[00:03] ---
    I hear...
[00:04] ---
    that you frequently slip past security
    and sneak out of Section 13. Is that right?
[00:04] OS
    EPISODE 2: TRUTH
[00:09] ---
    And that you even built
    a hideout in the slums?
[00:13] ---
    Intriguing!
[00:15] ---
    Out of all of the test subjects,
    you're the first one of your kind.
[00:20] ---
    I'm told that 10,000 yen or so in small change
    was found in your hideout.
[00:24] ---
    How did you collect it all?
[00:26] ---
    Hah!
[00:27] ---
    I didn't steal it!
[00:29] ---
    I did some cleanup work
    and sold parts, and stuff.
[00:31] ---
    I saved it up.
[00:33] ---
    That must've been a lot of work.
[00:35] ---
    You're just a child.
    It's a harsh world out there.
[00:39] ---
    Isn't it true that you realized you could live
    an easier life if you stayed in the Section?
[00:45] ---
    I guess so.
[00:46] ---
    The world is like a junkyard.
[00:48] ---
    But it's way better than that shitty Section!
[00:51] ---
    Once I had enough money saved,
[00:53] ---
    I was going to escape this place
    and live as I pleased, somewhere far away.
[00:57] ---
    But if I have to live in that place
    with a bunch of guys...
[00:59] ---
    who have the same face as me,
    knowing nothing about the world...
[01:02] ---
    I'd rather die!
[01:05] ---
    I see.
[01:07] ---
    So?
[01:08] ---
    You gonna kill me?
[01:09] ---
    What?
[01:10] ---
    You're the top preceptor at the Section, right?
[01:13] ---
    Mephisto Pheles?
[01:18] ---
    I certainly didn't see that coming!
[01:22] ---
    You...
[01:23] ---
    I do like you! You make me laugh!
[01:26] ---
    I do?
[01:28] ---
    So, you like me, Mephisto?
[01:33] ---
    Then, make me an Exwire!
[01:36] ---
    Old man!
[03:13] ---
    Make you an Exwire?
[03:15] ---
    I know that every 15 years,
    you pick an Exwire from each group!
[03:20] ---
    This is year 15!
[03:22] ---
    No one's been picked
    from the Azazel Group yet!
[03:24] ---
    And I meet all the conditions!
[03:25] ---
    Give it to me!
[03:27] ---
    If I become an Exwire, I'll only have to work
    as a test subject once a year!
[03:30] ---
    If I become an exorcist,
    I'll be able to make my own living!
[03:33] ---
    If I become a Paladin, I'll have all the status,
    money, honor and big boo— I'll have women!
[03:37] ---
    I'll be free!
[03:39] ---
    I was made to save humans from demons!
[03:43] ---
    I want no part of that kind of life!
[03:45] ---
    I won't go out as a sacrifice
    to the demons!
[03:54] ---
    How ignorant and foolish can you be?
[03:57] ---
    Becoming a Paladin
    is not your ticket to freedom.
[04:01] ---
    Listen up now.
[04:02] ---
    If you become an Exwire, you'll have to sign
    a Morinath Contract...
[04:06] ---
    prohibiting you from leaking anything
    about the Section, with your life on the line.
[04:12] ---
    The training is beyond brutal.
[04:14] ---
    As a former test subject, you'd never be allowed
    to drop out as long as you live.
[04:20] ---
    Even if, for argument's sake,
    you did become a Paladin,
[04:22] ---
    you'd only be a dog
    who's sworn lifelong fealty to the Order.
[04:26] ---
    How sad.
[04:28] ---
    You would never become free, you see.
[04:34] ---
    Fine by me.
[04:35] ---
    Huh?
[04:36] ---
    I'll kill every last enemy
    that shows up before me.
[04:40] ---
    I'll kill, kill, kill like crazy...
[04:43] ---
    and once I'm the Paladin,
    I'll have no more use for my owners.
[04:46] ---
    The last thing I'll do
    is tear out your windpipe!
[04:51] ---
    Interesting.
[04:53] ---
    Very well! I'm going to recommend you
    as the Exwire from the Azazel Group.
[04:58] ---
    Huh? Seriously?
[05:00] ---
    Old man!
[05:01] ---
    He sure is crazy fierce!
[05:03] ---
    He kinda reminds me of myself again,
    but he's totally different!
[05:07] ---
    However, I do have one condition.
[05:10] ---
    If you ever succumb
    to a demon, even once...
[05:14] ---
    I ask that you grant me just one favor
    and do anything I say.
[05:18] ---
    What's up with that?
[05:21] ---
    Well, whatever. I'm in.
[05:28] ---
    You'd better keep your word!
[05:33] ---
    Dear me.
[05:35] ---
    Okumura!
