[00:04] Akutagawa
I've found you, weretiger.
[00:07] Atsushi
Akutagawa!
[00:19] Akutagawa
Looks like you've improved your
acrobatic skills, weretiger.
[00:22] Atsushi
Why are you here, Akutagawa?
[00:26] Akutagawa
To kill you.
[00:28] Atsushi
Don't you understand the
situation we're in right now?
[00:31] Atsushi
We may no longer have a place to live.
[00:35] Atsushi
I don't understand you one bit.
[00:38] Akutagawa
I don't remember ever asking
for your understanding.
[00:41] Dazai
Oh, dear.
[00:43] Dazai
Akutagawa-kun still has a
terrible habit of going solo.
[00:48] Dazai
All right.
[00:49] Dazai
Atsushi-kun, we don't have
time to deal with him.
[00:53] Dazai
Let's move on.
[00:54] Atsushi
But...
[00:55] Dazai
Don't worry.
[00:57] Dazai
Just do as I say, and you'll make it.
[01:03] Atsushi
Understood.
[01:05] Atsushi
Akutagawa, I'm speaking to
Dazai-san on this intercom.
[01:11] Atsushi
He wants to talk to you.
[01:14] Akutagawa
Dazai-san!
[01:26] Akutagawa
Dazai-san!
[03:01] Francis
Well hello, Zelda.
[03:03] Francis
How have you been?
[03:05] Francis
Yeah, I apologize for calling you so late.
[03:08] Francis
I heard the news.
[03:10] Francis
You laid off another chef?
[03:12] Francis
They came all the way here from
a top-notch European restaurant.
[03:16] Francis
No, I don't blame you.
[03:19] Francis
It's true.
[03:20] Francis
Any cook that doesn't know of your distaste
for cream cheese ought to perish.
[03:27] Francis
Yes, she's still studying in London.
[03:31] Francis
I wouldn't forget it for a moment.
[03:37] Francis
Sorry, it appears I have a guest.
[03:39] Francis
I'll call you back.
[03:41] Francis
I love you, Zelda.
[03:46] Francis
That was a brief farewell, boy.
[03:49] Francis
Is this what you're looking for?
[03:53] Atsushi
Are you the one guarding
the control terminal?
[03:56] Francis
Here's the first secret
to how I got this far.
[04:02] Francis
The most important part of any job is to
not leave anything for others to handle.
[04:08] Francis
By the way, do you know how
much the Moby Dick weighs?
[04:13] Francis
It has a total mass of 29,000 tons.
[04:15] Francis
Dropped from an altitude of two kilometers,
[04:18] Francis
it would explode with the force of 140 tons of TNT...
Right in the middle of the city.
[04:26] Atsushi
No one would allow such an atrocity.
[04:30] Francis
The second secret to how I got this far is:
don't let the values of others affect you.
[04:35] Francis
With that said, you and I are both busy.
[04:39] Francis
If we have to fight over the control
terminal, let's keep things simple.
[04:44] Francis
We'll both run towards it
on the count of three.
[04:46] Francis
The first of us to take it is the winner.
[04:49] Francis
If you win, you can do as you like
with the Moby Dick.
[04:53] Francis
But if I win, you'll serve me
in helping with my search.
[05:00] Francis
One...
[05:02] Atsushi
Should I take his challenge
and run when he does?
[05:06] Francis
Two...
[05:06] Atsushi
No, I can't trust anyone from
the Guild to keep a promise.
[05:10] Atsushi
I'll outsmart him and take it
before his signal, and run!
[05:16] Francis
Three.
[05:19] Francis
Secret number three: It's easy to predict the
behavior of anyone who's given an opportunity.
[05:28] Francis
Oh? You aren't going down with that kick?
[05:32] Francis
That's impressive.
[05:34] Francis
Very well.
[05:35] Francis
10,000 may have been insulting.
[05:38] Francis
This is a portion of my securities.
[05:42] Francis
There's 100,000 dollars worth.
[05:44] Francis
I haven't introduced you
to my ability yet, have I?
[05:48] Francis
Ability: The Great Fitzgerald.
[06:01] Francis
My ability grants me physical
strength equal to the money I spend.
[06:13] Francis
Be proud, boy.
[06:15] Francis
I haven't used 100,000
dollars in a long time.
[06:18] Francis
Of course, Zelda would spend
that much in a month.
