[00:26] ---
    Kintoki!
[00:27] ---
    Yes!
[00:33] ---
    So he is not a Horror...
[00:35] ---
    Ashiya Douman.
[00:37] ---
    If you continue like this, you will
    be consumed by the darkness one day.

[00:44] ---
    That is my wish.
[01:02] ---
    A seal guarded since ancient times
[01:10] ---
    Now it falls and turns to thorns
[01:18] ---
    Remnants of resentment brought to
    life by the darkness of night take breath

[01:26] ---
    What does that pyre desire
    and why does it beckon

[01:36] ---
    The flowers of darkness
    that fear and hate the light

[01:44] ---
    Rakshasa, who dances
    wrapped in a cloak of blood

[01:52] ---
    Release and call back the golden armor
[02:00] ---
    The blade, which can cut
    through inevitable destiny

[02:10] ---
    Night of the crimson moon
[02:13] ---
    GARO: CRIMSON MOON
[02:21] ---
    TIED SWORD
[02:31] ---
    Hey!
[02:38] ---
    It appeared.
[02:39] ---
    The evil spirit that has been
    causing problems in this area lately.
[02:47] ---
    What a nice sword! I shall take it.
[02:52] ---
    That is mine!
[02:55] ---
    A good sword chooses its wielder.
[03:00] ---
    Which of us will it be?
[03:29] ---
    How wonderful!
    The way it's cracked is exquisite!
[03:34] ---
    Seimei.
[03:35] ---
    Hey, Seimei.
[03:36] ---
    You mean, Seimei-san.
[03:38] ---
    Seimei-sama will work, too.
[03:41] ---
    Though I refuse being called Mother Seimei.
[03:43] ---
    Hm? Let me see that one, too!
[03:45] ---
    Sure.
[03:46] ---
    Who was that guy?
[03:48] ---
    Ashiya Douman.
[03:50] ---
    So you do know him.
[03:52] ---
    Who is he? Is he a Makai Alchemist?!
[03:57] ---
    Looking closely, this one isn't that great.
[04:19] ---
    Oh, Seimei-dono. How are you doing?
[04:24] ---
    I am not a woman that should be
    worried about by Kintou*-sama*,
[04:28] ---
    head of the police magistrate that
    manages all disputes in the capital.
[04:32] ---
    Now, excuse me.
[04:34] ---
    Now, hold on.
[04:37] ---
    When will you accept
    Michinaga-sama's affections?
[04:41] ---
    You cannot run away forever.
[04:48] ---
    Sir.
[04:50] ---
    Escape!
[04:53] ---
    We'll catch her eventually.
[05:07] ---
    No matter how many people are
    eaten up by Horrors, they don't care.
[05:11] ---
    That goes the same for you.
[05:14] ---
    Makai Alchemist Seimei, you are
    summoned to the Watchdog Center.
[05:19] ---
    Oh, today really isn't a good day!
[05:22] ---
    Hey, wait! Hold on!
[05:37] ---
    What? So you were caught, too?
[05:40] ---
    I am different from her!
    You do not have to do this with me.
[05:45] ---
    Long time no see. Seimei. Raikou.
[05:50] ---
    This Eastern Watchdog Center is where
[05:51] ---
    Makai Knights and
    Makai Alchemists of the capital gather.
[05:54] ---
    Do you have some information on a Horror?
[05:58] ---
    I've told you before.
[05:59] ---
    I don't have the time to take jobs from you.
[06:02] ---
    Hoh? Are you too busy hunting Horrors?
[06:06] ---
    Yes. Even without information
    from the Watchdog Center.
[06:10] ---
    You're just busy collecting
    strange items for your collection.
[06:14] ---
    This is a problem. This request
    was specifically for the two of you.
[06:20] ---
    I'll do it!
[06:20] ---
    I refuse!
[06:26] ---
    Th-Th-Th-This feeling! It can't be!
[06:29] ---
    Yeah, it's a butterfly.
[06:30] ---
    T-T-T-Take it off of me.
    Please! Take it quickly! Take it!
[06:34] ---
    Oh? You still don't like butterflies?
[06:37] ---
    It's not that I don't like them! I hate them!
[06:41] ---
    No! Th-Their pollen will get in my mouth!
[06:44] ---
    Quite the problem, young lady.
    You hate them that much?
[06:51] ---
    This kind of method is terrible!
[06:54] ---
    It's fine if you don't
    want to do it. You seem busy.
[06:57] ---
    I'll do it. I will do any job you want me to!
[07:01] ---
    I see. What a good child you are.
[07:09] ---
    My name is Katsuragino Hisayori.
[07:13] ---
    A Makai Knight apprentice?
[07:18] ---
    In other words, you're a brand new Makai Knight
[07:21] ---
    that hasn't even inherited your armor yet.
[07:23] ---
    And so, you'd like to shadow
    your seniors while they work, correct?
[07:28] ---
    Please take care of me, Raikou-dono.
[07:32] ---
    W-Well! I still have a long way to go myself.
[07:35] ---
    That's exactly right!
[07:38] ---
    No, I have heard of your great achievement.
[07:41] ---
    You were able to summon
    the golden armor back
