[00:13] ---
    Who would want to be cursed?!
[00:19] ---
    Carnival Cleaver, recreation.
    Let's chop her into chunks!
[00:24] ---
    What?!
[00:26] ---
    This cooking utensil for human bodies
    remembers the deeds it once performed.
[00:31] ---
    Therefore, it not only
    faithfully performs the actions
[00:35] ---
    from the time it chopped up human bodies.
    It can also recreate them at the same time.
[00:39] ---
    Recreate?!
[01:00] ---
    The melody of the whispering breeze,
    stealing away the heart of the rain shower

[01:12] ---
    The clear azure sky
    changes to a deep violet

[01:24] ---
    The fleeting illusion
    appears shining brightly

[01:30] ---
    I ponder it, along with
    the recollections I nestle

[01:37] ---
    Memories piled like diamonds of light
    act as guides on the path I followed here

[01:43] ---
    A single sign is worth more
    than countless words

[01:49] ---
    The sound of footsteps as I start
    running vanishes into eternity

[01:55] ---
    I'll carve my spiral oath
    with my own two hands

[02:13] ---
    Configuration number 20, Giant Cutting
    Blade, Hatchet of Slow Slicing!
[02:18] ---
    "Chapter 12"
    "The Transcendentals Are Everywhere"
[02:30] ---
    Let's julienne her!
[02:40] ---
    Let's chop her up finely!
[02:48] ---
    Let's pound her several times!
[02:52] ---
    Configuration number 8,
    Crushing Frankish Kingdom Punishment Wheel!
[03:05] ---
    Fear!
[03:14] ---
    Dammit! How'd I let myself get captured?!
[03:17] ---
    I'm captured, too. Don't blame yourself.
[03:20] ---
    I thought after a little time,
    I'd be able to move slightly,
[03:23] ---
    but nothing's changed at all.
[03:25] ---
    What's wrong?
[03:27] ---
    Oh... I see...
[03:29] ---
    You and me, our circumstances are different.
[03:32] ---
    I get it. I finally understand!
[03:38] ---
    Haru?
[03:49] ---
    I did it!
[03:52] ---
    --Kuroe, please heal me after
    all this is over!
[03:55] ---
    --Sure.
[03:59] ---
    Oh, my...
[04:01] ---
    Haruaki-kun!
[04:03] ---
    What...?
[04:05] ---
    I made a little effort.
[04:07] ---
    A little? Ludicrous.
[04:10] ---
    But that's just like you.
[04:12] ---
    Oh, dear. This throws a fly in my ointment.
[04:15] ---
    You don't stand a chance now!
[04:17] ---
    Next up will be group tactics, eh?
[04:20] ---
    Yes, that's fine with me.
[04:23] ---
    You're bluffing!
[04:24] ---
    I have something that can
    turn a bluff into reality.
[04:28] ---
    This "Beautiful Suicide Mirror"
    is a truly transcendental Worse.
[04:34] ---
    It has three main functions.
[04:35] ---
    The first is making its owner beautiful.
[04:39] ---
    The second is "Welcome to the Other Side."
[04:42] ---
    Which stops movement,
    as Kuroe-sama can attest.
[04:45] ---
    What?
[04:47] ---
    And the third...
[04:49] ---
    I'll give you a demonstration.
[04:51] ---
    "Hello to Another One."
[05:06] ---
    Yes. It makes a copy of whatever
    is reflected in the mirror.
[05:11] ---
    Everything is the same except
    for bilateral symmetry.
[05:16] ---
    Although, after ten minutes,
    the copy disappears.
[05:19] ---
    Naturally, the mirror
    itself can't be copied.
[05:23] ---
    I see...
[05:31] ---
    This is what you call
    a doppelganger, isn't it?
[05:38] ---
    What are you doing?!
[05:42] ---
    Oh, don't mind me...
[05:45] ---
    Once in a while, this curse
    gets a craving to do this.
[05:51] ---
    It's the Families' duty to respond
    to the desires of a curse.
[05:56] ---
    I'll stop the bleeding, me.
[05:59] ---
    Oh, thank you, me.
[06:03] ---
    You're repulsive.
[06:04] ---
    But, one becoming two
    doesn't change a thing...
[06:07] ---
    Is that right?
[06:09] ---
    No one ever said that it can only make one.
[06:13] ---
    Hello, me. You'll only be around for
    ten minutes, but please give me a hand.
[06:18] ---
    It'll be my pleasure, me.
[06:24] ---
    All right, let's begin this team battle.
[06:27] ---
    I-I'm sure they'll all vanish
    if I destroy that mirror!
[06:31] ---
    We're copies, yet we're the real thing.
[06:43] ---
    See? Warm blood perks you up, doesn't it?
[06:47] ---
    You can see it flowing out
    more and more, can't you?
[06:51] ---
    No... I-I don't mean to...
[06:56] ---
    Please feel it even more.
[06:59] ---
    It's been a long time, hasn't it?
[07:01] ---
    D-Don't...
[07:03] ---
    There's no need to hold back. Go ahead...
[07:06] ---
    Please. Enjoy yourself...
[07:10] ---
    Come on! More viciously! More...
[07:14] ---
    I apologize for her unseemly display.
[07:17] ---
    But she was a perfect copy,
    so it can't be helped.
[07:20] ---
    It'll disappear after ten minutes,
    so please pardon the corpse until then.
[07:25] ---
    No...
[07:26] ---
    It was... It was a fake...
[07:30] ---
    Don't remember! No!
