Tribe Nine (2022) s01e12 Episode Script

1
Lord Ojiro, they are too weak
to be worthy. You needn't have come.
Will you continue fighting
or surrender? Choose.
-Fight!
-You bet we'll fight!
In that case
Lord Ojiro, I can handle this!
XB should be a fair battle where
all put their lives on the line.
You have committed a sin,
just like Tenshin.
Begone. Never show your face again!
I was only doing it for you!
Did you not hear me?
Let's resume the game.
Wait, Ojiro!
EPISODE 12: PLAY BALL
Is this really what you want?
Ojiro!
Whoa! Bats and gloves, just for us!
-Sorry.
-It's fine! I'll get it!
You got the hang of it, huh?
Now it's your turn to pitch, Ojiro.
Someday, we should play
and fight on the same tribe.
Once we beat everyone else,
you and I can say we're the best.
Yeah!
What I want is the best player
and the best player alone!
Everyone else is worthless! Meaningless!
Winning is everything.
The strong win and the weak fall.
Nothing else matters.
BENEATH CHIYODA CASTLE
ANTI-GRAVITY ENERGY DOME
Since I've been dismissed,
there's no need for me to obey Ojiro.
I'll destroy the Otori family
and Chiyoda with a little mayhem.
Afterward, I'll support a puppet ruler
and govern from the shadows.
That's the quickest and most reliable way
for me to dominate Neo Tokyo.
Farewell, Otori family.
Stop right there!
Taito Tribe?!
What are you doing?!
I think you know.
In place of the heavens,
I'm calling down judgment!
Say what?!
Goodbye.
EMERGENCY ESCAPE POD
UNAVAILABLE
-Shit!
-What a firecracker.
My stomach hurts. Just shut up and work.
We've gotta tell the others
before helping you!
Hey, wait!
This is just not my day.
If continuing to fight is proof
of your strength,
victory will be mine once
I completely crush your fighting spirit.
I'll ensure you never stand again!
I'm not afraid of losing, but
There're things I wanna protect!
In that case, I'll destroy all of them!
I'll protect my comrades and the memory
of the one who protected me!
What?!
He totally drilled it! Huh?
We can't maintain altitude!
Chiyoda Castle!
Are they really bringing
the whole thing down?
Hey, hurry! That lady
went off the deep end!
He who runs may fight another day!
-Shit!
-At that speed and angle
It's projected to fall right here,
at Neo Tokyo Station!
-Wicked sick!
-Haru!
He's heading towards first base.
Are you kidding me?!
The game can't go on like this!
I've gotta call him back.
Haru! You there?! Haru!
He won't run from the fight.
Remember what he said?
He's got things to protect.
And what will you do?
The game ain't over yet. I'll go help.
-I'll go, too.
-Yeah!
Continuing this fight
is unprofitable. A loss, even.
Shithead Master! Take care of the others!
Pupils don't get to boss around
their masters. Go and get lost!
Taiga! Kazuki!
-Haru's in your hands.
-Mm!
Haru!
You okay?!
There he is.
Kamiki is bringing down the castle!
Who cares? The fighting won't stop
till everyone submits to me!
Everyone? Then you'll be
the only one left in the world.
I've made it this far all on my own.
That's my pride!
No! XB takes teamwork!
Comrades are shackles!
They only hold you back!
Who are you calling shackles?
Bring it! No matter how many of you
resist, I'll prove that it's useless!
You guys go on ahead! I'm gonna end this!
But what about you?!
Haru, let's go!
Are you another one of their "comrades"?
Ojiro, it brings me shame knowing
I was the only one let go.
You were left behind in that
horrible place while I alone was freed.
I want to save you.
Ojiro, you okay?
Only the strong can survive here.
This is no place
to be playing "best friends."
My only aspiration is to win.
And if I win, I'll have to fight
you someday, Kazuki.
Number 31, Kazuki Aoyama, huh?
KAZUKI AOYAMA
You were defeated! By me!
I realized something:
The reason you crush your opponents
is 'cuz you're terrified that, someday,
they'll rise again and beat you.
In which case
I'll take that terror
and make it a reality!
Hang in there.
Reminds me of the old days!
Don't think for a second
I'm the same as before.
Looks like everyone's aboard.
Hurry up, Saorin!
Come home safe, you guys.
