[00:40] ---
    Hey...
[00:43] ---
    Wanna have some fun?
[00:47] ---
    What's going on?!
[00:53] ---
    Y-You!! What're you doing?!
[00:56] ---
    Nothing, really...
[00:57] ---
    Y-You're a wanted man...
[01:01] ---
    Gyanza!! You must be Gyanza Rujikke!!
[01:04] ---
    And if I am?
[01:06] ---
    Don't resist! We're taking
    you into custody!!
[01:10] ---
    Really?
[01:11] ---
    Then, try and catch me.
[01:19] ---
    Wh-Where is he?!
[01:21] ---
    Where're you hiding, Gyanza?!
[01:24] ---
    I'm right here...
[01:26] ---
    Hmm? You dickwads're IBI agents?
[01:29] ---
    Then, do you know a man
    named Sven Vollfied?
[01:34] ---
    N-No, I don't...
[01:36] ---
    I don't know him!
[01:38] ---
    I see. Got it.
[01:41] ---
    Good-bye.
[01:50] ---
    Sven Vollfied...
[01:53] ---
    I swear I'm gonna kill you!!
[02:01] ---
    That's how it always starts...
[02:04] ---
    under the azure sky
[02:07] ---
    After making a vow,
[02:10] ---
    I now set off
[02:27] ---
    Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue
[02:31] ---
    (The wind is scorching)
[02:33] ---
    I'm searching for a diamond flower
[02:38] ---
    (I keep on wandering)
[02:39] ---
    Now, for the first time in my life,
[02:46] ---
    I live for someone else
[02:52] ---
    There's something I wanna protect
[02:58] ---
    I'll never, ever lose it again
[03:05] ---
    Resound, my heartbeat!
[03:11] ---
    A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
    but tougher than anyone's.
[03:31] ---
    "The Charming Cat"
[03:47] ---
    First off, this guy...
[03:50] ---
    Gyanza Rujikke!!
[03:52] ---
    You know him?
[03:53] ---
    Yeah. He's one of the men I
    captured way back when I was an agent.
[03:58] ---
    He's a disgusting scumbag
    who kills even women and children.
[04:04] ---
    So, what's this got to do with Gyanza?
[04:09] ---
    This...
[04:12] ---
    What's that?
[04:13] ---
    This is a bottle that contained Shinkitou.
[04:16] ---
    Shinkitou?
[04:17] ---
    That's right. It's a drink
    that activates the power of Tao.
[04:21] ---
    Tao?!
[04:23] ---
    The uncanny techniques that you
    were talking about the other day?
[04:26] ---
    Yes. After Igor at the botanical garden,
[04:30] ---
    the one that Tao user duo is after is...
[04:34] ---
    Don't tell me!!
[04:36] ---
    Yep. I'd like to take what's in the bottle
[04:39] ---
    before it falls into this guy's hands.
[04:42] ---
    Can you help me?
[04:47] ---
    Wow, thank you!
[04:49] ---
    Then, I'll investigate
    that Tao user duo, so...
[04:53] ---
    I'll leave Gyanza to you.
[04:55] ---
    What's with her!
    "I'll leave him to you"?
[04:58] ---
    It's not like we have to
    help that woman do her job...
[05:01] ---
    On top of that...
[05:02] ---
    Your fee'll be covered
    by Gyanza's bounty, okay?
[05:06] ---
    That woman's annoying!
[05:08] ---
    The reward for Gyanza is 2 million gold.
[05:11] ---
    Can't complain about that, right?
[05:19] ---
    So, where's that Gyanza guy?
[05:25] ---
    That damn Gyanza!
[05:27] ---
    I'll capture him before
    he drinks Shinkitou!
[05:32] ---
    But...
[05:34] ---
    what happened to Train?!
[05:35] ---
    He's gone...
[05:37] ---
    Geez... As soon as I turn
    my back, he takes off...
[05:41] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:42] ---
    He'll come back when he gets hungry.
[05:49] ---
    Oh?
[05:50] ---
    Hey...
[06:08] ---
    Throb!
[06:11] ---
    Looks like the rumor that crime's getting
    bad in this city these days is true...
