[00:14] ---
Hey, Shinobu.
[00:16] ---
You're not having
any strange thoughts, are you?
[00:18] OS
DEATHTOPIA VIRTUOSO SUICIDE-MASTER
[00:19] ---
Like, being eaten by Suicide-Master.
[00:21] ---
You're not thinking
such ridiculous things, are you?
[00:26] ---
I was wondering what you
were going to say. You scared me.
[00:29] ---
I didn't have such thoughts
until this moment.
[00:33] ---
You're the one
who's having strange thoughts.
[00:38] ---
Let's say that Suicide-Master
isn't the serial vampire for this incident.
[00:44] ---
And let's say she successfully
regains consciousness tonight.
[00:47] ---
In the end, will she be
exterminated by a specialist?
[00:51] ---
If you really want to,
[00:54] ---
I can steer the conversation to have
Suicide-Master considered as harmless.
[00:59] ---
Stop it. She didn't
turn into a vampire like me.
[01:03] ---
She's the real thing.
She was born a vampire.
[01:07] ---
An acknowledgment
that you're harmless
[01:09] ---
is nothing but an insult
to a true vampire.
[01:13] ---
Anyway, speaking of things I really want,
there's something else.
[01:17] ---
My master.
[01:19] ---
Something else you want to talk about?
[01:22] ---
Yeah.
[01:24] ---
It's when we question Suicide-Master.
[01:27] ---
I want to act tough in front of an old buddy
who I haven't seen in 600 years.
[01:32] ---
So just for tonight,
can we say that I'm not your slave,
[01:36] ---
but instead change the setting
so that you're my slave?

[03:12] ---
Hola! Araragi, you're early.
You're so serious.
[03:17] ---
Being told I'm early by someone
who got to her seat before me...
[03:22] ---
Hola.
[03:24] ---
Can I ask you for help
with code decryption again?
[03:33] ---
A cellphone, huh?
[03:36] ---
So, this is the code that was recorded
on a cellphone?
[03:39] ---
Nowadays, a cellphone
is like a part of your brain.
[03:44] ---
Yup, true.
[03:45] ---
Well, I'm not sure if there's
any meaning behind that.
[03:49] ---
Right.
[03:50] ---
And it's just numbers this time around.
[03:54] ---
Yeah.
[03:55] ---
Speaking of decryption, I decrypted it.
[03:57] ---
Already?
[03:58] ---
It's just like the one from yesterday.
[04:00] ---
It was the alphabet again.
[04:03] ---
Alphabet?
[04:04] ---
Then "D/V/S" again?
[04:08] ---
Nope. This time,
[04:10] ---
it was "F/C."
[04:11] ---
"F/C"?
[04:17] ---
If "F/C" are also initials, the question is whether
or not a member of the girls' basketball team
[04:22] ---
has those exact same initials.
[04:25] ---
The reason the message was left on a cellphone
may have been hinting at something of that nature.
[04:31] ---
You know, they had matching straps
with their initials.
[04:35] ---
Oh, come to think, they did.
[04:38] ---
By the way, Kangu was using
the strap as well.
[04:41] ---
Since her name is Misago Kangu,
her initials are K.M.
[04:44] ---
Huh? But hold on a second there,
Ms. Gaen.
[04:48] ---
In that case, the vampire
we're searching for...
[04:51] ---
Can it be that she's lurking
in the girls' basketball team?
[04:55] ---
She may have been trying to write down
[04:57] ---
the name of a friend who sprung
into mind as her consciousness faded.
[05:02] ---
This may be camouflage designed
to make us think that way.
[05:05] ---
There's even a chance that this was camouflage
created by Suicide-Master.
[05:09] ---
Right. A vampire being one of the team members
is way too unexpected to be the truth.
[05:15] ---
I don't remember
denying that possibility, either.
[05:18] ---
Well, for now we have to go
after every possibility.
