[00:02] Zemunn
    To be honest,
[00:04] ---
    we're having a hard time dealing
    with you, Viscount Remedius.
[00:09] Man
    What are you talking about, Zemunn?
[00:10] Man
    This bastard's company, Rahzel Company,
    is selling Jushiki weapons to Dochetta.
[00:16] Man
    Urmun is suffering because
    of the weapons he invented.
[00:19] Man
    We ought to kill him in the name of Zhuo Lu!
[00:22] Person A
    Yeah!
[00:23] Person B
    Kill him!
[00:25] Zemunn
    Fools!
[00:26] Zemunn
    You've abducted him
    without thinking it through.
[00:28] Zemunn
    Do you want the Dragon Empire against us, too?
[00:31] Person A
    But we can't let him go!
[00:34] Person B
    Yeah.
[00:35] Naricia
    Stop it, Navarro.
[00:37] Naricia
    You too, Najik.
[00:38] Navarro
    Stay out of this, Naricia.
[00:40] Navarro
    We need to avenge our people.
[00:42] Remedius
    Um, with all due respect, that Majouken
    will explode if you fire it.
[00:49] Person A
    Shut your mouth!
[01:01] Remedius
    Dust had gotten into the contact terminal.
[01:05] Remedius
    You need to replace them once every three
    months in a desert area like Urmun.
[01:12] Person C
    Check mine, too!
[01:13] Person D
    Mine, too, please!
[01:16] Remedius
    Hang on. One at a time.
[01:21] Naricia
    See? Remedius is awesome, isn't he?
[01:25] Person A
    Seriously?
[01:26] Person B
    Wow.
SIGN    Invitation to an Evening Party
[01:38] Largonkin
    Yeah.
[01:40] Largonkin
    It's already taken care of.
[01:42] Largonkin
    It's just one after another.
[01:44] Largonkin
    Damn Magatsushiki...
[01:46] ---
    When are they going to stop?
[01:52] Gayus
    Apparently Largonkin's people
[01:54] ---
    made quick work of the Magatsushiki
    that showed up in the subway.
[01:58] Gayus
    What's wrong?
[02:00] Gayus
    Is it about Premelena?
[02:02] Gigina
    I don't care about the girl's life.
[02:05] Gayus
    You're quite cold.
[02:07] Gigina
    I gave that woman death as a Draken warrior.
[02:12] Gigina
    That's all.
[02:17] Calpulnia
    You're on time.
[02:19] Calpulnia
    Excellent.
[02:20] Gayus
    And the person we're negotiating with?
[02:22] Calpulnia
    They're already here, it seems.
[02:27] Gayus
    They're extremely well-prepared.
[02:29] Gayus
    Let's be careful.
[02:31] Gigina
    I know.
[02:33] Gayus
    So these are the faces of the Aurora Hammer,
     the ones who are trying to take down
[02:38] ---
    Urmun's terrible dictator, Dochetta.
[02:41] Zhuo Lu
    Stop there.
[02:44] Zhuo Lu
    Calpulnia herself came, as was agreed.
[02:48] Calpulnia
    Where is Party Leader Zemunn?
[02:51] Zhuo Lu
    He's no longer the party leader.
[02:53] Calpulnia
    Then who do I negotiate with?
[02:57] Zhuo Lu
    You'll negotiate with me.
[02:59] Zhuo Lu
    I'm the leader of the Aurora Hammer.
[03:02] Zhuo Lu
    The organization calls me Zhuo Lu,
    the Man-Eating Dragon of the Sand.
[03:08] Gayus
    Hey, we said we'd be cautious.
[03:11] Gigina
    That man is dangerous.
[03:12] Gigina
    As dangerous as the cardinal's
     Winged Generals.
[03:15] Gigina
    Possibly even more so.
[03:18] Gayus
    Are you serious?
[03:20] Zhuo Lu
    Where is the ransom money?
[03:22] Calpulnia
    We'll see the hostage first.
[03:24] Zhuo Lu
    You ought to show your hand first.
[03:35] Calpulnia
    Now it's your turn.
[03:37] Calpulnia
    Where is my nephew, Remedius?
[03:56] Zhuo Lu
    Then let's begin the exchange.
