[00:01] ---
    A miserable fate, wallowing in petty evil.
[00:04] ---
    Is it a dream or reality?
[00:06] ---
    Light or darkness?
[00:08] ---
    The divine words come to mind,
    then disappear.

[00:11] ---
    But during that time, it flickers.
[00:13] ---
    This evening's entertainment
    speaks to such tidings.

[00:16] ---
    It's about an unresolvable grudge
    that is yet satisfied.

[01:50] ---
    PUB BONES
[01:52] ---
    Here, Eyeball! The oden's ready! Eat!
[01:55] ---
    These are just little wieners!
[01:58] ---
    That's what oden is, right?
[01:59] ---
    It's different kinds of fish cakes.
[02:01] ---
    It's wieners, you wiener!
[02:03] ---
    Kikuri, not everything is decided
    by your own judgment.
[02:07] ---
    Move. I'll do it.
[02:10] ---
    Huh?
[02:11] ---
    There are only wieners in the pot!
[02:14] ---
    What happened to the other ingredients?
[02:16] ---
    I threw them away!
[02:17] ---
    You threw them away?
[02:18] ---
    You idiot! What are you doing?
[02:21] ---
    Shut up, Bones!
[02:22] ---
    Hey, Ren Ichimoku...
[02:24] ---
    You have oden soup on your sleeve.
[02:28] ---
    Oh hell!
[02:29] ---
    Damn you, Kikuri!
[02:30] ---
    It's your own fault for being careless!
[02:32] ---
    You little wench,
    how about I make oden out of you?
[02:34] ---
    Ren Ichimoku, take it off.
    It'll stain if you just leave it.
[02:38] ---
    I'll get it out for you.
[02:39] ---
    Dammit! Jeez!
[02:42] ---
    But consider yourself lucky.
[02:44] ---
    If Wanyuudou hadn't pointed it out,
    you never would've gotten the stain out.
[02:47] ---
    That's true.
[02:49] ---
    I was at the point of no return.
[02:53] ---
    Point of no return, huh?
[02:57] ---
    That's what I should've told him then.
[02:59] ---
    Perhaps,
[03:00] ---
    things would've turned out differently.
[03:00] ---
    Hanagasa
[03:28] ---
    - That's a pro scout, right?
    - Yeah.
[03:32] ---
    A different guy from the last time.
[03:35] ---
    He's a high school star pitcher
    who's drawing attention from all the pros.
[03:40] ---
    All things considered...
[03:44] ---
    ...I envy him.
[03:52] ---
    THE TARNISHED MOUND
[04:04] ---
    M-Muroi!
[04:05] ---
    A-Are you okay?
[04:07] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[04:12] ---
    You guys went to the same
    middle school, didn't you?
[04:16] ---
    Yes.
[04:17] ---
    Then you know where Muroi lives, right?
[04:20] ---
    Take him home.
[04:22] ---
    B-But...
[04:24] ---
    Please, Iwashita.
[04:27] ---
    O-Okay.
[04:30] ---
    I think you already know this,
[04:32] ---
    but he fell from the embankment
    while you two were messing around.
[04:35] ---
    What the hell is that?
[04:37] ---
    - Right.
    - Hey!
[04:39] ---
    Please, Iwashita! I'm asking a favor.
[04:45] ---
    Then I'll leave you to it.
[04:55] ---
    I'm sorry, Iwashita.
[04:57] ---
    It's fine with me,
[04:58] ---
    but shouldn't you tell the coach the truth?
[05:02] ---
    What good would that do?
[05:04] ---
    If this goes public, the team won't be
    allowed to play in the tournament.
[05:09] ---
    Everyone wants to play
    in the tournament, me included.
[05:13] ---
    And win our way
    to the national tournament!
[05:17] ---
    I hate to say it,
    but I guess we need him for that.
[05:21] ---
    That's right.
[05:22] ---
    Well, as long as I can suck it up,
    we're past it already.
[05:26] ---
    But why did he hit you?
[05:29] ---
    I don't know.
[05:30] ---
    Maybe he's just stressed out
    from all the attention.
[05:35] ---
    I'm disappointed.
[05:37] ---
    "High school star pitcher," my ass.
[05:40] ---
    Okay, okay.
[05:43] ---
    MUROI
[05:46] ---
    - Ow...
    - Oh dear...
[05:48] ---
    What happened?
[05:50] ---
    He was pushed off the embankment?
[05:52] ---
    We were messing around,
    and I pushed him without thinking.
[05:55] ---
    That's too much messing around.
    Be more careful from now on.
[05:59] ---
    I'm very sorry!
[06:07] ---
    That was the last time I saw Muroi.
