Original subtitles

[HINAMI] The CCG's white reaper, Kisho Arima.

I'm going to die here.

Hold on, Arima.

She's not fighting.

So, if it's okay,

would you allow me to take her into custody?

[AKIRA] November 11th.

On this day,

the CCG planned and successfully carried out two missions.

The auction raid,

and the quinque steel transport escort mission.

[AKIRA] We received a tip that Aogiri Tree

was plotting to hijack a shipment of quinque steel.

So we used it as bait and ambushed them.

The mission was carried out by the S3 Squad,

with Special Investigator Marude presiding.

After the auction raid mission commenced,

Aogiri Tree ghouls attacked our transports, as we expected.

The S3 Squad dispatched them with relative ease.

Their initial mission completed,

the S3 Squad rushed to the auction house.

[UTA] It's time we left.

Fine.

[MIZA] Scatter and retreat! Now!

[AYATO] No! Hinami's still in there!

We're outnumbered. There's nothing we can do!

[NAKI] We have to run!

[TORSO] Toru...

Matsumae.

We'll have to seek out a proper meal through other means.

Right, Master Mirumo.

[SEIDO panting]

[gasps]

[AKIRA] Takizawa?

[SEIDO laughs]

Mado.

[AKIRA] The Quinx Squad determined the time and location

of the auction, then infiltrated it,

slew the S-rated ghoul, Nutcracker,

and supported Suzuya Squad in eliminating Big Madam.

Quinx Squad played a key role in this mission.

And their reputation has greatly improved, as a result.

A number of Aogiri Tree members were killed

by an unknown party as they fled the scene.

Many of the bodies found were partially consumed.

[AKIRA] If Takizawa really is alive, then perhaps...

No. That's expecting too much.

[AKIRA gasps]

[AKIRA] Expecting. Could they have--?

Ginshi Shirazu. Saiko Yonebayashi.

I appoint you second class investigators.

Miyuki Mikage. Mizuro Tamaki.

Hanbei Abara. Kuki Urie. Takeomi Kuroiwa.

And Toru Mutsuki.

I appoint you first class investigators.

[INVESTIGATOR A] That guy got promoted two whole ranks.

[YOSHITOKI] Kuramoto Ito. Keiji Nakarai.

Naoto Hayashimura.

And Haise Sasaki.

I appoint you senior investigators.

Senior Investigator Akira Mado.

I appoint you associate special investigator.

Juzo Suzuya. Matsuri Washu.

I appoint you special investigators.

[SHIRAZU] So you and Urie are first class now.

That's the same rank Mr. Sass was not too long ago.

To be honest, it hasn't quite sunk in for me yet.

[TAKEOMI] Urie, congratulations.

Yeah.

[URIE] So you killed a ghoul with your bare hands.

Think I'm impressed? Just stay out of my sight.

[KUROIWA] Takeomi.

[TAKEOMI] Special Investigator Kuroiwa.

Good work. You, too, Urie.

[AKIRA] Outstanding work.

You've already made senior investigator.

[HAISE] Thank you very much,

Associate Special Investigator.

Stop that. You'll make me blush.

By the way, any word on Fueguchi?

She's still undergoing questioning for the time being.

She'll certainly prove to be

a valuable source of information.

But do mind the appropriate custody period.

[HAISE] I heard that Fueguchi was involved

in the death of Akira's father.

And I effectively saved her life.

Could Akira be okay with that?

Or is it like I've poured fuel onto a smoldering fire?

[KANEKI] I am me. And you are you.

We're just living inside the same body.

Please, Haise. Make sure this time.

--[KANEKI] I don't disappear. --[KANEKI] That you disappear.

[SATOMI] Senior Investigator.

As of today, I've been assigned to the Shimoguchi Squad.

I'm First Class Investigator Shiori Satomi.

As have I. First Class, Miho Toga.

It's an honor to be--

Save it for the brass.

Nothing good is gonna come to you

from becoming part of my squad.

[SATOMI] We know, sir.

Suit yourselves, then.

Your "Nutcracker." will be completed

in just a moment.

You should be looking forward to it.

She's going to make you an excellent quinque.

[URIE grunting]

[URIE] More... More!

I can't let Kuroiwa beat me!

[JUZO] You want two going up while the third one falls.

Catch it and cut.

And if you throw 'em all up at once,

you'll have time to grab more!

[MUTSUKI] Not sure I can do all that.

Honestly, I think two might be my limit.

[JUZO] Aw, are you sure? From everything I've seen,

you're really good at fighting with knives.

