*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!

*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.*
