Tower of God (2020) s01e09 Episode Script
The One-Horned Ogre
1
My plan worked.
Huh?
What do you think you're doing?
Once upon a time,
there was a little girl who arrived
at the home of fallen nobles.
What's going on?
Endorsi?
The family was the least significant
of the Ten Families.
In order to produce a Princess of Jahad,
they adopted talented girls and made
them compete against one another.
You mean
Their meals for the day were determined
by how they placed during training.
High ranks were served luxurious
full-course dinners,
while low ranks received cold, stale bread.
Every day, while gnawing on
her bread, the girl wished
she could know what the meals
her sisters ate tasted like.
Then
From a certain day forward,
she got to eat all the food herself.
And she lived happily ever after.
What's she talking about?
You still don't get it, dummy?
History repeats itself.
Gather all the Fishermen in one place
and wait to see how the Ranker acts?
Did you really fall for that?
Endorsi
Don't look so sad.
You're spoiling that adorable face.
Was this your goal all along?
Huh?
To take out all of team B's Fishermen?
Only four out of the six Fisherman
candidates can pass the position test.
So if we drop out
Remember the mistake
I made during the last test?
I want to guarantee that I'll pass.
Damn it.
If you don't want to die,
you shouldn't turn your back on me.
How awful.
This is what it means to climb the tower.
Hey, distract her.
Huh?
I'll finish her off while you do that.
This is what you'll have to do in
order to climb the tower with her.
If you're prepared to do that,
Bam, then go to Rachel.
Go on.
I'll go along with your plan.
Huh?
I'll stop the Ranker's movements.
Use your spears to finish
him off from the shadows.
I'm saying I'll help you. Now go!
O-Okay!
He's coming.
Let's meet up with Hatz and the others.
We need to buy as much time as possible.
Let's go.
Hoh?
Hey, don't wander off on your own.
Good morning, Rak.
Passed
That red turtle is in a murderous mood.
Why's he so angry?
Didn't he beat the blue turtle?
No. As a Ranker, it was a
crushing defeat for him.
Please don't do this.
You're still here?
Why would you do this?
We're on the same team.
We were just assigned to the same team.
We're competing against each
other in the position test.
Yeah, but
Besides, they should've given up sooner.
They're clearly weaker than me.
But don't you know?
What?
When you were little,
when you didn't get to eat nice dinners,
didn't you want to become strong,
even though you were weak?
S-Spare me!
I've forgotten the taste of that stale bread.
Endorsi
You can't be afraid to hurt others.
This is wrong!
Even if it's wrong, you have to do
it in order to get what you want!
Endorsi!
You underestimated me, Princess of Jahad.
Narmada, ignition!
If he wanted to,
he could kill me instantly.
I have to do something while
he's still toying with me.
You led me this way so you
could hide in the dark?
You've got guts.
I hate to do it, but I'll
let them have the glory.
No, it's not that you've got guts!
It's that you're too stupid to run.
From the day I was born, these hands
have trained to hold a sword.
Once they grab on, they never let go.
Now, Spear Bearer Revolutionaries!
Don't tell me
Come on. Don't disappoint me.
Did they flee?
There's no way that shitty samurai
can catch a Ranker by himself.
Running is the right move.
Paracule, you're unbelievable.
Unbelievably smart!
Right?
Now I'm pissed.
You're a team of traitors.
Your deaths won't be pleasant.
Is this possible? You have
an Ignition Weapon?
Bam!
Michelle
I'd like to talk about you and Bam.
Who told you about Bam?
So you do know each other.
I received a letter.
It said that if I got rid of you,
Bam would also go away.
Please Wait
Test Director
Please Wait
Test Director
What's going on?
Is the redhead pissed off?
They're okay, right? Team B's okay, right?
Right, Khun?
Wait, you're
Lauroe?
Director, this is an emergency!
Even so, the test can't be stopped.
But
What is it, silent man?
Bam, are you okay?
Are you guys working together?
I can't do it.
I can't betray or trick
people to climb the tower.
I don't want Rachel to do that, either.
So I have to—
You have to protect her?
Oh, come on! That's not what Rachel wants!
Why don't you realize that?
I do realize that.
But still it's how I feel. I can't help it.
Even if she hates or despises me
I'll protect Rachel.
Playtime is over.
Huh?
Michelle Light
Cannot Connect
Rachel?
If Bam notices your Lighthouse has
gone out, he'll come looking for you.
This is the only way.
I must climb the tower.
No matter what.
You understand, don't you?
After all, you also—
Tell that idiot you don't understand him.
How?
What are you doing here?
Shut up! You're causing me a lot of trouble!
Why aren't you pursuing our "it"?
I told you to shut up!
Damn, what he said was true.
"He"?
Who are you talking about?
Shut up!
Just put down the knife.
What is this?
Something's not right.
What is this?!
What's going on?
