00:00and I'll be back.
00:07You'll have a great birthday.
00:10Save it for later.
00:15What am I going to do now?
00:19Hey, did you see?
00:21A student is suing the school.
00:23Yeah, I wonder how she will react.
00:25What will happen?
00:27Will she change the rules?
00:29I don't know. This is the first oral trial.
00:32Will it be complicated?
00:34Very complicated.
00:45And now I will proceed to ask you some questions
00:48about the incident that brings us together.
00:55A trial?
00:57I will sue the school
01:01to eliminate the non-romance rule between us.
01:07Regardless of the rules, you were wrong to break them.
01:10First you break them, and now you want to cancel your expulsion.
01:13You ask too much.
01:14I know that, but...
01:15Instead of obsessing over that school,
01:18you should look for another one and start over.
01:20I'm sorry.
01:24The one who revokes my expulsion is not my final goal.
01:28Mom, I want to change the rules for the students who are still there.
01:34As long as they continue in that school,
01:36they have to hide their love,
01:38watching each other.
01:41And destroying everything they appreciate.
01:45I won't allow that anymore.
01:47I'm sorry.
01:50The other day, I was only talking about money, but...
01:55My desire to protect your love became stronger.
01:58And I don't want you to destroy it.
02:00So...
02:02I plan to take this to the end.
02:08Could you please state your name and position at the school?
02:17My name is Yoko Ikushima.
02:20As director of the Asuran Academy,
02:23I have established the rule of non-romance between men and women.
02:29A civil suit will damage the reputation of the institution.
02:34The fact that you have suddenly filed a complaint
02:37means that you have no intention of negotiating.
02:41Your objective should be
02:43to make public all your claims through the judicial system.
02:49Does that young woman really want us to break that rule, Director?
02:55Tell us what the objective of this school rule is, please.
02:59It was established to protect the students.
03:02Prevent any injury that the students may suffer mentally and morally after falling in love.
03:09And allow them to focus on their studies.
03:13For this purpose,
03:15the rule of non-romance is essential.
03:18Do you know the course of studies for high schools prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Culture?
03:25Of course I do.
03:26One of the requirements of sexual education is to allow students to make their own decisions
03:31based on the appropriate information.
03:34By establishing the rule of non-romance between students,
03:37didn't you think that those requirements could be violated?
03:40You should know that all private schools
03:43are free to teach all their subjects according to their traditions and culture.
03:49This school rule violates the basic rights of students,
03:53such as their feelings and privacy.
03:56The rule was established after an exhaustive discussion of the board,
04:00based on the opinion of several experts present.
04:04Therefore, I came to the conclusion that it was reasonable.
04:10I think there's no need to say it,
04:13but after expelling so many students,
04:15it's not enough to admit that you were wrong.
04:41But being realistic, can you beat him?
04:44The lawyer still doesn't know.
04:47I asked him yesterday, but he told me that in this case he has no precedent.
04:52Arizawa is fighting alone, aren't you ashamed?
04:56Idiot, you're talking nonsense.
04:58Don't touch me, get out of here.
04:59I don't want to go, this is Arizawa's house.
05:01Ichika, your friends are here.
05:03Hi Ichika.
05:04What a strange combination.
05:06She was the one who brought me here.
05:09And here they are.
05:13You didn't have to do it.
05:15You helped me more, guardian of love.
05:17They look delicious.
05:18I think the same.
05:19When I needed you, you listened to me.
05:23And now...
05:25Come, use it.
05:28Stop doing that.
05:29All trials cost money.
05:31No, but keep it, I can't use it.
05:34I would like to testify in the trial.
05:38What?
05:39What kind of testimony?
05:41That the school rule is incorrect.
05:49What?
05:50I think it doesn't make sense.
05:51You were in charge of the rabbit hunt.
05:53Yes, you were the one most interested in everyone following that rule.
05:57I don't think so.
05:58I don't think so.
05:59I don't think so.
06:00I don't think so.
06:01I don't think so.
06:02I don't think so.
06:03I don't think so.
06:04I don't think so.
06:05I don't think so.
06:06I don't think...
06:07That's why I...
06:08I got so involved with that rule without thinking...
06:11and I started punishing them for falling in love.