What's wrong? Is your left arm
at its limit already?
If my left arm was healthy,
I'd have won by now.
Oh, yeah?
You really surprised me, Haru!
Huh? Me?
Yeah! 'Cuz you stood up
to Ojiro all on your own!
It's because I've changed.
And it's thanks to Kamiya, Minato Tribe,
and everyone I've played XB with.
Before, I always used to run
from things that scared me.
But now, there're people and things
I wanna stand up for.
That's why I'm not running away.
Having comrades made me strong!
I see! Then, 120% of the reason
you're strong is me!
If you're here all alone!
Where's Kazuki?!
Dammit!
Is it fun being strong on your own?!
Is beating people a sign of strength?!
No one gets strong on their own!
Your strength has no room to grow!
The only thing ahead is a dead-end!
If strength had room to grow,
then it's not ultimate!
You're wrong! Strength is the process
and drive of becoming stronger!
It's striving to reach new heights!
Nonsense.
-Let's go!
-Right!
Kazuki!
In the end, I guess
it's just the two of us.
Still, I'm not gonna lose to you.
That's all you've got?
Ojiro
Oji ro!
Hey, Ojiro. If we became XB players,
which tribe would you join?
As long as I'm with you, anywhere's fine.
All right. Then let's fight together.
Still, if we're on the same tribe,
you'll just be my sub.
That's fine by me.
I just wanna be on the same tribe.
Kazu ki
Those two already ran off.
I know you won't let it end
with a half-assed loss. Right, Ojiro?
Chiyoda Castle!
Doesn't matter! Just get to home plate!
-Huh?
-Hmm?
-Ojiro?!
-Kazuki!
Sorry, but I've brought back
Chiyoda Tribe!
It's my duty to watch
you guys play Ojiro!
Double-crossing us after all
this time? I saw it coming!
But we're not gonna lose! Right, Taiga?!
Damn straight!
Why are you smiling?
Because I'm fighting you
and enjoying it!
What?
Well said, Haru!
Sadly, it's about time we end this!
Huh?
Th-Thank you.
That was a tag out, but since
you did graze the ball, you win.
XB is fun, ain't it?
You just took on someone
you thought you had no chance beating.
XB fires you up like nothing else.
Your body moves on its own.
For more speed. For more power.
-Go, Haru!
-Go, Ojiro!
-Right!
-Right!
More!
More!
-More speed! More power! More! More!
-More speed! More power! More! More!
XB is fun! Do you feel it, too?!
Almost there!
-Shoot!
-It's over!
Haru!
I lost, huh?
Finally found you.
Kazuki?
It all starts here.
You can become even stronger.
You can fight. You can start over.
Start over?
Yeah. Remember our promise
about fighting on the same tribe?
Let's play as teammates this time.
Though, you still might end up as my sub.
After the fall of Chiyoda Castle
and the royal family,
the loss of its ruler, Ojiro, caused
a reform of Neo Tokyo from the ground up.
Every tribe was shaken by the loss
of Ojiro and the fall of Chiyoda Tribe.
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF OTORI FAMILY
PRESUMED TO BE OVER
BREAKING NEWS
OJIRO OTORI STILL MISSING
Nekomaru!
Man, things sure have changed.
That gory, icky feeling
has finally gone away.
'Cuz Ojiro who pushed out
those new XB laws is gone.
And Kazuki, too.
-I hope he's doing okay somewhere.
-Yeah.
Even though XB's going back to normal,
there's always gonna be tribe conflicts.
I wonder how Haru's doing?
I think Taiga's with him.
Um, well You know,
don't let it get to you.
A broken heart or two is nothing.
Huh? Are you consoling me, Taiga?
I get Arisugawa's feelings, but I've
decided not to hide how I feel anymore.
So I'm fine with it.
Kinda sounds like
your attitude towards XB.
I see! You're right!
I feel like Kamiya's telling me
just to enjoy it. So! Whoa!
Yup! Damn straight!
Hana! Eat mine!
Maybe I'll eat everyone's at once.
Now then
-Hmm?
-Huh?
Hurry up, guys! It's starting!
-Count me in!
-Me, too!
-Huh? Hey, wait!
-Sounds fun!
Which tribes are playing today?
-Turn the volume up!
-Wonder what kind of game we'll get?
Now then, let's play ball
and have some fun!