[06:23] Francis
Now everything is going according to plan.
[06:25] Francis
With crashing the Moby Dick,
and with capturing you.
[06:30] Atsushi
Me?
[06:31] Francis
Our strategist has the
ability to make
[06:35] Francis
limited precognitions based
on what information she has.
[06:40] Atsushi
Now that I have you, it would
be a pain if you got away.
[06:45] Atsushi
I should probably remove your
arms and legs for good measure.
[06:55] Atsushi
Oh my, what an unusual guest.
[06:58] Atsushi
Mister...
[06:59] Atsushi
Agua?
[07:01] Atsushi
Aguagar?
[07:04] Akutagawa
Akutagawa.
[07:07] Francis
That's the one.

[07:17] Dazai
Hey, Kyouka-chan, can you hear me?
[07:19] Dazai
It's Dazai.
[07:21] Dazai
We negotiated with the
Gifted Special Operations Division.
[07:23] Dazai
We can bring you back down for now.
[07:26] Dazai
I'm going to teach you
how to pilot that drone.
[07:31] Kyouka
No more.
[07:36] Dazai
To tell you the truth, the Agency
doesn't have a reason to rescue you.
[07:43] Dazai
You aren't an official member, after all.
[07:47] Dazai
The Agency has an entrance test,
and you haven't passed it yet.
[07:52] Dazai
The test is to see if you have the heart and
strength to help even complete strangers.
[08:01] Kyouka
I don't think I'd pass.
[08:06] Dazai
I don't like that.
[08:09] Dazai
A former killer isn't qualified
to become a good person.
[08:15] Dazai
Do you truly believe that?
[08:22] Francis
Well, Mr. Akutagawa, I'd love to welcome
you aboard, but as you can see, I'm busy.
[08:28] Akutagawa
Who gave you permission to lie around?
[08:31] Akutagawa
You aren't getting away this time.
[08:33] Akutagawa
Stand up and fight.
[08:35] Atsushi
Things couldn't get worse.
[08:38] Atsushi
I was never ready to begin with.
[08:41] Akutagawa
You said earlier that you
couldn't understand me.
[08:46] Akutagawa
To me, you're completely incomprehensible.
[08:50] Akutagawa
Those fearful eyes have no faith in
your own strength or gift,
[08:55] Akutagawa
yet you always involve
yourself in futile battles.
[08:58] Akutagawa
Where do you get that
incoherent self-respect?
[09:01] Francis
That's enough, little guy.
[09:03] Francis
I don't like being ignored.
[09:07] Akutagawa
Shut up.
[09:08] Akutagawa
My main course is the weretiger.
[09:11] Akutagawa
I'd like my dessert to sit quietly.
[09:17] Francis
I hate being in second place.
[09:20] Francis
I request our rankings be changed.
[09:23] Akutagawa
Fine.
[09:27] Akutagawa
Did he stop Rashoumon with his bare hands?
[09:34] Francis
For your efforts, I'll teach you
the fourth secret to success.
[09:38] Akutagawa
I don't need it.
[09:39] Akutagawa
Rashoumon!
[09:41] Akutagawa

[09:57] Francis
The fourth secret to success: Though
there are many forms of strength...
[10:05] Francis
money and influence, gifts, social status...
it helps to have all of them, the way I do.
[10:15] Francis
The tiger's gone.
[10:17] Atsushi
Strength my ass!
[10:19] Atsushi
Money and gifts don't
exist to blow up cities.
[10:23] Atsushi
Human strength exists to be shared with
those who are in the depths of despair.
[10:28] Francis
I'm not surprised that
you'd make such a mistake.
[10:31] Francis
Strength doesn't exist to help the weak.
[10:34] Francis
The very essence of money-making
is to extract value from the weak.
[10:39] Francis
To then offer that to the
weak is to repeat a pointless act,
[10:43] Francis
akin to swinging a door round and round.
[10:47] Francis
Strength must be used more meaningfully.
[10:51] Atsushi
Do you pretend not to see the lives
that are snubbed out to that end?
[10:56] Francis
By the snubbed out lives of the weak...
[10:59] Francis
Do you mean, for example, your past self?
[11:05] Francis
I looked up your history.
[11:07] Francis
You were nearly killed, twice,
in your early childhood
[11:10] Francis
by the president of your orphanage.
