SIGN    The head may err, but never the blood.
[02:03] Dazai
    I don't feel like working.
[02:05] Kunikida
    Stop sounding like a broken trumpet
    first thing in the morning.
[02:08] Dazai
    I don't even feel like holding a
    conversation right now, Kunikida-kun.
[02:13] Kunikida
    The town was saved from annihilation
    thanks to you and Atsushi.
[02:17] Kunikida
    So why have you ended up like this the next day?
[02:19] Dazai
    The boss has me lined up for this new job...
[02:23] Kunikida
    Is it what Atsushi and the boss
    were discussing yesterday?
[02:27] Fukuzawa
    It is.
[02:29] Kunikida
    Good morning.
[02:30] Fukuzawa
    Dazai, are we making progress on our
    secret meeting with the Port Mafia?
[02:34] Dazai
    I've made arrangements, but...
[02:36] Fukuzawa
    Do you think the Port
    Mafia boss will be here?
[02:39] Dazai
    I'm sure.
[02:41] Dazai
    It's a perfect opportunity
    to kill our boss, after all.
[02:47] Fukuzawa
    That is preferable to having
    bloodshed among our members.
[02:51] Kunikida
    Oi, Dazai...
[02:53] Kunikida
    A secret meeting with the Port Mafia?!
[02:56] Dazai
    Atsushi-kun's idea has
    turned into a huge deal.
[03:00] Dazai
    Even though the Guild is
    now our biggest threat...
[03:03] Kunikida
    Wait a second.
[03:04] Kunikida
    I have no idea what's going on.
[03:06] Kunikida
    First of all, why are you the
    one arranging the meeting?
[03:10] Dazai
    Because I'm originally from the Port Mafia.
SIGN    What?!
[03:13] Kunikida
    What?!
[03:14] Dazai
    Everyone knows about it apart
    from you, Kunikida-kun.
[03:18] Kunikida
    What?!
[03:21] Nakahara
    There have been over a hundred deaths
    in our organization alone.
[03:25] Nakahara
    I hate to admit it,
[03:27] ---
    but if that tool, Dazai, hadn't
    neutralized the curse,
[03:30] ---
    we would have had ten
    times as many casualties.
[03:32] Mori
    I have no face to show
    to the previous bosses.
[03:41] Mori
    Kouyou-kun.
[03:43] Kouyou
    Dazai kicked me out of the
    Agency office, saying he had
[03:47] ---
    no need for a useless prisoner.
[03:50] Kouyou
    He even had me running errands
    in exchange for my stay.
[03:55] Kouyou
    This is from the boss
    of the Detective Agency.
[03:57] Kouyou
    An invitation to have tea, it seems.
[04:00] Mori
    Oh?
[04:02] Mori
    So that's the hand he's chosen to play.
SIGN    Eight years ago
[04:05] (Flashback) Mori
    How are you, Boss?
[04:09] (Flashback) Boss
    Doctor, tell the board...
[04:12] (Flashback) Boss
    This is an order: Kill
    all enemy organizations,
[04:16] (Flashback) ---
    military police, and anyone who
    opposes the Port Mafia by sundown.
[04:20] (Flashback) Mori
    That's irrational.
[04:22] (Flashback) Boss
    I don't mind how many of our own need to die.
[04:24] (Flashback) Boss
    Kill them.
[04:25] (Flashback) Boss
    Just kill them.
[04:26] (Flashback) Boss
    Kill them all.
[04:27] (Flashback) Boss
    Kill them.
[04:28] (Flashback) Boss
    Kill them.
[04:30] (Flashback) ---
    Very well, Boss.
[04:35] (Flashback) Mori
    The boss has succumbed to illness.
[04:39] (Flashback) Mori
    He left a will, entrusting me
    with his position as the boss.
[04:44] (Flashback) Mori
    You're the witness.
[04:47] (Flashback) Mori
    Understood?
[05:02] Dazai
    Welcome, Boss.
[05:03] Mori
    It's been four years.
[05:05] Mori
    Do you still wear the coat that I gave you?
[05:08] Dazai
    Of course...
