[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
[01:36] ---
    There're many cases where
    Innocence has changed its state
[01:40] ---
    between the time of Noah's
    flood and the present.
[01:48] ---
    It may be because the crystal's
    mysterious power calls out to us, but...
[01:52] ---
    Innocence gets found by humans
    and ends up in various forms.
[01:58] ---
    And, although the reason is unknown,
[02:00] ---
    it always causes mysterious phenomena.
[02:04] ---
    Walker-dono, do you know the
    story about the ghost of Mater?
[02:09] ---
    No.
[02:10] ---
    It's like this.
[02:11] ---
    A ghost lives in the city of Mater,
    which went to ruin a long, long time ago.
[02:16] ---
    The ghost is a former resident of Mater.
[02:20] ---
    In order to relieve its loneliness,
[02:22] ---
    it drags in people who come near the city.
[02:33] ---
    Innocence... activated!
[02:38] ---
    Mugen... Bring forth calamity!
[02:44] ---
    Netherworld Creature... "Ichigen!"
[02:58] ---
    You came to rescue us?
[03:01] ---
    So this is... the ghost of Mater...
[03:16] ---
    No! This isn't an Akuma! A fake?
[03:20] ---
    I'm here... Right here...
[03:34] ---
    There're...
[03:36] ---
    Old Man of the Soil
    and a Lonely Night's Aria
[03:39] ---
    two of me!
[03:47] ---
    Why is there another me?
[03:49] ---
    I copied you... and your power!
[03:57] ---
    This is my ability.
[04:00] ---
    When an Akuma evolves to Level 2,
    it awakens a new ability.
[04:05] ---
    And my ability is to copy
    whatever I touch and make it mine.
[04:12] ---
    That's my ability!
[04:31] ---
    He's strong! So this is
    the power of an evolved Akuma?!
[04:38] ---
    Walker-dono is only defending...
[04:41] ---
    What power...
[04:44] ---
    Die!
[05:04] ---
    This feels good!
[05:07] ---
    I got something cool!
[05:15] ---
    You... I'll kill you!
[05:19] ---
    Akuma are made from dark matter,
    which is the opposite of Innocence.
[05:27] ---
    The more they evolve,
[05:30] ---
    the more the material grows
    and gets strengthened.
[05:33] ---
    When an Akuma evolves to the next level,
[05:35] ---
    it has its own ego and can talk.
[05:38] ---
    And it awakens new ability
[05:41] ---
    and becomes remarkably stronger
    than it was at the beginning.
[05:45] ---
    It's not someone the guy who
    was fighting earlier can defeat.
[05:49] ---
    What's gonna happen?
[05:50] ---
    It means that sooner or later,
    that Akuma will come here...
[05:55] ---
    where we are...
[05:58] ---
    In other words, what you want to say is...
[06:01] ---
    that you want to obtain the Innocence
    before the Akuma comes here?
[06:06] ---
    Right. If possible, right now.
[06:12] ---
    I see...
[06:17] ---
    You...
[06:18] ---
    I'm the ghost of Mater.
[06:21] ---
    You're not a real ghost.
[06:23] ---
    Right. I'm a doll.
[06:26] ---
    Guzol!
[06:29] ---
    A doll?
[06:30] ---
    That's right. The rocks
    and the dry weather...
[06:34] ---
    The severe blazing sunlight...
[06:37] ---
    People used to call Mater
    the land forsaken by God...
[06:44] ---
    The Mater citizens, who lived
    in despair and suffering,
[06:48] ---
    created a doll to forget
    those things for a brief time...
[06:52] ---
    a doll that would sing and dance...
[06:57] ---
    Soon the city went to ruin
    and people disappeared,
[07:00] ---
    but the doll stayed alive.
[07:05] ---
    That doll is me... the ghost of Mater.
[07:09] ---
    It was 500 years ago
    that this city went to ruin.
[07:13] ---
    Have you been alive all
    this time since then?
[07:16] ---
    Yeah... with the Innocence as my heart...
[07:19] ---
    The power of Innocence...
[07:20] ---
    That's possible...
[07:22] ---
    It's not realistic to carry a big
    doll and escape from here.
[07:26] ---
    I'm sorry to drag you into this,
    but I'd like to take your heart.
[07:29] ---
    Wait!
[07:31] ---
    If we can't escape, we can hide!
[07:34] ---
    Who are you?
[07:35] ---
    I... I'm Guzol's...
[07:38] ---
    She's a child abandoned by humans.
[07:42] ---
    I found her and took her in.
[07:45] ---
    Guzol! Are you okay?!
[07:48] ---
    You said we can hide.
    Where are we going to hide?
[07:52] ---
    Toma? What happened over there?
[07:55] ---
    I was watching from a distance.
[07:58] ---
    There was a violent impact earlier
    and Walker-dono's condition is unknown.
[08:02] ---
    Ah! The Akuma came out of
    the building alone just now.
[08:06] ---
    He's chasing the Golem.
[08:08] ---
    Got it. I'll send my Golem
    over there as a guide,
[08:13] ---
    so come here with Tim.
    It's risky to stay there too long.
[08:16] ---
    I need to see the video Tim recorded now.
[08:19] ---
    Yes, sir. Understood.
[08:31] ---
    I'm killing you, too!
[08:34] ---
    Now, who's next?
    Where's the ghost of Mater?
[08:51] ---
    Go to Toma!
[08:53] ---
    We're really running out of time...
    I'm sorry, but...
[09:02] ---
    They ran.
[09:24] ---
    Huh?
[09:29] ---
    Where's the Akuma?!
    How long was I unconscious?
[09:34] ---
    Where did he go?
[09:37] ---
    He's too strong... Can I really defeat him?
[09:41] ---
    I have to find Kanda and
    the others for now.
[09:48] ---
    Who's there?
[09:51] ---
    I've just returned.
[09:53] ---
    Oh, it's you, Toma.
    Where is the ghost of Mater?
[09:56] ---
    He escaped.
[10:01] ---
    This is Timcanpy.
[10:05] ---
    Show me what you saw
    about the Akuma, Tim.
[10:18] ---
    It's like a mirror...
    Yes?
[10:20] ---
    This Akuma is a mirror image...
[10:26] ---
    A mirror image...
[10:38] ---
    Huh?
[10:40] ---
    Could it be that I'm lost?
[10:45] ---
    It's pitch-dark.
[10:47] ---
    No one knows this path.
[10:49] ---
    Neither Akuma nor Exorcists will come.
[10:52] ---
    I can't see anything. Are we okay, Lala?
[10:55] ---
    We're fine. This way.
[10:58] ---
    I've lived underground all this time...
[11:03] ---
    ever since I was born...
[11:11] ---
    Here we are, Guzol.
[11:16] ---
    Look. When he transformed into the newbie,
[11:20] ---
    the right and left sides of his
    clothes and weapon were reversed.
[11:23] ---
    If you look at it carefully,
[11:25] ---
    the one cut down by
    the newbie is also reversed.
[11:27] ---
    On top of that, the body is just
    a shell. There's nothing inside.
[11:32] ---
    It's not a simple "transform" ability.
[11:35] ---
    Maybe I should say that it's
    copying the target using something...
[11:38] ---
    Moreover, it seems that it can obtain
    the power, too, once it's copied it.
[11:44] ---
    I can tell that since it changed the shape
[11:46] ---
    of the newbie's left arm for attacking.
[11:48] ---
    That idiot... he let the Akuma
    steal something nasty!
[11:51] ---
    I should've looked for Walker-dono.
[11:54] ---
    If the Akuma transforms into Walker-dono...
[11:58] ---
    We don't have to worry about it,
    since we'll know immediately
[12:00] ---
    due to the left and right
    sides being reversed.
[12:03] ---
    It'd be quite stupid for
    it to appear as is.
[12:10] ---
    Kanda-dono!
[12:26] ---
    K... Kanda...
[12:29] ---
    Th-The right and left sides are reversed...
[12:37] ---
    It appears that you're quite stupid.
[12:40] ---
    Ka... nda... dono...
[12:45] ---
    Bring forth calamity!
[12:48] ---
    Netherworld Creature "Ichigen!"
[12:51] ---
    Return to nothingness!
[13:04] ---
    W-Walker... dono...
[13:08] ---
    You're...
[13:10] ---
    Newbie!
[13:13] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
    Why'd you defend the Akuma?!
[13:19] ---
    Kanda, you know my left eye
    can perceive Akuma, don't you?
[13:24] ---
    He's not an Akuma.
[13:27] ---
    What?!
[13:30] ---
    Walker... dono...
[13:32] ---
    There's a gap on his face. Is this skin?
[13:40] ---
    Toma!
[13:42] ---
    What?!
[13:43] ---
    The Toma by your side is the Akuma, Kanda!
[13:55] ---
    K... Kanda!
[14:00] ---
    You son of a bitch... When did you...?
[14:04] ---
    Since I joined you...
[14:07] ---
    After I crushed the yellow Golem,
    I found this Toma guy, too.
[14:13] ---
    I thought you wouldn't be able
    to tell if it was him who I copied.
[14:17] ---
    You were talking about
    the reversed sides too, right?
[14:21] ---
    That's why I put the gray-haired
    guy's figure on this Toma guy.
[14:27] ---
    I'm smart.
[14:29] ---
    My skin is a duplicate paper.
    You were completely taken in, Exorcist!
[14:48] ---
    He's dead! The Exorcist is dead!
[14:51] ---
    In your dreams! I can't die...
[14:57] ---
    until I find that person... I...
[15:01] ---
    Die!
[15:07] ---
    Amazing! He's standing even when he's dead!
[15:22] ---
    Ha! No matter how many
    times you try, it's useless.
[15:40] ---
    Kanda!
[15:44] ---
    He's still alive!
[15:48] ---
    Damn it! That son of a bitch!
[15:51] ---
    He wasn't that strong earlier!
[15:54] ---
    What's going on?!
[15:57] ---
    Huh?
[15:58] ---
    Damn! Where the hell did they go?!
[16:07] ---
    Walker-dono... Please leave me here.
[16:12] ---
    You must be injured, too.
    Please leave me here...
[16:18] ---
    This is nothing.
[16:21] ---
    We can't escape like this.
    If I can find a place to hide...

