1
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:17,330
Those who ceaselessly hone 
their killing arts are known as "Masters."

2
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:22,780
After many generations, 
they have gained lethal abilities

3
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:25,290
called "Modified Bloodlines."

4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,690
This is the story of one such Master, 
the Poison Master, Hikaru Gero,

5
00:00:31,690 --> 00:00:34,250
and his attempts to get married.

6
00:02:07,430 --> 00:02:09,110
Gero, Gero.

7
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:09,110
Exhibition

8
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:09,110
Takeru

9
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:09,110
Shiratori

10
00:02:09,110 --> 00:02:16,120
This Week's Top Events

11
00:02:09,110 --> 00:02:13,010
Meet me tomorrow afternoon 
at the Avocado Oceanic Art Gallery.

12
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:14,250
A gallery on a ship?

13
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:16,490
Wait, what happened to finding my charm?

14
00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:17,930
Don't sweat it. Just be there.

15
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:22,970
Kinosaki's running late.

16
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:24,830
Gero!

17
00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:26,580
Thanks for waiting!

18
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,380
I took so long deciding 
what to wear, I'm late.

19
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:33,340
Come on. Let's go in.

20
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:38,180
D-Don't you know it's rude 
to touch someone out of the blue?

21
00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:40,030
What? Oh, come on.

22
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:43,640
People burn through hundreds of thousands
 of yen just to hold my hand.

23
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:55,820
Anyway, this is what people 
call a "date spot," right?

24
00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:57,200
Groveling
on Your Feet

25
00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:57,200
Why bring me here?

26
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,290
Today, you're going on your first date.
Or a rehearsal of it.

27
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:06,050
Gero, even if you do manage to get 
a woman's number and set up a date,

28
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:08,540
you'll only crash and burn
 the way you are now.

29
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:10,570
Don't you want to go in prepared?

30
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:14,050
S Dog

31
00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:14,050
What a cute doggy!

32
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:17,820
Come on. Say something.

33
00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:29,940
(5) Revised Edition

34
00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:20,830
A pretty shade of blue,
 don't you think?

35
00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:23,490
Oh, well, I mean...

36
00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:26,220
Blue, uh... The sky is blue.

37
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:29,430
You're too tense. Negative 10 points.

38
00:03:30,230 --> 00:03:32,570
This woman sure is gorgeous, isn't she?

39
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:34,310
Y-You think so?

40
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:37,810
Sh-She's not as beautiful as you.

41
00:03:37,810 --> 00:03:40,890
No one will buy that. Negative 100 points.

42
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:43,580
What am I supposed to say?

43
00:03:44,540 --> 00:03:45,580
Gero.

44
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,140
You don't have to try to impress me.

45
00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:49,040
But...

46
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:51,740
A good date is one 
where you both have fun.

47
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,620
Easy for you to say.

48
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:58,920
That's why we're practicing now.

49
00:03:59,590 --> 00:04:02,410
This is a thousand times harder 
than my apprenticeship.

50
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:07,570
I... I don't believe it.

51
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:08,770
Mixy-Mix

52
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:08,770
Mixy-
Mix

53
00:04:07,570 --> 00:04:08,770
What's up?

54
00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:13,660
A 40-year-old DIY candy kit.
The first ever! Mixy-Mix Zero!

55
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:15,230
It's valued at 30 million yen.

56
00:04:15,230 --> 00:04:16,340
Whoa, that price tag!

57
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:18,990
That's too little.
I'd pay five times that amount.

58
00:04:18,990 --> 00:04:20,910
But it's just a cup and some powder.

59
00:04:20,910 --> 00:04:23,290
Its value doesn't lie in the materials.

60
00:04:23,290 --> 00:04:25,870
It's like a monolith, 
guiding humanity into—

61
00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:25,870
Okay, let's keep moving.

62
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:30,650
You really do love those candy kits,
 don't you, Gero?

63
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:35,610
What is it this time?

64
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,740
I just thought it looked neat
 from this angle.

65
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:39,660
Seriously?

66
00:04:42,910 --> 00:04:43,990
It really does.

67
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:44,820
Right?

68
00:04:46,510 --> 00:04:49,520
Well, I guess I can give that 30 points.

69
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,450
Harsh.

70
00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:53,420
It gives me hope for the future.

