Yuri quotes from Angel Beats!

Hinata

[At Yuri] Alright, can you please give us the down-low on what we found?

Yuri

Hm...Angel has been developing her own abilities. She's using the same method we are to make our weapons.

Ōyama

What does that mean?

Yuri

I'm not sure. I can't say anything for certain.

Fujimaki

Why not? You're being a little too vague, Yurripe.

Yuri

[Thinking] For her to do things the same way we do; it could mean the worst possible scenario for us. It would mean there is no God. If she's an angel, why doesn't she get her powers from God? Why does she have to develop them for herself? It just doesn't make any sense.

Takamatsu

And here's another problem: [Places Iwasawa's acoustic guitar on the table.] where did Iwasawa go?

Noda

Didn't Angel obliterate her?

Hinata

During her performance?

Noda

Then what did you think happened?

Ōyama

So, who kidnapped Iwasawa and-

Yuri

[Aloud] No one did. She accepted her fate. That's all there is to it.

Yuri

At last. The time has finally come.

What? Is something starting soon?

Yuri

Angel's rampage is about to begin.

What? What do you mean by "Angel's rampage"? [Shows scene of what Otanashi thinks as "Angel's rampage" with a group of the SSS members fighting Angel fiercely.] But-but...Why is she going on a rampage?

Yuri

Because tests are coming up.

Uh...Come again?

Takamatsu

Think about it. It's of the most vital importance that we attend class and get good grades on our tests, and important that we excel. At least it's important to Angel. [Otanashi's previous theory of what "Angel's rampage" is like is shattered.]

Yuri

But this testing period is a perfect chance for us to make Angel flunk her tests.

Fujimaki

Sounds to me like you've already got a plan, Yurippie. Come on, let's hear it.

Yuri

We'll interfere with all of Angel's tests; make her flunk them. That'll put her as worst student in the whole school.

So what happens then?

Yuri

She loses face. Will she be able to maintain respect as our student body president?

Think that'll weaken her?

Yuri

At the very least, the way the students and teachers view her will change. It will result in an unprecedented shift in perception.

Matsushita

Such as?

Yuri

Dunno. Even I can't figure that out.

Matsushita

Then what's the point?

Yuri

(Thinking) But if she isn't an angel made by God and doesn't have an iron heart, if she's just a normal human soul like us, that loss of face will cause some serious mental damage...and a rift in her mental state of emotional well-being.

Yuri

First off, I'll determine who's participating in this operation. I pulled some strings to get several of us in the same testing room as Angel.

Fujimaki

I'm sorry. I don't understand why we don't just surround her?

Yuri

Yeah, right! That won't happen! We can't afford any mistakes! If they discover our operation midway, we'll be sent to different classrooms. We won't be able to ensure that Angel gets zeroes.

Noda

I see. I'll pass on this mission. This sort of sneaking around stuff is for pussies.

Yuri

The participating members will be Takamatsu, Hinata, Ōyama, Takeyama, and Otonashi.

Otonashi

Not me, again!

[At Yuri] Would you please call me "Christ"?

Yuri

[Ignoring Takeyama] I merely chose normal-looking people. Now then, operation start!

Otonashi

What's that sound? An earthquake? Is there a battle? Or help? [Otonashi remembers the two-way radio Yuri gave him.] That's right! [He takes it out of his pocket.] I have this! [Attempts to reach Yuri on the other end.] Yuri! I've been locked up! [No response. Otonashi becomes frustrated.] It's broken! She dumped a piece of junk on me! [Throws the radio on the bed. He then attempts to try and find a way out with no luck.]

Yuri

[On radio] Otonashi? Otonashi? Do you copy? Otonashi? [Otonashi rushes over to the radio.]

I hear you! [Otonashi hears another explosion which shakes the room again.]

Yuri

I'll assume you can hear me, Otonashi. Listen carefully. Ayato Naoi wasn't an NPC. He's a human with a soul, just like us.

Otonashi

That's impossible!

Yuri

Doesn't that seem strange? As former vice president, he should have been behaving like a model student. Therefore, he should have gotten obliterated; unable to maintain his human form. But he's cruel. He's been bullying normal students behind our backs. He acts accordingly in public, but he's ruthless behind the scenes. That's how he's been maintaining his balance in this world.

Otonashi

But why would he do that?

