[00:39] ---
    A young man will soon die!
[00:43] ---
    His death will be the start of it all!
[00:47] ---
    The world will turn to stone,
    and down it shall fall!
[00:52] ---
    What should we do?
[00:53] ---
    T-Tell us, Madame Roxane!
[00:56] ---
    Prepare me a great box!
[00:59] ---
    Set it afloat upon the water!
[01:02] ---
    And then...
[01:04] ---
    ...set eleven hares running!
[01:27] ---
    It seemed like it had been decided long before
[01:33] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:39] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[01:45] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison

[01:51] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin

[01:56] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[02:02] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear

[02:08] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[02:13] ---
    Like joining a little chance with inevitability
[02:19] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:31] ---
    Continuing on forever
[02:53] ---
    A small country in Europe bordered
    by France, Switzerland, and Italy:
[02:58] ---
    The Kingdom of Saubure.
[03:00] ---
    At the base of the Alps
    sits Saint Marguerite Academy.
[03:06] ---
    It's an educational institute
    for the children of noble families,
[03:08] ---
    Spring, 1924
[03:09] ---
    and it's renowned across the world.
[03:14] ---
    I'm a student here.
[03:16] ---
    My name is...
[03:18] ---
    ...the Black Reaper!
[03:25] ---
    Yeah. The Black Reaper.
[03:31] ---
    Look! Those black eyes,
    which seem to draw in darkness...
[03:36] ---
    I bet he's pitch black inside, too!
[03:40] ---
    It's easy to get around, at least.
[03:42] ---
    Kazuya
[03:44] ---
    "Kazuya, how is your life abroad?"
[03:48] ---
    "Following the end of the Great War,
[03:51] ---
    in acknowledgment of your excellent grades,
    you were accepted as a transfer student
[03:56] ---
    by our ally, Saubure.
[03:59] ---
    For that, Father and the rest of
    our family are deeply proud of you."
[04:04] ---
    "Kazuya, grow into a proper man
    and return to us as soon as possible.
[04:09] ---
    Be successful in life,
[04:11] ---
    and become the kind of man
    who can work for his country.
[04:14] ---
    Your eldest brother."
[04:18] ---
    I think you should read ghost stories!
[04:24] ---
    This school...
[04:25] ---
    No, this country is full of ghost stories!
[04:29] ---
    Enough that the government
    has a Department of the Occult!
[04:32] ---
    Everyone just loves ghost stories!
[04:36] ---
    Is the Black Reaper one
    of those, Ms. Cécile?
[04:39] ---
    Yes! It's more correctly called
    The Reaper Who Comes in Spring!
[04:42] ---
    They added the "Black"
    out of respect for you, Mr. Kujo!
[04:47] ---
    You call that respect?
[04:49] ---
    Having something to talk about
    will help you make lots of friends!
[04:53] ---
    Make a hundred friends, and then...
[04:57] ---
    ...climb the Alps together, Mr. Kujo!
[05:00] ---
    Right...
[05:01] ---
    Episode 1
    The Black Reaper Finds the Golden Fairy
[05:05] ---
    Something to talk about?
[05:08] ---
    Ghost stories, huh?
[05:12] ---
    What's this?
[05:14] ---
    "The Queen Berry, a ghost ship
    that appears on stormy nights..."
[05:19] ---
    "Leviathan, the alchemist who pulls
    gold from the guts of the dead..."
[05:24] ---
    These are all pretty gruesome.
[05:27] ---
    "The genius Gray Wolf that
    speaks human language..."
[05:32] ---
    A talking wolf, huh?
[05:34] ---
    This should be enough to make some friends.
[05:39] ---
    What's this?
[05:46] ---
    Golden...
[06:34] ---
    A... doll?
[06:38] ---
    You finally came.
[06:41] ---
    It took you long enough,
    Reaper Who Comes in Spring.
[06:45] ---
    H-How do you know me?
[06:48] ---
    A future that rises from a silver vase
    is reflected in a magic mirror.
[06:54] ---
    My predictions tell me
    that you will come here again.
[06:59] ---
    Around the time the noon bell rings tomorrow.
[07:02] ---
    W-Wait a minute. How...?
[07:06] ---
    You have been chosen...
[07:09] ---
    ...as one of the fragments
    that relieves my boredom.
[07:18] ---
    That doll--!
[07:19] ---
    That doll predicted my future!
[07:28] ---
    It was like a bizarre dream.
[07:30] ---
    A conservatory on top of the library...
[07:34] ---
    A mysterious girl who
    spoke mysterious words...
[07:38] ---
    Oh, you mean Victorique!
[07:42] ---
    Wow! You managed to make a friend already?
[07:45] ---
    She's your classmate, Mr. Kujo!
