**[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!*
