[00:23] ---
    You must be the thief
    of the capital, Hakamadare.
[00:27] ---
    Yeah. I was surprised when
    this was suddenly delivered to me.
[00:32] ---
    Tenkaimaru, the big boss
[00:34] ---
    that controls the thieves
    of the old Southern capital.
[00:39] ---
    I hear he is a man of honor
    who only attacks aristocrats.
[00:46] ---
    What does a bigshot like him want with me?
[00:50] ---
    Talk to the boss if you want to know.
[00:53] ---
    Enter.
[01:02] ---
    So, what did you want to talk about?
[01:04] ---
    Hakamadare, previously
    known as Fujiwarano Yasusuke.
[01:10] ---
    For what reason did you toss aside your name?
[01:12] ---
    A foolish question.
[01:14] ---
    Can one save the weak with a name?
[01:22] ---
    It seems my eyes made no mistake.
[01:25] ---
    I've heard of your endeavors in the capital.
[01:28] ---
    Looks like the rumors were true.
[01:31] ---
    Hakamadare, I wish
    to speak with one such as you.
[01:50] ---
    A seal guarded since ancient times
[01:59] ---
    Now it falls and turns to thorns
[02:06] ---
    Remnants of resentment brought to
    life by the darkness of night take breath

[02:14] ---
    What does that pyre desire
    and why does it beckon

[02:24] ---
    The flowers of darkness
    that fear and hate the light

[02:32] ---
    Rakshasa, who dances
    wrapped in a cloak of blood

[02:40] ---
    Release and call back the golden armor
[02:48] ---
    The blade, which can cut
    through inevitable destiny

