**[00:00] Kurusu**
**[00:05] Kurusu**
A kabaneri?
**[00:07] Mumei**
Correct. Something between
kabane and human.
**[00:12] Ikoma**
You're just like me?
**[00:18] Kurusu**
But you're still not human!
**[00:22] Mumei**
If you were my enemy...
**[00:26] Mumei**
I'd kill you.
**[00:32] Kurusu**
Kabane are the enemies of mankind.
**[00:37] Ayame**
Enough, Kurusu!
**[00:43] Ayame**
Without them, we'd all be dead.
**[00:47] Kurusu**
But that doesn't mean we
can travel with a kabane!
**[00:50] Ikoma**
I feel the same way!
**[00:52] Ikoma**
I'm a kabane.
**[00:53] Ikoma**
If I stay here, I'll turn
everyone into kabane.
**[01:00] Ikoma**
Why—
**[01:00] Mumei**
You're not a kabane.
You're a kabaneri.
**[01:02] Mumei**
You have the body of a kabane,
but the mind of a human.
**[01:05] Ikoma**
I can't believe—
**[01:06] Mumei**
Ayame-san, the Kotetsujyo is
going to Kongokaku, right?
**[01:10] Ayame**
Yes,
**[01:11] Ayame**
that's what the timetables say.
**[01:14] Kajika**
What's Kongokaku?
**[01:15] Takumi**
You haven't heard of it?
**[01:17] Takumi**
It's the shogunate's largest fortress,
**[01:18] Takumi**
where the shogun lives.
**[01:20] Ikoma**
Ayame-sama, if you're going
to the Kongokaku, take me.
**[01:23] Mumei**
Let me go with you.
**[01:25] Mumei**
In exchange, I won't leave this car.
**[01:28] Ikoma**
Hey, I'm still talking.
**[01:39] Mumei**
Well, I'm staying here,
no matter what you say.
**[01:44] Opening**
Are you human or kabane?
**[01:46] Opening**
Neither!
**[01:48] Opening**
I'm a kabaneri!

**[03:21] Engineer**
Suzuki-san, that's dangerous!
**[03:24] Suzuki**
You can only tell what's
going on from the side!
**[03:28] ManC**
They say there's a kabane on board!
**[03:30] ManB**
Don't open the window without permission!
**[03:31] Kajika**
One per person!
**[03:33] Kajika**
There'll be more in the evening!
**[03:36] ManC**
This is all we get?
**[03:40] Kajika**
Here you go.
**[03:41] Shino**
Thank you.
**[03:46] Kajika**
For the baby in your belly.
**[03:54] Kibito**
We lack sufficient amounts
of both food and water.
**[03:56] Kibito**
And we're carrying all these people.
**[03:59] Kibito**
Can we make it?
**[04:00] Kurusu**
We'll have to try.
**[04:03] Kurusu**
There's no safer place than there.
**[04:06] Kibito**
But if Kongokaku doesn't accept us?
**[04:09] Kajika**
Rations!
**[04:11] Kurusu**
One of the shogun's
roju is Ayame-sama's uncle.
**[04:15] Kurusu**
He won't refuse us.
**[04:18] Kajika**
You can't eat it with your
hands covered in grease!
**[04:21] Kurusu**
It's my body!
**[04:22] Kajika**
Your mother gave it to you, right?
**[04:52] Mumei**
Your wounds healed, right?
**[04:55] Mumei**
You've got the body of a kabane, after all.
**[04:58] Mumei**
You should be able to move freely now.
**[05:03] Ikoma**
You said you're going to
Kongokaku, right?
**[05:07] Mumei**
I promised my brother.
**[05:09] Mumei**
I can't say what it is,
**[05:10] Mumei**
but I have an important errand.
**[05:13] Mumei**
You interested in Kongokaku, too?
**[05:16] Ikoma**
It's at the front lines of kabane research.
**[05:19] Ikoma**
They might be able to do something
about this kabaneri thing.
**[05:23] Mumei**
Weren't you getting off?
**[05:25] Ikoma**
I don't fully believe in this
kabaneri thing you spoke of.
**[05:29] Ikoma**
But if I stay here in the
boiler car for three days,
**[05:33] Ikoma**
I can prove that my mind
won't become a kabane's.
**[05:36] Mumei**
Then it's settled.
**[05:38] Ikoma**
Settled?
**[05:40] Mumei**
You'll ride the Kotetsujyo with me,
**[05:42] Mumei**
and be my shield.
**[05:45] Ikoma**
"Shield"?
**[05:46] Mumei**
When I fight for too long, I fall asleep.
**[05:50] Mumei**
So I need a living shield.
**[05:52] Mumei**
You can shrug off a kabane bite, right?
