[00:04] ---
    W-Wait...
[00:07] ---
    Please.
[00:08] ---
    I beg you, Okumura.
[00:11] ---
    I want you to use the Koma Sword
    to defeat the Impure King.

[00:15] ---
    I'm all too aware that this is an unreasonable
    and brazen request to make of you.

[00:19] ---
    But if...
[00:21] ---
    "If you have even the tiniest sliver of charity
    in your heart, as your father did,
[00:28] ---
    I would like to appeal it.
[00:30] ---
    Thank you for reading this far."
    Signed, Tatsuma Suguro.
[00:40] ---
    Just like I figured, that letter
    was a real eye-opener.
[00:44] ---
    But with all due respect
    to Suguro's father,
[00:47] ---
    it's just conjecture that Rin's flames
    would effect the Impure King.
[00:51] ---
    We can't allow him to use the Koma Sword
    based on something so shaky.
[00:55] ---
    Rin. This letter was written to you.
[00:59] ---
    What do you want to do?
[01:01] ---
    I...
[01:03] ---
    Shura. What's the point
    of asking him that?
[01:06] ---
    I... I want to help.
[01:09] ---
    Rin! Do you have any idea
    how big of a mess you're in?
[01:13] ---
    The Old Man saved me, too.
[01:18] ---
    So if he says there's a chance I can help,
    I want to fight!
[01:24] ---
    But in the end, I know that's just a request.
[01:27] ---
    - Then your request is den—
    - Okay, fine.
[01:30] ---
    "Here it descends,
    and to him it shall return."
[01:36] ---
    Shura, what are you...?
[01:38] ---
    What am I doing?
[01:39] ---
    He wants to fight, but I can't clear him
    without knowing the situaion, right?
[01:44] ---
    I'm gonna have him draw it here.
[01:47] ---
    Shura!
[01:48] ---
    Rin flared up and lost control
    just moments ago!
[01:51] ---
    It would be crazy to give him
    the Koma Sword now!
[01:54] ---
    If something happens,
    he'll be executed for sure!
[01:57] ---
    Now look here...
[01:59] ---
    The Vatican was alerted the instant
    I cast that imprisonment spell!
[02:03] ---
    He's already in a situation where they can
    execute him at any time for any reason!
[02:07] ---
    It's way too late to chicken out now!
    Here's the deal.
[02:10] ---
    If the Impure King still exists
    and has come back to life,
[02:14] ---
    he poses a much bigger threat
    than Rin right now.
[02:19] ---
    Plus, I know you've seen it
    plenty of times!
[02:22] ---
    This idiot's flames have been effective
    against demons before.
[02:27] ---
    It's worth a try.
[02:30] ---
    Rin. Try to draw it.
[02:38] ---
    Huh?
[02:42] ---
    What's wrong?
[02:43] ---
    What are you doing, Rin?
[02:45] ---
    No...
[02:49] ---
    I don't get it!
[02:51] ---
    I can't draw it!
[02:54] ---
    What's going on?
[02:55] ---
    I don't know!
[02:58] ---
    The damn thing won't budge
    for some reason!
[03:01] ---
    Then I'll draw it for you. Give it here.
[03:05] ---
    I-I can do it myself!
[03:07] ---
    It must be snagged somewhere!
    Yeah, that's gotta be it!
[03:10] ---
    Rin?
[03:12] ---
    Oh, I get it.
[03:14] ---
    Rin, you're scared, aren't you?
[03:17] ---
    Hey, I can't say I blame you.
[03:20] ---
    I mean, just a while ago, you were psyched
    over finally being able to control your flames,
[03:26] ---
    but now you feel like you're suddenly
    back at square one, don't you?
[03:31] ---
    "The next time I draw this sword,
    what will happen to me?"
[03:35] ---
    "I might lose control again."
[03:37] ---
    "I might actually hurt someone this time."
[03:40] ---
    - I don't—
    - You know I'm right.
[03:43] ---
    Your confidence is totally shot.
SIGN    Episode 7: Like a Fire Burning Bright
[05:19] ---
    H-Hey, just wait a minute!
[05:22] ---
    Would that keep me
    from drawing the sword?
[05:25] ---
    Rin, give back the sword.
[05:29] ---
    Goodness gracious...
[05:31] ---
    Oof...
[05:32] ---
    Guten Abend, you three.
[05:37] ---
    Lord Pheles?
[05:39] ---
    Mephisto? What do you want?
[05:41] ---
    What do I want? Such a rude tone.
[05:44] ---
    My first appearance in ages,
