*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*
**[00:53] ---**
*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*
**[01:43] ---**
Mochituki...
**[01:45] ---**
Mochidukii...
**[01:47] ---**
Mochi...
**[01:48] ---**
Oh, really!
**[01:50] ---**
What is wrong with just "Jiro,"
as you have always called me?
**[01:53] ---**
I don't want to!
**[01:54] ---**
I think it will be difficult, my lady.
**[01:58] ---**
Call me "Alice"!
**[01:59] ---**
Then, please call me "Jiro" as well...
**[02:01] ---**
No way!
**[02:03] ---**
I want to be able to
call you by your full name.
**[02:06] ---**
Jiro Motizuki...
**[02:09] ---**
Jiro Mochiduki...
**[02:12] ---**
Mochi...
**[02:13] ---**
Ooh!
**[02:15] ---**
It is "Jiro Mochizuki."
**[02:19] ---**
Say, what does Motizuki mean?
**[02:22] ---**
That is "Mochizuki," you know.
**[02:24] ---**
Oh, you meanie.
**[02:28] ---**
It is that.
**[02:29] ---**
The full moon?
**[02:32] ---**
The full moon!
**[02:33] ---**
So you're the full moon!
**[02:36] ---**
Jiro Motizuki! Jiro Motizuki!
**[02:39] ---**
Mochiduki! Mochiduki!
**[02:42] ---**
Mochituki! Mochituki!
**[03:20] ---**
Auguste Wyker!
**[03:22] ---**
An acquaintance of yours?
**[03:24] ---**
You must be joking.
**[03:25] ---**
He's a notorious villain.
**[03:27] ---**
He's one of the Coven's extremists
and one of Zelman Clock's cronies.
**[03:30] ---**
Zelman Clock...
**[03:33] ---**
Are you referring to
Crimson-Eyed Zelman?
**[03:36] ---**
He is in the Special Zone...?
**[03:38] ---**
That's right. He's the
one running the Coven.
**[03:42] ---**
I see.
**[03:43] ---**
The Coven is a group
**[03:44] ---**
that totally defies the Company
and the Special Zone's conventions.
**[03:48] ---**
And Zelman's at the center of it all.
**[03:50] ---**
You know about him?
**[03:52] ---**
Yes, that is the Special Zone, for you.
**[03:55] ---**
It seems some rather unexpected
characters reside here.
**[03:58] ---**
I'll have you know,
I'm Zelman's right hand man.
**[04:01] ---**
If something were to happen
to me, he won't stay quiet...
**[04:04] ---**
Is that right?
**[04:05] ---**
Why you! Do you plan to
stir up trouble with Zelman?!
**[04:10] ---**
Honestly, I have no desire
to fight with Crimson-Eyed Zelman.
**[04:14] ---**
Since he is scary.
**[04:15] ---**
Then...
**[04:15] ---**
More to you than to me, I mean.
**[04:18] ---**
Will you go home and make
a pathetic appeal to Zelman?
**[04:20] ---**
Ask him to avenge you because
the Silver Sword mocked you?
**[04:23] ---**
Bastard...
**[04:25] ---**
Bastard! You bastard!
**[04:27] ---**
He's not strong, but he's bragging
that his friend's strong, right?
**[04:31] ---**
Lame, isn't it?
**[04:32] ---**
What? Uh, well...
**[04:34] ---**
I agree.
**[04:36] ---**
Now, I would like for you
to answer one question.
**[04:39] ---**
Wh-What's that?
**[04:41] ---**
Was this attack ordered by Zelman?
**[04:46] ---**
No.
**[04:50] ---**
He acted on his own.
**[04:52] ---**
You appear to be human.
**[04:54] ---**
Who are you?
**[04:56] ---**
Sayuka Shiramine.
**[04:58] ---**
I serve Zelman Clock.
**[05:00] ---**
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
**[05:02] ---**
My master wishes to have
an audience with you.
**[05:07] ---**
Would you be so kind
as to come with me?
**[05:10] ---**
Come on, Hibari.
**[05:12] ---**
It might be a hot rumor, but don't
you think that's too good to be true?
**[05:16] ---**
But it's true!
**[05:18] ---**
The person taking the Silver Sword
around and acting as his guide
**[05:20] ---**
is none other than
one of our own employees!
**[05:23] ---**
Mimiko Katsuragi, huh?
**[05:25] ---**
Not a name I've really heard.
**[05:27] ---**
She's my senior! My senior!
**[05:30] ---**
Okay, roger that.
**[05:32] ---**
Thanks for your info as always, Hibari.