[07:32] ---
    No! No! I didn't kill anyone...
[07:35] ---
    You don't need to bottle it up.
[07:38] ---
    That's the real you.
[07:41] ---
    If you wish, I could prepare a real victim
    for you at a moment's notice...
[07:47] ---
    Do you prefer children?
[07:49] ---
    Women? Scoundrels? Acquaintances?
[07:53] ---
    Fear! Don't listen to her! Calm down!
[08:05] ---
    President!
[08:06] ---
    Huh? What's this?
[08:09] ---
    It's not just the belt.
    You're also wearing something odd.
[08:13] ---
    And curiously enough,
    your wounds keep healing.
[08:18] ---
    How marvelous and strange!
[08:22] ---
    Let's see... You've caught my interest.
[08:25] ---
    This is a Worse too, isn't it?
[08:32] ---
    What wonderful transcendency!
[08:40] ---
    Lovely, isn't it, me?
[08:45] ---
    President!
[08:46] ---
    Konoha! Can you return to sword form?
[08:49] ---
    Can't... Haruaki... kun... run...
[08:53] ---
    Please, Konoha!
[09:21] ---
    Haruaki...
[09:22] ---
    Haruaki-kun...
[09:24] ---
    Haru!
[09:25] ---
    Ya... chi...
[09:27] ---
    Um, I'm sorry,
[09:30] ---
    but you're the only one here
    that I have no interest in.
[09:34] ---
    So would you not interfere?
[09:38] ---
    You've gotta... be kidding...
[09:50] ---
    This is a farce. And I'm going
    to bring it to an end right now.
[09:54] ---
    There's only one thing
    I have to say to all of you.
[09:57] ---
    You're foolish.
[09:58] ---
    If you can see the future,
    scream in advance,
[10:01] ---
    fools.
[10:02] ---
    Even if you can't see
    the future, scream anyway,
[10:06] ---
    nitwits.
[10:07] ---
    All right! If fools die,
    their foolishness goes with them.
[10:10] ---
    Embody that truism right here.
[10:13] ---
    You! You! You!
[10:16] ---
    It will begin with this arm...
[10:19] ---
    and end with it!
[10:27] ---
    Will you do it quickly?
    This is getting embarrassing...
[10:32] ---
    Oof!
[10:35] ---
    Phew!
[10:37] ---
    U-Um...
[10:39] ---
    The Masked Maid of Justice is here!
[10:42] ---
    Bullying is an absolute no-no!
[10:48] ---
    I speak with royal authority.
[10:50] ---
    All dolls are my subjects.
[10:53] ---
    Submit to me! Obey!
[10:57] ---
    This is strange. My body
    is moving by itself.
[11:00] ---
    Leave it to me!
[11:01] ---
    Then take care of that mirror, friend!
[11:03] ---
    Roger!
[11:12] ---
    Drat!
[11:16] ---
    Oh! Once it broke,
    I could move by myself again!
[11:23] ---
    Mode: Killing Machine Masakado!
[11:28] ---
    Haru. If I keep these copies ensnared
    like this, they'll eventually disappear.
[11:34] ---
    I'll leave the original to you!
[11:35] ---
    Got it!
[11:36] ---
    Fear, are you okay?
[11:38] ---
    Of course!
[11:39] ---
    How dare you...
    How dare you do that to me?!
[11:43] ---
    Fear-chan, do your best!
    Kick the evil one's ass!
[11:47] ---
    We did our best too, huh, Shiraho?
[11:49] ---
    Mission accomplished?
[11:51] ---
    It was embarrassing for me.
[11:53] ---
    But why...?
[11:54] ---
    Think of them as comrades, too.
[11:57] ---
    We owed you one.
[12:00] ---
    And now that debt has been repaid.
[12:02] ---
    Let's go.
[12:03] ---
    A-Already?!
[12:05] ---
    You were a great help, Shiraho!
    Sovereignty!
[12:08] ---
    Thank you!
[12:10] ---
    Whatever...
[12:12] ---
    Unbelievable!
[12:14] ---
    Don't you know how much I love you?!
[12:17] ---
    You hurt Haruaki!
[12:19] ---
    You made me kill you!
[12:24] ---
    I'd forgotten... I'd forgotten that
    sensation, but you made me remember it!
[12:29] ---
    You stand for curses, so you
    approve of the way I used to be!
[12:35] ---
    But now, I disavow all that!
[12:38] ---
    Let's pound her over and over again!
[12:42] ---
    Configuration number 22,
    Crushing Needle Ball, Pole Star!
[12:50] ---
    This newfound righteousness of yours;
    what do you have to back that up?!
[12:54] ---
    I don't have anything to back it up!
[12:57] ---
    But Haruaki said I could become human!
[13:00] ---
    That's all!
[13:02] ---
    Well, well. I'm afraid I
    don't understand you.
[13:05] ---
    So what?!
[13:06] ---
    I understand!
[13:13] ---
    Configuration number 29,
    Choking Sacred Image, Steel Virgin Mary!
[13:19] ---
    Curse Calling!
[13:25] ---
    Why do you reject us that much?
[13:30] ---
    I want to be human.
[13:32] ---
    I want to become a human!
[13:34] ---
    Humans are weak! They're foolish!
[13:37] ---
    They lead a powerless,
    insignificant existence, and yet...
[13:44] ---
    Yes! They're weak, foolish, and worthless!
[13:49] ---
    But...
[13:52] ---
    they were laughing!
    They looked so happy!
[13:56] ---
    I want to be like that!
[13:58] ---
    I want to join them and be happy!
[14:01] ---
    What's wrong with thinking that?!
[14:03] ---
    So to me, these humans
