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.

soshite yume no naka e

The land that is Kyoto...

is a place with quite a strong spirit energy.

Personally, I find it...

I find the energy at Sagano to be comforting.

Comforting, you say.

That's something I should be worried about.

Whenever you come here

it's only because of some sinister plan you have.

Oriya, I have a favor to ask.

A card key?

When the Shinigami come after me

use this as a decoy and stall them.

Even if only for a minute or a second.

Don't worry.

I won't cause you any more trouble after this.

Don't, Muraki.

When all of this is over, I will disappear.

Stop this! Don't talk like this is the end!

Why do you always have to be like this?!

Why...?!

I have no choice.

I've been programmed like this ever since that day.

This is what I am.

Well, I'll be counting on you.

Episode 13

The Kyoto Arc, Part 4

- Drowning? - Yeah, I hear it's a drowning.

He was a college professor?

Things are pretty ugly with suicides and serial murders.

And he was our only witness relating to these incidents.

He's not coming back anymore.

Tsuzuki didn't want to hurt anyone anymore.

But, in the end, he gave priority to his own life.

He despaired over himself

and buried himself in a deep darkness.

I doubt that Tsuzuki will ever return.

Keep your wits about yourself, Kurosaki-kun!

If you, as his partner, are going to say that

we'll never be able to get him back from Muraki!

But, even if we were able to save him

he might not be able to be his self again.

To me, or to everyone else...

He'll probably have forgotten everything.

It's not as though we've forgotten him.

As long as we remember him, he will continue to exist.

His existence is certainly not reduced to zero, Kurosaki-kun.

Not reduced to zero...

Let's go! We have to save Tsuzuki!

We checked out every hotel in the city

but Muraki's name didn't come up.

But then again, he wouldn't use his real name anyway.

And, on the outside, this is a high-class establishment for VIP's.

But it's actually a house of prostitution.

Moreover, the young master in charge of here...

I hear was an old high school friend of Muraki's.

I see. A perfect place to hide.

Welcome to Kokakurou

my dear Shinigami from the land beyond.

Tell us! Where's Muraki?!

Don't throw a hissy fit.

Muraki's in the basement at the university.

Probably with that guy you're looking for.

Hold it!

He's probably set up an energy shield in the basement there.

So you won't be able to get past it even in spirit form.

You'll need this in order to get in there.

Our swords are brothers of the same mold.

It is only through your strength that you can win.

I will not lose!

I see.

I can't let myself lose as well.

He made me a promise after all.

Kid...

I suppose we'll see whose will is stronger.

You going to be all right, kid?

Only Kurosaki-kun has a particular interest in the martial arts.

We'll just have to rely on him.

Grandfather...

I have brought your patient back to you.

I've waited... I've waited so long...

for this moment.

Did you have a bad dream, Tsuzuki-san?

Don't worry.

You will soon never dream again.

Kid, what are you fighting for?!

Is it to bring back your friend?

Or is it simply out of hate for Muraki?

Is this the power of hate?!

You'll never beat him.

Kurosaki-kun!

That settles it.

Hold it...

- Kid! - Kurosaki-kun!

That guy's a pretty tough one to beat.

Tsuzuki has saved me many times before.

When I was so mistrustful of people...

and so closed in spirit after my death...

he gently and calmly gave me love and warmth.

He always protected me with his smile!

If Tsuzuki is in trouble, I want to save him!

This time I want to be his strength!

I see you like a good gamble, kid.

I like that. I'll accept your determination!

The place that I finally found...

Watari-san, Tatsumi-san and everyone at the Summons Bureau...

A warm place, like being a part of a family.

But that's because Tsuzuki led me there.

It was because he was there, that I was able to exist in that place.

I will fight in order to save Tsuzuki.

His doubts have ceased!

Come!

You win.

What're you talking about?!

Take your sword! I have to defeat you!

I have to get Tsuzuki back!

Kid...

Even a violent man has one reason or another.

Even he is fighting for the same reason as you.

A man like me, living in my ghostly world, has no right

to interfere with the two who are fighting for their lives.

Hurry up and go save your friend.

