Short filmTranscript
00:00The movie starts in Japan with a student named Takahata.
00:03He stood out among his classmates because he was very smart.
00:06But due to his intelligence, he often felt bored with life
00:10and wished for a challenge to bring some excitement.
00:12His wish suddenly comes true while he's in class.
00:15As the teacher is writing on the board, his head suddenly explodes
00:19and in its place appears a strange toy called Daruma, which starts talking.
00:25This toy challenges the students to a deadly game.
00:28If Daruma turns its face toward the students and sees anyone move,
00:32that student's head will explode instantly.
00:35But when Daruma turns its back, the students are free to move.
00:39As Daruma turns around and catches a student moving, it kills him.
00:43Anyone who panics and runs also dies immediately.
00:47The toy keeps repeating its name and the remaining students are paralyzed with fear,
00:52wondering what to do.
00:53Every time Daruma kills a student, small red balls come out of their body
00:58Two students try to escape by running toward the door while Daruma's back is turned,
01:03but they find it locked.
01:05As Daruma turns again, it kills both of them.
01:08The class erupts in screams of terror, but one student named Sakaki tries to calm everyone down.
01:14He tells them he knows this game.
01:16It's the Daruma game, and they're trapped until it kills them all.
01:20However, there's a button on Daruma's back, and if someone presses it, the challenge ends.
01:24One student makes a risky move, trying to press the button, but Daruma senses it,
01:30quickly turns around, and kills him.
01:32This reveals Daruma's strategy.
01:34It speaks slowly to trick the students, but when it senses movement, it turns quickly.
01:39The students notice a timer on Daruma's back.
01:42They have just one minute, and if it runs out, they'll all die.
01:45They rush toward Daruma, trying to reach the button,
01:48but some slip on the red balls on the floor and get killed as Daruma turns.
01:52The classroom is soon full of corpses and only ten seconds remain.
01:56The only two students left are Takahata and Sakaki.
01:59They come up with a plan.
02:01Sakaki crouches down, and Takahata uses his back to jump and reach the button.
02:05In the final second, Takahata succeeds and hits the button.
02:08Daruma falls over, frustrated that it lost the challenge.
02:12Takahata and Sakaki celebrate surviving, but suddenly, Sakaki's head explodes.
02:17Daruma tells Takahata that only the person who presses the button wins the challenge.
02:22Takahata is stunned.
02:24Daruma also tells him,
02:25The cat is coming next, hinting at the next game.
02:28Suddenly, the classroom door opens, and Takahata's friend Ichika appears, clearly in shock.
02:34Takahata rushes to her, asking if she's okay.
02:37Ichika explains she also went through a Daruma challenge,
02:41and when she pressed the button, all her classmates died.
02:45Takahata says the same happened to him, and suggests they call the police.
02:49But when he checks his phone, there's no signal.
02:52They try to run out of the school, but all the doors are locked, and even the windows can't be
02:56broken.
02:57Eventually, they find one door that opens and leads to the gym.
03:01As soon as they enter, the door slams shut behind them.
03:05They're trapped again, but they're not alone.
03:07Other students are there, some dressed in mouse costumes.
03:11Takahata realizes this is a new challenge.
03:13On the floor, it says,
03:15Put the ball in the basket to win.
03:17Suddenly, the ground shakes, and a giant cat statue appears.
03:21It immediately eats one of the students in a mouse costume,
03:24and starts chasing others in similar outfits.
03:27This game is even harder than the last one.
03:30Students run in fear, as the cat heads toward Takahata and Ichika,
03:34but doesn't eat them because they're not wearing mouse costumes.
03:37Ichika spots a ball rolling on the floor, and Takahata sees a hoop on the giant cat's body.
03:43He realizes the goal is to throw the ball into the hoop.
03:46He tells the others, and a skilled basketball player asks Ichika to pass him the ball.
03:50He throws it, and it's about to go in, but the cat blocks it, grabs the ball,
03:56and throws it back with such force that the player crashes into a wall and dies.