71
00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:56,200
Listen, Kinosaki.

72
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,900
I appreciate the date rehearsal,
but don't keep me in the dark.

73
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:01,800
What's my charm supposed to...

74
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:03,960
Gero, look.

75
00:05:06,110 --> 00:05:08,310
What do you make of that guy?

76
00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:10,950
Well, I mean...

77
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:12,620
Djungarian hamster.

78
00:05:11,250 --> 00:05:12,620
Sorry!

79
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:14,870
The restroom was crowded.

80
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,450
Meerkat.

81
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:18,170
That's his wife next to him.

82
00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:19,700
And that's not all.

83
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:20,800
Mr. Shiratori?!

84
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,930
Mr. Shiratori?

85
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:24,040
Mr. Shiratori!

86
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:28,130
He's the most popular painter 
with young people right now:

87
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:29,630
Takeru Shiratori.

88
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:27,010
Please calm down! You could hurt someone!

89
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:34,940
Takeru

90
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:36,770
Takeru

91
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:38,280
Takeru

92
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:34,940
Takeru

93
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:36,770
Takeru

94
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:38,280
Takeru

95
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:34,940
Shiratori

96
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:36,770
Shiratori

97
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:38,280
Shiratori

98
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:34,940
Shiratori

99
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:36,770
Shiratori

100
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:38,280
Shiratori

101
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,950
Critters

102
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:36,780
Critters

103
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:38,290
Critters

104
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,950
Critters

105
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:36,780
Critters

106
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:38,290
Critters

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,950
Bodies

108
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:36,780
Bodies

109
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:38,290
Bodies

110
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,950
Bodies

111
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:36,780
Bodies

112
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:38,290
Bodies

113
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,970
He may look and act like a weirdo, 
but his fans wouldn't want it any other way.

114
00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:37,140
And all because he's a talented artist.

115
00:05:37,140 --> 00:05:38,280
Right.

116
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:40,320
Take some other examples.

117
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:43,770
A sportsman who always comes in clutch.

118
00:05:43,770 --> 00:05:45,100
Big Sis!

119
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:47,740
A doctor who saves 
a member of your family.

120
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,160
A musician who punches a hole 
in your boring, humdrum existence.

121
00:05:52,570 --> 00:05:55,620
They're liked for their talents

122
00:05:55,620 --> 00:06:00,300
in the same way looks and personality 
draw folks to people they know,

123
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:02,170
and those feelings are just as real.

124
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,130
I see.

125
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:06,260
So that's another kind of charm.

126
00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:07,380
But I don't—

127
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:08,680
You do, Gero.

128
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,020
Kinosaki, you don't need to do anything.

129
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:15,520
Just close your eyes for 30 seconds.

130
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,420
You took out a whole room full of bad guys
 and rescued me all on your own.

131
00:06:23,210 --> 00:06:26,010
How could that not be part of your charm?

132
00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:28,990
So forget matchmaking parties and apps.

133
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:32,790
What'll really let you shine 
in your quest for a partner...

134
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,960
is helping people.

135
00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:41,060
So rescue hostages and guard VIPs,

136
00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:44,420
and get them to fall for you
 while you're at it.

137
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,750
I know you can take on any job—

138
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:50,230
S-Slow down. I'm a Poison Master.
 I assassinate people.

139
00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:52,850
Nothing says you can't
save people, too, right?

140
00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:55,810
But I'd feel like I was 
taking advantage.

141
00:06:57,130 --> 00:07:01,280
Listen. It really doesn't matter 
how you get to know each other.

142
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,700
Mr. Shiratori, will you join us for dinner?

143
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:05,030
We'd love you to!

144
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:09,240
Whether you have ulterior motives or not,
it only gets you to the starting line.

145
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,820
The real test is...

146
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,210
whether you can build 
a happy relationship after that.

147
00:07:16,210 --> 00:07:17,220
Mr. Shiratori?

148
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:18,590
Mr. Shiratori?

149
00:07:18,590 --> 00:07:20,050
Mr. Shiratori?!

150
00:07:23,450 --> 00:07:26,980
Oh, Mr. Shiratori! 
Can I get your autograph?

151
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:27,970
Hey!

152
00:07:27,970 --> 00:07:29,860
Don't tell me that's why we're here.

