    The Logic of Those Who Leave
[02:12] ---
    Oh, you're Hajiki's mother.
[02:15] ---
    May I extend our sympathy...
[02:18] ---
    Never mind the formality.
[02:20] ---
    Please return Hajiki to me.
[02:23] ---
    I know he's here.
[02:25] ---
    Make it quick.
[02:26] ---
    We're making a concentrated
    effort to find him, as well...
[02:30] ---
    but we can't locate him.
[02:32] ---
    Don't lie to me!
[02:34] ---
    He has no other place to go!
[02:36] ---
    I have no excuse.
[02:38] ---
    I should have supervised him better.
[02:42] ---
    Please knock it off.
[02:43] ---
    It's not your fault.
[02:46] ---
    Well, um, actually...
[02:47] ---
    I have a general idea what you
    had him do with that Heavy Metal.
[02:53] ---
    Yes, it would be simple
    to blame it on you, but...
[02:58] ---
    it doesn't work that way.
[03:00] ---
    It would only be an excuse
    to say I had a hands-off policy.
[03:06] ---
    I'm to blame for being too busy
    to watch his activities properly.
[03:10] ---
    A 16-year old is still a child.
[03:13] ---
    Mrs. Sanada...
[03:16] ---
    We will inform you the
    moment we locate him.
[03:19] ---
    I swear.
[03:26] ---
    It's strange, isn't it?
[03:28] ---
    You're a machine, but when I'm with you...
[03:36] ---
    It's me.
[03:46] ---
    You guys eat, too.
[03:48] ---
    I can't eat this all.
[03:49] ---
    I feel too dreadful to do that.
[03:52] ---
    We're the ones who got
    you to do all sorts of jobs.
[03:55] ---
    Pardon?
[03:57] ---
    Your mother and sister have
    rented a room at Shun Pu Rou.
[04:01] ---
    After you've eaten, go home.
[04:06] ---
    Please try not to make it sound so simple.
[04:09] ---
    How am I supposed to show my face to them?
[04:12] ---
    Because of me...
[04:22] ---
    There's no way I can go home.
[04:24] ---
    Don't worry about your mother.
[04:26] ---
    She said the three of you would
    start over from the beginning.
[04:30] ---
    I know it must be awkward to go home.
[04:33] ---
    But you have no other place to call home.
[04:38] ---
    I'll ask Larry to handle
    Lightning's disposal for you.
[04:42] ---
    So hurry home to your mother.
[04:49] ---
    Lightning's disposal...
[05:05] ---
    Aiko...
[05:06] ---
    Good afternoon.
[05:08] ---
    May I use your kitchen?
[05:19] ---
    I can't do that.
[05:23] ---
    Doing what you can't...
[05:26] ---
    will make Katana allow
    you to live in Night Town.
[05:30] ---
    I lost, you know.
[05:33] ---
    He has no interest in me anymore.
[05:36] ---
    I wonder.
[05:38] ---
    Do you think he'll let
    Techodes other than Zero exist?
[05:44] ---
    Come on, Hajiki.
[05:45] ---
    It's a lot better than the way
    Takumi parted with Thunderbolt.
[05:50] ---
    You'll have to part with
    Lightning sometime.
[05:55] ---
    This is the time.
[05:58] ---
    I'll think about it.
[05:59] ---
    There are only two options.
[06:01] ---
    Abandon Lightning and
    return to your old life...
[06:05] ---
    or challenge Katana to a return
    match and get killed this time.
[06:11] ---
    Do you think so?
[06:13] ---
    Do you really think there
    are only two ways?
[06:18] ---
    A suicide over a pessimistic future
[06:20] ---
    would only please the papers.
[06:22] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[06:23] ---
    There's always that.
[06:26] ---
    Hajiki, where are you going?
[06:28] ---
    For a walk.
[06:30] ---
    It's all right.
[06:32] ---
    I'll go via the sewer.
