[00:20] ---
    What a wonderful mansion this is!
[00:24] ---
    My daughter will enter
    the court as an imperial bride.
[00:27] ---
    And I shall become the
    father-in-law of the Heavenly Emperor.
[00:30] ---
    Therefore, the house must be built accordingly.
[00:32] ---
    If the Vice-Minister overhears,
    you will gain more unnecessary resentment.
[00:39] ---
    This is how I am at my most modest.
[00:42] ---
    Please wait.
[00:46] ---
    Haruaki*-sama*!
[00:52] ---
    What business do you have, Haruaki?
[00:55] ---
    I felt an alarming presence
[00:58] ---
    so I dragged this aging body of mine to see you.
[01:02] ---
    What are you saying?
[01:04] ---
    Do you believe something sinister is here?
[01:06] ---
    Yes.
[01:12] ---
    Hey, look.
[01:33] ---
    This is...
[01:35] ---
    A curse.
[01:37] ---
    Someone is cursing Michinaga*-dono*.
[01:41] ---
    If the one who stood there was
    not a dog, but Michinaga*-dono*...
[02:01] ---
    A seal guarded since ancient times
[02:10] ---
    Now it falls and turns to thorns
[02:17] ---
    Remnants of resentment brought to
    life by the darkness of night take breath

[02:25] ---
    What does that pyre desire
    and why does it beckon

[02:35] ---
    The flowers of darkness
    that fear and hate the light

[02:43] ---
    Rakshasa, who dances
    wrapped in a cloak of blood

[02:51] ---
    Release and call back the golden armor
[02:59] ---
    The blade, which can cut
    through inevitable destiny

