[00:54] Commander     The main subjugation unit is here! [00:57] Commander     And he's with them! [01:01] Soldier 3     The church's secret weapon, a mighty     veteran of many brushes with death... [01:13] Soldier 3     The Calamity Crusher. [01:23] Soldier 3     Shagrua Edith Lugrid. [01:42] Priest 1     This labyrinth is still growing. [01:46] Priest 1     That mad corpse called the dead to it [01:49] Priest 1     until they finally spilled over      into the outside world. [01:52] Priest 1     It's the work of that peerless necromancer, [01:54] Priest 1     the Corpse God! [03:13] Commander     Oh, God. [03:51] Priest 2     What mighty sorcery! [03:53] Priest 2     Unless we crush him here,     corpses will consume the world. [03:57] Priest 2     Yet... [03:59] Priest 2     can even Sir Shagrua, the Calamity Crusher, vanquish such a fiend? [04:05] Recuria     Have no fear. [04:31] Recuria     Sir Shagrua will not fail. [04:33] Recuria     He would never succumb to death. [04:46] Spirit of the dead (M)     It's your fault I died. [04:51] Spirit of the dead (M)     It's your fault we all died. [04:54] Spirit of the dead (M)     Why do you, alone, still live? [05:06] Spirit of the dead (M) 2     Die, like we did. [05:08] Spirit of the dead (M) 3     Die. Suffer. [05:09] Spirit of the dead (M) 4     Squirm. Weep. [05:10] Spirit of the dead (M) 5     Cry. Wail. [05:38] Shagrua     I can see [05:39] Shagrua     all the souls you've sacrificed! [05:43] Corpse God     So, you have the Evil Eye. [05:45] Priest 2     The Evil Eye? [05:46] Priest 1     He was born with the power to see shades. [05:49] Priest 1     He can see the ghosts of every     bandit and monster he's killed— [05:53] Priest 1     maybe even the birds and the bugs. [05:56] Priest 1     Most bearers of the Evil Eye flee to the     bosom of the church for their whole lives [06:01] Priest 1     or take joy in toying with those ghosts and     become necromancers like the Corpse God. [06:27] Priest 1     Yet Sir Shagrua still chose to fight     for us on the field of battle. [06:56] Shagrua     So that's... [06:59] Shagrua     your true form! [07:02] Shagrua     To guard that trifling thing, you... [07:04] Corpse God     To me, all lives are but playthings. [07:07] Shagrua     Do you think you're a god,     like the Grim Reaper?! [07:10] Corpse God     Gods do not play games. [07:12] Corpse God     Not like you and I do, with our Evil Eyes. [07:16] Corpse God     Do you not delight [07:19] Corpse God     in the resentful wails from the     souls of those you've killed? [07:27] Shagrua     I'm not like you! [07:29] Shagrua     You should have died long ago, monster! [07:32] Corpse God     As you and I strive, indiscriminately,      to kill one another, [07:40] Corpse God     we play at being the Grim Reaper,      building our piles of corpses. [07:45] Corpse God     But "play" is all it is. [07:48] Shagrua     What are these sigils? [07:50] Shagrua     I don't recognize this spell! [07:52] Corpse God     Let us finish this. [07:55] Corpse God     My game with you ends here. [07:58] Shagrua     Think again! [08:01] Shagrua     As long as you exist, [08:03] Shagrua     this land [08:05] Shagrua     and its children [08:07] Shagrua     have no future! [08:09] Recuria     I'll support you! [08:32] Recuria     Sir Shagrua! [08:44] Polka     My memory... is hazy. [08:48] Polka     Oh, that's right. That spell then... [08:53] Polka     Did it activate? [09:00] Polka     Where am I? [09:08] Polka     I can move. [09:11] Polka     But why do I have these frail arms? [09:19] Polka     I have difficulty speaking. [09:24] Polka     Both the walls and floor seem strange. [10:00] Polka     What is this city?! [10:13] Takumi     Whoa, whoa, whoa! [10:15] Takumi     Wait! Hold on! [10:18] Takumi     Is this for real?! [10:20] Takumi     Have I finally lost it? SIGN    Contacts [10:27] Takumi     It's me. Cancel the retrieval. [10:30] Takumi     His body's not in the alley anymore. [10:33] Takumi     I mean, he's still alive. [10:35] Retriever Captain     What do you mean?     Did the hit fail or something? [10:38] Takumi     No, I confirmed the kill. [10:41] Takumi     Anyway, just stand by. [10:44] Takumi     How the hell [10:46] Takumi     is he walking around like     normal with a slit throat? [10:50] Polka     I don't understand it. [10:53] Polka     I've never seen such architecture. [10:56] Polka     Nor such writing. [11:00] Polka     Is that a projection spell?     But I sense no magic at work. SIGN    Ryouma Kannagi SIGN    Brand-New Rendezvous [11:07] Polka     Where in the world am I? SIGN    Shinjuku Station SIGN    Shinjuku Station [11:14] Polka     Still, just look at these people. [11:18] Polka     The children look healthy.     They smile with delight. [11:23] Polka     This must be a peaceful land. [11:32] Polka     What will become of that country? [11:36] Polka     I don't know if I can ever return,     but I hope it at least has a future. [11:42] Cop 1     Rkphfr zr. Qb lbh unir n zbzrag?

[12:02] Polka     Am I pulling linguistic information     from this body's brain? [12:06] Cop 2     That blood on your shirt's     not a design, is it? [12:10] Cop 1     Are you okay? Can you say your own name? [12:15] Polka     Y-Yes. [12:17] Polka     So, this is... "Japanese." [12:21] Polka     This body's name is... Polka Shinoyama. [12:26] Cop 2     Think he's some foreign tourist's kid? [12:28] Cop 1     Hey! [12:29] Cop 1     You've got a serious neck injury! [12:31] Cop 1     It looks like the bleeding has stopped, [12:33] Cop 1     but you need immediate medical— [12:40] Misaki     Thank goodness! You're all right. [12:43] Polka     Who are you? [12:45] Misaki     The cops are a pain, huh? [12:47] Misaki     First off, let's scram! [12:48] Polka     Huh? Wai— [12:49] Cop 2     Hey! Stop right there! [12:53] Iwanome     Hm? [12:54] Arase     Do you think something's up, Iwa-san? [12:55] Cop 2     Hold it! [12:58] Iwanome     Anything can happen here     in Shinjuku. Right, Arase? [13:04] Arase     You've got a point. [13:07] Iwanome     Now, let's head back. [13:09] Arase     Sure. [13:23] Misaki     Looks like we made a clean getaway! [13:25] Misaki     Hey, so, do you remember me? [13:28] Misaki     I'm Misaki Sakimiya. That's Ayimikas     Ikasim if you read it backwards! [13:33] Polka     Why would you want to read it backwards? [13:39] Polka     Memories of this woman are     coming to me, little by little. [13:45] Polka     Oh, she's smiling. [13:47] Polka     She must know this body's owner. [13:56] Polka     Um... What are you doing? [13:58] Misaki     Giving you a physical. [14:00] Polka     What's a physical? [14:05] Polka     Whoa! [14:08] Misaki     Okay, you're warm, [14:10] Misaki     and you've got feet. [14:11] Misaki     Don't worry! You're not a ghost! [14:15] Misaki     You're alive and kicking! Isn't that great?! [14:19] Polka     Um... Thank you? [14:21] Misaki     Oh, don't thank me! [14:25] Polka     No, I owe y— [14:26] Misaki     I mean, I'm about to... [14:33] Misaki     kill you again. [14:37] Polka     Excuse me? [14:38] Misaki     Hey, I jammed this through     your throat earlier, [14:43] Misaki     so how come you're still alive? [14:48] Polka     Things couldn't be worse! [14:52] Polka     This woman... [14:55] Polka     is this body's killer! [15:01] Takumi     Polka Shinoyama, huh? [15:04] Takumi     Only 16 years old and someone     paid for a hit on him. [15:08] Takumi     What the hell is Misaki's client thinking? [15:13] Takumi     Well, you'd better stay dead this time. [15:16] Takumi     Otherwise, us retrievers don't get paid. [15:24] Polka     It's hopeless. Just running     away takes all my strength. [15:27] Polka     But what is this land?!     I can hardly sense the spirits! [15:33] Polka     There are so few magical     elements in the air! [15:35] Polka     And this body has almost     no magic to speak of! [15:38] Polka     I can't even cure a fresh wound like this! [15:41] Polka     What should I do? [15:44] Polka     I barely understand why this is happening. [15:49] Polka     Yet if I sustain one fatal     wound, I'll die for— [15:52] Misaki     Hi there! [15:54] Misaki     Time's up on this game of tag. [16:04] Misaki     Oh, wow! [16:06] Misaki     No one's ever dodged that well before! [16:09] Misaki     I think... I might be a little turned on! [16:21] Polka     I can react, but this body can't keep up. [16:26] Polka     This is no laughing matter. [16:28] Polka     Clues to the world I've longed     for are right before my eyes! [16:43] Polka     Back then, I failed to grasp it. [16:48] Polka     After coming this far... [16:51] Polka     I can't just let go! [16:58] Misaki     Wow. [17:01] Misaki     Incredible. [17:03] Misaki     I've killed plenty of gangsters and hit men, [17:07] Misaki     but I've never felt intimidated before. [17:10] Misaki     I might fall for you if I'm not careful! [17:30] Polka     What is this place? [17:31] Misaki     This building's famous in my line of work. [17:38] Misaki     They say the yakuza used it as     a big-time execution ground. [17:43] Misaki     It's just incredible how     you can dissolve people! [17:46] Misaki     Isn't science great?! [17:48] Misaki     And guess what! [17:50] Misaki     Rumor has it ghosts and     gangsters haunt this place, [17:54] Misaki     so people steer clear of it. [17:57] Misaki     The yakuza's one thing, but ghosts? Wow! [18:00] Misaki     Isn't the occult great?! [18:04] Polka     Yes, I believe you're right. [18:08] Polka     Even with this body's eyes,     I can see them clearly. [18:14] Polka     Perhaps those who used this place were     too careless with the lives of others. [18:20] Polka     I see. Since I can still     see ghosts with this body, [18:25] Polka     then, as I thought, [18:27] Polka     the Evil Eye is a power of the     soul, not the eyes and brain. [18:31] Misaki     What's that you said? [18:33] Misaki     Are you one of those people who     goes on and on about respecting life? [18:36] Polka     I suppose. [18:38] Polka     You ought to treat lives     with greater care as well. [18:42] Misaki     You said it! [18:43] Misaki     A human life outweighs the Earth!     Twenty-one grams, right? [18:48] Misaki     So this time, I'll get every last gram. [18:52] Misaki     I'll be ever so careful... [18:58] Misaki     when I kill you! [19:01] Polka     Don't handle a life so lightly. [19:05] Polka     All lives... [19:13] Polka     are my playthings. [19:22] Polka     Do not waste them. [19:30] Takumi     Huh? [19:32] Recuria     Is something wrong? [19:34] Shagrua     No, but I don't feel certain     that my job is done. [19:38] Recuria     What do you mean? [19:41] Recuria     You've done your title of     Calamity Crusher proud, [19:45] Recuria     Sir Shagrua. [19:48] Shagrua     In that last moment,     when my sword struck him, [19:51] Shagrua     I know his spell took effect. [19:55] Shagrua     It seemed reminiscent of teleportation magic. [20:00] Shagrua     I could see his soul with my Evil Eye,     but it vanished all too quickly. [20:07] Shagrua     Did I truly succeed in slaying     that necromancer, the Corpse God? [20:13] Recuria     The church observation unit     sent a report earlier. [20:16] Recuria     All traces of the Corpse God's soul     have vanished from this world. [20:22] Recuria     You saved the world, Sir Shagrua. [20:27] Shagrua     I certainly hope so. [20:31] Polka     Ah. The fog has lifted from my mind. [20:35] Polka     Magic fills me. [20:38] Polka     At last, I can think clearly. [20:42] Polka     Misaki-chan, right? [20:44] Polka     I don't know why you tried to     kill this body—Polka Shinoyama. [20:50] Polka     But I do owe you my thanks after all. [20:55] Polka     Thank you... [20:57] Polka     for bringing me to a place     so full of magical power. [21:02] Polka     Here, I may be able to obtain... [21:06] Polka     a peaceful life. [21:09] Polka     You're right. The time     for playing tag is over. [21:13] Polka     I'm through with running. [21:15] Polka     From now on, we'll play at being the     Grim Reaper—a game of killing. [22:56] Polka     Now, let us continue, [23:01] Polka     my charming assassin! [23:06] Polka     You can't pretend to be asleep forever. [23:31] Polka     She's... dead?!

[00:01] [SONG] Text     I desired peace [00:03] Corpse God     Those born with the Evil Eye, able to see     shades, cannot hope for a peaceful life. [00:11] Corpse God     After my parents sold me     to the court sorcerers, [00:14] Corpse God     I strode the battlefield as a necromancer. [00:20] Corpse God     Until the empire fell, in fact.     Though all that time... [00:25] Corpse God     I always, always... [00:31] Corpse God     wished to live quietly. [00:34] Corpse God     I desired peace. [00:49] Corpse God     I didn't care if it was false [00:53] Corpse God     or if I was playing make-believe. [00:56] Corpse God     I simply longed for the peaceful     life I could only dimly recall. [01:06] Corpse God     Peace. [01:08] Corpse God     I wanted peace. [01:16] Corpse God     That was all. And yet... [01:20] (Flashback) Priest     They are defiled. [01:22] (Flashback) Priest     Annihilate their souls! [01:24] (Flashback) Priest     Let not the necromancer     enslave their spirits! [01:28] (Flashback) Cult troops     Save them! Save them! [01:31] (Flashback) Cult troops     Save these impure children! [01:42] Corpse God     The more I sought it,     the more distant it became. [01:46] Corpse God     I initiated my vengeance then and there, [01:49] Corpse God     played out over the course of a century. [01:52] (Flashback) Cult soldier     We were wrong! Please, save us! [01:56] (Flashback) Cult troops     Save us! Save us! [01:59] (Flashback) Cult troops     Save our miserable souls! [02:02] (Flashback) Cult troops     Please, just kill us already! [02:06] Corpse God     Soon, my abandoned coal mine was     a labyrinth crawling with corpses. [02:11] Corpse God     Perhaps the soldiers' screams and     my dark magic attracted them. [02:18] Corpse God     Even so, I desired peace. [02:23] Corpse God     So I waited for decades, then centuries. [02:28] Corpse God     I could no longer die a     natural death, so I awaited [02:31] Corpse God     the coming of one who could slay me. [02:34] Corpse God     And my secret art of reincarnation succeeded. [02:39] Polka     That's why I can't let myself die here,     when I don't even know what's happening! [02:48] Polka     She went down so easily?     It was just one stab through the gut! [02:52] Polka     Doesn't she have a healing potion?!     Or an item imbued with curative spells?! [02:59] Polka     This is awful. [03:00] Polka     I killed her before I could     even ask what continent I'm on. [03:06] Polka     No, ensuring my safety comes first. [03:10] Polka     I can't even prove I was defending     myself from an assassin. [03:14] Polka     I can't lead a peaceful life if I'm     on the run from the city watch! [03:19] Polka     Wait! [03:21] Polka     I said, "Now, let us continue," to a corpse! [05:02] Takumi     Argh! [05:05] Takumi     Has my brain seriously blown a fuse? [05:10] Clarissa     Hello. [05:11] Clarissa     I'm surprised you're taking so long.     Did you run into more trouble? [05:15] Takumi     Hey, Clarissa. [05:17] Takumi     Forget trouble,     this is a total system crash. [05:20] Takumi     I'll send you the video file now. [05:22] Clarissa     Video of what? [05:23] Takumi     Watch it, and you tell me. [05:27] Takumi     Have I gone nuts, or has Shinjuku? [05:34] (Flashback) Mother     Misaki? [05:36] (Flashback) Mother     Misaki? [05:42] (Flashback) Father     Misaki's so cute. [05:44] (Flashback) Mother     She sure smiles a lot, doesn't she? [05:47] (Flashback) Father     There's nothing wrong with smiling. [05:49] (Flashback) Mother     I'm sure your smile will make people happy. [05:53] (Flashback) Mother     Find your happiness with everyone... [05:57] (Flashback) Mother     Mi... sa... ki. [06:10] (Flashback) Misaki     Hey, remember me? [06:13] (Flashback) Jinba     Y-You're Zaki! [06:16] (Flashback) Jinba     Zaki the Killer Killer! [06:18] (Flashback) Misaki     Hm... Right answer, [06:21] (Flashback) Misaki     but not quite the one I'm looking for! [06:24] (Flashback) Jinba     Damn it! You may be Clarissa's pet,     but you can't get away with— [06:28] Misaki     Clarissa hired me for this. [06:31] (Flashback) Misaki     She said you've done too much killing     on the side lately, so you need to go! [06:36] (Flashback) Misaki     You looked like you just loved     killing people when I saw you. [06:41] (Flashback) Misaki     How about now? [06:42] (Flashback) Misaki     Are you happy getting killed by me? [06:45] (Flashback) Misaki     I wonder if I look as happy     now as you did back then. [06:51] (Flashback) Jinba     Don't tell me... you're Sakimiya's...? [06:54] (Flashback) Jinba     I-Is this about revenge?! [06:57] (Flashback) Jinba     Or do you think you're some kind of hero,     only going after hit men and yakuza?! [07:02] (Flashback) Jinba     Because you're dead wrong! [07:04] (Flashback) Misaki     No way! It's nothing like that! [07:07] (Flashback) Misaki     You see, watching you made me wonder: [07:09] (Flashback) Misaki     Is killing people really that fun? [07:14] (Flashback) Misaki     I kill killers because it seems like fun. [07:18] (Flashback) Misaki     It's as simple as that. [07:22] (Flashback) Misaki     But now that you mention it,      I've never checked [07:27] (Flashback) Misaki     if I can kill good people, too. [07:32] (Flashback) Misaki     Are you a good person? [07:34] (Flashback) Jinba     Y-Yeah, I'm— [07:45] (Flashback) Misaki     As if. [07:49] (Flashback) Retriever 1     That must be her. Assassin Zaki. [07:52] (Flashback) Retriever 2     I hear she's a psycho who kills with a smile. [07:55] (Flashback) Retriever 3     What's Clarissa-san see in a brat like her? SIGN    Polka Shinoyama [07:59] Clarissa     You want this job? [08:01] (Flashback) Clarissa     But he's not a killer.     He's just a normal kid. [08:04] (Flashback) Misaki     I know. It's fine. [08:06] (Flashback) Misaki     I already achieved my goal in life,      so I want to find out [08:11] (Flashback) Misaki     just how messed up I really am. [08:21] (Flashback) Misaki     I killed him, no problem! [08:24] (Flashback) Misaki     I kind of figured [08:26] (Flashback) Misaki     I could kill good people     just as easily as bad ones! [08:35] (Flashback) Misaki     Welp, I guess someone like     me's better off dead, huh? [08:39] (Flashback) Misaki     Having me around won't make anybody happy. [08:42] (Flashback) Misaki     Not bad people or good people     or Clarissa or Kurupon or Hagane-chan. [08:47] (Flashback) Misaki     Probably not even me! [08:52] (Flashback) Misaki     And the only thing I haven't     tried yet is killing myself. [09:06] (Flashback) Misaki     Hello? [09:07] (Flashback) Takumi     It's me, Kuruya. [09:09] (Flashback) Misaki     What's up, Kurupon? [09:11] (Flashback) Misaki     I was just getting to the climax of my life. [09:14] (Flashback) Takumi     Yeah, I saw. [09:17] (Flashback) Misaki     Oh, hey there. [09:18] (Flashback) Takumi     Die if you want, but finish your job first. [09:22] (Flashback) Misaki     Huh? [09:23] (Flashback) Takumi     The kid whose throat you just slit is     walking around like nothing happened. [09:28] (Flashback) Misaki     Huh?! Wait, for real?! [09:30] (Flashback) Misaki     You mean I couldn't kill him?! [09:33] (Flashback) Takumi     Looks like it. You've still got a job to do. [09:38] Misaki     Wait... what's going on? [09:42] Misaki     Didn't I just have that     conversation with Kurupon? [09:47] Misaki     Oh, I get it. That was my     life flashing before my eyes. [09:54] Polka     Good, you're awake. [09:57] Polka     It worked. [10:00] Misaki     Huh?! [10:01] Misaki     How?! Didn't I get skewered     through the tummy?! [10:06] Misaki     I, um... died, right? [10:09] Misaki     How come I'm alive again? [10:11] Polka     Well, you aren't, actually. [10:14] Polka     You could say you've been      reborn through magic. [10:16] Misaki     So, next question... [10:18] Misaki     What's going on here? [10:25] Misaki     Clarissa?! [10:27] Misaki     What's Clarissa the intermediary doing— [10:30] Misaki     Whoa! [10:32] Clarissa     Okay. You're cold. [10:36] Clarissa     And you have no pulse whatsoever. [10:39] Misaki     Huh? [10:40] Clarissa     Don't worry! [10:41] Clarissa     You're 100% dead. [10:43] Polka     In this language, you're, um... [10:47] Polka     I've got it! You're a zombie. [10:51] Misaki     Huh? [10:53] (Flashback) Takumi     How's it going, kids? [10:56] (Flashback) Takumi     This is just a text file I'm     typing with my free hand. [11:00] (Flashback) Takumi     But if you're reading it, [11:02] (Flashback) Takumi     I've probably lost my mind. SIGN    40 minutes before Misaki Sakimiya wakes up [11:09] (Flashback) Takumi     I'm Takumi Kuruya, an all-around     great guy based in Shinjuku. [11:15] (Flashback) Takumi     I'm in business as sort of an info broker,      using the net and my drones. [11:19] (Flashback) Takumi     Oh, I haven't got flight     clearance for them, obviously. [11:22] (Flashback) Takumi     For reasons I won't get into,     I also help some hit men hide bodies. [11:28] (Flashback) Takumi     Anyway, I'd say I've lived     a discreet and humble life, [11:32] (Flashback) Takumi     and I wanted to keep it that way. [11:37] (Flashback) Takumi     So how'd I end up in this mess? [11:39] (Flashback) Clarissa     I'm sorry for interrupting your date,      Polka Shinoyama-kun. [11:44] (Flashback) Clarissa     That is your name, yes? [11:46] (Flashback) Clarissa     Before I introduce myself,     I'd like to ask you a question. [11:49] (Flashback) Clarissa     Would you care to explain that? [11:55] (Flashback) Clarissa     Takumi-kun, what am I looking at? [11:57] (Flashback) Takumi     That's not me. It must be the     drone I lost control of earlier. [12:02] (Flashback) Clarissa     And can drones fly without making noise? [12:04] (Flashback) Takumi     No way in hell. [12:06] (Flashback) Polka     Please wait a moment. [12:08] (Flashback) Polka     I'm about to fix her. [12:17] (Flashback) Clarissa     Takumi-kun, I'm guessing you didn't     whip up these special effects? [12:21] (Flashback) Takumi     If I could make CGI like that,     I'd do it for a living. [12:27] (Flashback) Polka     She should wake up soon. [12:30] (Flashback) Polka     Now, who are all of you? [12:35] (Flashback) Clarissa     We're friends of Misaki-chan there. [12:38] (Flashback) Clarissa     We came to finish her job and avenge her...      or at least, that was the plan. [12:45] (Flashback) Clarissa     May I take it that she's still alive? [12:48] (Flashback) Polka     Well... that's a bit of a tricky question. [12:52] (Flashback) Polka     I didn't do much, but her brain and soul      are intact and I mended her body. [12:58] (Flashback) Polka     She just needs a sorcerer to cast     resurrection magic on her when she wakes up. [13:05] (Flashback) Polka     Um... [13:07] (Flashback) Polka     Resurrection magic? [13:10] (Flashback) Clarissa     Magic. [13:11] (Flashback) Polka     Yes? I'm certain this body knows it, too. [13:14] (Flashback) Polka     You know, Rise, Arse, and so on? [13:17] (Flashback) Clarissa     Those are spells from video games. [13:20] (Flashback) Polka     Video games? [13:22] (Flashback) Polka     Um... Does this country have magic?     Practitioners of the spirit arts? [13:27] (Flashback) Clarissa     You're the first one I've ever seen. [13:31] (Flashback) Polka     And other lands? [13:33] (Flashback) Clarissa     Plenty of self-proclaimed magicians,     but that's all. [13:36] (Flashback) Polka     What about the Olnaql Rzcver     or the Xvatqbz bs Alnavyq? [13:40] (Flashback) Clarissa     Never heard of them. How did     you pronounce that? [13:52] (Flashback) Polka     You just had a mass hallucination. [13:54] (Flashback) Clarissa     Do you think you can fool us? [13:56] (Flashback) Polka     Hallucinations are no laughing matter. [14:00] (Flashback) Polka     Would you please allow yourselves [14:03] (Flashback) Polka     to be fooled? [14:06] (Flashback) Grunt 1     Monster! [14:10] (Flashback) Polka     You know, I don't have a clear grasp [14:14] (Flashback) Polka     of just how fragile and     easily killed you are. [14:25] (Flashback) Clarissa     Whatever shall I do? [14:28] (Flashback) Clarissa     Would you give me a moment to think it over? [14:31] (Flashback) Takumi     You think he'll be that easygoing? [14:33] (Flashback) Polka     Very well. I'll wait. [14:35] (Flashback) Takumi     You will?! [14:36] (Flashback) Takumi     Has this guy never heard of tension? [14:39] (Flashback) Takumi     Or is he just that confident? [14:43] (Flashback) Polka     Their weapons remind me of the Imperial     Dazzling Corps. Talk about creepy. [14:49] (Flashback) Polka     I'm not sure I have enough     mana to fight or flee. [14:55] (Flashback) Polka     Hmm... What should I do? [14:58] (Flashback) Izuna     Hm? [15:00] (Flashback) Izuna     It's close. [15:03] (Flashback) Clarissa     I hear them strangely often lately. [15:07] (Flashback) Takumi     There's a fire in the Shakuzawa Building.     I'll send you my camera feed. [15:12] (Flashback) Clarissa     The Shakuzawa Building? [15:14] (Flashback) Clarissa     I'm concerned for the children, [15:17] (Flashback) Clarissa     but I suppose we'll have to leave     this to the fire department. [15:29] (Flashback) Polka     What did that panel show? [15:32] (Flashback) Clarissa     A fire. What else? [15:35] (Flashback) Polka     And who are these children you fear for? [15:38] (Flashback) Clarissa     There's an unlicensed nursery     in the Shakuzawa Building. [15:42] (Flashback) Clarissa     It looks after yakuza orphans and     kids whose mothers work the nightlife biz. [15:50] (Flashback) Polka     Please take me there immediately. [15:54] (Flashback) Clarissa     If you don't know the way,     they must be strangers to you. [15:57] (Flashback) Clarissa     Why do you care? [16:00] (Flashback) Polka     I've been burned a number of times. [16:04] (Flashback) Polka     It is... quite painful. Children     should not suffer such agonies. [16:13] (Flashback) Clarissa     Fine. Takumi-kun, show him the way. [16:17] (Flashback) Takumi     Say what?! [16:18] (Flashback) Takumi     A-Are you nuts?! What if     he makes a break for it?! [16:22] (Flashback) Clarissa     That's why I want you to keep an eye on him. [16:31] (Flashback) Takumi     It's over that way. [16:32] (Flashback) Takumi     H-Hey! [16:37] (Flashback) Takumi     W-Wait up! [16:44] (Flashback) Takumi     What the hell?! He didn't go this     wild when he was running from Misaki! [16:51] (Flashback) Takumi     There it is! [16:52] (Flashback) Takumi     That's the building! [17:03] (Flashback) Polka     I can use magic to amplify my Evil Eye now. [17:11] (Flashback) Polka     I still sense the children's life force. [17:15] (Flashback) Takumi     Hey, what's your plan? Firefighters     and onlookers have this place sur— [17:21] (Flashback) Takumi     What the...?! [17:25] (Flashback) Kochou Eightport     Hm? [17:27] (Flashback) Kochou Eightport     Did something just jump into the fire? [17:29] (Flashback) Onlooker 1     Huh? Beats me. [17:38] (Flashback) Polka     Are these your children? [17:43] (Flashback) Polka     In that case, would you lend me a hand? [17:57] (Flashback) Onlooker 2     Whoa. This fire's spreading way too fast. [18:00] (Flashback) Onlooker 3     H-Hey! There's something up there! [18:03] (Flashback) Onlooker 2     Huh? [18:04] (Flashback) Onlooker 2     What is that? [18:11] (Flashback) Girl 1     Dad? [18:22] (Flashback) Girl 1     It was hot before, but now     it's not. It doesn't hurt. [18:29] (Flashback) Girl 1     That's Dad's hand. It's so warm. [18:47] (Flashback) Onlooker 2     Did you just see something wild in the smoke? SIGN    Yamaty@Shinjuku     Huge skeleton hand     What the hell? lol [18:58] (Flashback) Takumi     In the end, everyone made it out okay. SIGN    Tamachan     Skeletons walked through the fire?! [19:01] (Flashback) Takumi     But who does that* in front of a crowd?! [19:04] (Flashback) Takumi     And he just jumped out of the building,     the same as he went in! [19:10] (Flashback) Takumi     Still, what are his morals, anyway? [19:14] (Flashback) Takumi     He treats Misaki's life like a toy one minute [19:18] (Flashback) Takumi     and saves a bunch of kids the next. [19:21] (Flashback) Takumi     It doesn't add up. [19:23] (Flashback) Takumi     I can't figure him out.     I can't guess what he's thinking. [19:27] (Flashback) Takumi     He seems different from us, somehow. [19:32] (Flashback) Takumi     I'm telling you, Clarissa, [19:34] (Flashback) Takumi     this guy's the type of monster     you'd better steer clear of. [19:38] (Flashback) Clarissa     You may be right. [19:41] (Flashback) Clarissa     But I think Misaki-chan is about to wake up. [19:45] (Flashback) Clarissa     Would you hurry back to     this abandoned building? [19:48] (Flashback) Takumi     For real? She's seriously gonna wake up? SIGN    Present Time [19:58] Misaki     Wait, what? [19:59] Misaki     What's going on? [20:00] Misaki     Hey, what do you mean I'm dead? [20:04] Misaki     I don't get it. Fill me in. [20:06] Polka     So, even in such an advanced nation, [20:10] Polka     children still suffer from     disasters and circumstance. [20:14] Polka     What would it take to find peace here? [20:19] Clarissa     What exactly does "peace" mean to you? [20:23] Polka     What? [20:24] Clarissa     Let me see... [20:25] Clarissa     For the "peace" I recommend,     you would need... [20:31] Clarissa     money. [20:32] Grunts     Too raw. [20:35] Polka     Money? I suppose that's true in any land. [20:39] Clarissa     Who are you? Or perhaps I should ask... [20:44] Clarissa     What do you want?     What's your goal in this city? [20:50] Polka     I don't know the first     thing about this place. [20:54] Polka     But if I'm really the only necromancer here, [20:58] Polka     I'd like to use my magic to earn money. [21:01] Polka     I want power and a place to belong [21:04] Polka     so I can live in more perfectly     undisturbed peace than anyone else. [21:09] Clarissa     In that case, why don't I lend you a hand? [21:14] Clarissa     I'm Lisa Kuraki,     an intermediary here in Shinjuku. [21:20] Clarissa     It seems you're not Polka Shinoyama      on the inside. [21:25] Clarissa     As you've come from very far away,     I'll be your bridge to this city. [21:31] Clarissa     I'll assign people to help     you adjust to life here. [21:35] Clarissa     Misaki-chan and Takumi-kun. [21:38] Polka; Misaki; Takumi     Huh?