[07:44] ---
    that was once thought gone forever.
[07:46] ---
    Th-That really isn't something that amazing...
[07:49] ---
    I would like to inherit my
    father's armor as soon as possible!
[07:53] ---
    Wow! So your father was a Makai Knight?
[07:59] ---
    Kintoki!
[08:00] ---
    We are already struggling
    to put food on the table,
[08:03] ---
    yet the great senior here
    added another to our budget.
[08:12] ---
    By the way, this...
[08:21] ---
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you undressed like that?!
[08:24] ---
    I'm checking to see if any
    loathsome pollen got on me.
[08:27] ---
    The butterfly pollen?
[08:28] ---
    Don't utter their name!
[08:32] ---
    Sorry. Can you wipe my back?
[08:35] ---
    Y-Yes!
[08:36] ---
    Not you!
[08:38] ---
    Me?
[08:41] ---
    Hisayori-dono.
[08:43] ---
    I heard that you specifically
    requested to apprentice under us.
[08:47] ---
    Your names precede you.
[08:49] ---
    Could it be that you're interested in me?
[08:54] ---
    No, I wish to learn Raikou-dono's sword style.
[08:58] ---
    So you're another idiot who wants to fight
[09:00] ---
    because it's the duty of a protector.
[09:05] ---
    Protector...
[09:07] ---
    No, I couldn't...
[09:11] ---
    ...protect anyone.
[09:18] ---
    Warriors with well-known swords
    have been attacked one after another.
[09:23] ---
    A Horror?
[09:24] ---
    Speaking of swords, I believe
    Raikou-dono's is famous as well.
[09:31] ---
    That one?
[09:33] ---
    It's not anything special.
    I've had it for a long time.
[09:37] ---
    Did you inherit it from your father?
[09:40] ---
    No, I didn't.
[09:44] ---
    I do not know my father.
[09:49] ---
    I was abandoned outside of the capital.
[10:04] ---
    Katsuragino Hisayori. Hisayori...
[10:07] ---
    I can only depend on you, Izumi Shikibu-sama.
[10:10] ---
    You can just call me Izumi-chan.
[10:13] ---
    It's rare for you to depend on me for anything.
[10:17] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[10:22] ---
    Oh, I see. He is the son of Katsuragino Chiharu.
[10:26] ---
    One who fights evil spirits...
    He was what you call a Makai Knight.
[10:31] ---
    He was suspected of being
    part of a rebellion in the East.
[10:35] ---
    And he escaped from the capital?
[10:50] ---
    Father...
[10:52] ---
    Do not be afraid, Hisayori.
[10:54] ---
    You must live on!
[10:55] ---
    One step outside of the capital and
    you're in a world controlled by spirits.
[11:00] ---
    It is written that Chiharu died there.
[11:10] ---
    The Makai Knight father fell
    and only the son returned alive.
[11:16] ---
    Life is so fleeting.
[11:24] ---
    Why, Seimei.
[11:33] ---
    Minister of the Left.
[11:35] ---
    Are you still not ready to be mine?
[11:38] ---
    How you jest.
[11:48] ---
    Who was that just now?
[11:51] ---
    A woman who lives at night.
[11:53] ---
    Just like those evil spirits.
[11:55] ---
    She was born of high status.
[11:57] ---
    What a waste.
[11:59] ---
    She chose to live in the darkness herself.
[12:02] ---
    She came here to talk to
    Izumi Shikibu about the West.
[12:06] ---
    I know.
[12:19] ---
    Who is it!
[12:21] ---
    What are you doing there!
[12:28] ---
    Kintoki!
[12:29] ---
    Raikou-sama! A thief!
[12:43] ---
    It's you.
[12:48] ---
    Hisayori.
[12:55] ---
    That is my father's sword!
[12:58] ---
    Father?
[12:59] ---
    My father died. He was killed.
[13:02] ---
    Since you hold his sword,
    you must have been the murderer!
[13:05] ---
    It can't be!
[13:13] ---
    Raikou-sama, he is a Horror!
[13:17] ---
    Rakou-sama!
[13:18] ---
    You killed my father, Raikou!
[13:31] ---
    To think an apprentice Makai Knight
    would be possessed by a Horror...
[13:38] ---
    There's no way the
    Watchdog Center didn't notice!
[13:40] ---
    They pushed a troublesome task over to us!
[13:44] ---
    So they wanted us to quietly
    eliminate the failure apprentice.
[13:49] ---
    Let's go, Raikou.
[13:54] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:55] ---
    When did this sword come into my possession?
[13:59] ---
    Hmm, I wonder.
[14:03] ---
    I may have killed his father!
[14:24] ---
    Is he really that man's child?!
[14:27] ---
    Yes. Though he is the eldest,
    he was exiled along with his mother.
[14:36] ---
    We could do nothing to save them.
[14:40] ---
    A child that inherited
    the blood of a Makai Knight.
[14:43] ---
    If he is still alive...
