[00:03] Umekichi
Suggests they were attacked and tortured,
but only up to the brink of death.
[00:09] Umekichi
They'll be alive,
[00:11] Umekichi
but they likely won't serve
as a Saenome again.
[00:15] Shota
Damn it!
[00:17] Taiju
The remnants of the puppets
brought along as bodyguards.
[00:20] Taiju
One's cut in two.
[00:23] Taiju
One's burned to ash.
[00:25] Taiju
One's shattered.
[00:27] Taiju
There'll be at least three attackers,
[00:31] Taiju
and a torture-happy bunch, at that.
[00:35] Umekichi
Can it be...
[00:36] Taiju
It'll be the Sogenbi.
[00:42] Taiju
Been a while since anyone
picked a fight with us.
[00:45] Taiju
Let's find them and crush them.

[02:25] Botan
Now, you be careful...
[02:27] Botan
You be real careful not to get hurt!
[02:30] Botan
I'm tired of you coming home
covered in cuts and bruises.
[02:34] Hyoma
Y-Yes.
[02:36] Hyoma
I shall endeavor to be safe, Nagatsuki-s—
[02:41] Hyoma
B...
[02:43] Hyoma
Botan.
[02:45] Botan
Yep!
[02:48] Hyoma
Hostility?!
[02:49] Yu
Hey!
[02:52] Hyoma
No honorific? At least use "san"!
[02:56] Hyoma
But Naga—
[02:58] Hyoma
Botan told me to say that.
[02:59] Yu
Again?!
[03:01] Botan
It's no big deal.
[03:02] Botan
He doesn't use "san" with anyone else's name.
[03:05] Botan
Besides, it looks like
that training's paid off!
[03:12] (Flashback) Hyoma
B... B...
[03:13] (Flashback) Hyoma
Bot... Bota...
[03:14] (Flashback) Botan
You're almost there! Push through!
[03:19] Yu
Was it really worth pushing for?
[03:25] Botan
I hope they'll be okay together.
[03:28] Botan
Don't you guys have to join them?
[03:30] Nagi
Nah, we're on house duty today!
[03:37] Hyoma
Still...
[03:38] Hyoma
For them to ask for not just me,
but the Nagatsuki household...
[03:42] Hyoma
The opponent must be impressively powerful.
[03:45] Yu
Yes, it's the Tsukumogami group
known as "Sogenbi."
[03:49] Yu
One of the largest factions in Kyoto.
[03:52] Yu
Of particular note,
[03:54] Yu
their members' vessels are all implements of
[03:57] Yu
execution, torture, and other
instruments of human suffering.
[04:02] Yu
Four years ago, the Kyoto Saenome
went to war to take them down.
[04:08] Yu
This most recent incident must be the work
of three of their surviving leaders.
[04:15] Hyoma
They sound quite dangerous.
[04:20] Hyoma
You're sure we shouldn't have
brought Nagi and the others?
[04:23] Yu
Yeah. We were part of
taking them down last time.
[04:28] Yu
If they're after revenge,
[04:32] Yu
they might attempt to
take Botan as a hostage.
[04:37] Suzuri
Kushige, it might be best to expand
the mansion's barrier a bit.
[04:48] Hyoma
I see.
[04:50] Yu
Or... are you scared without them?
[04:54] Hyoma
Don't be absurd.
[04:56] Hyoma
We're facing tsukumogami that harm humans.
[05:00] Hyoma
I'm relieved that I won't have to hold back.
SIGN Kazahana Park
[05:11] Yu
This was the meeting place.
[05:14] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan!
[05:19] Hyoma
You—
[05:21] Hyoma
Identify yourself!
[05:24] Tsubaki
How've you been?
[05:26] Hyoma
You're... Kadomori Tsubaki!
[05:29] Tsubaki
Right-o!
[05:31] Tsubaki
Looks like we're working together today!
[05:34] Tsubaki
Anyway, how come you didn't text me?
[05:37] Tsubaki
I waited, like, forever!
[05:39] Hyoma
I had my reasons—
[05:45] Yu
You've got a woman in every town, do you?
[05:49] Yu
I'll let Botan know.
[05:52] Hyoma
I do not!
[05:54] Tsubaki
Sorry for messing with you like that.
[05:57] Tsubaki
Nice to work with you today, Yu.
[06:00] Hyoma
You know each other?
[06:02] Yu
Of course we do.
