**[00:12] ---**
*Flooding into the wound in
my heart comes pain in the dark*
**[00:23] ---**
*That feeling of being connected
as we came together melts away*
**[00:33] ---**
*In the delirium of my unrelenting fever,
I can't even hear the final voice*
**[00:44] ---**
*Don't cry! When I held you tight,
you were trembling*
**[00:55] ---**
*Gently, hold my raised hand*
**[01:03] ---**
*Surely, I've been searching for
the everlasting miracle that is you*
**[01:14] ---**
*Firmly, lay your hand upon me*
**[01:24] ---**
*Ever and never end*
**[01:28] ---**
*You set me free so far away*
**[01:43] ---**
*This story takes place 1,000 years ago.*
**[01:47] ---**
*The lord who ruled this land at that time
had a beautiful daughter named Sandra.*
**[01:54] ---**
*At the age of 16, her sublime beauty
was often talked about by many people,*
**[02:00] ---**
*and men who wished to marry
her came in great swarms from*
**[02:04] ---**
*distant lands such as
Greece and the Orient,*
**[02:08] ---**
*crossing oceans and mountains.*
**[02:11] ---**
*However, no matter how good the marriage
offer was, the princess never said yes.*
**[02:18] ---**
*The men still made approaches
to her so she said to them...*
**[02:22] ---**
*I will be the wife of the
strongest man in this world.*
**[02:27] ---**
*Then, to test their strength, she told
them to fight against the sword fighter,*
**[02:32] ---**
*Vittorio, who worked for her family.*
**[02:40] ---**
*Vittorio fought... He fought over and over*
**[02:43] ---**
*against men from all over the world who had
confidence in their martial arts skills,*
**[02:47] ---**
*yet he never lost even once.*
**[02:50] ---**
*The fighting went on even after the
princess passed away from sickness,*
**[02:54] ---**
*and it is said that it still goes
on even now, 1,000 years later...*
**[03:17] ---**
As Princess Sandra orders,
I will fight you.
**[03:25] ---**
Come!
**[03:31] ---**
Millennium Swordsman
**[03:37] ---**
Kanda went missing?!
**[03:40] ---**
If I remember correctly,
he was heading to Rome...
**[03:43] ---**
That's right. He went to collect the
Innocence found in ruins outside Rome,
**[03:49] ---**
but we haven't been able
to get in touch with him,
**[03:51] ---**
or the Finder who went
with, him for a week.
**[03:55] ---**
Since there're many Akuma around the
fighting arena where they disappeared,
**[03:59] ---**
only Exorcists can enter that area.
**[04:03] ---**
So I've decided to have
you go there, Allen-*kun*.
**[04:13] ---**
Okay, we can leave...
**[04:16] ---**
What're you doing here?
**[04:18] ---**
Can you move over?
**[04:20] ---**
What? Are you coming, too?
**[04:26] ---**
Well then, we can leave now.
**[04:34] ---**
*She seems kinda angry...*
**[04:41] ---**
*I wonder if Komui-san
forced her to go with me...*
**[04:44] ---**
*But knowing how he is,*
**[04:46] ---**
*it's hard to think that
he'd force her to go...*
**[04:51] ---**
Why else?! It's because you're my friend!
**[05:05] ---**
Uhm... Come to think of it, we haven't
had a chance to talk since then, so...
**[05:13] ---**
About that time... I'm sorry!
**[05:24] ---**
Don't raise your face up yet.
I still won't forgive you.
**[05:27] ---**
Ah... yes...
**[05:29] ---**
You're selfish. You're the only
one who can see Akuma's souls,
**[05:34] ---**
so you carry everything on your shoulders
and fight by sacrificing yourself...
**[05:40] ---**
Does being friends mean anything to you?!
**[05:43] ---**
Don't insult me! Why can't
we fight together?!
**[05:48] ---**
I hate... your left eye... I hate it...
**[05:55] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[06:01] ---**
Lenalee...
**[06:04] ---**
Thanks for saving me...
**[06:06] ---**
I'll save you many more times!
**[06:13] ---**
I wonder if this means she forgave me...
**[06:16] ---**
What're you doing?! Hurry up and get on!
**[06:19] ---**
If we miss this one, the next train
going to Rome won't be until tomorrow!
**[06:22] ---**
Ah, okay!
**[06:31] ---**
A Roman sword fighter who's
continued to live for 1,000 years?
**[06:35] ---**
See? Doesn't it sound similar to
Lala who kept singing for 500 years?
