[00:25] ---
    The train on track number 4
    is bound for Shigorov Hell.
[00:28] ---
    Please have your passport of consent ready.
[00:31] ---
    Current survival rate is 12 percent.
[00:40] ---
    Awesome... There are people
    who emit that kind of light, huh?
[00:44] ---
    They're a group who crowd
    whatever place they're in.
[00:48] ---
    The population here is
    about 50 percent monsters.
[00:51] ---
    20 percent are of unknown
    variety. 25 percent are humans,
[00:56] ---
    but half of them have special
    circumstances. You know that, right?
[00:59] ---
    Yeah.
[01:07] ---
    What about the remaining five percent?
[01:10] ---
    The remaining five percent...
[01:13] ---
    cannot be seen through regular eyes.
[01:15] ---
    Whatever they are,
    they're something dangerous.
[01:19] ---
    Hellsalem's Lot--a city where this
    world and the alterworld intersect.
[01:24] ---
    This is the record of
    the clandestine activities
[01:27] ---
    of the secret society of supermen,
    Libra, which works in the shadows
[01:31] ---
    to preserve the balance of worlds.
[01:34] ---
    Upon opening the door,
    I found a twisted noontime evening
[01:38] ---
    How did I get home yesterday?
    My body's the only thing I'm sure of
[01:43] ---
    Good morning; I'll carry on
    with being lost once more
[01:47] ---
    among the unknown sights
    that have become so familiar
[02:01] ---
    After I figured all was lost,
    I've been getting by somehow,
[02:05] ---
    somewhat embarrassed to
    be tough enough to still be alive
[02:10] ---
    I know what I have to do, even if I forget
[02:14] ---
    Otherwise, things become so agonizing
[02:19] ---
    I look up to see someone with big black eyes
[02:24] ---
    It's because I saw you
    that this light came to be
[02:29] ---
    Surrounded by a world
    painted in colors of my choosing,
[02:33] ---
    where do I find meaning in
    the scars I could not choose?
[02:37] ---
    In the heart of a world
    where only I am the hero,
[02:42] ---
    I'm onstage, appearing
    in every scene until the end
[02:46] ---
    What do I do? I can't
    even pretend to be empty
[02:51] ---
    Hello, hi there, here I am
[02:56] ---
    Blood Blockade Battlefront
[03:11] ---
    You say Francesco Lazarollo
    is here under top secret status?
[03:14] ---
    Word is that Goldlake has personally
    organized an assassination team.
[03:18] ---
    Is he seriously going to chuck
    his post-retirement Florida years?
[03:23] ---
    I can just see that hard-assed
    Tony running around half-crazy!
[03:33] ---
    You know, something like
    this is nice once in a while.
[03:36] ---
    You guys have been working too hard lately.
[03:39] ---
    You've been running full-blast
    yourself, right, Patrick?
[03:42] ---
    Oh, I'm fine.
[03:44] ---
    I've got a capable assistant
    keeping things running smoothly.
[03:48] ---
    Taking care of weapons are
    all part of my purpose in life.
[03:51] ---
    Go ahead and bring 'em on!
[03:55] ---
    You don't have to ask.
    It's going to be busy next week.
[03:58] ---
    Yeah... That, huh?
[04:05] ---
    What's the matter, Leo?
[04:07] ---
    Got anything interesting to say?
[04:10] ---
    No...
[04:11] ---
    That's true. You're our
    big up-and-comer, right?
[04:14] ---
    Tell us a joke that will put us in stitches!
[04:18] ---
    I-I can't! Mr. Patrick, please stop!
[04:21] ---
    How have things been lately?
[04:24] ---
    I'll bet you're getting pretty
    settled in here, aren't you?
[04:28] ---
    I sure am.
[04:31] ---
    Some of the sketchiness here
    may still be getting to me, though.
[04:35] ---
    Just today, on the subway,
[04:37] ---
    I saw someone who had the most incredible
    crimson aura, stretching out like wings,
[04:40] ---
    and I thought, "That's awesome,"
    because they were so pretty...
[04:42] ---
    and I sort of said so... out loud... Huh?
[04:50] ---
    Leonardo,
[04:53] ---
    did you just say that
    their light shone like red wings?
[04:57] ---
    Er, uh, yes.
[05:00] ---
    If you were to be exact,
[05:02] ---
    was it this color?
