**[00:08] ---**
My vision...
**[00:10] ---**
It's all one big blur.
**[00:12] ---**
I feel... sick.
**[00:18] ---**
Noé, fall back!
Don't try to fight like that!
**[00:22] ---**
Huh? There is no way I'm leaving you here.
**[00:26] ---**
You're in no shape to worry about me!
**[00:29] ---**
You didn't heed my warning, you fool!
**[00:31] ---**
Every time you open your mouth,
it's impossible to follow.
**[00:35] ---**
It's always the same
old story with you, Vanitas!
**[00:38] ---**
One moment. What did you just say?
**[00:45] ---**
Vanitas?
**[00:47] ---**
Black hair and blue eyes.
**[00:51] ---**
Dear Vanitas?
**[00:53] ---**
What?
**[00:54] ---**
You're the one they call Vanitas?!
**[00:57] ---**
What the--?! Yes, it's me!
**[01:02] ---**
Dear God!
**[01:03] ---**
O Lord, I give thanks
for Thy guiding hand!
**[01:08] ---**
To think we'd meet so soon!
**[01:12] ---**
So the rumors about you
being used by vampires were true!
**[01:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[01:18] ---**
Did they coerce you into cooperating?
**[01:20] ---**
Are they holding a loved one hostage?!
**[01:22] ---**
Get off me!
**[01:23] ---**
This poor boy was forced to dwell
among vampires and the Blue Moon Clan.
**[01:29] ---**
What a pitiful creature.
**[01:36] ---**
You people will never change.
**[01:39] ---**
You cast pity where it's unwanted.
You don't realize you look down on others.
**[01:43] ---**
Listen here! I choose my
own path no matter what I do!
**[01:48] ---**
I consort with vampires.
**[01:50] ---**
I snuck into your lair.
**[01:52] ---**
And I just raked your face.
**[01:56] ---**
It was all of my own free will!
**[01:58] ---**
You fools may be slaves to
this god of yours, but not me!
**[02:11] ---**
You poor thing.
**[02:22] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:31] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[02:36] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[02:40] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[02:45] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[02:50] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[02:58] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[03:08] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[03:15] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[03:20] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[03:25] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[03:29] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[03:38] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[03:48] ---**
O Lord, I beseech Thee!
Have mercy upon him!
**[03:52] ---**
Surely he knows not what he does.
**[04:00] ---**
Open your eyes, Dear Vanitas.
**[04:02] ---**
The Word of God shall not reach your
soul if you turn your back on His light!
**[04:08] ---**
Forget your god for now and listen to me!
**[04:11] ---**
Look at me!
**[04:14] ---**
I want you to know God's love through me!
**[04:17] ---**
Huh?
**[04:18] ---**
It's all right. There is nothing to fear.
**[04:21] ---**
Though you have gone astray,
the Lord will never abandon you!
**[04:29] ---**
I shall not fail to save you
from the vampires' evil clutches.
**[04:34] ---**
You're creeping me out!
**[04:41] ---**
My vision's coming back.
**[04:44] ---**
Now I can do something.
**[04:46] ---**
It is time, Durandal!
**[04:48] ---**
Noé!
**[04:50] ---**
He's swift!
**[04:51] ---**
Chasseurs are no mere humans!
**[04:54] ---**
They use drugs to enhance
their combat prowess!
**[04:56] ---**
That explains it!
You could have told me sooner!
**[04:59] ---**
Will you ever learn?!
**[05:11] ---**
Impressive.
**[05:13] ---**
I've never seen a vampire move so
swiftly after being struck by that light.
**[05:18] ---**
Please, wait! Listen to me!
**[05:21] ---**
I already told you.
**[05:22] ---**
No vampire who sets foot
in here leaves this place alive.
**[05:27] ---**
Big city vampires never listen.
**[05:29] ---**
And you humans are no different!
**[05:34] ---**
I didn't see a lever
on the wall out there.
**[05:38] ---**
That means...
**[05:41] ---**
There!
**[05:46] ---**
I'm at a disadvantage here.
**[05:48] ---**
If I keep my distance and
wait for my strength to recover...
**[05:52] ---**
Trying to escape?
**[05:53] ---**
You coward!
**[05:59] ---**
You're not going anywhere...
**[06:01] ---**
...vampire!
**[06:21] ---**
If I deny him his weapon...!
**[06:35] ---**
What... in the devil... was that?
**[06:38] ---**
This ends now!
**[06:40] ---**
What the...?!
**[06:50] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[06:56] ---**
They got away.
**[06:59] ---**
Captain!
**[07:00] ---**
Ah, Maria, Georges.
**[07:02] ---**
Oh, no! You're bleeding!
**[07:05] ---**
Excellent timing. I got lost and
then ran into a pair of intruders.