Hey, Suzuya.

Do you ever get worried

that you'll hurt yourself with your own knife?

That's never crossed my mind.

Me and pain don't really talk.

Is that what you're scared of, Toru?

[JUZO] In battle,

it's those who have tamed their weaknesses that win.

[MUTSUKI] "Tamed their weaknesses."

I like that expression.

I didn't come up with it.

I stole it from my teacher.

[STUDENTS] Thank you, sir!

[HAISE] Sure. Thank you!

[TOKAGE] Investigator Sasaki.

[HAISE] Instructor Tokage?

Thanks for coming by.

Having an active-duty investigator come and lecture

always goes a long way to motivate the students.

Well, feel free to call on me anytime.

[TOKAGE] So their stupidity hasn't worn you down yet?

Not at all.

I thought they were pleasant and cheerful.

[TOKAGE] A few of them already have criminal records.

Which reminds me,

how has young Mutsuki been doing?

He was always a problem student.

Was he really?

Well, he's earnest and hardworking now.

Special investigator Suzuya's been coaching him lately.

Ah, Suzuya.

Well, I'll see you around.

[MUTSUKI] Shirazu!

[SHIRAZU] Huh?

I get that, but custody of a ghoul always

goes to the investigator who defeated it, and that's you.

And I bet that Nutcracker will make a strong quinque.

[MUTSUKI] With a more powerful weapon,

you'll be able to stand up against more powerful ghouls.

[SHIRAZU] Yeah. Guess you're right.

[HAISE] Welcome home, you two!

Did you have a good day? Was it fun?

You're not hurt, are you?

[SHIRAZU] No, we're fine.

Good.

Then come along, hurry up, wash your hands and change!

I've invited some very special guests to come over tonight.

So let's try to impress 'em!

You sure are enjoying yourself, Teach.

[HAISE] Of course I am, it's a celebratory dinner party!

Come back and help me when you're done, okay?

Sure thing!

Ugh. All right, I'll do it.

[SHIRAZU, MUTSUKI, SAIKO] Ooh...

[SHIRAZU yelping]

[HAISE] Shirazu, be careful!

Saiko, it's burning!

[SAIKO] That's why they call it flambé!

[MUTSUKI] Urie. What'cha doin'?

Gonna go work out.

[URIE] I won't let Kuroiwa beat me.

[MUTSUKI] You can't! We've got guests coming.

You can count me out.

[MUTSUKI firmly] Urie.

You're helping us. Get this stuff.

[thud]

[URIE panting]

[HAISE] Urie, I'm so sorry. That must've been heavy.

[URIE] No.

By the way, someone sent you a package.

Wonder who?

[SHIRAZU] I told you to cut it out with the flambé, Saiko!

[SAIKO] I've got it this time!

[SHIRAZU] No. No! Gimme that bottle!

[MUTSUKI] Hey, Teach?

Coming!

[SHIRAZU, MUTSUKI, URIE] Ooh!

Thanks, guys.

You were all a huge help with this.

[doorbell rings]

Whatever you've made, it smells delicious.

Hope we're not too early.

Hello, welcome home!

Or, I should say, welcome to our home.

I'm glad you two could make it tonight.

--[SHIRAZU] Oh! Yum! --[MUTSUKI] This is delicious!

[SAIKO] Amazing.

The food is even better than usual tonight.

[HAISE] Akira, we made spicy curry, too.

[AKIRA] Oh, thank you.

I've never made it quite like this,

so let me know what you think.

It's an exact reproduction of the Mado family recipe!

Ah. Delicious. It reminds me of home.

You don't mind if I sneak a bite--

[ARIMA] Wait.

I suggest that you refrain.

The Mado family spicy curry is SS-rated.

Are you okay?

He doesn't look it. Hang in there, man!

--[AKIRA] He can take it. --[MUTSUKI] Give him some water!

--Or do we have any milk? --[SAIKO] I think he's dead.

[SHIRAZU] Did you really beat a ghoul

with an umbrella once?

[ARIMA] Well, I didn't have my quinque close at hand.

And this umbrella was quite durable.

[AKIRA] Yeah, I've heard more stories like that

about Arima than I can count.

[HAISE] Juzo told me one that I always

wanted to ask you about.

Didn't you fight in your sleep once?

[SHIRAZU] Uh! You're kidding me!

[MUTSUKI] No way is that one true.

[ARIMA] I was sleepy...

[SHIRAZU] Like how sleepy?