**[05:34] ---**
Stories are the lifeblood
of an information broker, after all.
**[05:36] ---**
I am only returning
the favor for the other day.
**[05:40] ---**
It's give and take!
**[05:41] ---**
But I sure sympathize.
**[05:43] ---**
Huh?
**[05:45] ---**
This Miss Mimiko Katsuragi's
in for a tough time.
**[05:48] ---**
Undoubtedly...
**[05:58] ---**
I have brought them.
**[06:06] ---**
So you're here.
**[06:11] ---**
Exactly.
**[06:13] ---**
You and I are different creatures.
**[06:15] ---**
Had you forgotten that, compromiser?
**[06:21] ---**
It's written all over
your face, young lady.
**[06:25] ---**
You're pretty, mister!
**[06:28] ---**
Yo.
**[06:29] ---**
Hello. I'm Kotaro Mochizuki.
**[06:32] ---**
Oh-ho...
**[06:34] ---**
It seems you're the only one
in this bunch with any manners, boy.
**[06:40] ---**
You've got yourself an odd
little brother, Silver Sword.
**[06:43] ---**
A slightly different type
of reincarnation than the Chaos line.
**[06:48] ---**
Could it be that you and she have...
**[06:51] ---**
No, unfortunately, I've never met her.
**[06:54] ---**
But if you live long enough,
you tend to hear all sorts of stories.
**[07:07] ---**
My treat.
**[07:08] ---**
Yay!
**[07:09] ---**
Relax.
**[07:11] ---**
Being on edge will only
be to your detriment.
**[07:19] ---**
Go ahead.
**[07:21] ---**
Thanks for the food!
**[07:24] ---**
What a lowbrow reception
for Crimson-Eyed Zelman.
**[07:28] ---**
What's this? Still miffed?
**[07:31] ---**
I am not miffed!
**[07:33] ---**
What a sourpuss compared
to your younger brother.
**[07:35] ---**
I see no evidence
of the Sage's teachings.
**[07:38] ---**
Please do not bring up that topic.
**[07:40] ---**
Surely, your business
does not concern it.
**[07:42] ---**
Well, true enough.
**[07:45] ---**
Let us formally...
**[07:49] ---**
start from the beginning.
**[08:00] ---**
It is my pleasure to make your
acquaintance, Zelman Clock.
**[08:03] ---**
The prince with eyes the color of blood.
**[08:05] ---**
O ancient blood of
Warrior Asura's bloodline.
**[08:09] ---**
My name is Jiro Mochizuki.
**[08:12] ---**
I am of the Sage Eve's bloodline.
**[08:15] ---**
Since the battle of the fragrant harbor,
**[08:17] ---**
I have also been called the Silver Sword.
**[08:19] ---**
Though I have lived a hundred
years, my pulse is yet shallow,
**[08:23] ---**
so may your course be unhindered
**[08:26] ---**
and may our hearts both beat strongly.
**[08:32] ---**
How informal, you stripling.
**[08:35] ---**
Auguste acted precipitously.
For what it's worth, I apologize.
**[08:39] ---**
I appreciate it.
**[08:40] ---**
So, are you linking up
with the Company, after all?
**[08:43] ---**
What?
**[08:44] ---**
What's this? The plan hasn't reached you?
**[08:47] ---**
Your executives want
the Silver Sword for themselves.
**[08:50] ---**
What? Oh, no, well...
**[08:54] ---**
*That Jinnai...*
**[08:55] ---**
*To think he assigned someone like her,
without even explaining the situation...*
**[09:00] ---**
If you have no intention
of befriending anyone,
**[09:02] ---**
depending on the Company
is a fine decision, I'm sure.
**[09:04] ---**
That way, you can maintain a neutral
position with regards to every House.
**[09:09] ---**
Neutral? You must be joking.
**[09:14] ---**
For the sole reason that it has
the problem of coexisting with humans,
**[09:17] ---**
the Company would never try
to embrace us nuisances, either.
**[09:21] ---**
Jiro...
**[09:22] ---**
Huh...
**[09:23] ---**
That's not true, Brother.
**[09:25] ---**
Mimi's being really good to us.
**[09:29] ---**
The Company's saying that
they'll welcome us, too, right?
**[09:33] ---**
That is for their own gains.
**[09:36] ---**
You can't know that!
**[09:38] ---**
The Company's people need us, right?
**[09:41] ---**
Then what's wrong with lending a hand?
**[09:46] ---**
You are right, Kotaro.
**[09:48] ---**
People's hearts have both
a hidden and open side.