06:16And that's why...
06:18I want to face everyone, to do the right thing.
06:20We'll do the right thing.
06:29So, what do you think if we make Arisawa and Maki dance?
06:33What?
06:35The Guardian of Love dance.
06:37You two were dancing, weren't you?
06:39It was super cute!
06:41Thank you, but no.
06:44I want to see it.
06:50The Guardian of Love
07:11I'm sorry.
07:13For leaving you alone at school.
07:17It's okay.
07:21You're an incredible woman.
07:24You even managed to convince your mother.
07:27I'm sorry, but I don't think I could convince your father.
07:42I sent you to school to ban love.
07:47Those rules will disappear if you win.
07:50If you lose, you'll be expelled.
08:04Thank you for always giving me your support.
08:08The Asuran Academy has a website where information is filtered.
08:13It was originally an orientation site,
08:16but the students began to send information about romantic relationships.
08:21So, did the school take any action against that?
08:25No.
08:27I proposed to close the site to the principal,
08:31but she refused.
08:34Tell me, as the school counselor,
08:37how do you think the rule of non-romance
08:40between boys and girls affected the students mentally?
08:48There are some differences between the students
08:51as far as their interest in love is concerned.
08:54I don't think it's a romantic relationship.
08:57I don't think it's a romantic relationship.
09:00I don't think it's romantic.
09:03I do think that love is important,
09:06so I can't generalize.
09:09But I think that it has had a negative effect
09:13on the students' mental and moral states.
09:20My relationship was also filtered on that site.
09:24So, what did the school decide?
09:28There wasn't any.
09:31He wasn't seen as a problem.
09:34Because the guy he went out with...
09:39was a guy of my class.
09:48Hi, Yuma.
09:49I wanted to talk to you in person.
09:58I'm going to do it.
10:00I'm going to testify in court.
10:05About your testimony and experience,
10:08you said you wanted to talk to me in person.
10:11Can you tell us why?
10:18Because I'd like to go to school without having to hide.
10:25When they decided that gay romance wasn't love,
10:29I felt as if my own existence was denied.
10:35But I'm here.
10:37And I know what love is.
10:47I took very drastic measures against romantic relationships.
10:52Like a council rabbit hunter.
10:55We patrolled the areas where couples went.
10:58We took pictures and informed the teachers right away.
11:02And when you say patrolled, do you mean the school?
11:06Also outside.
11:08The principal gave us precise instructions.
11:11The motels were the most convenient target.
11:14And I watched them many times.
11:16One time, I waited two hours for a couple at the entrance.
11:22But now I regret what I did.
11:29I realized that no one has the right to deny you.
11:34That you fall in love with someone and they punish you.
11:43I want to tell people that I was hurt and expelled.
11:48That they forgive me.
11:54When you went to the principal's office,
11:57what kind of pictures did they show you there?
12:04Pictures of me with a classmate.
12:07Kissing in an empty classroom.
12:11And what kind of questions did they ask you?
12:15And what kind of questions did they ask you?
12:33If we had had sex.
12:36They asked me several times.
12:46After that, they asked me for my phone.
12:49So I could show them the messages
12:52and all the pictures I had saved in my memory.
12:56When you questioned Ms. Ichika Arizawa,
12:59did you ask her to show you the messages
13:02and the pictures she had saved in her phone?
13:05I wouldn't call it a request.
13:08It was just an inevitable proof
13:11so that I could clearly understand all the facts.
13:16And how did you feel when they told you that?
13:22She demanded it in such an annoying and furious tone
13:26that at that moment I felt fear.
13:30And then she saw my pictures.
13:34Having to show my personal pictures
13:38made me feel ashamed and humiliated.
14:00I saved some of the dinner for you. Are you hungry?
14:05Son, you don't have to forgive me.
14:13Now I regret a lot of things.
14:16But what I regret the most
14:19is that I taught you the wrong way to love.
14:22Stop talking about that.
14:25I told you it's disgusting.
14:28Son, true love is not disgusting.
14:31It's not dirty either.
14:34Even if you already fell in love with someone
14:37and you find disgusting emotions inside yourself,
14:41I don't want you to get scared
14:44and become someone who doesn't love anyone.