[02:59] ---
    Night of the crimson moon
[03:01] ---
    GARO: CRIMSON MOON
[03:09] ---
    ZANGA
[03:18] ---
    Problems have arisen recently.
[03:20] ---
    It seems, the Rajou gates are no
    longer strong enough to protect us.
[03:25] ---
    The new gates of Suzaku Avenue,
    the Raise gates, will soon be complete.
[03:32] ---
    Finish it as quickly as possible.
[03:34] ---
    Yes.
[03:35] ---
    With Haruaki-dono's onmyou spells,
    the gates will be impenetrable.
[03:42] ---
    By Haruaki-dono?
[03:44] ---
    We have to have you protect
    the Light Palace, Yasunori-dono.
[03:50] ---
    With this, no evil spirit will
    be allowed to set foot inside.
[03:54] ---
    The defense of the capital...
[03:56] ---
    No, the Light Palace, will be iron-clad.
[04:00] ---
    But it is still not enough.
[04:03] ---
    The Golden Armor?
[04:06] ---
    Tadano Shinbochi promised to
    bequeath it upon his son, Yorinobu,
[04:10] ---
    so he could become your strength.
[04:14] ---
    However, that is not what came to be.
[04:16] ---
    The one called Raikou has inherited the armor
[04:19] ---
    and lives with Haruaki's granddaughter, Seimei.
[04:24] ---
    Could that be why you want
    to have Seimei as your own?
[04:31] ---
    Correct. I wish to protect this Light Palace.
[04:35] ---
    Then we should bring those two in immediately!
[04:39] ---
    There is no point in forcing them here.
[04:42] ---
    Seimei would never obey that way.
[04:44] ---
    And it seems that the one called Raikou,
[04:47] ---
    cannot use his power without Seimei by his side.
[04:51] ---
    Quite a difficult situation.
[04:55] ---
    If I may be so bold to say,
[04:57] ---
    there are Makai Knights
    other than the Golden Knight.
[05:00] ---
    Like the Golden Armor that is
    passed down the Minamoto family,
[05:04] ---
    the Southern Fujiwara family
    carries the Silver Armor.
[05:08] ---
    Hoh.
[05:09] ---
    However, the whereabouts of
    the armor is currently unknown.
[05:13] ---
    It is said that one of the
    branch families have inherited it.
[05:20] ---
    You will look for it?
[05:23] ---
    Most definitely!
[05:27] ---
    Not my life! Not my life!
[05:30] ---
    Oops. That's enough noise outta you.
[05:34] ---
    Found it!
[05:36] ---
    A huge stash, just like the rumors.
[05:40] ---
    Wait! That is our family's entire fortune!
[05:43] ---
    Shut up!
[05:44] ---
    Our boss, Hakamadare-sama, forbids killing,
[05:49] ---
    so we weren't planning to take your lives.
[05:53] ---
    But if you keep screaming like that...
[05:57] ---
    A ball? Like the ones used for kemari?
[06:02] ---
    Huh?
[06:26] ---
    Our gang is done for!
[06:29] ---
    Not just the group that attacked
    the mansion on Gojou Highway.
[06:32] ---
    Last night, nine people were killed!
[06:35] ---
    You idiot!
[06:37] ---
    I didn't ask you what
    happened on yesterday's raid.
[06:41] ---
    Don't do things on your own.
[06:43] ---
    I'm the one who decides
    which aristocrat's house we attack.
[06:47] ---
    I was thinking that maybe
    another gang is behind this?
[06:53] ---
    I'm saying other groups are looking down on us.
[06:56] ---
    Aren't you a little too lax, Boss?
[07:00] ---
    Don't kill. Only steal from aristocrats.
[07:03] ---
    To top it off, give the
    poor charity if you see them.
[07:07] ---
    It's like we're trying to fix the world.
[07:09] ---
    What are we? We're thieves!
[07:12] ---
    You're right. We're thieves.
[07:15] ---
    But is there some law that
    says thieves can't give out charity?
[07:21] ---
    That being said, we don't
    back down. We fight back.
[07:25] ---
    Boss!
[07:27] ---
    That was the work of a monster.
[07:30] ---
    I saw it with my own eyes.
[07:33] ---
    An evil spirit killed everyone
    with a weird kemari ball.
[07:38] ---
    Kemari?
[07:40] ---
    Kemari?
[07:40] ---
    The kemari ball game?
[07:42] ---
    There's no way.
[07:42] ---
    No way.
[07:45] ---
    Shut up!
[07:48] ---
    Killing with a kemari ball, huh?
[07:50] ---
    That definitely isn't the work of a human.
[08:00] ---
    It must be the work of a Horror.
[08:04] ---
    The Silver Armor?
[08:06] ---
    Yes, it is something passed
    down the Fujiwara family.
[08:11] ---
    The armor is always passed down in secret.
[08:15] ---
    Due to the method and the passage of time,
[08:17] ---
    I am not even sure if it truly exists.
[08:23] ---
    I see. You want to know where it went.
[08:28] ---
    There are a few possible candidates.
[08:31] ---
    You should go down this list.
