[00:06] ---
Oh, dear.
[00:13] ---
Would you hand out
these demon-warding masks to everyone?
[00:17] ---
Miasma from the mountain
might come our direction.
[00:21] ---
Y-Yes, ma'am.
[00:30] ---
Tatsuma...
[00:36] ---
For now, can you kids
look for Head Priest Tatsuma?
[00:41] ---
Has something happened to Dad?
[00:43] ---
We're not sure if he's still alive.
He's probably still up on the mountain.
[00:49] ---
Dad...
SIGN Episode 8: From Father to Son
[02:28] ---
Yukio. I'm apologizing in advance, so, sorry.
[02:32] ---
It's too late for apologies.
[02:35] ---
I gave up on you a long time ago.
[02:39] ---
Yukio.
[02:40] ---
At least be honest with yourself.
[02:43] ---
Commander Kirigakure!
[02:45] ---
The director is asking for you!
[02:46] ---
Sure thing! Lead the way!
[02:51] ---
Deep down, everyone is afraid.
[02:54] ---
This will be the first time
we've fought a demon this big.
[02:57] ---
Oh, you get used to the size after a while.
[03:00] ---
Just what I'd expect to hear from
a Senior Exorcist First Class from Vatican HQ!
[03:04] ---
I feel better already!
[03:06] ---
But I gotta be honest, I've never seen
a monster this big in my life.
[03:11] ---
Bring more! We d more kindling!
[03:14] ---
What do you plan to do?
[03:16] ---
We're preparing to summon Ucchusma,
the vajra which purifies the unclean.
[03:21] ---
To summon Ucchusma, the chanting
of at least ten senior-level Tamers is required.
[03:27] ---
I would like you to assist
in the summoning.
[03:31] ---
The Impure King is kin to the King of Rot.
[03:33] ---
In other words, its weakness will be fire,
according to the table of demonic elements.
[03:37] ---
Ucchusma is our trump card, the most powerful
fire-attribute demon we're able to summon.
[03:43] ---
Ucchusma... An Agni, huh?
[03:46] ---
You're right, I'd feel much better
if we had him on our side. Okay, then.
[03:53] ---
Om!
[04:11] ---
Oh?
[04:13] ---
I am called Ucchusma,
and I serve ten priests of the Myo-O Dharani.
[04:20] ---
If you desire my aid,
provide me with proof of your blood.
[04:24] ---
The priest bloodline has been reduced
in number over the last 150 years.
[04:29] ---
We have but five priests gathered here.
[04:32] ---
Five is insufficient!
[04:36] ---
However, it would be undesirable
to allow the Impure King to corrupt this land,
[04:41] ---
so I shall grant you aid commensurate
with the blood of five.
[04:49] ---
Our k'riks!
[04:51] ---
This'll be plenty!
[04:52] ---
Impure King or Filthy King or whatever,
ol' Kinzo is gonna sterilize his ass!
[04:58] ---
Team 1, follow me!
[05:00] ---
Yes, sir!
[05:01] ---
All Dragoons, take up your positions
with your flamethrowers!
[05:04] ---
Yes, sir!
[05:08] ---
Come forth, Salamander!
[05:12] ---
Luckily, the target is stationary,
but it's steadily growing larger!
[05:16] ---
Use your salamanders
to ignite those large fungal masses
[05:19] ---
and begin to advance inwards bit by bit!
[05:21] ---
- Understood?
- Yes, sir!
[05:23] ---
Attack!
[05:36] ---
Wait! Over there!
[05:38] ---
Dad!
[05:43] ---
N-No.
[05:45] ---
I-I'll call Ms. Kirigakure!
[05:57] ---
I am called Karura,
and I serve the head priest of Myo-O Dharani.
[06:01] ---
Karura?
[06:03] ---
Y-You're my dad's familiar?
[06:05] ---
I was, but when my secret was revealed,
it voided our pact.
