1
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:05,506
Agh... I hate packing!

2
00:00:05,589 --> 00:00:07,508
This's good enough.

3
00:00:07,591 --> 00:00:10,469
Long as I got some underwear
and a change of clothes.

4
00:00:10,886 --> 00:00:12,263
You sure?

5
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:13,264
Huh?

6
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:17,017
Who knows what
they've got planned for us.

7
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:20,979
This could be the last time
you ever see this place.

8
00:00:22,606 --> 00:00:23,649
Oh...

9
00:00:23,732 --> 00:00:25,526
Is somebody worried about me?

10
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:28,737
Tha...
That's not what I meant!

11
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:31,114
Well...

12
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:33,823
Not like being
scared is gonna help any.

13
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:42,793
Great, it's you again.

14
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:44,276
I'm your guard and chaperon.

15
00:00:44,503 --> 00:00:47,631
Have to make sure a certain someone
doesn't escape again.

16
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,843
Our squad car's waiting over there.

17
00:00:50,926 --> 00:00:53,971
You ride in the back with me.

18
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,682
If you've got no questions,
let's get going.

19
00:00:56,765 --> 00:00:59,017
I prefer not to waste
any more time.

20
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:02,312
Yeah, yeah, bossy bi...

21
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:04,815
Well, I gotta get going.

22
00:01:06,024 --> 00:01:09,278
Better not go and die on me,
shitty little brat!

23
00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:10,905
Don't worry 'bout me.

24
00:01:10,988 --> 00:01:14,288
You just make sure you don't croak
while I'm gone, shitty old man.

25
00:01:16,702 --> 00:01:18,829
All right, later, Gramps.

26
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:24,210
One by one, around the bonfire

27
00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:26,879
Higher and higher, led by desire

28
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:29,632
One by one, around the bonfire

29
00:01:29,715 --> 00:01:32,009
More and more of these liars

30
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:45,356
The black Mononoke is breathing inside me

31
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,733
We ain't down with your noble conspiracy

32
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:50,444
Under the torch, feel the blood heat

33
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:53,447
Unheard, unseen, yet here we are in bloom

34
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:56,283
Reeling, reeling, turning upside down

35
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,994
Clap! Clap! Bow to the altar

36
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:01,413
I'm sick of this world
and their pure spite

37
00:02:01,496 --> 00:02:04,542
You're gonna die
from a thousand small bites

38
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:09,546
Need no reason to walk along

39
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:14,051
Or linger here to hear her song

40
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,345
Split the dream

41
00:02:16,428 --> 00:02:19,515
and paint the silence apart

42
00:02:19,598 --> 00:02:24,311
Just please tie me to your heart

43
00:02:24,394 --> 00:02:33,070
Now freeze me up, freeze me up...

44
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:37,866
Freeze me up deep inside of sleep

45
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,260
Hey...

46
00:02:57,803 --> 00:02:59,013
What with these things?

47
00:02:59,096 --> 00:03:00,097
Seriously...

48
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:02,850
How the hell did I end up
being this guy's escort?

49
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:03,975
Christ!

50
00:03:04,434 --> 00:03:05,769
This's ridiculous!

51
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:07,896
You've got me locked up
like a prisoner!

52
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:09,523
You need to shut up.

53
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:11,525
You basically are our prisoner.

54
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,485
And what's that supposed to mean?

55
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,904
You're no longer human.

56
00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:18,741
You're a half-human,
half-mononoke freak!

57
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:20,284
What?

58
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:25,039
Mononoke are the Bureau's
primary targets.

59
00:03:25,122 --> 00:03:28,875
And you are no exception.

60
00:03:29,501 --> 00:03:32,463
I seriously don't get what the Boss
and higher-ups are thinking,

61
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:33,797
but I'm a professional.

62
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,966
I take my job very seriously.

63
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:38,761
If I'm assigned
the duty of bodyguard,

64
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:40,763
then I will fulfill my obligations,

65
00:03:40,846 --> 00:03:42,431
no matter what
I'm asked to protect.

