**[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!

Nicely done!
**[09:49] ---**
No, he's regenerating.
**[09:51] ---**
Saddle up, K.K.!
Let's hit him a few more times!

**[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,
peanuts and bitter step*
**[23:44] ---**
*So sweet and then so acrid,
it makes my head spin*
**[23:48] ---**
*Let's head south-southwest
and keep this party going*
**[23:52] ---**
*to make it a night
that will astonish the world*
**[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)
