00:06.529 --> 00:08.448
[News] In a still
developing story,

00:08.573 --> 00:11.159
early this morning multiple
decapitated human remains

00:11.284 --> 00:13.619
were discovered in a quiet
residential neighborhood.

00:13.745 --> 00:15.496
The shocking finding
is the latest

00:15.621 --> 00:16.831
in a string of grisly murders.

00:17.165 --> 00:19.834
So far, the police
investigation hasn't determined

00:19.959 --> 00:22.378
whether it's the work
of a single individual or not.

00:23.337 --> 00:25.548
Is it safe
to say mononoke are behind this?

00:25.673 --> 00:27.175
Yeah, most likely.

00:27.300 --> 00:28.384
Now, wait a second.

00:28.509 --> 00:30.428
Why're you lounging
around here with us?

00:30.553 --> 00:31.387
Your work's done!

00:31.512 --> 00:32.680
Go the hell home!

00:33.723 --> 00:35.850
News flash: I decide
where I wanna be.

00:36.642 --> 00:37.685
You know what?!

00:38.394 --> 00:39.645
In case you forgot,

00:39.771 --> 00:41.689
your little magical
lotus nearly killed me!

00:41.814 --> 00:42.607
[Fuyo] I told you!

00:42.732 --> 00:44.400
I had nothing to do with that!

00:44.525 --> 00:45.610
[Jiro] And who
ever said that

00:45.735 --> 00:47.570
you could eat my
shrimp crackers, huh?!

00:47.695 --> 00:50.239
[Fuyo] You shoulda written your
name on the bag or something!

00:50.364 --> 00:51.324
[Jiro] It's right there!

00:53.242 --> 00:55.703
(Rago yawns)

00:55.828 --> 00:58.331
You know, I was wondering,

00:58.456 --> 01:00.625
why do mononoke eat
humans, anyway?

01:01.542 --> 01:03.795
It took you this long to ask?!

01:03.795 --> 01:06.714
Well look, this freak's
eating people food.

01:07.298 --> 01:08.716
Obviously, it's not like humans

01:09.050 --> 01:10.718
are the only thing
we're allowed to eat.

01:11.177 --> 01:13.846
However, if we really
want to power up,

01:13.971 --> 01:16.432
mononoke need what's called
humans' "vital energy."

01:17.225 --> 01:18.476
[Jiro] Oh, yeah.

01:18.601 --> 01:19.727
That Amagi guy in Rago's memory

01:20.103 --> 01:22.230
was talking about
something like that.

01:23.356 --> 01:25.483
Which means the
mononoke have begun

01:25.608 --> 01:27.401
stockpiling power again.

01:28.486 --> 01:30.321
- [Announcer] This just in.
- Huh?

01:30.446 --> 01:32.406
All roads in and
out of Hirasaka

01:32.532 --> 01:34.117
have been closed
for the time being.

01:36.327 --> 01:37.703
(♪ "Freeze Me Up" by SiM)

01:37.829 --> 01:42.750
(♪ singing in Japanese)

03:07.168 --> 03:08.961
[Toko] Come on.
Spill it, already.

03:09.295 --> 03:12.006
These mysterious deaths are
keeping us busy enough as it is.

03:13.132 --> 03:15.760
Surely you didn't have me
come all the way out here

03:15.885 --> 03:18.262
just to show me this piece
of shit report, now, did you?

03:18.387 --> 03:19.639
Piece of shit?

03:19.764 --> 03:21.807
You're the one who told me
to start their training.

03:21.933 --> 03:24.101
Look, can you please
just get to the point?

03:27.230 --> 03:28.898
Interesting.

03:29.023 --> 03:32.360
So this Amagi's a mononoke
from Rago's past.

03:32.485 --> 03:34.737
Got your attention now, huh?

03:34.862 --> 03:35.821
What do you say?

03:35.947 --> 03:37.615
Can we just forget about that

03:37.740 --> 03:39.492
little incident back
at the shrine?

03:39.742 --> 03:41.535
Huh, so that's what this is?

03:42.828 --> 03:44.288
Well, there's something else.

03:45.331 --> 03:47.541
This new homicide investigation.

03:47.667 --> 03:48.876
Let my team in on it, too.

03:49.001 --> 03:50.419
Sorry, no.

03:50.544 --> 03:51.879
Just hear me out.