[05:22] ---
Use a wave of humans
to steamroll through it all.
[05:24] ---
For someone to have the initials
"F.C." sounds a bit rare.
[05:27] ---
So even among the one hundred girls'
basketball team members,
[05:29] ---
we should be able to pare it down
to a few of them.
[05:33] ---
Just for reference,
can you tell me something, Koyomin?
[05:36] ---
How was this code deciphered?
[05:39] ---
All right.
[05:40] ---
But this code wasn't a mathematical puzzle,
nor did it involve prime numbers.
[05:46] ---
You could say it was in the sciences, but it wasn't math,
and still in the science field.
[05:50] ---
The natural science.
[05:51] OS
CELSIUS
[05:52] ---
It was Celsius and Fahrenheit.
[05:52] OS
FAHRENHEIT
[05:54] ---
Oh, so that's why it's F and C?
[05:57] ---
But how does 820, 280, 610, and 160
turn into Celsius and Fahrenheit?
[06:05] ---
For both Celsius and Fahrenheit, you have that symbol
that represents "degrees" diagonally above it.
[06:10] OS
FAHRENHEIT (°F) = CELSIUS (°C) x 1.8 + 32
[06:10] ---
Right, in the same place
where you write multipliers.
[06:14] ---
And if you interpret that degree symbol as 0...
[06:17] ---
In other words, the last digit
of each number in the code...
[06:21] ---
That is, the 0 in 820, the 0 in 280,
the 0 in 610, and the 0 in 160
[06:29] ---
can be deduced as symbols, not numbers.
[06:32] ---
Then, 820, 280, 610, and 160 turn into
82°, 28°, 61°, and 16°, you see!
[06:43] OS
NAOETSU
[06:43] ---
I see. The high and low temperatures.
[06:47] ---
And that's why "F/C"
is the decrypted phrase for that code.
[06:51] ---
Oh. I guess you wouldn't say
"phrase" for initials.
[06:54] ---
But I see now.
[06:56] ---
I'm surprised they came up
with something like this.
[06:58] ---
Yes. Checking the high and low
temperatures each day
[07:02] ---
may be natural for someone
on an athletics team.
[07:05] ---
But it's not something you think of
as your consciousness is fading.
[07:09] ---
Oh no, I was just complimenting
your classmate, Koyomin.
[07:14] OS
REASON
[07:16] ---
Anyway, how many high school girls
with the initials "F.C."
[07:19] ---
were there on the girls' basketball team?
[07:23] ---
Zero. There weren’t any.
[07:27] ---
By the way, Ms. Gaen. You don't seem to be
in that great of a mood right now.
[07:32] ---
Was there yet another piece
of inconvenient news while I was gone?
[07:37] ---
Oh no, it's just that your worries
actually came true, Koyomin.
[07:42] ---
I shouldn't have peeked inside
a high school girl's cellphone.
[07:46] ---
Despite all the effort, I didn't have results
to show, so I was about to lose heart.
[07:55] ---
Kanbaru used to have short hair
when she was on the active roster.
[07:59] ---
They all can't have similar hairdos because
they were trying to look like Kanbaru,
[08:03] ---
and not just because
they were on an athletic team.
[08:07] ---
They all looked alike?
[08:08] OS
MISAGO KANGU
[08:09] OS
KYOUMI KUCHIMOTO
[08:09] OS
ABURI HONNO
[08:10] OS
KIE HARIMAZE
[08:12] ---
Sheesh. After seeing such
a mucky set of relationships,
[08:16] ---
I'm not scared of vampires at all.
[08:20] ---
Though, there is the fact that the girls'
basketball team is a bit special.
[08:24] ---
As an adult, I really don't want to think
that this is the general case.
[08:29] ---
It's a curious extracurricular activity.
[08:31] ---
It was like they were bullying themselves.
