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.

That man in the picture.

He was a patient at my grandfather's hospital.

My grandfather, without hesitation

let the penniless patient stay for eight years.

Do you know why?

Without eating or drinking, and with no sleep at all

he had lived for eight years.

What?!

I've searched many years and have finally met him.

He looks exactly as he does in the picture.

Still the beautiful figure that he was when he committed suicide

on that snowy night 72 years ago.

Episode 11

The Kyoto Arc, Part 2

Tsuzuki.

Tsuzu... ki...

Hey, Tsuzuki! Tsuzuki!

A dream...?

Tsuzuki...

Signs: Fortune telling, charms, etc.

Oh, Tsuzuki-san...

I see you wear your watch on your right wrist.

Is that because you're a lefty?

Or is it to hide the scars on your wrist?

Yeah. That's right, Muraki.

I wanted to die. I slit my wrists over and over.

But I wasn't able to die.

How unlike you to be walking the Philosopher's Path.

How about a little fortune-telling?

Hisoka...

Have this.

You come up with bad ideas on an empty stomach.

Especially in your case.

Maybe...

Delicious!

Delicious, huh? That's good.

Thanks, Hisoka. I'll be all right now.

You're not being fair.

When it comes to strangers, you won't hesitate and charge right in.

But you hide everything about yourself. That's cowardly.

I suppose.

If it means inviting the scorn of you and the others

having you all know the truth about me, I prefer this.

I don't care if I'm a cowardly man who cheats himself.

Can't he trust me?

Does he think I'm not worthy of talking it over with?

You fool.

Hey, Tsuzuki! Hey, kid!

Watari?

It's time for work.

I've got some information about Muraki.

Morning practice?

You could say that.

What are you doing?

I'm moving onto my final preparations.

I see.

No one can stop me now.

No one can stop him, huh?

Muraki's practice is in Tokyo

but he comes to the university in Kyoto once a month.

He comes to see his mentor from his student days, Dr. Satomi.

Pretty good detective work.

You see the grocer about produce, a doctor about doctors.

Well, there it is.

Shion University

where they do the most advanced clone research in Japan.

Clone research?

It seems way too suspicious.

Oops, another dead end.

Hey, when are we going to get there?

Can we help you?

Uh, where is the university?

The university? This is the affiliated high school.

Affiliated high school?

Watari, you've got no sense of direction, do you?

The university's in the opposite direction.

If you'd like, we can take you there.

This is Dr. Satomi's laboratory.

Thanks. You really helped us.

It's nothing.

Without eating or drinking, and with no sleep at all

he had lived for eight years.

How about it, Doctor?

Don't you think he'd make a wonderful specimen?

How could a dream like this be real?

Come on.

Are you Dr. Satomi?

We have a few questions about Muraki Kazutaka,

a former student of yours.

I understand he visits you every month.

You must be mistaken. He's never come around here.

I believe you've been doing clone research?

Uh, yes. Although I prefer not to divulge any details.

- Can't blame you. - Is that all?

I have something after this.

Uh, wait a sec...

What the...?

He's alive. He really is alive.

Muraki-kun! He really is alive!

Did he come?

Yes. But don't worry.

I didn't tell him anything about you.

More importantly, I want him! I want him as my specimen!

I understand.

Now...

I'll be able to show those bastards who laughed at me.

That doctor stinks.

Yeah. I felt fear and denial in him.

Anyway, we'll keep an eye on him and wait for Muraki to make his move.

- Hey. - What?

Shall I tell you the result of this morning's fortune-telling?

Sure. Tell me! Tell me!

Compatibility between you and I.

The biggest and worst...

black omen.

Terrible...

But I don't think it'll get worse than this.

We've gone as far as we can.

We just have to climb now.

The Fushimi Inarini Shrine is a shrine for the god of merchants.

Well, we wouldn't really want our business to pick up though.

You didn't have to buy all of that at once.

I know, but...

Hey, there's a shooting range!

Good grief. He's like a kid.

Good evening.

Thanks for earlier.

I'll get you a present as gratitude.

Really?

Come on! Hit the darn thing!

Wow! You're so good!

- I know. - How lucky!

Excuse me, young ladies...

Did you happen to see a man dressed in black?

That man...

Dressed in black?

Oh, the people who were looking for Dr. Satomi.

I see.

How unfortunate that you saw...

that Shinigami.

The more you get upset about this, the more you'll miss.

Shut up! I'll get it if I have to kill myself!

Tsuzuki-san, I've come to get you.

Yami no Matsuei

Maki... Maki...!

Tsuzuki-san, isn't it wonderful?

These vultures just love human flesh.

Poor thing.

She died because she saw a Shinigami.

What's the matter, Tsuzuki-san? Is this too painful?

Let's get going, Tsuzuki-san.

Tsuzuki! Get out of here!

Again because of me...

Tsuzuki!

What?!

I'm sorry to disturb your fun.

Tatsumi-san...

But I won't allow you

to put this man in any further danger, Doctor.

Tatsumi...

Don't worry. I'll take care of that doctor.

I'm really sorry.

So, you are the secretary of the great Ministry of Hades?

I'm so glad we have an opportunity to meet, Tatsumi-san.

The same goes for me.

Quite the pleasure to meet a doctor with such an evil reputation.

An unsparing man you are. As I thought.

And it's not just my mouth that's unsparing.

