[00:14] ---
    I could tell by your touch
    that our bond has weakened
[00:19] ---
    My heart is falling apart
[00:24] ---
    My body is wandering, wow...
[00:29] ---
    They're disappearing without
    a trace into the darkness
[00:34] ---
    Those faded feelings, so far away...
[00:38] ---
    What I'm searching for is a mirage
[00:44] ---
    "I see the future in the far distance..."
[00:47] ---
    When I look into the sky above
[00:52] ---
    The distant memories of the
    shining world call forth dreams
[00:57] ---
    The scenery I encounter
    in the endless night
[01:01] ---
    Doesn't even show the ending
    to those bygone days
[01:07] ---
    Even when I'm so far away from you
[01:11] ---
    The shining light will lead me to you
[01:18] ---
    And a miracle will happen
[01:37] ---
    The Heart Innocence?
[01:39] ---
    Yeah... What is this Heart Innocence like?
[01:43] ---
    What characteristics can we use
    to distinguish it from the others?
[01:46] ---
    The cube doesn't say...
[01:50] ---
    It's possible that someone
    might've already collected it
[01:52] ---
    and become an Accommodator...
[01:56] ---
    The Millennium Earl may
    have suspected that the Heart
[02:00] ---
    resides among one of the
    especially powerful Accommodators.
[02:05] ---
    The first victim was one of the Generals.
[02:08] ---
    The Clan of Noah appearing now
    in addition to Akuma
[02:11] ---
    suggests that they're trying
    to strengthen their forces.
[02:14] ---
    You're probably right.
[02:16] ---
    The Earl's message received by Exorcists
    around the world is proof of it.
[02:22] ---
    It's true that if there's an Accommodator
    for such an incredible Innocence piece,
[02:26] ---
    he may be strong like a General...
[02:28] ---
    However, if both the
    Clan of Noah and Akuma attack,
[02:32] ---
    even a General will be at a disadvantage.
[02:34] ---
    The remaining Generals...
[02:36] ---
    Klaud.
[02:37] ---
    Socalo.
[02:39] ---
    Cross.
[02:40] ---
    Tiedoll.
[02:41] ---
    In order to protect these Generals,
[02:44] ---
    we've decided to gather Exorcists
    from around the world
[02:46] ---
    and divide them into four groups.
[02:49] ---
    So Allen-kun and Lenalee...
[02:51] ---
    I want you to head to where
    General Cross is immediately.
[02:55] ---
    What?
[02:57] ---
    "My Mentor, General Cross"
[03:06] ---
    Are you okay?
[03:08] ---
    You looked quite shocked about
    General Yeegar passing away...
[03:13] ---
    Since he was a nice person...
[03:16] ---
    He treated me as if I was
    really his student...
[03:21] ---
    Before meeting him, I never would've
    thought that he'd be so caring...
[03:28] ---
    because...
[03:29] ---
    I was always convinced that Generals
    were selfish, self-centered brutes
[03:34] ---
    who'd do terrible things
    without hesitation.
[03:37] ---
    It sounds like General Cross put you
    through quite a bit of hardship...
[03:43] ---
    Just remembering that time gives me
    the chills and I get dizzy and sick...
[03:47] ---
    A... Are you okay, Allen-kun?
[03:50] ---
    Why do I have to...?
[03:53] ---
    Because you're his apprentice...
[03:55] ---
    What?
[03:56] ---
    Remember what my brother said?
[03:58] ---
    As you know, we haven't heard from
    General Cross for almost four years...
[04:02] ---
    "Grave of General Cross"
    1. He's dead.
[04:03] ---
    2. He might be neglecting his
    assignments and messing around...
[04:06] ---
    We've heard various rumors...
[04:08] ---
    By the way, I think it's ♪2...
[04:11] ---
    And then you showed up... Allen-kun!
[04:13] ---
    Huh?
[04:15] ---
    He's now a rat in a trap!
[04:18] ---
    So that's why...
[04:21] ---
    But how come you suggested
    that we go to Liverpool at once?
[04:27] ---
    I remembered that there's a woman
    there whom Master was close to.
[04:33] ---
    A woman? His girlfriend?
[04:35] ---
    Or rather, his sponsor...
[04:39] ---
    Uhm... have you met Master before?
[04:42] ---
    I did see him at Headquarters
    a long time ago, but...
[04:46] ---
    Then, it's probably a good
    idea to tell you beforehand...
[04:50] ---
    what kind of person he is...
[05:00] ---
    Enjoy.
[05:07] ---
    If I remember correctly, the first
    time you met General Cross was...
