**[01:59] ---**
I don't like bright places.
**[02:08] ---**
Katana, you bastard, who hired you?
**[02:12] ---**
Who hired you to do this?
**[02:15] ---**
I did.
**[02:16] ---**
I hate the very sight of you.
**[02:18] ---**
What was that?
**[02:20] ---**
I'll kill you!
**[02:23] ---**
Don't think that you can
defy the Binse family and live!
**[02:27] ---**
You'll pay for this!
**[02:29] ---**
Katana!
**[02:31] ---**
Dwellers of the Dark
**[02:40] ---**
S-S-Spare me!
**[02:41] ---**
Please spare me!
**[02:42] ---**
I'd like to,
but unfortunately, it's my job.
**[02:46] ---**
Please be my friend.
**[03:01] ---**
Well, I guess Night Town is next.
**[03:18] ---**
You don't want to?
**[03:19] ---**
What's to dislike about gathering
and disposing of *hotokibutsu*...
**[03:24] ---**
from Day Town's
underground waterworks?
**[03:26] ---**
After all, that's just
sewer cleanup, isn't it?
**[03:29] ---**
That's right.
**[03:30] ---**
If you use Lightning,
it'll be over in a snap.
**[03:33] ---**
Make Lightning pick up garbage?
**[03:36] ---**
If not, then you do it.
**[03:37] ---**
Give me a break!
**[03:39] ---**
When did you get big
enough to choose your jobs?
**[03:42] ---**
If you want money, don't complain.
**[03:44] ---**
That's not the issue!
**[03:46] ---**
I'm not like that at all.
**[03:48] ---**
I'm not what you think. I'm more...
**[03:51] ---**
More what?
**[03:55] ---**
You're more suited for
more important jobs?
**[03:59] ---**
Don't get a big head, brat.
**[04:01] ---**
The Techode is amazing, but not you.
**[04:05] ---**
Without Lightning there...
**[04:06] ---**
you're an insect I can
blow away with a breath!
**[04:11] ---**
He said it.
**[04:17] ---**
I-It's an emergency!
**[04:18] ---**
Someone's... Someone's...
**[04:24] ---**
What's with you, kid, all of a sudden!
**[04:26] ---**
Nice timing.
**[04:33] ---**
H-He's fused to a machine,
and he's still alive...
**[04:37] ---**
How do you get a man to look like this?
**[04:40] ---**
S-Spare me...
**[04:41] ---**
It's unforgivable...
**[04:43] ---**
I swear we'll capture the culprit.
**[04:46] ---**
Hey, hey... We?
**[04:48] ---**
Don't get too involved.
**[04:50] ---**
Keep your hobbies under control...
**[04:52] ---**
I won't let you call it a
hobby or playing hero.
**[04:55] ---**
This is something we all
must do as our duty.
**[05:00] ---**
Because we have Techodes...
**[05:02] ---**
we are special beings
who can fulfill dreams.
**[05:05] ---**
Special beings?
**[05:08] ---**
I'll stay normal, thanks.
**[05:10] ---**
I'll take what I'm given,
and clean sewers or whatever...
**[05:13] ---**
As long as I have work, I'm happy.
**[05:18] ---**
Hajiki, so you're not quitting your job?
**[05:22] ---**
Yeah, 'cause my dreams
can be bought with money.
**[05:25] ---**
You said too much.
**[05:27] ---**
You think?
**[05:29] ---**
But you're worried.
**[05:31] ---**
That's true.
**[05:32] ---**
If it were me, I wouldn't
think of anything good.
**[05:36] ---**
Gads change people.
**[05:38] ---**
I wonder where the kids'll go
now that they have wings to fly free
**[05:44] ---**
and the strength to achieve evil ambitions?
**[05:57] ---**
Good morning, Katana.
**[05:59] ---**
Yeah...
**[06:02] ---**
You were smiling in your sleep.
**[06:07] ---**
I had a dream. One I hadn't had in years.
**[06:10] ---**
A dream?
**[06:12] ---**
I was much older...
**[06:15] ---**
I strode through Night Town
on Zero, crushing as I went...
**[06:18] ---**
and everyone bowed to me.
**[06:21] ---**
Was I in the dream?
**[06:23] ---**
Who knows?
**[06:27] ---**
I'll go buy breakfast.
**[06:29] ---**
Let's go!
**[06:49] ---**
Aiko, you're going out?
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, I'm off from school since
it's the anniversary of its erection...
**[06:55] ---**
so I'm having lunch with a friend.
**[06:58] ---**
Who is this friend?
**[07:01] ---**
That's a secret.
**[07:02] ---**
See you later, Father!
**[07:04] ---**
Go!
**[07:07] ---**
A secret, huh?
**[07:09] ---**
Having confidence in
yourself isn't a bad thing.
**[07:17] ---**
Special beings...
