***SIGN*** One Bowl of Tea on Rice
**[00:08] Naka**
*One bowl of tea on rice...*
**[00:15] Naka**
*Pickled plums, slivered nori,*
**[00:17] Naka**
*and leftover chicken from dinner...*
**[00:20] Naka**
*All doused in piping-hot water,*
**[00:23] Naka**
*then shoveled in with salted kelp...*
**[00:28] Naka**
*That was so good...*
**[00:30] Naka**
* All those bowls of tea on rice I'd sneak*
* into the kitchen to make at the orphanage...*
**[00:40] Naka**
Ow!
**[00:42] Naka**
Damn it...
**[00:43] Naka**
I'm gonna die of hunger.
**[00:48] Naka**
*My name is Atsushi.*
***SIGN*** Episode 1:
Fortune Is Unpredictable
and Mutable
**[00:50] Naka**
* Due to certain circumstances,*
* I'm about to die from starvation.*
**[00:57] Naka**
*After being driven out of the orphanage,*
**[00:59] Naka**
*I had nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep,*
**[01:01] Naka**
* and, as one might expect,*
* not a cent to my name.*
**[01:04] Naka**
*Yet, I lack the courage to commit theft.*
**[01:07] Naka**
* That is how I've arrived at*
* my current predicament...*
**[01:11] Naka**
*However...*
**[01:13] Naka**
*If I wish to live,*
**[01:15] Naka**
* I have no choice but to*
* steal and take from others!*
**[01:18] (Flashback) Man**
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
**[01:20] (Flashback) Man**
No orphanage would welcome the likes of you!
**[01:22] (Flashback) Woman**
The world would be a better place
**[01:24] (Flashback) Woman**
if you'd just die in a ditch somewhere!
**[01:26] Naka**
Shut up...
**[01:28] Naka**
Shut up!
**[01:29] Naka**
Shut up!
**[01:31] Naka**
Shut up!
**[01:35] Naka**
Die in a ditch?
**[01:37] Naka**
I'm not gonna die!
**[01:40] Naka**
I'm gonna live, no matter what it takes!
**[01:42] Naka**
Okay...
**[01:43] Naka**
I'll rush the first person who comes along
**[01:45] Naka**
and rob them of everything they've got!
**[01:52] Naka**
Well, that was mission impossible.
**[01:54] Naka**
I can't catch him on an empty stomach...
**[01:56] Naka**
Next!
**[01:57] Army**
One, two, three, four!
**[02:00] Army**
One, two, three, four!
**[02:02] Naka**
I... I doubt military police'd be
toting their wallets during training.
**[02:06] Naka**
But the next person who
comes along... for sure!
**[02:11] Naka**
I've got this!
**[02:15] Naka**
Well...
**[02:17] Naka**
I can't possibly count him.
**[02:22] Naka**
Y-Yeah, I'll pass, please.
**[02:26] Naka**
I... I'll pass...
**[02:30] Naka**
Fine!
***SIGN*** In the end...
***SIGN*** ...I saved a life?
**[02:50] Naka**
You were floating down the river...
**[02:52] Naka**
Are you okay?
**[02:55] Dazai**
I made it.
**[02:58] Dazai**
Damn.
**[02:59] Naka**
"Damn"?
**[03:01] Naka**
*Did he just say "damn"?*
**[03:03] Dazai**
Are you the one who
interrupted my submersion?
**[03:07] Naka**
I was just trying to help.
**[03:10] Naka**
Huh?
**[03:11] Naka**
Submersion?
***SIGN*** Submersion...
**[03:12] Dazai**
You don't know what I mean by that?
**[03:14] Dazai**
I was trying to commit suicide.
***SIGN*** S-Suicide?!
***SIGN*** ...Suicide?
**[03:18] Dazai**
That's right.
***SIGN*** I was trying to kill myself.
**[03:21] Dazai**
But you just had to interfere...
***SIGN*** Why...
***SIGN*** ...am I being lectured?
***SIGN*** Wait, is he scolding me for saving him?
**[03:28] Dazai**
Still, my priority is to
commit a clean suicide
**[03:30] Dazai**
without being a burden to anyone.
**[03:34] Dazai**
Yet I did trouble you,
**[03:36] Dazai**
so the fault lies with me at this point.
**[03:38] Dazai**
I should apologize in some way.
***SIGN*** Growl
**[03:41] Dazai**
Are you hungry, boy?
**[03:43] Naka**
Well..
**[03:45] Naka**
I haven't eaten in several days.
***SIGN*** Growl
**[03:48] Naka**
Ugh...
**[03:50] Dazai**
How odd.
**[03:51] Dazai**
I'm also hungry.
**[03:53] Naka**
Then...
**[03:54] Dazai**
By the way, the river seems
to have taken my wallet.
**[03:58] Naka**
You've got to be kidding...
**[03:59] Kuni**
There you are, blockhead!
**[04:03] Dazai**
Oh, hey.
**[04:05] Dazai**
Nice work, Kunikida-kun.
**[04:08] Kuni**
Nice work?
**[04:10] Kuni**
And just who caused all this work,
**[04:12] Kuni**
you suicidal maniac?!
**[04:14] Kuni**
I've had enough of you disrupting my schedule!
**[04:16] Dazai**
Oh, right!
**[04:17] Dazai**
I have a great idea.
**[04:19] Dazai**
He's a colleague of mine from work.
**[04:21] Dazai**
Let's have him treat you to a meal.
**[04:23] Kuni**
Are you even listening to me?!
**[04:25] Dazai**
What's your name?
**[04:28] Naka**
Huh?
**[04:29] Naka**
Nakajima... Atsushi.
**[04:31] Dazai**
Well, come along, Atsushi-kun!
**[04:34] Dazai**
What would you like to eat?
**[04:37] Naka**
Um...
**[04:39] Naka**
Well, if it's not too much trouble...
**[04:40] Dazai**
Oh, there's no need to hold back!
**[04:43] Naka**
I'd like to eat tea on rice...
**[04:51] Dazai**
So a boy on the brink of starvation
wants to eat tea on rice?
**[04:54] Dazai**
Very well, let's have Kunikida-kun
treat you to thirty bowls of that!
**[04:59] Kuni**
Don't get all generous with my money, Dazai!
**[05:02] Naka**
Dazai?
**[05:04] Dazai**
Yeah, that's my name.
**[05:14] Dazai**
I am Dazai.
**[05:17] Dazai**
Dazai Osamu.
**[05:28] Kuni**
You're unbelievable.
**[05:31] Kuni**
Who goes "that's a nice river"
**[05:34] Kuni**
and jumps into it in the middle of a job?!
**[05:36] Kuni**
Thanks to you, look!
**[05:38] Kuni**
Look how off-schedule we are now!
**[05:40] Dazai**
You sure like your schedules, Kunikida-kun.
***SIGN*** Ideal
**[05:45] Kuni**
This isn't a schedule!
**[05:47] Kuni**
This is an ideal!
**[05:48] Kuni**
My guide in life!
**[05:51] Kuni**
And nowhere in this book
**[05:52] Kuni**
is it written that my work partner
is a suicidal maniac!
**[05:57] Kuni**
Shut up!
**[05:59] Kuni**
Nowhere on my projected expenses
page will you find written
**[06:01] Kuni**
that I will buy a million bowls of
tea on rice for a snot-nosed brat!
**[06:07] Kuni**
Like I said, it's a job!
**[06:10] Kuni**
Our job today?
**[06:12] Kuni**
It involves the military.
**[06:14] Dazai**
How are you two communicating, actually?
**[06:19] Naka**
I'm so full.
**[06:22] Naka**
I don't want to see another bowl
of this for at least ten years.
**[06:24] Kuni**
Why, you...
**[06:26] Kuni**
How dare you be so shameless
after eating on my dime?
**[06:30] Naka**
You're a real lifesaver.
**[06:33] Naka**
After leaving the orphanage
and coming to Yokohama,
**[06:36] Naka**
I've had nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep.
**[06:39] Naka**
I thought I'd die of starvation.
**[06:40] Dazai**
You're from an orphanage?
**[06:43] Naka**
Putting it one way, yes.
**[06:45] Naka**
But they kicked me out.
**[06:47] Dazai**
That's some non-profit there.
**[06:50] Kuni**
Hey, Dazai!
**[06:51] Kuni**
We're not some philanthropists going around
helping brats down on their luck, okay?
**[06:55] Kuni**
Let's get back to the job at hand.
***SIGN*** Ideal
**[06:56] Naka**
That reminds me, you said earlier that
your current job involves the military.
**[07:01] Naka**
What is your line of work, exactly?
**[07:02] Dazai**
Oh, we're just private investigators.
**[07:06] Naka**
Private investigators...?
**[07:07] Kuni**
That's not to say we only handle lost pets
and alleged extramarital affairs.
**[07:11] Kuni**
Perhaps you've heard of the
Armed Detective Agency,
**[07:13] Kuni**
an organization with individuals
possessing supernatural powers?
**[07:16] Naka**
What?
**[07:19] Naka**
* I've heard of this Armed*
* Detective Agency in rumors...*
**[07:25] Naka**
* Said to be an agency*
* specializing in objectives*
**[07:27] Naka**
* that cannot be entrusted to the*
* likes of the police or the military...*
**[07:30] Naka**
* A twilight armed force positioned*
* between the world of night and day...*
**[07:39] Naka**
* I'm told many from the Agency*
* possess supernatural powers...*
**[07:45] Naka**
*but does that also apply to these two?*
**[07:50] Dazai**
Check out that nice beam up there.
**[07:54] Kuni**
Don't analyze whether you can hang yourself
in a random teahouse we just stumbled into!
**[07:57] Dazai**
Don't get me wrong.
**[07:58] Dazai**
We're talking the hanging health method.
**[08:00] Kuni**
What's that about?
**[08:02] Dazai**
What, you don't know?!
**[08:04] Dazai**
It's so good for shoulder cramps!
**[08:06] Kuni**
What?!
**[08:06] Kuni**
Such a thing exists?!
**[08:08] Dazai**
Hey, write this all down!
**[08:11] Kuni**
Hanging... health... method...
**[08:15] Dazai**
I'm messing with you.
**[08:17] Naka**
* A-Are these two seriously with*
* the Armed Detective Agency?*
**[08:20] Dazai**
My partner gets himself washed up in a river,
**[08:22] Dazai**
and a brat on death's door just
stuffs himself with no shame.
**[08:25] Dazai**
My schedule for the day was just perfect,
**[08:28] Dazai**
but I have to start over from square one!
**[08:28] Naka**
So, about your job today...
**[08:29] Dazai**
I'll ensure that the job will be
completed on schedule, if nothing else!
**[08:32] Kuni**
Yeah?!
**[08:33] Naka**
Sorry, I shouldn't have asked!
**[08:36] Naka**
R-Right, of course your jobs are classified!
**[08:41] Kuni**
Today's job doesn't really require secrecy.
**[08:45] Kuni**
We're looking for a certain
tiger on behest of the military.
**[08:49] Naka**
A tiger?
**[08:50] Dazai**
A man-eater who's recently
appeared in these parts.
**[08:54] Dazai**
Well, not that we know for
sure it's devoured anyone,
**[08:56] Dazai**
but it's ransacked warehouses and
eaten farm produce and the like,
**[08:59] Dazai**
doing whatever it wants.
**[09:01] Dazai**
It's been spotted around here lately.
**[09:06] Dazai**
What's wrong, Atsushi-kun?
**[09:08] Naka**
I... I... I'll be leaving now.
**[09:11] Naka**
G-Good-bye.
**[09:12] Kuni**
Wait, brat!
**[09:15] Kuni**
You know something, don't you?
**[09:21] Naka**
You can't.
**[09:23] Naka**
No one can take it on!
**[09:25] Kuni**
You know the man-eating tiger?
**[09:28] Naka**
It's after me.
**[09:30] Naka**
It almost killed me!
**[09:32] Naka**
If it's been seen around here,
**[09:33] Naka**
I have to run, now!
**[09:39] Kuni**
Hey, brat!
**[09:40] Kuni**
You'll either pay for the food with
your arm or by telling us everything.
**[09:43] Dazai**
Now, now, Kunikida-kun.
**[09:45] Dazai**
Whenever you try to ask questions,
**[09:48] Dazai**
it becomes an interrogation.
**[09:49] Dazai**
The CEO's been talking to you about this.
**[09:53] Dazai**
And...
**[09:55] Dazai**
what do you know about this tiger?
**[09:59] Naka**
My orphanage was trashed by that tiger.
**[10:03] Naka**
It ravaged our fields,
**[10:05] Naka**
it ravaged our chicken coop,
**[10:07] Naka**
and even our warehouse.
**[10:09] Naka**
No one died, sure,
**[10:13] Naka**
but the orphanage was already
on a shoestring budget.
**[10:17] Naka**
I got kicked out so that they
had one less mouth to feed.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Man**
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
**[10:21] (Flashback) Woman**
The world would be a better place if
you'd just die in a ditch somewhere!
**[10:24] (Flashback) Naka**
Why me? I didn't do anything...
**[10:26] (Flashback) Man**
We don't need worthless louts!
**[10:29] (Flashback) Man**
You'll never find a place where you belong!
**[10:33] (Flashback) Man**
Just go! I hope you rot in hell!
**[10:38] Dazai**
Well, that's tragic.
**[10:41] Kuni**
So, boy, what's this talk about
the tiger almost killing you?
**[10:45] Naka**
The man-eater always shows up wherever I go.
**[10:52] Naka**
Just a while ago, when I was
walking around Tsurumi...
**[11:09] Man**
It's a tiger!
**[11:10] Man**
There's a tiger!
**[11:14] Naka**
I'd seen it out of the corner
of my eyes many times,
**[11:17] Naka**
starting two weeks before I was
chased out of the orphanage.
**[11:19] Naka**
I'm sure it's come all the way
to the city in search of me.
**[11:22] Dazai**
When was the last time you saw the tiger?
**[11:27] Naka**
I think I saw it around Tsurumi
**[11:30] Naka**
about four days ago.
**[11:31] Kuni**
It's true that its antics have been
focused here for the past two weeks.
**[11:36] Kuni**
In addition, it was sighted
around Tsurumi four days ago.
**[11:43] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun, are you free?
**[11:46] Naka**
*I have a really bad feeling about this...*
**[11:49] Dazai**
You being the man-eater's target
presents an excellent opportunity.
**[11:53] Naka**
Huh?
**[11:54] Dazai**
Please help us find the tiger.
**[11:56] Naka**
No way!
**[11:57] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun, please go back to the
Agency and give this to the president.
**[12:00] Kuni**
Hey, don't tell me you plan to catch the
tiger all alone with the two of you?
**[12:02] Kuni**
We should first confirm whether
his information is accurate.
**[12:05] Dazai**
It's fine.
**[12:09] Naka**
I'm not doing this, okay?!
**[12:11] Naka**
This means you're going
to use me as bait, right?
**[12:13] Naka**
Who in their right mind would agree to that—
**[12:14] Dazai**
There's a reward.
***SIGN*** Currently penniless.
**[12:17] Naka**
What? Reward?
**[12:19] Naka**
A reward?
**[12:21] Naka**
Nah...
**[12:23] Naka**
You're not gonna tempt me with that!
**[12:25] Naka**
B-But just for reference,
**[12:28] Naka**
how much would the reward be...?
**[12:31] Dazai**
About this much.
**[12:47] Naka**
Dazai-san, what are you reading?
**[12:51] Dazai**
A good book.
**[12:53] Naka**
I'm surprised you can
read when it's this dark.
**[12:55] Dazai**
I have good vision.
***SIGN*** Complete
Guide to Suicide
**[12:57] Dazai**
Besides, I already know everything
that happens in this book.
**[13:01] Naka**
Why are you reading it, then?
**[13:04] Dazai**
A good book is always good, no matter
how many times you've already read it.
**[13:11] Naka**
Will the tiger really show up here?
**[13:14] Dazai**
It will.
**[13:17] Dazai**
Don't worry.
**[13:21] Dazai**
Even if it shows up, it's no match for me.
**[13:25] Dazai**
I may not look like much,
**[13:26] Dazai**
but I am an operative of
the Armed Detective Agency.
**[13:29] Naka**
You're really confident.
**[13:31] Naka**
I'm kind of jealous.
**[13:34] Naka**
They called me a good-for-nothing at the
orphanage as far back as I can remember.
**[13:38] Naka**
And now, I don't even know where I'll sleep tonight
or whether I'll be able to earn my keep tomorrow.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Man**
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
**[13:44] (Flashback) Man**
You'll never find a place where you belong!
**[13:50] Naka**
No one'd care if someone like me
were to die in a ditch somewhere.
**[13:54] Naka**
Yeah, I may be better off eaten by a tiger...
**[14:01] Dazai**
Well, then...
**[14:03] Dazai**
I think it'll be soon.
**[14:05] Naka**
What?!
**[14:08] Naka**
I... I just heard something back there.
**[14:10] Dazai**
Yeah.
**[14:11] Naka**
I bet that's the tiger, Dazai-san!
**[14:13] Dazai**
No, I think the wind just
knocked something down.
**[14:17] Naka**
It's the man-eater!
**[14:18] Naka**
It's come to eat me!
**[14:20] Dazai**
Calm down, Atsushi-kun.
**[14:23] Dazai**
Tigers don't show up from places like that.
**[14:26] Naka**
How do you know for sure?!
**[14:27] Dazai**
Something wasn't quite right to begin with.
**[14:31] Dazai**
Just because their finances went south,
**[14:33] Dazai**
why would an orphanage banish a child?
**[14:37] Dazai**
It's not some farming
village from a bygone era.
**[14:39] Dazai**
Banishing one or two mouths to feed would
hardly put a dent in their deficit.
**[14:45] Dazai**
It'd make more sense to downsize
**[14:47] Dazai**
by transferring half of the kids
to a different orphanage.
**[14:53] Naka**
What are you talking about, Dazai-san?
**[14:57] Dazai**
You came to this city two weeks ago...
**[15:00] Dazai**
The tiger also appeared in
this city two weeks ago.
**[15:05] Dazai**
You were in the Tsurumi area four days ago.
**[15:09] Dazai**
The tiger was also sighted
there four days ago.
**[15:14] Dazai**
Remember what Kunikida-kun said?
**[15:16] Dazai**
The Armed Detective Agency is comprised
of individuals with supernatural powers.
**[15:21] Dazai**
Though not a well-known fact,
**[15:23] Dazai**
there are quite a few individuals who
possess supernatural abilities in this world.
**[15:29] Dazai**
Some use their powers to
achieve great success,
**[15:32] Dazai**
while others fall into ruin as a result
of being unable to control their powers.
**[15:39] Dazai**
I'm guessing that the orphanage
staff knew who the tiger was,
**[15:43] Dazai**
but declined to enlighten you.
**[15:46] Dazai**
You were the only one who remained ignorant.
**[15:48] Dazai**
You also have supernatural powers.
**[15:52] Dazai**
You have the ability to transform
into a wild beast in the moonlight.
**[16:06] Dazai**
This is impressive.
**[16:08] Dazai**
You could easily...
**[16:13] Dazai**
snap a person's neck.
**[16:20] Dazai**
It wouldn't be so bad to meet one's end
**[16:23] Dazai**
being eaten by a beast,
**[16:26] Dazai**
but you can't kill me.
**[16:30] Dazai**
My ability is...
**[16:31] Sign 1633**
No Longer Human
**[16:32] Dazai**
No Longer Human.
**[16:43] Dazai**
My ability allows me to render
any other ability null
**[16:47] Dazai**
through simple touch.
**[17:03] Dazai**
I have no such tastes in men.
***SIGN*** Thud
**[17:07] Kuni**
Hey, Dazai!
**[17:09] Dazai**
Oh, you're late, Kunikida-kun.
**[17:12] Dazai**
I've captured the tiger.
**[17:14] Kuni**
What, it's this boy?
**[17:17] Dazai**
He has the ability to transform into a tiger.
**[17:20] Kuni**
Jeez.
**[17:23] Kuni**
What was with this note?
**[17:25] Dazai**
"A tiger will appear in the warehouse
in the fifteenth district."
**[17:28] Dazai**
"Secure the perimeter so
that it can't get away."
**[17:30] Dazai**
It's an excellent, concise note.
**[17:33] Kuni**
You've left out the most important detail!
**[17:35] Kuni**
Next time, explain in advance.
**[17:37] Kuni**
Thanks to you, I had to bring in
guys who weren't even on call.
**[17:40] Kuni**
Take them out for drinks later.
**[17:42] Kenji**
Hey!
***SIGN*** Yosano Akiko
***SIGN*** Ability:

**[17:47] Yosa**
What, no casualties?
**[17:50] Yosa**
How boring.
***SIGN*** Edogawa Rampo
***SIGN*** Ability:

**[17:52] Rampo**
You've come a long way, Dazai.
**[17:55] Rampo**
Though you still have a ways to go
before you even come close to me.
***SIGN*** Miyazawa Kenji
***SIGN*** Ability: Be Not

**[17:58] Kenji**
But what are we going to do with him?
**[18:02] Kenji**
He didn't know he was doing it, right?
**[18:04] Kuni**
Yeah, you're right.
***SIGN*** Kunikida Doppo
***SIGN*** Ability: Doppo Poet
**[18:07] Kuni**
What do you think, Dazai?
**[18:08] Kuni**
The ward's designated him as a major threat.
***SIGN*** Dazai Osamu
***SIGN*** Ability:

**[18:14] Dazai**
I've already made a decision.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Naka**
They called me a good-for-nothing at the
orphanage as far back as I can remember.
**[18:29] (Flashback) Naka**
And now, I don't even know where I'll sleep tonight
or whether I'll be able to earn my keep tomorrow.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Naka**
No one'd care if someone like me
were to die in a ditch somewhere.
**[18:39] (Flashback) Naka**
Yeah, I may be better
off eaten by a tiger...
**[18:47] Dazai**
We'll make him one of us.
**[18:49] Kenji**
Nice!
**[18:49] Yosa**
Are you serious?
**[18:51] Rampo**
Dazai, you *are* an idiot.
**[18:55] Kuni**
What gives you the right to decide that?
**[18:56] Kenji**
There, there.
**[18:57] Dazai**
Wake up, boy!
**[19:00] Dazai**
* Here, in a city teeming*
* with the supernatural...*
**[19:03] Dazai**
* Here, in a detective agency*
* teeming with eccentrics...*
**[19:07] Dazai**
*A strange tale is about to unfold.*
**[19:10] Dazai**
* This is only a sign of things to come...*
* A premonition, if you will.*
**[19:15] Dazai**
*Now...*
**[19:19] Naka**
Huh?
**[19:24] Naka**
I...
**[19:26] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun.
**[19:28] Dazai**
Do you remember nothing at all
from when you were transformed?
**[19:32] Naka**
What are you talking about?
**[19:34] Dazai**
Oh.
**[19:35] Dazai**
But your right hand's still there.
**[19:37] Naka**
Right hand?
**[19:46] Naka**
What?!
***SIGN*** Nakajima Atsushi
***SIGN*** Ability: Beast Beneath The Moonlight
**[19:49] Naka**
What the?
**[19:49] Naka**
What's this?
**[19:51] Naka**
What the hell?!
**[19:53] Dazai**
Nakajima Atsushi!
**[19:57] Dazai**
You'll become one of us.
**[20:01] Dazai**
From this day forth, you'll be a member
of the Armed Detective Agency.
**[20:08] Naka**
Huh?
**[21:44] Naka**
It's been a long time since
I've slept on a futon.
**[21:46] Naka**
I feel reborn...
**[21:48] Kuni**
Hey, brat.
**[21:49] Kuni**
There's an emergency.
**[21:50] Kuni**
Hightail it over to the detective agency.
**[21:52] Naka**
An emergency?
**[21:54] Kuni**
A bomber's taken a hostage and
holed himself up in our office.
**[21:57] Naka**
I don't want to go!

