[00:04] ---
TSUBASA
[00:30] ---
In the blackest darkness
[00:30] ---
Kuroi yami no naka
[00:35] ---
my first emotion
[00:35] ---
sotto saiteita
[00:42] ---
was blooming quietly
[00:42] ---
Hajimete no kokoro
[00:47] ---
I still cannot tell it to you yet today
[00:47] ---
Kyou mo ienai mama de
[00:53] ---
Pretending that I gave up on you
[00:53] ---
Akirameta furi wo shite
[00:59] ---
I still can’t help hoping
[00:59] ---
Kitai shite shimatte iru
[01:05] ---
“I can tell you, I can live with you”
[01:05] ---
Kimi ni nara kimi to nara
[01:11] ---
That’s why I am scared
[01:11] ---
Dakara koso obiete iru
[01:17] ---
That is a warm ray of light
[01:17] ---
Sore wa atatakana hikari
[01:27] ---
I don’t want to know yet
[01:27] ---
Kokoro no yukue wo
[01:32] ---
where my heart is heading
[01:32] ---
ima wa mada shiritaku nai
[01:53] ---
This isn't Hanekawa's room?
[02:55] ---
Big Brother, welcome ho...
[03:01] ---
There were as many as six rooms.
[03:03] ---
But in that house, there wasn't a room
for Hanekawa Tsubasa anywhere.
[03:08] ---
Hanekawa, you can't take
that anymore, can you?
[03:11] ---
Nothing could be done. Fixing it's
impossible. In a word, madness!
[03:16] ---
That house... That family... That household...
[03:19] ---
It's already past the point
of no return. It's done for!
[03:25] ---
Gosh, you're a mess, Big Brother.
There, there. You were scared, huh?
[03:30] ---
Go ahead.
[03:32] ---
That's gross!
[03:35] ---
Is that any way to treat my devotion?
[03:38] ---
It's educational guidance! How much
are you sisters living in that moment?
[03:42] ---
It can't be helped!
Because I'm your little sister!
[03:46] ---
Even so, you worried me.
[03:50] ---
Because you didn't come home at all.
[03:55] ---
Huh?
[03:56] ---
Karen-chan and I were worried you may
have run into a ghost or something.
[04:02] ---
Ghost?
[04:03] ---
Yeah, more like
a monster cat though...
[04:06] ---
Monster cat?
[04:08] ---
Yup, it's only a rumor,
so I can't say much, but...
[04:12] ---
...apparently, a cat ghost
in the form of a human
[04:15] ---
is assaulting people all over town.
[04:18] ---
ENERGY DRAIN
[04:19] ---
When did that story start?
[04:21] ---
The rumor came
my way this afternoon.
[04:25] ---
That's why I was worried about
you and called you like a madman.
[04:30] ---
When I found out you
weren't involved, I felt relieved...
[04:34] ---
...but in this situation, as heroes of justice,
the Fire Sisters can't keep quiet.
[04:39] ---
Karen-chan's preparing to hunt
the monster cat now!
[04:43] ---
Well...
[04:45] ---
What's wrong?
What do you mean, "Well"?
[04:47] ---
Well, I was thinking
I don't know what to do.
[04:51] ---
Riding my bike at night
was scary enough, but...
[04:55] ---
...hearing about a scary
monster cat has me shivering,
[05:00] ---
and as a chicken,
I can't sleep alone.
[05:01] ---
So I was thinking maybe you
and Karen-chan could sleep with me...
[05:06] ---
...but if you're going out for justice,
I guess I'll have to give up.
[05:11] ---
You were my only hope though...
[05:13] ---
What? We were your only hope?
I guess it can't be helped!
[05:17] ---
You're so scared I feel sorry
for you, so I'll convince Karen-chan!
[05:22] ---
We'll leave the monster-cat
hunt to the police!
[05:26] ---
Thanks.
[05:30] ---
With the random energy draining,
I don't get what the Sawari Neko's after.
[05:35] ---
But do I have the right to know?
[05:38] ---
Before that, do I think
I want to know about that?
[05:42] ---
I trespassed on the Hanekawas, discovered their
state of affairs, and lost my composure that much.