[07:49] ---
    You know how there's always
    an empty seat in class?
[07:52] ---
    Oh, that's perfect!
[07:54] ---
    Kujo, you can take these print-outs to her!
[07:58] ---
    Okay, bye now!
[08:00] ---
    Wait a minute!
[08:06] ---
    Around the time the noon bell rings...
[08:25] ---
    You finally came.
[08:27] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?
[08:29] ---
    You arrived later than I was expecting.
[08:32] ---
    I was starting to get bored.
[08:35] ---
    Are you a fortune-teller?
[08:37] ---
    Why do you ask?
[08:38] ---
    You seemed to know I would come here.
[08:41] ---
    My wellspring of wisdom told me.
[08:44] ---
    Wellspring of wisdom?
[08:46] ---
    This spring, a student with black
    hair started hanging around.
[08:50] ---
    I bet your unusual, sinister appearance
[08:52] ---
    invoked the school legend of
    The Reaper Who Comes in Spring to them.
[08:57] ---
    Sinister appearance?!
[08:59] ---
    What is your name?
[09:01] ---
    Kujo. Kazuya Kujo.
[09:03] ---
    And Kujo...
[09:04] ---
    A student as earnest,
    bullheaded, and bright as you
[09:08] ---
    would surely come here to
    investigate the term's origins.
[09:12] ---
    I get the idea...
    but it's a little unsatisfying.
[09:18] ---
    Weird. She seems different today...
[09:23] ---
    And...
[09:25] ---
    Hey, you rolled around so much,
    your necklace is backwards.
[09:29] ---
    Don't touch it!
[09:34] ---
    This is...
[09:36] ---
    ...important to me.
[09:38] ---
    Very...
[09:40] ---
    Very...
[09:56] ---
    That's...
[09:59] ---
    ...a very distinctive hairstyle!
[10:03] ---
    Grévil?
[10:04] ---
    You know him?
[10:06] ---
    Oh, how fine the weather is today!
[10:11] ---
    And I see I have a little
    black squirrel here with me.
[10:14] ---
    Do allow me to recite a long poem
    to the little squirrel!
[10:20] ---
    Last night, in a mansion in a town,
[10:22] ---
    an old fortune-teller
    named Roxane was murdered.
[10:27] ---
    Where did that come from?
[10:29] ---
    She lived in the mansion with an
    Indian manservant and an Arabian maid.
[10:34] ---
    The murder took place last night
    when her granddaughter came to visit.
[10:39] ---
    Why is the manservant Indian
    and the maid Arabian?
[10:43] ---
    The fortune-teller loved exotic servants,
[10:46] ---
    and could speak conversational
    Hindu and Arabic.
[10:49] ---
    Oh, and it seems the maid speaks only Arabic!
[10:54] ---
    Um...
[10:55] ---
    Is this man a detective or something?
[10:58] ---
    Inspector Grévil de Blois.
[11:01] ---
    He's rather well-known in Saubure,
    and possesses a curious hairstyle.
[11:06] ---
    Just before the murder,
    the fortune-teller was relaxing in her room.
[11:12] ---
    The manservant was below the window,
[11:14] ---
    returning the hares in
    the garden to their hutch.
[11:18] ---
    Hares?
[11:20] ---
    The fortune-teller kept a number of hares.
[11:23] ---
    From time to time, it seems she'd
    have hunting dogs kill them.
[11:28] ---
    Now, back to the story,
    my innocent little squirrel.
[11:31] ---
    Um... are you using me to talk to her?
[11:35] ---
    That night, a gunshot rang out.
[11:37] ---
    The others gathered in the hallway in shock.
[11:41] ---
    The door was locked.
[11:44] ---
    The maid called out to her,
    but received no response.
[11:47] ---
    The manservant wanted
    to break down the door,
[11:50] ---
    but the granddaughter was against it.
[11:52] ---
    She would inherit the house after her
    grandmother's death, so she wanted it intact.
[11:57] ---
    What a truly blasphemous reason.
[11:59] ---
    But the maid couldn't understand
    the granddaughter's words,
[12:03] ---
    so she got a pistol used for self-defense
    from the next room, and...
[12:09] ---
    The door opened. And beyond it lay...
[12:16] ---
    ...the fortune-teller, her left eye shot out.
[12:19] ---
    The door was locked from the inside,
    and they couldn't find the murder weapon.
[12:23] ---
    Now, my little squirrel!
[12:25] ---
    What answer do you see?
[12:28] ---
    Why are you asking me?
[12:33] ---
    Oh, is that it?
[12:36] ---
    The fragments of chaos are all in place.
[12:40] ---
    Let me reconstruct it.
[12:44] ---
    Really, the weather is so nice here!
[12:49] ---
    What do you mean, "reconstruct"?
