Chained Soldier 04
As his school days draw to an end, Yuuki Wakura worries about his future. While lamenting the prospect of living an ordinary life, he is suddenly drawn into the world of Mato: an alternate dimension filled with dangerous monsters called Shuuki. Over the years since the existence of Mato was first confirmed, incidents of people accidentally wandering into the other world have become commonplace. To combat the threat of the Shuuki and rescue victims like Yuuki, the all-female Demon Defense Force was established. Its members have been blessed with the power of "Peaches"—Mato fruits that grant supernatural abilities only to women. Though Yuuki's situation is dire, he is saved in the nick of time by Kyouka Uzen, the chief of the Demon Defense Force's seventh unit. Despite Kyouka's impeccable skills in battle, she has long been held back by her Peach-granted ability, Slave. Slave allows Kyouka to put a living being under her control and draw out its strength, but the Shuuki that she had enslaved until now had all proven to be exceedingly weak. When Yuuki and Kyouka become surrounded by a horde of Shuuki, Kyouka resorts to something she has never tried before: using her ability on a man. To her surprise, Yuuki's slave form is much more powerful than she could have imagined. Believing the young man to be the key to unlocking her true potential, Kyouka invites Yuuki to join the Demon Defense Force, but not as a regular member.

01:37I'll say so
01:39Tsunagu yo
01:41Thank you for watching!
02:11This is humanoid Shuki.
02:13Typically our squadrons operate independently.
02:15But the demon defense force aims to be more cohesive now.
02:18Right, I see.
02:20I heard a rumor that the seventh squadron second in command fainted when she was attacked by one of the humanoid Shuki.
02:27How pathetic!
02:29You're determined to drag the Asuma family's reputation through the mud, aren't you?
02:34Give it up and come home already.
02:39But to be fair, those Shuki aren't exactly weak.
02:42The third squadron had a run-in with them, too.
02:45Not just once, but two times.
02:47Strength in numbers. Us working together would be smart.
02:50We find your presence at battle reassuring, Commander Kyoka.
02:54But some of us are a little hesitant to put our trust in your entire team.
02:58I won't name any names, but we're concerned that her impotence might slow us down.
03:09We need to assess the current capabilities of each of our teams.
03:14How about we hold an inter-squad motto exhibition match?
03:21A motto exhibition match?
03:23What is this, a baseball league?
03:27An exhibition match is what we call a contest of strength and skill between two squadrons.
03:33That makes sense.
03:34Does single combat sound acceptable?
03:37You've never been the type to mince words, have you, Kyo?
03:41Fine by me.
03:44We'll adjust our numbers accordingly.
03:46See you later, little slave.
03:53Commander, I have a request.
03:55Will you help me prepare for the exhibition?
04:00It's going to be physically demanding.
04:02I'll do whatever it takes to win the match.
04:04Then you'd better buckle down and start training.
04:07Right.
04:11You heard the commander.
04:13I, Himari Asuma, claim you as my slave from here on out.
04:18But why?
04:23Yuki's ramen broth is delicious.
04:26I know. It's so good I always end up eating too much of his cooking.
04:30Did you use some sort of secret ingredient?
04:33I wanted it to be rich and thick this time, so I tried adding chicken fat.
04:36Your skills are perfect for a slave. You're good at cleaning and cooking.
04:40Would you please remind me again how I got roped into being your slave, too?
04:45It's for the sake of the motto exhibition match.
04:48It's absolutely imperative that I win.
04:50But that doesn't explain why I'm being forced to be your...
04:53We're keeping it simple this time with single combat.
04:57So your sister's attitude struck a nerve, didn't it?
05:00Now you can use this match as an excuse to kick her ass.
05:03Thank you for the chance to do some ass-kicking!
05:05Ass-kicking is your new job!
05:07Oh, I'll kick it, all right!
05:09What with all the kicking of asses?!
05:12You still haven't answered my question. Why am I your slave now?
05:17Transforming parts of my body into weapons isn't my main ability.
05:21I only use it because it's compatible.
05:23Huh?
05:24This is my real technique.
05:27Miss Kyoka?
05:28It looks like some sort of trading card game.
05:33Learning.
