1"Sophist"
Transcription: "Kiben-ka" (Japanese: 詭弁家)		Kenta KumadaTōko MachidaNobuyoshi AraiJuly 13, 2021 (2021-07-13)

Akira Shiroyanagi is a regular student who lives a placid life playing games non-stop while acing tests in school. On the way to school one day, a bandaged man exits a car and attacks him, but with sufficient planning Akira successfully defeats him. A cat girl named Mion suddenly appears, congratulating him on his momentary victory for an "unwinnable fight", and shoots a hole through his arm and abdomen, seemingly killing him.

He awakens uninjured in a lavishly-furnished room filled with other people like him, all of them handcuffed. Mion appears and explains that they have been removed from the national registry and instead placed here to be experimental test subjects for abilities, demonstrating her own ability to turn her hand into a cannon. The participants here were chosen entirely at random, but Mion appears to have detailed knowledge about everyone. With the cuffs preventing them from moving too freely and using their abilities, the participants are led to their own rooms for the meantime before the first program, a one-on-one battle, begins to find out their abilities and rest. Akira is matched up during the program later with a delinquent Madoka Kirisaki, who transforms a stick into a razor-sharp sword and attacks him. With their match taking place inside a school, Akira lures Kirisaki into a science lab and convinces him that he has seen his ability before – through Mion. Turning his hand into a cannon, Akira forces Kirisaki to surrender. In a flashback, it is revealed that Akira's ability, "Sophist", allows him to have the ability that the other person believes him to have.
2"Demon God"
Transcription: "Kijin" (Japanese: 鬼神)		Yukiyo TeramotoTōko MachidaYukiyo TeramotoJuly 20, 2021 (2021-07-20)
Akira recognises that the key to his ability lies in creating the perfect conditions and timing for his opponent to ask, picture and completely believe in a fake ability he has. In her room, a girl named Yūri Amagake dreams about her coincidentally unlucky past: from accidentally helping someone only to discover he was a stalker, living in a poor environment where her mother constantly brought new men back, and even to her poor affinity with animals. Yūri is matched up with a pervert named Kiryu Kazuto with the ability to determine a person's condition by their smell. Angered and disgusted by him, she knocks him out with her ability, "Demon God", which allows her to quintuple her physical abilities. Yūri resolves to return home to care for her new stepsister Riria who was abused all her life. While Yūri finishes up her battle, Akira has a nightmare of Mion appearing in his room and telling him that the energy from their abilities comes from someone's lifespan on Earth. He is then led into a new room with Yūri, Kirisaki, a muscular man and a skinny businessman, where Mion declares over a speaker how a 5-vs-5 team battle will commence in 2 hours.
3"Trueblade"
Transcription: "Shinken-shi" (Japanese: 真剣師)		Ken'ichi NishidaChabō HigurashiKyōhei Yamamoto
Meigo Naitō		July 27, 2021 (2021-07-27)
The skinny businessman, named Satoru Sawatari, proposes that they introduce one another and formulate a plan. He reveals his ability to turn a button into a rope, Yūri and Kirisaki both reveal theirs, and the muscular man, Shin Kumagiri, reveals his to be the ability to turn invincible for two seconds, though he also refuses to use something that was planted into him without consent. Akira persists in his lie, noting Kirisaki's presence and the risk behind revealing the truth. They arrive at a fancy ring arena, where a member of each team must fight one-on-one against each other, with the final scores determining a team's victory. Akira is shocked because the game's format wound up not in line with the preparation time provided, misleading people into revealing crucial information about their abilities to potential future opponents. For the first round, Sawatori is matched up against a voluptuous woman named Rin Kashii. Rin requests that he forfeit, but Sawatori decides to put up a fifty-fifty coin toss deciding who will win, only for him to be killed the moment he tosses the coin. Kumagiri prepares to defeat a bespectacled young girl named Ringo Tatara without injuring her, but she forfeits instead, much to Rin's chagrin. Ringo recognises that her ability, "Plagiarist" allows her to copy a person's ability for 1/10 the strength, and would hence prove futile against Kumagiri. For the third match, Kirisaki is matched up against a girl, Saeko Zokumyouin, who can turn marbles into huge wrecking balls. He quickly gains the upper hand by unleashing his ability, "Trueblade", which allows him to turn a stick into a sword that can cut through anything.
4"Plagiarist"
Transcription: "Hiniku-ya" (Japanese: 皮肉屋)		Kenta NodaChabō HigurashiKenta Noda
Meigo Naitō		August 3, 2021 (2021-08-03)
By waiting for the right moment, Saeko strikes Kirisaki between the legs, winning the round. Akira, deducing that any penalty for the losers will likely not be death, decides that it is optimal to experiment just what sort of conditions he can activate his ability under, first by threatening Kirisaki and then convincing his opponent Kouji Kitajima of his ability. Kitajima manages to protect himself but Akira quickly disarms him, having figured out his ability to nullify others' abilities provided he has one hand touching the ground. He concludes that he can specify who the "other person" is to activate his ability, provided there is some mutual engagement between them. For the final match, Yūri reunites with her stalker, who has deluded himself into believing that Yūri truly loves him after he tried to make her commit a lover's suicide together. Despite hardening his body into iron, she knocks him out of the ring. With their team clinching victory, Mion declares that the loser team's girls must serve the winning team food in embarrassing bunny-girl suits, while the men run around providing water. The third program proceeds right away, with the teams instructed to choose from a different set of paths each and complete the instructions provided. Behind them, Mion ominously states how the loser team's real penalty has yet to actually come. Noting Yūri's potential, Akira plants a seed of trust by purposely giving her a handkerchief that is apparently important to him and making her promise to return it which makes her blush.
