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 6 Kouya

I can't stand doing such stupid things.

It just makes me hungry.

They look yummy...

All right! I caught one!

Hey! Sorata!

Again?

Oh, well.

What, you were here?

Then let's go.

Hangin' out like this, it's like a date or something.

We're just together because of work.

I know that, but it makes me all giddy.

The weather's nice, too.

A movie and a meal with you...

That's like a dream story for us, though...

...it would be so nice.

How about some tea?

It's a very popular cake. I waited in line for an hour to buy it.

The Osaka boy that you said you bumped into the other day, Yuto...

Yes, did you find something out about him?

The name is Sorata Arisugawa.

17 years old.

He is a visitor from Kouya Mountain.

Oh?

Kouya Mountain...

The main headquarters of the Shingon sect.

One of the sanctuaries still remaining in Japan.

So Kouya had been hiding one of the Seals, after all.

But to think that that boy was a monk...

Maybe I should say hello, too.

Please do...

He's an amusing lad who won't bore you.

How is he?

He ate just a little bit of the apples earlier, but...

I see...

I'll watch over him now, so go home and sleep.

It's all right.

You have the district finals tomorrow.

I'll watch him tonight.

It's all right. I won't play.

You can't!

You've been practicing so much for the game.

First off, the whole team would have a tough time if you bailed out!

Are you fine with that?

I can't help it.

This isn't the time for all that.

I'll watch over Father, so it'll be all right.

Father had been looking forward to the finals, too.

All right.

I'll play.

But I'll be at his side for the night.

I'll be fine without sleep for one night.

It's all right!

No.

Go home and get a good night's rest.

I'd be in trouble if you collapsed, too.

Right?

All right, I understand.

But you make sure you don't lose tomorrow's match!

Yeah, leave it to me.

All right, do your best!

Sure!

Maybe I am tired, after all.

OPERATING

Your mother's illness needs an operation.

It's a very difficult operation.

So pray with me.

OPERATING

Mother...

Kamui...

Are you all right?

I'm sorry. You came out here to visit my father.

It's all right.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you so much... Really.

Sure.

Shirou?

Um...

My big brother's playing in the district finals tomorrow.

I can't go because I'll be with Father,

but if you could, I'd like you to.

He's going through a tough time right now,

but I'm sure he'd do his best if you went there.

It's not my business.

I'm sorry for sounding so selfish...

She really is a good girl.

Kamui should be just a little bit kinder to her.

There aren't that many good girls like her around...

Of course, you're up there as well, missie.

I decided on you.

Well, you are really beautiful!

You're a priestess from Ise Shrine, right?

I'm sure you look great when you wear the priestess' outfit!

Could you wear the traditional garb for me once?

Though you wear that outfit only in emergency situations.

The hidden priestess is the protector of Ise Shrine.

She hides all the spiritual powers of the Ise gods in her, apparently.

Rumors of Ise Shrine's true spiritual offering...

...being hidden inside the hidden priestess' body were true, I guess.

That rough look on your face is so great!

SEINAN JOTOKU

What's wrong, Monou?

You're not yourself today.

We're in serious trouble.

Jotoku's setting the pace.

Don't sound so wimpy!

They may have height, but we still have more speed!

If we can perform like we usually do, I'm sure we can win!

Right, Monou?

Yeah...

Kamui...

Kamui has a good side, surprisingly.

But he's still far from amiable.

I'd like to see him smile once.

Well, I guess nobody'd be able to...

...with such a burden of destiny.

I'm much more sanguine compared to him.

Is that so?

I heard...

...of the star that the famous Kouya Stargazer carefully raised.

His powers are close to that of Kouya Mountain's founder.

Man, you'll make me blush with so much praise!

But I really...

...am sanguine.

I haven't suffered like Kamui with the death of his mom or anything.

I'd been brought to Kouya before I could remember anything.

Well, tough memories of the past...

No, I don't even remember those too much.

I'm all right.

I've decided on you already.

- Um... - Well...