66
00:03:42,514 --> 00:03:47,144
Wow, so now you're
callin' me a freak.

67
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,896
You know, I was being nice
'cause you're a girl!

68
00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:53,901
Hey...

69
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:56,612
Did you hear that?

70
00:03:56,695 --> 00:03:58,405
You're imaginin' things.

71
00:03:59,698 --> 00:04:01,241
I've got two.

72
00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:04,203
Two pet peeves that irritate
the shit out of me.

73
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:08,207
There're mononoke, and then
there're sexist pricks like you!

74
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:10,167
Do I make myself clear?

75
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:11,585
That means...

76
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:15,172
To me you simply do not exist.

77
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:17,800
Now close your mouth and...

78
00:04:17,883 --> 00:04:20,552
Will you knock it off!

79
00:04:20,886 --> 00:04:24,556
A guy can't even catch
a few winks around here!

80
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:28,143
And ya wonder why I hate kids.

81
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:29,603
Rago...

82
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,939
I was wondering why
you were so quiet!

83
00:04:32,022 --> 00:04:34,024
Just had to get in
some more sleeping, huh?

84
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:37,319
I was, until you two
couldn't stop yapping.

85
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:39,196
But forget that...

86
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:43,325
I'm just surprised some little girl
is supposed to be guarding us...

87
00:04:43,408 --> 00:04:46,912
Man, the Bureau must
be really shorthanded.

88
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:48,163
Dirty mononoke...

89
00:04:48,246 --> 00:04:50,046
You shouldn't even be
talking to me!

90
00:04:50,916 --> 00:04:53,252
At least she's a feisty one.

91
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:57,172
Isn't there something else
you should be worrying about?

92
00:04:57,255 --> 00:04:58,965
What're you getting at?

93
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,928
It's... getting weirdly foggy.

94
00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:06,265
Well, we're heading
into the mountains.

95
00:05:06,348 --> 00:05:08,600
Guess I better turn on
the headlights.

96
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:11,102
What the hell?

97
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:14,773
Hey, whatever it is, it's huge!

98
00:05:14,856 --> 00:05:16,066
Yo!

99
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:23,532
Woo-hoo, this van's a rockin'!

100
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:27,035
Aw, shit!

101
00:05:27,702 --> 00:05:29,788
Now what's happening?

102
00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:31,457
I've got a bad feeling.

103
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:33,417
I'm going to investigate!

104
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:34,835
You stay there!

105
00:05:34,918 --> 00:05:36,795
Huh?! What...?

106
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:38,797
This fog...

107
00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:41,049
There's no question.

108
00:05:41,466 --> 00:05:43,343
We've entered a spectral zone.

109
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:45,971
Shit...
How did I miss this?!

110
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:50,684
Ooh, here she comes,
here she comes!

111
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:53,604
Hey, what the heck!

112
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:54,730
Mononoke.

113
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:57,816
I was hoping for some
succulent meat.

114
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:01,987
What an anticlimax!

115
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:06,825
I was so psyched to get
this kinda assignment again!

116
00:06:07,158 --> 00:06:08,952
Then I found out
the drivers aren't even

117
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,246
a decent amuse-bouche!

118
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:13,415
I would've thought the guard'd
be good eatin',

119
00:06:13,498 --> 00:06:15,209
but it's just some female runt!

120
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:18,962
This Bureau thing is lame!

121
00:06:19,629 --> 00:06:21,340
Bastards...

122
00:06:21,423 --> 00:06:22,257
Huh?

123
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:25,385
You're all the same,
misogynistic dirt bags...

124
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:27,095
Well, I'm done!

125
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:29,056
You'd push
an angel to their limits...

126
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:30,432
And I'm no angel!

127
00:06:35,437 --> 00:06:37,022
Woo-hoo!

128
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,107
Now that was cool!