05:35I can learn other people's abilities and use them for myself.
05:38That's my specialty.
05:40Isn't that ability super OP?
05:42I select someone's talents that I want to use on my phone and implement it.
05:46What that means is I can use the Commander's now.
05:49You do understand what Miss Kyoka's ability entails, right?
05:53Yeah, yeah. I'm aware it's physically demanding.
05:56You've got this, okay?
05:57I don't mind taking over the cleaning or the laundry if it means I get to kick Yachiyo's ass!
06:09We're surrounded by Shuki! Hurry up!
06:11Okay, fine, but I warned you!
06:27Oh!
06:33You're in a different shape than when the Commander does it!
06:42I can move with lightning speed! Faster than with Miss Kyoka!
06:48But the drawback is that I'm not as strong.
06:51Well, in that case...
06:57I'll just beat on them till they drop!
07:01This is the key to fighting my sister!
07:08Hey, good job!
07:09You could pick from any number of abilities.
07:11Tell me why you insist on this one.
07:15It gives you a chance to be useful even though you're a man.
07:18If anything, you ought to be grateful.
07:22Wait, hold on! What the hell?!
07:25This is the price of her ability.
07:29So, by physically demanding, she really meant...
07:32Wait, how come I can't control my body movement?!
07:35Well, it's because my reward isn't over yet.
07:38But... why does your reward have to be this?!
07:42Speaking of which, quit gawking at me already, you perv!
07:45I would, but if I do that, you might...
07:47On second thought, just see for yourself.
07:55What the hell?! Am I gonna be stuck like this forever?!
07:58I thought so!
07:59Look, it's the price of her ability.
08:01So it won't stop until I get my reward.
08:12Is this a sufficient enough reward for you?
08:19How indecent!
08:26You would be better off using a different ability.
08:30Look, I would if I could, okay? Believe me!
08:33So shameful.
08:35Wait, but why can't you?
08:37There's a compatibility component to learning.
08:40It degrades the quality of most abilities to the point they become useless.
08:44For example, if I were to use Shushu's Paradigm Shift,
08:48all it would do is increase my butt size by about three centimeters.
08:52Okay, but the price of Miss Kyoka's ability is...
08:55I'm aware of that, okay?!
08:59Why are you so desperate to win this?
09:04I'm from the Asuma household,
09:06an influential family with major accomplishments and motto.
09:09My older sisters are successful, so everyone had high hopes for me too.
09:14But I'd overexert myself before a big event and get hurt,
09:17or I'd get nervous and come down with a fever.
09:20I never had any results to show for it.
09:23Yeah, story of my life.
09:25Same with my Peach ability.
09:27I'm guessing they noticed the problem you mentioned earlier?
09:31Because of that, I'd always get teased whenever I couldn't keep up with my sisters.
09:36I see. It must have been tough for you growing up.
09:39This is my first chance since I cut ties with the Asuma family to prove them wrong about me.
09:45So you are going to help me and be happy about it!
09:49It's really hard to want to help someone when they can't even ask politely.
09:54As for my ultimate goal...
09:58I want to be a hero like the Commander.
10:00I feel like I'll become a better version of myself if I can beat Yachiyo.
10:04That part of me that nobody's ever seen deserves a proper chance to shine.
10:09She's... just like me.
10:12Still, we're missing something for the exhibition match.
10:15What's that?
10:17A finishing move that will demolish our enemy!
10:20Come to think of it, all I've done so far is mindlessly punch and kick everything in sight.
10:26I have my own reasons for wanting to get stronger.
10:30Maybe she's the key to opening up a new door for me too.
10:34Even better if I manage to help Miss Kyoka.
10:38Okay, fine. I'll do whatever you want.
10:41Watch your attitude. You're my slave, remember? You don't have the right to refuse.
10:45Yeah, sure. Can you tell me what Yachiyo's ability is?
10:49It's golden hour. She can control time, including freezing it and rewinding it.
10:55Well, we're screwed.
11:02My ears are burning.
11:04I have a sneaking suspicion Himari is talking about me right now.
11:08Oh, Himari, such a worthless little brat.
11:11It's only right that she does my bidding for the rest of her miserable life.