[11:14] Francis
When he kicked you and broke
your ribs, he said to you...
[11:19] (Flashback) President
Compared to what your parents
did to you in your infancy,
[11:24] (Flashback) President
this doesn't even count as violence.
[11:35] Francis
We're slowing down, preparing for descent.
[11:38] Francis
We have just over ten minutes until impact.
[11:44] Akutagawa
I understand.
[11:45] Francis
What?
[11:50] Francis
Stop!
[11:53] Francis
He ran?
[12:09] Akutagawa
I take back what I said about not
being able to understand you.
[12:14] Akutagawa
I understand you.
[12:17] Akutagawa
Weretiger, you fight in order
to earn permission to live.
[12:23] Akutagawa
Even if that means
sacrificing your own life.
[12:28] Akutagawa
Disgusting.
[12:33] Akutagawa
Do you honestly believe, weretiger, that
someone is out there to grant you permission?
[12:39] Akutagawa
Did you think that if you put your
life on the line fighting for others,
[12:43] Akutagawa
someone will stamp a form certifying
that you deserve to live?
[12:47] Atsushi
Where's the crime in believing that?
[12:49] Akutagawa
You're an utter disappointment.
[12:52] Akutagawa
I never expected you to be such a fool.
[12:55] Akutagawa
I could kill you hundreds of times, and I'd
have gained no accomplishments in battle.
[13:01] Atsushi
Accomplishments in battle.
[13:02] Akutagawa
Indeed.
[13:04] Akutagawa
That is the only true measure of value.
[13:06] Akutagawa
Without any accomplishments in battle,
that man would never approve of me.
[13:12] Akutagawa
Not Dazai-san.
[13:15] Atsushi
Dazai-san?
[13:17] Atsushi
How does his name fit here?
[13:25] Francis
I've found you, stray dogs.
[13:30] Dazai
Kyouka-chan, everyone has
strengths and weaknesses.
[13:34] Dazai
You clearly have talent in killing.
[13:38] Dazai
You think that, therefore, you can't
become a member of the Detective Agency.
[13:43] Dazai
That's foolish.
[13:45] Dazai
I'll prove to you in one second how
devoid of reason that belief is.
[13:51] Dazai
Kyouka-chan, how many people have
you killed with those hands?
[13:55] Kyouka
35.
[13:57] Dazai
A mere 35.
[14:02] Dazai
Listen up, Kyouka-chan.
[14:05] Dazai
You don't know everything
about the Detective Agency.
[14:08] Dazai
You don't know everything about yourself.
[14:11] Dazai
No one can know everything.
[14:14] Dazai
That's what we call "potential."
[14:18] Dazai
Even Atsushi-kun, who's
given you another chance,
[14:20] Dazai
was originally a savage
beast, deemed a menace.
[14:23] Dazai
But now he's risking his own life to do what
only he can do, in order to protect this city.
[14:36] Atsushi
That's it.
[14:37] Atsushi
The cargo elevator.
[14:47] Atsushi
His ability is way out of my league.
[14:49] Atsushi
I don't stand a chance.
[14:51] Atsushi
I need to think of a way to steal
the terminal when I have a chance.
[14:55] Akutagawa
You're as foolish as ever.
[14:58] Atsushi
What?
[14:59] Akutagawa
This box takes us to the
inescapable deck service door.
[15:04] Akutagawa
We are the ones who have been cornered.
[15:08] Atsushi
No.
[15:10] Akutagawa
Nothing could be more shameful than to have
been defeated once by the likes of you.
[15:15] Akutagawa
Especially knowing that you're so worthless
that you ask others for your own right to live.
[15:20] Atsushi
You're right, I'm worthless.
[15:22] Atsushi
But you're a murderer with no purpose
but to flaunt your strength.
[15:26] Atsushi
I'm a hundred times better.
[15:28] Akutagawa
Say that again.
[15:29] Atsushi
You have plenty of power and status.
[15:32] Atsushi
You fight just so that people fear you.
[15:34] Atsushi
That's way more worthless.
[15:38] Akutagawa
Take that back!
[15:41] Akutagawa
I have power and status?
[15:47] Akutagawa
I'll tell you why I called you disgusting.
[15:51] Akutagawa
It's because you're a fool who continues to
mope about old wounds despite having everything.
[15:59] Atsushi
What?
[16:01] Atsushi
What did you say I am?