03:52.213 --> 03:54.674
They've done more
than just get their feet wet.

03:54.799 --> 03:56.592
They've produced real results.

03:56.717 --> 03:58.761
Besides, aren't we supposed
to handle cases

03:58.886 --> 04:00.888
that involve mononoke.

04:01.514 --> 04:02.932
I mean, it just makes sense.

04:03.266 --> 04:05.184
They're more than ready
to handle this job.

04:05.559 --> 04:06.978
And if they let you down,

04:07.311 --> 04:09.438
I give you permission
to fire my ass.

04:09.563 --> 04:11.190
(phone buzzes)

04:11.315 --> 04:12.191
TOKIEDA

04:14.568 --> 04:17.029
Tokieda, what is it?

04:17.822 --> 04:18.781
What?!

04:19.448 --> 04:20.616
Okay.

04:20.741 --> 04:21.993
I'm heading back right now.

04:23.661 --> 04:25.037
What was that about?

04:26.497 --> 04:30.418
You know, uh, my offer
to help still stands.

04:32.878 --> 04:35.464
[Reporter] We're live
here in Hirasaka.

04:35.589 --> 04:37.466
As you can see, just
on the other side

04:37.591 --> 04:39.051
of the bridge, a thick,
fog-like substance

04:39.385 --> 04:41.012
has completely hidden
the town beyond.

04:41.554 --> 04:43.055
Police are looking
into the possibility

04:43.389 --> 04:44.807
of a chemical attack.

04:44.932 --> 04:46.767
For the moment, the perimeter
has been cordoned off

04:46.892 --> 04:48.352
and is closed to the public.

04:48.769 --> 04:50.813
Helicopter's headed to the west.

04:50.938 --> 04:53.024
Have them board it and
evacuate immediately.

04:53.357 --> 04:54.608
Whoa. No way.

04:54.734 --> 04:56.527
They're all from the Bureau?

04:56.652 --> 04:57.778
Well,
anyone who's wearing a suit

04:57.903 --> 05:00.448
and an earpiece is, at least.

05:00.573 --> 05:02.658
That said, their
responsibilities begin and end

05:02.783 --> 05:04.660
with issues involving humans.

05:04.994 --> 05:07.413
It's no wonder
that everyone's worked up.

05:07.580 --> 05:09.707
Mononoke incidents are rare.

05:09.832 --> 05:12.543
And we haven't had a really
major one for decades now.

05:12.752 --> 05:14.837
Which means there's
hardly anyone left

05:14.962 --> 05:16.964
capable of handling 'em
when they do occur.

05:17.381 --> 05:19.008
It's your lucky day, team.

05:19.342 --> 05:21.719
It's time for Black
Torch to get to work.

05:21.844 --> 05:23.429
[Jiro] What's that mean, exactly?

05:23.763 --> 05:25.514
Let me give you the lowdown.

05:26.140 --> 05:28.934
The entire town
of Hirasaka has been affected.

05:29.435 --> 05:31.771
All roads in and out
have been blocked off.

05:31.896 --> 05:34.023
We don't know what's
happening inside the fog.

05:34.357 --> 05:36.442
We do know that a
mononoke's behind this,

05:36.567 --> 05:38.652
and civilians
are trapped inside.

05:38.778 --> 05:39.904
The fog is dense,

05:40.029 --> 05:42.490
but your Espionage Gear's
Spectral Neutralizer

05:42.615 --> 05:44.742
should help you break
through with no difficulty.

05:45.451 --> 05:47.286
We've got three main objectives.

05:47.578 --> 05:49.038
One, save survivors.

05:49.372 --> 05:50.581
Two: diffuse the fog.

05:50.706 --> 05:52.666
And three, disarm and
capture any enemies

05:52.792 --> 05:53.793
that you encounter.

05:54.460 --> 05:55.669
[Ichika] Capture?

05:55.795 --> 05:57.546
[Ryosuke] Plus, I
suspect there's someone

05:57.671 --> 05:59.632
pulling the strings
from behind the scenes.

05:59.757 --> 06:02.093
If we have a chance
to get a lead on them, take it.

06:02.426 --> 06:05.054
I'll take responsibility
for what happens here.

06:05.179 --> 06:07.723
I'm counting on you three
to infiltrate that fog.

06:08.015 --> 06:09.892
As you'll soon find out,

06:10.017 --> 06:12.728
ordinary means of communication
won't work inside it.