[12:52] ---
    I have taken fragments
    from the chaos of this world.
[12:56] ---
    Using the wellspring of wisdom
    that lies within me,
[12:59] ---
    I shall reconstruct them into the truth.
[13:09] ---
    You mean you're going to solve the case?
[13:11] ---
    Hmph!
[13:12] ---
    I've already identified the culprit, of course.
[13:15] ---
    I'm suspicious of the manservant--
[13:18] ---
    The maid is the murderer, Grévil.
[13:24] ---
    What?! What does that mean?!
[13:26] ---
    How should I know?!
[13:28] ---
    Only the fortune-teller could
    understand the maid's Arabic.
[13:33] ---
    The maid knocked on the door
    and cried out in Arabic.
[13:36] ---
    When there was no response,
    she got the pistol from the next room
[13:39] ---
    and shot off the lock.
[13:40] ---
    Isn't that right?
[13:43] ---
    What did the maid actually say to her?
[13:47] ---
    It must have been...
[13:48] ---
    "Someone's trying to kill you, mistress.
[13:51] ---
    Didn't you hear the gunshot?
[13:53] ---
    Leave the window
    and come toward the door."
[13:58] ---
    In other words,
[13:59] ---
    the maid knew that the
    fortune-teller was still alive.
[14:03] ---
    She called out in Arabic
    to trick the fortune-teller
[14:06] ---
    into approaching the door,
    seeking safety.
[14:09] ---
    Then she shot the lock...
[14:11] ---
    ...and the fortune-teller with it.
[14:14] ---
    The fortune-teller's
    left eye was shot out
[14:16] ---
    because she was probably trying
    to look through the keyhole.
[14:24] ---
    Wait a minute!
[14:25] ---
    Then when and where was the first shot
    fired... my little squirrel?
[14:30] ---
    Mr. Inspector, my name is
    not "squirrel"! It's Kazuya Kujo!
[14:34] ---
    The first shot was likely
    fired in the next room over.
[14:37] ---
    To frighten the fortune-teller
[14:39] ---
    and gather the people in
    the mansion into one place.
[14:42] ---
    Investigate it if you wish.
[14:43] ---
    You'll probably find another bullet hole.
[14:47] ---
    I see.
[14:49] ---
    Well, I should get back to the office.
[14:52] ---
    It's so nice to get some fresh air.
[14:54] ---
    As for the culprit's motive...
[14:59] ---
    ...it's probably hidden in
    whatever she shot first.
[15:04] ---
    What does that mean?
[15:09] ---
    He's gone.
[15:13] ---
    It was over so quickly...
[15:15] ---
    Now I'm bored again...
[15:20] ---
    Hey... Just who are you?
[15:23] ---
    That inspector seemed to rely on you.
[15:26] ---
    Or did he?
[15:28] ---
    But he seemed concerned about you, at least.
[15:31] ---
    If you want to know more about me...
[15:34] ---
    Yes?
[15:37] ---
    ...dance.
[15:39] ---
    Why should I dance?
[15:44] ---
    Why?
[15:48] ---
    Okay.
[15:54] ---
    What kind of dance is that?
[15:58] ---
    A bon dance.
[16:03] ---
    I danced for her three times yesterday...
[16:06] ---
    ...but she still wouldn't tell me anything.
[16:08] ---
    Victorique is so mean.
[16:12] ---
    Mr. Kujo!
[16:13] ---
    Are you eating?
[16:17] ---
    Wh-What's wrong?
[16:20] ---
    "Another great achievement
    for Inspector Blois"?
[16:23] ---
    "Brilliantly solves the murder
    of fortune-teller Roxane"?!
[16:29] ---
    What's going on here?!
[16:31] ---
    Who are you?
[16:32] ---
    The granddaughter was so grateful,
    she gave you a kiss and a yacht!
[16:36] ---
    Oh, that?
[16:38] ---
    It's not like I asked for the kiss.
[16:40] ---
    She did that against my will.
[16:42] ---
    It's not the kiss!
[16:44] ---
    It's the family's gratitude
    and your luxury yacht!
[16:46] ---
    You didn't earn any of that!
[16:48] ---
    They belong to--
[16:59] ---
    I get it, I get it!
[17:01] ---
    Your passion wins this round.
[17:05] ---
    I had plans to take the yacht out
    this weekend. You two can come along.
[17:09] ---
    We certainly will!
[17:11] ---
    Easy for you to say...
[17:13] ---
    She... Victorique won't be allowed outside
    without a lot of work on my part.
[17:20] ---
    Victorique's not allowed outside?
[17:23] ---
    Oh, never mind.
[17:25] ---
    Well, see you this weekend.
[17:27] ---
    So you made arrangements with Grévil?
[17:29] ---
    Yeah!
[17:31] ---
    Stealing your credit like that...