[MUTSUKI] Were your eyes closed?

[SHIRAZU] Whew. Man, that was good.

[MUTSUKI] I'm completely stuffed.

[SAIKO] There's always room for dessert.

[URIE] How do you do it?

I brought coffee,

and I also got some presents for all of you.

[SHIRAZU, MUTSUKI] Huh?

[SAIKO] Uh...

[SHIRAZU] Really?

Yeah. To celebrate your promotion.

Whoa. Thank you, I love it!

[gasps]

Nice. Thanks.

[HAISE] This one's for you, Akira. You got promoted, too.

Thanks, I appreciate it, Haise.

[QUINX SQUAD chattering]

You are truly like a father to them.

You really think so?

This isn't much, but here.

But I wasn't promoted.

It's to thank you for helping me out.

From my name. Thank you.

[HAISE] That takes care of that.

Hey, Urie. What's up?

Got training to do.

Seems kinda late for that.

Well, don't overdo it, okay?

[URIE] Who are you, my mom?

Now that I've been promoted and all,

I expect the ghouls I get pitted against

will be a lot more powerful.

I need to be prepared for that.

Well, I can't argue with you on that point.

But try to remember that you aren't alone in this, okay?

There's a reason why we're a team.

It's so that we can cover each other's weak points.

[URIE] Right.

[URIE] How pretentious.

[URIE] Although... He has a point.

[HAISE] A mask.

Was this the eyepatch ghoul's?

Ken Kaneki. I wonder how that's written.

If I knew the characters, I could--

[HAISE] Sen Takatsuki.

"To Ken Kaneki."

[HAISE] A novel by Sen Takatsuki, and a mask.

Who could've sent them?

There's no way that they were sent to me by accident.

The package had a return address.

It must've come from someone who knew Kaneki.

Maybe I should try to find them.

Oh. Thanks a lot.

[HAISE] This aroma. Why's it so familiar?

[sighs]

[OROCHI] Hey, gimme a refill.

[TOUKA] Brew it yourself, ya bum.

Uta.

Tell me, do the clowns see him as a problem or what?

Do you have any idea what they plan to do?

No. The boss has yet to let me in on her thinking.

[YOMO] Hm.

[UTA] What about all of you?

Still waiting for Kaneki?

--Or perhaps you-- --[TOUKA] Uta.

Huh?

For my part,

I'll just keep doing what I made up my mind to.

[OROCHI] Hm.

Right. Thank you for the coffee.

Yours really is the best to be had.

[UTA] And Touka. Even after all that's happened,

Ken is still a special customer to me.

[door bell chimes]

[SHIBA] Hm. Well, your levels seem to be stable.

[URIE] Is that right?

I was told you lost control on a mission.

[URIE] Who the hell ratted me out?

[SHIBA] How'd you manage to recover?

I focused my attention, just like I was trained to.

So that was enough.

Hey, Doctor? About Mutsuki.

What is it?

I can't discuss any personal information.

It's fine. Forget about it.

[URIE] There's no way he doesn't know.

Please excuse me.

[URIE] Shirazu?

[SHIRAZU] Guess what, Haru?

Your big bro's been promoted.

I'm a second class investigator now.

They even raised my pay a bit.

So hang tight.

I'm gonna be rakin' it in before long,

then we'll get ya fixed up.

And don't worry.

I'm not in over my head or anything.

If I do run into trouble, I've got my friends.

They're all super awesome.

Urie and Toru just became first class investigators.

Yeah. They're all great people.

I'll introduce ya to them someday.

Everything's goin' good.

You look pretty, you know that, Haru?

[HAISE] The CCG didn't have much material

on Ken Kaneki, which strikes me as odd.

There was an article saying he got hit by a steel beam

at a construction site.

And then there was his missing person's report.

He went to Kamii University and he had no family.

I wonder if he had any friends.

This place...

[MEN panting]

[BOTH yelp]

[MEN scream]

[KANAE] Master Shu.

[TSUKIYAMA] It hurts. I'm so very hungry.

Isn't there something? Anything I can eat?

[KANAE] Master Shu. This is heartbreaking.

So heartbreaking.

[clock ticking]

[TATARA] Impossible.

[UI] I'm Kori Ui, captain of the S1. Greetings.

[CHIE] Not at all.

[YORIKO] Always wanted to work at a coffee shop...

[MATSURI] I'd like to use everything I learned in Germany

to take down..

[CHIE] That's most of it.

[MATSUMAE] A trap?

[TSUKIYAMA] I am a gourmet.
