Yamatone...

Red bean jam is the greatest!

Wakasa...

Turbot, tilefish and Echizen crab... I sure envy the boss.

You twit, he may have gone there, but it's not for a vacation.

Bang!

Hi!

Welcome, Mr. Sugishita.

How are you?

Looks good!

Mr. Kunikida is in Wakasa right now, isn't he?

His best friend from his college days passed away.

I've heard that he was one of the key members of the TAC.

Mikio Yamatone...

He's an ethnologist, who's been missing for three years.

That's him.

It was a pretty strange death, right? Don't the police have any leads?

It was a pretty strange death, right? Don't the police have any leads?

I don't know. Thank you.

Speaking of abnormal phenomena,

I understand that the trees in Wakasa have started to die.

I've heard that the fishermen are unable to catch a single fish.

Is it true?

Is it true?

I've seen it on television.

Japan's becoming a difficult country to live in.

Now then, why did you come here?

No reason...

Cooties! Cooties! Cooties!

Excuse me, but I'm...

You're Mr. Kunikida, aren't you?

What? Yes...

I've heard a lot about you from my husband.

Oh, I see. I suppose there weren't any good stories about me though.

We were both young and we did a lot of ridiculous things together.

He said the two of you were always drinking together and fighting.

Yes, we spent a lot of time drinking,

and having a lot of heated talks about the future of Japan

even though both of us were just striplings.

I envy the two of you.

However, I didn't know he was married until I came to Wakasa.

But when?

Oh, well we weren't, not officially.

It will take a few days to complete the autopsy on Yamatone's...

your husband's body.

If I discover any new information, I'll come and let you know.

Mr. Kunikida...

Madam!

I remember now that my husband gave me a letter for you.

I remember now that my husband gave me a letter for you.

For me?

Yes, if something happened to him, he told me to give it to you.

Yes, if something happened to him, he told me to give it to you.

Yamatone might have sensed his fate.

Dear Daitetsu Kunikida,

by the time you read this, I will no longer exist in this world.

I can imagine that you're angry with me,

because I disappeared without giving any notice, even to my best friend.

Japan...

The mind of Japan is dead.

Japan, the way it is today,

has continued to destroy its valuable culture and history.

The abnormal plant phenomenon now occurring all over Japan

is the ceremony of purification, as performed by Japan's ancient Gods.

Do you understand? Japan has become so defiled the gods won't claim it.

Kunikida, where has the Japan which we dreamed about

when we were young gone?

Why don't we return such a Japan to our gods?

Japan must return to the gods' ways, under the gods' control.

Am I wrong, Kunikida?

A fisherman who lives near here. He's twenty-eight years old.

Twenty-eight?

Another victim, on the shore, is one of the fisherman's companions,

Another victim, on the shore, is one of the fisherman's companions,

and he's only twenty.

The cells in the bodies of these two victims

display all of the symptoms of extreme old age.

Maybe it's like the old fisherman's tale,

and they opened the box that contained their life essence.

There.

There.

Here.

There.

There.

There.

Here.

There.

There.

What's the matter? Aragami?

Nuts! I'm disappointed.

But...

Oave of the Holy Fast of Yaobikuni?

Kushinada...

Kushinada...

Who is that?

I have something to tell you.

Where are you? Who are you?

Kushinada, the humans are using you.

They will sacrifice you.

No, it's not true. Mr. Kunikida told me that he wouldn't.

The history of humans is the repetition of mistakes.

Anger, hate, killing each other...

They repeat this ugly history in an endless cycle.

They're simply foolish creatures, after all.

That's not true. Mr. Kunikida is very kind to me,

and Mr. Yaegashi sometimes helps me finish my homework

and Ms. Kome sometimes takes me to the arcade with her,

and not only that, everybody is so...

Aren't you afraid of dying?

Kushinada, I wonder whether it's worth throwing your life away

to save such humans?

Who are you? Are you an Aragami?

Or are you a human?

Neither one.

Neither...

Let's go Momiji.

Kome, where is the cave?

Cave?

I followed the nun into the cave, and I heard the woman's voice...

I followed the nun into the cave, and I heard the woman's voice...

Stop daydreaming!

Daydreaming? I wasn't!

Hey, hurry up, Momiji!

A dream?

Yaobikuni?

It's just a rumor,

It's just a rumor,

but some of the people in this town call Mrs. Wakaba Yamatone that.

