[00:06] ---
    I fear nothing,
    I won't be afraid anymore

[00:10] ---
    Colored red and black
[00:13] ---
    This fate and my memories of tomorrow
[00:17] ---
    I hold them close and journey on
[00:33] ---
    Raising my hand to the full moon
[00:37] ---
    I watched the flowing blood
[00:40] ---
    Watched my immutable
    destiny and pulsing heartbeat

[00:47] ---
    They will never mingle
[00:50] ---
    But to make the threshold
    between light and darkness

[00:54] ---
    Melt into one another
[00:55] ---
    I am guided by the story
    beginning here and now

[01:02] ---
    Let us shatter the
    horizon and live together

[01:06] ---
    Though our paths differ
[01:09] ---
    I will be by your side,
    I will not leave it

[01:13] ---
    I will protect you with both my hands
[01:16] ---
    No one can stop it,
    but I will not give up

[01:20] ---
    Clenching fangs and fists tight
[01:23] ---
    This fate and my memories of tomorrow
[01:27] ---
    I will hold them close and protect you
[01:40] ---
    I'm sorry.
[01:43] ---
    You are too kind, so...
[01:49] ---
    It is not because I am kind.
[01:51] ---
    To me, being with you is
    what brings me happiness.
[01:58] ---
    Jiro!
[02:20] ---
    I can see the moon...
[02:24] ---
    But my moon is here.
[02:30] ---
    My full moon...
[02:51] ---
    Oh!
[02:53] ---
    "Kitakaro"
[02:54] ---
    Come on over! We've got pork buns!
[02:57] ---
    They look yummy!
[02:58] ---
    No! If I make a side trip,
    Brother will punish me again!