And go get back your place in the world.

Did I do the right thing?

Don't you die, Muraki.

I shall start the experiment.

I shall transplant Saki's body to you.

It should be possible given your immortal ability.

Yami no Matsuei

What are you doing?

Taking care of the flowers.

If you want to grow big, beautiful flowers

you have to trim the buds. That's basic for growing roses.

But there's something sad about that.

It's a life it worked so hard for.

Isn't it too late for such sentiments, Asato?

You are a murderer.

You killed people like I did to these roses.

You're wrong! I was...

Then, what's all that behind you?

No.

I didn't want to kill her!

T-Tsuzuki-san...

I wasn't supposed to exist.

I shouldn't have been.

Muraki, let's go together.

You actually want to die with me?

The flames of dark anger...

take the form of a heavenly serpent and descend upon me.

Tsuzuki-san, even if you were to kill me

that sorrow of yours will never be lifted.

Come to me, Touda.

Dark chaos, bring darkness to the one who had been granted life.

You cannot escape it.

Both you and I are the Descendants of Darkness!

This is...

Touda's flames?

It's cold.

My consciousness is slipping away. Is this death?

What an overdone ending to one's life.

I can't just let it end like this.

I cannot die yet.

Saki!

I will not die until I kill you with my own two hands!

Well, there's not much we can do with this.

Don't be so negative! Let's just go and get Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki...

- Tsuzuki! - Hold it, kid!

The flames of Touda ain't no joke.

It can overwhelm a Shinigami's ability to recover.

Even our lives are in danger!

- Then, what about Tsuzuki?! - He's used...

He summoned Touda knowing full well what he was doing.

To make sure that he would die.

- That's his wish. - I don't believe that!

I don't want to let Tsuzuki die.

Kurosaki-kun...

Even if that's what he really wants...

I'll never accept that!

Look.

It's not a bad thing to respect people's wishes.

Then again...

it's not a bad thing to overrule those wishes as well, Tatsumi.

I suppose you're right.

How many people have meaninglessly died because they knew me?

I'm probably one who ought not to exist in this world.

Burn more furiously, Touda.

Burn everything away.

And my immortal life.

Tsuzuki!

What are you doing?! Come over here!

Hisoka?

Can't you move? I'll go over there now!

Tsuzuki, let's go!

Tsuzuki?

It's all right now, Hisoka.

I've lived plenty long enough.

I'm tired.

I'm not supposed to exist.

That's why I'm going to...

Hisoka...?

I want you to exist even just for me!

I don't want to be left alone!

This is the only place for me.

Just here in your heart...!

Is it all right for me to be here?

Kokakurou

He's gone.

Konoe, how are Tsuzuki and Hisoka doing?

Yes. Just before they vanished

Tatsumi captured them in the Shadow Vacuum.

I see.

People change depending on who they meet, huh?

Yes...

Those two have quite clearly changed.

Although they still are a handful.

Tatsumi, I feel bad about you coming over all the time.

Not at all.

It's the least that I can do for you.

Can I ask you one question?

What?

Did it bother you that I rescued you?

Tatsumi...

I didn't want to interfere with your wishes.

That's why I hesitated.

I hesitated about saving you from that hell...

I'm envious of Kurosaki-kun.

Without hesitation, he was able to act on his own will.

That's not true.

I know how you feel, Tatsumi.

Thank you for saving me.

Thank you, Tatsumi.

Hey, how are things going?

- Hi! - Here's a little something!

Peach mille feuille in keeping with the season!

Thanks!

It seems like you'll be out soon, the way you look.

And he's been eating a lot as well.

Huh? Where's Hisoka-san?

You'll catch cold if you stay out there too much.

Tsuzuki...

How's your condition?

You should be more worried about yourself.

You sure had me worried.

As I was swallowed by the flames of Touda

you called me back.

Thank you, Hisoka.

It's so unlike you to say that.

Muraki... is still alive.

I suppose.

He's not one to die so easily.

But that's okay.

As long as he's alive...

I have something to aim for in my life.

One day, I'll exceed him.

Yeah.

I'm sure we can do it, together.

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
