Original subtitles

In this world which will someday fall to ruin...

...dreams and hopes don't matter at all.

Because you're asleep within your heart...

...you will never wake.

But feel with those hands the future that can't be changed.

Burning for your life!

Even if I sacrifice this life that will someday burn out...

For the perfect dream!

Drowning in my dream!

Even if I drown, a dream is only but a dream.

You are the starlight.

Episode 1 A Reunion

Kongouhou Temple Kouya Mountain, Wakayama

You're putting in quite an effort there.

Oh, it's you, Gramps.

Doing such hard labour at such an hour.

I like physical activities...

...so it's really fun.

That is good.

Everyone was making a riot about someone...

...sneaking in and eating the rice from the tub before dinner.

It looks like punishment for that.

What, you knew about it, and came to mock me...

I'm still in my growth spurt!

I can't possibly last until dinner!

I can't help it!

This place will be rather quiet with you gone.

What did you just say?

This place will be rather quiet with you gone.

Gramps, that means...

The stars have shifted.

The stars?

A star that shines brighter than all the others has shifted.

I see...

So it's finally beginning...

You must be on your way...

...as a Dragon of Heaven, one of the Seven Seals.

That is your destiny.

Gramps Stargazer, I...

I understand.

Don't say anything.

All right.

But instead of that, I...

I'll polish this place so well that you can see your face in it.

Ise Shrine, Mie

I understand.

And what did Lady Hinoto say?

To gather in Tokyo as soon as possible.

I see...

So the day has finally...

Lady Kaede...

Thank you for taking care of me for so long.

I should thank you.

I really am glad that I met you.

Arashi.

I'll comb this fine hair of yours for the first time in a while tonight.

Mitsumine Shrine, Chichibu

What's wrong, Inuki?

Inuki?

Grandma, Inuki is acting funny.

That's right.

Inuki is wise.

He knows.

Knows what?

That the time your powers are needed has come.

The time our powers are needed?

T-That means...

I can go to Tokyo!

All right!

Inuki, when I go to Tokyo...

...I want to eat ice cream at the Petit Rondo, and...

Now, Yuzuriha!

I know.

Right, Inuki?

Arashiyama, Kyoto

I've just finished the case... Arashiyama, Kyoto

I've just finished the case...

Sumeragi I've just finished the case...

Sumeragi

...for the Imperial Household Office. - Is that so? Sumeragi

Sumeragi

Thank you for all the hard work. Sumeragi

Thank you for all the hard work.

Have you been doing well, Subaru?

Yes.

Please visit the Kyoto area once every so often as well.

I'll come visit for my sister's seventh year ritual next month.

Is that so?

I see.

We will be eagerly awaiting you, Subaru.

All right. Then if you'll excuse me.

Inverted pentagram?

The symbol of the Sakurazukamori.

Sister...

I think I can finally meet him again.

Will you be happy for me?

Or...

Kabukicho, Shinjuku

FLOWER Aesthetician-style

Miss Karen, you've been called for.

All right, I'll be right over.

It looks like my real calling has arrived.

A publishing house in Tokyo

Chief!

Mr. Maruyama's manuscripts barely made it for publication.

I'm glad. That's a relief.

Yes, really. It was touch and go...

Thanks for your hard work.

Oh? That's nice.

Oh, this?

It's a birthday gift from my wife.

Of course, I'm sure my daughter, Yuka, picked the design.

It looks great on you, Mr. Aoki. It really does.

Well, thank you.

And now...

I'll do the work tomorrow.

I should continue reading the picture book to Yuka tonight.

The Dragons of Heaven...

...are gathering here in Tokyo.

The Seven Seals...

The seven stars of heaven...

And the one that emits a light stronger than all the others...

"Kamui."

Everything has now started to move.

Togakushi Shrine

It's you, Kamui?

I'm here to pick up the Divine Sword.

It's been six years now...

Your mother, Tohru, entrusted me with this...

...and I have been protecting it since.

It's true that this is something you should have...

...but I cannot give it to you right away.

Why is that?

I must see through it...

...whether or not you're worthy of wielding this Divine Sword.