**[06:40] ---**
Then this sword fighter, too, is...
**[06:42] ---**
We can't say that with certainty yet,
**[06:45] ---**
since we don't know if Innocence can
let a human live for 1,000 years, either...
**[06:51] ---**
There's also a possibility that
he is an Accommodator, right?
**[06:54] ---**
We don't know about it right now, either.
**[06:57] ---**
If he really exists, we can call that
in itself a mysterious phenomenon...
**[07:05] ---**
This info doc says that
Akuma started appearing
**[07:10] ---**
around the fighting arena
ruins about a month ago.
**[07:14] ---**
But no Akuma who went
inside the arena came back out.
**[07:19] ---**
That might be because they were defeated
by the sword fighter with Innocence...
**[07:24] ---**
Probably, because my brother
considered that possibility too,
**[07:27] ---**
in order to confirm that...
**[07:29] ---**
he sent Kanda in...
**[07:37] ---**
Lie low.
**[07:39] ---**
Please be careful.
**[07:50] ---**
Let's go, *Mugen*!
**[07:51] ---**
Innocence... activate!
**[08:18] ---**
Move! You're in my way!
**[08:21] ---**
Don't just stand around
staring into space, kid!
**[08:29] ---**
Excuse me...
**[08:31] ---**
If you're worried about the payment,
I'll pay you plenty on my way back.
**[08:34] ---**
Who are they? Soldiers from somewhere?
**[08:37] ---**
I wonder if they're starting
a war or something...
**[08:40] ---**
What'd you say?! Come over here!
Fine by me!
**[08:44] ---**
Say that again!
**[08:45] ---**
Please stop! If you get
hurt over a trivial thing...
**[08:50] ---**
If they wanna fight, it'd be nice if they
both kill each other at the same time.
**[08:56] ---**
We're bounty hunters.
**[08:58] ---**
We've been gathered to return the
Sardini family's kidnapped daughter.
**[09:03] ---**
Bounty hunters?
**[09:04] ---**
Return their daughter?
**[09:07] ---**
Haven't you heard?
Their 16-year-old daughter Claudia
**[09:12] ---**
was abducted from the
Sardini residence three days ago.
**[09:15] ---**
The man who abducted her
identified himself as Vittorio.
**[09:19] ---**
Vittorio?!
**[09:20] ---**
That sword fighter who's
been living for 1,000 years?!
**[09:27] ---**
Viscount Paletti will give
instructions at the Sardini residence!
**[09:32] ---**
Those who want to collect the
reward money should come immediately!
**[09:38] ---**
I wonder... who Paletti is...
**[09:40] ---**
I don't know...
**[10:06] ---**
Oh, really?
**[10:08] ---**
Geez... We didn't come here for a picnic.
**[10:12] ---**
You know, they say something
or other on an empty stomach.
**[10:14] ---**
Here, why don't you have some, young lady?
**[10:17] ---**
Ah... No, thank you.
**[10:22] ---**
Brave ones, I want you to stop
eating for a moment and listen to me.
**[10:28] ---**
As you probably know, Miss Claudia,
the daughter of the Sardini family,
**[10:33] ---**
was abducted by a thug named Vittorio.
**[10:37] ---**
Mr. Sardini here is quite troubled.
**[10:41] ---**
As an heir of the honored Paletti Family,
I will promise, on our family's name,
**[10:48] ---**
that the person who gets back
my dear fiancée Claudia Sardini
**[10:52] ---**
from that detestable thug will be given one tenth...
**[10:53] ---**
His fiancée?
**[10:54] ---**
Getting engaged to such
**[10:55] ---**
an older man at the age of 16...
**[10:58] ---**
of the Sardini family's assets!
**[11:00] ---**
What're you doing, son-in-law,
**[11:03] ---**
suddenly saying such a thing
without asking me beforehand?
**[11:06] ---**
This is unexpected,
**[11:07] ---**
to see you have a problem with offering
just one tenth of your assets when you,
**[11:10] ---**
as a father, should naturally
instruct people to rescue your daughter
**[11:13] ---**
even at the cost of all your assets.
**[11:16] ---**
Since it's the Sardini family's assets,
even one tenth is an incredible amount!
**[11:20] ---**
We'll definitely find her!
**[11:22] ---**
We'll be super rich!
**[11:32] ---**
Claudia! I never knew that you
were such an unfilial daughter!
**[11:38] ---**
To hell with Vittorio! How absurd!