[08:35] ---
This isn't good. I stepped into
a high school girls' colony without resolve,
[08:40] ---
and Kagenui will show up while I have
my feet stuck in a murky bottomless pit.
[08:45] ---
It's only natural for me
to worry about that, but Ms. Gaen...
[08:49] ---
It's not like she doesn't listen at all
to what you have to say, right?
[08:54] ---
That's just it.
[08:56] ---
If we explain the situation,
[08:58] ---
she might come up with the logic that
there's no need to exterminate Suicide-Master.
[09:03] ---
If Suicide-Master reversed her age to a very young girl,
we could acknowledge her as harmless.
[09:07] ---
In reality, Suicide-Master
didn't break the barrier by brute force.
[09:11] ---
She perhaps was so weakened
that the barrier didn't react to her presence.
[09:18] ---
But even in such a state, she should be able
to suck the blood of high school girls, at the least.
[09:23] ---
So just by being in this town, there's no change
that Suicide-Master is the prime suspect.
[09:29] ---
However, the reason she was mummified can be seen
not as the result of an assault by someone,
[09:34] ---
but as a result of her weakening reaching its limit,
so she put herself into anhydrobiosis.
[09:40] ---
She's an anhydrobiotic,
hibernating, napping vampire.
[09:43] ---
Which means, she was trying to return to Hachikuji,
the immigrations officer, and collapsed midway.
[09:52] ---
Though this is only one possibility
in the round-robin.
[09:55] ---
In reality, the strongest theory is that she lost against
her own hunger and assaulted high school girls.
[10:00] ---
But for now, we use the assumption
of innocent until proven guilty.
[10:04] ---
However, when it comes to Kagenui,
the same idea doesn't stand.
[10:07] ---
Why is that?
[10:09] ---
I say that because, just between you and me,
there's a bit of a relationship.
[10:13] ---
Between the questionable Suicide-master
and the problematic Kagenui.
[10:17] OS
QUESTIONABLE
[10:18] ---
Questionable...
[10:19] OS
PROBLEMATIC
[10:20] ---
and problematic.
[10:22] ---
Even if Suicide-Master didn't commit
the crime this time around.
[10:25] ---
That relationship may not be able
to stop Kagenui.
[10:30] ---
Standing up for justice is the only thing
that's stopping that unorthodox onmyouji.
[10:36] ---
But this time around, she might mobilize
out of a personal grudge.
[10:39] ---
P-Personal grudge?
That clump of righteousness?
[10:43] ---
If I err in the measures I take here, I will be forced
to excommunicate another one of my juniors.
[10:49] ---
And I just hate that.
[10:53] ---
Just by being Ms. Kagenui's
personal grudge,
[10:55] ---
it felt like something that outsiders
should not step into.
[10:58] OS
GETTING BACK ON TOPIC
[10:58] ---
So, getting back on topic.
[11:00] ---
Nobody with those initials
were on the roster.
[11:05] ---
Maybe this isn't initials,
but an abbreviation for English words?
[11:09] ---
Abbreviation? So English words
other than that of a person's names?
[11:14] ---
It probably doesn't stand for FranChise...
[11:17] ---
So maybe something like Football Club?
[11:20] ---
Fan Club!
[11:22] ---
There was something like that in the past.
[11:24] ---
Though it's not that long ago.
[11:27] ---
There was an unofficial fan club
for the superstar Suruga Kanbaru.
[11:31] ---
It was a different group
than the girls' basketball team.
[11:33] ---
And just now, when I thought about how the mummies
all have basically the same hairstyle,
[11:38] ---
I was reminded of it.
[11:39] ---
Let's see. If I recall correctly,
that fan club...
[11:42] OS
LET OUR SCREAMING SOULS REACH
KANBARU FOR LIFE
(SURUGA KANBARU FC, KANBARU SŒUR"
ONLY SURUGA WINS
[11:42] ---
"Kanbaru Sœur"
was the name, I think?