15:02When the two schools merged,
15:05did you receive an explanation of the school rules?
15:08Yes.
15:10Did they tell you that the romance between boys and girls
15:13would be punished with expulsion?
15:15Yes, that's right.
15:17And then you opposed the rule of non-romance between boys and girls?
15:22No, sir.
15:24At that moment I thought it was the safest thing for everyone.
15:27The school's desire to protect our children
15:30I thanked him and I didn't complain.
15:33But then...
15:37I'm sorry.
15:39I'm not an expert on this matter.
15:41I don't know if the school rules are wrong or not.
15:44But as for love...
15:47How do I put it?
15:50I think it's part of the growth of a human being.
15:54To feel that a person cares about you
15:56and that you show compassion and kindness to others.
16:01My own daughter fell in love there for the first time.
16:07And that made her mature.
16:10She wanted to start this lawsuit, not for her own good,
16:13but to protect the love of her schoolmates.
16:17It may sound a little weird,
16:19but I think that feeling is stronger than hers.
16:22So that's why...
16:24Now I'm against a ban
16:28that tells all students not to fall in love.
16:33I understand.
16:35And your daughter, the plaintiff, is of the same opinion as you?
16:41Of course she is.
16:43She started this trial arguing that the rule of non-romance
16:46is not a valid rule.
16:48However, your daughter took advantage of that rule
16:52to make a lot of money, right?
16:54Along with the student she was in love with.
16:57Objection!
16:58This has no relevance to the case before us, ma'am.
17:01I'm just confirming the plaintiff's ideas
17:03in relation to the case.
17:07Agreed. Denied.
17:09Please continue.
17:11Your daughter is arguing that the rule of non-romance
17:15is not valid among students.
17:17But before that,
17:19she sent incriminatory pictures to several students
17:22in romantic relationships
17:24and threatened them with expulsion if they didn't pay her.
17:29Your daughter did that
17:31not precisely because she recognized that the rule was not valid,
17:35but to get her benefit.
17:37I'm sorry about that.
17:39She reaped the benefits of that rule.
17:43But as soon as her own romance was exposed,
17:46then she argued that the rule was not valid.
17:51It was none other than her own daughter
17:53who made the other students suffer
17:55by using the rule of non-romance as a shield.
17:58Objection, ma'am!
17:59Wait a minute!
18:01Yes, that was the beginning.
18:03Ichika did it to get money.
18:05She needed it to stay in school.
18:07Maki, no.
18:08Stop intervening.
18:10But things changed along the way.
18:13Seeing the students in love, she changed her mind
18:16and wanted to help them no matter what they paid,
18:19even if her identity was revealed.
18:21I order you to leave the room.
18:23Ma'am...
18:24Leave the room, please.
18:27Ma'am, I was also a guardian of love
18:29and worked with them both.
18:32That's why I confirm it.
18:34That was a deal, not an extortion.
18:37And the ones we saved...
18:40All of them would be expelled.
18:42Stop this now!
18:43Look at the history of messages and you'll see.
18:47Is that what you're trying to say, too?
18:49That it was not an extortion, but a deal to protect them
18:52from the rules of the school?
18:55That's right.
18:56So the student understood that it was only a contract
18:59to be able to help him?
19:01Did you explain it to him when you contacted him for the first time?
19:04Yes.
19:05And yet you haven't revealed the name of a single student
19:08you claim to have helped,
19:10without being able to confirm the knowledge of the other party.
19:13How can you say with certainty that it was a deal?
19:17If you say that, you should show the evidence.
19:20Who were those students you helped?
19:22What were their names?
19:24Can't you say it?
19:35If you can't, your argument that it was not an extortion,
19:38but a deal, cannot be sustained.
19:40Your Honor, I protest.
19:42That's all, Your Honor.
19:47The hearing is adjourned.
20:05Don't you feel well?
20:08You've been very quiet.
20:10And you tell me?
20:12Do you want to walk with me?
20:14What?
20:15Didn't you have something to tell Ichika?
20:19Tell her what?
20:22You like her, don't you?
20:25That's why when you discovered us,
20:27you got angry and you betrayed us.
20:31I envy you.
20:33You're a simple person.
20:35What?
20:36I admit that I had never believed in love.
