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.

A Shinigami is after me.

Good morning.

Considering I'm already being ostracized because of Maki's death...

Please feel free.

No, thank you.

They follow me night and day!

Can I sit with you?

This is turning into a living hell.

Back in the Meiji Period

it was a daily occurrence for a man to be attacked on the streets at night.

It would be all over the newspapers.

You sure know a lot of strange stuff, teacher.

Well, I was born just around that time...

Teacher, never mind your idle chatter! Let's get on with class!

I'm sorry.

Teacher, your little brother's pushing you around.

Why do they laugh so much? These guys are Shinigami.

Episode 12

The Kyoto Arc, Part 3

They pretend to be human. They pretend to be normal teachers.

They're watching me. They want to kill me.

- Are you all right? - Ikaruga!

What do you want?!

What are you saying I did?! Who are you people?!

Maki getting killed like that, and all this happening to me...

It's all because of you and that doctor!

I want my best friend back! I want Maki back!

You evil demon!

Don't worry about it.

I don't care what she calls me as long as I can protect her.

That's what I've decided.

Saki, do you remember?

The time when you first came to my house?

I remember clearly as if it was only yesterday.

That day when the devil descended before me.

Kazutaka, this boy is your older brother.

Nice to meet you, Kazutaka.

A step-brother, a little older than me, Shido Saki .

I had a sibling like that.

What I couldn't forgive the most

is that on the day I received life in my mother's womb,

my father had already impregnated another woman.

Regardless, Saki...

I tried my best to get along with you.

The man who caused this is the one to blame.

But you...

Poor thing.

First it's his father, and now his mother.

One of those "mysterious deaths." How creepy.

You were laughing back then.

Like the first time that we had met.

That's when I knew the true meaning of that derision.

Saki...!

Were you the one who killed them?!

You bastard!

Young Master.

Sakaki...

You took everything away from me.

These past 16 years, I've lived only to finish you off.

Soon I will have a body for you.

This time I'll kill you with my own two hands!

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

Serial Killer on the loose!!

I received the sample hair two days after the murder.

Muraki-kun couldn't have...

Muraki-kun!

Doctor, about that specimen.

- Did you get him?! - It's not so easy.

I see.

However, I've set a trap.

Trap?

Can I count on your help?

It's nothing difficult.

There's only a little more to go until you take the world by storm.

That's right...

You evil demon!

Are you all right, teacher?

You should go to the infirmary.

I'm fine. It's just a scratch.

No. I must take you to the infirmary.

Hey, that's not fair!

- I'm taking him! - I am! I am!

Fools...

Infirmary Room

I at least have to pretend, or they'll give me a lot of grief later.

Excuse me. Can I get a band-aid?

Well, Tsuzuki-san. What's the matter?

Muraki!

I'm standing in for the doctor on duty here.

I didn't kill him.

I wish you wouldn't look so angry.

By the way, are you free tonight, Tsuzuki-san?

I have tickets to a Noh performance.

Would you like to come with me?

What are you up to?

Ikaruga Mariko san...

we have a message from your mother.

Please come to the office right away.

That voice!

Dr. Satomi!

You really don't have a choice in the matter, Tsuzuki-san.

If you refuse...

that poor little Mariko-san will die.

What're you talking about?! Hisoka's watching over--

They got her!

What?!

Muraki...!

You promised.

Don't you lay a finger on her.

Yes. But only if you honestly answer my questions.

Note: Momiji-gari means "Mapple leaves viewing".

Momiji-gari, eh?

A performance perfect for the season.

Taira Koremochi, who received an Imperial Order

confronts a demon that terrifies people at an autumn banquet.

This is the fifth.

I don't care to listen to your stupid interpretation.

This Noh performance was just to draw me out, wasn't it?

Tell me! Why did you draw me out?!

It emerged out of my grandfather's belongings.

This is a picture of you 72 years ago.

I don't remember...

I can't blame you for not remembering.

Back then you were incapable of rational thought.

With the exception of regaining consciousness once

without water, food or sleep, you managed to stave off death.

That's a lie. I don't believe it!

Those beautiful purple eyes of yours...

A color that one never sees in human eyes.