[06:10] ---
At the moment, a personal pact
with Tatsuma Suguro is in effect.
[06:16] ---
I...
[06:17] ---
D-Dad!
[06:20] ---
Ryuji. What are you doing here?
[06:24] ---
To save you!
[06:26] ---
What a foolish thing to do.
[06:29] ---
I healed your wounds,
but you shouldn't move yet, Tatsuma.
[06:33] ---
Karura? You got tiny.
[06:37] ---
I thought you and I were both dead.
[06:41] ---
I am also known as the Phoenix.
I am reborn again and again.
[06:46] ---
Besides, my pact with you for the Gouha-en
is still in effect. I won't let you die.
[06:53] ---
Rin! Are you here because
you read my letter?
[06:59] ---
- I read it, too.
- What?
[07:01] ---
Everybody here came because
they understand the basic situation.
[07:05] ---
You're gonna tell us everything,
secrets and all.
[07:11] ---
Very well. I'll tell you how
to defeat the Impure King.
[07:16] ---
According to the true "On the Impure King,"
known only to the head priests,
[07:20] ---
the Impure King will steadily grow larger.
[07:23] ---
Eventually, it will reach the size of a castle,
[07:26] ---
and before long,
a sporangium will form at its core.
[07:31] ---
Sporangium? You mean that thing?
[07:33] ---
That curly thing at the top?
[07:35] ---
I expect so.
[07:37] ---
That sporangium will burst when it matures,
releasing a dense cloud of toxic spores.
[07:42] ---
This is the miasma it gives off.
[07:45] ---
It was this mature sporangium
that killed 40,000 people 150 years ago.
[07:51] ---
In modern-day Kyoto,
the death toll would be much worse!
[07:56] ---
We must prevent that, no matter what.
[07:58] ---
So you're saying we need to beat him
before the sporangium can burst?
[08:02] ---
It's not that simple.
[08:05] ---
Impure King Internal Organ Diagram
Pericardium / Toxin / Cyst
[08:05] ---
The Impure King's only apparent weak spot,
his heart, is located inside the sporangium.
[08:11] ---
When Fukaku fought the Impure King,
after a tough battle with the unknown creature,
[08:16] ---
all he could do was cleave its heart in two
and seal it away.
[08:21] ---
Oh, so those must be the Impure King's
left and right "eyes."
[08:24] ---
S-So if we don't split the sporangium first,
we can't get at his heart?
[08:30] ---
- That's right.
- That makes things tricky.
[08:33] ---
I made a promise with Karura
15 years ago to borrow his Gouha-en.
[08:38] ---
The Gouha-en is a spell
that converts a person's lifespan into flame.
[08:43] ---
It's triggered at the end of the person's life,
setting off an all-consuming conflagration.
[08:48] ---
My intent was to keep that as my trump card
to defeat the Impure King.
[08:53] ---
However, I used the flame I had stored up
to halt the Impure King's advance.
[08:58] ---
I don't have much flame left.
[09:02] ---
I'll use my remaining Gouha-en
to create a barrier
[09:05] ---
that will prevent the miasma from getting out
even if the sporangium bursts.
[09:10] ---
Rin, I want you to use the Koma Sword
to obliterate the Impure King's heart!
[09:18] ---
I'm sorry. I...
[09:23] ---
That's all right, I don't blame you.
After all, I'm asking you to risk your life.
[09:28] ---
No, I meant...
[09:30] ---
I can't draw the sword right now.
[09:35] ---
I've been trying and trying,
but I can't get the damn thing out!
[09:38] ---
Why the hell not?
[09:39] ---
I don't know,
I think it's some kind of mental block!
[09:43] ---
Can that happen?
[09:44] ---
Even I get worried sometimes, too!
But it means I can't be of any use to you now.
[09:49] ---
I'm really sorry, Suguro's dad!
[09:52] ---
Oh, I see.
[09:54] ---
But if that's the case,
I have to at least cast the barrier myself.