[02:07] Takumi     Hey, Misaki. [02:09] Takumi     Doesn't it bother you, hanging out     with the guy who killed you? [02:14] Misaki     Nope! I've never been killed before! [02:17] Misaki     It was super thrilling, so I don't mind! [02:21] Takumi     Oh, right. You've always had a screw loose. [02:26] Takumi     Anyway, I never knew Clarissa     owned this building. [02:30] Polka     Um... [02:33] Polka     I'm sure this is inconvenient for you,     but I really appreciate your help. [02:39] Polka     To be frank, I know almost     nothing about this world.

SIGN    The Torture Building SIGN    The Torture Building [02:50] Takumi     That body you, uh, reincarnated     into has a family, right? [02:55] Takumi     What about them? [02:57] Polka     Since it's currently "summer     vacation," I told this body's— [03:00] Polka     I told Polka Shinoyama's family that      he's on a journey of self-discovery. SIGN    I'm on a journey of self-discovery [03:07] Polka     Clarissa suggested I periodically     send them these postcards. [03:11] Takumi     That's a trick for covering     up someone's time of death. [03:14] Polka     But I don't know what I'll do after that.      I only know his family's names. [03:20] Takumi     Can't you pull the memories     out of his brain or something? [03:24] Polka     Language was easy to retrieve because     it was deeply ingrained via repetition, [03:29] Polka     but the older the memory is,     the harder it is to recover. [03:32] Polka     Or, you could say... [03:35] Polka     ...his last memory left     too strong an impression. [03:38] Takumi     Anyway, another world, huh? [03:41] Takumi     After seeing those monster skeletons,     I've gotta believe it. But still... [03:44] Polka     I'm still not certain this is another world.     There are similarities.

[04:06] Polka     They considered me an abomination     and tried to destroy me. [04:10] Polka     I was a colossal skeleton     monster over there, you see. [04:13] Takumi     Oh, you mean that thing. [04:16] Takumi     What did they call you over there? [04:18] Polka     Well, in you tongue,      I was called the... Cadaver Spirit?

[04:34] Polka     Peace may finally be within my grasp. [04:37] Polka     All I need to do now is talk down     whoever paid to have this body killed. [04:43] Takumi     I don't know who the client was,      and neither does Misaki. [04:47] Takumi     Didn't you ask Clarissa? [04:49] Polka     I did. [04:50] Polka     She said she had to keep the secret,     but let me use this floor in exchange. [04:55] Polka     Forcing her to speak is a last resort.     I'll investigate on my own first. [05:00] Polka     And Clarissa-san agreed not to accept     any more contracts on my life. [05:04] Takumi     And you just believed her?

[05:26] Misaki     How does it work?! Coin batteries?! [05:30] Takumi     Are you sure you don't mind having     Misaki around? She did kill you. [05:34] Polka     I mean, I wasn't the one who died. [05:41] Takumi     Was bringing this nutjob back     to life really a good idea? [05:44] Polka     Well, this body's owner, Polka-kun,      told me to forgive her. [05:50] Polka     So it should be fine. [05:51] Takumi     Huh? [05:53] Takumi     You've talked with Polka's ghost? [05:55] Polka     More than that. He's right there. [05:59] Takumi     Hm?

[10:44] Misaki     I guess I really am a monster now! [10:48] Misaki     But my instincts might not be quite as sharp. [10:51] Misaki     I mean, I've never gotten     shot in the back before! [10:54] Polka     Do all girls in this world     undress so casually? [10:58] Takumi     Hey, Polka. [11:00] Takumi     Why'd you listen to those dead kids? [11:04] Takumi     I thought lives were toys to you. [11:07] Polka     Yeah, every human life is     ultimately someone's toy. [11:13] Polka     But I like toys.     They can make children smile. [11:23] Polka     So of course I take good care of them. [11:27] Polka     No way in hell will I abandon     them to the vicissitudes of fate. [11:33] Takumi     Oh, so that's it. [11:35] Takumi     The biggest difference in our values     is how we see toys, not lives. [11:41] Takumi     No wonder we were talking past each other. [11:44] Takumi     Polka may be a dangerous guy... [11:48] (Flashback) Takumi (ep 1; 15:13)     Well, you'd better stay dead this time. [11:52] (Flashback) Takumi (ep 1; 15:16)     Otherwise, us retrievers don't get paid. [11:58] Takumi     ...but me and Misaki are probably     the real scumbags here. [12:03] Polka     Oh, sorry. I ought to watch my language. [12:07] Takumi     Being casual is fine. [12:10] Takumi     I mean, counting your past life,     you've gotta be older than me. [12:17] Takumi     So you see, it was a real hassle. [12:20] Clarissa     Yes. Thank you, Takumi-kun. [12:25] Clarissa     What? Yes, I really did back out     of the hit on Polka Shinoyama. [12:30] Clarissa     I couldn't stand those     stuck-up people anyway. [12:34] Clarissa     The remnants you dealt with     today shouldn't be an issue. [12:38] Clarissa     It appears they've made     a few too many enemies. [12:42] E     Damn it! That freak is gonna pay for this! [12:46] E     Bring out the whole armory! [12:51] F     Wh-What happened here? [12:53] E     Don't tell me that freak did this, too... [12:58] E     H-Hey! This ain't the time for jokes! [13:03] F     L-Lemmings...

SIGN    Vampire [13:18] Misaki     Wait, they were real in yours?! [13:21] Misaki     Lucky! Vampires are so cool. [13:24] Polka     With enough mana, I might eventually     be able to evolve you into one. [13:29] Misaki     For real?! [13:30] Takumi     What, like changing classes?     This is straight out of a video game. [13:34] Takumi     No idea how long this monster and     zombie will keep playing house. [13:40] Takumi     Well, I can play along for     a little while longer. [13:43] Takumi     I was getting bored of my life, anyway. [13:56] Izuna     Are you sure about this, Clarissa? [13:59] Clarissa     About what? Polka-kun? [14:01] Koruto     So you're close enough to     casually call him -kun? [14:06] Clarissa     He's got a soft spot for children. [14:09] Clarissa     A weakness like that makes      him easy to control. [14:12] Koruto     Clarissa's got a spot for kids, too,     if you ask me. [14:17] Koruto     Clarissa, phone call for you. [14:23] Clarissa     It's me. [14:25] Clarissa     How tedious. We went over all that yesterday. [14:31] Clarissa     "Polka Shinoyama is just a high schooler"? [14:34] Clarissa     Be serious. I believed     you when you said that, [14:37] Clarissa     and now one of our stars is a corpse. [14:40] Clarissa     Consider our relationship     on hold for a while. [14:46] Izuna     Wasn't Polka Shinoyama just     a high schooler, though? [14:50] Izuna     At least until he died? [14:52] Clarissa     I wouldn't be so sure about that. [14:57] Clarissa     But we got rid of one unpleasant client,      and that's what counts. [15:03] Clarissa     Now, shall we celebrate? [15:07] Clarissa     For the first time in ages,     this town might just charm me. [15:14] Clarissa     Choose your dance partners     with care, Polka-kun. [15:21] Arase     P-Please. Can't you see I'm begging you here? [15:26] Arase     I really can't pay. [15:29] Arase     I had no idea one beer cost 60,000 yen. [15:35] Iwanome     Hey, is it just me, or are more bars     ripping people off than ever? [15:40] Urai     Yes, I hear there's one on the fourth     floor of the building next door. [15:44] Iwanome     Huh. Well, a good drink in     this place ain't cheap either. [15:52] Iwanome     Anyway, where's Clarissa-chan?! [15:54] Urai     She's on the late shift today.     She'll start at midnight. [15:58] Iwanome     Seriously? That's not her regular time. [16:00] Iwanome     Urgent business? [16:01] Iwanome     Or has something been going on lately? [16:06] Urai     Oh, no. I don't think there's     been anything unusual. [16:09] Iwanome     Yeah? [16:11] Iwanome     What about the Shakuzawa     Building fire yesterday? [16:13] Iwanome     My coworkers were talking about people     seeing skeletons in there. Skeletons! [16:18] Iwanome     But what's so scary about that?! [16:21] Iwanome     Once we're dead, we'll all be skeletons! [16:23] Urai     Don't forget corpse wax and mummies. [16:26] Iwanome     Zombies are more my speed. [16:30] Iwanome     Watch out, or I'll feast on your flesh! [16:34] Satani     Exterminate zombie. Crush head. [16:39] Urai     We have a "hands off" policy. [16:45] Takumi     Man. Zombies, huh? [16:48] Takumi     What'll happen to Misaki's body?     It hasn't been long since she got shot. [16:53] Polka     Her body self-repairs and resists      putrefaction, so she'll be fine. [16:58] Polka     But she might be a bit stronger     and less sensitive than before. [17:03] Polka     She should eat raw meat if     she gets seriously injured. [17:06] Misaki     Like one of those "carnivorous women"?     Wow! That's so cool! [17:11] Takumi     I'm not so sure. [17:12] Polka     Also, your saliva should have     a strong paralytic effect. [17:16] Misaki     Huh? [17:18] Misaki     Oh! I think my spit tastes     sweeter than usual! [17:22] Polka     Anyone you bite will be     paralyzed for a little whi— SIGN    Slide SIGN    Thud [17:26] Takumi     Polka?! [17:28] Misaki     It's true! [17:29] Takumi     What's wrong with you?! [17:31] Misaki     Want me to bite you, too, Kurupon? [17:33] Misaki     A nibble from a girl's basically a kiss,      you know? Lucky you. [17:37] Takumi     Quiet, 3-D! [17:38] Misaki     Three-D?! [17:40] Takumi     Some women assume every man sees     a kiss from them as a prize. [17:44] Takumi     To such self-obsessed women, [17:46] Takumi     my answer will forever be a staunch "no"! [17:48] Takumi     They're as bad as men who offer to make     a stranger "their woman" as a reward! [17:53] Misaki     Kurupon! [17:54] Takumi     You're a monster created by modern society! [17:57] Misaki     A monster! [17:58] Polka     Monster... [18:00] Polka     That reminds me. [18:01] Polka     Does this world have any superhuman     bogeymen like the Calamity Crusher? [18:10] Cop B     Do you think there really were gunshots? [18:12] Cop A     Beats me. [18:14] Cop A     But someone called it in, so we have to check. [18:26] Cop B     What was that sound? [18:41] Cop B     Huh? [18:42] Cop B     What happened here?! [18:44] Arase     Come on, say something already. [18:49] Arase     I'm bowing my head and apologizing, aren't I? [18:53] Arase     Well?! [19:10] Iwanome     Oh, damn it. [19:12] Iwanome     I was so close to getting     to see Clarissa-chan. [19:16] Iwanome     This really blows. [19:22] Takumi     Oh, I was thinking. Your world uses     the decimal system, too, right? [19:25] Polka     That's right. [19:27] Takumi     I'm guessing people there     have ten fingers, then? [19:30] Polka     Ten fingers? [19:32] Polka     Well, most do. Although     there's some variation. [19:35] Misaki     Ten fingers leading to the decimal     system is just one theory, you know? [19:40] Takumi     I'm surprised you know that. [19:42] Takumi     Wait, could people from different     worlds really look that alike? [19:46] Takumi     And would magic from another     world work the same way here? [19:50] Polka     You have a point. [19:58] Polka     My world and this one may     be connected somehow. [20:03] Polka     Too much wouldn't make sense otherwise. [20:07] Takumi     Paralysis finally wore off? [20:09] Polka     Yeah. [20:10] Misaki     I'll have to add biting to my bag of tricks! [20:13] Takumi     Wouldn't punching be faster? [20:15] Misaki     I can use it to immobilize people! [20:18] Misaki     I used to nail gun them to the floor,      but now I can save on nails! [20:23] Takumi     Yeah, that'll be better for the environment. [20:25] Polka     Yes. The more ways you can     incapacitate someone, the better. [20:31] Takumi     I'm guessing you've got     a ton of tricks for that. [20:34] Takumi     You put those punks six feet under. [20:37] Takumi     Convenient that it hid the corpses, too. [20:39] Polka     What? They're still alive. [20:42] Takumi     Huh? [20:44] Polka     Though I doubt they're still sane,     so they probably can't testify. [20:48] Takumi     "Probably" won't cut it! [20:49] Polka     Don't worry. I made sure they'll     never be able to kill anyone again. [20:59] Arase     You reek of booze, Iwa-san. [21:02] Iwanome     Better than the blood I smell on you.      How'd that happen? [21:06] Arase     It was self-defense.     Even though I apologized, [21:09] Arase     I thought they were going to kill me. [21:11] Iwanome     Kill you? Gimme a break. [21:15] Arase     So, what's this? [21:19] Iwanome     I see. [21:21] Iwanome     Well, now. So that's what this is about. [21:24] Iwanome     I've never seen a human square knot before.

It turned red! [04:26] Takumi     He gets turned on by the girl who killed him? [04:29] Takumi     I guess the real Polka was a weirdo, too. [04:33] Takumi     I can't tell what he's trying to say. [04:35] Polka     I could make it so he can talk. [04:37] Takumi     Huh? [04:38] Polka     I'd only need fresh human vocal cords. [04:41] Takumi     Those ain't easy to get! [04:43] Polka     Creating them from nothing     would drain a lot of mana. [04:47] Polka     I suppose I ought to replenish my     magical power before I focus on money. [04:51] Polka     But this world has so little mana in     the air, and I sense so few spirits. [04:57] Takumi     So, what'll you do? [04:58] Polka     I can usually draw on ghosts for power. [05:01] Polka     It takes more energy than you'd think to     keep a human soul in the living world. [05:07] Polka     Grudges, regrets, that sort of thing. [05:10] Polka     And by exorcising ghosts, necromancers     can convert that power into magic. [05:18] Polka     That made this building an even better     source of mana than an old battlefield. [05:24] Takumi     You won't find many other     places like this, you know? [05:27] Polka     Don't worry! [05:29] Polka     Your world has mana stones,     just like mine did!

[05:54] Takumi     Now, go take a look at reality. [05:58] Polka     Pardon? [06:01] Polka     Th-This one stone costs thirty times     one of your officials' daily wages? [06:08] Polka     I never dreamed it would be so costly. [06:10] Misaki     Were they cheaper in your world? [06:13] Polka     Yes, even children could easily afford them.

[06:48] Misaki     Can't you suck out the     magic through the cases? [06:51] Polka     The stones would crumble if I did. [06:54] Polka     That wouldn't be fair to the shopkeepers. [06:57] Takumi     So, you've got scruples about theft? [07:00] Takumi     Okay. Now what? [07:03] Takumi     Hm? [07:07] Takumi     Crap! [07:13] Arase     Don't be so cold. [07:15] Arase     What are you running for, [07:17] Arase     criminal? [07:19] Iwanome     Hey. Glad I managed to catch     you today, Clarissa-chan. [07:23] Clarissa     What brings you here, Inspector? [07:25] Iwanome     Oh, I've been dying to chat with you. [07:30] Iwanome     Your people were awfully busy when the     Shakuzawa Building caught fire, yeah? [07:37] Iwanome     That info broker's drones     were spotted near the scene. [07:41] Iwanome     Then, yesterday, we found     some guys in real bad shape. [07:45] Iwanome     They worked for one of your     lackeys, a guy called Jinba. [07:50] Iwanome     It got me wondering if there's a connection. [07:54] Iwanome     So, being a cop, I'm gonna need     to ask you some questions. [08:02] Iwanome     How deep is your organization     mixed up in this, [08:06] Iwanome     Lisa Kuraki? [08:11] Arase     Oh, sorry. Did I startle you? [08:15] Arase     Don't mind me. [08:16] Arase     Please. [08:18] Polka     O-Okay. [08:19] Misaki     Watch out, Polka-kun.     This guy's probably bad news. [08:24] Arase     I know you can hear me, Takumi Kuruya-kun. [08:28] Arase     You can talk through your drones when     their propellers aren't spinning. [08:33] Takumi     Of all the guys who could've     caught me! What'll I do?! [08:37] Takumi     If he's not after Polka and Misaki,     maybe I can play dumb? [08:41] Polka     Excuse me. [08:43] Arase     I believe I asked you nicely to ignore me. [08:48] Polka     You did, but that drone means     a lot to a friend of mine. [08:54] Arase     A friend? You mean Takumi-kun? [08:58] Polka     Yes. [09:00] Arase     That's no good. I mean,     you must still be in high school. [09:05] Arase     Hang around human garbage like him,     and you'll end up just as rotten. [09:10] Arase     Cut ties with him. Right here, right now. [09:14] Arase     What? [09:16] Arase     He's awfully chilly. [09:18] Polka     Garbage? Scum? Impure? [09:24] Polka     I think society decides     who those labels apply to. [09:28] Polka     But... [09:29] Polka     I decide who my friends are. [09:40] Arase     I see. [09:41] Arase     Now I'm curious. [09:43] Arase     Would you mind telling     me a bit about yourself? [09:53] Takumi     Kouzaburou Arase. [09:55] Takumi     He may be a detective with the     Shinjuku Community Safety Division, [09:59] Takumi     but he's way scarier than any thug. [10:03] Takumi     When I used to run intel for     a street gang, I saw him... [10:09] Takumi     demolish eight of their toughest     fighters in no time flat. [10:17] Takumi     Can you hear me, Polka? [10:18] Takumi     Don't answer; he'll catch on. [10:20] Takumi     Hide your power. [10:22] Takumi     If you catch his eye,     you can kiss a peaceful life goodbye. [10:25] Takumi     He's a cop. [10:28] Arase     Is he the one who asked you? [10:30] Arase     To be friends, that is. [10:32] Arase     You shouldn't trust strangers     who act too friendly. [10:36] Arase     Didn't your parents teach you that? [10:39] Polka     My parents sold me, so I wouldn't know. [10:42] Arase     They "sold" you? [10:44] Polka     Oh, sorry. That was in my past life. [10:48] Arase     Curiouser and curiouser. [10:50] Arase     I'd really like to know your name. [10:53] Takumi     Misaki visits Clarissa's too often. [10:57] Takumi     Polka probably will, too.     We can't afford an investigation! [11:05] Takumi     Hey, Arase, man. [11:07] Takumi     It's been a while since our last chat. [11:10] Arase     Now this is a surprise.     You know my phone number? [11:14] Arase     You must have really improved since then. [11:18] Takumi     Those are just my gaming buddies.     Their relatives work at Clarissa's bar. [11:23] Takumi     They're not in on any shady stuff.     Can't you cut 'em a break? [11:27] Arase     I'm questioning them to find that out. [11:31] Takumi     Look, I know I'll get     fined for illegal flying, [11:37] Takumi     but you'll get it worse if video of you     hassling innocent kids hits the net. [11:42] Arase     Really? You're trying to negotiate with me? [11:48] Arase     Having some distance between     us sure makes you cocky. [11:53] Arase     Hard to believe you sold     out your old buddies, [11:57] Arase     wailing, "I'll tell you     everything! Just don't hit me!" [12:02] Arase     Hey, do you know what kind of     guy Takumi Kuruya really is? [12:07] Arase     He'd sell out his friends in a     heartbeat to save his own skin. [12:11] Arase     He told me how many moles their     kid sisters have, and I didn't even ask. [12:16] Takumi     How the hell would I know that?! [12:18] Arase     He's a callous criminal. [12:21] Arase     Who knows what he says about you     behind your backs? [12:24] Arase     And he'll sell your secrets     if you give him half a chance. [12:29] Polka     So he's loose-lipped? [12:32] Polka     But that's better than     what you are right now. [12:37] Arase     I knew it. He's not just any kid. [12:41] Arase     He's got the aura of a mob enforcer. [12:44] Arase     Or maybe more like a     battle-hardened boss. [12:48] Arase     A veteran soldier? No, he couldn't be. [12:52] Polka     I don't want him to see my     power or figure out who I am. [12:56] Polka     What will Misaki-chan do? [12:59] Polka     Huh? [13:02] Arase     Where'd the girl go? [13:12] Misaki     Oh, I'm so scared! [13:13] Misaki     I just defended myself against a creep      who was about to hit me, right? SIGN    Creep [13:21] Misaki     Now, let's get out of here!

[13:45] Polka     To be honest, I owe you one. [13:46] Misaki     Kurupon texted me. It was all,      "He's a cop. Run." [14:03] Takumi     You okay, Polka? [14:05] Polka     Yeah, somehow. [14:07] Takumi     Listen. [14:09] Takumi     I appreciate you standing up for me, [14:12] Takumi     but you gave me too much credit back there. [14:16] Takumi     He was telling the truth. [14:18] Takumi     I don't wanna die, so I'll spill your     secrets as soon as someone threatens me. [14:26] Polka     Now you're giving me too much credit. [14:29] Polka     I've got no secrets worth     more than a friend's life. [14:37] Takumi     Were you this hard-boiled     in your past life, too? [14:42] Polka     I told you about the     Geldwood Order, didn't I? [14:45] Polka     Their holy arts can force people     to confess against their will. [14:50] Polka     So "selling me out" was an irrelevant concept. [14:54] Takumi     Are you sure those guys were holy? [15:00] Polka     At least one of them was. [15:04] Arase     Hi there, Aikawa-san. [15:06] Arase     This may sound weird, but would     you investigate this footprint? [15:11] Aikawa     What the hell? That's wicked funny. [15:14] Aikawa     Wait, that's a woman's shoe.     The hell have you been doing? [15:17] Yamada     Arase-chan!

[15:26] Aikawa     I don't think I'll even     need to check this print. [15:29] Arase     Come again? [15:30] Aikawa     I mean, I just saw one. [15:32] Aikawa     Apart from Lemmings's,     it was the most important print [15:36] Aikawa     at that human knot crime scene. [15:41] Policewoman 1     Look at that. [15:42] Policeman 1     Scary, right? [15:44] Aikawa     Anyway, if you're getting patched up,      go somewhere private. [15:45] Policewoman 1     I hear he got it while he     was infiltrating the yakuza. [15:47] Aikawa     That thing on your back freaks people out. [15:50] Arase     Bingo. [15:51] Arase     Finally, a case worth sinking my teeth into. [15:55] Arase     This should be fun. [16:02] Inspector A     Comps-3 sure is noisy. [16:05] Inspector B     I hear they got a lead on Lemmings. [16:08] Inspector A     What? That troublemaker? [16:10] Inspector B     He first appeared five years ago,      if I remember right. [16:15] Inspector B     Murder, protection,     transportation, kidnapping, [16:18] Inspector B     robbery, destroying evidence,     debt collection... [16:22] Inspector B     Rumor has it he'll do any job. [16:28] Inspector B     I saw him once myself. [16:31] Inspector B     He was a monster all right. [16:34] Inspector B     The guys he was fighting     brought out submachine guns, [16:39] Inspector B     but he still broke all their necks [16:41] Inspector B     while they hosed him down with bullets. [16:44] Inspector B     He didn't dodge.     He did it while they shot him. [16:49] Inspector B     I'd like to say we'll catch him ourselves, [16:53] Inspector B     but that's Comps-3's jurisdiction. [16:55] Inspector B     We've got to leave it to Iwanome's team. [16:59] Inspector B     Iwanome's an oddball who     lost his shot at promotion, [17:02] Inspector B     but he's a lot tougher than he looks. [17:07] Iwanome     So then I told 'im! [17:09] Iwanome     "I've had it with your tricks!" [17:12] Bunny A     Seriously?! [17:13] Bunny B     That's something cannon fodder would say! [17:16] Urai     What did that guy even come here for? [17:19] Clarissa     To hear what we have to say. [17:22] Clarissa     Informally, since he doesn't have a warrant. [17:25] Iwanome     Hey, Lisa Kuraki! [17:28] Iwanome     Fess up! I know you work with     some serious troublemakers! [17:34] Iwanome     C'mon! [17:35] Iwanome     I don't mean Lemmings     or the Fire-Breathing Bug! [17:38] Iwanome     I know the Grim Reaper's one of your people! [17:42] Bunny A     Who's that? They sound scary! [17:45] Bunny B     Lemmings? What a cute name! [17:48] Iwanome     Listen, there's nothing cute about Lemmings. [17:53] Iwanome     He scared the hell out of me when     he broke through a 30-man team. [17:58] Iwanome     Oh, but don't tell the media that, okay? [18:00] Bunny B     Hmm... I don't know. [18:03] Urai     Should he be saying that? [18:04] Urai     I thought the precinct     couldn't make it public. [18:09] Clarissa     No, but that doesn't matter. [18:11] Urai     Huh? [18:12] Clarissa     This bar is part of the underworld. [18:17] Clarissa     Of course, I'm sure he's doing     it on purpose to taunt us. [18:20] Iwanome     Those skeletons walking through fire     smell like a new troublemaker to me. [18:26] Bunny A; B     What?! That's so creepy! [18:27] Izuna     We can't let him dig too deep. [18:28] Koruto     We'll need to warn Polka-kun     to be careful later. [18:31] Misaki     Hiya, Clarissa! [18:33] Misaki     We're here to hang out! [18:36] Izuna     Why now? [18:38] Iwanome     Whoa, there! You kids must be underage. [18:41] Iwanome     You shouldn't be in here. [18:44] Misaki     Don't worry! We'll order milk!