See through it?

Who?

For what?

You will understand in time.

Saying that on a whim is problematic.

I was planning to take that and leave Tokyo immediately.

You cannot.

I'm at a loss.

I don't want to be treated like a kid.

I don't intend to follow anyone's orders.

Hurry up and hand it over.

If you want it that badly...

...defeat me and take it away from me.

Are you serious?

Do you really mean to fight me?

I have no other choice.

I'll tell you now...

I won't hold anything back.

You really want me to kill you that much?

This Song of Eternal Parting was written by Kenji...

...upon the death of his younger sister Toshi.

The portion, "oraoradeshitoriegumo"...

...is supposedly what Toshi uttered from her sickbed...

...and can be interpreted... - Oh, sorry.

...as showing Toshi's feelings...

- Here. - Thank you.

Monou!

Read from the sixth line on page 43.

A-All right.

"I pray from the bottom of my heart...

...as you eat these two bowls of snow."

"That this will become heavenly ice cream...

...and will become sacred food for you and everyone else."

"I hope, humbly praying on my knees."

Kamui?

Hey, Kotori, aren't you done yet?

You'll be late!

All right.

Father, can you take the laundry in when it's dry?

Yeah, I know.

We're going now!

I had a dream last night.

A dream?

A dream again of...

Don't worry.

It was a good dream last night.

I see.

You remember Kamui, who lived near us before?

I had a dream that Kamui was coming back.

I see, Kamui...

That brings back memories...

The three of us used to play together a lot.

Yeah... I wonder what he's doing now.

Maybe he's turned into a complete bookworm.

That's possible.

That's enough, all of you.

Making me late the first day I transfer into a school?

Well, it doesn't matter at all.

You're annoying...

Nothing but eyesores!

Get lost!

Paper Spell Servants...

They think too little of me if spell servants were my opponents.

Go back and tell your master...

If you're going to get in my way, come prepared to die.

Something's strange...

This is...

No way!

Monou, what's wrong?

You can sit down now!

A-All right.

Hey, goalkeeper!

Oh, shoot...

Man, you did it again, Monou.

I thought I was gonna die...

Sorry, I'll go get the ball.

That can't be.

Monou, the ball!

Oh, sorry, sorry!

Oh, Kotori!

I got news!

The boy who transferred to our class today's really handsome!

Oh, I see.

And he's kinda cool. We don't see that often.

There he is!

That boy, that boy!

See? He's a little short...

But he's fine!

Wait!

Kotori?

- Oh my... - She's so aggressive.

What happened to her?

Wait!

Please, wait just a minute!

Um, well... Can it be...

...that you're Kamui?

You are, right?

I'm Kotori from the Togakushi Shrine.

Kotori Monou.

It really is you!

It's been a while, Kamui Shirou.

I was surprised...

...because my dream last night came true.

I had a dream that you'd transferred to our school, Kamui.

What's wrong?

Something's strange.

Oh, I know.

You're tense because you just transferred here.

Am I right?

Don't involve yourself with me.

Don't talk to me ever again.

I don't know what's going on, but you're being rather rude.

It's the first time I've seen you in a while, too...

I'm not who I was six years ago.

What does that mean?

Don't involve yourself with me.

I see...

All right.

I'm sorry I was so friendly then.

What was that?

He's strange!

How long do you plan on eavesdropping?

Princess Hinoto!

Princess!

I thought I said...

...if you get in my way, come prepared to die.

Sneaking around like that...

I hate anything and everything about it.

Princess...

It's nothing serious.

It's just that my vision spell was reflected back.

Impossible. Your spell, Princess?

I had a good look... at his face.

That was the face of the boy who appeared in my dream.

So... that is "Kamui."

Not asking for the real reason behind the sorrow...

...I embraced you tightly.

The moonlight shone upon you...

...and all I did was intensify my love.

I'm so lonely that I can't sleep.

The more I love, the tougher it gets for me.

That's why I can become kind and strong.

Even sorrow will turn into memories.

I want to believe in it.

Because I can't yield my feelings for you to anyone.