Yaobikuni, the Nun Yao, is the name of an old tale

about the daughter of a fisherman who ate the flesh of a mermaid,

and gained eternal life and youth.

Supposedly, she became a nun and went on a pilgrimage.

I met her!

Don't mind her, she's a little tired right now.

The rumor was started by an old man in the village.

He saw Wakaba moving into that house,

and was almost scared to death by the sight of her,

because she looked exactly the same

as the woman who lived there eighty years ago.

Eighty years ago?

This is a picture of the woman.

She certainly looks like Wakaba.

It's only natural that the old man was surprised by her, but...

The town folk all laughed at him in the beginning,

but then, strange, abnormal phenomena began to occur.

Trees died and they were no longer able to catch any fish.

The people began to think that it might be a curse from the Nun Yao,

so they began to keep her at a distance.

It's ridiculous!

It's ridiculous!

Boss...

Matsu!

Matsu!

I thought you were staying in Tokyo.

The prototype is ready and I thought it might be useful for something.

What is that?

This is a Oorona Shot, a kind of gas gun.

It reacts to the carbonic acid inside Aragami's body,

generates high heat, and destroys its cellular structure.

Neat trick! Even if that woman is Yaobikuni, it'll kill her at once.

Shut up!

What's wrong?

Mr. Kunikida... Mr. Kunikida, you have a phone call from a Mr. Sugishita.

Three evenings ago, this man was seen entering Mr. Yamatone's house

with the two fishermen who were killed.

I ask you the same question again!

Why did you go to that house that night?

I'll be killed! I'll be killed!

Who are you talking about? Who will kill you?

No! I don't want to die! Help me!

Yesterday, you and the others ran away in terror

when you saw Wakaba, didn't you?

Even though there are evil rumors about her,

running away like that isn't normal,

I don't know. I don't know anything.

Why?! What are you hiding, you bastard?!

That hurts...

Talk!

Talk!

Talk!

That woman died.

What?

What?

She has dead!

As you would say, I am Yaobikuni.

For a least eight hundred years now...

Well, I don't know exactly how many hundreds of years have passed.

I avoid being seen, running from rumors, moving from place to place

repeating the cycle forever.

Between the cycles, I met Yamatone.

Perhaps he looked for his lost Japan in me.

I didn't care about that.

He loved me.

He loved me even though I'm not a human.

That's why he disappeared three years ago, isn't it?

According to his request, we came here, to the town of Wakasa.

People talked about us behind our backs and, as usual,

the rumors began to spread.

But for me, each of those days was a happy one.

However...

We can't catch even a single fish because of you!

It'll all be over for us if this continues.

You damn Yaobikuni!

She's dead!

Wakaba!

I'm all right. I won't die.

No! I hate everything, Wakaba! I truly hate the human race!

Dearest!

It can't be!

Fire! Fire!

It's exactly like the Boss told us. Yamatone's corpse has disappeared.

Then...

The monster is really Yamatone!

The monster is really Yamatone!

I'm chasing the Aragami!

If it goes in a straight line like this,

it'll pass right in front of the Wakasahiko Shrine.

It turned! The Mantoku Temple is in its way!

It's turned again! Is the Kokubunji Temple in its way now?

He's avoiding historic sites. He doesn't want them to be involved.

Keep back! Keep your distance and fire!

Hurry up!

Here!

No!

Don't shoot!

What's wrong?!

That Aragami is Mr. Kunikida's best friend!

That Aragami is Mr. Kunikida's best friend!

What'll we do?

Boss...

Let me handle this.

Yamatone!

Yamatone...

From a love that lasts forever to casual flirtation...

Love is so mysterious, isn't it?

You start thinking things like, "What kind of man is he?"

After a while, you just may find yourself falling in love with him.

Even after you've fallen in love, it might still be hard to let him know.

You might even begin to think

that you shouldn't have fallen in love with him at all.

Isn't that right, Ms. Takeuchi?

Next Blue Seed:

"Let It Bloom, Japan! A Blizzard Of One-Sided Love!"

Do you fall in love with someone forever?

Itsu no ma nika, yume no naka de

Futari kiss o shite ita no

Mitsume atte, zutto mae kara

Koko ni ita you ni

Dou ka shiteru ne, hen na kimochi

Asayake ga me ni shimiru

Aoi real, mune no oku ni, umarete

Koi ja naku te ii nan te, mayowase te gomen ne

Kitto sono bun, watashi mo setsunaku naru noni