[05:36] ---
    You've mastered the techniques
    of that sleuthing housekeeper from TV, I see!
[05:42] ---
    What's this Section thing
    the old man mentioned?
[05:46] ---
    I know that the Exorcism Cram School
    was called "the Asylum" at this time...
[05:50] ---
    but are the Asylum and the Section
    different things?
[05:54] ---
    Now then, please move on.
[05:56] ---
    What, you're not gonna tell me?
[06:01] ---
    How many years have gone by since then?
[06:03] ---
    That would be four.
[06:04] ---
    All of a sudden!
[06:05] ---
    This place, which you and the others
    now call the "Exorcism Cram School"...
[06:09] ---
    has long been commonly known
    as a foster home for children, the Asylum,
[06:13] ---
    which also served
    as an exorcist training school.
[06:17] ---
    Good morning, Lord Pheles!
[06:19] ---
    Good morning!
[06:21] ---
    Do act like you're someone
    on my protective detail.
[06:26] ---
    Here, we took in children who'd received Temptaints
    or who had demon blood and were orphaned...
[06:31] ---
    and trained them to become exorcists.
[06:36] ---
    Hey!
[06:37] ---
    Mom!
[06:39] ---
    However, it was shut down
    after the Blue Night.
[06:43] ---
    Do you know why?
[06:45] ---
    How should I know? So, how come?
[06:48] ---
    Because it was a crappy place.
[06:53] ---
    The Asylum was a front, so to speak.
[06:56] ---
    Hidden deep inside it
    was a research lab called "Section 13."
[07:02] ---
    Research?
[07:04] ---
    The nature of that research was complex.
[07:06] ---
    Not something that you would understand.
[07:09] ---
    Well, I guess not, but still...
[07:15] ---
    To put it succinctly...
[07:17] ---
    Yes.
[07:18] ---
    We were trying to produce human bodies able
    to withstand being possessed by King-class demons.
[07:24] ---
    It was research to produce clones of the
    Demon Kings and raise them to become vessels.
[07:31] ---
    Shiro Fujimoto was born here.
[07:34] ---
    As a clone of Azazel, the King of Spirits.
[07:40] ---
    Mephisto has been using scores of human lives
    in experiments to create vessels for demons.
[07:45] ---
    Not only that, but Father was a test subject
    produced by those very experiments...
[07:51] ---
    Are you...
[07:54] ---
    Are you the enemy after all?
[07:56] ---
    Why would you do something like this?
[07:58] ---
    It was for Lucifer's sake.
[08:02] ---
    The test subjects...
[08:03] ---
    the researchers...
[08:04] ---
    all of the research itself...
[08:07] ---
    everything in this facility...
[08:10] ---
    exist in order to simply buy time...
[08:13] ---
    until the enormous bomb
    known as Lucifer goes off.
[08:23] ---
    From here on out...
[08:24] ---
    you will stand with your feet spread shoulder-width,
    your hands clasped behind your back...
[08:27] ---
    and you will not speak a word behind me.
[09:00] ---
    Lord Pheles.
[09:01] ---
    I apologize for being late.
[09:04] ---
    Will you be able to start
    the experiment now, Eminescu?
[09:07] ---
    Yes.
[09:08] ---
    Although he's feeling
    especially unwell today.
[09:12] ---
    But that's ideal for the experiment.
[09:14] ---
    Then, please begin.
[09:17] ---
    We're starting the experiment!
[09:20] ---
    Well, well!
[09:21] ---
    To think that Shemihaza and the Grigori Agency
    would grace us with their presence...
[09:27] ---
    It is my duty to observe everything.
[09:30] ---
    As we cannot very well leave
    the Sacred Sage alone.
[09:34] ---
    Please look this way.
[09:36] ---
    Elixir 51.
[09:38] ---
    We extracted the blood serum of 59 demons
    with superior physical regeneration capabilities...
[09:45] ---
    and injected it into dead mice and humans.
[09:48] ---
    We then extracted more blood
    from the samples inhibiting necrosis...
[09:52] ---
    and after experimenting on every
    test subject in the Lucifer Group,
[09:55] ---
    we saw heightened cell regeneration
    in 11 of them.
[10:00] ---
    We extracted cells from those 11 test subjects
    and refined them to produce this Elixir 51.
[10:11] ---
    We believe this is the drug
    that will alleviate...
[10:15] ---
    Lord Lucifer's suffering somewhat.
[10:20] ---
    Uh, meaning...
[10:22] ---
    it's a drug that they've run
    tons of gruesome experiments to make...
[10:26] ---
    and it's all for that guys' body?
[10:30] ---
    But why?
[10:37] ---
    About 30 minutes have gone by, right?