[06:18] ---
    Most of the stores're closed, too...
[06:20] ---
    The stores're closed, but you've got me!
[06:27] ---
    Let's see... where's a
    milk vending machine?
[06:30] ---
    There's no milk vending
    machines, but you've got me!
[06:37] ---
    I wonder if there's
    somewhere I can get some milk...
[06:39] ---
    Okay! I got it! You've got me, so...!
[06:58] ---
    Wh-What're you doing?!
[07:00] ---
    That's my line!
[07:03] ---
    Uhm, may I have your name?!
SIGN    
[07:05] ---
    Kuro-neko!
[07:06] ---
    Kuro?
[07:09] ---
    So, it's "Kuro-sama," right?!
[07:11] ---
    Oh, no! I'll be late for my appointment!
[07:14] ---
    Kuro-sama! I'm Kyoko!
[07:16] ---
    I'll see you if our fates meet again!
[07:19] ---
    Oh? My popsicle's gone! Where'd it go?!
[07:22] ---
    She sure makes a lot of noise...
[07:26] ---
    You're 30 seconds late.
[07:28] ---
    Please listen, Charden-san!
[07:30] ---
    I met this gorgeous guy today!
[07:35] ---
    When these bad guys were hassling me,
[07:37] ---
    he was all like, "Bam! Pow!"
    and defeated them!
[07:40] ---
    He's such a cool guy...
[07:43] ---
    Oh? My popsicle's gone again!
[07:46] ---
    Where'd it go? Where'd it go?
[07:48] ---
    But, Charden-san, what on
    earth is up with this place?
[07:52] ---
    This town is terribly quiet.
[07:55] ---
    All the stores're closed, too.
    It's so boring!
[07:59] ---
    If you have complaints,
    please tell them all to Gyanza-san.
[08:03] ---
    Since he's been rampaging around
    lately, the town has gotten quiet.
[08:08] ---
    Boring...
[08:10] ---
    Please don't grumble like that.
[08:12] ---
    Kyoko-san, it seems
    that you're too carefree.
[08:15] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[08:17] ---
    You told me that this revolution
[08:20] ---
    that'll happen soon is a festival, Charden-san.
[08:22] ---
    Yes, it's a festival.
[08:25] ---
    But right now we're
    preparing for the festival.
[08:28] ---
    Preparing for it?
[08:30] ---
    That's right.
[08:31] ---
    So, in order for the
    festival to be a success,
[08:34] ---
    we have to take our missions seriously.
[08:37] ---
    I see...
[08:40] ---
    So, this is the hideout
    of this Gyanza guy...
[08:45] ---
    Anyone home?!
[08:49] ---
    Hmmm, there's nobody here.
[08:52] ---
    This is a problem...
[08:54] ---
    We promised to meet here today...
[08:57] ---
    If you're looking for big
    bro Gyanza, he ain't coming.
[09:02] ---
    Is someone there?!
[09:11] ---
    Ah! My popsicle!
[09:14] ---
    We came to talk to you
    in place of our big bro.
[09:17] ---
    Does that mean Gyanza-san won't show?
[09:19] ---
    That's right. That means our big bro
    no longer has any business with you.
[09:23] ---
    I think he's found a girl in
    town by now and is having fun.
[09:31] ---
    Excuse me...
[09:33] ---
    What is it?
[09:34] ---
    Aren't you cold in that getup?
[09:37] ---
    What's with this girl?
    Are you jealous of my beauty?
[09:42] ---
    I'm not jealous or anything!
[09:44] ---
    By the way, we heard
    from big bro Gyanza that...
[09:49] ---
    you guys have something good.
[09:52] ---
    Why don't you give some to us, too?
[09:54] ---
    Something good...
[09:56] ---
    Oh! You mean popsicles!
    "Gunya Gunya Kun"!
[10:01] ---
    Look! See, it's so jiggly.
[10:04] ---
    This thing jiggles all over
    but it's still a popsicle!
[10:08] ---
    This thing is beyond a popsi...
[10:09] ---
    Is this the one?
[10:13] ---
    All right!!
