[00:02] ---
    No matter how many Knocker-ups come,
     fate cannot be changed.
[00:09] ---
    Shibuya is the chosen land,
[00:13] ---
    purified by the blood shed by the Desaria.
[00:16] ---
    We must make them manifest.
[02:09] ---
    Hurry! The Traumerei's
    about to become a Desaria!
[02:14] ---
    There!
[02:20] ---
    Wait up!
[02:22] ---
    What are you doing? Hurry up!
[02:24] ---
    Wait up! Jeez!
[02:27] ---
    C'mon, the Traumerei's appeared!
[02:29] ---
    Ah! Oda-kun, in front of you!
[02:35] ---
    Oopsy.
[02:36] ---
    That looked painful.
[02:38] ---
    Later, alligator!
[02:43] ---
    Wait up, you two!
[02:54] ---
    They left me behind, damn it...
[03:00] ---
    Hurry up already! Move it!
[03:14] ---
    So damn slow!
[03:16] ---
    Wait!
[03:20] ---
    Come on, Eru.
[03:22] ---
    Go use a different one!
[03:23] ---
    This one's the fastest, right?
[03:33] ---
    It's so slow!
[03:36] ---
    It's fine.
[03:48] ---
    What the...
[03:54] ---
    What's going on?
[03:59] ---
    We're stuck!
[04:01] ---
    Hey, can you hear me?
[04:04] ---
    Say something! Can't you hear me?
[04:10] ---
    You stupid...
[04:13] ---
    Um...
[04:13] ---
    Shut up!
[04:16] ---
    Hey.
[04:18] ---
    You're wasting your time.
[04:22] ---
    It looks like there's no signal or Wi-Fi.
[04:27] ---
    Damn it!
[04:30] ---
    Hey, can't anybody hear me?!
[04:33] ---
    Hey!
[04:36] ---
    Hey! Anybody!
[04:37] ---
    Eru...
[04:43] ---
    Damn it all!
[04:53] ---
    Hey.
[04:54] ---
    Now what?
[04:57] ---
    It's dangerous to open the
    door of a stuck elevator.
[05:00] ---
    Why?
[05:02] ---
    What do you think will
    happen if you open the door,
[05:05] ---
    and the elevator starts moving
     the instant you step out?
[05:11] ---
    Then, inspection hatch it is.
[05:13] ---
    I wouldn't recommend that, either.
[05:15] ---
    You see it a lot in action movies,
[05:18] ---
    but the odds of us stopping in
     just the right spot are low.
[05:21] ---
    So what do we do?!
[05:24] ---
    We keep calm and wait for help to
     come or for it to start moving again.
[05:30] ---
    I can't keep calm!
[05:32] ---
    The Traumerei's appeared!
[05:34] ---
    Even if it has, this is all
     we can do right now.
[05:40] ---
    I can't just sit here!
[05:45] ---
    Help us! Isn't anybody there?!
[05:48] ---
    Hello?
[05:49] ---
    Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?!
[05:53] ---
    Hello?!
[05:57] ---
    Damn it.
[06:07] ---
    Bet you're glad this stuff
    doesn't happen on the island.
[06:10] ---
    We have elevators, you know?
[06:12] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[06:14] ---
    Just because we live on an island doesn't
     mean we're stuck in prehistoric times.
[06:19] ---
    We have Wi-Fi and cell phones.
     It's a normal place.
[06:23] ---
    And you wanted to brag that you'd noticed
     it was all down before "the Tokyoite," huh?
[06:27] ---
    Let's sit down.
[06:28] ---
    Okay.
[06:33] ---
    Hey, don't ignore me.
[06:35] ---
    Are you okay?
[06:37] ---
    Hey! Say something!
[06:39] ---
    My guess is the Dreamer offered up
    their wish and a Desaria appeared.
[06:45] ---
    Well, that'd be the obvious conclusion...
[06:48] ---
    The Desaria probably swallowed
    up the electronics network
[06:51] ---
    and cell phone base
    relay stations around here.
[06:53] ---
    Is that why?
[06:56] ---
    Are you cold?
[06:57] ---
    No.
[07:05] ---
    Is your island really that great?