[16:02] Akutagawa
You're blessed with your gift.
[16:04] Akutagawa
You're blessed with friends.
[16:06] Akutagawa
With no effort and with nothing but sheer
luck, you're revered and praised by Dazai-san.
[16:10] Akutagawa
You don't even understand how lucky you are.
[16:12] Akutagawa
You dwell in your own tragedy.
[16:14] Akutagawa
You're a disgusting fool!
[16:17] (Flashback) Akutagawa
Without any accomplishments in battle,
that man would never approve of me.
[16:23] (Flashback) Akutagawa
Not Dazai-san.
[16:27] Atsushi
Dazai-san?
[16:29] Atsushi
Don't tell me you've always been...
[16:45] Francis
That's enough of playing tag.
[16:48] Francis
In less than ten minutes, the Moby Dick
will enter into an irrevocable trajectory.
[16:53] Francis
At that point, not even this terminal will
be able to stop it from falling into the city.
[16:58] Francis
Only I will survive, as I've
strengthened myself with my ability.
[17:03] Akutagawa
Hey, nouveau riche, if I defeat someone as
strong as you, will I no longer be weak?
[17:14] Francis
I'll guarantee it.
[17:15] Akutagawa
Then I won't regret dying
as many times as it takes.
[17:20] Akutagawa
Rashoumon! Demonic Armor!
[17:46] Francis
Is he overriding my actions with his gift?
[17:53] Atsushi
Akutagawa is so strong, yet
he thinks of himself as weak.
[17:59] Atsushi
He's preposterous!
[18:01] Atsushi
How many people has his selfishness killed?
[18:06] Atsushi
Tiger, grant me strength once again.
[18:11] Atsushi
Just like last time.
[18:25] Akutagawa
Get out of my way, weretiger!
[18:27] Atsushi
You get out of my way!
[18:30] Atsushi
Dazai-san, my ass!
[18:32] Atsushi
You're even more worthless!
[18:34] Akutagawa
Nonsense.
[18:35] Akutagawa
You're more worthless than I am!
[18:37] Francis
This is amusing.
[18:40] Francis
You're both very much alike.
[18:45] ---
What?!
[18:46] Atsushi; Akutagawa
Don't...
[18:47] Atsushi; Akutagawa
...compare me...
[18:49] Atsushi; Akutagawa
...to him!
[19:03] Akutagawa
This technique makes my black
armor double as muscle.
[19:09] Akutagawa
My body is too feeble to last.
[19:11] Atsushi
Taking a break, Akutagawa?
[19:14] Akutagawa
Shut up.
[19:14] Akutagawa
You're next.
[19:16] Atsushi
The control terminal comes first.
[19:18] Atsushi
If this ship hits the city,
Dazai-san will be obliterated, too.
[19:23] Akutagawa
That man wouldn't die so easily.
[19:32] Francis
Tiger beetle, tell me, is
there anything in this world
[19:37] Francis
aside from family worth
sacrificing everything for?
[19:43] Francis
I'll take the book, and I'll bring
my daughter back into this world.
[19:49] Akutagawa
Your daughter?
[19:57] Francis
My wife, Zelda, unable to accept our
daughter's death, became mentally ill.
[20:03] Francis
To this day, she hides in her fantasy that
our daughter is studying abroad in London.
[20:09] Francis
I'm going to make that fantasy a reality,
and reclaim my family.
[20:14] Francis
No matter what the cost is.
[20:18] Francis
My wealth is dispensable.
[20:25] Francis
I'll pay all of it!
[20:35] Atsushi
He's off the scales.
[20:37] Atsushi
It's like standing in front
of a massive tornado.
[20:41] Atsushi
This is the will of the Guild's leader?
[21:05] Atsushi
Akutagawa...
[21:06] Akutagawa
What?
[21:09] Atsushi
Am I a fool?
[21:13] Atsushi
Is it worthless of me to want
to escape from those memories?
[21:17] Akutagawa
It is.
[21:19] Akutagawa
The words of your past are fundamentally
unrelated to who you are now.
[21:32] Atsushi
I see.
[21:36] Atsushi
I think Dazai-san already approved
of you a long time ago.
[21:48] Francis
Come!
[21:50] Atsushi
Beast Beneath the Moonlight!
[21:55] Akutagawa
Rashoumon Demonic Armor!
