[00:06] so.
[00:23] if i may.
[00:24] i'd like to pose an interesting question.
[00:27] are all human beings truly equal?
[00:31] these days everywhere you go there's talk about the fight for equality.
[00:35] as a wise man once said.
[00:37] heaven does not create one person above or below another.
[00:41] people like to throw his words around.
[00:44] that's not the whole quote.
[00:45] he goes on to say that while we are all equal at birth pretty soon things begin to change.
[00:51] academic effort is what sets some people apart to rise above the others.
[00:57] at any rate humans change over time based on their actions.
[01:02] truth be told at the end of the day.
[01:03] equality is just a fantasy.
[01:06] and most of us go through life denying the fact that we live in a meritocracy.
[01:11] um excuse me sir would you be willing to give up your seat.
[01:17] um that is priority seating after all so it would only be right for you to let this older woman sit there.
[01:23] my my you're a pretty girl i understand that this is priority seating honey but there's no law forcing me to give it up.
[01:30] you think i should have to stand up just because i'm still young.
[01:34] what a bunch of ageist nonsense.
[01:37] sure i'm younger than her but standing uses way more energy than sitting.
[01:42] tell me why must i sacrifice my health for this lady's sake.
[01:44] because you'd be contributing to the greater good of humanity and just take a look at her.
[01:51] she's having trouble staying upright.
[01:53] i have zero interest in contributing to the greater good.
[01:57] and anyway.
[01:58] there are plenty of other jerks on this bus who could give up their seats.
[02:02] Furthermore, I don't see much difference between a priority seat and a regular one.
[02:06] So ask someone else to be a hero to tell the truth.
[02:09] Dear, I don't mind standing, don't worry, but thank you all the same.
[02:17] Excuse me, would anyone on this bus be willing to give up their seats?
[02:20] This sweet lady over here.
[02:30] I'll stand, thank you very much, ma'am.
[02:57] Well, this is it, my new school.
[03:02] Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing.
[03:04] high school established by the government to raise students who have been deemed our country's future leaders.
[03:10] movers and shakers if you will.
[03:12] and it works too.
[03:15] it boasts 100 college entry and employment rates using experimental state-derived teaching methods.
[03:19] they pull out all the stops to build a bright future for japan.
[03:25] hey you i noticed you staring at me on the bus earlier.
[03:27] why was that?
[03:28] oh.
[03:32] i'm sorry.
[03:33] i was just curious because well you didn't want to give up your seat either.
[03:38] i was wondering if like me you'd rather stay out of it.
[03:42] i'm nothing like you.
[03:44] in my case i stayed silent as a matter of principle.
[03:46] uh-huh.
[03:48] that makes her worse than me.
[03:50] if that's all goodbye.
[03:59] and now a few words from our student council president.
[04:04] thank you for the introduction.
[04:08] Newcomers as a representative of the upperclassmen and your student council president, I extend a warm welcome to you all.
[04:17] As I am sure you're aware, our school is known for its prestige and distinction on all fronts and boasts impeccable employment and college entry rates across the board.
[04:24] We take pride in this.
[04:27] In fact, it's our school's number one priority and we all work together to uphold the standard of excellence.
[04:32] Now, you are a part of that too.
[04:34] We expect greatness from all of you and we know you.
[04:37] Okay, we're even in the same class.
[04:38] Success here hinges entirely on merit, so you alone control your path.
[04:44] Wow, me too, so what's your favorite genre?
[04:47] Romance, I bet, huh?
[04:49] Romance is my favorite.
[04:51] How could you have known?
[04:53] Seriously?
[04:53] It is definitely mine.
[04:55] My favorite genre is definitely mystery.
[04:58] Mystery, it keeps me on the edge of my seat right here.
[05:00] She has the seat next to me.
[05:02] An annoying coincidence.
[05:05] That feeling's mutual.
[05:05] Hey guys.
[05:07] Listen up for a sec.
[05:09] We should go around the room and introduce ourselves, start to get familiar with each other.
[05:12] I'd like to get to know you guys, plus the teacher isn't here yet, so we might as well.
[05:17] Does that sound okay?
[05:19] Hi, then yeah, that sounds like fun, I agree.
[05:23] I mean, how else are we all going to get acquainted?
[05:24] I'm glad to hear it.
[05:27] Well, I guess I'll go first then.
[05:29] I'm Yosuke Hirata, but you can just call me Yosuke if you want.
[05:33] I play every sport imaginable and I'm gonna try out for the school soccer team for sure.
[05:38] Thanks, nice to meet you all.
[05:40] That was great.