04:00The cat then looks at Takahata, but doesn't eat him,
04:03focusing only on students wearing mouse costumes.
04:06Takahata figures this out and warns everyone to take off the costumes.
04:10They do, and think they're now safe.
04:12But suddenly, the cat starts moving again and begins eating anyone, costume or not.
04:17Students run in terror across the gym.
04:20Ichika finds the ball near her and sees there's a countdown on it with only three minutes left.
04:25The cat approaches her to eat her, and when Takahata sees his friend in danger,
04:28he quickly puts on a mouse costume to distract the cat.
04:31The cat chases Takahata instead, giving Ichika a chance to escape.
04:36Takahata keeps dodging the cat, running left and right, and begs someone to throw him the ball,
04:41but everyone is too scared after what happened to the basketball player.
04:44Suddenly, Takahata starts hearing strange sounds.
04:48Because he's wearing the mouse costume, he can now understand what the cat is saying.
04:52It turns out, the cat just wants someone to scratch its back so it can sleep.
04:56After Takahata understood what the cat wanted, he climbed onto its back,
05:01grabbed the rope, and began scratching the cat's back.
05:04As he did this, the cat relaxed and stopped attacking anyone.
05:08It seemed to enjoy the attention and wanted Takahata to keep scratching.
05:12He called on the other students to come and help him.
05:15Ichika joined in to assist, and when the rest of the students saw that this action worked,
05:20they also climbed onto the cat's back and copied Takahata.
05:23As a result, the cat gradually fell asleep, and eventually, it was completely asleep.
05:29Takahata grabbed the ball and got ready to throw it into the basket.
05:32But suddenly, all the students rushed toward him, each one wanting to be the one to throw the ball.
05:38They feared that only the person who made the shot would survive,
05:41so they began arguing and fighting over who should throw it.
05:44Their loud voices woke the cat, which immediately lashed out with its claws and killed two of the students.
05:51Takahata realized there was no time to try to put the cat back to sleep again.
05:55He quickly came up with a clever plan.
05:58He took a torn basketball and asked Ichika to grab the cat's special ball
06:02and go into the changing room to disguise it.
06:05A few moments later, the two returned, each carrying a ball wrapped in the mouse costume fabric.
06:10They approached the cat from opposite sides, causing confusion.
06:14The cat didn't know which ball was the real one,
06:16but Takahata accidentally revealed that he was holding an ordinary basketball,
06:20and the cat figured out that Ichika had the real one.
06:23It blocked her throw, just as Takahata had planned.
06:27While the cat was distracted by Ichika's ball, Takahata threw his ball,
06:31which turned out to contain the real cat ball inside it.
06:34Unfortunately, the ball didn't go into the basket, and everyone thought they had lost the challenge.
06:39But suddenly, another student appeared from behind the cat, a boy named Amaya.
06:43He jumped and made the shot in the final second.
06:45The ball landed in the basket, and the cat completely stopped, announcing the end of the game.
06:50Moments later, it reactivated and declared the winners Takahata, Ichika, and Amaya.
06:56No other names were mentioned.
06:58Takahata was confused and wondered what would happen to the rest of the students.
07:02Suddenly, Amaya began killing all the students who had lost.
07:05He was clearly insane and believed in a world where only the strong deserved to live.
07:10He approached Takahata and Ichika, saying that since they were the winners,
07:15they were the only ones who deserved to survive.
07:18Ichika called him crazy and said he shouldn't compare himself to them.
07:22Amaya was angered by this and moved toward her, but Takahata stepped in and stopped him.
07:27Then, the cat sprayed a white mist, and all three of them vanished.
07:31The news began to report that similar challenges were happening in schools all around the world.
07:36Over 10 million students had died, and broadcasters were trying to cover up the disappearances.
07:42Some journalists claimed the events were caused by aliens.
07:45Massive floating cubes had appeared in the sky, and inside the Japanese cube, Takahata found himself,
07:52along with a girl he recognized from another school, his old friend Tokusa.
