Oshi no Ko (2023) s02e07 Episode Script
Sun
1
How dare you hurt my comrade?!
I'll get you back a trillion times more!
If you plan to move past this point,
we, the Shibuya Cluster, won't let you.
The sound effects overlapped with my line.
Should I say it again?
Enough of your yapping!
Will you shut your trap
once I turn you into a lump of meat?
Who cares about the Shibuya Cluster?
We'll kill everyone
and steal this country!
Ad-lib.
She's incredibly good at improvising!
She introduced the word "Shibuya Cluster,"
which the audience couldn't hear,
in a way that Tsurugi would have said it.
Her timing was very natural too.
An actor who's been acting her whole life
sure is on a different level.
I feel a sense of security,
like she can adapt to any crazy situation.
I've never met anyone
so easy to work with.
Two against one
doesn't seem favorable to me.
I'll see you again sometime.
What? Hey! Don't run away, knuckle-head!
You tartar chicken!
The Shinjuku Cluster seems like
a troublesome lot.
They're just a bunch of idiots
without brains.
They think defeating all of
the Allied Sword masters is enough.
What do you want to do?
They're coming for us.
I'm the princess's right-hand man.
I'll follow her orders.
It was my mistake
to ask you for your opinion.
Why don't you try
being a little more human?
Princess Saya.
Your decision?
This is the part that changed the most
during our rewrite.
Princess Saya's
long dialogue has been cut.
She needs to express her dignity as a boss
and the conflict against Shinjuku
with her movements only.
When swords are drawn,
there will be blood.
However,
there are things we can't protect
unless we fight.
Then, we shall fight.
Her performance conveys
Princess Saya's emotions that were cut.
All the inconsistencies
in the previous script are solved.
She's amazing!
Shinjuku and Shibuya.
The day of the battle has finally come
for the two antagonistic factions.
Let's go!
You can't get past here, Blade.
Fight us if you want to go through.
Sounds like fun!
You go ahead, Blade!
We'll take over.
Kizami,
go settle your fight with Monme!
You got it!
-Princess Saya is back there!
-We'll force our way in!
I see some familiar faces.
Monme!
I didn't think
you'd make it this far, Kizami.
You're weaker than me.
Sure, I am weak.
But I was able to come this far
because of my friends!
Let's settle this, Monme!
The outcome won't change
however many times you try.
We won't know until we try!
Take care of the weaklings.
I'm going for the head of the enemy.
We'll end this battle quickly.
You look strong.
Let's see what you've got!
Huh? I was running as fast as I could
and now I'm the only one here.
Isn't this a chance for me to defeat
Princess Saya and brag about it to them?
Show yourself, Demon Princess!
So, you're Princess Saya?
You're mixed.
Do you also think that
mixed blood is inferior to pure blood?
As always,
her expression screams
"My acting is right."
I wonder what's bothering you so much.
Draw your sword!
This is enough to fight you.
Don't you dare take me so lightly.
I won't lose, Kana.
I'm here
because of you.
You probably don't remember the past.
But for a long time,
for many years,
I've been waiting
for this moment.
Rewind it. Please rewind it, Mom!
You really like Kana, don't you, Akane?
She's amazing!
She's a genius child actor
who can cry in ten seconds.
She's cute,
good at acting,
and she looks confident
even when she's talking to grown-ups.
She's just so amazing.
Then, do you want to try acting too?
Oh, that sounds good.
I got a pamphlet for
a children's theater group the other day.
Here.
THEATER GROUP HYDRANGEA
I-I can't do it.
I-I'm shy
and I'm a scaredy-cat.
And I can't do anything.
It might help you get over your shyness.
She's right.
Plus, you might make friends with Kana.
What?
If I could be friends with Kana,
I'd be so happy I could die.
I wanted to be like Kana.
So I worked really hard.
To get closer to Kana.
That was my goal.
Oh, Akane's mom.
Emili's mom!
I saw the commercial Emili was in.
Thank you.
But she only appears for a split second.
Oh, but I could tell it was her.