**[07:12] ---**
One of them was a vampire.
**[07:17] ---**
Now then...
**[07:20] ---**
The hunt is on.
**[07:23] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[07:25] ---**
Where are you? Come out,
come out wherever you are!
**[07:28] ---**
Please, Captain. Lower your voice.
**[07:31] ---**
But Dear Vanitas might heed my call.
**[07:35] ---**
He's not going to answer!
**[07:37] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[07:39] ---**
Enough! Be silent!
**[07:40] ---**
He really does creep me out!
**[07:43] ---**
That Roland fellow...
**[07:45] ---**
You saw it didn't you?
Those eyes brimming with goodwill?
**[07:49] ---**
Such sanctimonious fools who won't accept
malice for what it is are the worst!
**[07:55] ---**
They twist every provocation and
rejection to suit their own needs.
**[08:05] ---**
Oh, forgive me.
**[08:08] ---**
I never thought that
you'd meet your match.
**[08:12] ---**
But I don't see the problem.
I've grown rather fond of him.
**[08:17] ---**
Whatever you say, Mr. Personality.
**[08:23] ---**
How are your eyes?
**[08:25] ---**
Much better now.
**[08:28] ---**
But the real and formulaic worlds
are still a mixed-up, sickening blur.
**[08:32] ---**
That light likely hinders the
function of a vampire's eyes,
**[08:37] ---**
thus preventing the
rewriting of the World Formula.
**[08:40] ---**
Noé, you enhance your body in combat.
**[08:44] ---**
What else can you do by
tampering with the World Formula?
**[08:48] ---**
If I try hard enough,
I can stand on a wall or ceiling.
**[08:54] ---**
Do you think you can defeat him?
**[09:05] ---**
I don't know, but...
**[09:08] ---**
We can win... if we work together.
**[09:24] ---**
Noé, I came here looking for someone.
**[09:28] ---**
His name is Moreau.
**[09:30] ---**
He was obsessed with vampire research.
**[09:32] ---**
His madness got him
expelled from the Chasseurs.
**[09:36] ---**
Look at this.
**[09:38] ---**
The button Dante took from that abductor?
**[09:41] ---**
Look at the other side.
**[09:45] ---**
Number 128?
**[09:48] ---**
It's a production number.
**[09:51] ---**
The recent abductions weren't
the work of ordinary Chasseurs.
**[09:57] ---**
They are enhanced humans,
the fruit of Moreau's human experiments.
**[10:02] ---**
They're his creations.
**[10:10] ---**
Now who do we have here?
**[10:12] ---**
The black-haired one seems familiar,
or am I just imagining things?
**[10:20] ---**
Vanitas?
**[10:22] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[10:24] ---**
That black-haired, blue-eyed lad
went by such a name.
**[10:32] ---**
Why, yes! Yes! I just remembered!
**[10:35] ---**
It *is* him! The lad from back then!
**[10:38] ---**
Welcome home! Welcome home! Welcome home!
**[10:42] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
robbed him from me!
**[10:45] ---**
He was my precious test subject!
**[10:58] ---**
All right, let's go, Noé.
**[11:02] ---**
I repeat, there are two intruders.
**[11:05] ---**
A blonde-haired vampire
and a black-haired human.
**[11:08] ---**
However, I want the
human taken alive at all costs.
**[11:12] ---**
Do *not* slay him.
**[11:17] ---**
To think two intruders
would trouble us so...
**[11:20] ---**
Olivier will have my head for this.
**[11:23] ---**
Captain, seeing as one of them
is Vanitas of the Blue Moon Clan,
**[11:28] ---**
should we have not reported that fact?
**[11:32] ---**
That's true!
**[11:33] ---**
Seriously?!
**[11:36] ---**
Oh, never mind.
I'll submit a full report later.
**[11:40] ---**
Now, let us go!
**[11:42] ---**
We have the home-field advantage!
**[11:45] ---**
This place will be your grave, vampire!
**[11:49] ---**
What the--?!
**[11:52] ---**
The automatons are attacking us?!
**[11:57] ---**
The astermite is glowing red.
I've never seen such a reaction.
**[12:01] ---**
Snap out of it. What happened here?
**[12:04] ---**
Captain, there's something
wrong with those two.
**[12:07] ---**
It's as if they know this labyrinth
like the back of their hand.
**[12:11] ---**
We were on their tail,
but they somehow circled behind us
**[12:15] ---**
and took us by surprise!
**[12:18] ---**
And that eldritch light...
**[12:21] ---**
It was as if we, the Chasseurs,
had gone from hunters to prey.
**[12:31] ---**
That book can even tamper with machines?
**[12:35] ---**
Not exactly.
**[12:37] ---**
It tampered with the astermite
powering the automatons.