[10:00] ---
You mustn't, Tatsuma.
You've lost too much blood.
[10:04] ---
I'm fine!
[10:06] ---
Master!
[10:07] ---
I healed your wounds,
but you nearly bled to death.
[10:11] ---
If you attempt to cast a barrier spell
in your condition, you will surely die.
[10:16] ---
It only has to last for a little bit.
This is more important than my life!
[10:23] ---
Konekomaru, have you gotten through
to Ms. Kirigakure yet?
[10:27] ---
I keep trying, but I only get static!
[10:29] ---
The miasma might be too thick.
[10:32] ---
Dad! Isn't there anything we can do?
[10:36] ---
Oh? You're Tatsuma's child. Perfect.
[10:41] ---
The Gouha-en can be transferred
to another of the same bloodline.
[10:46] ---
I forbid it! Anything but that!
[10:48] ---
You're still a child!
I won't let you drag Ryuji into this!
[10:53] ---
I swore that this would end with me,
even if it costs me my life!
[10:58] ---
Anything but that.
[11:00] ---
Oh, I get it now.
[11:02] ---
This is why.
[11:05] ---
It's a secret.
[11:07] ---
I can't tell this secret to anyone.
Not even to my own son.
[11:13] ---
I forbid it.
[11:14] ---
I told you before! You're free to do
what you want with your life!
[11:18] ---
All this time, you've pushed me away
to bear this by yourself.
[11:25] ---
No, I did this by choice.
[11:30] ---
To hell with that! I'll bear it with you!
[11:35] ---
And you're in no shape to tell me otherwise!
[11:38] ---
Tatsuma. Your son is being
more rational than you are.
[11:44] ---
Maybe so, but Ryuji was the last person
I wanted to get involved in this.
[11:51] ---
In that case, I shall commence
the Gouha-en transference.
[11:54] ---
Prove that you are of the blood
of Tatsuma Suguro, the current owner.
[12:03] ---
You are indeed of Tatsuma Suguro's blood.
[12:07] ---
Ryuji Suguro. You now possess the Gouha-en.
[12:11] ---
Red flames!
[12:13] ---
Ryuji, I'll show you our strongest barrier spell,
known only to the head priest.
[12:18] ---
Come closer.
[12:20] ---
It involves mudra gestures
that will be unfamiliar to you.
[12:24] ---
Pay close attention
to how they're formed, too.
[12:27] ---
I can only do this once,
so watch, listen and memorize.
[12:31] ---
First, we form the mudra for earth binding.
[12:39] ---
Ryuji!
[12:41] ---
Haven't I told you not to come here?
[12:45] ---
What am I going to do with you?
Fine, come in.
[12:57] ---
And finally, we touch the ground
while making the Earth-touching mudra.
[13:00] ---
That will complete the barr—
[13:02] ---
Dad!
[13:06] ---
Moriyama and Kamiki!
[13:08] ---
Would you stay here and look after my dad?
[13:11] ---
- O-Okay!
- Sure.
[13:13] ---
Shima! Konekomaru!
[13:15] ---
You two go tell Ms. Kirigakure
and the Myoda teams everything we learned.
[13:19] ---
What about you?
[13:20] ---
I'm gonna go put up that barrier.
[13:23] ---
It radiates out from the earth-touching mudra.
[13:26] ---
So it has to be set up as close as possible
to the sporangium.
[13:29] ---
Are you saying you're going there?
That's crazy!
[13:32] ---
Bon, I've kept quiet and obeyed you
like my parents pestered me to,
[13:37] ---
but this is a special situation,
so I'll speak my mind just this once.
[13:41] ---
I mean it, you're gonna die.
[13:43] ---
It'll be okay. I'll keep him safe.
[13:48] ---
C'mon, I might not be able to draw my sword,
but I can kinda-sorta use my flames now!
[13:51] ---
Plus, I'm super strong!