11:17I'm going to put her in her place at the exhibition match.
11:22I can't wait for the big day to arrive!
11:31Yachiyo's ability is dangerous for sure, but it takes power.
11:35She'll get tired if she uses it too many times, and that's how we'll win.
11:39The fact that she can use it more than once makes things tricky, though.
11:42Also, she strikes a very odd pose to trigger her ability.
11:46It's a routine that emphasizes her skills.
11:50So then we'll have to beat her to the punch.
11:52In that case, we ought to take advantage of my speed for our finishing move.
11:56Exactly. An ultra-fast maneuver that won't give her a chance to freeze time.
12:00And no leeway to rewind time either.
12:03An attack with enough force to knock her out of the fight completely.
12:06So like, a swift step forward into a head-on punch!
12:10I think that would be fastest.
12:13Let's polish it into a deadly blow she can't dodge.
12:16I want you to try channeling all your strength into a single part of your body.
12:25Channel... all my strength... to my legs!
12:30It worked!
12:31Whoa, you actually did it!
12:34Just in time for our practice dummies to arrive.
12:37Hell yeah!
12:40I'm even faster than before!
12:42At this rate...
12:44Where goes it?!
12:47Wait, why didn't it work?!
12:56My lower half... is exhausted.
12:59You probably lost most of your arm strength because you poured all your energy into your legs instead.
13:04We'll keep experimenting with it until we perfect your technique.
13:08Uh, is this my reward?
13:16Wow, he does look different than when he's with me.
13:19Commander!
13:20Miss Kyoka!
13:21Keep it up!
13:22Roger!
13:23Smart. Channeling his strength into a single body part to produce a more powerful effect.
13:28It's a proactive approach. You've got a knack for this.
13:31Gee, thank you, Commander!
13:33That being said, why are you watching him from way back here?
13:37Well, I...
13:38You mustn't forget the fundamental essence of my ability.
13:42Its essence?
13:46Make me proud.
13:49Hey!
13:50I'll be riding you during the exhibition.
13:52Let's do this like it's the real deal!
13:54This ability requires dominating a slave, not just standing back and coaching.
13:59Get on top of him.
14:01Seize the slave's chains, and command him as his master!
14:05Channel all your strength into your legs!
14:09That's strange.
14:10I feel more power flowing through me this time.
14:15Go crush that shuki!
14:21You got it!
14:29Whoa!
14:30Did I really just do that?
14:32A foolproof finishing move!
14:35I got lost in the moment.
14:37I'm not sure if I can replicate that.
14:39Oh, don't worry.
14:40Mato has plenty of practice dummies to use.
14:44I'm a million times more worn out than usual.
14:47Your technique lacks precision sometimes.
14:50We need to practice and develop consistency.
14:52Your clothes are...
14:54Look, it's the price of our ability, okay?
14:57I swear.
14:58Indecent.
15:04Bring it on, shuki!
15:05I'm gonna master this technique so I can put it to use again in the future!
15:09Bring it on, shuki!
15:10I'm gonna master this technique so I can put it to use again in the future!
15:15That's the spirit, Yuki.
15:39I'm gonna master this technique so I can put it to use again in the future!
16:05Today, we put our team's excellence on display.
16:08Good doing it, too.
16:09A stylish victory!
16:12The moment of truth is finally here!
16:15So, how do you feel about it?
16:17I'm ready for anything.
16:18I'll be using an ability that Yachiho's never seen.
16:21I feel good.
16:22That's great.
16:23But once the exhibition is done, the Himari-Yuki duo will be over.
16:27I guess so.
16:29After all, he belongs to the commander, not me.
16:31And it's a physically demanding ability.
16:35For now, let's focus on today.
16:37The whole Demon Defense Force will know who won.
16:40And the outcome will affect our squadron, the commander's reputation.
16:45We've got to put our best foot forward.
16:47Right.
16:48Both for myself and the commander, since she organized this.
16:52I can't lose.
16:54That reminds me.
16:55Aren't the other members of the sixth squadron supposed to show up?
16:58Huh?
17:02Hello!
17:03We got here a little early, so I came to de-stress.
17:06Since when was she in the sixth squadron?
17:09That's Sahara Wakasa.