I really loved Kana
until the day
I first met her.
That hat is
Thank you very much!
Kana, are you nervous?
Um, I'm
Don't worry. It's already been decided
that you will get the part.
This audition is just a formality.
So just relax, Kana.
What is this about me?
Huh?
Kana?
It's the real Kana.
Oh, crap.
Um
I'm your fan.
I can tell.
Uh
That man said something strange.
He said the results of the audition
have already been decided.
That they're gonna pick you.
It must be a mistake, right?
You wouldn't cheat like that.
So what if I did?
AUDITION
Let me teach you something.
This is what we call a fixed match.
They'll hold an audition
for the sake of their reputation,
but it's been decided from the start
for them to pick me.
Are you
okay with that, Kana?
Of course I am.
I can get a job.
Aren't auditions about
choosing the best actor?
So, how can they decide
You don't get it, do you?
Anyone with decent acting skills
can play this kind of minor role!
So it's natural for them
to pick someone famous like me.
It's about whether it makes money or not!
They can get better ratings
using a famous child actor
over one that can act.
That makes me a better option!
Who cares about acting?!
You're wrong.
That's not true. Is it, Kana?
You don't mean that, right?
That you don't care about acting.
I mean, you're
Don't talk like you know me.
What's with that hat?
This is so stupid!
I hate people like you the most!
Don't imitate me!
Why?
Why would you say that?
PSYCHOLOGY
I couldn't understand,
so I studied a lot.
But now,
I can understand just a little
why you said that.
You were scared, right?
You were getting less and less work.
GREEN PEPPER EXERCISE DANCE ROUTINE
Singing made more money
and grown-ups praised you for it.
You wanted them to look at you, right?
You wanted to feel needed.
Stars can't shine on their own.
I hope to be someone
who can make the stars shine.
Keeping the same stride
and synchronizing with others.
You did your job
the way they expected you to do.
You decided to
live your life with them, didn't you?
That won't do.
That performance isn't right.
The Kana that I loved
was a much more selfish
and overwhelming actor.
You're not someone
who makes the stars shine.
Your acting
made yourself shine brightly like the sun.
I don't like the way you are now.
I hate you.
You got crushed by the grown-ups, right?
They forced you to match others.
Your acting should be
more selfish and cool
and amazing.
So much so, that you'd devour
everyone else's performance.
Stop adjusting to others.
You should make them adjust to you.
Watch me.
I can do it a little bit too now.
Acting that devours others.
I'll fight in a way
to make myself stand out the most.
So,
come at me with all you have!
So beautiful.
Even with this many actors on stage
and with everyone
getting equal stage time,
there's no doubt
that everyone is looking at her now.
Well, isn't this a fun performance?
You look so lively.
I see. You want to fight me, huh?
Or do you want to dance with me?
That sounds like a fun proposal.
I also wanted to settle things with
Why is she suddenly
Arima really is good at playing along.
Kurokawa stepped into the spotlight.
So Arima stepped back
in order to give her a bigger presence.
She can erase her presence
and blend into the set like a stagehand.
That's the right move for the play.
As a director,
she's the easiest actor to work with.
Yes, this is the right thing to do.
If Akane Kurokawa is
delivering a good performance,
I should act in a way
to help her stand out.
If the play goes well,
everyone will be happy.
Ego is not needed.
This is the way I perform.
Here.
I'll shine it on you.
So, shine brighter.
No, that's not it.
Why are you acting like that?
All I wanted was to act with you head-on.
I didn't mean to make you act that way.
Was I wrong?
Now it looks like I was trying to
steal everyone's spotlight.
I was self-centered and selfish.
I'm sorry.
That's fine.
Arima's acting annoys me.
Looking like she's skillfully
improving the quality of the play.
She doesn't know herself.
Arima shines the most
when she's drawing attention to herself.
If you want to defeat Arima,
we can leave it as is.
You know that's not what I want.
That's not the Kana I want to win against.
I want to beat her at her best.
I see.
Then,
let's drag her out.
The two of us.
