[00:04] Koruto
    Huh?
[00:05] Koruto
    Who's that guy?
[00:14] Arahabaki
    Hey, Boss! 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...
[07:07] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Eyes.
[07:08] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Ears.
[07:09] Fire-Breathing Bugs
    Catch him-im-im.
[07:11] Higuro
    Maybe running wasn't such
    a great idea after all.
[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!

[10:20] Iwanome
    Arase, you and me will work on this.
[10:22] Arase
    You seem awfully enthusiastic.
[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.
[11:12] Clarissa
    Miyabi-san never wanted me
    to become what I am now.
[11:17] Clarissa
    An intermediary, inheriting the secret
    family trade like my grandfather wanted.
[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.
[11:39] Clarissa; Iwanome
    Hosorogi-san,
[11:41] Clarissa
    goodbye, my love.
[11:44] Iwanome
    it's good to have you back!

[12:17] Misaki
    Welcome back!
[12:18] Polka
    Misaki-chan, you seem fine.
[12:21] Misaki
    Yup! Never been better!
[12:24] Polka
    Takumi-kun.
[12:26] Polka
    I could cast a spell to repair
    your body, if you'd like.
[12:29] Takumi
    Huh? You can do that?
[12:31] Polka
    If I temporarily render part of you a corpse...
[12:34] Takumi
    Nah, I'm good with normal medicine.
[12:36] Takumi
    I'll take you up on that if I
    ever get a fatal wound, though.
[12:39] Polka
    Okay.
[12:41] Polka
    I can't leave things as they are.
[12:44] Polka
    If I want a world where I can
    live in peace with everyone,
[12:47] Polka
    I ought to take the initiative and step up.

[12:55] Solitaire
    Hmm...
[12:56] Solitaire
    May I have a moment?
[12:58] Solitaire
    Who is this man sitting here?
[13:01] Solitaire
    An innocent bystander who learned
    the Fire-Breathing Bug's identity?
[13:05] Solitaire
    I think not.
[13:07] Solitaire
    He probably works with Habaki,
[13:11] Solitaire
    which would mean he's
    involved with this symbol.
[13:16] Solitaire
    You've been incinerating every
    member of the organization,
[13:19] Solitaire
    but perhaps you've sensed
    the limits of that strategy.
[13:24] Solitaire
    Now that the organization is exposed,
    the situation will change considerably.
[13:30] Solitaire
    And so, you tried a new approach!
[13:34] Solitaire
    You'll reach the organization's
    root to crush it!
[13:38] Solitaire
    So you turned to me, the man who
    flushed out this fellow and Habaki.
[13:46] Fire-Breathing Bug
    Exactly.
[13:49] Fire-Breathing Bug
    You catch on quick.
[13:50] Fire-Breathing Bug
    I knew I could count on you.
[13:51] Solitaire
    Talk can be vital to the magician's art.
     That was simplicity itself.
[13:57] Solitaire
    To reach this level, I...
[13:57] Higuro
    I pegged him as just a
    criminal with a screw loose,
[14:00] Solitaire
    The magician is operating! The magician
    is operating! The magician is operating!
[14:01] Higuro
    but did he plan this down
    to every last detail?
[14:04] Solitaire
    And there you have it!
[14:05] Solitaire
    I can't believe I guessed right!
[14:08] Solitaire
    I even had a pratfall ready
    for when they said no!
SIGN    FWOOMP!
[14:13] Higuro
    Uh... I have no idea what
    you're talking about.
[14:16] Higuro
    Can I please go home now?
[14:19] Solitaire
    Hmm...
[14:21] Solitaire
    Rubbing elbows with troublemakers has
    given me a nose for these things.
[14:26] Solitaire
    You smell like you've killed multiple people.
[14:30] Solitaire
    So whatever I do to you,
    I'll get away with it—or die!
[14:34] Higuro
    Do you have a scientific basis for that?
[14:37] Higuro
    If I turned out to be a normal guy,
    wouldn't that wound your pride?
[14:43] Solitaire
    Worry not.

    I kidnapped Prime Minister Kubikigawara.

    Damn that thrill-seeker.
[15:09] Takeru
    I see there was activity
    at Polka's building, too.
[15:11] Taipei
    Yes, sir.
[15:12] Taipei
    The data broker is wounded, and Miss
    Sayo's bodyguard lost a prosthetic arm.
[15:19] Taipei
    I suspect they engaged a hostile force.
[15:24] Takeru
    You sound detached.
[15:25] Takeru
    Isn't that bodyguard a Lei, like you?
[15:28] Taipei
    No, we've cut ties.
     He doesn't need my concern.
[15:33] Taipei
    Still, he is fairly capable.