[03:10] ---
    Night of the crimson moon
[03:13] ---
    GARO: CRIMSON MOON
[03:20] ---
    CURSE
[03:35] ---
    Seimei! Hurry! Please hurry and remove the seal!
[03:41] ---
    Seimei!
[03:46] ---
    What are you doing so early in the morning?!
[03:50] ---
    A dream?
[03:51] ---
    Seimei, are you going to eat before you go?
[03:53] ---
    What kind of sweets do you have?
[03:55] ---
    Persimmons.
[03:58] ---
    Seimei, please do something
    about the seal on my armor.
[04:02] ---
    Why? Did a horror appear?
[04:06] ---
    I am going to cut my ties with you!
[04:08] ---
    Such cold words.
[04:10] ---
    When I picked you up, you didn't
    even know what a Makai Knight was.
[04:14] ---
    Though I taught you
    everything there is to know...
[04:19] ---
    Men are all the same.
[04:21] ---
    Wha!
[04:21] ---
    They take everything away from older women
[04:25] ---
    and step over their body on the way out.
[04:28] ---
    No, I didn't mean it that way.
[04:31] ---
    Those are crocodile tears.
[04:32] ---
    Huh?
[04:34] ---
    Just a bit more and I might
    actually produce some tears...
[04:40] ---
    You're always like this.
[04:42] ---
    Lies! Lies! Lies!
[04:45] ---
    Because of you, I can no
    longer trust the words of women.
[04:49] ---
    Do you even know that many women?
[04:52] ---
    This persimmon is sweet!
[04:55] ---
    Let me go!
[04:57] ---
    Oh, where are you going?
[04:59] ---
    I'm going to go cool my head.
[05:01] ---
    Huh?
[05:02] ---
    The unlawful onmyou user, Seimei.
[05:05] ---
    We are taking you into custody
    for suspicion of cursing activity.
[05:08] ---
    Huh? W-Wait a second!
[05:09] ---
    Attack!
[05:11] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?!
    I'm changing right now!
[05:14] ---
    Where are you touching?!
[05:16] ---
    Pay up if you're going to touch!
[05:18] ---
    Raikou*-sama*!
[05:19] ---
    Did she do something bad enough to
    be captured by the police magistrate?
[05:24] ---
    That is what we are going to investigate.
[05:26] ---
    She's good at lying, so don't be fooled.
[05:28] ---
    Hey! Raikou!
[05:30] ---
    You're going to abandon me?!
    You ungrateful brat!
[05:35] ---
    I assume you are familiar with
    the name Fujiwarano Michinaga?
[05:38] ---
    Someone placed curses on his family.
[05:42] ---
    They found cursed items inside
    the mansion, one after another.
[05:46] ---
    Michinaga's daughter will soon
    enter the court as an imperial bride.
[05:49] ---
    If so, many would be envious of
    the one who controls the Light Palace.
[05:55] ---
    Unlawful onmyou users create curses
    in exchange for money regularly.
[06:03] ---
    That kind of activity is no longer forgivable.
[06:06] ---
    Yes.
[06:06] ---
    It has already been decided,
[06:09] ---
    that onmyou users who've created
    curses will be severely punished.
[06:13] ---
    We will now sweep out all
    the unlawful onmyou users.
[06:17] ---
    And so, any onmyouji that
    are not a part of the Onmyouryo
[06:22] ---
    are to be inspected.
[06:25] ---
    Um, Izumi Shikibu*-san*?
[06:28] ---
    Izumi*-chan* is fine.
[06:30] ---
    Seimei is a Makai Alchemist
    and she's not one of the onmyouji
[06:34] ---
    that protect the Light Palace from disasters.
[06:38] ---
    Oh? You didn't know?
[06:40] ---
    That child was born from an onmyouji family.
[06:42] ---
    Huh?
[06:43] ---
    She is the princess of the Abe family,
[06:45] ---
    who surpasses even the onmyou
    professor Kamono Yasunori.
[06:50] ---
    I have no idea why she
    became a Makai Alchemist,
[06:53] ---
    but I am sure she'll be released quickly.
[06:57] ---
    Shake?
[06:58] ---
    Information fee.
[07:04] ---
    The Light Palace.
[07:06] ---
    A holy place that only nobles and
    officials that run this country may enter...
[07:11] ---
    Yes, they say that Horrors
    cannot enter the palace.
[07:15] ---
    Seimei was born from a place like that?
[07:24] ---
    Michinaga wouldn't fear mere curses.
[07:28] ---
    His true goal is you.
[07:30] ---
    Then allow me to show him that there is no light
[07:34] ---
    that can pierce true darkness.
[07:36] ---
    Did you find him? After him!
[07:38] ---
    Having the conceited Light Palace
    open the gate would be interesting.
[07:45] ---
    Are you Ashiya Douman?
[07:48] ---
    It is as you say.
[07:52] ---
    Hurry up and enter the cells,
    you cheating onmyouji!
[07:55] ---
    Come now! Walk faster!
[07:57] ---
    Brother. Though Michinaga
-sama
    is powerful, he is still an official.
[08:01] ---
    Making a prison in this mansion and