[10:20] ---
    Was that okay, Charden-san?
[10:22] ---
    Yes, no need to worry.
[10:34] ---
    Now I'll gain incredible
    power like big bro did...
[10:42] ---
    This is so exciting!
[10:51] ---
    Hm?
[10:52] ---
    Nothing's happening...
[10:54] ---
    I forgot to tell you,
[10:56] ---
    that it only works for a handful of people.
[10:59] ---
    If it doesn't work...
[11:03] ---
    this is what will happen.
[11:05] ---
    Gilbath!
[11:06] ---
    H-How dare you?!
[11:10] ---
    You won't get away with this!
[11:13] ---
    What shall we do, Charden-san?
[11:16] ---
    Since it doesn't seem like
    they'll just let us walk out of here,
[11:19] ---
    let's have some fun with them.
[11:21] ---
    Okay!
[11:22] ---
    Here I come, lightly dressed lady!
[11:25] ---
    I'll warm you up!
[11:36] ---
    Man, that stupid Gyanza!
[11:38] ---
    I'm really fumed over his
    breaking his promise with us!
[11:42] ---
    Ah! My "Gunya Gunya Kun" melted!
[11:46] ---
    Gyanza... He may have
    taken his games too far...
[11:50] ---
    We need to keep an eye on him.
[11:53] ---
    Oh! Please wait for me!
[12:09] ---
    It's amazing...
[12:11] ---
    The Tao power's really amazing...
[12:32] ---
    Sven, what're you doing?
[12:33] ---
    I'm intercepting police radio signals.
[12:36] ---
    It's up to Train to gather
    information in front of the station.
[12:39] ---
    That won't work...
[12:40] ---
    Huh?
[12:41] ---
    Train'll be back soon.
[12:44] ---
    He's here.
[12:45] ---
    I'm starving...
[12:47] ---
    No matter how far I went,
    all the stores were closed...
[12:51] ---
    Hey, Train, did you find anything?
[12:53] ---
    I'm starving because
    I didn't find anything.
[12:57] ---
    See?
[12:59] ---
    Guess we don't have
    any other choice. Here...
[13:02] ---
    Hmm? What's that?
[13:06] ---
    "Fishing"...
[13:07] ---
    Fishing?
[13:10] ---
    "Fishing" is one of the methods that we, sweepers,
[13:14] ---
    use to capture our targets.
[13:15] ---
    You act as a decoy yourself
    to lure the target towards you,
[13:18] ---
    and capture him.
[13:21] ---
    --I see...
[13:21] ---
    --I see...
[13:24] ---
    So, why'd it have to be me?
[13:27] ---
    People don't go out at night dressed
    like this in the first place, I'd say...
[13:31] ---
    There's no way I can!
[13:32] ---
    Gyanza targets women!
[13:35] ---
    Then, how about we decide it with this?
[13:37] ---
    Okay. If it's heads, you'll do it.
    If it's tails, I'll do it!
[13:41] ---
    All right!
[13:43] ---
    I'll be the decoy.
[13:46] ---
    Wha?
[13:51] ---
    I mean, there's no way
    we can make her a decoy...
[13:55] ---
    Err, I mean, we couldn't possibly!
[13:57] ---
    I tell ya, err, I mean, I do declare I've
    lived as a gentleman for thirty years!
[14:03] ---
    There's no way I can just sit back
[14:05] ---
    and let a jerk like Gyanza have
    everything his way! Wouldn't you agree?
[14:08] ---
    My old lady, err,
    mother dearest always said to me...
[14:11] ---
    "You have to protect girls."
[14:13] ---
    That's right! I'll protect
    the women of the world!
[14:17] ---
    That despicable Gyanza!
    Now that it's come to this,
[14:19] ---
    I'm gonna capture him no matter what!
[14:21] ---
    As a gentleman! No...
[14:24] ---
    as a "lady"!
[14:39] ---
    Gyanza isn't showing up...
[14:44] ---
    I... kind of don't think he will.
[14:51] ---
    Oh, it's empty...
[14:54] ---
    Looks like I came a little too late...
[15:00] ---
    Come out, Gyanza... Come out, Gyanza...