[05:41] I bet that guy's going to be the leader in class.
[05:43] Okay, I guess I'll go next.
[05:46] Hi, my name is.
[05:48] To become friends with every person in the entire school.
[05:51] That obviously includes everyone here, so if you're going out, please consider inviting me.
[06:00] She'll have no trouble reaching that goal.
[06:02] She's got that everyone's friend vibe going on.
[06:04] What you might call a ladies man, but I shouldn't be focused on her at a time like this.
[06:11] these introductions are going to determine everyone's standing in class.
[06:16] should i try to crack a joke?
[06:18] i bet.
[06:25] anyway it's not like i have any real interests or hobbies to speak of.
[06:29] kind of like a free agent a blank slate.
[06:32] next up how about you?
[06:37] who me?
[06:41] now getting out of this one i'd better muster up the energy to stand up and say something for the sake of my reputation.
[06:53] i'm kia taka aya nakoji.
[06:57] i can't wait to study with you.
[07:03] i'm not really good at anything in particular.
[07:06] i'll do my best to get along with you all.
[07:14] I blew it.
[07:17] I and Okojie, well, it's nice to meet you.
[07:19] I can't wait to be friends.
[07:24] She just laughed at me.
[07:24] Okay, who's next?
[07:28] Introductions are for grade schoolers.
[07:30] What are we, a bunch of babies?
[07:30] Get to know each other on your own time.
[07:35] Let's get started.
[07:36] Find your seats, everyone.
[07:43] I'm Sai Chabashira, the homeroom teacher for Class 1D.
[07:47] At this school, you will not change classes ever for the next three years.
[07:52] I'll be responsible for you until graduation.
[07:54] For our first order of business, the school rule book.
[07:56] Take one and pass them back.
[08:02] We have some rather unique rules at this institution.
[08:06] First, you must all live in the dorms.
[08:08] Your contact with the outside world will be restricted, as will your time away from the campus.
[08:14] For anyone concerned, the school offers a
[08:17] wide variety of facilities.
[08:19] anything you could need or want can be found here.
[08:22] including leisure and entertainment.
[08:25] to make purchases you will spend your points which are tracked using the school's main computer system.
[08:30] at this school you can buy absolutely anything on campus with these points.
[08:35] are distributed to you on the first of each month.
[08:36] each point is worth one yen.
[08:40] if you'll all check your devices you'll notice that you've already been allotted one hundred thousand.
[08:44] we what are you kidding me?
[08:50] i see you're all surprised by the size of your allotment.
[08:52] this school judges its students based on their merit alone.
[08:57] you've all shown immense value just getting into this school.
[08:59] we've allotted you what we think you are worth.
[09:05] thank you very much come again.
[09:06] it really does work exactly like money.
[09:11] 25 students per class and 4 classes per grade that makes 300 of us in all.
[09:17] if each kid gets 100 000 a month that's 360 million per year
[09:23] how can the government afford to pay for all this
[09:30] another annoying coincidence it seems
[09:32] you don't have to be so prickly
[09:37] well since we have to sit by each other we should attempt to get along
[09:41] what's your name
[09:45] really you won't even share with me that much
[09:48] so you got a problem with that
[09:49] no but it would make things weird for the next three years to sit next to you i'd never know your name
[09:59] it's suzune horikita
[10:01] borikita
[10:03] like the guy you spoke earlier
[10:09] why are you buying all cheap stuff
[10:11] you've got lots of money
[10:13] you could stand to buy more expenses
[10:16] i told you i don't need that stuff
[10:20] you're weird you aren't very good at interacting with people.
[10:25] no conversation skills.
[10:27] yeah i know.
[10:28] but you don't seem to be much better than i am.
[10:30] that's true but i'm not the one who said they were going to work hard to get along with everyone else.
[10:38] these are free.
[10:39] maybe that's for people who use up all their points before the first of the month i guess.
[10:42] how could one use up a hundred thousand points.
[10:44] the school is too and don't think you're better than me.
[10:49] maybe you are in class 1d, aren't you?
[10:52] yeah, what the hell does it matter to you guys?
[10:54] hey now that's no way to talk to your elders.
[10:57] you better learn some respect and fast.
[10:58] shut up huh.
[11:02] wait, isn't that guy in our class?
[11:03] maybe but i won't get involved.
[11:05] it's beneath my dignity.
[11:09] we'll let it slide this time.
[11:11] class d has already got it bad.
[11:13] if we knocked you down a peg you'd fall right off.
[11:15] don't you run away from me.
[11:18] go ahead, scream your head off if you want.