[16:28] ---
    Where are you?!
[16:31] ---
    Where'd you go, Exorcist?!
[16:45] ---
    I wonder if the fight is still going...
[16:49] ---
    Are you all right, Guzol?
[16:51] ---
    Yes...
[16:53] ---
    Say, Guzol... why did you
    say you were a doll?
[16:58] ---
    I didn't want anyone to destroy you, Lala.
[17:06] ---
    Guzol...
[17:10] ---
    I'm sorry, but I'd like
    to lie down a little...
[17:13] ---
    Okay.
[17:26] ---
    I see you don't have much time left.
    Is there anything I can do for you?
[17:31] ---
    Lala... I wanna sleep...
[17:34] ---
    Okay. I'll sing a lullaby for you.
[17:56] ---
    The ghost of Mater was a doll.
    They ran off.
[18:01] ---
    There's gotta be a hiding place.
    Go after them.
[18:06] ---
    Before going after the doll, I'd like to...
[18:10] ---
    I can hear a song...
[18:16] ---
    Why from below?
[18:22] ---
    Wind?
[18:24] ---
    Wind from underground...
[18:36] ---
    The wind is blowing from here...
[18:42] ---
    This is it. This is a good hiding place.
[18:45] ---
    Where'd you go?!
[18:49] ---
    Exorcist!
[18:54] ---
    Damn it!
[19:06] ---
    This path keeps going down...
[19:08] ---
    Ow!
[19:10] ---
    How far down does it go?
[19:28] ---
    It's that song!
[19:56] ---
    The rocks and the dry weather...
    The severe blazing sunlight...