*I haven't smelled tatami mats in a long time.*
**[00:16] Naka**
Huh?
**[00:18] Naka**
Where am I?
**[00:22] Naka**
What happened last night?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Dazai**
Do you remember nothing at all
from when you were transformed?
**[00:28] (Flashback) Naka**
What are you talking about?
**[00:31] (Flashback) Dazai**
But your right hand's still there.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Naka**
Right hand?
**[00:56] Naka**
It's been so long...
**[00:58] Naka**
...since I slept under a roof.
**[01:03] Naka**
What?
**[01:03] Naka**
What?!
**[01:04] Naka**
What?!
**[01:07] Naka**
Huh?
**[01:07] Naka**
Um, uhh...
**[01:09] Naka**
Okay, I'm taking the call.
**[01:10] Naka**
I'll do it right now!
**[01:11] Naka**
Right this second!
**[01:11] Naka**
Which button am I supposed to push?
**[01:12] Naka**
Um...
**[01:12] Naka**
This one? C'mon, hurry up.
Gosh, which one is it?
**[01:15] Naka**
H-Hello?!
**[01:16] Dazai**
*Good morning!*
**[01:18] Naka**
Oh, Dazai-san.
**[01:21] Dazai**
*Today's another fine day.*
**[01:23] Dazai**
*How's the new dorm?*
**[01:26] Naka**
Great, thank you.
**[01:27] Naka**
Compared to sleeping outdoors, it's heavenly.
**[01:31] Dazai**
*That's good to hear.*
**[01:32] Dazai**
* The change of clothes at your pillow*
* is a gift from everyone at the agency.*
**[01:37] Naka**
Thank you so much for everything.
**[01:40] Dazai**
*By the way, Atsushi-kun,*
**[01:42] Dazai**
* I apologize for asking*
* this out of the blue...*
**[01:44] Dazai**
but there's been an emergency.
**[01:47] Naka**
*An emergency?*
**[01:49] Dazai**
*Yes, there can be no delay.*
**[01:52] Dazai**
* Please come to the specified*
* location immediately.*
**[01:54] Dazai**
*It's a crisis!*
**[01:56] Dazai**
*Only you can help.*
**[01:57] Naka**
O-Okay, I understand.
**[03:31] Dazai**
*Are you ready, Atsushi-kun?*
**[03:34] Naka**
Yes.
**[03:35] Dazai**
* First, when you leave the room,*
* make sure you close the door.*
**[03:38] Dazai**
*Look behind you!*
**[03:40] Naka**
Behind me?
**[03:47] Naka**
Um...
**[03:49] Naka**
What's this about?
**[03:51] Dazai**
What do you think?
**[03:54] Naka**
Maybe I'm hallucinating this morning?
**[03:55] Dazai**
Wrong!
**[03:57] Naka**
Is it an enemy attack?
**[04:00] Naka**
Did you get caught in a trap?
**[04:02] Dazai**
I got in myself.
**[04:04] Dazai**
Well, you see...
**[04:05] Dazai**
I heard that there's a way to commit
suicide by getting stuck in an oil drum,
***SIGN*** Diagram
***SIGN*** Securing the feet is the key.
**[04:09] Dazai**
so I decided to give it a shot.
**[04:11] Dazai**
But now that I have,
**[04:14] Dazai**
I'm just suffering without
being able to actually die.
**[04:18] Dazai**
Not to mention, now that I've
wedged myself this deep,
**[04:20] Dazai**
I can't get out on my own.
**[04:21] Dazai**
I think I might die.
**[04:23] Naka**
I see...
**[04:24] Naka**
But it's a way to commit suicide,
**[04:26] Naka**
so you should be able to kill yourself
if you stay that way, I think?
**[04:30] Dazai**
I like suicide,
**[04:32] Dazai**
but I *don't* like suffering or pain!
**[04:34] Dazai**
Why would I?!
**[04:35] Dazai**
Also, I only learned this after the fact,
**[04:36] Naka**
I see.
**[04:37] Dazai**
but it wasn't a suicide method...
**[04:39] Dazai**
It was a torture method!
**[04:40] Naka**
There.
**[04:42] Naka**
*My name is Nakajima Atsushi.*
**[04:47] Naka**
*Just the other day,*
**[04:49] Naka**
* I turned into a tiger and went on a blind rampage*
* and this man, Dazai-san, helped me.*
**[05:05] Naka**
*While Dazai-san is this kind of person,*
**[05:09] Naka**
*those people with supernatural powers*
**[05:11] Naka**
*all belonged to the Armed Detective Agency.*
**[05:13] (Flashback) Dazai**
Nakajima Atsushi!
**[05:16] (Flashback) Dazai**
You'll become one of us.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Dazai**
From this day forth, you'll be a
member of the Armed Detective Agency.
**[05:27] Dazai**
That was painful.
**[05:29] Dazai**
I owe you one, Atsushi-kun.
**[05:32] Dazai**
Without you, I would've
snapped in two at the waist.
**[05:37] Naka**
Didn't you ask your other coworkers for help?
**[05:40] Dazai**
I called them, sure.
**[05:42] Dazai**
I told them I was on death's door.
**[05:44] Dazai**
But then everyone was all
like, "Congratulations."
**[05:49] Dazai**
How's that make you feel?
**[05:50] Naka**
*I'm not surprised.*
**[05:53] Dazai**
Jeez.
**[05:55] Dazai**
Anyone gifted with supernatural powers
has something wrong with them inside...
**[06:00] Naka**
*Gifted, huh?*
**[06:05] Naka**
Dazai-san.
**[06:07] Naka**
Everyone at the Armed Detective Agency...
the private investigators, that is...
**[06:12] Naka**
They're gifted, right?
**[06:15] Dazai**
Right, they're an armed force
**[06:17] Dazai**
taking on antagonists the police
don't stand a chance against.
**[06:20] Naka**
I don't stand a chance at
joining the agency, then.
**[06:23] Dazai**
You're gifted just fine.
**[06:26] Naka**
It's true that I have the supernatural
ability to turn into a tiger,
**[06:31] Naka**
but I have absolutely no control over it.
**[06:35] Naka**
I just transform unaware.
**[06:38] Naka**
I can't will myself to
transform into a tiger.
**[06:42] Naka**
So I don't think I'll be
of any use, even if I join.
**[06:47] Naka**
I really appreciate the offer, though.
**[06:49] Naka**
I'm sorry.
**[06:51] Dazai**
What's your plan, then?
**[06:53] Naka**
I think I'll look for a job
I can actually handle,
**[06:57] Naka**
though I don't think it'll be easy to find.
**[07:01] Dazai**
I have an idea for a potential job.
**[07:06] Dazai**
I can help you get it, if you'd like.
**[07:08] Naka**
Really?
***SIGN*** Episode 2: A Certain Bomb
**[07:11] Naka**
Thank you so much!
**[07:13] Dazai**
We're going to meet the guarantor
who'll introduce you to the job.
**[07:19] Dazai**
I'm sure he'll like you.
**[07:22] Naka**
What's the job?
**[07:23] Dazai**
No point spoiling the fun.
**[07:26] Dazai**
Well, there may be a test of sorts.
**[07:28] Dazai**
Huh?
**[07:28] Dazai**
A test?
**[07:29] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun, can you write?
**[07:32] Naka**
I do know how to read and write.
**[07:34] Dazai**
Then you'll be fine.
**[07:38] Dazai**
You'll be just fine, I'm sure.
**[07:40] Dazai**
I guarantee it.
**[07:42] Naka**
Thank you!
**[07:45] Dazai**
You'd better thank me!
**[07:46] Dazai**
Just leave it to me,
and everything will be fine!
**[07:50] Dazai**
After all, I *am* Dazai...
**[07:52] Dazai**
The one and only whom the agency trusts
**[07:55] Dazai**
and the populace adores!
**[07:57] Kuni**
There you are, Dazai!
**[08:00] Kuni**
You bandage-squandering machine!
**[08:04] Dazai**
N-Nice nickname there, Kunikida-kun.
***SIGN*** Bandage-Squandering Machine?!
That stung, just a little.
***SIGN***
**[08:09] Kuni**
Who's the one and only one
the agency trusts, huh?
**[08:12] Kuni**
You're the one and only one
**[08:14] Kuni**
who we get complaints,
curses, and grievances about!
**[08:17] Naka**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Calls about complaints, curses...
and grievances?
**[08:18] Dazai**
What?
**[08:20] Dazai**
Since when did I ever get a complaint?!
***SIGN*** Ideal
**[08:23] Kuni**
Call in August:
**[08:25] Kuni**
"One of your employees has been
caught in an offshore fishing net."
**[08:29] Kuni**
"Can you come retrieve him?"
**[08:31] Kuni**
Call in September:
**[08:33] Kuni**
"Some weirdo's got himself
buried on my farm."
**[08:36] Kuni**
"Could he be one of yours?"
**[08:38] Dazai**
Th-Th-Th-Th-Th...
**[08:39] Kuni**
Call in the same month:
**[08:41] Kuni**
"Pay your tab, okay?!"
**[08:44] Kuni**
"All six months' worth!"
**[08:46] Dazai**
That's impossible...
**[08:47] Dazai**
Who knew you were so good at imitating
other people, Kunikida-kun?!
**[08:52] Dazai**
You bastard!
**[08:54] Dazai**
Stop ridiculing me!
**[08:55] Naka**
I wonder if it's actually a good idea
**[08:59] Naka**
to have him help me find a job...
**[09:01] Kuni**
Oh, right!
**[09:03] Kuni**
I wasted a whole minute
dealing with this idiot.
**[09:08] Kuni**
Let's hurry to the agency!
**[09:09] Dazai**
Why?
**[09:10] Kuni**
We have an emergency!
**[09:12] Kuni**
A bomber's taken a hostage and
holed himself up in our office.
**[09:16] Naka**
A bomber?
**[09:21] Naka**
Um...
**[09:22] Kuni**
What?
**[09:24] Kuni**
The agency's on the fourth floor.
**[09:26] Naka**
That's not what I wanted to ask.
**[09:29] Dazai**
Let's take the stairs, just in case.
**[09:32] Naka**
Excuse me...
**[09:32] Kuni**
Quiet!
**[09:34] Naka**
Oh, sorry.
**[09:36] Dazai**
Let's go, Atsushi-kun.
**[09:38] Naka**
What?
**[09:39] Bomber**
I can't...
**[09:41] Bomber**
I can't take it anymore...
**[09:44] Bomber**
It's all your fault...
**[09:46] Bomber**
The Armed Detective Agency's fault.
**[09:49] Bomber**
Where's the president?
**[09:52] Bomber**
Bring the president!
**[09:54] Bomber**
If you don't...
**[09:55] Bomber**
I'll blow everyone to kingdom come.
**[09:58] Dazai**
A personal grudge?
**[10:00] Dazai**
That's inconvenient.
**[10:02] Kuni**
Yeah...
**[10:03] Naka**
Why am I here?
**[10:06] Kuni**
The bomber seems pretty
furious at the agency.
**[10:09] Naka**
I don't think I'll be of
any use. May I go now?
**[10:13] Dazai**
We do attract a lot of ill will.
**[10:16] Naka**
You're ignoring me?
**[10:18] Dazai**
Besides, that's a high explosive.
**[10:21] Dazai**
If the bomber acts on his
threat and detonates it,
**[10:24] Dazai**
the whole floor's as good as gone.
**[10:26] Naka**
Oh no...
**[10:27] Dazai**
We may be able to mitigate the
force of the explosion somewhat
**[10:30] Dazai**
if we can find something to cover the bomb,
***SIGN*** Safety First
**[10:35] Dazai**
but given the circumstances...
**[10:37] Dazai**
I can't believe he took a woman
as a hostage, the coward.
**[10:41] Naka**
Who's the girl?
**[10:42] Dazai**
She's Naomi-chan, a part-time
office assistant.
**[10:45] Naka**
A part-timer?!
**[10:47] Naka**
Then she's a completely innocent bystander!
**[10:51] Kuni**
What should we do?
**[10:53] Dazai**
Why don't we let him see the president?
**[10:55] Kuni**
He'll try to kill the president!
**[10:57] Kuni**
We can't let the president walk
into a situation like that!
**[11:01] Kuni**
I'm glad he's out on a business trip.
**[11:03] Dazai**
Then there's only one method...
**[11:07] Naka**
*Are they going to use their abilities?*
**[11:14] Naka**
Huh?
**[11:18] Dazai**
Go, go.
**[11:20] Dazai**
C'mon, go!
**[11:21] Kuni**
Hey.
**[11:23] Kuni**
Calm down, boy.
**[11:25] Bomber**
Stay away!
**[11:26] Bomber**
I only want to see the president!
**[11:27] Bomber**
If you do anything funny, I'll blow this up!
**[11:31] Kuni**
Okay.
**[11:32] Bomber**
I know who you are. You're Kunikida!
**[11:35] Bomber**
I bet you're trying to
make me let my guard down
**[11:38] Bomber**
and use that annoying ability of yours!
**[11:40] Bomber**
Well, fat chance.
**[11:43] Bomber**
Get up on the desk on all fours
**[11:45] Bomber**
and keep both hands where I can see them!
**[11:48] Bomber**
I-If you don't do as I say,
**[11:51] Bomber**
I'm taking you all down with me!
**[11:58] Dazai**
This isn't good.
**[12:00] Dazai**
Because of his personal grudge against the agency,
**[12:03] Dazai**
he's done his research on all
the members' names and faces.
**[12:06] Dazai**
If I go, it'll only provoke him.
**[12:11] Dazai**
Hmm... What to do?
**[12:15] Naka**
*I just got a* really *bad feeling...*
**[12:20] Dazai**
A-tsu-shi-ku—
**[12:22] Naka**
No.
**[12:23] Dazai**
I haven't even said anything.
**[12:25] Naka**
I already know what you're going to say.
**[12:27] Dazai**
Listen, Atsushi-kun.
**[12:29] Dazai**
You're the only one here who's not a formal
member and who the bomber won't know.
**[12:35] Naka**
But even if I were to go,
**[12:38] Naka**
I wouldn't be able to do anything.
**[12:40] Dazai**
It'll be fine.
**[12:42] Dazai**
We just need you to distract
him for a short while.
**[12:46] Dazai**
We'll do the rest.
**[12:49] Dazai**
Let me think...
**[12:50] Dazai**
Knowing you, how about you
put on an off-putting act
**[12:55] Dazai**
as a worthless human being?
**[12:57] Dazai**
Here are some props.
**[13:02] Dazai**
Trust me.
**[13:05] Dazai**
Scuffles on this scale
**[13:07] Dazai**
are child's play to the Armed
Detective Agency, Atsushi-kun.
**[13:14] Dazai**
**[13:19] Naka**
S-S-S-Stop!
**[13:22] Naka**
Wh-Wh-Wh-What could you possibly accomplish?
**[13:25] Naka**
I... I bet this would make your parents sad!
**[13:28] Bomber**
Who the hell are you?!
***SIGN*** S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S...
***SIGN*** Scary
**[13:30] Naka**
Sorry!
**[13:32] Bomber**
You're not with the agency.
**[13:36] Naka**
A-A-As you can tell,
**[13:38] Naka**
I'm just a newspaper delivery boy
who happened to pass by!
**[13:40] Bomber**
And what's a delivery boy
got to do with any of this?
**[13:43] Naka**
No matter how much you might hate them,
**[13:45] Naka**
you shouldn't take hostages or blow up bombs.
**[13:48] Naka**
I'm sure there's something to live for.
**[13:50] Bomber**
Like what?
**[13:51] Naka**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Wait a minute...
Did you just start that thought
without thinking it through?
***SIGN***
**[13:52] Bomber**
What's something to live for?!

T...
**[13:58] Bomber**
What?!

You can eat a *lot* of tea on rice!

You can sleep somewhere
with a roof over your head!
**[14:06] Naka**
When you go to sleep at night,
you can wake up to a new day!
**[14:08] Naka**
And every day is a new day!
**[14:11] Naka**
But...
**[14:14] Naka**
If you blow up, neither you
nor I will see another new day...
**[14:18] Naka**
because we'll be dead.
**[14:20] Bomber**
I know that!
**[14:21] Naka**
What?!
**[14:23] Naka**
Um...
**[14:25] Naka**
I think you should reconsider.
**[14:28] Naka**
I mean, if you die...
**[14:30] Naka**
You're really dead!
**[14:32] Naka**
I'm sure you might wish
you were dead sometimes,
**[14:36] Naka**
but there are people who keep on
living, even if the going's tough.
**[14:38] Naka**
Oh, people like me!
**[14:41] Naka**
I have no family and no friends.
**[14:43] Naka**
I even got chased out of an orphanage,
**[14:45] Naka**
and I have nowhere to go,
**[14:46] Naka**
and no hope for the future...
**[14:48] Naka**
*Besides, I even turn into a tiger.*
**[14:51] Naka**
Yeah, that's right!
**[14:53] Naka**
It's true that, like you say,
**[14:55] Naka**
I lack redeeming qualities,
**[14:56] Naka**
and everyone'd agree that
I'm the scum of society.
**[14:59] Naka**
But I still manage keep on living
without going all postal about it!
**[15:02] Dazai**
Good job, Atsushi-kun.
**[15:04] Dazai**
You have acting like a worthless
human being down to an art form.
**[15:08] Naka**
So why don't you toss that bomb aside,
**[15:11] Naka**
and we can look for jobs together?

Okay?

"One down," you say?

"Now!"? "Secure him!"?
**[15:57] Kuni**
You're all talk and no action!
**[15:59] Dazai**
What choice was there?
**[16:01] Dazai**
You lost at rock-paper-scissors,
Kunikida-kun.
**[16:06] Kuni**
You bastard...
**[16:07] Dazai**
Well, all's well that ends well, isn't it?
**[16:10] Dazai**
I've heard that if you're too neurotic,
**[16:13] Dazai**
you'll get a lot of wrinkles
**[16:15] Dazai**
and your aging becomes accelerated.
**[16:19] Kuni**
Is that true?
**[16:20] Dazai**
Go on, take notes.
**[16:22] Kuni**
"If you're too neurotic...

Hey, brat!
**[16:53] Bomber**
No way!
**[16:54] Naka**
Kunikida-san!
**[16:56] Naka**
What should I do?
**[16:59] (Flashback) Dazai**
We may be able to mitigate the
force of the explosion somewhat
**[17:03] (Flashback) Dazai**
if we can find something
to cover the bomb...
**[17:04] Naka**
Something to cover the bomb...
**[17:07] Naka**
Something...
**[17:08] Naka**
Anything?!
**[17:16] Dazai**

**[17:16] Dazai**
What?
**[17:19] Naka**
Huh?
**[17:20] Naka**
What am I doing?
**[17:22] Dazai**
Idiot!
**[17:23] Kuni**
Brat!
**[17:39] Kuni**
Jeez...
**[17:42] Kuni**
I figured he was stupid,
but I didn't know how stupid.
**[17:46] Dazai**
He has the talent to become a suicide maniac.
**[17:49] Dazai**
Wouldn't you agree, Tanizaki-kun?
**[17:52] Tani**
Sorry.
**[17:54] Tani**
Are you okay?
**[17:57] Naka**
Huh?
**[17:58] Naomi**

**[18:08] Naomi**
I had the time of my life

**[18:14] Naomi**
Please continue where we
left off, once we get home.
**[18:18] Naka**
So the part-time person was
in cahoots with everyone, too?
**[18:21] Kuni**
Brat, you should blame Dazai.
**[18:25] Kuni**
Barring that, blame yourself for choosing
the wrong person to help you find a job!
**[18:29] Naka**
Then is this the job...
**[18:32] Dazai**
I told you there was a test involved.
**[18:36] Naka**
As in, an entrance exam?
**[18:38] Fuku**
That's right.
**[18:40] Haruno**
The exam has been completed
without much ado, president.
**[18:43] Fuku**
I see.
**[18:46] Naka**
President?
**[18:49] Fuku**
Since Dazai said there
was a capable young man,
***SIGN*** President of the
Armed Detective Agency
***SIGN*** Fukuzawa Yukichi
Ability: All Men

**[18:54] Fuku**
I had him test your mettle.
**[18:59] Dazai**
Well, I recommended you for hire,
**[19:03] Dazai**
but since you've been designated
a major threat by the ward,
**[19:07] Dazai**
there was disagreement among us as
to whether we should take you in.
**[19:11] Fuku**
But Dazai said...
**[19:15] (Flashback) Dazai**
President.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Dazai**
Suppose the most gifted person
in the world appeared before you,
**[19:22] (Flashback) Dazai**
would you hire him?
**[19:23] (Flashback) Fuku**
Power doesn't make you
a member of the agency.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Dazai**
That's why I recommend him.
**[19:33] Kuni**
So, president... What is your decision?
**[19:43] Fuku**
I'll let Dazai decide.
**[19:45] Dazai**
You can trust me.
**[19:47] Naka**
W-Wait a minute, Dazai-san.
**[19:50] Naka**
So the job you meant to
introduce me for was...
**[19:53] Dazai**
You apparently passed the test.
**[19:55] Dazai**
Welcome to the Armed Detective
Agency, Nakajima Atsushi-kun.
**[20:00] Naomi**
Congratulations!
**[20:02] Tani**
I'm glad I was able to help.
**[20:04] Naka**
Oh, please, no.
**[20:06] Naka**
I can't possibly join a workplace
as violent and reckless as this.
**[20:09] Dazai**
Not just anyone would use their body
to shield a bomb to save everyone.
**[20:14] Naomi**
That's right. I was really impressed!
**[20:18] Dazai**
You'll be fine.
**[20:20] Naka**
But...
***SIGN*** Secretary
Haruno Kirako
**[20:26] Haruno**
So, president, do you actually
want him to join the agency, then?
**[20:36] Haruno**
Oh, a tea leaf's standing straight up...
**[20:39] Haruno**
I think something good
will happen, president.
**[20:46] Fuku**
Ouch.
**[20:48] Dazai**
Still, well...
**[20:51] Dazai**
If you still refuse, we can't force you.
**[20:54] Dazai**
But then, I can't help but
worry for your future.
**[20:59] Dazai**
We'll need you to vacate the company dorm...
**[21:03] Dazai**
You don't really have any specialized skills,
**[21:06] Dazai**
nor do you have friends or know anyone...
**[21:09] Dazai**
That'd make finding a job very difficult.
**[21:11] Dazai**
Besides, you are a wanted tiger.
**[21:16] Dazai**
Should anyone learn of that,
**[21:17] Dazai**
at best you'd get fired from your job.
**[21:19] Dazai**
At worst, you'd be captured and shot dead.
**[21:22] Naka**
Sh-Shot dead?
**[21:24] Dazai**
Now, if you were with this agency...
**[21:26] Dazai**
it'd be a different story.
**[21:28] Naka**
Th-Then that means...
**[21:30] Naomi**
We look forward to working
with you, Atsushi-san.
**[21:33] Naomi**
Don't we, brother?
**[21:35] Kuni**
Follow the rules, brat.
**[21:38] Dazai**
Well, now that's been settled...
**[21:40] Naka**
You've got to be kidding me.

**[01:53] Tani**
Oh, bingo.
**[01:55] Tani**
I'm impressed.
**[01:56] Naomi**
How did you know?
**[01:57] Naka**
I heard you are a part-time worker,
**[02:00] Naka**
and I thought you might still
be a student given your uniform.
**[02:05] Naka**
Tanizaki-san seems close to
me in age, so... just a hunch.
**[02:09] Dazai**
Honesty is a virtue.

Close.
**[02:22] Dazai**
He was a teacher.

Huh...

* Of course you'd use the*

I don't even want to think about it.

Yes, me.

*It won't work.*

Don't bother, brat.
**[02:54] Kuni**
His former profession is one of the seven

**[03:02] Naka**
*A reward?*
**[03:04] Dazai**
That's right.

No one's been able to guess right,
so the reward's just ballooned.

*Ballooned...*

*Reward!*
**[03:13] Naka**
B-By the way,

**[07:00] Higuchi**
Well, it seems there's
recently been a group of
**[07:03] Higuchi**
distasteful people loitering in
my company building's back alley.
**[07:06] Tani**
And by distasteful, you mean...
**[07:08] Higuchi**
They appear to be dressed in rags.
**[07:10] Higuchi**
Some of them have been heard
speaking a foreign tongue.
**[07:14] Kuni**
They must be smugglers or some such.
**[07:19] Kuni**
The military police may police all they want,
**[07:21] Kuni**
but they keep multiplying
like rats on a ship.
**[07:23] Kuni**
They're unavoidable in a port town.
**[07:26] Higuchi**
Right.
**[07:27] Higuchi**
If we had some evidence that
they're running afoul of the law,
**[07:29] Higuchi**
we could reach out to the military police.
**[07:31] Higuchi**
So...
**[07:32] Kuni**
You want us to stake out the
place and get that evidence.
**[07:36] Kuni**
Brat.
**[07:37] Naka**
Huh?
**[07:38] Kuni**
You go.
**[07:39] Naka**
What?!
**[07:41] Kuni**
It's a simple stakeout job.
**[07:44] Kuni**
Besides, smugglers are mostly harmless.
**[07:46] Kuni**
They're usually only good
at making a break for it.
**[07:49] Kuni**
It's the perfect first job for you.
**[07:52] Naka**

**[08:39] Kuni**
Of them, the one in this photo
**[08:41] Kuni**
is a very dangerous man beyond
even this Agency's reach.
**[08:45] Naka**
Why is he dangerous?
**[08:47] Kuni**
Because he's gifted.
**[08:50] Kuni**
His ability happens to be of the ruthless
sort specialized for slaughter.
**[08:54] Kuni**
Not even the military police
stand a chance against him.
**[08:56] Kuni**
I wouldn't want to fight him, either.
**[09:00] Naka**
What's his name?
**[09:04] Kuni**
It's Akutagawa.
**[09:10] Aku**
I found a bag on the ground.
**[09:13] Aku**
I think it's been lost by its owner.
**[09:14] Cop**
Ah, lost and found.
**[09:17] Cop**
Then if you could fill out this form...
**[09:19] Cop**
Hm?
**[09:20] Cop**
I've seen you before.
**[09:22] Aku**
That's impressive.
**[09:23] Aku**
I've already been found out.
**[09:24] Cop**
Wait, is he the wanted fugitive?!
**[09:28] Cop**
Stop!
**[09:29] Aku**
The military police of this
city are a distinguished force.
**[09:43] Woman**
Excuse me,
**[09:44] Woman**

Done.
**[10:01] Aku**
Next...
**[10:06] Dazai**
You can't do a double-suicide alone...
**[10:11] Kuni**
Hey, Dazai.
**[10:13] Kuni**
What about the job?
**[10:14] Dazai**
I'm waiting for a sign from above.
**[10:16] Kuni**
Huh?
**[10:17] Dazai**
With two, you can...
**[10:19] Dazai**
Double-suicide... Double-suicide...
**[10:22] Tani**
That's scary, all right.
**[10:24] Naka**
It's not funny.
**[10:26] Naka**
All this talk about vicious
mafia and how you can die...
**[10:29] Naka**
I'm not sure I'm cut out for this.
**[10:32] Tani**
Well, even I've been able to manage.
**[10:36] Tani**
You'll be fine.
**[10:37] Naka**
But you're also gifted, right?
**[10:41] Naka**
Your ability must be different
from my own useless one...
**[10:43] Tani**
I wouldn't set your expectations too high.
**[10:46] Tani**
My ability's not suited for combat.
**[10:48] Naomi**
You have a wonderful ability.
**[10:51] Naomi**
I love it.
**[10:54] Tani**
Stop, Naomi.
**[10:55] Tani**
Not here.
**[10:57] Naomi**
Oh, are you talking back to me?
**[10:59] Naomi**
I wonder what mouth's saying
such cheeky things...
**[11:04] Higuchi**
We're here.
**[11:05] All**
Huh?
**[11:06] Higuchi**
This way.
**[11:12] Naka**
It's kind of creepy.
**[11:18] Tani**
That's strange.
**[11:19] Tani**
Is this really the right place?
**[11:22] Tani**
Um...
**[11:23] Higuchi**
The name's Higuchi.
**[11:24] Tani**
Higuchi-san.
**[11:25] Tani**
Smugglers are a cowardly bunch.
**[11:29] Tani**
They'll always have an escape route.
**[11:31] Tani**
But this is a dead end.
**[11:34] Tani**
If anyone came after them
from that direction,
**[11:36] Tani**
they'd have nowhere to run.
**[11:37] Higuchi**
That's right.
**[11:39] Higuchi**
I apologize. I led you into a trap.
**[11:44] Higuchi**
My real target was you!
***SIGN*** Port Mafia:

Akutagawa?!
**[11:50] Higuchi**
I have them, as planned.
**[11:52] Kutagawa**
Excellent.
**[11:54] Kutagawa**
I'll be there in five minutes.
**[11:57] Tani**
She's...
**[11:58] Naka**
...with the Port Mafia!
**[12:01] Naka**
**[12:06] Tani**
She's...

...with the Port Mafia!
**[12:19] Naomi**
Brother... Are you okay?
**[12:24] Tani**
Naomi?
**[12:26] Tani**
Naomi!
**[12:28] Tani**
God, what should I do?
**[12:30] Tani**
Oh, right! Tourniquet!
**[12:32] Tani**
Atsushi-kun, do you have
a tourniquet on you?!
**[12:33] Tani**
No, first, I have to clean the wound...
**[12:36] Tani**
No!
**[12:37] Tani**
I have to get her to Dr. Yosano.
**[12:38] Tani**
We... We have to take her to the infirmary!
**[12:40] Tani**
Atsushi-kun, get her legs!
**[12:43] Higuchi**
My investigations have already revealed
that you are a non-combatant member.
**[12:47] Higuchi**
Let's have you follow the noble
princess to the afterlife.
**[12:51] Tani**
What?
**[12:53] Tani**
You two-bit thug...
**[12:58] Tani**
How dare you hurt Naomi!

Light Snow

Snow at this time of year?
**[13:15] Tani**
Atsushi-kun, stay far back.
**[13:19] Tani**
This one... is mine to kill!
**[13:26] Higuchi**
What?
**[13:27] Tani**
My Light Snow ability
**[13:29] Tani**
transforms the entire space
with snowfall into a screen.
**[13:32] Higuchi**
What?
**[13:33] Tani**
I have overlaid the background
scenery onto my image.
**[13:37] Tani**
You can't see me anymore!
**[13:39] Higu**
I may not be able to see you,
**[13:40] Higu**
but bullets can still hit you!
**[13:47] Tani**
Wrong.
**[13:57] Tani**
Die!
**[14:10] Aku**
Fear death.
**[14:13] Aku**
Fear slaughter.
**[14:15] Aku**
Those who desire death
**[14:17] Aku**
have an equal desire to die.
**[14:19] Aku**
Therefore...
**[14:22] (Flashback) Kuni**
Don't run into him!
**[14:25] (Flashback) Kuni**
If you do, run!
**[14:28] Aku**
It's nice to meet you.
**[14:31] Aku**
I am Akutagawa,
**[14:33] Aku**
one the Port Mafia's dogs, as is she.
**[14:38] Higuchi**
Akutagawa-senpai!
**[14:40] Higuchi**
I can handle this myself.
**[14:45] Higuchi**
I believe my orders were to
take the weretiger alive!
**[14:48] Higuchi**
And yet here you are, gunning everyone down.
**[14:50] Higuchi**
You useless cur!
**[14:52] Higuchi**
Stand down.
**[14:54] Higuchi**
I'm sorry.
**[14:55] Naka**
Take the weretiger alive?
**[14:57] Naka**
What are you after?
**[14:59] Aku**
My target has always been you
and you alone, weretiger.
**[15:04] Aku**
Your fellow agents lying there
just got caught in the crossfire.
**[15:09] Naka**
This is because of me?
**[15:11] Aku**
Indeed.
**[15:13] Aku**
That is your karma, weretiger.
**[15:15] Aku**
You will cause ill for everyone
around you, just by being alive.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Staff**
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
**[15:22] (Flashback) Staff**
The world would be a better place
**[15:24] (Flashback) Staff**
if you'd just die in a ditch somewhere!

You'll never find a place where you belong!

My karma?

Ability:
**[15:34] Sign 1536**
Rashoumon
**[15:35] Aku**
Rashoumon.
**[15:51] Aku**
I missed on purpose that time, of course.
**[15:55] Aku**
But my Rashoumon has poor taste.
**[15:58] Aku**
It devours anything and everything.
**[16:00] Aku**
I intend to take you alive,
but if you continue to resist,
**[16:04] Aku**
I'll take your leg next.
**[16:06] Naka**
Why...
**[16:08] Naka**
Why me?
**[16:10] Naka**
*Is this my fault, too?*
**[16:13] Naka**
* Do I make everyone around me*
* suffer just by being alive?*
**[16:16] Tani**
A... Atsushi-kun.
**[16:19] Tani**
Run, Atsushi-kun.
**[16:22] Naka**
*They're still alive.*
**[16:25] (Flashback) Kuni**
Today you have joined the ranks
of our Armed Detective Agency.
**[16:29] (Flashback) Kuni**
Do not be a burden to anyone,
nor shame the Agency's good name.
**[16:47] Aku**
Choosing death over surrender...
**[16:48] Aku**
How tiresome.
**[17:05] Aku**
That move wasn't half bad.
**[17:08] Aku**
But in the end, it was a fool's last stand.
**[17:11] Aku**
I told you.
**[17:13] Aku**
My black beast is indiscriminate.
**[17:16] Aku**
It devours anything and everything.
**[17:18] Aku**
It consumed the very space bullets
were attempting to cross to reach me.
**[17:23] Aku**
Neither spears or flames can reach me
**[17:27] Aku**
without a space to traverse.
**[17:29] Naka**
*How is anyone supposed to attack him, then?*
**[17:33] Aku**
And I am a man who keeps his word.
**[17:56] (Flashback) Staff**
Quit crying, brat!
**[17:59] (Flashback) Staff**
Only children who have parents
to take liability for them
**[18:01] (Flashback) Staff**
are allowed to cry without reservation!
**[18:04] (Flashback) Staff**
A child abandoned by his parents
has no license to cry!
**[18:08] Naka**
*That's right...*
**[18:10] Naka**
* I've been abandoned countless*
* times over the course of my life.*
**[18:13] Naka**
*I was never allowed to cry,*
**[18:15] Naka**
*no one ever accepted me,*
**[18:18] Naka**
*and I never had a place I could call home.*
**[18:22] Naka**
*And yet, I...*
**[18:28] Aku**
What?
**[18:33] Higuchi**
His right leg regenerated.
**[18:41] Aku**
This is how it should be.
**[18:44] Higuchi**
Akutagawa-senpai!
**[18:45] Aku**
Stand down, Higuchi!
**[18:49] Aku**
What?
**[18:50] Higuchi**
Senpai!
**[18:52] Higuchi**
You...