[05:48] ---
Maybe there are things in life
I don't have to know about.
[05:54] ---
If I'm going to arbitrarily admire her and get
disillusioned, maybe I shouldn't know about it.
[06:01] ---
Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so
deeply involved with Hanekawa back then.
[06:06] ---
I shouldn't have worried about the gauze.
But that's just picking and choosing.
[06:13] ---
I just want to like,
have hope for, and admire her.
[06:17] ---
She helped me so much
during spring break...
[06:23] ---
No matter how hard I thought,
I just couldn't understand.
[06:25] ---
The only thing that was clear was the
fact that I didn't know anything about her.
[06:32] ---
If this is love, it's foolish.
[06:34] ---
After the talk I had with Tsukihi,
I just felt so embarrassed.
[06:39] ---
But when I think about
Hanekawa even now,
[06:45] ---
my heart feels like it's
going to be ripped apart.
[06:49] ---
MAY 1ST
[06:52] ---
May 1st and also May 2nd...
[06:56] ---
...Hanekawa didn't come to school.
[06:58] ---
MAY 2ND, SATURDAY
[06:58] ---
After school on the 2nd,
rumors of the monster cat had spread...
[07:00] ---
NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL
[07:04] ---
...including a few sightings too.
[07:06] ---
I could guess the Sawari Neko's activities.
[07:10] ---
Before vacation started back up
the next day on May 3rd,
[07:13] ---
I went to the vacant building
Oshino lived in.
[07:18] ---
O-Oshino?
[07:20] ---
Hey, Araragi-kun, I was waiting.
[07:24] ---
I figured you'd be here soon.
[07:27] ---
I was hoping to be healed by then.
[07:30] ---
I used those miraculous
bandages on you the other day.
[07:35] ---
Oshino, what happened?
[07:37] ---
What happened, you ask?
Nothing in particular.
[07:41] ---
I just lost.
[07:42] ---
Y-You lost? To what?
[07:44] ---
BLACK SCENE
[07:45] ---
What else?
[07:46] ---
To the Sawari Neko.
[07:49] ---
Counting the night of
April 30th, in the past 3 days...
[07:52] ---
...we battled about 20 times,
and I lost about 20 times.
[07:57] ---
So you completely lost!
[07:59] ---
A complete loss.
I'm a mere shadow of myself.
[08:03] ---
Man, a high schooler in lingerie
is temptation to an old man's eyes.
[08:08] ---
I was so preoccupied by that,
I couldn't really battle.
[08:13] ---
Man, sucking up the vitality of a middle-aged
man whose energy is completely exhausted...
[08:20] ---
Th-The Sawari Neko is that strong an apparition
that a pro like you got overwhelmed?
[08:26] ---
No, that's not it. I mentioned it
the other day too.
[08:31] ---
They're no match for
your vampire attacker.
[08:34] ---
It's more like they're a lower-class
apparition not even worth the comparison.
[08:40] ---
Huh? You said there was
a disparity compared to vampires...
[08:44] ---
...but not that it
was a low-class apparition.
[08:48] ---
If I had, you would've said you could help
too. That's why I didn't tell you that much.
[08:56] ---
They're actually at a level that, depending on how
you play your cards, you can easily beat them.
[09:04] ---
But...
[09:04] ---
Of course, I didn't go easy on it.
I tackled it full force.
[09:10] ---
But I lost.
[09:13] ---
Sawari Neko are small fries.
[09:15] ---
They pretend to be dead on the
road and haunt sympathizers.
[09:19] ---
A substitution-type ghost.
The type that takes over bodies.
[09:23] ---
Then they slam the body's owner to
the abyss of sorrow like the god of poverty.
[09:29] ---
You could say they're
like a template of a ghost.
[09:34] ---
BLACK SCENE
[09:35] ---
But the fact it was Class Prez who's been
haunted was the one irregularity of this situation.
[09:42] ---
Even though it's usually a small fry,
[09:44] ---
she's pulling the Sawari Neko up to
its strongest, rivaling even vampires.
[09:51] ---
What's not good is it's sharing
knowledge more than the body.
[09:56] ---
My ancient anti-apparition
strategies, techniques, and methods...
[10:01] ---
Everything's completely overturned.
