    Thou Shalt Not Die
[00:05] Francis
    A transaction.
[00:06] Francis
    Use the healing ability for me.
[00:09] Francis
    In exchange, I'll provide information that
     will lead to the Agency's restoration.
[00:13] Francis
    We'll meet in twenty minutes.
[00:14] Francis
    At Goban Street.
[00:16] Kenji
    Information that'll lead to
    the Agency's restoration!
[00:19] Tanizaki
    Now we have some hope.
[00:20] Ougai
    Odd.
[00:22] Ougai
    How did he discover this hideout?
[00:25] Tanizaki
    He must have used his
    Eyes of God or whatever, right?
[00:28] Ougai
    That's the thing.
[00:30] Ougai
    If he was able to discover this hideout,
[00:32] Ougai
    he might as well have done business
    with the Military Police instead.
[00:35] Ougai
    It would have been more profitable to
    do the formidable Hunting Dogs a favor,
[00:39] Ougai
    as opposed to the weakened Detective Agency.
[00:42] Ougai
    The Francis I know always sides with
    the stronger, more bullish side.
[00:48] Ougai
    This transaction may be a trap.
[02:30] Tanizaki
    Yosano-san, where are you going?
[02:33] Tanizaki
    To complete the transaction?
[02:36] Tanizaki
    It might be a trap.
[02:38] Tanizaki
    Why?
[02:41] Tanizaki
    Are you that reluctant
    to join the Port Mafia?
[02:49] (Flashback) Yosano
    Don't give me that bullshit!
[02:50] (Flashback) Yosano
    You can't help us prove
    the Agency's innocence?
[02:54] (Flashback) Ougai
    That is correct.
[02:55] (Flashback) Ougai
    The agreement with Fukuzawa-dono
[02:57] (Flashback) Ougai
    was that we would only help the Agency
[03:00] (Flashback) Ougai
    in exchange for transferring one
    of its members to the Mafia.
[03:04] (Flashback) Yosano
    Transfer a member of the Agency?
[03:06] (Flashback) Yosano
    Do you think you're funny?
[03:07] (Flashback) Yosano
    All you really want is for me
    to join the Mafia, don't you?
[03:13] Tanizaki
    In that case, I'll join the Mafia.
[03:16] Tanizaki
    My ability, Light Snow,
    ought to be useful to them.
[03:21] Tanizaki
    So please, tell me why.
[03:23] Tanizaki
    What happened between
    you and the Mafia boss?
[03:27] Tanizaki
    Does it have something to
    do with the "angel of death"
[03:31] Tanizaki
    that the Hunting Dogs were talking about?
[03:36] Yosano
    I guess I shouldn't trouble you any more.
[03:40] Yosano
    Fine.
[03:41] Yosano
    I'll tell you as we walk.
[03:46] Yosano
    A long time ago, the boss and Mori-sensei
[03:49] Yosano
    were close allies in the
    tripartite framework.
[03:52] Yosano
    Now, though, they're enemies.
[03:54] Yosano
    Why do you think that is?
[03:56] Tanizaki
    Come to think of it...

SIGN    A Dream of Butterflies
[04:05] Yosano
    It's because of me.
SIGN    Fourteen years ago
    Near the end of the great war
[04:13] Yosano
    An island, Tokoyamijima, appeared
    out of nowhere in the Pacific.
[04:16] Yosano
    An unclaimed island where
     it was only ever night,
[04:21] Yosano
    it became the main battleground
    towards the end of the great war.
[04:24] Yosano
    Electromagnetic waves from the aurora
    destroyed electronic equipment,
[04:28] Yosano
    resulting in pre-modern
    close-quarters combat.
[04:42] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Don't just lie there, you lousy soldiers!

    Special ability: Thou Shalt Not Die.

[05:01] (Flashback) Guy A

    I can see!
[05:03] (Flashback) Guy B
    My eyes are working!
[05:05] (Flashback) Guy C
    My leg...
[05:06] (Flashback) Guy C
    I have my leg!
[05:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    You get hurt because you're weak.
[05:09] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Get back to the damn front!

[05:23] (Flashback) Guy D
    Amazing! It's a miracle.
[05:25] (Flashback) Guy E
    You are our god!
[05:27] (Flashback) Guy F
    Our savior!
