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.

Wow...

Look, Poe.

Isn't it pretty?

I can do this without using matches.

See? Look.

Mama...

Look, Mama. Isn't it pretty?

Mama?

Devil...

Episode 19 Inferno

Oh?

Mr. Aoki...

Excuse me.

Yes?

Um, I'd like to submit this...

Divorce papers, I see.

Well, are you filing this yourself?

Yes.

Um, well...

Can I really accept this?

I mean you seem to be slightly hesitant about this, so...

If you're still debating, I'll return this to you.

I'm honoured that you'd worry so much.

But it's all right.

I've already made up my mind.

So you're another one...

Concerning the End of the World...

I see.

Yes.

If you don't mind, how about tonight?

Tonight?

Yes.

11:00 at Tokyo Station.

Understood.

Then I will accept this.

Thank you.

Mr. Aoki...

What's wrong?

The Kamui of the Dragons of Earth told me...

That you would be able to find out what I really am.

What meaning is there in finding out?

I don't know.

But...

Oh, Mr. Aoki.

Someone named Ms. Kasumi from "Flower" called you before.

She said to call her back.

"Flower"? You mean that...

Y-Yes...

Is this for real, Mr. Aoki?

N-No, it's not like that at all.

Oh, sending such a serious guy like Mr. Aoki to a place like that...

...really was a bad idea!

They say serious people are more at risk for falling for it.

I-It's not that!

I just went there for work!

For work!

Come to think of it, I recall you coming back pretty happy then.

Yeah, that's true.

I-Impossible.

T-That's...

That's because... Probably...

FLOWER - Aesthetician-style

Is this what you needed?

Yes.

It's valuable information that can be heard...

...only from industry people.

I'm sure my artist will be very happy.

It must be hard working in publishing...

Coming out here for research.

Artists are very busy people...

...so it's my job as editor to help any way I can.

I see.

By the way, do you have a family?

I have a wife and daughter.

Just as I thought.

All the good men are always married.

Oh, it's already this late?

Are you sure you only need to talk to me?

Well, um, I...

You think I'd let you go with just a chat?

Just kidding.

You think dearly of your wife and daughter, don't you.

Yes, they're the family I want to protect above all else.

I'm jealous of such a family.

It's something I've never had...

Oh, sorry to bog you down like this.

N-Not at all...

It was fun today.

Next time, come as a customer.

I'll be extra special.

S-Sure...

It's true she was a charming person...

But that was it.

Hm, kind of suspicious...

Yeah, definitely suspicious.

One of the Dragons of Heaven, Seiichiro Aoki?

Yes.

He seemed to be a good family man.

Though he became single again a few moments ago.

In other words, you accepted a challenge from him?

It seems so.

In any case...

...I don't think that Dragon of Heaven will come by himself.

I'll send someone as backup.

No, don't worry about me.

I'm sure he'll come alone.

I'm sure of it.

Well, I'll contact you again later.

I found something out.

About who you are.

Tojo Pharmaceuticals' president...

...had a granddaughter named Kazuki who died from illness.

Soon afterwards, her father committed suicide.

Tojo Pharmaceuticals began clone research around that time.

In other words, the president, Tojo...

...tried to recreate his heirs using Kazuki's womb and her father.

That's what Beast decided to be the case.

I am Kazuki?

You're Kazuki, and you're also her father.

Why do such a thing?

For what purpose?

Well, I don't know that much.

Let's see.

It's hard to understand what people do.

I'm sure Beast can't find an answer, either.

Before that, Nataku...

I have a favor to ask. Is it all right?

Um, this is Aoki...

Oh, sorry for calling you at work.

No, it's all right.

Did something happen?

Yes, I have something I want to discuss.

If you don't mind...

...can you come over to my place after work?

To your house?

I'm sure I'm troubling you with such a sudden request.

No, I can make it if it's around 9:00...

I'm glad.

Then I'll be waiting.

All right.

Why...

Why was a devil like you born from me?

I won't do it again, Mama!

If you weren't here, I wouldn't have to hide like this!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I won't be fooled anymore, devil.

Nobody would be sad if you weren't here!

- Even if I died? - That's right!

Nobody would cry!

Why would they bother?

Mama, what's wrong?

Mama!

Mama!

What's wrong, Mama?

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

I'm sorry for calling you out like this.

Not at all.

Can you sit there for a while?

Sure.

It looks like you've taken good care of this friend.

Oh, that's true.

It's the only family I have.

Here.

Thank you.

I heard about Mr. Saiki...

What a pity it was...

I heard that he was your nephew.

I'm sure you were hit the hardest.

