EPISODE 8:
DETERMINATION
**[01:45] ---**
Commander, everyone above
the grade of Adeptus Minor is here.
**[01:53] ---**
I seem to have been asleep all day.
**[01:58] ---**
I have caused you all much worry.
**[02:01] ---**
I am truly sorry for that.
**[02:09] ---**
So unbelievably beautiful!
**[02:12] ---**
How you resemble
the shimmering stars in the sky!
**[02:16] ---**
Gedoin...
**[02:18] ---**
I believe this is the first time we've met.
**[02:23] ---**
Should my physical body
become disengaged from this apparatus...
**[02:27] ---**
it will disintegrate
in the blink of an eye.
**[02:30] ---**
Being able to show you my face
even if for a fleeting moment...
**[02:35] ---**
is all due to your efforts.
**[02:39] ---**
I am deeply grateful.
**[02:42] ---**
I am not worthy of such praise!
**[02:44] ---**
How are things proceeding?
Is everything progressing smoothly?
**[02:47] ---**
Y-Yes, sir! Of course they are!
**[02:50] ---**
We have just concluded
Izumo Kamiki's physical examination!
**[02:54] ---**
She's exceedingly compatible with Nine Tails!
**[02:56] ---**
After this, I will begin the process...
**[02:58] ---**
of transplanting Nine Tails from Tamamo's
deteriorating body into Izumo right away!
**[03:02] ---**
I am glad to hear that.
**[03:05] ---**
Tamamo Kamiki is the material
that produced Chosen Ones like Todo.
**[03:11] ---**
I am sure that you'll make
even more strides in your research.
**[03:14] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[03:16] ---**
You can count on me!
**[03:18] ---**
And... a-actually, I have
one more piece of good news for you.
**[03:24] ---**
I have captured Lord Satan's spawn
who I believe was sent...
**[03:28] ---**
by the True Cross Order as an assassin...
**[03:31] ---**
as well as his younger brother!
**[03:34] ---**
The Okumura Brothers are here?
**[03:36] ---**
Yes!
**[03:39] ---**
*Are you stunned, you nasty sow?*
**[03:42] ---**
Yes, I did sense that.
**[03:45] ---**
Y-Y-You're already aware of that?
**[03:47] ---**
How impressive!
**[03:49] ---**
What would you have me do?
Shall I kill them?
**[03:54] ---**
No.
**[03:55] ---**
As far as Rin Okumura is concerned,
please leave him be.
**[03:59] ---**
I will return him to Samael myself.
**[04:02] ---**
But why would you do that?
**[04:03] ---**
Lord Satan's spawn
is the True Cross Order's best weapon!
**[04:06] ---**
He's highly likely to become
a hindrance to our plan!
**[04:10] ---**
I agree.
**[04:12] ---**
But he also belongs to our god, my father.
**[04:16] ---**
I cannot act without his permission.
**[04:19] ---**
Then, if we're not killing him, let us incarcerate him,
keep logs on what we observe of him, and study—
**[04:24] ---**
- Dr. Gedoin...
- Huh?
**[04:26] ---**
The Commander has said
that he will return him.
**[04:30] ---**
That said...
**[04:31] ---**
I will consider how to deal
with Yukio Okumura later.
**[04:35] ---**
Since Todo mentioned
something somewhat interesting.
**[04:38] ---**
But... Lord Satan's spawn...
**[04:41] ---**
If push comes to shove,
I will have no choice but to take action,
**[04:44] ---**
knowing that Father will reproach me.
**[04:47] ---**
Because no one but I
can kill Rin Okumura for sure.
**[04:52] ---**
With all due respect, Commander, that declaration
of war the other day has already exhausted you.
**[04:57] ---**
Please leave this to us, your bodyguards.
If we were to go all in, I believe we'd have a chance.
**[05:02] ---**
*You're just going to
steal my thunder, right?*
**[05:05] ---**
*Dammit!*
**[05:07] ---**
Perhaps I should.
**[05:09] ---**
Oh.
**[05:10] ---**
That young man there is...
**[05:12] ---**
Renzo Shima.
