[00:15] ---
    William,
[00:17] ---
    take care of Mary.
[00:27] ---
    Dad...!
[00:29] ---
    Mom...!
[00:31] ---
    No!
[00:41] ---
    Hellsalem's Lot
[00:43] ---
    formerly New York.
[00:46] ---
    Three years ago, a major disaster
    of unknown origin took place here,
[00:51] ---
    known as the Great Collapse of New York.
[00:56] ---
    The Great Collapse was not
    just a shocking event for this world,
[00:59] ---
    but for the other world, as well.
[01:02] ---
    People known as "casters"
    were gathered from both worlds,
[01:06] ---
    and a barrier was raised to halt the Collapse.
[01:11] ---
    Thanks to their actions,
    the collapse was miraculously halted,
[01:15] ---
    but many mysteries still remain.
[01:18] ---
    Almost nobody knows exactly
    what happened in the center of the hole.
[01:24] ---
    But research into the Collapse
    continues to this day,
[01:28] ---
    and most of the casters
    from that time are involved in it.
[01:32] ---
    Wow,
[01:34] ---
    you sure do know your stuff.
[01:36] ---
    My mama and papa are casters!
[01:42] ---
    That's something to be proud of.
[01:44] ---
    Okay, next we're going to
[01:44] ---
    Did you know that?
[01:46] ---
    I want to see the bottom of it!
[01:46] ---
    learn a little about the alterworld.
[01:48] ---
    This is cool!
[01:50] ---
    You, too, right?
[01:51] ---
    That's the kind of family we are. But still,
[01:55] ---
    to be honest, I don't want to
    have much to do with it anymore.
[02:00] ---
    I never want to go through that again.
[02:08] ---
    Upon opening the door,
    I found a twisted noontime evening

[02:12] ---
    How did I get home yesterday?
    My body's the only thing I'm sure of

[02:17] ---
    Good morning; I'll carry on
    with being lost once more

[02:21] ---
    among the unknown sights
    that have become so familiar

[02:35] ---
    After I figured all was lost,
    I've been getting by somehow,

[02:39] ---
    somewhat embarrassed to
    be tough enough to still be alive

[02:44] ---
    I know what I have to do, even if I forget
[02:48] ---
    Otherwise, things become so agonizing
[02:53] ---
    I look up to see someone with big black eyes
[02:57] ---
    It's because I saw you
    that this light came to be

[03:02] ---
    Surrounded by a world
    painted in colors of my choosing,

[03:07] ---
    where do I find meaning in
    the scars I could not choose?

