Original subtitles

In matters relating to the world of the dead

there is an institution that judges the sins of the deceased

the Ju-Oh-Cho.

The Summons Section of the Judgment Bureau

comprises a group supporting the ministry's operating functions

by guiding the lost souls that wander the mortal world.

They are also known as...

the Shinigami.

The suspect in this case, Maria Wong...

according to Chinese authorities, died two months ago.

It was suicide.

Maria discovered that her stepmother was only after her money.

She became distraught and ended her life.

But the Maria we saw was alive.

So, Maria's mom figured she'd lost her cash cow

and forced her daughter back to life.

And since the resurrection process was incomplete

she probably needs blood in order to keep herself alive.

You could say those are the facts of this vampire case.

To be more precise, rather than a vampire

she's really more like a zombie.

The undead, huh?

Hey! Check out my invention!

A friend to every housewife! It'll slice and dice anything you desire!

The Ultimate Slicer, Jason-kun!

With this, you'll no longer have your kids fighting over food portions!

Is that what we pay him for...?

Would you like this?

Are you sure?! Thanks, Tatsumi!

Tsuzuki, when you finish that, get back to Nagasaki at once.

I've been told from above that we can't allow any more victims.

The people above think this is easy.

They should get out there and pound the pavement themselves.

That's what I should be telling you!

You steal your salary with all your slacking around.

The mouth is the source of all disasters.

Uh, I understand!

I, Tsuzuki Asato, of the Summons Section of the Judgment Bureau

shall stake my credentials as a Shinigami to solve this case.

Let's go together.

Three o'clock at the restaurant, right?

Episode 2

Nagasaki Arc, Part 2

Hello, Hisoka-san!

Oh, this is my twin brother.

Nice to meet you.

Twins?

Nagasaki Music Festival

You think he was stood up?

Too bad. He's a good-looking guy.

That bastard. He stood me up.

The rule is we Shinigami have to work in pairs.

But I tell ya. The apple pie here is great!

That's 4,500 yen, please.

F-Four thousand five hundred yen?!

I won't accept wasteful expenditures.

I want you to keep your daily meal expenses down to 3,000 yen.

Could I have a receipt?

Sir! Your receipt!

Is it her?!

Somebody!

What happened?

My daughter suddenly collapsed!

We mustn't move her.

Wh-What should I do?

You have to call an ambulance. Right away.

What is the matter?

If you don't mind, I can take a look at her.

You're...

Are you actually a doctor?

I'm on staff at a hospital in Tokyo.

Her heartbeat is stable. Nothing to worry about.

There's too much sun here. Let's take her to the rest house below.

Doctor.

She's okay. She's regained consciousness.

Thank goodness...!

I suggested that she undergo a thorough examination.

Didn't I see you yesterday...? I'm sorry.

I'm Muraki Kazutaka.

Right. I'm Tsuzuki Asato.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's too bad you had to work, when you just came as a tourist.

I don't mind. That's the duty of a physician.

Bye!

She's so cute. Getting all excited...

The life force is so strong.

Do you think?

Humans are frighteningly fragile creatures.

No matter how advanced modern medicine may be

humans can never escape death.

I've come to realize this recently.

That there is a limit to what medicine or a doctor can do.

Don't you desire it?

A perfect physical form?

Sorry for the boring talk. If you'll now excuse me.

Oh, by the way, Tsuzuki-san...

I suggest that you be careful.

You don't want to lose anyone important to you.

That man...

Give me a break. I guess I'll get Gushoushin to help while he's gone.

Welcome!

Hisoka-san is in the back.

Huh?

Yes. It was a request from Tsuzuki-san.

Keep out

Secret Documents Storage Room

He's free to look at any document not relating to the register.

A-Again...!

It's way past the time we agreed to for our rendezvous.

Never would've thought you'd be here.

This has nothing to do with you.

Of course it does!

You're not allowed in here!

You don't even realize what you're doing!

Don't touch me!

My, my... You really don't like me, do you?

Let me make this clear right now.

You really don't want to be my partner, do you?

How are we supposed to get any work done?

S-Stop...! Stay away from me...!

Hey...

D-Don't touch me!

I'm very sensitive to the emotions of other people.

Uncontrolled by my will...

other people's emotions come flooding into me.