[06:33] ---
    Don't tell me you're going to meet Katana?
[06:36] ---
    I said I was going for a walk, just a walk.
[06:42] ---
    Please forgive him.
[06:44] ---
    He is an unhappy lamb who lost his way.
[06:47] ---
    I should bear the sin,
[06:49] ---
    as the one who didn't notice
    the devil lurking inside him.
[06:54] ---
    Please find it in your heart
    to forgive Hajiki Sanada's sins.
[06:57] ---
    It's kind of cold to keep
    it a secret from his buddies.
[07:01] ---
    It kind of pisses me off that
    he put on an honest front with us,
[07:05] ---
    but in reality he was a
    criminal who used a Heavy Metal.
[07:10] ---
    So what's Hajiki gonna do now?
[07:14] ---
    Who knows.
[07:17] ---
    It's impossible.
[07:18] ---
    I can't part with Lightning.
[07:21] ---
    I'd rather just...
[07:32] ---
    If I were him...
    What would you do?
[07:35] ---
    He either has to hit rock
    bottom or face off with Katana.
[07:40] ---
    Hajiki hasn't got the courage to.
[07:43] ---
    It would be his own doom if he did that.
[07:46] ---
    That's stupid.
[07:48] ---
    That stuff is nothing more
    than a cockfight in a hen house.
[07:51] ---
    Win or lose, the sky will be blue,
    and the world won't even twitch.
[07:56] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:58] ---
    That's philosophic. So not you!
[08:02] ---
    Hajiki just might have beaten me to it.
[08:17] ---
    The city is changing.
[08:22] ---
    It looks like the balance
    of evil is starting to crumble.
[08:26] ---
    Thanks to him.
[08:28] ---
    Hoods being pushed into
    the streets by the mob wars.
[08:33] ---
    Police starting to put effort
    into capturing those criminals.
[08:37] ---
    And the group who's after that boy.
[08:43] ---
    With egos and motives amuck,
[08:45] ---
    a three-sided war is beginning to unfold.
[08:49] ---
    Centering around the kid named Katana.
[09:04] ---
    Hajiki, huh?
[09:06] ---
    You said it again. That's the
    17th time since this morning.
[09:20] ---
    Katana, you actually
    like Hajiki, don't you?
[09:25] ---
    Perhaps.
[09:26] ---
    I thought so!
[09:30] ---
    He's my pet.
[09:32] ---
    Not as good as a dog or cat.
    A pet in the insect family.
[09:36] ---
    A pet that doesn't realize who
    his master is, or who's stronger,
[09:40] ---
    and throws around his horns
    or pincers to charge at me.
[09:45] ---
    It's incredibly fun to torment him.
[09:48] ---
    Night Town is my ant farm.
[09:51] ---
    I'll have as much fun with it as I can.
[09:54] ---
    If you like him, you should
    try to get along with him.
[10:09] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:10] ---
    It ended up taking half a day to make.
[10:13] ---
    But I can guarantee it tastes good.
[10:16] ---
    Sorry, but...
[10:18] ---
    You have no appetite?
[10:20] ---
    I guess it's because of Thunderbolt.
[10:22] ---
    Gads...
[10:24] ---
    Techodes...
[10:25] ---
    expose people's hearts.
[10:30] ---
    I can't believe that was my real intent...
[10:32] ---
    The real me...
[10:37] ---
    I haven't repaired Messah yet.
[10:41] ---
    Messah is still broken.
[10:43] ---
    You came here just to tell me that?
[10:46] ---
    To say it's my fault?
[10:49] ---
    I can fix Messah if I want.
[10:52] ---
    I just haven't.
[10:55] ---
    But it doesn't feel that strange.
[10:59] ---
    I don't plan to throw Messah away
[11:01] ---
    but it's like it isn't lonely.
[11:03] ---
    It kind of feels strange to say it.
[11:05] ---
    Of course you shouldn't throw it away.