After looking over the materials left behind by my grandfather,

I found genetic information there that was not human.

I'm sure you also feel it somewhat. Some special quality about you.

A body that does not deteriorate.

You can never die from any wound.

Now, Tsuzuki-san.

What are you?

Are you really human?

Tsuzuki-san, you are...

a monster with the blood of a demon.

I've long had a dream that can never be fulfilled.

Yami no Matsuei

What do you mean?

Just as I said, this is the end of our association.

What are you talking about?!

I'm sure the experiment will work with that man's immortal cells!

It's okay now.

I already have the bait to draw him out.

- You tricked me! - How unfortunate.

I was more interested in cloning research

for transplanting body parts rather than creating a human body.

However, your research did not progress that way.

Besides, your vainglorious indulgences have changed you.

What's wrong with that?!

Eventually my research will become standard!

Head, hands, organs...

What's wrong with creating body parts for the body?!

This is research that will benefit mankind!

For mankind?

I suppose that's the basis of our fundamental difference.

For you, medicine is aimed at improving the human state.

My research is aimed at killing humans.

Y-You're insane...!

Have you finally realized?

Did you kill them all?

You said that you'd collected from the bodies that had no kin.

I'm going to have you die and take all of the blame with you.

Good bye, Doctor.

Tsuzuki-san, I will return her as promised.

Hey, Hisoka. Sorry for dragging you out here.

I wouldn't want you falling into a gutter after all.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Hey, you've had too much.

Hey, Hisoka, apparently I'm not human.

Then, what does that make me?

Tsuzuki...

If I'm not human, then...

who am I?

What're you talking about?

When I was a kid, I got teased a lot.

I was different from everyone... Different from everything...

They said I wasn't human.

Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki!

You fool!

Hey! Stop that!

Th-This is... Tsuzuki's past.

Discrimination, persecution, loneliness...

guilt for being alive.

I always knew I was different from other people.

You were beaten up so badly that time.

But I just wanted to be one of them.

I just wanted to be human.

You are a human being. I guarantee it.

Hisoka...

You've always been a human being.

So, don't cry anymore.

- Hisoka. - What?

Am I human?

Yeah. You're human.

Right. I'm human...

Ikaruga?

She'll be fine.

She'll wake up eventually.

Thank goodness.

I think we should keep her here for a while.

Yeah.

What is it?

I'll stay with her tonight, so you can all get some rest.

Are you sure?

I'd like to stay close to Mariko-chan at least this one night.

I see.

No one will kill you.

I'll be sure to protect you.

Tsuzuki...

Open your eyes.

The one who tormented you...

Kill the one you detest.

Ikaruga?!

It seems that...

Muraki wants to use Tsuzuki-san's body for a genetic experiment.

I see.

That old man Satomi probably got duped by Muraki.

We'd better protect him or Muraki will do him in.

Right. We'll deal with it first thing.

Please. He could be a very important witness as well.

What's going on?!

Stop it! I said stop it!

Stop it! Please stop!

Stop!

Please stop. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.

Anyone...

To protect our master is the duty of us Shinigami.

Stop it, Suzaku. Muraki is manipulating that girl!

- Get back! - Purify your soul with my fire!

I'll lead the way!

Stop it!

It's hot!

I can't breathe!

Help me! Murderer!

What the hell's going on?!

Kurosaki?

He's lost his mind.

Tsuzuki!

Watch it!

It's trying to intimidate.

Like a parent bird does to protect its offspring.

What...?

But Tsuzuki's right there!

I've died again.

Nothing changes.

It's too late...

Tsuzuki...!

Thank you.

- Hold it! - No!

He's leaving us, Tatsumi-san!

What's this?

Muraki!

Tsuzuki... Tsuzuki...

Tsuzuki...

Tsuzuki!

Next Episode

He could not die.

He could not save.

Tormented by his own past...

Tsuzuki strayed from the course and lost control.

But he had warmly protected me without touching my past.

So this time, I will...

Episode 13 The Kyoto Arc, Part 4

Next time on Yami no Matsuei: The Kyoto Arc, Part 4.

Those who live in the darkness wander aimlessly.

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?

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
