SIGN    Only a Diamond Can
    Polish a Diamond
[00:04] Chuuya
    I only have memories of part of my life.
[00:09] Chuuya
    Unlike you, I didn't lose
    my memories from trauma.
[00:13] Chuuya
    My very life has only existed
     since that day eight years ago.
[00:18] Chuuya
    Everything before that is darkness.
[00:27] Chuuya
    Somewhere in that darkness,
    I floated aimlessly.
[00:36] Chuuya
    Someone's hand broke through
    the bounds of that void
[00:41] Chuuya
    and dragged me into the outer world.
[00:53] Chuuya
    That hand was yours, wasn't it?
[00:56] Chuuya
    Where did you find me?
[00:59] Chuuya
    I followed this case to find that out.
[01:04] Chuuya
    Now, tell me everything.
[01:07] Randou
    I will, of course.
[01:10] Randou
    You're worthy of knowing.
[01:18] Dazai
    Why can't he defend himself with gravity?
[01:21] Randou
    Unlike a bullet,
[01:23] Randou
    the subspace I control doesn't
    abide by the laws of physics.
[01:27] Randou
    The subspace is a separate world,
    closed off from regular space.
[01:44] Randou
    You cannot come in unless I invite you.
     Nor can you leave.
[01:52] Dazai
    You've left me outside while
    deploying your subspace.
[01:55] Dazai
    You must know what my ability is.
[01:58] Chuuya
    Son of a...!
[02:01] Randou
    I'm surprised that didn't kill you.
[02:03] Randou
    I suppose I should have expected as
    much from Arahabaki's incarnation.
[02:12] Randou
    Chuuya-kun. You can't touch me in this space,
[02:17] Randou
    but I can attack you as I wish.
[02:41] Chuuya
    Any ability that touches
    that dolt gets nullified.
[02:45] Chuuya
    If you try to quarantine
    him with your subspace,
[02:48] Chuuya
    you'll make a good trench for me.
[02:51] Randou
    True, his existence is heretical.
[02:54] Randou
    The ultimate anti-gifted,
    with no peer even in the west.
[02:58] Dazai
    The west?
[03:01] Randou
    Still...
[03:17] Randou
    How've you been, kid?
[03:19] Dazai
    You look well for someone
    who's been dead, Boss.
[03:25] Dazai
    Or rather, former boss.
[03:29] Chuuya
    There's no way he could have hurt
    that idiot with his special ability.
[03:32] Dazai
    You got me.
[03:34] Dazai
    The former boss's giant scythe
     isn't an ability. It's real.
[03:40] Chuuya
    So it could kill you, then.
[03:46] Chuuya
    The former boss is dead.
[03:51] Chuuya
    What did you do, Randou-san?
[03:53] Randou
    My ability can turn corpses
     stored in my subspace
[03:57] Randou
    into supernatural beings I command.
[04:01] Randou
    I can only control one at a time, though.
[04:06] Dazai
    That's amazing.
[04:08] Dazai
    You've been hiding that ability from
    the organization this whole time?
[04:13] Dazai
    Just who are you?
[04:16] Randou
    I was formerly a gifted western spy.
[04:21] Randou
    I came to this nation to obtain
     a high-energy being
[04:24] Randou
    the government of Japan
    had supposedly discovered.
[04:29] Dazai
    And that's Arahabaki.
[04:33] Randou
    My sole purpose for this
    plan has been to kill you,
[04:38] Randou
    Chuuya-kun, and subsume you as the replacement
[04:42] Randou
    supernatural being for the former boss.
[04:46] Randou
    Dazai-kun, if the boss were
    to learn what you just have,
[04:51] Randou
    he would attempt to have me assassinated.
[04:54] Randou
    I regretfully ask you to die
     with Chuuya-kun.
[05:03] (Flashback) Mori
    It's not a big deal.
[05:06] (Flashback) Mori
    There's no danger involved.
[05:10] Dazai
    I like it.
[05:14] Dazai
    Hey.
[05:17] Dazai
    Let's kill them.
[05:18] Dazai
    Together.
[05:20] Randou
    What?
[05:21] Randou
    I thought you wanted to die.
[05:23] Dazai
    I'm starting to like working for the Port Mafia.
[05:28] Dazai
    In the outside world,
    death is pushed away from everyday life.
[05:32] Dazai
    But in the Mafia's world, death is an
    extension of and a part of everyday life.
[05:38] Dazai
    I tend to think that's more accurate.
[05:41] Dazai
    After all, to die isn't the opposite of living.
[05:45] Dazai
    It's merely a component
    of the process of life.
[05:49] Dazai
    Without observing death up close,
[05:52] Dazai
    one can't capture the full picture
    of what it means to live.