06:12.853 --> 06:15.481
[Ichika] So how are we supposed
to stay in contact, Chief?

06:15.689 --> 06:17.691
(Fuyo chuckles)

06:17.817 --> 06:19.902
On it! You're
lucky that I'm here!

06:20.027 --> 06:22.113
You still haven't left?
What's the problem?

06:22.238 --> 06:23.197
Why, you little!

06:23.322 --> 06:24.490
IRK

06:24.698 --> 06:26.700
[Reiji] All right then,
so how's this going to work?

06:27.785 --> 06:30.287
[Fuyo] There's one for each of
you. Swallow 'em whole.

06:31.330 --> 06:33.833
Each petal is like
a transmitter.

06:33.958 --> 06:36.168
They send info right
to this lotus.

06:36.502 --> 06:38.170
The entire system is voiceless.

06:38.504 --> 06:40.089
Seriously? Eat this?

06:40.423 --> 06:42.091
I don't know
if I've got the guts.

06:42.425 --> 06:43.843
At least it doesn't smell.

06:43.968 --> 06:46.095
Down the hatch,
ungrateful brats!

06:46.429 --> 06:48.848
Okay, that's all
the preliminaries.

06:48.973 --> 06:50.141
Now move out.

06:50.266 --> 06:52.601
Get in there and do
what you guys do best.

06:52.726 --> 06:54.103
Let the battle begin.

07:00.693 --> 07:01.861
They've entered the fog.

07:01.986 --> 07:03.696
There's three of them.

07:04.655 --> 07:06.198
Just three, huh?

07:07.116 --> 07:09.827
Well that's fewer
than I thought they'd send.

07:09.952 --> 07:12.204
I guess that we shouldn't have
bothered teaming up.

07:12.538 --> 07:13.831
Seems that it was overkill.

07:14.915 --> 07:16.792
Roren!

07:16.917 --> 07:18.461
How's our lunch lookin' so far?

07:19.003 --> 07:22.715
(groans) I've got about 200 now.

07:22.840 --> 07:24.049
Keeping them alive

07:24.175 --> 07:26.927
and herding them like
this is taking so long.

07:27.052 --> 07:29.555
Who know that it'd
be such a pain?

07:29.680 --> 07:31.140
[Kanawa] The freshness
is worth it.

07:31.474 --> 07:33.726
They start losing
that sweet vital energy

07:33.851 --> 07:35.144
almost right after they croak.

07:35.478 --> 07:36.896
[Roren] Hey, listen, Kanawa,

07:37.021 --> 07:38.856
can you stop being such
a picky eater

07:38.981 --> 07:40.316
and leaving us only the heads?

07:40.649 --> 07:41.984
What's it matter?

07:42.109 --> 07:44.653
Besides the heads
are too crunchy.

07:44.778 --> 07:45.779
[Naruko] Kanawa.

07:45.905 --> 07:46.780
Huh?

07:46.906 --> 07:48.157
What, Naruko?

07:48.491 --> 07:51.160
I was a little off before.

07:51.494 --> 07:53.454
It isn't just three people.

07:54.663 --> 07:56.248
Well, kinda.

07:56.582 --> 07:58.000
It's those three

07:58.584 --> 08:00.169
and Rago.

08:01.045 --> 08:04.465
(Kanawa eager laughter)

08:06.050 --> 08:08.844
The scoundrel's here at last!

08:08.969 --> 08:12.681
Now I can finally stop holding
back and really run amok!

08:13.098 --> 08:15.726
Go ahead, run amok to
your little heart's content.

08:15.851 --> 08:17.645
But don't forget
what the boss said.

08:17.770 --> 08:19.146
Yeah, yeah!

08:19.271 --> 08:20.147
Hey, Naruko!

08:20.272 --> 08:22.566
What direction's
Rago comin' from?

08:23.609 --> 08:24.568
Naruko?

08:25.861 --> 08:26.987
[Roren] Bet she's asleep.

08:27.655 --> 08:28.739
[Kanawa] What?

08:29.114 --> 08:30.658
[Roren] What do you expect?

08:30.783 --> 08:32.743
She's holding up
this barrier all by herself.

08:33.536 --> 08:34.995
What are we s'posed to do

08:35.120 --> 08:37.289
if Rago ends up going
towards Naruko?