[15:04] ---
    Come out Gyanza... Come ou... Oh, wait.
[15:12] ---
    I wonder if I look like a woman...
[15:15] ---
    Oh yeah, definitely.
[15:16] ---
    You look cute, really.
[15:20] ---
    Gyanza!
[15:21] ---
    Oh, ma'am! You're so beautiful!
[15:24] ---
    How about working at my place?
[15:26] ---
    H-H-Hey!
[15:28] ---
    --Hey! You don't have to be so shy!
[15:28] ---
    --Aaahhh! Leave me alone!
[15:31] ---
    Looks like this place is
    as unsafe as people say...
[15:35] ---
    Yeah.
[15:38] ---
    I caught something weird...
[15:44] ---
    In any case, I think
    the usual Sven's better...
[15:49] ---
    Was it that way?!
[15:50] ---
    Train! H-Hold on!
[15:53] ---
    Sven! Come later with the princess!
[15:55] ---
    What?!
[15:57] ---
    H-Hey! Eve, wait!
[16:00] ---
    F-From underground,
[16:03] ---
    an afro appeared...
[16:04] ---
    Gyanza! There you are!!
[16:06] ---
    You broke your promise today, didn't you?!
[16:09] ---
    You promised that you'd
    join us if your power awakened...
[16:13] ---
    Sorry, but I'm breaking off that deal...
[16:17] ---
    Ah! As we suspected, you
    planned on breaking it, didn't you?!
[16:20] ---
    I changed my mind. What can you do?
[16:25] ---
    But I appreciate you guys at least...
[16:28] ---
    because, thanks to you guys,
[16:30] ---
    I was able to gain this invincible power!!
[16:42] ---
    You have a cute face.
[16:45] ---
    It'll be cuter when
    it's contorted with pain...
[16:49] ---
    I bet you'll be crying
    with a sweet voice then...
[16:53] ---
    Stop right there!
[16:56] ---
    Now, come quietly, Gyanza.
    I'm taking you into custody!
[17:00] ---
    Whoa! You came to rescue me again!
[17:03] ---
    Just as I thought,
    you're my fate, Kuro-sama!
[17:07] ---
    Ha! A sweeper, huh?
[17:09] ---
    Aaahhh!! Help me, Kuro-s ama!!
[17:12] ---
    Kuro-sama! I'm dying! Save me quick!
[17:17] ---
    Let that girl go now!
[17:21] ---
    Aaaahhhh!
[17:23] ---
    What?!
[17:24] ---
    Kuro-sama!!
[17:32] ---
    Train!
[17:35] ---
    Princess!
[17:40] ---
    Gyanza!!
[17:50] ---
    You did it! Kuro-sama!
[17:53] ---
    Smoooch!
[17:58] ---
    Boy, you're shy, Kuro-sama!
[18:02] ---
    I'm not shy or anything!
[18:03] ---
    I guess it can't be helped.
[18:05] ---
    I'll save my kiss for next time.
    In the meantime...
[18:08] ---
    You get a popsicle for your good work!
    "Gunya Gunya Kun"!
[18:11] ---
    Huh?
    Here, milk flavor for you, Kuro-sama!
[18:14] ---
    Strawberry flavor for you.
[18:16] ---
    And, tomato flavor for me!
[18:18] ---
    Hey, you're late.
[18:20] ---
    I've already defeated him.
[18:22] ---
    I was the one who defeated him.
[18:24] ---
    I'm sorry, but I ran out of popsicles!
[18:28] ---
    Hey, let's hurry up and arrest him
[18:30] ---
    so we can get the reward
    money and leave this town, Sven.
[18:33] ---
    Please take me with you!
[18:35] ---
    Sven?!
[18:38] ---
    Drat!
[18:39] ---
    Sven Vollfied!!
[18:44] ---
    I've been looking for you, Sven Vollfied!
[18:47] ---
    Long time no see, Gyanza!
[18:49] ---
    Be a good boy and let us
    take you in without a fight!
[18:51] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
    The hatred I felt then...
[18:54] ---
    I'll settle things right here, right now...
[18:57] ---
    with this power!