No Longer Human
**[19:36] Dazai**
Okay, that's enough!
**[19:43] Aku**
What?
**[19:49] Higuchi**
You're one of the detectives...
**[19:51] Higuchi**
Why are you here?
**[19:52] Dazai**
I'm the type who can't stop thinking about
what a beautiful lady might be up to.
**[19:55] Dazai**
I decided to secretly listen in.
**[19:57] Higuchi**
Impossible.
**[20:02] Higuchi**
Back then...
**[20:08] Higuchi**
You had already seen through
my plans even then.
**[20:11] Dazai**
Come on, wake up, Atsushi-kun.
**[20:14] Dazai**
I don't want to carry three
people back at the same time.
**[20:17] Higuchi**
You think we'll let you go alive?
**[20:21] Aku**
Don't, Higuchi.
**[20:22] Aku**
You can't win.
**[20:25] Higuchi**
But, Akutagawa-senpai...
**[20:27] Aku**
Dazai-san, we'll retreat for this round.
**[20:31] Aku**
But the weretiger will be
the Port Mafia's someday.
**[20:37] Dazai**
Why?
**[20:38] Aku**
Simple enough.
**[20:40] Aku**
That weretiger has a bounty
on him from the black market.
**[20:44] Aku**
The bounty sum is seven billion yen.
**[20:47] Dazai**
Now, that's very generous.
**[20:50] Aku**
We'll pay a visit to your
Agency at a later time.
**[20:53] Aku**
The Port Mafia will claim that seven billion.
**[20:57] Dazai**
Is that a declaration of war
on the Armed Detective Agency?
**[21:00] Dazai**
Try it... if you dare.
**[21:05] Higu**
You are an insignificant
small-scale operation,
**[21:08] Higu**
whereas we are this city's
darkness made incarnate.
**[21:11] Higu**
We have connections in this city's
politics and economy at every level.
**[21:15] Higu**
An agency with a dozen or so operatives
**[21:17] Higu**
will become ashes along with your entire
office in less than three days' time.
**[21:20] Higu**
No one has opposed us and lived.
**[21:24] Dazai**
I know all that.
**[21:27] Aku**
Indeed.
**[21:29] Aku**
You know that better than anyone
**[21:34] Aku**
being an ex-Port Mafia member, Dazai-san.
**[21:34] Aku**
**[23:10] Kuni**
I heard, brat.
**[23:12] Kuni**
There's a bounty on your head to the tune
of seven billion on the black market.
**[23:17] Naka**
Wh-Wh-What should I do?
**[23:19] Naka**
Maybe the Port Mafia will
come raid the Agency.
**[23:23] Naka**
But why me?
**[23:25] Kuni**
You caused this.
**[23:28] Kuni**
Think about what you can do.
**[23:30] Naka**
What *I* can do?

Kunikida-san, where are

Calm down.
**[03:08] Kuni**
They're both okay.
**[03:09] Naka**
Are you... sure?
**[03:12] Kuni**
Yes.
**[03:13] Kuni**
Dr. Yosano is treating
Tanizaki right now next door.
**[03:20] Yosano**
What a nice big injury
you've racked up, huh, Tanizaki?

Do you like my treatment that much?

Huh?
**[04:03] Kuni**
You have a seven-billion-yen bounty
on your head on the black market.
**[04:09] Naka**
What?
**[04:10] Kuni**
Seven billion, huh?
**[04:12] Kuni**
You've moved up in the world.
**[04:14] Kuni**
No wonder the Port Mafia are keen
to get their hands on you.
**[04:17] Naka**
Seven billion?
**[04:20] (Flashback) Aku**
My target has always been you
and you alone, weretiger.
**[04:25] Naka**
I see.
**[04:28] Naka**
Wh-Wh-What should I do?
**[04:30] Naka**
The Mafia might launch
a raid on the Agency.
**[04:32] Naka**
But why me?
**[04:34] Kuni**
Don't panic.
**[04:37] Kuni**
The Port Mafia are certainly
violent to the extreme,
**[04:40] Kuni**
but keep your cool.
***SIGN*** Ideal
**[04:43] Kuni**
Losing your cool can kill

**[04:46] Kuni**
That's what my mentor would tell me.

Um, it's upside down...
**[04:51] Naka**
Your notebook.
**[05:09] Kuni**
I haven't lost my cool!
**[05:12] Kuni**
I'm not going to panic over the Mafia!
**[05:14] Kuni**
I'd beat them back, even if
they attacked this very second!
**[05:16] Kuni**
I'll go like this, and this!
**[05:17] Naka**
*Kunikida-san's pretty wound up...*

Slash and burn like a pro,

stabbity-stab and beat them all!
**[05:23] Naka**
* It must mean the Agency's*

**[05:28] Naka**
*and all because of me.*
**[05:30] Kuni**
He'll come for sure.
**[05:33] Kuni**
You caused this.
**[05:36] Kuni**
The worst-case scenario may come to pass...
**[05:39] Kuni**
Think about what you can do.
**[05:43] Naka**
*What* I *can do?*

Wh-Who the hell are you?
**[07:10] Hiro**
We're here for work, as well.
**[07:12] Hiro**
We'll be done soon enough.
**[07:15] Hiro**
We've heard rumors that an unruly bunch

have been selling Port Mafia
cargo on the black market.
**[07:21] Hiro**
They're supposedly based right here.
**[07:24] Hiro**
We're just looking for evidence.
**[07:27] Hiro**
Do you mind if I look through the cargo?
**[07:35] Hiro**
There's the evidence, right here.

That's impossible!

Kill them all.

What's going on?
**[09:12] Mob**
I hear it's a massacre.
**[09:14] Mob**
Damn...
**[09:16] Mob**
The military police say the
Port Mafia's military squad did it...
**[09:23] Mob**
The Black Lizard group,
the most violent of them all.
**[09:25] Mob**
The Black Lizard?
**[09:27] Mob**
They're as good as special ops,

and merciless to boot.

*The Port Mafia's Black Lizard...*
**[09:36] Naka**
*If they were to attack the Agency...*
**[09:50] Naka**
*The worst-case scenario.*

Who is this?

*It's me.*

I'm going to quit the Agency.
**[10:35] Naka**
I'm going to quit, and go on the run alone.
**[10:37] Naka**
Catch me if you can!
**[10:39] Higuchi**
I see.
**[10:41] Higuchi**
So you're telling us to call
off the war on the Agency?
**[11:02] Higuchi**
Call the Black Lizard!
**[11:18] Kuni**
Oh there you are, brat.
**[11:21] Kuni**
Thanks to you, it's a huge mess.
**[11:23] Kuni**
It's highly probable that this will
turn into the worst-case scenario.
**[11:25] Kuni**
Investigation Report
**[11:26] Kuni**
Come help carry these—
**[11:28] Kuni**
Hey!
**[11:30] Naka**
There's no need to worry.
**[11:33] Naka**
The worst-case scenario
won't happen anymore.
**[11:37] Naka**
This agency is safe.
**[11:39] Kuni**
Huh?
**[11:41] Kuni**
Hey!
**[11:42] Kuni**
Come help, brat!
**[11:43] Kuni**
Where are you running off to now?!

You're late.
**[12:47] Hiro**
You're two minutes late.

What a glum place.
**[12:57] Tachi**
Where's Gin?
**[12:59] Tachi**
Is he late, too?
**[13:00] Hiro**
He's already here.

He's behind you.

You get on my nerves.

Stop it, fools.

You're a hard one to read.
**[13:45] Hiro**
We're all here.
**[13:47] Higuchi**
*Well done.*
**[13:48] Hiro**
And?
**[13:50] Hiro**
What's the target that takes
three of us to crush?
**[13:53] Higuchi**
*The target...*
**[13:55] Higuchi**
is the Armed Detective Agency's office.
**[13:58] Hiro**
The Agency?
**[14:00] Hiro**
*Not the weretiger, then?*
**[14:02] Higuchi**
The previous attempt failed
**[14:04] Higuchi**
because the Agency interfered.
**[14:06] Higuchi**
We won't make the same mistake twice.
**[14:08] Higuchi**
We'll annihilate the Agency first to
prevent them from acting as his guard.
**[14:12] Hiro**
No survivors?
**[14:15] Higuchi**
*Fine by me.*
**[14:19] Hiro**
Understood.

Worthless men

**[15:11] Aku**
Your resolve is admirable.
**[15:15] Aku**
I will give you a reason to live.
**[15:20] D**
I have finally found a reason to live.
**[15:24] D**
A reason to live?
**[15:26] D**
No, a reason I'd kept on living till now.
**[15:30] D**
That's right.
**[15:31] D**
I've lived to this day so that I can
be in a double-suicide with you.
**[15:35] D**
I'm sure of it.
**[15:36] D**
Ah, *bella donna*.
**[15:39] Woman**
Feel free to do it on your own..
**[15:41] D**
A double-suicide is not possible alone.
**[15:44] Woman**
By the way, Dazai-san?
**[15:45] Woman**
Do you have a proper life insurance policy?
**[15:49] D**
Why would you ask that, *bella donna*?
**[15:52] Woman**
Well...
**[15:54] Woman**
Because you have racked up quite a tab.
**[15:58] Woman**
If you haven't gotten one yet,
**[16:01] Woman**
I'll be happy to refer you one.
**[16:08] D**
Ah, your vitality is blinding.
**[16:12] Woman**
Aw, if that's the best you've
got for changing the subject,
**[16:15] Woman**
I'm going to go ahead and barge into
your agency on the fourth floor.
**[16:17] D**
Ah, your decisiveness is even more blinding.
**[16:29] Tachi**
Not even a sentry?
**[16:31] Tachi**
Talk about careless.
**[16:51] Kuni**
Who are you?
**[16:53] Hiro**
Apologies.
**[16:54] Hiro**
Even though you're a detective agency,
we forgot to make an appointment.
**[16:58] Hiro**
And we forgot to knock.
**[17:00] Kuni**
The Port Mafia's Black Lizard.
**[17:03] Hiro**
Well, I hope you'll overlook these mishaps.
**[17:06] Hiro**
Our errand will be over soon enough.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Staff**
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
**[17:37] (Flashback) Staff**
No orphanage would welcome the likes of you!
**[17:39] (Flashback) Staff**
The world would be a better place if
you'd just die in a ditch somewhere!
**[17:46] Naka**
They were right.
**[17:51] Naka**
There's nowhere I can belong.
**[18:03] Naka**
Gunshots?
**[18:04] Naka**
But that's where...
**[18:15] Naka**
Why's the Agency being attacked?!
**[18:19] Naka**
Oh, sorry!
**[18:39] Naka**
*Why is this happening?*
**[18:42] Naka**
*It's all because of me*
**[18:44] Naka**
*that everyone's in danger again!*
**[18:48] Naka**
Stop!
**[18:52] Hiro**
What?
**[18:54] Naka**
Huh?
**[18:57] Naka**
Huh?
**[18:58] Kenji**
There!
**[19:00] Kenji**
Hup.
**[19:05] Kuni**
So you're finally back, brat.
**[19:07] Naka**
Uhh...
**[19:18] Kuni**
This is why I hate raids.
**[19:21] Kuni**
They really throw off
our budget projections.
**[19:23] Kuni**
How much do you think repairing the office
**[19:25] Kuni**
and replacing inventory will cost?!
**[19:29] Yosano**
Using machine guns for a raid
was a little over the top.
**[19:32] Yosano**
It's your turn to go
around the neighborhood
**[19:36] Yosano**
with apologies and gifts, Kunikida-kun.
**[19:40] Kuni**
So it *is* the worst-case scenario!
**[19:43] Naka**
Huh?
**[19:44] Naka**
*So this is the "worst-case scenario"?*
**[19:47] Naka**
* This is the Port Mafia military squad*
* said to be on par with special ops?*
**[19:53] Naka**
*Huh?*
**[19:55] Kenji**
Kunikida-san, what should we do with them?
**[19:58] Kuni**
Throw them out the window.
**[20:00] Kenji**
Roger!
**[20:01] Kenji**
Hup, hup.
**[20:03] Kenji**
One...
**[20:04] Kenji**
Two...
**[20:05] Kuni**
For the umpteenth time,
**[20:05] Kenji**
Three!
**[20:06] Kuni**
I wish they'd give up on raids.
**[20:09] Naka**
*So it's the "umpteenth" time?*
**[20:14] Naka**
* The Agency's far more violent*
* than the Port Mafia.*
**[20:20] Kenji**
Bye!
**[20:22] Kuni**
Hurry up and help with the clean-up, brat!
**[20:27] Kenji**
Have a nice trip!
**[20:28] Kuni**
I can't believe you wandered
off in the middle of it all!
**[20:32] Kuni**
I told you, you're a member
of the Agency now.
**[20:34] Kuni**
You should be thinking about
what you yourself can do.
**[20:38] Kuni**
Well, helping with clean-up
is about all you *can* do.
**[20:43] (Flashback) Kuni**
Think about what you can do.
**[20:49] Naka**
I see.
**[21:03] Kuni**
Hey, if you've got time to laugh...
**[21:09] Kuni**
What, are you crying?
**[21:11] Naka**
I... I... I'm not crying!
**[21:15] Kuni**
You are.
**[21:18] Naka**
I'm not!
**[21:20] Kuni**
Just look at you.
**[21:22] Kuni**
You're so typical for your generation.
**[21:26] Kuni**
Even when given a job,
**[21:27] Kuni**
you just go off and play without permission.
**[21:28] Kuni**
You cry if anyone gives so
much as a word of criticism.
**[21:30] Naka**
That's not it.
**[21:32] Naka**
That's not what this is about.
**[21:33] Kuni**
But you're crying.
**[21:35] Naka**
I am...
**[21:37] Naka**
But that isn't what it's about!
**[21:39] Naka**
**[23:11] Rampo**
The only reason they can call
themselves a detective agency
**[23:14] Rampo**
and function as one
**[23:16] Rampo**
is my ability, Ultra-Deduction.
**[23:18] Rampo**
Oh, a murder case has
arrived on our doorstep.
**[23:21] Rampo**
Okay, Atsushi-kun,
**[23:22] Rampo**
come with me on the case.
**[23:24] Naka**
Uh, I'm not sure I'm up to the task...

Hey, hey, Harunocchi.
**[00:23] Rampo**
Can you take the marble out of this bottle?
**[00:27] Haruno**
Sure, right away.
**[00:29] Naka**
A marble?
**[00:34] Haruno**
Is this what you wanted, Rampo-san?
**[00:37] Rampo**
Yes.
**[00:38] Rampo**
Marbles are nice, aren't they?
**[00:40] Haruno**
Yes, marbles are nice.
**[00:42] Naka**
Um, isn't Rampo-san going to help?
**[00:46] Rampo**
Kunikida-kun.
**[00:48] Rampo**
I have to head off to a job soon.
**[00:51] Kuni**
Oh, to assist with a murder case?
**[00:54] Rampo**
Indeed, the police in this city can't capture
even a single criminal without my help.
**[01:01] Rampo**
Still...
**[01:02] Rampo**
My Ultra-Deduction is the best
ability in this agency...
**[01:06] Rampo**
or even the entire nation.
**[01:08] Rampo**
I guess it's no small wonder
that everyone depends on it.
**[01:11] Kuni**
We're indebted to you, Rampo-san.
**[01:13] Rampo**
Good, as long as you're aware.
**[01:15] Rampo**
That's right.
**[01:15] Rampo**
Though you call yourselves
a detective agency,
**[01:17] Rampo**
you lot don't have the deductive
powers of a single monkey.
**[01:20] Rampo**
The only reason they can call themselves
a detective agency and function as one
**[01:23] Rampo**
is my ability, Ultra-Deduction.
**[01:25] Haruno**
Ultra-Deduction is so amazing...
**[01:27] Haruno**
An ability that lets you see right to
the heart of any case in an instant.
**[01:31] Kuni**
You are a role model for the Agency...
No, for all gifted people.
**[01:35] Rampo**
Of course.
**[01:37] Kuni**
Brat.
**[01:38] Naka**
Y-Yes?
**[01:39] Kuni**
Never mind the clean-up here.
**[01:41] Kuni**
Go with Rampo-san.
**[01:42] Kuni**
The place's close by train.
**[01:44] Naka**
M-Me as a detective's assistant?
**[01:47] Naka**
That's a great responsibility...
**[01:49] Rampo**
Of course not.
**[01:51] Rampo**
I'm not some two-bit detective.
**[01:53] Rampo**
I don't need an assistant.
**[01:54] Naka**
Then why am I going with you?
**[01:56] Rampo**
Well, see, I don't know
how to take the train.
**[02:00] Rampo**
**[03:32] Rampo**
Wow.
**[03:35] Naka**
*Honestly, I was surprised.*
**[03:37] Naka**
*He didn't know anything,*
**[03:38] Naka**
*including how to buy a ticket,*
**[03:40] Naka**
*how to get through the turnstile,*
**[03:41] Naka**
* and how to figure out which*

**[03:51] Mino**
You're late, agents.
**[03:53] Rampo**
Oh, who are you?
**[03:55] Rampo**
Where is Yasui-san?
***SIGN*** Kanagawa Prefecture Police
**[03:56] Mino**
I'm Minoura.
**[03:57] Mino**
I took this over from Yasui.
**[03:59] Mino**
This case has been reassigned
to our division.
**[04:02] Mino**
So we no longer need you or your agency.
**[04:04] Rampo**
How idiotic.
**[04:05] Rampo**
All the difficult cases in the world should be overseen
by a great detective as a matter of course.
**[04:09] Mino**
We won't need a
private investigator today.
**[04:12] Mino**
Because the victim is my subordinate.
**[04:23] Rampo**
A lady.
**[04:25] Sugi**
She was found floating in
the river this morning.
**[04:28] Mino**
She was shot three times in the chest.
**[04:31] Mino**
We don't know where or when she was killed.
**[04:33] Mino**
We haven't even found the bullets.
**[04:35] Rampo**
Any suspects?
**[04:37] Mino**
No.
**[04:38] Mino**
As far as anyone at the office knew,
**[04:40] Mino**
she was not in a relationship, either.
**[04:43] Rampo**
Does that mean you don't have any leads?
**[04:50] Mino**
That is all the more reason why
**[04:51] Mino**
we can't let some amateur private eye handle this.
**[04:54] ME**
Hey!
**[04:55] ME**
The nets caught something!
**[04:56] Naka**
What's that?
**[04:58] Sugi**
We've strung a net across the river
to catch any evidence, but...
**[05:03] ME**
It's a man!
**[05:04] ME**
We have man in the nets!
**[05:05] Mino**
What?!
**[05:05] Naka**
Could there be a second victim?
**[05:20] Dazai**
Hello, Atsushi-kun.
**[05:21] Dazai**
What a strange coincidence.
**[05:23] Naka**
A-Another drowning attempt?
**[05:25] Dazai**
What, committing suicide alone?
**[05:27] Dazai**
That's so passe, Atsushi-kun.
**[05:29] Dazai**
I have come to realize
**[05:31] Dazai**
that if I am to die,
I will die with a beautiful lady!
**[05:34] Dazai**
Ah, double suicide...
**[05:36] Dazai**
What a sweet ring it has.
**[05:37] Dazai**
In comparison,
**[05:38] Dazai**
it feels so empty to bid this world
farewell all by my lonesome.
**[05:42] Dazai**
So...
**[05:43] Dazai**
I'm currently on the lookout for a
beautiful woman who'll die with me!
**[05:47] Naka**
Huh?
**[05:47] Naka**
Then what was this about?
**[05:50] Dazai**
I was simply drifting along the river!
**[05:53] Naka**
I see.
**[05:54] Dazai**
By the way, Atsushi-kun,
**[05:56] Dazai**
what are you doing out here?
**[05:58] Naka**
I'm on a job.
**[06:00] Dazai**
A job?
**[06:01] Dazai**
What kind?
**[06:05] Dazai**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What tragedy...
**[06:07] Dazai**
What great tragedy this is,
**[06:09] Dazai**
that a young beautiful woman in
her prime has lost her life...
**[06:12] Dazai**
My sorrow is crushing my heart!
**[06:14] Dazai**
She may as well have committed
double suicide with me!
**[06:20] Mino**
Who the hell is he?
**[06:22] Rampo**
A colleague at the Agency.
**[06:24] Rampo**
That's just how he is.
**[06:26] Dazai**
But rest in peace, milady.
**[06:29] Dazai**
An extraordinary great
detective will avenge you.
**[06:33] Dazai**
Right, Rampo-san?
**[06:35] Rampo**
But I have yet to get the job itself.
**[06:38] Dazai**
What?
**[06:38] Dazai**
Why?
**[06:40] Rampo**
Ask this man.
**[06:42] Mino**
We have no need for private investigators.
**[06:44] Mino**
In fact, all of my subordinates are far
superior to any private detective.
**[06:49] Rampo**
Oh?
**[06:50] Rampo**
What's your name?
**[06:52] Sugi**
What?
**[06:53] Sugi**
I am Sergeant Sugimura.
**[06:55] Sugi**
The victim, Ms. Yamagiwa,
was my senior colleague!
**[06:58] Rampo**
All right, Sugimoto-kun.
**[07:00] Rampo**
Solve this case in sixty
seconds, starting now.
***SIGN*** 60 Seconds
**[07:03] Sugi**
What?!
**[07:04] Rampo**
I can solve it in under a minute.
**[07:06] Rampo**
If you're as good as he says you are,
you should be able to do the same.
**[07:10] Rampo**
Okay, give it a try, Sugimoto-kun!
**[07:13] Sugi**
What?!
**[07:14] Sugi**
Um, okay, well...
**[07:15] Sugi**
Sixty seconds is a bit
over the top, isn't it?!
**[07:17] Rampo**
Okay, fifty seconds left.
**[07:19] Sugi**
What?!
**[07:21] Naka**
*This is what I must be like.*
**[07:24] Sugi**
Oh, right.
**[07:25] Sugi**
Yamagiwa-senpai was pursuing
a political corruption case
**[07:29] Sugi**
and also investigating the Port Mafia.
**[07:31] Sugi**
I believe the murderer's M.O. is similar to
the Mafia's method of exacting retribution.
**[07:35] Sugi**
Maybe she was killed by the mafia
members she was investigating—
**[07:38] Dazai**
That's not true.
**[07:39] Sugi**
What?
**[07:40] Dazai**
The Port Mafia's retaliatory methods are as
highly specific as a government-issued ID.
**[07:47] Dazai**
First, the traitor is made
to bite the curb,
**[07:50] Dazai**
then they kick in the back of
his head to shatter his jaw.
**[07:54] Dazai**
As their victim writhes in agony,
**[07:56] Dazai**
they flip him over...
**[07:59] Dazai**
then shoot him in the chest three times.
**[08:01] Sugi**
If we're being precise, yes, but...
**[08:04] Dazai**
So this M.O. is similar to the
Mafia's, but not the same.
**[08:08] Dazai**
That means...
**[08:09] Mino**
An attempt at a cover-up?
**[08:11] Sugi**
Shooting two extra rounds
into the body just for that?
**[08:15] Sugi**
How cruel.
**[08:16] Rampo**
Beep!
**[08:18] Rampo**
Okay, time's up!
**[08:20] Rampo**
Too bad, you've got a ways to
go before you reach my level.
**[08:24] Rampo**
At the very least, this proved
that your subordinates
**[08:27] Rampo**
are not all superior to me.
**[08:30] Mino**
Cut the crap!
**[08:32] Mino**
You've been going on and on about
deduction and great detectives.
**[08:35] Mino**
You've been reading too much pulp fiction!
**[08:38] Mino**
Cases are solved by thorough investigations,
**[08:40] Mino**
interviewing persons of interest,
and analyzing the scene of the crime.
**[08:43] Rampo**
Huh?
**[08:44] Rampo**
When are you going to get it
through your thick skull?
**[08:46] Rampo**
Great detectives don't do "investigations."
**[08:48] Rampo**
My ability, Ultra-Deduction,
can instantly identify the killer
**[08:52] Rampo**
and when and how the murder was committed.
**[08:55] Rampo**
Furthermore,
**[08:57] Rampo**
I can see in my mind's eye how
I can make the killer confess,
**[08:59] Rampo**
and where the evidence lies,
as if it's an epiphany.
**[09:02] Rampo**
I am gifted, after all.
**[09:05] Mino**
Given my line of work,
**[09:06] Mino**
I know about the gifted's existence.
**[09:08] Mino**
But if you have such a convenient ability,
**[09:11] Mino**
why do my colleagues and I still have a job?
**[09:12] Rampo**
Right on!
**[09:14] Rampo**
You've finally caught up.
**[09:17] Mino**
You bastard!
**[09:18] Dazai**
Now, now, Detective.
**[09:20] Dazai**
Rampo-san's always like this.
***SIGN*** Personal Motto:
**[09:23] Rampo**
After all, my personal motto is,
***SIGN*** All's Well
***SIGN*** That's Well For Me!
**[09:26] Rampo**
"All's well that's well for me!"
***SIGN*** Personal Motto:
**[09:28] Naka**
* I've never heard a more convincing*
* personal motto in my life.*
***SIGN*** What's Better