[03:03] ---
    "Cake Set"
[03:12] ---
    Owowowow...
[03:14] ---
    Yo.
[03:15] ---
    Looks like you made it out safe.
[03:17] ---
    Oh, is the lady okay?
[03:20] ---
    She won't die.
[03:22] ---
    More importantly, what happened
    to your bro and the Company woman?
[03:25] ---
    We ran in separate directions.
[03:26] ---
    And we said goodbye to Mimi.
[03:29] ---
    Then, you're alone?
[03:30] ---
    Yeah.
[03:32] ---
    Then come with us.
[03:34] ---
    Our friends are waiting at our hideout.
[03:36] ---
    Really?! Oh, but I have to help Brother.
[03:40] ---
    All the more reason to
    come along. We'll help you.
[03:44] ---
    You will?!
[03:45] ---
    Wong seems awfully fond of
    your bro, and I'm interested, too.
[03:51] ---
    In both your bro, and you.
[03:53] ---
    Me?
[03:58] ---
    Kotaro!
[04:00] ---
    Mimi!
[04:02] ---
    Would you mind if I come along, too?
[04:06] ---
    You'll be treated like a prisoner, Company.
[04:07] ---
    I understand that.
[04:09] ---
    But I would like to be heard as well.
[04:11] ---
    Fantastic. Then I'll show you the way.
[04:15] ---
    To our roving kinsmen's abode...
[04:17] ---
    Yay!
[04:20] ---
    Together again, huh?
[04:26] ---
    Wake up!
[04:30] ---
    What is this?! Honestly!
[04:33] ---
    Your treatment of prisoners
    leaves much to be desired!
[04:36] ---
    Disrupting my peaceful slumber!
    And two nights in a row, no less!
[04:39] ---
    Shut up! How dare you sleep
    soundly when you're a prisoner?!
[04:43] ---
    The sun has not set yet, has it?
[04:45] ---
    It is only natural for a
    vampire to sleep during the day.
[04:48] ---
    I'm telling you to get a clue!
[04:51] ---
    What the hell is with
    your relaxed attitude?!
[04:53] ---
    Quite the confidence, don't you think?
[04:55] ---
    I must undoubtedly be
    a vampire of some renown.
[04:59] ---
    You cannot treat me too negligently.
[05:01] ---
    Sheesh.
[05:02] ---
    Let me get this straight.
[05:04] ---
    You're saying you know
    nothing about those refugees?
[05:08] ---
    Just so. I would not lie.
[05:13] ---
    Then you can be honest
    about your own identity as well.
[05:16] ---
    Enough with that already.
    I told you, did I not?
[05:18] ---
    That I am just a member
    of a broken bloodline.
[05:21] ---
    My only blood relation
    is my younger brother now.
[05:23] ---
    And wouldn't you like to know
    where this younger brother of yours is?
[05:29] ---
    I will warn you now.
[05:31] ---
    If my younger brother is harmed,
[05:34] ---
    I will be able to detect it,
    even if I am apart from him.
[05:36] ---
    Do not lay a hand on him, ever.
[05:40] ---
    If we do...
[05:41] ---
    What then?
[05:43] ---
    I am telling you, "do not."
[05:48] ---
    You'll have to tell that
    to those guys, and not us.
[05:54] ---
    Your younger brother
    made contact with them.
[05:56] ---
    The Compromiser's with them, too.
[05:59] ---
    Mimiko is? Why?
[06:01] ---
    Hell if I know! The Mediation Department
    is always mucking around in the field.
[06:04] ---
    Damn it!
[06:04] ---
    Where are those two?
[06:06] ---
    Chinatown. We're about to strike now.
[06:09] ---
    Urban warfare?!
[06:11] ---
    Escalating this conflict will only
    make things worse, not better!
[06:16] ---
    There's a Kowloon Child
    masquerading among them.
[06:23] ---
    That cannot be...
[06:25] ---
    It doesn't mean that
    they're all Kowloon Children,
[06:29] ---
    but since we don't know that for certain,
[06:31] ---
    we'll wipe out every last one of them.
[06:35] ---
    It's time. Let's go.
[06:37] ---
    Yes, Sir!
[06:38] ---
    Please wait! I will come with you!
[06:40] ---
    This is a problem that'll
    be solved by human hands.
[06:43] ---
    Miss even one of them and
    they will continue to multiply!
[06:46] ---
    You cannot handle them with
    your troop strength and equipment!
[06:49] ---
    Don't underestimate us!
[07:02] ---
    Nice stunt you pulled out there.
[07:05] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:06] ---
    This afternoon in the park.
[07:08] ---
    Just hushing up that big
    commotion cost a fortune.
[07:11] ---
    And we have nothing to show for it.
[07:13] ---
    How do you plan to make
    excuses for that...?
[07:15] ---
    Shut up!
[07:16] ---
    It's not my problem if the public finds