Yuri

He's running loose in our world now that Angel is no longer there to keep him in check. We still don't know what he's after. We're going into battle. It's a horrible battle, unlike any we've ever faced. He knows we can't attack the normal students; he's using them as shields and hostages. We've got no choice but to do what he says. This has turned into a one-sided battle. He's shooting down our friends one by one. I think...I think Angel has been locked in confinement. I checked the introspection room he locked us in, but I couldn't find her. I think she's been locked somewhere that's harder to break out of. Something like a safehouse or something. Hey, Otonashi, I bet you're with Angel now, aren't you? Hey, Otonashi? Bring Angel to us. We need Angel if we're going to put this horrible battle to an end. We're running out of time. Please, bring her to the field. [Otonashi hears gunfire and screams in the background.] I'm going now! Well, best of luck! [Yuri cuts the connection.]

Hinata

Now there are two rampaging Angels. This is worse than our last Operation Parachute.

Otonashi

Why were there two of her?

Yuri

The clones can use Handsonic and Distortion. That means they can use Harmonics, too.

Naoi

You're truly imbeciles, you know that. [At Otonashi] E-Except for you, Otonashi. You're smart! [At Yuri] Allow me to list off the problems for you.

Yuri

Please do.

Naoi

There are two problems, in fact. First of all, how many clones did the copy make? And if the clones can make more clones, then there's no end to them.

Hinata

So, let me get this straight. What you're telling us is that there might be ten or twenty clones, not just two of them?

Otonashi

Hold on. I thought Yuri added an additional ability? Aren't the clones supposed to return to the original? Can't we just wait for them to vanish?

Naoi

And that would be the second problem. What if they made all these clones before that ability was added? What if THAT was the real issue? [Everyone is in shock by what Naoi said.]

Hinata

Wait! That means-

Naoi

Hmph. Even you low-lives are starting to understand. [At Otonashi] Of course, I'm not talking about you! You're a proud noble! [At group] See, what if they knew all along that we would come here, and made a bunch of clones to ambush us in the Guild?

Hinata

That would be...

A trap, dude.

Naoi

That's correct. A trap. There's already two clones behind us. They aren't vanishing, so we don't stand a chance. I imagine there's more waiting for us.

Matsushita

So you're telling me we're trapped in here?

Fujimaki

We can't replenish our supplies either. Looks like this is all just a matter of time.

Hinata

Why are they doing this to us anyway?

Yuri

I imagine her ultimate goal is pure submission. That is her mission after all.

Fujimaki

She wants us to LET her obliterate us?

Hinata

It's the perfect plan to wipe us all out at once.

Yuri

Let's go. [Everyone stands up and follows Yuri.]

Hinata

Look out! There's another one.

Fujimaki

It's the third one.

Matsushita

It's a waste of your bullets. [Mastushita walks in front of Yuri and charges at the Kanade clone.]

Otonashi

H-Hey! What're you doing?! [The Kanade clone activates Handsonic and stabs Matsushita through the chest while he is blocking her.]

Matsushita the Fifth!

Matsushita

G-Go. Get outta here while I'm still conscious!

Hinata

Wait, you make it sound like you're about to die or something, man!

Yuri

Hurry up! Take this opportunity to run for it! [Yuri runs ahead of the Kanade clone and the dying Matsushita with the other SSS members following.]

Hinata

Yeah!

Fujimaki

Hang in there Matsushita the Fifth!

Matsushita

[Shouting] The rest is up to you guys!

Yuri

We won't let Matsushita's sacrifice be in vain. Thanks to him, we learned the best method is to keep moving. Angel is small, so pinning her down is the best strategy. No matter how strong Angel is, Judo lock should work on her. Looks like the day the Judo Matsushita taught us has finally come.

Takamatsu

Then we shall sacrifice just one person per clone. Is that not correct?

Otonashi

What do you mean "just"?

Yuri

Looks like we'll be able to save everyone if we can just save the original Angel. Let's hurry.

Otonashi

It's the fourth one...[TK walks in front of the group.]

It's my turn, dudes. Good-bye and good luck. [TK runs toward the Kanade clone, leaps above it, and is stabbed through the chest.]

TK!!!

Hinata

Hey! What gives?! It's like we're at the climax of a boy's comic book!

Yuri

Oh, knock it off! We need to keep moving! [The group encounters the fifth clone.]

Takamatsu

The time to show off my prowess has come. [He takes off his shirt and charges at the clone and gets killed.]

Takamatsu! [The group encounters the sixth clone.]

Fujimaki

Heh heh...I can't chicken out now. [Fujimaki charges at the clone and gets killed.]

Fujimaki! [The group encounters the seventh clone.]

Shiina

This is so stupid...[She charges at the clone.] This is just so stupid! [She gets stabbed by the clone.]

Shiina! [They encounter the eighth clone. Naoi hypnotizes Ōyama.]

Naoi

It's time you realized...You're a clown...Lookie, there in the darkness is a lonely little girl...

Ōyama

Oh, no! You're right. [Ōyama gleefully walks toward the Kanade clone.] I've gotta make her laugh!!! [Ōyama is killed by the clone.]