***SIGN*** Personal Motto:
**[09:32] Dazai**

***SIGN*** Have a Pure, Cheerful,

**[09:35] Mino**
Since you speak so highly of it,
let's see this ability of yours.
**[09:39] Rampo**
Oh?
**[09:40] Rampo**
Is that a request for me
to take on the case?
**[09:41] Rampo**
You should've just asked me from the start.
**[09:44] Mino**
Heh, you have a lot of confidence
about this difficult case
**[09:48] Mino**
despite the lack of any evidence.
**[09:50] Mino**
Want me to count to sixty?
**[09:53] Rampo**
I don't need that long.
**[09:56] Dazai**
Watch closely, Atsushi-kun.
**[09:58] Dazai**
This is the ability that
keeps the Agency going.
**[10:01] Dazai**
Once he puts on those glasses,
**[10:02] Dazai**
Rampo-san's Ultra-Deduction is active.
**[10:05] Naka**
* Rampo-san's ability reveals*
* the truth about a case.*
**[10:08] Naka**
*Does such a gift really exist?*
**[10:17] Rampo**
Ability: Ultra-Deduction!
**[10:18] [SONG] Sign 1020**
Ultra-Deduction
**[10:34] Rampo**
I see.
**[10:35] Mino**
"I see," my ass.
**[10:37] Mino**
You're trying to imply you
know who the killer is?
**[10:40] Rmapo**
Of course.
**[10:41] Mino**
Huh?
**[10:43] Rampo**
The killer...
**[10:51] Rampo**
...is you.
**[10:52] Rampo**
***SIGN*** That's right.
**[10:56] Rampo**
That's right.
***SIGN*** The killer...
**[10:57] Rampo**
The killer...
**[11:00] Rampo**
The killer is you,
**[11:02] Rampo**
Sergeant Sugimoto.
**[11:04] Sugi**
What?
**[11:05] Naka**
Rampo-san?
**[11:08] Mino**
Sergeant Sugimoto is my subordinate.
**[11:10] Rampo**
Sergeant Sugimoto is the one who killed her.
**[11:13] Mino**
Don't be stupid!
**[11:14] Mino**
It's impossible that the killer would happen
to be this close by in the first place!
**[11:17] Rampo**
It's exactly because he is the killer
**[11:18] Rampo**
that he wants to stay close
to the investigation.
**[11:20] Rampo**
Besides, didn't I mention this?
**[11:23] Rampo**
I also know where the evidence lies.
**[11:27] Rampo**
Lend me your gun, will you?
**[11:28] Sugi**
Y-You've got to be kidding.
**[11:30] Sugi**
The penalty for handing a government-issue
firearm to a civilian
**[11:33] Sugi**
is far worse than a pay cut.
**[11:35] Mino**
And here I was hoping you'd have a point.
**[11:37] Mino**
Are you private investigators just talk?
**[11:40] Rampo**
If we examine that gun and come up empty,
**[11:42] Rampo**
then sure, I'm just an
idiot running my mouth.
**[11:47] Mino**
I've had enough of listening to you!
**[11:49] Mino**
Show him, Sugimoto!
**[11:51] Sugi**
But...
**[11:52] Mino**
He's barked up this tree as far as he can go.
**[11:54] Mino**
If we prove him wrong,
he'll shut up and go home.
**[11:56] Mino**
We can't waste any more time.
**[11:59] Mino**
Show him your gun!
**[12:03] Mino**
Hey, what's the matter, Sugimoto?
**[12:05] Rampo**
Even in this city,
**[12:06] Rampo**
it isn't easy for an amateur
to get spare ammo...
**[12:10] Rampo**
even harder if the firearm
is a government-issue.
**[12:12] Mino**
Why aren't you saying anything, Sugimoto?!
**[12:15] Rampo**
He's thinking furiously right now
**[12:18] Rampo**
about the three bullets he's used,
**[12:21] Rampo**
and how he'll explain their absence.
**[12:24] Mino**
Sugimoto!
**[12:25] Mino**
You can't be the killer!
**[12:27] Mino**
Show us your gun, now!
**[12:38] Mino**
That's right, Sugimoto.
**[12:42] Dazai**
Not good.
**[12:44] Mino**
Sugimoto!
**[12:45] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun!
**[12:45] Dazai**
Go!
**[12:46] Naka**
What?!
**[12:47] Mino**
Stop!
**[12:55] Mino**
Let me go!
**[12:55] Mino**
I have nothing to do with this!
**[12:57] Rampo**
Running away won't help.
**[13:00] Rampo**
The murder took place
early yesterday morning
**[13:02] Rampo**
at the abandoned shipyard,
140 meters upstream from here.
**[13:07] Sugi**
How'd you know that?
**[13:08] Rampo**
If we go there, we should be able to
find yours and the victim's footprints,
**[13:12] Rampo**
as well as the bloodstains you
couldn't fully erase.
**[13:16] Sugi**
How?
**[13:17] Sugi**
No one could've known.
**[13:20] Mino**
Let's hear the rest back at the office.
**[13:22] Mino**
It may be the last time it'll
be your place of work...
**[13:31] Sugi**
I didn't intend to shoot her.
**[13:34] Sugi**
She...
**[13:36] Sugi**
She was going after a certain
politician for corruption.
**[13:39] Sugi**
What they didn't predict
**[13:41] Sugi**
was that she actually found evidence
of a major Diet member's crime.
**[13:46] Sugi**
However, the Diet member was savvy
**[13:48] Sugi**
and tried to use a mole inside the police
**[13:50] Sugi**
to get rid of the evidence.
**[13:52] Rampo**
And you're that spy.
**[13:55] Sugi**
I'd always wanted to
become a police officer.
**[13:58] Sugi**
After my third time failing
the exam, I was depressed.
**[14:01] Sugi**
That was when a man reached out to me,
**[14:04] Sugi**
asking me if I was willing to
do anything to become a cop.
**[14:07] Sugi**
After joining the police force
with the Diet member's help,
**[14:11] Sugi**
I had to follow his orders in return.
**[14:14] Mino**
So you killed Yamagiwa as one of his dogs?!
**[14:18] Sugi**
That's not what happened!
**[14:19] Sugi**
I was trying to warn her.
**[14:22] Sugi**
I told her she'd get herself killed
if she didn't give up the evidence.
**[14:26] Sugi**
But she...
**[14:29] (Flashback) Sugi**
Yamagiwa-san, he's taking
this very seriously.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Yama**
Then I'll just have to take
him very seriously, too.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Yama**
I've already made contact
with a prosecutor I know.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Yama**
I just need to hand over the evidence.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Yama**
Sugimoto-kun?
**[14:41] (Flashback) Sugi**
Please hand over the evidence.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Sugi**
If I fail in this,
**[14:46] (Flashback) Sugi**
he'll call a hit man.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Sugi**
We have to stop this, now!
**[14:49] (Flashback) Yama**
Hand over the gun, Sugimoto-kun.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Yama**
You can't shoot me.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Sugi**
That's right.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Sugi**
That's why...
**[15:00] (Flashback) Sugi**
I'll choose a different
way to force your hand!
**[15:01] (Flashback) Yama**
Don't!
**[15:02] (Flashback) Yama**
Sugimoto-kun!
**[15:31] Rampo**
If you do nothing,
you'll be convicted as a killer.
**[15:33] Rampo**
You'll be fired from your job.
**[15:35] Rampo**
In a panic, you could only think of one
person to go to for help. How ironic.
**[15:41] Rampo**
When you called the Diet member,
**[15:43] Rampo**
he told you how to destroy the evidence.
**[15:44] Rampo**
Just as you were told to, you fired
two more shots into her chest
**[15:48] Rampo**
to make it seem like the Mafia's had done it.
**[15:56] Rampo**
You set her adrift in the
river to delay discovery.
**[16:05] Mino**
Where is the evidence Yamagiwa obtained?
**[16:08] Mino**
That Diet member's responsible
for Yamagiwa's death!
**[16:11] Mino**
Tell me, Sugimoto!
**[16:13] Rampo**
Hey, Sugimoto-kun.
**[16:17] Rampo**
Want me to guess what her
final words to you were?
**[16:23] Rampo**
It was "I'm sorry," wasn't it?
**[16:28] (Flashback) Yama**
I'm... sorry...
**[16:36] Sugi**
You really...
**[16:40] Sugi**
see through everything, don't you.
**[16:44] Sugi**
The evidence is in my desk drawer.
**[16:50] Mino**
Thanks, I guess.
**[16:53] Mino**
Also, I'm sorry I doubted your capabilities.
**[16:57] Mino**
If we run into another difficult case,
we'll be asking you for help.
**[17:00] Rampo**
If you need my abilities,
**[17:02] Rampo**
ask me any time.
**[17:04] Rampo**
I'll give you a discount next time.
**[17:07] Mino**
That'll be helpful.
**[17:10] Naka**
Rampo-san was amazing.
**[17:13] Naka**
I had no idea he'd figure everything out.
**[17:16] Naka**
His ability, Ultra-Deduction,
is super amazing.
**[17:19] Dazai**
I might've figured out half of it, too.
**[17:22] Naka**
Half of what?
**[17:23] Dazai**
About that case just now...
**[17:25] Dazai**
About how Rampo-san figured it out.
**[17:27] Naka**
Oh, but he said his ability lets
him figure it out instantly...
**[17:31] Dazai**
Oh, right, you don't know yet.
**[17:35] Dazai**
Actually, Rampo-san isn't gifted.
**[17:39] Naka**
Huh?!
**[17:40] Dazai**
Rampo-san is a very rare
ungifted civilian at the agency.
**[17:47] Dazai**
He himself seems to believe
he's using an ability, but...
**[17:51] Dazai**
Oh, and despite his appearance,
he's 26 years old.
**[17:54] Naka**
What?
**[17:55] Dazai**
The reason why everyone at the
Agency respects Rampo-san
**[17:58] Dazai**
is because they know his
Ultra-Deduction isn't an ability.
**[18:01] Dazai**
I'd heard of it, myself,
**[18:03] Dazai**
but I only witnessed its
power first-hand today.
**[18:06] Dazai**
To tell you the truth,
**[18:08] Dazai**
while he was "using" his
Ultra-Deduction ability today,
**[18:11] Dazai**
I was secretly pinching his hair behind him.
**[18:16] Dazai**
As you well know,
**[18:17] Dazai**
I can neutralize anyone's ability if
I touch them... I'm anti-gifted.
**[18:23] Dazai**
No gifted can ever use their ability
while I am touching any part of them,
**[18:28] Dazai**
no matter how strong their powers may be.
**[18:30] Dazai**
In other words,
**[18:31] Dazai**
his Ultra-Deduction is not an ability.
**[18:35] Naka**
It's not?
**[18:36] Naka**
Then how'd he...
**[18:38] Dazai**
It's just deduction, pure and simple.
**[18:42] Naka**
But how?
**[18:43] Naka**
He figured out who the killer was
in such a short amount of time!
**[18:47] Naka**
Is mere deduction enough to
make such a thing possible?
**[18:50] Dazai**
Right.
**[18:51] Dazai**
I could tell, too, actually.
**[18:53] Dazai**
Remember what Sergeant Sugimoto said?
**[18:56] (Flashback) Sugi**
Shooting two extra rounds
into the body just for that?
***SIGN*** Illustration
**[18:59] Dazai**
Anyone who saw a body
with three gunshot wounds
**[19:02] Dazai**
would assume they were fired at the same time.
**[19:06] Naka**
Oh...
**[19:06] Dazai**
In other words,
**[19:07] Dazai**
he knew that the victim had
perished from the first shot.
**[19:11] Dazai**
How could he have known
that before an autopsy?
**[19:14] Naka**
Only if he was the killer...
**[19:16] Naka**
But Rampo-san also knew when it happened...
**[19:19] Naka**
Early yesterday morning.
**[19:21] Dazai**
That's because the body was
still in good condition.
**[19:25] Dazai**
So, at most, it'd only been
floating in the river for a day.
**[19:28] Dazai**
Yesterday was Tuesday, a weekday.
**[19:30] Dazai**
But the victim wasn't wearing any makeup.
**[19:33] Dazai**
A detective working long hours,
often late into the night,
**[19:35] Dazai**
would only be like that on a weekday
**[19:37] Dazai**
if the murder had occurred
in the early morning.
**[19:39] Naka**
I see.
**[19:41] Naka**
But how did he know about
the crime scene's location,
**[19:42] Naka**
and that she was threatened with a gun?
**[19:45] Dazai**
That, I don't know.
**[19:47] Dazai**
Rampo-san probably caught a lot
more details than I could hope to.
**[19:52] Naka**
That's true.
**[19:54] Naka**
He even guessed her final words.
**[19:57] Dazai**
Oh, that.
**[20:01] Dazai**
She supposedly wasn't seeing anyone,
**[20:05] Dazai**
but her wristwatch was an
overseas brand-name item.
**[20:09] Dazai**
It's not something a single woman
would buy for herself.
**[20:13] Dazai**
And Sergeant Sugimoto's watch was the
men's version of the same model.
**[20:18] Naka**
Then they were...
**[20:21] Dazai**
She went to see him early
in the morning when he reached out,
**[20:23] Dazai**
without bothering to put on makeup.
**[20:25] Dazai**
And their watches are of the same model...
**[20:30] Dazai**
They were dating.
**[20:34] Dazai**
That's why he couldn't kick her head in,
**[20:39] Dazai**
even though he knew it wouldn't
look like the Mafia's work.
**[20:47] Dazai**
The ability to see through all that
**[20:49] Dazai**
would be par for the course if it
were an actual ability.
**[20:53] Dazai**
Nothing more, nothing less.
**[20:55] Dazai**
But if it's due to his personal powers
of deduction, that's a different story.
**[21:00] Dazai**
He's solved dozens of cases in the past.
**[21:04] Dazai**
In every case,
**[21:06] Dazai**
he was able to instantly determine the truth
of the matter with the slimmest of leads.
**[21:13] Dazai**
He's never been wrong, either.
**[21:16] Dazai**
What a great man.
**[21:18] Rampo**
Hey, guide!
**[21:21] Rampo**
I can't find my way back to the
Agency on my own, you know!
**[21:24] Naka**
I think I kind of get it now...
**[21:27] Naka**
Why everyone at the Agency
trusts Rampo-san so much.
**[21:36] Rampo**
All's well that's well for me!

**[04:10] Dazai**
That's a concern.
**[04:12] Naka**
Is it okay for me to come along?
**[04:14] Kuni**
This is part of your rookie training.
**[04:16] Kuni**
This case involves solving a series
of disappearances in Yokohama.
**[04:21] Naka**
If I recall, it's the one
where visitors to Yokohama
**[04:24] Naka**
keep disappearing one after another, right?
**[04:27] Kuni**
We have an anonymous tip.
**[04:30] Kuni**
The victims have been abducted and
imprisoned in a certain location.
**[04:34] Dazai**
An anonymous tip...
**[04:36] Dazai**
How suspicious and wonderful.
**[04:39] Kuni**
But we can't ignore it.
**[04:41] Naka**
So we're going to check the place out?
**[04:44] Kuni**
No.
**[04:48] Kuni**
We're going to investigate the
anonymous tip's source first.
**[04:57] Kuni**
How goes it, informant?
**[04:59] Roku**
Hey, four-eyes. Are you a slave
to your notebook yet again?
**[05:03] Kuni**
You think you can talk like
that to a detective agency
**[05:06] Kuni**
when you're a cyber criminal?
**[05:08] Kuni**
If you're arrested,
**[05:10] Kuni**
your deceased father will be most aggrieved.
**[05:12] Roku**
Don't bring my father into this.
**[05:15] Roku**
More importantly, you're late.
**[05:17] Roku**
Isn't that unusual for you?
**[05:18] Roku**
Why?
**[05:19] Roku**
Were you on a date with a pretty lady?
**[05:21] Kuni**
No!
**[05:22] Kuni**
Dates should be with a chosen woman,
**[05:25] Kuni**
followed by marriage six years later.
**[05:26] Kuni**
That is what's written in this notebook.

**[05:47] Kuni**
Did you figure out who's

The Azure Messenger...
**[05:51] Kuni**

**[05:52] Roku**
There was data left on the server.

And pics of the abduction victims, I guess.
**[05:58] Roku**
The mole's not a bad guy, though, is he?
**[06:01] Roku**
He told you where they're holed up and all.
**[06:04] Dazai**
I wonder...
**[06:05] Dazai**
I hope we don't go there, only to
find he's one of the kidnappers.

**[06:27] Kuni**
We'll go to the abandoned hospital
mentioned by the tipster now.
**[06:30] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun, why are you
looking after the Rokuzou boy?
**[06:34] Kuni**
What do you mean?
**[06:36] Dazai**
It's not like you to give a hacker jobs.
**[06:40] Dazai**
You could've just talked
to him over the phone,
**[06:42] Dazai**
but you took the time to
meet him face to face.
**[06:44] Dazai**
His father's deceased, isn't he?
**[06:47] Dazai**
Are you trying to be his dad?
**[06:49] Kuni**
We came here so that Atsushi
could meet our informant.
**[06:53] Kuni**
That's all there is to it.
**[06:55] Dazai**
Sure, let's leave it at that.
**[07:03] Kuni**
This driver's another one of our informants.
**[07:06] Kuni**
He was a stage actor in his former life.
**[07:07] Driver**
I couldn't make any money,
**[07:09] Driver**
so I switched careers.
**[07:11] Kuni**
That was the right decision.
**[07:13] Kuni**
He knows more about Yokohama
than anyone I know.
**[07:18] Kuni**
He also saw two of the eleven victims
right before they were abducted.
**[07:25] Driver**
I just happened to drive them
from the port to a hotel.
**[07:29] Naka**
Is this case really about
abductions, though?
**[07:32] Naka**
There've been no requests for ransom.
**[07:34] Kuni**
Are you sure these two
were the ones you saw?
**[07:36] Driver**
Yes, I'm sure of it.
**[07:39] Driver**
They're even wearing the same clothes, too.
**[07:41] Dazai**
I see.
**[07:42] Dazai**
I have a hunch!
**[07:44] Dazai**
Look at these photos.
They're both wearing glasses!
**[07:47] Dazai**
That means this is a serial
glasses abduction case!
**[07:49] Dazai**
It's your time to shine, Kunikida-kun!
**[07:52] Kuni**
Some of the victims don't wear glasses.
**[07:55] Kuni**
You can't say it's a pattern.
**[07:57] Dazai**
Oh.
**[07:58] Dazai**
Too bad. And here I thought it'd
finally be your time to shine.
**[08:01] Kuni**
I can't let that remark pass.
**[08:04] Kuni**
Are you trying to say my glasses are the
only reason I'd ever be in the spotlight?!
**[08:09] Kuni**
Wh-What?!
**[08:11] Driver**
We're here.
**[08:13] Driver**
It's the abandoned hospital, as you requested.
**[08:15] Dazai**
What a nice atmosphere.
**[08:17] Kuni**
**[08:18] Dazai**
I think it might be haunted.
**[08:19] Kuni**
By what?
**[08:23] Naka**
It is creepy, to be sure.
**[08:25] Dazai**
It's kind of nice.
**[08:27] Dazai**
It revs you up.
**[08:29] Kuni**
You'd better not have eaten
another weird mushroom.
**[08:31] Dazai**
Oh, are you scared, Kunikida-kun?
**[08:34] Naka**
Are you afraid of ghosts or something?
**[08:36] Kuni**
I'm not afraid of ghosts!
**[08:38] Dazai**
Then keep up.

I'm sorry.
**[09:30] Nobuko**
I blacked out at a station.
**[09:32] Nobuko**
When I regained consciousness,

I was drowning in the tank, as you just saw.

Sasaki-san's looking super sexy.

Oh, right...

**[11:28] Dazai**

**[11:30] Naka**
I-Is that something detectives
are allowed to do?
**[11:34] Dazai**
It seems Sasaki-san didn't see who it was.
**[11:38] Dazai**
She apparently faints a
lot due to anemia.
**[11:41] Dazai**
That's why she fainted on
the day she was abducted, too.
**[11:45] Dazai**
I don't know how she was abducted afterward.
**[11:48] Kuni**
So she's your type?
**[11:50] Dazai**

But what about you, Kunikida-kun?

They only scream "con man" to me.
**[13:14] Kuni**
Wait...
**[13:16] Dazai**
What's the matter?
**[13:19] Kuni**
Let's go, both of you.
**[13:22] Kuni**
I know who's behind this.
**[13:26] Kuni**
Sorry for the short notice.
**[13:28] Driver**
You said on the phone that you'd figured
out who's behind the serial murder case.
**[13:32] Driver**
You're on your way to arrest the killer?
**[13:35] Kuni**
That's right.
**[13:36] Driver**
Then let's hurry.
**[13:37] Driver**
Where to?
**[13:39] Kuni**
Here.
**[13:40] Driver**
Huh?
**[13:41] Kuni**
This is where the abductions took place,
**[13:42] Kuni**
and you are the kidnapper.
**[13:44] Kuni**
You dosed passengers with sleeping gas,
**[13:47] Kuni**
and abduct them after they fell unconscious.
**[13:50] Kuni**
You wore a gas mask.
**[13:52] Naka**
What were his reasons?
**[13:54] Dazai**
I can think of one.
**[13:57] Dazai**
Cargo.
**[13:58] Naka**
Cargo?
**[13:59] Dazai**
He'd sell them off.
**[14:02] Dazai**
There's a black market for
organs in the underground.
**[14:06] Dazai**
The margin isn't great because of the exchange rate,
**[14:10] Dazai**
but if you're pulling it off alone,
it's a decent payout.
**[14:13] Naka**
That's horrible.
**[14:14] Driver**
Wait a minute.
**[14:15] Driver**
Hang on.
**[14:17] Driver**
If I'd used this taxi to abduct people,
**[14:19] Driver**
the city police would've found me already
when tracing the victims' last known locations.
**[14:22] Kuni**
No, no one looked twice at this taxi.
**[14:26] Kuni**
Because all the victims would vanish and
become untraceable the following day.
**[14:32] Kuni**
When your targets boarded the taxi
and you made them unconscious,
**[14:35] Kuni**
you'd imprison them and take
their clothes and luggage.
**[14:39] Kuni**
That's why all the victims at the
hospital were in their underwear.
**[14:43] Kuni**
You would then wear their clothes
**[14:45] Kuni**
to disguise yourself as them,
**[14:47] Kuni**
then check into the hotels where
they'd made reservations.
**[14:49] Kuni**
You made sure you would show up on
security cameras for that reason.
**[14:52] Kuni**
The victims were all of approximately
the same height and build
**[14:55] Kuni**
because you were choosing passengers
you could impersonate.
**[14:59] Kuni**
Many wore hats and glasses
**[15:02] Kuni**
because that made passing
yourself off as them easier.
**[15:05] Kuni**
If the security feeds show someone
looking reasonably like the victim,
**[15:09] Kuni**
you can dupe the police easily.
**[15:11] Kuni**
By the time the last known sighting
of the "victim" was recorded,
**[15:15] Kuni**
the real victim had already been abducted.
**[15:18] Dazai**
Ms. Sasaki's abduction was
even easier, wasn't it?
**[15:22] Dazai**
After she collapsed at the train station,
**[15:24] Dazai**
a good Samaritan paid for her cab ride.
**[15:28] Dazai**
It's faster to hail a cab than call
an ambulance at a train station.
**[15:31] Driver**
That's all circumstantial evidence.
**[15:34] Dazai**
I suppose.
**[15:36] Dazai**
You're right.
**[15:39] Dazai**
What now, Kunikida-kun?
**[15:41] Kuni**
Are you being serious?
**[15:43] Driver**
Let's make a deal.
**[15:45] Kuni**
A deal?
**[15:46] Driver**
If you agree to my conditions,
I'll turn myself in.
**[15:49] Driver**
Please protect me at the
Armed Detective Agency!
**[15:52] Driver**
I need to be protected for 72 hours while
the prosecution concludes their questioning
**[15:56] Driver**
and arranges witness protection.
**[15:58] Kuni**
What's this about?
**[15:59] Driver**
I was put up to this.
**[16:02] Driver**
I was assured by a new-fangled
organ smuggling organization
**[16:04] Driver**
that this was a great deal I'd
never get caught for, and yet...
**[16:09] Kuni**
So there's a group behind all this?
**[16:10] Kuni**
Where are they?!
**[16:12] Driver**
I don't know.
**[16:13] Driver**
I always meet them in the
Harbor Central Building.
**[16:17] Kuni**
So that's the place.
**[16:18] Dazai**
And?
**[16:19] Dazai**
Why do you need our protection?
**[16:21] Driver**
Well...
**[16:22] Driver**
It appears one of the people I abducted
**[16:24] Driver**
was with the Port Mafia.
**[16:27] Dazai**
Well, that's not good—
**[16:33] Kuni**
The Port Mafia?!
**[16:34] Driver**
Help me!
**[16:35] Kuni**
Hey!

Kunikida-san.
**[16:41] Naka**
I can't get a signal.
**[16:42] Dazai**
They must be jamming.
**[16:44] Kuni**
If we lose the driver,
**[16:45] Kuni**
the truth may never come to light.
**[16:47] Kuni**
Dazai, pursue the driver.
**[16:48] Kuni**
Brat, get a hold of the
police and request backup.
**[16:51] Kuni**

**[19:22] Naka**
I'd heard that the Azure King
blew himself up in the end.
**[19:25] Naka**
So this was the place.
**[19:27] Naka**
He committed suicide after the

**[19:31] Kuni**
That's right.

**[19:43] Kuni**
the military, the public safety bureau, and
the police were all working in tandem,
**[19:46] Kuni**
so the chain of command was in utter chaos.
**[19:49] Kuni**
Only five detectives arrived at the hideout
in a timely manner upon receiving the report.
**[19:55] Kuni**
To add further insult to injury,
**[19:56] Kuni**
the Azure King got wind
of the police's actions,
**[20:01] Kuni**
so he holed himself up with a bomb.
**[20:04] Kuni**
After a conflicting set of orders,
**[20:07] Kuni**
a decision was made to raid.
**[20:09] Kuni**
But ordinary policemen without special
training or abilities didn't stand a chance.
**[20:17] Kuni**
Cornered, the Azure King blew
himself up and perished,
**[20:20] Kuni**
along with the five detectives.
**[20:23] Dazai**
I remember now, Kunikida-kun.
**[20:25] Dazai**
One of the detectives was that
Rokuzou boy's father, wasn't he?
**[20:31] Kuni**
He was a good detective with
a strong sense of justice.
**[20:35] Kuni**
I'm the one who reported the
hideout's location to the police.
**[20:38] Kuni**
I may as well have set the bomb off myself.
**[20:40] Naka**
That's not true!
**[20:42] Naka**
It's the terrorist's fault
for blowing himself up!
**[20:44] Dazai**
That's right, Atsushi-kun.
**[20:46] Dazai**
Yet Kunikida-kun can't stop trying
to look out for the Rokuzou boy...
**[20:52] Dazai**
in his deceased father's stead.
**[20:57] Naka**
What is it?
**[21:02] Kuni**
Another job for the Agency.
**[21:04] Kuni**
The client...
***SIGN*** Regards,
The Azure Messenger
**[21:06] Kuni**
is the Azure Messenger.
**[21:07] Dazai**
I see.
**[21:09] Dazai**
I'm starting to see who
this Azure Messenger is.
**[21:12] Dazai**
So? What's the job?
**[21:14] Kuni**
Disarming a bomb.
**[21:15] Naka**
A bomb?
**[21:16] Kuni**
If we don't disarm the
bomb by sunset tomorrow,
**[21:19] Kuni**
several hundred people will die.
**[21:21] Naka**
A bomb capable of that can't be easy...
**[21:23] Kuni**
The equipment here is for building a bomb.
**[21:27] Kuni**
With this setup,
**[21:28] Kuni**
you could build a very advanced bomb.
**[21:31] Naka**
But...
**[21:33] Kuni**
Don't worry. We won't let the bomb go off.
**[21:36] Kuni**
We'll stop it for sure this time!
**[21:39] Kuni**
**[23:10] Naka**
What should we do?
**[23:12] Naka**
If we don't find and disarm
the bomb by sundown,
**[23:14] Naka**
there will be hundreds of casualties.
**[23:16] ?**
If we cannot find the bomb
**[23:18] ?**
and lives are lost,
**[23:20] ?**
we no longer have the right to call
ourselves a detective agency.
**[23:22] Naka**
Oh, President.
**[23:24] ?**
Think of this mission as a fight for
the Agency's existence and pride.
**[23:28] ?**
Begin the investigation!
**[23:29] Naka**
Man, where'd Dazai-san run
off to now, of all times?

***SIGN*** Azure Messenger Bomb Threat Incident
First Investigation Meeting
Armed Detective Agency Conference Room
**[00:03] Kuni**
At present, we have an unidentified
criminal organization
**[00:06] Kuni**
threatening to detonate a large
bomb in a metropolitan area
**[00:09] Kuni**
and launch a smear campaign
against the Agency.
**[00:12] Yosano**
I know the Agency's between
a rock and a hard place.
**[00:15] Yosano**
Tell us more about the bomb.
**[00:18] Kuni**
This is the message left
behind by the perpetrator.
**[00:22] Kuni**
I'll read it now.
**[00:23] Kuni**
"Greetings, I hope your
agency is faring well."
**[00:28] Kuni**
"Forgive my impudence, but I have placed a bomb"
**[00:32] Kuni**
"capable of causing mass destruction in a
certain location here in Yokohama City."
**[00:36] Kuni**
"To secure the citizens' safety,"
**[00:39] Kuni**
"I request that you locate and disarm
the bomb at your earliest convenience."
**[00:44] Kuni**
"You have until sundown."
**[00:46] Kuni**
"I have faith in your abilities."
**[00:48] Kuni**
"Respectfully, the Azure Messenger."
**[00:50] Fuku**
Who could the Azure Messenger be?
**[00:53] Kuni**
We don't know as of yet.
**[00:55] Yosano**
So it's all rigged so that
if the bomb detonates,
**[00:58] Yosano**
word of the Agency's failure
will spread like wildfire.
**[01:02] Yosano**
The Agency can weather sticks and stones,
**[01:06] Yosano**
but this type of attack would hit us hard.
**[01:10] Haruno**
Since yesterday, the office staff have
been searching for plausible locations,
**[01:14] Haruno**
but there are too many possibilities.
**[01:16] Kenji**
Hey.
**[01:17] Kenji**
Are we still unable to reach Rampo-san?
**[01:20] Haruno**
It seems the case in Kyuushuu
is coming to a head.
**[01:23] Haruno**
I've requested he contact us as
soon as the criminal is caught, but...
**[01:27] Fuku**
Any further information
from that taxi driver?
**[01:30] Kuni**
He denies any knowledge of the bomb.
**[01:33] Kuni**
He wouldn't have it in him
to blow up Yokohama itself.
**[01:37] Fuku**
Listen, all!
**[01:39] Fuku**
This case is a cowardly act using information
to attack the Armed Detective Agency.
**[01:44] Fuku**
We have two objectives:
**[01:46] Fuku**
uncover the Azure Messenger, the instigator,
**[01:49] Fuku**
and disarm the bomb.
**[01:51] Fuku**
The bomb takes priority due
to its time-sensitive nature.
**[01:54] Fuku**
If we cannot find the
bomb and lives are lost,
**[01:58] Fuku**
we no longer have the right to call
ourselves a detective agency.
**[02:02] Fuku**
Think of this mission as a fight for
the Agency's existence and pride.
**[02:14] Roku**
* What time do you think*
* it is, idiot four-eyes?!*
**[02:17] Kuni**
You're the only one I know
who's still sleeping at 9:00 a.m.
**[02:20] Kuni**
Do you think you can find the Azure Messenger,
the one who sent us that message?
**[02:24] Roku**
Aren't you calling because you had
something else you wanted to ask me?
**[02:29] Kuni**
*So you know everything.*
**[02:31] Roku**
I only know what I actually know.
**[02:34] Kuni**
* I want to ask you about tracing*
* the bomb-building equipment.*
**[02:37] Kuni**
*I'll send you the shipping manifest.*
**[02:39] Roku**
A bomb?
**[02:40] Roku**
Things are looking up for you guys.
**[02:41] Kuni**
*Cut the small talk and get cracking.*
**[02:44] Roku**
Oh?
**[02:45] Kuni**
This is to save lives.
**[02:48] Kuni**
You may be regularly indulging
in illicit activities,
**[02:51] Kuni**
but you should make yourself useful
to society sometimes.
**[02:53] Roku**
*Get off your high horse.*
**[02:55] Roku**
*You're not my dad.*
**[03:01] Kuni**
No...
***SIGN*** Episode 7: Love for the Disease Called Ideals
**[03:04] Kuni**
I can never be your father.
**[03:08] Nobuko**
Are you sure about this?
**[03:10] Nobuko**
The Agency seemed hectic
due to the bomb threat.
**[03:14] Nobuko**
Kunikida-sama seemed very busy, as well.
**[03:17] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun is a workhorse.
**[03:20] Dazai**
After all, he always spends two
hours before going to sleep
**[03:23] Dazai**
reviewing and revising his notes.
**[03:24] Dazai**
I doubt I could stand doing
that for two minutes.
**[03:26] Dazai**
Maybe he's got some solider ants
working for him in his brain—
**[03:30] Dazai**
Oh, I didn't know you
were here, Kunikida-kun.
**[03:32] Kuni**
How could you ditch the
meeting during an emergency
**[03:34] Kuni**
and go on a fancy afternoon date?
**[03:37] Dazai**
Are you jealous of the fancy date?
**[03:40] Kuni**
I'm not!
**[03:40] Naka**
*So he is.*
**[03:42] Dazai**
She's a victim who was nearly killed.
**[03:46] Dazai**
Ensuring her safety and tending
to her psychological well-being
**[03:49] Dazai**
is an important and urgent duty
for the Agency, wouldn't you say?
**[03:53] Kuni**
Why are you, the poster child for sloth and
irresponsibility, a good fit for the task?
**[03:58] Kuni**
Besides, given her good looks,
**[04:01] Kuni**
I'd assume she has a boyfriend at least.
**[04:03] Dazai**
Apparently, they broke up recently.
**[04:07] Dazai**
That's why, Kunikida-kun,
**[04:08] Dazai**
I say you can do this!
**[04:09] Kuni**
Listen, Dazai!
**[04:11] Kuni**
I came here because you skipped
out on the morning meeting
**[04:15] Kuni**
and I need to tell you what's going on.
**[04:17] Dazai**
I know what's going on.
**[04:20] Dazai**
The goal of the Azure Messenger
who set the bomb
**[04:23] Dazai**
is to crush the Agency.
**[04:25] Nobuko**
Um...
**[04:26] Nobuko**
Are you sure an outsider like
me should be hearing this?
**[04:31] Naka**
Not really...
**[04:32] Dazai**
Sasaki-san's a person of
interest in this case.
**[04:34] Dazai**
There's no issue here.
**[04:35] Naka**
What?
**[04:36] Dazai**
Sasaki-san, what's the class you
teach at the university again?
**[04:40] Nobuko**
Social psychology.
**[04:41] Dazai**
That's great.
**[04:43] Dazai**
I'd love to hear what you
think about this case.
**[04:47] Nobuko**
About the Azure Messenger...
**[04:51] Nobuko**
It may have something to
do with the Azure King
**[04:54] Nobuko**
in the notorious Azure
Flag Terrorist incident.
**[04:57] Dazai**
So you think that, as well.
**[04:59] Nobuko**
It could very well be the
Azure King himself.
**[05:02] Nobuko**
It's said that he blew himself up after
being cornered by the police, but...
**[05:06] Nobuko**
it's possible he faked his death
**[05:08] Nobuko**
and is still alive.
**[05:10] AK**
*This world is incomplete.*
**[05:13] AK**
*One may grieve or pray,*
**[05:14] AK**
* but people still die from*
* accidental circumstance,*
**[05:16] AK**
* and evil goes unpunished to*
* flourish freely in this world.*
**[05:20] Nobuko**
A former official,
**[05:22] Nobuko**
the Azure King set off a bomb in a
government facility and issued a statement.
**[05:26] Nobuko**
His targets included killers whose cases were
dropped due to incompetent prosecutors,
**[05:30] Nobuko**
as well as diet members who were engaged in
political corruption on a global scale...
**[05:35] Nobuko**
All dangerous criminals untouchable by law.
**[05:37] AK**
*Then I shall desire the ideal world.*
**[05:41] AK**
* It will be built not by*
* the divine hand of God*
**[05:43] AK**
*but by our own bloodied fingers...*
**[05:48] Naka**
But if the Azure King is alive...
**[05:51] Naka**
why would he attack the Agency like this?
**[05:54] Nobuko**
I have no idea.
**[05:55] Dazai**
Well, the one who backed the
Azure King into a corner
**[05:58] Dazai**
is Kunikida-kun, who located his hideout.
**[06:01] Dazai**
I see.
**[06:03] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun is the target
of vengeance here.
**[06:05] Kuni**
The terrorist's death was confirmed by the
military police after forensic analysis.
**[06:11] Kuni**
There's no doubting it.
**[06:12] Dazai**
Either way,
**[06:13] Dazai**
you should stay on your guard
until you figure out who it is.
**[06:17] Dazai**
We'll need to hide Sasaki-san
somewhere safe, as well.
**[06:19] Kuni**
That I will not allow, Dazai!
**[06:21] Dazai**
What do you mean?
**[06:23] Kuni**
You think you can keep a lady in your room
**[06:25] Kuni**
in the name of personal safety?
**[06:27] Kuni**
And day and night, do such
and such unthinkable things?!
**[06:29] Dazai**
Nothing like what you're imagining
is happening, though.
**[06:31] Kuni**
Shame on you!
**[06:32] Kuni**
Huh?
**[06:33] Dazai**
When I first let her stay,
**[06:35] Dazai**
I slept in an adjoining room
**[06:37] Dazai**
and didn't lay a finger on her, of course.
**[06:39] Dazai**
Well, I knew you misunderstood,
**[06:43] Dazai**
but I thought it was funny
so I didn't correct you.
**[06:45] Naka**
I really wonder why these two are partners.
**[06:51] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun seems to like Sasaki-san a lot.
**[06:55] Dazai**
Sasaki-san, what type of man do you like?
**[06:58] Nabuko**
T-Type?
**[07:00] Nabuko**
It would be presumptuous of me to
even have such a thing in mind...
**[07:06] Nabuko**
But... I do think it is wonderful when
a man strongly believes in an ideal
**[07:11] Nabuko**
and pours his heart and soul into it.
**[07:14] Dazai**
That's totally Kunikida-kun.
**[07:17] Dazai**
Okay, the two of you can pick up the rest.
**[07:19] Kuni**
Hey, Dazai!
**[07:20] Kuni**
D-D-Don't go making assumptions!
**[07:22] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun, you're an open book.
**[07:25] Naka**
Yeah...
**[07:26] Dazai**
He may be a bit twisted,
**[07:29] Dazai**
but as you can see, he is a high-minded
individual who lives and breathes for his ideals.
**[07:33] Dazai**
Although, perhaps for that reason,
his ideal woman is a bit of a challenge.
***SIGN*** Ideal

**[07:39] Kuni**
Bastard, not again! When did you—

**[07:45] Nobuko**
Kunikida-sama...
**[07:46] Kuni**
Yes?
**[07:48] Nobuko**
This goes too far.
**[07:51] Naka**
Kunikida-san's crushed.