[05:11] Dazai
    I burned it.
[05:15] A
    Port Mafia Boss, Mori Ougai.
[05:20] A
    Armed Detective Agency Chief
    Executive, Fukuzawa Yukichi.
[05:32] Fukuzawa
    So the time's finally come.
[05:35] Mori
    If the government brass were to
    find out that the leaders of the
[05:38] ---
    two most powerful organizations
    of gifted are engaged in a
[05:40] ---
    secret meeting, they
    would froth at the mouth.
[05:43] Fukuzawa
    I'll get straight to business.
[05:46] Fukuzawa
    A new member of the Agency proposed
    an alliance with you, the Port Mafia.
[05:51] Mori
    Oh?
[05:52] Fukuzawa
    I objected.
[05:54] Fukuzawa
    The idea of cooperating with criminals
    goes against the Agency's standards.
[05:59] Fukuzawa
    But the proposal came from
    someone who, countless times,
[06:02] ---
    was shot, slashed, and
    kidnapped by the Port Mafia.
[06:06] Fukuzawa
    His words carry weight.
[06:08] Fukuzawa
    Therefore, as the leader of the Agency,
[06:10] ---
    I was left with no choice but to lend an ear.
[06:13] Mori
    We are both in quite a difficult position.
[06:18] Fukuzawa
    I'll get to the point.
[06:19] Fukuzawa
    Alliance aside, I would like to
    request a temporary ceasefire.
[06:26] Mori
    Have you ever read the works of Schelling?
[06:30] Mori
    Or perhaps of Kissinger?
[06:32] Dazai
    Both are researchers of strategic studies.
[06:35] Dazai
    Taught by you-know-who.
[06:38] Fukuzawa
    I do read Sun Tzu.
[06:40] Mori
    There is a parallel between state
    warfare and the strategies
[06:43] ---
    of illegal organizations such as ourselves.
[06:46] Mori
    No one exists to punish either of
    us, should we violate agreements.
[06:50] Mori
    What if the Port Mafia
    suddenly breaks a ceasefire?
[06:54] Mori
    What if the Agency betrays us?
[06:56] Mori
    The party that trusted in the agreement
    would be the only one to suffer.
[07:00] Mori
    Under circumstances that reward
    the first to commit a betrayal,
[07:03] ---
    a limited ceasefire cannot be established.
[07:06] Mori
    The only possibility is
    for complete cooperation.
[07:11] Dazai
    That's also impossible.
[07:13] Mori
    Indeed.
[07:14] Mori
    The Port Mafia is an organization
    of face and resentment.
[07:18] Mori
    Many of my people have been
    dragged through the mud.
[07:22] Fukuzawa
    Many of mine have been brought
    to the brink of death, as well.
[07:25] Mori
    But they didn't die.
[07:27] Mori
    And that is a source of great
    shame for the Port Mafia.
[07:30] Fukuzawa
    Then how about this.
[07:35] ---
    We settle our accounts here and now.
[07:48] Mori
    I thought you had discarded your katana...
[07:50] Mori
    Kokenshi Ginro Fukuzawa.
[07:54] Fukuzawa
    And you still haven't grown past your habit
    of killing people with a scalpel, Doctor Mori.
[07:58] Fukuzawa
    You still think like a little girl.
[08:01] Mori
    Do you still talk to cats?
[08:17] Mori
    A hologram ability.
[08:20] Mori
    That was an enjoyable meeting.
[08:22] Mori
    Let us continue it on the battlefield.
[08:24] Fukuzawa
    The Agency will be recovering Q tonight.
[08:28] Mori
    And?
[08:29] Fukuzawa
    Don't get in our way tonight.
[08:32] Fukuzawa
    For the sake of both of us.
[08:33] Mori
    Why?
[08:35] Fukuzawa
    Because that's our sole similarity:
[08:39] ---
    That we love this city.
[08:42] Fukuzawa
    As people of this city, as organizations
    that work to protect it,
[08:46] ---
    we cannot allow foreign gifteds to raze it.
[08:50] Mori
    The Guild is powerful.