    out there're still vampires around!
[07:19] ---
    If it's to get rid
    of Kowloon Children,
[07:22] ---
    we won't hesitate,
    no matter what the cost!
[07:26] ---
    The bigwigs can go
    eat shit for all I care!
[07:32] ---
    You're so vulgar, Bad darling!
[07:38] ---
    Why don't you wait for backup?
[07:40] ---
    We're in talks with the
    affiliate houses right now.
[07:42] ---
    Time's a-wasting.
[07:44] ---
    If we can't pull it off, I'll
    leave the rest to you guys.
[07:47] ---
    Ten years ago in Hong Kong,
[07:49] ---
    humans fought
    alongside vampires, you know.
[07:53] ---
    Such tragic heroism.
[08:02] ---
    You take these like this and...
[08:06] ---
    See? A crane!
[08:09] ---
    A crane!
    Here.
[08:10] ---
    All right! I'm gonna do one, too!
[08:12] ---
    What? Kotaro, you know
    how to make something?
[08:15] ---
    I learned from my brother.
[08:17] ---
    Really?
[08:19] ---
    Ta-da!
[08:20] ---
    Oh!
[08:21] ---
    What's that?
[08:22] ---
    There!
[08:32] ---
    Miss Wong!
[08:37] ---
    It flew!
[08:40] ---
    One more!
[08:46] ---
    Uh-oh.
[08:48] ---
    Come on, go after her.
[08:50] ---
    Roger!
[08:51] ---
    Chan, wait for me!
[08:54] ---
    I haven't seen Chan
    like that in a long time.
[08:57] ---
    Is your injury all right now?
[08:59] ---
    Yeah. Since I got a fresh meal.
[09:04] ---
    I see...
[09:06] ---
    He... Jiro Mochizuki
    was pretty beat up, too.
[09:10] ---
    Why didn't you let him drink your blood?
[09:12] ---
    What?! Well, that was...
[09:15] ---
    You're embarrassed? How rare.
[09:17] ---
    B-But you use your
    mouth to... Well, that is...
[09:21] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[09:23] ---
    In turn, you're rewarded
    with exquisite pleasure.
[09:26] ---
    The splendor of which doesn't
    even compare with sex.
[09:28] ---
    B-Be that as it may,
[09:30] ---
    it carries, you know, a
    psychologically addictive quality,
[09:33] ---
    so Company employees
    are strictly prohibited
[09:35] ---
    from allowing ourselves to be bitten!
[09:36] ---
    I-It's regulation!
[09:38] ---
    Besides, he could be...
[09:42] ---
    You're wrong.
[09:43] ---
    He's not a Kowloon Child.
[09:46] ---
    You know something, don't you?
[09:48] ---
    About Jiro...
[09:50] ---
    It's just rumor, though.
[09:52] ---
    Kin-Killer... He's famous.
[09:56] ---
    If you'd let him drink your blood,
[09:59] ---
    he should've easily gotten
    past the ambush earlier today.
[10:01] ---
    Surely not...
[10:03] ---
    In point of fact, he had them
    completely overwhelmed last night.
[10:06] ---
    That can't be...
[10:07] ---
    The Company's suppression team
[10:09] ---
    is one of the best anti-vampire
    units in the world.
[10:13] ---
    You'll understand in time.
[10:15] ---
    Chan!
[10:17] ---
    Wait up!
[10:28] ---
    What you said earlier...
[10:29] ---
    That you would accept Jiro,
    even if he's a Kowloon Child...
[10:33] ---
    Were you serious?
[10:36] ---
    I was serious.
[10:37] ---
    Why?! You're aware of how
    infectious they are, aren't you?!
[10:41] ---
    Normally, humans will not turn unless
    we drink the blood of a Black Blood.
[10:45] ---
    However, they can turn
    humans just by sucking their blood
[10:48] ---
    and they can even convert other
    Black Bloods to their bloodline.
[10:51] ---
    If we allow them to exist unchecked,
[10:54] ---
    it will spell ruin.
[10:57] ---
    Back in my country, there's no
    place left for broken bloodlines.
[11:01] ---
    It's a wretched existence.
[11:03] ---
    It wasn't an easy journey.
[11:05] ---
    Even before we got here, two of
    our group left without explanation.
[11:11] ---
    As if they had anywhere to go.
[11:13] ---
    Just as humans fear
    and persecute vampires,
[11:17] ---
    vampires also fear
    and persecute Kowloon Children.
[11:20] ---
    Forsaken by all out there,
    we're no different than them.
[11:25] ---
    No, you're wrong!
[11:26] ---
    What?!
[11:27] ---
    It's been ten years since
    that bloodline was born.
[11:30] ---
    If even one of them had survived,
[11:32] ---
    at least half the world's
    population should be of their bloodline.
[11:35] ---
    But that's not the case.
[11:37] ---
    Why do you suppose that is?
[11:38] ---
    That's...