    who can do what I can't...
[14:07] ---
    They're the transcendentals!
[14:10] ---
    Wh-What...?
[14:16] ---
    After all, humans didn't save me then...
[14:22] ---
    What saved me was...
[14:25] ---
    That's why...
[14:27] ---
    That's why...
[14:29] ---
    even the idea that humans
    are transcendentals is...
[14:46] ---
    God, what punishment is this?
[14:50] ---
    Why won't you help me?
[15:00] ---
    Yes. This too is suffering
    that I need to overcome...
[15:04] ---
    Don't move!
[15:06] ---
    Oh. Any moment now...
[15:08] ---
    Are you listening to me?! Surrender!
[15:29] ---
    Th-Thank you. You saved me.
[15:33] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[15:35] ---
    Your surrogate was broken.
[15:38] ---
    The Beautiful Suicide Mirror, too.
[15:40] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:42] ---
    I don't care. As long as you're safe.
[15:49] ---
    It's not over!
[15:51] ---
    Configuration number 5,
    Standing Still Stab, Blood Stake!
[15:55] ---
    Mode: Killing Machine Masakado!
[16:10] ---
    Oh, darling, Abyss.
[16:13] ---
    Carnival Cooker and the like
    are just no substitute for you.
[16:17] ---
    Yes, Alice. Of course.
[16:20] ---
    Her colleagues... And
    they're cursed tools?!
[16:23] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[16:25] ---
    Although "family" is more
    correct than "colleagues."
[16:28] ---
    I see. This is a grand sight.
[16:32] ---
    Worse and Worse.
[16:35] ---
    You're...
[16:36] ---
    the Research Director Nation's...
[16:39] ---
    Do you know me?
[16:42] ---
    I see now. It seems we had
    better withdraw for now.
[16:46] ---
    Fear in Cube...
[16:48] ---
    Use the remains of Carnival Cooker
    and Suicide Mirror as you see fit.
[16:52] ---
    Though there are devices attached
    that we consider improper.
[16:58] ---
    You mean Indulgence Discs?!
[17:00] ---
    A favor from Alice.
[17:02] ---
    She truly loves you.
[17:05] ---
    You should accept her feelings.
[17:07] ---
    I'll take the Indulgence Discs!
[17:10] ---
    But I refuse her love or whatever!
[17:13] ---
    If you value your life,
    you'll never appear here again!
[17:32] ---
    One... two... Jump!
[17:38] ---
    You jumped too far! Control yourself more!
[17:42] ---
    Let's take it from the top one
    more time. Yachi, if you would...
[17:45] ---
    All right. From the top...
[17:49] ---
    Let's go, Fear-kun. Three, two, one. Go!
[17:53] ---
    I wonder when the President
    had the chance to learn it.
[17:56] ---
    I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
[18:05] ---
    Haru, you pervert!
[18:07] ---
    Last night, too, you were shoving
    that thing into Fea-chi's you-know-what...
[18:16] ---
    Ow! That hurts, Haruaki!
[18:18] ---
    Do it more gently!
[18:21] ---
    I can't help it! Your thing is too tight!
[18:29] ---
    Don't say things like that!
[18:32] ---
    Anyway, what about your shop?
[18:33] ---
    I'm taking a little break.
    I remembered an errand I had to do.
[18:37] ---
    What?
[18:38] ---
    What is it, Kuroe-san?
[18:41] ---
    I forgot before. Here's your pay
    from helping me with the shop.
[18:44] ---
    Thank you for handing out
    fliers and everything.
[18:47] ---
    "Konoha"
[18:47] ---
    "Fear"
[18:52] ---
    Are you sure? I mean,
    after I suspected you, Kuroe...
[18:57] ---
    But you don't doubt me anymore, do you?
[19:02] ---
    In that case, take it.
[19:05] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[19:06] ---
    "Fear"
[19:11] ---
    Look inside.
[19:14] ---
    Oh! A gorgeous glittering thing!
[19:17] ---
    That's 500 yen.
[19:20] ---
    Oh. Then what about Cow Udders'
    boring scrap of paper?
[19:23] ---
    5,000 yen.
[19:26] ---
    Kuroe!
[19:29] ---
    Just kidding. Here's yours, Fea-chi.
[19:30] ---
    "Fear"
[19:34] ---
    You don't have the
    glittery thing, Cow Udders.
[19:36] ---
    In fact, since I have the glittery
    thing and the paper, I win!
[19:41] ---
    Kirika...
[19:43] ---
    What?
[19:44] ---
    Um... I, uh...
[19:46] ---
    You quit that Research
    Director Nation thing, right?
[19:50] ---
    I'm guessing things must
    be rough for you...
[19:53] ---
    S-So...
[19:55] ---
    you can have this!
[19:58] ---
    I can't accept it. After all,
    I quit of my own free will.
[20:01] ---
    Fear-kun, use that money
    on something you want.
[20:14] ---
    Well, it's hot! Don't stare like that!
[20:17] ---
    Now let's get back to practicing!
[20:19] ---
    The President is cracking her "whip"!
[20:22] ---
    Yachi!
[20:23] ---
    Oh, I see. He's interested in that...
[20:26] ---
    Kuroe-kun, you too?! What are you saying?!
[20:28] ---
    Completely ludicrous!
[20:30] ---
    All right, all right. It's time
    to practice! Let's practice!
[20:38] ---
    Flowers bloom again clad
    in colors announcing the season

