[00:15] ---
Child of Contract...?
[00:17] ---
A Child of Contract...
[00:18] ---
A Child of Contract has finally appeared...
[00:25] ---
We'll protect him until he rises to the throne.
[00:31] ---
We are the members of the revolution
seeking independence for Nil Kamui.
[00:35] ---
Please, use us to your will, Child of Contract.
[00:38] ---
Fugaku...
[00:40] ---
Why did you make me wear the Ryugatou?
[00:43] ---
You knew Kouran would go through the market.
[00:46] ---
Why...?
[00:47] ---
I did not expect this result.
[00:50] ---
But... I have heard your
will to rise as king, and--
[00:53] ---
Why did Mashiro have to die?!
[00:57] ---
You're the one who killed her!
[00:59] ---
He's no Child of Contract!
[01:01] ---
He's... He's just a murderer!
[01:03] ---
He killed my sister, Mashiro!
[01:07] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[01:10] ---
It's a small country.
[01:11] ---
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[01:16] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[01:19] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[01:22] ---
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
[01:26] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[01:29] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
[01:32] ---
Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.
[01:38] ---
Imperial Era 3015, September...
[01:41] ---
Our country was no longer ours.
[03:16] ---
Nil Kamui | Shuka revolution army quarter
[03:24] ---
I-I'm not afraid of any Bounded One.
[03:27] ---
Back in the old days, the likes of you
wouldn't even be able to speak with us!
[03:32] ---
Are you acquainted with Mashiro?
[03:35] ---
You know my sister, Mashiro...?
[03:38] ---
No...
[03:40] ---
She's not actually my real sister, but I really...
[03:44] ---
...liked her?
[03:47] ---
That's not it...
[04:02] ---
How marvelous...
[04:04] ---
My lord's authority makes even
the most mindless of beasts kneel.
[04:09] ---
I thought this place to be
a petty island of little value,
[04:12] ---
but this place is quite... interesting.
[04:15] ---
Mashiro was a shrine maiden
of the Child of Contract?
[04:18] ---
That's what I heard.
[04:20] ---
That means Ibuki was at the castle, too.
[04:23] ---
So why'd he kill Mashiro, then?!
[04:25] ---
Don't the shrine maidens serve the
Imperials who came from the line of kings?
[04:31] ---
Mashiro told me...
[04:34] ---
Long, long ago, Red Dragon made a promise.
[04:37] ---
If the Child of Contract, the king,
made a suitable offering,
[04:41] ---
Red Dragon would lend its blade in return.
[04:43] ---
Offering?
[04:45] ---
A bonded soul.
[04:48] ---
There are a number of interpretations of this,
[04:50] ---
but I think it means to
offer everything to the king.
[04:55] ---
An equivalent exchange of
the life of someone precious
[04:58] ---
for the life of one who may get in the way...
[05:01] ---
What an ingenious scheme.
[05:04] ---
So, you're telling me that Mashiro offered
her soul to Ibuki by her own accord?
[05:09] ---
Mashiro eagerly awaited
the arrival of such a day.
[05:13] ---
But...!
[05:14] ---
But that's wrong...
[05:17] ---
Kai, you heard how Red Dragon went mad
and destroyed villages around the area, right?
[05:24] ---
Are you saying that this is all
because Red Dragon went mad?
[05:27] ---
Kai...
[05:29] ---
What, so you weren't responsible for killing
Mashiro because Red Dragon is insane?!
[05:36] ---
Lord Ibuki.
[05:38] ---
There you are.
[05:41] ---
While this country went
without a king, the council...
[05:41] ---
Nil Kamui | Shuka revolution army quarter
[05:44] ---
...or should I say, the provisional government,
[05:47] ---
along with D'natia and Kouran, usurped us.
[05:50] ---
Now is the time for us to regain this country.
[05:53] ---
Did I really become a Child of Contract?
[05:57] ---
The power you exhibited
to defeat Kouran's general
[06:00] ---
is no doubt the power of Red Dragon.
[06:03] ---
We will move ourselves
somewhere safe tonight.
[06:09] ---
Kouran's reinforcements
should arrive by daybreak.
[06:12] ---
We'll leave at once.
[06:14] ---
Oh, c'mon. That's not going to help me.
[06:17] ---
Who are you?
[06:19] ---
Hey there! We pretty much came from D'natia.
[06:22] ---
What do you mean "pretty much"?
[06:24] ---
You're that...
[06:29] ---
D'natia?!
[06:30] ---
You've got some nerve coming here now!