[05:11] ---
    Three years ago... right after I destroyed
    my father, whom I turned into an Akuma.
[05:18] ---
    I'm sorry to bring back bad memories...
[05:22] ---
    Not at all. The really tough
    part came after that, so...
[05:26] ---
    The training by General
    Cross was that tough?
[05:29] ---
    That's not the case...
    It was tough because his...
[05:33] ---
    his way of spending
    money was too crazy...
[05:49] ---
    I found you, Cross!
[05:52] ---
    How dare you take money from my woman?
[05:56] ---
    I won't let you get away, baldy!
[06:04] ---
    H-Hey, Master!
[06:06] ---
    Hold it, you bastard!
[06:08] ---
    Pay us back now, or you're a dead man!
[06:11] ---
    Hold it!
[06:14] ---
    You deal with them!
[06:15] ---
    What?!
[06:27] ---
    Here.
[06:28] ---
    Wh... What is this?
[06:31] ---
    It's an insurance contract form.
    Sign it already.
[06:35] ---
    If your Master can't pay,
[06:37] ---
    as his apprentice,
    you need to pay with your life.
[06:39] ---
    I want you to hold a weight and sink
    in the Seine River. Prepare yourself!
[06:45] ---
    H... Help!
[06:46] ---
    H... Hey! Hold it, you brat!
[06:49] ---
    Even after I somehow
    escaped that situation...
[06:53] ---
    Master accumulated debts
    one after another...
[06:59] ---
    Hey, kid! You can have a break now.
[07:04] ---
    Thanks! But I'll do that
    after I work a little more!
[07:08] ---
    Don't overdo it!
[07:10] ---
    And even the money I worked hard for
    in order to pay off his debts was...
[07:20] ---
    This is all you got for working
    all day long...? Bummer...
[07:27] ---
    M... Master...
[07:29] ---
    Earn more next time.
[07:34] ---
    Damn! One day, I'll definitely...
[07:37] ---
    I don't know... how many times
    I wanted to lash out at him...
[07:43] ---
    But in the end, I still kept working
    in order to pay off his debts...
[07:51] ---
    At one point, I worked on a fishing boat
    on the Mediterranean Sea...
[08:00] ---
    At another point,
[08:02] ---
    I worked by hauling goods in a desert
    in Egypt and almost got myself killed...
[08:07] ---
    And when we went to Kenya...
[08:11] ---
    Allen... I wanna see a lion.
[08:15] ---
    Bring one to me.
[08:17] ---
    What?!
[08:26] ---
    I seriously thought that I'd die then...
[08:33] ---
    I thought, "I might really die if I'm forced
    to do reckless stuff like this all the time."
[08:39] ---
    So, in order to live,
    I frantically learned gambling.
[08:47] ---
    Royal straight flush.
[08:52] ---
    At the beginning, I started playing cards
    to rehabilitate my paralyzed left hand...
[08:58] ---
    But you know, when risking your life,
    you can improve your skills quickly.
[09:00] ---
    I soon mastered brilliant cheats
    and became unstoppable.
[09:07] ---
    These days, I don't think
    I could ever lose in a card game...
[09:10] ---
    If you don't believe me...
[09:12] ---
    I-I believe you!
[09:15] ---
    Dark Allen-kun...
[09:19] ---
    But that put me in a dilemma, too...
[09:22] ---
    Once Master realized that I was
    able to earn money in gambling,
[09:25] ---
    --Here! It's all on me!
[09:26] ---
    --he started spending
    money crazier than ever...
[09:29] ---
    I felt like I was going to be a slave
    to Master for the rest of my life,
[09:34] ---
    so I almost became
    pessimistic about life...
[09:36] ---
    That's just natural for someone
    with a life as tough as yours...
[09:39] ---
    If you at least had a
    friend you could talk to...
[09:44] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:45] ---
    Another bitter memory come to mind?
[09:48] ---
    I did have a friend...
[09:51] ---
    Around that time, I finally found someone
    whom I could call my best friend...
[09:58] ---
    His name was... Narain...
[10:08] ---
    A boy my age...
[10:15] ---
    Allen! What happened?
[10:18] ---
    I went to work sweeping chimneys
    and fell from the roof...
[10:22] ---
    It seems that I twisted my ankle...
[10:24] ---
    You dummy... Let me take a look.
[10:28] ---
    Ow! Ouch!
[10:30] ---
    Your bone isn't broken...
[10:32] ---
    Don't be so rough, Narain...
[10:34] ---
    Bear it.