[11:20] you people are already in for a world of
[11:22] pain a world of pain those damn whips
[11:48] not long after that the glass began to split up into clicks together
[11:53] today i'm sorry i can't
[11:57] i've got too much this beauty was a mere 80 000 points
[11:59] we get a hundred thousand more soon so it was a steal yeah
[12:03] i've got tons of games this is awesome an adorable pair
[12:09] stop by of earrings
[12:10] let's shop for clubs too unlike everyone else i failed to make any friends
[12:15] you're pathetic
[12:18] yeah well you're alone too
[12:20] that's true but i for one prefer to be
[12:23] alone.
[12:28] I'm gonna hit up the cafeteria.
[12:32] Um, your name is Ayano Kochi, isn't it?
[12:35] Yeah.
[12:36] And you're Kishida.
[12:39] I'm so impressed you remembered my name too.
[12:41] Thanks.
[12:43] Yeah.
[12:44] Guess I did.
[12:46] So, um, could we talk for a second?
[12:57] The reason I stopped you is that you and Horikita seem really close.
[13:02] Well, I wouldn't go that far.
[13:03] Really? But you're the only person in school that she talks to ever.
[13:08] It's my goal to become friends with everyone at school, even outside her class.
[13:12] So I asked Horikita for her phone number to maybe call her sometime, but she turned me down.
[13:17] She said she doesn't want to be friends with anyone.
[13:20] Yeah, I think that's just how she is, but
[13:24] i still want to be friends with horikita
[13:26] in spite of all of that do you think
[13:28] that you could help me with her
[13:28] help you
[13:31] i don't know
[13:32] what do you mean you won't
[13:37] the head of the yamato government was known as the okimi
[13:39] he controlled the powerful families of each region using the uji kabane system
[13:44] uji referred to groups of families who shared the same bloodline
[13:48] while kabane referred to an individual's post and status
[13:51] it was a system in which pedigree determined one's place
[13:58] that's all for today
[13:59] look over the material for tomorrow
[14:12] this school is incredibly indulgent
[14:15] these kids play around and sleep in class but the teachers never even bother to do anything
[14:20] i can't believe the government has the goal to dub this an elite school
[14:24] maybe they're just trying to encourage
[14:25] individual autonomy.
[14:28] Perhaps.
[14:31] Hey.
[14:32] If you're just gonna head home, would you mind coming somewhere with me first?
[14:36] What are you trying to pull?
[14:38] It's an invitation. Why would that suggest an ulterior motive?
[14:40] If you'll be honest and tell me what you really want, maybe I'll be willing to hear you out.
[14:46] You know that big cafe in the mall, the coffee place where all the girls like to hang out?
[14:50] Would you be willing to go there with me right now?
[14:53] Why me of all people?
[14:55] I'm just not brave enough to go in there alone.
[14:58] That place kind of has a no boys allowed vibe.
[15:01] And there's no one else you can ask.
[15:03] Well, no, I suppose there isn't.
[15:06] That's to admit it, but you're right about that.
[15:22] Is it always so packed?
[15:22] So this is your first time coming here too?
[15:24] Oh, right.
[15:27] you're a loner trying to insult me how
[15:29] childish uh
[15:32] that table just opened up
[15:37] hey i wonder you think the other people
[15:39] in here see us well you know as a couple
[15:43] never mind probably not
[15:46] the impending confrontation is tying my
[15:48] stomach into knots i feel sick
[15:51] huh hurry kita
[15:53] what a coincidence in the yano koji too
[15:57] so do you two come here together often
[15:59] no this is our first time oh that's cool
[16:02] well i'm here by myself i'm leaving
[16:05] you are it literally just sat down but
[16:08] kushi does here now so you don't need me
[16:10] to stay do you i guess not but kushida
[16:13] and i are just classmates we don't know
[16:15] each other and how is that any different
[16:17] than what you and i are on top of that
[16:20] something seems fishy here and i don't
[16:23] like it
[16:24] what oh come on it's a coincidence
[16:27] nice try but the correct response would have been what's that supposed to mean
[16:31] the girls who are at this table and the two at the next one over is it coincidence there in our class
[16:38] honestly
[16:39] wow i didn't even notice i'm impressed that you recognized them
[16:43] you and i came straight here immediately after class ended we came in and then they left though they couldn't have been here for longer than a couple of minutes
[16:52] it doesn't make any sense
[16:59] sorry
[17:00] yeah you're right we set you up i thought so holy kitten please be my friend that's all i wanted from this
[17:08] well what i want is for you to leave me alone you two should both know that you're wasting your time
[17:14] but i i don't understand won't you be lonely all by yourself
[17:19] being alone is not synonymous with being lonely
[17:22] like i said it's a waste every sound coming out of your mouth repulses me
[17:27] are you sure about this?