[06:03] Yu
I'm more surprised to see
how close you two are.
[06:09] Yu
Of course, Tsubaki's in the running to be
the next Kyoto Saenome representative.
[06:14] Yu
It's in House Kunato's interest
that you two should be so close.
[06:19] Yu
I wish you a happy life together!
[06:20] Hyoma
It's not like that!
[06:22] Yu
Incidentally, she and I mainly
just grab coffee on occasion.
[06:26] Tsubaki
Yu loves her coffee, right?
[06:29] Hyoma
Y-Yes...
[06:31] Yu
Where are the other Saenome?
[06:33] Aogi
Nowhere.
[06:35] Aogi
What you see is what you get.
[06:37] Aogi
You guys are on your own mission.
[06:41] Aogi
We'll be guiding you to your destination.
[06:44] Aogi
And just FYI, the guiding's all you get.
[06:47] Aogi
Don't expect us to join in the fighting.
[06:50] Hyoma
The informant... Aogi, wasn't it?
[06:54] Aogi
Hey there, buddy.
[06:56] Aogi
It's been a while.
[06:57] Hyoma
Why are we on our own mission?
[07:00] Aogi
The rep and his main squad
[07:03] Aogi
are at the place where shit went down,
setting up a radar network of talismans.
[07:09] Aogi
Once it's finished, they'll have all
of Kyoto under their watchful eye.
[07:14] Aogi
In the meantime,
you'll be doing your own thing,
[07:18] Aogi
sniffing out the shady little places
they'd most likely be hiding.
[07:23] Hyoma
And that's something you'd know?
[07:25] Aogi
Bingo! Give the man a prize!
[07:30] Aogi
Their hideout...
[07:32] Aogi
Not likely they're using it now that
they've shown their hand, of course.
[07:38] Aogi
Here's just hoping they left
behind a clue of some kind.
[07:42] Hyoma
Wait a minute.
[07:43] Hyoma
You're telling me you
just found their hideout?
[07:47] Hyoma
Aogi, you...
[07:52] Hyoma
You're incredible!
[07:56] Hyoma
Aogi, you've done well.
[07:57] Aogi
Oh, w-well...
[07:59] Tsubuki
Hyoma-chan doesn't know about connivance?
[08:02] Yu
He'd probably be angry if he found out.
[08:05] Yu
Connivance... letting lawbreaking
tsukumogami run free, if under supervision.
[08:12] Yu
Kadomori had granted connivance
to the Sogenbi's remnants
[08:15] Yu
while using Aogi and Uchiki
to check in on them periodically.
[08:19] Yu
It makes it easier to track the
movements of the minor hooligans
[08:23] Yu
who come seeking their approval.
[08:25] Yu
"We let you roam free,
and you don't turn on us."
[08:28] Yu
The Sogenbi would have
known that was the deal.
[08:32] Yu
They've stayed quiet
for years now, after all.
[08:36] Yu
Why would they break that unspoken law now?
[08:41] Yu
We've become quite the lawbreakers
ourselves in their eyes, I suppose.
[08:46] Yu
You're becoming quite a point
of contention, Kunato Hyoma.
[08:52] Aogi
A-Anyway, this is as far as I go.
[08:55] Aogi
Let's blow this joint.
[08:57] Aogi
We're not staying here
any longer than we have to.
[09:00] Aogi
C'mon, Uchiki-kun.
[09:05] Hyoma
Aogi!
[09:05] Aogi
What now?
[09:07] Aogi
Don't try to stop—
[09:17] Hyoma
They are here?!
[09:21] Mushiro
One... two... three.
[09:25] Mushiro
Well, well...
[09:27] Mushiro
Not many of you, are there?
[09:29] Tsubaki
Aw, c'mon. There's a whole two of them!
[09:32] Hikikiri
Three.
[09:37] Hikikiri
Yes, I see...
[09:39] Hikikiri
Kadomori Taiju put a watch on the town?
[09:42] Hikikiri
What a pity...
[09:44] Hikikiri
For you, that is.
SIGN — Hikikiri —
[09:46] Hikikiri
We didn't know the location
of Kadomori's stronghold,
[09:50] Hikikiri
so we'd decided to wait.
[09:53] Hikikiri
That Saenome last night...
[09:55] Hikikiri
He was a fine soldier.
[09:57] Hikikiri
No matter how we tortured him,
he wouldn't reveal his master's location.
[10:05] Hikikiri
Let's see how much you can endure.