[19:22] Takumi     That was a close one. [19:24] Misaki     So then Hagane-chan said, [19:27] Misaki     "Damn your impudence!" [19:30] Iwanome     That's something cannon fodder would say! [19:32] Iwanome     Who's Hagane-chan, anyway? [19:35] Polka     What is this fruit juice? [19:39] Polka     It's more delicious than any drink     I tasted before I became undead! [19:46] Polka     I wish I could have shared it with     everyone in the abandoned coal mine. [19:50] Iwanome     What's he crying for? [19:51] Misaki     Beats me. [19:53] Takumi     Hey, Polka! Are you in the bar?! [19:55] Takumi     Don't answer! [19:57] Takumi     If you're there, go out the back door ASAP! [20:04] Arase     Would you let me past? I'm a customer. [20:07] Arase     At least for now. [20:12] Clarissa     It's all right. Let him in. [20:14] Clarissa     His friend is already here. [20:16] Iwanome     Yo, Arase! Over here! [20:19] Arase     She-fox. [20:21] Arase     I never thought I'd actually     find you with them. [20:24] Misaki     Hey! [20:25] Misaki     That's the bad guy who tried     to hit me and force himself on me! [20:29] Iwanome     Huh? [20:30] Arase     I did not try to force myself on you. [20:32] Iwanome     Yuck! How scummy can you be? [20:34] Arase     Inspector? [20:35] Iwanome     I'm just kidding. [20:38] Iwanome     Listen, do you mind if I     ask you some questions?

[20:55] Misaki     What'll we do now, Polka-kun? Run for it? [20:58] Polka     That sounds like a good idea. [21:06] Polka     You hold my hand this time. [21:09] Misaki     Wow! You come on strong. [21:23] Misaki     Polka-kun? [21:25] Polka     What is it? What's in here?! [21:29] Clarissa     I'm going to make some light. [21:54] Iwanome     You've gotta be kidding me.

[00:09] Clarissa     Wait. [00:11] Clarissa     If he were here to kill,     someone would already be dead. [00:15] Koruto     So, we'll be okay? [00:18] Clarissa     I guess we'll see. [00:21] Arase     Trying to guess what Lemmings     is thinking is a waste of time. [00:25] Arase     Iwa-san. [00:30] Arase     Either way, he's on the     nationwide wanted list. [00:34] Arase     Let's beat him down and put him in custody. [00:36] Iwanome     Don't forget, we technically have witnesses. [00:40] Misaki     Polka-kun, Polka-kun. [00:42] Misaki     I think that guy's probably     a lot scarier than the cops. [00:46] Polka     Yes. [00:47] Polka     I can tell. [00:51] Polka     Are those the ghosts of people he's killed? [00:54] Polka     They're torn between... hatred and fear? [01:04] Trio C     Wha—?! [01:10] Arase     You've got strong arms. [01:12] Arase     Have you been working out your core, too? [01:21] Iwanome     I did remind you we've got witnesses, yeah? [01:35] Arase     Take me seriously, damn it. [01:38] Polka     Huh? [01:45] Misaki     Who, me? [01:49] Misaki     Huh? Is this some new kind of pickup routine? [01:52] Polka     Misaki-chan! [01:53] Corpse God     I mustn't. [01:54] Corpse God     If those officials see my magic,     peace will slip through my fingers. [01:59] Corpse God     Perhaps permanently. [02:08] Corpse God     And regardless, [02:09] Corpse God     I'll never have peace if     I oppose that monster. [02:16] Iwanome     Arase! [02:17] Corpse God     He's similar to Shagrua,     although differently inclined. [02:22] Corpse God     Though human, he's pushed beyond human limits. [02:26] Corpse God     Thus, I'm left with only one choice: [02:29] Polka     Forsake the girl and flee. [02:38] Misaki     Polka-kun! [02:40] Polka     Maybe I messed up my reincarnation. [02:43] Polka     Teacher, it seems I've become quite a fool. [04:23] Iwanome     What the hell is that?! [04:26] Iwanome     Huh?! [04:32] Misaki     Polka-kun? [04:33] Misaki     I can't see, but that is you, isn't it? [04:35] Polka     Quiet! Let's get out while we can. [04:41] Iwanome     What? What was that noise?! [04:51] Polka     He can see in pitch darkness?! [05:22] Polka     Misaki-chan! [05:25] Misaki     Huh? [05:28] Misaki     Well, umm, see... [05:31] Misaki     I can't tell you that! [05:33] Misaki     I'd get chewed out if I did! [05:35] Misaki     So, end of discussion! Better luck next time! [05:42] Misaki     Hey, hold up! [05:44] Misaki     He's got nothing to do with this—     or any bad stuff. [05:49] Misaki     Well? I told you. [05:51] Misaki     Satisfied now? [05:53] Misaki     I'll even throw in a freebie! [05:56] Polka     Her paralytic saliva?! [06:02] Misaki     I can't bite through these bandages. [06:05] Misaki     Psych! [06:15] Misaki     Lucky you. That was basically a kiss. [06:20] Polka     Of course, a fork won't carry enough     saliva to fully immobilize him. [06:27] Polka     But thank you. [06:45] Polka     You bought me time to     work out a spell in peace. [07:01] Iwanome     What the hell? [07:03] Iwanome     We might as well not have been here,      for all the good we did. [07:06] Arase     Let's come in full gear next time. [07:08] Clarissa     Oh, my. That's awfully extreme. [07:14] Iwanome     Sorry, but after what I just saw,     I haven't got the balls to come back unarmed. [07:23] Clarissa     This is a non-smoking area. [07:25] Iwanome     Huh? [07:30] Takeru     So, you're back, [07:32] Takeru     Lemmings. [07:34] Takeru     You were gone a long time.     I expect quicker work from you. [07:42] Takeru     What? [07:43] Takeru     I see. So Jinba was already killed. [07:47] Takeru     Well, it never mattered     to me who disposed of him. [07:52] Takeru     I continue to have high hopes for you, Nezu. [07:58] Takeru     Is there something else? [08:04] Takumi     For real?! [08:06] Takumi     That guy's like an urban     legend here in Shinjuku. [08:09] Takumi     He slips in unnoticed and     does his job without a fuss. [08:13] Takumi     Because he can pop up anywhere,     they name him after a horde of rodents— [08:16] Takumi     "Lemmings." [08:19] Takumi     Man, I can't believe you     made it out in one piece. [08:21] Misaki     Yeah, we made a real killing! [08:24] Takumi     Still, you must've used a lot     of magic power on that, Polka. [08:29] Polka     Yes. [08:31] Polka     But the ghosts haunting that bandaged     man more than made up for it. [08:46] Polka     Thank you. [08:47] Misaki     Huh? What for? [08:49] Polka     You protected me. [08:52] Polka     You told him a secret, didn't you? [08:55] Misaki     Don't sweat it. [08:57] Misaki     You bailed me out, too, [08:59] Misaki     so we're even! [09:03] (Flashback) Teacher     It doesn't matter if you've known     someone one second or five years. [09:06] (Flashback) Teacher     If you want to help them, go ahead and do it. [09:10] (Flashback) Teacher     Boy, I suspect you'll live a long time. [09:15] (Flashback) Teacher     So long that the distinction between     a second and a century blurs. [09:19] (Flashback) Teacher     So don't bother worrying     about how long a thing lasts. [09:23] (Flashback) Teacher     As you live on and on,     the force of habit and experience [09:28] (Flashback) Teacher     will take control when it matters most. [09:34] Polka     With this frail body, I can't protect anyone. [09:38] Polka     Not even myself. [09:41] Polka     Misaki-chan. [09:43] Polka     Takumi-kun. [09:45] Polka     And... [09:46] Polka     the real Polka-kun. [09:48] Polka     I don't know the first thing about this world,      so I want you to teach me. [09:54] Polka     About yourselves, as well. [09:56] Takumi     What're you acting all formal for? [09:58] Polka     I see clearly now. [10:01] Polka     I don't want any peace [10:03] Polka     that requires sacrificing someone who     laughed with me, no matter how briefly. [10:18] Takeru     I can't believe you're still alive. [10:21] Takeru     You had me completely fooled, [10:23] Takeru     Polka. [10:25] Takeru     Playtime is over. [10:31] Polka     And so, [10:32] Polka     I've decided to start a business. [10:35] Takumi     What for? [10:36] Polka     What happened yesterday     drove it home for me. [10:38] Polka     To live here peacefully, with limited mana,     I really do need money. [10:45] Takumi     Talk about materialistic. [10:47] Misaki     Are you gonna make more big skeletons?! [10:50] Takumi     They'll call in the riot squad. [10:52] Polka     Necromancy is useful in combat,     but that isn't all it's good for. [10:58] Polka     For instance, if I make pacts with     ghosts who still have a sense of self, [11:01] Polka     I can let them possess and move objects. [11:04] Misaki     Hey, that's my mechanical pencil. [11:06] Polka     You dropped it, so I borrowed it. [11:08] Misaki     No problem! [11:09] Polka     I found a sane ghost in the basement,     so I made a pact and let it possess this. [11:16] Takumi     Whoa! SIGN    I say. I'm honored to meet acquaintances of Clarissa, the famed intermediary. [11:22] Takumi     It's way more eloquent than I expected! SIGN    My name is Hosorogi,     and I passed away here five years ago.     Heh heh heh..     I bet you could dupe a land swindler      and legally flip this building... [11:28] Misaki     Wow! [11:29] Takumi     But it's saying some shady-ass things! [11:31] Polka     Since only I can use magic,     if I start a business with magic, [11:35] Polka     I may be able to corner the market.

[12:46] Takumi     You made a hundred grand in a week. [12:49] Takumi     But really, fortune telling? SIGN    The keys to sham fortune telling are     hot reading and cold reading.     Hot reading = Passing off the results     of prior investigation as guesses.     Cold reading = Guessing a subject's thoughts      based on what they say and do.           You will need:      - A crystal ball      - Exotic costumes [12:52] Takumi     "The keys to sham fortune telling     are hot reading and cold reading"? [12:58] Takumi     Honestly, this is a great setup. [13:00] Takumi     I look up clients, using the names and     birth dates we make them write at the desk, [13:05] Takumi     and show Polka the data through     this little eyeball guy. [13:08] Takumi     And with Polka doing his thing on top of that... [13:11] Husband's Ghost     I died last month of overeating. [13:14] Polka     I see you lost someone     dear to you last month. [13:18] Lady     How did you know?! [13:22] Polka     The key to open a new door is carved on     a tombstone at the back of your garden. [13:28] Lady     A tombstone? [13:30] Lady     You mean the one for our pet,     Mii-chan, who died last year? [13:33] Lady     Could it be... the combination     to the main safe? [13:41] Takumi     ...you get fortune telling with     a 100% accuracy rate. [13:45] Takumi     Still, you writing on your own     has to look like a total gimmick. SIGN    That's just what we want.     Let them start out suspicious     and then decide it's real magic.      That will lay the groundwork for     more potent brainwashing to come.      Heh heh heh... [13:56] Takumi     Brainwashing? [14:00] Takumi     You do remember Polka wants peace, right? [14:05] Polka     This is the first money I've earned here. [14:10] Polka     Now to split it five ways. [14:12] Takumi     Why five? [14:13] Polka     For me, Misaki-chan, Takumi-kun,     the real Polka-kun, and Hosorogi-san. [14:18] Takumi     You sure are conscientious. [14:20] Misaki     Yay! [14:23] Polka     What's wrong? [14:24] Polka     Just think of it as a token of     thanks for lending me your body. [14:29] Takumi     Is he saying he doesn't want the money? [14:31] Polka     Yes. He says he didn't earn it. [14:34] Takumi     Well, the real Polka's probably     seen enough cash for a lifetime. [14:39] Takumi     Oh, right. You can't access all his memories. [14:44] Takumi     Polka Shinoyama's family is— [14:47] Takumi     Hey, what's the big idea? [14:49] Kazuki     Oh, dear, are we disturbing you? [14:53] Kazuki     Good day, everyone.

Who do you think you're fooling? [15:34] Shizuki     And what's with that name? [15:36] Shizuki     "Corpse God"? A god for dead bodies? [15:40] Shizuki     That's... kinda cool. [15:42] Takumi     You think so? [15:43] Kazuki     Calm down, Shizuki. [15:46] Kazuki     These peasants must have put him up to it. [15:50] Kazuki     Why else would Uncle Polka     have run away from home? [15:56] Polka     This is bad. [15:57] Polka     If they find out I'm not him inside,     there goes my peace. [16:01] Kazuki     Well, let's set that aside for now. [16:05] Kazuki     We're here as customers today. [16:09] Kazuki     Won't you show us [16:13] Kazuki     your oh-so-impressive fortune telling?

[17:28] Kazuki     I've had it with your— [17:29] Polka     That's enough. Thank you. [17:32] Polka     I realize you're making     yourself a target to spare me, [17:36] Polka     but this child is on the verge of tears. [17:40] Kazuki     Th-That's ridiculous! [17:47] Shizuki     Hey, Polka! What're you— [17:51] Polka     You said you wanted your fortunes read. [17:54] Polka     Don't worry. You both have a future. [17:58] Polka     I'll protect you.

[18:09] Polka     And he told me that [18:12] Polka     he'll return home tomorrow. [18:16] Polka     So you should go home for today, as well. [18:20] Suzuka     Help... Help...

[18:40] Polka     "Evil spirit" isn't quite     the right word for her. [18:44] Polka     She seems to want to protect the twins,     but she's gone half-mad.

[19:51] Polka     But my peaceful life... [19:53] Takumi     Why's the real one look shocked, too? [19:56] Takumi     Like I said before, we don't     know who put the hit on Polka. [20:01] Takumi     But it could have been one of your relatives. [20:05] Takumi     Going home is like charging     into enemy territory. [20:09] Takumi     Are you sure about this? [20:11] Misaki     Oh, come on. Polka-kun can handle it. [20:14] Takumi     Only if he can afford to     use magic out in the open. [20:16] Polka     Oh, I had bodyguards back when I was alive.

[21:13] Takeru     Now, tell me. Did Polka seem well? [21:17] Shizuki     Huh? Y-Yeah. [21:19] Kazuki     He said to expect him at home tomorrow. [21:21] Takeru     I see. That's something to look forward to. [21:25] Takeru     Although, that said,     I'll have to assign him a babysitter. [21:29] Takeru     The two of you should take care, as well. [21:32] Takeru     There could always be another accident,     like what happened to Suzuka. [23:15] Rozan     I see. So, Polka's alive and kicking.

[05:05] Xiaoyu     I'm terribly sorry! The young     miss is still in shock. [05:09] Xiaoyu     She wishes to sulk in bed for a while. [05:13] Sayo     If you want to get me out of this sleeping bag,     bait your hook with shark merch. [05:20] Takumi     Hey, quit it with the attempts at extortion.

[06:17] Xiaoyu     The main Shinoyama residence is     once again buzzing with police, [06:21] Xiaoyu     so it may be best that you     not return for some time. [06:26] Iwanome     Oh, okay. [06:28] Iwanome     Before you knew it, the arsonist was down     for the count, so you turned him in? [06:32] Kazuki     Hey, who are those people? [06:34] Head Maid     Police officers, I believe. [06:37] Kazuki; Shizuki     What?! [06:38] Kazuki; Shizuki     There's no way that's true. [06:43] Takeru     Oh? I thought the questioning     finished yesterday. [06:48] Iwanome     Just who we wanted to see. [06:51] Iwanome     We're from a slightly different department. [06:53] Iwanome     I know it's a hassle,     but please bear with us, [06:56] Iwanome     Takeru Shinoyama-san. [07:00] Takeru     You believe that yesterday's arsonist     may have been the Fire-Breathing Bug? [07:05] Iwanome     Yes, it's a possibility. [07:08] Takeru     I find that hard to believe. [07:11] Takeru     But if you're right, then I suppose his death [07:15] Takeru     means that the Fire-Breathing Bug     won't be committing any more crimes. [07:19] Iwanome     Oh, no, I wouldn't go that far. [07:23] Iwanome     But we need to review this case thoroughly     if we want to get to the truth. [07:32] Takeru     The Fire-Breathing Bug has always been     a thorn in Shinoyama Security's side. [07:35] Takeru     They've burned several of our clients'     buildings, tarnishing our reputation. [07:41] Takeru     We've been anxiously wondering when     the police would put them behind bars. [07:46] Iwanome     Really? That hits a sore spot. [07:49] Takeru     Of course, an arrest wouldn't count     for much if they escaped from prison. [07:56] Iwanome     Now you're rubbing salt in the wound. [07:58] Takeru     Aren't you assigned to Shinjuku Precinct? [08:01] Takeru     Do you really have time to     sit around here chatting? [08:04] Takeru     I believe Ten'a Sorimura,     the Phantom Solitaire, [08:07] Takeru     operates primarily in your jurisdiction. SIGN    Catch me if you can! [08:09] Solitaire     Catch me if you can! [08:12] Takeru     Our stock price dropped when he     kidnapped the prime minister. [08:15] Takeru     And that wasn't even our security. [08:19] Takeru     I hope you'll ensure that     it doesn't fall further. [08:24] Takeru     Good hunting, officers. [08:30] Arase     I'd say that pair behind him [08:33] Arase     are probably killers. [08:36] Iwanome     Seriously? [08:37] Arase     Something about them gives it away. [08:39] Arase     Especially the man.     He smells like one of my kind. [08:43] Iwanome     What kind's that? [08:44] Arase     People who think they can solve     any problem with violence. [08:50] Arase     So, what you might call "scumbags." [08:55] Iwanome     That's not too reassuring. [08:57] Iwanome     Call up Pop Tozawa and Yatsu. [09:00] Iwanome     We might throw down with Shinoyamas,     depending on how this plays out. [09:05] Arase     Have you got a lead? [09:10] Iwanome     He was dressed up, but I bet you     recognize the guy on the far left. [09:16] Arase     Is that...? [09:17] Iwanome     His name's Polka Shinoyama,     and he's Rozan's younger son. [09:21] Iwanome     That makes him an heir     to the Shinoyama legacy. [09:23] Iwanome     He's not at home now, but I hear     he was there for yesterday's fire. [09:28] Arase     That kid's a Shinoyama? [09:32] Iwanome     The girl in glasses with him left footprints     at the scene of the human knots. [09:38] Iwanome     And I've learned that the victims were     at odds with part of the Shinoyama Group. SIGN    Lemmings [09:44] Iwanome     We've been dealing with one troublemaker     after another for the past month. [09:47] Iwanome     Is this Polka kid at the center of it?

[10:02] Takeru     I hear he once teamed up with an inspector     to ruffle feathers in the police force, [10:07] Takeru     and I doubt money or     pressure will silence him. [10:10] Bao     Want him gone? [10:13] Takeru     No, we'll leave him to his own devices [10:15] Takeru     and hope that he exposes     Polka's secrets for us. [10:20] Takeru     Of course, [10:22] Takeru     my grandfather seems to be     making moves of his own. [10:31] Polka     So, you and Sayo-san will use this room. [10:34] Xiaoyu     I'm sorry for making you carry things. [10:36] Misaki     Don't sweat it. [10:38] Misaki     Anyway, are you really gonna     sleep in this cubbyhole? [10:41] Xiaoyu     Yes!

[11:27] Takumi     Seriously, Polka. What are     we gonna do about those two? [11:30] Polka     Good question, since we start     fortune telling again tomorrow. [11:33] Polka     What should we tell them? [11:44] Xiaoyu     I don't know why His Lordship trusts you, [11:48] Xiaoyu     but I'll expose your whole plot, [11:51] Xiaoyu     you impostor Polka Shinoyama. [11:54] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     What do you mean, Your Lordship?! [11:57] (Flashback) Rozan     Just what I said. [11:59] (Flashback) Rozan     Would you head over to Shinjuku with Sayo? [12:08] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     I understand, Your Lordship! You want     me to eliminate the Polka impostor! [12:13] (Flashback) Rozan     No, numskull, the opposite.     You're a Shinoyama bodyguard now. [12:18] (Flashback) Rozan     You don't need to do dirty jobs. [12:21] (Flashback) Rozan     That Polka is a fake, but he's not our enemy. [12:25] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     What do you mean? Is the real Polka alive? [12:29] (Flashback) Rozan     Oh, well... You could say he's all right. [12:33] (Flashback) Rozan     Anyway, I can't explain,     but I'll vouch for that boy. [12:39] (Flashback) Rozan     Keep Sayo and the fake Polka safe. [12:42] (Flashback) Rozan     I know you can do that, Xiaoyu. [12:46] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     I guess I'll have to. Your Lordship's     orders are absolute, after all. [12:52] (Flashback) Rozan     I mean, you can refuse if you don't like it. [12:55] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     Oh, fine! I'll do it! [12:56] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     Just relax and lie down, Your Lordship! [13:00] Xiaoyu     This is my chance. I'll exterminate     this pest creeping up on His Lordship. [13:07] Xiaoyu     And the real Polka, too,     while I'm at it. If he's still alive. [13:12] Xiaoyu     I've never accepted that     weakling as His Lordship's son. [13:18] Xiaoyu     I would be a much more useful son     to Rozan-sama than Polka ever could. [13:30] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     I'm... not broken... yet. [13:35] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     He'll never work again. [13:38] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     Running into Agakura on his     first job was bad luck. [13:41] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     I suppose we should be glad that     he only lost all four limbs. [13:46] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     Xiaoyu will serve as a ting-hu from now on. [13:50] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     It can't be! [13:51] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     No, Dad! I can still work! I'm alive! [13:55] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     No! It's not true! Help me, Dad! [13:59] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     Stop! Stop! Help! [14:01] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     I'll crush you! I'll kill     you if you touch me! [14:04] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     Die, die, die, die, die! [14:06] (Flashback) Rozan     Hey, what's a ting-hu? [14:09] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     Rozan-sama. I'm sorry you heard that. [14:13] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     True to its name, a ting hu or "garden pot" is a     type of vessel passed down in our clan. [14:17] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     Some of the poisons we employ [14:19] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     require fungi that grow only in     the entrails of living children. [14:25] (Flashback) Rozan     Don't be barbaric. [14:28] (Flashback) Rozan     Is that any way to treat your own son? [14:31] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     Respectfully, our clan are not people.     Whatever our bonds, we are all tools. [14:38] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     To show compassion for a broken tool     would be to neglect our duties. [14:45] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     This is for your own protection.     Do not question it. [14:51] (Flashback) Rozan     I see. [14:52] (Flashback) Rozan     Well, if you insist he's a tool,     then you won't mind if I buy him. [14:57] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     Huh? [14:58] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     What? [14:59] (Flashback) Rozan     It's a little late to say you     "can't sell your precious family." [15:03] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     He is worthless as one of our hands,     but he has value as a ting-hu. [15:08] (Flashback) Xiaoyu's Father     I can't give him up cheaply. [15:11] (Flashback) Rozan     Yeah, I'll make it worth your while. [15:15] (Flashback) Rozan     I'll give you priority access     to my group's latest tech. [15:19] (Flashback) Rozan     That way, you won't need those     bullshit poisons to make a living. [15:25] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     What is this guy trying to say? [15:28] (Flashback) Rozan     Don't mistake me for a Good Samaritan. [15:31] (Flashback) Rozan     I just want a guinea pig     for my latest prosthetics. [15:35] (Flashback) Rozan     And then... Well, that can wait     until you're back on your feet. [15:41] (Flashback) Rozan     Maybe you can give my     family someone to talk to. [15:45] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     Oh. How long has it been [15:50] (Flashback) Xiaoyu     since someone smiled at me? [15:57] Xiaoyu     Your Lordship... [16:00] Clarissa     The Shinoyamas aren't just rich. [16:03] Clarissa     They're well-connected in both     reputable and criminal society. [16:08] Clarissa     I hear they even have ties to other     groups of assassins like ours. [16:12] Izuna     Meaning that whoever hired us     to kill Polka wasn't a Shinoyama? [16:18] Koruto     If they've got hitmen on call, it'd be     easier to have it done in-house. Bang! [16:25] Clarissa     I wouldn't be so sure. [16:28] Clarissa     If I were in the client's position,     I would have used a third party, too. [16:33] Clarissa     It would be one thing if the whole     Shinoyama family hated Polka, [16:37] Clarissa     but their patriarch, Rozan, dotes on his son. [16:42] Clarissa     Asking the family assassins to kill     him would be asking for betrayal. [16:46] Izuna     So, what kind of people are the     Shinoyamas' pet assassins, anyway? [16:53] Clarissa     Well, [16:54] Clarissa     the Lei family has bases in Shanghai,     Hong Kong, and Yokohama. [17:00] Clarissa     It's not a rare surname, but the Leis that     the Shinoyamas work with are special. [17:06] Clarissa     They're called Heilei, "Black Lightning,"     and they mix old and new methods. [17:11] Clarissa     From ancient poisons to the     Shinoyama Group's latest tech, [17:19] Clarissa     and everything in between. [17:24] Takumi     Why not stick to business as usual for now? [17:26] Polka     You're right. Sayo-san should     already know that I tell fortunes. [17:31] Takumi     Yesterday, you mentioned the     "Venomous Dragon of Destruction." [17:35] Takumi     What other dragons are there? [17:37] Polka     Well, Malfy the Home-wrecker Dragon takes     beautiful human forms to seduce royalty. [17:43] Polka     Malfy was feared as a menace [17:46] Polka     but fell in love with the     general of the Dazzling Corps. [17:49] Polka     I think they eloped together     when the empire fell. [17:53] Misaki     Running off with a dragon?     Talk about romantic! [17:56] Polka     There's also Goronzon the Vapor Dragon,     Marm the Round Blade Dragon, and so on. [18:02] Polka     Dragon parts sell for high prices. [18:04] Polka     And to make a dragon zombie,     you need to buy one whole. [18:08] Xiaoyu     He never shuts up about this     video game or manga or whatever! [18:11] Xiaoyu     Maybe a light novel?! [18:13] Xiaoyu     What's wrong with him?!     Is he still in junior high?! [18:17] Xiaoyu     And what's this rattling     noise I keep hearing? [18:20] Xiaoyu     It sounds like a bunch of dancing skeletons. [18:22] Misaki     Yay! Yay! [18:24] Takumi     Isn't that a waste of magic? [18:24] Misaki     Yay! Yay! [18:25] Misaki     Yay! Yay! [18:26] Polka     This doesn't take much. [18:29] Xiaoyu     Are they playing video games?! [18:31] Xiaoyu     It doesn't really sound like it, though. SIGN    Hmm... If only we could quantify your mana reserves and consumption like in a video game. [18:33] Xiaoyu     I can hear them writing something. [18:36] Xiaoyu     Maybe a tabletop RPG?     Is that rattling noise the dice? [18:40] Polka     Anyway. [18:41] Polka     That boy, Xiaoyu, seems     really devoted to his work. [18:45] Polka     It seems like he's still     awake watching Sayo-san. [18:48] Takumi     He's not even sleeping? [18:50] Polka     No, he's outside Sayo-san's door. [18:52] Xiaoyu     He detected me again*. [18:55] Xiaoyu     But there are no surveillance*     cameras in here. [19:00] Takumi     I should head home. [19:01] Xiaoyu     I see. So, he wants me to know     that he's seen through me. [19:07] Xiaoyu     Fine, then. I'll show everyone     what you really are. [19:11] Xiaoyu     I swear it on my Heilei blood.     No, in Rozan-sama's name. SIGN    Shinjuku     Police Station [19:17] Iwanome     Okay, pay close attention.

[19:23] Iwanome     He was with Girl A, who left footprints     at the scene of the human knots. [19:30] Aikawa     Who drew that picture? [19:32] Arase     I did. [19:33] Iwanome     Polka's mother, Kanon Shinoyama,     is already deceased. [19:37] Iwanome     I'd like to call him a spoiled rich kid, [19:38] Iwanome     but there's apparently more to it than that. [19:44] Arase     Polka Shinoyama is currently away from home. [19:48] Arase     In addition to visiting Clarissa's bar, [19:50] Arase     he admitted to having a friendly     relationship with Takumi Kuruya. SIGN    Working with the Shinoyamas? [19:55] Iwanome     And he made another strange remark to Arase. [19:59] (Flashback) Polka     My parents sold me, so I wouldn't know. [20:03] Iwanome     We don't know what he meant by that or     if it has anything to do with this case. [20:09] Iwanome     But, true or false, words people     blurt out always mean something. [20:14] Iwanome     Find out what it is and push, and you     start to see people's real faces. SIGN    Working with the Shinoyamas? [20:19] Iwanome     So, I looked into young Polka's movements.