[11:45] ---
What's that? Is that similar
to the Kaede Rukawa Groupies?
[11:49] ---
Exactly.
[11:51] ---
There might not be much of a correlation,
but now that I've thought about it, I can't help it.
[11:56] ---
Though she wasn't a member of that fan club,
[11:58] ---
my little sister was pretty close
to that group, so I can poke around a bit.
[12:03] ---
Little sister?
[12:05] ---
My little sister.
Parenthetically, the bigger one.
[12:08] ---
Oh, you mean Karen.
Got it. Do as you see fit.
[12:13] ---
I'll just keep at cellphone analysis here
at the hospital with just sheer willpower.
[12:19] ---
I'll wait for reports from the search parties
and prepare for tonight.
[12:22] ---
I'll go see Karen and Kanbaru
to ask a few things.
[12:26] ---
If I have free time after that,
I'll go play with Oikura for a while.
[12:29] ---
The childhood friend aside,
concerning your little sister and Suruga...
[12:34] ---
You'll have to wait for them
to come home from high school.
[12:38] ---
Koyomin, you should go home
at some point to take a nap, okay?
[12:43] ---
Even vampiric bodies that don't think
all-nighters are hardships have their limits.
[12:57] ---
Hey, Karen.
[13:00] ---
By the way, there's something I'd like to ask
about Kanbaru's fan club.
[13:04] OS
KAREN ARARAGI
= MY YOUNGER SISTER (OLDER OF THE TWO)
[13:05] ---
You're too straight to the point.
I haven't even taken off my shoes yet.
[13:09] ---
Say "Welcome home" at least.
[13:11] ---
The main topic never starts with "by the way."
[13:14] ---
What happened to the preface?
[13:17] ---
So, what's up?
[13:23] ---
Kanbaru-sensei's fan club?
[13:26] ---
Have you heard anything lately,
like how it's starting up again recently?
[13:30] ---
No, I don't think there's anything like that.
[13:34] ---
Kanbaru-sensei, the person in question,
has already retired.
[13:37] ---
Fans easily fall in and out of love.
[13:41] ---
So it wasn't as easy as I thought.
[13:43] ---
Well, whether the perp is in the girls'
basketball team or the fan club...
[13:49] ---
It doesn't make a difference
in the fact that
[13:51] ---
there's a chance a vampire is nonchalantly
attending Naoetsu High School.
[13:56] ---
Karen, you're a high school girl now
as well, right?
[14:00] ---
What's this all of a sudden?
[14:02] ---
How is it, now that you're in high school?
Are things going well with your new friends?
[14:07] ---
I dunno what kind of school life
would depict things as "going well,"
[14:12] ---
but my new world is fun.
[14:15] ---
I wish I could go to school
on the weekends, too.
[14:19] ---
That's right.
Can I ask one more thing, Karen?
[14:22] ---
What?
[14:24] ---
The Fire Sisters that you and Tsukihi
were active in
[14:28] ---
broke up as soon as you graduated, right?
[14:31] ---
What happened to it afterwards?
[14:33] ---
What do you mean what happened?
I told you already.
[14:37] ---
Tsukihi is doing it by herself. She's doing
her best as Moonfire or something like that.
[14:42] ---
What I wanted to ask was,
just like the girls' basketball team,
[14:46] ---
what happened after Karen,
the central figure and core, had left.
[14:49] ---
What kind of change did the Tsuganoki
2nd Middle School community undergo?
[14:54] ---
Was there a turf war for the position of Tsukihi's
next partner, or a battle between factions?
[15:01] ---
I think our strategist Tsukihi
was doing really well regarding that.
[15:05] ---
Tsukihi, for better or for worse,
thinks she is special.
[15:10] ---
She thinks nobody else can do things
like she does, myself included.
[15:19] ---
My youngest sister's self-consciousness, and how
it is so excessive, makes me worry quite a bit.