Hisoka...

Your harsh anger...

hit me hard.

I'm sorry.

But I'll tell you this.

I don't care what you think about me.

This is work.

Yami no Matsuei

Sorry for dragging you out.

Don't worry about it.

You're sighing an awful lot.

Am I?

You're thinking about Hisoka-san?

It's like there's some kind of barrier between us.

His words, attitude, his cold eyes...

Not surprising...

Well, I prefer to keep these private matters private, but...

He came from a very traditional, old family, and

when his parents realized his special abilities

they locked him in a cell.

Their own child?

What a frightening child.

He's kind of scary...

You monster!

He's not my child!

It's no surprise that he avoids you.

He's been living alone all this time.

He closed his heart in order to become a normal person.

So that he won't be hurt anymore.

How many times has he been betrayed and stepped on?

But he's not alone anymore.

Well, I guess a slacker like me doesn't really count.

What? You're the one who's hard to deal with.

I suppose.

There's not much we can do from here.

Yes.

I know!

Maria Wong's Performance

No... I don't want to do this anymore.

I'm quite impressed.

That you could break my spell.

Now, let's go.

No...!

You're so much more beautiful covered in blood.

Please stop this, Doctor!

I understand, Doctor.

That's right. This has nothing to do with your free will.

Now, come here. My beautiful doll.

Damn!

Maria thirsts for blood right now!

I can't allow any more victims...!

Young man? Excuse me, young man...

You'll catch cold if you sleep here.

Maria, kill him.

Kill him. For me!

Make him a sacrifice for me.

You fell right for the bait, Maria Wong!

You shall be judged according to the Ju-Oh-Cho!

You must come to the netherworld!

I-I can't move!

It looks like I win, Tsuzuki-san.

Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki!

And so may it be, by virtue of Hades

this summon shall break the evil spell placed upon thee

and shall banish the omen!

I'm sorry...

That kid...

This is becoming interesting.

You idiot!

How could set yourself up like that?! That's dangerous!

Thanks, Hisoka.

We Shinigami have to work together in pairs!

Wh-What's happened to me...?!

It's okay now.

But I...

killed people...!

You were regretting it, weren't you?

You can relax. No one will blame you for anything.

I really wanted to get along with my mother.

But she only saw me as a financial asset.

It wasn't me she loved, but rather the money that I earned.

That's why I...

I couldn't take it anymore.

I wanted to die and run away from everything.

However...

I was pulled back from the world of the dead.

I was dug out from the cold earth, and I saw the moon as red as blood.

I must have been consumed by that moon then.

But you are free now. No one will interfere.

Thank you. I am prepared for any judgment.

But I have one request first.

Yes? Oh, I'm very sorry.

We'll be on our way very shortly.

Where is that bitch wandering around?!

And I can't get a hold of the doctor!

Maria!

I'm always telling you to be on time!

What? Don't you give me that look!

I am no longer going to do as you say.

What'd you say?!

I'm not going to sing for you anymore!

I'm going to sing for myself!

How dare you talk to me that way!

Y-You people...?!

Nagasaki Music Festival

She wants to keep singing as long as she has consciousness.

She's a singer 'til the very end.

Watching her like this, it almost looks like she's back to normal.

The journey's only been postponed for a while with the spell.

In time, she'll revert to being a corpse.

She has such a beautiful singing voice. It's kind of sad.

That's what's most difficult about being a Shinigami.

Right! Let's have a drink tonight!

Oh. But you'll have to have juice.

I'm not hauling you off to bed again.

Shut up!

W-Wait!

I was so surprised. That I'd be able to see you here.

You know me?

Oh, you're still in the trance I put you in.

Trance?

You're very obedient. I'm pleased.

But I have to say...

I never would have thought a kid could be a Shinigami.

Hisoka!

I suggest that you be careful.

You don't want to lose anyone important to you.

Hisoka...

Keep Out

I'm so behind with sorting out this data, thanks to Tsuzuki-san.

Circumstances relating to the death of Kurosaki Hisoka...

Next Episode

Dr. Muraki, the one behind the serial killings, kidnapped Hisoka.

What is his objective?

It's your job to figure that out, Tsuzuki.

You wasteful slacker!

I-I understand! R-Roger! I'm off!