[20:01] ---
    People used to call Mater
    the land forsaken by God...

[20:08] ---
    The Mater citizens, who lived
    in despair and suffering,

[20:12] ---
    created a doll to forget
    those things for a brief time...

[20:17] ---
    a doll that would sing and dance...
[20:21] ---
    Soon the city went to ruin and people
    disappeared, but the doll stayed alive.

[20:29] ---
    That's the ghost of Mater.
[20:48] ---
    You came...
[20:50] ---
    So you're the doll... the ghost of Mater...
[21:07] ---
    When I close my eyes, the night grows
[21:30] ---
    Biting down on our frozen lips,
    we draw our bodies close to each other

[21:42] ---
    I took the day I saw you last
    and buried it deep in my memories

[21:54] ---
    We walked on the frozen lake
    in that wonderful view

[22:07] ---
    Snow kiss
[22:10] ---
    Don't say that this is goodbye for us
[22:19] ---
    I wanna see you
[22:22] ---
    That feeling and the deep scars that I have
[22:28] ---
    Don't erase them... Don't erase them...
[22:36] ---
    Preview
[22:37] ---
    The doll that lived to sing a song...
[22:41] ---
    Lala's singing voice is gentle
    and fills the land of Mater.

[22:45] ---
    I want to protect this singing voice!
[22:48] ---
    On the next episode of D.Gray-man!
[22:50] ---
    "Let Me Hear the Lullaby."
[22:52] ---
    Bring salvation to this poor Akuma's soul!
[22:55] ---