[13:54] ---
Will you leave it to me, Konekomaru?
[14:00] ---
What about me?
[14:01] ---
Koneko!
[14:03] ---
You guys are all nuts!
Don't come crying to me later, you hear?
[14:08] ---
Let's get moving, too.
[14:11] ---
Sure.
[14:12] ---
Be careful!
[14:16] ---
I'm so sorry.
[14:18] ---
Ryuji, forgive this worthless father of yours.
[14:26] ---
I always loved listening to you chant the sutras.
[14:32] ---
So you better not die on me.
[14:47] ---
Focus your fire on the areas
that are growing the fastest!
[14:50] ---
Force it back no matter what!
[14:55] ---
Salamander!
[15:06] ---
Are you all right? Fall back for now!
[15:09] ---
Thanks.
[15:11] ---
It's strange.
[15:13] ---
It's as if the noises around me
are coming from a million miles away.
[15:17] ---
Like none of this is real.
[15:19] ---
Yukio. Be honest with yourself.
[15:34] ---
Saburota Todo?
[15:36] ---
No, he's too young.
[15:39] ---
What are those flames?
[15:41] ---
What should I do? Go get backup? Or...
[15:45] ---
Hello. I know you're there.
[15:48] ---
It's no use hiding.
Come on out, Yukio Okumura!
[15:55] ---
Where did he get such power?
[15:58] ---
Thank you for indulging me.
[16:00] ---
Are you really Saburota Todo?
Why do you look like that? And—
[16:05] ---
Oh, that's right!
[16:08] ---
I'm Todo!
[16:09] ---
The demon I'd been using for strength
had grown old and worn-out.
[16:13] ---
So I upgraded to a higher-end demon!
To become even stronger, you see.
[16:18] ---
He exchanged demons?
Is that even possible for an ordinary human?
[16:22] ---
What the hell are you?
[16:24] ---
Actually, would you mind
playing with me a bit instead?
[16:29] ---
And besides, I wanted to have
a chat with you anyway.
[16:33] ---
Why don't I break the ice
with some pleasant small talk?
[16:36] ---
Let's see...
[16:38] ---
How's your brother doing?
[16:44] ---
Oh, my. No reply?
[16:46] ---
I think that's a fairly easy question to answer.
[16:50] ---
Now, what do you say when someone asks,
"How is your brother?"
[16:57] ---
What is that?
[17:00] ---
It's starting to look like a regular building!
[17:03] ---
Crap, this might get ugly
if we don't work fast!
[17:06] ---
We have to hurry!
[17:08] ---
Rin!
[17:09] ---
- Kuro?
- Rin, run!
[17:11] ---
It's dangerous here!
[17:13] ---
This mountain's possessed
by a mountain demon monster!
[17:15] ---
And it smells so bad!
[17:17] ---
Mountain demon?
You mean the Impure King?
[17:19] ---
We know about him, but we can't run.
[17:22] ---
We have to climb up to the top of this thing
if we're gonna defeat it.
[17:25] ---
What? That's crazy!
This thing isn't gonna listen to reason!
[17:29] ---
Somebody has to,
or we're all in trouble!
[17:31] ---
You're being stupid, Rin!
[17:34] ---
It's not safe, so I'll take you!
[17:37] ---
Really? Kuro, you're the best!
[17:40] ---
Suguro, let's climb on!
[17:43] ---
Climb on?
[17:44] ---
Koneko! Koneko, wait up!
[17:48] ---
Wait, Koneko!
[17:50] ---
If you want to leave, go ahead and leave!
[17:53] ---
Not that! Look!
[17:55] ---
It's a part of the Impure King!
[17:57] ---
W-Was this the only path back?
[18:00] ---
This is the only path I know
back to the main temple. What now?
[18:05] ---
Seriously?
[18:10] ---
Master!
[18:12] ---
That's medicinal tea, isn't it?
Isn't it working?
[18:16] ---
The miasma that the Impure King is giving off
might be too strong.
