    Raise your arms and face this way.
SIGN    Raise your arms and face this way
[00:07] Soldier
    I thought they'd called in backup,
    but you're just two kids.
[00:11] Soldier
    Is the Port Mafia short-staffed?
[00:13] Soldier
    Or is that man, Randou, not very popular?
[00:17] Chuuya
    Randou?
[00:19] Dazai
    That's the name of the man
    we're about to go talk to.
[00:23] Dazai
    The person that was restraining
    you using his special ability.
[00:27] Chuuya
    Oh, him.
[00:29] Chuuya
    Yo, old fart.
[00:31] Chuuya
    Let's save us both some time.
[00:33] Chuuya
    First, you shoot.
[00:35] Chuuya
    Next, I'll retaliate by blowing you
    all the way to the next town over.
[00:39] Chuuya
    And then I'll beat the shit
    out of your remaining men,
[00:44] Chuuya
    and we'll call it a day.
[00:46] Soldier
    What?
[00:48] Dazai
    Man, you could just trick him to
    get some information out of him.
[00:53] Dazai
    You're with the GSS tactical team, aren't you?
[00:57] Chuuya
    Gerhardt Security Services.
[01:00] Chuuya
    Formerly a foreign-funded
    private security firm,
[01:04] Chuuya
    but they had their subsidies cut off
[01:06] Chuuya
    and now they're a fully-fledged
    illegal organization.
[01:09] Soldier
    That's right.
[01:10] Soldier
    I won't go easy on you
    just because you're kids.
[01:13] Chuuya
    Try me, old fart.
[01:25] Soldier
    You...
[01:28] Soldier
    You're the Sheep, Nakahara Chuuya.
[01:30] Soldier
    So it was true that you fell
    into the Port Mafia's hands.
[01:38] Chuuya
    Don't get the wrong idea,
    you annoying prick!
[01:42] Dazai
    Good for you.
[01:43] Dazai
    You're amazing.
[01:45] Chuuya
    Were you just standing there watching?
[01:47] Dazai
    I was busy collecting information from
    the communicator I swiped off him.
[01:52] Dazai
    It seems like the guy you just beat up
     has some backup arriving.
[02:00] Dazai
    You just make more work when you
    don't think about what you're doing.
[02:12] Soldier
    Captain!
[02:14] Chuuya
    Want to join him in the ground?
[02:16] Soldier
    Fire!
[02:17] Soldier
    That shrimp is the gravity
    manipulator Nakahara Chuuya!
[02:36] Chuuya
    Did you just call me a shrimp, asshole?
[02:40] Chuuya
    I'm only fifteen years old!
[02:43] Chuuya
    I'm still growing!
[03:18] Chuuya
    It's over.
[03:19] Chuuya
    Tell me the reason for the attack.
[03:23] Chuuya
    What do you know about Arahabaki?
[03:28] Chuuya
    I guess we'll have to wait for
    our team's investigation report.
[03:33] Dazai
    How unfortunate for you.
[03:35] Dazai
    Does it hurt?
[03:37] Dazai
    It's too late to save you.
[03:40] Dazai
    Still, you won't be dead for
    another five minutes or so.
[03:43] Dazai
    That's five minutes of hellish suffering.
[03:46] Dazai
    I wouldn't be able to bear it.
[03:50] Dazai
    Do you want me to end your
    suffering with this gun?
[03:54] Dazai
    If you want to say yes, you should
    do it while you can still talk.
[03:59] Soldier
    Shoot me, please.
[04:05] Dazai
    All right.
[04:12] Soldier
    This is more than you deserve.
[04:23] Chuuya
    Quit shooting dead bodies.
[04:28] Dazai
    You're right.
[04:29] Dazai
    You're absolutely right.
[04:33] Dazai
    What you say is probably correct.
[04:37] Dazai
    That would be the normal way to think.

[06:12] Randou
    So cold...
[06:15] Randou
    The wind is coming through,
    and it's three times as cold.
[06:19] Dazai
    Must have been rough, huh? Randou-san.
[06:22] Randou
    That was brutal.
[06:24] Randou
    Why me?
[06:26] Dazai
    It's easy to guess why we were attacked.
[06:29] Dazai
    The rumor is spreading.
[06:32] Dazai
    If a Mori supporter like you were
    to die in a black explosion,
[06:36] Dazai
    people would take the anger
    of the former boss more seriously.
[06:41] Dazai
    One of the GSS soldiers
    he tore up on the way here
[06:45] Dazai
    had these instructions for
    faking a black explosion.