**[08:31] Naka**
*A department store?*
**[08:32] Naka**
*A school?*
**[08:33] Naka**
*Or a train station?*
**[08:34] Naka**
* Any one of these could produce*
* casualties in the hundreds.*
**[08:37] Naka**
*Where's the bomb?*
**[08:40] Rampo**
*The fishing tackle store.*
**[08:41] Naka**
Huh?
**[08:42] Rampo**
* The bomb was set in a fishing*
* tackle store in Negishi.*
**[08:45] Dazai**
Oh, I see.
**[08:48] Dazai**
You're amazing, Rampo-san.
**[08:50] Naka**
But why a fishing tackle store?
**[08:53] Dazai**
Do we have a map?
**[08:54] Kuni**
Behind the seat.
**[08:56] Dazai**
Page 97.
**[08:58] Naka**
Page 97, okay...
**[09:01] Naka**
Oh.
**[09:02] Dazai**
The terrorist's target is
the petrochemical complex.
**[09:05] Kuni**
I see.
**[09:06] Kuni**
I don't know why I didn't realize it.
**[09:08] Dazai**
Yokohama is one of Japan's major port towns.
**[09:12] Dazai**
Here, there are many large facilities
that store oil and gas.
**[09:16] Dazai**
If an explosion were to occur close enough
to ignite the storage tanks...
**[09:22] Dazai**
the entire port will be
engulfed in flames.
**[09:26] Dazai**
However, infiltrating a
facility of that nature
**[09:30] Dazai**
will require getting past
pretty good security.
**[09:33] Dazai**
The easiest approach would
be to put a bomb in a car,
**[09:36] Dazai**
and leave the car near
one of the facilities.
**[09:39] Kuni**
So, considering the effective range of
a bomb that can be loaded into a car...
**[09:43] Kuni**
That fishing tackle store is the one
place that checks all the boxes.
**[09:49] Dazai**
Bingo.
**[10:01] Dazai**
The military police's bomb disposal
squad has found the bomb,
**[10:05] Dazai**
but the bomb can't be moved
due to the timer device.
**[10:07] Dazai**
They say it'll be difficult
to disarm it by sundown.
**[10:11] Dazai**
We're having the nearby residents evacuate,
**[10:13] Dazai**
but we're not sure there's enough time.
**[10:15] Naka**
But...
**[10:16] Dazai**
However, the bomb's set to deactivate
if we can transmit a stop signal.
**[10:22] Kuni**
We have to do something.
**[10:27] Naka**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[10:28] Kuni**
A phone call.
**[10:29] Naka**
Huh?
**[10:30] Kuni**
Hello?
**[10:31] Roku**
*Hey, Four-Eyes, is now a good time?*
**[10:33] Kuni**
Rokuzou?
**[10:34] Naka**
Um...
**[10:34] Kuni**
What is it?
**[10:35] Naka**
I feel we're causing a traffic jam...
**[10:40] Naka**
Hello?
**[10:41] Rampo**
*Hello, Atsushi-kun.*
**[10:42] Naka**
Rampo-san?
**[10:44] Naka**

Hello?
**[10:45] Fuku**
*Dazai?*
**[10:45] Dazai**

**[10:46] Naka**

**[10:48] Dazai**
What? The military police's...
**[10:49] Kuni**
I see.
**[10:51] Kuni**
Set a thief to catch a thief, I see.
**[10:52] Naka**
I see.
**[10:53] Dazai**
That's quite...
**[10:55] Naka**
Okay.
**[10:55] Kuni**
I understand.
**[10:56] Dazai**
Yes.
**[10:57] Kuni**
No, that's helpful.
**[10:58] Naka**
Understood.
**[11:00] Dazai**
I understand, President.
**[11:03] Kuni**
I got a call from Rokuzou.
**[11:05] Kuni**
Someone recently ordered a
transmitter and other equipment
**[11:08] Kuni**
to be delivered to a former
defense force facility.
**[11:10] Naka**
Rampo-san reached a similar conclusion.
**[11:12] Kuni**
That settles it, then.
**[11:13] Dazai**
My call was from the president.
**[11:16] Dazai**
He was informed by the military
police that the driver has died.
**[11:19] Kuni**
He's dead?
**[11:20] Naka**
But I thought he was in the military
police's isolation ward for protection.
**[11:25] Dazai**
He died after suddenly collapsing
in pain in his cell.
**[11:27] Dazai**
The cause of death is unknown,
**[11:28] Dazai**
but the numbers "00" were
marked on his palm.
**[11:34] Kuni**
Numbers on his palm?
**[11:36] Kuni**
What?

What in the world's going on?

The sun's setting...
**[12:48] Naka**
Can you figure it out?
**[12:50] Dazai**
It's easy!
**[12:51] Dazai**
But I can't do it.
**[12:53] Naka**
What?
**[12:53] Dazai**
You have to insert the release
key here and turn it,
**[12:57] Dazai**
but I don't have it.
**[12:59] Naka**
What are we going to do?!
**[13:01] Giant**
What are you doing here?
**[13:02] Dazai**
Wow, we've got quite a heavy hitter here!
**[13:11] Kuni**
* This one's ability can*
* perform remote attacks!*
**[13:14] Kuni**
What's your number now?
**[13:17] Kuni**
Number?
**[13:21] Gold**
My ability cannot be evaded, you see.
**[13:25] Gold**
I can send people who have numbers
**[13:26] Gold**
in any direction I want.
**[13:29] Gold**
Even if they're on the
other side of the earth.
**[13:32] Gold**
And once their number becomes zero,
**[13:35] Gold**
they'll die in agony.
**[13:37] Gold**
None can escape that fate.
**[13:40] Gold**
None...
**[13:41] Gold**
None...
**[13:43] Gold**
No one...
**[13:45] Kuni**
Are you the leader of this group?
**[13:47] Blond**
Your group poses a greater obstacle
than the Mafia, to be sure.
**[13:50] Blond**
But the Armed Detective
Agency is now finished.
**[13:54] Blond**
Here's the key.
**[13:55] Blond**
It's the release key to stop the bomb.
**[13:58] Blond**
Without it, you can't stop the bomb.
**[14:01] Blond**
Do you want it?
**[14:03] Blond**
Of course you do.
**[14:04] Blond**
If you want it... here.
**[14:09] Blond**
Now, there is no hope.
**[14:11] Blond**
It's finished.
**[14:13] Blond**
It's over, isn't it?
**[14:14] Kuni**
You idiot!
**[14:22] Dazai**
Atsushi-kun!
**[14:26] Dazai**
You have really strong arms.
**[14:30] Dazai**
You should have gone into
the porter business.
**[14:45] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun!
***SIGN*** Wire Gun
**[14:46] Kuni**

**[14:53] Blond**
Don't think you can pull
the same trick twice!
**[14:56] Kuni**
Dazai!
**[14:57] Dazai**
Here!
**[15:04] Blond**
Will you be the next one
to give me a number?
**[15:09] Blond**
Impossible!
**[15:11] Blond**
Why has no number marked you?!
**[15:12] Dazai**
Unfortunately, your ability will
no longer have any effect.
**[15:16] Dazai**
Also, you should really have your partner
switch careers and be a porter.
**[15:25] Naka**
* The weight difference doesn't*
* seem to faze him at all.*
**[15:29] Naka**
Dazai-san.
**[15:31] Naka**
*Their partnership is amazing...*
**[15:34] Naka**
Oh, right!
**[15:35] Naka**
Kunikida-san, the key?
**[15:37] Kuni**
He broke it.
**[15:38] Naka**
What?!
**[15:39] Naka**
Then what about the bomb?
**[15:41] Naka**
We don't have time—
**[15:42] Kuni**
Calm down, brat.

However, the object's size is

So your notebook is really a tool

**[16:24] Nobuko**
You're visiting the graves of
those who have lost their lives?
**[16:28] Kuni**
Yes.
**[16:31] Kuni**
When I first caused casualties during a job,
**[16:34] Kuni**
I cried so much I couldn't get up,
**[16:36] Kuni**
and I took time off from work without leave.
**[16:38] Kuni**
But now, I don't even shed a tear.
**[16:40] Kuni**
I just choose to visit their graves in
exchange, or that's how I think of it.
**[16:47] Nobuko**
Will the dead by comforted by tears?
**[16:51] Kuni**
I doubt they'd be comforted
or redeemed by tears.
**[16:54] Kuni**
After all, their time stopped
at the moment of their deaths.
**[16:59] Nobuko**
I confess I told a lie earlier.
**[17:04] Nobuko**
My significant other and I
parted ways because he died.
**[17:07] Kuni**
I see.
**[17:09] Nobuko**
What you said is true.
**[17:11] Nobuko**
Time no longer has meaning for the dead.
**[17:14] Nobuko**
No matter what I may do for him,
**[17:16] Nobuko**
he cannot rejoice in it,
**[17:18] Nobuko**
nor smile because of it.
**[17:23] Nobuko**
I lost my composure without meaning to.
**[17:25] Nobuko**
I have something I must attend to.
**[17:27] Nobuko**
Excuse me.
**[17:31] Nobuko**
Goodbye.
**[17:37] Kuni**
Hello.
**[17:39] Dazai**
*Kunikida-kun?*
**[17:40] Dazai**
*I need you for something.*
**[17:43] Kuni**
What do you want here, of all places?
**[17:46] Dazai**
What do you think this is?
**[17:48] Dazai**
It's a survey of Yokohama we found
on a computer in their hideout.
**[17:52] Dazai**
Surprisingly, it concludes that eradicating
the Agency is the first priority
**[17:56] Dazai**
in order to take control of Yokohama.
**[17:59] Kuni**
And not the Port Mafia,
who control the underworld?
**[18:02] Dazai**
They were being manipulated
by false information.
**[18:06] Kuni**
So there's another mastermind?
**[18:08] Dazai**
Actually, I've sent an email to the
one I believe is truly behind this.
**[18:13] Dazai**
I said I have proof that the person
is the one truly responsible.
**[18:16] Dazai**
That person should be here any moment now.
**[18:29] Kuni**
It can't be you!
**[18:31] Kuni**
You're the one, Rokuzou?!
**[18:33] Roku**
What are you talking about?
**[18:35] Roku**
So it hasn't started yet?
**[18:37] Dazai**
I see.
**[18:38] Dazai**
You took a peek at my email by hacking
into my account, didn't you?
**[18:41] Kuni**
So it's not really you!
**[18:43] Roku**
I just wanted to take a look at the
one who's actually responsible.
**[18:47] Kuni**
So it's really, really not you, right—
**[18:48] Roku**
Look out!
**[18:56] Dazai**
So you're the Azure Messenger,
**[18:59] Dazai**
Sasaki Nobuko-san.
**[19:01] Kuni**
It can't be...
**[19:02] Dazai**
I doubt this is the first time
you used your intelligence
**[19:06] Dazai**
to execute a crime, either.
**[19:08] Nobuko**
He was a man who lived for his ideals.
**[19:11] Nobuko**
He was pure in his intentions
to seek out the world of crime,
**[19:14] Nobuko**
and that is why he got blood on his hands.
**[19:17] Nobuko**
I just wanted to grant his desire
and make his ideals come true.
**[19:21] Dazai**
Your significant other, the Azure King,
**[19:23] Dazai**
was an idealist who wanted to prosecute
criminals who could not be judged by law
**[19:27] Dazai**
through illegal means.
**[19:28] [Messenger] Sign 1929**
Enhance
Reflection
**[19:29] Dazai**
This incident was meant
to carry on his work...
**[19:31] Kuni**
Lower your gun!
**[19:33] Kuni**
What good will this accomplish?
**[19:35] Nobuko**
Don't you understand?
**[19:37] Nobuko**
You resemble him in a way...
**[19:41] Dazai**
Your plan was very sophisticated.
**[19:44] Dazai**
Without committing a single
crime of your own,
**[19:46] Dazai**
you set up the Agency to take the fall,
**[19:48] Dazai**
and you destroyed both the kidnapper and
the criminal organization behind him.
**[19:51] Dazai**
But you yourself have no
convictions or ideals.
**[19:55] Dazai**
You're just being swept along by the flow.
**[20:00] Nobuko**
I'm just tired, now.
**[20:02] Nobuko**
I want to be released from all this.
**[20:06] Nobuko**
Will you shoot me, Dazai-san?
**[20:10] Nobuko**
But I've lowered my gun.
**[20:13] Nobuko**
If you were to shoot me now,
**[20:16] Nobuko**
it'd be excessive use of force.
**[20:18] Nobuko**
Kunikida-san's watching us.
**[20:21] Dazai**
You're right.
**[20:22] Dazai**
I can't shoot.
**[20:25] Dazai**
However...
**[20:40] Roku**
The Azure King killed my dad.
**[20:43] Roku**
Good riddance.
**[20:49] Kuni**
Why?!
**[20:51] Kuni**
Why does it have to end this way?!
**[20:54] Kuni**
What went wrong?!
**[20:55] Kuni**
Who was wrong?!
**[20:57] Dazai**
No one was wrong.
**[20:58] Dazai**
This was the only possible outcome.
**[21:01] Kuni**
Shut up!
**[21:02] Kuni**
You could've saved her!
**[21:04] Kuni**
Are you saying this is justice?!
**[21:07] Dazai**
Justice is a weapon.
**[21:09] Dazai**
It can be used to cause harm,
**[21:11] Dazai**
but it cannot protect or save others.
**[21:14] Dazai**
What killed Sasaki-san was, in the end,
the justice of the Azure King
**[21:18] Dazai**
and of you.
**[21:23] Dazai**
Kunikida-kun,
**[21:25] Dazai**
as long as you pursue your ideals,
**[21:27] Dazai**
the flames that burned in the Azure King
will one day take root in you...
**[21:31] Dazai**
and raze everything around you.
**[21:33] Kuni**
Still!
**[21:34] Kuni**
I'll still push on until I push past it!
**[21:37] Kuni**
Don't underestimate my ideals!
**[21:39] Kuni**
**[23:10] Yosano**
Atsushi, aren't you hurt?
**[23:12] Naka**
No, not in the slightest.
**[23:14] Naka**
I am in good health.
**[23:16] Yosano**
Oh, how boring.
**[23:18] Naka**
Um, about your "treatment," Dr. Yosano.
**[23:20] Naka**
How does it work, specifically?
**[23:22] Yosano**
Would you like to find out?
**[23:23] Yosano**
Why don't you ask Tanizaki since
he was treated by me before?
**[23:26] Naka**
Oh, but Tanizaki-san just shivers in fear
**[23:29] Naka**
and won't tell me anything.

***SIGN*** What can you see?
**[00:18] Men**
Hey, girlie, are you waiting for someone?
**[00:22] Men**
Come to think of it, I saw you here yesterday, too.
**[00:26] Men**
Have you been here the whole time?
**[00:28] Men**
Maybe she's a doll.
**[00:30] Men**
Oh, she blinked!
**[00:33] Men**
Whoa!
**[00:33] Men**
She moved!
**[00:40] Dazai**
Huh?
**[00:41] Dazai**
What?
**[00:42] Kyouka**
Found you.
**[00:52] Dazai**
This isn't good...
**[00:54] Dazai**
**[02:24] Kuni**
Dazai's gone missing?
**[02:27] Naka**
He's not answering his phone,
**[02:29] Naka**
and he hasn't returned to the dorm, either.
**[02:30] Kuni**
He's just floating in some river again.
**[02:33] Kenji**
Or he could be in prison this time.
**[02:35] Rampo**
My guess would be that he went
off somewhere with a woman.
**[02:37] Naka**
But it's true that he's targeted by the Port Mafia.
**[02:40] Naka**
It could be that...
**[02:41] Kuni**
That man's ability to sense danger and stay alive approaches nightmarish proficiency.
**[02:45] Kenji**
Just think about how he's as healthy as can be
**[02:47] Kenji**
despite so many suicide attempts.
**[02:49] Rampo**
I doubt the Mafia alone will
be enough to get the better of him.
**[02:53] Naka**
But...
**[02:54] Tani**
I'll go look into it.
**[02:57] Naka**
Are you all better now, Tanizaki-san?
**[03:00] Tani**
Yes, thankfully.
**[03:02] Naka**
I was really worried when it all happened.
**[03:05] Naka**
I'm relieved you're okay.
**[03:07] Tani**
I'm sorry I worried you.
**[03:08] Kuni**
So you're finally recovered.
**[03:10] Tani**
It's all thanks to Dr. Yosano's treatment.
**[03:13] Kuni**
So, how many times did she get you?
**[03:21] Tani**
F-F-Four times...
**[03:22] Kenji**
That many...
**[03:23] Tani**
Atsushi-kun...
**[03:24] Tani**
As long as you remain at the Agency,
**[03:27] Tani**
remember to never get injured.
**[03:29] Naka**
Okay...
**[03:30] Rampo**
If you think you're at any risk, run.
**[03:32] Rampo**
You should cultivate your ability
to sense danger on a daily basis.
**[03:37] Rampo**
For example, ten seconds from now...
**[03:41] Naka**
Oh, Dr. Yosano.
**[03:42] Naka**
Good morning.
**[03:43] Yosano**
Oh, Atsushi.
**[03:45] Yosano**
Are you hurt anywhere?
**[03:47] Naka**
Oh, I'm fine.
**[03:49] Yosano**
Darn.
**[03:50] Naka**
Darn?
**[03:52] Yosano**
I was hoping to have someone
come with me on a shopping trip,
**[03:55] Yosano**
but I guess you're the only one around.
**[03:57] Naka**
What?
**[04:00] Naka**
Is this what he meant by
the ability to sense danger?
**[04:04] Naka**
D-Dr. Yosano, you're still not done?
**[04:07] Yosano**
Don't you dare drop anything.
**[04:30] Man**
What the hell do you think you're doing?
**[04:32] Man**
You good-for-nothing!
**[04:34] Man**
Hurry up and send my car over!
**[04:38] Naka**
Ow...
**[04:40] Naka**
U-Um, are you okay?
**[04:43] Man**
What's the meaning of this, you little twit?
**[04:45] Man**
This is a custom-made suit from a European brand.
**[04:47] Naka**
S-Sorry.
**[04:51] Yosano**
I'm very sorry.
**[04:53] Yosano**
Were you hurt?
**[04:54] Man**
Don't touch me.
**[04:55] Man**
I'll be lodging a complaint with your employer!
**[04:58] Man**
Hey, what's your job?
**[05:00] Man**
Are you a tea server?
**[05:01] Man**
A receptionist?
**[05:03] Man**
Or perhaps you're something
a little more specialized?
**[05:08] Yosano**
Hmm...
**[05:09] Man**
Ow!
**[05:11] Yosano**
I'm a doctor, you pervert.
**[05:13] Yosano**
Oh?
**[05:15] Yosano**
You have *two* arms... That's way too many.
**[05:19] Yosano**
Would you like me to take one off?
***SIGN*** Episode 8: Teaching Them To Kill; Then, To Die
**[05:32] Naka**
I'm sorry about... um... earlier.
**[05:39] Naka**
The packages are in a sorry state, too.
**[05:41] Yosano**
Nothing to be sorry about.
**[05:44] Yosano**
By the way...
**[05:47] Naka**
What?
**[05:48] Naka**
Is this punishment?
**[05:51] Yosano**
Hmm, nice leg.
**[05:53] Yosano**
I heard your leg was bitten off
**[05:56] Yosano**
by the Port Mafia when Tanizaki got injured.
**[06:00] Yosano**
*No signs of scarring or fusion...*
**[06:03] Yosano**
*It's more of a restoration than a regeneration.*
**[06:06] Yosano**
*The tiger did this instantly?*
**[06:09] Naka**
Um...
**[06:11] Naka**
Is there a problem?
**[06:13] Yosano**
Oh, I'm just sad I couldn't treat you.
**[06:17] Yosano**
But there's no reprieve next time for you.
**[06:19] Naka**
What?
**[06:20] Yosano**
The Mafia are known for surprise attacks.
**[06:24] Yosano**
You should watch yourself at night.
**[06:26] Yosano**
You never know when they might strike next.
**[06:29] Naka**
*That's right.*
**[06:30] Naka**
*I'm their prime target.*
**[06:33] Naka**
*I should know how to protect myself on my own.*
**[06:37] Kajii**
*Testing, testing. This is your train conductor.*
**[06:41] Kajii**
* We apologize for the inconvenience,*
* but we will now conduct a minor physics experiment!*
**[06:46] Kajii**
* The topic: Evaluation of Explosive*
* Reaction and Sensory Response*
**[06:50] Kajii**
*in a Non-Inertial Reference Frame.*
**[06:52] Kajii**
*The test subjects will be our current passengers!*
**[06:54] Kajii**
*We greatly appreciate your cooperation!*
**[06:57] Kajii**
So, without further ado,
**[06:59] Kajii**
please listen to this!
**[07:08] Kajii**
* Maybe two or three of you*
* already died from that one?*
**[07:11] Kajii**
*But that will pale in comparison to the next one!*
**[07:14] Kajii**
* We've rigged enough explosives*
* in the front and back cars*
**[07:18] Kajii**
*to blow everyone clear to the moon!*
**[07:20] Kajii**
*Now, test subject Atsushi-kun.*
**[07:24] Kajii**
*Unless you surrender yourself,*
**[07:26] Kajii**
* all passengers will go straight*
* to heaven, much less the moon!*
**[07:30] Naka**
But...
**[07:31] Yosano**
Speak of the devil...
**[07:34] Naka**
Wh-What should we do?
**[07:36] Yosano**
Option one, turn yourself in.
**[07:39] Yosano**
Option two, jump off this running train with several dozen passengers to escape.
**[07:45] Yosano**
Option three...
**[07:48] Naka**
Beat them up.
**[07:50] Yosano**
Excellent.
**[07:52] Yosano**
After all, we are the Armed Detective Agency.
**[07:58] Yosano**
Okay, Atsushi.
**[07:59] Yosano**
Let's split up and look for the bombs.
**[08:01] Yosano**
I'll take the front.
**[08:03] Yosano**
You take the rear!
**[08:04] Naka**
What if we run into the enemy?
**[08:06] Yosan**
Terminate with extreme prejudice!
**[08:08] Naka**
Roger!
**[08:11] Yosano**
* A bomb threat, on a train with civilian*
* passengers, in broad daylight...*
**[08:14] Yosano**
*That's tantamount to suicide.*
**[08:16] Yosano**
*Even for the Port Mafia, this plan's pretty bold...*
**[08:19] Yosano**
*Or, rather, obsessive.*
**[08:22] Yosano**
*I wonder who's behind this.*
**[08:32] Kajii**
Our warmest welcome to the decisive lady from the Detective Agency...
**[08:37] Kajii**
and our most regretful farewell!
**[08:41] Yosano**
Well, well...
**[08:43] Yosano**
If it isn't a celebrity we've got here.
**[08:46] Kaji**
Ah, you're alive?
**[08:49] Kaji**
What a surprise.
**[08:51] Kaji**
Ladies are so resilient these days.
**[08:53] Yosano**
It is an era of equal rights for men and women.
**[08:56] Yosano**
From where I stand,
**[08:57] Yosano**
it's a greater surprise to find a wanted
criminal like you in a place like this.
**[09:02] Yosano**
Kajii Motojirou!
**[09:04] Yosano**
While being a member of the secretive Port Mafia,
**[09:07] Yosano**
you are a surprisingly well-known