[05:03] ---
    Oh, yes it was.
[05:05] ---
    Seriously?
[05:06] ---
    Damn it.
[05:08] ---
    It was... like that.
[05:11] ---
    Let me tell you something,
    my poor little subject.
[05:15] ---
    What's up with the
    rough-hewn king character?
[05:18] ---
    Are we doing dime-store roleplaying?
[05:20] ---
    What you saw...
[05:22] ---
    was a vampire.
[05:29] ---
    What exactly is it that I saw?
[05:31] ---
    Why, you...!
[05:34] ---
    Blood Breeds (noun)
[05:34] ---
    "Noble beings cloaked in wings of red."
[05:36] ---
    Monsters spoken of in popular folklore.
[05:38] ---
    Also known as vampires.
[05:38] ---
    That's how it's famously stated
    in historical documents.
[05:41] ---
    They are nearly immortal creatures.
[05:41] ---
    Following some research,
[05:42] ---
    Recent research has revealed that they are
[05:42] ---
    it has been proven that they do exist,
[05:45] ---
    'altered humans' who have had
    their DNA overwritten.
[05:45] ---
    but they remain a phenomenon that cannot
[05:48] ---
    be detected by any type
    of optical instrument or sensor.
[05:51] ---
    Do Vampires Really Exist?
[05:51] ---
    Dracula's Castle
[05:51] ---
    Vampire Legends
[05:52] ---
    Vampires still sound pretty out there.
[05:54] ---
    I'm damn sure gonna pound you to tears afterward!
[05:58] ---
    They'd have to be in an Elder-class dwelling.
[06:01] ---
    Not at all like the scum
    that lives on the outside.
[06:05] ---
    The information we can
    now obtain, thanks to him,
[06:08] ---
    is about to skyrocket in
    both quality and quantity.
[06:11] ---
    It's time for the specialist.
[06:13] ---
    Ugh...
[06:14] ---
    For real?
[06:16] ---
    You're really going to call him?
[06:19] ---
    Honestly, he'll probably
    come even if we don't call him.
[06:24] ---
    It would be unthinkable to
    consider the situation without him.
[06:31] ---
    Who is this man?
[06:34] ---
    Mr. Zapp?
[06:48] ---
    "Lucky Abrams"?
[06:50] ---
    To put it briefly, he's one of
    the world's leading vampire experts.
[06:56] ---
    The chief considers him to be like a mentor.
[06:58] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[07:01] ---
    The chief has always been that way.
[07:03] ---
    But then again, that goes for all of us.
[07:05] ---
    Back in the day, he devoted
    himself to putting down monsters
[07:08] ---
    around the world's seamier
    back alleys. You caught that, right?
[07:12] ---
    Yeah.
[07:14] ---
    Normally, just having good luck
    wouldn't get you that nickname.
[07:19] ---
    Meaning what?
[07:21] ---
    Zapp!
[07:24] ---
    I found you!
[07:36] ---
    Zapp! Are you all right?
[07:40] ---
    This city is as dangerous as ever.
[07:45] ---
    I don't care how many lives
    you've got, it won't be enough.
[07:51] ---
    Ah... pardon me... Mr. Abrams...
[07:55] ---
    but could I ask you to give us a little space?
[08:00] ---
    Hello! How have you been,
    you good-for-nothing deadbeats?
[08:04] ---
    Klaus!
[08:06] ---
    Same old big lug.
[08:09] ---
    Are you still working as hard
    as the world beats down on you?
[08:13] ---
    We had a hunch that you
    would be arriving shortly.
[08:17] ---
    I'm impressed you would know.
    I didn't leave any word with you.
[08:21] ---
    There was a crash landing at...
[08:24] ---
    Newark
    International Airport not long ago.
[08:28] ---
    He's here.
[08:29] ---
    Here he comes.
[08:30] ---
    That must be him.
[08:32] ---
    Unaware
[08:35] ---
    That's a signal of my approach?
    What can I say?
[08:42] ---
    I nearly got run over
    by a truck on my way here,
[08:45] ---
    but I was spared at the last second!
[08:47] ---
    Do you get it now?
[08:49] ---
    The meaning of his nickname
    and the reason for our expressions?
[08:55] ---
    Lucky Abrams (noun)
[08:57] ---
    One of the world's foremost experts on vampires.
[08:59] ---
    As such, he is the recipient
    of a curse from them.