[06:10] ---
    He didn't come to school
    for the next three days.

[06:15] ---
    And on the morning of the following day...
[06:18] ---
    I have a sad announcement for everyone.
[06:21] ---
    First-year student Muroi
    from Class C has passed away.
[06:26] ---
    I heard an internal organ ruptured!
[06:28] ---
    What did he do?
[06:30] ---
    Someone probably hit him!
[06:33] ---
    Talk to me about what?
[06:35] ---
    Don't give me that!
[06:37] ---
    Muroi died!
[06:39] ---
    That's what I hear.
[06:41] ---
    It's your fault!
[06:45] ---
    You say it's my fault?
[06:46] ---
    Do you have any proof?
[06:48] ---
    P-Proof?
[06:51] ---
    Well...
[06:53] ---
    Of course not.
[06:54] ---
    If I were you,
    I'd worry more about myself.
[06:58] ---
    Wha... A-Are you serious?
[07:08] ---
    Iwashita!
[07:10] ---
    Coach!
[07:11] ---
    These gentlemen are detectives.
[07:13] ---
    They have questions for you
    about Muroi's death.
[07:16] ---
    CONDOLENCES
[07:16] ---
    I-I... Um...
[07:19] ---
    We were told you pushed him
    off the embankment, is that true?
[07:23] ---
    You see, according to the autopsy report,
[07:25] ---
    only something like a bat
    could've caused that damage.
[07:30] ---
    Well...
[07:31] ---
    Is it true, Iwashita?
[07:33] ---
    What'd you do?
[07:34] ---
    If it's true, we can forget
    about the tournament!
[07:36] ---
    I-It's not true! I...
[07:40] ---
    Murderer!
[07:42] ---
    It's your fault!
[07:43] ---
    It's your fault that Shinichi...
[07:45] ---
    Do you know how much Shinichi suffered?
[07:49] ---
    He was crying out, "It hurts! It hurts!"
    right up until he died!
[07:57] ---
    He was writhing in pain in bed!
[08:00] ---
    And even so, that boy said it wasn't
    your fault! He said it wasn't your fault!
[08:05] ---
    - Why?
    - It's because...
[08:08] ---
    Give him back to me!
[08:09] ---
    Give me back my Shinichi!
[08:12] ---
    Sis, calm down!
[08:14] ---
    - Give him back to me!
    - It's because... It's because...
[08:19] ---
    Him...
[08:25] ---
    Muroi...
[08:26] ---
    I promise you.
[08:28] ---
    If I turn pro,
    I'll do my best for both of us!
[08:34] ---
    He really is a star!
[08:36] ---
    Yeah, that kid's a class act.
[08:40] ---
    Hanagasa!
[08:42] ---
    You bastard!
[08:45] ---
    Dad?
[08:46] ---
    Listen to me!
    Everyone mistakenly thinks I did it!
[08:49] ---
    You bastard!
[08:54] ---
    I-I don't know what to say.
    I know what he did was unforgivable.
[08:59] ---
    From the baseball team
[08:59] ---
    But somehow...
[09:01] ---
    Please...
[09:02] ---
    Get out! Get away from here!
[09:04] ---
    Relatives
[09:05] ---
    We're leaving!
[09:06] ---
    We're leaving right now,
[09:08] ---
    but we'll come back another day
    to make amends.
[09:12] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[09:16] ---
    "Amends." It's not going to be cheap.
[09:19] ---
    Tens of millions of yen...
    No, hundreds of millions?
[09:21] ---
    B-But that...
[09:24] ---
    What should I do?
[09:26] ---
    But please!
[09:29] ---
    Please believe me!
[09:32] ---
    It wasn't me!
[09:37] ---
    At any rate, let's discuss this
    somewhere else.
[09:44] ---
    Get back here, Iwashita!
[09:59] ---
    Muroi
[10:06] ---
    GO FOR IT!!
    NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
[10:15] ---
    The score will be settled.
[10:15] ---
    HELL CORRESPONDENCE
[10:20] ---
    Send
[10:20] ---
    The score will be settled.
[10:22] ---
    The rumor's true then!
[10:25] ---
    Send
[10:25] ---
    The score will be settled.
[10:30] ---
    Mamoru Hanagasa
[10:36] ---
    Send
[10:39] ---
    Send
[11:08] ---
    You don't want to go?
[11:10] ---
    It's all right...
[11:13] ---
    Grandma.
[11:15] ---
    There's no choice, right?
[11:17] ---
    You have to go.
[11:19] ---
    We don't call the shots.
[11:28] ---
    H-How long have you been there?
[11:31] ---
    You called me, didn't you?
[11:33] ---
    I'm Ai Enma.
[11:35] ---
    Hell Girl?