I feel your pain.

Daisuke made me promise...

...not to cry if he died.

He decided to protect Princess Hinoto when he was very young.

So he told me not to cry when he died...

...because that'd be when he protected her till the very end.

When did you make that promise?

When he was 13.

It's hard to not be able to cry when a loved one passes away.

You mustn't force a promise like that onto others.

All right.

By the way, are your wife and daughter doing well?

Yes, but considering the battle to come...

...I need to prepare for the worst.

Is that why you filed for divorce?

I'm sorry.

I was right there at that time.

I was submitting a change-of-address form.

I-I see.

You could have said hello.

I was about to, but you seemed very solemn.

I'm sorry.

I finally decided on divorce...

...so I wouldn't get my family involved in all of this.

But when this Final Battle is over...

And if I remain alive...

I'll make sure to marry my wife again.

I see...

That's a relief.

I'm so glad.

So that must be what you wanted to discuss.

I'm sorry to have made you worry.

I have to go back soon.

Please excuse me.

Wait.

You can't go back.

I'll go to Tokyo Station.

No, I promised I would go alone.

No.

You have a family.

There are many who'd grieve if something happened to you.

For you as well...

I don't have anyone.

There's nobody who would cry for me.

That can't be...

The reason I had you come was because I wanted to tell you that.

You have people waiting for you.

Kamui and the other youngsters have a future.

So I should be the first to face danger...

...because no one would be sad if something happened to me.

Did you think I'd say yes to that?

I didn't.

That's why I fooled around with your tea.

Karen...

Poe, guard Mr. Aoki.

I'll have things all settled by the time he wakes up.

Oh?

There're still 15 more minutes...

Hasty person.

Are you alone?

I was expecting the one who works at the ward office.

You are not the one I was waiting for, either.

In other words, we're both taking someone else's place.

However, breaking the Barriers...

...is the wish of the Kamui of the Dragons of Earth.

I will abide by that.

I see.

Hasty people aren't well-liked!

Will you go on?

You must not like dying, right?

Stop trying to break the Barriers.

Why must I dislike dying?

I do not have such feelings.

Your eyes...

Just like a lost child.

Lost child?

That's right.

Because I was like that.

These things saith he...

...that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand.

I know thy works and thy labour.

What's wrong?

Pray for your mother.

Now come over here.

What's the matter?

I'm a devil!

Can you get rid of me?

Try it if you can.

Though you might burn to death.

Are you surprised?

Y-Yes...

Are you scared of a devil, after all?

Of course.

Everyone is afraid.

However, a devil...

...doesn't have eyes full of fear like that.

My mother said I was a devil!

She said this power was the devil's power!

I don't think so.

Power is something that can be used for good or for evil...

...depending on how one uses it.

I don't know the meaning of that power.

However, I believe that it was something the Lord gave you...

...when you were born into this world.

I'm sure He will guide you to the answer in time.

You're lying.

I'm a devil!

To me, all you are is a lost, little lamb...

Believe in yourself.

And wait patiently until the Lord shows you the answer.

Now let us pray together.

It's tough not knowing what you really are...

There's no such thing as a creature with no emotions.

I'm sure you have emotions, too.

Is Mr. Aoki unable to make it?

I made an appointment with him.

Yes, he had a sudden change of plans, so I came in his place.

Disappointed?

No.

You use water...

My makeup will be ruined.

I'm sure you're more beautiful without makeup.

Thanks.

I'm tired now because I haven't done water tricks in a while.

I must be getting old.

Oh, you must still be young.

I just try to look it.

This is pretty.

Oh, no, this is nothing.

You really are much younger than I am.

I lost speed after being barred by your fire.

If you dodge, no good comes out of it for me.

It was coincidence that I dodged that.

You're being modest.

You couldn't dodge this time.

How beautiful...

Like a flower that blooms underwater.

Mr. Aoki!

You came just like you promised.

I knew you would.

But you don't seem to be in the best condition.

My friend here is hurt, as well.

Since we both need to take care of our partners...

...how about we call it a draw for now?

All right.

But when we continue this...

...I would like you to ask for me.

I'll remember that.

See you.

That wound...

You did it yourself to wake up from the medication.

I borrowed the fruit knife in your room...

Why did you do such a thing?

Your wife would be worried about you!

That's exactly what I want to say.

If you were to pass away, nobody would cry...

Do you really mean it when you say that?

I'm not good at being angry...

...but if you think like you did earlier...

And go off by yourself again...

I will be very angry.

Got that, Karen?

Mr. Aoki!

I'll take a little nap here...

Now let us pray together.

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.