17:10She's a homebody, so it's rare to see her out and about like this.
17:19Now she's asleep? How funny!
17:21She's certainly got guts, doesn't she?
17:28Go ahead without me.
17:30You'll do great, Himari.
17:31Don't sweat it.
17:33Taking a bath before the exhibition match?
17:35You must be feeling awfully confident.
17:38I intend to be clean and well-groomed when I win today.
17:42Oh, yeah? It sounds like you've got a plan in mind.
17:45But the question is, can you actually pull it off?
17:57Of course! I know I can!
18:00Oh, you still haven't left the dorm?
18:02The match is supposed to start soon.
18:04You're only delaying the inevitable.
18:11It'll be okay.
18:13Remember, we trained our asses off.
18:18Awfully cocky for a slave.
18:20What?
18:22Well, obviously. We're guaranteed to win.
18:31Hey, everyone! Sorry we're late!
18:34Write your name down.
18:36What's this for?
18:37It's used to trigger Gina Beeson's ability.
18:40She can create a barrier by drawing a line on the ground that acts as a boundary.
18:45Only those who sign their names can enter the barrier.
18:48Also, any damage sustained during combat inside the barrier will be healed.
18:53Thank you for your patience!
18:55My name's Gina Beeson of the 10th Squadron,
18:57and I'll be your rep for today's Air Squad Exhibition Match!
19:02Gina Slab!
19:12This ability of mine is like a dream come true!
19:15I get to see the Demon Defense Force up close and personal!
19:18Not everyone believes Peach's grant power is based on the person's nature and knowledge,
19:22but I totally do!
19:24This barrier can withstand the force of a thousand Shuki.
19:27We're counting on you to judge this fight.
19:31Right, Lady 10 and Lady Kiyo?
19:33I will do my best!
19:35Lady Kiyo?
19:37Are you a fangirl or something?
19:39Huh?
19:40Oh, God.
19:41I really need to shut the hell up.
19:43All right, I'm all set!
19:46Did you make that?
19:48Mei counts as a non-combatant, so her job is to cheer on her teammates!
19:52First up in Round 1,
19:54Himari Azuma of the 7th Squadron versus Yachiho Azuma of the 6th Squadron!
19:59The rules are, whoever gives up or gets knocked out first loses!
20:03Injuries will be healed, so feel free to go nuts!
20:06As soon as I humiliate you, I'm going to drag you back home.
20:10Then you'll be my special little servant.
20:20I'm not the same person I was back then.
20:23I will defeat you, Yachiho!
20:30Ugh.
20:37As part of my ability, he's going to assist me.
20:40Fine by me. Denying a dog handler her pup is just plain heartless.
20:45Is everyone ready?
20:48Now, let the first match...
20:51begin!
20:52Don't say I didn't warn you. You won't last a second again.
21:00Where the hell did that come from?
21:04Golden hour!
21:06Rewind five seconds!
21:13Begin!
21:15She's tired.
21:17We planned ahead in case we couldn't beat her with a single blow.
21:20Let's stick to our strategy.
21:22She changed tactics.
21:24Was it an accident, or did she do it on purpose?
21:27Oh, Himari. You haven't realized my ability has gotten stronger.
21:31It's an indisputable fact that little sisters can't beat big sisters.
21:36I'll prove it to you with prime time!
21:57I'll prove it to you with prime time!
21:59I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:01I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:03I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:05I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:07I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:09I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:11I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:13I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:15I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:17I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:19I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:21I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:23I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:25I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:27I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:29I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:31I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:33I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:35I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:37I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:39I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:41I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:43I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:45I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:47I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:49I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:51I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:53I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:55I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:57I'll prove it to you with prime time!
22:59I'll prove it to you with prime time!
23:01I'll prove it to you with prime time!
23:03I'll prove it to you with prime time!
23:05I'll prove it to you with prime time!
23:23But there's the issue of compatibility and risk of deterioration!
23:26And some skills come with a price which she must pay or she can't switch out for a different skill later!
23:31Every technique used requires lots of studying!
23:34It's the perfect skill for someone like Miss Imari!
23:37Anyways, next time!
23:38Sister's Yashio Ridicule!