[03:58] Calpulnia
    Not yet.
[03:59] Calpulnia
    Just based on appearance, I wouldn't be able
    to tell if he were a fake who's had plastic surgery.
[04:04] Egurrd
    Prove it with this.
[04:08] Zhuo Lu
    A Jushiki wavelength identifier?
[04:11] Zhuo Lu
    All right.
[04:17] Machine
    Confirmed match
    with 99.9988 percent certainty.
[04:24] Calpulnia
    Very well.
[04:40] Egurrd
    Shit!
[04:48] Gayus
    Gigina!
[04:57] Gigina
    Is it another force that just showed up?
[04:58] Gayus
    Hell if I know!
[04:59] Gayus
    Just focus on getting out of here!
[05:13] Gayus
    I can't believe a human being could
    produce such a powerful Jushiki barrier.
[05:17] Gayus
    Impossible.
[05:20] Zhuo Lu
    Die.
[05:29] Gayus
    Sixth-order numerical
    quantum Jushiki, Sui Tori.
[05:33] Gayus
    It converts the amino acids throughout
    the body with quantum interference.
[05:37] Gayus
    A demon's Jushiki.
[05:41] Gayus
    We could have been dead if I hadn't
[05:43] ---
    defended us with my Phoenic,
     and you hadn't healed us with your O Se.
[05:48] Gayus
    The Sand Dragon...
[05:50] Gigina
    A ghastly slaughter, as though
    the victims had been chewed up.
[05:55] Calpulnia
    Where's Remedius?
[05:57] Calpulnia
    My nephew?
[05:59] Gayus
    Sadly, I believe it's too late.
[06:04] Gigina
    Either Zhuo Lu or the attackers
    left us with an unwanted gift.
[06:27] (Flashback) Person A
    Drink up, man.
[06:29] (Flashback) Remedius
    Thanks.
[06:31] (Flashback) Remedius
    But I'm still a hostage, am I not?
[06:36] (Flashback) Person B
    I'd like to thank you.
[06:38] (Flashback) Person B
    You saved our lives.
[06:40] (Flashback) Person B
    With our Jushiki weapons, too.
[06:42] (Flashback) Person C
    Mine's in great shape!
[06:44] (Flashback) Person D
    Mine, too!
[06:45] (Flashback) Person E
    Thanks.
[06:46] (Flashback) Remedius
    It's nothing.
[06:47] (Flashback) Remedius
    I just lent a small hand.
[06:50] (Flashback) Person B
    We repay those who save
    our lives with our own.
[06:54] (Flashback) Person B
    Use my life, too, when you need it
[06:58] (Flashback) Person A
    Mine, too.
[07:00] (Flashback) Person A
    In the name of Zhuo Lu!
[07:03] (Flashback) Remedius
    Najik, Navarro...
[07:09] (Flashback) Naricia
    A long time ago, Urmun was under
    the control of a bad king.
[07:15] (Flashback) Naricia
    The people suffered, and cries
    of discontent echoed across the land.
[07:19] (Flashback) Naricia
    The people prayed to God,
    but there was no answer.
[07:23] (Flashback) Naricia
    One woman's husband and children
    were killed by the king.
[07:28] (Flashback) Naricia
    Out of despair, she climbed the
    northern Urmun mountain of Derilla,
[07:32] (Flashback) ---
    known as the Mountains of Hell, in an
    effort to take her own life as well.
[07:36] (Flashback) Naricia
    The woman walked for seven days and nights
[07:39] (Flashback) ---
    through the mountain of death,
    not a blade of grass in sight.
[07:42] (Flashback) Naricia
    Yet she couldn't die.
[07:44] (Flashback) Naricia
    Her wailing echoed through
    the mountains and valleys.
[07:49] (Flashback) Naricia
    When the woman came to,
    she saw the Sand Dragon, Zhuo Lu.
[07:54] (Flashback) Naricia
    The woman begged Zhuo Lu for help.
[07:58] (Flashback) Naricia
    But the dragon had been sealed in the
    mountain for the crime of eating people.
[08:02] (Flashback) Naricia
    It had lost its former powers.