Death is the collective music of

**[09:27] Kajii**
Ah, then comes irreversible death...
**[09:30] Yosano**
So you're saying death is an experiment?
**[09:34] Kajii**
Science, in its ultimate form, is God and death...
**[09:37] Kajii**
Both exist and cannot be overcome by science.
**[09:41] Kajii**
That is why we are drawn to them...
**[09:43] Kajii**
So...
**[09:45] Kajii**
What color is your blood?
**[09:48] Yosano**
See for yourself.
**[09:51] Naka**
*If we can't remove the bombs, these people will die.*
**[09:54] Naka**
*But can I do this?*
**[09:58] Naka**
Hey!
**[09:59] Naka**
Don't go that way! There's a bomb!
**[10:03] Naka**
Please go back to the central car.
**[10:05] Naka**
There's a bomb in the rear car...
**[10:10] Naka**
Um, you...
**[10:12] Aku**
*Your duty is to protect the bomb at any cost.*
**[10:16] Naka**
You're...
**[10:22] Naka**
You're the one I saw...
**[10:23] Aku**
*Use your ability Demon Snow*
**[10:25] Aku**
*to kill anyone who interferes.*
**[10:30] Naka**
What?
***SIGN*** Port Mafia
Assassin
***SIGN*** Izumi Kyouka
Ability: Demon
Snow
**[10:58] Sign 1037**
***SIGN*** Shred your enemies,
Demon Snow.
**[11:02] Aku**
*Shred your enemies, Demon Snow.*
**[11:21] Naka**
*Sh... She's too strong!*
**[11:28] Naka**
*Wh-Why?*
**[11:30] Naka**
*Why would a girl like you...*
**[11:35] Kyou**
My name is Kyouka,
**[11:37] Kyou**
an orphan like you.
**[11:39] Kyou**
I like bunny rabbits and tofu.
**[11:42] Kyou**
I hate dogs and lightning.
**[11:45] Kyou**
After being taken in by the Port Mafia,
**[11:47] Kyou**
I killed 35 people in six months.
**[11:50] Aku**
*Protect the bomb,*
**[11:52] Aku**
*and kill anyone who interferes.*
**[12:00] Kajii**
The Agency isn't as formidable as I've heard.
**[12:04] Kajii**
Oh, well.
**[12:06] Kajii**
So you're about to die, but tell me this before you do:
**[12:10] Kajii**
What does it mean to die?
**[12:13] Yosano**
What did you say?
**[12:15] Kajii**
Oh, it's just scholarly interest.
**[12:18] Kajii**
I'm an avid researcher, you see.
**[12:20] Kajii**
All the reasons for human death,
**[12:22] Kajii**
including hypoxia of neurons in the brain and telomere degradation,
**[12:25] Kajii**
are simple and reversible processes
in laboratory settings.
**[12:29] Kajii**
Yet, why is death irreversible?
**[12:32] Kajii**
Why must all humans die?
**[12:37] Yosano**
You don't even know why?
**[12:39] Yosano**
So the Mafia aren't so formidable, after all...
**[12:43] Kajii**
You claim that someone who's a meddling private eye
**[12:46] Kajii**
would know something that I, a seeker of science, do not?
**[12:50] Yosano**
Sure I would.
**[12:52] Yosano**
The reason for that is simple.
**[12:54] Yosano**
You're just an idiot.
**[13:00] Kajii**
Thank you for your valuable opinion.
**[13:03] Kajii**
I think you would know this,
being well-read and all...
**[13:08] Kajii**
but even after the body dies from blood loss,
**[13:11] Kajii**
the brain and the conscious mind are said to survive for eight hours.
**[13:14] Kajii**
Afterward, I'll ask your corpse this:
**[13:19] Kajii**
"You're dead now. How do you feel?"
**[13:22] Kajii**
Well, take your time.
**[13:35] Naka**
*It's impossible.*
**[13:36] Naka**
*I can't win.*
**[13:38] Naka**
*Am I going to die here?*
**[13:45] Naka**
*Are people going to die again because of me?*
**[13:48] Naka**
*Just because they got on the same train as me?*
**[13:50] Naka**
*Just for that simple reason, they will all die...*
**[13:54] (Flashback) Aku**
That is your karma, weretiger.
***SIGN*** That is your karma, weretiger.
**[13:57] (Flashback) Aku**
You will cause ill for everyone
around you, just by being alive.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Staff**
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
**[14:02] (Flashback) Staff**
The world would be a better place if
you'd just die in a ditch somewhere!
**[14:05] (Flashback) Staff**
We don't need worthless louts!
**[14:08] (Flashback) Staff**
Why are you alive?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Staff**
You accomplish nothing,
**[14:12] (Flashback) Staff**
and cause inconvenience and
misfortune for everyone around you.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Staff**
Those who can save no one do not deserve to live.
**[14:21] Naka**
*Just then, an idea popped into my head.*
**[14:25] Naka**
*It was a stupid idea.*
**[14:28] Naka**
*But I couldn't shake it off.*
**[14:32] Naka**
*If I...*
**[14:34] Naka**
*If I could save them...*
**[14:36] Naka**
*the passengers here...*
**[14:37] Naka**
* If I could get them back safe*
* and sound to their homes...*
**[14:39] Naka**
*Wouldn't that mean...*
**[14:44] Naka**
*that I...*
**[14:51] Naka**
*Wouldn't that mean it's okay for me to live?*
**[14:54] Kyouka**
Stay away.
**[14:57] Naka**
Sorry.
**[14:58] Naka**
I can't do this anymore!
**[15:08] Naka**
*She's too fast...*
**[15:09] Naka**
*I guess I can't do this, after all.*
**[15:11] Naka**
*If I could only use my ability...*
**[15:22] Kajii**
All right.
**[15:25] Kajii**
I wonder if she's nice and cooked
all the way through now.
**[15:34] Kajii**
Let's see.
**[15:41] Yosano**
Hmm, that was underwhelming.
**[15:44] Yosano**
I was hoping you'd go flying a bit farther.
**[15:46] Kajii**
H-How?
**[15:48] Yosano**
That little sparkler wouldn't kill me.
**[15:51] Yosano**
Which side did I punch you on just now?
**[15:53] Kajii**
I-I-I-If I had to choose, maybe this side?
**[16:03] Kajii**
Impossible!
**[16:05] Kajii**
You were on the brink of death just before!
**[16:07] Yosano**
I may not look like it, but I'm a doctor.
**[16:09] Yosano**
I've seen a hundred times more
deaths than you, at the very least.
**[16:14] Yosano**
What's death, you ask?
**[16:16] Yosano**
Let me tell you...
**[16:18] Yosano**
Death is the loss of life.
**[16:21] Yosano**
No matter how hard we doctors try,
**[16:24] Yosano**
our patients' lives just slip through our fingers...
**[16:27] Yosano**
Death, the ultimate form of science?
**[16:30] Yosano**
What a load!
**[16:31] Yosano**
I'll kill anyone who doesn't value life!
**[16:34] Kajii**
I... I remember now...
**[16:37] Kajii**
So you're the Armed Detective Agency's physician,
**[16:39] Kajii**
Yosano Akiko...
**[16:41] Yosano**
My ability, Thou Shalt Not Die,
**[16:45] Yosano**
can cure any wounds.
**[16:47] Yosano**
Even my own wounds, as you can see.
**[16:51] Yosano**
But the necessary conditions are harsh.
**[16:54] Yosano**
It can only cure lethal injuries.
**[16:58] Yosano**
What an inconvenient ability.
**[17:00] Yosano**
If I want to cure moderate injuries,
**[17:03] Yosano**
I have to half kill my patient first.
**[17:07] Yosano**
Oh?
**[17:08] Yosano**
You're hurt, aren't you, boy?
**[17:11] Yosano**
Would you like me to treat you?
**[17:25] Naka**
*This is...*
**[17:40] Naka**
*It's over.*
**[17:45] Kyou**
My name is Kyouka.
**[17:48] Kyou**
I've killed 35 people.
**[17:53] Naka**
Where's the bomb?
**[17:54] Kyouka**
My last victims were a family of three,
**[17:58] Kyouka**
a father, a mother, and a boy.
**[18:01] Kyouka**
Demon Snow slit their throats.
**[18:07] Naka**
What have you done?!
**[18:08] Naka**
Who are you?
**[18:11] Naka**
I can't feel any emotion in your words,
or even in you, yourself.
**[18:15] Naka**
You're like a killing machine.
**[18:18] Naka**
If you feel anything, you should put it into words.
**[18:21] Naka**
Otherwise, an idiot like me won't get it.
**[18:24] Naka**
Is something like this what you really want to do?!
**[18:29] Yosano**
This is the train conductor's office.
**[18:31] Yosano**
*Atsushi!*
**[18:32] Yosano**
*You still breathing?*
**[18:33] Naka**
Dr. Yosano?
**[18:35] Yosano**
According to this weak-ass bomber here,
**[18:37] Yosano**
your bomb has a remote detonator.
**[18:41] Yosano**
If you make one mistake trying to defuse it,
**[18:43] Yosano**
it'll explode in a matter of seconds.
**[18:45] Yosano**
*You'll have to use the remote detonator's stop button to deactivate it.*
**[18:48] Yosano**
*The Mafia agent there should have it.*
**[18:50] Naka**
Do you have it?
**[18:53] Naka**
Give it to me.
**[19:12] Naka**
What?!
***SIGN*** You pressed the button,
Kyouka?
**[19:13] Aku**
*You pressed the button, Kyouka?*
**[19:17] Aku**
*Deactivating the bomb is unnecessary.*
**[19:18] Aku**
*Die along with the passengers*
**[19:20] Aku**
*and show the hapless masses that the Port Mafia should be feared.*
**[19:23] Naka**
Take the bomb off!
**[19:24] Naka**
*How much time do we have left?!*
**[19:27] Kyou**
There's no time!
**[19:28] Naka**
What?
**[19:33] Naka**
*I am an idiot, after all...*
**[19:35] Naka**
* I only realized once her*
* slender arms pushed me...*
**[19:40] Naka**
*that her ability is always activated by a voice from her cell phone.*
**[19:45] Naka**
*She is unable to control her own ability.*
**[19:50] Kyou**
My name is Kyouka.
**[19:52] Kyou**
I've killed 35 people.
**[19:56] Kyou**
I don't want to kill anyone else!
**[20:16] Yosano**
Atsushi!
**[20:59] Kyou**
Um...
**[21:24] Aku**
No matter how powerful it may be,
a pawn is just a pawn...
**[21:28] Aku**
What about you?
**[21:30] Aku**
Are you a pawn or the master?
**[21:33] Aku**
Or are you a pawn who is waiting to be crushed?
**[21:39] Aku**
**[23:11] Naka**
She didn't kill people of her own free will.
**[23:13] Naka**
Gifts don't necessarily bring
happiness to their wielders.
**[23:16] Naka**
I know that better than anyone!
**[23:19] Naka**
But if I hand her over to the police,
**[23:21] Naka**
she'll be put to death for sure.
**[23:24] Kyouka**
Where are you taking me?
**[23:25] Naka**
That's... um...
**[23:27] Naka**
Oh, let's go on a date, for starters.
**[23:29] Kyouka**
Huh?
**[23:30] Kyouka**
A date with you?

**[00:37] Kuni**
You've brought trouble
back with you yet again.
**[00:41] Kuni**
She's a lost cause.
**[00:43] Kuni**
The girl's a well-known assassin.
**[00:48] Kuni**
She tricks targets into lowering their
guard with her young appearance,
**[00:52] Kuni**
then annihilates entire organizations.
**[00:56] Kuni**
She accomplished too much, too quickly.
**[01:01] Kuni**
It was only a matter of time
before she was caught.
**[01:04] Naka**
But...
**[01:05] Naka**
whoever is taking advantage of
her ability is the one to blame.
**[01:09] Kuni**
Gifts don't necessarily bring
happiness to their wielders.
**[01:13] Kuni**
You know that better than most.
**[01:21] Yosano**
She's awake.
**[01:22] Kuni**
Do you think we can question her?
**[01:24] Yosano**
Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.
**[01:27] Yosano**
**[02:57] Naka**
Are you okay?
**[03:00] Naka**
Um, this is the infirmary at the Agency.
**[03:04] Naka**
How're you feeling?
**[03:06] Naka**
You remember me, right?
**[03:12] Kuni**
Girl, tell us who was behind this plot.
**[03:15] Kuni**
The Port Mafia forces are just like a snake.
**[03:18] Kuni**
Unless you cut off its head,
it'll just keep coming.
**[03:21] Kuni**
Answer me.
**[03:22] Kuni**
Who's your superior?
**[03:24] Naka**
K-Kunikida-san.
**[03:27] Kyouka**
Tachibanadou's boiled tofu.
**[03:30] Naka**
Boiled tofu?
**[03:31] Kyouka**
It's really good.
**[03:33] Kuni**
You want us to get you some?
**[03:36] Kyouka**
I'll talk after you do.
**[03:38] Naka**
Oh.
**[03:39] Naka**
Sure, that's a small thing.
**[03:41] Kuni**
Hey, you...
**[03:43] Naka**
What?
***SIGN*** Menu
**[04:02] Kyouka**
Seconds!
**[04:03] Naka**
Kunikida-san...
**[04:05] Kuni**
I'm not paying.
**[04:07] Naka**
Crap...
**[04:09] Staff**
What would you like to order, sir?
**[04:12] Naka**
Just water, please.
**[04:16] Kuni**
Well?
**[04:17] Kyouka**
The Port Mafia took me
in when my parents died
**[04:20] Kyouka**
and I became an orphan.
**[04:22] Kyouka**
They wanted my ability, Demon Snow.
**[04:27] Kyouka**
Demon Snow only follows orders
coming through a phone.
**[04:32] Kuni**
This is the cell phone.
**[04:35] Kuni**
The battery's been taken out.
**[04:37] Kuni**
So the Port Mafia made
good use of your ability
**[04:41] Kuni**
and turned you into a deadly assassin.
**[04:45] Naka**
Why didn't you just toss
the cell phone away?
**[04:50] Kyouka**
If I put up any resistance,
I would've been killed.
**[04:53] Kyouka**
Besides...
**[04:55] Kyouka**
Even if I'd left the Port Mafia,
I had nowhere else to go.
**[04:58] Kuni**
Who was manipulating Demon Snow
through that phone?
**[05:01] Kyouka**
A man called Akutagawa.
**[05:07] Kuni**
I see.
**[05:09] Kuni**
I'll head back to the Agency to report.
**[05:12] Kuni**
Brat.
**[05:15] Kuni**
Turn the girl over to the military police.
**[05:17] Naka**
But if I do that...
**[05:20] Kuni**
With a kill count of 35,
**[05:22] Kuni**
she'll be sentenced to death.
**[05:24] Kuni**
Even if she went back to the Port Mafia,
**[05:27] Kuni**
she'd be killed as a traitor.
**[05:29] Naka**
But...
**[05:30] Kuni**
What, are you going to save her?
**[05:33] Kuni**
A fugitive wanted for execution,
**[05:35] Kuni**
and a traitor to the Port Mafia...
**[05:37] Kuni**
Do you have the resolve to shoulder
full responsibility for her?
**[05:44] Naka**
That's...
**[05:45] Kuni**
Brat.
**[05:47] Kuni**
I'm not telling you to reject empathy
for someone who's fallen into misfortune.
**[05:51] Kuni**
But misfortune of her sort is
plentiful in our world.
**[05:56] Kuni**
You only have room for one on your boat.
**[05:58] Kuni**
If you try to save someone you can't save...
**[06:02] Kuni**
you'll both end up sinking.
**[06:09] Naka**
But...
**[06:11] Naka**
If that's true...
***SIGN*** Episode 9: The Beauty Is Quiet Like a Stone Statue
**[06:18] Naka**
Why did Dazai-san help me?
**[06:22] Dazai**
You can't do a double suicide alone...
**[06:30] Dazai**
But you can do it with two...
**[06:44] Dazai**
Oh, you were here?
**[06:48] Aku**
I believe you know what manner of fate
awaits those who are chained here.
**[06:54] Dazai**
This brings back memories.
I remember when you were a rookie.
**[06:58] Aku**
You have committed grave sins.
**[07:00] Aku**
You suddenly abandoned your mission,
**[07:02] Aku**
vanished,
**[07:03] Aku**
only to reappear as an
enemy to the Port Mafia.
**[07:07] Aku**
It's hard to believe, coming
from a former executive.
**[07:10] Dazai**
And from your former superior?
**[07:21] Aku**
Not even you are invincible.
**[07:24] Aku**
As long as I don't use my ability,
**[07:26] Aku**
I can hurt you.
**[07:27] Aku**
I can kill you any time I want.
**[07:30] Dazai**
I see.
**[07:32] Dazai**
You've climbed up through the ranks.
**[07:34] Dazai**
I'll say this to you now,
**[07:35] Dazai**
but it was a challenge to train you.
**[07:38] Dazai**
You were a slow learner,
**[07:40] Dazai**
and you always disobeyed instructions.
**[07:42] Dazai**
Not to mention that useless
ability of yours...
**[07:45] Aku**
Your fake bravado will only
last for a few more days.
**[07:48] Aku**
In that time, we will obliterate the Agency
**[07:51] Aku**
and seize the weretiger.
**[07:52] Aku**
Your execution will then follow.
**[07:55] Aku**
Look forward to learning
of your organization
**[07:56] Aku**
and your subordinates' demise
**[07:58] Aku**
with clenched fists and teeth.
**[08:00] Dazai**
I wonder if you'll actually manage that.
**[08:04] Dazai**
My new subordinate is
far superior to you.

Wh-Where?
**[09:01] Naka**
Well, so...
**[09:04] Naka**
Um...
**[09:07] Naka**
Wherever you want go, of course.
**[09:10] Naka**
Don't you have somewhere
you want to check out?
**[09:11] Naka**
You know, somewhere a girl
your age would like to see...
**[09:14] Naka**
For example...
**[09:17] Naka**
A date spot! Maybe?
**[09:20] Naka**
S-See, I've gotten the rest of the day off.
**[09:23] Naka**
I doubt you've had many opportunities
to have fun outside.
**[09:26] Kyouka**
A date?
**[09:28] Naka**
Yeah...
**[09:29] Kyouka**
A date with you?
**[09:30] Naka**
Yeah...
**[09:32] Naka**
Huh?
**[09:34] Naka**
Oh! Um!
**[09:34] Naka**
I don't mean anything by it...
**[09:37] Naka**

**[09:38] Naka**
Er...
**[09:42] Kyouka**
Let's go.
**[09:44] Naka**
Oh.
**[09:46] Naka**
Okay.
**[09:49] Naka**
Whoa!
**[09:51] Naka**
What a giant baseball field!
**[09:53] Kyouka**
It's the Yokohama Stadium.
**[09:55] Naka**
Oh, so this is it?
**[09:57] Kyouka**
I've seen it on a map.
**[10:00] Kyouka**
It's the Yokohama Port
Opening Memorial Hall.
**[10:02] Naka**
Huh.
**[10:04] Kyouka**
Kanagawa Prefectural Museum
of Cultural History.
**[10:06] Naka**
Huh.
**[10:09] Kyouka**
Yokohama Customs Headquarters.
**[10:12] Naka**
Huh.
**[10:13] Naka**
You know everything, huh?
**[10:15] Kyouka**
I have the map and building
structures memorized.
**[10:19] Naka**
Oh, I know this one.
**[10:22] Naka**
It's the Yokohama Red Brick
Warehouse, isn't it?
**[10:24] Girls**
The crepe place here's great.
**[10:27] Girls**
Let me have a bite!
**[10:29] Girls**
Yum, delicious!
**[10:34] Naka**
Oh, yeah, it's popular.
**[10:36] Naka**
Naomi-san said they make great crepes.
**[10:41] Kyouka**
It wasn't on the map...
**[10:43] Kyouka**
I want to try...
**[10:44] Naka**
What?!
**[10:45] Naka**
B-But you ate so much boiled tofu...
**[10:49] Kyou**
I have a second stomach for that.
**[11:05] Kyou**
I got the plushie I wanted...
**[11:44] Kyou**
There's just one more place I want to go.
**[11:47] Naka**
Okay, okay.
**[11:49] Naka**
*She's really being proactive.*
**[11:51] Kyou**
Here.
***SIGN*** Yamanote Police Department Minatonomieruoka Park Police Station
**[11:56] Kyou**
I've had more than enough fun.
**[11:59] Kyou**
And it should've just ended
with the boiled tofu.
**[12:01] Naka**
But if you get caught, you'll...
**[12:04] Kyou**
I'll probably be sentenced to death.
**[12:07] Kyou**
I've killed 35 people.
**[12:10] Kyou**
That I'm still alive is already a sin.
**[12:13] Kyou**
Besides, even if I return to the
Port Mafia, I'll be executed.
**[12:22] Aku**
Executed?
**[12:23] [SONG] Sign 1224**
Executed?
**[12:29] Aku**
We wouldn't execute you...
**[12:31] Aku**
You've fulfilled your mission.
**[12:37] Cop**
Hey!
**[12:38] Cop**
What're you—
**[12:42] Aku**
"I got the plushie I wanted."
**[12:45] Aku**
A transmitter is implanted in your body.
**[12:49] Aku**
Your whereabouts and
every action are known to us.
**[13:03] Aku**
We're going home.
**[13:04] Aku**
**[13:18] Naka**
*Where am I?*
**[13:20] Tani**
Atsushi-kun has been abducted.
**[13:23] Kuni**
The brat?
**[13:24] Kuni**
Now, of all times?
**[13:26] Tani**
Yes.
**[13:27] Kuni**
The Agency's in a total uproar due to
a recent ministry staff escort job.
**[13:33] Kuni**
We don't have enough hands
on deck to look for him.
**[13:35] Kuni**
Do we know where he is?
**[13:38] Tani**
Oh, yes.
**[13:39] Tani**
Based on eyewitness statements,
**[13:41] Tani**
he was attacked on the
street in broad daylight
**[13:42] Tani**
and shoved into a truck.
**[13:43] Tani**
Their destination remains unknown.
**[13:45] Kuni**
That's not good.
**[13:47] Kuni**
They have many dedicated smuggling routes.
**[13:51] Kuni**
Transporting a lone individual
without anyone laying eyes on him
**[13:52] Kuni**
would be a piece of cake for them.
**[13:55] Tani**
We must help him somehow, or he'll...
**[13:57] Rampo**
Help him? Why?
**[14:01] Rampo**
He was abducted because he's a weretiger
and they want the reward, right?
**[14:04] Rampo**
So, it's personal.
**[14:07] Rampo**
We're not his foster home.
**[14:09] Rampo**
He didn't join us so we'd protect him, either.
**[14:13] Tani**
But Atsushi-kun is one of ours.
**[14:16] Kuni**
No.
**[14:16] Kuni**
Rampo-san is right.
**[14:19] Kuni**
We shouldn't be the ones to take action.
**[14:21] Tani**
Kunikida-san...
**[14:24] Rampo**
Shouldn't we inform the police?
**[14:26] Kuni**
Atsushi is wanted as a
designated major threat.
**[14:29] Kuni**
If his status with us becomes known,
**[14:31] Kuni**
the Agency will take a hit.
**[14:34] Naomi**
Um...
**[14:36] Naomi**
It sounded like you wouldn't make
a decision in a million years
**[14:40] Naomi**
if you kept going with the shoulds and
the coulds you all seem to love,
**[14:43] Naomi**
so I called him!
**[14:47] All**
President!
**[14:48] Kuni**
I am so sorry.
**[14:50] Kuni**
As soon as our work is done,
**[14:51] Kuni**
I'll gather information with Tanizaki and...
**[14:53] Fuku**
That won't be necessary.
**[14:56] Fuku**
Listen up, all of you.
**[14:57] Fuku**
Our newest member has been abducted.
**[14:59] Fuku**
Everyone work on finding him.
**[15:01] Fuku**
I order the current task suspended
**[15:03] Fuku**
until he has been safely returned to us.
**[15:05] Rampo**
Suspended?
**[15:06] Kuni**
But there is the escort job...
**[15:09] Fuku**
I'll contact the client.
**[15:12] Fuku**
Don't worry.
**[15:13] Fuku**
They owe me enough that I can afford
to let a minor official wait.
**[15:16] Rampo**
President, are you sure about this?
**[15:19] Fuku**
About what, Rampo?
**[15:21] Rampo**
Well, if you think about
the rationale behind it—
**[15:24] Fuku**
One of our own is in danger.
**[15:25] Fuku**
We must help him.
**[15:27] Fuku**
What greater rationale do
we need in this world?
**[15:35] Fuku**
Kunikida.
**[15:36] Kuni**
Sir.
**[15:37] Fuku**
Bring him back to us in three hours.
**[15:39] Kuni**
Understood!
**[15:47] Dazai**
* If I predicted correctly,*
* by now they should be...*
**[15:51] Dazai**
It's about time.
**[15:54] Chuuya**
Plotting as usual?
**[15:57] Dazai**
That voice...
***SIGN*** Port Mafia Executive Nakahara Chuuya
**[15:59] Chuuya**
This is nice.
**[16:00] Chuuya**
This is a great view.
***SIGN*** Ability: For The Tainted Sorrow
**[16:02] Chuuya**
It rivals even a masterpiece

**[16:05] Chuuya**
Wouldn't you agree, Dazai?
**[16:07] Dazai**
Gross!
**[16:09] Dazai**
Man, gross!
**[16:12] Chuuya**
I like your reaction.
**[16:14] Chuuya**
It makes me want to strangle you.
**[16:19] Dazai**
You haven't changed at all, Chuuya.
**[16:22] Chuuya**
Oh?!
**[16:22] Chuuya**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[16:23] Dazai**
I've always wondered about this,
**[16:26] Dazai**
but where do you get your embarrassing hats?
**[16:28] Chuuya**
Say what you want, vagabond!
**[16:30] Chuuya**
I bet you're still going on and on about
suicide despite your age, aren't you?
**[16:34] Dazai**
Yeah.
**[16:35] Chuuya**
At least pretend to deny that.
**[16:38] Chuuya**
But now, you're just a sad little prisoner.
**[16:42] Chuuya**
It's enough to make you cry, eh, Dazai?
**[16:44] Chuuya**
No...
**[16:45] Chuuya**
It's actually a little too convenient.
**[16:48] Chuuya**
You may be able to deceive
that apprentice, Akutagawa,
**[16:51] Chuuya**
but not me.
**[16:52] Chuuya**
After all, I'm your old partner.
**[16:58] Chuuya**
What's your play?
**[17:00] Dazai**
My play? It's just what it looks like.
**[17:03] Dazai**
Get caught, and wait to be executed.
**[17:05] Chuuya**
There's no way the Dazai I know would be
caught through bad luck or gross negligence.
**[17:08] Chuuya**
If you were that foolish,
**[17:10] Chuuya**
I would've killed you long ago.
**[17:12] Dazai**
You're overthinking this.
**[17:14] Dazai**
Besides, why'd you come
here in the first place?
**[17:16] Chuuya**
To harass you.
**[17:19] Chuuya**
You toyed with me all you wanted back then.
**[17:23] Chuuya**
But...
**[17:27] Chuuya**
There's usually payback for
it ten times over later.
**[17:31] Chuuya**
I don't know what you're planning,
**[17:33] Chuuya**
but fight me, Dazai.
**[17:36] Chuuya**
I'll crush you right
along with your schemes.
**[17:39] Dazai**
Chuuya...
**[17:40] Chuuya**
Yeah?
**[17:44] Chuuya**
So you could've escaped any time?
**[17:46] Dazai**
You, stop *my* plans?
**[17:48] Dazai**
You must be joking.
**[17:51] Chuuya**
I'm liking this turn of events!
**[17:58] Kuni**
Scan through all the security
camera footage in the city!
**[18:00] Kuni**
Everything from the past six hours!
**[18:02] Kuni**
Oh, right!
**[18:03] Kuni**
Where's the Chamber of Commerce
and Industry ledger?
**[18:05] Kenji**
Here.
**[18:07] Rampo**
Oh, this is no good.
**[18:08] Rampo**
This doesn't have any comic strips.
**[18:10] Rampo**
Kenji-kun!
**[18:12] Kenji**
Yes?
**[18:12] Rampo**
Can you look into whether there are
any good homicide cases nearby?
**[18:16] Kenji**
Sure,
**[18:17] Kenji**
but the president won't
be happy with you later.
**[18:20] Rampo**
Never mind, then.
**[18:23] Kuni**
Here!
**[18:26] Kuni**
This photo was provided by one of the
tourists who witnessed the abduction.
**[18:30] Fuku**
You can find trucks like that anywhere.
**[18:32] Kuni**
Yes.
**[18:33] Kuni**
The license plate was fake, as well.
**[18:34] Kuni**
But there are only a handful
of places in Yokohama
**[18:36] Kuni**
that can do this kind of vehicle work.
**[18:39] Kuni**
After Kenji went around to all the
repair shops we could think of,
**[18:42] Kuni**
they were more than happy to tell us more.
**[18:44] Kuni**
The truck's owned by Karma Transit.
**[18:47] Kuni**
They're mules who started off
in the smuggling business.
**[18:50] Fuku**
So they can tell us where he was taken.
**[18:54] Kuni**
Yes.
**[18:55] Kuni**
They're the only ones
outside of the Port Mafia
**[18:57] Kuni**
who might know everything
about the abduction.
**[19:01] Kuni**
Tanizaki is on standby at the site.
**[19:04] Kuni**
He can go in any time.
**[19:07] Tani**
Understood.
**[19:08] Tani**
I'll infiltrate the building now.
**[19:10] Kuni**
What's the sitrep?
**[19:11] Tani**
It's quiet like the bottom of a lake.
**[19:14] Tani**
There are no signs of anyone—
**[19:18] Tani**
wait!
***SIGN*** Karma Transit
**[19:23] Tani**

**[19:25] Tani**
They were one step ahead of us!
**[19:26] Kuni**
Hey, what's the matter?
**[19:28] Tani**
They were prevented from talking to us.
**[19:30] Tani**
They're all dead.
**[19:37] Kuni**
It's Akutagawa.
**[19:38] Yosano**
What are we going to do?
**[19:39] Yosano**
Our only lead just went poof.
**[19:50] Fuku**
Rampo...
**[19:53] Fuku**
It's your turn.
**[19:55] Rampo**
Do I have to?
**[19:57] Kuni**
Rampo-san!
**[19:58] Kuni**
Please, just this time!
**[19:59] Fuku**
Rampo, if you manage to bring the
rookie back safe and sound...
**[20:03] Rampo**
Will I get a special bonus?
**[20:05] Rampo**
A promotion?
**[20:06] Rampo**
There's no need. After all...
**[20:09] Fuku**
I'll give you praise.
**[20:20] Rampo**
W-Well, if you're going that far,
I guess I don't have a choice!
**[20:24] Rampo**
All right!

**[20:32] [SONG] Sign 2034**
Ultra-Deduction
**[20:47] Rampo**
Hmm, I see.
**[20:51] Rampo**
Atsushi-kun's location is...
**[20:53] Rampo**
here!
**[20:55] Rampo**
The vessel's traveling at 20
knots toward the open sea.
**[20:59] Rampo**
He's still alive... at least for now.
**[21:04] Kuni**
The sea...
**[21:07] Fuku**
They're shipping him overseas, then.
**[21:09] Kuni**
That's not good.
**[21:11] Kuni**
Once he's out of the country,
**[21:12] Kuni**
we can't touch him.
**[21:14] Fuku**
Kunikida...
**[21:16] Fuku**
Use this.
**[21:20] Fuku**
It's the Agency's high-speed
vessel docked at port.
**[21:24] Fuku**
Bring him back, no matter what.
**[21:28] Kuni**
Understood.
**[21:30] Kuni**
I will now go rescue Nakajima Atsushi!
**[21:36] Kuni**
*Don't die, brat...*
**[21:39] Kuni**
**[23:11] Aku**
Do you know what it's
like to be at the nadir?
**[23:13] Aku**
It is an infinite darkness
where no light shines.
**[23:17] Aku**
Weretiger, teach her what it's like.
**[23:19] Aku**
To help no one,
**[23:21] Aku**
to be counted on by no one,
**[23:23] Aku**
and to live in hiding,
trembling like a worm.
**[23:27] Naka**
Akutagawa, this ends now.
**[23:29] Naka**
I can't forgive you for this!
**[23:31] Aku**
Neither can I!