08:37.623 --> 08:38.832
It'll be fine.

08:38.999 --> 08:41.043
We made sure she
has her own bodyguard.

08:41.168 --> 08:43.629
[Kanawa] I don't care
if she's okay or not!

08:43.796 --> 08:45.881
(growls) Enough of this!

08:46.048 --> 08:48.926
Roren, stay here and
keep our food supply moving.

08:50.594 --> 08:52.096
What about you?

08:52.221 --> 08:55.766
I'm gonna go out there, find
Rago, and make his soul mine!

08:55.891 --> 08:58.060
Remember, the boss
said not to kill him!

09:02.481 --> 09:04.024
Okay.

09:04.149 --> 09:05.317
This is not good.

09:05.651 --> 09:07.152
It's way worse than I imagined.

09:07.987 --> 09:10.823
All these people lying
on the ground.

09:10.948 --> 09:12.908
I tried shaking 'em,
but none of them reacted.

09:13.033 --> 09:14.076
WAKE UP, DAMMIT!
SHAKE SHAKE

09:14.201 --> 09:15.911
If I were to guess,
I'd say they've

09:16.036 --> 09:17.955
probably been put
under some kind of a spell.

09:18.122 --> 09:19.832
[Jiro] Makes sense.

09:19.957 --> 09:21.500
Then let's go find
whoever's behind it.

09:21.625 --> 09:24.128
[Ichika] You know this barrier
covers the whole city, right?

09:24.253 --> 09:25.212
[Reiji] Looks like splitting up

09:25.337 --> 09:26.797
and searching in
opposite directions

09:26.922 --> 09:28.007
will be our best bet.

09:28.799 --> 09:31.385
(Rago yawns) Where are we?

09:31.510 --> 09:34.680
This whole place absolutely
reeks of spectral energy!

09:34.805 --> 09:37.016
So the cat finally graces us
with his presence!

09:37.141 --> 09:38.017
(Ichika gasps)

09:38.142 --> 09:40.227
Wait, that's it! Rago!

09:40.352 --> 09:42.605
You can act as our
mononoke radar in here!

09:42.730 --> 09:43.689
Huh?!

09:46.650 --> 09:48.360
There's three.

09:48.694 --> 09:50.237
No, four spectral presences.

09:50.571 --> 09:51.989
Really? Four?!

09:52.114 --> 09:54.074
Any idea where we can find them?

09:54.199 --> 09:56.076
(Rago sniffing)

09:56.201 --> 09:57.953
The fog and the spell
make it difficult

09:58.078 --> 10:00.122
to pinpoint exact locations.

10:00.247 --> 10:02.249
There's the one who's
rolling out the fog.

10:02.875 --> 10:05.002
Another one casting the
spell on the humans.

10:05.586 --> 10:07.713
Then there are the two
who have the most

10:07.838 --> 10:09.298
spectral juice
of the bunch.

10:09.798 --> 10:11.842
Seems there's even
more reason for us

10:11.967 --> 10:13.135
to split up and look for them.

10:13.844 --> 10:15.387
- [Crow] Wowie!
- Huh?

10:15.721 --> 10:16.805
Boy, what luck!

10:16.930 --> 10:18.390
I don't know why
the humans are napping,

10:18.724 --> 10:20.100
but I'm not complaining!

10:20.225 --> 10:21.894
Time to stuff our
beaks while we can!

10:24.146 --> 10:27.107
I heard the others talk
about this skill of his,

10:27.232 --> 10:29.234
but now I actually
see it, it's...

10:29.360 --> 10:31.028
How do I put it?

10:31.153 --> 10:33.280
It's like something
out of a fable.

10:33.405 --> 10:35.491
Wow, thank you so much, human!

10:35.616 --> 10:38.035
I've never gotten to eat
the stuff in the can before!

10:38.160 --> 10:39.244
Don't sweat it.

10:39.370 --> 10:41.455
I'm the one who should
be thanking you guys.

10:42.331 --> 10:44.541
Listen, according to the crows,

10:44.667 --> 10:46.418
two of the mononoke
are with a mob of people

10:46.752 --> 10:48.462
at an intersection
north of here,

10:48.587 --> 10:50.214
and the other two are hanging
around the park

10:50.339 --> 10:51.924
in the center of town.

10:52.049 --> 10:54.259
I think we oughta split
up into two groups

10:54.385 --> 10:56.053
if we want to take care
of this quickly.