[09:02] ---
    Owing to his luck,
    he personally remains unharmed,
[09:05] ---
    while those around him who fall victim
    to the curse in his stead are many.
[09:09] ---
    Leonardo?!
[09:12] ---
    Yes?
[09:12] ---
    You are the holder of the
    All-seeing Eyes of the Gods?!
[09:16] ---
    Yes.
[09:18] ---
    Why didn't you say so sooner?!
[09:20] ---
    First aid treatment
[09:22] ---
    The first thing I'd like
    you to do is look at this.
[09:29] ---
    You mean, the hand?
[09:31] ---
    It is no ordinary hand.
[09:33] ---
    It is an important item
    relating to the Elder 13.
[09:37] ---
    Elder 13 (noun)
[09:37] ---
    Our society has only directly run into
[09:39] ---
    Refers to a particularly eminent group of 13.
[09:39] ---
    Our society has only directly run into
[09:40] ---
    Eternal beings who possess an astonishing
[09:40] ---
    their number once in the past.
[09:42] ---
    regenerative capacity
    and next to no weaknesses.
[09:42] ---
    their number once in the past.
[09:44] ---
    It ended up with an entire
    battleship being taken over,
[09:48] ---
    and almost as though to sneer at us,
    they took the 343 crew members
[09:54] ---
    and erected a cross
    made out them. Further...
[10:00] ---
    we lost the lives of 47
    elite agents over this hand.
[10:05] ---
    Or to be more precise,
[10:06] ---
    over the scrap of loose-leaf paper in its grip.
[10:14] ---
    It clings ever tenaciously,
    even separated from its body.
[10:17] ---
    Our supposition is that it is a list of names--
[10:20] ---
    that the true names of the
    Elder 13 are recorded on it.
[10:25] ---
    Name
[10:25] ---
    A name contains power.
[10:26] ---
    Power of Words
[10:27] ---
    They intensely despise becoming
    beings whose names can be called.
[10:35] ---
    Now, try to read this, Leonardo.
[10:38] ---
    Seize on the true nature of those
    who are as elusive as the mist!
[10:55] ---
    Leo!
[10:56] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:00] ---
    That was spooky...
[11:03] ---
    Huh?
[11:05] ---
    What's this?
[11:08] ---
    Mr. Klaus...
[11:10] ---
    the light...
[11:12] ---
    keeps getting more...
[11:13] ---
    Leo!
[11:33] ---
    Just now!
[11:34] ---
    Just now, that ultra-sorcerous whatsit
    got knocked out of the sky by a meteor!
[11:38] ---
    I've never seen anything
    get hit by a meteor before!
[11:41] ---
    We're using public transportation
    here, Zapp. Keep quiet.
[11:45] ---
    Something like that isn't
    that unusual around here, is it?
[11:48] ---
    It's super-rare, I'm telling you!
[11:50] ---
    Ugh! Why do I have to go someplace
    like this with someone like you?!
[11:59] ---
    The chief doesn't take the train often,
    and seems unusually giddy.
[12:04] ---
    And other than his smarts, personality,
    and luck, pops here is a regular guy.
[12:11] ---
    Is he going to be okay?
[12:13] ---
    Apparently, his eyes are
    in a slightly overdriven state.
[12:17] ---
    He seems to be seeing things
    that are usually in a cut-off range.
[12:22] ---
    This could be our chance.
[12:24] ---
    We're going to get a peek at the
    Elders that lurk on the other side.
[12:27] ---
    Yggdrashiad Central Station...
    Yggdrashiad Central Station...
[12:41] ---
    Are you all right?
[12:43] ---
    I can't take any more!
[12:48] ---
    Okay, start recording!
[12:50] ---
    September 12th, 16 hours,
    45 minutes, and 32 seconds.
[12:57] ---
    How do you do, everyone?
    This is Blitz T. Abrams.
[13:01] ---
    We are currently at
    Yggdrashiad Central Station,
[13:04] ---
    located directly over the center of the
    hole that is the heart of Hellsalem's Lot.
[13:09] ---
    What we are about to conduct is a
    search of the "Eternal Nothingness"
[13:12] ---
    by a young man who possesses
    the "All-seeing Eyes of the Gods."
[13:15] ---
    This may be the first time in human history
[13:18] ---
    that we grasp a clear picture of the Elder 13.