[11:36] ---
    Is it really you?
[11:41] ---
    Take this.
[11:42] ---
    O-Okay.
[11:46] ---
    If you really want revenge,
[11:50] ---
    untie that red string.
[11:54] ---
    By untying it, you and I
    will officially have a contract.
[11:59] ---
    The person you have a grudge against
    will be dispatched to Hell promptly.
[12:03] ---
    R-Right.
[12:05] ---
    But once that vengeance is carried out,
[12:08] ---
    you will also pay a price.
[12:12] ---
    Cursing someone is a double-edged sword.
[12:15] ---
    If you form this contract,
    your soul will also go to Hell.
[12:20] ---
    Although that's after you die.
[12:29] ---
    No.
[12:31] ---
    But...
[12:37] ---
    Even so...
[12:38] ---
    Huh?
[12:40] ---
    Wh-Where did she go?
[12:42] ---
    A dream?
[12:46] ---
    The rest is up to you.
[12:51] ---
    HELL GIRL
[12:53] ---
    I feel so bad for you, Hanagasa.
[12:56] ---
    I was so looking forward to seeing you
    play at the tournament!
[13:00] ---
    Right.
[13:03] ---
    Hey, don't stand
    all the way over there! Come here!
[13:08] ---
    What? That girl...
[13:11] ---
    What?
[13:13] ---
    Oh, never mind.
[13:24] ---
    Well, I'm here!
[13:26] ---
    Come out!
[13:32] ---
    Hanagasa-senpai...
[13:36] ---
    Please. Will you take responsibility
    for what you did?
[13:42] ---
    It's too much for me to bear.
[13:45] ---
    And did you really think
    I would agree to that?
[13:49] ---
    If you won't...
[13:51] ---
    If you refuse...
[13:52] ---
    I have an alternate plan!
[13:55] ---
    Like telling everyone the truth?
[13:57] ---
    You already tried that last night, right?
[13:59] ---
    Although...
[14:01] ---
    it seems nobody believed you.
[14:04] ---
    Hanagasa-senpai, hasn't Muroi's death
    affected you in the slightest?
[14:08] ---
    I think it's unfortunate.
[14:10] ---
    But I never figured he'd die from that.
    He was too weak.
[14:14] ---
    He was never cut out for baseball.
[14:17] ---
    How dare you?
[14:18] ---
    Whoa!
[14:19] ---
    You can hit me,
    but it would look bad for your case.
[14:25] ---
    And don't think
    you can get away with injuring me.
[14:29] ---
    If you broke my pitching arm,
    it'd cost you an arm and a leg.
[14:32] ---
    With that settlement with Muroi's family,
    your parents would go bankrupt.
[14:36] ---
    Wh-What am I supposed to do?
[14:39] ---
    I don't know, and I don't care.
[14:43] ---
    Don't look at me like that.
[14:45] ---
    Actually, I'm grateful to you and Muroi.
[14:48] ---
    Thanks to you guys,
    I don't have to play in the tournament.
[14:52] ---
    Maybe the other players
    wanted to make lasting memories,
[14:56] ---
    but it wasn't worth
    wearing my shoulder down.
[15:00] ---
    The scouts also told me
    I shouldn't play in it if possible.
[15:04] ---
    B-Bastard...
    Don't tell me you did it on purpose!
[15:06] ---
    If it was on purpose,
    what are you going to do about it?
[15:11] ---
    Are we done here?
[15:14] ---
    Muroi...
[15:16] ---
    Muroi...
[15:17] ---
    was in such pain.
[15:19] ---
    He suffered so much.
[15:20] ---
    Is that right?
[15:22] ---
    You know it!
[15:23] ---
    Well, I wasn't there to see it.
[15:30] ---
    All right then? Think we're done here.
[15:33] ---
    See ya!
[15:36] ---
    But you should probably
    turn yourself in to the police soon.
[15:39] ---
    Otherwise, it'd look bad for you
    during the trial.
[15:55] ---
    Vengeance is granted.
[16:02] ---
    Ai...
[16:04] ---
    I'll leave your under-kimono here.
[16:09] ---
    Thank you, Grandma.
[16:44] ---
    I'm gonna nominate you
    as the first-choice draft pick.
[16:48] ---
    Your contract will be worth
    hundreds of millions.
[16:50] ---
    Thank you, I appreciate it.
[16:52] ---
    See you soon.
[16:59] ---
    All right!
[17:07] ---
    Hanagasa! Hanagasa! Hanagasa!
[17:17] ---
    Hanagasa! Hanagasa! Hanagasa!
[17:26] ---
    Murderer! Murderer! Murderer!