[17:29] do you really want to spend the next three years of your life that way?
[17:32] if you don't make friends you'll be isolated.
[17:35] i've been completely alone for the past nine years.
[17:38] so it's another three to me it hardly matters.
[17:43] sorry i kind of think i might have made horikita hate you and that was the last thing i wanted.
[17:47] nah don't worry about it.
[17:52] maybe she and i will never be friends.
[17:55] that makes me sad.
[17:59] if i can't even make friends with all my classmates my coal seems unattainable.
[18:04] personally i think horikita is an exception.
[18:09] over there is from class 1b.
[18:11] we became friends yesterday.
[18:15] you're friends with kids in other classes.
[18:17] i can't even imagine that.
[18:20] there are so many really nice people in class b.
[18:23] you know this school is pretty amazing.
[18:26] don't you think?
[18:27] all the different shops and the fact
[18:28] that we get a hundred thousand yen every month
[18:31] i don't know that amount seems kind of excessive in my opinion
[18:35] yeah i'm glad you think so too
[18:38] and calling them points makes them entirely too easy to spend to be honest
[18:42] it's skewing my money sense
[18:48] i'm going to have to budget tightly to avoid overspending
[18:52] i mean i'll buy the things i need obviously the toiletries i use every day like soap and toothpaste
[18:57] and on the panties
[19:01] yeah horikito is saying something similar huh
[19:05] oh so you even know all about how she spends her money
[19:09] you two really are friends aren't you
[19:11] no i just happen to be there
[19:14] whoa she's standing so close
[19:21] well we'll just have to leave it at that
[19:24] but it happens to be the truth
[19:39] one hundred thousand.
[19:41] huh.
[19:44] most students decided to make the most of their circumstances without giving much thought to anything at all.
[19:50] day in and day out they blew through their monthly allowance like it was nothing buying whatever they wanted.
[19:56] the teacher never disciplined so conversations in class sleeping on desks tardiness and downright truancy became the norm.
[20:04] extravagance.
[20:06] debauchery.
[20:07] and lethargy ran rampant.
[20:10] and suddenly on may 1st everything changed.
[20:14] huh.
[20:14] what's going on.
[20:16] hold on.
[20:16] yours hasn't either.
[20:16] what's the deal here.
[20:23] take your seats class.
[20:24] morning homeroom begins now.
[20:29] hey teacher.
[20:30] nobody here has gotten any more points yet.
[20:32] it's the first of the month.
[20:34] shouldn't they have already been refilled by now.
[20:37] of course.
[20:38] this month's allotment has already been.
[20:40] distributed
[20:41] uh
[20:42] mine aren't there
[20:44] as i said the points have been allocated
[20:46] i am certain about that and i know for a
[20:49] fact that this class has not been
[20:51] overlooked by the administration what
[20:52] about our points nobody in this class
[20:55] got any how are we
[21:00] a whole class comprised of morons you're
[21:02] all pathetic
[21:05] a combined total of 98 tardies and
[21:08] absences
[21:09] 391 documented cases of cell phone use
[21:12] and or talking during instruction
[21:15] impressive figures for the first month
[21:17] of the school year at this school your
[21:19] grades and performance evaluations
[21:21] aren't handed out they're reflected in
[21:23] your monthly points allotment your
[21:25] unconscionable behavior and that alone
[21:28] has resulted in the withholding of your
[21:30] points allowance for this month the
[21:32] points allotted to this class for the
[21:33] month comes out to a total of zero
[21:37] no way i have to live on no money this
[21:39] whole month hang on that's not fair it's
[21:42] just that you should have told us
[21:46] did it never occur to you to question
[21:47] your circumstances your only children
[21:50] why would you be given such an
[21:52] extravagant sum didn't you think there'd
[21:54] be a catch your assumptions were wrong
[21:57] and now you must all pay the price if
[21:59] you did have doubts why then did you
[22:02] refuse to act upon them
[22:05] i told you on the first day of class
[22:07] didn't i i was perfectly clear this
[22:10] school judges its students on merit
[22:12] alone so
[22:14] as it stands now
[22:16] we think you're all garbage
[22:19] you're worth nothing so you get nothing
[22:25] [Music]
[23:16] oh
[23:18] [Music]
[23:32] foreign
[23:35] [Music]
[23:55] [Applause]
[23:58] foreign
[24:00] [Applause]
[24:01] [Music]