[13:22] ---
    Listen, as soon as you sense
    anything abnormal, close your eyes.
[13:27] ---
    No,
[13:28] ---
    if possible, hang in there until
    the last second before closing your eyes.
[13:32] ---
    No, hang in there until the last second,
[13:35] ---
    and when you feel "There's no
    hope left! I am very clearly going to die!
[13:39] ---
    I'm done for! I'm utterly
    done for! Stop! Stop! Stop!"
[13:44] ---
    Then close your eyes.
[13:45] ---
    Enough, already!
[13:52] ---
    "Noble beings cloaked in wings of red."
[13:55] ---
    You remember the color of their light, right?
[13:58] ---
    Yes.
[14:01] ---
    Is there one of them? Are there 13 of them?
[14:04] ---
    If we can confirm that they are within
    the hole, I could ask for no more.
[14:32] ---
    Leo! Are you okay?!
[14:36] ---
    What on earth did you see?!
[14:41] ---
    It was bad.
[14:43] ---
    Beneath us, it's bathed in crimson.
    Far from just 13 of them...
[14:50] ---
    Down there... the place is full of them!
[14:59] ---
    Klaus.
[15:00] ---
    Young Sir, we have an
    emergency on our hands.
[15:03] ---
    We just received a request
    for assistance from the FBI.
[15:07] ---
    They are currently being engaged
    at the Stomcreed Avenue Station.
[15:14] ---
    They are probably engaging
    Elder-class Blood Breeds.
[15:21] ---
    Yee-haw!
[15:26] ---
    They surmise that they will be unable
    to control them without you, Young Sir.
[15:33] ---
    Please return on the double!
[15:36] ---
    They've broken through
    the 2nd defense perimeter!
[15:38] ---
    We were wiped out!
[15:39] ---
    Watch yourself!
    They come attacking as ghouls!
[15:42] ---
    Hey there, don't give them
    any more soldiers to fight with.
[15:46] ---
    Stand aside.
[15:48] ---
    You're going in there underequipped!
[15:50] ---
    Nah, we'll be fine. For special jobs,
    you call in the specialists.
[15:54] ---
    Ah, this is horrible.
[15:56] ---
    I can't possibly be in a two-man
    cell with this black-hearted man.
[15:59] ---
    Oh, don't say that, K.K.
[16:01] ---
    This beats charging in after
    Elders alone in all sorts of ways.
[16:05] ---
    Let's be reasonable.
[16:07] ---
    I've been waiting three years for this.
[16:11] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[16:12] ---
    I've been hoping that
    this day would never come.
[16:16] ---
    You're so hopeless.
[16:18] ---
    I just want things to go smoothly, that's all.
[16:23] ---
    954 Blood Bullet Arts!
[16:25] ---
    Esmerelda Blood Freeze!
[16:33] ---
    Electrigger 1.25 Gigawatt!
[16:33] ---
    Espada del Cero Absoluto!
[16:42] ---
    Is that the friend that you wanted beaten?
[16:46] ---
    Stand back.
[16:47] ---
    This could kill you if you're not careful.
[16:49] ---
    We hold them for four minutes.
[16:51] ---
    Don't tell me what to do.
[16:55] ---
    Here goes.
[16:56] ---
    Right.
[17:00] ---
    Sorry, but could you
    hurry it up a little more?
[17:10] ---
    Are those...?
[17:34] ---
    If that place is swarming with those guys,
[17:37] ---
    how have we been safe up until now?
[17:41] ---
    If even one of them
    became inclined to blend in,
[17:44] ---
    and start encroaching on us,
[17:45] ---
    the human world would...
[17:51] ---
    ...easily be finished!
[18:00] ---
    Leonardo, with your eyes,
[18:04] ---
    you should be able
    to make out what the Blood Breeds look like.
[18:09] ---
    And their vulnerability!
[18:23] ---
    This takes me back.
[18:25] ---
    Did he take this?
[18:28] ---
    What?
[18:30] ---
    I knew those eyes are the real deal.
[18:34] ---
    You two have kind of let me down.
[18:38] ---
    Sorry to disappoint.
[18:41] ---
    We had heard that you were
    specialized human weapons.
[18:45] ---
    You're just one step away.
[18:49] ---
    While your blood, eating away and
    doing damage at the cellular level,
[18:54] ---
    would indeed be our natural enemy,
    our recovery starts in that very moment.