**[05:56] Ikoma**
The hell I can!
**[05:59] Mumei**
You're going to Kongokaku, right?
**[06:01] Mumei**
So stand up.
**[06:02] Mumei**
Let's get started.
**[06:04] Ikoma**
Started with what?
**[06:05] Mumei**
Training!
**[06:07] Mumei**
Right now I can't even count
on you to be a shield.
**[06:11] Ikoma**
Hey, wait!
**[06:13] Mumei**
Come on, you're telegraphing your moves.
**[06:14] Mumei**
And you aren't watching your feet!
**[06:16] Ikoma**
Wait!
**[06:17] Akoji**
You can't just let a kabane
on board without asking us!
**[06:21] Banki**
It's not too late!
**[06:22] Banki**
We should kick them off!
**[06:25] Ayame**
They've promised not to leave the last car!
**[06:28] Shuzo**
Why would a kabane keep a promise?
**[06:31] Ayame**
Does the Rokutouryou have no sense of pride?
**[06:35] Ayame**
And before he became a kabaneri,
**[06:38] Ayame**
he was trying to be a righteous person!
**[06:40] Hatori**
You can't come in here!
**[06:44] Hatori**
They keep telling us to stop the Kotetsujyo
**[06:46] Hatori**
and won't listen!
**[06:47] Elder1**
Please, stop the train!
**[06:48] Elder2**
We want to have a funeral!
**[06:50] Elder3**
A funeral for our families!
**[06:52] Elder4**
If we get any further away,
**[06:53] Elder4**
our prayers won't be heard!
**[06:56] Elder2**
Do you want my grandchild
to become a wandering ghost?
**[07:08] Mumei**
You're hopeless.
**[07:10] Mumei**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[07:11] Mumei**
It's spin, chop, chop, punch!
**[07:13] Mumei**
You're doing it all wrong!
**[07:16] Ikoma**
Just because you can do it doesn't
mean that explanation isn't shit!
**[07:20] Mumei**
Stop screwing around.
**[07:23] Mumei**
I haven't even taken off my kasehimo
and I'm still stronger than you.
**[07:28] Ikoma**
What's that thing on your neck for, anyway?
**[07:33] Mumei**
The same as yours, probably.
**[07:35] Mumei**
If I take it off, I can
fight at full power for a while,
**[07:38] Mumei**
but then the curse flows
through my whole body, and I get tired.
**[07:41] Mumei**
Strange, huh?
**[07:45] Mumei**
Kabane?
**[07:46] Ikoma**
What?
**[07:47] Ikoma**
Hey!
**[07:50] Ikoma**
Mumei, what are you doing?
**[07:52] Shino**
Stop it!
**[07:53] ManD**
I saw it!
**[07:55] ManD**
You were the only one
who got two rice balls!
**[07:57] ManE**
It's a kabane!
**[07:59] Civilian1**
A kabane?
**[08:00] Civilian2**
Weren't they supposed to stay in their car?
**[08:02] ManC**
Kabane!
**[08:03] ManC**
The kabane came out!
**[08:08] MumeI**
I'm sure I felt it...
**[08:11] Ikoma**
Come on back, Mumei.
**[08:13] Ikoma**
You just promised not to
leave the boiler car!
**[08:16] Mumei**
Don't get in my way!
**[08:18] Kurusu**
Don't move!
**[08:20] Kurusu**
Kabaneri? Hah!
**[08:22] Kurusu**
So you came in search
of human blood after all.
**[08:25] Ikoma**
Stop!
**[08:26] Ikoma**
I'll take Mumei right back.
**[08:28] Ikoma**
I'll make her stay quiet until
we reach Kongokaku.
**[08:31] MumeI**
What makes you think you can do that?
**[08:34] Ayame**
Mumei-san!
**[08:37] Akouji**
What's going on here?
**[08:40] Ayame**
Why did you come out?
**[08:41] Ayame**
You promised!
**[08:43] Mumei**
I'm sure you wouldn't
understand if I told you.
**[08:45] Ikoma**
Hey!
**[08:47] Akouji**
We never should've let Kabane
on in the first place!
**[08:51] Mase**
Let's have them removed immediately.
**[08:53] Mumei**
Just try it!
**[08:55] Ikoma**
Stop it!
**[09:00] Suzuki**
Bad news, Captain.
**[09:02] Suzuki**
The water tank I did emergency
repairs on broke again.
**[09:06] Suzuki**
It's not going to last
until the next station.
**[09:16] Shotaro**
Are we stopping?
**[09:18] Kajika**
We're getting water.
**[09:20] Kobito**
Check that the pressure's going up.
**[09:22] Kobito**
Yeah, that's the gauge.