Hinata

Ōyama!!!

Otonashi

[At Naoi] You're horrible, you know that?

Naoi

[Nervous] Otonashi, you've got it wrong! Please hear me out! It was a figure of speech! I'll go next! [He gets killed by the ninth clone, but no one says anything.]

Hinata

Hey, someone say something...?

Nah, I don't even know his name.

Yuri

Let's go...

Takamatsu

[To Yuri] This is completely unprecedented. I've never seen someone like this before. There's a distinct possibility that she (Kanade) may never wake up.

Yuri

But that in itself would be irregular! She'll wake up! She'll wake up eventually and act as if she's merely overslept.

Shiina

But who will she be? When she awakens? [Everyone is surprised that Shiina actually spoke up during the meeting.]

Ōyama

That only proves how grave this situation is!

Yuri

[To Shiina] You're absolutely right. That's the real problem.

Fujimaki

So which Angel will it be?

Ōyama

The first one! I say the one we went fishing with!

Noda

Yeah, yeah. But the ones that attacked us before were cruel fighting fanatics.

Fujimaki

It's one-hundred to one mathematically speaking.

Hinata

So you're saying that's why she's unconscious? All those minds are gushed together in her tiny head? Wreaking all sorts of havoc like a horde of jellyfish attacking her mind or is it a gaggle?

Ōyama

So, assuming she wakes up, she might wake up as one-hundred different people?

Yuri

Statistically speaking, there's a one percent chance she'll be the same old her when she wakes up.

Hinata

What should we do?

Yuri

I have a plan. I sent Takeyama into Angel's domain. He's with some people who can translate the manual.

Hinata

Where's T.K. and Matsushita?

Yuri

The infirmary. They're guarding it.

Hinata

Surprisingly, T.K. stinks at English.

Naoi

Let's get this straight: so they're going to delete all the data, change the login password, and steal away all her abilities? But that's merely buying us time. Do you realize that?

Noda

[Wielding his halberd] Then why don't we just destroy the computer?

Yuri

There are plenty of replacement computers available in the computer room. Same for the software.

Fujimaki

Damn it, man!

Huh. Everyone seems really smart today. Did you eat something rotten?

Yuri

All we can do now is wait. I wonder who will God side with?

Yuri

Abnormalities are occurring in this world. An enemy aside from Angel has appeared. It's a direct description, but we call them "shadows". Unlike Angel, they can come and go at any time and attack indiscriminately. Anyone devoured by the shadows loses their soul and turns into an NPC who attends class daily. They are currently replicating without end. We don't know what created them and currently have no countermeasures. Just as Yusa told us, everyone should travel in groups for safety. Now then, in the middle of this crisis there are some in the Afterlife Battlefront who have adopted new ideals. They're attempting to lead the Battlefront down a different path. And that different path is a potential escape from the crisis plaguing our world. As such, I would like to ask...I would like to ask Otonashi to serve as representative and explain his viewpoint. [The crowd looks at Otonashi.]

Naoi

[To Otonashi] She figured it out.

Hinata

[To Otonashi, nudging him to the stage.] Go on. [Otonashi goes to the front of the stage and inaudibly tells the crowd what he had been doing with Kanade.]

Screw you! Cut the crap already!

Yeah! That couldn't happen in this world! That's too good to be true!

Hinata

It already happened! [Goes beside Otonashi] Yui managed to find it. Even someone like me who managed to die as a sorry excuse for a human. A sad loser like me was given a chance like that in this world.

Naoi

Same here. [Goes beside Otonashi and Hinata] But then, I'm God. Even so, Otonashi was the only one who helped me regain my human heart. He did it with a single word and heartfelt praise.

Yuri

I'll let everyone decide what to do for themselves.

And you? What will you do, Yurripe?

Yuri

Me? I've always done whatever I wanted to. I can't protect you this time. I'll simply do whatever I want. We don't have much time. Think this over on your own. That is all. You're dismissed.

-as such, you should memorize this. [Notices Yuri isn't paying attention to the lesson.] Nakamura, what are you looking at?

Hey, Yuri!

Yuri

Huh?

Alright, Nakamura. Read from the top of the next page for us. [Yuri stands up from her desk. There is a short pause.] Hm? What now?

Yuri

This is really wonderful.

What are you talking about?

Yuri

This is such a happy environment. It's too dazzling for me. This is the way people live their lives. Isn't it just beautiful? I'm envious. If I vanish now, could I start over anew? Could I accept normal happiness?

Nakamura?

Yuri?