10:56.178 --> 10:57.805
All right.

10:57.930 --> 10:59.890
Ichika and I'll take
the intersection.

11:00.015 --> 11:01.517
You two head over to the park.

11:01.850 --> 11:03.394
Now how'd I know you'd say that?

11:03.727 --> 11:06.230
Once we've taken care of
the two at the intersection,

11:06.355 --> 11:07.106
we'll head to you.

11:07.231 --> 11:08.524
Okay.

11:08.649 --> 11:10.984
Then why don't we start
making our way over there.

11:12.945 --> 11:15.823
(all gasping)

11:18.784 --> 11:20.285
(Kanawa growls)

11:24.665 --> 11:26.750
(Kanawa gasps and grins)

11:28.001 --> 11:30.337
So, change of plans...

11:30.462 --> 11:33.048
You guys split up and take
both the intersection and park.

11:34.383 --> 11:36.135
We've got this guy.

11:36.260 --> 11:37.469
Wait! Jiro!

11:37.594 --> 11:39.596
- The three of us-
- He's got his sights on us.

11:40.806 --> 11:41.765
Go.

11:44.685 --> 11:46.228
(chuckles)

11:46.395 --> 11:47.563
I'm kinda surprised

11:47.688 --> 11:50.107
you were so willing
to ditch your friends.

11:50.274 --> 11:52.359
I thought humans
only fought in packs

11:52.484 --> 11:54.153
'cause they're too weak
on their own.

11:54.278 --> 11:57.030
Shut up, ya fugly horn head.

11:57.156 --> 11:58.782
I'm not here for your chit chat.

11:59.199 --> 12:00.826
So come on, already!

12:00.951 --> 12:01.827
Bring it!

12:09.710 --> 12:10.961
Huh?

12:11.295 --> 12:14.006
It looks like I found
the right place.

12:14.131 --> 12:17.092
All right, loser, do yourself
a favor, drop the spell.

12:17.718 --> 12:18.635
Huh?!

12:18.761 --> 12:20.262
Now why would I ever do that?

12:21.013 --> 12:22.639
So, you choose death.

12:24.266 --> 12:25.476
[Reiji] By all appearances,

12:25.809 --> 12:28.353
the one on the pole
isn't even conscious.

12:28.479 --> 12:30.105
What a pleasant surprise.

12:30.230 --> 12:31.982
Behave, and I'll arrest you.

12:32.107 --> 12:33.275
You'll get to live.

12:33.442 --> 12:35.986
But resist and you get my blade.

12:36.945 --> 12:37.905
Bring it, huh?

12:38.781 --> 12:39.948
Oh, yeah?

12:40.073 --> 12:41.366
As crazy as it sounds,

12:41.492 --> 12:44.453
I'd say you think you're
actually stronger than I am.

12:44.578 --> 12:46.580
Tell you what:
how about we find out?

12:48.874 --> 12:52.002
(Kanawa growls)

13:08.310 --> 13:10.103
[Jiro] Just as I thought.

13:10.229 --> 13:11.814
The guy's all about his muscles.

13:12.898 --> 13:14.358
He swings big,

13:16.360 --> 13:18.153
but his attacks are simple.

13:19.071 --> 13:20.614
If I dodge at the last second...

13:20.948 --> 13:21.907
Huh!

13:22.241 --> 13:23.700
The fool's wide open!

13:26.286 --> 13:29.289
Sorry, Mr. Jolly Horned Giant.

13:29.414 --> 13:30.916
But this isn't my first rodeo.

13:32.000 --> 13:33.168
I'm not gonna hold back.

13:33.293 --> 13:34.795
We'll end it with one strike.

13:34.920 --> 13:36.255
Now, Rago!

13:46.348 --> 13:47.891
Hope you can fly!

13:49.017 --> 13:52.062
(Kanawa straining)

13:53.856 --> 13:55.774
[Rago] No good!
I can't do it!

13:55.899 --> 13:57.067
You what?!

13:57.192 --> 13:59.778
(Kanawa straining)

14:02.865 --> 14:04.366
He stopped it!

14:05.909 --> 14:07.244
Crap.

14:08.620 --> 14:11.331
You know, I gotta tell you,
that wasn't half bad.

14:12.291 --> 14:14.084
But...