[08:05] (Flashback) Naricia
    The woman said, "Then eat me."
[08:09] (Flashback) Naricia
    "Let my blood and flesh become your dragon
    strength, and defeat the bad king."
[08:14] (Flashback) Naricia
    The woman jumped into the dragon's mouth.
[08:23] (Flashback) Naricia
    The dragon, having regained its strength,
     escaped the mountains,
[08:27] (Flashback) ---
    flew through the deserts,
    and descended on the palace,
[08:30] (Flashback) ---
    where he shredded to death the
    bad king and his henchmen.
[08:34] (Flashback) Naricia
    Zhuo Lu said to the people:
    "Give your flesh and blood,
[08:38] (Flashback) ---
    and I will appear when you need
    to consume the enemies of Urmun."
[08:44] (Flashback) Naricia
    And with a sad howl,
    Zhuo Lu vanished into the distant sky.
[08:49] (Flashback) Naricia
    Now, until it receives blood and flesh again,
[08:56] (Flashback) ---
    the dragon slumbers somewhere
    in Derilla, the Mountains of Hell.
[09:03] (Flashback) Remedius
    That's a sad story.
[09:05] (Flashback) Remedius
    The people were never truly
    saved from their suffering.
[09:09] (Flashback) Person A
    This nation is suffering so much that we'd
    prefer to place our faith in a fairy tale.
[09:15] (Flashback) Person B
    That's why I'll be Zhuo Lu.
[09:19] (Flashback) Person B
    I'll become the dragon that'll
    consume the bad king Dochetta.
[09:25] (Flashback) Person A
    His Highness Dochetta has not
    given a fourth-rank citizen
[09:29] (Flashback) ---
    permission to open a shop here.
[09:32] (Flashback) Person B
    But...
[09:34] (Flashback) Person A
    You insect.
[09:39] (Flashback) Remedius
    That's...
[09:41] (Flashback) Person A
    What the hell are you doing? Run!
[09:43] (Flashback) Remedius
    I was told they would be used
    to maintain peace, and yet...
[09:47] (Flashback) Person A
    A weapon is a weapon!
[09:53] (Flashback) Remedius
    Naricia!
[09:59] (Flashback) Remedius
    Die.
[10:15] Calpulnia
    Yesterday's exchange was a failure.
[10:17] Calpulnia
    The guards are dead, and the enemy
    made off with the two billion yen ransom.
[10:22] Calpulnia
    I lost my nephew, Remedius.
[10:25] Calpulnia
    Who am I to hold accountable for all this?
[10:30] Gayus
    It's true that my partner
    and I had our failings.
[10:35] Gayus
    But our mission was to protect you.
[10:39] Gayus
    I believe we accomplished that.
[10:43] Gayus
    Can you think of who the attackers might
    have been and what their motive was?
[10:47] Calpulnia
    I've got nothing.
[10:49] Calpulnia
    The police investigation at the
    site turned up nothing, too.
[10:53] Calpulnia
    And Egurrd has been missing
    ever since the incident.
[10:57] Gayus
    Do you believe Egurrd was somehow involved?
[11:02] Calpulnia
    I don't know.
[11:09] Gayus
    What's that?
[11:10] Calpulnia
    A chells piece.
[11:12] Calpulnia
    This is the play that won Remedius
    the continental competition.
[11:20] Gayus
    Birds and elephants...
[11:22] Gayus
    Those are some odd pieces.
[11:24] Calpulnia
    Yes.
[11:25] Calpulnia
    This is apparently how it used to be.
[11:28] Calpulnia
    Nowadays, the elephant is a bishop,
[11:30] ---
    and the birds and boats are rooks.
[11:34] Calpulnia
    Come to think of it,
    I've been cruel to that boy.
[11:38] Calpulnia
    I made him give up the game that he
    loved for the sake of the company,
[11:42] ---
    and forced him into research.
[11:44] Calpulnia
    He had such a strong sense of justice.
[11:46] Calpulnia
    To think of how much he suffered
[11:48] ---
    when he learned of how the weapons
    of his invention were being used in Urmun...
[11:57] Calpulnia
    Now, I'd like to make
    one more request of you.