[03:11] ---
    In the heart of a world
    where only I am the hero,

[03:16] ---
    I'm onstage, appearing
    in every scene until the end

[03:20] ---
    What do I do? I can't
    even pretend to be empty

[03:25] ---
    Hello, hi there, here I am
[03:30] ---
    Blood Blockade Battlefront
[03:39] ---
    I drank too much.
[03:41] ---
    Hey, Zapp, get up, already.
[03:44] ---
    I sure am hungry.
[03:47] ---
    A Jack Cheese Rocket Burger,
[03:49] ---
    one french fry,
    some onion rings, a large Peps...
[03:53] ---
    Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
    Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
[03:56] ---
    Gah! What's the matter
    with that horse?!
[04:00] ---
    Damn it.
[04:01] ---
    Hey, buddy,
[04:03] ---
    give me all your money, would you?
[04:07] ---
    This is all of it, right?
[04:08] ---
    Y-Yes!
[04:10] ---
    Oh yeah! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
    Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
[04:15] ---
    What is the matter
    with that casino?!
[04:18] ---
    Damn it.
[04:19] ---
    Now, now, let's drink up!
[04:26] ---
    I drank too much.
[04:27] ---
    Hey, Zapp, get up, already.
[04:30] ---
    I sure am hungry, damn it.
[04:33] ---
    One two-piece chicken,
    one order of nuggets, some fries,
[04:37] ---
    Oh, just a moment.
[04:37] ---
    and then...
[04:38] ---
    Angelica! Register!
[04:40] ---
    Tch! Hey, come off it! What's the big idea,
    keeping customers waiting--
[04:44] ---
    Thank you for waiting!
[04:46] ---
    Will this complete your order?
[04:51] ---
    Sir?
[04:53] ---
    You're smoking...
[04:54] ---
    Z's Longest Day (Part 1)
[05:02] ---
    Ah, that sure takes me back.
[05:04] ---
    Those tentacles sure are coming in clear, huh?
[05:07] ---
    The high-resolution version
    came out not long ago.
[05:11] ---
    What happened to your stomach?!
[05:13] ---
    What about it, pube-head?
[05:15] ---
    Don't "What about it?" me!
    That has to be a real problem, right?!
[05:20] ---
    Huh? Ow-w-w-w-w-w-w!
[05:23] ---
    You know, I got asked for some
    advice by a friend of mine today
[05:26] ---
    about a strange, oversexed punk
    that she had gotten involved with.
[05:30] ---
    She works at Kentudgy Fried Chicken,
[05:34] ---
    and every day, he comes in
    and pesters her for her number.
[05:38] ---
    She says he's downright harassing her,
    and that she's disgusted.
[05:40] ---
    Who do you suppose she means?
[05:43] ---
    What are you, dense?!
    But I'll let you off the hook today
[05:46] ---
    in exchange for Angelica's email address.
[05:48] ---
    Like I'd ever tell you,
    you idiot! You stalker monkey!
[05:54] ---
    Who are you calling a stalker?!
[05:55] ---
    Who?!
[05:58] ---
    What's the matter?
[06:00] ---
    Steven.
[06:01] ---
    Oh, I just felt a chill.
[06:03] ---
    Perfect timing. Go ahead and die from it.
[06:06] ---
    What was that, she-bitch?!
[06:09] ---
    Shut up, turd-monkey!
[06:10] ---
    That's enough! That was an update
    from the fang-hunter HQ.
[06:14] ---
    They've confirmed that the
    bloodline gate in India has opened.
[06:18] ---
    The Blood Breeds are on the move,
    and they've come out swinging.
[06:22] ---
    Their objective is probably...
[06:24] ---
    this city.
[06:35] ---
    Target has lost half its body now,
    and is still fighting while moving.
[06:42] ---
    We only have scraps of information,
    but it's highly reliable.
[06:45] ---
    Why only scraps of information?
    It's from their HQ, right?
[06:49] ---
    The Indian Air Force Base at Gwalior
[06:52] ---
    was put on lockdown three hours ago.
[06:55] ---
    Apparently, the place is swarming
    with ghouls, and out of control.
[06:59] ---
    Huh. Well, when all of the witnesses
    have been turned, what can you do?
[07:04] ---
    But if it's the whole base, then...
[07:07] ---
    Yeah, we seem to be dealing
    with a fairly high-order being.
[07:12] ---
    Which means that we forgo trying to kill it,
    and move ahead with Klaus sealing it away.
[07:17] ---
    And who exactly is
    going after such a big fish?
[07:20] ---
    We don't know. It's someone other than us.
[07:24] ---
    Found them!
[07:26] ---
    The cafŽ on the roof
    of the Parcissus Building,
[07:28] ---
    "Castle in the Sky."
[07:33] ---
    Take cover! Take cover!
[07:44] ---
    Hey, Dr. Steven, hurry it up.
[07:47] ---
    The horseplay between these two monsters
    is knocking the policesuits around.
[07:58] ---
    Move away from the door,
    and cover your ears!
[08:13] ---
    That was too close for comfort.
    Now I'm torqued off.
[08:16] ---
    Eh?
[08:18] ---
    And why do I have to
    be stuck with you again?!
[08:24] ---
    Now, now, now, now, now, we've sized things
    up as long as we can. Let's go, okay, K.K.?
[08:33] ---
    So, which one's the enemy?
[08:36] ---
    You said he was missing half his body, right?
[08:39] ---
    In that case, it's definitely that one.
[08:41] ---
    Yeah, but, in this city,
[08:44] ---
    I'm not sure you can judge
    someone by appearances, K.K.
[08:50] ---
    Mirrors!
[08:50] ---
    Mirrors!
[08:59] ---
    This one!
[08:59] ---
    This one!
[09:06] ---
    Zapp? What's going on?
[09:09] ---
    This one's the Blood Breed, right?
[09:11] ---
    Then who's that one?!
[09:14] ---
    Please! Cut me some slack, Master!
[09:25] ---
    He shed his attack mechanisms to escape!
[09:27] ---
    He's regenerating in mid-air! Not good!
[09:34] ---

[09:45] ---
    Piercing Fang-- Seven Hells, Five Kalpas
[09:48] ---
    Nicely done!
[09:49] ---
    No, he's regenerating.
[09:51] ---
    Saddle up, K.K.!
    Let's hit him a few more times!