SIGN — Shimoto —
[10:16] Aogi
H-Hang on...
[10:18] Aogi
How'd we end up surrounded?!
SIGN — Mushiro —
[10:26] Hyoma
Sogenbi...
[10:28] Hyoma
For what purpose do you hurt humans?
[10:33] Hyoma
Did you attack that Saenome
for the purpose of revenge?
[10:36] Hikikiri
For what purpose?
[10:38] Hikikiri
We do it to make humans suffer.
[10:42] Hikikiri
That is naught but our fate, as those who take
instruments of punishment as their vessel.
[10:48] Hyoma
I see.
[10:50] Hikikiri
And when we attacked the Saenome,
[10:52] Hikikiri
we were turning them from an
obstacle to a target, nothing more.
[10:56] Hyoma
Did you...
[10:58] Hyoma
Yes, I see.
[11:03] Hyoma
I'll break you!
[11:04] Yu
I believe you see the Nagatsukis
as obstacles, as well.
[11:08] Yu
It's in our interest to crush you now, then.
[11:10] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan happens to be right here.
[11:13] Tsubaki
Guess I'd better put on a good show.
[11:16] Aogi
Um, so...
[11:19] Aogi
Uchiki-kun?
[11:21] Aogi
This is not a good day.
[11:25] Hyoma
Tsukumogami Group, Sogenbi...
[11:31] Hyoma
Begone from this world!
[11:39] Hikikiri
The door pulls of the Kunato...
[11:42] Hikikiri
So he's the one...
[11:45] Tsubaki
Show me, Hyoma-chan.
[11:47] Tsubaki
The strength that Hayato-san
and Kusui-san boasted about.
[11:51] Tsubaki
If you show me that here...
[11:54] Tsubaki
I'll know for sure that you're
the one I've been waiting for.
[12:00] Aogi
It's feeling like we're gonna
get dragged into this fight.
[12:03] Aogi
You gotta be kidding me!
[12:07] Aogi
I'll have to pretend I'm
helping out the Saenome,
[12:11] Aogi
then slip away in the chaos!
[12:12] Aogi
Okay...
[12:13] Tsubaki
Here!
[12:14] Aogi
Huh? Is that...
[12:17] Aogi
A control talisman?!
[12:18] Tsubaki
Have a good time, Aogi!
[12:22] Aogi
H-Hey!
[12:24] Aogi
You're pure evil!
[12:31] Aogi
Time to make a break for it!
[12:35] Aogi
Ow!
[12:48] Hyoma
Tsubaki!
[12:52] Hikikiri
I'll face you myself.
[13:07] Tsubaki
Couldn't you turn up the heat a bit?
[13:13] Hikikiri
Nagatsuki, and Kunato...
[13:16] Hikikiri
The human who broke the law by approaching
the Nagatsukis, Kunato Hyoma...
[13:22] Hikikiri
I am grateful to you.
[13:24] Hikikiri
Your actions freed us from
that ridiculous obligation
[13:29] Hikikiri
and allowed us to act.
[13:32] Hyoma
I was the reason?
[13:37] Yu
Hyoma, now's not the time to think about—
[13:44] Hikikiri
He's...
[13:47] Hyoma
I'll not be led astray by nonsense.
[13:49] Hyoma
Strike him quickly, Yu!
[13:52] Yu
Goodness. He is quite a fool.
[13:57] Yu
Kindly don't order me around.
SIGN Kadomori
[14:11] Shota
Nothing but servants.
[14:14] Taiju
Ume, Matsu...
[14:16] Taiju
Leave them to me.
[14:19] Aogi
Hang on a minute, Shimoto!
[14:22] Aogi
We're friends, aren't we?
[14:23] Aogi
Plus, we're just doing what
the control talisman tells us to!
[14:27] Aogi
We're really not here to fight!
[14:29] Shimoto
Huh? I've never liked you two, y'know.
[14:32] Shimoto
The way you scamper around,
running your schemes...
[14:37] Shimoto
You know those Kadomori puppets
we destroyed last night?
[14:42] Shimoto
You two are pretty much
the same from our perspective.
[14:47] Aogi
Did you call us puppets?
[14:50] Shimoto
You can't brown-nose your way out of this!
[14:57] Aogi
Okay, damn it...
[14:59] Aogi
That one really ticked me off.
[15:02] Aogi
Let's do this, Uchiki-kun.