[10:03] ---
She knows all the professional knowledge
that the pros have.
[10:07] ---
She knows everything.
[10:10] ---
I've never heard of an apparition that
attacks humans with strategy and tactics.
[10:17] ---
I was aware of it from the start,
but she really is no ordinary person.
[10:22] ---
The skills she attacks
with aren't an apparition's.
[10:26] ---
Wait a second.
The skills she attacks with?
[10:29] ---
Oshino, that's like saying Hanekawa
is proactively attacking people.
[10:33] ---
Well, that's most likely it.
[10:36] ---
They shouldn't be that
kind of apparition though.
[10:40] ---
But, Araragi-kun, it may not be such a bad
thing that I'm having this much trouble.
[10:47] ---
This development shows that Class Prez
still exists inside of the Sawari Neko.
[10:53] ---
That's how I'm taking it. If Class Prez
indeed wasn't inside there anymore...
[10:58] ---
...and her body and knowledge were all
taken over, this wouldn't have happened.
[11:03] ---
A good amount of her consciousness
most likely exists inside the Sawari Neko.
[11:08] ---
That's why it's tough.
[11:11] ---
While this is terrible information,
it also has an element of relief.
[11:16] ---
Why? Where is there relief?
[11:19] ---
Because if she'd been completely
taken over, then that'd be the end.
[11:24] ---
We'd have to kill her.
[11:27] ---
We have to salvage Class Prez's
consciousness while it still exists.
[11:32] ---
If we don't hunt the monster cat...
[11:34] ---
...your precious friend named Hanekawa Tsubasa
will be completely gone from this world.
[11:45] ---
There was a dead
white cat on the street.
[11:47] ---
A man who felt bad for the cat
buried it and then prayed for it.
[11:54] ---
Starting that night,
he started to act eccentrically.
[11:58] ---
Those around him couldn't
stand it, so they gave up
[12:01] ---
and called a shaman to
drive away the monster cat.
[12:05] ---
But here's the punch line.
Sawari Neko's true value.
[12:08] ---
There never was a cat haunting
this good man in the first place.
[12:14] ---
BLACK SCENE
[12:17] ---
I don't know if it's an irrational
punch line or a surprise one,
[12:21] ---
but this is an apparition story
with a moral.
[12:23] ---
No person exists that is just virtuous, and
kindness is only something piled on the outside.
[12:30] ---
There's always something behind it.
If there's light, there's darkness.
[12:34] ---
If there's white, there's black.
[12:36] ---
The story itself clearly
shows the other side of humans.
[12:39] ---
But why is it a cat?
[12:41] ---
Because cats are something
you "disguise" yourself with.
[12:45] ---
Meaning Class Prez has been
disguised as a good person.
[12:48] ---
There are no humans with
just virtue and fairness.
[12:52] ---
Rather, they try to be that
and just build up stress.
[12:56] ---
Black as black.
[12:58] ---
Even then, cats are just masks,
but for some reason...
[13:02] ---
...Class Prez is completely
integrated with the Sawari Neko.
[13:07] ---
If the cat is her real form,
it's more absorption than integration.
[13:11] ---
It's seriously a strong enemy.
Or maybe more like invincible.
[13:16] ---
If we don't end this quickly, it'll be bad.
[13:19] ---
Otherwise, we may end up
with the same punch line,
[13:23] ---
"she wasn't being haunted
by a cat from the beginning."
[13:27] ---
We have to do something before Class Prez
and the cat completely fuse together.
[13:32] ---
MAY 3RD, CONSTITUTIONAL MEMORIAL DAY
[13:38] ---
NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL
[13:44] ---
RED SCENE
[14:15] ---
The truth is that the honorable
giant breasts of Lady Hanekawa
[14:18] ---
are always being pressed
against this desk.
[14:27] ---
Are you a pervert
without a credit limit, meow?
[14:30] ---
Scary... Scarier than an apparition.
[14:32] ---
You were aroused
by licking a girl's desk.
[14:36] ---
N-No!
[14:38] ---
More importantly,
h-how did you come in and from where?
[14:41] ---
More importantly?
[14:43] ---
Human, nothing's more important than you
licking my mistress's desk, meow!