[15:24] ---
But that's my opinion.
[15:26] ---
Kanbaru, typical of superstars made from effort,
has very low self-esteem,
[15:31] ---
"If I can do it, anyone can do it
with enough effort,"
[15:34] ---
is something
that she tends to believe in.
[15:37] ---
Though we know that Kanbaru
is not in the wrong,
[15:39] ---
the current climate of the girls' basketball team
has been created by such a faith in effort.
[15:47] OS
TRANSPORTING AN ANCIENT VAMPIRE
[15:51] ---
Hachikuji. Did your daytime stroll
have any results?
[15:55] ---
If you searched for it but couldn't find it,
[15:58] ---
that means that the fifth mummy
hasn't been created yet, I think?
[16:02] ---
We don't know about that.
[16:04] ---
I have just become a god,
so if my eyes
[16:06] ---
had reached every corner
of this town without any hitches,
[16:10] ---
an incident like this would have
never happened in the first place.
[16:13] ---
It's not that I regret allowing Ms. Suicide-Master
through without any security checks.
[16:19] ---
Well, of course.
[16:24] ---
Yes, hello?
[16:26] ---
Araragi is driving right now.
[16:28] ---
Yes... Yes...
[16:31] ---
Yes, I see. I understand.
I will tell him that.
[16:36] ---
What, was there a new development?
[16:39] ---
It's not development, but rather regression.
[16:42] ---
We'll leave the initials "F.C." aside.
[16:45] ---
They finished the steamrolling investigation.
[16:48] ---
But it seems everyone's safety
has been confirmed.
[16:52] ---
That's something amazing.
We finally got some good news coming in.
[16:56] ---
What part of this joyous news is regression?
[17:00] ---
The fact that they're safe
also means they are innocent.
[17:04] ---
As a result of the investigation,
[17:05] ---
we made it clear that none of the basketball team
members are vampires.
[17:14] ---
We're back to square one.
[17:17] ---
Okay. Here's the keys to the house.
You can use anything as you wish.
[17:24] ---
I decided to hold a pajama party
at Higasa's house tonight.
[17:29] ---
She's calling it a pajama party,
[17:31] ---
but in reality it seems the girls' basketball team
alumni are gathering
[17:36] ---
to brainstorm about the current state
of their underclassmen.
[17:39] ---
That's right, Kanbaru.
[17:41] ---
What is it?
[17:42] ---
There's one more favor
I'd like to ask of you.
[17:55] ---
Sorry to make you wait.
[17:58] ---
Well, let's begin.
[18:03] OS
SHOW MUST GO ON
[18:04] ---
I did a full lap and put up a barrier
around the entire mansion.
[18:08] ---
Even if we end up in a battle situation
by chance, we'll be all right.
[18:12] ---
I'd like to avoid that chance at all costs.
[18:15] ---
Anyway, Ms. Gaen.
What's with that large bottle?
[18:19] ---
I am a specialist after all.
[18:21] ---
Wine would be better for a vampire,
[18:26] ---
but I thought I'd stick with Japanese style and
provide sake as an offering for an oni devil.
[18:30] ---
But really. I didn't think I'd visit the Kanbaru house
that rejected my dearest big sister like this.
[18:38] ---
The wheel of fate spins round and round.
[18:47] ---
Hey, Lady Shinobu.
[18:53] ---
Oh, you mean me, my master?
[18:56] ---
I mean, my servant. What is it?
[18:59] ---
Patching things
just for the time being won't...
[19:02] ---
Oh well. So hey, Lady Shinobu, my master.
[19:06] ---
Is there something that I can inquire of you?
[19:10] ---
I hadn't thought too deeply
about this until now.
[19:14] ---
But what does it feel like
to live for 600 years?
[19:18] ---
I mean, if I'm allowed
to speak about myself...
[19:23] ---
I feel like there was quite a bit of transition
looking back just at the past year.