**[09:39] Kurusu**
There's no sign of any kabane.
**[09:43] Ayame**
How long will it take to
repair the water tank?
**[09:46] Suzuki**
Maybe we'll be done by morning.
**[09:49] Ayame**
Morning...
**[09:51] Kurusu**
We'll take shifts for the watch.
**[09:54] Ayame**
Yes.
**[09:56] Ayame**
And let's hold a funeral while
the Kotetsujyo is stopped.
**[10:01] Kurusu**
What the old men wanted?
**[10:04] Ayame**
I want to pray for my father, as well.
**[10:09] Kurusu**
Understood.
**[10:28] Shotaro**
Nanmaida! Nanmaida!
**[10:58] Houki**
What?
**[11:00] Hishaku**
Is that true?
**[11:01] Mase**
Yeah.
**[11:02] Mase**
And they're pretending to be human.
**[11:04] Yakan**
We'll make them pay!
**[11:05] Hishaku**
Damn them!
**[11:09] Sukari**
Hey, get back to work.
**[11:11] Sukari**
Prayers won't bring back the dead.
**[11:17] Yukina**
I'll take over.
**[11:21] Yukina**
You're a shitty person.
**[11:26] Sukari**
Did you lose someone, too?
**[11:28] Yukina**
My master.
**[11:29] Sukari**
Were you especially close?
**[11:35] Yukina**
You're scum.
**[11:39] Sukari**
That's just the kind of awful man I am.
**[11:47] Mumei**
You're not going to pray?
**[11:49] Ikoma**
My family's long gone.
**[11:52] Mumei**
Oh, same as me, huh?
**[11:59] Mumei**
It's a common story,
**[12:01] Mumei**
losing your family to the kabane.
**[12:07] Mumei**
What's that you've got in your right hand?
**[12:10] Mumei**
If you hit that against something,
it'll hurt like hell.
**[12:17] Ikoma**
It's just a plain old stone from a river.
**[12:21] Ikoma**
I found two pretty ones,
together with my sister.
**[12:25] Ikoma**
I said I'd give her both,
**[12:28] Ikoma**
but she said we should each take
one and make a talisman out of it.
**[12:34] Ikoma**
I didn't intend for it to be
something to remember her by.
**[12:40] Ikoma**
It was five years later when the
kabane broke into our station.
**[12:45] Ikoma**
The adults were overwhelmed
with fear and ran.
**[12:49] Ikoma**
We were left behind,
**[12:52] Ikoma**
and a kabane caught my sister.
**[12:57] Ikoma**
A common story, right?
**[13:00] Ikoma**
But what do you think her
stupid brother did then?
**[13:04] Ikoma**
I ran!
**[13:07] Ikoma**
I gave the excuse that I
was going to get help.
**[13:09] Ikoma**
And I left.
**[13:13] Ikoma**
I tried to rely on someone else for help.
**[13:20] Ikoma**
When I went back,
**[13:22] Ikoma**
my sister was barely recognizable.
**[13:28] Ikoma**
Her cowardly brother cried and apologized.
**[13:32] Ikoma**
I'm so sorry, he said.
**[13:36] Ikoma**
But it was too late.
**[13:39] Ikoma**
My sister wasn't coming back.
**[14:15] Ikoma**
I should've overcome my fear and fought,
**[14:19] Ikoma**
even if it meant I died with her.
**[14:23] Ikoma**
No matter how much I hate
my cowardice on that day,
**[14:26] Ikoma**
my sister isn't coming back.
**[14:35] Mumei**
Yeah, that really is a common story.
**[14:39] Mumei**
The weak die and the strong survive.
**[14:44] Mumei**
That's all there is to it, right?
**[14:50] Houki**
You want to do it?
**[14:51] Hishaku**
Let me do it.
**[14:53] Ayame**
What are you going to do?
**[14:55] Ayame**
They're not enemies.
**[14:58] Ayame**
They saved us.
**[15:00] Houki**
The kabane are our enemies!
**[15:01] Yakan**
Once they attack us, it will be too late!
**[15:03] Hishaku**
Let us kill them, Ayame-sama!
**[15:05] Ayame**
You...
**[15:10] Ikoma**
Ayame-sama?
**[15:13] Ayame**
Um...
**[15:14] Mumei**
That's a dangerous group
you've got with you.
**[15:17] Ayame**
Well...
**[15:19] Mumei**
Sure.
**[15:20] Mumei**
If they want a war, I don't mind.
**[15:23] Ikoma**
Wait!
**[15:29] Ikoma**
You're weak. Don't act like you're strong!
**[15:31] Ikoma**
Mumei, don't provoke them!
**[15:33] Mumei**
They're the ones doing the provoking!