[07:07] ---
    I don't know how you'd feel
     about it, but I like it.
[07:12] ---
    What's so good about it?
[07:13] ---
    There's a lot of nature around.
[07:16] ---
    Yup, everyone says that!
[07:19] ---
    The people are nice, too.
[07:20] ---
    Everyone says that, too!
[07:22] ---
    Everyone from the countryside always says
    the same things when they come to Tokyo.
[07:28] ---
    I lived in Tokyo up until recently.
[07:32] ---
    I grew up on the island and
    lived there until I was 10.
[07:41] ---
    Then I moved to Tokyo for
    reasons concerning my father.
[07:46] ---
    So I've spent a lot of time in Tokyo.
[07:48] ---
    So shut up about the island already.
[07:51] ---
    I couldn't make friends in Tokyo.
[07:54] ---
    There are places in your memories
    that were important to you, right?
[07:57] ---
    Like the Children's Castle,
    or the Tokyo Children's Center.
[08:02] ---
    Both are gone now.
[08:05] ---
    If they were still there, wouldn't
    you consider them your "home"?
[08:11] ---
    That's what the island is to me.
[08:14] ---
    The places where we played
    as kids are still there.
[08:18] ---
    For me, the island is my home.
[08:23] ---
    My brother used to take me to
    the Children's Center all the time.
[08:28] ---
    I remember that much, but I really
    don't remember what it was like.
[08:33] ---
    It's gone.
[08:35] ---
    Tokyo changes so fast.
[08:39] ---
    You don't have time to remember.
[08:41] ---
    Everything just gets washed away.
[08:44] ---
    "The water in the river is
    ever-flowing, and ever-changing."
[08:52] ---
    "And the bubbles in the still places..."
[08:54] ---
    "...some form, some disappear,
    but none ever remain for long."
[09:02] ---
    Stop!
[09:04] ---
    You just made me remember the face of
    Mr. Yoshitatsu, my classical Japanese teacher.

[09:07] ---
    Kamo no Choumei's
    Record
    of a Hut
[09:07] ---
    Record of a Hut.
[09:12] ---
    There are a lot of weird
    legends on the island.
[09:17] ---
    Like what?
[09:20] ---
    For example, the dead coming back... to life.
[09:24] ---
    Coming back to life?
[09:26] ---
    Like zombies, you mean?
[09:28] ---
    No. A little different from that.
[09:33] ---
    Once upon a time, there was a village
    chieftain whose 16-year-old daughter died.
[09:41] ---
    The chieftain was very sad, but then he
    remembered the tale of the Death God Sutra.
[09:48] ---
    Wh-What the heck is a "Death God Sutra"?
[09:52] ---
    I don't know either, but...
[09:56] ---
    The Grim Reaper is a god, too,
    so you can make offerings to him.
[10:01] ---
    So the chieftain laid out a
    feast in front of his mansion...
[10:06] ---
    and an Oni appeared.
[10:11] ---
    The Oni tried to get inside the house.
[10:15] ---
    "I accepted the teachings of the Death
    God Sutra, so save my daughter's life!"
[10:20] ---
    ...is what the chieftain said.
[10:23] ---
    The Oni didn't know what to do.
[10:25] ---
    "I must take the soul of a
    16-year-old girl back with me."
[10:30] ---
    "Is there anyone who can take her place?"
[10:33] ---
    "Yes, there is! There is!"
[10:35] ---
    "There's a girl next door
    who's turning 16 this year!"
[10:40] ---
    The Oni took out a blood-red nail,
[10:43] ---
    and thrust it into her forehead.
[10:53] ---
    And so, the girl next door
     died in place of her,
[10:56] ---
    and the chieftain's
    daughter came back to life.
[10:59] ---
    That's the story.
[11:03] ---
    And then, the Lord of Hell found out
    and brought that girl right back, yeah?
[11:09] ---
    No.
[11:11] ---
    The chieftain's daughter lived
    to be almost a hundred, they say.
[11:17] ---
    Your island's one scary place...
[11:20] ---
    I feel really bad for that poor girl who died.
[11:23] ---
    Yeah.