**[09:52] ---**
Just because there is a hidden
agenda does not mean
**[09:54] ---**
we must assume the open side
is meaningless.
**[09:56] ---**
Right? Right?
**[09:58] ---**
Yes.
**[09:59] ---**
It seems your brother
was a little overwrought.
**[10:02] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[10:04] ---**
Unbelievable.
**[10:06] ---**
Your name's Kotaro, was it, boy?
**[10:09] ---**
The truth is, I'm interested
in you two, too.
**[10:13] ---**
How about it?
**[10:14] ---**
Why not join forces with us,
you and your big brother?
**[10:19] ---**
I'm flattered, but you're a bad
person, right, Mr. Zelman?
**[10:23] ---**
Yeah, but being a heel
has its good points.
**[10:28] ---**
But I still like being
the champion of justice.
**[10:31] ---**
Because evil will always...
**[10:33] ---**
be defeated!
**[10:34] ---**
Is that right?
**[10:37] ---**
That's too bad.
**[10:39] ---**
But if you ever tire
of the Company's justice,
**[10:42] ---**
don't hesitate to show up
on my doorstep.
**[10:47] ---**
I don't know. I think you'll
just waste your time waiting.
**[10:50] ---**
Since both Brother
and I are vampires of justice.
**[10:57] ---**
Silver Sword, Kotaro, compromiser...
**[11:00] ---**
You three have my thanks for your trouble.
**[11:03] ---**
This was truly a pleasant way
to stave off boredom.
**[11:06] ---**
When next we meet,
we may be enemies,
**[11:08] ---**
but I look forward to seeing you again.
**[11:14] ---**
Farewell.
**[11:19] ---**
Why does Zelman allow
them to leave his grasp?
**[11:25] ---**
Please calm down.
**[11:26] ---**
It has not been determined that
the Silver Sword will be our enemy yet.
**[11:31] ---**
Crimson-Eyed Zelman's
fangs have certainly dulled.
**[11:35] ---**
Perhaps he's lost his nerve
at the thought of the name Kin-Killer.
**[11:45] ---**
You arrogant fool!
**[11:47] ---**
Damn it! Damn it!
**[11:48] ---**
After the humiliation I had to suffer,
**[11:50] ---**
don't think the great Auguste Wyker
will back down without a fight!
**[11:55] ---**
I'll make you sorry, Silver Sword!
**[12:08] ---**
Unfortunately, he is busy right now,
so please come back some other day.
**[12:15] ---**
What? Wai...
**[12:17] ---**
Wha...
**[12:18] ---**
This can't be...
**[12:23] ---**
They must have their
own reasons for doing so.
**[12:26] ---**
It is just as I said
back at Zelman's place.
**[12:29] ---**
But then...
**[12:34] ---**
That was unexpected.
**[12:35] ---**
To think that the Sei
and Warlock Houses
**[12:37] ---**
would both refuse
to accept the Silver Sword.
**[12:42] ---**
I was sure they would jump
at bringing him into their fold,
**[12:44] ---**
thereby strengthening
their influence with us, but...
**[12:48] ---**
It means there is a reason
that even we do not know about.
**[12:52] ---**
The reason the affiliate
houses show deference to us
**[12:56] ---**
is to give humans the leadership.
**[13:02] ---**
Or at the very least, because
there needs to be a public show of it.
**[13:06] ---**
And for them to keep
something a secret from us...
**[13:10] ---**
I will investigate this immediately.
**[13:15] ---**
Please do.
**[13:19] ---**
Mimi, what're we gonna do now?
**[13:22] ---**
For now, let's go back to my
place. I'll cook you something.
**[13:26] ---**
Yay!
**[13:29] ---**
Mimi?
**[13:31] ---**
There's a crucial question
I hadn't asked you yet.
**[13:34] ---**
What is that?
**[13:35] ---**
Jiro, answer me honestly.
**[13:37] ---**
Why did you come to the Special Zone?
**[13:40] ---**
What in the world
have you come to do?
**[13:45] ---**
Look me in the eye!
**[13:46] ---**
Uh, well, that is...
**[13:49] ---**
Come on, look straight at me!
**[13:50] ---**
Okay...
**[13:52] ---**
If you use Eye Raid on me,
I'll beat the crap out of you!
**[13:55] ---**
I have no intention of doing that, but...
**[13:57] ---**
Answer me.
**[13:59] ---**
Well...
**[14:01] ---**
Hey, there!
**[14:03] ---**
Over here!
**[14:04] ---**
Oh, what have you
been doing, Jiro darling?!
**[14:08] ---**
You're late, you greenhorn!