    jailing whomever he desires is too much.
[08:07] ---
    Our master is the head of the Fujiwara family.
[08:10] ---
    No one may go against his decision.
[08:13] ---
    So these are the scum
    who sell curses for money.
[08:22] ---
    That woman...
[08:24] ---
    She was born of high status.
[08:26] ---
    What a waste.
[08:29] ---
    Please save me.
[08:30] ---
    Hey! Get back in line!
[08:31] ---
    This is some kind of mistake!
[08:36] ---
    That Madou Ring is sealed
    away along with your armor.
[08:40] ---
    The only one who can
    unseal it is that little lady.
[08:43] ---
    Can't something be done?
[08:45] ---
    Someone has cursed the Minister of the Left.
[08:48] ---
    Oh, that has nothing to do with us.
[08:51] ---
    Huh? Nothing to do with us?
[08:53] ---
    Curses placed by humans
    are mostly mere trickery.
[08:58] ---
    If they believe themselves to be cursed,
    they feel sick and get prone to disease.
[09:03] ---
    If there are rumors of being hated,
[09:06] ---
    social advancement slips through their fingers.
[09:09] ---
    Makai Knights do not
    interfere with the world of man.
[09:13] ---
    I will call for you if another
    troublesome Horror appears.
[09:19] ---
    Makai Knights are protectors!
[09:21] ---
    I will protect all people!
[09:24] ---
    See you later, Raikou.
[09:25] ---
    Good-bye.
[09:35] ---
    Makai Knight armor uses the power of Makai.
[09:39] ---
    If you wear it for too long,
[09:41] ---
    you will be consumed by
    the armor and turn into a beast.
[09:45] ---
    A lost soul beast.
[09:48] ---
    When I met Seimei, I had lost
    my sanity while wearing the armor.
[09:55] ---
    But, Raikou
-sama
, you weren't going berserk.
[09:59] ---
    Though your form had changed,
    your soul remained intact.
[10:02] ---
    That is why Seimei...
[10:04] ---
    She sealed away the armor, making me hers!
[10:09] ---
    To protect Raikou*-sama*?
[10:11] ---
    No, it can't be.
[10:13] ---
    It can't be helped. Let's go.
[10:15] ---
    To save Seimei?
[10:17] ---
    Yes. What would happen if a
    Horror were to appear right now?
[10:59] ---
    That is...
[11:05] ---
    So you are the new Ashiya Douman.
[11:09] ---
    That is the name I have
    received from my teacher.
[11:12] ---
    So that man accepted you as his successor?
[11:18] ---
    The various curses we found.
    They were your doing, were they not?
[11:23] ---
    I have no memory of them.
[11:25] ---
    No, you made them.
[11:28] ---
    And the one who commissioned you
    was the Vice-Minister Korechika*-kyo*.
[11:35] ---
    Korechika*-kyo* is Michinaga*-dono*'s
    nephew, but he hungers for power.
[11:40] ---
    That is why he had you create those curses.
[11:44] ---
    If I confess such things in public,
[11:47] ---
    Korechika and his bloodline will be executed.
[11:51] ---
    Ashiya Douman.
[11:53] ---
    Though he was once as
    skilled as I as an onmyouji,
[12:00] ---
    people grew to fear his mastery of curses.
[12:05] ---
    There is no mistake.
    The one who carries his name is the culprit.
[12:11] ---
    You captured all the omyou users
    in the capital just to find me.
[12:16] ---
    Good work on that.
[12:20] ---
    What is that terrible smell?
[12:23] ---
    What is that smoke?
[12:25] ---
    I-It stinks.
[12:26] ---
    Hey, what the hell is this smell?
[12:28] ---
    The stench is unbearable!
[12:30] ---
    Shut up! Shut up!
[12:31] ---
    Where is this smoke coming from?
[12:40] ---
    Raikou, you're late!
[12:43] ---
    This is pathetic.
    A Makai Knight doing a prison break!
[12:46] ---
    I'm the pathetic one!
[12:49] ---
    This cow dung stinks!
[12:56] ---
    You cannot pass! Unlawful
    onmyou users, return to your cells!
[13:00] ---
    That's impossible.
[13:01] ---
    I already broke the prison
    door and it really stinks here.
[13:04] ---
    Are you a warrior?
[13:06] ---
    I, Minamotono Yorinobu, will be the opponent
[13:08] ---
    of all who go against Michinaga*-sama*!
[13:11] ---
    Yorinobu?
[13:12] ---
    Please save me, Yorinobu*-sama*!
[13:15] ---
    This man suddenly attacked the jail!
[13:17] ---
    What?!
[13:18] ---
    I am sure he is aiming
    for my body, Yorinobu*-sama*.
[13:23] ---
    It is as you say...
[13:24] ---
    What are you saying?
[13:25] ---
    Hey, Seimei.
[13:28] ---
    You face oozes with indecency.
[13:32] ---
    I won't let you escape!
[13:37] ---
    Seimei!
[13:42] ---
    Douman! Michinaga!
[13:44] ---
    Well, well.
[13:46] ---
    So you were captured as well.
[13:48] ---
    What are you doing here, Kiyome?!
[13:51] ---
    Do not call me by that name, Abeno Haruaki.