153
00:07:27,970 --> 00:07:31,720
My Girl, She's Like the Sun, Yeah?

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,970
My Girl, She's Like the Sun, Yeah?

155
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:37,710
Sir, we think it's the work of Himekawa.

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,420
She won't get away with this.

157
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:44,420
The captain bowed, scraped, 
and poured blood, sweat, and tears

158
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:47,700
into collecting these works 
to make our visitors smile!

159
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,410
Don't let her get away!

160
00:07:49,410 --> 00:07:52,820
Sink anything suspicious 
that even comes near us!

161
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:54,380
There's nothing on radar.

162
00:07:54,380 --> 00:07:57,060
Then, she must still be aboard.

163
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:01,210
Get back My Girl, She's Like the Sun, Yeah?,
 whatever it takes!

164
00:08:02,510 --> 00:08:03,250
Captain!

165
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:06,470
My Girl, She's Like the Sun, Yeah?
 has been stolen!

166
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:08,220
It's a small price to pay.

167
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:15,060
Thanks, Chompsky.

168
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,810
Let's keep business out of our next date.

169
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Hey!

170
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,740
Hey, guys! Sorry I took so long!

171
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:43,790
Save girls when they're in a bind
and get them to fall for you.

172
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:46,420
I call it Operation White Knight.

173
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:49,300
What's with that look?

174
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,140
Nothing. It's just... 
I'm not much of a "knight."

175
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:54,900
You can be a squire, then.

176
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,680
Setting the name aside...

177
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:02,560
The question is, how am I going
 to find jobs rescuing people?

178
00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:07,330
Never mind.

179
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:10,550
I shouldn't have asked 
while you were eating.

180
00:09:11,540 --> 00:09:12,750
The Dark Nav?

181
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,450

185
00:09:12,750 --> 00:09:13,450
Yup.

186
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,590
Murder. Smuggling. You name it.

187
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,120
This site will hook you up 
with all kinds of shady jobs.

188
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,630
Finding rescue and bodyguard gigs 
will be a cinch on the Dark Nav.

189
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:27,610
You mean you've never used it?

190
00:09:27,610 --> 00:09:30,860
I've never even heard of it. 
All our jobs go through a broker.

191
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:35,220
Wow. Talk about traditional. 
You old families sure do things differently.

192
00:09:36,010 --> 00:09:37,680
May I take your order?

193
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,180
This one will eat for two.

194
00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:41,190
Five plates of marinated skirt steak!

195
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:49,320
I'm drowning in meat juices!

196
00:09:49,570 --> 00:09:52,140
I only see scam and smuggling jobs.

197
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:55,690
You could take your pick 
if you had an account.

198
00:09:55,690 --> 00:09:58,080
Well, excuse me for being old-fashioned.

199
00:09:59,470 --> 00:10:00,620
Hey, Kinosaki.

200
00:10:00,870 --> 00:10:01,970
How about this one?

201
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,130
Our demands are the artworks 
you've taken temporary custody of.

202
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,630
All of them.

203
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:13,930
We'll tell you where to exchange them
 for Himekawa later.

204
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:20,330
The criminal underworld knows 
Kyoko Himekawa as an infamous thief.

205
00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:25,640
But the truth is, malicious collectors 
steal art from the disadvantaged,

206
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,440
and she returns it all 
to the original owners.

207
00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:34,390
Himekawa trusted us with these artworks. 
We can't just hand them over!

208
00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:39,370
So we'd like you to infiltrate their hideout
before the exchange

209
00:10:39,370 --> 00:10:42,570
and rescue Himekawa for us!

210
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:49,310
I knew we didn't offer 
anywhere near enough money.

211
00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:51,880
But what can we do? We live gig to gig.

212
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,870
I know! I'll sell all of my organs!

213
00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:55,680
Kitami, calm down.

214
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
Calling all rescue specialists!

215
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
Client: Kenichi Kitami

216
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
Reward

217
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
yen

218
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
Client History

219
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
Job Description

220
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,340
Payment Details

221
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,260
Client Information

222
00:10:57,010 --> 00:10:59,680
Job Description

223
00:10:57,010 --> 00:10:59,680
Rescue our kidnapped leader.

