[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

[00:53] ---
    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
[01:42] ---
    Jiro, you should look to
    your surroundings more often.
[01:46] ---
    I do look. Otherwise, I would not
    be able to serve as your protector.
[01:51] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[01:54] ---
    Hmm, how do I say this?
[01:58] ---
    Do you think that water is strong?
[02:01] ---
    Water, is it?
[02:03] ---
    No...
[02:04] ---
    What about a river?
[02:06] ---
    Is it... strong?
[02:08] ---
    Then what about the ocean?
[02:10] ---
    Do you think it's strong?
[02:12] ---
    I suppose you could say
    it is strong in its own way.
[02:15] ---
    But it is not a question of if
    it is strong or weak to begin with, is it?
[02:19] ---
    No.
[02:20] ---
    When you get to the ocean,
[02:22] ---
    the question of whether it's strong
    or not doesn't matter anymore.
[02:26] ---
    Even though it's all the same water.
[02:29] ---
    It's the same with blood, Jiro.
[02:31] ---
    That's the nature of who we are.
[02:34] ---
    Our true value is not in being the water,
    but in that we can be the ocean.
[02:39] ---
    The ocean... is it?
[02:42] ---
    Right.
[02:43] ---
    Can you be the ocean, Jiro?
[02:46] ---
    I will do my utmost.
[02:47] ---
    Okay.
[03:08] ---
    Mimi...
[03:10] ---
    I'm glad...
[03:12] ---
    What are you glad about?!
[03:14] ---
    After being subjected to such foul play!
[03:16] ---
    I mean, look, it's only
    my room that got blown up.
[03:21] ---
    I've always complained
    that it's rundown,
[03:24] ---
    but I guess the foundations
    were actually pretty solid.
[03:27] ---
    I'm just sort of impressed...
[03:29] ---
    Wh-What are you saying...
[03:33] ---
    Do not cry, Kotaro.
[03:35] ---
    But... But, Brother, this is...
[03:39] ---
    Mimiko is not crying.
[03:41] ---
    You have no right to cry.
[03:46] ---
    Right.
[03:50] ---
    We're getting away from here.
[03:52] ---
    But...
[03:53] ---
    If we get interviewed
    by the police and stuff,
[03:55] ---
    it'll actually get more troublesome.
[03:56] ---
    Listen to me, Jiro.
[03:58] ---
    We're going to the Company now.
[04:00] ---
    I'll report to my superior and have
    them deal with this appropriately.
[04:04] ---
    Don't worry.
[04:05] ---
    Even if my superior says no,
[04:07] ---
    I'll find a way to let you live
    in the Special Zone, no matter what.
[04:23] ---
    Fine.
[04:25] ---
    Auguste Wyker.
[04:27] ---
    I shall carve the ways of
    the Black Blood into your bones.
[04:36] ---
    I never expected Auguste
    to spring into action so quickly.
[04:40] ---
    Man, that was close.
[04:43] ---
    If our cover got blown now,
    it'd ruin everything.
[04:46] ---
    Good thing I thoroughly
    experimented with it first.
[04:49] ---
    But with the mess he's gotten
    into with the Silver Sword,
[04:52] ---
    we can't just leave him
    out there anymore.
[04:54] ---
    I guess I'll have to ask
    you to take care of it.
[04:57] ---
    Okay, Yafuri?
[05:01] ---
    Yafuri?
[05:03] ---
    Gack! This is bad, Yafuri!
[05:05] ---
    If Sis finds out...
[05:09] ---
    "Sis"
[05:11] ---
    Oh, man!
[05:15] ---
    Yes?
[05:17] ---
    Hey, Sis, haven't heard
    from you in a while...
[05:38] ---
    I appreciate you coming here.
    No need to introduce yourself.
[05:41] ---
    Mimiko Katsuragi, I heard
    about your apartment.
[05:45] ---
    I'm sorry about what happened,
    but I'm glad you're safe.
[05:48] ---
    Thank you very much, Chairman.
[05:51] ---
    Cheung, what's the media been told?
[05:54] ---
    We have convinced them that it was
    an accident caused by a gas leak.
[05:57] ---
    And that the room's resident
    is on vacation in mainland Japan.
[06:02] ---
    Okay.
[06:03] ---
    Mimiko, I am very sorry.
[06:07] ---
    Troubles are part
    of being a compromiser.
[06:10] ---
    Don't you have anything to say, too?
[06:14] ---
    I hear the Silver Sword
    let that idiot get away.
[06:17] ---
    Yes, since he leapt into the canal.
[06:20] ---
    He should've just cut him down.
    Talk about sloppy.
[06:24] ---
    What kind of attitude is that?!
[06:25] ---
    Shut up.
[06:26] ---
    He's not my underling.