20:40Losing control over something like that seemed stupid to me.
20:44I was so disgusted by what I did out of jealousy that I threw up.
20:47What?
20:50But I finally accept that I have that kind of feelings.
20:53So I'm not going to meddle between you two.
20:59But I'm totally useless.
21:02I can't help her in court.
21:04I can't convince my parents.
21:06I'm letting Ichika fight alone.
21:09Even if she says things I'd rather not hear
21:12and face all that guilt, I can't do anything.
21:17I'm so pathetic.
21:20Well, you could take the opportunity to mature.
21:25This is where you should encourage me, not depress me.
21:29I didn't even get shocked by the news about Azura's students.
21:33They make too much noise for a trial.
21:36How deplorable.
21:37A high school student so liberal.
21:39What nonsense.
21:41I don't know what her parents are doing.
21:44You're absolutely right.
21:55There's a lot of people.
21:57Hey, hey, hey, hey. Come, come, come.
22:00Hey, do you have high blood pressure?
22:03What?
22:05Is your heart very strong?
22:07Yes, of course.
22:08But why are you asking?
22:10Then, good luck.
22:14Hi.
22:27Hi.
22:33I'm sorry for what I did to you.
22:35I mean it.
22:40Can you pay the debt now?
22:44I will.
22:47And also the part you paid.
22:50I swear I'll give it to you.
22:57And can you win?
23:00If you lose, you get expelled, right?
23:04I don't know.
23:09But...
23:12I was wrong too.
23:16I thought I enrolled Ichika in that school for her own good.
23:20But maybe I only forced her to take responsibility for me.
23:23I wanted more than anyone else for her to be happy.
23:27But I forgot to teach my daughter how to be happy.
23:39You've been a good mother.
23:48The next hearing will be the face-to-face interview
23:51with the principal.
23:53She's a difficult woman.
23:55Even after hearing all that in court,
23:58her expression hasn't changed a bit.
24:02That means she has a lot of confidence in that rule, right?
24:06That...
24:07I was also wondering about that,
24:09and that's why I did some research.
24:12Why is the principal, Ikushima,
24:14obsessed with no romance?
24:16I was focusing on that.
24:19The principal...
24:21also graduated from our school.
24:25But when she was in her third year,
24:27her best friend passed away.
24:30What?
24:32What?
24:34I don't know.
24:36I don't know.
24:38I don't know.
24:40I don't know.
24:42I don't know.
24:44I don't know.
24:46I don't know.
24:48She got pregnant.
24:52She never told her parents.
24:54And she gave birth in secret.
24:57That's why she...
25:00Are you serious?
25:04Maybe the principal...
25:07regretted her whole life.
25:12Because she...
25:14didn't stop her best friend's relationship.
25:27Today, the plaintiff would like to hear
25:30directly from the witness on the stand.
25:32She will also be able to question you,
25:34but always with my support.
25:36Is that okay?
25:38No problem.
25:49In the course of this proceeding,
25:52did the rule of no romance between boys and girls
25:55ever need to be reconsidered?
25:58Never.
26:01But because of this rule,
26:03there has been testimony of the psychological anguish it causes.
26:07Even so, it will not change your mind.
26:13I admit that there were problems with my way of handling this issue.
26:17I apologize for causing that,
26:20and I promise to improve.
26:25However,
26:27on the rule of no romance between boys and girls,
26:30I still believe it is a necessary rule for students,
26:34and I will not change my mind.
26:43Private schools are free to educate as they see fit.
26:46However,
26:47given the changes in social attitudes and the current diversity,
26:51don't you think it is necessary to reconsider school rules?
26:57Does that mean
26:58that in order to meet the demands of this society,
27:02the rules must change?
27:04If you only impose a rule,
27:06it hinders the development of freedom
27:08and self-independence of the time.
27:10If we let these immature students emotionally take care of themselves,
27:14I think it is obvious what would happen, don't you think?
27:19Depriving students of their human rights is draconian.
27:23Not imposing adult values on children.
27:26Letting students decide what is right and what is wrong.
27:30All those theories
27:31are only a criticism
27:33of third parties who don't have to take any real responsibility.
27:37Director,
27:39what I'm trying to say is
27:43that I want you to trust the students more.