[18:19] ---
And his immune system has been weakened
from all the blood he lost.
[18:23] ---
I wish I could summon Nee.
[18:25] ---
He could give me powerful medicinal herbs
good as a talisman or for blood loss.
[18:30] ---
That kind of talk won't help him.
[18:33] ---
We'll go down the mountain
and take him to a hospital!
[18:36] ---
He was left in our care,
so he's our responsibility!
[18:44] ---
The Impure King is one of the four pets
that always attended to the King of Rot.
[18:49] ---
It has no brain, but the damage it could inflict
on Assiah is probably natural disaster-class.
[18:54] ---
Can it be stopped by those humans
scurrying about like ants down there?
[19:05] ---
A nasty storm is starting to brew.
[19:14] ---
Oh, my! You look angry. What's the matter?
Has something happened to your brother?
[19:19] ---
That's none of your business!
[19:22] ---
You have a strong sense of family obligation.
[19:26] ---
Night and day, you're shackled
by your family, aren't you?
[19:31] ---
I understand that.
[19:35] ---
Because I used to be the same way.
[19:39] ---
Given my current condition,
those memories keep popping up!
[19:44] ---
Damn, he's toying with me!
We're leagues apart!
[19:47] ---
If this keeps up, he'll toy with me to death!
Don't I have something? Anything?
[19:56] ---
Oh?
[19:58] ---
This actually hurts.
[20:00] ---
These must be magic bullets
that were blessed by a naiad.
[20:03] ---
So, water-attribute bullets effect me
since I'm fire-attribute now, eh?
[20:08] ---
How illuminating.
[20:10] ---
But using little bullets like these on me now
is like flicking water on a hot stone.
[20:18] ---
Whoa!
[20:19] ---
That reminds me,
you wanted to be a doctor, didn't you?
[20:22] ---
You went to an advanced placement program
for high school, yes?
[20:25] ---
Your father had a medical license, too, didn't he?
[20:28] ---
It must have been difficult to get your
Doctor and Dragoon Meisters at your age.
[20:33] ---
Those are both Meisters
that your father excelled in.
[20:36] ---
I expect you'll follow in his footsteps
and get all four Meisters eventually.
[20:41] ---
After all, you're so gifted, you took over
the Anti-Demon Pharmaceutics class
[20:45] ---
at Exorcism Cram School
from your late father.
[20:47] ---
Your life is a carbon copy of your father's.
[20:52] ---
But the father who guided you is dead.
[20:56] ---
All you have now is your dear big brother.
[20:59] ---
If he were to die,
what would you have left?
[21:05] ---
Shut up!
[21:06] ---
Your life is spent following the path
laid out for you by your father.
[21:15] ---
Yukio... why don't you join me in the battle?
[21:20] ---
Wouldn't you rather become strong
and protect Rin and other people,
[21:24] ---
than sit trembling in the darkness forever?
[21:27] ---
Me? Protect Rin?
[21:29] ---
I can do that?
[21:33] ---
Your father always gave your brother
special treatment.
[21:37] ---
But what about you?
[21:39] ---
I bet it was nothing but strict discipline
since childhood to make you into an Exorcist.
[21:45] ---
You're sure you aren't a useful tool
he raised specifically to protect your brother?
[21:50] ---
You're wrong!
[21:51] ---
I chose this path of my own free will!
[21:53] ---
My father and brother
have nothing to do with it!
[21:56] ---
You're firing wildly now.
At least your heart is being honest.
[22:01] ---
It's only natural.
[22:03] ---
You must've asked yourself again and again
why you're forced to do this for your brother.
[22:09] ---
Even though that brother has no inkling
of the hardships you've endured.
[22:14] ---
You've thought, "This isn't fair!"
[22:16] ---
or, "I can't take this injustice anymore!"
[22:21] ---
The truth is, you absolutely despise
your brother, don't you?
[23:57] ---