[05:28] (Flashback) Guy G
    Let us use your likeness as our emblem!
[05:30] (Flashback) Guy H
    Please! Let us worship you!
[05:33] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Go away!
[05:33] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Piss off!
[05:36] (Flashback) Mori
    Are you that enamored with my Yosano-kun?
[05:40] (Flashback) Guy A
    Ch-Chief Mori...
[05:42] (Flashback) Guy A
    We would never...
[05:44] (Flashback) Guy B
    Oh, shit... He's gonna kill us!
[05:46] (Flashback) Guy C
    He's going to pickle our organs.
[05:48] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    "Your" Yosano-kun?
[05:50] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Since when was I yours, Mori-sensei?
[05:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I'll bite your ears off.
[05:56] (Flashback) Mori
    I'm your superior, am I not?
[05:58] (Flashback) Mori
    I have the right to correct your
    attitude and language, too.
[06:02] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I don't care about military policy.
[06:05] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I was working at a candy
    shop until last week,
[06:08] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    when you dragged me out
    here against my will.
[06:18] (Flashback) Mori
    She's so strong willed...
[06:19] (Flashback) Mori
    I like!
[06:28] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Reading a novel?
    Right after you nearly died?
[06:32] (Flashback) Guy
    It's not a novel.
[06:34] (Flashback) Guy
    It's a poetry collection.
[06:37] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Unbelievable.
[06:38] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I'm not telling you to
    thank me with tears of joy,
[06:41] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    but don't you have any intention
    of hurrying back to the front,
[06:45] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    now that you're all better?
[06:47] (Flashback) Guy
    I thank you, for sure.
[06:49] (Flashback) Guy
    That's why I want you to have this.
[06:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    My butterfly.
[06:58] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    No.
[07:00] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    It's...
[07:01] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Metal?
[07:03] (Flashback) Guy
    Thank you, angel.
[07:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    A-Angel?!
[07:13] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    But how did you do that just now?
[07:16] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Was that your special ability?
[07:19] (Flashback) Guy
    It's not much of an ability.
[07:21] (Flashback) Guy
    It's not going to change
    the world, like yours can.
[07:25] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Me? Change the world?
[07:26] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    You're joking.
[07:29] (Flashback) Guy
    There are some things you notice
    because you're just a private.
[07:32] (Flashback) Guy
    The Special Ability Doctrine.
[07:35] (Flashback) Guy
    The great powers of Europe
    that started the Gifted wars
[07:38] (Flashback) Guy
    are changing the very concept of war.
[07:40] (Flashback) Guy
    If we are to prevail, we must prove this
    to the military brass as fast as possible.
[07:47] (Flashback) Guy
    That's why Chief Mori
    brought you into the unit.
[07:53] (Flashback) Guy
    Isn't that right, Chief Mori?
[07:57] (Flashback) Mori
    I see you've read my
    Immortal Regiment paper.
[08:02] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    What are you talking about?!
[08:04] (Flashback) Mori
    I was certain that was a
    classified military document.
[08:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Military brass? Immortal?
    What the hell are you talking about?
[08:10] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I just came here to save people's lives!
[08:13] (Flashback) Mori
    Let's go, Yosano.
[08:15] (Flashback) Mori
    There are more patients waiting.
[08:18] (Flashback) Mori
    Elise-chan, the next chart, please.
[08:22] (Flashback) Elise
    Yes, master.
[08:28] (Flashback) Soldier B
    Dammit...
[08:29] (Flashback) Soldier B
    Those assholes have set up camp so close.
[08:32] (Flashback) Soldier B
    They don't think we're a threat.
[08:34] (Flashback) Soldier C
    I hate to admit it, but we aren't.
[08:36] (Flashback) Soldier C
    We don't even have weapons
    that can reach that far.
[08:39] (Flashback) Soldier D
    We're way outgunned and outnumbered.
[08:43] (Flashback) Soldier D
    Unless something changes...
[08:45] (Flashback) Soldier A
    We'll take them down!
[08:46] (Flashback) Soldier A
    We have an angel on our side.
[08:49] (Flashback) Soldier C
    You're right.
[08:58] (Flashback) Soldier
    Shit!
[09:00] (Flashback) Soldier
    Everyone, get down!
[09:27] (Flashback) Soldier
    I have my right arm.