[11:40] ---
    It's because they kill
    the people they've bitten.
[11:44] ---
    They take the lives of their blood
    relatives that they have turned.
[11:48] ---
    By no means are you the same.
[11:56] ---
    Chan!
[11:59] ---
    Huh?
[12:00] ---
    Chan, where are you?!
[12:02] ---
    Chan!
[12:07] ---
    There it is.
[12:08] ---
    Kotaro...
[12:11] ---
    Chan, where were you?
[12:13] ---
    I found the plane.
[12:17] ---
    Chan?
[12:19] ---
    Kotaro...
[12:44] ---
    I'm sorry, Jiro darling!
[12:48] ---
    Rinsuke's super repentant!
[12:49] ---
    A bunch of so-called unforeseen
    events happened one after another.
[12:52] ---
    Because, I mean, you
    don't even have a cell phone.
[12:54] ---
    There's just no way to get
    a hold of you, you know?
[12:56] ---
    You're dead!
[12:57] ---
    Oh, dear, are you angry?
[12:59] ---
    I was a fool to have left it
    to you to arrange for a ship.
[13:03] ---
    Please! What happened
    was a coincidence.
[13:05] ---
    It was all a beyond
    unfortunate coincidence!
[13:09] ---
    I will go out right away. Where is it?
[13:11] ---
    That's the spirit.
[13:18] ---
    Our young members make
    me a little concerned.
[13:22] ---
    Look after them for me.
[13:38] ---
    You certainly do look better that way.
[13:42] ---
    There are many things I
    would like to say to you,
[13:45] ---
    but I shall settle things with
    the ghosts of the past first.
[13:48] ---
    Right, I'll show you the way.
[13:50] ---
    Welcome back, Silver Sword.
[13:55] ---
    I want to ask you one thing.
[13:57] ---
    Yes?
[13:58] ---
    Why did you come with us?
[14:00] ---
    What? That's because...
[14:02] ---
    I'm still inexperienced,
[14:05] ---
    but I wanted to see things
    through to the end anyway.
[14:08] ---
    I'm a Compromiser, after all.
[14:09] ---
    Even though they may
    be Kowloon Children?
[14:13] ---
    I have nowhere else to go
    except for the Company, too.
[14:17] ---
    Since I'm an orphan.
[14:19] ---
    But when I had nowhere to go,
    the Company took me in and raised me.
[14:24] ---
    That's why, now,
[14:26] ---
    I want to be the one to tell
    everyone, "You're not alone."
[14:31] ---
    Being forsaken is such a
    horrible feeling, you know?
[14:37] ---
    Oh, but it's true!
[14:39] ---
    In the Special Zone, it's not rare
    to find kids without any relatives.
[14:43] ---
    Are all Compromisers like you?
[14:47] ---
    Like me?! What's that supposed to mean?!
[14:53] ---
    I've decided.
[14:54] ---
    Would it be possible for you talk
    to the Company on our behalf?
[14:57] ---
    What? Then...
[14:59] ---
    I'd like them to consider our
    entry into the Special Zone.
[15:02] ---
    If they'll give us a place to live,
[15:05] ---
    we'll accept any conditions that
    are set forth and follow any orders.
[15:08] ---
    Please...
[15:09] ---
    Please do not forsake us.
[15:14] ---
    I won't!
[15:16] ---
    Wh-What's that?!
[15:18] ---
    Oh, Miss Wong!
[15:21] ---
    The suppression team! Damn those guys!
[15:29] ---
    Garlic gas!
[15:31] ---
    You guys, stop...
[15:41] ---
    Wait. It's the Compromiser.
[15:46] ---
    You okay? Can you get up?
[15:50] ---
    Oh, hey!
[16:05] ---
    Stop this!!
[16:12] ---
    They are under the care
    of the Mediation Department!
[16:15] ---
    Stop fighting immediately!
[16:18] ---
    What are you, idiots?! Continue!
[16:22] ---
    Do you have any idea what you're doing?!
[16:25] ---
    This is nothing but a massacre!
[16:27] ---
    This isn't a matter for a lowly
    Compromiser to interfere in!
[16:30] ---
    These actions are already far removed
    from the Company's regulations!
[16:34] ---
    Why are you doing this?!
[16:36] ---
    I'll explain the circumstances later.
[16:39] ---
    Let me go!
[16:40] ---
    Damn it all! Let go!
[16:44] ---
    That's enough, Mimiko.
[16:46] ---
    You've done plenty.
[16:50] ---
    Miss Wong.
[16:52] ---
    We'll surrender. We have no
    intention of resisting any further.
[16:57] ---
    So...
[16:58] ---
    please spare the lives of my friends.
[17:03] ---
    Shoot them!
[17:05] ---
    What are you doing?!
[17:06] ---
    Shoot them! Wipe them out!
[17:12] ---
    Don't!
[17:19] ---
    Hide Hand?!
[17:21] ---
    As we thought, there's a
    Kowloon Child among them!
[17:24] ---
    That's ridiculous! We're just