Don't make me any angrier.
Why?
Quit ignoring me to chase that brat around.
I just I just need to kill
this woman! That's all!
Trash.
Rachel!
Hoh? What are you doing?
Damn it.
Why is this happening?
Was I deceived?
The letter Was it
Do you
want to climb the tower?
Was that letter
a set-up?!
Why would you hurt Rachel?
Shut up!
Hurry up and capture the Ranker, you monster!
I'll kill her!
Hurry up!
This is all
This is all your fault!
It's your fault for showing off your power!
Hurry up! Don't underestimate me!
Why?
Silence!
Are you serious, shorty?
What good will it do to fight me?
Well, whatever.
My body
Can't move, can you?
I poured Shinsu into your body.
If I do this to him, you'll have
time to save the girl.
If you don't like it, try copying me.
I need to catch your "it."
So you do something about that.
Let go!
Stop!
Rachel!
He actually copied a Ranker's technique.
Rachel! Rachel, wake up!
Why did you follow me?
I told you not to come.
What?!
Huh?
Rachel! Rachel!
Why did you do this to Rachel?
Isn't it obvious?
To stop you.
You followed her to the tower, didn't you?
Who told you that?
If you're gone, then I can go up.
But the tower chose you.
Hoh?
It's all over now.
Was this the only way?
I thought we were friends.
Friends? Are you talking about that list?
When all I did was sign a scrap of paper?
That's what I believed.
Just lip service.
It's all excuses the haves give the have-nots.
I lost everyone important to me.
They all died before I came here.
Because I don't have the
strength you or Lauroe do,
I can't fight back against the strong.
Strength always wins.
I couldn't protect anyone.
I let them die.
I have
nothing left.
Hoh?
That's right. I wasn't trying to kill
her in order to climb the tower.
I just
Bam, I hated you.
Don't!
Idiot!
Hoh!
Hoh!
What is this? What's going on?!
Don't die, Hoh
Hoh
Hoh!
He's already dead.
Damn it.
Why?
Why is this happening?
Why?
You don't have time to cry for a traitor.
The test is still—
I knew this would happen.
Endorsi?
Well, not that I was expecting a happy ending.
You came to capture me instead
of heading to the exit?
That's some composure.
Isn't this more interesting?
I'm already guaranteed to pass.
Isn't that Choenhwa's sword?
What? Do I have to explain that first?
Whatever you're thinking is probably correct.
Then why did a traitor
nonchalantly show up here?
Nonchalantly? We have to participate
in the test until the end, idiot.
Why, you
Calm down and think about it, lady.
If you don't hurry, this girl will die.
Do you want there to be more casualties?
Don't worry about that.
I'll end this soon.
Oh, wait. Just one thing.
Huh?
Bam
Honestly, I don't get
what's so great about her.
But I've found someone I want
to climb the tower with, too.
Not that we're close.
If anything, we don't get along.
So I removed some obstacles
because I didn't want them to drop out.
It's the only way I know.
You should do things your way, too.
Endorsi?
If you keep passing the tests, you'll keep
tasting more pain, like you did today.
People can't have everything.
The day always comes when
they lose something.
So you keep moving forward
so you don't regret it.
Got it?
Thanks for waiting.
I don't mind people with guts.
Burn this into your eyes.
I'm a Princess of Jahad.
Eventually, you won't even
be able to look me in the eye.
Who cares about "eventually"?
I'm a test administrator.
In here, I'm God.
Okay. Let's begin.
Where's your badge?
Right here.
What? That's ridiculous.
It's not something to show off!
An ignition weapon, huh?
If you don't really try, you'll die!
Don't blame me if you cry, princess!
Wha—
He's already mastered
that technique? Impressive.
Is this the answer you've chosen?
Fine. I'll take the points.
I can't afford to go easy on you.
Your Shinsu is limited, isn't it?
You're finished.
What? Don't underestimate me.
I'll finish this in seconds.
The world is unfair, Hoh.
They looked the other way when
things were taken from us,
and got in our way when we tried to take.
But now that I think about it,
I've never fought like that before.
I always make excuses.
I've never risked my life for anything.
I always regret things once
they're taken from me.
It's time for you to hand over your badge.
You're short of breath, princess.
Now, Bam!
Whatever the outcome,
I wonder what would've happened
if I'd stood up to them just once.
Maybe I never stood a chance
at winning in my life.
But if I'd faced them, maybe my heart
wouldn't feel so empty right now.
Sorry, princess.
But the road you flee down keeps on going.
You can't do anything if you're not alive.
You could've been a great man.
I can't believe I even
stole the princess's heart.
I'm such a sinful man.
What are you dreaming about while
clutching my panties, you dirty old Ranker?
Huh?
My badge is here, and your badge is
Here.
The test is over.
Team B wins this test.
You will be notified of the
test results tomorrow morning.
Silent man?!
Team B won?