    And, strangely, my entire savings

    Hi. It's me.
[16:28] Rozan
    I heard the news.
[16:30] Rozan
    One of your arms got scrapped, right?
[16:33] Xiaoyu
    Huh?!
[16:33] Xiaoyu
    Oh, y-yes. In a fight with the Agakuras.
[16:36] Rozan
    Yeah, I heard that, too.
[16:39] Xiaoyu
    Huh?
[16:40] Rozan
    First of all, I'm glad you're alive.
[16:43] Rozan
    And you kept the people in
    that building safe, too.
[16:46] Rozan
    Good work.
[16:48] Rozan
    Thanks, Xiaoyu.
[16:52] Xiaoyu
    Y-You don't need to thank me, Your Lordship!
[16:55] Rozan
    So, what about the other arm and your legs?
[16:59] Xiaoyu
    They're fine.
[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. I broke a
    gift from Your Lordship.
[17:10] Rozan
    Don't sweat it.
[17:11] Rozan
    And the guy behind you says
    he'll help with the arm.
[17:17] Xiaoyu
    Behind me?
[17:20] Xiaoyu
    When did he get here?!
[17:22] Polka
    Xiaoyu-kun, I heard that you
    tried to save Takumi-kun.
[17:27] Xiaoyu
    I only stepped in because
    Miss Sayo might have been at risk.
[17:32] Polka
    Would you let me get a new arm for you?
[17:36] Xiaoyu
    Guarding the Shinoyamas is my job.
[17:40] Xiaoyu
    That means I can't trust you.
[17:45] Polka
    You were under the floor in
    Rozan-san's room, weren't you?
[17:49] Polka
    I could tell right away because your
    soul has such a distinctive hue,
[17:53] Polka
    so I also realized that you know I'm a fake.
[17:57] Xiaoyu
    My soul's hue? What are you talking about?
[18:01] Polka
    I'll explain that and everything else.
[18:04] Polka
    So, to start off,
[18:05] Polka
    I'd like you to challenge
    you to a serious fight.
[18:08] Xiaoyu
    Huh?
[18:16] Xiaoyu
    Perfect. I'll expose him
    in front of His Lordship.
[18:22] Xiaoyu
    Don't expect me to just hang my
    head with His Lordship watching.
[18:26] Polka
    Of course not.
[18:28] Polka
    You rescued Takumi-kun.
    You don't need to bow.
[18:32] Xiaoyu
    Enough talk. Just get ready.
[18:35] Polka
    Oh, you won't be fighting me.
[18:38] Polka
    Although you will face my power,

    Well, I'll be. Your skills are even
    more impressive than I thought.
[19:05] Rozan
    I got a real fright when you
    called me up last night.
[19:10] Rozan
    After all, the Agakuras
    took his arms and legs.
[19:13] Rozan
    I worried he'd lose control
    and put himself in harm's way.
[19:18] Rozan
    It's easy to say, "Don't overdo it.
     Run away if you want."
[19:23] Rozan
    But he's the type
[19:24] Rozan
    who'll push himself even harder if I do.
[19:28] Polka
    I understand.
[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.
[19:58] Polka
    That's enough.
[20:02] Polka
    I get the gist now.
[20:03] Polka
    Thanks, Gufa, Rafa.
[20:08] Xiaoyu
    Huh?!
[20:09] Polka
    Hey!
[20:10] Xiaoyu
    Wha— Hey!
[20:11] Polka
    I'm sorry. I guess they've
    taken a liking to you.
[20:16] Polka
    For starters, you... er,
     you might want to take a shower.
[20:24] Xiaoyu
    If my right arm and legs
    were in better shape—
[20:28] Xiaoyu
    No. I went all-out in that fight.
[20:31] Xiaoyu
    But him?
[20:33] Xiaoyu
    That incomprehensible power was
    probably nowhere near his best.
[20:40] Polka
    Oh, welcome back.
[20:42] Xiaoyu
    Here's how they connect.
[20:45] Xiaoyu
    So, can you do something about my arm?
[20:49] Polka
    Thank you.
[20:54] Xiaoyu
    What's your name?
[20:55] Polka
    Huh?
[20:56] Xiaoyu
    You must have a real name.
[20:59] Xiaoyu
    Your strength is the real deal.
SIGN    Mecha!
SIGN    Mecha!
SIGN    Cyborg!

[21:02] Xiaoyu
    Calling you "fake" like I have
    been wouldn't sit right with me.

[21:06] Polka
    If you don't mind a nickname,
[21:08] Polka
    I'm the Corpse God.
[21:11] Xiaoyu
    That's one hell of a nickname.
[21:14] Polka
    Well, I don't disagree.
[21:17] Xiaoyu
    Anyway, I can't believe that whole
    match was to tune my new arm.
[21:22] Xiaoyu
    I put my life and my pride
    on the line, you know?
[21:26] Xiaoyu
    So, what have you got for me?
[21:30] Polka
    Oh, right.
[21:31] Polka
    It's done.
[21:34] Xiaoyu
    Wh-What the...?
[21:36] Xiaoyu
    Where did this arm come from?!
[21:40] Xiaoyu
    I want answers, Corpse God!
[21:42] Polka
    Urdwigia.
[21:44] Polka
    It's the right arm of the colossal dragon
    whose lightning once lit the world.
[21:49] Xiaoyu
    A dragon?
[21:52] Polka
    Xiaoyu-kun.
[21:54] Polka
    I want to strike a deal
    in exchange for this arm.
[21:57] Polka
    As the fourth-ranked imperial court sorcerer,
[22:01] Polka
    I'm asking you for an alliance.