[10:40] ---
    Any change in his vitals?
[10:42] ---
    N-No changes so far!
[10:44] ---
    Do not move an inch from there.
[10:51] ---
    Brother...
[10:53] ---
    Can you hear my voice?
[10:57] ---
    How are you feeling?
[11:09] ---
    It appears to have failed.
[11:13] ---
    Brother...
[11:14] ---
    If you abandon that body, you will be freed
    from the pain of your suffering.
[11:19] ---
    Do not involve Assiah in this any further...
[11:21] ---
    and return quietly to Gehenna.
[11:24] ---
    You shall be granted
    a new physical body eventually.
[11:34] ---
    Samael...
[11:38] ---
    You are...
[11:39] ---
    cruel...
[11:46] ---
    indeed.
[11:51] ---
    One of these days...
[11:54] ---
    I...
[11:56] ---
    I will be...
[11:58] ---
    r-rewarded.
[12:04] ---
    I...
[12:05] ---
    I believe that.
[12:12] ---
    Any more of this would aggravate
    my brother's condition.
[12:14] ---
    Let us call it a day, then.
[12:17] ---
    This was unfortunate, but I have high hopes
    for the success of the Elixir experiments...
[12:21] ---
    Eminescu.
[12:23] ---
    My deepest apologies.
[12:58] ---
    Lucifer...
[13:00] ---
    I did see him once before!
[13:03] ---
    Compared to that day, he was even more...
[13:06] ---
    way more...
[13:07] ---
    Did you feel it firsthand?
[13:09] ---
    What would happen
    if he were to completely snap?
[13:13] ---
    I get it!
[13:15] ---
    So, that's why, huh?
[13:16] ---
    What's this?
[13:22] ---
    Shiro!
[13:23] ---
    Old man!
[13:24] ---
    So, today's the day
    you must perform your yearly task?
[13:27] ---
    I thank you for your hard work.
[13:29] ---
    He's absolutely huge now!
[13:31] ---
    I hear that you're
    a particularly competent Exwire.
[13:36] ---
    I hope you can become an exorcist soon.
[13:40] ---
    Drop dead.
[13:45] ---
    Four years have gone by,
    but he's still a Section 13 test subject.
[13:50] ---
    Surely, Lucifer will never give up
    until he gains the perfect body.
[13:56] ---
    They exist in order to quell his madness.
[14:02] ---
    Initially, a massive amount of clones were produced...
[14:06] ---
    in order to create Lucifer's new vessel...
[14:09] ---
    but it failed to work out.
[14:11] ---
    At which point,
    Eminescu, whom you just met...
[14:14] ---
    came up with the idea of developing the Elixir,
    a drug for eternal youth.
[14:18] ---
    He reasoned that such an Elixir
    would let him turn any body into a vessel.
[14:24] ---
    But...
[14:26] ---
    for the clones he experimented on
    with the drugs he produced...
[14:30] ---
    it brought on hell.
[14:47] ---
    Hey, Goro...
[14:49] ---
    So, you're still alive, huh?
[14:52] ---
    Are you all right?
[15:02] ---
    Even if they're lucky enough to survive,
    their humanity is destroyed.
[15:10] ---
    This is...
[15:12] ---
    the place that produced
    the man named Shiro Fujimoto.
[15:16] ---
    I'm going to survive, no matter what!
[15:19] ---
    I'm going to escape!
[15:25] ---
    Wasn't there any other way?
[15:28] ---
    No way is it okay to do this!
[15:30] ---
    There was no other way
    to protect the world.
[15:35] ---
    I don't get it!
[15:37] ---
    To be honest, I can't grasp
    those kinds of feelings.
[15:40] ---
    After all, I am a demon.
[15:43] ---
    Is that right?
[15:44] ---
    Anyway, this kind of thing...
[15:46] ---
    What's this? You're ready to flee already?
[15:50] ---
    Like I can stand to watch this? Moron!
[16:01] ---
    I didn't want to see it.
[16:06] ---
    It would've been too painful!
[16:08] ---
    Gather round!
[16:09] ---
    Huh?
[16:10] ---
    Oh, crap!
[16:12] ---
    Where am I?
[16:14] ---
    The target you'll be exorcising
    in today's mission is an Ent!
[16:17] ---
    Mission?
[16:18] ---
    It's fused with an Evil Ghost...
[16:20] ---
    and there have been deaths among tourists
    and those taking part in a Test of Courage!
[16:24] ---
    It's an extremely ferocious demon. You may be
    backup, but don't let your guard down!
[16:27] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:28] ---
    I can't hear you!
[16:30] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:32] ---
    Mom!
[16:33] ---
    Is she a little bigger
    than when I just saw her?