[20:52] ---
    Nestling close to you like that
[20:56] ---
    "It's delicious!"
[20:58] ---
    I hope I can become happy little by little
[21:01] ---
    "Get well soon!"
    "Keep your chin up!"
[21:08] ---
    Can I fall more and more in love with you?
[21:15] ---
    You are always in my heart
[21:22] ---
    When our feelings come
    together, we change the future

[21:28] ---
    "Beauty Parlor Dannoura"
[21:28] ---
    Even the idea that
    loneliness makes the heart grow fonder

[21:35] ---
    "Festival '11"
[21:35] ---
    If it's the two of us, the two of us
[21:39] ---
    Then I can surely believe it
[21:55] ---
    Hey, Haruaki...
[21:56] ---
    Yeah?
[21:58] ---
    There's something I don't really get...
[22:01] ---
    What's that?
[22:03] ---
    Alice uses people like tools.
[22:07] ---
    There are humans in the Families
[22:09] ---
    who throw away their lives
    as if they were merely tools.
[22:12] ---
    Human-like tools and tool-like humans...
[22:16] ---
    What's the difference?
[22:19] ---
    Are you bothered by that definition?
[22:22] ---
    Yeah. That's why I want to know.
[22:26] ---
    Cow Udders' curse is all but broken.
[22:30] ---
    Kuroe's is already broken.
[22:34] ---
    Mm-hm?
[22:36] ---
    But both of them still have the abilities
    they possessed when they were tools.
[22:40] ---
    Are they humans who were tools?
    Or tools who became human?
[22:47] ---
    Which one?
[22:53] ---
    Good question...
[22:55] ---
    But I don't think it needs an answer.
[23:00] ---
    Konoha and Kuroe are the same as you, Fear.
[23:04] ---
    Whether the curse is broken
    or not, you're the same.
[23:12] ---
    In other words, a simple tool never wonders
[23:17] ---
    whether it's a tool or a human.
[23:27] ---
    I see...
[23:31] ---
    You're right.
