[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?
