**[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] ---**
m 0 0 s 100 0 100 100 0 100 c
**[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.
**[23:37] ---**
Next Time: The Man Who Stops Time.
**[23:37] ---**
The Man Who Stops Time