**[14:10] ---**
What?!
**[14:15] ---**
Well, you know, I'd feel bad
imposing on a girl's room.
**[14:19] ---**
That does not make it right to force
the Lord Dragon to dine outdoors...
**[14:22] ---**
It is fine.
**[14:23] ---**
But...
**[14:24] ---**
It is like a picnic.
**[14:27] ---**
It is fun.
**[14:28] ---**
I see. I am happy to hear that.
**[14:32] ---**
In that case, I shall refrain from
words of disapproval just for tonight.
**[14:35] ---**
It is more insulting to the Lord Dragon,
to make a promise you cannot keep.
**[14:39] ---**
What did you say?! Who would...
**[14:42] ---**
What have you come here
for in the first place?!
**[14:45] ---**
I am not obligated to answer you.
**[14:48] ---**
Then leave!
**[14:49] ---**
Nor am I obligated to do as you say.
**[14:52] ---**
I'm saying you're a nuisance here!
**[14:53] ---**
That is hardly my problem.
**[14:56] ---**
That man is the general
manager of Marine Bank!
**[14:59] ---**
Talking to him like that is...
**[15:01] ---**
It is fine.
**[15:02] ---**
But you have certainly reincarnated
into a rather cute form.
**[15:07] ---**
Yes.
**[15:07] ---**
I am glad you are all right.
**[15:10] ---**
I had yet to thank you
for what you did then.
**[15:12] ---**
It is in the past.
**[15:14] ---**
Do not let it weigh on you.
**[15:18] ---**
Say, you're a Black Blood, too, right?
**[15:20] ---**
You're the big shot that lives in that
mansion we went to earlier, right?
**[15:23] ---**
Right.
**[15:24] ---**
That's awesome!
Your name is Sei, right?
**[15:27] ---**
Just call me "Sei."
**[15:28] ---**
Then you can call me "Kotaro," too.
**[15:31] ---**
Kotaro?
**[15:31] ---**
Yup!
**[15:32] ---**
But you don't talk much, do you, Sei?
**[15:34] ---**
You kind of remind me of the princess!
**[15:40] ---**
My elder sister.
**[15:41] ---**
What?
**[15:42] ---**
The Dark Princess of
the North. My elder sister.
**[15:44] ---**
What? No way! Really?!
**[15:47] ---**
Really. We have the same parents.
**[15:48] ---**
Wow, what a surprise!
**[15:50] ---**
I have not seen her in a long time.
**[15:52] ---**
My elder sister is a great lady.
She has been alive for a long time.
**[15:55] ---**
I am nothing compared to her.
**[15:57] ---**
Wow, that's amazing!
**[15:59] ---**
I never thought I'd get to meet
the princess's younger brother!
**[16:01] ---**
Let's be friends, Sei.
**[16:03] ---**
I just came out of
the princess's sanctuary
**[16:05] ---**
and I don't know much
about the outside world.
**[16:08] ---**
Your name is Cain, right, mister?
**[16:10] ---**
Are you my brother's friend?
**[16:13] ---**
I'm not really...
**[16:14] ---**
We are old acquaintances, you see.
**[16:17] ---**
We often sent him on errands to buy
bread and milk back in the day.
**[16:21] ---**
The hell I did.
**[16:22] ---**
Oh? But you always took care of an
assortment of chores for us, remember?
**[16:26] ---**
You fool! That was for the Lady
Sage and the young mistress...
**[16:33] ---**
I was merely looking
after the Lady Sage.
**[16:36] ---**
It was not for you.
**[16:43] ---**
Um, excuse me. May I say something?
**[16:45] ---**
What is it?
**[16:50] ---**
Today, we went to the Marine
Bank and Sei's residence.
**[16:55] ---**
It was to ask to be
accepted into the House.
**[16:57] ---**
But in both cases...
**[17:01] ---**
Jiro, I...
**[17:02] ---**
Lord Dragon, I shall explain.
**[17:07] ---**
The reason they refused
to deal with you during the day
**[17:10] ---**
was because I ordered it.
As did Lord Dragon.
**[17:13] ---**
Right now, we cannot welcome
the Silver Sword into our Houses.
**[17:18] ---**
Furthermore, we cannot accept his
immigration to the Special Zone, either.
**[17:22] ---**
Wha... Why is that?!
**[17:24] ---**
You're comrades of old, aren't you?!
**[17:27] ---**
Jiro fought against Kowloon Children
to protect the Special Zone!
**[17:31] ---**
That has nothing to do with this.
**[17:34] ---**
Where he goes,
unnecessary commotions arise.
