**[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*
**[01:47] ---**
Ah!
**[01:53] ---**
How beautiful...
**[02:00] ---**
General!
**[02:02] ---**
What is it?
**[02:03] ---**
I believe we don't have time for that.
**[02:09] ---**
I may never visit this
place again in my life.
**[02:14] ---**
Now's the only time that I can
draw a picture of this scenery.
**[02:19] ---**
I'll finish it quickly, okay?
**[02:24] ---**
Ah! It seems I can get a good view
of the scenery from there, too!
**[02:29] ---**
Tsk!
**[02:30] ---**
Give it up. That's just how Master is.
**[02:34] ---**
I know.
**[02:37] ---**
Ah! Well, well... this place...
**[02:40] ---**
already has a visitor.
**[02:47] ---**
Hm? Oh, hello!
**[02:52] ---**
"Strange Mansion"
**[03:01] ---**
Yeah, these are quite good sketches.
**[03:04] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[03:06] ---**
There are many sketches of buildings.
**[03:08] ---**
I'm studying architecture
at a university in Prague.
**[03:13] ---**
I see, then that's your actual
profession, huh? Uhm...
**[03:17] ---**
My name is Alphonse Clouse.
**[03:20] ---**
I'm Froi Tiedoll.
**[03:23] ---**
Ah.
**[03:24] ---**
And these're my fun travel
companions, Kanda and Marie.
**[03:29] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:34] ---**
I'm sorry. He's shy.
**[03:37] ---**
Please forgive his attitude.
**[03:39] ---**
O... Okay...
**[03:41] ---**
Tsk.
**[03:46] ---**
You said you came from Prague?
**[03:49] ---**
Am I right that you came to these
mountains to see Jan's mansion?
**[03:52] ---**
Yes! You know about it?
**[03:55] ---**
I've heard the rumors at least.
**[03:57] ---**
What's Jan's mansion?
**[04:00] ---**
There used to be a kinda
odd man named Jan Novark
**[04:03] ---**
living in the village ahead of here.
**[04:07] ---**
Jan owned a general shop.
**[04:09] ---**
His shop was crowded with
many customers every day.
**[04:14] ---**
But one day, he closed his shop.
**[04:18] ---**
He started building a house
by investing all his assets,
**[04:23] ---**
and he built it with his own hands...
**[04:25] ---**
All the villagers thought that he'd
get bored of it and quit eventually.
**[04:30] ---**
But he didn't quit.
**[04:33] ---**
He kept on working intently in order
to complete his own dream house.
**[04:38] ---**
After spending 40 years working on
it, he finally completed his house.
**[04:46] ---**
That's Jan's mansion.
**[04:48] ---**
I read this book as a child and was
inspired to become an architect.
**[04:53] ---**
And I've wanted to one day see the
mansion Jan built with my own eyes.
**[04:59] ---**
Stupid.
**[05:00] ---**
Oh? You were listening to his story...
**[05:04] ---**
Something wrong with that?
**[05:06] ---**
I thought you weren't interested.
**[05:08] ---**
I'm not interested.
**[05:09] ---**
Jan's mansion is a piece
of art that caused people
**[05:13] ---**
to take a fresh look at architecture from
the perspective of enjoying a house!
**[05:17] ---**
His ideas, which weren't
limited to current thinking,
**[05:19] ---**
surprised architects at that time!
**[05:21] ---**
His mansion is a great triumph
of architecture that charmed
**[05:23] ---**
even many artists and writers!
**[05:25] ---**
That mansion is indeed a heritage
that mankind should keep forever!
**[05:28] ---**
He's exactly right... although
I guess a cold fish like you
**[05:32] ---**
wouldn't understand.
**[05:35] ---**
Wh-What the heck are they?!
**[05:43] ---**
Out of my way!
**[06:01] ---**
Noel Organon.
**[06:09] ---**
Tsk! We'll follow them, Marie!
**[06:11] ---**
Yeah. General!
**[06:19] ---**
Ahh... He's gone.
**[06:21] ---**
Eh? Eh?!
**[06:34] ---**
No one's around...
**[06:48] ---**
Why...? It seems that people
were here just moments ago.
**[06:53] ---**
This is the doing of Akuma.
**[06:55] ---**
Akuma? Ah! You mean the
monsters from earlier?
**[07:00] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[07:03] ---**
Looks like everyone was killed.
**[07:05] ---**
What?! Oh, no...!
**[07:07] ---**
I found them! They're in the east!
**[07:40] ---**
Stop!
**[07:42] ---**
Ah! H-hey!
**[07:54] ---**
This is...
**[08:00] ---**
Ah! This is indeed Jan's mansion!