[05:55] Chuuya
    In other words,
    the suicidal maniac wants to live.
[06:00] Chuuya
    Is that it?
[06:02] Dazai
    I've come to think it's worth trying.
[06:04] Dazai
    That's all.
[06:07] Randou
    That won't be necessary.
[06:11] Randou
    It's death time for kids.
[06:12] Dazai
    Oh, really?
[06:24] Dazai
    There you have it.
[06:26] Dazai
    You understand, don't you?
[06:27] Chuuya
    Don't give me orders.
[06:41] Randou
    Eight years ago, I tried to take you,
[06:44] Randou
    Arahabaki, as my supernatural being.
[06:48] Randou
    But the moment Arahabaki emerged,
    it decimated the surroundings.
[06:55] Randou
    I won't make the same mistake twice.
[06:58] Randou
    This time, I'll end your life
     thoroughly and subsume you.
[07:22] Randou
    What?
[07:23] Randou
    You soaked up the impact by increasing
    your gravity and density?
[07:29] Chuuya
    Hey.
[07:32] Chuuya
    Want me to tell you why I was keeping
    both my hands tucked away until now?
[07:38] Chuuya
    I thought that if I ever felt like I was about to lose,
[07:42] Chuuya
    that feeling might give me
     a reason to be fond...
[07:49] Chuuya
    ...of my humanity.
[07:51] Randou
    Magnificent!
[07:53] Randou
    Once I subsume you, perhaps
    the coldness I feel will disappear.
[07:58] Dazai
    Come on, Chuuya!
[08:03] Chuuya
    You move, Dazai, you piece of shit.
[08:09] Boss
    This is the end, son!
[08:12] Chuuya
    Hey!
[08:19] Randou
    What?!
[08:20] Dazai
    Chuuya!
[08:22] Chuuya
    Come on, Dazai!
[08:25] Randou
    I won't let you!
[08:29] Randou
    No!
[08:47] Chuuya
    It's over.
[08:49] Chuuya
    You cannot escape gravity!
[08:56] Dazai
    If Randou-san's subspace vanishes,
    naturally, so will you.
[09:01] Dazai
    But...
[09:09] Dazai
    Let me thank you for once.
[09:37] Chuuya
    What are you, shitty Dazai? A magician?
[09:40] Dazai
    Listen, Chuuya, do you really think
    I'd be wearing a cast for no reason?
[09:46] Dazai
    You're going to tell us everything,
    aren't you, Randou-san?
[09:50] Randou
    That day, eight years ago,
[09:53] Randou
    my spy partner and I infiltrated this nation.
[09:59] Dazai
    Your partner?
[10:00] Dazai
    We were here to take the high-energy being
[10:04] Dazai
    the military was supposedly
    hiding in a secret facility.
[10:08] Dazai
    But the moment I took the being,
[10:12] Dazai
    my partner betrayed me and our nation.
[10:16] Dazai
    He and I fought over the being and, in the end,
[10:21] Dazai
    we were discovered and confronted
    by the Japanese military.
[10:25] Dazai
    In order to escape, I unleashed you,
[10:32] Dazai
    the being I'd stolen,
     and tried to take control.
[10:38] Dazai
    In that instant you blew up the
    facility along with all its records,
[10:43] Dazai
    and I lost my memories.
[10:54] Dazai
    My name isn't Randou.
[10:57] Dazai
    Someone of this nation simply
    misread the hat that I wore,
[11:02] Dazai
    and gave the name to me.
[11:04] Dazai
    What happened to your partner?
[11:07] Randou
    I killed him with my own hands.
[11:11] Randou
    Chuuya-kun.
[11:13] Randou
    I suspect you aren't Arahabaki itself,
[11:16] Randou
    but a human being chosen as a vessel
    to keep Arahabaki under control.
[11:22] Randou
    But you are strong, not as
     the Aragami but as a human being.
[11:29] Chuuya
    Well, thanks.
[11:31] Randou
    Whatever may live inside you,
[11:35] Randou
    you are already you.
[11:37] Randou
    Is that not enough?
[11:42] Randou
    All people, all creatures,
[11:47] Randou
    live without knowing what
    they really are.
[11:56] Randou
    It's odd...
[12:00] Randou
    I'm not the least bit cold.
[12:30] Chuuya
    What a pain in the ass, even in death.
[12:34] Chuuya
    The Port Mafia took all the records
    you'd collected on Arahabaki.
[12:41] Chuuya
    Thanks to you, I have no leads.
[12:47] Chuuya
    Well, not that you would have told anyone
[12:50] Chuuya
    about that stuff, even if you'd been alive.
[12:55] Chuuya
    I'll be back.
[13:06] Shirase
    I've been looking for you, Chuuya.