**[07:19] ---**
Does that include Katana?
**[07:41] ---**
Who are you?
**[07:42] ---**
You're Katana, aren't you?
**[07:44] ---**
Do you have any friends?
**[07:48] ---**
It appears you don't.
**[07:50] ---**
If so, why don't you be my friend?
**[07:53] ---**
We're both lonely, after all...
**[08:03] ---**
Zero!
**[08:04] ---**
No Techodes.
**[08:06] ---**
Let's play this out barehanded.
**[08:38] ---**
Katana?
**[08:42] ---**
Katana!
**[08:56] ---**
Katana?
**[08:57] ---**
Are you hanging out with him?
**[09:00] ---**
I wouldn't exactly call
it hanging out, but...
**[09:02] ---**
I'm sure I told you not to go near him.
**[09:05] ---**
I'm not the most honest myself,
but he's in a different league.
**[09:09] ---**
He's a different species.
**[09:11] ---**
You told me that before,
but a different species?
**[09:15] ---**
He's different.
**[09:17] ---**
Listen, Hajiki.
**[09:18] ---**
No matter what, we're
no more than city punks.
**[09:21] ---**
But Katana is different.
**[09:23] ---**
He's the real thing.
**[09:25] ---**
Real thing...
**[09:28] ---**
Whoa!
**[09:33] ---**
Isn't that...
**[09:34] ---**
Aiko, is something wrong?
**[09:37] ---**
Hajiki, please help me!
**[09:39] ---**
What happened?
**[09:41] ---**
I can't find him!
**[09:42] ---**
Katana's nowhere to be found!
**[09:46] ---**
W-Who hired you?
**[09:49] ---**
That's a typical one-liner.
**[09:51] ---**
You were in a position to
hear such a line yesterday.
**[09:55] ---**
You have a point.
**[10:03] ---**
Are you okay?
**[10:04] ---**
Y-You...
**[10:05] ---**
Oh, that hurts.
**[10:06] ---**
You sure are a rough child.
**[10:09] ---**
Hey, what's your name?
**[10:11] ---**
I'm Hajiki Sanada!
**[10:13] ---**
Hajiki and Katana, hm?
**[10:16] ---**
You are dangerous friends!
**[10:22] ---**
Run!
**[10:22] ---**
R-Right!
**[10:24] ---**
Who the hell was that?
**[10:26] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[10:27] ---**
If you give a hit man your name,
you'll be hunted for life.
**[10:31] ---**
Hit man?
**[10:49] ---**
I gained another friend.
**[10:56] ---**
So that thing I saw this
morning was his doing?
**[11:00] ---**
In any event, congratulations,
now you're also his target.
**[11:03] ---**
Target?
**[11:05] ---**
He decided you're a friend of mine.
**[11:07] ---**
That's not funny!
**[11:09] ---**
I'm not involved! I'm going home.
**[11:11] ---**
We can't have that.
**[11:13] ---**
Though I could kill him
while he's busy killing you...
**[11:16] ---**
What's that mean?
**[11:17] ---**
You can also use me in the same way.
**[11:20] ---**
It's in your interest to work with me.
**[11:28] ---**
Don't you know it's lonely...
**[11:30] ---**
leaving me all alone like that?
**[11:59] ---**
To think two of us can't take him...
**[12:03] ---**
That's a letdown.
**[12:05] ---**
I thought if we came here,
we'd find a few smuggled guns.
**[12:09] ---**
Guns? Are you nuts?
**[12:10] ---**
We can't beat him barehanded.
**[12:13] ---**
He's a pro.
**[12:14] ---**
The real thing.
**[12:16] ---**
Real thing...
**[12:17] ---**
Hello!
**[12:20] ---**
I know you're in there.
**[12:23] ---**
Please don't make a fuss and be my friends!
**[12:29] ---**
The real thing...
**[12:35] ---**
*What is this?*
**[12:38] ---**
*Why do I have to go through
the same thing as Katana?*
**[13:05] ---**
If only Lightning were here.
**[13:08] ---**
Without Lightning there...
**[13:10] ---**
you're an insect I can
blow away with a breath!
**[13:13] ---**
That's harsh, Mr. Hachisuka.
**[13:22] ---**
8-4...
**[13:23] ---**
It's over there.
**[13:26] ---**
It's a map of the sewers.
**[13:28] ---**
I'm glad I took that job.
**[13:35] ---**
Katana...
**[13:36] ---**
Why is a hit man after your life?
**[13:38] ---**
He must've been hired by
someone who hates me.
**[13:41] ---**
Any ideas who?
**[13:43] ---**
I know about a hundred.
**[13:45] ---**
What's that about?
**[13:46] ---**
That means you're to blame.
**[13:49] ---**
Stop this stuff already.
**[13:51] ---**
I'm hated because I'm tough.
**[13:53] ---**
I was ready for it.