**[08:02] ---**
So you finally came, Exorcists.
**[08:06] ---**
Since you made us wait so long, we
ended up killing all the villagers.
**[08:11] ---**
Now, come inside. Let's have fun.
**[08:18] ---**
They think they're inviting us?
**[08:21] ---**
How dare they mock us?!
**[08:22] ---**
Wait! This could be a trap.
**[08:24] ---**
I don't care! I'll destroy the Akuma!
**[08:27] ---**
Oh, boy... I guess we have no choice.
**[08:32] ---**
We'll go in for a while,
**[08:34] ---**
since we can't let those Akuma have
things their way in this house.
**[08:39] ---**
B-But...
**[08:40] ---**
We'll be fine.
**[08:42] ---**
So you go back.
**[08:45] ---**
What?
**[08:46] ---**
You saw it, right? This
isn't a place for you.
**[08:53] ---**
Okay...
**[08:57] ---**
Uhm...
**[08:58] ---**
Hm?
**[08:59] ---**
Please... protect the mansion...
**[09:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:16] ---**
Dead end?
**[09:18] ---**
Hmmm, maybe this is it?
**[09:22] ---**
Ah! Whoa!
**[09:28] ---**
You don't have to be that cautious
since our enemies haven't appeared yet.
**[09:33] ---**
You heard what Clouse said, right?
**[09:36] ---**
This is a building to have fun.
**[09:39] ---**
This is the mansion that Jan poured
the whole of his playfulness into.
**[09:49] ---**
The doors and floors in here aren't simple.
**[10:00] ---**
Whoa! This is convenient!
**[10:02] ---**
Switch-on! Master!
**[10:09] ---**
Well, this is very peculiar.
**[10:11] ---**
It's more fun than I thought.
**[10:19] ---**
General, you shouldn't
touch things so carelessly.
**[10:22] ---**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[10:32] ---**
All right, they're going at it.
**[10:35] ---**
Things are going as we planned.
**[10:37] ---**
But no matter how many Level 1 Akuma we have,
**[10:40] ---**
they can't kill those guys.
**[10:41] ---**
But that's fine, right?
**[10:44] ---**
Yeah, as long as they lure
those guys into this room.
**[10:48] ---**
I see.
**[10:49] ---**
This place is an ideal
battlefield for us, so...
**[11:02] ---**
Are you guys done? Then let's go on.
**[11:08] ---**
Huh?
**[11:08] ---**
I'll do it.
**[11:14] ---**
Your way of thinking is inflexible as always.
**[11:18] ---**
You assume that when it comes to
doors, you either push or pull.
**[11:22] ---**
This one is...
**[11:25] ---**
See? It opened! You should
think more flexibly.
**[11:30] ---**
General!
**[11:31] ---**
Huh?
**[11:33] ---**
Oh...
**[12:11] ---**
Welcome, Exorcists!
**[12:19] ---**
So we finally face each other.
**[12:22] ---**
You seem to be relaxed, General Tiedoll.
**[12:25] ---**
Oh, you know me?
**[12:28] ---**
Of course, as we came to take
the Innocence you're carrying.
**[12:33] ---**
I'm really sorry, but I
can't let that happen.
**[12:37] ---**
I see. Then we'll take them away by force.
**[12:42] ---**
Before that, why don't we set the stage?
**[12:50] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[12:52] ---**
You!
**[12:53] ---**
By set the stage... you mean him?
**[12:56] ---**
No! He just came in on his own.
**[12:59] ---**
Just wait and see.
**[13:00] ---**
The stage for the battle
will be complete soon!
**[13:03] ---**
I'm sorry. I just couldn't help worrying...
**[13:06] ---**
Then, suddenly, a hole appeared
in the hallway floor.
**[13:09] ---**
Well, what can we do? You're here now.
**[13:13] ---**
What's going on?!
**[13:15] ---**
This is it! This is indeed
the stage for a battle!
**[13:19] ---**
And it'll be your graveyard!
**[13:22] ---**
This is the room that changes its shape!
**[13:25] ---**
This is the room that has the
grandest devices in this mansion!
**[13:28] ---**
This is really an interesting mansion.
**[13:31] ---**
You think so, too?
**[13:34] ---**
Sounds like we can get along.
**[13:36] ---**
Please stop it. Getting along with
an Akuma wouldn't make me happy.
**[13:40] ---**
Oh, really? That's unfortunate!
**[13:46] ---**
General, please stay back!
**[13:48] ---**
You don't have to tell me.
I'll leave them to you.
**[13:51] ---**
Innocence, activate!
**[14:04] ---**
What do you think?!
**[14:05] ---**
Don't you think I've got a cool body?
**[14:12] ---**
I see... This is troublesome.