[14:48] ---
I have no idea what you're talking about!
Regardless, I'd never admit anything in court!
[14:54] ---
NYAHAHAHA
[14:59] ---
What? That didn't seem
like animosity, human.
[15:03] ---
I can't do anything
about you anyway, cat.
[15:08] ---
Plus, it's not like
you'll take my life, right?
[15:11] ---
Well, we'll see about that, meow.
[15:15] ---
My energy drain isn't
a skill. It's a character setting.
[15:19] ---
It's not something I can control.
Even if I go easy, I can't control the degree.
[15:24] ---
Even if I don't mean to,
there's still a chance I could kill you.
[15:29] ---
Even so, it's a little better that you
didn't immediately bite and scratch me.
[15:34] ---
If you did that, I'd be helpless.
[15:37] ---
NYAHAHAHA
VAMPIRE
[15:37] ---
A vampire, huh?
[15:39] ---
Well, they're a superior apparition
I couldn't normally fight.
[15:43] ---
But my mistress's
tactics and strategies...
[15:46] ---
...let me become an entity who
can overwhelm even a specialist.
[15:51] ---
I'm grateful for that, meow.
[15:55] ---
I don't return favors.
I'm more the type that returns evil for good...
[16:01] ---
...but in this case, I thought maybe I should
return the favor due to my gratefulness.
[16:05] ---
VAMPIRE
[16:06] ---
BLACK SCENE
[16:10] ---
Even if we have this
energy drain trait,
[16:14] ---
I'm sure a Sawari Neko's
and a vampire's are different.
[16:17] ---
A vampire's energy drain is their meal...
[16:19] ---
MEAL
[16:20] ---
...while a Sawari Neko's is a curse.
[16:21] ---
CURSE
[16:23] ---
Well, that's right, meow.
[16:24] ---
But what I don't get is why
you're attacking people left and right.
[16:29] ---
Speaking of types, a Sawari Neko isn't normally
the type of apparition that attacks people, right?
[16:38] ---
Hey, cat, are you...
[16:42] ---
Well, it's for amusement's sake.
[16:46] ---
The reason for attacking people.
It's just amusement.
[16:50] ---
Like ding-dong ditch!
Like graffiti on a wall! It's the same as those!
[16:54] ---
It's to relieve stress!
[16:57] ---
To relieve stress, you say?
[16:59] ---
That's... Wait, what do you mean?
[17:02] ---
No specific meaning.
It meant exactly what you heard.
[17:06] ---
You saw the inside of that house, right?
[17:09] ---
That house?
[17:10] ---
My mistress's.
[17:12] ---
I already know.
Cats have a pretty good sense of smell.
[17:16] ---
When I went home to change,
the house was filled with your scent.
[17:20] ---
BLACK SCENE
[17:23] ---
BLACK SCENE
[17:23] ---
In that house and that family,
my mistress spent 15 years there.
[17:28] ---
Can't you just imagine what kind
of pressure was torturing her there?
[17:34] ---
I am relieving that by playing pranks
on those random good citizens.
[17:39] ---
That's all there is to it. My actions
disregard harming or cursing, meow.
[17:45] ---
Disregard...
[17:46] ---
Apparitions do that?
[17:48] ---
I'm a possession-type apparition
taking over my mistress's body.
[17:52] ---
Meaning I've taken over her brain...
[17:55] ---
That's why I know how my mistress
spent the last 15 years in that house.
[18:00] ---
That's why I'm giving her
a hand in relieving all that stress.
[18:05] ---
But if that's the case,
you don't have to attack unrelated people.
[18:10] ---
Unfortunately this is
the only way I know.
[18:13] ---
Evil deeds are fun, meow. It's fun because
strangers you don't know are troubled.
[18:18] ---
It's neither a reason nor a quibble.
[18:21] ---
At the very least, for a character
that's taken a turn for the worse,
[18:24] ---
aren't I a little
rounded out now?
[18:28] ---
Compared to the time
I ripped off your arm.
[18:33] ---
I've thought about that.
[18:35] ---
Right?
[18:36] ---
Which means what
I'm doing is working.
[18:40] ---
That's how it is, so relax.