**[11:43] ---**
Hmm...? Hmm?! Shoo! Shoo!
**[11:45] ---**
Please don't worry. It won't do any harm.
**[11:51] ---**
Excuse us for coming in
from a place like this...
**[11:53] ---**
We're not anyone suspicious.
We're from the Black Order.
**[11:58] ---**
What?! The Black Order? I've heard of it...
**[12:08] ---**
It was a month ago that my daughter
**[12:10] ---**
started saying that a sword fighter
from the medieval period had appeared...
**[12:15] ---**
I first ignored what she said, thinking
that she must've had a dream about it.
**[12:19] ---**
However, she kept saying that he
appeared at night to report to her...
**[12:25] ---**
Report?
**[12:27] ---**
The world's strongest man
still hasn't appeared yet.
**[12:31] ---**
I yelled at her, telling her to
stop spouting such nonsense...
**[12:36] ---**
but she insisted that she
was telling the truth.
**[12:39] ---**
And three days ago, of all days...
**[12:41] ---**
the day her engagement with
Viscount Paletti was finalized...
**[12:46] ---**
Seriously, what is she thinking?!
**[12:49] ---**
Exactly...
**[12:50] ---**
What is Miss Claudia really thinking?
**[12:54] ---**
Son-in-law!
**[12:59] ---**
Humph! Once she gets
married to me, the Sardini family,
**[13:03] ---**
an upstart from a mere merchant,
will become related to nobles
**[13:07] ---**
and will finally be able to realize their
dream and join upper-class society.
**[13:11] ---**
When she had the greatest
opportunity to show filial piety, she...
**[13:14] ---**
Son-in-law... I still can't agree!
**[13:18] ---**
Claudia ran away from home!
**[13:21] ---**
Or she was tricked by an idiot
who used the name of Vittorio!
**[13:25] ---**
We didn't have to take the
trouble to gather bounty hunters
**[13:27] ---**
by offering reward money.
We could've asked the police to...
**[13:30] ---**
Don't worry. I don't intend
to waste the money, either.
**[13:35] ---**
There're many incidents where
a lucky person who won the lottery
**[13:38] ---**
gets attacked by someone
envious of them, right?
**[13:45] ---**
You're one of the upstarts.
**[13:47] ---**
Haven't you experienced
what I'm talking about?
**[13:54] ---**
Who're those people glaring at us angrily?
**[13:58] ---**
Ah... They said they're
from the Black Order.
**[14:01] ---**
Did you ask them to come?
**[14:03] ---**
Ah... no...
**[14:05] ---**
I see... If people from the
famous Black Order can help us,
**[14:11] ---**
we don't need bounty hunters.
**[14:13] ---**
We definitely want...
**[14:14] ---**
We refuse.
**[14:16] ---**
If you want Claudia-*san* to come back,
why don't you look for her on your own?
**[14:20] ---**
Money, status, assets!
**[14:23] ---**
Which do you two treasure more,
those things or her?!
**[14:27] ---**
Having a parent like you... and a fiancé
like you is what caused her to run away!
**[14:33] ---**
Allen-*kun*, let's go.
**[14:44] ---**
What?
**[14:46] ---**
Nothing...
**[14:47] ---**
After all, we couldn't
find any clues on Kanda...
**[14:52] ---**
On Vittorio, either...
**[14:54] ---**
Yeah...
**[15:00] ---**
Anyway, let's start again tomorrow morning.
**[15:04] ---**
Good night.
**[15:06] ---**
Hey, do you think Claudia-*san
*really ran away from home?
**[15:10] ---**
What?
**[15:11] ---**
It was a month ago that she started
saying that Vittorio appeared, right?
**[15:19] ---**
Why do you think she
started talking about Vittorio?
**[15:23] ---**
Because she wanted to run
away from her awful father, right?
**[15:26] ---**
That might be the case,
but what if he actually did appear?
**[15:31] ---**
What for?
**[15:32] ---**
Maybe the ghost fell in love
with a human, or something...
**[15:36] ---**
He had never seen her before.
**[15:38] ---**
It was just a hypothetical...
**[15:42] ---**
Good night.
**[16:08] ---**
I'll be the first!
**[16:09] ---**
Where is he?!
**[16:09] ---**
I'll find her! I'll definitely find her!
**[16:14] ---**
This is bad! Let's hurry!
**[16:18] ---**
Where are you, Vittorio! Come out!
**[16:20] ---**
Vittorio! Come out!
**[16:21] ---**
I'll take you down!