[13:08] Chuuya
    Shirase.
[13:10] Chuuya
    How did you find me here?
[13:12] Shirase
    I wanted to apologize to you.
[13:15] Shirase
    We did some soul-searching
    after what happened.
[13:18] Shirase
    We have a good understanding
    of the Sheep's problems now.
[13:23] Shirase
    So we all talked it over
    and came up with a solution.
[13:28] Chuuya
    If it's something you decided
     together, I won't—
[13:34] Chuuya
    You...
[13:39] Shirase
    We attack you from outside your periphery,
[13:41] Shirase
    when your guard is completely down.
[13:43] Shirase
    That way, you won't have
    time to use gravity.
[13:46] Shirase
    Right, Chuuya?
[13:50] Chuuya
    What do you think you're doing?
[13:52] Shirase
    You should try not to move.
[13:55] Shirase
    I rubbed rat poison on the blade.
[13:58] Shirase
    Your limbs will be numb
    and immobilized for a while.
[14:02] Shirase
    You wouldn't have had to go through
    this if you weren't so strong.
[14:11] Chuuya
    Guys!
[14:12] Shirase
    This is the solution we chose.
[14:16] Shirase
    We'll team up with the GSS.
[14:19] Shirase
    We all came to the realization
[14:21] Shirase
    that if you were to side with the Port Mafia,
[14:25] Shirase
    you'd get everyone in the Sheep killed.
[14:27] Chuuya
    I would never betray the organization!
[14:31] Shirase
    Unlike you, the GSS doesn't
    change its loyalties on a whim.
[14:35] Shirase
    They can be trusted
    as long as they can profit.
[14:38] Shirase
    This is the smarter way to fight
     against the Port Mafia!
[14:47] Chuuya
    I suppose I was the fool.
[14:52] Shirase
    Get him! Fire!
[15:05] Shirase
    He may be weakened by the poison,
    but it won't be enough to kill him!
[15:09] Shirase
    Find him quickly!
[15:10] Shirase
    Don't let him live!
[15:18] Chuuya
    Shit.
[15:22] Chuuya
    "Leader," my ass.
[15:25] Chuuya
    I was the one ruining the organization.
[15:28] Dazai
    Hey, Chuuya.
[15:31] Dazai
    You look like you're in a bind.
[15:33] Chuuya
    Why are you here, shitty Dazai?
[15:37] Chuuya
    Are you here to kill me, too?
[15:40] Dazai
    I have a message from Mori-san.
[15:42] Dazai
    He wants me to officially
    recruit you into the Port Mafia.
[15:47] Chuuya
    Are you trying to make me
     owe you by saving me?
[15:49] Dazai
    The message isn't important.
[15:51] Dazai
    I'm just here for a massacre.
[15:54] Dazai
    Mori-san is a pretty demanding employer.
[15:57] Dazai
    The moment I joined the Port Mafia,
    he put me in charge of the army.
[16:02] Dazai
    Two enemies, the GSS and the Sheep,
    have formed an alliance.
[16:07] Dazai
    We have to shut them down before
    they become completely coordinated.
[16:11] Dazai
    But, hey, we'll be done by noon.
[16:15] Dazai
    We're killing them all.
[16:18] Chuuya
    Including the Sheep?
[16:20] Dazai
    There's no change to our policy.
[16:23] Dazai
    That said, if someone, a peer...
[16:28] Dazai
    Someone who has information
    on the enemy... can advise us,
[16:32] Dazai
    I wouldn't mind changing our policy.
[16:35] Chuuya
    A peer's advice, huh?
[16:38] Dazai
    Right.
[16:39] Dazai
    For example, a peer in the Port Mafia.
[16:41] Dazai
    I could trust the advice of one of my own.
[16:44] Chuuya
    So you want to make a deal.
[16:46] Chuuya
    You devil.
[16:48] Dazai
    Although, anyone who lost to me in a game
[16:52] Dazai
    is bound to get worked to the
    bone in this organization.
[16:59] Chuuya
    I'll shred you someday.
[17:01] Dazai
    I like that expression.
[17:03] Dazai
    You look like a wild beast.
[17:06] Chuuya
    Don't kill the children.
[17:09] Dazai
    Sure.
[17:10] Dazai
    Got that, everyone?
[17:12] Dazai
    As we discussed earlier,
    no hurting the kids.
[17:18] Chuuya
    I see.
[17:20] Chuuya
    He'd calculated that this would happen, too.
[17:24] Chuuya
    Ever since he made that
    phone call at the arcade...
[17:30] Chuuya
    He did it to sow doubt
    about me in my people.
[17:36] Chuuya
    That son of a bitch...
[17:41] Chuuya
    I'm game, then.