    a group of broken bloodlines!
[17:28] ---
    All the more reason you wouldn't
    be able to distinguish one in your midst!
[17:32] ---
    And no puny vampire
    of some broken bloodline
[17:34] ---
    should be capable of using
    the Hide Hand technique!
[17:36] ---
    Am I wrong?!
[17:38] ---
    That's...
[17:39] ---
    But we've been together all this
    time since we left our country!
[17:42] ---
    There's no way we wouldn't know...
[17:44] ---
    two of our group left...
[17:47] ---
    It's because they kill
    the people they've bitten.
[17:49] ---
    It can't be...
[17:52] ---
    Who?
[17:53] ---
    Who is it?!
[17:55] ---
    Get a grip, boss.
[17:57] ---
    After I went to the
    trouble of saving you...
[17:59] ---
    What happened to the gutsiness
    you showed when we left our country?
[18:02] ---
    Let's hurry up and send
    them off in a bloodbath!
[18:08] ---
    Tsang...
[18:09] ---
    It made me so happy, you know.
[18:11] ---
    When you said earlier today that you'd
    welcome even one of my bloodline.
[18:16] ---
    People tend to hate my kind, after all.
[18:19] ---
    We're starved for kindness, you see.
[18:23] ---
    Damn it! Open fire!
[18:25] ---
    It's no use.
[18:32] ---
    Now, let's get started.
[18:46] ---
    Kotaro!
[18:47] ---
    Where's Kotaro?!
[18:52] ---
    Fire! We can't let
    them multiply any further!
[19:12] ---
    Damn it! These guys are being controlled!
[19:15] ---
    Call it being liberated.
[19:26] ---
    Now...
[19:27] ---
    I owe you my thanks.
[19:29] ---
    What?
[19:31] ---
    After all, thanks to you...
[19:38] ---
    Above! Go!
[19:55] ---
    So he makes his entrance...
[19:58] ---
    Jiro!
[20:00] ---
    Kotaro's not around! He might be...
[20:03] ---
    I know. He is still fine.
[20:07] ---
    Where is my younger brother?
[20:10] ---
    Try extracting the
    answer from me yourself!
[20:15] ---
    What's this?
[20:16] ---
    Succumbing to my Eye Raid that easily?
[20:19] ---
    Were you half-dead even
    before you joined the fight?
[20:22] ---
    I did hear you fell into the ocean,
    but talk about pathetic.
[20:26] ---
    There goes the Kin-Killer's reputation.
[20:28] ---
    Kin-Killer?
[20:30] ---
    Could he be the Silver Sword?
[20:34] ---
    Silver Sword?
[20:35] ---
    That is enough chatter. Answer me.
[20:46] ---
    Kotaro!
[20:48] ---
    Chan!
[20:49] ---
    There ya go. An emotional reunion.
[20:57] ---
    Chan!
[21:03] ---
    Don't!
[21:08] ---
    Eat this!
[21:12] ---
    Jiro!
[21:17] ---
    That hurts like hell!
[21:19] ---
    Not bad for a half-dead bastard!
[21:22] ---
    That's just perfect!
[21:24] ---
    Let's start the game as planned!
[21:36] ---
    Do you mean to run?!
[21:37] ---
    It's no fun here.
[21:39] ---
    We need a change of scene.
[21:41] ---
    The Special Zone?!
[21:42] ---
    It is no use! That place
    is guarded by a barrier!
[21:46] ---
    Kowloon Children will not be able
    to enter without an invitation!
[21:49] ---
    We've already been invited.
[21:54] ---
    You're not gonna forsake us,
    right, Compromiser?
[22:03] ---
    Damn it! You're not getting away!
[22:08] ---
    We're gonna go on ahead.
    Don't let us get bored!
[22:13] ---
    Kotaro!
[22:17] ---
    Kotaro!
[22:18] ---
    Kotaro!
[22:24] ---
    In my dreams, my secrets speak
[22:31] ---
    Of the sorrows I come face-to-face with
[22:38] ---
    The sick promise that crept in foul,
    I never knew...

[22:49] ---
    Dreams I can't even look back on
[22:53] ---
    My memories, faded
[22:56] ---
    A shattered heart,
    even the pain has dulled

[23:03] ---
    My soul has burned out
    and turned to cold ash

[23:11] ---
    Welling tears, full of hurt
[23:18] ---
    So tell me... tell me...
    the reason why...

[23:22] ---
    How can you do this to me...
[23:25] ---
    You break my heart...
    And you made me cry...

[23:32] ---
    So tell me... tell me...
    the reason why...

[23:35] ---
    How can you do this to me...
[23:39] ---
    You break my heart...
    And you made me cry...

[23:54] ---
    What the hell do you know?! Eh?!
[23:56] ---
    You're of "the bloodline
    that has transcended death"!

[23:59] ---
    You are right, I cannot understand.
[24:02] ---
    But neither can you understand
    the destiny of my bloodline.

[24:06] ---
    I will not allow you to say that you do.