[10:37] ---
    I met him in India.
[10:41] ---
    Right after we moved from Africa to India,
[10:44] ---
    Master wound up living in a palace that
    belonged to a maharaja who ruled that area.
[10:50] ---
    In that palace, there lived
    a widow named Urmina-san,
[10:54] ---
    and she was his... you know...
[11:00] ---
    Lover?!
[11:01] ---
    Huh?!
[11:03] ---
    Y... Your voice is...
[11:09] ---
    I'm sorry... But did he really...
    with a maharaja's widow?
[11:14] ---
    Yes... I don't know why, but Master
    is popular among rich women.
[11:20] ---
    Narain was working in that palace.
[11:26] ---
    He was very smart and wanted to
    become a doctor when he grew up.
[11:33] ---
    So he was always studying during breaks
    by reading difficult medical books.
[11:41] ---
    He had an older sister named Miena
    who was a waiting maid to Urmina-san.
[11:47] ---
    Miena's dream was to become a dancer,
[11:50] ---
    so she worked hard every day,
    dreaming of being on stage in London...
[11:57] ---
    When I was watching those two,
[11:59] ---
    I felt that I shouldn't be so down
    about my situation all the time...
[12:03] ---
    So you were encouraged by them...
[12:04] ---
    Yes, very much...
[12:07] ---
    Those two were really positive and believed
    that they'd be a little happier each day.
[12:14] ---
    But...
[12:16] ---
    a bright future... never came
    to Miena nor Narain after all...
[12:21] ---
    What?!
[12:22] ---
    --What?!
[12:22] ---
    --What?!
[12:28] ---
    It was about six months
    after I arrived in India.
[12:36] ---
    I won huge in a card game by using the
    money I earned from my job as usual.
[12:41] ---
    Dammit! This sucks!
[12:44] ---
    When Master took all
    the money I won, as usual...
[12:50] ---
    How long do I have to keep doing this?!
[12:53] ---
    It was you who asked me if I wanted
    to become an Exorcist, Master!
[12:57] ---
    But I've never done anything
    you could call training...
[13:00] ---
    I see... You wanna train?
[13:04] ---
    What?
[13:06] ---
    While traveling with Master,
    I had encountered Akuma many times.
[13:13] ---
    But I had never fought even once...
[13:16] ---
    This is a good opportunity.
[13:17] ---
    What?
[13:18] ---
    You go fight.
[13:21] ---
    What?!
[13:27] ---
    S-So many...
[13:32] ---
    H... Help!
[13:37] ---
    Hel... Help! Please!
[13:41] ---
    There's no way I can fight!
[13:45] ---
    Of course you can't fight empty-handed.
[13:48] ---
    Luckily for you, your body houses
    an Anti-Akuma weapon.
[13:51] ---
    Why don't you try using it?
[13:54] ---
    An Anti-Akuma weapon?!
[13:57] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[14:02] ---
    It doesn't change! Why?!
[14:10] ---
    Ahh... Th-That's creepy!
[14:14] ---
    I... I'm gonna die! I'm gonna
    really be killed if this keeps up!
[14:44] ---
    You're useless!
[14:46] ---
    As a punishment, earn twice as
    much money from tomorrow on.
[14:55] ---
    After that, I felt down again...
[15:01] ---
    So I went to see Narain
    to get cheered up a little.
[15:18] ---
    Sis... went to town
    to purchase a book for me...
[15:25] ---
    A monster appeared...
[15:28] ---
    While everyone was running,
    a building collapsed...
[15:33] ---
    There's no mention of a method to
    revive her anywhere in this book...
[15:39] ---
    No matter how much I study
    medicine, I can't do anything!
[15:43] ---
    Sis won't come back!
[15:53] ---
    Narain...
[15:56] ---
    This is for Miena...
[16:02] ---
    Thanks... Allen...
[16:05] ---
    What?!
[16:12] ---
    C... Can't be...
[16:19] ---
    That's right. He's an Akuma.
[16:27] ---
    I got worried when I heard that he
    was in deep grief after Miena died...
[16:34] ---
    So the Millennium Earl
    did appear after all...
[16:39] ---
    Millennium Earl!
[16:46] ---
    The Earl takes advantage of
    people's grief and creates Akuma.
[16:54] ---
    Miena... Sis!
[17:02] ---
    New grief produces a new Akuma.
[17:10] ---
    In order to break that chain,
[17:13] ---
    we have no other choice but to destroy
    every single Akuma in this world.
[17:18] ---
    Do it, Allen! Destroy the
    Akuma in front of you!