**[05:13] ---**
A newcomer to the Guard
that I just summoned back from spy duty.
**[05:18] ---**
Ah.
**[05:20] ---**
You're the wielder of the black flames, then?
**[05:23] ---**
Yes! That is correct!
**[05:25] ---**
I am pleased to make your acquaintance!
**[05:27] ---**
I'd like to hear your opinion.
**[05:30] ---**
Do you think that we have
a chance of defeating Rin Okumura?
**[05:33] ---**
Well, let's see.
**[05:35] ---**
I'd say that rather than you
taking matters into your own hands...
**[05:38] ---**
the Guard might actually have
a better chance.
**[05:41] ---**
And even then, the odds
would be fifty-fifty.
**[05:44] ---**
Ah... And why is that?
**[05:47] ---**
Because I believe that his soft heart
is both Okumura's strength and his weakness.
**[05:53] ---**
Since the Guard is mainly made up of humans,
**[05:56] ---**
I'd think it would be easier for us
to create an opportunity.
**[06:01] ---**
Soft heart...
**[06:07] ---**
I'd like to see how that unfolds.
**[06:10] ---**
If it comes to it, I will leave it to the Guard.
**[06:14] ---**
Commander!
**[06:16] ---**
This meeting is over!
**[06:16] ---**
Oh! Lord Lucifer...
**[06:19] ---**
Ge...
**[06:20] ---**
doin...
**[06:22] ---**
Y-Yes?
**[06:23] ---**
Everything rests...
**[06:26] ---**
on the success of your Elixir research.
**[06:31] ---**
I want to...
**[06:33] ---**
offer Father...
**[06:35] ---**
a beautiful...
**[06:37] ---**
and perfect...
**[06:40] ---**
physical body.
**[06:44] ---**
Without fail! I swear!
**[06:46] ---**
- Shima!
- Yes, ma'am!
**[06:47] ---**
Stay with Dr. Gedoin
and give him any help he needs!
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[06:52] ---**
Bring Tamamo and Izumo
to my panopticon!
**[06:56] ---**
We're going to start the transplant—
**[06:57] ---**
Dr. Gedoin!
**[06:58] ---**
What is it? I'm busy!
**[07:00] ---**
I have the results of Izumo Kamiki's
physical exam!
**[07:03] ---**
P-Please look at this.
**[07:10] ---**
Transplant compatibility 0.08%?
**[07:14] ---**
Far from being compatible
with Nine Tails...
**[07:16] ---**
the odds are 99.92%
that she'll die instantly!
**[07:20] ---**
Didn't the test from a year ago
say she was 87%?
**[07:24] ---**
It's a mistake! Do the test over!
**[07:27] ---**
We ran it 20 times,
and the result was always the same!
**[07:30] ---**
We have to cancel the procedure
and come up with a new plan!
**[07:33] ---**
What the hell
are you talking about, moron?
**[07:34] ---**
I-If we quit now, how am I
going to explain it to Lord Lucifer?
**[07:37] ---**
We're doing it, all right?
**[07:38] ---**
We're betting on that 0.08% and doing it!
**[07:41] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[07:48] ---**
But...
**[07:49] ---**
what... what... what...
what am I going to do if we fail?
**[07:52] ---**
It will destroy me!
**[07:53] ---**
What the hell am I gonna do?
**[07:56] ---**
I know.
**[07:59] ---**
All I have to do is kill Rin Okumura!
**[08:02] ---**
Huh?
**[08:03] ---**
What? Are you serious?
**[08:07] ---**
It's simple. I'll just say
that he suddenly went berserk.
**[08:11] ---**
And then this is what I'll report.
**[08:13] ---**
GEDOIN
**[08:14] ---**
*Disobeying your order
was the hardest decision of my life.*
**[08:19] ---**
*I am prepared to accept any punishment.*
**[08:26] ---**
GEDOIN
**[08:29] ---**
*You've done nothing wrong.*
**[08:31] ---**
*In fact, you're a hero.*
**[08:35] ---**
*L-Lord Lucifer!*
**[08:36] ---**
GEDOIN'S FANTASY
**[08:39] ---**
That's it!