[18:42] ---
After we attack 500 more people,
all her stress should be gone.
[18:46] ---
If that happens, the apparition that I am will
finish my role and repay her, and disappear.
[18:52] ---
So tell that man in the
Hawaiian shirt not to get in my way.
[18:57] ---
I don't really understand,
but he wants to help my mistress, right?
[19:01] ---
Then just leave that to me.
[19:08] ---
Why are you going that far?
[19:10] ---
You're just an evil spirit that
decided to haunt her.
[19:14] ---
There should be no reason
to actively do something for her.
[19:18] ---
Haven't I said it many times already?
It's not like me, but it's to return the favor.
[19:23] ---
That's actually a lie, meow.
[19:26] ---
To be honest, I don't feel any
reason to return the favor...
[19:31] ---
...other than being
given all that knowledge.
[19:34] ---
What are you saying? When you were
killed by a car, Hanekawa buried you.
[19:40] ---
Weren't you supposed to be taking
advantage of her kindness and sympathy?
[19:44] ---
No, that's not so. As a phenomenon,
that is indeed what happened.
[19:50] ---
My mistress picked me up from the ground,
went to a spot with a nice view, and buried me.
[19:56] ---
Make no mistake, I recognize that.
[20:00] ---
THE CAT'S GRAVE
[20:01] ---
My mistress had absolutely
no sympathy towards me.
[20:06] ---
She held a service for me, dead
on the road, like it was routine work.
[20:11] ---
With no emotion whatsoever...
She didn't have any sympathy for me.
[20:16] ---
In other words, there was no space
for me to take advantage of.
[20:19] ---
But Hanekawa is...
[20:22] ---
To be an ordinary girl
is my mistress's one and only wish.
[20:27] ---
"If you see a dead cat
on the street, bury them."
[20:30] ---
Well, you could say that's the right thing.
We could call it a rule. A formula.
[20:35] ---
Meaning my mistress abided by
that rule and formula. That's all.
[20:40] ---
If she was an ordinary person, she
wouldn't follow such rules and formulas.
[20:45] ---
Even if people know it's the right and beautiful
thing to do, most of them won't bury a dead cat.
[20:52] ---
HANEKAWA TSUBASA
[20:53] ---
They may think it, but they won't act.
[20:56] ---
They can't do it emotionally or physically,
but Hanekawa does it just like that.
[21:01] ---
HANEKAWA WILL
[21:02] ---
NEVER BE ABLE TO
[21:02] ---
BE AN ORDINARY GIRL.
[21:02] ---
Right, she did.
With no emotion.
[21:06] ---
She's able to be moral without
thinking, like a machine.
[21:10] ---
Even for me, who's been buried
many times, she was unique.
[21:14] ---
IT WAS JUST SO DARK
[21:15] ---
That's why...
[21:16] ---
IT WAS JUST SO BLACK
[21:16] ---
...I wanted to help her.
[21:20] ---
CLASSROOM
[21:22] ---
In short, it was on a whim.
That's like a cat, right?
[21:30] ---
So make sure to tell that Hawaiian-shirt
guy to let some cat's mischief slide...
[21:36] ---
...if he doesn't want to be sued for animal abuse.
Because I'm overlooking it.
[21:42] ---
What do you mean?
[21:43] ---
DON'T YOU GET IT?
[21:44] ---
Don't you get it?
[21:45] ---
If I was...
[21:45] ---
IF I WAS
[21:46] ---
MORE LIKE, IF MY MISTRESS WAS
[21:46] ---
More like, if my mistress was...
[21:48] ---
SERIOUS
[21:48] ---
...serious about causing harm,
[21:49] ---
ABOUT CAUSING
[21:50] ---
HARM
[21:52] ---
we would've killed him
the first time.
[21:55] ---
Because he's an acquaintance,
we're holding back.
[21:59] ---
You're... Well, you seem to have
no intention of doing anything.
[22:10] ---
Well, you are correct.
[22:13] ---
If you're thinking of my mistress,
not doing anything is correct.
[22:17] ---
It's not like you want
to die or anything, right?
[22:22] ---
See you. You should, well,
work hard and live in happiness, human.
[22:29] ---
Wait!