**[14:15] ---**
Kanda! Move!
**[14:19] ---**
That's useless!
**[14:23] ---**
Marie!
**[14:25] ---**
See?! Isn't it fun? There's more fun to come!
**[14:47] ---**
Now, I wonder how long you'll last!
**[14:56] ---**
What's the matter? You've already given up?!
**[14:59] ---**
I found you!
**[15:06] ---**
So the face is your weak point.
**[15:19] ---**
It's hard to fight!
**[15:35] ---**
Stop it... Please stop it!
**[15:38] ---**
Please don't destroy the building!
**[15:41] ---**
This is... Jan's mansion was
the inspiration for my dream!
**[15:45] ---**
If you don't wanna die, stay put right there!
**[15:49] ---**
Netherworld Creature "*Ichigen*"!
**[16:01] ---**
Whoa...
**[16:08] ---**
Now there's no place for you to hide.
**[16:10] ---**
Well, well...
**[16:12] ---**
You put on quite a show, didn't you?
**[16:14] ---**
But it seems that you
destroyed a little too much.
**[16:39] ---**
Amazing...
**[16:41] ---**
The mansion's control center...!
**[16:44] ---**
Go ahead, fall and get
crushed by those gears!
**[16:58] ---**
Geez...
**[17:00] ---**
To think that you destroyed things
in a way that the floor would fall...
**[17:03] ---**
You still have a long way to go.
**[17:07] ---**
Clouse, you risked your life
to come to see Jan's mansion.
**[17:12] ---**
Sear it into your eyes.
**[17:14] ---**
What...? Yes...
**[17:18] ---**
Maker of Eden! Activate!
**[17:22] ---**
What's he gonna do?
**[17:24] ---**
Art!
**[17:38] ---**
Wh-What the...?!
**[17:44] ---**
It's... It's collapsing!
**[18:16] ---**
I told you, didn't I...?
**[18:19] ---**
That you should think flexible.
**[18:22] ---**
If you want them to be unable to
hide, you need to go this far.
**[18:26] ---**
See? They're up there. Up!
**[18:31] ---**
Hurry up and take care of them.
**[18:57] ---**
To think that we lost such
a wonderful building...
**[19:02] ---**
How sad...
**[19:04] ---**
He did it himself... He
doesn't make much sense...
**[19:08] ---**
It's just like Master, though.
**[19:16] ---**
To tell you the truth... my father fell sick.
**[19:20] ---**
Hm?
**[19:21] ---**
So I couldn't continue to
study architecture any longer.
**[19:26] ---**
I decided to give up my affection
towards architecture.
**[19:29] ---**
I thought I'd give up my dream
after seeing Jan's mansion.
**[19:34] ---**
But...!
**[19:37] ---**
Tiedoll-*san*! I've decided!
**[19:40] ---**
I'll continue to study architecture.
**[19:45] ---**
Ideas have started popping into
my mind one after another...
**[19:48] ---**
like, "What kind of house would I build
if I were to build a new house here?"
**[19:53] ---**
Now that Jan's mansion is gone,
I've noticed for the first time...
**[19:57] ---**
that I have to create a
building that surpasses it!
**[20:02] ---**
Ah... I see...
**[20:08] ---**
Hey, I wonder if Master destroyed the
mansion knowing this would happen.
**[20:20] ---**
I don't care.
**[20:32] ---**
I go out for a bit to buy some
snacks, and this happens?
**[20:40] ---**
I wonder if they like sweets.
**[20:52] ---**
What's the matter?
**[20:54] ---**
Nothing.
**[21:17] ---**
*I had a dream, a scary dream*
**[21:22] ---**
*My heart froze as I watched you leaving me*
**[21:28] ---**
*That warmth must still exist,*
**[21:34] ---**
*so I went looking for it one more time*
**[21:45] ---**
*So stay by my side,*
**[21:48] ---**
*and tell me it'll be forever*
**[21:50] ---**
*until the demon's voices are drowned out*
**[21:56] ---**
*I quietly check,*
**[21:59] ---**
*so that I don't lose you*
**[22:02] ---**
*Even if my precious memories become mistakes,*
**[22:07] ---**
*they're beautiful for some reason*
**[22:33] ---**
"Preview"
**[22:35] ---**
*While we're crossing the mountains
in order to join our friends,*
**[22:37] ---**
*whom we got separated from,*
**[22:40] ---**
*we're struck by a heavy snowstorm.*
**[22:43] ---**
*On the next episode of D.Gray-man!*
**[22:46] ---**
*"Illusions in the Snow."*
**[22:49] ---**
*Bring salvation to this poor Akuma's soul!*
**[22:52] ---**