[10:04] ---
    Heavenly Winged Bellows
[10:06] ---
    Wind?
[10:09] ---
    A legendary double-attribute master?
[10:12] ---
    I'm overwhelmed.
[10:14] ---
    The real deal among real deals.
[10:25] ---
    Is that... a Zhen Tai Dan?
[10:28] ---
    "Indeed it is.
[10:30] ---
    Your level of comprehension is barely what
    is in your literature, you rank youngsters.
[10:34] ---
    This is the final,
    self-enclosed form of the Blood Breeds.
[10:38] ---
    Burn its image well into your
    pitifully undersized brains."
[10:43] ---
    I-It's not me! I'm just translating!
[10:53] ---
    It is an honor to meet you,
[10:56] ---
    "Blood Battle God,"
[10:57] ---
    and Founder of the
    Big Dipper Style Blood Technique,
[11:00] ---
    Master Raju Jugei Shizuyoshi.
[11:08] ---
    "Never mind the flattery.
[11:09] ---
    Being told so by one so unskilled
    that they would hesitate one instant
[11:13] ---
    over which one to attack carries no value."
[11:17] ---
    I told you, that's not me talking!
[11:21] ---
    Was this opponent a formidable foe,
    even for you, Master Jugei?
[11:27] ---
    "Well, now... Difficult to say..."
[11:30] ---
    My word, there's no
    pinning this gentleman down.
[11:34] ---
    It's not uncommon for him to
    go missing for decades at a time.
[11:38] ---
    During those intervals, traces have
    been discovered of the slaying
[11:41] ---
    of some fairly high-order Blood Breeds,
[11:43] ---
    and it's all said to be
    the work of this gentleman.
[11:46] ---
    Well, he won't tell us the truth about that.
[11:50] ---
    "Your blood is the one bestowed
    with the incarceration technique?"
[11:54] ---
    Yes, sir. My name is Klaus V Reinherz.
[11:59] ---
    "You have an interesting countenance,
    but are too inexperienced to be a leader.
[12:03] ---
    Look here.
[12:05] ---
    This sack of crap who calls me
    Master has become a garbage pile
[12:08] ---
    that doesn't understand the
    first letter of the word discipline.
[12:11] ---
    He's like a heap of swarthy,
    rotten, toxic sticky rice.
[12:15] ---
    If you took raw displeasure,
    formed it into a human shape,
[12:17] ---
    and filled it with snakes and scorpions,
[12:19] ---
    it still wouldn't be as unpleasant as this one.
[12:22] ---
    He spends his days in idleness,
[12:24] ---
    in a self-indulgent mental state
    nowhere near moderation, huh?
[12:30] ---
    It's hopeless to even look at him.
    What a wretched state of affairs.
[12:35] ---
    For all he eats, and the gas he passes,
[12:38] ---
    he's worse than the dead
    corpse of a stepped-on bug."
[12:42] ---
    Poor guy.
[12:44] ---
    "That being said,
    I'll take this one back with me."
[12:47] ---
    Huh?! Hey, hold on, you old buzzard!
[12:50] ---
    I mean, Master!
[12:57] ---
    Who are you calling a dung beetle?!
[12:58] ---
    The hell I'm going to train with you!
[13:00] ---
    No, I'm not grateful, you old goblin!
    You flea-bitten rag!
[13:04] ---
    Ow-w-w-w-w-w-w!
[13:05] ---
    Now, now, good sir,
[13:08] ---
    Zapp is incorrigible human scum, to be sure,
[13:11] ---
    but to us, he is an important,
    indispensable member of the team.
[13:15] ---
    Your true opinions
    come out uninhibited, huh?!
[13:17] ---
    They inadvertently slip
    right on out, don't they?!
[13:19] ---
    Please,
[13:21] ---
    we ask that you reconsider.
[13:25] ---
    Huh?
[13:30] ---
    Zapp! Translate!
[13:33] ---
    Huh?
[13:34] ---
    He wants me to render
    the Zhen Tai Dan non-hostile.
[13:39] ---
    Call it a test, maybe...
[13:41] ---
    as a quid pro quo.
[13:47] ---
    "Right now, he's inside,
    undergoing high-speed regenerative healing.
[13:52] ---
    He's hyper-reflexively
    striking out at any external stimulus.
[13:55] ---
    There isn't a chance of even picking him up.
[13:58] ---
    There are six eyeball-like organs.
[14:00] ---
    Shoot them all out simultaneously."