    It's not my problem.
[06:31] ---
    For this incident, Auguste Wyker
    will be made to pay appropriately.
[06:37] ---
    However, what we must discuss now
[06:39] ---
    is how to prevent the rise
    of a second or third Auguste.
[06:45] ---
    Oof.
[06:46] ---
    Well, please take care of it.
[06:48] ---
    Right.
[06:59] ---
    What?
[07:06] ---
    Why you!
[07:06] ---
    You! You!
[07:08] ---
    --You! You! You!
[07:09] ---
    --Wh-What happened, Janaway?!
[07:20] ---
    H-Hey...
[07:36] ---
    We have no intention of accepting
    the Silver Sword, Jiro Mochizuki,
[07:39] ---
    here in the Special Zone.
[07:41] ---
    We cannot allow
    someone to settle down here,
[07:43] ---
    knowing that he will
    bring disorder with him.
[07:46] ---
    That's great.
[07:48] ---
    In that case, I'll take him.
[07:50] ---
    Do you have any idea what kind of
    consequences your actions will result in?
[07:54] ---
    Sorry. I've lived longer than you,
[07:57] ---
    but I've yet to see anything
    like a premonitory dream.
[08:01] ---
    How unusual.
[08:03] ---
    You have been distancing yourself
    from worldly matters of late,
[08:06] ---
    and you would have him join you?
[08:08] ---
    I met him today, but he
    was quite an amusing guy.
[08:12] ---
    And his younger brother's
    a real piece of work.
[08:15] ---
    You should meet them,
    too, Pile Killer Cheung.
[08:19] ---
    As a former vampire hunter, you've
    at least heard the stories, right?
[08:23] ---
    A hunter?
[08:24] ---
    Do not lay a hand on the Sage's blood.
[08:27] ---
    I believe that is an
    unwritten law in this world.
[08:30] ---
    What a scandalous thing to suggest.
[08:32] ---
    I'm just interested in the Silver Sword.
[08:35] ---
    Oh-ho? Why would the
    great Crimson-Eyed Zelman
[08:39] ---
    be so concerned
    with a stripling like him?
[08:42] ---
    What a caring friend
    you are, Cain, my boy.
[08:46] ---
    What are you getting at?!
[08:47] ---
    Don't play dumb. I'm sure you know.
[08:51] ---
    The Hero of Hong Kong.
[08:52] ---
    The Sage's bloodline.
[08:55] ---
    Those things don't matter to me.
[08:58] ---
    But it's a different story when it
    comes to the Source Blood Killer.
[09:01] ---
    Zelman Clock!
[09:05] ---
    Control your tongue!
[09:15] ---
    Lord Dragon, please go easy.
[09:19] ---
    Oh, I apologize.
[09:24] ---
    Are you all right, Mimiko?
[09:26] ---
    Y-Yes.
[09:28] ---
    You cannot go in!
[09:29] ---
    Mimi's in there, right?!
[09:32] ---
    Kotaro?
[09:33] ---
    It's fine. Let him through.
[09:37] ---
    Oh, Mimi!
[09:38] ---
    It's terrible!
[09:40] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:41] ---
    Brother went out.
[09:43] ---
    Out? But where?
[09:46] ---
    He said, "I am off
    to mount a little assault."
[09:49] ---
    He was smiling,
    but his eyes were scary.
[09:55] ---
    I take back everything I said.
[09:57] ---
    The older bro's a real piece of work, too.
[09:58] ---
    Damn that half-brain idiot!
[10:01] ---
    Cheung, give the orders
    to the suppression team.
[10:03] ---
    Anti-Old Blood equipment.
[10:05] ---
    Have them mobilized
    in under 10 minutes.
[10:07] ---
    Understood.
[10:09] ---
    Please wait!
[10:10] ---
    You plan to attack Jiro?!
[10:12] ---
    Right now, it's Jiro that's
    trying to stir up trouble.
[10:15] ---
    But that's...
[10:17] ---
    We are afraid of the public finding out
[10:20] ---
    about the battles
    among the Black Bloods.
[10:22] ---
    To put it bluntly, as long
    as it stays under wraps,
[10:25] ---
    we won't get involved, even if
    they're out there killing each other.
[10:31] ---
    What are you doing?
[10:32] ---
    What?
[10:33] ---
    A vampire is trying to stir up trouble.
[10:36] ---
    In which case, is it not our job
    to mediate the situation?
[10:41] ---
    Jiro Mochizuki is your case.
[10:43] ---
    Hurry on over there
    and go talk him down.
[10:47] ---
    This is an order.
[10:51] ---
    Kotaro!
[10:52] ---
    We're going to go stop Jiro!
[10:55] ---
    Right!
[11:01] ---
    Sassy girl.