[22:32] ---
If your purpose is Hanekawa's
stress relief, then that's impossible.
[22:38] ---
Why's that, meow?
[22:40] ---
Because the main cause
is Hanekawa's parents, right?
[22:44] ---
Even if it's all been relieved, once she goes
back to that house, it will build up again.
[22:50] ---
Even if you attack 500 strangers
and keep relieving the stress for a month...
[22:54] ---
...eventually, it will be of no use.
[22:58] ---
Yeah, that's right.
[23:00] ---
Then I'll torture them to the point
that they'll never come back.
[23:06] ---
This time, it won't just be
the energy drain.
[23:09] ---
I'll answer domestic violence
with domestic violence.
[23:13] ---
If that's my mistress's wish.
[23:17] ---
That's...
[23:21] ---
That's right. That's the answer.
The moment you touch, harm will happen.
[23:25] ---
Hence, "Sawari Neko" (harmful cat).
Keep away. Not even a finger...
[23:30] ---
It's best not to have any
connection with me, and most likely...
[23:35] ---
...even with my mistress.
[23:38] ---
Cat, you're...
[23:40] ---
See you. You live happily now.
[24:06] ---
It's no good.
[24:08] ---
I really do like Hanekawa.
[24:11] ---
I like her so much that
I can't even touch her.
[24:15] ---
I like her.
[24:16] ---
I thought, "Maybe I like her." I felt, "I like her."
And I've realized that I like her.
[24:22] ---
But it's exactly as Tsukihi-chan said.
[24:25] ---
I like her so much I can't stand it,
but this feeling isn't love.
[24:32] ---
RED SCENE
[24:32] ---
It's completely surpassed love.
[24:34] ---
BLACK SCENE
[24:35] ---
NYAHAHAHA
VAMPIRE
SAWARI NEKO
I LIKE HANEKAWA
[24:36] ---
BLACK SCENE
[24:37] ---
It's more than "I want to be
with her for the rest of my life."
[24:41] ---
Because I think
I would die for Hanekawa.
[25:06] ---
Even so, we may laugh sensibly
[25:06] ---
Sore demo bokutachi wa shimeshi awaseta youni
[25:11] ---
as if we planned in advance
[25:11] ---
Monowakari yoku warau darou
[25:17] ---
replacing our sighs with deep breaths,
[25:17] ---
Tameiki wa sonomama shinkokyuu ni kaete
[25:22] ---
without making excuse
for any awkwardness
[25:22] ---
Tsutanasa no iiwake mo sezu ni
[25:27] ---
I will keep on waiting
until you wish for something
[25:27] ---
Kimi ga nozomu koto wo zutto matte iruyo
[25:38] ---
If I said it’s not too late,
do I sound like I’m lying?
[25:38] ---
Mada maniau to ieba uso ni naruno kana
[25:48] ---
It’s not that I want to be saved
[25:48] ---
Sukuware tai wake ja nai
[25:51] ---
It’s not that I want to be rewarded
[25:51] ---
Mukuware tai wake ja nai
[25:54] ---
All I want is to scream, broken as I am
[25:54] ---
Koware souni tada sakebitai dake
[25:59] ---
That’s what I am always praying for
[25:59] ---
Itsu datte negatterunda
[26:02] ---
Bittersweet interference
[26:02] ---
Horo nigai INTERFERENCE
[26:05] ---
A daydream which vanishes
on the borderline when touched
[26:05] ---
Kyoukaisenjou de fureta kieru DAYDREAM
[26:19] ---
Time for a preview hallucination.
[26:21] ---
Though they are not immortal,
[26:24] ---
the planarian regenerates its body no matter
how many pieces you hack it into. It's extraordinary!
[26:28] ---
But if we vampires regenerate in the same way,
that'd be even more extraordinary.
[26:32] ---
If an arm gets ripped off,
a new arm grows out of the body
[26:34] ---
and a new body grows from the arm—
there'd be two bodies!
[26:37] ---
So, in the blink of an eye, the whole earth
could be covered in me and my little servant.
[26:42] ---
Next episode, "Tsubasa Family, Part 4."
[26:45] ---
Just this time alone, I wonder
how many more of us there would be?