**[08:41] ---**
What? Then, should I contact my captain?
**[08:44] ---**
Don't do that! If I ask for that sow's help,
it will ruin everything!
**[08:47] ---**
Even I have my own forces, you know!
**[08:59] ---**
All righty...
**[09:07] ---**
Now go on and feed my pets...
**[09:10] ---**
you cursed scraps, you!
**[09:21] ---**
Eat...
**[09:23] ---**
Eat this?
**[09:26] ---**
What the hell is this?
**[09:29] ---**
Th-This is a Zombie, too?
**[09:32] ---**
Damn!
**[09:35] ---**
Meat...
**[09:37] ---**
*What kind of Zombie is this?
It's like a chimera!*
**[09:41] ---**
*We can't worry about whether
they're humans or demons now, Rin!*
**[09:45] ---**
*Fight!*
**[09:46] ---**
Stay away!
**[09:48] ---**
Don't mess with me!
**[09:50] ---**
P-Please stay away from me!
**[09:51] ---**
Stay away!
**[09:57] ---**
It's regenerating!
**[09:59] ---**
No wonder we can't kill them no matter
how many times we destroy their brain stems!
**[10:04] ---**
This is no ordinary Zombie!
**[10:06] ---**
It's truly undead!
**[10:09] ---**
Th-Th-There's no way I can handle it alone!
**[10:12] ---**
No way!
**[10:26] ---**
*No!*
**[10:27] ---**
*I don't want to die like this!*
**[10:29] ---**
*I mean, rescuing Ms. Kamiki
or bringing Shima back...*
**[10:34] ---**
*Those are all things that only
certain hero types are supposed to do!*
**[10:39] ---**
*A mere minor character
like me has no chance!*
**[10:43] ---**
*If I'm just going to get devoured and die...*
**[10:47] ---**
*You sure are observant of your surroundings.*
**[10:50] ---**
*Maybe you should be an advisor.*
**[10:59] ---**
*Bon! You guys!*
**[11:01] ---**
*Sorry! I lost my cool!*
**[11:03] ---**
*Sorry!*
**[11:09] ---**
*Calm down! I...*
**[11:12] ---**
*I made up my mind
to trust my own eyes!*
**[11:24] ---**
*I just have to do what I can!*
**[11:29] ---**
*I'm the hero of this battle!*
**[11:35] ---**
*It regenerated
while it was absorbing my vajra!*
**[11:38] ---**
*It's all right!*
**[11:40] ---**
*Calm yourself down!*
**[11:41] ---**
*If you observe your surroundings calmly—*
**[11:48] ---**
*There has to be a way!*
**[11:53] ---**
*Could that be?*
**[11:55] ---**
H-Hey, there!
**[11:57] ---**
This way!
**[12:07] ---**
*It opened up!*
**[12:25] ---**
*I'm really hungry!*
**[12:28] ---**
Kuro! Save me!
**[12:33] ---**
*Take that!*
**[12:35] ---**
*I finally found one of you!*
**[12:40] ---**
*Where'd everyone go?*
**[12:41] ---**
Thank you so much, Kuro!
**[12:43] ---**
I owe you my life!
**[12:45] ---**
*I'm so hungry, I want to cry, too.*
**[12:48] ---**
Don't tell me they're all
battling down there!
**[12:52] ---**
We've got to save them now!
**[12:54] ---**
It won't go away!
**[12:55] ---**
*I'm so hungry right now,
it's making me irritable!*
**[12:59] ---**
*I'm so hungry, I can't stand it!*
**[13:01] ---**
*Go get Rin and the others now!
Shiny-smooth Baldy!*
**[13:04] ---**
*K-Kuro...*
**[13:06] ---**
*You're giving me a chance
to flee while you fight!*
**[13:11] ---**
Thanks, Kuro!
**[13:12] ---**
*What's up with that?*
**[13:18] ---**
*Gunshots!*
**[13:19] ---**
*Hurry!*
**[13:22] ---**
Mr. Okumura!
**[13:24] ---**
Good for you for getting out of there!