[09:29] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Are you feeling all right?
[09:38] (Flashback) Soldier
    You look pretty exhausted yourself.
[09:40] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Of course I do.
[09:42] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I treated 80 people all at once.
[09:45] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    The worst one had half his body blown off.
[09:49] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I could heal his wounds with my ability,
    but I couldn't heal his mind.
[09:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    He can't even say his name.
[09:57] (Flashback) Soldier
    What about everyone else?
[09:58] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    The ones who didn't die
    went back to the front.
[10:01] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    They're lacking men.
[10:06] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    "Angel," my ass.
[10:08] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I'm basically healing them
    just for them to die again.
[10:12] (Flashback) Soldier
    You're wrong.
[10:19] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    What's that?
[10:20] (Flashback) Soldier
    I'm keeping count.
[10:23] (Flashback) Soldier
    Of the number of times you've saved my life.
[10:26] (Flashback) Soldier
    Today makes the fifth time.
[10:28] (Flashback) Soldier
    I happen to like tallying with
    the character for "true."
[10:32] (Flashback) Soldier
    Every time I count something
    and I finish writing "true,"
[10:36] (Flashback) Soldier
    I get the sense that something
    just was created in the world.
[10:40] (Flashback) Soldier
    This is your justness.
[10:42] (Flashback) Soldier
    If it weren't for you,
[10:44] (Flashback) Soldier
    I would never have had a chance to
    meet my parents and brother again.
[10:48] (Flashback) Soldier
    I'm glad you're here.
[10:54] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Thanks.
[10:56] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Actually, I...
[10:59] (Flashback) Senior Officer A
    Hey, private first-class!
[11:01] (Flashback) Senior Officer A
    The front is in a dire situation.
[11:03] (Flashback) Senior Officer A
    You're all better, so get back out there!
[11:05] (Flashback) Soldier
    Yes, sir.
[11:12] Yosano
    But as if to laugh in the face of our efforts,
     the situation continued to worsen.
[11:20] Yosano
    I was treating soldiers
    once every three days.
[11:24] Yosano
    Then once every day.
[11:26] Yosano
    Soon, three times a day.
[11:29] Yosano
    It was no longer correct
    to even call it a war.
[11:34] Yosano
    We were just standing there,
    being brutalized.
[11:37] Yosano
    A normal unit would have given
    up and retreated long ago,
[11:42] Yosano
    but that never happened.
[11:45] Yosano
    Because I was there.
[11:48] (Flashback) Soldier F
    It hurts... It hurts...
[11:50] (Flashback) Soldier G
    My leg... My leg!
[11:53] (Flashback) Soldier H
    I can't fight anymore...
[11:54] (Flashback) Soldier H
    Spare me...
[11:55] (Flashback) Soldier I
    No more...
[11:56] (Flashback) Soldier I
    I don't want to go to the front anymore...
[11:59] (Flashback) Mori
    That's a fracture of the right radius.
[12:03] (Flashback) Mori
    Treatment.
[12:04] (Flashback) Soldier
    Dad... Mom...
[12:07] (Flashback) Soldier
    I'll be home soon...
[12:12] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I don't want to fix them.
[12:14] (Flashback) Mori
    You're going to abandon his wounds?
[12:16] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Yeah. That's right.
[12:18] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    Let him fall back and get
    treatment on his own!
[12:22] (Flashback) Mori
    I see.
[12:24] (Flashback) Mori
    You want to free him from the battlefield.
[12:29] (Flashback) Mori
    What a conundrum.
[12:31] (Flashback) Mori
    I'm obliged to give you orders,
[12:35] (Flashback) Mori
    but I have a hard time saying
    no to a girl's wishes...
[12:38] (Flashback) Mori
    Not yours, though.
[12:40] (Flashback) Mori
    Do it.
[12:43] (Flashback) Mori
    You know of the samurai, don't you?
[12:46] (Flashback) Mori
    They failed to understand war by
    gun and cannon, and perished.
[12:52] (Flashback) Mori
    In the war after, the nation that recognized
     tanks as beasts that could ravage
[12:56] (Flashback) Mori
    enemy territory, not as simple turrets,
     massacred the enemy.
[13:02] (Flashback) Mori
    In naval battles, the nation
    that failed to realize
[13:05] (Flashback) Mori
    that planes would be the masters
    of the sea was the one to fall.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mori
    And now, special abilities are changing war.