[11:08] ---
    What a luxurious worry that is.
[11:10] ---
    I knew you'd say that.
[11:13] ---
    But for some reason,
    I think it's okay like this.
[11:24] ---
    Make a move, Hajiki.
[11:33] ---
    What the hell are they doing?
[11:35] ---
    That's my house.
[11:36] ---
    They're from the crushed mobs.
[11:40] ---
    They're so pathetic.
[11:42] ---
    The moment they lost
    their roost. Just look at them.
[11:45] ---
    Jack...
[11:47] ---
    We've got a strong link...
[11:48] ---
    to run into each other
    again like this at the very end.
[11:52] ---
    I'm about to leave Unit Blue.
[11:55] ---
    We'll probably never meet again.
[11:57] ---
    Thanks for your help.
[11:59] ---
    Be well.
[12:04] ---
    Jack!
[12:06] ---
    Jack, take me with you!
[12:09] ---
    I'll leave Unit Blue, too!
[12:11] ---
    I don't want to be in
    this city anymore, either...
[12:14] ---
    As long as I'm with Lightning,
    I can go anywhere!
[12:17] ---
    So please!
[12:18] ---
    Don't be stupid! You have family!
[12:31] ---
    You're serious?
[12:35] ---
    You probably have a lot to prepare.
[12:37] ---
    At midnight...
[12:39] ---
    I'll be waiting at the water
    tower on the outskirts of town.
[12:45] ---
    I'll be there.
[12:56] ---
    How did the order go?
[13:00] ---
    No go.
[13:01] ---
    Everyone's too afraid of
    Katana to give us any work.
[13:05] ---
    The starvation tactics
    will continue awhile.
[13:08] ---
    I see.
[13:09] ---
    Where's Hajiki?
[13:10] ---
    He's back.
[13:12] ---
    So did he say what he'd do?
[13:14] ---
    He asked to borrow a pen and paper.
[13:16] ---
    He just left with it.
[13:18] ---
    Give me a break.
[13:19] ---
    Is he going to write a will or something?
[13:22] ---
    I doubt it.
[13:27] ---
    Hajiki?
[13:40] ---
    Hajiki...
[13:49] ---
    It says to please give this to his mother.
[13:52] ---
    My goodness.
[13:54] ---
    He's the good son 'til the bitter end.
[13:56] ---
    That's chop logic!
[13:58] ---
    It's only an excuse to run away.
[14:00] ---
    He said he'd work to buy
    back his house in another unit...
[14:04] ---
    or his family'd be safer without him...
[14:07] ---
    What the hell is that kid thinking?
[14:09] ---
    What a display of passion.
[14:11] ---
    I guess seeing his mom really got to you.
[14:14] ---
    He understands.
[14:16] ---
    If he's making excuses, he's prepared,
[14:18] ---
    and that's his conclusion.
[14:23] ---
    Come on, don't just stand there...
[14:25] ---
    Help me, Satsuki.
[14:27] ---
    Get that bag.
[14:31] ---
    It's heavy.
[14:33] ---
    Don't complain.
[14:35] ---
    I'll make up for my negligence
    and be strict from now on!
[14:39] ---
    What? No way!
[14:42] ---
    Just get moving!
[14:43] ---
    Yes, ma'am...
[14:53] ---
    Shall we go, Lightning?
[15:12] ---
    Who's there?
[15:15] ---
    Shinozuka...
[15:17] ---
    What's wrong with you?
[15:19] ---
    What are you doing here?
[15:21] ---
    Why are you running away?
[15:23] ---
    That's got nothing to do with you.
[15:26] ---
    It's cowardly to talk like that!
[15:28] ---
    Who cares if you don't buy back the house?
[15:31] ---
    If you want to protect
    your mother and Satsuki
[15:35] ---
    you should stay with them!
[15:38] ---
    You know I can't abandon Lightning.
[15:42] ---
    I understand that, but you could go back...