The second half's beginnin'.

Since we came all the way to cheer 'em on...

...I hope they do their best.

SEINAN JOTOKU

Looks like that guy's finally gettin' up to speed.

Um...

I've been meaning to ask you...

If you're askin' where to get good okonomiyaki, I know a great place!

I'm not talking about that.

Then a place for takoyaki?

When I first met you, you said that you'd "decided" on me.

Yeah, I said that.

I've decided on you, missie.

About that... what did you decide?

The one who I will sacrifice my life for.

The old stargazer told me.

You will become one of the "seven stars of the sky."

You will use that power...

...to become one of those who will determine Earth's fate.

Sorata, meet Kamui and be of his aid.

And protect Kamui with your life.

But you will die for the sake of a woman.

For a woman?

That's right.

You will lose your life for the sake of the woman that you love.

Nothing the old stargazer's said...

...has ever not come true.

So that means I'm gonna die for the sake of a woman.

I don't know why I'm gonna die for a woman,

despite doing everything possible to protect Kamui.

But ever since I heard that, I decided...

that if I were to die for a woman...

...I'd rather have her be a beautiful woman.

You're really beautiful, missie.

That's why I decided on you.

We just met, and we've hardly talked.

- What basis... - One look is enough.

Time doesn't matter when falling in love with a girl.

I know that Kouya's astrology has never been proven false.

But this and that are...

It's nothing for you to worry about, missie.

I'm just gonna die on my own...

You're so...

Perhaps our destinies are really all foreordained.

All we can do...

...is live and die as the Seven Seals, as Dragons of Heaven.

In that case, it's all the more reason to live life to the fullest.

That's how I've felt since that time.

Hey! Sorata!

Wait!

Wait, Sorata!

Thanks for the food!

Hey! Sorata!

Leave the pastries behind!

Wait, Sorata!

What a boy...

He still hasn't had enough even after eating so much for supper.

Sorata's powers are increasing even more lately.

There isn't anyone here in Kouya that can win against him now.

The seven stars of the sky, the Dragons of Heaven...

In following the stargazing, I tore...

...a 3-year-old Sorata away from his parents and brought him here.

He doesn't even remember his parents' faces.

Even though it was to protect this world...

...I might have done something rather harsh.

You're thinking too hard, Gramps.

I like it here.

You're really scary when you're mad...

...but when you're kind, you're really nice.

And I'm really grateful.

Grateful?

Remember what you said the other day, Gramps?

That I'd die for the sake of the woman I love.

I can't remember what my mom's face looked like...

...except that she was crying.

So much so that I don't want to think about it.

It kinda looked lonely...

And seeing it made me lonely.

I don't like it when women are crying.

That's why I don't ever want to make the woman I love cry.

Gramps, you taught me how to use my powers.

So that I can die protecting the woman I'll fall in love with.

That's why I'm so grateful to you, Gramps.

Sorata...

So...

Gramps, pray with me...

...that the girl I fall for is gonna be one beautiful lady.

I'm still in my growth spurt.

- I can't help it. - Oh, it's Sorata!

Hey, Sorata!

Leave the pastries behind!

Sorata!

Gramps... looks like your prayers went through...

Well, I guess it's almost time.

Yes.

Then let's go.

BEAST

Rebound!

Go, Monou!

SEINAN JOTOKU

- All right! - We won!

Kamui!

I was surprised you came.

Thank you.

You should thank Kotori.

That really was so like him.

You got hurt because of me.

This is nothing.

I mean, I did decide on you, missie.

That's what I love so much about you, missie.

Gramps, look at her!

She's the woman I decided on!

Well?

Isn't she the most beautiful on Earth?

I'm gonna do it, Gramps.

I'll protect her and Kamui...

...with everything I have, as long as I'm alive.

You listenin', Dragons of Earth? I'll take you with just my right arm!

I'll crumple you into a little ball and throw you in the trash!

As long as I'm around, the future of the Earth is safe and sound!

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.