[19:28] ---
Speak normally. I have no idea
what you're talking about.
[19:32] ---
As you live, your opinions change,
[19:35] ---
your feelings change, you notice your mistakes,
you learn what is right, and all that.
[19:42] ---
"I don't need friends, because if I make friends,
my strength as a human decreases."
[19:45] ---
Back when I was saying that,
I really believed that to be true.
[19:50] OS
NO LECTURE
[19:50] ---
To be able to make friends
normally at college
[19:54] ---
was something
I would've never believed back then.
[19:57] ---
Even if you speak normally,
I still have no idea what you're talking about.
[20:03] ---
I've severed one past after another
if I couldn't remember it.
[20:08] ---
In the first place, apparitions are unchanging
and universal before they are immortal.
[20:11] OS
UNCHANGING
(fuhen)
[20:12] OS
UNIVERSAL
(fuhen)
[20:13] ---
They don't continually change
like humans do.
[20:18] ---
Then, I'll ask again what I asked you
back during that spring break.
[20:22] ---
Shinobu, to you...
[20:26] ---
What are humans to you?
[20:30] ---
Shinobu Oshino, before she became
Shinobu Oshino...
[20:35] ---
When she was Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
Heart-under-blade and still a vampire,
[20:40] ---
she immediately answered this question.
[20:44] ---
She immediately answered
the question as "Food."
[20:50] ---
One who devours.
[20:52] ---
One who slurps. One who crawls!
[20:56] ---
Now that the holy sun has gone down,
rip open that coffin and revive!
[21:01] ---
Stew flesh with blood,
and stir with bones!
[21:06] ---
Come together with the night...
[21:08] ---
Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master!
[22:46] ---
It seems I have died yet again.
[22:51] ---
Both of us have aged, haven't we?
[22:57] ---
The two young girls have been reunited
for the first time in 600 years.
[23:05] ---
UNHAPPY?
A troubled human child
[23:07] ---
UNLUCKY?
For the inhumane
[23:08] ---
BE HAPPY!
Aim timelessly
[23:10] ---
Because you're alive
[23:12] ---
A past that you looked away from too
[23:13] ---
A boring future too
[23:15] ---
Counseling
[23:16] ---
Oh man
[23:17] ---
All the times and places
Peace, peace
[23:18] ---
UNHAPPY?
[23:20] ---
UNLUCKY?
[23:22] ---
BE HAPPY!
[23:23] ---
UNDEAD
[23:31] ---
Cut in
Somehow, for some reason
[23:33] ---
In the mere future
[23:35] ---
I have a feeling that...
[23:37] ---
I can't have any hopes or expectations
[23:38] ---
I've lived long enough
[23:40] ---
I'm fed up with déjà vu
and the run-of-the-mill
[23:42] ---
There are no signs of wonderful occasions
[23:45] ---
That's too bad
[23:45] ---
It's the cause and effect
of accumulated experiences
[23:47] ---
Conventional myths and boring evolution
[23:49] ---
In other words, I need stimulation
[23:50] ---
I got tired of it
I got used to it
[23:51] ---
Just kidding
Guidance that gets adjusted
[23:54] ---
Compliance that increases
[23:55] ---
They seem to be shoved under the rug
[23:57] ---
I sucked it all
[23:59] ---
That, this and all of it
[24:01] ---
They all taste the same
[24:04] ---
UNDEAD
[24:04] ---
I'm not dead yet
[24:06] ---
A chain of you and you
[24:08] ---
To be alive is to keep changing
[24:11] ---
Don't be satisfied
With unhappiness
[24:15] ---
You're a coward if you don't try to be happy
[24:19] ---
This world and this world are
A strange, strange fantasy
[24:22] ---
Will a demon appear next or will a snake?
[24:25] ---
The story finally begins after meeting
[24:28] ---
Is it a human or monster?
[24:30] ---
Returning to the subject at hand
Peace, peace