    and it's in a jail? How disappointing!
[05:49] ---
    And to think that I came all this way
    to clean up your mess.
[05:52] ---
    Eins, zwei, drei!
[05:57] ---
    Das stärkste Gefängnis.
[06:00] ---
    The most impenetrable prison!
[06:08] ---
    I got a call from Vatican HQ.
[06:11] ---
    As a result of the imprisonment spell being cast,
    by a majority vote of the Grigori Court of Inquiry,
[06:17] ---
    Rin Okumura has been
    sentenced to death.
[06:22] ---
    He— W-Wait!
[06:27] ---
    They sure didn't waste any time.
    Is this for real?
[06:29] ---
    I'm not so bored
    that I'd come all this way simply to lie.
[06:35] ---
    Yukio. You okay?
[06:37] ---
    But putting down the Impure King
    is our top priority at the moment.
[06:44] ---
    I do apologize.
    Would you be a dear and hold this?
[06:46] ---
    Wait, how did you know that?
    If you're that in the loop, help out!
[06:50] ---
    Who, me?
[06:52] ---
    I couldn't possibly!
    I can't abide uncleanliness.
[06:55] ---
    Allergies, you see.
[06:57] ---
    My nose is already running!
[07:01] ---
    If the Impure King has been revived,
    it will grow rapidly,
[07:05] ---
    and when it reaches maturity,
    Kyoto will become a city of death.
[07:10] ---
    I'm almost back to the field office
    with Mamushi!
[07:13] ---
    Have as many people as possible
    waiting for us at the entrance!
[07:16] ---
    Can you see it from there?
[07:18] ---
    Can you see anything, Uwabami?
[07:21] ---
    That's... the Impure King?
[07:25] ---
    I suspect it will take a lot of manpower
    to defeat the Impure King.
[07:29] ---
    It's nothing fancy, but allow me
    to give you some equipment as a present.
[07:34] ---
    I do hope that they will prove...
    helpful to you in some way.
[07:39] ---
    And with that,
    I shall pray for your success!
[07:43] ---
    Hey, wait!
[07:45] ---
    That bastard.
[07:47] ---
    In any event, let's focus
    on doing what we can.
[07:51] ---
    You...
[07:52] ---
    I expect that we'll also be sent out
    against the Impure King.
[08:01] ---
    The field office has issued
    an emergency muster call!
[08:03] ---
    All able-bodied personnel,
    go there immediately!
[08:06] ---
    Yes, sir!
[08:08] ---
    It's really frantic out there
    for some reason.
[08:11] ---
    Do you think something's happened?
[08:14] ---
    Was Mamushi really captured?
[08:15] ---
    Yeah. I heard Juzo brought her back.
[08:18] ---
    Mamushi?
[08:20] ---
    Bon!
[08:23] ---
    Juzo's back!
[08:25] ---
    Mamushi! Juzo!
[08:28] ---
    Thank you...
    for gathering everyone here.
[08:36] ---
    Everyone... I am the traitor.
[08:42] ---
    But even so, I want you to listen...
    to what I have to say!
[08:49] ---
    Earlier tonight, Saburota Todo and I
[08:53] ---
    used the Right and Left Eyes we stole...
[08:57] ---
    to revive the Impure King!
[08:59] ---
    The Impure King?
[09:01] ---
    But isn't the Impure King a demon
    that was defeated back in the Edo Period?
[09:04] ---
    It was kept sealed beneath Kongo-Shinzan
    in a state of suspended animation.
[09:11] ---
    Quiet down!
[09:12] ---
    As we speak, head priest of Myoda,
    Tatsuma Suguro, is fighting him on his own!
[09:21] ---
    I beg you, send help to defeat the Impure King!
[09:27] ---
    H-How can you even ask that?
[09:29] ---
    You resurrected him yourself!
[09:31] ---
    - For one thing, what is the Impure King?
    - Defeat him how?
[09:35] ---
    This isn't the time to be arguing
    amongst ourselves!
[09:38] ---
    All exorcist teams, as well as
    security teams 1 and 2 and Deep Keep team 1,
[09:43] ---
    will deploy to subdue the Impure King!
[09:45] ---
    The Impure King is kin to the King of Rot.
[09:48] ---
    All personnel,
    get vaccinated to counter the miasma!
[09:51] ---
    - Prepare to administer vaccines!
    - Yes sir!
[09:55] ---
    Mamushi!
[09:58] ---
    M-Master Ryuji!
[10:00] ---
    Your right eye!
[10:02] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:05] ---
    Save him. Please save the Master!
[10:11] ---