[12:02] Calpulnia
    Track down the Aurora Hammer
[12:04] ---
    and bring home Remedius, no matter what.
[12:08] Calpulnia
    That's the only way you can atone to me.
[12:15] Gayus
    I know it's for the sake of security,
[12:17] ---
    but it's such a pain in the ass that
    they confiscate them before we land.
[12:24] Gigina
    Stand still.
[12:25] Gigina
    Just listen.
[12:28] Gigina
    I sense someone watching us.
[12:30] Gigina
    In the direction of 3:16.
[12:32] Gigina
    Pitch of 6.1 degrees.
[12:34] Gigina
    Approximately 550 merters away.
[12:38] Gayus
    Where?
[12:39] Gigina
    Too late.
[12:40] Gigina
    They're already gone.
[12:42] Gayus
    Who was it?
[12:44] Gayus
    One of my insane stalkers?
[12:47] Gigina
    Distasteful jokes aside, it smells
    the same as the last incident.
[12:55] Gayus
    Mouldeen has nothing to do with this.
[12:58] Gayus
    Let's get Vinnel to hunt down
    the Aurora Hammer.
[13:02] Gigina
    We might have been better off
     turning down this job.
[13:07] Gayus
    It's too late now.
[13:08] Gayus
    We're already a part of this.
[13:16] Gigina
    This is Tarelk.
[13:17] Gigina
    Isn't it magnificent?
[13:20] Gayus
    Magnificently in my way.
[13:22] Gayus
    Also, don't go giving cabinets names.
[13:24] Gigina
    This child has excellent
    storage capabilities.
[13:28] Gigina
    A person could fit in here.
[13:32] Gayus
    Not you, Gigina.
[13:36] Gigina
    Nonsense.
[13:37] Gigina
    My son can do anything.
[13:40] Gigina
    Cabinets store limitless potential.
[13:43] Gayus
    Not happening.
[13:46] Gigina
    Want to bet a hundred yen?
[13:50] Gigina
    How's that?
[13:51] Gigina
    I fit snugly inside.
[13:55] Gayus
    All right, you win.
[14:09] Gayus
    
[14:11] Gigina
    Tarelk, that's enough.
[14:14] Gigina
    Gayus, open up. I'm coming out.
[14:17] Gayus
    Sir, it'll be a hundred yen to leave.
[14:22] Gigina
    How about I make some room
    between your neck and torso?
[14:29] Gayus
    Sure, be my guest.
[14:31] Gayus
    You're free to break out
    of your beloved cabinet, sir.
[14:39] Gigina
    I gave it back.
[14:40] Gigina
    Let me out.
[14:41] Gayus
    Not so fast.
[14:43] Gayus
    It's another thousand yen to open the door.
[14:47] Gayus
    Further, it'll be another
    ten thousand to motivate me.
[14:53] Gigina
    Gayus!
[14:58] Gayus
    Gigina, you're way too
    badass for me right now.
[15:03] Gigina
    You'll pay with your life for the
    tragedy that has befallen Tarelk!
[15:08] ---
    Die!
[15:11] Gayus
    H-Hang on!
[15:18] Gayus
    Largonkin.
[15:20] Gayus
    Yeah...
[15:22] Gayus
    All right.
[15:28] Largonkin
    Ah, glad you made it.
[15:31] Largonkin
    Let me introduce you to our top people.
[15:34] Largonkin
    Iegie.
[15:36] Largonkin
    Jabeira.
[15:38] Largonkin
    They're both 12th-rank.
[15:41] Largonkin
    You know of Vice President Yahkto, don't you?
[15:46] Iegie
    Huh, so this is that sword dancer...
[15:49] Iegie
    Old Man Largonkin,
    is this guy actually that good?
[15:57] Iegie
    I'd expect no less of the Draken warrior race.
[16:00] Iegie
    You're perfectly crazy.
[16:01] Gigina
    Is that all you've got to say,
    inferior Alurian?
[16:08] Jabeira
    Stop it.
[16:13] Jabeira
    Did I surprise you?
[16:15] Jabeira
    Iryu, 12th-order
    electromagnetic optics Jushiki.
[16:20] Jabeira
    Sorry about him.