[08:52] Mori
    The Agency stands no chance.
[08:54] Mori
    That is all from me.
[08:55] Mori
    Dazai-kun, the offer still stands for
    you to return to the executive team.
[09:00] Dazai
    No way.
[09:01] Dazai
    You're the one who kicked me out of
    the Port Mafia in the first place.
[09:06] Mori
    Did you not quit because you wanted to?
[09:10] Dazai
    You were afraid, weren't you?
[09:13] Dazai
    That I might someday aspire
    to take your position
[09:15] ---
    and put a knife to your throat.
[09:19] Dazai
    Just as you did to your predecessor.
[09:25] Dazai
    Evil expects evil from others.
[09:29] Dazai
    I don't agree to allying with you, either.
[09:42] Moss
    Our troops?
[09:42] A
    Deployed as ordered.
[09:46] A
    Boss, I've been with the Port Mafia longer
    than I had during the previous boss's time.
[09:52] Mori
    You're quite a senior here.
[09:55] A
    The organization was in ruins
    towards the end of his tenure.
[10:00] A
    He was ill, and his orders were erratic.
[10:05] A
    The Port Mafia engaged in conflict aimlessly.
[10:08] A
    Sooner or later he would
    have destroyed this city,
[10:13] ---
    if you hadn't taken his seat.
[10:18] Mori
    What is your point?
[10:21] A
    I just wanted to point out that Dazai-kun
    surely understands your intentions.
[10:29] Dazai
    So this is where Q is being kept.
[10:38] Steinbeck
    Good evening.
[10:39] Steinbeck
    Our strategist is adept at
    reading the enemy's actions.
[10:45] Dazai
    Of course, it's a trap.
[10:47] Mori
    Even if Dazai-kun didn't intend to dethrone me,
[10:52] ---
    my decisions were all rational and optimal.
[10:56] Mori
    I have no regrets.
[10:59] Mori
    But if Dazai-kun had still
[11:00] ---
    been my right-hand man,
    the Guild would have been no match.
[11:05] (Flashback) Mori
    Evil expects evil from others.
[11:09] Mori
    Hirotsu-san, the communicator
    for the frontlines.
[11:14] A
    I already have it here.
[11:16] Mori
    Despite what I said to the Agency,
[11:18] ---
    there is a rational path
    towards a proper alliance.
[11:23] Mori
    Advance payment is the
    essence of an alliance.
[11:26] Mori
    One pays a loss up front, and a profit
    is made a hundred times greater.
[11:33] Mori
    Only then can an alliance make up for old grudges.
[11:46] Mori
    Those two once defeated an enemy
    gifted organization overnight.
[11:50] Mori
    Their alliance was called the most
    devastating rivalry in history.
[11:54] Mori
    The alliance returns just for one night.
[11:57] Nakahara
    Let me set one thing straight.
[12:02] ---
    Once I'm done taking out
    the trash, you're next.
[12:05] Dazai
    I knew it.
[12:07] Dazai
    This is why I wasn't
    feeling up for it today.
[12:10] Steinbeck
    I never heard anything about this surprise
    attack in the strategic forecasts.
[12:15] Dazai
    Sorry, you don't get to do that.
[12:18] Steinbeck
    The gift-disabling ability.
[12:20] Dazai
    This seriously sucks.
[12:22] Steinbeck
    That's my line!
[12:26] Mori
    Let's take back our lead.
[12:29] Mori
    It's our common front against the Guild.
[12:32] Mori
    The launch of our retaliation.
SIGN    Episode 21: Double Black
[12:45] Dazai
    Dammit.
[12:47] Dazai
    This is the worst day in years.
[12:49] Chuuya
    Yo, Dazai, ever heard of Pétrus?
[12:52] Dazai
    The flabbergastingly expensive wine.
[12:55] Chuuya
    The night you vanished
    from the organization,
[12:57] ---
    I opened an '89 bottle in celebration.
[13:01] Chuuya
    That's how sick of you I was.
[13:04] Dazai
    I remember setting a bomb
    under your car that night.
[13:08] Chuuya
    That was your doing?!