**[12:41] ---**
Surely you understand why that's possible?
**[12:46] ---**
Don't tell me you rewrote its formula?!
**[12:49] ---**
Precisely. That stone has a conduit to
the World Formula, just as vampires do.
**[12:55] ---**
I simply used it.
**[12:56] ---**
What a pain. I thought we'd reach
our goal without crossing the Chasseurs.
**[13:02] ---**
Things never go as planned.
**[13:05] ---**
I've so many other questions.
**[13:07] ---**
How do you know this place so well
that you can bedevil the Chasseurs?
**[13:13] ---**
What is that man Moreau trying to achieve?
**[13:16] ---**
What is your connection to him?
**[13:19] ---**
And why is it that at times...
**[13:25] ---**
...you make that face?
**[13:27] ---**
Hey.
**[13:28] ---**
Quit making that face.
**[13:30] ---**
I always look like this!
**[13:33] ---**
Don't lie to me.
**[13:38] ---**
My parents were slain by a vampire.
**[13:41] ---**
What?
**[13:42] ---**
The Chasseurs saved me from the same fate.
**[13:45] ---**
And the Church began training me
to join them as a new recruit.
**[13:50] ---**
But before I was ready,
Moreau took notice of me,
**[13:53] ---**
and I became his guinea pig.
**[13:56] ---**
End of story.
**[14:00] ---**
End of... story?
**[14:03] ---**
Oh, and I spent years down here,
so I know it well.
**[14:07] ---**
It's as simple as that.
**[14:09] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[14:13] ---**
Why did he tell that story
as if it were someone else?
**[14:18] ---**
You don't hold a grudge against vampires?
**[14:23] ---**
The way I see it, humans and
vampires are much the same.
**[14:28] ---**
They're both truly monstrous
and endlessly selfish creatures.
**[14:37] ---**
There it is again!
Please don't make that face!
**[14:40] ---**
Keep your voice down!
**[14:42] ---**
Seeing you make
that face raises my hackles!
**[14:45] ---**
Yeah?! Well, sorry! I was born with it!
**[14:48] ---**
No, you weren't, you liar!
**[14:50] ---**
Why you...!
**[14:52] ---**
There you are, Dear Vanitas!
**[14:56] ---**
Noé! Close your eyes!
**[15:03] ---**
The security gate!
**[15:06] ---**
They will not escape! To the bypass!
**[15:08] ---**
Wait, Maria!
**[15:09] ---**
It's no use. The controls won't respond!
**[15:16] ---**
Now, listen carefully, Noé.
**[15:19] ---**
From this point, we have
to beat Roland without fighting.
**[15:23] ---**
Without fighting?
**[15:24] ---**
That's right. He's formidable.
**[15:27] ---**
He may be one of the
mightiest of the Chasseurs.
**[15:30] ---**
If we fight, we won't come out unscathed.
**[15:34] ---**
We're now making our way toward Moreau,
along with his enhanced humans.
**[15:40] ---**
The abducted vampires should
be there, too, if they yet live.
**[15:45] ---**
We can't afford to get wounded here.
**[15:48] ---**
This ends now.
**[15:56] ---**
That's no way to treat a lady!
**[15:59] ---**
A tasty little fly caught in our web.
**[16:02] ---**
We're taking her hostage!
**[16:04] ---**
Overruled!
**[16:05] ---**
I overrule your overruling!
**[16:07] ---**
Not this again?!
**[16:09] ---**
This is the swiftest way
to deal with men like Roland!
**[16:12] ---**
I'm against it!
**[16:14] ---**
It will dash any hope
of a peaceful resolution!
**[16:18] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:20] ---**
How can you still think like that?!
There *is* no peaceful resolution with him!
**[16:24] ---**
If we explain the situation and
clear up this misunderstanding--
**[16:28] ---**
This is what makes you people weak!
**[16:32] ---**
You have great power yet dig your
own graves by shackling yourselves.
**[16:37] ---**
Vanitas--
**[16:38] ---**
Enough! I'm done with you!
**[16:41] ---**
If you don't like my way of doing things,
you're free to go it alone!
**[16:46] ---**
Working with naive fools like you
will be the death of me someday!
**[16:52] ---**
Go make nice with your preachy pals,
you candied-brained, blood-sucking bat!
**[17:02] ---**
Message received, Vanitas.
**[17:05] ---**
I take back what I said.
**[17:07] ---**
We *are* going to take a hostage.
**[17:11] ---**
What?
**[17:20] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[17:21] ---**
Stay right where you are.
**[17:22] ---**
One false move and I'll snap
his bony neck in the wink of an eye.
**[17:27] ---**
Hey, you're stealing... my lines.
**[17:30] ---**
Foul vampire! How can you stoop so low?!
**[17:33] ---**
Please calm yourself, Captain!