224
00:10:57,010 --> 00:10:59,680
If you're a master of armed and unarmed combat

225
00:10:57,010 --> 00:10:59,680
with the athletic ability to sneak into any secret base,

226
00:10:57,010 --> 00:10:59,680
wouldn't you like to put your skills to the test?

227
00:10:57,010 --> 00:10:59,680
Experienced applicants welcome! Inexperienced ones, too!

228
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:59,680
It makes sense no one would take 
a risky job that pays so little.

229
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:04,230
But with no competition to be her knight 
in shining armor, this is Gero's chance.

230
00:11:04,690 --> 00:11:06,100
We're doomed!

231
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,190
Excuse me.

232
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:09,610
He's a Master from the Gero family.

233
00:11:09,610 --> 00:11:11,180
Hikaru Gero.

234
00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:14,150
I'm here to rescue your boss,
 Kyoko Himekawa.

235
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:18,830
Gero? You mean, the Poison Masters?

236
00:11:18,830 --> 00:11:21,630
Wh-What's a Master doing here?

237
00:11:21,630 --> 00:11:25,370
We'd need to sell all of our organs
just to cover the broker's fee!

238
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:30,920
Still, with a Master on our side, 
we'd rescue Himekawa, no problem!

239
00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:34,890
When you want to take a castle, 
start with its outer defenses.

240
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,220
Hey, you guys. I still have 
an important question for you.

241
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:43,700
Wh-What is it?

242
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,270
He does want our organs.

243
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,480
I assume Himekawa...

244
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:50,630
doesn't mind men who wear glasses?

245
00:11:54,890 --> 00:11:56,990
What Is "Charm," Anyway?

246
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:06,820
I've never found anyone 
as beautiful as I find you.

247
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,280
No Unauthorized Personnel

248
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,280
Beyond This Point

249
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,930
I'll guarantee you a life
in the lap of luxury.

250
00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:13,000
What would you say to giving up
 your petty thievery...

251
00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:17,540
and becoming part of my collection?

252
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,250
No way in hell.

253
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,290
I steal for what I believe in.

254
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:25,960
They're crying.

255
00:12:26,670 --> 00:12:29,640
All those works of art you took 
from their rightful owners.

256
00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:34,130
The late Egg Saturnia was a master 
of the Suntanned Beauty School of Art.

257
00:12:34,130 --> 00:12:40,040
The stolen portrait, My Girl, She’s Like
the Sun, Yeah?, is of his daughter.

258
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,830
It has a market value in 
the region of two billion yen.

259
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,120
I heard about you from an art dealer.
 He and Egg went way back.

260
00:12:48,730 --> 00:12:53,030
Please. It was the only painting 
of my wife we'd hung on to.

261
00:12:53,490 --> 00:12:54,730
And for our daughter...

262
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:56,950
Sorry...

263
00:12:57,490 --> 00:12:59,340
but I made that little girl a promise.

264
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,470
Don't worry. I'll make sure 
you get to see your mom again soon.

265
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,210
I promised to steal her back.

266
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,570
So don't cry.

267
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:18,400
Ushio.

268
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,020
Would you mind breaking her spirit for me?

269
00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:24,520
Seriously, Gero.

270
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,190
You were taking a big risk
 with that question.

271
00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:29,410
It threw them all for a loop.

272
00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:30,630
Men who wear glasses?

273
00:13:30,630 --> 00:13:32,190
Is it code for something?

274
00:13:32,190 --> 00:13:35,530
Letting them in on what you're after is 
about as far from a knight as you can get.

275
00:13:37,090 --> 00:13:41,040
Either way, I took the job,
 so I'll do it right.

276
00:13:43,210 --> 00:13:47,040
Man, I can't believe I'm making 
another trip here with you.

277
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,670
According to the freakishly accurate GPS
 her assistant, Kitami, lent us,

278
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:52,750
we should be almost there.

279
00:13:54,690 --> 00:13:55,970
Rats get exterminated.

280
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,180
That's the rule.

281
00:14:10,820 --> 00:14:11,800
Kinosaki.

282
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,900
Which way should we go now?

283
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:18,500
Gero, I really think 
I should sit this one out.

284
00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:21,280
I need you.

285
00:14:25,370 --> 00:14:29,990
I've never met this woman, 
and I've got no clue how to talk to her.

286
00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:32,250
Oh, all right.

287
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:34,040
Let's go over the basics.