[08:33] ---
    Really?!
[08:36] ---
    Hm? Shake?
[08:40] ---
    I am not a dog.
[08:43] ---
    Money. Such a tough woman.
[08:47] ---
    Thank you!
[08:55] ---
    It's fine to make a gate,
    but in a place like this?
[09:00] ---
    The aristocrats are only thinking
    of protecting the Light Palace.
[09:38] ---
    I see. Him?
[09:40] ---
    Yes! My little brother, Yasusuke.
[09:44] ---
    Yasusuke, come here!
[09:48] ---
    Yasusuke, is it?
[09:51] ---
    I hear the young service
    candidates are excellent this year.
[09:55] ---
    Mikado is quite pleased as well.
[09:58] ---
    Devote yourself. It will be
    a great honor to be chosen.
[10:03] ---
    It will also open a path to success.
[10:05] ---
    Yes!
[11:02] ---
    Wait, Narimichi.
[11:04] ---
    Why did you push yourself so far?
[11:08] ---
    If it weren't for you...
[11:11] ---
    I should have been the first to be chosen!
[11:15] ---
    You'll have another chance.
    The injury isn't that bad, is it?
[11:18] ---
    There is no next year for youth selection!
[11:34] ---
    It has been a long time.
[11:36] ---
    I'm happy that you even
    remembered the mansion.
[11:40] ---
    Narimichi. It was you, after all.
[11:43] ---
    I heard you died during an epidemic.
[11:46] ---
    I'm so happy to see a friend again.
[11:50] ---
    When I heard it was a kemari ball...
[11:54] ---
    Why did you attack my men,
    instead of me directly?
[11:58] ---
    I wanted to play *kemari
    *with you again without interruption.
[12:03] ---
    Just like in the past.
[12:07] ---
    What's wrong? Let's enjoy ourselves.
[12:11] ---
    What is so fun about this?
[12:12] ---
    It's not fun?
[12:14] ---
    Or are you saying that
    I'm not good enough for you?
[12:18] ---
    If that's the case....
[12:26] ---
    Will this make things fun for you?
[12:29] ---
    So you really did become a Horror.
[12:32] ---
    Let's enjoy ourselves.
[12:55] ---
    Yasusuke! Are you hurt?
[12:57] ---
    Y-You're...
[13:15] ---
    Silver armor, you say?
[13:18] ---
    Do you know anything about it?
[13:20] ---
    I have asked various branches of the family.
[13:25] ---
    You are the only person left, Toshinaga-dono.
[13:30] ---
    Do you know of it?
[13:33] ---
    Though I know of it, I have never seen it.
[13:36] ---
    I heard it was passed down
    Fujiwarano Tokitada's family.
[13:40] ---
    Fujiwarano Tokitada? If that's the case...
[13:44] ---
    That's right.
[13:45] ---
    Tokitada fell into Michinaga's disfavor.
[13:48] ---
    He was cut off from any advancement
    and disappeared from the capital.
[13:54] ---
    It is armor that no one has actually seen.
[13:57] ---
    Its possible existence has only been
    passed down by word of mouth.
[14:01] ---
    With Tokitada gone, there is no one...
[14:06] ---
    Thank you very much.
[14:10] ---
    Well, that was a big surprise.
[14:13] ---
    I never imagined that you were
    the Golden Knight, Raikou.
[14:17] ---
    Right? Right?
[14:19] ---
    Makai Knights pass their armor
    down their worthy bloodlines.
[14:24] ---
    Family, huh? How stupid.
[14:27] ---
    Do you know anything about
    that Horror, or evil spirit?
[14:32] ---
    Does he live in this house?
[14:34] ---
    What will you do once you know?
[14:35] ---
    He will find and eliminate it, of course.
[14:39] ---
    It is my duty to protect
    the people from evil spirits.
[14:43] ---
    I see. But, stay back.
[14:46] ---
    I will take care of this myself.
[14:49] ---
    No way!
[14:50] ---
    You may be a skilled warrior,
    but a normal human can't take him.
[14:53] ---
    Leave it to us.
[14:56] ---
    You're being too pesky, Raikou.
[15:04] ---
    Raikou-sama.
[15:06] ---
    Did you notice what he had on his arm?
[15:11] ---
    No way, right?
[15:17] ---
    Why didn't you tell him?
[15:20] ---
    Like I could.
[15:24] ---
    I am Tenkaimaru.
[15:26] ---
    I was once called Fujiwarano Tokitada.
[15:31] ---
    I have tossed aside my aristocracy
    and live among the weak.
[15:36] ---
    I never thought a man with the same
    ideals would appear in my bloodline.
[15:54] ---
    Don't hold it with brute force,
    but with your heart and soul.
[15:59] ---
    If you do, it will become as light as a feather.
[16:04] ---
    Being able to hold the
    Makai sword is the first step.
[16:08] ---
    You must learn to control this blade freely.
[16:13] ---
    Hey, what are you deciding on your own?
[16:15] ---
    Normally, I would have
    you undergo heavy training.
[16:19] ---
    However, I do not have much time left.
[16:23] ---
    You...