[00:03] Iwanome     As much as I'd like to interview     you about yesterday's fire, [00:08] Iwanome     we're off duty. [00:10] Iwanome     It's our lunch break. [00:13] Iwanome     So I thought I'd get my fortune told. [00:16] Iwanome     How about you, Arase? [00:18] Arase     I think I'll pass. [00:21] Arase     What if he tells me I'm so     unlucky I should quit the force? [00:26] Iwanome     Nothing's ever easy with you. [00:30] Iwanome     So, how about just me, then? [00:34] Polka     Very well. [00:35] Polka     Show him to the next room. [00:37] Misaki     Okay! [00:38] Misaki     Right this way! Follow me! [02:14] Iwanome     Still, a student telling fortunes? [02:17] Iwanome     That's not a problem if you register      your business within a month... [02:22] Iwanome     But forget all that red tape. [02:26] Iwanome     Do me a favor, kid. [02:29] Iwanome     Set this poor civil servant     on the right path. [02:33] Polka     I can't locate people     who escaped from prison. [02:37] Iwanome     Huh? [02:39] Iwanome     Well, that's our job anyway. [02:43] Iwanome     We'll figure something out. [02:45] Iwanome     Besides, I'd rather try to prevent murders...     If you can see the future and all. [02:51] Polka     My readings aren't precognition. [02:54] Polka     I merely trace paths. [02:58] Polka     Both the path you have walked,     and the infinite paths spread out before you. [03:04] Sayo     He never looks that way at home. [03:06] Xiaoyu     Wow. He really looks the part. [03:10] Xiaoyu     I guess he's seen his share     of trouble, at least. [03:14] Xiaoyu     If the fake Polka is doing something shady, [03:18] Xiaoyu     I could snitch to these guys.     They seem like cops. [03:22] Polka     I suppose I don't need to     divine your profession. [03:26] Iwanome     Well, it's not like I can hide it. [03:29] Polka     Let me look closer. [03:31] Polka     Around you, I see defenders     of many people's safety. [03:36] Polka     Countless hands that both     chastise and shelter young boys. [03:41] Polka     Against those who wield malicious blades,     they are shields. [03:44] Iwanome     So, he already knows I work     for Community Safety. [03:45] Polka     At times, they become cords of     steel to bind those weapons. [03:47] Iwanome     Takumi Kuruya is probably pulling     this info from somewhere. [03:50] Polka     There is one who feels concern for you [03:52] Iwanome     I'd guess he's got an earpiece     hidden in that hood. [03:52] Polka     and wishes for your own safety. [03:55] Takumi     Iwanome from the Community Safety Division? [03:58] Takumi     Damn it. [03:59] Takumi     We just keep running into trouble. [04:03] Polka     In your dealings with your     ancestors and family, [04:06] Polka     you will see many cards depicting     members of the opposite sex. [04:10] Iwanome     He even knows about the matchmaking? [04:14] Polka     I see you still bear a     grievous scar from your past. [04:19] Polka     A wound as grave as a torn-off wing. [04:23] Polka     So long as that wound weighs you down,     your path will never escape the seabed. [04:29] Iwanome     Well, isn't that fascinating? [04:33] Iwanome     So, Mr. Fortune Teller,     will you tell me how to heal myself? [04:38] Polka     Do you wish to be healed? [04:42] Iwanome     I wonder. [04:44] Iwanome     But if the person who gave me     that wound has a path, [04:49] Iwanome     I'd love for you to tell me about it. [04:51] Polka     Your torn-off wing shall     spell out a signpost for you. [04:56] Iwanome     Huh? [04:59] Iwanome     Whoa! [05:00] Iwanome     Th-That one scared me a little.

It's the same     as the writing I heard last night! [05:17] Xiaoyu     I get it now. [05:18] Xiaoyu     He was practicing this magic     trick during that whole chat! [05:30] Arase     Iwa-san?!

[06:06] (Flashback) Hosorogi     But never show this symbol to anyone else. [06:09] (Flashback) Hosorogi     It is both the signpost we must follow [06:14] (Flashback) Hosorogi     and a one-way ticket to death. [06:18] Iwanome     Why did you draw this?! [06:20] Polka     I merely showed you the path. [06:24] Polka     Obey the dictates of your own heart. [06:33] Iwanome     Sorry! My bad! [06:35] Iwanome     I didn't mean to scare you! [06:38] Iwanome     Here you go. [06:39] Iwanome     This is your fee. [06:44] Polka     Um... I can't accept this much money. [06:46] Iwanome     Don't sweat it. I threw in extra     because I wrinkled your outfit. [06:50] Iwanome     Anyway, I think we're done here for today. [06:54] Iwanome     Bye. Be seeing you, Polka Shinoyama-kun. [06:59] Polka     The Corpse God. [07:02] Polka     The one who told your fortune here     is not Polka Shinoyama, [07:07] Polka     but the Corpse God. [07:09] Iwanome     If you say so. I guess a fortune     teller needs a good name. [07:14] Iwanome     But... [07:16] Iwanome     I don't know about that one. [07:17] Iwanome     It makes you sound like a troublemaker. [07:24] Polka     What did he mean by "troublemaker"? [07:27] Sayo     Do you know those guys? [07:30] Misaki     They're policemen. [07:31] Sayo     Huh. It seemed like they     came because of the fire. [07:35] Xiaoyu     The way that officer acted wasn't normal. [07:39] Xiaoyu     What was written on that piece of paper? [07:42] Xiaoyu     It might be tied to the fake Polka's secrets. [07:46] Xiaoyu     Maybe I should do some digging. [07:49] Xiaoyu     Young miss. [07:51] Xiaoyu     I'll run out to buy us dinner.

[11:30] Misaki     What, really? [11:32] Polka     Haunted people aren't all that common. [11:35] Polka     In those cases, [11:37] Polka     I use the information Takumi-kun     digs up to offer advice. [11:41] Takumi     Wait, so you wrote something random     down and it happened to set him off? [11:46] Polka     No, the writing was— [11:47] Iwanome     So, why did you hide it? [11:50] Clarissa     Oh? What secrets do you     think I'm keeping from you? [11:55] Iwanome     To be honest, I'd given up hope. [11:58] Iwanome     But, yeah...

I've been the     only one stuck playing the clown. [13:40] Iwanome     Well, if I'm pissed off at you,     it's more because of Polka Shinoyama. [13:45] Clarissa     Has he done something to upset you? [13:48] Iwanome     The point of the Community Safety     Division isn't to shepherd children. [13:53] Iwanome     It's to protect their past, present,     and future. All three together. [13:58] Iwanome     That was the policy, way back     when Hosorogi-san was in charge. [14:04] Clarissa     My, that's strange. [14:06] Clarissa     Are you suggesting that Hosorogi-san     recruited Polka—a child? [14:11] Iwanome     Out of desperation, maybe?     Or it was all your idea. [14:16] Iwanome     If it's the former, I've got some complaints.     All the more reason I want a reunion. [14:20] Iwanome     We can't go dragging kids     into our screwed-up problems. [14:25] Clarissa     I certainly don't recall recruiting any. [14:29] Clarissa     As for Polka Shinoyama-kun,     I simply rent a building to him as a favor. [14:34] Clarissa     It's my chance to connect with a     key figure in the Shinoyama Group. [14:38] Clarissa     Do you think I'd let such     a juicy fruit pass me by? [14:41] Iwanome     I see. A self-interested favor     would make a convincing motive. [14:47] Iwanome     But you'd never have told him about     Hosorogi-san if that were the real story. [14:53] Iwanome     What if they got curious     and did some digging? [14:55] Iwanome     That kid would be in danger,     and so would the girl in glasses. [14:59] Iwanome     After all, this was bad enough to     force Hosorogi-san into hiding. [15:04] Clarissa     You sound so certain that     Hosorogi-san is still alive. [15:08] Iwanome     I've received too much info that     would make sense only to me. [15:13] Iwanome     Fine, then. Play dumb if you want. [15:16] Iwanome     But pass on the message. [15:18] Iwanome     This time, I'll clean the rot out of the police, [15:21] Iwanome     and make a place for     Hosorogi-san to come back to. [15:27] Izuna     Clarissa, what was that about? [15:28] Clarissa     Never you mind. [15:30] Koruto     But what if Polka-kun     found Hosorogi-san's...? [15:33] Clarissa     It doesn't matter. [15:35] Clarissa     That old senpai of mine is far too      obsessed with money to think of me. [15:40] Xiaoyu     Hosorogi and Clarissa. [15:43] Xiaoyu     I'd better investigate this bar's staff. [15:48] Xiaoyu     I'll crush every last pest that     tries to get near His Lordship. [15:54] Takumi     A police IA inspector?! [15:56] Polka     What's that? [15:58] Takumi     A cop who investigates police     corruption and stuff. [16:01] Polka     Oh, I see. There were similar     positions in my world, too. SIGN    Imperial Dazzling Corps          Office of Audit and Arrest          Deputy Commander          Jangrad Dimorigh XIV [16:06] Misaki     So, you used to be those     detectives' boss, Hosorogi-san? SIGN    We were in different divisions. SIGN    But we knew each other. [16:12] Takumi     For real? [16:14] Takumi     I can't believe this. Have you     ever acted like an inspector? SIGN    Heh heh heh...     They called me "the delinquent inspector"     and "the filth that hunts dirt." [16:22] Misaki     That's so cool! [16:23] Takumi     Is it, though? [16:25] Polka     So, what did you write on     that paper, Hosorogi-san? SIGN    If you're curious,     pay me for the info. [16:32] Takumi     Are you sure you used to be an inspector?! SIGN    My fee is one million!     I won't take a yen less! [16:35] Polka     But I need that money... SIGN    Oh, there are endless ways to make money.     You're in good hands with me. [16:39] Takumi     What makes you so confident? [16:41] Takumi     Anyway, whatever you wrote is the     reason that cop grabbed Polka. SIGN    Indeed!      For that, I humbly apologize. SIGN    I hate to drag you into this,     but it involves one of my regrets. [16:51] Polka     In that case, I guess I don't have a choice. [16:53] Takumi     What do you mean? [16:55] Polka     In exchange for services,      I'll resolve some of Hosorogi-san's regrets. [17:00] Polka     That was our pact. [17:02] Takumi     Without regrets,     won't Hosorogi-san just move on? SIGN    I'm not as ungrateful as all that! [17:09] Polka     If those officials work well,     will you have one less regret? SIGN    Well, I can only hope it works. [17:15] Polka     I suppose so. [17:16] Hosorogi     Regrets, huh? [17:18] Hosorogi     One of these days,     I'll have to face up to Lisa.

[18:26] Grocer     Now then, [18:28] Grocer     let's talk price. [18:30] Grocer     I'll accept information worth     beginning to tell you for. [18:35] Solitaire     The Grocer— [18:38] Solitaire     According to metropolitan police records, [18:40] Solitaire     the name originates in a merchant     family with a century of history. [18:43] Solitaire     And now this man, arrested by Tsubaki Iwanome, [18:48] Solitaire     is supposedly the fifth-generation     owner of this family business. [18:54] Solitaire     He is also an anomaly in this     strictly regulated prison. [18:59] Solitaire     The fact that this space is permitted     speaks to the Grocer's true nature. [19:06] Solitaire     The state of this solitary cell [19:08] Solitaire     testifies to the power that he     gained by dealing with the state. [19:15] Solitaire     It is neither the pen nor the sword, but trade     which is the most blatant form of might. [19:20] Solitaire     Everything is on the table, from human     lives to the fates of nations, [19:25] Solitaire     as well as goods—mass-produced,     limited, stolen, lost, and sacred. [19:30] Solitaire     The sole exception is their own minds. [19:35] Solitaire     Although I'm not fond of violence, [19:38] Solitaire     when I must fight,     I fight with playing cards. [19:43] Solitaire     And why... [19:45] Solitaire     ...do you think... [19:47] Solitaire     ...that all people have used     cards as weapons since antiquity? [19:51] Grocer     Pardon our ignorance, but our     store knows of no such history. [19:55] Solitaire     The answer is simple: [19:57] Solitaire     Because it's cool! [20:00] Grocer     I see. [20:01] Grocer     You've wasted my time.     That will cost you dearly. [20:05] Solitaire     What?! [20:06] Solitaire     Not so fast! [20:07] Solitaire     You asked for information to begin our talk,     so I gave you my very best! [20:13] Grocer     Your idea of quality mystifies me. [20:16] Grocer     In this store, at least, the Phantom     Solitaire's stock has plummeted. SIGN    Solitaire [20:20] Solitaire     Be reasonable! [20:22] Grocer     I wish you would. [20:23] Solitaire     Fine, then! One more exclusive tidbit! [20:26] Grocer     Oh? [20:27] Solitaire     Rubbing your hands with oil slightly     reduces the risk of paper cuts. SIGN    GOOEY SIGN    SLIMY SIGN    STICKY [20:33] Grocer     Why not just wear rubber     gloves or use hand cream? [20:37] Grocer     Learning that a master criminal like     you is actually a complete fool [20:41] Grocer     is worth something, I suppose. [20:44] Solitaire     Mind your manners. [20:45] Grocer     Please allow us to offer     you all we can in exchange. SIGN    Tasty Stick [20:49] Grocer     This should do. [20:51] Solitaire     Thirty yen?! [20:52] Solitaire     All right! [20:53] Solitaire     I'll take them because they're tasty,     but you can't distract me with food! [20:56] Solitaire     Give me the information I came here for! [21:00] Grocer     The symbols on playing     cards all have meaning. [21:03] Solitaire     Yes? [21:04] Grocer     On French cards, spades are swords,     clubs are clubs, [21:09] Grocer     hearts are chalices,     and diamonds are coins. [21:13] Grocer     Almost every symbol in this world,     no matter how simplified, [21:18] Grocer     is likewise imbued with some significance. [21:22] Grocer     For example, [21:23] Grocer     this diagonal line signifies a sword. [21:27] Grocer     An old knight order in central and     eastern Europe used a similar insignia, [21:32] Grocer     but the two are completely unrelated. [21:35] Grocer     Now, that concludes your free sample. [21:38] Grocer     You must purchase more with     information of equal value. [21:41] Solitaire     Very well. [21:43] Solitaire     This is for my performance.     I'll pay whatever you ask. [21:46] Grocer     Are you certain? [21:48] Grocer     We adjust our prices to our     customers' circumstances. [21:53] Grocer     And by "circumstances," we do not mean [21:55] Grocer     the contents of their wallets. [22:09] Male Announcer     Well, today is the day that     the Phantom Solitaire set.

[22:27] Sayo     Don't worry. Bedroom security officers     don't need to make that distinction. [22:32] Takumi     What's reassuring about that? [22:34] Misaki     Good morning! [22:35] Sayo     Morning. [22:44] Sayo     Hey, what's that? [22:47] Takumi     Hm? [22:51] Misaki     Oh, wow! [22:55] Male Announcer     Oh, it looks like something     just happened in Shinjuku!

[02:52] Arase     And Polka Shinoyama drew this? [02:54] Iwanome     Yeah. [02:55] Iwanome     If Solitaire is behind this, he must     be mixed up with Hosorogi-san, too. [03:00] Iwanome     Or maybe with the people     Hosorogi-san was after. [03:03] Arase     Either way, we keep running into this symbol. [03:08] Arase     And it's all five years after     Inspector Hosorogi disappeared. [03:12] Arase     Shouldn't we assume that's     more than a coincidence? [03:15] Iwanome     Good point. [03:17] Iwanome     It's also possible that Solitaire     has me in his cross hairs. [03:21] Iwanome     Like, what if he was watching when     Polka Shinoyama read my fortune? [03:27] Iwanome     We can't rule anything out yet.     We need more info. [03:32] Yamada     Oh, there you are!     Tsubaki-chan, Tsubaki-chan! [03:35] Iwanome     Yamada-san?

[03:46] Newscaster     The metropolitan government     and police have announced [03:49] Newscaster     that no blimps are cleared     to fly in the impacted area. [03:53] Newscaster     Government insiders consider this     unlikely to be an act of terrorism. [03:54] Solitaire     The web is probably better informed     than the news at this point. [03:57] Newscaster     It may be an event staged by an extreme     collective of foreign artists. [03:58] Solitaire     Still, this was a splurge, even for me. [04:02] Solitaire     I can't believe I sprang for blimps! [04:07] (Flashback) Solitaire     So? [04:08] (Flashback) Solitaire     How much does the information I want cost? [04:13] (Flashback) Grocer     Three trillion yen. [04:17] (Flashback) Solitaire     Excusez-moi? [04:20] (Flashback) Grocer     Three trillion yen. [04:21] (Flashback) Grocer     It would be a bit more, but     for you, sir, I'll round down. [04:26] (Flashback) Solitaire     Wait just a minute. [04:29] (Flashback) Solitaire     How is that reasonable?! [04:30] (Flashback) Solitaire     You only charged me 30 million for     three minutes of signal jacking! [04:34] (Flashback) Grocer     As I informed you earlier, sir, [04:37] (Flashback) Grocer     we adjust our prices to our     customers' circumstances, [04:41] (Flashback) Grocer     by which we mean the contents of their lives. [04:46] (Flashback) Solitaire     I don't understand. Why does     that make it three trillion? [04:49] (Flashback) Grocer     If you seriously devoted yourself to     earning money by any means possible, [04:55] (Flashback) Grocer     we estimate that you would acquire     six trillion yen over your lifetime. [05:00] (Flashback) Grocer     It's a simple calculation, but this symbol     is worth spending half your life for. [05:07] (Flashback) Grocer     But please, don't misunderstand me. [05:10] (Flashback) Grocer     This price is only for you. [05:12] (Flashback) Grocer     If another customer made this request,     we might charge only a few dozen yen. [05:19] (Flashback) Grocer     To them, you see, this symbol's true     meaning would be merely a tall tale. [05:24] (Flashback) Grocer     A way to pass time, only as     valuable as a gumball to chew. [05:29] (Flashback) Grocer     But you are different. [05:32] (Flashback) Grocer     We guarantee that knowledge of this     symbol will shape your destiny. [05:37] (Flashback) Grocer     You might call it a miracle drug     just for the Phantom Solitaire. [05:41] (Flashback) Grocer     If mishandled, it will     poison and destroy you. [05:46] (Flashback) Grocer     For this prescription, [05:49] (Flashback) Grocer     three billion yen hardly strikes     us as an unreasonable price. [05:52] (Flashback) Solitaire     I see. [05:54] (Flashback) Solitaire     Your predecessor trusted you, and so will I. [05:58] (Flashback) Solitaire     But our negotiation ends here. [06:00] (Flashback) Grocer     A wise choice, sir. [06:02] (Flashback) Solitaire     After that buildup, hearing the     answer from you would be a letdown! [06:07] (Flashback) Solitaire     I'll find it out for myself! [06:10] (Flashback) Solitaire     Although I will pay for your help. [06:14] (Flashback) Solitaire     I'd like to fly several blimps.     How much will that cost? [06:18] Solitaire     Oh-ho! A human rope to tether an ad balloon? [06:23] Solitaire     Now there's an i— [06:31] Rinne     Um, did I hit him? [06:33] Hiiro     You missed. Look and you'll see.

[10:18] Takumi     If worse comes to worst,     could you wipe her memory with a spell? [10:22] Polka     I can make a spirit in my service possess     someone and remove parts of their memory. SIGN    Soul [10:28] Polka     The spirit would serve as a scalpel to      amputate a piece of the person's soul, SIGN    Memory [10:32] Polka     and that would indirectly     affect their physical brain.

[10:49] Polka     If this world's humans are     different in the wrong ways, [10:52] Polka     a slight mistake could leave     the target broken. [10:56] Takumi     I guess we'd better not risk it, then. [10:59] Polka     Of course, if we knew someone was an enemy, [11:02] Polka     cutting corners and destroying their     minds could make things easier. [11:07] Takumi     Don't tell me... you messed     with those goons' memories? [11:12] Polka     I did hold back. [11:14] Polka     They won't be completely broken. [11:17] Takumi     Man, sometimes you scare the crap out of me. [11:22] Takumi     What? [11:23] Polka     I'm kind of happy that you said "sometimes." [11:28] Takumi     Well, unlike Misaki, I didn't     actually get killed, so— [11:32] Takumi     Hey, wait... [11:34] Takumi     Where's Misaki?! SIGN    See no shark [11:44] Sayo     Do you need something? [11:45] Misaki     Let's chat. [11:48] Sayo     About what? [11:49] Misaki     Didn't that story make you wonder [11:53] Misaki     who killed Polka-kun? [11:59] Misaki     Or does that not bother you, [12:02] Misaki     because you already know? [12:05] Sayo     I'd rather talk about sharks. [12:09] Misaki     Come on. Don't change the subject. [12:12] Misaki     If I told you I killed Polka-kun, [12:17] Misaki     what would you do? [12:19] Sayo     Oh, okay. So that's it. [12:25] Sayo     You want someone to chew you out, right? [12:28] Sayo     I'm guessing Polka forgave you. [12:32] Sayo     He's a gentle kid. [12:34] Sayo     He'd watch a man-eating shark     get killed at the end of a movie [12:37] Sayo     and say he felt bad for the shark,     as well as the people it ate. [12:43] Sayo     I'm going to ask for the details     of what happened later, [12:46] Sayo     but I'd bet that Polka     forgave you for killing him. [12:51] Sayo     You still haven't made your     peace with that, have you? [12:55] Sayo     So you want me to lash out at you.     It'd be part of your atonement. [13:01] Sayo     You're sly, but I don't mind. I forgive you. [13:06] Sayo     I won't chew you out, though. [13:17] Misaki     You're sharp. I bet you'd     make a great detective. [13:22] Misaki     Aren't you scared? [13:24] Misaki     I'm the assassin who slit Polka-kun's throat. [13:28] Sayo     You don't scare me. [13:30] Misaki     Why not? [13:32] Sayo     No one who likes shark     movies is a bad person. [13:38] Misaki     Umm... [13:40] Sayo     It was only for a little while, but I liked     talking about shark stuff with you. [13:46] Sayo     A bad person could never chat     about sharks and shark movies! [13:50] Sayo     You may have slit my relative's throat,     but sharks will forgive you! SIGN    His relative had     more of a screw     loose than he'd     thought. SIGN    Faced with that fact,     the soul of     Polka Shinoyama SIGN    decided to     pretend he     hadn't heard     anything. SIGN    Hear no shark! [14:01] Sayo     Plus, you saved Kazuki and Shizuki. [14:06] Sayo     That's my second reason,     although it doesn't count for much. [14:15] Misaki     Really? That part's the afterthought? [14:19] Misaki     Oh, jeez. [14:21] Misaki     I don't even know what to say anymore. [14:27] Sayo     For now, [14:29] Sayo     say something about sharks. [14:33] Misaki     So you see, SIGN    Silky Smooth SIGN    Soft and Springy [14:34] Misaki     I tried to find out if Sayo-chan     paid for that hit on Polka-kun, [14:39] Misaki     but I screwed up! [14:41] Misaki     Still, I'm pretty sure she     had nothing to do with it. [14:45] Takumi     Yeah, yeah. Whatever. [14:47] Takumi     What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? [14:49] Takumi     The only thing you proved is that     she's out of her goddamn mind. [14:54] Sayo     How rude. I just don't care much     about anything except sharks. [14:59] Sayo     So I wouldn't hire someone to kill Polka. [15:01] Takumi     I don't get your logic. [15:04] Sayo     Isn't it obvious?! SIGN    GLARE SIGN    GLARE [15:05] Sayo     If I killed him, I'd turn     him into shark food! Duh! [15:09] Takumi     I wish that wasn't so convincing. [15:12] Takumi     Don't tell me you took that     plushie into the bath? [15:15] Sayo     Not into the water. [15:17] Sayo     But I did borrow your Sharkborg     without asking. Sorry. [15:21] Takumi     With family like this,     you must've had it rough. [15:25] Sayo     I've never met that little guy before, [15:27] Sayo     although I do aspire to     make all sharks my family. [15:31] Takumi     Wait, you mean you didn't know     when you took him in there? [15:35] Sayo     U-U-U-U-Un... SIGN    THUD [15:38] Sayo     Unbelievable. [15:40] Takumi     Yeah, getting seen changing can't have     been fun, even if you had no idea. SIGN    I didn't peek! [15:44] Sayo     That doesn't matter! [15:46] Polka     It doesn't? [15:47] Sayo     How could one of my     relatives become a shark?! SIGN    I didn't peek! [15:49] Sayo     I thought for sure two souls were     fighting for control of that body! [15:54] Polka     Rozan-san said the same thing. [15:56] Sayo     All right, then! [15:57] Sayo     Polka can borrow my body, so sharkify me now! [16:01] Polka     What?! Wh-Why?! SIGN    Totally     lost SIGN    Speak no shark SIGN    Polka's soul chose to let sleeping dogs lie. [16:08] Takumi     Seriously, though.     What's our next move, Polka?

[16:37] Takumi     We'd better find out if some shadowy     organization really does use it, then. [16:43] Takumi     I mean, Solitaire could just     have been making shit up. [16:46] Misaki     You mean, that Solitaire guy is another     sorcerer from Polka-kun's world? [16:52] Polka     No. He wanted information about the emblem, [16:55] Polka     so I don't think he could be from my world. [16:59] Takumi     Can't you check with an identification spell?

[17:42] Polka     The bones are temporary vessels     I happened to find nearby. [17:47] Misaki     Then, do you know any     ghosts who can talk more? [17:52] Polka     I... do. [17:54] Polka     But I set most of them free before the     Order's last subjugation unit arrived. [18:00] Polka     Some of them kept their pacts with me anyway.

[18:15] Sayo     Call them whenever you want,     and do it with a smile. [18:18] Sayo     If they get mad or hit you, just apologize. [18:23] Polka     Do you think... they'd forgive me?