288
00:14:42,140 --> 00:14:44,220
Stop, Ushio.

289
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:47,740
Some rats have snuck aboard.

290
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:49,730
Go mash 'em up.

291
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:55,280
What? That all ya got?

292
00:14:55,870 --> 00:14:57,280
Now...

293
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,020
Let's try something different.

294
00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:02,530
Hikaru Gero.

295
00:15:02,830 --> 00:15:04,140
Poison Master.

296
00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:06,200
W-Would you please...

297
00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:08,640
date me with the intent to marry?

298
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,800
Don't you dare.

299
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:12,680
If this were the real deal, 
you just killed your chances.

300
00:15:13,020 --> 00:15:14,500
So what am I supposed to say?

301
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:15,530
Freeze!

302
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:16,170
Or you're dead!

303
00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:18,230
Write this down later.

304
00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:23,160
The key to finding a partner is thinking
 through how things make them feel.

305
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,530
So forget marriage for now.

306
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:27,070
Huh? You're not making se—

307
00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:29,200
She doesn't care about your problems!

308
00:15:30,190 --> 00:15:31,400
Stop right there!

309
00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:35,880
Gero, you're the Master 
who came to rescue Kyoko Himekawa.

310
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:41,250
She's trapped in this place. 
She must feel numb with terror.

311
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,530
What will you say to her?

312
00:15:46,010 --> 00:15:48,370
Okay, let's run through it again.

313
00:15:52,580 --> 00:15:56,670
A gun? After all that buildup? 
Talk about a letdown.

314
00:15:56,950 --> 00:15:58,800
I'm sure you think so...

315
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,130
when it's pointed at you.

316
00:16:00,850 --> 00:16:01,880
Hey, wait!

317
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:05,030
I should've done this from the start.

318
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:07,900
You're a collector. 
You must know its worth.

319
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:12,850
To add you to my collection, 
it's a small price to pay.

320
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:16,110
You will be mine now, won't you?

321
00:16:18,090 --> 00:16:23,300
I promised to bring that girl's mom back.
 Now I'm putting her in danger.

322
00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:27,890
Fine. I'll do whatever you...

323
00:16:34,730 --> 00:16:38,750
My arm!

324
00:16:43,210 --> 00:16:46,700
What happened?! Who did that?! 
This room is supposed to be secure!

325
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,580
Thanks for giving me that makeover.

326
00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:03,290
Keep dreaming.

327
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,180
I'm Hikaru Gero, Poison Master.

328
00:17:07,710 --> 00:17:09,410
I'm here to save you.

329
00:17:10,020 --> 00:17:11,410
You're safe now.

330
00:17:12,540 --> 00:17:16,620
It's as simple as it gets, 
but it'll hopefully help cheer her up.

331
00:17:16,620 --> 00:17:18,920
A Master? Seriously?

332
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,840
We don't have that kind of money.

333
00:17:23,530 --> 00:17:25,850
What'd they do? Sell their organs?

334
00:17:25,850 --> 00:17:28,930
Oh, right. We'd only planned out
 his introduction.

335
00:17:29,250 --> 00:17:32,100
He jumped in before 
we'd finished rehearsing.

336
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:34,770
Oh, let me get those off you.

337
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:38,510
But I'm glad. We got here 
before the worst could happen.

338
00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:48,920
Kill those rats...

339
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,390
Water Master Ushio.

340
00:18:00,210 --> 00:18:01,880
Take a nap like your boss.

341
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:04,280
Water?

342
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:08,360
So fast.

343
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:09,110
Kinosaki!

344
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:09,910
Take Himekawa!

345
00:18:12,450 --> 00:18:14,810
Gero, you need to treat girls delicately!

346
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,310
Sorry! You can tell me all that later!

347
00:18:33,170 --> 00:18:34,450
Gero!

348
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:43,920
Forgive me for not 
introducing myself sooner.

349
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,420
Here is my card.

350
00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:48,840
Poison Master Gero, I presume?

351
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,530
What is she, a businesswoman?

352
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:55,480
I realize this is sudden, but would you 
consider settling this matter privately?

353
00:18:55,930 --> 00:19:00,530
A fight between Masters will result 
in greater losses than your fee will cover.

354
00:19:00,930 --> 00:19:06,080
So allow me to offer you ten times
 what your client is paying you.