[13:09] Chuuya
    I can't stand you.
[13:11] Dazai
    I hate everything about you, too.
[13:14] Dazai
    The only thing I like about you,
    maybe, is your taste in shoes.
[13:18] Chuuya
    You think?
[13:20] Dazai
    Just kidding, of course.
[13:22] Chuuya
    You...!
[13:23] Dazai
    Give it up.
[13:24] Dazai
    I'm familiar with your attacks.
    Your timing, your thrusts...
[13:27] Chuuya
    I was going easy on you.
[13:29] Chuuya
    If I were serious, I would
    have pulverized your skull.
[13:31] Dazai
    Oh?
[13:33] Dazai
    How scary.
[13:39] Dazai
    There he is.
[13:40] Dazai
    The sleeping beauty awaiting his savior.
[13:43] Chuuya
    Sleeping beauty, huh?
[13:46] Dazai
    Hand me your knife.
[13:49] Dazai
    Oh, wait, I swiped it off
    you earlier, just in case.
[13:52] Chuuya
    You...
[13:57] Dazai
    Aren't you going to stop me?
[13:58] Chuuya
    The boss ordered me to take him back alive,
[14:02] ---
    but seeing that kid's face,
    I have flashbacks of the bodybags
[14:05] ---
    my people came home in, thanks to his curse.
[14:10] Chuuya
    Kill him.
[14:11] Dazai
    I see.
[14:13] Dazai
    All right, then, I will.
[14:19] Chuuya
    You softy.
[14:21] Chuuya
    Your hypocrisy makes me retch.
[14:24] Dazai
    As long as Q is alive, you still
    need my ability as a safety measure.
[14:30] Dazai
    The Port Mafia won't be able to kill me.
[14:33] Dazai
    It's a rational decision.
[14:35] Chuuya
    I don't know about that.
[14:38] Chuuya
    Yo, Dazai, you asshole, hand over that doll!
[14:42] Dazai
    No way.
[14:43] Dazai
    It's my insurance.
[14:45] Chuuya
    I'm going to kill him someday.
[14:53] Lovecraft
    My shoulder's been stiff for some reason.
[14:58] Lovecraft
    Am I working too much?
[15:03] Chuuya
    What was that ability?
[15:05] Dazai
    I'd expect no less from the Guild!
[15:07] Dazai
    What amazing resilience!
[15:09] Chuuya
    Get off me!
[15:11] Chuuya
    He's coming, Dazai.
[15:13] Chuuya
    What should we do?
[15:14] Dazai
    What do you mean?
[15:15] Dazai
    Bring on any gift, and I'll take care of it
    with a touch of my finger.
[15:22] Chuuya
    Dazai!
[15:28] Lovecraft
    A heavy fist.
[15:33] Chuuya
    Dazai!
[15:36] Chuuya
    Are you all right?
[15:39] Chuuya
    You're hurt pretty badly.
[15:42] Dazai
    Those tentacles sure are strange.
[15:45] Dazai
    I can't disable them.
[15:47] Chuuya
    No way.
[15:48] Chuuya
    Is that even possible?
[15:51] Dazai
    There are no exceptions
    to my disabling ability.
[15:54] Dazai
    There's only one possibility.
[15:57] Dazai
    It's not a gift.
[16:01] Lovecraft
    I should get my work done and go home early.
[16:01] Chuuya
    Seriously?
[16:02] Chuuya
    That's hilarious, man.
[16:06] Chuuya
    If it's not a gift, then what is it?
[16:09] Dazai
    All right, let's do things the old way.
[16:12] Dazai
    How about Operation Shame and Toad?
[16:15] Dazai
    What is this, Rain Beyond the Window?
[16:18] Dazai
    It's more like the Lie of the Fake Flowers.
[16:20] Dazai
    Chuuya.
[16:22] ---
    When have my tactics ever been wrong?
[16:27] Chuuya
    Dammit.
[16:28] Lovecraft
    I'm so hungry.
[16:30] Dazai
    Hey.
[16:33] Lovecraft
    Dispatch the enemy and...
[16:36] ---
    go home.