[11:24] ---
    That's why, moved by her fate,
    the villagers made a grave for her.
[11:31] ---
    It's known as Kazuha's Grave.
[11:48] ---
    Where are Jessica and Aruto?
[11:49] ---
    Fighting another Weird, I think.
[11:55] ---
    There are two of them?
[11:59] ---
    Why am I the only one taking the blame?
[12:02] ---
    He was really disgusting, you know!
[12:32] ---
    Damn it! They're working hard out there,
    and there's nothing we can do to help!
[12:41] ---
    Is somebody there?!
[12:43] ---
    The elevator is currently stopped.
[12:47] ---
    Please remain calm and
    wait for help to arrive.
[12:52] ---
    I repeat.
[12:53] ---
    The elevator is—
[12:56] ---
    Screw you!
[13:04] ---
    At least we can see each other's faces now.
[13:09] ---
    The base relay stations still
     aren't back online, though.
[13:14] ---
    How far did I get?
[13:16] ---
    You told us that a girl was killed who
     coincidentally had the same name.
[13:21] ---
    It's way more than just coincidence, isn't it?
[13:25] ---
    Kazuha's Grave might still be there,
    but that story's hundreds of years old.
[13:31] ---
    And there's one big difference.
[13:35] ---
    The Kazuha in the story died
     in place of someone else.
[13:37] ---
    But the Kazuha you knew
    was born to be a sacrifice.
[13:41] ---
    What if she was sacrificed
    in place of someone else?
[13:47] ---
    Um, what I'm saying is...
[13:50] ---
    The Kazuha on the island died in
    place of the chieftain's daughter, right?
[13:55] ---
    And then, the soul of his daughter, um...
[13:58] ---
    Um, uh... Huh?
[14:06] ---
    Basically, somebody was about to die,
[14:10] ---
    and Kazuha was born to take
    her place. That's what I mean.
[14:15] ---
    Let's say this "somebody" was part
    of the Church or wherever else...
[14:22] ---
    If Kazuha ran away with her father,
[14:25] ---
    what happened to that person?
[14:28] ---
    Is that what you're asking?
[14:31] ---
    If she was meant to take somebody's place,
    they'd be in trouble if Kazuha disappeared.
[14:36] ---
    Did they make a second or a third hybrid?
[14:39] ---
    Or... something else?
[14:54] ---
    The whole internet thinks I was
    the one who directed the pile-on!
[14:58] ---
    My sister's fiancé broke it off with her,
[15:00] ---
    and my mom's in the hospital
    after she had a heart attack!
[15:07] ---
    But that girl killed herself
    because you bullied her, didn't she?!
[15:11] ---
    I apologized!
[15:17] ---
    I realized what I did was wrong!
[15:19] ---
    Isn't that good enough?!
[15:21] ---
    You don't have any rights even if you repent?
[15:25] ---
    I can understand the family blaming me.
[15:27] ---
    But I don't understand why people who have
     nothing to do with it are blaming me!
[15:32] ---
    They think their shit doesn't stink...
[15:34] ---
    They're just a bunch of bored old geezers...
[15:37] ---
    Leave me alone!
[15:46] ---
    Do you know what the mark is?
[15:49] ---
    Of course I don't!
[15:53] ---
    I had a brother.
[15:55] ---
    But he was killed right in front of me.
[16:00] ---
    He drew that mark in his blood.
[16:04] ---
    It's the same one that's on their foreheads.
[16:09] ---
    I want to know what it means!
[16:13] ---
    There's an ancient scroll on the island
    called the Drama of Houraiji Temple.
[16:16] ---
    It bears the same mark.
[16:20] ---
    There was a skull in the temple
    that was not of man nor beast,
[16:24] ---
    and the mark was carved into it.
[16:28] ---
    It was older, supposedly.
[16:31] ---
    It's in Desgo, too.
[16:34] ---
    D-Desgo?
[16:35] ---
    A cave fresco discovered in Desgo, Spain.
[16:39] ---
    It dates back to the prehistoric era,
    between 50,000 and 25,000 years ago.
[16:42] ---
    And the same mark appears there.
[16:45] ---
    It's that old?