[19:01] ---
    Tao?
[19:02] ---
    That's right.
[19:03] ---
    Sven!
[19:10] ---
    What?!
[19:11] ---
    Those hurt... a bit...
[19:33] ---
    This is fun!
[19:35] ---
    It looks like a game of whack-a-mole!
[19:41] ---
    Though we're the ones who're being hit...
[19:45] ---
    We don't have any other choice.
    Train, do as I say!
[19:49] ---
    I know. You want me to aim
    at his right knee, right?
[19:52] ---
    What?
[19:53] ---
    I'm No. XIII, Black Cat.
[19:57] ---
    By watching his movements,
[19:58] ---
    I can tell that he's got
    an old wound on his right knee.
[20:02] ---
    That's right.
[20:03] ---
    That's the wound I gave him
     when I caught him a while back.
[20:06] ---
    Sounds like it's gonna hurt.
[20:08] ---
    But can you aim at him
    while he's like that?
[20:10] ---
    You'll be sorry if you
    keep underestimating me.
[20:14] ---
    Okay, fine!
[20:15] ---
    I'm using a "burst bullet"!
[20:18] ---
    It's my turn now.
[20:20] ---
    What's with the relaxed attitude?!
[20:25] ---
    That's no use, Gyanza.
[20:26] ---
    My vision eye can see your defeat.
[20:30] ---
    Train! Aim at him, angle 4 o'clock!
[20:32] ---
    Okay!
[20:50] ---
    Precognition?
[20:51] ---
    Yeah.
[20:52] ---
    My right eye can catch a
    glimpse of the world in the future,
[20:54] ---
    although only a little.
[20:58] ---
    Sven!
[20:59] ---
    Don't worry. I get really
    exhausted when I use this ability.
[21:03] ---
    Splendid work, Black Cat.
[21:05] ---
    Oh, Charden-san!
[21:07] ---
    I've been looking for you, you know!
[21:09] ---
    Charden-san, this is my Kuro-sama.
[21:12] ---
    Oh, no, I said "my"...
[21:18] ---
    Y-You're...
[21:21] ---
    H-Hey, give me more of that stuff...
[21:23] ---
    I wanna be stronger!
[21:26] ---
    It's no use.
[21:28] ---
    I didn't come to save you.
[21:31] ---
    I only came to see the end of someone
[21:35] ---
    who misused the power.
[21:47] ---
    Allow me to properly greet you.
[21:50] ---
    How do you do, Black Cat?
[21:53] ---
    I'm Charden, one of the
    members of the Apostles of the Stars.
[21:56] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[21:58] ---
    The Apostles of the Stars?
[21:59] ---
    Yes...
[22:01] ---
    It's a revolutionary
    group led by Creed Diskenth.
[22:06] ---
    Creed...
[22:25] ---
    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[22:31] ---
    Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
[22:35] ---
    Please stop time tonight!
[22:49] ---
    Please show yourself
[22:52] ---
    even if just a little
[22:55] ---
    Around the time the first evening star appears,
[22:58] ---
    I hear footsteps approaching
[23:01] ---
    The only time I can see you*
[23:04] ---
    s when the moon is shining*
[23:07] ---
    Please let me dream a little
[23:10] ---
    'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning
[23:13] ---
    Even though I know it, I still feel lonely
[23:17] ---
    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[23:22] ---
    You held me in your arms
[23:25] ---
    and your passionate lips met mine
[23:28] ---
    Please don't let go of me
[23:31] ---
    I'm about to melt in your arms
[23:34] ---
    But morning is almost here
[23:37] ---
    Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
[23:41] ---
    I pray to you,
[23:43] ---
    please stop time
[23:55] ---
    "Next Episode"
[23:58] ---
    To you fools out there
    who're being controlled
[24:00] ---
    by an utterly corrupt secret organization!
[24:02] ---
    I announce that we, the Apostles
    of the Stars, will change the world!
[24:07] ---
    A festival will start.
[24:09] ---
    A spectacular, bloody festival
    to take us off the wrong track...
[24:13] ---
    Train... Soon you'll know...
[24:16] ---
    what my ideals are...
