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 3 A Pledge

What's wrong? Are you all right?

You were moaning a lot there.

It's better if you don't move.

Stay asleep.

It still might hurt a bit, but your bones aren't broken.

I wrapped your injuries because all you had were bruises.

If you get a good night's rest, the fever should go down, too.

Tell me if you're hungry.

I bought all this stuff...

I'll make you something.

We're friends, after all.

Oh, you don't need any just yet.

Just relax and sleep.

That's right.

It's best to take a nice, long nap.

That way, you'll be hungry, too!

Well, I'll be going home now. I'll leave the rest to you.

I'm Sorata Arisugawa.

No need to worry, I'm one of Kamui's friends.

I'm trusting you.

Yeah, leave it to me.

Really, thanks for all the hard work.

Kamui...

Kotori is worried about you.

I am, too.

Wow, he's a real reliable guy.

I guess that's what you'd call a nice guy!

But anyway, you've got quite a bit of healing powers...

You should have two or three broken ribs right now...

...but when we treated you, they were healed.

Nothing less from "Kamui."

You're talking real friendly for someone I've never met before.

I'm someone on your side.

Trust me.

What are you?

A monk.

I may look like this, but I'm a monk from Kouya Mountain.

Kouya Mountain?

Y-Yeah.

You might not be able to believe I'm a monk, but it's true.

Are you saying you're on my side because you're a monk?

That's not it, but...

Just listen.

Kouya Mountain's the headquarters of the Shingon sect.

Recently, we've been getting lots of tourists...

...and its mystique is starting to fade.

But still, up on the mountain...

...we have a fortuneteller called the Stargazer...

...a user of Sukuyodo.

In other words, he uses astrology based on Mikkyou.

And that old Stargazer told me a few days ago...

...that the star showing the destiny of "Kamui" has moved.

The star showing the destiny?

That's right.

The star of your destiny has moved.

And apparently, I've been born...

...as one of the seven stars in the sky, the Seven Seals.

So I've been getting all sorts of special training on the mountain.

And the day to use those skills has finally arrived.

In other words, the End of the World.

The Promised Day.

Until that day, I have to help "Kamui" and protect him with my life.

Yeah, I need to protect you.

And gramps said something else.

That "Kamui" was returning to Tokyo...

...after losing his only blood relative...

...guided by his own destiny back to Tokyo.

How's that, Kamui?

You came back here to Tokyo...

...because a blood relative passed away, right?

Looks like you came here to be killed.

W-W-Wait!

I'm sorry for bringing up tough memories!

But I still have something else to tell you!

Shut up!

Stop it, Kamui! I'm still in the middle of something...

Something important that I have to tell you!

I-I understand!

I'll go home! I'll go home, so stop that!

He's tremendously short-fused...

I really was this close to getting killed!

I can't do more today, so I'll come back later.

Sheesh...

This is Yuto.

What's wrong?

It's unusual for you to contact me using the phone lines.

It looks like I'll be late for our meeting...

...so I thought I'd call and let you know.

Where are you now?

I'm still in Ikebukuro.

It's more unusual for you to be late.

I was trapped inside a Barrier Field for a bit.

A Barrier Field?

Yes.

I was thinking about meeting Kamui...

...when I was interrupted by a funny little boy from Osaka.

And that boy put up a Barrier Field.

It was an amazing thing.

A kilometre on all sides in another dimension...

...and when it was released, the material plane was unaffected.

A masterpiece.

Then this is related to the End of the World?

Yes, and I would think that he was one of the Seven Seals.

You fought one of the Seals within his Barrier Field?

I'm sorry.

He was such an amusing little boy that I couldn't help myself.

But we had to call it a draw this time.

We had a visitor.

A visitor?

There was someone that had entered that Barrier Field.

What was that?

Then that person was also...

It was a boy of about high school age, but I don't know who he was.

I see.

I would like to hear the details over here.

Understood.

Am I bothering your amusement?

No, I just finished.

Then tell me, Satsuki.

Is that boy the true "Kamui"?

Beast answers yes.

I see.

One of the Seven Seals has contacted "Kamui"...

It will finally begin.

It will be so fun.

Have Yuto wait here when he arrives.

I'll be doing a little work upstairs.

Work?

I need to organize all the comments...

...that my boss will be making.

It's tough being a secretary.

I'm sure it is.

Can I get a look at what's upstairs someday?

Upstairs?

I don't mind...

...but it's a place that's so boring that you'd be disgusted.