[19:01] ---
    You see? All better.
[19:06] ---
    That's good enough, monstress.
[19:10] ---
    Whether it takes 1,000 years, or 1,500 years,
[19:14] ---
    mankind is certain to overtake you.
[19:18] ---
    The day when we turn the paradox
    of killing the immortal around...
[19:22] ---
    will someday come.
[19:25] ---
    This is one grand play for time.
[19:29] ---
    But if, during this play for time,
[19:31] ---
    there are already fangs that
    can reach even the Elders...
[19:38] ---
    ...what will you do?
[19:43] ---
    I will now apply... my Brain
[19:46] ---
    my Brain
    Grid Blood Battle Technique!
[19:55] ---
    Valsh Rozzo Valctovoel Girika...
[19:59] ---
    I hereby...
[20:01] ---
    My name...?
[20:01] ---
    ...seal you.
[20:04] ---
    Despise me. Forgive me. Resign yourself.
[20:09] ---
    I take these barbarous actions
    to protect the human world!
[20:15] ---
    Form 999!
[20:17] ---
    Ewiges Gefängnis!
[20:33] ---
    No one was able to utter a single word.
[20:37] ---
    This was the power of the Elder Blood Breed.
[20:45] ---
    There were close to a thousand of
    these things lurking in the depths of Hell.
[20:51] ---
    We survived today,
    but what happens tomorrow?
[21:03] ---
    Oh.
[21:05] ---
    I've got it wrong.
[21:08] ---
    There's a slim chance of turning it around.
[21:10] ---
    We squeaked through a tight one today,
    but who knows about tomorrow?
[21:15] ---
    Even so, these people know one thing--
[21:19] ---
    getting your ass kicked by the facts,
    and giving up, are two different things.
[21:36] ---
    Does that go for you, too?
[21:39] ---
    You can see them too, can't you?
[21:45] ---
    You may be right.
[21:49] ---
    Are you--
[21:49] ---
    Go ahead and guess what I am.
[21:52] ---
    You already know my name, don't you?
[21:56] ---
    Eh?
[22:04] ---
    Huh?
[22:07] ---
    I'm not going back.
[22:08] ---
    But everyone's looking for you--
[22:10] ---
    I don't want to go back.
[22:25] ---
    Yo, how you doing? I see you're up
    to your usual nonsense, Femt.
[22:30] ---
    It's me,
[22:31] ---
    your friend,
[22:34] ---
    the King of Despair.
[22:36] ---
    Accustomed to the supernatural
    disaster-like madness,
[22:39] ---
    I mistake my daily life for peace
[22:42] ---
    As this rambling coaster
    jolts me back and forth,
[22:46] ---
    what is it that I mustn't lose sight of?
[22:50] ---
    Swallowed up by the concept
    of egalitarian fundamentalism,
[22:53] ---
    feels like even my soul is so much et cetera
[22:57] ---
    Have to clearly state what
    you love and what you hate
[23:01] ---
    or you're not all that different than a dummy
[23:04] ---
    Ah, crowds of people
    walking the streets at night
[23:08] ---
    some seem to be so happy,
    some seem to be so lonely
[23:12] ---
    The contrast jumps around the music staff
[23:17] ---
    creating the song and rhythm
[23:19] ---
    Marmalade and sugar song,
    peanuts and bitter step
[23:23] ---
    So sweet and then so acrid,
    it makes my head spin
[23:27] ---
    Let's head south-southwest
    and keep this party going
[23:30] ---
    to make it a night
    that will astonish the world
[23:34] ---
    I feel fantastic, a chain of reflections
[23:41] ---

[23:56] ---
    I feel fantastic,
    the chain of reflections goes on
[24:00] ---
    From one good time,
    to a problem, to another good time
[24:17] ---
    I don't have any idea what he's saying.
[24:20] ---
    There's no choice but
    for you to swallow this.
[24:22] ---
    The alterworld's own specially made
    slightly mystical devil's tongue.
[24:25] ---
    Once you eat some of this...
[24:26] ---
    Next time on Blood Blockade Battlefront:
[24:28] ---
    "The Tremorous Blood Hammer."
[24:30] ---
    Are you in the next one, too?
[24:31] ---
    Yes I am, indeed.
[24:33] ---
    Lucky you.
[24:33] ---