27:45If only there was trust, we wouldn't need rules.
27:50In reality,
27:51a job doesn't work just with an ideal.
27:55When something happens that has no solution,
27:58who will take responsibility?
28:00As you say, Madam Director,
28:03we are immature young people.
28:06But,
28:07forbidding us from doing something is the least we need.
28:11With a good guide,
28:12we wouldn't fall into an irreversible situation.
28:16Isn't it about you preparing us?
28:23I don't know.
28:25I don't know.
28:27I don't know.
28:29Do things that only students can do.
28:33That's what adults say.
28:37But we can also fall in love.
28:40I object.
28:41Madam Director,
28:42the plaintiff doesn't ask.
28:43She just gives her opinion.
28:44I never told you that you couldn't fall in love.
28:46But even so,
28:48if the school forbids us from having a partner,
28:50the students will feel that falling in love is a bad thing.
28:54And I think
28:55falling in love is not the same as committing a crime.
28:58Therefore,
29:01I don't regret being here.
29:07If it's our feelings,
29:09we have to make the decision.
29:13If we fail or succeed,
29:17when we are adults,
29:19we won't regret being overprotected.
29:22We won't regret being overprotected.
29:26Madam Director, calm down.
29:28Objection admitted.
29:30Instead of expressing your opinion,
29:32make sure you only adhere to the facts.
29:36The school can't regret anything either.
29:39Ms. Ikushima.
29:41At that moment,
29:43if they had forbidden him as they should,
29:47if they had detained him even if they had to tie him up,
29:53maybe they wouldn't have had to hurt him that way.
29:58Maybe they wouldn't have made him go through everything that happened.
30:02That remorse.
30:05The school must never allow it.
30:09The school must protect the students until the end, whatever happens.
30:22I beg you.
30:29I beg you.
30:36People are free to fall in love
30:39and not to do it if they don't want to.
30:44Madam Director,
30:47I tried.
30:52I tried.
30:59Trust your students and what they decide.
31:22I tried.
31:36Today I went to see the school you're moving to soon.
31:43Dad, I've made up my mind.
31:49This is the school brochure.
31:52Read it carefully.
32:19Dear,
32:23I need to talk to you.
32:27So you did all this?
32:33It feels like an eternity has passed.
32:39Whether you win or lose the trial,
32:42you must decide for yourself what to do.
32:45You don't have to worry about me.
32:47Because your mom will always trust you.
32:58If I decide for myself, I won't regret it.
33:07It will be true.
33:18It will be true.
33:26Maybe some people aren't that strong.
33:37And no matter what happens,
33:39we'll regret it if things don't go well.
33:48I love you.
34:01Even so, we must trust each other.
34:10I want to love the part of me that I hated.
34:13Maybe it's a little ambitious,
34:15but it's human.
34:19Stand up, please.
34:43I hereby pronounce the verdict.
34:52Conclusion.
34:54One.
34:55The plaintiff comes from the Asuran Academy,
34:58as she stated at the beginning of her claim.
35:01And this court confirms that she has a student status.
35:08Two.
35:09The claims that have been presented before this court
35:13are now dismissed.
35:54I'd like to apologize to Arizagua and Maki.
35:59But...
36:01I still don't have the courage.
36:06I never thought I'd do that kind of thing.
36:10Feeling jealous...
36:14and betraying...
36:17I'm a bad person.
36:26To begin with,
36:28you have to accept yourself
36:30exactly as you are.
36:36After that,
36:37calm down.
36:39And worry about never hating yourself.
36:43You have to think about what you want to do.
36:46That would be best.
36:54So, you're still going to continue with the trial?
36:58Yes.
37:02Don't you think it's enough?
37:04Both of your expulsions have already been revoked.
37:08Other students were also expelled.
37:11If that's what you want,
37:12you can go back to school now.
37:14But...
37:16the rule of non-romance between boys and girls is still in force.
37:19Even if you sue us, that won't change.
37:22The court considered it reasonable
37:25to encourage them to focus only on their studies.
37:28But...
37:29The school rules won't change.
37:31If you don't like it,
37:33both of you can leave the institution.
37:41Excuse me, Ms. Principal.
37:43We're busy now.
37:44Well, she...
