**[00:48] Commander**
Send the wounded to the sorcerers!
Everyone else, fall back!
**[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.*

*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.*

**[11:58] Polka**
*No, I understand parts of it.*

* 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?!*