[16:47] ---
    Tris also spoke of a race that
    ruled the Earth before humans.
[16:52] ---
    The Evil Ones.
[16:57] ---
    Their rule came to an end,
[17:00] ---
    and we either forgot them,
    or pretended they never existed.
[17:05] ---
    Pretended they never existed? What?
[17:08] ---
    Our ancestors were traumatized.
[17:11] ---
    It's natural they'd want to avert their eyes.
[17:14] ---
    And the mark is some kind of remnant?
[17:16] ---
    Their symbol, probably.
[17:18] ---
    So bringing back these evil guys
     is the Church's goal, right?
[17:22] ---
    Destroying the world.
    That's their real final goal.
[17:28] ---
    Then, why'd they kill my brother?!
[17:31] ---
    That... I don't know.
[17:35] ---
    What was your brother like?
[17:42] ---
    His name was Junpei. Junpei Oda.
[17:46] ---
    Strong. Super smart.
[17:51] ---
    Kind...
[17:54] ---
    He had no connection to them at all.
[17:58] ---
    Did he read a lot?
[18:00] ---
    Really complicated stuff. Academic papers.
[18:04] ---
    Maybe... he was too smart.
[18:09] ---
    That mark is very old.
[18:12] ---
    Perhaps he read records that told him
     about the existence of the Church.
[18:17] ---
    And that's why he was killed?
[18:20] ---
    He was really jumpy before he died.
[18:23] ---
    Even little sounds spooked him.
[18:26] ---
    What made him so scared?
[18:28] ---
    Are the books he read still around?
[18:31] ---
    Yeah.
[18:32] ---
    We might find a clue in them.
[18:34] ---
    A clue?
[18:40] ---
    Useless, scummy old geezers!
[18:45] ---
    They're just using me to make
    their own lives seem less shitty!
[18:50] ---
    I just want them all to die!
[18:58] ---
    That's awful!
[19:00] ---
    None of that justifies killing them!
[19:02] ---
    Shut up!
[19:07] ---
    All those old geezers who
    mocked me... I'm going to...
[19:12] ---
    You don't have the right!
[19:14] ---
    Die!
[19:21] ---
    Eri!
[19:35] ---
    Eri!
[19:40] ---
    Die! Die! Die! Die!
[19:45] ---
    Nobody deserves to die!
[19:56] ---
    Damn it... I'm not dying here!
[20:04] ---
    Wait, does that mean...
[20:09] ---
    Thank goodness. It's moving again.
[20:15] ---
    There weren't two Weirds.
    It was one Weird split in two.
[20:22] ---
    Oh, you finally made it, huh?
[20:24] ---
    It wasn't our fault!
[20:25] ---
    We got stuck in the elevator.
[20:28] ---
    Right, Rando?
[20:31] ---
    You're calling him by his first name?
[20:33] ---
    What happened?
[20:39] ---
    It's the same mark that appears
     on the victims on the island.
[20:42] ---
    You can supposedly see it
    in a cave fresco in Desgo.
[20:45] ---
    Desgo?
[20:47] ---
    In prehistoric frescos?
[20:49] ---
    More importantly, Rando...
[20:51] ---
    You said this stuff in Shibuya is linked
     to what's happening on the island, yeah?
[20:56] ---
    In that case, will you fight alongside us?
[21:04] ---
    Sorry.
[21:05] ---
    I'd like to, but...
[21:07] ---
    You're worried about the island?
[21:11] ---
    Oh, well.
[21:12] ---
    I'd say the same thing in your place.
[21:19] ---
    Thanks.
[21:20] ---
    You're the first friend I've made in Tokyo.
[21:32] ---
    I'm so happy...
[21:34] ---
    Two Knocker-ups coming to
    an understanding. It's beautiful!
[21:40] ---
    L-Listen, you...
[21:42] ---
    This kind of stuff...
[21:46] ---
    ...is your job to explain!
[23:25] ---
    Next Time
[23:25] ---
    Time keeps passing by.
[23:27] ---
    The fun times pass by quickly.
[23:29] ---
    Everyone wishes they'd last forever.
[23:32] ---
    But someday, they'll end.
[23:35] ---
    They always end.
