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.

nureta hitomi no oku

Deep behind its wavering stare

aoi tsuki wa shizuka ni koboreochiteyuku

The pale moon quietly descends

Yami no Matsuei

azayaka na sekai wa

The splendid world

oto mo naku shizuka ni yami ni kieteyuku

Disappears into the darkness without a sound

byouyomi no naka kakemeguru yami no naka o

Running about in the dark as time runs out

soshite aratanaru toki o mukae ima

A new era beckons now

kizutsuita kuroi tsubasa

The injured black wings

tsuki no akari ni terasarete

Shine in the moonlight

utsukushiku maiagare

Rising upward in a beautiful dance

shinku no kuchizuke ga ima

The crimson kiss

kokoro no oku ni nagarekomu

Flows deeply into the soul

soshite yume no naka e

Penetrating into one's dreams

There's a small scratch on the cornea.

This is probably the contract.

Huh? Wh-What is this?

The one who has entered into this contract

shall gain stature as a violinist under the mark of the devil.

In exchange, when the contractor's goal is attained

he shall hand over the life of his daughter to me.

By daughter, does he mean--

Normally this contract would have been fulfilled

when Otonashi Tatsuya died accidentally.

However, because his cornea which serves as the contract

was transplanted to Hijiri...

Otonashi Tatsuya has, in a strange sense, continued to live.

This devil will have to fulfill the contract again.

The devil wouldn't accept anything less reasonable.

That's right.

Hijiri's life is actually in danger. He was even induced to commit suicide.

The devil wants to kill Hijiri

and eliminate Otonashi Tatsuya, who continues to live within Hijiri.

Then the contract will be fulfilled.

Episode 5

Devil's Trill, Part 2

To think the transplanted cornea contained a devil's contract...

It's like a really sick joke.

I know!

How about having another operation and get another cornea?

Forget it.

The moment the cornea was transplanted into the kid

he became the contractor.

- Yeah, yeah. - Oh, right.

There's no point unless we get to the root.

We have a chance of fighting him if we can figure out his identity.

We're checking into different areas--

But we can't seem to put a finger on it.

Hey, don't worry. It'll all work out.

You can be sure that we'll protect you.

Right, Hisoka?

Sorry, but I can't agree with that.

I'm not one to say that when push comes to shove, we'll manage.

I can understand you wanting to reassure Hijiri.

But who's the one who's going to suffer when you can't?

Kindness can be a weakness too.

Well, I have an appointment with Boss.

He's awfully uptight.

D-Don't worry about what he just said, Hijiri-san!

Hi.

Tatsumi-san.

Well? Are you getting a little used to the Shinigami job?

I don't really understand it yet.

I understand you're learning a few tricks from Boss.

There's no point in a Shinigami not being able to use spells.

And I want to be in an equal position with Tsuzuki.

Don't you think he's too kind for a Shinigami?

An irresponsible sort of kindness.

He may seem a little over-the-top.

But, in his own way, he's always very serious.

There's no deceit in what he says.

Tatsumi-san...

I know that you'll do well working with Tsuzuki-san.

I'll guarantee it.

See you.

Serious in his own way, huh?

Anyway, Hijiri, I don't want you wandering around outside.

There's no way of knowing when the devil will come after you.

You and Kazusa will stay here at the Ju-Oh-Cho.

That would be the safest.

Wait a minute! Are you saying I have to stay here the whole time?

Until I'm released from the devil's contract?!

You could say that.

You've got to be kidding!

That would be like just running away from the devil.

Besides, I have a concert coming up.

I can't just be hiding out here!

Wh-Where are you going?!

- I'm going home. - What?!

Whatever the devil has up his sleeve, I won't be defeated.

I'll be sure to survive.

You can't handle it. You're up against--

I don't know that until I try!

If that's how you feel, there's no stopping you.

Do what you will.

T-Tsuzuki-san?

Infirmary Room

Hijiri!

Hisoka!

I-I can't believe this.

It seems the devil's going all out now.

Thanks, Hisoka.

We could've been in big trouble if it weren't for you.

Just doing my job.

T-Tsuzuki, you're injured!

This'll heal quickly. I am a Shinigami after all.

It's true.

Anyway, I hope you realize it now.

That you can't fight the devil just because you think you can.

If you die, Kazusa will die too.

If you want to protect Kazusa, you will listen to what we say.

All right.

Can't do it.

All this work and I still can't figure out his form or identity.

This devil is a pretty tricky one.

But your face is beaming with pride.

You're actually happy this is a tough opponent.

Can you tell?

I'm taking this as a challenge to me!

I'm not going to lose!

Let's get Kazusa and return to the Ju-Oh-Cho for now.

- All right? - Sure.

Hi-chan!

Thank goodness. You were safe.

Sure.

Hi-chan, is this old man your friend?

Old man?!

Uh, yeah.

So you don't have to worry.

Hey, Hi-chan...

are you angry about the other day?

You came to see me, but I hid from you, right?

There was something really scary standing behind you.

Something scary?

So it wasn't because I didn't like you anymore.

Okay. Thank you.

It looks like that girl saw something.

Yeah. We'll have to look into this.

That's it for now.

I just have my sheet music and violin left.

Just bring as little as you have to.

Right.

Hey, you think Kazusa got to the Ju-Oh-Cho safely?