**[13:25] ---**
Did you bring down the Zombies?
**[13:27] ---**
I sewed them to the floor.
**[13:29] ---**
Several of them have turned into chimeras.
**[13:31] ---**
If they're the result
of extraordinary regenerative power...
**[13:36] ---**
I figured I could stitch them down if I fastened them
to the floor and destroyed their bodies.
**[13:40] ---**
I'm impressed, Mr. Okumura!
**[13:42] ---**
Bravo!
**[13:43] ---**
You, too, Miwa!
**[13:45] ---**
To be honest, I'd underestimated you.
**[13:48] ---**
Bravo!
**[13:51] ---**
I'll escape from here on my own.
**[13:53] ---**
Miwa, you go help the others!
**[13:54] ---**
U-Understood!
**[14:06] ---**
Sh-Shima...
**[14:21] ---**
Nee!
**[14:23] ---**
What a surprise!
**[14:26] ---**
What?
**[14:27] ---**
Nee!
**[14:31] ---**
Hah. This is perfect.
**[14:36] ---**
*If you're an aspiring Aria, the weapon
you can't do without is a bazooka.*
**[14:40] ---**
*Ever since I decided
to become an exorcist,*
**[14:43] ---**
*I also made up my mind
to train as a Dragoon!*
**[14:52] ---**
Eat my bazooka!
**[14:55] ---**
*Bodhi!*
**[15:03] ---**
Damn, no good, huh?
**[15:06] ---**
*If you're an Aria and a Dragoon,
wouldn't it break your focus during Fatal Verses?*
**[15:10] ---**
*Bon, you've got height, but you're skinny.*
**[15:13] ---**
*If you go around firing a bazooka,
it'll break your body.*
**[15:16] ---**
*I'll build up both my focus and body,
so no problem.*
**[15:21] ---**
*Since then, all I did
day in and day out was train.*
**[15:24] ---**
*Two and a half months
after starting my Dragoon elective...*
**[15:28] ---**
*I finally earned permission
to use it during actual combat.*
**[15:31] ---**
*This is the moment of truth for me!*
**[15:34] ---**
*I can't let that thing walk all over me!*
**[15:39] ---**
I'm going back!
**[15:42] ---**
Going back! Going back!
**[15:44] ---**
Where would you go back to, dumbass?
**[15:46] ---**
I'm going home...
**[15:49] ---**
What?
**[15:50] ---**
Go... back home...
**[15:53] ---**
*You still have the capacity to speak?*
**[15:56] ---**
At the very least, you're no longer
in any shape to live on as a human!
**[16:00] ---**
Just die in peace!
**[16:04] ---**
Going home...
**[16:06] ---**
*Can't talk sense into him, huh?*
**[16:09] ---**
*No, wait, he got mad
because he understood me.*
**[16:12] ---**
*It's sink or swim!*
**[16:15] ---**
Varuna...
**[16:22] ---**
Clear Mirror, Still Water!
**[16:30] ---**
You're never going home!
**[16:51] ---**
Go... home...