14:14.209 --> 14:16.086
It seems that you
aren't a mononoke,

14:16.211 --> 14:18.046
and you're no human, either.

14:18.171 --> 14:20.132
You're just a big dud.

14:20.257 --> 14:21.633
[Jiro] He transformed?!

14:23.969 --> 14:25.012
(groans)

14:25.429 --> 14:26.471
What?!

14:28.265 --> 14:31.059
I'm not the nimblest mononoke.

14:31.184 --> 14:33.312
But I know how to
throw my weight around

14:33.437 --> 14:36.064
like the baddest bull
you've ever seen!

14:36.189 --> 14:37.983
Aw, does it hurt?

14:38.108 --> 14:41.194
Feeling humiliated having
your face shoved in the dirt?

14:41.320 --> 14:42.446
Well now you know.

14:42.571 --> 14:45.073
That's how we've felt
for hundreds of years.

14:46.199 --> 14:49.036
Thanks to you so-called
secret agents.

14:49.995 --> 14:53.624
I used to be venerated
as an almighty demon god,

14:53.957 --> 14:56.543
ruler of the mountain forests.

14:56.668 --> 14:57.836
The humans would present me

14:57.961 --> 15:01.715
with glorious offerings
and earnest prayers.

15:01.840 --> 15:05.093
And in return, I protected
them and their land.

15:05.218 --> 15:07.971
Ah, how sweet those
glory days were.

15:08.096 --> 15:09.556
But then!

15:09.890 --> 15:11.642
The Oniwaban came into being.

15:11.975 --> 15:13.644
All of the prayers dried up.

15:13.977 --> 15:15.687
And the villagers
began to scheme

15:15.812 --> 15:18.357
with those dirty spies
to assassinate me.

15:18.482 --> 15:21.151
So of course, I killed them.

15:21.276 --> 15:23.820
Understand now, boy?

15:23.946 --> 15:26.531
One day it's nothing
but smiles and prayers.

15:26.657 --> 15:29.701
The next, bloodthirsty
butchers eager to kill me.

15:30.035 --> 15:32.579
That's just what
human scum does.

15:32.913 --> 15:34.498
So we mononoke waited.

15:35.624 --> 15:38.460
In time, the humans
forgot about us,

15:38.585 --> 15:41.630
and the Oniwaban became
a mere shadow of itself.

15:42.255 --> 15:44.549
Now at last it's time
for the mononoke

15:44.675 --> 15:47.219
to reclaim our rightful
place in the world.

15:47.511 --> 15:50.347
If this is full the extent
of Rago's power,

15:50.472 --> 15:53.475
then it seems we have
little need of him.

15:53.600 --> 15:56.770
You shall be a
sacrificial offering,

15:56.895 --> 16:00.232
a means to ring in
the glory of our new era.

16:01.942 --> 16:03.360
[Roren] Really!

16:03.485 --> 16:05.612
You humans are always
acting like this.

16:05.737 --> 16:07.322
Pretending as
if you rule the world

16:07.781 --> 16:09.950
and the rest of us
shouldn't even exist.

16:10.283 --> 16:12.661
To be honest,
all of you make me want to puke.

16:12.786 --> 16:14.204
If you want to get me to stop,

16:14.329 --> 16:16.123
perhaps you should emulate
your ancestors,

16:16.456 --> 16:17.749
get on your hands and knees,

16:17.874 --> 16:19.418
and place your forehead
on the ground.

16:20.961 --> 16:22.212
(Ichika grunts)

16:26.717 --> 16:28.927
Oh? So the girl's got moves.

16:30.387 --> 16:32.472
Okay, then...

16:32.597 --> 16:34.474
Why don't we try
something like this?!

16:36.518 --> 16:37.811
(Ichika struggling)

16:41.815 --> 16:43.108
(Ichika gasps)

16:45.986 --> 16:48.155
Just so you know,
if you fall from here,

16:48.488 --> 16:49.448
it's the end of you.

16:49.698 --> 16:51.116
My spell's wormed its way

16:51.241 --> 16:53.368
into the deepest part
of your psyche.

16:53.702 --> 16:56.747
I've shown every type of person
every conceivable illusion,

16:56.997 --> 16:59.166
from the most fatally
alluring dream

16:59.291 --> 17:02.044
to the most downright
hellishly horrific nightmare.