**[16:21] ---**
Give the lady back!
**[16:35] ---**
Where's the enemy?!
**[16:36] ---**
I'll kill them!
**[16:46] ---**
Everyone! This way! Hurry!
**[16:48] ---**
I don't need the money any more!
**[17:06] ---**
Wait! Who cares about that guy?!
Protect me!
**[17:11] ---**
*They all care only about themselves!*
**[17:16] ---**
Even so, I'll protect them...
**[17:19] ---**
as an Exorcist!
**[17:24] ---**
These're instructions
from Viscount Paletti!
**[17:27] ---**
The one who defeats Vittorio,
who's hiding inside,
**[17:30] ---**
and rescues Claudia will be given
one fifth of the Sardini family's assets.
**[17:35] ---**
One fifth?
**[17:36] ---**
It's not one tenth?
**[17:38] ---**
It's twice the promised amount.
**[17:39] ---**
I won't do it. There're monsters in there!
**[17:43] ---**
Well, it'll be okay. We can just leave
them to those brats and kill Vittorio.
**[17:47] ---**
*This is a rare opportunity that*...
**[17:47] ---**
He's probably a petty thief after all.
**[17:49] ---**
*Finally presented itself to a poor noble.*...
**[17:49] ---**
He won't be a big deal.
**[17:52] ---**
*I'll get Claudia back without fail.*...
**[17:52] ---**
I'm going back there.
**[17:54] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:59] ---**
Okay! Turn it!
**[18:02] ---**
Fire!
**[18:19] ---**
That's...
**[18:21] ---**
My name is Vittorio. I'm a sword
fighter serving the house of Tivoli.
**[18:26] ---**
This is the guy! There's no mistake!
**[18:28] ---**
As Princess Sandra orders,
I will fight you.
**[18:32] ---**
Fire!
**[18:52] ---**
You're not strong enough.
**[18:53] ---**
What? Kanda!
**[18:55] ---**
He's my prey. Don't intervene.
**[19:02] ---**
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
**[19:04] ---**
I'll fight you.
**[19:06] ---**
Lenalee-*san*!
**[19:08] ---**
Pedro-*san*! So you're okay!
**[19:10] ---**
Yes, somehow...
**[19:12] ---**
Are you all right?
**[19:13] ---**
More importantly, that's Innocence!
**[19:17] ---**
That sword is indeed the source
of the mysterious phenomenon
**[19:21] ---**
that has kept Vittorio
alive for 1,000 years.
**[19:25] ---**
Those two continued
fighting for three days.
**[19:29] ---**
However, soon Akuma started
appearing and the situation became chaotic.
**[19:33] ---**
Vittorio disappeared before we knew,
**[19:36] ---**
and Kanda-*san* slept the past two days
due to the exhaustion from the fight.
**[19:42] ---**
Neither of them are using
the power of Innocence...
**[19:45] ---**
It's probably due to their
pride as swordsmen.
**[19:48] ---**
They stopped using it on
the second day of the fight.
**[19:52] ---**
I can't fight without
my Anti-Akuma Weapon...
**[19:56] ---**
That's why Kanda doesn't
want me to intervene...
**[20:39] ---**
His injuries are disappearing...
**[20:42] ---**
The Innocence's power?
**[20:56] ---**
No!
**[20:58] ---**
Kanda!
**[21:06] ---**
*I'll get it back with my own hands*
**[21:10] ---**
*I can see the light of tomorrow*
**[21:25] ---**
*It seems like you're tired
of playing by yourself*
**[21:33] ---**
*Is the voice in your heart reaching you?*
**[21:41] ---**
*What you hear is the answer*
**[21:49] ---**
*This irrational feeling is
one definite form of pride*
**[21:57] ---**
*As if in a movie I saw long ago,
I can see my future self*
**[22:08] ---**
*I race forth because I want
to become ever stronger*
**[22:15] ---**
*The pride cast aside to
bury that which was lost*
**[22:23] ---**
*I'll get it back with my own hands*
**[22:27] ---**
*I can see the pride of tomorrow*
**[22:36] ---**
Preview
**[22:37] ---**
*In order to finish off the wounded Kanda,
Vittorio swings up his large sword.*
**[22:42] ---**
*One of the reasons why he
kept fighting was a woman...*
**[22:48] ---**
*On the next episode of D.Gray-man!*
**[22:50] ---**
*"Pride of the Swordsman."*
**[22:52] ---**
*Bring salvation to this poor Akuma's soul!*
**[22:54] ---**