[06:49] Randou
    What's a "black explosion"?
[06:52] Dazai
    Apparently, you can get a black-ish flame
[06:55] Dazai
    using a sodium lamp flame reaction.
[06:59] Dazai
    Whatever the case, it's just a cheap trick.
[07:08] Chuuya
    So let me get this straight...
[07:10] Chuuya
    The GSS people attacked this guy,
    pretending to be Arahabaki,
[07:15] Chuuya
    in order to get the Port Mafia to turn on itself.
[07:18] Randou
    The current GSS president
    is a cold-hearted man.
[07:22] Randou
    Rumor has it that he has close ties to The Guild,
    a North American secret organization.
[07:27] Dazai
    Tell me about Arahabaki as you
    saw it in Suribachi City.
[07:32] Dazai
    That's the only lead we have on the
    resurrection of the former president.
[07:38] Randou
    I remember it clearly.
[07:41] Randou
    How could I ever forget?
[07:45] Randou
    I was the only survivor.
[07:48] Randou
    My subordinates all burned to ash.
[07:51] Randou
    They were engulfed by that black flame.
[07:56] Randou
    It was no doubt that god of fire.
[07:59] Dazai
    This is getting interesting.
[08:01] Dazai
    Tell us more.
[08:03] Randou
    It happened close to the
    center of Suribachi City.
[08:09] Randou
    We, the Port Mafia,
[08:10] Randou
    were on our way to battle the Sheep boys.
[08:17] Randou
    There, out of the blue, we were all
    blown away by a black explosion.
[08:31] Randou
    A sudden blastwave.
[08:33] Randou
    All I could do was protect
    myself with my ability.
[08:39] Randou
    Black flames.
[08:41] Randou
    Crumbling earth.
[08:43] Randou
    It was hell itself.
[08:46] Randou
    And in the middle, there it was.
[08:51] Randou
    It wasn't the former boss.
[08:55] Randou
    No... It wasn't even human.
[09:07] Randou
    A beast.
[09:10] Randou
    A beast of black flames.
[09:13] Randou
    Even its eyes were like
    the flames of purgatory.
[09:19] Randou
    Everything in sight was shimmering
    in the extreme heat,
[09:23] Randou
    except the Yokohama sea.
[09:26] Randou
    Just the sea, in the distance,
[09:29] Randou
    basking gently in the moonlight.
[09:32] Randou
    That alone is vivid in my memory.
[09:38] Randou
    That moment, I heard the voice of the beast.
[09:42] Randou
    It was a voice utterly devoid of emotion.
[09:45] Randou
    It terrified me.
[09:51] Randou
    I apologize.
[09:53] Randou
    You two wanted to prove that the former boss was not resurrected by Arahabaki,
[09:57] Randou
    and it was a hoax put together
     by enemy gifted, didn't you?
[10:01] Dazai
    No.
[10:02] Dazai
    That was interesting indeed.
[10:05] Dazai
    Thanks to you, the mystery is solved.

SIGN    Chuuya and Dazai collide violently
SIGN    "Tell me who's behind it!"
SIGN    "No way!"
SIGN    Chuuya quickly closes in on Dazai
SIGN    He unleashes a powerful downward kick
SIGN    Dazai kicks the ground beneath him, leaping into the air away from Chuuya
SIGN    As he descends, he swings down with the club in his hands
SIGN    "Hup!"
SIGN    Chuuya blocks with both hands
SIGN    "Agh!"
SIGN    Dazai lands on the ground
[10:31] [SONG] Text
    Immediately, Chuuya delivers
    a storm of punches
SIGN    "You don't get it, do you?!"
SIGN    "No, I do.
SIGN    Unlike a certain grade-school kid I happen to know!"
SIGN    Dazai takes a step back
SIGN    Chuuya hammers him relentlessly with his fists
SIGN    "Come on, come on! You're never going to win if you're always on the defensive!"
[10:46] Dazai
    Well, too bad for you.
SIGN    The club emits a destruction beam
[10:51] Chuuya
    Hang on a second!
[11:00] Dazai
    Remember our promise?
[11:02] Dazai
    The loser has to obey one order
    from the winner, like a dog.
[11:08] Dazai
    Now, what should I have you do?
[11:11] Chuuya
    I was so sure I could win, too!
[11:14] Dazai
    The strength of your ability is your downfall.
[11:17] Dazai
    It's so strong that you never learn
    to be cunning or to think tactically,
[11:21] Dazai
    whether it's video games or riddles.
[11:24] Chuuya
    Riddles?
[11:26] Chuuya
    I don't remember ever doing
    riddles, let alone losing!