[13:12] (Flashback) Mori
    Your role is to make the
    military understand change.
[13:16] (Flashback) Mori
    Do it.
[13:17] (Flashback) Mori
    Or else the nation will fall.
[13:19] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I refuse!
[13:20] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I just want to save the
    lives in front of me!
[13:27] (Flashback) Mori
    Very well.
[13:34] (Flashback) Mori
    There.
[13:35] (Flashback) Mori
    He's dying.
[13:37] (Flashback) Mori
    Fix him.
[13:44] Yosano
    No one could leave the battlefield.
[13:49] Yosano
    The soldier who drew a picture of me,
[13:52] Yosano
    the soldier who pat my head,
    saying I reminded him of his sister,
[13:55] Yosano
    the soldier who made me delicious coffee...
[13:58] Yosano
    They all died.
[14:00] Yosano
    If it weren't for me, they could
    have left with mere injuries.
[14:06] Yosano
    Do you know the word "annihilation"?
[14:09] Yosano
    It's used when half of a
    unit is incapacitated.
[14:13] Yosano
    Not when half of the unit is dead.
[14:16] Yosano
    In other words, if half of an army is hurt,
     it retreats and the battle ends.
[14:22] Yosano
    But as long as I was there,
    there was no retreat.
[14:25] Yosano
    That's why they couldn't lose.
[14:28] Yosano
    To lose is a human right,
[14:30] Yosano
    but I took that from them.
[14:34] Yosano
    Deprived of the ability to lose,
    there's only one place a military can go.
[14:39] (Flashback) Soldier F
    Stop him!
[14:40] (Flashback) Soldier G
    Take his dagger!
[14:41] (Flashback) Soldier H
    Everyone's going to die
    because of that bitch!
[14:43] (Flashback) Soldier H
    This isn't a war!
[14:46] (Flashback) Soldier H
    Let me go, asshole!
[14:47] (Flashback) Soldier H
    Let me go! Let me go!
[14:51] (Flashback) Yosano
    It happened on the day a soldier
    I was close to tried to kill me.
[15:04] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    My hair ornament's missing.
[15:07] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I must have dropped it somewhere.
[15:10] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I can't lose it after he gave it to me.
[15:13] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    I have to find it.
[15:16] (Flashback) Soldier
    Yosano-san,
[15:18] (Flashback) Soldier
    I'd like to ask you to deliver a message.
[15:21] (Flashback) Yosano (young)
    That voice...
[15:23] (Flashback) Soldier
    I promised I'd endure...
[15:25] (Flashback) Soldier
    But your ability, the justness
    of it, has taught me...
[15:30] (Flashback) Soldier
    Everyone has their limits.
[15:34] (Flashback) Soldier
    Remember how I called you an angel?
[15:38] (Flashback) Soldier
    You're more than that.
[15:41] (Flashback) Soldier
    You've descended on the battlefield
[15:43] (Flashback) Soldier
    as an angel of death.
[15:46] (Flashback) Soldier
    Please tell my family that I said goodbye.
SIGN    You are too just
SIGN    You are too just
SIGN    You are too just
[16:43] Yosano
    My memory after that
    point is honestly vague.
[16:48] Yosano
    From what I've heard,
[16:49] Yosano
    I was arrested for setting explosives
    to try to blow up the carrier.
[16:55] Yosano
    Even after the war, I was kept
    in isolation in a facility.
[16:59] Yosano
    Not that I imagine I would have left,
     even if the door was open.
[17:04] Tanizaki
    So it was the Agency that rescued you?
[17:09] Yosano
    If only that were the case.
[17:12] Yosano
    It was the worst person imaginable who did.
[17:16] Yosano
    It was three years after the war ended.
[17:29] (Flashback) Mori
    I finally found you.
[17:36] (Flashback) Mori
    I need your ability again.
[17:49] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    You would drag her back into hell again?!
[17:52] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    Are you playing the part
    of a devil, Mori-sensei?!
[17:55] (Flashback) Mori
    She is the very pillar of the
    tripartite framework, of the city's peace.
[18:00] (Flashback) Mori
    An immortal army, led by Yosano-kun,
[18:03] (Flashback) Mori
    is best suited to defeating
    the formidable Port Mafia boss!