    Bon. I'll take her to the infirmary.
[10:15] ---
    Juzo, what about you?
[10:17] ---
    I'll meet up with team 1 afterwards.
[10:20] ---
    You and the other cram school students
    go straight to the inn.
[10:23] ---
    Renzo! Koneko! Keep Bon safe!
[10:26] ---
    If anything happens to him,
    you're dead meat!
[10:29] ---
    Sure thing. We've got it covered.
[10:33] ---
    Forget about me.
[10:35] ---
    Hurry and help the master.
[10:38] ---
    Dummy.
[10:46] ---
    You hurt a girl, Todo!
[10:49] ---
    Bon, it's out of our hands.
[10:51] ---
    You heard what Juzo said.
    We need to go back to the inn.
[10:55] ---
    Oh, there you are! Come here for a sec!
[10:59] ---
    Ms. Kirigakure!
[11:01] ---
    Because of his little flare-up earlier,
    Rin's been sentenced to death.
[11:06] ---
    It's the Vatican's decision.
    It can't be overturned.
[11:10] ---
    And so...
[11:12] ---
    Suguro. I'm giving this to you.
[11:17] ---
    Kurikara!
[11:18] ---
    And this is a letter your father wrote to Rin.
[11:22] ---
    It says that we need Rin's power
    to defeat the Impure King.
[11:26] ---
    Rin was on board with it.
[11:29] ---
    So, will you guys bust him out?
[11:32] ---
    The only way for Rin to avoid execution
    is to do something big and heroic.
[11:37] ---
    Take these camo ponchos.
[11:39] ---
    They ought to keep you hidden.
[11:42] ---
    They should let you get into the cell block
    without being noticed.
[11:45] ---
    Commander Kirigakure! Hurry!
[11:47] ---
    Coming!
[11:49] ---
    You heard him.
    The Order basically has me on a leash.
[11:52] ---
    I can't defy them openly.
[11:54] ---
    I'm counting on you.
    I'll let you decide how to handle it.
[12:10] ---
    We have to help Rin, you guys!
[12:11] ---
    Look, I want to help him
    as much as the next guy,
[12:15] ---
    but doing that means
    getting on the Vatican's bad side.
[12:19] ---
    B-But if we don't help and never see Rin again,
    I know we'll all regret it!
[12:33] ---
    The cell block is this way.
[12:34] ---
    Bon!
[12:35] ---
    Suguro, thank you!
[12:39] ---
    Koneko? You're kidding, right?
[12:42] ---
    Miwa!
[12:43] ---
    I have to keep Bon safe.
[12:45] ---
    Besides, I know I'll regret it if I don't.
[12:51] ---
    What the heck, man?
    You're that scared of Juzo?
[12:58] ---
    - You too, Izumo?
    - Kamiki!
[13:00] ---
    What's gotten into you guys?
[13:04] ---
    - You're gonna die!
    - Outta my way, Renzo!
[13:07] ---
    You babies go night-night back to the inn!
[13:09] ---
    Me, I'm gonna go die valiantly
    as a man of the Myoda!
[13:14] ---
    I don't get it.
[13:16] ---
    All this Myoda and regret stuff...
    I honestly don't get it.
[13:23] ---
    What a hassle!
[13:30] ---
    Ow!
[13:30] ---
    Did you say something?
[13:32] ---
    No, I thought it was you.
[13:34] ---
    I didn't say anything.
    It was you!
[13:37] ---
    Quit messing with me!
[13:40] ---
    That was nerve-racking!
[13:42] ---
    You stepped on my foot, Koneko!
[13:44] ---
    Cut me some slack, Shima.
[13:46] ---
    These ponchos are amazing,
[13:48] ---
    but not being able to see each other
    is a big drawback.
[13:52] ---
    It should be just ahead.
[13:55] ---
    Is that the door?
[14:03] ---
    I am Das stärkste Gefängnis,
    the impenetrable prison!
[14:08] ---
    I cannot be unlocked from within,
    yet I open readily from without!
[14:13] ---
    Now, answer me this!
[14:16] ---
    - What's with the schtick?
    - A demon?
[14:18] ---
    What makes me impenetrable?
[14:21] ---
    Fight me and see for yourselves!
[14:28] ---
    I guess we've got no choice.
[14:39] ---
    The answer is
[14:40] ---
    that if anyone approaches me
    with hostile intent,
[14:44] ---
    I can freeze them in their tracks!
[14:47] ---
    That is where I get my name!
[14:51] ---
    Oh, no.
[14:53] ---
    Wait. Why didn't anything happen to me?
[14:57] ---
    Because you pose no threat!
[14:59] ---
    You're weak and carry no weapons!
[15:04] ---
    I guess without Nii,
    I really am powerless.