[16:39] Lovecraft
    The man in front is a decoy?
[16:43] Chuuya
    Gravity manipulation.
[16:48] Chuuya
    My gift controls the gravity of those I touch.
[16:52] Chuuya
    Take a nap, octopus.
[16:54] Dazai
    Good job.
[16:56] Chuuya
    Bastard, ordering me around like a sheep dog.
[16:57] Lovecraft
    I'm so sleepy.
[16:59] Lovecraft
    I feel lazy.
[17:00] Dazai
    I'd use a sheep dog if I had one.
[17:02] Dazai
    But I don't, so I had to make do with you.
[17:02] Lovecraft
    But I have to fulfill my
    contract with Francis.
[17:05] Chuuya
    You...!
[17:09] Chuuya
    Dazai!
[17:19] Chuuya
    Dude, what kind of joke is this?
[17:23] Dazai
    This is something inhuman.
[17:27] Chuuya
    You... Your arm...
[17:29] Dazai
    Chuuya, there's something I
    want you to hear before I die.
[17:33] Chuuya
    What the hell?
[17:35] Chuuya
    This isn't your place to—
[17:36] Dazai
    Boo!
[17:38] Dazai
    I'm going into a fight injured.
[17:39] Dazai
    Why wouldn't I do this?
[17:41] Chuuya
    Why don't you stop wasting
    time on magic tricks
[17:43] ---
    and start thinking about how we're
    going to deal with that nightmare?
[17:46] Dazai
    No way.
[17:47] Dazai
    Let's just give up and die.
[17:49] Dazai
    We only have one more course of action.
[17:51] Chuuya
    Don't tell me...
[17:53] ---
    you're going to do something disgraceful.
[17:57] Dazai
    It's after we wrecked an entire
    enemy organization overnight
[18:00] ---
    that we started being called
    the devastating rivals.
[18:04] Dazai
    But if I'm late to support you, you'll die.
[18:09] Dazai
    I'll let you choose.
[18:11] Chuuya
    You'll let me choose?
[18:14] Chuuya
    Whenever you say that,
[18:18] ---
    I never actually have another choice.
[18:24] Chuuya
    Grantors of dark disgrace,
[18:30] Chuuya
    you need not wake me again.
[18:45] Steinbeck
    What the hell is that?
[18:48] Dazai
    Are you curious, Guild worker ant?
[18:52] Dazai
    That's the true form of Chuuya's gift.
[18:59] Dazai
    Chuuya's corrupted form allows him
    to manipulate nearby gravitons.
[19:03] Dazai
    The graviton bomb is a densely-packed
[19:05] ---
    black hole, swallowing everything in its path.
[19:10] Dazai
    But he has no control over this ability,
[19:12] ---
    so his rage continues until he
    consumes all his energy and dies.
[19:19] Dazai
    But just what is that thing, anyway?
[19:24] Dazai
    No matter how much he chips away at
    it, it just regenerates immediately.
[19:28] Dazai
    You must know what it truly is,
    given that you're his partner.
[19:33] Steinbeck
    Who knows?
[19:34] Steinbeck
    Why would I tell you, even if I did?
[19:46] Dazai
    This is bad.
[19:48] Dazai
    Chuuya's body won't last.
[19:50] Steinbeck
    That's a shame.
[19:52] Steinbeck
    There's no way to destroy Lovecraft
    from outside when he's in that state.
[19:56] Dazai
    From outside?
[19:58] Dazai
    So you can get him from inside.
[20:20] Dazai
    Finish him, Chuuya.
[21:00] Dazai
    You annihilated the enemy.
[21:02] Dazai
    Take a break, Chuuya.
[21:13] Chuuya
    I told you to stop me as soon as it was over.
[21:16] Dazai
    I was going to, but it was
    entertaining, so I had to watch.
[21:22] Chuuya
    I used Corruption because I trusted you.
[21:27] Chuuya
    You...
[21:29] ---
    better take me...
[21:32] ---
    to the extraction point.
[21:37] Dazai
    You got it, buddy.
[21:40] Steinbeck
    I can't believe it.