[11:03] ---
    Tell me, Jinnai.
[11:04] ---
    What is it?
[11:06] ---
    I hear you're the one who sent
    that girl to get the Silver Sword.
[11:10] ---
    Was that because that girl
    just happened to be free?
[11:14] ---
    I can't say I remember.
[11:16] ---
    What with it being
    before the crack of dawn,
[11:18] ---
    I was half asleep.
[11:21] ---
    You old fox.
[11:24] ---
    We are not done yet.
[11:26] ---
    What?
[11:27] ---
    I would like to move on
    to the main agenda now.
[11:31] ---
    Wasn't today's agenda how we were
    going to deal with the Silver Sword?
[11:35] ---
    Of course, handling him
    is a delicate issue, but...
[11:40] ---
    The problem is this.
[11:43] ---
    Who's this?
[11:44] ---
    Johan Tsang.
[11:45] ---
    The Kowloon Child, who attempted
    to enter the Special Zone last night.
[12:12] ---
    Make way!
[12:35] ---
    Bastard!
[13:02] ---
    I got it, Little Brother.
[13:05] ---
    It's too late to do anything
    about Yafuri's overzealousness.
[13:09] ---
    We'll change our plans.
[13:10] ---
    Thought so.
[13:11] ---
    Then, we better go
    rescue Yafuri somehow.
[13:15] ---
    Forget about him.
[13:16] ---
    You can't mean that! He's sure
    to get killed by the Silver Sword!
[13:20] ---
    He brought it on himself.
[13:22] ---
    Cold bitch.
[13:24] ---
    Did you say something?
[13:25] ---
    Nope!
[13:25] ---
    He may not be able to win,
[13:27] ---
    but I'm going to expect him to
    at least escape by the skin of his teeth.
[13:31] ---
    If he's my little brother, that is.
[13:35] ---
    I can just see Jiro all in a panic.
[13:38] ---
    That's what you really care about?!
[13:40] ---
    All right, I'm going in, too.
[13:42] ---
    What?!
[13:43] ---
    That's not even funny!
[13:45] ---
    Once you're in, you can't
    get out easily, Sis!
[13:48] ---
    Both Cain and Sei have grown
    complacent in peacetime, right?
[13:51] ---
    Just you wait.
    I'll give you a wakeup call.
[13:54] ---
    She's not listening.
[13:56] ---
    Did you say something?
[13:57] ---
    Nope.
[13:58] ---
    Let's do this, Zaza.
[14:04] ---
    Welcome to the Special Zone,
[14:06] ---
    Miss Cassandra Jill Warlock.
[14:33] ---
    Hello, Mimiko.
[14:35] ---
    Jiro.
[14:37] ---
    Is this revenge? For my apartment?
[14:40] ---
    You need not thank me.
[14:42] ---
    You idiot! What a rash thing for you to do!
[14:44] ---
    It's only made your position worse!
[14:47] ---
    Why? Why did you have to...
[14:50] ---
    This was an object lesson.
[14:52] ---
    What?!
[14:53] ---
    I showed them what would
    happen if they mess with me.
[14:58] ---
    This is wrong!
[15:00] ---
    This is the Special Zone!
[15:02] ---
    As long as you're here, you don't
    have to do things like that!
[15:05] ---
    Having said that, it is questionable
    whether we will get to live here.
[15:08] ---
    You will get to live here!
    You will for sure!
[15:11] ---
    I promised you, remember?!
[15:13] ---
    Even so, if things stay
    as they are, it is the same.
[15:16] ---
    For example, let us say that you
    unexpectedly died in today's explosion.
[15:21] ---
    Both Sei and Cain would
    surely have been enraged.
[15:24] ---
    Without a doubt,
    Auguste and his gang
[15:26] ---
    would have been turned
    to ash and scattered at sea.
[15:28] ---
    It would strike terror into those
    at odds with the convention,
[15:31] ---
    further strengthening
    the peace in the Special Zone.
[15:35] ---
    Happily ever after.
[15:37] ---
    Is this hypothetical
    chain of events wrong?
[15:41] ---
    Mimiko, I do not want to see you die.
[15:46] ---
    I hate to say this after all
    the trouble I have put you through,
[15:49] ---
    but why don't we call it quits?
[15:52] ---
    We will leave the Special Zone.
[15:57] ---
    You can't...
[16:28] ---
    Good evening, Auguste!
[16:30] ---
    Quite the sensational
    entrance you made there!
[16:36] ---
    After studying the intelligence,
[16:38] ---
    we have come to the conclusion
    that arrangements had been made
[16:40] ---
    for him to enter the Special Zone.
[16:42] ---
    There's someone in the Special Zone
    who would invite in a Kowloon Child?