[17:31] ---
    GRAVE OF MAMORU HANAGASA
[17:37] ---
    Wh-What the hell?
[17:41] ---
    What the hell is this?
[17:43] ---
    Time!
[17:46] ---
    One more out and it'll be a perfect game!
[17:53] ---
    - Hey! What is this?
    - Don't worry about it!
[17:56] ---
    Is it a human...
[17:58] ---
    Anyway, all we need is one more out.
[18:06] ---
    What's wrong?
    You don't know the meaning of "out"?
[18:09] ---
    Then I'll tell you.
[18:10] ---
    It means "murder."
[18:14] ---
    Muroi, out!
[18:16] ---
    Iwashita, out!
[18:18] ---
    Muroi, out!
[18:19] ---
    Iwashita, out!
[18:21] ---
    Hanagasa, out!
[18:25] ---
    Is this some kind of prank?
[18:27] ---
    Next batter, Iwashita.
[18:30] ---
    Iwashita...
[18:35] ---
    I see. So you're behind this?
[18:38] ---
    You're starting to be a pain in the ass!
[18:44] ---
    There! And now the game's over!
[18:51] ---
    What are you doing?
[18:53] ---
    It's not my fault!
[18:54] ---
    I don't wanna hear any excuses.
[18:56] ---
    You lost, so...
[19:01] ---
    This prank has gone far enough!
[19:03] ---
    It's no prank!
    Baseball is a serious game of life or death.
[19:07] ---
    So keep playing.
[19:10] ---
    Dammit!
[19:14] ---
    Like I'm gonna let him run home?
[19:21] ---
    Go to hell!
[19:26] ---
    Wha...
[19:30] ---
    Safe!
[19:31] ---
    My pitching arm!
[19:36] ---
    Do you feel like admitting your sin now?
[19:39] ---
    What did I do?
[19:43] ---
    You murdered one person
    and framed another one for it.
[19:48] ---
    You don't feel bad about that?
[19:50] ---
    I don't care about either of those guys!
[19:53] ---
    Thinking you're so special
    that you can get away with anything
[19:58] ---
    just because you're pretty good
    at baseball is the height of hubris.
[20:03] ---
    Don't you guys read the newspapers?
[20:06] ---
    "Pretty good" is a total understatement.
[20:09] ---
    They say I'm the kind of player
    who comes along once every ten years.
[20:11] ---
    You really don't understand
    what a loss it would be to Japanese...
[20:15] ---
    No, to world professional baseball
    if I couldn't play anymore.
[20:20] ---
    You guys get it, right?
[20:22] ---
    Iwashita, Muroi...
[20:24] ---
    It's an honor to die for my sake, right?
[20:27] ---
    You hear that, Milady?
[20:31] ---
    Pitiful shadow lost in the darkness.
[20:34] ---
    You harmed and looked down upon people.
[20:37] ---
    Soul awash in your own sins...
[20:41] ---
    Would you like to try dying once?
[20:52] ---
    N-Now what?
[20:58] ---
    Answer me!
[21:07] ---
    I just joined the baseball team
    because I wanted to play baseball.
[21:11] ---
    Unlike you, Hanagasa, I probably
    didn't have a chance of turning pro.
[21:16] ---
    I would've been happy with sandlot baseball
    as long as I kept playing.
[21:21] ---
    But I can't play baseball anymore, can I?
[21:23] ---
    If you wanna play so badly,
    why don't you go ahead and do it?
[21:26] ---
    Really?
[21:27] ---
    Then let's play together, Hanagasa!
[21:32] ---
    Play by yourself! Leave me out of it!
[21:34] ---
    Huh? Hanagasa, don't you know
    that you can't play baseball by yourself?
[21:42] ---
    This grudge will be washed away in Hell.
[21:58] ---
    Good morning!
[22:00] ---
    They're calling him "Boy A,"
    but it's obvious.
[22:02] ---
    The giveaway is
[22:03] ---
    he was an ace on his baseball team
    who drew attention from the pros.
[22:07] ---
    Well, Hanagasa was in the papers
    and on TV enough before that,
[22:10] ---
    so the witness knew it was him
    who beat Muroi with his teammate's bat.
[22:16] ---
    But I wonder where he disappeared to.
[22:21] ---
    Your aunt's taking you in,
[22:23] ---
    but if you ever have any trouble,
    don't hesitate to call.
[22:27] ---
    Okay.
[22:28] ---
    Muroi
[22:30] ---
    And it'd be nice if you came home
    once in a while to visit...
[22:34] ---
    Yeah, once I get settled.
[22:36] ---
    It'll probably take a while though.
[22:43] ---
    Daisuke Iwashita
[22:45] ---
    Your vengeance...
[22:47] ---
    has been carried out.
