FRB's bargain states that the dollar must not grow any weaker...
The American market has begun moving.
The currencies of every country in the world have begun simultaneously crashing under the pressure of the dollar.
America intends to suck in the all the money in the world,
in order to stop the chain reactions of 「C」.
That man is an Entre... from the North American Financial District.
He is?
America has its history intertwined with the financial district.
All of the world's investors have invested money to support America,
and in the subsequent whirlwind, many countries have disappeared.
Geez, you're always such a nasty character.
North America has many many super entrepreneurs.
This is yours!
North America has bounced 「C」's chain reaction back?
It's coming this way again... to Japan!
The Singapore reaction is making its way back, huh?
Will we be able to make it through...
...this continuing cycle?

So get me out of this Matryoshka
Oh my, it's you!
Get the rotary press moving for me.
Affirmative. Then, I will be requiring something new in collateral, is that acceptable?
Mikuni...
Since America's intervention, the currency values of the entire world are crashing down.
In order to protect this country from the chain of 「C」's effects,
Mikuni has begun spinning the rotary press a second time.
A rotary press...?
The central system that produces Midas Money.
In exchange for the future, of course.
So it's his fault that we're losing the future?
The fact that Mikuni used the rotary press a second time...
Is there no way that we can stop it?
I hear that the only people who can make the rotary press move are those that hold a Darkness Card.
The only person owning one in the Far East Financial District is Mikuni.
Can we not prevent it?
There is one way.
The first time that Mikuni started up the rotary press and circulated Midas Money,
there was a delay of a few hours before the future was lost.
You noticed it too, didn't you?
Yeah.
That very short period of time is when it has to happen.
You must force him into a deal and force him into bankruptcy.
Take his Darkness Card for your own and send the rotary press in reverse.
If you can return the Midas Money before the payment is complete, you can save the future.
But... there's no way I could win a deal against...
His funds are enormous, but he does have a weakness...
In the end, his only strength is money.
You have to make it as useless as scrap paper...
...and then use his money against him.
How?
Ah, that is the problem.
You'll have to take measures here and there to crash the value of the yen.
If you do that, the Japanese Yen will naturally act as a parasite.
The Midas Money will also lose its value and his funds will be as good as nothing.
The thing about money is that it exists because there is trust in it.
So being, if you take the trust away, what's left is nothing more than dust.
If I had to put it simply, it's like knocking over a domino line of trust.
As more and more collapse, at the end we may see the end of the financial district!
You'll have to fight him during the time that the payment is being processed.
Yoga-kun.
Yes?
It's all over if the other members of the guild interfere.
I'll have to ask you to stop them in their tracks.
Right.
Whether or not we can take back the future is dependent on this deal.
We'll be able to stop anyone else from disappearing, won't we?
I'm only an asset, I don't really care, even if I disappear.
I realised that I can't allow the future to be sacrificed any longer.
Protecting the future and whatnot...
...and talking about such serious things isn't like you at all.
I finally understand what it is I really want to protect.
It's fine, I get it already!
I wonder if he'll be all right.
Have you caught the rat by the tail?
Why, of course!
A crafty schemer always drowns in their own scheme.
Kururinpa!
TL note: A Japanese meme implying a change in appearance from turning something upside down.
I have concluded your investment.
Pin code?
Confirmed.
Here it comes.
Enough money to buy a small country!
There must be something wrong with Satou and Mikuni...
Why the hell do we have to use money for the people?
What?
It's useless.
Mikuni-san was onto your traitorous ways a long time ago.
You never really set well with me, even from the beginning.
I'll be taking this!
Isurugi-san, from the very beginning you were merely laying a smoke screen for me.
Thanks to that, I was able to get behind Mikuni-san's back.
Man, I can't stand following him around any longer.
I'm just not good at dealing with noble personage.
Helicopter money, invest!
Would you like to choose an opponent?
What?! This can't be! 100,000,000?!
Hmm? What is it?
A little something I overheard
The Yen is as good as garbage!
Switch over to the dollar!
Yes, yes!
An important announcement.
Today’s exchange funds have already run out,
so we have closed for the day.
We are sorry to cause such a terrible inconvenience,
but please give us your understanding.
That is all.
An important announcement.
Today’s exchange funds have already run out,
so we have closed for the day.
We are sorry to cause such a terrible inconvenience,
but please give us your understanding.
That is all.
Mikuni-sama.
What?
A request for a deal.
I'll pass. 「C」's chain is closing in.
In order to pass, I'll have to request half of your total funds.
It will be absolutely necessary.
What did you say?
If you do that, you won't be able to fight back against 「C」's chain reaction.
That's what you wanted to say, wasn't it?
Are you some dog from the IMF?
Holding me back at a time like this... You have some kind of plan, don't you?
Whatever the case, you have no choice but to duel me now.
That's correct, isn't it Masakaki?
Yes! Seeing that it is decided...
You said this deal was holding you back. Does that mean that you think you've already won?
It's that very delusion that betrays your willingness to steal peoples' futures...
...for the sake of making lies like, "I'll save Japan".
Delusion?
Your requested opponent, Kutsui, is already waiting for you.
I see, so you're working against us.
I guess that means that Mikuni-san couldn't win you over.
Well, I knew I'd end up fighting you eventually anyway.
I'll let you know... I'm really strong.
Masakaki.
What might it be?
Mashyu seems to be feeling strange.
While the rotary press is spinning, assets suffer a number of side effects.
I thought our assets wouldn't be harmed.
Assets are the very future of each entrepreneur.
That future is being sucked up and exchanged at the moment...
It's simply natural that there would be effects.
It's fine... I can do this, send me out.