[14:04] ---
    That's easy for you to say,
    but if I'm off by even .1 second...
[14:09] ---
    "At best he'll cut off both your arms,
[14:11] ---
    and at worst, all that
    will be left are your ankles."
[14:13] ---
    What are you, an idiot?!
[14:16] ---
    Huh? What are you doing, you old buzzard?!
[14:19] ---
    A barrier of blood?
[14:22] ---
    Master! No matter how you slice it,
    this is too much for him!
[14:26] ---
    Please...
[14:30] ---
    Let's do this.
[14:32] ---
    If the master is willing to go this far,
[14:34] ---
    he must have something of his own in mind.
[14:39] ---
    Big Dipper Style Blood Technique!
[14:42] ---
    Blade Ten--
[14:46] ---
    Holy crap! Worse than I expected!
[14:51] ---
    The source of that chill
    I felt must have been Master.
[14:55] ---
    The bastard thinks about
    nothing but his own training,
[15:00] ---
    so even if he loses a limb or two,
[15:03] ---
    he thinks he just can manage
    something with his blood techniques.
[15:06] ---
    For that matter, he actually can.
[15:10] ---
    Th-That death-hermit is way past
    the level of what you'd call reclusive.
[15:15] ---
    Aww, is he gonna force me to
    go to that hidden wasteland again?
[15:20] ---
    I can't bear those
    16-course-nightmare days of training...
[15:25] ---
    ever again!
[15:27] ---
    No No No No No No No No No No No No
[15:31] ---
    Take it easy, man. You have to focus, or you
    really won't be able to do this, dummy.
[15:39] ---
    Ah... now even the
    Gestaltzerfall effect is kicking in.
[15:50] ---
    Yes? Ah, Angelica?
[15:53] ---
    Mm-mm, it's perfectly fine.
    What's on your mind? Mm-hmm...
[15:58] ---
    Eh? What? You feel flushed all over
    and don't know what to do?
[16:03] ---
    You want that silver-haired bronze fellow
    to get crazy with you, right now?
[16:07] ---
    And it's got you feeling all wet and ready?
[16:11] ---
    Mmm, but he's a little bit busy now.
[16:15] ---
    No, for real, for real.
[16:17] ---
    He's either about to go to
    the hospital, or the funeral home,
[16:20] ---
    so I guess you'll just have to
    get over it. What a shame.
[16:23] ---
    Mm-hmm, well, see you later.
[16:25] ---
    Bye-bye.
[16:39] ---
    Nicely done.
[16:43] ---
    That level of concentration
    rivals my own, when I'm fast asleep.
[16:48] ---
    I have no choice but to admit it.
[16:51] ---
    You are my best pupil.
[17:01] ---
    Angelica, where are you right now?
[17:05] ---
    At the tone, the time
    will be 2:11 p.m., and 50 seconds.
[17:13] ---
    What, are you feeling shy?
[17:13] ---
    At the tone, the time will be 2:12 p.m., exactly.
[17:16] ---
    It doesn't matter what time it is.
[17:19] ---
    We're about to leap into a world
[17:19] ---
    At the tone, the time will be 2:12 p.m.,
[17:21] ---
    where we aren't captive to time!
[17:21] ---
    and ten seconds.
[17:26] ---
    Things are even more hectic
    than usual today, huh?
[17:29] ---
    You stay in your room and behave yourself.
[17:31] ---
    Okay.
[17:32] ---
    I always behave myself.
[17:35] ---
    You're such a liar. I hear things.
[17:41] ---
    What?
[17:43] ---
    He's a nice guy, isn't he?
[17:46] ---
    Where did you meet him?
[17:50] ---
    At the hospital.
    There is nowhere else, is there?
[17:53] ---
    That's not what I'm talking about.
[17:55] ---
    You know what it is that
    I'm asking, don't you, White?
[18:04] ---
    When I met him here for the first time,
[18:07] ---
    he said something strange.
[18:10] ---
    That earlier...
[18:12] ---
    he had seen me on the subway.
[18:16] ---
    At the time, I thought he'd just
    mistaken me for someone else.
[18:23] ---
    But...
[18:25] ---
    could I really have met him?
[18:28] ---
    I just didn't know it...
    And then, before I knew it, he...
[18:35] ---
    and I...
[18:37] ---
    Black!
[18:40] ---
    Stop that, Big Brother.
    Leo was just mistaken.