**[00:15] Kuni**
Don't die, brat!
**[00:17] ---**
**[01:54] Chuuya**
You call that a punch?!
**[01:58] Chuuya**
It doesn't even count as a massage.
**[02:00] Chuuya**
Your martial arts skills are
below average for the Port Mafia.
**[02:04] Chuuya**
Your ability to neutralize
gifts is a nuisance,
**[02:06] Chuuya**
but I don't even need to
use mine at this point.
**[02:08] Chuuya**
Get up.
**[02:10] Chuuya**
The party's just getting started.
**[02:14] D**
You're not the Port Mafia's top
martial artist for nothing.
**[02:17] D**
Whoops.
**[02:19] D**
I thought my blocking arm'd get torn off.
**[02:22] Chuuya**
*He blocked my strike with his
arm at the last second?*
**[02:25] Chuuya**
*He's predicting my attacks.*
**[02:27] D**
We've known each other a long time.
**[02:30] D**
I'm totally familiar with your
moves, pacing, and habits.
**[02:34] D**
I wouldn't have been a proper
partner otherwise, right?
**[02:39] D**
*He's fast!*
**[02:39] Chuuya**
Then I bet you saw this coming, too!
**[02:43] Chuuya**
This is how you throw a punch!
**[02:48] Chuuya**
You thought you could beat me just
because you can predict my moves?
**[02:53] Chuuya**
Tell me before you die.
**[02:54] Chuuya**
Why'd you let yourself get caught?
**[02:57] Chuuya**
What were you waiting for here?
**[03:01] Chuuya**
Heh, the silent treatment?
**[03:03] Chuuya**
Fine.
**[03:04] Chuuya**
I'll just have more fun torturing you.
**[03:08] D**
The main reason...
**[03:10] D**
is Atsushi-kun.
**[03:11] Chuuya**
Atsushi?
**[03:13] D**
The weretiger you're all obsessed with.
**[03:16] D**
I wanted to know who put the seven
billion yen price tag on his head.
**[03:21] Chuuya**
You wanted to know badly enough
to put your own life on the line?
**[03:23] Chuuya**
I'd like to say that's heartwarming...
**[03:26] Chuuya**
but look where you ended up.
**[03:30] Chuuya**
Guess even geniuses end up
less than average, eh,
**[03:33] Chuuya**
youngest executive in the mafia's history?
**[03:35] Chuuya**
Well, you've been deserted by lady luck.
**[03:38] Chuuya**
After all, you got caught
the very day I got back
**[03:43] Chuuya**
from suppressing squabbles in the West.
**[03:45] Chuuya**
From my perspective, it was a stroke of luck.
**[03:49] Chuuya**
What's so funny?
**[03:51] D**
Let me tell you something that's good to know.
**[03:53] D**
There will be a meeting between
the top five executives tomorrow.
**[03:55] Chuuya**
Impossible.
**[03:57] Chuuya**
That's a meeting of critical importance
that only occurs once every several years,
**[03:59] Chuuya**
to determine what direction
to take as an organization.
**[04:01] Chuuya**
If there were going to be one,
**[04:05] Chuuya**
I would've been notified.
**[04:07] D**
The reason it's happening is a certain
letter I sent the other day to
**[04:10] D**
the upper echelons of the organization.
**[04:11] D**
So, I'm going to predict this now.
**[04:15] D**
You're not going to kill me.
**[04:18] D**
Moreover, you'll tell me where to
find information on who's paying
**[04:22] D**
the weretiger bounty
before leaving this room.
**[04:25] D**
And when you leave, you'll walk
and talk like a little rich girl.
**[04:28] Chuuya**
What?
**[04:30] D**
My predictions always come true.
**[04:33] ---**
I think you know that.
**[04:35] Chuuya**
What can you even hope for in this situation?
**[04:37] Chuuya**
A letter?
**[04:39] Chuuya**
You mentioned a letter?
**[04:41] D**
The letter said this:
***SIGN*** Should Dazai fall, all of your
secrets will come to light.
**[04:44] D**
"Should Dazai fall,
**[04:47] D**
all of your secrets will come to light."
**[04:51] Chuuya**
You bastard, you didn't...
**[04:53] D**
So now you've caught a former
executive turned traitor.
**[04:57] D**
But the package included a
letter to the upper echelons
**[05:00] D**
that, if I die, all of the organization's
secrets will be disclosed.
**[05:04] D**
If the public prosecutor's office
gets a hold of those secrets,
**[05:07] D**
all the Port Mafia executives can
be executed a hundred times over.
**[05:09] D**
That's more than enough of a
threat to trigger the meeting.
**[05:12] Chuuya**
The Port Mafia aren't so
feeble that a threat like
**[05:14] ---**
that'd make them wait and see what happens.
**[05:16] Chuuya**
You'll die!
**[05:17] Chuuya**
There will be an execution!
**[05:18] D**
Probably.
**[05:20] D**
But that'll be the council's decision.
**[05:23] D**
If you execute me before that
decision without permission,
**[05:26] D**
your unsanctioned act will be
considered an act of betrayal.
**[05:29] D**
You'll be discharged or, at worst, executed.
**[05:32] Chuuya**
And even if I look past all of
those factors and kill you,
**[05:37] Chuuya**
you'll just be happy because
you managed to die.
**[05:39] D**
So yeah, go ahead if you want.
**[05:44] D**
Come on, hurry.
**[05:46] D**
Come onnnn.
**[05:59] D**
Oh...
**[06:00] D**
You're not going to?
**[06:02] D**
"Chuuya driven out of the
organization because of me"
**[06:05] ---**
had a nice ring to it, too.
**[06:09] Chuuya**
Don't tell me...
**[06:11] (Flashback) D**
The greatest reason...
**[06:13] (Flashback) D**
is Atsushi-kun.
**[06:14] Chuuya**
So your second reason was to force me
to make that impossible choice just now?
**[06:21] (Flashback) Dazai**
Besides, why'd you come
here in the first place?
**[06:23] (Flashback) Chuuya**
To harass you.
**[06:26] Chuuya**
In actuality, you were waiting to harass me.
**[06:31] D**
It's a reunion long in the making.
**[06:33] D**
A surprise of this caliber is only fair.
**[06:37] Chuuya**
I'll have you die...
**[06:38] Chuuya**
I'll have you die someday, I swear.
**[06:40] D**
By the way...
**[06:42] D**
You're the one who broke
my chains and freed me.
**[06:46] D**
If I just run away now,
**[06:47] D**
you'll be suspected of aiding my escape.
**[06:51] Chuuya**
You bastard!
**[06:52] Dazai**
If you do as I say,
**[06:53] Dazai**
I could make it look like someone
from the Agency came to rescue me.
**[06:57] Chuuya**
Why should I believe you?!
**[06:59] D**
I don't lie in these kinds of negotiations.
**[07:02] D**
I think you know that.
**[07:03] Chuuya**
Bastard...
**[07:05] Chuuya**
What do you want?
**[07:06] D**
I said it earlier.
**[07:08] Chuuya**
If it's about that weretiger,
**[07:10] Chuuya**
Akutagawa's leading the operation.
**[07:11] Chuuya**
He should have records in the communications
storage room on the second floor.
**[07:15] D**
I see.
**[07:16] D**
Well, I had my guesses about that.
**[07:19] Chuuya**
Oh?!
**[07:20] Chuuya**
Just finish what you came here
for and get outta here, you ass.
**[07:23] D**
Why, thank you.
**[07:25] D**
But I have one correction:
**[07:27] D**
my dream right now is to commit
double-suicide with a beautiful woman,
**[07:30] D**
so being kicked to death by you wouldn't
make me happy in the slightest.
**[07:34] D**
Sorry.
**[07:35] Chuuya**
Uh-huh.
**[07:36] Chuuya**
I'll try to find a beautiful woman
willing to kill herself next time.
**[07:40] D**
Chuuya.
**[07:41] D**
I had no idea you were a good person!
**[07:44] Chuuya**
It's my way of saying go to hell, idiot!
**[07:47] Chuuya**
Let me tell you this, Dazai.
**[07:50] Chuuya**
Don't think this is the end of it!
**[07:52] Chuuya**
There will be no second chance!
**[07:53] Chuuya**
No, wrong!
**[07:55] Chuuya**
Don't you think you're forgetting something?
**[07:57] Chuuya**
Don't-you-think-you're-forgetting-something?
**[08:08] Chuuya**
There will be no second chance.
**[08:14] Chuuya**
N-N-No second chance.
**[08:16] Chuuya**
Hey, you should be laughing!
**[08:31] Naka**
Huh?
**[08:33] Naka**
Did you... come to rescue me?
**[08:44] Aku**
I struck to kill,
**[08:47] Aku**
but it seems the tiger's healing power
is in effect, if in incomplete form.
**[08:51] Naka**
*Where am I?*
**[08:53] Naka**
*Am I at sea?*
**[08:55] Aku**
You're on a smuggling ship that
carries weapons and munitions,
**[08:59] Aku**
though it's been reserved
solely for you today.
**[09:02] Aku**
Enjoy your last voyage for the next
few hours before we hand you over.
**[09:07] Naka**
*There's no point.*
**[09:09] Naka**
*I can't win against him.*
**[09:11] Naka**
* I'll have to find an opening*
* and make a run for it...*
**[09:13] Aku**
The weak will die.
**[09:16] Aku**
Die, and make way for others.
**[09:19] Naka**
*Why does he have so much hatred for me?*
**[09:25] Aku**
Did you find yourself moved
by being in the outside world,
**[09:29] Aku**
Kyouka?
**[09:30] Kyouka**
Let him go.
**[09:37] Aku**
Do you know what it's
like to be at the nadir?
**[09:40] Aku**
There is only the mire,
a foul stench, and self-pity.
**[09:45] Aku**
At times, someone will look
in from an opening far above,
**[09:49] Aku**
but no one notices you.
**[09:51] Aku**
With every breath, your
wretchedness burns your lungs.
**[09:55] Aku**
That's what's waiting for
you out there, Kyouka.
**[09:59] Aku**
Demon Snow is slaughter made flesh.
**[10:02] Aku**
Yet you think you can live a normal
life outside of the Port Mafia?
**[10:06] Aku**
Weretiger, teach her what it's like.
**[10:09] Aku**
To help no one,
**[10:11] Aku**
to be counted on by no one,
**[10:13] Aku**
and to live in hiding,
trembling like a worm.
**[10:21] Aku**
Continue killing, Kyouka,
**[10:23] Aku**
as the Port Mafia's assassin.
**[10:26] Aku**
If not, stop breathing.
**[10:29] Aku**
Worthless human beings don't
have the right to breathe.
**[10:33] Kyouka**
You may be right...
**[10:36] Kyouka**
But...
**[10:38] Kyouka**
The crepes were delicious...
**[10:45] Kuni**
Where are you, brat?!
**[10:47] Kuni**
Brat!
**[10:47] Naka**
Kunikida-san?
**[10:49] Aku**
So the Agency's found us already?
**[10:52] Kyouka**
Run while you still can.
**[10:54] Kyouka**
This ship isn't going to
reach the meeting spot.
**[10:57] Aku**
Where else is it going?
**[10:59] Kyouka**
The nadir.
**[11:04] Naka**
Hey!
**[11:05] Kyouka**
Run!
**[11:06] Aku**
Weretiger!
**[11:11] Aku**
You set explosives in the armory?
**[11:14] Aku**
You're trying to die, aren't you.
**[11:17] Aku**
Is that man worth saving
at the cost of your life?
**[11:24] Kuni**
Brat!
**[11:26] Kuni**
Over here, brat!
**[11:27] Kuni**
I can't come any closer
because of the explosions!
**[11:29] Kuni**
Jump!
**[11:30] Naka**
*I'm making it out alive…*
**[11:31] Naka**
*I'm safe now.*
**[11:33] Kuni**
What are you doing? Hurry up!
**[11:34] Kuni**
The ship's going to sink!
**[11:39] Kuni**
You idiot!
**[11:41] Kuni**
How much more trouble are you
going to cause the Agency?
**[11:43] Kuni**
Everyone's working unpaid right now!
**[11:47] Naka**
What about her?
**[11:48] Kuni**
Let that girl go!
**[11:51] Kuni**
Not all innocents always get saved.
**[11:53] Kuni**
I've failed many times, too!
**[11:56] Kuni**
That's the kind of city we're
in, and the job we have!
**[11:59] Naka**
She can't be saved?
**[12:02] Kuni**
That's right.
**[12:03] Kuni**
We're not heroes.
**[12:06] Kuni**
I've wished so many times that we were.
**[12:10] Kuni**
But we're not!
**[12:13] Kuni**
Brat!
**[12:15] Naka**
She...
**[12:18] Naka**
She said the crepe she
had with me tasted great.
**[12:22] Naka**
She was told worthless human
beings have no right to breathe,
**[12:25] Naka**
and she thought maybe that is true.
**[12:29] Naka**
I don't think so.
**[12:31] Naka**
Because Dazai-san... the Agency...
didn't give up on me!
**[12:36] Naka**
I'm going!
**[12:37] Kuni**
Hey!
**[12:43] Kuni**
Run!
**[12:44] Kuni**
Run, Atsushi!
**[12:48] Aku**
Kyouka, is this the path you've chosen?
**[12:52] Aku**
Out of appreciation for your hard work thus far,
**[12:54] Aku**
I'll lay you to rest.
**[12:58] Aku**
Die.
**[13:11] Naka**
Face me, Akutagawa!
***SIGN*** Episode 10: Rashoumon and the Tiger
**[13:24] Aku**
It now seems curious to me,
**[13:27] Aku**
but I felt things between us
would end this way eventually.
**[13:31] Naka**
You'll miss out on the bounty.
**[13:33] Aku**
Don't worry.
**[13:35] Aku**
I have no intentions of handing
you over to them alive.
**[13:39] Naka**
I can't forgive you.
**[13:42] Aku**
The same goes for me.
**[13:54] Aku**
Rashoumon!
**[14:10] Naka**
* It's the same devoured space*
* that stopped bullets before.*
**[14:13] Naka**
* As long as it's there,*
* my attacks can't get through.*
**[14:17] Aku**
How futile.
**[14:20] Aku**
Is this the best you can do, weretiger?
**[14:23] Aku**
Slow torture is not one of my hobbies.
**[14:26] Aku**
If you must, curse your own weakness.
**[14:29] Aku**
You are a weakling who deluded
himself into thinking he was strong
**[14:33] Aku**
for having joined an armed
organization like the Agency.
**[14:37] Aku**
Your membership was merely
due to coincidence and luck.
**[14:41] Naka**
You're quite the talker today.
**[14:43] Aku**
I don't recall ever identifying
myself as a mute.
**[14:47] Naka**
It's just like you say.
**[14:49] Naka**
I am weak.
**[14:50] Naka**
But I do have one advantage.
**[14:53] Aku**
And what's that?
**[14:54] Naka**
I can defeat you!
**[14:56] Aku**
You reversed your tiger paws
to free your arms?!
**[15:09] Naka**
*I thought so.*
**[15:10] Naka**
* It takes time to activate*
* the devoured space barrier.*
**[15:13] Naka**
* I'll just use my speed*
* to push my attacks then!*
**[15:16] Naka**
What?!
**[15:17] Aku**
I don't have the time to go along
with childish fistfights…
**[15:19] Aku**
Sorry, but I'll just observe
your efforts from up here!
**[15:25] Naka**
* Having this distance between*
* us works to his advantage.*
**[15:27] Naka**
*I have to close the gap somehow...*
**[15:35] Naka**
Shit!
**[15:42] Aku**
* There's less than five minutes left*
* before the ship is completely submerged.*
**[15:47] Aku**
* He leapt using a fragment*
* blown from the explosion?*
**[15:59] (Flashback) D**
Your ability's slow to activate.
**[16:01] (Flashback) D**
The enemy won't wait for you to get up.
**[16:04] (Flashback) D**
Now, get up.
**[16:06] (Flashback) D**
Retaliate with your ability.
**[16:20] (Flashback) D**
That's not enough to survive
in the Port Mafia!
**[16:23] (Flashback) D**
Or perhaps you want to return to
being a stray dog in the slums?
**[16:35] (Flashback) D**
Good.
**[16:36] (Flashback) D**
Again.
**[16:43] Naka**
I have to take her to Kunikida-san
before the ship sinks!
**[16:52] Aku**
Why…
**[16:54] Aku**
Why is it you?!
**[17:00] Aku**
Your ability is but newly
learned, a crude addition...
**[17:05] Aku**
It's full of flaws and you
use it with poor planning!
**[17:08] Aku**
And yet…
**[17:10] Aku**
Why is it you?!
**[17:12] Naka**
There it is again.
**[17:14] Naka**
*His hatred for me...*
**[17:16] Naka**
*Where does such hatred come from?*
**[17:19] (Flashback) D**
I wonder if you can.
**[17:23] (Flashback) D**
My new subordinate is much better than you.
**[17:28] Aku**
I won't let him say that.
**[17:30] Aku**
I won't let him say such things ever again!
**[17:37] Aku**

**[17:58] Naka**
Why...
**[18:00] Aku**
*My attack was a direct strike.*
**[18:02] Aku**
*He can't possibly move...*
**[18:03] Naka**
You're so powerful.
**[18:07] Naka**
Why'd you have to use her?
**[18:11] Aku**
I didn't use her.
**[18:13] Aku**
Demon Snow is an ability to kill.
**[18:16] Aku**
Only when killing someone does
Kyouka's existence have meaning.
**[18:20] Aku**
If she does not kill, she is worthless.
**[18:23] Aku**
I merely gave her value.
**[18:26] Aku**
To make her worthy to live.
**[18:29] Naka**
That's the thing.
**[18:31] Naka**
You don't get to decide whether
someone is worthy of being alive!
**[18:39] Naka**
Why couldn't you tell
her something different?
**[18:44] Naka**
People need to be told they're worthy
of being alive by someone else
**[18:46] Naka**
or they can't go on.
**[18:48] Naka**
Why can't you understand
**[18:49] Naka**
such a simple thing?!
**[18:54] Aku**
*He tore Rashoumon apart?*
**[18:56] Aku**
*The tiger's ultra-regeneration!*
**[19:00] Aku**
*I can't let him get close!*

Well, she looks good in anything.

No, that's not what I'm talking about...

**[00:45] Kuni**
Don't look at me like that.
**[00:47] Kuni**
I tried to stop them, too.
**[00:48] Naka**
I wonder if this is going to work out.
**[00:50] Tani**
Maybe it's not such a good idea.
**[00:52] Naka**
Even if everyone else is okay with it,

Oh, don't worry about that.

then put the two powders in the container,

Rampo-san, you're a terrible person!
**[01:29] Naka**
Well, it is just like him to do that...
**[01:32] Naka**
So, who called her over to the Agency?
**[01:36] Fuku**
It was me.
**[01:38] Naka**
President!
**[01:41] Fuku**
Any movement from the police?
**[01:43] Kuni**
Thanks to the Port Mafia's
attempts to erase her identity,
**[01:46] Kuni**
they haven't tracked down who she is yet...
**[01:48] Fuku**
But she'll be a wanted fugitive soon.
**[01:54] Kyouka**
Please let me stay here.
**[01:56] Naka**
What?
**[01:58] Kyouka**
I'll do anything.
**[01:59] Kuni**
I don't recommend it.
**[02:01] Kuni**
It's not because you were
with the Port Mafia,
**[02:04] Kuni**
or because we don't have work.
**[02:06] Kuni**
But don't do it.
**[02:07] Kuni**
It's not easy, the world we live in.
**[02:09] Naka**
Besides, if you stay here,
**[02:11] Naka**
the Mafia will find you eventually.
**[02:12] Naka**
Shouldn't you run somewhere far away?
**[02:15] Kyou**
He said...
**[02:16] Kyou**
that I could do nothing
else but kill people.
**[02:20] Kyou**
I want to prove to myself that he's wrong.

capturing the weretiger,

**[05:35] Man**
It is allowed to desire and
kill anything and anyone.
**[05:39] Man**
Retaliation in kind is a matter
of expenditure and liability.
**[05:43] Higuchi**
But... liability?
**[05:46] Higuchi**
Akutagawa-senpai has accomplished
much in his missions thus far...
**[05:49] Man**
Indeed, Akutagawa-kun is competent.
**[05:52] Man**
His propensity for violence is high,
even for our organization.
**[05:55] Man**
But what about you?
**[05:58] Man**
Higuchi-kun,
**[06:00] Man**
have you ever felt that you are
actually suited for this job?
***SIGN*** Episode 11: First, an Unsuitable Profession for Her.
**[06:15] Higuchi**
I look horrible.
**[06:19] Hirotsu**
That's quite enough for rehearsals, Gin.
**[06:25] Higuchi**
The Black Lizard.
**[06:26] Tachi**
Gin's often stuck with dark jobs like
infiltration and assassination.
**[06:31] Tachi**
It's not unusual for him to have
to slit the throat of one of our own
**[06:33] Tachi**
by the higher-ups' command.
**[06:35] Tachi**
When it's for real, you won't
even have time to be surprised.
**[06:38] Higuchi**
You're saying the boss will terminate me?
**[06:41] Hirotsu**
Not at the moment.
**[06:43] Hirotsu**
But I don't know about tomorrow.
**[06:46] Higuchi**
Are you here to mock me?
**[06:48] Hirotsu**
If I were in your situation,
**[06:50] Hirotsu**
I'd rethink my current position before
an assassin arrives at my doorstep.
**[06:55] Hirotsu**
You, along with Akutagawa-kun,
**[06:57] Hirotsu**
are a strike force under the
boss's direct supervision.
**[06:59] Hirotsu**
As such, you have the authority to give
orders to us in the combat squad.
**[07:02] Hirotsu**
In that sense, you are our superior.
**[07:04] Hirotsu**
But what makes us obey is not your authority,
***SIGN*** Rashoumon
**[07:09] Hirotsu**
but fear and respect for the
ability Akutagawa-kun wields.
**[07:15] Hirotsu**
Higuchi-kun...
**[07:17] Hirotsu**
During the time Akutagawa-kun
is incapacitated,
**[07:20] Hirotsu**
do you possess something
that motivates us to obey?
**[07:28] (Flashback) Aku**
I don't need your help!
**[07:35] (Flashback) Higuchi**
Akutagawa-senpai!
**[07:36] (Flashback) Higuchi**
Even for you, this would be suicide!
**[07:38] (Flashback) Higuchi**
You're walking right into a
building full of security guards!
**[07:41] (Flashback) Higuchi**
You didn't even give us subordinates
any orders about how to support you—
**[07:44] (Flashback) Aku**
Shut up!
**[07:45] (Flashback) Aku**
What would you know about any of this?
**[07:52] (Flashback) Aku**
That's a beacon.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Aku**
A beacon visible from anywhere in the city.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Aku**
It is a powerful beacon that
*will* be seen by the one
**[07:59] (Flashback) Aku**
who left without a word,
**[08:01] (Flashback) Aku**
and without acknowledging my power.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Higuchi**
But it's my job to help you!
**[08:07] (Flashback) Aku**
I don't need your help!
**[08:11] (Flashback) Aku**
I need no one's help!
**[08:23] Higuchi**
I'm back.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Man**
Have you ever felt that you are
actually suited for this job?
**[08:31] Higuchi**
Of course not...
**[08:57] Higuchi**
Yes? This is Higuchi.
**[08:59] Higuchi**
What?!
**[09:05] Hirotsu**
I urge you to reconsider.
**[09:07] Hirotsu**
Your actions are contrary to
what the brass would want.
**[09:09] Tachi**
Are you sane?
**[09:11] Tachi**
That's suicide!
**[09:13] Tachi**
Akutagawa was abducted by foreign mercs
**[09:15] Tachi**
hired by Karma Transit's remnants!
**[09:18] Tachi**
Not only do they have numbers on their side,
**[09:20] Tachi**
they're armed to the teeth!
**[09:23] Tachi**
The boss will eventually issue orders
to conduct a retrieval operation.
**[09:26] Tachi**
Wait until that happens!
**[09:27] Higuchi**
There will be no order!
**[09:29] Higuchi**
If we retaliate as an organization
against smugglers
**[09:32] Higuchi**
who targeted Akutagawa-senpai
as an individual,
**[09:34] Higuchi**
the ripple effect will trigger a
large-scale conflict with other organizations.
**[09:37] Higuchi**
To avoid that,
**[09:38] Higuchi**
the brass will turn a blind eye to a
personal dispute between individual members...
**[09:42] Higuchi**
Akutagawa-senpai has been cut off.
**[09:45] Tachi**
But what can you hope
to do by yourself?
**[09:49] Higuchi**
Nothing.
**[09:52] Higuchi**
Still!
**[09:53] Higuchi**
I can't stand by and do nothing!
**[09:58] Higuchi**
*I knew...*
**[10:00] Higuchi**
*I knew I wasn't suited for this job.*
**[10:02] Higuchi**
* I knew I didn't have my*
* subordinates' respect.*
**[10:06] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
If I were in your situation,
**[10:08] (Flashback) Hirotsu**
I'd rethink my current position before
an assassin arrives at my doorstep.
**[10:14] Higuchi**
*It's not easy to leave the Port Mafia,*
**[10:16] Higuchi**
*but it's not impossible.*
**[10:17] Higuchi**
*I've thought about it many times.*
**[10:20] Higuchi**
*Yet I didn't, because...*
**[10:56] Higuchi**
*Crap.*
**[10:58] Higuchi**
* I can't rescue Akutagawa-senpai*
* with this injury...*
**[11:31] Higuchi**
Yet I didn't, because...
**[11:46] Tachi**
Kill everyone you don't recognize!
**[11:57] Higuchi**
Why is the Black Lizard here?
**[12:00] Hirotsu**
You are our superior officer.
**[12:03] Hirotsu**
If our superior officer is in danger,
**[12:05] Hirotsu**
we must act.
**[12:09] Hirotsu**
I guess we're about done.
**[12:19] Higuchi**
Akutagawa-senpai...
**[12:24] Higuchi**
Senpai...
**[12:25] Higuchi**
Senpai!
**[12:32] Aku**
Higuchi?
**[12:36] Higuchi**
Senpai, you're bleeding.
**[12:43] Aku**
Sorry about all this.
**[12:49] Higuchi**
*It's not easy to leave the Port Mafia,*
**[12:51] Higuchi**
*but it's not impossible.*
**[12:55] Higuchi**
*Yet I didn't, because...*
**[13:01] Higuchi**
It's my job.
**[13:03] Higuchi**
**[13:07] Kuni**
You look after the girl.
**[13:10] Naka**
What, me?
**[13:12] Kuni**
Of course.
**[13:13] Kuni**
You saved her.
**[13:15] Naka**
Okay.
**[13:17] Police**
Excuse me.
**[13:19] Police**
We're from the city police.
**[13:20] Kenji**
Oh, welcome.
**[13:22] Rampo**
Oh?
**[13:23] Rampo**
You're Minoura-kun. Your subordinate
was arrested a while ago, right?
**[13:27] Mino**
We're here today on a
different matter, detective.
**[13:31] Mino**
We have a case.
***SIGN*** Episode 11 Second, an Ecstatic Detective Agency
**[13:37] Kenji**
They left as soon as they
were done talking business,
**[13:39] Kenji**
without even having had tea.
**[13:41] Kenji**
I guess policemen in cities are busy.
**[13:43] Kuni**
Where you're from, do the police
have lots of free time?
**[13:46] Kenji**
Everyone knows each other in my village.
**[13:49] Kenji**
Our policeman's job would
be fixing the well's pump,
**[13:53] Kenji**
rescuing cats from chimneys,
**[13:55] Kenji**
and tasting the year's first watermelon.
**[13:58] Kuni**
What the...
**[13:59] Kuni**
What happens if anyone commits a crime?
**[14:01] Kenji**
The perpertrator'd get tied up
and thrown off a cliff.
**[14:05] Naka**
Um, Kenji-san...
**[14:07] Kenji**
You can call me Kenji-kun.
**[14:09] Kenji**
Until two months ago, I was living
in a village called Ihatov
**[14:12] Kenji**
where there is neither
electricity nor telephones.
**[14:16] Kenji**
I was recruited by the president
and came to the city.
**[14:19] Kenji**
The city's full of new concepts.
I'm having a lot of fun.
**[14:22] Naka**
New? Like what?
***SIGN*** Isn't bartering good enough?
**[14:24] Kenji**
First, I don't really understand
the concept of money.
**[14:28] Naka**
I see...
**[14:30] Tani**
Kunikida-san,
**[14:31] Tani**
What should we about the request
from the city police earlier?
**[14:36] Kuni**
A car in motion blew up
for unknown reasons...
**[14:40] Tani**
It'll be a challenge.
The police have given up on it.
**[14:42] Kuni**
Atsushi, want to give this one a try?
**[14:45] Kuni**
Shadow another agent and
quickly learn the ropes.
**[14:48] Kuni**
You can do this.
**[14:51] Naka**
Got it.
**[14:53] Mob**
What's going on?
**[14:55] Mob**
What's that?
**[14:56] Kenji**
I heard a car was just going along
when it suddenly flew to there.
**[14:56] Mob**
Another explosion?
**[14:59] Naka**
I'm not sure I'm up for this...
**[15:02] Kenji**
The driver died on impact.
He hasn't been identified.
**[15:05] Naka**
Why not?
**[15:06] Naka**
Can't we identify people if their
fingerprints or teeth are intact?
**[15:10] Kenji**
Yes.
**[15:11] Kenji**
If they were intact.
**[15:12] Naka**
What?!
**[15:13] Naka**
Then...
**[15:13] Naka**
It's all mush inside that car...
**[15:17] Kenji**
All right,
**[15:18] Kenji**
Rampo-san would be able to solve
the case right away here,
***SIGN*** Yokohamabashi
**[15:21] Kenji**
but our task right now is
to gather information.
**[15:24] Gran**
Oh, Ken-chan.
**[15:26] Kenji**
Oh hello, Miss Maeda.
**[15:28] Gran**
Thank you for the boar meat the other day.
**[15:30] Gran**
It was delicious.
**[15:32] Kenji**
It was extra sent from my home.
**[15:34] Kenji**
It was nothing.
**[15:36] Naka**
"Miss"?
**[15:37] Kenji**
She'd be one of the
younger ladies at my village.
**[15:40] Guy**
Hey, boy.
**[15:41] Guy**
The vegetable garden I told you about,
**[15:43] Guy**
it doesn't drain very well.
**[15:46] Kenji**
It must be the soil in the rows.
**[15:48] Kenji**
I'll come take a look tomorrow.
**[15:49] Guy**
Thanks.
**[15:50] Naka**
You're really popular.
**[15:52] Man**
Hey, Ken-chan.
**[15:55] Man**
You on a job?
**[15:57] Kenji**
We're investigating the car explosion
that happened on that street.
**[16:02] Kenji**
Do you know anything?
**[16:04] Man**
Oh, that...
**[16:07] Man**
There are... rumors...
**[16:18] Man**
I'm not really supposed to talk about it,
**[16:20] Man**
but the young'uns were saying
that before it happened,
**[16:23] Man**
backstreet folks from the
factory district bought a load of fertilizer.
**[16:27] Kenji**
Fertilizer...
**[16:28] Kenji**
I wonder if they realized
the beauty of farming.
**[16:31] Man**
No, they were apparently talking
about manufacturing something...
**[16:35] Kenji**
Then it was probably nitrogen fertilizer.
**[16:37] Naka**
Nitrogen fertilizer?
**[16:39] Kenji**
It's an ingredient for building bombs.
**[16:40] Naka**
What?!
**[16:41] Kenji**
Thank you as always.
**[16:43] Kenji**
It was very helpful.
**[16:44] Man**
I'd do anything for you, Ken-chan.
**[16:45] Naka**
*We already have a lead...*
**[16:46] Man**
Let's stay friendly.
**[16:47] Naka**
*Kenji-kun's amazing.*
**[16:48] Kenji**
The same goes for me.
**[16:49] Kenji**
I'll be counting on you.
**[16:51] Kenji**
Speaking of the back streets
of the factory district,
**[16:53] Kenji**
there's a meeting hall for the
Gojo Youth Association there.
**[16:56] Naka**
Youth Association?
**[16:58] Kenji**
Put in city terms... a gang?
**[17:01] Nawka**
A... A gang?!
**[17:02] Kenji**
I wonder if they're the ones
who built the bomb.
**[17:06] Kenji**
Well, let's go ask them face to face.
**[17:09] Naka**
Wait a minute!
**[17:10] Naka**
Even if they were responsible,
**[17:11] Naka**
I doubt they'd admit to it.
**[17:13] Naka**
Won't it be risky?
**[17:14] Kenji**
If we are sincere in our
inquiries, they'll respond.
**[17:17] Kenji**
It's how things are.
**[17:18] Naka**
I-It's how things are?
**[17:21] Naka**
Is it?
**[17:24] Naka**
It's...
**[17:28] Naka**
I guess it *is* how things are!