[06:32] ---
Sir Black Dragon Knight...
[06:35] ---
Yup, I'm Sweallow Clazzvali
of the Black Dragon Knights.
[06:41] ---
My name is Meryl Sherbet.
[06:43] ---
I am an attendant to Sir Sweallow.
[06:46] ---
Black Dragon Knight...
[06:48] ---
A mighty soldier said to have received
[06:50] ---
the power of D'natia's
guardian deity, Black Dragon...
[06:54] ---
I heard there are only thirty like him
out of D'natia's force of 300,000.
[06:58] ---
I can't believe one of them...
[07:00] ---
Hm? "One of them" what?
[07:03] ---
Has the look of an idiot.
[07:05] ---
Whoa... That's gonna hurt me bad, Meryl.
[07:08] ---
So... What is a great person
like you doing here?
[07:11] ---
Come now, you're the great one, Ibuki.
[07:14] ---
You're this country's runner-up for king.
[07:17] ---
By request of Nil Kamui's council,
[07:19] ---
we would like to bring you on as a member
of the expedition for Red Dragon...
[07:23] ---
...or at least that's what I heard.
[07:25] ---
I was selected to be a
member of the expedition, too.
[07:28] ---
Red Dragon... expedition?
[07:33] ---
Nil Kamui | Shuka prison
[07:39] ---
I can't believe you called me at this hour...
[07:41] ---
I am truly sorry for bringing you here.
[07:44] ---
But there was no way we
could let him out of here...
[07:51] ---
Welcome to this filthy prison.
[07:56] ---
It looks like the current rulers
of Nil Kamui are here.
[08:00] ---
I didn't notice you here...
[08:02] ---
Agito... Kouran's forces were
attacked by the revolutionary army.
[08:06] ---
Ah, in town, right?
[08:08] ---
Are you the one who gave the order?
[08:10] ---
Listen carefully...
[08:11] ---
We need to confirm the rumor
of Red Dragon going mad.
[08:16] ---
But moving a country's force will
bring about unwanted confusion.
[08:21] ---
Hence, Kouran...
[08:24] ---
...D'natia...
[08:25] ---
...and the rebel army...
[08:27] ---
Correction... "The revolutionary army."
[08:30] ---
The three countries are to send their elite
to form the expedition for Red Dragon.
[08:35] ---
That was our agreement.
[08:38] ---
In order to bring Ibuki aboard the expedition,
he needed to have his eyes opened a bit.
[08:43] ---
Are you telling me that Kouran and the
revolutionary army were sacrificed for that?
[08:49] ---
That's fine... I'll treat this as if
it was an unfortunate accident.
[08:54] ---
But I won't let you do such a thing again
[08:58] ---
until after the combined
expedition finds Red Dragon...
[09:03] ---
Shuka outskirts | Kouran force's camp site
[09:03] ---
Unfortunate accident?!
[09:05] ---
I could care less about
the combined expedition!
[09:08] ---
Nil Kamui's rebels are the ones
who caused the commotion!
[09:10] ---
When are the reinforcements going to arrive?!
[09:13] ---
Return at once...
[09:15] ---
There's no way I can heed such an order!
[09:17] ---
I will get back the stolen Dragon Eye!
[09:21] ---
Lady Kohkaku.
[09:24] ---
Are you certain that this "Child of Contract"
was the one who killed Kohretsu?
[09:28] ---
Yes, everyone is saying that it
was by the power of Red Dragon.
[09:32] ---
Why would one from the king's
lineage reside at an orphanage?
[09:35] ---
It is true. After all, he came to our stall
a number of times to make purchases.
[09:40] ---
I thank you for your information.
[09:42] ---
Now, please return to us our child
whom you have summoned!
[09:46] ---
Ah, I see.
[09:47] ---
That handsome-looking boy
was your son, was he?
[09:51] ---
But you're too late...
[09:53] ---
What?
[09:54] ---
A special spell of the Kouran
allows one to burn life onto a seal.
[09:59] ---
Your son's life is now a part of me,
to protect me from harm...
[10:06] ---
Mom...
[10:11] ---
And so we really need your
power to find Red Dragon, Ibuki.
[10:19] ---
D'natia and Kouran, who are in
conflict over dominion of this island,
[10:22] ---
forming a combined expedition in goodwill?
[10:25] ---
That's hard to believe.
[10:26] ---
Besides us, I heard that there is a participant
from the revolutionary army as well.
[10:30] ---
That is news to me.