07:57They had once been in a relationship.
07:59Alongside Tokusa were two other students from different schools, Tiara and Taka.
08:04All three had survived both the Daruma and Cat challenges in their schools.
08:08Takahata noticed something odd.
08:11All the students in this new place had names that started with the letter T.
08:15He assumed that the survivors were being grouped into different factions based on the first letter
08:20of their names.
08:21He began to worry that Ichika and Amaya might be in the same group,
08:25because their names started with the same letter.
08:28However, the door to the group he was in was locked, so there was nothing he could do.
08:32He started banging on the door, hoping someone might hear him.
08:35He was interrupted by a student named Tiara, who was incredibly smart and arrogant.
08:40Tiara told him that no one would come to help them, and showed him a 3D projection of the news
08:45coverage about the ongoing events.
08:47Takahata realized he was now inside one of the floating cubes that had appeared around the world.
08:53Tiara explained that they were trapped there, and had no choice but to wait for the next challenge.
08:57Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and 4 strange floating puppets entered the room.
09:03They announced that it was time for the 3rd challenge, and it would be even harder than the previous ones.
09:09One of the puppets asked Tiara to be the first to play.
09:12Overconfident in his abilities, Tiara agreed.
09:15The puppets explained the rules.
09:17Tiara would sit on the floor, blindfolded, while the puppets floated around him, singing.
09:22When the song ended, they would ask, who is standing behind you?
09:27Tiara, nervous, gave the wrong answer.
09:29As a result, he lost.
09:31One of the puppets fired a laser that gave them full control over Tiara's body.
09:36They made him slam his head into the ground, over and over, until he died.
09:41After Tiara's brutal death, the puppets called on Takahata to take her turn.
09:45She was terrified, and refused to play.
09:47The puppets warned her that if she didn't participate, she would die immediately.
09:51With no other option, Takahata agreed to play.
09:54She was blindfolded, and the puppets circled around her, singing again.
09:58When they asked her the same question, who is behind you?
10:01She was too scared to answer in time.
10:03The puppets declared her a loser.
10:05She tried to escape, but the puppets surrounded her.
10:08One puppet fired its laser, which forced her legs open.
10:12They began pulling her apart, until her bones broke and her body was torn to pieces.
10:16The puppets then turned to Tokusa, and selected her as the next player.
10:20But before she could respond, Takahata stepped forward and shouted,
10:24I want to play instead of her!
10:26The dolls agree, and Takahata begins the game.
10:29They sing around him, then stop and ask,
10:31Who's standing behind you?
10:33To everyone's surprise, Takahata answers correctly.
10:36The dolls are shocked, and ask how he knew.
10:38He replies,
10:39I memorized your movements when I saw you playing with Taka and Tiara.
10:43They leave the room with the key in hand.
10:45They see one of the students running with a key while being chased by one of the dolls.
10:49The student warns them, saying,
10:51We have to hold hands.
10:53This doll kills students who are standing alone.
10:56When the doll sees them holding hands,
10:57it backs off and leaves to look for another student who's alone.
11:01Now, Takahata's group has two keys.
11:04They hear a noise and head in its direction.
11:06It turns out the sound is coming from Ichika, who's being chased by the doll.
11:10Takahata leaves the group and rushes to save her, grabbing her hand at the last second before
11:15the doll can kill her.
11:16Then a large wooden head appears on the wall, with a countdown timer and seven key slots.
11:22The head says that seven people must insert the seven keys.
11:25Takahata's group meets two more students, who also have two keys, making it six people with four keys.
11:32They need one more person and three more keys, with only two minutes left.
11:36Suddenly, someone throws the remaining three keys in front of them.
11:40It's Amaya, and he's accompanied by another student.
11:43Since there are eight of them now, Amaya kills the student with him to reduce the count to seven.
11:48He says,
11:49I only needed him to hold my hand so the doll wouldn't kill me.
11:53Takahata didn't want Amaya to join them, but he has no choice.