Boring?

Yes.

It's so boring that you'd die.

I'm sure that it is that way.

Indigo

I'm sorry. Indigo

Indigo

Oh, thank you. I'm sorry. Indigo

Oh, thank you. I'm sorry.

Kamui?

How?

Are your injuries okay already?

I heard from my big brother...

...that you had serious wounds.

T-That's called indigo dyeing.

Isn't it beautiful?

Yeah.

Indigo dyeing is the oldest dyeing method in the world.

I was able to visit an indigo dyeing plant...

...during our school trip and see what they do.

They ferment the indigo...

...and the culture that grows is what creates the basis for the colour.

They dye the fabric over and over like that...

...to make something that colour.

It's so magical.

It's beautiful.

Yes.

It's like the colour deep in the ocean...

It somehow has a natural warmth.

It's a color that calms the soul.

I'm going to that plant during summer vacation...

...and I'm going to learn about the process.

I heard it takes ten, even twenty years to get colours like that.

But I think I want to try.

That's my dream.

Ten... even twenty years...

Yes.

Thanks.

See you...

Checkout

Can I check this out? Checkout

Checkout

Sure. Checkout

Sure.

Here you go.

Please return it by the 4th of next month.

Okay.

I'm sick and tired of being spied on.

Or is it coincidence?

It can't be that you came here worried about my wounds.

You wouldn't believe me even if I said I did.

Of course not.

Tell me...

Who's the one that's seeing through things about me?

If you won't tell me, your head will fly.

Do as you wish.

But I will tell you one thing.

Nobody can escape from their destiny.

Shut up.

Talking about destiny again?

I couldn't care less about that!

My destiny is to live as one of the Seven Seals.

And I abide by that.

Everyone else can do what they want.

While you're at it, tell whoever's commanding you...

...if he has no wish to give me the Divine Sword...

...I'll disappear from Tokyo.

And never get near me again.

Next time, I'll kill.

Lady Arashi...

Lady Arashi, one of the Seven Seals.

Please...

Protect "Kamui."

"Kamui" is the one who holds the key to the fate of this world.

Please...

Protect him.

I'm home!

Oh, welcome home.

I'm a little late today because I stopped by the library.

What's up?

You look rather happy today.

Well, I guess so!

I see.

That's great.

I'll get ready for dinner now.

Yeah, thanks.

Saya...

Kotori and Fuma have grown up rather well.

But the time is definitely coming closer.

The time that they find out about their destinies.

To accept their destinies as ones born to the Togakushi family.

After six years...

It's begun to move once again.

Dear...

Please, the children...

Take care of Fuma and Kotori.

Saya...

I apologize...

Because you wed into the Togakushi family...

...you had to face all this.

No, I...

I was happy.

So much that I couldn't wish for anything more.

I was really happy...

Fuma, Kotori...

Your mother's illness needs an operation.

It's a very difficult operation.

So pray with me.

All right?

The Final Battle.

For that battle, I lost you...

...and her, Kamui's mother, as well.

Even though that is our destiny...

It's all too...

Kamui...

The swelling's already gone down?

Yeah.

I see.

That's good.

Try it.

Great! Nice shot!

Why don't you join the team?

You could be on the main team in no time.

I came here to say thanks for yesterday.

Don't worry about it.

I just kept the promise I made long ago.

You remember, right?

How you saved Kotori atop the tree at the park?

I promised you back then...

...that when something happens to you, I'll protect you.

And that won't change, either.

Ever.

I've forgotten.

You should forget it, too.

Kamui...

And don't ever do things you don't have to.

That's our new promise.

Who is it?

It's not... Kamui...

What do you want here?

Who are you?

Answer me!

Nataku.

One of the Seven Angels.

Angels?

My house is that way!

Kamui, over here!

A strange guy flew out from the direction of Togakushi Shrine!

That's him!

Big Brother!

Hurry, call an ambulance!

Kamui! Let's split up and attack from both sides!

Damn you.

The Divine Sword...

Kamui!

Damn it...

What the hell was he?

The Divine Sword has been stolen.

The Divine Sword?

Really?

Damn it...

What should I do?

It's turning out like Gramps Stargazer said.

Like he said?

The Stargazer at Kouya...

...already knew that the Divine Sword was gonna be stolen.

That's why he was in a hurry to send me here.

What was that?

Why didn't you tell me?

I was trying to tell you!

I said that I had something important to tell you!

But you, Kamui, refused to listen!

Am I wrong?

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.