[18:09] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    "Best suited," my ass!
[18:11] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    Your reasoning lacks humanity!
[18:14] (Flashback) Mori
    Humanity?!
[18:16] (Flashback) Mori
    War is a game in which the first to
    take humanity into account loses!
[18:20] (Flashback) Fukuzawa
    Then our alliance ends today!
[18:24] (Flashback) Mori
    In fact, it's your life that ends today!
[18:34] (Flashback) Rampo
    Sheesh, nasty.
[18:36] (Flashback) Rampo
    Grown-up fights are always so pompous.
[18:40] (Flashback) Rampo
    Oh, this?
[18:42] (Flashback) Rampo
    I'm freeing you while the boss is fighting.
[18:45] (Flashback) Rampo
    That's the plan.
[18:47] (Flashback) Yosano
    Take me back.
[18:50] (Flashback) Yosano
    Take me back.
[18:51] (Flashback) Yosano
    I can't go outside.
[18:54] (Flashback) Rampo
    Why not?
[18:55] (Flashback) Yosano
    My special ability makes
    it too easy to save lives.
[19:00] (Flashback) Yosano
    I make the lives of everyone
     around me seem cheap.
[19:04] (Flashback) Yosano
    I can't be allowed to live.
[19:09] (Flashback) Rampo
    That's so stupid.
[19:11] (Flashback) Rampo
    I don't give a crap.
[19:14] (Flashback) Rampo
    Why don't you give up using
    your special ability, then?
[19:17] (Flashback) Yosano
    If I could do that...
[19:19] (Flashback) Rampo
    You're saying you can't?
[19:21] (Flashback) Rampo
    Why not?
[19:22] (Flashback) Rampo
    Because you have a crazy healing ability?
[19:25] (Flashback) Rampo
    Because everyone tried to use your ability?
[19:30] (Flashback) Rampo
    Nope.
[19:31] (Flashback) Rampo
    My superhuman deduction is the
    best special ability in the world.
[19:34] (Flashback) Rampo
    No other ability matters.
[19:37] (Flashback) Rampo
    With me on your side,
    I can solve all your problems!
[19:41] (Flashback) Rampo
    If you doubt my abilities,
    I can prove it to you.
[19:57] (Flashback) Yosano
    It's...
[19:59] (Flashback) Yosano
    How?
[20:01] (Flashback) Yosano
    I never told anyone about this!
[20:04] (Flashback) Rampo
    I found it on an old carrier.
[20:07] (Flashback) Rampo
    See?
[20:08] (Flashback) Rampo
    I know everything.
[20:10] (Flashback) Rampo
    Try asking me a question.
[20:12] (Flashback) Rampo
    I'll answer anything..
[20:15] (Flashback) Yosano
    Then... What should I do now?
[20:20] (Flashback) Yosano
    The people I cared about died because of me.
[20:23] (Flashback) Yosano
    That's how it's always going to be.
[20:26] (Flashback) Yosano
    There will always be people who want
    to use my ability against my will.

[20:32] (Flashback) Yosano
    Is there really anywhere
    I can be allowed to live?
[20:36] (Flashback) Rampo
    There is.
[20:40] (Flashback) Rampo
    There's just one place in the
    world that doesn't need you.
[20:46] (Flashback) Rampo
    Join the Armed Detective Agency.
[20:49] (Flashback) Rampo
    We don't want your special ability.
[20:52] (Flashback) Rampo
    We want that kindness of yours.
[20:54] (Flashback) Rampo
    You didn't want anyone to die, did you?
[20:57] (Flashback) Rampo
    That's why you're in so much pain.
[21:00] (Flashback) Rampo
    I want to invite you because
    you have such kindness.
[21:04] (Flashback) Rampo
    I don't care about your ability.
[21:06] (Flashback) Rampo
    It's your kindness that means something.
[21:21] Tanizaki
    Yosano-san, what's wrong?
[21:26] Yosano
    Nothing.
[21:29] Yosano
    Let's go.
[21:30] Yosano
    The transaction takes place
     through the door.
[21:35] Yosano
    I'm saving the Agency, no matter what.
[21:39] (Flashback) Rampo
    There's just one place in the
    world that doesn't need you.
[21:50] Yosano
    The Agency is the one place in the
    world where I can be allowed to live.