11:57They insert the seven keys into the wooden head, which announces the challenge is complete,
12:01and tells them to change their clothes.
12:03Then the head disappears, and a tunnel opens for them.
12:06They pass through it and arrive at the next area, which is entirely covered in snow.
12:11Suddenly, the ground starts shaking, and a white polar bear appears, performing an elaborate show.
12:16Then the bear says,
12:18I hate lies.
12:19He explains that the next challenge is based on truth.
12:22He will ask them questions, and they must answer honestly.
12:26If someone lies, the group has to identify them, or choose someone to sacrifice to move on.
12:31The bear asks the first question,
12:34What is your favorite food?
12:36The team finds this question easy, and each person answers.
12:39But the bear says,
12:40I smell a lie.
12:42He gives them two minutes to identify the liar or sacrifice someone.
12:46Suspicion falls on one student who said,
12:48My favorite food is vegetables, because vegetables aren't a full meal.
12:53The student insists,
12:54I'm not lying.
12:55I really love vegetables.
12:57But the team chooses to sacrifice him.
12:59The bear crushes him and kills him.
13:01The second question is,
13:03Do you love Takahata?
13:05Since Ichika and Tokusa have feelings for him, they both answer,
13:09Yes.
13:09Amaya also says,
13:11Yes, as do the others.
13:13But the bear says,
13:14One of you is lying.
13:16Ichika immediately accuses Amaya, saying he doesn't care about anyone.
13:20They argue, and Takahata wonders why anyone would lie if the bear would know.
13:24The bear praises Takahata, saying,
13:27You discovered the truth.
13:28One of you is an alien disguised as a human and has been lying since the start.
13:32You must identify and eliminate them, or you'll all die.
13:36One student accuses Tokusa, arguing,
13:39It can't be me or my friend.
13:41We're from the same school.
13:42Takahata, Ichika, and Amaya are from the same school too.
13:46You're the only one different, so we have to sacrifice you.
13:49Takahata and Ichika defend her, but time runs out.
13:53The students from the same school as the accuser, along with Amaya, vote against Tokusa.
13:59Majority wins, and the bear crushes and kills her.
14:02Takahata is devastated by the death of his old love.
14:05All that remains of Tokusa is a pool of blood.
14:09The bear prepares to ask the next question, but Takahata stops him, saying,
14:13I know who the liar is.
14:15The bear is surprised and listens.
14:17Takahata shocks everyone by pointing at the bear and accusing him of being the liar.
14:21He explains,
14:23Tokusa helped me figure it out.
14:25Her blood wiped off the white powder you sprayed on yourself.
14:28Your true color is black.
14:30You were the liar and the deceiver all along.
14:32No one who died was actually lying.
14:34The bear becomes enraged at being exposed and tries to attack the students.
14:39They flee until the bear falls into a hot area.
14:42His body melts, and the white coating dissolves.
14:45Finally, he admits defeat and announces their victory.
14:47The team moves to a new location for the next and final challenge.
14:52A small doll enters, welcomes them, and announces,
14:55This is the final challenge.
14:57One of you will be chosen, and their name will be Okuma.
15:00Ikuma will take this box and place it inside the red circle on the ground.
15:05During that time, the rest of the students must go and hide.
15:08Then, Ikuma will start searching for them.
15:10Whenever he sees someone, he'll shout their name loudly and drag them to the prison cell.
15:15That means Okuma has caught that person.
15:18If Okuma manages to imprison three or more students, he wins.
15:22However, if any free student manages to kick the box, all imprisoned students will be released.
15:27But there's a catch.
15:28The box contains a bomb.
15:30So if someone kicks it, the bomb will explode and that person will die.
15:34In other words, they'll be sacrificing themselves so the others can live.
15:38The last thing the dolls announce is that the challenge won't end until sunset,
15:42which is about an hour away.
15:44If the time runs out and Okuma hasn't caught at least three students, he loses.