[10:32] ---
In the first place, where is
Kouran's representative?
[10:34] ---
We're supposed to meet up somewhere in
this town, but I haven't met the person yet.
[10:38] ---
They're supposed to have
something like this on them...
[10:41] ---
Huh? Wait a minute.
[10:42] ---
Unlike Kouran, D'natia and
Nil Kamui have always been allies.
[10:47] ---
We're like friends... Right?
[10:49] ---
It seems you've forgotten, so make sure
this gets through that thick skull of yours.
[10:54] ---
D'natia was allied with this island's royal family,
[10:58] ---
but when Kouran's forces invaded Nil Kamui,
[11:01] ---
our country defended only the towns
where our military bases were stationed.
[11:05] ---
Huh? Then what happened to the king?
[11:08] ---
The king was assassinated during the turmoil
with Kouran during the Seven Year War,
[11:12] ---
and as a result, Nil Kamui accepted a treaty
which signified complete surrender.
[11:16] ---
Whoa... That was a terrible
move by our country.
[11:20] ---
Excuse me...
[11:21] ---
...but I...
[11:23] ---
The Kouran force...
[11:25] ---
The Kouran force is laying siege to the town!
[11:29] ---
So, their reinforcements arrived already.
[11:31] ---
No, it's actually the remnant
force from earlier today.
[11:33] ---
If that's all there is,
we can fight them on our own!
[11:38] ---
Please wait!
[11:39] ---
There are children in the town!
[11:43] ---
I'm assuming it's futile to try to stop you...
[11:46] ---
You know, you really are the best
attendant I could have, Meryl.
[11:55] ---
Mashiro...
[11:57] ---
I said horrible things to Ibuki.
[12:00] ---
But...
[12:11] ---
Let the flames dance until they reach
the eyes of this "Child of Contract!"
[12:15] ---
Cry until they reach that one's ears!
[12:19] ---
Bound One | A slave whose body
has been linked to that of a monster.
[12:28] ---
You're unfit for this.
[12:29] ---
Let me go! Who are you?!
[12:31] ---
Ibuki...
[12:33] ---
Yes... I hear he's able to convert the souls
of those precious to him into power.
[12:39] ---
There must be something you can do, too...
[12:42] ---
My... soul?
[12:51] ---
We'll go all out on them!
[12:52] ---
Open the gates!
[12:54] ---
Nah, if you open the gates, everyone will die.
[12:57] ---
What's this about, Black Dragon Knight?
[12:59] ---
Now, now. I think this is about
the only way to gain your trust.
[13:03] ---
Besides, I don't want to see
any children get killed...
[13:07] ---
Right, Meryl?
[13:13] ---
Finally... but only one of them?
[13:16] ---
Hm? He's not one of the rebels.
[13:20] ---
Die!
[13:22] ---
Oh, well...
[13:34] ---
My debt to Meryl's going to increase again.
[13:38] ---
What's with that move?!
[13:40] ---
Who cares? Charge!
[13:44] ---
Guess it can't be helped...
[14:03] ---
What's with his battle style?
[14:06] ---
Any instrument he wields falls apart.
[14:10] ---
That's the curse he was born with.
[14:17] ---
But the moment it falls apart...
[14:19] ---
...that instrument is capable
of exerting all of its power.
[14:26] ---
Now then...
[14:28] ---
I wonder how much he's
planning to waste on this battle.
[14:38] ---
That direction...
[14:40] ---
Could it be...?!
[14:41] ---
Where are you going?
[14:43] ---
Fugaku asked for you to stay here.
[14:46] ---
Eykha, was it?
[14:48] ---
Please...
[14:49] ---
Please?
[14:51] ---
You're saying that to me, a Bounded One?
[14:53] ---
Please...
[14:55] ---
...let me ride on your friend's back.
[15:00] ---
Sure.
[15:06] ---
I knew it!
[15:07] ---
Could everyone still be inside?
[15:08] ---
I'll distract her, so you go on in.
[15:19] ---
Is anyone around...?!
[15:22] ---
Ibuki!
[15:23] ---
Ibuki!
[15:26] ---
Thank goodness! It'll be all right.
[15:29] ---
You came back to save them?
[15:31] ---
Yes... You protected them, didn't you, Kai?
[15:35] ---
Thank you.
[15:51] ---
Bite it to pieces, Val!
[15:53] ---
I hold more than one life!
[16:05] ---
Eykha!
[16:08] ---
This isn't good...
At this rate, we'll all be killed!