[16:25] ---
    This guy will train you in my place.
[16:30] ---
    You must face yourself, Hakamadare.
[16:34] ---
    Even if you turn your back
    from the path of aristocracy,
[16:37] ---
    you cannot escape your own destiny.
[16:40] ---
    Your fate as one who protects.
[16:47] ---
    He just said whatever he wanted.
[16:51] ---
    Just when I finally thought
    I was free to do what I want.
[16:56] ---
    A child of the Fujiwara family.
[16:58] ---
    Yeah.
[16:59] ---
    I tossed aside my family name,
    but couldn't fully become a thief.
[17:05] ---
    You're saying someone
    like me is one who protects?
[17:09] ---
    This joke isn't even funny.
[17:15] ---
    So you appeared.
[17:18] ---
    Let's enjoy some kemari.
[17:21] ---
    Narimichi, why did you do it?
[17:24] ---
    Huh?
[17:25] ---
    Didn't you advance in the ranks quite well?
[17:27] ---
    What made you become a Horror?!
[17:30] ---
    Quite well?
[17:32] ---
    Maybe that's how others saw it!
[17:35] ---
    But it wasn't enough to match
    my birth, potential, and skill!
[17:41] ---
    Not at all enough!
[17:43] ---
    Status! House!
[17:44] ---
    That! This!
[17:46] ---
    Since I was young!
[17:48] ---
    Like the moon of the mid-autumn
    festival, my life was perfect!
[17:53] ---
    Until that day! Everything
    started from that sprained ankle!
[17:58] ---
    In the end, I was even told that
    I would die from a passing epidemic!
[18:08] ---
    I see. So it's true that you died from sickness.
[18:13] ---
    Everything is your fault!
    My life was ruined because of you!
[18:22] ---
    I don't care if you hold a grudge against me.
[18:24] ---
    But that's no reason to become a Horror!
[18:29] ---
    Social advancement and the size of your house!
[18:31] ---
    Tied down by the life of aristocracy,
[18:34] ---
    you fell for such worthless things.
[18:36] ---
    Yeah, that's why I feel great now!
[18:41] ---
    You're pretty good.
[18:43] ---
    As expected from the first chosen
    during the youth service selection.
[18:47] ---
    Why are you making that face?
    Are you afraid of death?
[18:51] ---
    No, you became a Horror because
    you rotted from your very soul.
[18:58] ---
    It just really saddens me.
[19:00] ---
    Pity? Don't joke around!
    A mere powerless human like you!
[19:10] ---
    What?
[19:16] ---
    Stop! Narimichi!
[19:18] ---
    Your subordinates!
    The candidates from the selection!
[19:23] ---
    All of them! All of them!
    I'm going to devour them all!
[19:33] ---
    Is that you, Yasusuke?
[19:36] ---
    Brother?!
[19:37] ---
    Oh, you!
[19:39] ---
    Perfect timing, thanks for everything!
[19:43] ---
    If you didn't incite
    Michinaga-sama, I would have...!
[19:49] ---
    I'll devour you!
[19:51] ---
    Quell my hunger!
[19:54] ---
    Atone for that day!
[20:05] ---
    We didn't have much time,
    but you survived the harsh training well.
[20:12] ---
    Yeah, I thought I was going to be murdered.
[20:19] ---
    You've gotten a good look in your face.
[20:25] ---
    Are you prepared?
[20:34] ---
    Now, go! The new Silver Knight
    who inherits my armor!
[20:40] ---
    My name is Zanga!
[20:43] ---
    I am a Makai Knight
    that eliminates Horrors...
[20:49] ---
    ...such as you!
[21:12] ---
    Impossible. Yasusuke?
[21:24] ---
    According to the Watchdog Center,
    it should be around here.
[21:30] ---
    Seimei!
[21:31] ---
    Let's go.
[22:04] ---
    Amazing.
[22:08] ---
    Who is that?
[22:25] ---
    A Makai Knight.
[22:42] ---
    Illusions of darkness
    reflect where there is light

[22:49] ---
    The way of the current world is so fleeting
[22:55] ---
    The fluttering butterfly that
    is drowning within your dreams

[23:03] ---
    Will only disappear if you
    reach out gently to touch it

[23:10] ---
    The dancing of the glowing flames (sweetly)
[23:13] ---
    The flower-like music (far away)
[23:17] ---
    The elegance of the moon
[23:20] ---
    Warmth that does not return (gently)
[23:23] ---
    Hold me (look for the light of twilight)
[23:27] ---
    Dance up high, passing
    everything down the family crest

[23:34] ---
    The heart you want to protect
    even to the end of all memory

[23:41] ---
    Dance and bloom proudly,
    these lights that call each other

[23:48] ---
    Will overlap and shine again
[23:51] ---
    These crimson flowers
    of oath that drift to and fro

[24:02] ---
    Next Episode: CONFLICT
[24:03] ---
    Be at peace or the rumbling will ensue.
[24:07] ---
    And that rumbling is that of an empty belly.
[24:12] ---