[10:37] (Flashback) Izliz     It's the same thing. [10:39] (Flashback) Izliz     Raising that dimwitted pupil was     just about all I did for the empire. [10:45] (Flashback) Romelka     That's still an achievement to be proud of! [10:48] (Flashback) Romelka     A master and apprentice simultaneously     being court sorcerers is almost unheard of. [10:51] (Flashback) Romelka     Even I had to wait my turn     until my teacher retired! [10:55] (Flashback) Romelka     The Corpse God was one of the five best, [10:58] (Flashback) Romelka     and he took his necromancy in a     different direction from yours. [11:02] (Flashback) Romelka     The way you were two sides of the     same coin made my heart skip a beat! [11:06] (Flashback) Romelka     Or maybe sent mana rushing to my leaves.     Anyway, it was to die for! [11:09] (Flashback) Izliz     I see a century hasn't     slowed your tongue one bit. [11:14] (Flashback) Izliz     I suppose magical longevity makes     one proportionately slow to mature. [11:21] (Flashback) Izliz     Perhaps my fool of an apprentice [11:23] (Flashback) Izliz     remained a boy to the bitter end. [11:27] (Flashback) Romelka     What's wrong with never growing up? [11:31] (Flashback) Romelka     The Corpse God is normally such a nice boy. [11:34] (Flashback) Romelka     So different from the way he is in battle... [11:37] (Flashback) Izliz     A nice boy, is he? [11:40] (Flashback) Izliz     You have it wrong. Completely wrong. [11:45] (Flashback) Romelka     Huh? [11:45] (Flashback) Izliz     That dunce surpasses me in     only one thing: empathy. [11:52] (Flashback) Romelka     Empathy? [11:53] (Flashback) Izliz     He never realized this himself,     but he has almost no will of his own. [11:59] (Flashback) Izliz     He gives himself over entirely     to those he feels close to. [12:04] (Flashback) Izliz     I suppose that's why he sympathizes     with the dead far better than I can. [12:10] (Flashback) Izliz     And that is why... that is the reason why... [12:14] (Flashback) Izliz     Although he doesn't mind being dragged     through the mud one bit, [12:17] (Flashback) Izliz     when the "home" he depends on is defiled, [12:20] (Flashback) Izliz     then he... then the Corpse God... [12:25] (Flashback) Izliz     loses all control. [12:42] Yatsu     I'm supposed to watch the area around     this building for who knows what. [12:47] Yatsu     A schoolgirl in a raincoat when     it's not raining? Kind of fishy. [12:52] Yatsu     I remember the Gator Sisters, though.     I can't let my guard down because she's a girl. [13:00] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     I-I'm so sorry! [13:03] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     You see, our dog ran away, and my     dad and I went out looking for him. [13:08] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     I think he went into that building. [13:12] Tozawa     Hmm... [13:13] Yatsu     And where's your dad now? [13:15] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     I called to say I found Toyomaru—that's     our dog—so he should be here soon. [13:20] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     Oh, there he is. Dad! [13:24] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2     What do you want with my daughter? [13:26] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     Dad, don't glare like that.     These guys are cops! [13:31] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2     Excuse me. My daughter and I     are out looking for our dog. [13:35] Yatsu     So, why the raincoat? [13:37] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     So I don't get dirty searching     nooks and crannies. [13:41] Polka     No. There are no living dogs near here. [13:46] Polka     The girl speaking with the officers,     and the man facing Lemmings on the roof... [13:53] Polka     I recognize the hues of both their souls. [13:55] Polka     They asked me about the emblem     when I told their fortunes. [14:00] Polka     This is no coincidence. [14:02] Polka     I'll expand my Temple slightly. [14:13] Office Worker 2     What the...? [14:15] Hostess     Hey, does it feel chilly to you? [14:22] (Flashback) Izliz     We'll review the basics today, boy. [14:27] (Flashback) Izliz     Starting with the construction     of a Netherworld Overflow Temple. [14:32] (Flashback) Izliz     Have you ever felt afraid of a forest     at night, cloaked in silence? [14:37] (Flashback) Izliz     Or experienced a sense of the sublime      merely by standing in a shrine? [14:43] (Flashback) Izliz     By adding a hint of the other side to     your surroundings or a closed space, [14:49] (Flashback) Izliz     you can lend them a degree of such     invisible atmosphere at will. [14:55] (Flashback) Izliz     Those without the Evil Eye     will merely sense the change, [14:59] (Flashback) Izliz     but with enough time, you can disorient and     dazzle them, as you would with an illusion. [15:10] (Flashback) Izliz     Hmm... I suppose this is your limit now. [15:13] (Flashback) Izliz     Don't be in such a hurry, boy. [15:17] (Flashback) Izliz     If you keep honing your craft, [15:20] (Flashback) Izliz     you'll be able to engulf     whole castles one day. [15:26] Yatsu     Is it me, or did it just get a lot colder? [15:29] Tozawa     Well now. [15:31] Tozawa     I don't know what caused it, [15:33] Tozawa     but something doesn't feel quite right. [15:37] Polka     Lemmings is on the roof. [15:39] Polka     I'd like to avoid confronting him directly. [15:43] Polka     Yet those who asked after the emblem are     at the roof and the street entrance. [15:49] Polka     If they know something, I cannot     afford to let them escape. [15:54] Polka     I'll begin by assisting Xiaoyu-kun. SIGN    Won't people     see you? [16:00] Polka     Rest easy. I will use [16:04] Polka     my Invisible Hands. [16:07] Xiaoyu     What's going on? [16:08] Xiaoyu     Something feels different all of a sudden. [16:11] Xiaoyu     It's like being at the bottom of a lake. [16:15] Xiaoyu     Everything looks the same...     but I know something has changed. [16:21] Solitaire     Hmm... Did he release some sort of gas? [16:25] Solitaire     No. [16:27] Solitaire     This isn't physical; it's     merely an ominous feeling. [16:32] Solitaire     It won't pay to stick around. [16:38] Solitaire     Um, excuse me, but would you mind telling me [16:43] Solitaire     if either of you did that? [16:46] Xiaoyu     Don't look at me! [16:54] Xiaoyu     Wh-What the... [16:56] Xiaoyu     What's going on?! [16:57] Solitaire     You're still after me, even under     these bizarre circumstances?! [17:02] Solitaire     Whoops! [17:07] Solitaire     What is it? It's like something's     been stopping us... [17:11] Solitaire     The boy seems fine as far as I can see. [17:13] Solitaire     Does that mean this thing is     targeting us deliberately? [17:19] Polka     I'm in good form. [17:21] Polka     Sympathizing and sharing senses with     shades is indeed far easier now. [17:26] Polka     Fine control is simple within this Temple—     my Netherworld Overflow ward. [17:32] Polka     So... I'll take it a step further. [17:36] Solitaire     Dear me. As fascinating as this is,     I've seen enough for one night! [17:41] Solitaire     Até breve, obri... something or other! [17:44] Tozawa     Oh? It's one thing after another. [17:49] Tozawa     Hm?

SIGN    Here [17:58] Yatsu     Well, I'd better call Iwa-san. [18:02] Tozawa     Fair enough, but how much will you report? [18:06] Yatsu     Sorry? [18:07] Yatsu     Oh. [18:08] Yatsu     Think that's another one of     Solitaire's magic tricks? [18:13] Solitaire     How do you like my secret smoke screen?! [18:16] Solitaire     I added powdered cassava to recreate     the taste of tapioca milk tea... [18:22] Solitaire     What on earth...?

[18:36] Takeru     What's happened? [18:36] Agent     I'm not qualified to judge. [18:42] Takeru     What the...? [18:44] Polka     By sympathizing with the spirits of the dead,     I share senses with their hands. [18:48] Polka     I couldn't do this well in my old world.     Its abundant mana got in the way. [18:53] Solitaire     So, you're here, too, Fire-Breathing Bug-kun. [18:57] Solitaire     You have some nerve,     using me for misdirection. [19:01] Solitaire     But never mind! I forgive you! [19:02] Solitaire     Why? Because I'm in a simply fantastic mood! [19:07] Solitaire     Though I can't be certain, a great bridge     of hope shines before me like a rainbow! [19:14] Polka     But in this mana-poor world,     it's child's play. [19:17] Polka     And weaving in Shade Thread grants     ghostly hands tangible force. [19:23] Polka     I've turned this world's     environment against it to make... [19:28] Polka     a flock of Invisible Hands! [19:34] Solitaire     Time marches on, overturning common sense! [19:37] Solitaire     This world is so very [19:39] Solitaire     beautiful! [19:49] Polka     I see I lack the power to restrain Lemmings. [19:53] Polka     Then I'll focus on the other one.

[08:17] Polka     It sounded like they oppose a group called     the "Bastard Children of Sabaramond." [08:21] Takumi     But that guy was from a hundred     years ago. Isn't he dead by now? [08:25] Polka     I don't know what happened to     Sabaramond-san after the empire fell, [08:30] Polka     but a sorcerer of his level would be     able to extend his life a century or two.

[08:55] Urai     "Bad news" wouldn't begin to cover it! [08:57] Urai     L-Let me think. [08:59] Urai     My shoulders have been awfully     stiff for a little while. [09:02] Urai     What am I saying?! I didn't     come here for massage therapy. [09:05] Polka     I imagine so. [09:08] Urai     Oh, er... I know! [09:11] Urai     One of my coworkers skipped his     shift and went who knows where. [09:16] Urai     Maybe you could, you know,      divine where he is or something? [09:20] Polka     Is this coworker dear to you? [09:24] Urai     Huh? Well... [09:26] Urai     He's not like family, but he's a friend     I feel comfortable chatting with, so... [09:33] Urai     Huh? No way. [09:35] Urai     Wait a second. [09:37] Bunny A     Fresh news. [09:38] Bunny A     It seems like Nishida-san     did visit this building. [09:42] Man in Black 4     Nishida was here. [09:44] Bunny B     The security cameras show him leaving     in a hurry, wearing his uniform. [09:49] Koruto     So someone snatched him? What for? [09:53] Izuna     It makes you wonder. [09:55] Clarissa     Yes, the timing is concerning. SIGN    Hands Swarm in Late-night Shinjuku?!      A Ghostly Happening or One of Solitaire's Tricks?! [09:58] Izuna     You think it's about Polka-kun? [10:00] Koruto     You mean they grabbed Nishidacchi     to torture him for info on Polka-kun? [10:06] Clarissa     No, Nishida-kun shouldn't know      the details of Polka-kun's situation. [10:11] Clarissa     The only bartender who does is... [10:13] Urai     You've gotta be kidding me. [10:15] Urai     I know Polka-kun is a     necromancer, but still. [10:19] Urai     Why did I get called over here?! [10:24] Urai     Don't tell me... [10:25] Polka     Your friend [10:28] Polka     may have been caught up     in something disastrous. [10:35] Nishida     You can— can— can— can see me— me? [10:39] Nishida     Please, t-t-tell him— h-him that [10:43] Nishida     some— somebody k-k-killed— killed m-m-me. [10:48] Urai     Wh-What do you mean, disastrous? [10:51] Kochou     Why is he reacting like this? [10:53] Kochou     What's going on here? [11:03] Bunny A     Clarissa, I have a followup     report about Nishida-san. [11:07] Clarissa     Yes? [11:11] Izuna     Clarissa, we have a slight problem. [11:13] Clarissa     The police came by, I suppose. [11:16] Clarissa     They wanted to confirm whether     Nishida-kun worked here. [11:19] Izuna     Are you psychic? [11:20] Koruto     Huh? Did she get all that right? [11:23] Clarissa     They're awfully good at this. [11:26] Clarissa     Just like when it was Hosorogi-san's turn. [11:32] Momoya     Now, [11:35] Momoya     I hope I have better luck     finding him this time. [11:42] Xiaoyu     "Open up and talk to him," huh? [11:45] Xiaoyu     But what am I supposed to say     to the fake Polka, and how? [11:49] Xiaoyu     And what if Miss Sayo finds     out what I really am, too? [11:54] Sayo     A clan of assassins? [11:56] Sayo     What does that have to do with sharks? [11:59] Xiaoyu     On second thought,     I don't need to worry about her. [12:03] Xiaoyu     Hmm? [12:04] Xiaoyu     The police? [12:06] Xiaoyu     I got mixed up with Solitaire,     so I'm in trouble if they're here about him. [12:10] Iwanome     Now then, let's use the Solitaire     case to break the ice. [12:15] Arase     If Takumi Kuruya is inside,     this won't take long. [12:21] Arase     I'm willing to bet he's in there. [12:24] Iwanome     Cool it, okay? [12:26] Ikeuchi     Come on. Make way. [12:27] Iwanome     Uh-oh. [12:29] Iwanome     Hold it. [12:30] Ikeuchi     Who're you? SIGN    Inspector     Tsubaki      Iwanome [12:34] Ikeuchi     The local guys, huh? [12:35] Iwanome     And you are...? [12:37] Ikeuchi     We're on assignment from HQ.      Kindly step aside. [12:40] Iwanome     No can do. [12:42] Iwanome     If you're on the Solitaire case,     I'm one of the lead investigators. [12:46] Ikeuchi     Nothing to do with Solitaire.     Our orders come from the top. [12:51] Ikeuchi     There was a nasty mugging last night. [12:54] Ikeuchi     We got a tip that the perp is     laying low in this building. [12:58] Ikeuchi     He works in a bar near here, Youtoukorou. [13:03] Ikeuchi     If you're in Community Safety,     you must've heard of it. [13:09] Momoya     Oh, hey, the fun's already started. [13:13] Higuro     What is he doing here? [13:15] Momoya     See someone you know? [13:17] Higuro     The detective I mentioned yesterday.     The one who crushed my gang. [13:22] Higuro     I should've known I couldn't plan for     everything with only info from on high. [13:26] Momoya     Of course you couldn't. [13:28] Momoya     Even we Agakuras have messed up because     our clients didn't tell us enough. [13:33] Momoya     I get a kick out of that     sort of thing, though. [13:36] Higuro     I guess I'd better investigate privately. [13:39] Momoya     Got any handy connections? [13:41] Higuro     I used to have a skilled information     specialist on my side, [13:45] Higuro     but my business rival in     Shinjuku snapped him up. [13:49] [SONG] Text; screen     DROP EVERYTHING [13:51] [SONG] Text; screen     DROP EVERYTHING      THE COPS ARE HERE [13:53] Takumi     Shit! Those aren't local cops! [13:54] [SONG] Text; screen     DROP EVERYTHING      THE COPS ARE HERE      SORRY, I DROPPED THE BALL.      JUST PLAY ALONG     AND DO WHAT THEY SAY. [13:57] Kochou     Huh? What's going on? [13:59] Misaki     Be right with you! [14:02] Ikeuchi     We're police officers. [14:04] Ikeuchi     Who's in charge here? [14:06] Polka     I manage this fortune-telling establishment. [14:10] Ikeuchi     We're about to launch a search     of this whole building. [14:13] Ikeuchi     Please vacate the premises now if possible. [14:16] Ikeuchi     Recognize this man? [14:18] Ikeuchi     He's a suspect in a mugging case. [14:20] Nishida     H-Hey! [14:21] Nishida     Huh? Me? Me? [14:23] Polka     No. [14:24] Ikeuchi     We've received information that     he's hiding in this building. [14:27] Ikeuchi     Please cooperate with our investigation. [14:30] Polka     I understand. [14:31] Nishida     N-No way! I... I haven't done anything! [14:35] Kochou     A mugger? Now, of all times? [14:37] Kochou     A mugger flees into a     building Solitaire left? [14:40] Kochou     Is there a connection? I want to     check the mugger's background. [14:44] Kochou     Excuse me, would you mind showing     me the mugger's photo, too? [14:49] Ikeuchi     Do you work here? [14:50] Kochou     Yes! [14:51] Polka     Huh?! Hey— [14:52] Hosorogi     Polka. Polka. [14:55] Hosorogi     Can you use your magic to     search the basement right now? [14:59] Polka     Why? [15:00] Hosorogi     I have a bad feeling. [15:02] Hosorogi     This sequence of events reminds me [15:04] Hosorogi     of five years ago, right     before I was murdered here. [15:08] Hosorogi     If my intuition is correct,     something is down in— [15:11] Polka     I found it. [15:12] Hosorogi     What? [15:14] Polka     Our basement... [15:16] Ghosts     Looks like a body. [15:16] Polka     ...has that guy, Nishida's, corpse in it. [15:17] Ghosts     He's dead. [15:17] Ghosts     Dead. [15:18] Ghosts     It's a dead body. [15:20] Polka     This is bad. [15:21] Polka     If they find a body here,     I'll be farther from peace than ever. [15:25] Hosorogi     So, that's their game. [15:27] Hosorogi     You're awfully cold when children     or your friends aren't involved. [15:33] (Flashback) Izliz     You're too kind to wield death. [15:36] (Flashback) Izliz     That's all the more reason     to draw a clear line. [15:40] (Flashback) Izliz     Don't under- or overestimate     how far your power can reach. [15:46] (Flashback) Izliz     Otherwise, you'll lose a great deal. [15:51] Polka     Yes. I won't deny it. [15:54] Polka     But... [15:55] Nishida     No. No. Not... Not me! [15:59] Polka     right now, I feel like [16:02] Polka     my hands can stretch a little further. [16:16] Cop A     Nothing's here. [16:19] Cop B     Looks like an empty room. [16:21] Cop A     I was sure he'd be hiding in here. [16:26] Ikeuchi     What did you find? [16:27] Cop B     He wasn't in the basement, sir. [16:30] Ikeuchi     I see. [16:30] Detective     Huh? [16:31] Ikeuchi     What? [16:32] Detective     O-Oh, nothing. [16:33] Detective     I just thought he might be upstairs, then. [16:36] Ikeuchi     He could already have escaped, too. [16:38] Ikeuchi     If he's not in this building,     we'll check the nearby security cams. [16:42] Detective     R-Right. [16:46] Grocer     So, the big store at Sakuradamon     has started stocking up. [16:50] Grocer     The Shinjuku market will turn volatile. [16:53] Grocer     This could affect the price of hitmen. [16:57] Takeru     The police? [16:59] Takeru     In the building where Polka is? [17:01] Bao     Uh-huh. Not local cops. Probably from HQ. [17:07] Takeru     And what about Polka's group? [17:08] Bao     They're outside. [17:10] Misaki     Good thing the rain let up! [17:12] Sayo     Scary, isn't it, darling? [17:13] Takumi     I guess so. [17:15] Hosorogi     There's a secret passage     under the basement floor? [17:18] Polka     I found it when I searched the     whole building a while ago. [17:22] Polka     It seemed to connect to another building, [17:25] Polka     but it hadn't been used     recently so I didn't worry. [17:29] Polka     Secret passages were pretty     common in the Empire. [17:33] Polka     But I've learned one thing from this: [17:37] Polka     someone is trying to catch     this building in a trap. [17:40] Polka     They're either after us... [17:42] Hosorogi     Or the property owner, Clarissa. [17:49] Arase     Oh, I thought I'd find you here, [17:53] Arase     Takumi Kuruya. [17:56] Arase     Are you sure we shouldn't go over there? [17:58] Iwanome     As much as I'd love to, yes. [18:00] Iwanome     I mean, Kochou-chan is here. [18:02] Arase     She's a reporter for      Weekly Dry now, isn't she? [18:05] Arase     She seems to be writing     about Polka Shinoyama. [18:08] Iwanome     It looks like they left quietly without     a fight, so let's wait and see. [18:13] Iwanome     I'm more worried about the guys     in uniform the HQ team brought. [18:17] Iwanome     Are they from Shinjuku Precinct? [18:21] Iwanome     HQ coming out over a mugging     stinks to begin with. [18:25] Iwanome     Then they say one of Clarissa's     bartenders robbed someone [18:30] Iwanome     and fled to a building Clarissa owns? [18:33] Iwanome     I'd like to know where that tip came from. [18:35] Arase     You think it's fake info? [18:37] Iwanome     The timing is too convenient. [18:39] Iwanome     It's so perfect, I wouldn't be     surprised if Solitaire set it up. [18:43] Iwanome     Except that it's just like five years ago. [18:46] Iwanome     After Hosorogi-san vanished, SIGN    From: Hosorogi      To: Tsubaki Iwanome          I found important evidence.      It's at: [18:48] Iwanome     I got a text that said,     "I found important evidence here." [18:54] (Flashback) Iwanome     Hosorogi-san? [18:56] Iwanome     When I came running, there was nothing there [18:59] Iwanome     except for blood spatter on the walls [19:02] Iwanome     that matched Hosorogi-san's DNA. [19:05] Arase     I see. [19:08] Higuro     Kouzaburou Arase. [19:11] Higuro     If he's involved, [19:14] Higuro     I'll have to be more     careful with my disguise. [19:18] Higuro     A hat won't be nearly enough. [19:21] Higuro     Momoya-san? What is it? [19:24] Momoya     I guess destiny is real. [19:28] Xiaoyu     What the heck is going on? [19:34] Taipei     What are you doing here? [19:36] Xiaoyu     Taipei. [19:37] Taipei     Your job is guarding Miss Sayo. [19:41] Xiaoyu     I know. I'm already on my way back to her. [19:44] Taipei     You're no longer worth     anything to the Lei family, [19:48] Taipei     but at least die doing your     duty as her human shield. [19:53] Xiaoyu     I don't need you to tell me that. [19:54] Xiaoyu     I was done with the Leis ages ago, [19:58] Xiaoyu     so don't presume to lecture me     like you did back in the day. [20:01] Taipei     Are you sure? Without family     ties, you're just a nobody. [20:08] Taipei     I think you'd better learn     how to speak properly. [20:11] Xiaoyu     Let go, Taipei. [20:14] Misaki     Yoo-hoo! [20:16] Xiaoyu     S-Sakimiya-san! [20:18] Misaki     Are these groceries? I'll carry them for you! [20:21] Xiaoyu     Oh, no, I can— [20:23] Misaki     Inside is kind of a mess right now. [20:25] Xiaoyu     Huh? Umm... [20:29] Sayo     Way to go! New shark merch! [20:33] Xiaoyu     I'm so glad you like them. [20:34] Sayo     Oh, I could never have too many of these! [20:37] Xiaoyu     Please excuse me.

[21:09] Misaki     You never know who you'll run into here,      so you'd better watch out. [21:14] Taipei     Why does her life force seem so faint? [21:19] Taipei     "You never know"? [21:21] Taipei     I see. [21:24] Taipei     This really is the underworld. [21:27] Momoya     Who's that girl? [21:30] Momoya     She's no amateur. [21:31] Momoya     I'd say she's killed at least ten people. [21:35] Higuro     She's probably one of Shinjuku's assassins. [21:39] Momoya     Well, now. [21:41] Higuro     Kouzaburou Arase. [21:43] Higuro     The Shinoyamas' heir. [21:45] Higuro     The Leis are here, as well. [21:48] Higuro     And so is Takumi Kuruya. [21:51] Higuro     He's the last person I expected to run into.

[00:20] Chief Editor     That building's been cropping up     in all kinds of rumors for decades. [00:25] Chief Editor     Five years ago, blood from a high-ranking     cop who went missing turned up there. [00:29] Chief Editor     Now a mugger hides in it,     and they force a search? [00:33] Chief Editor     That's not normal. [00:35] Chief Editor     This is no job for a cub reporter. [00:37] Chief Editor     Hand it off to a veteran like Himura. [00:40] Kochou     No, this is my story. [00:45] Chief Editor     If I force her to drop it, she'll take     paid vacation and investigate anyway. [00:50] Kochou     I did it, Chief! [00:51] Kochou     I cracked the case, Chief! [00:53] Kochou     I've got photos to prove it, Chief! [00:55] Chief Editor     Still, it'd be a waste to fire her. [01:01] Chief Editor     Fine. We'll compromise. [01:04] Chief Editor     You can cover the occult story on     this fortune teller, the Corpse God. [01:09] Chief Editor     But don't take the initiative     to go after anything else, [01:13] Chief Editor     and don't report on anything     but fortune telling. [01:15] Kochou     Aww... [01:16] Chief Editor     Don't look at me like that. [01:18] Chief Editor     The flip side is that, if anything     happens, you'll be closest to the scoop. [01:23] Kochou     I know, but... [01:24] Chief Editor     But what? [01:26] Chief Editor     Don't you trust your instinct that     Polka Shinoyama's at the heart of this? [01:35] Kochou     You ought to know me better than that, Chief! [01:38] Kochou     I'll make Polka Shinoyama the     center of this story, all right! [01:43] Kochou     Just watch me! [01:44] Chief Editor     Hey! Whatever else you do,      don't lie in print! [03:19] Xiaoyu     Excuse me, miss. [03:21] Xiaoyu     I bought the extra things you asked me to. [03:25] Sayo     Thanks. [03:29] Takumi     So, seriously, what is that stuff? [03:33] Sayo     Well, think of it as a rent payment. [03:35] Polka     Mana stones! [03:36] Takumi     Uncut gemstones?!

[03:53] Xiaoyu     What does she mean,     he "saved the real Polka"? [03:56] Xiaoyu     And what is he going to use that     pile of rough gemstones for? [03:59] Misaki     So, what can you do with all these? [04:03] Polka     Good question. [04:04] Polka     I think I could pull off one big task, [04:07] Polka     but I already have a use in mind [04:10] Polka     and that's... [04:13] Xiaoyu     What does he mean? [04:15] Takumi     Now, the question is, what will we do next? [04:18] Takumi     I got in touch with Clarissa, but what     about the dead body in that tunnel? [04:23] Xiaoyu     A dead body?! [04:24] Xiaoyu     What are they talking about?! [04:25] Polka     For now, I'll make sure no one finds it. [04:29] Takumi     The dead guy is probably Nishida,     one of Clarissa's bartenders. [04:33] Takumi     I sent Urai back to her in     the confusion, but still. [04:37] Polka     That guy worked at Clarissa's bar? [04:40] Takumi     The cops showed up right after     someone dumped Nishida's body. [04:44] Takumi     That's gotta mean that the cops     are working with the killer. [04:49] Takumi     Huh? [04:50] Takumi     Oh, crap! [04:51] Takumi     We'll finish this some other time! [04:52] Takumi     I'll slip out the back,     so you take it from here! [04:55] Takumi     Call me if there's news!

[05:11] Misaki     Thanks for making this! [05:15] Iwanome     Hi! [05:16] Polka     Hello. [05:17] Iwanome     Sorry. Were you in the middle of dinner? [05:20] Misaki     Did you come looking for that     mugger, too, detectives? [05:23] Iwanome     Nah. Unfortunately,     we're on the Solitaire case. [05:27] Iwanome     So, I'll cut to the chase. [05:32] Iwanome     You already know why Solitaire     came here, don't you? [05:38] Polka     Why Solitaire came here? [05:41] Polka     This police officer shouldn't     know about that symbol. [05:45] Polka     No, I have no idea. [05:48] Hosorogi     Huh?! [05:49] Hosorogi     P-Polka, you know how I drew     something for this detective? [05:53] Hosorogi     That was actually... [05:55] Iwanome     As far as I know, only one     thing links you and Solitaire: [05:59] Iwanome     the symbol painted on those blimps. [06:02] Iwanome     You're in contact, aren't you? Come on. [06:06] Iwanome     Won't you let me see Hosorogi-san? [06:12] Polka     You mean you've been suspicious     of my fortune telling all along? [06:18] Polka     If you don't believe me,     if we can't establish mutual trust, [06:23] Polka     then I have nothing to say to— [06:24] Iwanome     Hey. [06:26] Iwanome     You can't brush me off this late in the game. [06:30] Polka     I can tell [06:32] Polka     that danger is closing in,     slowly but steadily. [06:37] Polka     How far can my hands reach? [06:40] Polka     Some souls may slip through my fingers. [06:44] Polka     All the more reason to be careful.

[08:01] Iwanome     Following the lead on that     fortune-telling paper comes first. [08:06] Arase     Why not act now?

[08:44] Higuro     That's why I'm here. [08:48] Higuro     Figured it out? [08:49] Takumi     You're the one who made Nishida a mugger? [08:55] Higuro     Just now, you paused for a     moment to think, didn't you? [09:00] Higuro     And to choose your words. [09:02] Higuro     You were wondering whether     to say "mugger" or "corpse." [09:08] Takumi     It was you! [09:10] Higuro     You knew about the body. [09:13] Higuro     Pain is good. It slows judgment. [09:17] Higuro     Makes people fall for leading questions     that would never normally catch them. [09:21] Higuro     Especially people who fear pain, like you.

[09:30] Higuro     You see, my employer wants     to use official power [09:33] Higuro     to lay everyone involved     with your building bare, [09:36] Higuro     so I really need a mugger's     corpse to turn up in it. [09:40] Takumi     You sure you oughta blab all that? [09:43] Higuro     Of course. A smart guy like you must realize [09:46] Higuro     that you have no choice now     that you've heard my plans. [09:51] Momoya     Higuro-san. [09:53] Momoya     He might still have options. [10:03] Takumi     Misaki? [10:06] Sayo     Oh? Where's Misaki-chan? [10:08] Polka     She went to pick up Takumi-kun. [10:10] Polka     Clarissa-san called her about it. [10:13] Higuro     So, Shinjuku's intermediary     predicted what I'd do. [10:25] Momoya     Are you using some kind of trick? [10:27] Momoya     No one your size should     be able to overpower me. [10:32] Misaki     I'm a growing girl! [10:43] Momoya     Missed by a hair. [10:53] Momoya     No one's ever jumped over me before. [10:59] Momoya     In all honesty, [11:02] Momoya     that was a close one. [11:04] Takumi     Misaki. Hey. [11:06] Takumi     Misa... ki... [11:09] Higuro     Oh, dear. This could start a feud     between Shibuya and Shinjuku. [11:13] Momoya     Sounds fun. [11:14] Momoya     If it means I get to fight a lot     more like her, I'm all for it. [11:19] Higuro     I think I'll pass. [11:22] Higuro     Yes. Please forgive me. [11:25] Higuro     There was a slight irregularity.     I'll give you a report later. [11:30] Higuro     Under Sabaramond's aegis,     failure is impossible. [11:34] Sayo     Hey, are you sure that was the     best thing to do with those gems? [11:38] Polka     Yes. I can only do so much, after all. [11:42] Polka     I'd already decided to use     the first stones I got [11:46] Polka     on Misaki-chan's evolution. [11:49] Polka     I don't just want to extend     the reach of my protection.

[12:03] Misaki     What do you know? [12:05] Misaki     I got killed, but I didn't die.     What a weird feeling. [12:08] Misaki     But maybe now I finally get [12:11] Misaki     how it feels to be a whole new me. [12:18] Misaki     Nope. I haven't changed. [12:28] Misaki     I've always been inhuman.