[11:29] Dazai
    Then let's have a contest to see who
    can catch the perpetrator first.
[11:34] Dazai
    If you win, we can call off the bet we had.
[11:38] Dazai
    But if I win, you're my dog for life.
[11:43] Chuuya
    You're on! I'll do it!
[11:46] Chuuya
    I'm neither cunning or tactical?
[11:48] Chuuya
    Why would I ever show you
    what I have up my sleeve?
[11:52] Dazai
    Does the fact you always have your
    fists closed and engage with your opponents
[11:57] Dazai
    using just your kicks have something to
    do with what you have up your sleeve?
[12:01] Chuuya
    How I fight is none of your business.
[12:03] Dazai
    I see.
[12:04] Dazai
    So you're being lazy on purpose.
[12:08] Dazai
    Say, why are you looking for
    the god of fire, Arahabaki?
[12:12] Dazai
    What got you interested?
[12:14] Chuuya
    Why are you so insistent on dying young?
[12:21] Dazai
    What's wrong?
[12:22] Chuuya
    Shut up for a second!
[12:25] Dazai
    Oh, those two.
[12:27] Dazai
    The blue bracelets they're wearing...
[12:29] Dazai
    They're members of the Sheep, aren't they?
[12:31] Dazai
    Is there a problem?
[12:34] Chuuya
    Does this seem like a good
    time for them to see me?
[12:37] Dazai
    Hey, Nakahara Chuuya-kun!
[12:40] Dazai
    Let's get to work!
[12:41] Dazai
    Boss's orders!
[12:42] Chuuya
    What are you, mental?!
[12:44] Chuuya
    Shut up, dammit!
[12:47] Guy
    Chuuya.
[12:48] Guy
    Finally, there you are.
[12:49] Guy
    We were looking for you.
[12:51] Chuuya
    Hey, guys.
[12:52] Chuuya
    You're safe.
[12:54] Guy
    Akira and Shougo were
    abducted by the Port Mafia.
[12:57] Guy
    Let's go to their base
    and give them some pain.
[13:01] Guy
    Like we always do.
[13:03] Chuuya
    Don't worry about that.
[13:05] Chuuya
    We're dealing with that right now.
[13:08] Guy
    Dealing with it?
[13:09] Dazai
    Yeah, dealing with it.
[13:12] Dazai
    Never mind that.
[13:13] Dazai
    Could you tell me what you
    learned about Arahabaki?
[13:17] Dazai
    Have you discovered anything?
[13:19] Guy
    Who's he?
[13:20] Girl
    Is he interested in joining?
[13:22] Chuuya
    Something like that.
[13:24] Chuuya
    Sorry, but would you mind
    answering his question?
[13:28] Chuuya
    Please.
[13:30] Guy
    Sure, I guess.
[13:33] Guy
    Based on our investigation,
    rumors about people seeing
[13:36] Guy
    the previous boss or the black flame
    have exploded in the past week.
[13:42] Dazai
    What's the oldest confirmable rumor?
[13:45] Guy
    Probably eight years ago.
[13:47] Guy
    The giant explosion that created
    Suribachi City at the end of the conflict.
[13:51] Guy
    Arahabaki didn't cause
    any damage prior to that.
[13:56] Dazai
    I thought so.
[13:59] Girl
    Is this kid really a newcomer to the Sheep?
[14:01] Guy
    More importantly, let's come up
    with a plan to get our guys back.
[14:05] Guy
    They were abducted from the
    factory road past the river.
[14:07] Chuuya
    Hang on. You went past the river?
[14:11] Chuuya
    You went to steal booze again?!
[14:13] Chuuya
    So close to the Port Mafia base?!
[14:15] Chuuya
    It's right in the middle of the conflict!
[14:17] Chuuya
    It's like asking to be abducted.
[14:20] Girl
    Please don't shout.
[14:21] Guy
    We're upholding our defensive policy, aren't we?
[14:24] Guy
    Besides, this is a good opportunity.
[14:27] Guy
    Lay your hands on the Sheep and
     we hit back a hundred times harder. Right?
[14:31] Guy
    Isn't it what you always say?
[14:34] Guy
    That anyone who has the means others don't,
[14:37] Guy
    they ought to fulfill that responsibility.
[14:39] Guy
    Fulfill your responsibility as someone
    who has an ability. Please.
[14:44] Dazai
    That's great.
[14:45] Dazai
    You two sure are interesting.
[14:48] Dazai
    He's the one with the strongest power,
[14:52] Dazai
    and he acts like a sheep
    in the eyes of wolves.