[15:05] Shimoto
I don't want to hear about pride...
[15:08] Shimoto
from a human bootlicker like you!
[15:11] Aogi
That's rich, coming from someone
humans granted connivance!
[15:45] Yu
He self-detonated?
[15:47] Yu
No...
[15:56] Yu
Hyoma!
[16:01] Hikikiri
Your hairpins...
[16:03] Hikikiri
They seal in place anything
they hit. Quite dangerous.
[16:08] Hikikiri
But our bodies are already an assumed form.
[16:11] Hikikiri
If we instantly re-transform wherever
they strike, it's not difficult to avoid them.
[16:17] Hikikiri
Just stay quiet there for a while.
[16:26] Hikikiri
Now for you.
[16:28] Hikikiri
Your eyes have some life in them.
[16:32] Hikikiri
Anything that crosses the path of those
"door pulls" is completely erased.
[16:38] Hikikiri
The Kunatos' relic...
[16:40] Hikikiri
The door pulls, "Chibiki-iwa"...
[16:42] Hikikiri
So the rumors were true.
[16:47] Hikikiri
The literal pulls from the door
to the land of the dead.
[16:53] Hikikiri
To come into contact with them
[16:55] Hikikiri
is to step through that door.
[16:58] Hikikiri
And that change in their natural law
[17:00] Hikikiri
causes things of the world
of the living to vanish.
[17:05] Hikikiri
Terrifying.
[17:06] Hikikiri
However...
[17:08] Hikikiri
The ability to use them comes
down to the wielder's skill.
[17:11] Hikikiri
And with your leg in that state,
your mobility is halved.
[17:15] Hikikiri
It's time to fulfill my purpose, then.
[17:19] Hikikiri
I'll tear you to pieces,
slowly and carefully.
[17:25] Hikikiri
It's time for torture.
[17:27] Hikikiri
Scream, cry...
[17:50] Hikikiri
And then lose all hope.
[18:00] Tsubaki
You can't back down, can you?
[18:06] Hikikiri
Impossible...
[18:07] Tsubaki
You can't afford to lose in a place like this,
against an opponent like that...
[18:13] Tsubaki
Because the thing you must destroy
is far more powerful.
[18:18] Tsubaki
Seeing you wield the door pulls they left you
[18:21] Tsubaki
makes it clear that we're
focused on the same thing.
[18:25] Tsubaki
At last, we meet...
[18:31] Tsubaki
The one who hunts the paper umbrella.
[18:38] Hyoma
Is that the best you have, Sogenbi?
[18:41] Tsubaki
My compatriot.
[18:49] Shimoto
She's...
[18:51] Aogi
Just because we're lower rank...
[18:54] Aogi
You better not look away!
[18:56] Shimoto
You—
[18:58] Aogi
So long, Shimoto-san!
[19:09] Aogi
Nice work, m'dear!
[19:10] Aogi
You've slimmed down a bit, I see.
[19:13] Aogi
How many layers left, Uchiki-kun?
[19:18] Aogi
We're down to the wire, I guess.
[19:23] Aogi
Might be time to throw in the towel,
[19:26] Aogi
Mr. Hikikiri.
[19:32] Hikikiri
Implements of torture have a purpose.
[19:39] Hikikiri
I learned through four
years of stifling silence...
[19:43] Hikikiri
Living, for us, means acting out our purpose!
[19:48] Aogi
No freaking way...
[19:49] Hikikiri
I won't stop! I won't stop! I won't stop!
[19:55] Hikikiri
To achieve my purpose in life,
[19:58] Hikikiri
you all must...
[20:00] Hikikiri
die!
[20:06] Hikikiri
Y-You...
[20:14] Aogi
Is she mad?
[20:16] Aogi
Oh, hey...
[20:19] Aogi
The building is...
[20:21] Aogi
N-No way...
[20:24] Aogi
She bound up the whole building?!
[20:27] Tsubaki
Now, there's something I didn't know.
[20:29] Tsubaki
You get scary when you're mad, huh, Yu?
[20:35] Yu
Get out of here. You're injured.
[20:40] Hyoma
Understood.
[20:45] Hikikiri
Get out of my way, Nagatsuki!
[20:50] Yu
Don't underestimate me!
[20:53] Hyoma
That's right!
[20:55] Hyoma
Learn the weight of the hammer of justice!
[20:59] Yu
What are you doing?!

I'm following your plan, Yu!