**[16:58] ---**
*Bon!*
**[16:59] ---**
*Bon!*
**[17:01] ---**
*Let's head back to the temple!*
**[17:07] ---**
*Everyone's laughing because it's weird
that you all call me "Bon."*
**[17:12] ---**
*Is that right?*
**[17:13] ---**
*Then, should we call you "Lord Ryuji"?*
**[17:16] ---**
*Um... I guess... Bon's fine.*
**[17:20] ---**
*Since you're the one who's going to take charge
of the Myo-o Dharani Sect someday,*
**[17:23] ---**
*you're just as valuable
a hinge as the priest.*
**[17:27] ---**
*What's a hinge?*
**[17:28] ---**
*A hinge is where you hold a fan.*
**[17:32] ---**
*The pins that hold the fan's ribs together.*
**[17:35] ---**
*If those pins are lost,
the whole fan will fall apart.*
**[17:40] ---**
*So, please let us take good care of you.*
**[17:43] ---**
*Okay.*
**[17:44] ---**
*That's why...*
**[17:46] ---**
*I vowed to be that hinge.*
**[17:49] ---**
*To achieve that, I have to work
harder than anyone else.*
**[17:54] ---**
*When I thought that Dad was shirking
his duties at the Myo-o Dharani Sect,*
**[17:57] ---**
*I thought I'd try to fix things.*
**[18:00] ---**
*Proclaim that we're going to bring down
Satan and organize our disciples!*
**[18:03] ---**
*We're going to restore the temple!*
**[18:05] ---**
*But...*
**[18:07] ---**
*You don't have to get all worked up.*
**[18:09] ---**
*Everyone's going to move on anyway.*
**[18:12] ---**
*Just leave it.*
**[18:14] ---**
*Why?*
**[18:16] ---**
*I don't think you have to push yourself
so hard to lead us!*
**[18:21] ---**
*Okay, then. Bye!*
**[18:24] ---**
*They don't need me anymore?*
**[18:28] ---**
*So, what am I supposed to live for now?*
**[18:32] ---**
*Oh, that thing about defeating Satan?*
**[18:36] ---**
*Hah! A joke like that...*
**[18:37] ---**
*What else are we supposed to do but laugh?*
**[18:44] ---**
*So...*
**[18:46] ---**
*it's never going back to the way it was?*
**[18:55] ---**
*Go... home... Go... home...*
**[19:10] ---**
*Namu Amida Butsu.*
**[19:29] ---**
I guess I'm the one
who can never go back again.
**[19:37] ---**
Oh no, one's already escaped.
**[19:41] ---**
Are you sure it's okay
to leave things like this?
**[19:43] ---**
Oh, shut your mouth, brat!
**[19:45] ---**
Please wait just a little longer, Lord Lucifer.
**[19:50] ---**
Well, I don't want
to rock the boat, you know.
**[19:53] ---**
I'm just going to go with the flow.
**[19:59] ---**
Okumura!
**[20:01] ---**
Konekomaru!
**[20:04] ---**
Where are the others?
**[20:05] ---**
Mr. Okumura's safe and sound,
but I don't know about the others!
**[20:08] ---**
Okumura, you defeated it, didn't you?
**[20:11] ---**
Nope.
**[20:12] ---**
I escaped.
**[20:15] ---**
Dammit, you don't know when to give up!
We're out of here, Konekomaru!
**[20:20] ---**
*He still hasn't made up
his mind to fight!*
**[20:22] ---**
Hold up! Do you remember what I said?
**[20:25] ---**
I told you that you were our ace in the hole!
**[20:27] ---**
Fight, will you?
I know that you can save us all!
**[20:31] ---**
Easy enough for you to say.
**[20:33] ---**
For me, knowing whose side I'm on
is what matters!
**[20:37] ---**
I...
**[20:38] ---**
have to be on the side of the humans!
**[20:40] ---**
Otherwise...
**[20:47] ---**
Nee!
**[20:52] ---**
Shiemi!
**[20:53] ---**
Rin! Miwa! Thank goodness!
**[20:55] ---**
Hey, are you all right?
**[20:57] ---**
Yes! Nee rescued me, and then,
I somehow managed to fight!
**[21:01] ---**
I had Mr. Zombie return to dust!
**[21:05] ---**
Nee! Nee!
**[21:08] ---**
W-Wow, look at you!
**[21:09] ---**
Oh, I'm exhausted!
**[21:13] ---**
Shiemi, you...
**[21:14] ---**
Nee!
**[21:15] ---**
Let's save Izumo and Shima
if it's the last thing we do, okay?
**[21:19] ---**
*This girl...*
**[21:22] ---**
First, I'm going to let you all
out of this cage!
**[21:24] ---**
Satan...
**[21:25] ---**
Bomb!
**[21:30] ---**
That you, Okumura?
**[21:37] ---**
You guys!
**[21:38] ---**
I'm glad you're all safe!
**[21:39] ---**
- Yuki!
- You're late!
**[21:40] ---**
Huh?
**[21:41] ---**
Nice to see you, too!
**[21:43] ---**
Bon! Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
**[21:47] ---**