It may very well be a trap!
**[17:37] ---**
Yes, but even so...!
**[17:39] ---**
What's gotten into you, you fool?!
**[17:42] ---**
He'll see through this act.
**[17:43] ---**
Act? You say the silliest things, Vanitas.
**[17:47] ---**
--Huh?
**[17:48] ---**
--Did I not tell you before?
--Huh?
**[17:49] ---**
--Did I not tell you before?
**[17:50] ---**
What?
**[17:51] ---**
We can win if we work together.
**[17:54] ---**
Those are some scary eyes!
**[17:56] ---**
Don't just stand there, Roland!
**[17:58] ---**
Hurry up and save me!
**[18:00] ---**
I'm serious! Please save me!
**[18:03] ---**
Are you saying it's all an act, Georges?
**[18:06] ---**
It's so hard to tell.
**[18:08] ---**
Vanitas, there is one thing
you said earlier that I agree with.
**[18:14] ---**
We must not let him deal the first blow.
**[18:17] ---**
With that in mind!
**[18:19] ---**
Wait! Stop!
**[18:21] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[18:26] ---**
Pardon me!
**[18:47] ---**
Pleased to meet you, Roland!
**[18:49] ---**
My name is Noé.
**[18:51] ---**
I came here with Vanitas to
investigate an incident of interest.
**[18:55] ---**
Noé, you fool.
Why are you introducing yourself?
**[18:58] ---**
First, please allow me to apologize
for entering your domain without leave.
**[19:04] ---**
However, I swear we did not slay
the men we took these clothes from,
**[19:09] ---**
nor did we harm them more than needed.
**[19:11] ---**
So, please! Will you not
hear what we have to say?!
**[19:17] ---**
What is wrong with you?
**[19:20] ---**
Captain!
**[19:23] ---**
Dr. Moreau yet lives!
**[19:28] ---**
Now, listen to what we have to say.
**[19:33] ---**
That *is* shocking news.
**[19:35] ---**
We cast out Dr. Moreau,
yet he's been operating under our noses?
**[19:42] ---**
And that's why vampires
are being abducted?
**[19:45] ---**
It's just a tall tale!
**[19:46] ---**
Is it not, Captain?
**[19:48] ---**
--I didn't want to explain about myself.
**[19:48] ---**
--No, it actually makes sense.
--I didn't want to explain about myself.
**[19:51] ---**
--There are no inconsistencies
in Vanitas's story.
--I didn't want to explain about myself.
**[19:51] ---**
--There are no inconsistencies
in Vanitas's story.
--Why you...!
**[19:52] ---**
--There are no inconsistencies
in Vanitas's story.
--I could've been killed
if things went south.
**[19:54] ---**
--But...
--I could've been killed
if things went south.
**[19:55] ---**
And what you just did?!
Were you trying to kill me?
**[19:58] ---**
What? I held back to make sure
you didn't break anything.
**[20:01] ---**
That's not the issue!
**[20:03] ---**
So are you really a vampire?
**[20:07] ---**
What?
**[20:07] ---**
Oh, it's merely, you're unlike
any vampire I've met before.
**[20:12] ---**
Obviously.
**[20:13] ---**
The Chasseurs only hunt the violent ones
who go rampaging through the human world.
**[20:19] ---**
I see. That explains it.
**[20:23] ---**
How interesting.
This is a truly intriguing find!
**[20:28] ---**
I've made up my mind!
**[20:29] ---**
My Dear Noé, let us be friends!
**[20:33] ---**
I want to learn everything about you!
**[20:36] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:38] ---**
Gladly!
**[20:41] ---**
That settles it.
**[20:43] ---**
I shall join you!
**[20:46] ---**
Wh-Wh-What has gotten into you, Captain?!
**[20:49] ---**
What? That matter concerning Moreau is
something the Chasseurs must deal with.
**[20:55] ---**
We must tell our superiors--
**[20:56] ---**
I'd rather die than team up with you!
Don't you dare follow us!
**[21:01] ---**
What a relief. He understood
once we explained the situation.
**[21:05] ---**
He really did understand!
**[21:08] ---**
But that begs the question...
**[21:10] ---**
Why didn't you explain why
you're here in the first place?
**[21:28] ---**
Vanitas.
**[21:30] ---**
We're here.
**[21:32] ---**
This is it.
**[21:42] ---**
Welcome! Or should I say, welcome home!
**[21:45] ---**
My Number 69!
**[21:49] ---**
Do you remember me?!
You remember me, don't you?!
**[21:53] ---**
It's Dr. Moreau!
**[21:58] ---**
Vanitas...
**[22:04] ---**
Dr. Moreau!
**[22:08] ---**
"Those Who Hunt Crimson"
**[23:42] ---**
"No. 69"