355
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,640
This is business. I know you'll set aside
loyalty, compassion, and trust.

356
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:16,190
A businessman who sits down to dinner 
with his family every night at six

357
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,540
can never achieve exponential growth.

358
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:21,880
What is she talking about?

359
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,560
A professional should ignore 
unnecessary distractions...

360
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,570
and take action to ensure 
maximum output 24 hours a day.

361
00:19:24,540 --> 00:19:27,370
Gero's steroid thing. 
And there's still some left.

362
00:19:27,370 --> 00:19:28,570
I'd better grab it.

363
00:19:28,570 --> 00:19:29,220
Don't touch it!

364
00:19:32,020 --> 00:19:34,680
I see. That must be deadly poison.

365
00:19:36,430 --> 00:19:40,690
Masters pass down Modified Bloodlines 
along with their calling.

366
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,690
Modified Bloodline

367
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:46,730
The Poison Masters' one strengthens you 
in response to lethal doses of poison.

368
00:19:47,070 --> 00:19:51,050
You might call it a survival strategy 
adapted to the world we Masters live in.

369
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:53,340
Like hell it is.

370
00:19:53,620 --> 00:19:58,330
This curse forces us to finish off 
our targets before we drop dead.

371
00:19:58,340 --> 00:20:06,310
Curse?

372
00:19:58,630 --> 00:20:02,860
If you're a Water Master, your weird tricks 
must use a Modified Bloodline, too.

373
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Although they look like magic from here.

374
00:20:07,570 --> 00:20:12,690
As you say. And with all due respect, 
neither poison needles nor poison gas

375
00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:15,390
can penetrate my company's
 "business suit."

376
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:16,690
My company's business suit

377
00:20:15,390 --> 00:20:18,770
Its airtight design can stand up
 to extreme water pressure.

378
00:20:16,690 --> 00:20:20,600
DUN DUN DUUUN

379
00:20:18,770 --> 00:20:21,290
Now, as for our settlement...

380
00:20:23,070 --> 00:20:26,360
I see. How deeply regrettable.

381
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,360
SIGH

382
00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:35,000
I see.

383
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:39,960
The Poison Masters' Modified Bloodline 
makes you faster as you near death.

384
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:41,790
That is a setback.

385
00:20:41,790 --> 00:20:44,290
One hit, and I'm out.

386
00:20:44,290 --> 00:20:50,050
The Gero Poison Masters are one of
the Five Great Families. Industry leaders.

387
00:20:50,050 --> 00:20:54,130
Wouldn't you rather engage 
in more meaningful value creation?

388
00:20:55,310 --> 00:20:58,900
Or do you consider Himekawa 
a lucrative client?

389
00:20:59,310 --> 00:21:00,680
Or maybe something more?

390
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,650
Don't tell me you're romantically involved?

391
00:21:09,730 --> 00:21:14,010
Not much of a counterattack. 
You barely grazed me.

392
00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:17,950
The hell did he smear on—

393
00:21:20,910 --> 00:21:22,640
Himekawa and I...

394
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:24,370
are complete strangers.

395
00:21:31,650 --> 00:21:32,590
But...

396
00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:41,820
She might mean a lot to me someday.

397
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:48,840
He hit me three times in the same spot,
right down to the millimeter.

398
00:21:49,310 --> 00:21:53,740
I must say, I don't know 
what you're babbling about.

399
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:55,610
I bet not.

400
00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:58,920
From your perspective, 
I'm a nonsensical moron.

401
00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:59,870
But...

402
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,010
Remember sitting down to dinner
 with family every night at six?

403
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,130
That idea you dismissed as useless?

404
00:22:11,310 --> 00:22:12,810
That's the stuff I want.

405
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,930
Even if it kills me.

00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:49,540
I'm glad my first was Himekawa.

409
00:23:47,030 --> 00:23:49,050
I'll compensate you,
of course.

410
00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:48,640
I love these.

411
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,550
Date Mission, start!

412
00:23:49,890 --> 00:23:53,200
It's the first step toward 
the happy marriage I'm looking for.

413
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,630
Stealing my heart
ain't easy.

414
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:53,200
I want you to have 
the best possible marriage.

415
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,960
Next time: "My First."

416
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,960
My First