**[13:55] ---**
I can't understand something like that.
**[14:00] ---**
Did I ask you to understand?
**[14:03] ---**
You keep on living in your placid world.
**[14:06] ---**
I'll use Zero...
**[14:08] ---**
to get the underworld in my grasp.
**[14:12] ---**
Katana...
**[14:21] ---**
What did you say?
**[14:23] ---**
Why didn't you say so sooner?
**[14:26] ---**
There's no doubt.
**[14:27] ---**
With that description,
it has to be Takenaka.
**[14:30] ---**
By Takenaka, not the
recently popular hit man?
**[14:33] ---**
Hit man?
**[14:35] ---**
Once an elite corporation's salaryman.
**[14:38] ---**
An unusual character who
dropped out of the normal world...
**[14:41] ---**
into the underworld, but it
seems his skill's nothing to scoff at.
**[14:45] ---**
If Hajiki messes with him the
wrong way, he'll be killed, too.
**[14:55] ---**
The subway...
**[15:00] ---**
It's over there. Let's go.
**[15:03] ---**
Hmph.
**[15:34] ---**
What is he?
**[15:37] ---**
What the hell is he?
**[15:43] ---**
Hajiki's gone underground.
**[15:44] ---**
In his mood, I'm sure he has.
**[15:47] ---**
I think so, too.
**[15:49] ---**
If that's the case, he's heading there!
**[16:04] ---**
Finally made it.
**[16:05] ---**
This is...
**[16:06] ---**
It's an old, abolished subway station.
**[16:09] ---**
It used to carry baggage and
people from the harbor into town.
**[16:13] ---**
The exit's that way.
**[16:14] ---**
To the street, quick.
**[16:16] ---**
That map is useful.
**[16:18] ---**
Yeah, me and the guys were
having a blast over it before.
**[16:21] ---**
If I made this Lightning's base...
**[16:23] ---**
I could go anywhere in
town without anyone knowing.
**[16:26] ---**
That's true.
**[16:28] ---**
I think I'll also be using it.
**[16:31] ---**
Do what you want!
**[16:32] ---**
I've had it with you!
**[16:34] ---**
For one thing, we live in different worlds!
**[16:38] ---**
Oh, you think so, huh?
**[16:40] ---**
I think we're similar breeds.
**[16:43] ---**
What did you say?
**[16:45] ---**
What are you doing in this place, anyway?
**[16:48] ---**
You're being chased around by
a hit man in a sewer like a rat.
**[16:53] ---**
We're the same, you and I.
**[16:56] ---**
You're wrong!
**[16:57] ---**
This all happened because of you!
**[17:01] ---**
I'm not involved!
**[17:02] ---**
Have you finished your little talk?
**[17:14] ---**
I wish you would finally clue in...
**[17:16] ---**
that you can't get away from me.
**[17:20] ---**
W-What is this?
**[17:22] ---**
What did I do?
**[17:24] ---**
You two are mistaken fools
who are beyond help.
**[17:28] ---**
You can't do anything
without your Techodes...
**[17:31] ---**
Even if you survive...
**[17:33] ---**
you'd only be maggots
bitter towards society.
**[17:36] ---**
Y-You're wrong!
**[17:37] ---**
I'm...
**[17:38] ---**
In that case, at least be my friend...
**[17:41] ---**
and be of service to me.
**[18:20] ---**
This is it, the cargo
elevator leading to the subway.
**[18:24] ---**
If we use this...
**[18:26] ---**
I'm counting on you!
**[18:28] ---**
Right.
**[18:35] ---**
You're stubborn.
**[18:55] ---**
Hajiki!
**[18:57] ---**
Lightning! Lightning!
**[19:16] ---**
You're an Atechode.
**[19:18] ---**
You know...
**[19:20] ---**
I don't like being the only
one with a body like this.
**[19:24] ---**
It's lonely being all alone.
**[19:26] ---**
I'm sorry to hear that.
**[19:29] ---**
If you really are, please be my friend.
**[19:55] ---**
It's cheating to rely on a Techode.
**[20:35] ---**
Hajiki!
**[20:36] ---**
S-Stay back!
**[21:21] ---**
Hajiki, are you all right?
**[21:24] ---**
Yeah...
**[21:42] ---**
I'm taking this.
**[21:44] ---**
I want to find out who hired him.
**[21:47] ---**
Aren't you glad that he's
an Atechode, Hajiki?
**[21:51] ---**
If it hadn't been, you'd be a murderer.
**[21:55] ---**
In the end, we use Techodes
to settle things with violence.
**[22:00] ---**
You and I are the same.
**[22:06] ---**
It's so lonely...
**[22:12] ---**
Hajiki...
**[22:13] ---**
He's wrong...
**[22:15] ---**
He's wrong.
**[22:17] ---**
I'm not the same as him.
**[22:22] ---**