[15:00] ---
    A-A Horror!
[15:03] ---
    No.
[15:17] ---
    Show me your true form!
[15:23] ---
    A Horror?
[15:24] ---
    They attacked in hopes of a meal.
[15:27] ---
    Like moths to a fire!
[15:31] ---
    And what is the food that
    attracted so many Horrors?!
[15:38] ---
    It can't be!
[15:41] ---
    He summoned the golden armor
    subconsciously and survived?
[15:46] ---
    No, the armor protected this child?
[16:02] ---
    Madou Ring.
[16:06] ---
    I am Zaruba. The one who stands
    alongside the Golden Knight.
[16:10] ---
    Any Makai Knight who dons his armor too long...
[16:14] ---
    Their body and soul would
    be consumed by the armor
[16:16] ---
    and they will never again
    return to their original form.
[16:20] ---
    A lost soul beast.
[16:22] ---
    And this child did not transform?
[16:25] ---
    He is a chosen child.
[16:42] ---
    This child is my Makai Knight.
[16:52] ---
    I have no memory of that time.
[16:55] ---
    I may have been partially eaten
    by Horrors, turning into one myself.
[17:01] ---
    Then, I may have killed Hisayori's father...
[17:04] ---
    If so, what will you do?
[17:07] ---
    To begin with, you don't even know
    if that sword really was his father's.
[17:11] ---
    I think that even that's questionable.
[17:14] ---
    So, what do you want to do?
[17:18] ---
    If this is the sword of
    Hisayori's father, I will return it.
[17:21] ---
    Hisayori is a Horror.
[17:23] ---
    There is no meaning in
    returning a memento like that.
[17:27] ---
    He lost his father and
    was surrounded by Horrors.
[17:32] ---
    He had no choice, but to become one himself!
[17:36] ---
    I was the same. Just a bit more and I...
[17:40] ---
    And you call yourself a protector, Raikou?
[17:56] ---
    You won't return it?
[17:57] ---
    Then I will have the sword
    choose its rightful owner!
[18:08] ---
    Who will you choose?
[18:11] ---
    The son, Hisayori. Or the murderer, Raikou?
[18:16] ---
    If the sword really has a will, then...
[18:22] ---
    You better not be thinking
    of letting a sword decide.
[18:28] ---
    I won't allow that, Raikou.
[18:31] ---
    I am the one who decides
    whether you live or die.
[18:37] ---
    I'm the one who controls my life.
[18:43] ---
    The sword wants Raikou's life!
[18:49] ---
    I was once inside that darkness.
[18:54] ---
    That is why I yearn the
    light more than anyone else!
[19:00] ---
    Let me protect that light!
[19:10] ---
    The sword accepted Raikou-sama as its master!
[19:13] ---
    Father... Why?
[19:17] ---
    Shit!
[19:27] ---
    Seimei.
[19:29] ---
    To think you'd order me.
[19:35] ---
    Zaruba.
[20:22] ---
    Father...
[20:42] ---
    That Golden Knight, Raikou.
[20:47] ---
    His real name is Minamotono Yorimitsu.
[20:51] ---
    Yorimitsu?
[20:54] ---
    A cursed child.
[20:58] ---
    Like you.
[21:01] ---
    Oh, this is nice!
[21:07] ---
    That's Katsuragino Chiharu.
[21:09] ---
    Do you get it? Hisayori's father.
[21:11] ---
    A Makai Knight that once owned that sword.
[21:15] ---
    Why did Hisayori have that skull?
[21:19] ---
    That's because Hisayori ate Chiharu.
[21:28] ---
    In order to escape his guilt,
    Hisayori made himself believe
[21:31] ---
    the one who held his sword killed his father.
[21:37] ---
    The sword must have come to your
    possession in order to defeat Hisayori.
[21:42] ---
    You knew, Seimei.
[21:44] ---
    Then why didn't you tell me earlier?
[21:47] ---
    I was worried that I was the
    one who killed Hisayori's father...
[21:51] ---
    He became a Horror and you didn't.
[21:54] ---
    That is the only difference
    between the two of you.
[21:57] ---
    You're the one who said
    you were the same, Raikou.
[22:01] ---
    You'll have to continue hunting
    existences that were just like you.
[22:05] ---
    I wanted to confirm your resolve.
[22:08] ---
    This woman worries for you
    in her own way, as to why...
[22:14] ---
    You talk too much.
[22:17] ---
    What is it, Kintoki?
[22:22] ---
    What?
[22:23] ---
    No, no. It's nothing.
[22:26] ---
    What is it?!
[22:42] ---
    Illusions of darkness
    reflect where there is light

[22:49] ---
    The way of the current world is so fleeting
[22:56] ---
    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

[23:58] ---
    Next Episode: CURSE
[24:02] ---
    Creatures that gather toward the light.
[24:04] ---
    Humans and insects are the same.
[24:07] ---
    Is what they both desire the same?
[24:11] ---