[14:43] Takumi     I'm awake! Just lay off the pain! [14:45] Higuro     Oh, good. I didn't want to lose     face in front of Agakura-san. [14:50] Takumi     That beanpole's an Agakura?! [14:53] Momoya     "Beanpole"? Talk about retro vocabulary. [14:57] Momoya     Although I am the tallest in my family. [15:01] Momoya     Still, I guess we're pretty famous. [15:06] Takumi     Of course you are. [15:07] Takumi     The whole underworld knows the Agakuras     are a family of elite nutjobs.

[15:20] Higuro     Yes, exactly. [15:23] Higuro     That's why I paid to get     Agakura-san's family on my side. [15:27] Higuro     Just like you've allied with the Heilei. [15:31] Takumi     The who? [15:33] Higuro     You don't look like you're playing dumb. [15:35] Higuro     The Shinoyamas must not trust you completely. [15:39] Takumi     What do you mean? [15:41] Higuro     You know that black-haired     boy in your building? [15:44] Higuro     He's an assassin on the     Shinoyama family's payroll. [15:49] Xiaoyu     I was hoping to plant a listening     device at Takumi's place [15:52] Xiaoyu     and learn more about that "dead body." [15:55] Xiaoyu     But why... why is one of* them here? [15:59] Xiaoyu     An Agakura! [16:04] Xiaoyu     I guess the Agakuras are off-limits. [16:07] Xiaoyu     No. [16:09] Xiaoyu     I'm not a Heilei anymore. [16:11] Xiaoyu     It wouldn't hurt to rescue that guy     and put the fake Polka in my debt. [16:16] Higuro     Now, let's continue our chat. [16:20] Higuro     You have no choice. I got that far, didn't I? [16:23] Momoya     Hey. [16:25] Momoya     Doesn't he have two? Choices, I mean. [16:27] Momoya     Cooperate or die. [16:30] Higuro     Oh, not in his case. [16:32] Higuro     Right, Takumi-kun? [16:34] Higuro     To avoid imminent death, you'll sacrifice     the present without a second thought.

[17:02] Higuro     I heard [17:04] Higuro     that you've developed a phobia of reality. [17:08] Higuro     For peace of mind, you pretend everything     you see through your cameras is a game. [17:14] Higuro     How courageous. I could cry. [17:17] Takumi     You seem to know a lot about me. [17:20] Higuro     Because I valued your ability     to gather intelligence. [17:23] Higuro     I would have liked to recruit     you again if I got the chance, [17:26] Higuro     but Kuraki-san seems to have     taken quite a liking to you. [17:30] Higuro     What were you doing in     that infamous building? [17:33] Higuro     I'd appreciate it if you'd     tell me that and so much more.

[10:49] Iwanome     Jeez. [10:51] Iwanome     The way things are going, we'll run     into a real monster one of these days! [10:57] Takumi     For starters, let's get out of here. [11:00] Takumi     That asshole Higuro might     call in reinforcements. [11:04] Misaki     What should we do with this guy? [11:07] Xiaoyu     The singing people are... gone? [11:11] Xiaoyu     What could have— [11:14] Xiaoyu     Someone's coming. [11:17] Xiaoyu     Maybe an enemy. [11:23] Kana     Wow. [11:24] Kana     He noticed us. [11:26] Dahlia     And we were trying to be stealthy. [11:29] Kana     Mm-hmm. Of course, [11:31] Kana     he hasn't picked up on Ma-nee. [11:36] Majiri     It's been far too long, [11:38] Majiri     my lovely little [11:40] Majiri     boy assassin. [11:50] Majiri     I see your new prosthetic arms are well made. [11:56] Majiri     But didn't I tell you, dear little boy? [12:01] Majiri     Just become my little brother, [12:04] Majiri     and you can have your limbs     back whenever you like. [12:09] Xiaoyu     So... [12:12] Xiaoyu     You really are back in Japan. [12:19] Xiaoyu     The job was supposed to be easy. [12:22] Xiaoyu     Just a small-time target,     perfect for my first assignment. [12:28] Xiaoyu     But that small fry was also [12:34] Xiaoyu     on someone else's hit list. [12:38] Xiaoyu     "Kill anyone in the building." [12:41] Xiaoyu     Those were my orders. [12:44] Xiaoyu     I didn't hesitate. [12:46] Xiaoyu     My blade lopped off the woman's head. [12:49] Xiaoyu     Or I meant for it to. [12:51] (Flashback) Majiri     I like how you go for the kill.      And you're cute. [12:56] (Flashback) Majiri     You must be the Leis' latest killing machine. [13:01] (Flashback) Majiri     That settles it. I've decided. [13:03] (Flashback) Majiri     How would you like to become     an Agakura by adoption? [13:06] Xiaoyu     I had no idea what she was talking about. [13:09] Xiaoyu     But it was what came next     that really baffled me. [13:14] (Flashback) Majiri     The Heilei are awful, you know? [13:18] (Flashback) Majiri     You must have experienced that firsthand. [13:24] Xiaoyu     The next thing I knew, my arms and legs were gone. [13:28] Xiaoyu     Strange as it sounds,     I don't think I bled that much. [13:32] (Flashback) Majiri     Don't worry. I fixed you up so you won't die. [13:37] (Flashback) Majiri     Still, I wonder what the     Heilei will do with you. [13:41] (Flashback) Majiri     If you want help, call me. [13:45] (Flashback) Majiri     I'll come running, [13:48] (Flashback) Majiri     and I'll give your limbs back when I do. [13:51] (Flashback) Majiri     I'll give you lots of love     as a new member of my family. [13:57] (Flashback) Momoya     Nee-san sure is fickle. [14:00] (Flashback) Kana     Mm-hmm. But cutting off limbs is new. [14:03] (Flashback) Kana     Ma-nee must really like him. [14:06] (Flashback) Majiri     Till we meet again,      my lovely little assassin. [14:10] (Flashback) Majiri     My name is... [14:13] Xiaoyu     Majiri Agakura! [14:15] Majiri     So, what will it be? [14:19] Majiri     You just called my name, didn't you? [14:24] Majiri     Do you want my help? [14:27] Xiaoyu     Your help? [14:28] Majiri     If you join my family, [14:31] Majiri     I'll slaughter all those     bothersome Heilei for you. [14:37] Xiaoyu     You're right. I hate the Heilei Clan. [14:42] Xiaoyu     But [14:43] Xiaoyu     the blood—or the techniques—     I inherited don't bother me so much. [14:51] Xiaoyu     More importantly, the place I belong [14:55] Xiaoyu     isn't with the Heilei or the Agakura. [14:57] Xiaoyu     This blood of mine [15:01] Xiaoyu     is lightning that protects the Shinoyamas! [15:06] Majiri     I miscalculated. [15:08] Majiri     I never dreamed the Shinoyamas would     rescue you before I got the chance. [15:18] Momoya     Seriously, Majiri-neesan? [15:20] Momoya     You carried a torch for nearly a decade,     and he turned you down? [15:24] Majiri     Oh, Momo-kun. You're alive. [15:27] Majiri     I'm so glad. [15:30] Majiri     But laughing at your big sister's     broken heart isn't very nice. [15:35] Majiri     I'll scold you later. [15:37] Momoya     Right now, a punishment     from you would kill me. [15:41] Majiri     He hurt you that badly? [15:45] Majiri     You've grown, my lovely little assassin. [15:49] Momoya     No, Neesan. [15:51] Momoya     I lost [15:53] Momoya     to the girl above you. [16:06] Momoya     Watch out, Nee-san. [16:09] Momoya     She must've learned from Solitaire.     She has tricks up her sleeve. [16:17] Kana     Momoya is small-time.     The seventh-weakest Agakura. [16:21] Dahlia     Doesn't that put him right in the middle? [16:28] Misaki     Thanks! That was nice of you! [16:31] Majiri     What's your name? [16:34] Misaki     Oh, I'm Misaki. Misaki Sakimiya! [16:37] Misaki     Nice meeting you! [16:38] Majiri     "Misaki Agakura." It has a nice ring to it. [16:42] Misaki     Huh? [16:44] Majiri     Would you consider bearing the Agakura name? SIGN    Misaki A. (Agakura) Sakimiya [16:48] Misaki     As a middle name, sure. [16:50] Majiri     No, you should make "Sakimiya"     your middle name. SIGN    Misaki S. (Sakimiya) Agakura [16:55] Takumi     Could this conversation get any stupider? [17:00] Momoya     My sister really is fickle. [17:08] Majiri     I have no choice. [17:10] Majiri     My darling little brother     will die without help. [17:15] Majiri     Kana. [17:16] Kana     Mm-hmm. [17:18] Kana     Dahlia. [17:29] Kana     Dahlia, you take his weapon. [17:33] Majiri     Today was a draw. [17:36] Majiri     Let's leave it at that and split up. [17:40] Majiri     I'm so sorry for breaking you prosthetic arm. [17:43] Majiri     If you come visit, I'll give you     the original to make up for it. [17:48] Majiri     Till we meet again, Misaki-chan. [17:58] Takumi     H-Hey. Should we have just let them go? [18:01] Xiaoyu     I couldn't stop them.      She took out one of my legs, too. [18:06] Misaki     Hmm... I don't think I was up to it, either. [18:10] Misaki     You know how Polka-kun     stabbed me that one time? [18:13] Takumi     Huh? Oh, yeah. [18:16] Misaki     That lady's probably tougher     than Polka-kun was then. [18:26] Habaki     I can't use my position anymore. [18:30] Iwanome     Stand up, Senior Commissioner. [18:33] Habaki     Damn you! [18:35] Habaki     The Bug knows what I look like now! [18:42] Iwanome     Powder? [18:44] Iwanome     Hey! Did you just swallow that?! [18:47] Habaki     So I suppose it won't     matter... if I cut loose. [18:52] Iwanome     Huh? [18:55] Arase     Iwa-san! [18:57] Arase     Are you okay? [18:58] Iwanome     Sorry. I owe you one. [19:00] Iwanome     How did he get so strong? [19:07] Habaki     I can't afford... to die here. [19:12] Arase     Some kind of drug, maybe? [19:14] Iwanome     You've shown your true colors. [19:17] Iwanome     Looks like we've got you     red-handed now, huh?! [19:22] Habaki     There's nothing red about me. [19:24] Habaki     This world has yet... to be colored. [19:31] Habaki     Yes. Soon, the great one shall bore a hole! [19:37] Iwanome     What's he talking about? [19:39] Arase     He must be high. [19:41] Arase     Now, [19:47] Arase     who should we deal with first? [19:54] Polka     I wonder if they'll be okay. [19:58] Sayo     It looks like lightning. [20:00] Polka     Lightning... [20:03] Polka     Oh. I thought elementals     were sparse in this world, [20:08] Polka     but the density of lightning elementals     is about the same as in mine. [20:14] Sayo     Lightning elementals? [20:16] Sayo     Can you contract with them to cast spells? [20:19] Polka     I'm not an elementalist. [20:22] Polka     It's suicidal for a non-specialist to     draw on lightning elementals directly. [20:30] Polka     A handful of geniuses have     pulled it off, though. [20:43] Civil     Oh, I've grown fond of this. [20:46] Civil     This land's elementals     are quite the delicacy. [20:50] Arahabaki     Huh? I've got no clue what     you're talking about, Boss! [20:53] Arahabaki     That thunder left my ears ringing! [20:56] Arahabaki     Ever think of that?! [20:58] Civil     Oh, sorry about that. [21:02] Civil     But I'm just so excited! [21:04] Civil     That annoying Bug may be in this city, too, [21:09] Civil     but everyone's done so much for us! [21:13] Civil     And then there are the     hands on that building! [21:16] Civil     I never expected them to appear     on this far-away island! [21:20] Civil     Did they wrench open the     hole from the other side? [21:23] Civil     Or is this a whim of Ordom,     the Destructive Wyvern? [21:28] Lulu     Umm... Are you sure about     that symbol on your back? [21:32] Civil     Why hide it anymore? [21:34] Civil     A local stage magician already     let that cat out of the bag. [21:39] Civil     Oh, I can hardly wait! [21:43] Civil     I've just got to track them down     and roll out the red carpet... [21:54] Civil     ...to welcome our very first     visitor from my homeland.

[00:04] (Flashback) Habaki     What were you thinking,     peeking at classified data from HQ?! [00:08] (Flashback) Iwanome     I know. I screwed up. [00:11] (Flashback) Habaki     It's Inspector Hosorogi, isn't it? [00:14] (Flashback) Habaki     Don't stick your neck out for someone     who's no longer with us. [00:17] (Flashback) Iwanome     But I can't just— [00:18] (Flashback) Habaki     I'm telling you to face forward. [00:21] (Flashback) Habaki     For those who are gone, and for yourself. [00:26] (Flashback) Iwanome     About your daughter... [00:28] (Flashback) Iwanome     I'm sorry. [00:29] (Flashback) Habaki     Listen, Iwanome. [00:32] (Flashback) Habaki     I'm alive. [00:34] (Flashback) Habaki     For my daughter, and for me, [00:36] (Flashback) Habaki     I'm going to see my job     through to the bitter end. [02:18] Iwanome     I'm impressed, Habaki-san. [02:20] Iwanome     Was all that talk about your     daughter just a pack of lies? [02:25] Habaki     My daughter? [02:27] Habaki     Of course not! [02:28] Iwanome     Wh-Whoa there. [02:30] Habaki     I traded my daughter for this position. [02:33] Habaki     Like hell I'll give it up! [02:36] Iwanome     Are you kidding me?! [02:38] Arase     Try to calm down, boss. [02:43] Arase     He's still better than Lemmings, right? [02:46] Iwanome     Well, you have a point. [02:50] Yatsu     Are you okay, Iwa-san?! [02:52] Iwanome     Yatsu! [02:54] Yatsu     I passed a weird officer, so I got worried. [02:59] Yatsu     I rounded up the guys from Comps-3. [03:01] Yatsu     Is that a problem? [03:02] Iwanome     Nice going, but I'll thank you later! [03:05] Yatsu     Whoa! [03:06] Tozawa     Oh, my. [03:07] Yatsu     S-Senior Commissioner Habaki?! [03:10] Tozawa     So, what are the charges, sir? [03:13] Iwanome     Thanks for cutting to the chase.     It's about Hosorogi-san. [03:16] Tozawa     Oh? [03:17] Habaki     Maybe I should thank the Fire-Breathing Bug. [03:20] Habaki     Thanks to them, I made it in time. [03:23] Iwanome     He's on a call? With who? [03:25] Iwanome     That Higuro guy, or someone el— [03:31] Iwanome     Arase! [03:32] Arase     On it! [03:36] Iwanome     Great! [03:37] Iwanome     Keep it u— [03:40] Iwanome     A handgun? [03:41] Iwanome     How'd he get that cleared in HQ? [03:42] Iwanome     He's aiming at... [03:44] Iwanome     Move, Pops! [03:47] Habaki     Well done. [03:48] Officer     Sir! [03:49] Habaki     We'll meet again on the     other side of the sky. [03:53] Iwanome     Isn't he...? [03:57] Iwanome     Shit! Is this for real?! [03:59] Iwanome     What's the big idea?! [04:01] Iwanome     Stop it— [04:05] Yatsu     Hey, Iwa-san! What the hell is going on?! [04:08] Iwanome     Pops, Yatsu, go after     Senior Commissioner Habaki! [04:15] Iwanome     Arase! Hey! [04:16] Iwanome     These guys are still here?! [04:18] Fire-Breathing Bug A     This is it, then. [04:20] Fire-Breathing Bug B     I do not wish to burn the just. [04:26] Cop A     Huh? [04:26] Cop B     Where am I? [04:27] Cop C     Hey! Why am I under arrest?! [04:28] Arase     What the...? [04:30] Cop D     Ow! [04:31] Iwanome     This seems similar. [04:36] Iwanome     I heard about it, but don't     tell me that's the answer. [04:41] Arase     Did you figure something out? [04:43] Iwanome     The Fire-Breathing Bug is     one person, but they also aren't. [04:45] Iwanome     It's a little hard to swallow, [04:48] Iwanome     but are we dealing with hypnosis? [04:53] Tozawa     Let's split up and search. [04:56] Yatsu     You got it. [04:57] Yatsu     Oh, crap. What's Kochou     gonna say to me later? [05:11] Habaki     I... I know this is the right place. [05:15] Civil     Hi there, Habaki. [05:17] Habaki     Oh! Oh! [05:19] Habaki     I can't believe you're really here! [05:22] Habaki     When did you reach Japan?! [05:24] Civil     I just got in today. [05:26] Civil     I was looking for a hotel when I heard     you made an emergency call to HQ. [05:31] Habaki     Oh, I am unworthy. [05:34] Habaki     That blackout... [05:35] Habaki     Did you use your powers for me?! [05:38] Civil     You needn't thank me. [05:41] Civil     Good work, past and future,     deserves a reward. [05:46] Civil     Speaking of which, you've given a lot     to the organization, haven't you? [05:51] Civil     What that lab called experiments     were basically just slaughter. [05:55] Civil     I doubt anyone else would have     given them his own daughter. [06:00] Habaki     You honor me! [06:01] Habaki     My daughter must be rejoicing     in the hereafter! [06:06] Civil     Hmm... [06:07] Civil     Habaki, you have two things wrong. [06:11] Habaki     What? [06:12] Civil     "Good work, past and future,     deserves a reward." [06:16] Civil     That wasn't about you. [06:19] Habaki     I don't understand. [06:21] Civil     I told you [06:22] Civil     that you needn't thank me [06:26] Civil     because I fully intend to abandon you. [06:28] Habaki     Huh? [06:29] Civil     That brings us to     misunderstanding number two. [06:33] Civil     Isn't "in the hereafter" [06:35] Civil     something you say about dead people? [06:41] Arahabaki     Long time no see, Dad. [06:45] Habaki     I-I-It can't be. [06:47] Habaki     Are you... Soara? [06:49] Civil     That's right. Soara Habaki-chan. [06:53] Civil     The daughter you gave to the     Bastard Children of Sabaramond. [06:58] Civil     Or rather, the troublesome     love child you disposed of. [07:03] Civil     I never told you because you     never tried to find out, [07:06] Civil     but your daughter became the     experiments' first survivor. [07:11] Civil     Congratulations. [07:14] Civil     Her code name is "Arahabaki." [07:16] Civil     She outranks you now, [07:19] Civil     and she asked me [07:22] Civil     to let her personally execute the     father who made her a lab rat. [07:27] Habaki     What?! [07:28] Arahabaki     I've been thinkin' about you all this time, [07:31] Arahabaki     Father. [07:32] Habaki     W-Wait. [07:33] Arahabaki     About how I'm gonna cut you     up everywhere they cut me! [07:39] Habaki     D-Damn you! [07:47] Civil     Aren't family reunions moving? [07:51] Civil     Hmm? [07:52] Civil     Hey, Lulu. [07:56] Arahabaki     What's the matter, Father? [07:59] Arahabaki     This is nothing [08:01] Arahabaki     compared to my decade of agony! [08:05] Arahabaki     You know, I decided [08:09] Arahabaki     that if you came to find out     what happened to me, even once, [08:17] Arahabaki     I'd at least let you live. [08:21] Arahabaki     Lucky for me, you're heartless. [08:26] Rinne     So, that's today's target? [08:28] Hiiro     Yeah. [08:29] Habaki     I... I still have more to     offer the organization! [08:33] Habaki     I'm so close to finding the sorcerer     from the other side of the sky! [08:39] Civil     I'm not so sure you could pull it off. [08:41] Habaki     Please, give me another chance! [08:43] Civil     Hmm... [08:45] Civil     Only facing forward has     worked out for you so far, [08:48] Civil     but you should have paused to look back, too. [08:51] Civil     Both to Soara-chan, [08:53] Arahabaki     Huh? [08:54] Civil     and right in this moment. [08:56] Habaki     What do— [08:58] Arahabaki     Huh? [09:00] Rinne     Did I hit him? [09:00] Hiiro     Dead-on. And we got the okay     to ignore anyone with him. [09:05] Hiiro     Still, this is supposed to     "test the Horojima's skills"? [09:08] Hiiro     All we had to do was shoot     that beat-up middle-aged guy. [09:12] Hiiro     Why do you think the Shinjuku intermediary     called this petty revenge? [09:17] Clarissa     We're going out. [09:18] Clarissa     Get ready, won't you? [09:20] Koruto     Yes, ma'am! [09:23] Arahabaki     Boss, gimme the order. [09:25] Civil     Go ahead. [09:27] Civil     You have three minutes, Arahabaki. [09:29] Civil     Sicut vis. [09:31] Hiiro     Oh, crap. [09:33] Rinne     What's wrong? [09:34] Hiiro     We'd better clear out quick. [09:35] Hiiro     We'll hide out on a lower floor and— [09:38] Rinne     Hmm? Too late. [09:40] Hiiro     Huh? [09:41] Rinne     She came straight here. [09:53] Arahabaki     Yo! [09:54] Arahabaki     You Peeping Toms have really done it now! [09:59] Rinne     We're doomed. [10:02] Hiiro     This might be it for us. [10:05] Arahabaki     Hey, come on. I'd only dished out half     the pain I had planned for him. [10:10] Arahabaki     You stole my revenge out from under my nose, [10:14] Arahabaki     so you'd better make it up to me. [10:18] Arahabaki     Going for the eyes? Nice thinking! [10:23] Satani     Heave-ho! [10:34] Arahabaki     Tch. [10:38] Arahabaki     Hell of a lot of voyeurs you've got there. [10:42] Hiiro     I remember you. [10:45] Hiiro     Were you watching us? Waiting to     clean up if things went south? [10:50] Izuna     Clarissa's too smart to     give newbies free rein. [10:54] Rinne     Ugh. I knew she was a bitch. [10:57] Satani     Watch it. [10:59] Rinne     But we owe her one, so... thanks. [11:02] Satani; Carla; Izuna     Adorable. [11:04] Arahabaki     She's cute as hell. [11:07] Arahabaki     Don't think I'll let you off the     hook just 'cause you're cute! [11:11] Arahabaki     I've got cute girls on my side, too! [11:14] Arahabaki     Huh? What the—?! [11:16] Arahabaki     Where'd the boss go?! [11:18] Arahabaki     Wait! Are my three minutes up?! [11:21] Arahabaki     Seriously?! Shit! [11:26] Polka     Clarissa-san. [11:27] Clarissa     I'm sorry to trouble you so late, [11:30] Clarissa     but there's someone I simply must speak to [11:34] Clarissa     and I need your powers. [11:37] Hosorogi     L-Lisa?! [11:43] Clarissa     I don't believe we've met. [11:46] Clarissa     Sayo Shinoyama-chan, isn't it? [11:49] Sayo     Yes. You've heard of me? [11:52] Clarissa     Only that you're related to Polka-kun. [11:54] Polka     Umm... Clarissa-san. [11:57] Polka     Sayo-san and Rozan-san     know about the Corpse God. [12:02] Clarissa     I see. [12:04] Clarissa     Well, you're free to choose     how much you tell them, [12:08] Clarissa     but be careful. [12:10] Clarissa     Someone is after Polka Shinoyama,     the heir to the family fortune. [12:16] Clarissa     If they find out, trouble is sure to follow. [12:21] Takeru     What is it? [12:23] Taipei     The intermediary is in contact with     Polka Shinoyama and your sister, sir. [12:28] Takeru     Stand by for now, [12:30] Takeru     but don't wait for orders if things     threaten to turn violent. [12:34] Taipei     As you wish. [12:36] Takeru     Lisa Kuraki. [12:38] Takeru     What a nuisance. [12:41] Polka     I'll be careful. [12:42] Clarissa     Well, in that case, you won't     mind if I tell you here. [12:46] Clarissa     Polka-kun—or rather, Corpse God, [12:49] Clarissa     I'd like to request your services. [12:52] Clarissa     Would you come with me? [12:54] Polka     I don't mind, but I think Takumi-kun     and the others ran into trouble. [12:58] Polka     I can't leave Sayo-san alone. [13:01] Clarissa     Oh, that shouldn't be a problem. [13:05] Clarissa     Young Miss Shinoyama is minding the house. [13:09] Clarissa     Keep her safe until my people get back. [13:13] Taipei     She-fox. [13:16] Takasu     Solitaire snuck in unimpeded. [13:19] Takasu     People of unsound mind turned violent. [13:23] Takasu     A gun was fired at a fellow officer     and then used to commit suicide. [13:28] Takasu     Someone caused a blackout, during which     both Solitaire and Habaki vanished. [13:35] Takasu     This has not been a day for     respecting our territory. [13:40] Iwanome     Um... Did you always suspect     Senior Commissioner Habaki, sir? [13:45] Takasu     He wasn't my only suspect, [13:47] Takasu     but I've been certain we had a     high-ranking mole for some time. [13:54] Takasu     Five years ago, we almost had him, [13:58] Takasu     but then the person closest to the     truth vanished along with the evidence. [14:03] Iwanome     You don't mean...? [14:06] Clarissa     Can you see anything? [14:08] Polka     Yes. Someone newly dead. [14:12] Polka     I can make them visible,     only to the people here. [14:15] Clarissa     Please do. [14:25] Clarissa     You're looking more handsome these days. [14:27] Clarissa     Senior Commissioner Habaki, isn't it? [14:31] Clarissa     It's been a long time, [14:33] Clarissa     but I've finally reached you. [14:36] Hosorogi     Habaki! [14:38] Habaki     I... I r-r-remember... remember you. [14:45] Habaki     Y-Y-You were the one who made     Hosorogi's body d-d-disappear. [14:53] Clarissa     Yes. My condolences. [14:56] Clarissa     "I killed Hosorogi-san out     of misguided infatuation" [15:00] Clarissa     is the scenario I assume     you were going for. [15:04] Hosorogi     Habaki. [15:05] Hosorogi     He was on my list of suspects, [15:08] Hosorogi     but why is he dead?! [15:11] Hosorogi     Did Lisa have him killed?! [15:12] Hosorogi     But why in a place like this? [15:16] Habaki     You didn't hesitate to grind up     your lover's body, you monster. [15:21] Clarissa     Your disgust is the greatest     compliment I could hope for. [15:26] Clarissa     I only have one question for you. [15:29] Clarissa     Who told you to order Hosorogi-san's murder? [15:32] Habaki     You think I'd tell you-ou-ou? [15:36] Clarissa     Polka-kun. [15:37] Polka     I'm already working on it. [15:43] Habaki     All... All right. [15:45] Habaki     I'll tell you as a parting gift! [15:47] Clarissa     What did you do? [15:48] Polka     I cast a spell to guide his mental state. [15:51] Polka     It's a far cry from brainwashing,     but it stoked his craving for attention. [15:57] Habaki     Yes. [15:59] Habaki     I made an offering! [16:01] Habaki     An offering to the     Bastard Children of Sabaramond! [16:07] Polka     You know Sabaramond-san? [16:12] Habaki     That power. [16:13] Habaki     D-Don't tell me you... you're... [16:16] Habaki     the sorcerer from the other side of the sky?! [16:20] Polka     He was looking for me?! [16:23] Habaki     The great one will recognize me now! [16:25] Habaki     I'll be able to teach my     foolish daughter a lesson! [16:31] Clarissa     Daughter? [16:32] Habaki     Yes. That's right! [16:34] Habaki     Oh! I offered everything to the great one! [16:37] Habaki     Even my daughter! [16:40] Habaki     She should be grateful! [16:42] Habaki     She died for the organization! For me! [16:46] Habaki     But she wants revenge on me?! [16:50] Hosorogi     What?! [16:51] Hosorogi     Habaki's memories are in my mind?! [16:55] Habaki     You'll go to a place beyond     your wildest dreams. [16:58] Habaki     You should be grateful. [17:00] Hosorogi     They're reaching me through Polka. [17:04] Hosorogi     Polka? [17:06] Father     Spot me a little cash. You're a     big shot in the empire now, right? [17:06] Hosorogi     Fragments mixed with Habaki's past. [17:09] Hosorogi     Are these Polka's—no, the     Corpse God's—memories? [17:13] (Flashback) Father     I hear you made a killing in     that last war, so come on. [17:18] (Flashback) Father     I need to feed your mom and     your kid siblings, too, y'know? [17:23] (Flashback) Father     Come on. [17:25] (Flashback) Father     C-Come on. Have a heart. [17:29] (Flashback) Father     You might not mind if I starve,     but you care about them, right? [17:32] (Flashback) Father     Come on. [17:42] (Flashback) Father     Sorry. [17:44] (Flashback) Father     Those guys in Nyanild say they'll     give me more drugs if I kill you. [17:51] (Flashback) Father     If you want to blame someone, blame them. [17:54] (Flashback) Father     But why would you hold a grudge, anyway? [17:58] (Flashback) Father     It's not just you. [17:59] (Flashback) Father     Your mom, your little brother and sister... [18:02] (Flashback) Father     I, well, you know, [18:04] (Flashback) Father     sold 'em all for a good price. [18:09] (Flashback) Father     The whole family helped me     out until the bitter end. [18:12] (Flashback) Father     I appreciate it, you know? [18:16] Koruto     Huh? What?! [18:17] Clarissa     What's this? [18:18] Polka     Clarissa-san, [18:20] Polka     I'm still calm. [18:23] Polka     We ought to get more information     out of him. I know that. [18:28] Polka     But... [18:30] Polka     may I do as I please? [18:33] Habaki     Wh-Wh-What are you...? [18:37] Clarissa     No one else in this world can play at     being the grim reaper, Corpse God-kun. [18:43] Clarissa     As you will. [18:56] (Flashback) Emperor     Well, dear friend? [18:58] (Flashback) Emperor     As a necromancer, how does it     feel to become undead yourself? [19:02] (Flashback) Izliz     This cursed object dissolves the     body to prevent resurrection. [19:07] (Flashback) Izliz     Only the Geldwood Order's rotten saint     would prepare something like it. [19:13] (Flashback) Izliz     It was also imbued with     a soul-destroying spell, [19:16] (Flashback) Izliz     but unfortunately for them,      I didn't raise your soul to be so fragile. [19:23] (Flashback) Izliz     Never forget that I made     you undead on a whim. [19:29] (Flashback) Emperor     Oh? Do we misremember? [19:32] (Flashback) Emperor     "Thank goodness we finished the soul     core before his brain broke down." [19:36] (Flashback) Emperor     Those were your words,     and you sounded relieved. [19:39] (Flashback) Izliz     Your memory is faulty. [19:41] (Flashback) Emperor     Sticking to it? [19:43] Emperor     Then do we misremember you     begging Utsurojuza for help, too?