[13:55] ---
    It's a reunion between
    grandfather and granddaughter.
[13:58] ---
    There is no reason to fight.
[14:01] ---
    What will you do with Ashiya Douman?
[14:05] ---
    It has nothing to do with you!
[14:07] ---
    This man placed the curses on me.
[14:10] ---
    He just confessed who commissioned the curses.
[14:14] ---
    Someone who inherited Ashiya Douman's name
[14:16] ---
    would do something that stupid?
[14:18] ---
    Do you really think I would?
[14:25] ---
    Douman!
[14:36] ---
    Huh?
[14:39] ---
    Seimei, isn't that the one named Douman?
[14:46] ---
    Darkness.
[14:48] ---
    This is the gate of
    darkness that I searched for!
[14:53] ---
    Darkness, huh?
[14:54] ---
    Listen.
[14:56] ---
    These cursed items are things
    that Michinaga commissioned.
[15:00] ---
    Such nonsense!
[15:01] ---
    Those are curses against
    the Minister of the Left!
[15:05] ---
    I saw a dog die in his place with my own eyes!
[15:08] ---
    He set poison in the garden ahead of time.
[15:11] ---
    He pretended to be cursed,
[15:14] ---
    in order to blame and execute
    the Vice-Minister and his family.
[15:19] ---
    That was his goal.
[15:21] ---
    These pieces of junk contain no power.
[15:25] ---
    However, these items are imbued with negativity.
[15:30] ---
    The ambition to destroy his political enemies.
[15:33] ---
    The cruelty to stop at nothing for that sake.
[15:36] ---
    And the desire to stand
    at the top of this world.
[15:41] ---
    That negativity will open this gate!
[15:43] ---
    What?!
[15:45] ---
    A gate that connects Makai and this world.
[15:47] ---
    Horrors use those gates to appear in our world.
[15:51] ---
    I am one who opens such gates.
[15:57] ---
    I see. You let yourself be
    captured for this purpose, Douman!
[16:04] ---
    Horrors, follow the path of resentment
    and come to consume humans!
[16:42] ---
    Evil spirits!
[16:43] ---
    Those are Horrors, creatures from the darkness.
[16:47] ---
    I see.
[16:48] ---
    The onmyouji believe they protect
    the area around the Light Palace,
[16:54] ---
    but gates can be opened anywhere.
[16:57] ---
    Stop, Raikou. We're vastly outnumbered.
[17:00] ---
    We need to focus on catching Douman.
[17:02] ---
    I want to protect the people!
[17:40] ---
    S-Seimei, hurry and release
    the seal on Raikou*-sama*.
[17:47] ---
    Seimei!
[17:55] ---
    Shine light upon Raikou!
[18:12] ---
    Golden armor?
[19:12] ---
    Raikou, you know that there
    will never be an end to Horrors.
[19:17] ---
    I am a Makai Knight.
[19:21] ---
    I will destroy all Horrors.
[19:27] ---
    If you can't stand that,
    release me from this cursed seal!
[20:03] ---
    He did it!
[20:30] ---
    I will overlook the fact you
    destroyed the prison today.
[20:35] ---
    Yes, and I'll overlook the fact
    that your fake curse incident
[20:39] ---
    involved me and many innocent people.
[20:43] ---
    Oh, this.
[20:45] ---
    Hold on to that.
[20:47] ---
    I couldn't do anything for you
    when you left the house so young.
[20:54] ---
    So, at the very least...
[20:57] ---
    You may have become a Makai Alchemist,
[21:00] ---
    but never forget you are from
    the Abe family of onmyouji, Kiyome.
[21:10] ---
    Kiyome, huh?
[21:11] ---
    Don't call me by that name.
[21:14] ---
    Why did you leave the Abe family?
[21:17] ---
    Various things were really stifling.
[21:20] ---
    You're lying.
[21:22] ---
    You really don't understand women, do you?
[21:26] ---
    Stupid! Quit it!
[21:27] ---
    More importantly, please remove
    the seal you placed on me!
[21:30] ---
    No way.
[21:31] ---
    So instead, I will never
    disappear from your side.
[21:44] ---
    Stay away, Yorimitsu!
[21:50] ---
    How are you doing, Father?
[22:02] ---
    Yorinobu.
[22:06] ---
    It's nothing. Just a dream.
[22:12] ---
    Father.
[22:15] ---
    The Golden Armor should be something
    passed down the Minamoto family.
[22:21] ---
    Why does a man like that possess it?
[22:26] ---
    Father!
[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

[23:09] ---
    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)
[23:22] ---
    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

[23:40] ---
    Dance and bloom proudly,
    these lights that call each other

[23:47] ---
    Will overlap and shine again
[23:51] ---
    These crimson flowers
    of oath that drift to and fro

[23:58] ---
    Next Episode: KAGUYA
[24:03] ---
    Long, long ago.
[24:04] ---
    There was a man called Taketorino Okina...
[24:08] ---
    No. No. This isn't such a story.
[24:11] ---