[18:45] ---
    It happens a lot.
[18:50] ---
    Yeah, you're right. Okay, then.
[18:57] ---
    Also, about that courtyard...
[19:00] ---
    You haven't been back again, have you?
[19:04] ---
    White?
[19:06] ---
    Who cares if I have?!
[19:07] ---
    I like going there! I feel relaxed there!
[19:12] ---
    That doesn't mean you can make
    yourself out to be a ghost, you know.
[19:18] ---
    It's a bad joke.
[19:22] ---
    There's nothing wrong
    with me anymore, physically.
[19:26] ---
    All the more reason, then.
[19:29] ---
    It's like Mom and Dad said, right? We are...
[19:33] ---
    ..."two-in-one"...
[19:35] ---
    ...right?
[19:38] ---
    I know.
[19:39] ---
    Okay, then.
[19:44] ---
    Come on! Don't sulk up there,
    come down and translate!
[19:47] ---
    It all worked out okay, didn't it?
[19:49] ---
    If anything, you should be grateful to Chain.
[19:53] ---
    It's no use. I can't see any sign of anything.
[19:56] ---
    Eh?
[19:58] ---
    If we can't find his true name,
[20:00] ---
    there's no way we can
    pull off an Elder-class seal.
[20:03] ---
    Yes, I know that.
[20:06] ---
    Um, I'm terribly sorry,
[20:09] ---
    but we haven't the *slightest
    *idea what you're saying.
[20:13] ---
    Could it be because his heart isn't here?
[20:16] ---
    You mean the rest of his missing body,
    still playing to rave reviews?
[20:22] ---
    Hey, hold on a second.
[20:24] ---
    Are you saying that just
    a torn-off piece of his body
[20:27] ---
    has been attacking us
    head-on this whole time?
[20:29] ---
    Oh, man...
[20:31] ---
    Still, where is the rest of him now?
[20:38] ---
    Huh?!
[20:40] ---
    Junior pupil?!
[20:42] ---
    What do you mean, bringing him here?!
[20:48] ---
    Hey, I heard a plane was on its way in!
[20:51] ---
    Are they crazy? Let's go watch!
[20:54] ---
    I want to see the tentacles!
[20:57] ---
    Sure is bustling, huh? What is it today?
[21:00] ---
    Don't ask me.
[21:02] ---
    Everyone out there is just
    a bunch of foolish partygoers.
[21:06] ---
    No fun at all. Right?
[21:08] ---
    Don't ask me.
[21:13] ---
    What...
[21:15] ---
    are you making White do?
[21:17] ---
    Don't make it sound so sordid.
    She's made a friend, right?
[21:22] ---
    You should be more grateful.
[21:26] ---
    You're lying! You can
    do what you like with me!
[21:30] ---
    But don't do anything to my sister!
[21:33] ---
    That's what you agreed to, right?!
[21:35] ---
    I'm telling you, I'm not doing anything.
[21:38] ---
    Really?!
[21:44] ---
    You go to sleep.
    It's my turn for a little while.
[21:48] ---
    I'm not really forcing her to do anything.
[21:52] ---
    She's doing it because she wants to.
[22:31] ---
    I hate the fog.
[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,

[22:54] ---
    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

[23:26] ---
    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] ---
    Marmalade and sugar song,

[23:44] ---

[23:52] ---
    to make it a night

[23:56] ---
    I feel fantastic,
    the chain of reflections goes on

[24:00] ---
    From one good time,
    to a problem, to another good time

[24:06] ---
    Thinking back on it now,
    nothing decent has happened all day.
[24:10] ---
    When I woke up, I didn't know
    where I was (I was plastered),
[24:13] ---
    walking down the street, a metal
    washtub falls out of the sky (Why?)
[24:16] ---
    and lately, a man I don't know
    has been showing up
[24:18] ---
    where the girl I like lives
    (Simply shocking).
[24:21] ---
    None of these are my fault. Every last one
    of them is because of that old buzzard!
[24:25] ---
    Hurry up and leave!
[24:27] ---
    Next time on Blood Blockade Battlefront:
[24:29] ---
    "Z's Longest Day (Part 2)."
[24:32] ---
    Why is it "Z"?
[24:33] ---
    It's "Zapp"! What's wrong with "Zapp"?!
[24:33] ---
    Z's Longest Day (Part 2)