Yuri

If I lost my memories...and got a different personality...I might be able to. But then, what does it mean to be reborn? That isn't the life I had anymore. It's someone else's life. Everyone only gets to live life one time [Yuri places her hand on her chest.], and it's right here. I only get it once. This is my life. I can't entrust it to someone, I can't steal a new one, I can't force it on others, I can't forget it or erase it. I can't stomp over it, laugh on it, or beautify it! I can't anything! I'd have to-I'd have to accept my one shot at life no matter how cruel, merciless, or unfair I thought it was! [Everyone in the class has disappeared, except for Yuri.] Sir, don't you understand? That is why I must fight. I must keep on fighting! Because...because I can never...[Slams her hands on her desk.] accept that kind of life!

Yuri

[To Otonashi] Where am I? What...

Otonashi

The infirmary.

Yuri

The infirmary? How come you're still here? How long was I out?

Kanade

Don't push yourself.

Yuri

I'm okay, Kanade.

Hinata

Well, you've been through a lot, Yurripe. A lot.

Naoi

I'm truly amazed you pulled off being our leader like you did.

Yuri

Even you're here. What are you doing here? Aren't the shadows gone? So there's nothing to keep you here.

Otonashi

Yeah, I know.

Yuri

Then why?

Otonashi

Because we have to help you. It's our job. [Yuri gasps] You're still here.

Yuri

Uh, me? [Chuckles] I see. How should I put this?

Otonashi

What is it?

Kanade

This is my theory: Yuri has overcome the emotional weight pulling her down. [Otonashi, Naoi, and Hinata are surprised. Yuri hides her face under her sheets in embarrassment.]

Otonashi

Is that true, Yuri?

Yuri

Eh?! Well, um, you see...I uh...

Naoi

Fine. I'll hypnotize you to- [Yuri drapes Naoi with her sheets.]

Yuri

Oh, hell no! You get away from me!

Hinata

We know what that reaction shows he hit: the bulls-eye.

Yuri

[Panicking] N-no! That's not true! It'd be a joke if your leader got over it that easily, right?! I mean, what kind of commander would I be if that happened?! [Naoi takes the bed sheet off his head.]

Naoi

Then I'll hypnotize you- [Yuri throws a pillow at him, sending him falling to the ground.]

Yuri

Fine! I'm perfectly at peace! Excuse me!

Hinata

[Gasps] She admitted it! [Yuri quickly turns away in embarrassment.]

Yuri

[After calming down] I swear, Kanade, you are such a tease.

Kanade

Yuri, you're just obstinate.

Yuri

Yeah, I know. I admit it. And I admit that I do feel kind of happy.

Kanade

About what?

Yuri

You called me "Yuri" just now.

Kanade

So?

Yuri

Well...It's like we're friends.

Kanade

Like we're friends? [Smiling] Yes, you're right.

Yuri

[Chuckles] Right now she [Referring to Kanade] should be confused as she watched all of this from the student council room's window. She's wondering why they aren't vanishing when they're so full with energy. It's perfect. Operation High Tension Syndrome is too perfect; it's a stroke of genius! [Starts chuckling, then laughs maniacally.]

[Over radio] Are you a villain?

Yuri

What are you doing? Trying to insult me?

Yuri

What is this place? [Notices Kanade]

Kanade

[Pulls a turnip from one of the allotments.] You're wonderful. You're cute.

Hinata

Isn't this...?

Takamatsu

Yes, it's a hydroponics.

Hey, Yurripe. I found this. [Shows a small sign in his hands saying "Gardening Club"]

Yuri

Wha...What?

Kanade

[To Yuri] Now, then. I left the meeting and the word "cute" made me remember the hydroponics turnip I'm tending for the discontinued garden club. So, let me ask you how you think I should go about reporting this to the student council?

Yuri

[Yelling] WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?!

Kanade

I see everyone's here.

Yuri

Why is there such tight security at the entrance?!

Kanade

Security? [The steel doors open behind Yuri and the other SSS members as more SSS members come into the hydroponic.]

Ōyama

Phew! We made it in! I can't believe all we had to do was hit the "open" button!

Yuri

Huh?! What about the password?!

Kanade

Password?

Yuri

Yeah! The one you hit on the keypad, stupid!

Kanade

I was calculating the remaining funds for the garden club.

Yuri

It...was a calculator? [Pause] As of now...the Afterlife Battlefront...[Shouting] MUST NOT EAT FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK!!! [All other SSS members complain.]

Sorry, guys...I've tried my hardest and fought with all my might to pull through and carry on your will, but I...think I hit...my...limit...[Collapses from hunger.]

[Lying down in the hallway due to hunger, speaking to Yuri over radio.] All of GirlDeMo's members are down...

Yuri

It's not like they'll die.

I have to say...your role as a villain matches you perfectly, Yurripe...[Passes out from hunger.]