17:02.377 --> 17:05.922
And they've rewarded me
with such charming laughter,

17:06.048 --> 17:07.340
delicious tears,

17:07.466 --> 17:10.635
and lovely grimaces
before their voices failed them.

17:10.761 --> 17:12.679
Isn't that just a hoot?

17:12.804 --> 17:14.556
[Ichika] You're
seriously disturbed.

17:14.681 --> 17:17.976
Humans aren't your
playthings, sicko.

17:18.101 --> 17:19.978
You humans have
your cats and dogs.

17:20.103 --> 17:21.271
What's the difference?

17:22.522 --> 17:24.858
I've reached a decision:

17:24.983 --> 17:27.778
you're going to play with me
whether you like it or not.

17:27.903 --> 17:30.405
Welcome, to my toy collection!

17:32.657 --> 17:34.076
(Roren laughs)

17:34.201 --> 17:35.827
Yes, that's it!

17:35.952 --> 17:37.746
Dance for me! Dance!

17:37.871 --> 17:39.915
So what'll it be?

17:40.040 --> 17:41.875
A chasm ripped in your tummy?!

17:42.000 --> 17:43.877
Or a sky dive straight to hell?!

17:47.506 --> 17:49.091
(Roren gasps)

17:49.216 --> 17:51.134
The only one who's going
to hell is you!

17:52.636 --> 17:54.638
You forgot that
this is my illusion.

17:55.806 --> 17:57.682
There's no way that I can fall.

17:58.016 --> 17:59.059
(Ichika gasps)

17:59.392 --> 18:00.811
Hey, that's no fair!

18:00.936 --> 18:02.437
Come down and fight me!

18:02.562 --> 18:05.565
(chuckles) You're really used
to giving orders, aren't you?

18:05.690 --> 18:07.943
You know, I think a present
might change your mood.

18:12.531 --> 18:14.449
(Ichika stammers)

18:14.574 --> 18:16.576
What the hell is this?!

18:16.701 --> 18:19.079
It's adorable, that's what!

18:19.204 --> 18:21.998
What's a toy collection
without a dress-up doll, right?

18:22.124 --> 18:24.543
- (Roren gleeful laughter)
- You!

18:24.668 --> 18:27.712
I can't lose my cool or I'll
play right into his hands.

18:27.838 --> 18:29.881
It's just an illusion.

18:30.006 --> 18:32.008
He thinks he can keep
playing with me,

18:32.134 --> 18:33.718
but that gives
me an opportunity.

18:34.594 --> 18:36.054
I'll only get one, though.

18:36.721 --> 18:38.974
[Roren] So what'll it be
next, a maid's outfit?

18:39.099 --> 18:41.226
Or perhaps a nurse's uniform?

18:41.351 --> 18:42.686
- [Ichika] How about no to both?
- Huh?

18:43.603 --> 18:45.021
I'm done.

18:45.147 --> 18:47.315
I won't play your perverted
little games any longer.

18:48.024 --> 18:49.818
Is that so?

18:50.318 --> 18:52.362
Too bad you don't have
a say in the matter.

18:52.904 --> 18:53.947
Huh?!

18:54.072 --> 18:54.948
Where? (grunts)

18:55.532 --> 18:56.867
What's on my?!

18:56.992 --> 18:58.118
[Ichika] Stealth Mode unlock.

18:58.785 --> 18:59.953
Wait!

19:00.078 --> 19:00.954
Wait, wait!

19:02.497 --> 19:04.249
(Roren yells)

19:04.583 --> 19:06.543
No! Not my horn!

19:07.836 --> 19:10.672
The horn's a mononoke's
spectral control center.

19:11.089 --> 19:13.300
Lose one and
you can't control your spell.

19:13.758 --> 19:15.969
This may be all fun
and games to you,

19:16.094 --> 19:17.596
but we humans are dead serious.

19:18.138 --> 19:19.639
So don't play with us!

19:23.018 --> 19:24.686
Ha!

19:24.811 --> 19:28.064
You've decided to resort
to Utsusemi, I see.

19:28.190 --> 19:29.733
You're a nimble little chimp.

19:30.525 --> 19:32.068
Still...

19:32.194 --> 19:34.112
I'm surprised.

19:34.237 --> 19:37.157
I can't believe you still
had such power left.

19:38.825 --> 19:40.202
Wait. This...

19:40.535 --> 19:43.830
Hey, Rago, what's going on?!