[14:55] Dazai
    It seems that leading an organization
[14:59] Dazai
    is a lot harder than you'd imagine.
[15:02] Chuuya
    You...
[15:04] Dazai
    You can't take him with you, though.
[15:06] Dazai
    He's busy carrying out the
     Port Mafia's orders right now.
[15:09] Chuuya
    Hey!
[15:10] Girl
    That's impossible!
[15:12] Girl
    Right, Chuuya?
[15:14] Guy
    You're with the Port Mafia?!
[15:17] Dazai
    Oh, my, I'm scared.
[15:19] Dazai
    You got me.
[15:21] Dazai
    I'll do anything. Just don't kill me.
[15:24] Dazai
    Oh, I know.
[15:25] Dazai
    I'll ask Mori-san to release
    the hostages, so spare me.
[15:31] Guy
    Who told you to contact him? Dammit!
[15:33] Guy
    Are you listening to me?
[15:35] Guy
    Hey!
[15:37] Dazai
    Hey, Mori-san?
[15:39] Dazai
    Yeah.
[15:40] Dazai
    We're making good progress
    on the work you ordered.
[15:42] Dazai
    We're almost done.
[15:43] Dazai
    Regarding that, I want to ask for a favor.
[15:46] Dazai
    Could you release the Sheep hostages?
[15:49] Dazai
    Yup, that's right.
[15:51] Dazai
    Immediately. Unharmed.
[15:54] Dazai
    Sure. Bye.
[15:59] Guy
    The guards are contacting me.
[16:02] Girl
    They've all been released?
[16:06] Guy
    What are you playing at?
[16:08] Dazai
    Are we done here?
[16:10] Dazai
    Let's go.
[16:11] Dazai
    We have work to finish.
[16:13] Girl
    Work?
[16:14] Girl
    Chuuya doesn't do work for the Port Mafia.
[16:17] Guy
    Yeah.
[16:17] Guy
    You have no more hostages.
[16:20] Girl
    Let's go, Chuuya.
[16:24] Girl
    Chuuya?
[16:26] Chuuya
    Sorry. You guys go without me.
[16:29] Guy
    What are you talking about?
[16:31] Chuuya
    Arahabaki comes first.
[16:33] Chuuya
    I made a bet with him
    that I'd find it first.
[16:38] Guy
    Everyone's waiting for you
    to beat down the enemy!
[16:41] Dazai
    Lay off him already.
[16:44] Dazai
    He has the ability to choose for
    himself how to use his power.
[16:49] Dazai
    Even a kid could figure out that much.
[16:53] Dazai
    There's nothing to discuss here.
[16:56] Guy
    Are the rumors actually true?
[16:59] Guy
    That you betrayed the Sheep
    and joined the Port Mafia?
[17:03] Chuuya
    The Port Mafia has nothing to do with this.
[17:05] Chuuya
    This is my own problem.
[17:08] Guy
    Don't you dare forget, Chuuya!
[17:10] Guy
    You had no family or relatives
     when the Sheep accepted you!
[17:17] Guy
    Shit!
[17:34] Dazai
    That should do it.
[17:36] Dazai
    I can't wait.
[17:38] Dazai
    Imagine how happy that brat's
    going to be when he finds out
[17:42] Dazai
    he's getting such a grand party in
    honor of his new-found freedom.
[17:49] Randou
    Dazai-kun,
[17:51] Randou
    you said you found out
    who's behind Arahabaki.
[17:56] Randou
    Is that true?
[17:58] Randou
    Or did you lie to torment Chuuya-kun?
[18:02] Dazai
    Both, of course.
[18:05] Dazai
    I said what I did in front of him
    so he'd take on the bet,
[18:10] Dazai
    but it's also true that
    I know who's behind it.
[18:13] Randou
    Oh?
[18:14] Randou
    Who is it?
[18:16] Dazai
    You, Randou-san.
[18:22] Dazai
    You impersonated the former boss
    and spread rumors about Arahabaki.
[18:28] Dazai
    Do you have anything to say?
[18:31] Randou
    What's your reasoning?
[18:33] Dazai
    You've made a mistake.
[18:35] Dazai
    A very basic mistake.
[18:38] Randou
    And what mistake is that?
[18:41] Dazai
    The sea.
[18:45] Dazai
    You said this:
[18:47] Dazai
    When you saw Arahabaki
    and the black flames...
[18:51] (Flashback) Randou
    Just the sea, in the distance,
[18:55] (Flashback) Randou
    basking gently in the moonlight.