[15:10] ---
    But...
[15:12] ---
    If Rin dies...
[15:15] ---
    I won't let that happen!
[15:24] ---
    Your door will open
    from the outside, right?
[15:26] ---
    It will! Though you won't be able to leave.
[15:29] ---
    To help everyone, I have to help Rin!
[15:40] ---
    Where is this place?
[15:43] ---
    No way am I gonna die in a place like this!
[15:50] ---
    I can't die...
[15:57] ---
    Is that really true?
[15:59] ---
    Will you quietly allow yourself
    to be killed by the Order?

[16:01] ---
    Oh, wait, there's also the option
    of taking your own life.

[16:06] ---
    Or better yet, die!
[16:09] ---
    I was saved for a reason,
    so I don't want that to go to waste.

[16:15] ---
    But, maybe...
[16:18] ---
    "The next time I draw this sword,
    what will happen—"

[16:22] ---
    "I might actually hurt someone this time."
[16:26] ---
    ...I really should die?
[16:31] ---
    Do I die without being of use?
[16:35] ---
    I didn't even make up with everybody...
[16:39] ---
    Why was my life even spared?
[16:43] ---
    Old Man, why'd you save me?
[16:48] ---
    Tell me!
[16:52] ---
    Rin!
[16:54] ---
    Shiemi?
[16:58] ---
    Rin!
[17:00] ---
    I'm here to rescue you!
[17:08] ---
    Ms. Kirigakure told us everything!
[17:12] ---
    We'll all help you fight!
[17:15] ---
    So let's get out of here!
[17:21] ---
    Stay away!
[17:24] ---
    What's the matter?
[17:26] ---
    I don't have the confidence
    to control my flames.
[17:32] ---
    All this time,
    I thought I could get by on grit alone.
[17:36] ---
    But that's clearly not gonna cut it anymore.
[17:40] ---
    So maybe I...
[17:44] ---
    Maybe I should just die.
[17:46] ---
    Wh...
[17:47] ---
    What are you saying?
[17:49] ---
    Don't ever say that again!
[17:53] ---
    You wouldn't understand.
[17:56] ---
    And you don't need to.
[17:58] ---
    Stop that! Don't laugh it off
    and push me away!
[18:02] ---
    I... I'm trying to support you!
[18:10] ---
    Just go away! I'm a monster!
[18:20] ---
    Huh? They're not hot.
[18:24] ---
    They're warm!
[18:32] ---
    I'm... so stupid.
[18:37] ---
    I was so focused on my own problems
    that I never really looked at Rin.

[18:43] ---
    Some friend I am!
[18:58] ---
    Rin...
[19:00] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:04] ---
    Don't! You'll—
[19:05] ---
    It's not safe!
[19:08] ---
    I'm perfectly safe.
[19:13] ---
    See? Not a single burn on me!
[19:16] ---
    You did that!
[19:18] ---
    So everything will be fine!
[19:22] ---
    A-Aren't you afraid of me?
[19:26] ---
    Not one bit.
[19:29] ---
    R-Really?
[19:39] ---
    Okumura!
[19:42] ---
    You guys all came to rescue me?
[19:44] ---
    I-I wouldn't like it if you died.
[19:49] ---
    I know you're not a threat,
    so I want to make up with you.
[19:53] ---
    Konekomaru...
[19:54] ---
    Let's get one thing straight:
    I only came because Ms. Kirigakure said to.
[19:59] ---
    Me? I didn't want to come,
    so you should thank me!
[20:03] ---
    Y-You guys...
[20:06] ---
    Anyway, thanks!
[20:10] ---
    Suguro... Sir?
[20:13] ---
    My head wasn't on straight
    when we got into it over my dad.
[20:19] ---
    You're right.
    At least as far as my dad goes.
[20:25] ---
    If you're gonna fight, you'll need this. Take it.
[20:29] ---
    I-I'm sorry for punching you.
[20:33] ---
    I'll show you the way to Kongo-Shinzan.
[20:36] ---
    Then do whatever the hell you want.
    I don't care.
[20:39] ---
    Cause I'll be fighting.
[20:41] ---
    Suguro!
[20:42] ---
    Believe in me!
[20:44] ---
    I can't help that I'm Satan's son,
    but I'll definitely master my flames.
[20:49] ---
    So please... trust me!
[20:52] ---
    I don't give a crap about that!
[20:56] ---
    The reason I'm pissed at you
[20:58] ---
    is because you tried to carry
    that burden all by yourself!
[21:01] ---
    Because you never said anything to us!
[21:04] ---
    Why should I trust a guy like that?
[21:07] ---
    Am I the only one who thought
    we were on the same side?
[21:09] ---
    W-Wait, I never meant it like that!
[21:12] ---
    Hang on, that's your reason?
    That's why you were mad?
[21:17] ---
    That's a new one. Seriously.
[21:19] ---
    Shima...
[21:21] ---
    Suguro...
[21:24] ---
    Okay, I get it now.
[21:27] ---
    In that case, I'll—
[21:29] ---
    Goodness gracious. The stage is set
    and the cast assembled at last.
[21:33] ---
    And now, I'm going to enjoy the spectacle
    of this battle to the fullest.
[21:48] ---
    Listen up.