19:43.955 --> 19:46.166
[Rago] Don't ask me.
I'm not sure either.

19:46.291 --> 19:48.001
But as soon I ripped that vest,

19:48.126 --> 19:50.170
I felt this power bubbling up.

19:50.295 --> 19:52.547
Huh? What do you
mean, bubbling up?

19:52.672 --> 19:53.882
(Jiro gasps)

19:54.007 --> 19:56.134
Wait, that's right!
Shiba said something about

19:56.259 --> 19:57.886
some kind of
Spectral Neutralizer.

19:58.929 --> 20:01.640
Was it working on Rago's
energy inside me, too?

20:02.807 --> 20:03.767
[Rago] Jiro!

20:04.851 --> 20:06.311
(Kanawa attack growl)

20:06.645 --> 20:07.646
Dodge!

20:07.771 --> 20:08.813
[Jiro] There's no time.

20:08.939 --> 20:10.607
Dammit! Then we'll block it!

20:15.779 --> 20:18.573
(Kanawa wet cough)

20:19.783 --> 20:22.410
[Kanawa] You monster!

20:27.832 --> 20:30.669
[Jiro] Rago. Wow.

20:30.794 --> 20:33.004
That was incredible.

20:33.129 --> 20:35.799
But I was just trying
to block his swing.

20:36.007 --> 20:38.134
[Jiro] That was way more
powerful than a block.

20:38.593 --> 20:41.137
[Rago] Why am I suddenly
so much stronger?

20:41.471 --> 20:43.848
Was there really something
about that jacket?

20:44.099 --> 20:46.059
No, that wouldn't explain it.

20:46.184 --> 20:48.228
Taking it off
was just the trigger.

20:48.353 --> 20:51.064
It's like something that had
a grip on me, just let go.

20:51.648 --> 20:52.941
(gasp) Wait a second...

20:53.650 --> 20:56.361
Could my powers be increasing?

20:56.486 --> 20:58.029
All the energy
that the death obsidian

20:58.154 --> 20:59.823
drained away from me.

20:59.948 --> 21:02.075
It's not that it's
just come back.

21:02.200 --> 21:04.160
I'm even stronger than before.

21:04.286 --> 21:06.871
No, it's only been a few weeks.

21:06.997 --> 21:08.999
Go on, enjoy a nice meal!

21:09.124 --> 21:11.334
I'm sure a full belly
will help you think clearly.

21:11.668 --> 21:13.253
[Fuyo] If we really want
to power up,

21:13.586 --> 21:16.298
mononoke need what's called
humans' "vital energy."

21:18.258 --> 21:19.718
[Rago] I see.

21:20.176 --> 21:22.053
There's something off here.

21:22.178 --> 21:24.222
This just doesn't feel
quite right.

21:24.556 --> 21:27.017
[Rago] Two beings, a
mononoke and a human,

21:27.142 --> 21:28.893
sharing a single body.

21:29.019 --> 21:31.062
You wouldn't even have to
think about it.

21:31.187 --> 21:32.939
It would just happen.

21:33.064 --> 21:35.358
Without even realizing
it, I consumed.

21:35.692 --> 21:37.152
No, I'm still consuming.

21:37.694 --> 21:38.987
This whole time,

21:39.112 --> 21:41.072
I've been siphoning
off Jiro's vital energy.

21:41.197 --> 21:42.657
Without even trying.

21:46.703 --> 21:48.163
[Reiji] Stop right there.

21:48.288 --> 21:50.332
Drop your weapon and surrender.

21:50.457 --> 21:53.209
Refuse, and I'll have no choice
but to use force.

21:53.335 --> 21:54.544
I won't warn you again.

21:55.045 --> 21:56.046
(gasps)

22:01.009 --> 22:02.927
[Reiji] There's no
doubt about it.

22:03.053 --> 22:04.471
I could never forget.

22:05.805 --> 22:06.765
That sword!

22:08.058 --> 22:10.435
Prepare for the Kirihara-ryu.

22:10.769 --> 22:12.187
[Reiji] That voice.

22:12.312 --> 22:13.563
Shunjin.

22:15.607 --> 22:18.151
(♪ "I Don't Like
Mondays" by Groooovy)

22:18.276 --> 22:21.029
The number you have dialed
is not available at present.

22:21.154 --> 22:22.405
Please leave your message.