[16:38] ---
    While the exorcists and Exwires
    are exorcising it,
[16:40] ---
    you Pages will provide rearguard support!
[16:42] ---
    To weaken the Ent...
[16:44] ---
    you will surround it with torches!
[16:46] ---
    Distribute the torches!
[16:48] ---
    It's our first real action.
[16:50] ---
    We've got to be careful
    not to make any stupid mistakes.
[16:53] ---
    Don't drag us down, okay, Yuri?
[16:55] ---
    Okay!
[16:56] ---
    Yuri's competent.
[16:57] ---
    If anyone's going to drag us down,
    it's you, Jenny.
[17:00] ---
    What did you say?
[17:01] ---
    What's your problem?
    Only treating Yuri nice!
[17:03] ---
    Okay, then I'll treat you nice, Jenny!
[17:07] ---
    The exorcist unit has arrived!
[17:09] ---
    The Exwires are here, too!
[17:15] ---
    Shiro!
[17:21] ---
    Y-You...
[17:24] ---
    Do you remember me? I'm Yuri!
[17:26] ---
    I guess it's been about five years!
    You look like you're doing well!
[17:28] ---
    I'm so glad!
[17:32] ---
    Hah!
[17:33] ---
    Don't talk to me, brat.
[17:39] ---
    Y-You don't remember? Who I am?
[17:43] ---
    Who's that? What's this?
[17:45] ---
    - So, that's Shiro, huh?
    - He's pretty hot, isn't he?
[17:47] ---
    So, he really exists!
[17:49] ---
    All right! Pages, stand by
    at your respective positions!
[17:52] ---
    After inflicting damage on its roots
    and bringing it down, strike the heart in its head area!
[17:57] ---
    The target is huge!
[17:58] ---
    Don't get too close to it until it's down!
[18:12] ---
    Th-That's an Ent?
[18:14] ---
    It's gigantic!
[18:15] ---
    Attack!
[18:16] ---
    Advance with caution while burning the roots!
[18:28] ---
    Don't get too close to the roots!
[18:31] ---
    Fall back for now!
[18:32] ---
    Damn, what a drag!
[18:34] OS
    HOLY OIL
[18:43] ---
    What the...
[18:44] ---
    Who's that? Come back here!
[18:57] ---
    Hey, what's going on?
[18:59] ---
    One of the Exwires just charged it
    without permission!
[19:01] ---
    Are you kidding me? Is he a moron?
[19:03] ---
    Hey, isn't that Shiro?
[19:06] ---
    The roots have gone still!
    Now's our chance! Burn them!
[19:09] ---
    - Y-Yes, sir!
    - Yes, sir!
[19:21] ---
    Die.
[19:46] ---
    L-Look at the way he carries himself!
[19:48] ---
    Is he really still just an Exwire?
[19:50] ---
    What's his name?
[19:52] ---
    Shiro.
[19:53] ---
    Is he really human?
[19:58] ---
    Greenmen?
[20:00] ---
    I guess the Greenmen from the forest
    got roasted by the fire and are on the run now.
[20:03] ---
    They're harmless if you let them be.
[20:09] ---
    Shiro...
[20:11] ---
    You sure are amazing.
[20:19] ---
    Shiro!
[20:21] ---
    You didn't get hurt, did you?
[20:24] ---
    But that kind of fighting
    is dangerous, you know.
[20:27] ---
    I get that you're really powerful,
    but everyone was so surprised!
[20:32] ---
    So was I.
[20:45] ---
    Wh-Wh-Why would you...
[20:48] ---
    They're demons.
[20:50] ---
    But they'd escaped! They were so scared!
[20:53] ---
    So, what if they were?
    That's what exorcists do. Exorcise demons.
[20:57] ---
    Wait...
[20:58] ---
    That's true...
[21:00] ---
    but you're wrong!
[21:02] ---
    An exorcist saves humans from demons!
[21:07] ---
    I've heard this conversation before!
[21:10] ---
    It's not about killing harmless demons!
[21:13] ---
    Not when we're being aided by demonic power
    to fight! We have to get along with them!
[21:18] ---
    Huh? Do you seriously mean that?
[21:21] ---
    That'll kill you.
[21:23] ---
    Actually...
[21:24] ---
    just die.
[21:27] ---
    You're the type of person
    that I hate the most.
[21:34] ---
    Gather round!
[21:35] ---
    Yuri, let's go!
[21:37] ---
    Old man...
[21:39] ---
    He's not just fierce! It's like he's...
[21:42] ---
    destructive!
[21:45] ---
    Huh? What's that over there?
[21:48] ---
    - That blue light...
    - It's probably a rinka.
[21:50] ---
    Now that's unusual.
[21:53] ---
    Satan!
[23:34] OS