**[15:35] Mase**
Look! The kabaneri are our enemies!
**[15:38] Yakan**
Don't fall back, everyone!
**[15:40] Hishaku**
We have to protect our families!
**[15:42] Hishaku**
Rokkon Shojo!
**[15:44] Ayame**
Stop this!
**[15:49] Men**
That's dangerous! Please come down!
**[15:52] Men**
Stop, Ayame-sama!
**[16:14] Shino**
Was it not meant to be?
**[16:18] Shino**
I'm sorry.
**[16:20] Shino**
Mom's not gonna be able to have you.
**[16:26] Kajika**
Shino-san?
**[16:28] Bushi1**
Kabaneri!
**[16:29] Bushi1**
What are you doing here?
**[16:31] Mumei**
You guys are tense, too.
**[16:33] Mumei**
I'm not here to fight.
**[16:37] Mumei**
Hey, I have a request.
**[16:40] Kajika**
What is it?
**[16:43] Kajika**
What's wrong?
**[16:46] Kajika**
Gotta pee?
**[16:48] Kajika**
Do you not feel well?
**[16:59] Mumei**
He laughed!
**[17:01] Mumei**
He laughed just now!
**[17:05] Ayame**
Ikoma, you told my father not to
point his gun at the wrong people,
**[17:10] Ayame**
didn't you?
**[17:13] Ayame**
Then...
**[17:16] Ayame**
Are kabaneri enemies of humanity?
**[17:18] Ayame**
Or friends?
**[17:21] Houki**
Ayame-sama!
**[17:22] Yakan**
Stop it!
**[17:25] Ayame**
As the one in charge of the
Kotetsujyo, I must know!
**[17:30] Ayame**
Who is my enemy, and who is my friend?
**[17:36] Ayame**
Why don't you use your right hand?
**[17:39] Ayame**
If you grabbed my sleeve and bit me...
**[17:41] Ikoma**
I can't do that!
**[17:42] ---**
Why not?
**[17:43] Ayame**
Because I swore an oath to this hand!
**[17:46] Ayame**
That I wouldn't run anymore!
**[17:48] Ayame**
That I wouldn't sacrifice
someone else's life,
**[17:51] Ayame**
even if it was the only way to save my own!
**[17:56] Ayame**
My enemy is the kabane!
**[17:58] Ayame**
My life exists to fight the kabane!
**[18:11] Ayame**
That's enough, isn't it?
**[18:16] Ayame**
If anyone else believes he is our enemy,
**[18:19] Ayame**
then please come up here.
**[18:22] Ayame**
I will give you a chance
to find out for yourself.
**[18:36] Ayame**
I'm sorry for testing you.
**[18:39] Ikoma**
No.
**[18:41] Ayame**
But why did you allow my blade to strike?
**[18:45] Ayame**
You could've grabbed my arm.
**[18:48] Ikoma**
Oh, um... I wasn't sure it'd be okay.
**[18:51] Ikoma**
I haven't had this body for long.
**[18:55] Ikoma**
I thought that I might injure you.
**[18:58] Ayame**
Oh my!
**[18:59] Ayame**
Don't worry about that.
**[19:01] Ayame**
Worry about yourself.
**[19:04] Ikoma**
Yes, ma'am.
**[19:15] Ayame**
Ikoma?!
**[19:16] Ayame**
What's wrong?
**[19:24] Mumei**
Aw, jeez, stop!
**[19:25] Mumei**
Really!
**[19:30] Mumei**
That's so funny!
**[19:33] Mumei**
I'm hungry after all that laughing.
**[19:35] Kajika**
We have dango soup.
**[19:37] Kajika**
I'll bring you some.
**[19:38] Mumei**
Thank you.
**[19:40] Mumei**
But I don't need it.
**[19:44] Mumei**
Give me blood.
**[19:47] Kajika**
Blood?
**[19:48] Mumei**
The red stuff that spurts out
of someone when you cut them.
**[19:53] Kajika**
But you're...
**[19:55] Mumei**
A kabaneri.
**[19:57] Mumei**
That means I'm half-kabane.
**[20:03] Ayame**
It must be because of blood loss.
**[20:05] Ayame**
Please wait.
**[20:09] Saba**
No way!
**[20:10] Saba**
You want us to become kabane, too?
**[20:12] Anao**
Get away, Kajika!
**[20:14] Anao**
She really is a monster!
**[20:18] Mumei**
I don't have a choice.
**[20:20] Mumei**
I'm hungry.
**[20:34] Woman**
A kabane!
**[20:42] Kajika**
Shino-san!?
**[20:46] Kajika**
Wait! She's—
**[21:01] Kajika**
She's carrying a baby.
**[21:11] Ayame**
Ikoma, you...