[17:50] Chuuya
    What's up with this hat?
[17:52] Mori
    Normally, in the Port Mafia,
[17:54] Mori
    whoever recruits a new member
    is responsible for their care.
[17:59] Mori
    As a symbol of that, they hand
    down one of their belongings.
[18:03] Mori
    I gave Dazai-kun my coat.
[18:06] Mori
    And that's for you.
[18:08] Chuuya
    It's an old hat.
[18:10] Mori
    It belonged to Randou-kun.
[18:19] Mori
    It seems he'd been investigating Arahabaki.
[18:23] Mori
    Apparently, the military facility
    he infiltrated was researching
[18:28] Mori
    the creation of an artificial gifted by
    combining gifted and normal beings.
[18:32] Chuuya
    Artificial gifted?
[18:34] Mori
    Those are the documents he collected.
[18:38] Mori
    I apologize,
[18:41] Mori
    but only executives have
    permission to view those files.
[18:47] Chuuya
    What makes you think I won't
    pummel you and take it for myself?
[18:51] Mori
    You aren't such a fool of a human.
[18:56] Mori
    Besides, I can answer another question
    that you would want answered.
[19:07] Chuuya
    So you see right through me, huh?
[19:10] Chuuya
    Tell me one thing: What exactly
    is the leader of an organization?
[19:14] Mori
    A leader is both the head of the organization
    and the organization's slave.
[19:20] Mori
    For the survival and profit
    of the organization,
[19:22] Mori
    they gladly put themselves
    through any manner of filth.
[19:26] Mori
    They develop their subordinates
    and place them where they best fit.
[19:30] Mori
    And, if necessary,
     they use and dispose of them.
[19:36] Mori
    For the sake of the organization,
     they take on any act of barbarism with glee.
[19:41] Mori
    That is a leader.
[19:48] Mori
    All for the organization,
[19:50] Mori
    and for the protection of this beloved city.
[19:57] Chuuya
    I see.
[19:59] Chuuya
    That's what was missing in me.
[20:12] Chuuya
    Then I dedicate my blood
    and all that I am to you, Boss.
[20:17] Chuuya
    I will protect this organization
    that you work to support,
[20:21] Chuuya
    and I will work for you
    to decimate its enemies.
[20:24] Chuuya
    Our enemies will know the vicious gravity
[20:29] Chuuya
    that will crush those
    who oppose the Port Mafia.
[20:38] Mori
    Welcome to the Port Mafia,
    Nakahara Chuuya-kun.
[20:50] Chuuya
    Why are you taking me to
    the meeting, old sis?
[20:53] Kouyou
    Stop calling me that.
[20:55] Kouyou
    I'm not that old yet.
[20:58] Kouyou
    For your information, of course.
[21:01] Kouyou
    The meeting today is with one of
    the Mafia's front organizations.
[21:06] Kouyou
    Every cup of tea,
    every pause in the conversation
[21:10] Kouyou
    affects the Mafia's future.
[21:12] Kouyou
    What if I take part in the
    meeting and make them angry?
[21:17] Chuuya
    We'll deal with that when it happens.
[21:19] Chuuya
    If the boat is so easily tipped,
[21:23] Chuuya
    it would be more triumphant
    to destroy it spectacularly.
[21:28] Q
    I'm Kyusaku!
[21:29] Q
    Hey, let's play.
[21:30] Q
    Come on, let's play.
[21:32] Dazai
    Fine, fine, when you're older.
[21:36] Chuuya
    You!
[21:37] Dazai
    Chuuya!
[21:39] Dazai
    Why do you think we recruited you?!
[21:42] Dazai
    You're my dog!
[21:45] Dazai
    If I tell you my leg is itchy,
    you scratch it.
[21:47] Dazai
    If I tell you I want to eat soba, you threaten
     a soba shop owner into coming here.
[21:50] Dazai
    That's your job!
[21:51] Dazai
    So what the hell are you doing
    in Kouyou-san's direct command?!
[21:54] Dazai
    Working your way up the ladder?!
[21:56] Dazai
    Smooth sailing?!
[21:57] Dazai
    You're young! Go do some grunt work!
[21:59] Chuuya
    Shut up, you scheming bastard!
[22:02] Chuuya
    I joined the Port Mafia of my own accord!
[22:05] Chuuya
    I'm not going to be your
    henchman or your dog!
[22:08] Kouyou
    Was it really such a good idea to have
    these two in the same organization?
[22:12] Kouyou
    Now what?
[22:14] Mori
    Only a diamond can polish a diamond.
[22:20] Mori
    Natsume-sensei, those words you
    told me and Fukuzawa-dono...
[22:25] Mori
    I'm going to find out if you were right.