[18:58] (Flashback) Randou
    That alone is vivid in my memory.
[19:01] Randou
    I did say that.
[19:05] Randou
    Because that's what I saw.
[19:08] Randou
    What about it?
[19:11] Dazai
    Are you sure you want
    me to spoil it for you?
[19:13] Randou
    Tell me.
[19:15] Dazai
    It happened close to the
    center of Suribachi City,
[19:19] Dazai
    and Suribachi City is a
    hemispherical basin valley
[19:22] Dazai
    that was carved out by the explosion.
[19:28] Randou
    I see!
[19:29] Dazai
    Exactly.
[19:31] Dazai
    There's no way you would have seen the sea.
[19:34] Dazai
    If you were inside a giant depression
    roughly two kilometers wide,
[19:37] Dazai
    the sea would never be within sight,
    no matter how tall you stood.
[19:41] Dazai
    Why, then, did you say you saw the sea?
[19:45] Dazai
    You described Arahabaki with
    persuasiveness that was almost truthful.
[19:50] Dazai
    So how?
[19:51] Dazai
    It's because you did indeed see the sea.
[19:57] Dazai
    That's why you made that mistake.
[20:00] Dazai
    You could only have seen the sea from
    Suribachi City before it was made.
[20:05] Dazai
    Before the giant explosion eight years ago,
     at the end of the conflict.
[20:12] Randou
    You had a bet with Chuuya-kun, didn't you?
[20:15] Randou
    Have you won that bet, then?
[20:18] Randou
    You've beat him to the man behind it all.
[20:37] Chuuya
    And now I've won the bet
    with the suicidal maniac.
[20:41] Chuuya
    It was your doing, Randou.
[20:43] Chuuya
    You aren't fooling me.
[20:46] Chuuya
    I knew all along that you were lying.
[20:50] Dazai
    Okay, stop!
[20:54] Chuuya
    You!
[20:54] Chuuya
    Why are you here?
[20:57] Dazai
    Just so you know, I made
    the announcement first.
[21:01] Dazai
    I was just in the middle of explaining
    the method behind the crime.
[21:06] Chuuya
    In the middle of? So you weren't done?
[21:09] Chuuya
    Then I win.
[21:11] Dazai
    There's no way you've won, but I'll
    let you explain how you deduced it.
[21:15] Dazai
    How did you deduce that
     Randou-san was behind it?
[21:18] Chuuya
    What is there to deduce?
[21:20] Chuuya
    Anyone could have figured
    it out from what he said.
[21:23] Chuuya
    Every eyewitness so far has
    said they saw the former boss,
[21:29] Chuuya
    but this guy said he saw Arahabaki itself.
[21:34] Randou
    There is no such thing as gods,
    so you decided I did it.
[21:39] Randou
    Is that right?
[21:41] Chuuya
    No.
[21:42] Chuuya
    The opposite.
[21:45] Chuuya
    It's because gods do exist.
[21:50] Chuuya
    I know it.
[21:53] Randou
    You know that Arahabaki exists?
[21:56] Chuuya
    Yeah.
[21:58] Chuuya
    You saw it, too, didn't you?
[21:59] Chuuya
    Eight years ago.
[22:02] Chuuya
    There's no way you could have given
     such a precise account otherwise.
[22:08] Randou
    Chuuya-kun. Do you know
    where Arahabaki is right now?
[22:15] Randou
    Tell me.
[22:17] Dazai
    You should tell him if you know.
[22:21] Dazai
    Randou-san's going to be executed for
    putting the Port Mafia in danger, anyway.
[22:27] Chuuya
    Dammit, why the hell does everyone
    want to meet that thing?
[22:32] Chuuya
    It doesn't have the power
    to revive the dead.
[22:36] Chuuya
    It doesn't even have a
    personality or a mind.
[22:40] Chuuya
    It's the same as a typhoon or earthquake.
[22:43] Randou
    It doesn't need a personality.
[22:46] Randou
    Great destruction.
[22:48] Randou
    Scorching the earth, staining the skies,
     rumbling the air...
[22:52] Randou
    An unfathomable thing from the other side.
[22:55] Randou
    That power is enough for me.
[22:59] Randou
    Tell me, Chuuya-kun, where is this
    thing beyond human comprehension,
[23:03] Randou
    this thing that burned me alive?
[23:18] Chuuya
    I'll tell you if you really want to know.
[23:22] Chuuya
    Arahabaki is...
[23:28] Chuuya
    Me.
[23:30] Dazai
    What?
[23:35] Chuuya
    I had a hunch that you were.