[16:22] Jabeira
    He's jealous of your title as
    Eridana's top Jushiki swordsman.
[16:28] Jabeira
    By the way, this isn't a
    polite thing to ask, but...
[16:32] Jabeira
    Gayus, are you in a relationship?
[16:35] Gayus
    Y-Yeah, I am.
[16:40] Jabeira
    Damn it, you have a collar on you.
[16:42] Jabeira
    Go get impaled by a stick, you dog!
[16:45] Iegie
    Jabeira's personality changes
    depending on her mood.
[16:49] Iegie
    You'll meet the others soon.
[16:54] Yahkto
    First of all, what is a Magatsushiki?
[16:57] Yahkto
    One theory suggests they're beings
    of information existing in phase.
[17:03] Yahkto
    It's also said that their
    very existence is a Jushiki.
[17:08] Yahkto
    Thus they create their own bodies
[17:13] ---
    by taking in matter of this
    world and rearranging it.
[17:17] Iegie
    Too long.
[17:19] Iegie
    Give us a summary, Yahkto.
[17:21] Yahkto
    The point is that a Magatsushiki is a
    different kind of being from ourselves.
[17:26] Yahkto
    Their minds and motives are
    difficult to comprehend.
[17:30] Gayus
    Is it just me,
[17:32] ---
    or are the Magatsushiki emerging
    closer and closer to the city center?
[17:35] Largonkin
    That's right.
[17:37] Largonkin
    It looks as though there's
    some kind of rule or intent,
[17:40] ---
    but for the time being, it's unknown.
[17:41] Largonkin
    We're still investing this
    and similar incidents.
[17:45] Person A
    Sir, you mustn't.
[17:47] Largonkin
    What's going on?
[17:49] Sarvey
    A-Are you Mr. Largonkin?
[17:54] Sarvey
    I'm Deacon Sarvey.
[17:57] Sarvey
    Th-This is for you.
[18:08] Clown
    This is our gift to you.
[18:11] Clown
    And now for the happy play.
[18:16] Clown
    The second act shall be a tragedy.
[18:32] Gayus
    Deacon Sarvey!
[18:35] Sarvey
    What impiety towards me, the father of death!
[18:43] Gayus
    He's eating his Jushiki power.
[18:48] Gigina
    And he got a promotion from
    deacon to father, too.
[18:51] Largonkin
    All units, fire Fel Fu!
[18:58] Gayus
    That model itself was a Magatsushiki.
[19:01] Gigina
    The father is an attacker,
    and the box protected him.
[19:05] Gigina
    It seems the Magatsushiki are learning
    the art of warfare as well.
[19:11] Largonkin
    Iegie, Jabeira, let's take it down.
[19:14] Jabeira
    All right.
[19:25] Sarvey
    What irreverence!
[19:30] Iegie
    You aren't getting away!
[19:31] Iegie
    Take this!
[19:36] Iegie
    Gaft poison is pretty powerful.
[19:50] Jabeira
    All right, your girl Jabeira's
    going to finish you off.
[20:03] Gayus
    It's over.
[20:08] Clown
    Well, well, what a spectacle.
[20:12] Clown
    Don't get too serious, would you?
[20:17] Clown
    I'm just here to say hi for today.
[20:21] Clown
    Or...
[20:22] Clown
    Have you not spilled enough blood?
[20:30] Iegie
    Pops...
[20:31] Jabeira
    Stop.
[20:34] Largonkin
    You aren't ordinary Magatsushiki, are you?
[20:38] Clown
    Correct!
[20:41] Clown
    I am the grave crawler,
[20:44] ---
    type 498, Viscount Amupura.
[20:50] Janahn
    I'm the weaver of war,
    type 502, Baron Janahn Ghalan.
[20:57] Largonkin
    You're numbered...
[20:59] Largonkin
    You're the rulers of the Magatsushiki,
    the Great Magatsushiki?
[21:02] Clown
    Indeed.
[21:04] Clown
    You lot were chosen to be on the
    board of the evening party.
[21:09] Clown
    You should be honored.
[21:12] Janahn
    Wait, Amupura.
[21:14] Janahn
    See that man's right hand?
[21:18] Clown
    Oh, dear!