[17:21] ---
    What?
[17:23] ---
    Impossible... I can't!
[17:26] ---
    Killing Narain... Killing my friend...
[17:31] ---
    I can't!
[17:34] ---
    Narain is already dead.
[17:36] ---
    He's an Akuma who's wearing Narain's skin!
[17:41] ---
    You have to destroy him!
[17:49] ---
    Don't run away...
[17:51] ---
    Fight!
[17:53] ---
    Break the chain of sorrow
    with your own hands! Allen!
[17:57] ---
    Sorrow?
[18:06] ---
    The soul is crying...
[18:08] ---
    That's... Miena!
[18:11] ---
    Even if I was gone, you should've lived
    and worked hard towards your dream.
[18:18] ---
    Why didn't you live for the future?
[18:21] ---
    Narain...
[18:23] ---
    Akuma are all grieving...
[18:26] ---
    They lament their existence
    as a weapon and cry for help...
[18:31] ---
    In order to alleviate their
    sorrow and purify it...
[18:35] ---
    I have no other choice but to
    destroy Akuma and release their souls!
[18:40] ---
    Bring salvation to this poor Akuma's soul!
[18:50] ---
    Rest in peace... Miena...
[18:57] ---
    Thank you... Allen...
[19:05] ---
    Miena... Narain...
[19:12] ---
    How was it?
[19:14] ---
    How does it feel to destroy an Akuma
    of your own free will for the first time?
[19:19] ---
    It's tough... very tough...
[19:22] ---
    because even when I've
    destroyed it, they'll never...
[19:26] ---
    Get used to that tough feeling...
[19:29] ---
    if you want to live as an Exorcist.
[19:34] ---
    Good job today.
[19:36] ---
    Considering this was your
    first time, you did very well.
[19:42] ---
    That was two years ago...
[19:46] ---
    Master continued to throw me into
    the battle every time Akuma appeared.
[19:53] ---
    That behavior kind of matches his
    appearance, or maybe is even worse...
[19:58] ---
    In any case, General Cross
    sounds like something else...
[20:02] ---
    Now you know... how crazy he...
[20:05] ---
    Amazing!
[20:06] ---
    What?!
[20:07] ---
    I didn't really get that stuff about
    Akuma and whatever in your story,
[20:12] ---
    but this is for sure...
[20:13] ---
    your Master is such a great person!
[20:16] ---
    You've come to know a great mentor of life!
[20:19] ---
    I was moved! What a wonderful
    person Cross-sama is...
[20:24] ---
    What?! Uhm... moved?! Which part?!
[20:28] ---
    Everything!
[20:30] ---
    H-Hold on!
[20:32] ---
    He's such a crazy person. What made you...
[20:35] ---
    Now, now... But you know, it could be
    he's strict because he cares about you.
[20:40] ---
    What?! You too, Lenalee?!
[20:42] ---
    Ahh... Why do women get tricked so easily?
[20:47] ---
    Is it really true that women
    like guys who are kinda bad?
[20:50] ---
    But he's not just kinda bad...
    In fact, he's pure evil.
[20:53] ---
    So why does woman after woman...
[20:57] ---
    Ah! I don't get it! I'll never
    understand what women are thinking!
[21:13] ---
    Pouring out from the gaps in the clouds
[21:17] ---
    comes a dazzling light
[21:22] ---
    As if my weakness will be uncovered,
[21:26] ---
    I suddenly raise my hand over my head
[21:32] ---
    I was envious of others,
[21:36] ---
    and always acted as if I had given up
[21:41] ---
    But my feelings run wild
[21:44] ---
    and once again I become lost
[21:49] ---
    Even if you get frustrated,
[21:54] ---
    you just have to move forth
    with your own two feet
[21:59] ---
    After wandering and suffering,
[22:02] ---
    what kind of future will I have?
[22:08] ---
    Destroy it,
[22:10] ---
    the anxiety that holds you back
[22:13] ---
    Smash it,
[22:15] ---
    with the firm grip of your hands
[22:18] ---
    Carve the pain, in your heart,
    yes, that's right, take the plunge
[22:23] ---
    Into the rest of the endless dream...
[22:33] ---
    "Preview"
[22:35] ---
    Krory has become an Exorcist.
[22:38] ---
    In the village he's ordered to go to,
[22:41] ---
    he encounters an astounding Akuma...
[22:44] ---
    On the next episode of D.Gray-man!
[22:47] ---
    "Exorcist Krory."
[22:49] ---
    Bring salvation to this poor Akuma's soul!