Well, Hisoka's with her, so I don't think we have to worry.

I guess.

Hijiri...

would you mind having a taste of my special curry rice?

I hope you like it.

Sure. Why not?

Well? Well?

Oh? So good that you're speechless?

That doesn't surprise me.

I used my special spices for this after all.

Hang in there. It'll be ready in just a little while.

The Shinigami has dead taste buds.

Where're my mints? My mints...

Anyway, I'd better get used to my new violin before the concert.

I'm counting on you.

You want that violin, don't you?

It is a part of your body.

Without it, you cannot live.

Now, I'll lead you to it. To the violin.

And you shall play it to your heart's desire.

I will grant you all of the glory and prosperity

and the comfort that you desire.

It's ready, Hijiri!

Hijiri?

Hijiri?

Damn!

I've found it.

Shit!

Hijiri!

Yami no Matsuei

You all right?

Did I--

Did I play it again?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Those people who are entranced by it lose their free will.

Damn!

I guess the devil knows my weakness.

I can't stand being taken advantage of like this!

Hijiri.

Tsuzuki.

I have a favor to ask.

That's strange.

It's unusual that I can't figure out its identity after this much searching.

Maybe it's some new kind of devil.

Don't be ridiculous.

I've seen this doggy before.

It was standing behind Hi-chan the other day.

What?! This?!

We're in for big trouble!

Tsuzuki!

Where are you going, Hi-chan?

I promised you that I'd play the violin for you, right?

I am to carry out that promise.

Watch it, Hi-chan!

So we finally meet.

I was getting tired of waiting, Devil-san.

Come this way, Hijiri-san!

Damn. A Shinigami, huh?

You were so good at hiding that I thought I'd invite you instead.

To Minase Hijiri's midnight concert.

I see.

But you all will regret that you lured me out.

Right now.

- What the hell is that?! - We're up against a big one.

That's Sargatanas, the leader of the spirit wanderers

follower of the great ruler of the netherworld, Astaroth.

To think a day would come when I'd actually meet him.

If you people had not interfered in the first place,

I could have finished the kid off with the violin.

I have no other choice now.

First I will have to destroy the kid

and then I will take the little girl.

I-Incredible!

That's the leader of the spirit wanderers for you.

- T-Tsuzuki! - Don't worry.

Hisoka, Watari. You guys take care of Hijiri and Kazusa.

Right. Leave them to us!

You're not getting away!

I bow to thee and beseech you. The Twelve Gods that protect me.

The sword of heaven, the living steel of nothingness, in the silver tusk.

Appear before me!

Byakko!

You worthless insects!

W-We've been saved, Hisoka.

Pretty incredible.

Even though he's just borrowing the powers

he's actually well matched against Sargatanas.

Tsuzuki.

- What's the matter?! - Hi-chan!

My eye!

Tsuzuki!

Hijiri!

Tsuzuki!

I'll rip your arms off!

Why, you!

Byakko!

You!

Tsuzuki!

Is everyone all right?

Never mind that. I just want to see your body!

What are you doing, Watari-san?!

You mustn't do that!

I don't see any sign of it anywhere. Thank goodness!

There's nothing there! You can relax!

Watari, is that...

- how you felt about me? - No, you idiot!

I was just checking to see

if that evil dog planted a parasite in you.

Parasite?

That's right.

When he possesses you, he leaves a mark where he has bitten you.

Generally most spirits, like devils and angels

don't possess physical forms of their own.

That Sargatanas is a parasitic type

who only exists by taking the form of others.

Well, from what I saw, there seems to be no sign of it.

You probably blew him away before he latched on to you.

That's a relief.

Thank goodness everyone's safe.

Tsuzuki!

Maybe you should take it easy for a while.

Don't worry.

A wound like this will heal in no time.

But it must hurt.

Just because you guys are immortal

doesn't mean you should just ignore it.

Do you feel concern for me, Hijiri?

I mean...

if you guys weren't around--

Thank you. But I'm really okay.

Come on. Don't look so sad. It doesn't suit you.

You must have suffered, you little insect.

You! You're still alive!

You mustn't underestimate the power of the devil.

The part that I bit will start to hurt.

Stop!

That is because I am entering you, each and every cell in you.

No! Get out of me!

I can't do that.

I've finally found myself a new host after all.

Look, my mark will soon reveal itself on you.

Of the black sheep.

The mark that turns its back on God.

You should feel lucky

that you were chosen to become a part of my body.

Poor little lamb.

Next Episode

Hijiri's back to normal

and the crime has been solved.

How about getting Boss some spicy squid as a souvenir?

What do you mean? Boss has a sweet tooth, if anything.

Don't talk to me about sweet things.

I have a weakness for it.

What? Hey, Tsuzuki. What's the matter?

Next time on Yami no Matsuei: The Devil's Trill, Part 3

Episode 6 Devil's Trill, Part 3

Those who live in the darkness wander aimlessly.

But what can I do but hold onto to it?

yami no naka de ore o utsusu garasu keesu ni kazarareta

In the glass case reflecting me in the darkness

ningyou ga sakki kara kowai kao de ore o miteru

There is a doll that has been scowling at me

ore no fuku kuchibue wa wari to akarui uta de

The tune I whistle is a bright and cheerful one

A little noise dedicated to the people of the world