[19:54] (Flashback) Izliz     Your Majesty is entirely mistaken. [19:57] (Flashback) Izliz     You ought to see a healer     and have your head examined. [20:03] (Flashback) Utsurojuza     Could you get any worse, bewitching old hag? [20:07] (Flashback) Emperor     No one else would call our     imperial majesty crazy. [20:11] (Flashback) Utsurojuza     Not a kind word for your apprentice,     and you call His Majesty crazy? [20:16] (Flashback) Utsurojuza     That's as bad as it gets. [20:18] (Flashback) Utsurojuza     Am I wrong? Well, Corpse God? [20:22] (Flashback) Emperor     Now, now, Utsurojuza. Leave it at that. [20:26] (Flashback) Emperor     We are quite sane, but we nearly     lost our head with worry. [20:32] (Flashback) Emperor     All because you went and got yourself     stabbed to death, dear friend. [20:38] (Flashback) Emperor     Hm? What's wrong? [20:39] (Flashback) Izliz     Using bones to speak is a hassle. [20:43] (Flashback) Izliz     Still, I get the gist. [20:46] (Flashback) Izliz     He's confused because Your Majesty     treats him like nothing's changed. [20:52] (Flashback) Izliz     He must have been worried that     undeath would end your friendship. [20:57] (Flashback) Emperor     Were you really? [20:59] (Flashback) Emperor     Then you severely underestimated. [21:03] (Flashback) Emperor     Oh, we don't mean us. [21:06] (Flashback) Emperor     We mean yourself. [21:08] (Flashback) Emperor     And don't think of taking     vengeance on your father. [21:12] (Flashback) Emperor     You needn't sully yourself     for a nobody like him. [21:16] (Flashback) Emperor     Never forget, dear friend.

[21:48] Emperor     How many times must we say it? [21:51] Emperor     You needn't sully yourself     for a nobody like him.

Wait up! [00:16] Arahabaki     You told me to do as I will, remember?! [00:19] Arahabaki     I had to bust up the roof to run after you. [00:22] Civil     Your three minutes were already up. [00:30] Lulu     What's wrong? [00:32] Civil     Oh, just a strange presence. [00:36] Lulu     Strange how? [02:10] Iwanome     Sorry. [02:12] Iwanome     I dragged you all into my problem. [02:14] Arase     It's not only your problem anymore, Iwa-san. [02:18] Arase     Although I do think you got too     emotional about Inspector Hosorogi. [02:25] Kayakusa     Solitaire's involved, so this     was always a case for Comps-3. [02:31] Yatsu     That's right. [02:33] Yatsu     Plus the media's onto the Habaki case,     so it'll be big news. [02:38] Tozawa     They might even go after you, sir. [02:42] Tozawa     You might want to go incognito for a bit. [02:46] Iwanome     Yatsu, Pops... [02:48] Yatsu     Sorry we didn't manage to catch Habaki. [02:51] Iwanome     No, it's fine. [02:54] Iwanome     I'd like to get him before     he flees the country, [02:57] Iwanome     but we don't know the size or strength     of the group we're up against. [03:01] Iwanome     Don't take any chances. [03:02] Tozawa     Yes. I hope we can settle this     before that becomes a problem. [03:11] Polka     I don't remember summoning you,     Your Imperial Majesty. [03:14] Emperor     Have a heart. Appearing here wasn't easy, [03:19] Emperor     and you ignored our warnings     a hundred years ago. [03:24] Emperor     Is it not your turn to yield? [03:29] Emperor     Have no fear. [03:31] Emperor     We came of our own accord     and will soon vanish. [03:35] Emperor     Still, learning this world's     language through you was a delight! [03:43] Koruto     He's so cute! [03:46] Emperor     What a fascinating world this is. [03:48] Emperor     The others long to see     it for themselves, too. [03:51] Polka     I'm sorry, but— [03:53] Emperor     Don't be. [03:55] Emperor     We'll wait patiently until     your heart wants us here. [04:02] Polka     One day, it will. [04:06] Clarissa     Who is he? [04:07] Polka     My friend. [04:09] Polka     From the other world. [04:13] Clarissa     I see. [04:14] Clarissa     You have a good friend. [04:16] Polka     Yes, I do. [04:19] Polka     Although I don't know if     he'll be good for this world. [04:25] Emperor     You're still you,     and we are still us, dear friend. [04:33] Emperor     In life or in death. [04:37] (Flashback) Emperor     Now, we told you not to think of revenge, [04:41] (Flashback) Emperor     but we did not mean you should      abandon hatred and become a saint. [04:50] (Flashback) Emperor     This is partly a whim of ours. [04:56] (Flashback) Father     P-Please... stop! [05:00] (Flashback) Emperor     Izliz. [05:09] (Flashback) Utsurojuza     The old hag and I didn't want     to show you, Corpse God. [05:14] (Flashback) Father     I'm sorry! F-Forgive me! [05:22] (Flashback) Emperor     Taking on our subjects' dirty     work is what we're here for! [05:27] (Flashback) Emperor     So... [05:29] Emperor     You needn't sully yourself, dear friend. [05:43] Polka     Egotistical thinking like that got     Your Imperial Majesty assassinated. [05:48] Emperor     Maybe so! [05:53] Civil     It's gone? [05:56] Civil     I planned to observe a little longer,     but I'll make my move tomorrow. [06:01] Civil     This city seems full of     troublesome residents. [06:05] Civil     Between the Bug and my compatriot, [06:08] Civil     who should I see to first? [06:12] Polka     My wish hasn't changed,     Your Imperial Majesty. [06:17] Polka     I want a world where we     can all live in peace. [06:20] Polka     A world where you won't     need to dirty your hands. [06:24] Polka     That's why [06:26] Polka     I need to get more involved. [06:30] Polka     To reach where the shadows of     that world mingle with this one. [06:38] Higuro     Habaki-san, [06:39] Higuro     I hope the higher-ups take care     of you before you squeal on me. [06:45] Higuro     Should I lie low? [06:48] Higuro     I'd better dispose of this     phone in the next few hou— [06:52] Higuro     Hot! [06:54] Old Woman     Dearie me. You dropped this. [06:56] Higuro     Thanks. Sorry to bother y— [06:59] Higuro     Huh? [07:00] Higuro     Hey! What the—?! [07:02] Higuro     Excuse me, but— [07:03] Man     Hands. Feet. [07:05] Fire-Breathing Bugs     Sabaramond's...

[07:16] Misaki     Oh, hi. Polka-kun? [07:19] Misaki     We're back at the building now. Are you okay? [07:22] Polka     Yes. [07:23] Polka     I'm with Clarissa-san now. [07:26] Sayo     Will duct tape work? [07:28] Xiaoyu     For now. [07:30] Sayo     They're really well-made. [07:33] Xiaoyu     You aren't surprised? [07:35] Sayo     Why would I be? [07:37] Sayo     This is Shinoyama tech, right? [07:40] Sayo     I've asked the same company      to make me robot sharks before. [07:44] Xiaoyu     O-Oh, I see. [07:46] Sayo     Besides, I knew you were     hiding a secret or two. [07:52] Sayo     I'd be surprised if one were     turning into a tiny shark. [07:55] Sayo     Then I'd ask you to marry me. [07:58] Xiaoyu     M-Marry y—?! [08:00] Sayo     I can figure some things out     even if you don't tell me. [08:04] Sayo     You've been working to protect us, right? [08:08] Sayo     Thank you. [08:12] Xiaoyu     No. [08:13] Xiaoyu     You're wrong. [08:14] Xiaoyu     I did it [08:16] Xiaoyu     all for myself. [08:18] Misaki     Kurupon, they want to talk to you. [08:21] Clarissa     Hello. Takumi-kun? [08:23] Clarissa     I hear you hurt your leg.     Come to the bar later. [08:27] Clarissa     I'll ask Kazami to treat     you and issue medicine. [08:31] Takumi     Oh, it's no big deal. [08:33] Takumi     Once the bleeding stops, I'll be— [08:34] Clarissa     Stop arguing and get it fixed up. [08:38] Clarissa     Injuries should scare you. [08:40] Clarissa     If you don't heal them properly, [08:42] Clarissa     they'll come back to haunt you. [08:45] Hosorogi     I knew it, Clarissa. Your eyesight is... [08:49] Hosorogi     Polka, I want you to ask     Lisa something for me. [08:54] Polka     Umm... How did you know that man,      Habaki, was, well... [09:00] Clarissa     Are you curious? [09:03] Clarissa     Well, all I've done is put down roots. [09:08] Clarissa     I couldn't have reached him without     tips from a police insider. [09:12] Hosorogi     What? Who could it be? [09:15] (Flashback) Clarissa     You can locate Habaki, I presume? SIGN    One     Hour Ago [09:17] (Flashback) Tozawa     Yes. [09:18] (Flashback) Tozawa     I stuck a GPS chip on his sleeve. [09:22] (Flashback) Clarissa     And you're fine with this, Tozawa-san? [09:25] (Flashback) Tozawa     Yes. I used my own judgment. [09:28] (Flashback) Clarissa     I know my grandfather saved your wife, [09:32] (Flashback) Clarissa     but is that debt worth     betraying Tsubaki Iwanome? [09:35] (Flashback) Tozawa     Debts don't enter into it. [09:38] (Flashback) Tozawa     I think this case is bigger     than even the troublemakers. [09:42] (Flashback) Tozawa     I want Inspector Iwanome to     stay an honest police officer. [09:47] (Flashback) Tozawa     I'd hate to see him go astray like I did. [09:51] (Flashback) Clarissa     You're a regular mother hen. [09:53] (Flashback) Tozawa     He's strong, but he's still fragile. [09:57] (Flashback) Tozawa     I want him—and all of Comps-3—to walk     the straight and narrow until they mature. [10:04] (Flashback) Tozawa     That's all there is to it. [10:08] Iwanome     Okay! Start with another look at Senior     Commissioner Habaki's call history. [10:12] Iwanome     Check security cameras in     HQ and on the streets, too. [10:15] Iwanome     Follow up on any contact with Habaki     or the officer who committed suicide. [10:18] All     Yes, sir!

[10:25] Iwanome     Sorry, but I'm probably still emotional. [10:28] Iwanome     I've figured out that I can't     track down Hosorogi-san, [10:32] Iwanome     so I'll have to make Hosorogi-san come to me. [10:35] Yatsu     That's easy enough to say, but how, exactly? [10:37] Iwanome     Strong-arm tactics. [10:39] Iwanome     I'll smoke out the organization     Habaki belonged to. [10:43] Iwanome     "Sabaramond" is probably the keyword. [10:46] Iwanome     Everyone in their pocket is going down. [10:50] Iwanome     I'm just going to make a place     Hosorogi-san can come back to. [10:54] Polka     If, er, I managed to find     Hosorogi-san's soul, [10:59] Polka     would you like me to deliver a message? [11:01] Clarissa     Hmm? [11:02] Hosorogi     Polka?! [11:04] Polka     I'm sorry I didn't ask you first. [11:06] Clarissa     Let me think. [11:08] Clarissa     I trampled on Miyabi-san's wishes.

[11:23] Clarissa     But this is who I am now. [11:26] Clarissa     There's no getting around that,      and I don't regret it. [11:29] Clarissa     So, if I could send a message,     it would be just one thing. [11:34] Iwanome     When the inspector comes back,     I know just what to say first.

[17:01] Xiaoyu     But this one was completely destroyed, [17:03] Xiaoyu     so I guess I'll be going     one-armed for a while. [17:07] Xiaoyu     I'm so sorry.

[19:29] Polka     I've seen many people put their     feelings before their lives. [19:35] Rozan     Still, if you let Xiaoyu     in on your secret, too, [19:39] Rozan     you may end up further from     a peaceful life than ever. [19:45] Polka     You have a point. [19:46] Polka     But I'll just end up losing     things if I hold back, [19:52] Polka     so for the sake of the future,     I've decided to push peace back for a while.

[15:31] Higuro     They didn't even tell me that much. [15:33] Higuro     Hi there, everybody! [15:34] Higuro     Ever heard of the     "Bastard Children of Sabaramond"? [15:37] Majiri     It's been smoldering for a century,     but this activity is still so sudden. [15:43] Majiri     Those little dears must have finally realized [15:46] Majiri     the best revenge is roundabout,     by pulling someone down from behind. [15:51] Majiri     I think I'll act, too, then. Let's dance off... [15:55] Majiri     To fetch the little assassin and     our new sister, Misaki-chan. [16:01] Solitaire     You've been burning them for a century?

[16:57] Iwanome     If the Fire-Breathing Bug doesn't     just use fire because they enjoy it, [17:03] Iwanome     then I figured the cause of their     revenge might involve fire. [17:08] Iwanome     And we might have hit the jackpot. [17:10] Yatsu     What's this? A fire in     Shinjuku 100 years ago? [17:15] Yatsu     The corpses of 16 men and women found     in what looked like adjoining cells? [17:21] Iwanome     And half of them seemed like little kids, huh? [17:25] Iwanome     Makes me sick. [17:27] Tozawa     It's strange. [17:29] Tozawa     I'd think I would have heard of such     a devastating fire at least once. [17:35] Iwanome     True.

[18:16] Polka     Who is this person? [18:18] Polka     I knew that Solitaire was     looking for Sabaramond, too. [18:22] Polka     Has he not met those three yet? [18:26] Polka     And won't publicizing the name     "Sabaramond" just make it harder [18:30] Polka     to tell if people using it are legitimate? [18:34] Polka     What's his plan? SIGN    Nothing [18:39] Polka     Anyway, I'll need to prepare     for the fortune telling, [18:44] Polka     so would you be willing to come back     in the evening, three days from now? [18:51] Takeru     Does he need to investigate     before he informs me about them? [18:56] Takeru     If he plans to strike a secret     deal with that foreigner, [19:01] Takeru     is it about his mother, Kanon-sama? [19:06] Takeru     Taipei is having his fortune     told for a story, I believe. [19:10] Takeru     If the reporter gives her     approval, I won't object. [19:13] Kochou     Huh?! [19:14] Kochou     You're dumping this on me?! [19:16] Kochou     But this might work out. [19:18] Kochou     Solitaire, the "Sabaramond" organization... [19:21] Kochou     It all ties back to this building,     or maybe to the Shinoyama family! [19:25] Kochou     I want time to investigate! [19:27] Kochou     I don't mind either. [19:30] Kochou     How about 6:00 p.m., three days from now? [19:32] Polka     All right. I'll see you then. [19:35] Takeru     If we're agreed, then this     is where I leave you. [19:38] Takeru     Bye, Polka. [19:39] Polka     Oh, sure. [19:41] Takeru     Taipei, return and have     your injuries examined. [19:45] Taipei     Yes, sir. [19:51] Takeru     Bao, monitor Polka's activities     for the next three days. [19:55] Bao     Got it. [19:57] Takeru     We'll leave Sayo to her bodyguard, so... [20:00] Takeru     Yomogi. [20:01] Yomogi     Sir. [20:02] Takeru     Investigate that trio. [20:04] Takeru     Don't engage; just find     out what they're doing. [20:07] Yomogi     Understood. [20:08] Takeru     Even if we get Polka to talk, [20:10] Takeru     it's vital that we learn     their motives, as well. [20:16] Takeru     Depending on what we find, [20:17] Takeru     we may be able to make use of them. [20:22] Civil     First an abrupt summons, now a rude welcome. [20:26] Civil     If you want my opinion on that silly video,      I already emailed it to you. [20:30] Leader     The elders have summoned you. [20:33] Leader     Civil-sama, you are to leave the     country and enter hiding immediately. [20:37] Civil     And if I refuse? [20:40] Leader     Since Habaki-dono disappeared,     we answer to the elders. [20:45] Civil     Oh? You would use force? [20:48] Leader     We don't believe that we could     defeat you or Arahabaki-sama, [20:51] Leader     but wouldn't you like to avoid a     stray bullet hitting your attendant? [20:56] Lulu     Um, you really shouldn't! It's not safe! [21:03] Civil     You must be fools to point weapons at Lulu. [21:08] Leader     I-Is this more of your power, Civil-sama?! [21:11] Civil     What? You mean you don't know? [21:15] Misaki     What?! [21:16] Misaki     You mean we can't go rescue the     real Polka-kun right away?! [21:20] Polka     Yes. They'll turn the tables     on us if we aren't careful. [21:24] Polka     Especially that small girl next to him. [21:28] Polka     She's possessed by an elemental. [21:30] Polka     That single spirit might be     capable of leveling this city. [21:38] Civil     The elders are so cruel.

SIGN    Fire     Safety [00:31] Civil     They're afraid of the Bug. [00:33] Civil     They fled this country and built     a remote base in Eastern Europe, [00:38] Civil     so they don't want me leaking information     that could get them burned, too. [00:43] Civil     I do have a stake in this, though,     so I think I'll burn before I get burned. [00:47] Arahabaki     Huh? [00:48] Civil     There's a Japanese saying:     "summer bugs fly to flame." [00:53] Civil     And I'd say I'm the best     bait to draw out this bug. [00:57] Civil     I'll advertise my presence and     gather them all in this city. [01:01] Civil     Doesn't crushing them in one fell     swoop sound like a plan to you? [02:39] Higuro     Can I ask you something? [02:41] Solitaire     Yes? [02:43] Higuro     Why did you visit that     fortune teller's building? [02:47] Higuro     Was that giant swarm of hands     one of your magic tricks? [02:51] Solitaire     Why do you want to know? [02:53] Higuro     Because you may have     already reached your goal.

[03:34] Momoya     This means he made friends     with Solitaire, right? [03:37] Momoya     Do you think he could get me an autograph? [03:40] Momoya     If only Majiri-neesan could get     along with those kids this well. [03:46] Majiri     That must be the building. [03:49] Majiri     I wonder if the little assassin is in.

[07:34] Xiaoyu     But I didn't really hate     him until just recently. [07:40] Xiaoyu     He acts without any regard for     His Lordship's feelings. [07:43] Xiaoyu     I take pride in these limbs     that Rozan-sama gave me. [07:48] Xiaoyu     But he's Rozan-sama's own son. [07:51] Xiaoyu     Doesn't his body, his blood     ties, mean anything to him? [07:57] Xiaoyu     I can never have those ties,     no matter how hard I try.

[13:46] Misaki     So when it comes down to it, just drag     everyone into what you think is best. [13:53] Misaki     I want to get mixed up     in your business, anyway. [13:57] Misaki     Let's go save the real Polka-kun together. [14:02] Polka     Thank you. [14:04] Solitaire     I see. [14:06] Solitaire     You want to advertise your     relation to this "Sabaramond." [14:11] Civil     Yes, I suppose so. [14:13] Civil     I don't care how.     We could even be guests on your show. [14:16] Higuro     Yay! [14:17] Civil     The three of us could dance, if you like. [14:19] Lulu; Arahabaki     Huh?! [14:20] Solitaire     Suspected space aliens dancing?     You have my attention. [14:24] Civil     Aliens? [14:26] Civil     That aside, I thought you were     seeking supernatural phenomena. [14:31] Civil     Doesn't this situation excite you? [14:34] Solitaire     Not really? Secretly, my heart     is swelling with anticipation, [14:38] Solitaire     but I can't make up my mind. [14:40] Civil     About what? [14:42] Solitaire     A feat like yours [14:45] Solitaire     is easy enough to replicate with tricks. [14:49] Civil     Oh? [14:50] Arahabaki     Wait. Seriously? [14:51] Lulu     Does he have a great spirit, too?! [14:55] Iwanome     So this [14:56] Iwanome     is where that fire broke out 100 years ago. [15:00] Iwanome     Now, does anything here connect     to the Fire-Breathing Bug? [15:04] Iwanome     They've prettied up the exterior, [15:07] Iwanome     but something's off. [15:09] Iwanome     A wealthy Shinjuku dynasty owns this place, [15:13] Iwanome     and apparently they paid a     fortune for it after the fire. [15:17] Iwanome     Their descendants live elsewhere,     but they've never tried to sell the place. [15:22] Arase     But are you sure we should be here?     It has nothing to do with Solitaire. [15:27] Iwanome     No, they've been too     close lately to say that. [15:33] Iwanome     At heart, every troublemaker     only follows their own goals. [15:38] Iwanome     Except for the Grocer, none of them     would ever seek each other out. [15:43] Iwanome     But between this "Sabaramond"     group and that symbol, [15:47] Iwanome     this pair's interests overlap too much. [15:50] Arase     You mean Solitaire and the Fire-Breathing     Bug have already joined forces? [15:54] Iwanome     Yeah, probably. And in earnest. [15:59] Solitaire     As for your request, I'd be delighted. [16:03] Solitaire     But on one condition. [16:05] Civil     That sounds like fun. What condition? [16:08] Solitaire     Well, I insist [16:12] Solitaire     that you somehow manage to survive. [16:17] Fire-Breathing Bugs     Never shall we forget the days we've shared, [16:31] Fire-Breathing Bugs     yet 'tis time we go our     separate ways. Goodbye.

[16:50] Solitaire     Oh, so you burst liquid fuel     in midair and set fire to it. [16:56] Solitaire     I hope that's not a mix of     naphthetic and palmitic acids, [16:59] Solitaire     i.e., the fuel for napalm     bombs and flamethrowers. [17:03] Solitaire     Because if it is, the extreme     heat will roast me, too. [17:06] Solitaire     It's not, right? Please say it's not. [17:08] Solitaire     I believe you have at least some morals,     Fire-Breathing Bug-kun. [17:12] Solitaire     Oh, I have a bad feeling about this! [17:16] Civil     Perfect timing. [17:17] Civil     I've been hoping to test this out. [17:20] Civil     Maybe something like... this? [17:24] Arahabaki     Whoa. You've gotta be kidding me. [17:27] Civil     Hmm... Was that right? [17:30] Civil     No, I suppose I need to     follow the proper steps. SIGN    Fire     Safety [17:41] Civil     I sympathize with you Bugs! [17:45] Civil     I can guess what you really are!

SIGN    Fire     Safety [18:12] Civil     I don't know how you did it,     whether by science or magic, [18:15] Civil     but you implanted a lust for revenge     in others—ordinary, innocent people.

[18:33] Civil     In terms of sheer numbers,      you're even worse than they were. [18:36] Fire-Breathing Bug     Exactly. SIGN    Fire     Safety [18:38] Fire-Breathing Bugs     Therefore, we, too, are evil. [18:41] Fire-Breathing Bugs     Merely bugs seared into this world.

[18:54] Civil     Good. If you feel that way,     then I feel no personal guilt. [18:59] Civil     Now, let's slug it out! [19:02] Civil     Put our existences on the line! [19:05] Fire-Breathing Bug     A childish taunt. [19:08] Civil     A smoke screen? It won't work. [19:16] Solitaire     A mass disappearing act?! [19:18] Arahabaki     Huh?! Did they run out on us?! [19:21] Civil     I see. [19:22] Civil     It seems revenge hasn't     given them tunnel vision. [19:26] Civil     I suppose they were evaluating     our combat strength just now.

[19:47] Arahabaki     Yeah. [19:48] Civil     I'd say so. [19:49] Lulu     Yes. [19:50] Solitaire     Well, don't be hasty. [19:51] Solitaire     Allow me to tell you a choice secret instead. [19:55] Arahabaki     Like what? [19:56] Solitaire     The saying "summer bugs fly to flame" [19:57] Solitaire     originates in the Chinese Book     of Liang's "Life of Dao Gai." [19:59] Solitaire     And it's not about tactics or traps. [20:01] Solitaire     You see, an old man jealous of     his more talented grandson— [20:01] Arahabaki     Who cares?! [20:03] Civil     As interesting as that sounds,     I have a different question for you. [20:09] Civil     After you obtained the emblem, [20:11] Civil     why did you visit that building in Shinjuku? [20:14] Civil     Does it have anything to do with the     young fortune teller who lives there? [20:18] Solitaire     Are you certain you don't     have your answer already? [20:23] Solitaire     A bug flying to a flame may be foolish, [20:26] Solitaire     but what if that bug     could withstand the heat? [20:30] Arahabaki     You— SIGN    Better luck      next time [20:32] Arahabaki     Huh? [20:33] Solitaire     And... [20:34] Solitaire     leaping into fire is the only way to     see some worlds.

[20:44] Solitaire     Bewitch me with a world free of     tricks and illusions someday! [20:48] Solitaire     For that, [20:50] Solitaire     I'll enter the fire as     many times as it takes. [20:56] Civil     I knew visiting this country was a good idea. [21:00] Civil     It's done a little to quench the     thirst I've felt since I was born. [21:04] Arahabaki     I don't get any of this! [21:07] Arahabaki     Hey, Boss! What was that big-ass     wind-cannon thing, anyway?! [21:11] Lulu     It wasn't like the great     spirit's power, was it? [21:15] Civil     Oh, that. I tried it, and it worked. [21:17] Arahabaki     You can just do that? [21:20] Civil     Until now, I've only been able to use     magic to enhance my flesh and nerves. [21:25] Civil     I am a failure, after all. [21:28] Civil     Didn't I tell you before we came here?      About my absurd origins. [21:33] Civil     My body was meant for the copied mind     and memory of a sorcerer from the other side. [21:39] Civil     His name was Arius Sabaramond. [21:43] Civil     But in the end, that "great sorcerer"     never appeared in this world. [21:48] Civil     And yet the organization     continues to cling to his name. [21:52] Civil     "The Bastard Children of     Sabaramond." Oh, the irony. [21:57] Civil     I was a failure, unable to so     much as cast a spell, until— [22:02] Civil     Yes, that was the trigger. [22:05] Civil     I'd never felt my mana tampered     with from the outside before. [22:09] Civil     I wondered if I could do it in     reverse, and lucky for us, it worked. [22:14] Arahabaki     There he goes, bragging about his talent. [22:16] Lulu     Amazing, Civil-sama! [22:18] Civil     Well, I'm just starting out. [22:21] Civil     Once I get the hang of it, I can— [22:24] Civil     Oh, I like you, Soara, Lulu. [22:27] Civil     You help me feel the other world. [22:29] Arahabaki     Warn me before you say crap like that. [22:33] Civil     But this world isn't lawless     enough for me to act freely. [22:39] Civil     I've always felt that this     world isn't where I belong. [22:44] Civil     I was made on the other side,      so I want to go back. [22:48] Civil     Back to the precious     homeland I've never seen. [22:53] Civil     If I can't return, then I hope [22:56] Civil     this world can at least offer     something to cure my boredom. [23:04] Civil     Hello. I'm impressed you found this number. [23:07] Civil     We've never spoken directly before.     Are introductions in order? [23:11] Grocer     Oh, no. Not at all, Sabaramond-sama. [23:16] Grocer     You've been patronizing our     store since before we relocated. [23:20] Civil     Since you called, I assume     you've stocked my order?