[16:12] ---
We need to defeat her.
[16:18] ---
I'll use that power once more...
[16:21] ---
Answer me...
[16:22] ---
...Red Dragon!
[16:37] ---
Imperial...
[16:39] ---
So, you desire the flames I possess?
[16:42] ---
The contract was enacted.
[16:44] ---
You forced the offering from me.
[16:47] ---
A person that was precious to me...!
[16:50] ---
Indeed.
[16:51] ---
If so, bring about that flame once
more and get rid of the enemy!
[16:55] ---
If that is what you desire,
then offer me an equivalent.
[17:00] ---
I already paid for that...!
[17:03] ---
I...
[17:04] ---
One life, one soul... Scales are impartial.
[17:10] ---
One life, one soul?
[17:15] ---
What's with that nonsense?!
[17:16] ---
Ibuki...
[17:18] ---
It's my turn now!
[17:19] ---
What are you saying, Kai?!
[17:21] ---
Red Dragon seeks the soul of
someone you're bonded to, right?
[17:24] ---
Couldn't that also mean
someone who's your friend, Ibuki?
[17:29] ---
What are you...?
[17:30] ---
Kill me, just like you did Mashiro!
[17:33] ---
Then go and beat that monster!
[17:36] ---
Stop it! Please... stop!
[17:39] ---
I killed Mashiro with my own hands.
[17:41] ---
I won't let another...
[17:44] ---
You're a king, right?!
[17:45] ---
You're going to become a king, right?!
[17:47] ---
Are you going to let all of them
die in front of you?!
[17:51] ---
No... I can't...
[17:53] ---
I'm not good enough? Am I not
your friend anymore, Ibuki?!
[17:57] ---
Kai.
[17:58] ---
You're my...
[18:04] ---
Ibuki!
[18:05] ---
I can't believe you can use such a terrifying
move with that cute face of yours.
[18:09] ---
Where is the Dragon Eye?
[18:11] ---
There it is!
[18:17] ---
Out of my way!
[18:23] ---
Kai...! Kai!
[18:25] ---
The equivalent has been received.
[18:28] ---
Red Dragon! What are you saying?!
[18:30] ---
I didn't kill Kai!
[18:32] ---
He has the birthright to be king, yet could
not stop what occurred in front of his eyes.
[18:36] ---
That is called abandonment,
and is akin to murder.
[18:40] ---
Ah... So that's how a dragon sees it.
[18:43] ---
Souls hold that much weight,
and thus are sweet.
[18:47] ---
Indeed, my lord...
[18:50] ---
Thank goodness...
[18:52] ---
Kai...
[18:54] ---
Red Dragon acknowledged...
[18:56] ---
...that I'm still your friend, Ibuki...
[19:01] ---
I said a lot of horrible things to you... Sorry...
[19:04] ---
I was... jealous...
[19:08] ---
...of you and sis...
[19:11] ---
...Mashiro...
[19:16] ---
Do as you desire, Imperial.
[19:21] ---
I couldn't protect him...
[19:23] ---
That's the same as killing him...
[19:26] ---
That's what you want to say,
isn't it, Red Dragon...?
[19:31] ---
He's fused with the Dragon Eye?
[19:33] ---
Steel Form, release!
[19:36] ---
I'll gouge the Dragon Eye from you!
[19:38] ---
Young boy, if you're going to curse anything,
[19:40] ---
curse your misfortune in being
born on this island of savages!
[20:10] ---
In the name of the Child of
Contract and Red Dragon...
[20:15] ---
...perish!
[20:42] ---
Are you sure about this?
[20:44] ---
Yes... I'll join your combined expedition.
[20:50] ---
If I stay here, I'll lose more
of those precious to me...
[20:54] ---
What?
[20:55] ---
I want to meet Red Dragon.
[20:58] ---
And I want to return this power.
[21:03] ---
No... This curse!
[21:07] ---
Got it.
[21:08] ---
Let's go, then.
[21:09] ---
Fugaku, please take care of the children.
[21:23] ---
Ibuki!
[21:34] ---
You're...?
[21:35] ---
Kouran's representative.
[21:37] ---
She's...
[21:43] ---
So we finally meet, Ibuki.
[21:45] ---
Will you be my friend?
[21:50] ---

[23:31] ---
Act 3

Act 3: "Three as One."
[23:35] ---
The motive behind the three countries
seeking the dragon dyes Ibuki's life in black.
[23:41] ---
And now, the final player
takes a seat at the table.