You've been bearing all this, haven't you?
You don't have to push yourself. I'll take care of this one on my own.
I'm an asset, so I'll fight!
If you're my asset, then listen to what I say.
Listen, I only have to hold out until Satou-san can steal the Darkness Card.
You can't!
[DIRECT]
You're fighting alone? You can't be serious!
[OPEN DEAL] [OPEN DEAL]
Insider!
Taste the pain, you traitor!
Damn...
Kimimaro!
I'm fine!
Kimimaro!
Let me... Let me fight too!
Don't come out here!
Insider on!
Haha, I'll finish you off!
Kimimaro!
Huh? What's happening?
Ah! It hurts, it hurts!
[CHARGE OUT]
It hurts! Damn it! This can't be right...
What the hell is up with that, "The future, the future" crap?
I can't stand seeing you get like this over something so uncertain!
Mashyu...
Huh?
I'm so glad to have met you...
Hey... do something useful!
[INSIDER!]
You're my future.
My future is you.
Dammit!
[INSIDER!]
I've been watching you this whole time...
You've been right in front of my eyes, and I've been thinking I want to protect you no matter what.
But I finally understood that if I don't protect you, my uncertain future really will cease to exist.
I'm telling you to move!
Man, you're so useless.
Blade!
I'm not completely convinced, but somehow you've put me at ease.
What does that mean?
We're gonna win!
How insolent!
[DIRECT]
I'll wipe you both out in one go!
No choice but to use Macro. I can make it happen if you invest everything you've got.
[MICRO MEZZO MACRO-FLATION]
[OVERHEATED ECONOMY]
Overheated Economy!
Unbelievable... Why didn't I see this coming?
I get it... I guess that meant this would be the end for me.
Amazing!
[CLOSING]
[YOU ARE BANKRUPT]
[YOU HAVE GAIN]
Hey!
It seems I can't use Macro too often.
I see... Take care of yourself, okay?
You're such a weirdo...
Something wrong with that?
Huh? Hey!
I don't want to leave you alone, Kimimaro... because without me you're useless...
Buy back the future...
Moving along, moving along. It's almost time for the next step.
Oh? Is this Mr. Fuji Times speaking? This is Taketazaki.
I have a bit of interesting news. Will you buy it?
This is unbelievable news, you know! The Japanese Yen...
[OPEN DEAL]
[MICRO MEZZO MACRO-FLATION]
[MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS]
I'll be taking all of your power!
What?
Go Kakazuzu!
As you wish.
[MICRO]
Aurore!
Hold out for me, Georges!
[DIRECT]
Q... Will I make it in time?
[MICRO MEZZO MACRO-FLATION]
[MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS]
Two times is the limit, huh? But, still...
[EBO]
[DIRECT]
What?! Why is an asset acting on its own?
[CANNIBALISATION]
[DIRECT]
My hands are bathed with the blood of many.
I know that much.
I smell something delicious.
That ￥100,000,000 supposedly came from the government screwing up.
But there's no way they could collect it all back.
It's not that simple, everyone.
That money is going to become scrap paper.
Sudden inflation! Hyper-inflation!
Foreign currency deposits have been set aside...
...and all businesses related to currency exchange have received the order to close.
Now, will the first to disappear be Japan,
or will it be the Midas Bank?
I wonder how Satou-san is managing.
He's here...
Satou-san...
This deal... there's no longer any way for me to turn things around.
[WATCH WATCH WATCH]
Mikuni's power went beyond my expectations.
It seems this is the end.
If there's no chance for you to win, how about you just back down?
I'm so sorry. I want to cause you trouble until my dying breath.
What a terrible woman.
Ha, I think so too.
Yoga-kun...
I'm sorry I dragged you into this...
Will you listen to my final selfish request?
I want to leave Georges to you... Please...
Georges is my... future...
Go!
[GEORGES IS YOURS]
Thank you for everything up 'til now.
[WATCH WATCH WATCH]
[MINE]
[YOU ARE BANKRUPT]
Satou tried to steal my Darkness Card and I destroyed her.
There's nothing more that you can do.
My friend from my part time job disappeared...
...right in front of my eyes.
So what?
There are even children that have disappeared...
Isn't this all a result of what you've been doing?
This is all definitely messed up.
Using the future to protect the present...
Spinning the rotary press and making our assets suffer...
Isn't Q your future?
Do you seriously feel nothing?
If Q is to disappear through my actions,
they'll have to take me with her.
I guess I really can't accept the way you think.
I want to return Mashyu's future to her.
I want to return it no matter what!
Mikuni-san!
What is it?
I see.
He's stolen my savings and caused hyper-inflation.
He's hoping to devalue the Yen and weaken the Midas Money or something like that, huh?
At this rate, 「C」's chain reaction will...
Don't waver!
Return to Japan and start planning to gather defence funds!
Gather those funds.
Understood!
Masakaki!
You called?
Start spinning the rotary press again!
Very soon, you'll end up using your entire future...
I don't care! Start it up!
You can't do that!
You can't use any more of the future!
Even if you scream, without power, you can accomplish nothing.
In order to make your intentions reality, you need power.
There is no way for you to stop me.
I won't let you do this.
How? You have no way of doing so.
Oh my, what's this? Yoga-san, the card you were carrying...
...was black, was it not?
My my, this certainly complicates things.
Mikuni-san, if he has that, Yoga-san can reverse the rotary press.
You bastard! Why would you do such a thing?
Why? Hmm...
It must be because everything I do is an order from above.
Masakaki, reverse the rotary press!
Do you think I'll let you do that?
Do you think you can win against me?
I will win.
I approve this deal.