**[17:38] Kuni**
What, with Kenji?!
**[17:39] Tani**
Yes, they went to the crime scene together.
**[17:42] Tani**
Kenji-kun's very competent.
**[17:44] Tani**
He's solved many difficult cases,
**[17:46] Tani**
so I doubt there'll be problems—
**[17:46] Kuni**
It's a huge problem!
**[17:48] Kuni**
Kenji's methods are too unique.
He's not a good role model!
**[17:51] Kuni**
But given how simplistic
and naïve Atsushi is,
**[17:54] Kuni**
he may easily take Kenji's
methods at face value
**[17:55] Kuni**
and believe them to be the gold standard!
***SIGN*** Best and Worst Team

made the car go flying?
**[18:06] Gang**
You're funny!
**[18:08] Gang**
You guys cops?
**[18:09] Kenji**
Not at all. We're with the
Armed Detective Agency.
**[18:13] Kenji**
Oh, nice chain!
**[18:16] Kenji**
You must be keeping one on you
**[18:18] Kenji**
to use when you need to haul cows.
**[18:20] Gang**
Don't touch me!
**[18:21] Gang**
What's your play?!
**[18:22] Kenji**
Oh, I just wanted you all to tell me
**[18:25] Kenji**
whether you're responsible for what happened.
**[18:26] Gang**
Huh?
**[18:30] Gang**
Don't know anything about it.
**[18:33] Gang**
Right?
**[18:35] Kenji**
I see!
**[18:36] Kenji**
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
**[18:38] Naka**
Huh?!
**[18:39] Kenji**
Thank you for your help.
**[18:41] Gang**
What?
**[18:44] Naka**
H-Hey, Kenji-kun?
**[18:46] Naka**
They were lying, no matter
how you try to look at it.
**[18:48] Naka**
They're the ones responsible!
**[18:50] Naka**
They might've used the bomb to kill someone
in an opposing gang, or something.
**[18:54] Kenji**
But they said they didn't know anything.
**[18:57] Naka**
Well, sure, but...
**[18:59] Kenji**
Be it with a cow or a person...
**[19:01] Kenji**
Be it in a village or a city,
**[19:03] Kenji**
if you are sincere, you can
communicate with others.
**[19:06] Kenji**
I've never failed using this method.
**[19:10] Naka**
R-Really?
**[19:12] Kenji**
Really.
**[19:17] Naka**

Yeah.

I love cows!
**[19:38] Kneji**
I love having cows, communing

**[19:44] Gang**
The bomb was used to kill
an enemy gang member.
**[19:48] Gang**
Who knew private investigators
would sniff us out...
**[19:52] Gang**
Since you left without
really questioning us,
**[19:54] Gang**
does that mean you found conclusive proof?
**[19:57] Gang**
You're gonna tell the cops, aren't you?
**[19:59] Gang**
We won't let you.

I'm glad you went through the
trouble to tell us the truth.
**[20:06] Gang**
Huh?

I knew sincere conversation
would lead to understanding.

In all of my cases, everyone

Good morning.

What?
**[02:00] Naka**
I wasn't told we were
going to be roommates!
**[02:02] D**
We don't have enough rooms, you see.
**[02:04] Naka**
But...
**[02:06] D**
She agreed.
**[02:07] Kyou**
It was an order.
**[02:09] D**
Don't you get it, Atsushi-kun?
**[02:13] Naka**
Get what?
**[02:14] D**
Without any kin,
she is as alone as can be.
**[02:18] D**
Besides, the Port Mafia may
send assassins after her.
**[02:21] Naka**
That's true.
**[02:23] D**
You should protect her.
**[02:24] Naka**
Okay, I'll do my best!

If you have the time to mess with Atsushi,

What?
**[02:42] D**
It'll be about the person who
placed a bounty on your head.
**[02:45] Naka**
You found out who?
**[02:46] D**
According to the Port Mafia's
communication records,
**[02:49] D**
the bounty was funded by
the leader of The Guild,
**[02:51] D**
a North American organization of the gifted.
**[02:54] Kuni**
The Guild is considered an urban legend.
**[02:57] Kuni**
Their agents are said to hold
key positions in finance,
**[02:59] Kuni**
politics, and the military.
**[03:01] Kuni**
They are a secret society who
use their limitless funds
**[03:04] Kuni**
and abilities to plot countless schemes.
**[03:07] Kuni**
Why would such a group want Atsushi?
**[03:16] Tani**
You need to come see this!
**[03:23] D**
It seems we've been preempted.
***SIGN*** Episode 12: Borne Back Ceaselessly Into the Past
**[03:37] Francis**
I'm glad to finally meet you,
**[03:39] Francis**
President Fukuna...
**[03:41] Francis**
Fukuda?
**[03:42] Fuku**
Fukuzawa.
**[03:43] Francis**
That's right!
**[03:44] Francis**
By the way, was it a bad move to
park the chopper on the road?
**[03:48] Fuku**
You have come a long way
from a foreign land.
**[03:53] Fuku**
So, what do you wish to discuss?
**[03:57] Fran**
Well, this is a rare design.
**[04:00] Fran**
And I consider myself something
of an expert in porcelain.
**[04:03] Fran**
What brand is this?
**[04:05] Fran**
Royal Blanc?
**[04:06] Fran**
Or is it perhaps El Zelga?
**[04:08] Naomi**
It's from Shimomura China and
Ceramics, next door.
**[04:11] Francis**
Oh, my apologies.
**[04:13] Francis**
Call me Francis, old sport.
**[04:17] Francis**
I lead an organization called
The Guild in North America.
**[04:21] Francis**
In addition, I personally own
**[04:23] Francis**
three conglomerates, five hotels,
**[04:25] Francis**
an airline, a railway company, and—
**[04:26] Fuku**
Mr. Francis.
**[04:28] Fuku**
I have received reports that
you used a bounty
**[04:31] Fuku**
to encourage the Port Mafia to attack us.
**[04:34] Fuku**
Is this true?
**[04:36] Francis**
Yes, that was my mistake.
**[04:38] Francis**
I had no idea that this country's
criminal organization
**[04:41] Francis**
would be so incompetent.
**[04:43] Francis**
To make amends, I come bearing
a profitable business deal.
**[04:46] Francis**
This company isn't so bad.
**[04:48] Francis**
The neighborhood is aesthetically
pleasing, as well.
**[04:50] Francis**
So...
**[04:53] Francis**
I'd like to buy this company.
**[04:55] Francis**
Don't get me wrong.
**[04:57] Francis**
I am quite capable of
buying all the properties
**[04:59] Francis**
visible from here along with your company.
**[05:01] Francis**
I have no interest in this
building or your employees.
**[05:05] Francis**
I am only interested in one thing.
**[05:06] Fuku**
You don't mean...
**[05:08] Francis**
Yes, I do.
**[05:09] Francis**
Hand over your Gifted Business Permit.
**[05:13] Francis**
For a group of gifted individuals
to legally open a business,
**[05:17] Francis**
they need a permit issued by the
Ministry of Internal Affairs'
**[05:19] Francis**
gifted special operations division.
**[05:22] Francis**
Those blockheads are about the only
ones you can't buy with money.
**[05:26] Francis**
After all, we are a secret society
with no official existence.
**[05:30] Francis**
In order to keep peace with the Ministry
**[05:32] Francis**
and do what we need to do to find
what we're looking for in this city,
**[05:35] Francis**
the permit is—
**[05:36] Fuku**
I refuse.
**[05:37] Francis**
What, this isn't enough?
**[05:40] Francis**
Then I'll add this.
**[05:44] Francis**
It's a limited edition model,
**[05:45] Francis**
made to order with diamonds.
**[05:48] Fuku**
Just as lives cannot be bought with money,
**[05:50] Fuku**
nothing is worth giving up our permit.
**[05:54] Fuku**
The permit is the beating
heart of this Agency.
**[05:56] Fuku**
It embodies the hope of
the special ops division,
**[05:58] Fuku**
as well as the spirit of Natsume-sensei,
**[06:01] Fuku**
who worked tirelessly to
obtain us the permit.
**[06:04] Fuku**
It is not meant to easily fall into
the hands of the filthy rich,
**[06:06] Fuku**
who have dollar bills for brains.
**[06:09] Francis**
So you're saying there are things
you can't buy with money?
**[06:12] Francis**
That's the mantra of the poor.
**[06:14] Francis**
Your bravado is pointless if all
of your employees disappear
**[06:18] Francis**
and your agency ceases to function.
**[06:20] Francis**
It'll be too late to change your mind then.
**[06:23] Fuku**
I'll take your advice to heart.
**[06:26] Fuku**
I suggest you leave.
**[06:29] Francis**
I'll be back.
**[06:31] Naomi**
Our visitors are leaving.
**[06:34] Kenji**
Okay!
**[06:35] Kenji**
I'll see you out!
**[06:37] Francis**
I'll post a message
in the morning newspaper.
**[06:40] Francis**
Take a good look at it, old sport.
**[06:43] Francis**
I always get what I want.
**[06:50] Lucy**
Nice hat.
**[06:52] Kenji**
Oh, really?
**[06:54] Kenji**
Thank you.
**[07:07] Lucy**
Well?
**[07:08] Lucy**
Does it look good on me?
**[07:09] James**
You'd look better in burlap.
**[07:12] Lucy**
What was that for?
**[07:14] Lucy**
Hmph.
**[07:18] Francis**
First, there was one.
***SIGN*** The Following
Morning
**[07:23] Kuni**
Hey, did you see the morning news?!
**[07:25] D**
It's on the TV, too.
**[07:27] TV**
*Please see for yourself.*
**[07:29] TV**
*A seven-story building
has vanished overnight.*
**[07:33] TV**
*According to one source,*
**[07:34] TV**
*the building housed a front
company for the Port Mafia.*
**[07:38] TV**
*It was allegedly used as
an office by their agents.*
**[07:40] Kuni**
So this is the message...
**[07:42] Tani**
Kenji-kun hasn't been back to
the dorm since seeing them off.
**[07:47] D**
So they'll annihilate
anyone who opposes them,
**[07:50] D**
be they the Port Mafia or the Agency.
**[07:53] Kuni**
Tanizaki, from now on, you're
prohibited from working alone!
**[07:56] Kuni**
Look for Kenji with Atsushi!
**[07:58] Kuni**
Dazai, you're with me!
**[08:00] Kuni**
We need to meet with the president.
**[08:01] Kuni**
We don't know what kind of
gifts they possess.
**[08:03] Kuni**
If you make contact with the enemy,
**[08:05] Kuni**
don't engage them. Run!
**[08:06] Naka**
Okay.

Naomi, you should go back to the Agency.
**[08:11] Tani**
It's too dangerous.

They can make entire buildings disappear.
**[08:14] Ougai**
Elise-chan?
**[08:14] Naomi**
It doesn't matter where I am.
**[08:15] Ougai**
Please come out, hey.
**[08:16] Naomi**
Right, Atsushi-san?
**[08:17] Naka**
W-Well, sure.
**[08:19] Tani**
Atsushi-kun!
**[08:20] Ougai**
Elise-chan, please.
**[08:20] Tani**
Unlike you, my sister isn't gifted!
**[08:23] Tani**
She'll hold us back.
**[08:23] Ougai**
Elise-chan?
**[08:24] Naomi**
How dare you!
**[08:25] Naomi**
You said you'd do anything I said!
**[08:25] Ougai**
Where are you?

That was yesterday when you were forcing me to—

you remember your pleasure—
**[08:44] Tani**

N-No way...
**[08:49] Tani**
Naomi?!
**[08:50] Tani**
Where are you?
**[08:51] Tani**
Where did you go, Naomi?!
**[08:53] Naka**
Is it an enemy attack?!
**[08:55] Tani**
Impossible.
**[08:56] Tani**
I didn't sense anything off.
**[08:58] Tani**
Naomi!
**[08:59] Naka**
Be careful, Tanizaki-san!
**[09:00] Ougai**
Where are you, Elise-chan?
**[09:03] Ougai**
Well, I'm in trouble now...
**[09:05] Tani**
Give Naomi back!
**[09:09] Tani**
Found you!
**[09:13] Tani**
Wait!
**[09:17] Lucy**
Let's play.
**[09:25] Lucy**
Welcome, everyone, to Anne's Chamber.
**[09:29] Lucy**
Oh, this is embarrassing.
**[09:30] Lucy**
So many people are looking right at me.
**[09:33] Lucy**
I'm not very good at talking to strangers.
**[09:36] Lucy**
But that won't do.
**[09:37] Lucy**
I have to give a proper explanation,
or everyone will be so lost.
**[09:40] Lucy**
After all, you were all brought
unawares to this strange place.
**[09:44] Lucy**
If I were you,
my heart would be pounding—
**[09:47] Tani**
Where's Naomi?
**[09:49] Lucy**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[09:50] Lucy**
I should explain that first.
**[09:53] Lucy**
Your agents are over there.
**[09:56] Tani**
Kenji-kun!
**[09:57] Tani**
Naomi!
**[10:00] Tani**
Damn it!
**[10:01] Tani**
Naomi!
**[10:01] Lucy**
It won't open without the key.
**[10:03] Lucy**
That one opens, though.
**[10:07] Naka**
They're all frozen.
**[10:09] Naka**
Has time come to a stop?
**[10:11] Lucy**
My name is Lucy.
**[10:14] Lucy**
This is a dimension
I created with my ability.
**[10:17] Lucy**
But worry not.
**[10:19] Lucy**
You can leave whenever you want,
through that white door.
**[10:22] Lucy**
That is, if you don't want
your colleagues back.
**[10:25] Tani**
What do you want?
**[10:27] Lucy**
That's easy.
**[10:28] Lucy**
I just want you to play
with Anne in this chamber.
**[10:31] Lucy**
Come, Anne.
***SIGN*** Guild Apprentice: Lucy M
***SIGN*** Ability: Anne of Abyssal Red
**[10:44] Lucy**
Anne loves to play.
**[10:46] Lucy**
She's a bit needy, but she's quite cute.
**[10:53] Lucy**
But if you leave through that door,
**[10:55] Lucy**
you'll forget everything
that happened in this room.
**[10:58] Lucy**
Do you get it, now?
**[11:02] Lucy**
Oh, my..
**[11:03] Lucy**
Only three of you are left?
**[11:05] Naka**
It's not safe here.
**[11:06] Naka**
You should run.
**[11:09] Ougai**
I'm looking for a girl.
**[11:11] Ougai**
She's lovely, just like an angel.
**[11:14] Ougai**
Have you see her?
**[11:16] Naka**
No, I'm sorry to say.
**[11:18] Ougai**
I see.
**[11:20] Ougai**
Her name is Elise-chan.
**[11:23] Ougai**
Anyway, ever since we've been separated,
**[11:25] Ougai**
I've been beside myself.
**[11:29] Ougai**
She may be behind that door.
**[11:32] Ougai**
If that's the case,
**[11:33] Ougai**
I'll regret running away
for the rest of my life.
**[11:36] Ougai**
So I'll stay, too.
**[11:38] Naka**
Okay.
**[11:40] Lucy**
The rules are simple.
**[11:41] Lucy**
Play tag with my lovely Anne.
**[11:44] Lucy**
If she tags you, you lose.
**[11:47] Lucy**
If you can open the door using that key
before she catches you, you win.
**[11:51] Lucy**
I'll return the hostages.
**[11:53] Lucy**
Well?
**[11:54] Lucy**
Who's in?
**[11:56] Tani**
Can two play at once?
**[11:58] Lucy**
Of course.
**[12:00] Lucy**
It's more fun if we play all together.
**[12:05] Naka**
* We can win if we use Tanizaki-san's*
* Light Snow ability to project illusions.*
**[12:09] Lucy**
Are you ready?
**[12:11] Tani**
Yeah.
**[12:12] Lucy**
Ready, set...
**[12:16] Lucy**
Go!
**[12:18] Naka**
*She's fast!*
**[12:21] Lucy**
Caught...
**[12:22] Lucy**
**[12:23] Lucy**
the first one!
**[12:28] Naka**
Tanizaki-san!
**[12:33] Lucy**
We've made yet another friend.
**[12:36] Lucy**
What a great day, Anne.
**[12:38] Lucy**
What? What's that?
**[12:40] Lucy**
You want more?
**[12:41] Lucy**
Well, then...
**[12:56] Lucy**
Wow, amazing!
**[12:58] Lucy**
I want to see more.
**[13:00] Lucy**
What a strong, useful ability...
**[13:04] Lucy**
I'm sure you were valued highly
from the moment you were born.
**[13:08] Lucy**
I heard you're an orphan.
**[13:10] Lucy**
I grew up in an orphanage, too.
**[13:13] Lucy**
It was a very cold place.
**[13:16] Lucy**
After using ice-cold rags
to clean the whole day,
**[13:20] Lucy**
my fingers would ache for days.
**[13:24] Lucy**
Given my ability,
**[13:26] Lucy**
everyone thought I was a freak.
**[13:29] Lucy**
I heard the Agency was desperate
to find you when you were taken.
**[13:34] Lucy**
How wonderful.
**[13:35] Lucy**
It must be because you have a great ability.
**[13:38] Naka**
I...
**[13:39] Lucy**
The Guild took me in because they
saw potential in my ability, too.
**[13:43] Lucy**
But there is no room for error in The Guild.
**[13:46] Lucy**
If I fail in this mission,
**[13:48] Lucy**
I will be tossed aside
like a used napkin.
**[13:51] Lucy**
Then I'll be all alone again.
**[13:55] Lucy**
Hey.
**[13:56] Lucy**
Why does it have to be you?
**[13:58] Lucy**
Why can't it be me?
**[14:01] Lucy**
It's so unfair.
**[14:03] Lucy**
You should know how I feel, too!
**[14:06] Lucy**
You should stay in this room forever!
**[14:11] Naka**
* The only way out is to put*
* the key in that door.*
**[14:17] Naka**
Okay!
**[14:18] Naka**
I win!
**[14:20] Ougai**
Watch out, boy!
**[14:21] Naka**
What?
**[14:27] Lucy**
Be careful. The key is important.
**[14:30] Naka**
I thought I'd win if I opened
the door with the key!
**[14:32] Lucy**
That's right. If you could open it.
**[14:35] Lucy**
I have no idea how to use
a key like this, myself.
**[14:41] Naka**
* So there was no way to*
* win in the first place.*
**[14:45] Lucy**
The real game starts now.
**[14:47] Lucy**
You seem to be a genius at tag,
**[14:51] Lucy**
but I wonder how long your
soul will last like this?
**[15:02] Naka**
*There's no way to counter this.*
**[15:04] Naka**
*I'll be caught eventually.*
**[15:06] Naka**
*I can't hope to turn the tide now.*
**[15:11] Naka**
* I have no choice but to hope that*
* Dazai-san and the others will come!*
**[15:13] Lucy**
You're going to run away,
leaving your friends behind?
**[15:15] Naka**
*Even if he were in this situation,*
**[15:16] Naka**
*Dazai-san'd think of something!*
**[15:19] Naka**
*But I can't!*
**[15:23] Ougai**
No, boy.
**[15:25] Ougai**
Your enemy lies that way.
**[15:27] Ougai**
I wouldn't advise running away
in this particular case.
**[15:30] Ougai**
Er, that is,
**[15:32] Ougai**
if you'd trust the words of your
local neighborhood physician.
**[15:36] Ougai**
If you were to believe her words,
**[15:39] Ougai**
you'll forget everything once
you leave through that door.
**[15:42] Ougai**
You'll remember neither
the enemy's subterfuge,
**[15:44] Ougai**
nor your colleagues in danger.
**[15:46] Ougai**
And the enemy will continue
to press her attack.
**[15:48] Ougai**
I'll teach you something of use.
**[15:50] Ougai**
In game theory,
**[15:52] Ougai**
the optimal strategy is to launch
**[15:54] Ougai**
a total counteroffensive on an
enemy who has attacked you.
**[15:58] Ougai**
Crush the enemy.
**[16:00] Naka**
But how?
**[16:02] Ougai**
An arrogant enemy who feels invincible
**[16:04] Ougai**
is the most vulnerable opponent of all.
**[16:06] Ougai**
And did I hear right, that
the ones beyond that door
**[16:11] Ougai**
are the very ones who desperately
tried to save you when you were taken?
**[16:18] Naka**
*That's right.*
**[16:20] Naka**
*They all saved me.*
**[16:23] Lucy**
Are you done with the chit-chat?
**[16:24] Lucy**
Is your motivation back?
**[16:27] Naka**
It's my turn, then.
**[16:30] Ougai**
That's right.
**[16:31] Ougai**
That is your optimal solution.
**[16:33] Lucy**
It wouldn't be fun any other way.
**[16:36] Lucy**
But...
**[16:37] Lucy**
It's already over.
**[16:41] Naka**
Another one!
**[16:42] Lucy**
Of course! There are two of you.
**[16:44] Naka**
Shit!
**[16:51] Lucy**
All right, that's that.
**[16:53] Lucy**
So, what will you do, mister?
**[16:56] Lucy**
Thanks to you,
**[16:58] Lucy**
the tiger didn't get away.
**[17:00] Lucy**
So I could let you go as a
sign of my appreciation.
**[17:04] Lucy**
Or maybe I want to see your expression
when Anne catches you.
**[17:10] Ougai**
Do you want to try me?
**[17:12] Lucy**
*What? What's going on?*
**[17:16] Lucy**
* My legs are trembling*
* so much, I can't move.*
**[17:18] Lucy**
*Is this pure malice?*
**[17:21] Lucy**
*But why can't Anne move, either?*
**[17:26] Ougai**
It won't work.
**[17:28] Ougai**
You've already lost.
**[17:31] Ougai**
Look at the door.
**[17:37] Lucy**
What?!
**[17:39] Lucy**
But I know I shut the door.
**[17:41] Lucy**
Why?
**[17:43] Naka**
You've made one mistake.
**[17:45] Naka**
This fight was two against
one from the very start!
**[17:48] Naka**
The moment the door opened,
**[17:50] Naka**
Tanizaki-san used his Light Snow
ability to create a false door.
**[17:54] Lucy**
Impossible.
**[17:55] Lucy**
And you were able to resist the force
**[17:58] Lucy**
sucking you into the room with
your arms and legs alone?
**[18:01] Naka**
You misunderstand me.
**[18:03] Naka**
I am not strong, and I'm not popular.
**[18:06] Naka**
Rather, I've led a cursed life.
**[18:09] Naka**
That's why I understand your jealousy
and hatred of others all too well.
**[18:14] Naka**
I don't really want you
to fail this mission!
**[18:17] Naka**
I don't want you to lose the place
where you can feel you belong!
**[18:19] Naka**
But because I'm weak and inexperienced,
**[18:21] Naka**
I can think of no other way!
**[18:23] Lucy**
What?
**[18:26] Lucy**
This is...
**[18:27] Naka**
I tied a ribbon to you.
**[18:35] Naka**
Release your ability and let everyone go!
**[18:38] Naka**
Or I'll drag you into the room.
**[18:41] Naka**
Without a key, the door won't open.
**[18:44] Naka**
That means if you're imprisoned inside,
**[18:46] Naka**
no one can ever open that door.
**[18:49] Naka**
If that happens, you won't
be able to return to reality
**[18:51] Naka**
even if you release your ability.
**[18:54] Naka**
Am I wrong?
**[18:55] Lucy**
That's...
**[18:56] Naka**
Our abilities aren't tools of convenience
made to control everyone else.
**[18:59] Naka**
I know that better than most.
**[19:01] Naka**
Do you want to be trapped in the dimension
of your own making until you die—
**[19:04] Naka**
No, even after you die?
**[19:07] Lucy**
I... I can't afford to fail!
**[19:10] Naka**
I'm going to let go.
**[19:11] Naka**
You only have that split second
before the door closes to decide.
**[19:15] Lucy**
No, wait!
**[19:42] Naka**
Um, hey...
**[19:44] Naka**
If I...
**[19:45] Naka**
If I can do anything for you...
**[19:48] Naka**
Um!
**[19:52] Ougai**
Oh, Elise-chan!
**[19:54] Ougai**
Are you okay?!
**[19:56] Ougai**
Where've you been!
**[19:57] Ougai**
I was so worried!
**[19:59] Ougai**
You just up and vanished...
**[20:00] Elise**
I thought Rintarou would worry
if I suddenly disappeared.
**[20:05] Elise**
I wanted to make Rintarou cry.
**[20:07] Ougai**
That's so mean, Elise-chan!
**[20:09] Ougai**
But I forgive you, because you're so cute!
**[20:13] Naka**
Kyouka-chan?
**[20:15] Naka**
You came to get me?
**[20:17] Kyou**
I was worried.
**[20:20] Naka**
Thank you.
**[20:21] Ougai**
We'll be taking our leave now.
**[20:26] Naka**
Thank you for your advice earlier.
**[20:30] Naka**
So you're a doctor?
**[20:32] Ougai**
Ex-doctor.
**[20:34] Ougai**
Right now, I'm just a middle-aged man
**[20:36] Ougai**
keeping a small group of people in line.
**[20:39] Ougai**
Boy...
**[20:41] Ougai**
A logical, optimal solution exists
in any wartime situation,
**[20:43] Ougai**
no matter how difficult the challenge.
**[20:46] Ougai**
You must not forget that,
especially in times of confusion
**[20:48] Ougai**
when you might feel
inclined to recklessness.
**[20:51] Naka**
Okay.
**[20:52] Ougai**
Goodbye, then.
**[20:54] Naka**
There is a way, even in difficult times...
**[21:01] Naka**
What's wrong, Kyouka-chan?
**[21:04] Naka**
Kyouka-chan?
**[21:06] Naka**
Kyouka-chan!
**[21:09] Ougai**
I had a good time.
**[21:12] Ougai**
I wanted to return to my younger days
**[21:14] Ougai**
and use my ability to mow down
my enemies left and right.
**[21:18] Elise**
You're too old for that!
**[21:19] Ougai**
That's so mean.
**[21:21] Ougai**
I may not look like much, but...
**[21:44] Ougai**
So this is a Guild assassin?
**[21:46] Chuuya**
Yes, sir.
**[21:47] Ougai**
The Agency and The Guild...
**[21:49] Ougai**
It seems we are in a challenging
wartime situation, ourselves.
***SIGN*** Port Mafia Leader: Mori Ougai