[02:38] Iwanome     Right. [02:40] Iwanome     So we couldn't dig deeper then, [02:43] Iwanome     but with these documents     I think we have a shot. [02:46] Iwanome     Thanks, Hosorogi-san.

SIGN    Fire     Safety [03:31] Takeru     Who are these people holding umbrellas? [03:34] Takeru     "Fire." [03:36] Takeru     Solitaire. [03:40] Takeru     Could they be... the Fire-Breathing Bug?

[03:54] Polka     But if Takeru-san sees them as a threat to     the Shinoyamas, he may choose to send aid. [04:01] Misaki     What about after we rescue Polka-kun? [04:04] Polka     I think I can hold off the     elemental. And then... [04:08] Misaki     Me and Xiaoyu-kun get our time to shine! [04:11] Xiaoyu     I've gotten the hang of my right arm.

[04:21] Takumi     Where'd that come from?! [04:22] Sayo     My point is, what should we     call you versus the real Polka? [04:26] Misaki     Good point. We might get     confused when it counts. [04:29] Takumi     We only know you as "the Corpse God." [04:32] Takumi     You said your real name's hard     to say in Japanese, right? [04:37] Misaki     Polka-kun? [04:38] Polka     Sorry. I lied. [04:41] Polka     It is a bit tricky to say,     but hardly unpronounceable. [04:46] Polka     I just didn't want to tell you because     it brings back unpleasant memories. [04:50] Polka     But this is a good chance,     so I'll tell you now. [04:54] Polka     My real name is— [04:57] Polka     Wait. [04:58] Polka     The real Polka-kun's     location started to move. [05:05] Yomogi     The two women just left the hotel. [05:08] Takeru     Two of the three? [05:12] Takeru     What happened to the other one? [05:17] Polka     Huh? [05:18] Misaki     What's up?

[06:04] Civil     You must have lived in such confusion.     I feel for you. [06:08] Civil     But you shouldn't shun your power.     You should take pride in it. [06:13] Civil     The power you inherited from your mother     comes from the same world as mine. [06:19] Polka     What are you talking about? [06:21] Civil     Your mother, Kanon Shinoyama. [06:24] Civil     Or rather, a descendant of a     clan with the Elemental Eye, [06:28] Civil     Kanomshelin Redrazalf. [06:34] Polka     What did he just say? [06:37] Misaki     Polka-kun? What's wrong? [06:39] Polka     I always wondered why I     reincarnated into this body. [06:45] Polka     I should have delved deeper into     Polka-kun's memories before now. [06:50] Polka     This faint memory in his deepest depths... [06:54] Polka     This feeling so distant     it threatens to vanish... [07:01] Polka     It's the name of someone     I ultimately failed to save. [07:07] Polka     I never thought I'd hear it in this world. [07:11] Polka     I wonder if she found a     peaceful life in the end. [07:15] Polka     Mom. [07:19] Polka     I placed one condition on     my reincarnation spell: [07:23] Polka     that I would possess the newly deceased     body of a member of my people. [07:29] Polka     I never dreamed it would link me to Mom,     or that she'd come to this world. [07:34] Misaki     Polka-kun? [07:36] Polka     Polka-kun, [07:38] Polka     could you "see," too? [07:40] Polka     Mom might have taught you so many things. [07:52] Polka     Oh, we have so much to talk about. [07:58] Polka     I need to speak with you again, face-to-face.

[09:59] Polka     Arius-san never tried to dodge     his responsibility as a superior. [10:04] Civil     So you do know Arius well. [10:08] Civil     I've never met him, [10:11] Civil     but being compared to him and found     wanting kind of rubs me the wrong way, [10:16] Civil     since he basically birthed me into     this world and then abandoned me. [10:22] Polka     He abandoned you? [10:23] Civil     I'd say none of us is in     the mood to chat anymore, [10:26] Civil     so I'd like you to show me your power.

[13:42] (Flashback) Saimyouji     Modern science doesn't approach     human experimentation this way. [13:46] Iwanome     So, the Fire-Breathing Bug inside all of you [13:49] Iwanome     is a pseudo-personality     implanted using hypnosis. [13:53] Iwanome     The first Fire-Breathing Bugs are dead now, [13:56] Iwanome     but they used that trick to     multiply their will in this world. [14:00] Iwanome     Isn't that right? [14:04] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     I see. [14:05] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     So, someone has arrived at the truth. [14:09] Iwanome     I didn't do it alone. [14:11] Iwanome     My predecessors laid the groundwork     chasing all kinds of cases. [14:16] Iwanome     Although that must come     off as ironic to you guys. [14:19] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     Never mind. You are righteous human beings. [14:25] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     But how will you prove our crimes? [14:30] Iwanome     All the arson you've committed would     be tough to explain or prosecute. [14:36] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     Then, why come here? [14:40] Iwanome     Even if I can't arrest you, I figure     I can stop you from striking again. [14:46] Iwanome     Aiding and abetting a crime. [14:49] Iwanome     You work with him, right? [14:52] Iwanome     We're currently on the Solitaire task force. [14:56] Solitaire     Now, I insist you show me! [14:59] Solitaire     Show the moment this world flips over! [15:08] Lulu     What's wrong? [15:10] Arahabaki     Something made a big crash somewhere. [15:13] Arahabaki     I'll run ahead! Lulu! [15:15] Arahabaki     R-Right! [15:20] Polka     His sorcery is primitive.     He's just firing mana. [15:23] Polka     It makes no sense, even if he's holding back. [15:25] Polka     He enhances his body well, but he     casts other spells like an amateur! [15:30] Civil     A necromancer! You're the     luckiest find I could hope for, [15:34] Civil     but you refuse to become my friend! [15:37] Civil     And you say you want "peace"?! [15:40] Civil     With all your power?! [15:42] Civil     That's a bad joke! [15:44] Polka     You may be right, but I won't stop. [15:48] Polka     My brother and my friends live in this world. [15:52] Polka     I won't let you stand in     the way of peace here. [15:56] Arahabaki     Fortune teller brat! [15:58] Arahabaki     You've gone and done it now! [16:01] Arahabaki     Looks like [16:02] Arahabaki     I'd better get seri— [16:08] Civil     Good idea. [16:10] Civil     I think you'd better give your     all against that one, too. [16:13] Arahabaki     Gimme a break. [16:15] Arahabaki     Another brat? [16:20] Lulu     Civil-sama?! [16:21] Lulu     Great spirit!     Please, grant Civil-sama your protection! [16:25] Lulu     Please, I beg you! [16:28] Lulu     A warning from the great spirit? [16:30] Lulu     And... I've never felt one so strong before. [16:38] Misaki     Found you! [16:40] Misaki     Polka-kun [16:42] Misaki     is coming back with me! [16:43] Lulu     Huh? [16:45] Civil     Ah, yes. Truly magnificent! [16:49] Civil     I'm so glad it was you! [16:50] Civil     I'm only glad because it was you! [16:52] Civil     A mere sorcerer could never change the world! [16:56] Civil     You, however, can revolutionize     this world all on your own. [17:00] Civil     Your necromancy does nothing less     than prove the existence of the soul! [17:04] Civil     How many powerful people do you think     crave eternal selfhood, even as a zombie? [17:10] Civil     Make contracts with them, [17:12] Civil     and you could even paint over this     boring world with brand new values! [17:18] Civil     And even if you don't want that, [17:21] Civil     with our powers combined, you and I could     bore a hole to the other side of the sky! [17:27] Civil     We could go home! [17:28] Civil     Leave this dull world for     one where we truly belong! [17:34] Civil     Whether you want it or not, [17:37] Civil     if you won't change the world,     we have no place here. [17:42] Polka     Huh? [17:43] Polka     I don't believe it! [17:45] Polka     His spells are starting to take proper shape! [17:48] Civil     Thank you for dazzling me with     so many displays of your power. [17:52] Civil     With your help, I'm slowly getting a handle [17:55] Civil     on how to use magic. [17:59] Polka     He was definitely an amateur     until a moment ago. [18:03] Polka     He got this far just by seeing my spells? [18:06] Polka     He's brilliant. [18:07] Civil     Now, let's fire a salute     to celebrate our meeting. [18:18] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     I knew you'd use fire,     just like 100 years ago, SIGN    Fire     Safety [18:25] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     Sabaramond. [18:36] Civil     So, this is the world you     sorcerers saw on the other side! [18:44] Polka     Elemental sorcery without elementals. [18:47] Polka     That power doesn't exist in this world. [18:50] Civil     No, it doesn't! [18:52] Civil     Freaks with power like     this shouldn't be here! [18:55] Civil     You and I should either return to that world, [18:59] Civil     or transform this one. [19:02] Civil     Now, let's flip the world over. [19:04] Civil     You've done it once before,     haven't you, Corpse God? [19:09] Civil     Or perhaps I should call you [19:12] Civil     Rizdilusia Redrazalf, the Emperor Slayer? [19:16] Polka     So, you know that much. [19:18] Civil     I've read and reread reports on     the Byandy Empire's major players. [19:23] Civil     My heart leaped and burned with longing [19:27] Civil     for the fairy tale world I couldn't     touch, even though it birthed me. [19:33] Civil     Now, show me more! More power     from the other side of the sky! [19:40] Xiaoyu     She's gradually adjusting     to my speed and movements. [19:44] Xiaoyu     My right arm is my ace in the hole. [19:45] Xiaoyu     If I don't finish her off     with my first strike, [19:47] Xiaoyu     she'll probably counter it. [19:50] Arahabaki     How does this guy know how I move? [19:54] Xiaoyu     I never thought training with those     tigers would pay off like this. [19:57] Xiaoyu     They breathe similarly when they attack. [19:59] Xiaoyu     No, make that "almost identically." [20:02] Xiaoyu     She's a savage beast in human form. [20:05] Xiaoyu     And that's why I have a better     shot against her than the tigers! [20:08] Xiaoyu     She's doesn't defy reason. [20:11] Xiaoyu     That's reserved for people     like Majiri Agakura [20:14] Xiaoyu     and Lemmi— [20:20] Lulu     Great spirit, why?! [20:24] Misaki     Is this what that "elemental" can do? [20:27] Misaki     Wow! It's got no, like... How do I put this? [20:31] Misaki     You know how hostility and     stuff signals attacks? [20:33] Misaki     I couldn't sense any of that! [20:35] Lulu     E-Excuse me? [20:36] Misaki     Oh, I'm Misaki. Nice meeting you! [20:40] Misaki     I know this is sudden, but would you     give me back that shark plushie? SIGN    Squeeze [20:45] Lulu     I can't do that! [20:47] Lulu     Guarding this is my assigned duty! [20:52] Misaki     That figures. [20:53] Misaki     Okay, I get it. [20:54] Misaki     So, unless I slip past this thing, [20:56] Misaki     I can't rescue the real Polka-kun. [21:00] Takumi     Oh, damn it! [21:01] Takumi     How's he gonna get this under control?! [21:04] Takumi     Can you seriously handle this, Polka? [21:06] Polka     You're right. [21:08] Takumi     Huh? [21:09] Polka     In the end, both you and     I clash with this world. [21:15] Polka     And my presence as a stranger to this world [21:18] Polka     attracted an elemental     that could level this city [21:21] Polka     and you, a wielder of otherworldly powers. [21:27] Polka     So I'll put a stop to you here and     return this body to Polka-kun. [21:31] Polka     Then, if I go off somewhere and disappear, [21:35] Polka     this city will know peace. [21:37] Polka     I don't know how the documents     you read described me, [21:43] Polka     but this is no fairy tale. [21:45] Polka     Regret that you opposed me. [21:49] Polka     My name and rank perished with my country. [21:55] Polka     Only a soul that failed to die remains. [21:59] Polka     I am accustomed to playing the world's foe.

[03:18] Civil     I love it! [03:19] Civil     Although I can't fathom why you     feel so attached to this world. [03:24] Civil     And "return" your body? [03:27] Civil     Oh, I see! [03:29] Civil     As a necromancer, you're only possessing it! [03:32] Polka     Correct. [03:35] Polka     And I shall possess you next. [03:39] Takumi     Part of me [03:41] Takumi     resonated with his wish to live in peace. [03:47] Takumi     Seriously, how did things end up like this? [03:50] Takumi     Oh, crap! [03:52] Takumi     Why the hell did I end up feeling like this?! [03:55] Takumi     This isn't like me, damn it! [04:03] Takumi     Hey! Polka! [04:05] Polka     Huh? [04:06] Takumi     Stop looking down on us, asshole! [04:09] Misaki     Kurupon? [04:11] Takumi     What gives?! Who the hell asked you     to start saying your goodbyes?! [04:15] Takumi     You "clash with this world"?! [04:19] Takumi     Sure, what you can do     scares the pants off me! [04:22] Takumi     I figured I'd better steer clear of you!

[04:34] Takumi     And now you're just gonna up and leave?! [04:37] Takumi     You were the one who told me, remember?! [04:40] (Flashback) Polka     I've got no secrets worth     more than a friend's life. [04:45] Takumi     So take your friends seriously! [04:47] Takumi     Plus, me and Misaki's job [04:50] Takumi     is helping mediate between     you and this world! [04:57] Kochou     A blackout?! [04:58] Takumi     I hijacked the power and all     the cameras in that area! [05:02] Takumi     You shouldn't show up on any     public footage for a while. [05:05] Takumi     Don't force yourself to play villain or hero. [05:10] Takumi     Go all out your own way, Corpse God! [05:15] Polka     Takumi-kun... [05:17] Civil     Hmm? [05:18] Civil     I get it now. The kids in     that building chain you down. [05:24] Civil     Then I'll start by— [05:26] Polka     You'll start by doing what? [05:30] Civil     You seem different again. [05:33] Polka     Oh, right. [05:34] Polka     I don't need to act villainous, do I? [05:37] Polka     I know what you have in mind. [05:40] Polka     So I'll say this again: [05:43] Polka     I'll stop you. [05:45] Civil     Gems? [05:46] Civil     Is he replenishing mana? [05:48] Civil     But what is he doing with so many?! [05:51] Polka     For everyone— [05:52] Polka     No. [05:54] Polka     For a whim of mine: the peace of this city. [06:10] Civil     Where on earth did he     get so many mana stones? [06:14] Civil     After all your talk, I guess you still used [06:17] Civil     the wealth that belongs to     that body—to Polka Shinoyama! [06:21] Polka     This is money I earned, [06:24] Polka     plus support from my cherished friends. [06:28] Polka     That's right. For all my immaturity,     people were willing to help me. [06:33] Polka     In this world [06:35] Polka     and in that one. [06:37] (Flashback) Takumi     Take your friends seriously! [06:40] Polka     I guess he's right. [06:48] Civil     Your "whim" is "the peace of this city"? [06:52] Civil     That's already over. [06:54] Civil     These are only some of the     people my attacks just killed. [06:59] Civil     You can take out the security cameras,     but you can't pretend this never happened. [07:05] Civil     Neither of us can! [07:09] Polka     You've got one thing wrong. [07:12] Polka     No one in this city has died yet today. [07:17] Polka     My preparations made sure of that. [07:20] Civil     Don't tell me...?! [07:22] Polka     This city currently contains     almost no living humans. [07:26] Polka     It's already inside my Temple. [07:29] Civil     Everyone here is a shade?! [07:32] Civil     Then... he even placed wards     to keep people out?! [07:34] Polka     So right now, I don't need to hold back. [07:41] Takeru     Hm? [07:42] Takeru     What's going on? [07:43] Taipei     Forgive me, sir. [07:45] Taipei     I haven't managed to get close yet. [07:48] Taipei     I'm taking sniper fire. [07:49] Taipei     They seem focused on delaying m— [07:55] Clarissa     This is all we can do. [07:58] Clarissa     We'll provide you this city: Shinjuku. [08:02] Clarissa     Now, do as you please. [08:06] Civil     You and the bat are no different. [08:08] Civil     Why don't you try to change this world? [08:11] Civil     You're neglecting the power you've gained. [08:17] Civil     In fact, you treat it with contempt! [08:19] Polka     I wouldn't say that. [08:22] Polka     Someone far, far more powerful     and exceptional than me [08:26] Polka     still wished for peace. [08:29] Polka     An enemy necromancer controlled     me and set me up as an assassin. [08:36] Polka     I'm a hopeless fool of a corpse. [08:39] Polka     But this mighty person still     called me their dear friend. [08:46] Civil     Who could you possibly mean? [08:49] Polka     Didn't I tell you my cherished     friends helped me out? [08:53] Polka     Thanks to their support,     I was able to ask for his aid. [09:02] Emperor     So, you've called on us at last. [09:05] Polka     I'm sorry. It took a long time, [09:09] Polka     but I found something I want     to protect no matter what. [09:13] Polka     Would Your Imperial Majesty assist me? [09:18] Polka     No. [09:19] Polka     Would you lend me a hand, [09:22] Polka     dear friend? [09:27] Civil     "Imperial Majesty"?! [09:29] Civil     Don't tell me... [09:30] Civil     that's Flamrodia Byandylaz,     former Emperor of Byady?! [09:36] Civil     Why?! [09:37] Civil     I read the Corpse God was an     arch-traitor who killed his emperor! [09:41] Civil     So why is he here?! [09:43] Civil     Why do they have a contract?! [09:46] Emperor     What did we tell you? [09:48] Emperor     Whatever you become, we and our     empire will always stand by you. [09:55] Civil     Necromancer! [09:58] Civil     Do you expect me to believe you     took in the whole fallen empire?! [10:03] Emperor     Don't make light of the Corpse God,      our imperial court sorcerer! [10:14] Emperor     Still, ambient magic truly is scarce. [10:17] Emperor     Refining mana will take some time. [10:20] Palomy     Then I'd better buy you that time! [10:23] Rachabenia     I shall shelter the city's     towers with my mystic thread. [10:27] Leuf     I believe another area demands my attention. [10:31] Polka     Please take care of it.

SIGN    Fire     Safety [10:55] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     Danger. Must burn. [10:58] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     Before anything happens, SIGN    Fire     Safety [11:01] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     before tragedy strikes, [11:03] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     we must burn it and this city. [11:09] Suzuka     Would you please wait a moment? [11:14] Solitaire     Young lady, how on earth...? [11:16] Suzuka     Shouldn't you watch and judge     whether he brings this world harm? SIGN    Fire     Safety [11:22] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4     By what right, by what fate do you stop us? [11:29] Suzuka     It is my business, if that's what you mean. [11:33] Suzuka     You see, I was burned... [11:38] Suzuka     by a fake bug who desperately admired you. [11:42] Suzuka     And I owe him a debt. [11:46] Solitaire     Could the strange sensation I've been     feeling have brought her into being? [11:53] Solitaire     Well, what do you say,     Fire-Breathing Bug-kun? [11:58] Iwanome     Sure, you may have a right to revenge. [12:03] Yatsu     Boss! [12:06] Iwanome     Still, protecting this city's our job. SIGN    Fire     Safety [12:10] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     And you include members of     Sabaramond in this city? [12:16] Iwanome     I include the ordinary citizens     you're possessing right now! [12:20] Iwanome     Even if you get your revenge,     the blood on their hands won't disappear! [12:26] Iwanome     You're screwing up their lives by     making them stand here as we speak! [12:33] Iwanome     I'll get your revenge a different way. [12:36] Iwanome     At least, I'll find every     Sabaramond scumbag in Japan, [12:40] Iwanome     and crush 'em! [12:42] Iwanome     So let those innocent people go. SIGN    Fire Safety [12:46] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     You expect us to simply     trust you and disappear? [12:51] Iwanome     I won't ask for that. [12:52] Iwanome     If watching your revenge play     out means so much to you, [12:57] Iwanome     go ahead and copy your will onto me. [13:05] Lulu     Why would you go so far? [13:09] Misaki     Hmm... I wonder. [13:10] Misaki     Not to atone, and not     to repay a debt, either. [13:16] Misaki     I can't put it into words, but I     can just kind of tell, you know? [13:21] Misaki     I feel like giving up now would make     who I've been since I met Polka a lie. [13:28] Misaki     So I'm gonna cut loose a little! [13:37] Misaki     You'll give back that shark plushie     whether you like it or not! [13:43] Lulu     Could you be... a vampire?! [13:47] Misaki     What gave it away? [13:49] Lulu     What?! [13:55] Lulu     No! [14:02] Arahabaki     I'm getting nowhere! [14:04] Arahabaki     What the hell is your deal?! [14:06] Arahabaki     Are you that Lemmings guy, maybe? [14:10] Arahabaki     Well, then, [14:11] Arahabaki     I'm gonna step a little bit     harder on the gas pedal. [14:17] Arahabaki     How is this brat not freaking     out over this form?! [14:21] Xiaoyu     I hate to break it to you, [14:22] Xiaoyu     but I know someone just like you! [14:25] Xiaoyu     In movement, breathing, and even spirit! [14:36] Xiaoyu     I somehow managed to control— [14:38] Xiaoyu     An earthquake?! [14:40] Polka     This is... [14:41] Polka     Did the elemental take action? [14:44] Polka     But I'll have to let someone else handle it. [14:46] Polka     I have bigger problems. [14:50] Rachabenia     He's refining his circles, growing     closer to mastery with every touch. [14:57] Palomy     Who does that amateur think he is? [14:59] Polka     He really must be a genius. [15:03] Polka     But even then, how can he endure a court     sorcerer's spells and remain standing? [15:08] Polka     As a resident of this world,     he shouldn't even be a sorcerer. [15:13] Polka     This feeling... I've sensed     it since I met him. [15:18] Polka     It almost feels like... [15:20] Polka     I'm facing Arius-san. [15:24] Xiaoyu     I don't want to risk my life     for anyone but His Lordship. [15:27] Xiaoyu     But if he wishes it, [15:29] Xiaoyu     I'll work for the Shinoyamas. [15:32] Xiaoyu     So keep your head in the clouds like always. [15:37] Xiaoyu     Stay oblivious to my ugly jealousy [15:40] Xiaoyu     and go on living at His Lordship's     side with that dopey grin. [15:44] Misaki     Trying to get Polka-kun back? [15:46] Misaki     Nope! Seems more like you're attacking me! [15:50] Misaki     So Polka-kun will be safer     if I get him away from— [15:54] Xiaoyu     Sakimiya-san! [15:56] Misaki     Xiaoyu-kun! [15:57] Misaki     Take the real Polka-kun! [16:03] Xiaoyu     Sakimiya-san! [16:12] Xiaoyu     Huh? [16:15] Xiaoyu     Wow! [16:16] Xiaoyu     It was only her body before. [16:19] Xiaoyu     Can she seriously do things     on that level now?! [16:27] Xiaoyu     I got saved? [16:30] Xiaoyu     Does that mean... someone's     interfering in this fight?! [16:33] Misaki     Huh? We're falling? [16:38] Leuf     No wonder the elemental acts so wary. [16:42] Leuf     I never dreamed that monster     had come to this world. [16:46] Lulu     Wh-Who are you? [16:52] Leuf     Dear me. [16:54] Leuf     Has even Elemental Speech perished     in the century since I was killed? [16:59] Leuf     How depressing. [17:02] Leuf     Still, I'm glad I entrusted     my soul to the Corpse God. [17:08] Leuf     I'd never have seen     my descendant's face otherwise. [17:14] Majiri     I can't believe that boy     found a dragon's arm. [17:18] Majiri     I wouldn't have sliced his     prosthetic off if I'd known. [17:22] Bao     Looks like the danger has passed. [17:25] Bao     Thank you for explaining the danger     approaching my brother after our fight. [17:31] Bao     So I'll keep our pact. [17:34] Bao     We have a truce [17:35] Bao     until Xiaoyu chooses his path. [17:41] Civil     I don't believe it.     You stopped the elemental? [17:49] Civil     And here I was getting the hang of things. [17:51] Emperor     If you came this far on your own,      we're impressed. [17:55] Civil     But losing to you like this     wouldn't sit right with me. [17:59] Civil     I'll go out doing everything in my power! [18:02] Rachabenia     That's...! [18:04] Polka     He's not just like Arius-san. [18:07] Polka     He's using Arius-san's magic circle! [18:11] Palomy     Not good! He'll blow the city     sky high if we don't stop him! [18:15] Polka     You haven't lost. [18:17] Polka     In terms of raw power, you far exceed me. [18:22] Polka     I merely borrowed—no, wielded power. [18:26] Polka     I used everyone like tools. [18:29] Emperor     As you should. [18:31] Emperor     We and the rest are long dead,      relics of the past. [18:35] Emperor     Use us till we break, and forge ahead. [18:39] Emperor     After all, you live in the here and now. [18:44] Polka     I already died in the other world. [18:47] Polka     The me here... is just a corpse. [18:50] Emperor     Living isn't about whether your body is dead. [18:53] Emperor     It's about whether you face forward.      Right, Corpse God? [18:57] Emperor     No, [18:59] Emperor     Riz! [19:01] Emperor     In this world, follow your own will, [19:04] Emperor     and this time protect      everything you want to! [19:07] Polka     Unlike me, you only ever looked far forward. [19:12] Polka     Back then, I didn't understand how you     could keep your gaze fixed straight ahead. [19:18] Polka     But now, I think I have a vague idea. [19:23] Polka     This time, I'll drag you into my business. [19:28] Emperor     Make way. [19:31] Civil     What a beautiful magic circle. [19:36] Civil     I feel like I did back then,     when I first saw a spellbook. [19:47] Civil     So, this is the end. [19:49] Civil     Still, I had fun. [19:57] Iwanome     If watching your revenge play     out means so much to you, [20:01] Iwanome     go ahead and copy your will onto me. [20:04] Yatsu     Iwa-san! [20:05] Iwanome     Don't offer to take my place, any of you. [20:08] Iwanome     I made this decision on my— [20:13] Arase     Excuse me. [20:14] Iwanome     Huh? [20:16] Yatsu     Whoa. [20:18] Arase     I kept my promise. [20:19] Arase     You were got worked up again,     so I stopped you with my fists. [20:23] Iwanome     Y-You could hold back. [20:25] Arase     I did. [20:26] Arase     I know you, Iwa-san. [20:28] Arase     You were thinking of     Hosorogi-san, weren't you? [20:31] Arase     Please don't forget. [20:34] Arase     As far as we're concerned,      you're part of the city we protect, too. [20:39] Iwanome     Sorry. [20:41] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     We respect your resolve. SIGN    Fire     Safety SIGN    Fire     Safety [20:46] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     We will wait and see [20:50] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     whether that boy is a bug. [20:54] Iwanome     "That boy"? [20:56] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     Whether we disappear      for good depends on you. [21:03] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 5     Huh? [21:04] Fire-Breathing Bugs     Where am I? [21:04] Fire-Breathing Bugs     Huh? [21:05] Fire-Breathing Bugs     What?

Can I have your autograph?! [21:12] Solitaire     Indeed you may! [21:14] Solitaire     I'm actually something     of a celebrity, you know! [21:16] Solitaire     Would you like one, too, ghostly young la— [21:20] Solitaire     Oh? [21:26] Arahabaki     Am I dreaming? [21:28] Arahabaki     Come to think of it, those shitheads at     the lab did say the heart they gave me [21:35] Arahabaki     was the core of a magic tiger with two heads. [21:40] Arahabaki     That tickles. [21:43] Civil     I'm alive? [21:45] Polka     You suffered serious wounds,     but they didn't kill you outright. [21:50] Polka     I patched you up with corpses,     but living flesh should grow back in time. [21:56] Civil     Why did you save me? [21:58] Civil     You're a necromancer. [22:00] Civil     You should have just     killed and controlled me. [22:04] Polka     You overpaid. I just gave     you your change in magic. [22:09] Civil     I gave you that... [22:11] Polka     Besides... [22:11] Lulu     Civil-sama! [22:13] Polka     I couldn't see or hear anything     during that thunderous crash, [22:19] Polka     but at that moment, [22:21] Polka     I didn't want to make a child sad. [22:25] Polka     I don't like taking things from children. [22:29] Civil     You may regret it. [22:32] Polka     Maybe. [22:33] Polka     But when I do, [22:35] Polka     I'll use all my power to protect     everyone from the start. [22:40] Civil     All right. [22:42] Civil     I'll give up on returning     to our world for now. [22:46] Civil     I've learned this world     is worth living in, too. [22:51] Misaki     Polka-kun! [22:53] Lulu     Civil-sama!