    I can't allow such injustice!
[17:35] ---
    Anyway, you start with a small victory...
[17:38] ---
    Kujo...
[17:39] ---
    Weekends are precious.
[17:41] ---
    You'll be spending yours with Grévil.
[17:43] ---
    Would you enjoy that?
[17:45] ---
    Of course not.
[17:47] ---
    Just walking around with a guy whose
    hair is like that would be embarrassing.
[17:53] ---
    How did things end up like this again?
[17:55] ---
    I was curious about that myself.
[17:59] ---
    But... yes, I see...
[18:03] ---
    Does that mean I could escape this prison?
[18:09] ---
    I'll prepare for the journey.
[18:11] ---
    Huh? Right now?
[18:13] ---
    But it's still a few days
    until the weekend.
[18:16] ---
    I mean, seriously...
[18:19] ---
    Wait!
[18:21] ---
    You can't go in there!
[18:23] ---
    This elevator is reserved
    for the staff and myself.
[18:27] ---
    You can suffer your way
[18:29] ---
    all the way down the endless stairs,
    feeling your thighs turn into noodles.
[18:40] ---
    Victorique!
[18:50] ---
    So...
[18:51] ---
    ...why do you need all this
    for a one-night stay on a yacht?
[18:55] ---
    I mustered all of my significant
    intelligence and decided
[19:00] ---
    this was the minimal amount
    I would need for a trip.
[19:04] ---
    Can you even carry all of this?
[19:06] ---
    You'll be carrying it, Kujo.
[19:11] ---
    Hey...
[19:12] ---
    Don't root through my--
[19:13] ---
    A compass?
[19:15] ---
    The yacht will have one of these.
[19:17] ---
    You won't need a life jacket.
[19:19] ---
    You only need one change of clothes.
[19:22] ---
    Why do you have a dinner set?
[19:24] ---
    Is this candy?
[19:25] ---
    A chair?
[19:27] ---
    Are you a refugee?
[19:29] ---
    I told you, I need it!
[19:36] ---
    How long are you going to keep pouting?
[19:39] ---
    It had to be done.
[19:48] ---
    It's like she's never
    been on a train before.
[19:54] ---
    Watching her like this,
    she really is like a doll...
[20:03] ---
    What are you doing?
[20:05] ---
    Oh, um... It's something
    we do for fun in Japan.
[20:26] ---
    What's that?
[20:28] ---
    An ice cream cart.
[20:30] ---
    What's that?
[20:31] ---
    A newspaper stand.
[20:33] ---
    Hey, we should get going.
[20:42] ---
    Go on, get in.
[20:43] ---
    Was that magic? Or is he your servant?
[20:47] ---
    Hey, Victorique,
    do you not get out very often?
[20:53] ---
    Hey, pally!
[20:57] ---
    Um, that outfit...
[20:59] ---
    Great, isn't it?
[21:00] ---
    The theme is "man of the sea."
[21:03] ---
    Yes, yes. About that case...
[21:06] ---
    The first shot in the room next door...
[21:09] ---
    It was fired into...
[21:11] ---
    ...a mirror.
[21:12] ---
    A mirror?
[21:14] ---
    I see. The magic mirror?
[21:17] ---
    And your suspect, the Arabian maid...
[21:22] ---
    ...she was beautiful!
[21:26] ---
    Ahem...
[21:28] ---
    The maid's explanation of her motive
    was curious indeed.
[21:31] ---
    It was revenge for the box.
[21:35] ---
    Revenge for the box?
[21:40] ---
    Inspector!
[21:41] ---
    Inspector! Awful news!
[21:44] ---
    The Arabian maid has escaped!
[21:47] ---
    R-Really?!
[21:49] ---
    Hey, Kujo!
[21:51] ---
    I have to go!
[21:53] ---
    You can get on the yacht,
    but don't try to take it out!
[21:56] ---
    Huh? But that's no fun--
[21:58] ---
    Deal with it!
[22:00] ---
    Later!
[22:02] ---
    Hey...
[22:04] ---
    After we came all this way...
[22:06] ---
    Right, Victorique?
[22:09] ---
    Victorique?
[22:12] ---
    Hey!
[22:14] ---
    Victorique!
[22:19] ---
    There she is.
[22:21] ---
    Hey...
[22:23] ---
    This yacht belonged to the
    fortune-teller, Roxane, didn't it?
[22:26] ---
    Yeah.
[22:28] ---
    It looks like an invitation.
[22:30] ---
    It's addressed to Roxane.
[22:33] ---
    Read it.
[22:35] ---
    Sure...
[22:37] ---
    Let's see.
[22:38] ---
    "Please join us for dinner on the luxury
    liner moored on the coast nearby.
[22:42] ---
    It will be a box garden evening."
