-aged, I suppose.
Oh, goodness, really?
I wonder where he gets that from!
Honestly, this child!
- Ow!
Well, thank you so much!
It was a pleasure meeting you!
Likewise.
Thank you for coming in today.
Take care.
When we get home,
I am absolutely kicking his ass.
Huh?
Noren?
Oh, Ogami
Oh my, Juzo! Another friend?
Goodness, every girl you know is so cute!
Cut it out with that act already!
This is Ogami's mother? She's completely
different from what I pictured.
Hello there! I'm Juzo Ogami's mother.
Thank you for looking after my son!
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Noren Mitsuoka's mother.
Your son takes very good care of her.
Oh! You're from overseas?
You're so beautiful!
And your Japanese is wonderful!
Oh, not at all!
I still have so much to learn!
So, this is Noren's mother.
- No, it really is excellent!
She's way more normal than I expected.
- Where are you from?
Canada.
Oh my!
Canada?
The Canada where maple syrup
- They don't look alike.
comes out of the faucets?
- Oh no, nothing like that!
Well, Boss, we somehow got through that!
So?
How'd I do as your mom?
Oh, yeah. Incredible.
So good I want to murder you.
Right?
I actually put a lot of thought
into the makeup
and I really worked out
the character, too!
Nekota, go home without me.
Huh?
I wanna be alone for a bit.
He is still only a first-year
but I'd like to start discussing
his future little by little.
Not that you need to decide
immediately, of course,
but if you're considering high school
entrance exams and further education,
it's always best to start preparing early.
My future, huh?
For a middle-aged guy like me,
it should be completely irrelevant,
which is probably why it stuck in my head.
Master wants to become a doctor.
So, he'll go on to high school,
then college.
Noren'll
probably open a ramen shop someday.
Though I doubt she'd say that
at a parent-teacher conference.
And Tenma said
he was gonna go pro
in three sports, right?
Knowing him,
he might actually pull it off.
Honestly, school is fun.
But sometimes
they seem so full of possibility,
I can barely stand to look at them.
They've got futures ahead of them
and I'm an old man who doesn't.
What's all this, Ogami?
You're looking awfully wistful out here.
As usual, you give off
a very non-seventh-grader vibe.
Oh, Big Sis!
What are you doing here?
I could ask you the same thing.
Why are you here at this hour?
Oh, that's right. Ryo said
you had a parent-teacher conference.
Yeah, I did. You had one, too?
Nah, I'm a third-year,
so mine was guidance counseling.
What kind of high school do I want to
go to, how am I handling entrance exams,
that sort of thing.
I have to start deciding.
So, I suppose I came out here
to get lost in thought myself.
So, are you gonna go
to a cooking school or something?
Huh? Why would I?
I'm planning on going
to a regular academic high school.
Huh? That's not what I expected!
You're not going to pursue
the path of cooking?
What does that even mean,
"the path of cooking"?
I like cooking, sure
but that doesn't mean
I want to become a chef.
Besides, I don't think you have to
lock in your whole life right now.
Are you thinking everyone's supposed
to have some dream or goal already?
I mean, I do think the way
my little brother and Tenma live is cool.
But personally, I'd rather not decide yet.
Once I get to high school,
I'll have more options.
Once I get to college,
I'll have even more.
I want to choose how I live
from all of those possibilities.
Isn't that one of the reasons we study?
Well, I'm not nearly as good at it
as my little brother.
Wait. Could there actually
be one?
Huh?
It's bad for a hitman to come to school?
Back then, it still hadn't clicked.
No matter how this turned out,
I figured once I got my old body back,
I'd just go back to being an assassin.
Until now, I've only been studying
because it's fun.
GRAMMAR: SUBJECT AND PREDICATE
But
if I aimed for something
and kept going for that reason
could I have one, too?
A life where I'm not an assassin
A future
Huh?
Wait, are you crying, Ogami?
No.
The sunset's just stinging my eyes.
What are you, an old man?
No! Huh? As if!
Well! Anyway, my point is, let's enjoy
all kinds of things while we can!
Not just studying, but club stuff, too!
That ocean training camp we talked about
is gonna be a blast for everyone!
Huh?
Club President? Ogami?
Oh, Noren!
Are you here for some brooding time, too?
Huh?
Brooding?
Give that duel everything you've got!
That's what the training camp is for.
R-Right!
The ocean
And we'll have someone coming along
who knows a lot about surfing.
Huh? Who?
You'll find out when we get there!
Uh, y-yes, ma'am.
When am I gonna turn back to normal?
Or am I stuck like this forever?
Well, no point sitting around
thinking about it.
What happens, happens.
Hell, this could be interesting.
I'm used to trouble!
And I'll blast right through
every last bit of it!