[16:46] ---
    If a Kowloon Child
    were to cross the barrier,
[16:48] ---
    would it be possible to detect it?
[16:51] ---
    Impossible.
[16:52] ---
    What I have implemented
    is not that sort of power.
[16:55] ---
    Rather than keeping them out,
[16:57] ---
    it's something that
    keeps them from leaving.
[17:00] ---
    A Kowloon Child that's snuck in
[17:02] ---
    would have no choice but
    to settle in the Special Zone.
[17:04] ---
    Zelman!
[17:09] ---
    What?
[17:11] ---
    No, it's not over yet.
[17:15] ---
    What? What do you mean?
[17:18] ---
    Hey, wait!
[17:19] ---
    Calm down, Sayuka!
[17:20] ---
    Zelman!
[17:25] ---
    A man Auguste drank dry
    during the day came back to life!
[17:29] ---
    And?
[17:30] ---
    Janaway was bitten by the man
    and he started going crazy.
[17:33] ---
    He and the other three
    ended up killing each other...
[17:36] ---
    They all... turned to ash...
[17:40] ---
    What could that have been?
[17:43] ---
    Could it be...
[17:45] ---
    But it can't be!
[17:47] ---
    That's enough for today.
    Go home and rest.
[17:50] ---
    Yes, sir.
[17:51] ---
    Let me confirm one thing.
[17:53] ---
    You're sure Auguste
    drank that man's blood?
[17:57] ---
    Yes, there is no doubt.
[17:59] ---
    Got it. Good night.
[18:02] ---
    Have the suppression team switch
    their equipment to anti-Kowloon Child!
[18:06] ---
    Yes, sir!
[18:07] ---
    Lord Dragon!
[18:09] ---
    By the will of heaven, Jiro is there.
[18:13] ---
    We can still make it.
[18:15] ---
    Right now, I feel supremely good!
[18:19] ---
    Even when I turned,
    I did not feel this satisfied!
[18:22] ---
    Bastard, you'd been bitten?!
[18:25] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:26] ---
    Don't play dumb!
[18:27] ---
    In Hong Kong, I cut down more
    of you than I care to remember!
[18:30] ---
    I would never mistake it!
[18:34] ---
    So it is as I suspected.
[18:36] ---
    I see. So this is what it is
    to be a Kowloon Child.
[18:40] ---
    Who bit you?!
[18:41] ---
    I have been bitten by no one.
[18:44] ---
    Then, how...
[18:45] ---
    I couldn't care less about that!
[18:55] ---
    Mimi?
[18:56] ---
    Don't worry. Brother
    won't lose to a guy like that.
[19:00] ---
    Kotaro...
[19:01] ---
    But I've been feeling restless
    for a while now and it won't stop.
[19:05] ---
    I have this sort of bad feeling...
[19:10] ---
    A duel, Silver Sword!
[20:04] ---
    Impressive, Silver Sword.
[20:07] ---
    I have a history with
    Kowloon Children, you see.
[20:10] ---
    I will not allow a single one to get away.
[20:21] ---
    You were an excellent swordsman.
[20:24] ---
    Not... Not yet!
[20:27] ---
    No. It is over.
[20:41] ---
    I drank from my own men.
[20:44] ---
    What did you say?!
[20:45] ---
    As long as this blood
    survives, I am immortal!
[20:53] ---
    The blood of his own...
[20:59] ---
    Auguste's parting gift, is it?!
[21:03] ---
    Oh, no!
[21:07] ---
    Mimiko! Kotaro!
[21:34] ---
    I've arrived late.
[21:36] ---
    Who are you?
[21:39] ---
    Pleased to make your acquaintance,
    Silver Sword, Jiro Mochizuki.
[21:43] ---
    Kin-Killer. Hero of the Crusade.
[21:46] ---
    Protector of Old Blood.
[21:48] ---
    O valiant blood of
    the Sage Eve's bloodline.
[21:52] ---
    You are a Kowloon Child, are you not?
[21:54] ---
    A direct descendant at that...
[21:56] ---
    Yes.
[21:57] ---
    My name's Yafuri Chiu.
[22:00] ---
    During the very same Crusade,
[22:01] ---
    I was bestowed the kiss of darkness
    by the Kowloon King's own fangs.
[22:07] ---
    "I want to see Jiro again."
[22:09] ---
    So she's been saying
    these past ten years.
[22:12] ---
    My sis Cassa has.
[22:15] ---
    What?
[22:19] ---
    Cassa...
[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...

[23:55] ---
    To me, the Kowloon Children
    are a menace I cannot ignore.

[24:00] ---
    That is why I cut your kind down.
[24:02] ---
    Whether you have done wrong or not,
[24:05] ---
    I will eliminate you as my enemy.