[15:46] ---
    to how it was before, without Lightning.
[15:49] ---
    I can't possibly go back!
[15:51] ---
    It was too late the moment we met.
[15:54] ---
    Actually, I don't want to go
    back to the way I used to be.
[15:58] ---
    I don't plan to.
[15:59] ---
    Why?
[16:01] ---
    Was losing to Katana
    that painful? That frustrating?
[16:05] ---
    Katana?
[16:07] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I completely forgot about him.
[16:11] ---
    Well, yeah, it came as
    a shock when he beat me...
[16:14] ---
    but everything is kind of different now.
[16:18] ---
    I don't care about Katana whatsoever now.
[16:23] ---
    I don't understand.
[16:25] ---
    How can you expect me to understand that?
[16:28] ---
    We'll see each other again.
[16:30] ---
    It's not like I'll never
    come back or anything.
[16:33] ---
    See you around.
[16:36] ---
    Let me go.
[16:44] ---
    What the hell?
[16:45] ---
    I won't let you leave.
[16:47] ---
    I won't let you go and
    abandon Satsuki and your mother!
[16:54] ---
    Get up.
[16:56] ---
    Shinozuka...
[17:05] ---
    Say it, Hajiki.
[17:08] ---
    Say you won't go anywhere.
[17:10] ---
    Go on, say it!
[17:12] ---
    I told you it has nothing to do with you.
[17:15] ---
    It does!
[17:17] ---
    If you left this city...
[17:29] ---
    Don't go...
[17:38] ---
    Shinozuka...
[17:41] ---
    Thank you, Shinozuka.
[17:45] ---
    But I've already made my decision.
[17:49] ---
    What a sensual moment.
[18:02] ---
    So you forgot about me?
[18:04] ---
    You don't care about me anymore?
[18:06] ---
    That's a lie, and you know it.
[18:08] ---
    The loser shouldn't put
    himself on a pedestal.
[18:11] ---
    Were you listening?
[18:12] ---
    When did I give you permission to run away?
[18:16] ---
    I told you to stay and watch
    as this city becomes mine.
[18:20] ---
    Shut up.
[18:22] ---
    Leave me alone.
[18:24] ---
    You go and do whatever
    you want in your rotten world.
[18:27] ---
    I'm sick of your games.
[18:33] ---
    Run, Shinozuka!
[18:40] ---
    Lightning!
[18:47] ---
    You won't get away!
[19:02] ---
    Hajiki, huh?
[19:04] ---
    Well, I guess I'll get going.
[19:09] ---
    Sharks!
[19:14] ---
    You have guts to show your
    face in front of me, Sharks.
[19:20] ---
    It's not good the way it is...
[19:25] ---
    Move.
[19:26] ---
    B-But I can still start over if I act now.
[19:29] ---
    Move it!
[19:31] ---
    If I have a gift, I can start over!
[19:33] ---
    I said move it, you piece of shit!
[19:53] ---
    You have to stay under
    my thumb for eternity!
[19:58] ---
    Don't run from me! Fight me, Hajiki!
[20:10] ---
    Yes... That's good.
[20:13] ---
    When I tell you to fight me, you fight me!
[20:27] ---
    Zero!
[20:49] ---
    You lost something
    important to you, didn't you?
[20:54] ---
    Hajiki was important to you, you know.
[21:00] ---
    As long as you're with me...
[21:02] ---
    I'm good.
[21:11] ---
    Hajiki...
[21:23] ---
    Yujiro Sanada, huh?
[21:27] ---
    The kid always said he
    would never be like his dad,
[21:32] ---
    but he's the same in the end.
[21:34] ---
    He left his family and vanished
    to the end of the stars like his dad.
[21:39] ---
    It'd be nice to isolate oneself,
    leaving past and present behind...
[21:44] ---
    just charging forward.
[21:48] ---
    Well, every man faces
    something like this in his lifetime.
[21:52] ---