37:50Excuse me.
38:01I'm sorry.
38:15A long time ago,
38:16I was dating Master Haruto.
38:19And that subject
38:21will be revealed on all my social media.
38:32What?
38:38What does all this mean?
38:40And you came all the way here
38:42just to tell us you're going to make it public?
38:46If you break the rule of non-romance between boys and girls now,
38:50I promise I won't do it.
38:51What are you saying?
39:02Why are you here?
39:05What are you doing?
39:07It's time.
39:15I know I behaved absurdly.
39:18But now...
39:20I can't find any other way to not hate myself.
39:24In any case,
39:26I won't give in to such threats.
39:29Hey! Don't come in like that!
39:31Stop!
39:32Wait! Hey!
39:33No!
39:34What are you doing?
39:35And what are you doing here?
39:38We've brought our signatures.
39:41Break the rule of non-romance
39:43between students.
39:47Seriously?
39:51Yes.
39:53I'm sorry.
39:55I'm sorry.
39:57Ms. Principal,
39:58I don't want to fall in love.
40:01I think it's a nuisance,
40:02and there are other things I want to do.
40:04But I think it's a mistake to forbid it to those who want it.
40:07I'm not interested in romance,
40:09but I don't want the school to decide for me.
40:12Falling in love gave me the courage to take a step forward.
40:15And I learned to identify men who are not worth it.
40:19Besides, love is wonderful.
40:22There's nothing wrong with falling in love with someone.
40:25I don't think there's anything wrong with how people live their lives.
40:29Please, just trust us.
40:31Trust us, Ms. Principal.
40:33Break that rule, and trust us.
40:36We're all begging you.
40:37Listen to us, please.
40:38Break that rule.
40:39Where do you want to go?
40:40Where do you want to go?
40:41We'd be responsible.
40:42We want you to listen to us.
40:44We need you to listen to us.
40:45Do it now.
40:46We need you to listen to us.
40:47Do it now.
40:48We need you to listen to us.
40:49We need you to listen to us.
40:50Do it now.
40:51We need you to listen to us.
40:52This is the row where you're going to vote.
40:54Please indicate your grade and student number.
40:57Attention!
40:58This is the row where you're going to vote, comrades.
41:01Please indicate your grade and student number.
41:0712 in favor.
41:08One against.
41:0912 in favor.
41:10One against.
41:26Don't worry.
41:27Everything is going to be alright.
41:46You're going to be satisfied.
41:50Ma'am, do you remember Emma Comoree?
42:01She recently had a baby.
42:04And she looked happy.
42:09I'm glad your baby was born.
42:16Did you know she was pregnant?
42:21The results should arrive very soon.
42:33It doesn't matter what they decide.
42:36That rule was necessary.
42:42I'm sure...
42:45you'll understand very soon.
42:50I'm sure.
43:20I'm sure.
43:27Dear Maki.
43:29How are you?
43:31I hope you're not in trouble and everything is going well.
43:36I'm doing pretty well around here.
43:40I'm studying a lot for the entrance exams.
43:44I'm getting along better with all the rich girls.
43:48Rabbit hunters no longer exist.
43:53However, romance is still forbidden at school.
43:59That day, the rule of non-romance could not be repealed.
44:05More than half of the students decided that this school does not need dating.
44:12Everyone thought about what was most important to them.
44:17And what kind of environment they needed to achieve it.
44:21In the end, we chose for ourselves.
44:28Just like you did.
44:31Now...
44:33I will study abroad.
44:38All my life, I spent rebelling against my father.
44:43But when I saw you fight in court, I felt ashamed.
44:49So...
44:51I'm going to study using my own strength.
45:03I hope you're serious.
45:13But...
45:18Even if you leave, we had a beautiful love.
45:32Okay.
45:34Take care.
45:42I love you.
46:12I love you.
46:24Ichika!
46:30Wait for me, okay?
46:33No, I won't.
46:35I'll call you every day.
46:38Go train, Isai.
46:42Okay.
46:55Thank you for everything, dear Maki.
47:13Bosata.
47:15Me too.
47:18I have a new dream.
47:36If you can't find a path, make one yourself.
47:39In the end, this is my life.
47:42And I will live it with my rules.