**[17:37] ---**
You must have figured that out by now.
**[17:39] ---**
There is no guarantee that the next
commotion to arise around Jiro
**[17:42] ---**
will be as easily contained
as the float mart incident.
**[17:46] ---**
The name of Silver Sword is nothing
but kindling for conflict here.
**[17:49] ---**
That's terrible! Just because of that,
you're telling him to leave?!
**[17:52] ---**
An old friend,
who has no other family?!
**[17:54] ---**
It's beyond cruel!
**[17:56] ---**
Neither Jiro nor Kotaro has done...
**[17:59] ---**
has done anything wrong.
**[18:02] ---**
The Special Zone...
**[18:04] ---**
The Special Zone is not
as peaceful as it appears.
**[18:09] ---**
I'm sure you find it unsatisfactory.
**[18:12] ---**
But if you are a
Company compromiser,
**[18:14] ---**
you must understand.
**[18:16] ---**
That is your duty.
**[18:17] ---**
But that's so...
**[18:31] ---**
Talk about unlucky...
**[18:34] ---**
Being turned down on all sides...
**[18:37] ---**
Mimiko.
**[18:38] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm sure
there'll be some other way...
**[18:41] ---**
I am truly sorry, but...
**[18:44] ---**
What?
**[18:45] ---**
Might you put us up for the night?
**[18:50] ---**
Shall we go home?
**[18:53] ---**
Yeah!
**[18:59] ---**
Wh-What?
**[19:06] ---**
Enough is enough!
**[19:08] ---**
Have you still not learned your lesson?!
**[19:17] ---**
I told you, didn't I, Silver Sword?
**[19:19] ---**
That you wouldn't get away
with making a fool of me!
**[19:22] ---**
The blade is made of silver!
**[19:25] ---**
Insolent newcomers get their
heads lopped off with this.
**[19:29] ---**
That's the Coven's code.
**[19:34] ---**
Is it not your code?
**[19:36] ---**
True, Zelman doesn't know about it.
**[19:38] ---**
He doesn't care one bit about us anyway!
**[19:42] ---**
Damn it!
**[19:44] ---**
Are you on some kind of strange drug?
**[19:47] ---**
I'm telling you to stop
making light of me!
**[20:04] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:07] ---**
I'm your opponent!
**[20:17] ---**
*No...*
**[20:18] ---**
*If he were, the change
would be instantaneous.*
**[20:22] ---**
This kind of delay should not occur.
**[20:24] ---**
What did you do to him?!
**[20:27] ---**
I-I don't know! Like hell we'd know!
**[20:29] ---**
Damn it! I'm out!
**[20:32] ---**
Hey!
**[20:37] ---**
Damn lowlifes!
**[20:40] ---**
Let's continue, Silver Sword!
**[20:42] ---**
Why did I ever give a damn
about what Zelman thought?
**[20:47] ---**
I haven't felt this excited in ages!
**[20:52] ---**
It seems I have no choice.
**[20:55] ---**
You can't, Jiro!
**[20:56] ---**
If you stir up trouble now,
**[20:58] ---**
you'll give everyone
the excuse they're looking for!
**[21:03] ---**
Pardon me.
**[21:04] ---**
I was just being a little impatient.
**[21:06] ---**
What are you playing at,
Silver Sword?! This is life-or-death!
**[21:10] ---**
Who decided such a thing?
**[21:13] ---**
I will not kill you.
**[21:14] ---**
I will crack your head open for you,
**[21:17] ---**
so go on home and receive
Zelman's reprimand.
**[21:21] ---**
Bastard!
**[21:30] ---**
Fine, then!
**[21:32] ---**
I'll make you acknowledge me,
no matter what I have to do!
**[21:34] ---**
I'll light a fire under you for sure!
**[21:40] ---**
Brother, are you okay?
**[21:42] ---**
Of course.
**[21:43] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[21:44] ---**
More importantly, Mimiko,
did you notice?
**[21:47] ---**
What?
**[21:48] ---**
That man was clearly acting
strangely compared to earlier today.
**[21:52] ---**
Now that you mention it...
**[21:55] ---**
Well, that is all right.
Let us go home for tonight.
**[21:59] ---**
Yes.
**[22:10] ---**
M-My place...
**[22:24] ---**
*In my dreams, my secrets speak*
**[22:31] ---**
*Of the sorrows I come face-to-face with*
**[22:37] ---**
*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...*
**[23:56] ---**
*Fine.*
**[23:58] ---**
*Auguste Wyker.*
**[24:01] ---**
*I shall carve the ways of
the Black Blood into your bones.*