15:49After the rules are explained,
15:51one of the dolls pulls out five sticks to choose the student who will become Okuma.
15:55Unfortunately for the others, the one chosen is Amaya,
15:58the most insane and cruel student of them all.
16:01The game begins.
16:02All the students scatter and hide.
16:04Amaya picks up the box, places it in the red circle and runs off to start hunting.
16:10He easily finds the two students from the other school.
16:13They try to fight back, but Amaya is stronger and defeats them, locking them in the cell.
16:18Takahata and Ichika witness this from a distance,
16:21but Amaya also spots them and heads directly toward their location.
16:25Takahata decides to act.
16:27He ties a rope to escape through the window, but Amaya arrives quickly,
16:30and Ichika realizes they won't make it in time.
16:33She sacrifices herself to stall Amaya and lets him catch her.
16:38After capturing Ichika, Amaya rushes back to catch Takahata, but Takahata manages to flee.
16:44Knowing that Amaya will now guard the box, Takahata hides instead of running far.
16:49Amaya calls out to him loudly, pretending to offer a deal.
16:53I already caught three people, we can both win, he says.
16:56But Takahata doesn't believe him, he knows it's a lie.
16:59He searches the area and finds a suit of armor.
17:02He puts it on to protect himself from the explosion in case he kicks the box.
17:06But the armor is heavy, restricting his movement, and Takahata looks ridiculous.
17:10He even drops his sword and retreats to the edge of the castle, completely defenseless.
17:15Amaya removes his helmet and mocks him, but is shocked when he realizes that Takahata has chained him.
17:21It turns out everything that happened was part of Takahata's plan.
17:25When Amaya removed his helmet, Takahata managed to tie the chain around him,
17:29keeping him from reaching the box.
17:31Takahata begins to speak, reflecting,
17:34I used to find life boring and wanted change.
17:37But after all these games, I realized the value of the life I had.
17:41I was foolish not to appreciate it.
17:43These games made me lose my friends.
17:46Then Takahata jumps off the castle, dragging Amaya down with him.
17:49On the ground, Takahata emerges from the armor and rushes back up,
17:53while Amaya struggles to drag the heavy suit off and free himself from the chain.
17:58Takahata reaches the roof and moves toward the box to kick it.
18:01But he's exhausted and barely moving.
18:04Just as Amaya breaks free, he tries to stop him, but Takahata manages to kick the box.
18:09Everyone holds their breath, fearing the explosion.
18:11But nothing happens.
18:13It turns out there was no bomb in the box at all.
18:15Moments later, the sun sets, ending the challenge.
18:18The dolls reappear and declare Takahata the winner.
18:22They admit they lied about the bomb just to make the game more thrilling.
18:26Amaya is frustrated with his loss, thinking he was about to die.
18:30But the dolls reveal that the final challenge was just a game.
18:33No one will actually die.
18:35Fireworks light up the sky as the students celebrate surviving.
18:39The dolls hand them all ice cream as a reward for winning.
18:43Takahata eats his ice cream and chats with Ichika about what they'll do once they leave.
18:47After talking for a while, Takahata notices something written on his ice cream stick,
18:53but ignores it.
18:54However, Ichika reads the message on hers and begins to cry.
18:57Written on it were the words,
18:59You lost, you will die.
19:01The dolls speak again, revealing that every challenge tested skill and intelligence,
19:06but in the end, fate decides who lives and who dies.
19:10They explain that each ice cream stick reveals the fate of its holder.
19:14Ichika's fate is to die.
19:16Takahata checks his own.
19:18His fate is to live.
19:19So does Amaya.
19:20The other two students, however, are also marked for death.
19:24Once fates are revealed, the dolls fire lasers at Ichika and the other two students,
19:29vaporizing and killing them instantly.
19:31And so, all the challenges and games come to an end.
19:35Takahata and Amaya are transported to the top of the flying cube above Japan,
19:40where people cheer for them as the survivors.
19:42But Takahata is devastated.
19:45He has lost his beloved Ichika.