I'm the type who prefers to completely wipe out those I don't like.

And you went after one of our employees.

I could never allow that!

You seem quite passionate about it.

Silence!

That's expected of a Shinigami. So hard to catch.

My clothes have gotten dirty.

You'll have to excuse me today.

Have you woken up, Tsuzuki-san?

- Tatsumi... Where am I? - A hotel room.

Don't worry about the bill.

I'll pay with my credit card.

What about that girl?

I took her back to her home.

I see.

Tsuzuki-san!

Another person died.

Because of me... Muraki killed her because she talked to me.

Don't blame yourself for this. You've done nothing wrong.

But still...

It's not like you to cry like this. Be a man.

I'm sorry... But still...

Don't you worry about a thing. Now, just get some rest.

Tatsumi...

What you need now is rest.

Thank you.

I'll make you pay physically for hurting Tsuzuki.

Muraki Kazutaka!

He was terrified.

His spirit was quivering.

He was deeply wounded.

What should I do?

I've never consoled anybody, nor tried to cheer anybody up ever.

How's Tsuzuki?

He seems quite upset right now.

He'll be all right once he rests.

I see.

You must be exhausted as well. You should go to bed.

Tatsumi-san.

I'm going to go with Watari-san to see Dr. Satomi.

So, Tatsumi-san, will you stay close to him?

I've never seen Tsuzuki like that

and, well, I just don't know how to deal with him.

I might end up saying something that will hurt him.

You've known him much longer, so he'll feel better with you around.

I only lasted three months when I teamed up with him.

I think you have a much better understanding of him.

But still...

Kurosaki. What's important is not the length of time.

And, at the very least...

you learned something about compassion after meeting Tsuzuki-san.

You just have to do for Tsuzuki-san what he did for you.

Tatsumi-san...

However, I will accept your request.

But next time, you do it yourself.

He'd appreciate that much more.

Don't we stand out like sore thumbs?

There's nothing to worry about. We are customers after all.

When I was told to come to Kyoto in place of Gushoushin,

I was asked from all over to bring back gifts.

Tatsumi, isn't this enough?

Hisoka's going to be pissed at me unless I get back to work.

Not to worry. Kurosaki-kun has official status.

Hisoka does?

Yes. You will be spending the day with me.

We'll hear from him, so there's nothing to worry about.

There's no doubt Muraki's involved with Satomi.

How do we get Satomi to fess up to that?

Leave it to me. I've got a great idea.

Was Muraki-kun here?

Muraki-kun?

You people?!

That's not the same story you told us before.

You said you didn't know Muraki.

Shut up! I'll call the police!

Fine. But I think you'll be the one to get into trouble.

Do you know how Muraki got hold of this?

Wh-What are you talking about?

Take a look at a newspaper if you want to know. Bye.

Who are those guys...?

Tired, Tsuzuki-san?

Not at all. I haven't had this much fun in quite a while.

Well, that's good.

Hey.

We came here for tea a lot when we were working together.

This town has sure changed since back then.

Yes.

Tatsumi. Thanks for today.

That sad look doesn't suit you.

I suppose. It's not going to do any good for me to sulk like this.

I'll just end up falling into his trap.

Tatsumi...

I don't want to create more sad memories of this city.

As long as Muraki's alive, he will go after that girl.

He's not going to kill her. I'll be sure to protect that girl!

That Mariko was apparently with Maki when she was killed.

I heard the police were investigating her.

Maybe Mariko killed Maki.

No. It wasn't me!

I saw it. I saw that man kill Maki.

Now, boys and girls

let me introduce the temporary teachers who have joined us

as well as some of the transfer students.

I am the eldest brother. Tatsumi Seiichiro.

I'll be teaching math.

I'm Asato, number two. I'll be teaching social studies.

I'm number three. Yutaka.

I'll be teaching science. Nice to meet you.

I'm the youngest. Hisoka.

Why are these guys in this school?!

Are they after me? At this rate, I'll be killed.

I'll be killed by the Shinigami.

Take a look at a newspaper if you want to know.

Mutilated body of woman found in the Kamo River.

The fact that a lock of hair was cut from the victim

suggests this was the work of a serial murderer,

who has been committing these crimes in the Kyoto area.

A lock of hair was cut from the victim?!

Tsuzuki-san...

You'll go that far to protect others?

You are so truly kind.

That kindness will be your downfall.

Well, isn't that right, Saki?

Next Episode

A past that can't be touched.

I cannot see anything.

I could not protect myself.

I cannot hear anything.

Tsuzuki, who had fallen into the trap set by Muraki...

The darkness comes again.

Episode 12 The Kyoto Arc, Part 3

Next time on Yami no Matsuei: The Kyoto Arc, Part 3.

Those who live in the darkness wander aimlessly.

arumikan no marui en o mashikaku ni orinagara

As I square the round edges on the drink

kimi o matsu machikado sa

I wait for you on the street corner

nakami no ekitai wa mou nurukute nomenai kedo

The liquid inside is warm and I can't drink it anymore

shikatanaku motsu ore sa

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

zensekai no hitotachi ni sasagerareta noizu

A little noise dedicated to the people of the world

dare hitori shiru hazu no nai kono merodi ga

No one could possibly recognize the melody

omae ni wa kikoeru ka? Sayonara da Love me

But do you hear it? Good-bye, Love me
