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] ---