129
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:40,692
Awesome!

130
00:06:40,775 --> 00:06:42,625
Looks like we're gonna
have some fun!

131
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,531
Hey! How long ya
gonna chew that hand, lard ass!

132
00:06:45,614 --> 00:06:48,116
Now to show ya battle mode.

133
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:58,627
Okay...

134
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:01,880
Time for dessert!

135
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,693
Shit, two bastards,
and each one's unique.

136
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:25,779
The big one's dense, moves slow,

137
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:28,406
but he's hard as a rock.

138
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:31,535
I'll start with the wiry one first...

139
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:33,411
Hey, you're makin' this easy!

140
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,250
Hey, hey!

141
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,043
What the hell's
going on out there?

142
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:41,295
It's mononoke.

143
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:42,296
You know?

144
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:43,547
Forget who you're talking to?

145
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:46,675
While you two love birds
were flirting away...

146
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:49,428
That wasn't flirting!
You wanna die?

147
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:52,973
My olfactory senses told me
we'd entered the zone.

148
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:54,683
The zone?

149
00:07:54,766 --> 00:07:56,476
A spectral zone.

150
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:59,938
The fogged in area becomes
a temporary amenti of sorts,

151
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:02,399
a world separated from
this physical realm.

152
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,775
Amenti?

153
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:07,404
It's a separate dimension from
the mortal coil of you humans...

154
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,073
It's the realm of mononoke.

155
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:12,951
You've lost me,

156
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:14,703
but I'm guessing it's not good!

157
00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:16,955
So hurry and
help me get these things off!

158
00:08:17,038 --> 00:08:17,831
Can't.

159
00:08:17,914 --> 00:08:18,665
Why not?!

160
00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:21,209
They're not ordinary handcuffs.

161
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:24,046
They're designed to block
spectral energy.

162
00:08:24,129 --> 00:08:27,174
I don't have the power
right now to get 'em off.

163
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:30,385
Aaaargh!
I don't believe this!

164
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:33,638
Fine! I'm going out there
to make her take these off!

165
00:08:33,972 --> 00:08:35,182
I'd leave 'em be.

166
00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:36,183
Huh?

167
00:08:36,266 --> 00:08:39,644
Weren't those handcuffs
obvious enough?

168
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:43,649
The Bureau and mononoke
might as well be the same.

169
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:47,569
They just wanna use us.

170
00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:51,573
To them, we're just property.

171
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:55,994
We've got no reason to get involved
with the likes of them.

172
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,288
Let them fight it out...

173
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:01,249
Let 'em kill each other,
and we'll scram.

174
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:03,335
Hey, Rago.

175
00:09:03,418 --> 00:09:04,419
Eh?

176
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:06,672
That supposed to mean
somethin' to me?

177
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:08,006
You lost me again.

178
00:09:08,089 --> 00:09:10,467
Huh? Were you even listening?!

179
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:14,262
This isn't about the Bureau
or the mononoke.

180
00:09:14,345 --> 00:09:16,306
Only one
thing matters right now...

181
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:18,725
There's someone out there,

182
00:09:18,808 --> 00:09:20,810
and they're fighting for us!

183
00:09:21,352 --> 00:09:23,230
I don't know 'bout you...

184
00:09:23,313 --> 00:09:24,814
But as a man,

185
00:09:25,356 --> 00:09:27,656
I can't just sit here
with my thumb up my ass!

186
00:09:37,952 --> 00:09:41,623
All that talk 'bout being a man,
and you're shaking like a leaf.

187
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,083
Just shut up!

188
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:46,878
Look who we have here!

189
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:49,756
It's you,
the punk possessed by Rago.

190
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:53,093
We were told to take you alive.

191
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:56,263
But honestly, I couldn't be arsed.
You get to choose!

192
00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:58,265
You've got ten seconds!

193
00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:01,351
Surrender or become
my final course.

194
00:10:01,851 --> 00:10:03,103
And one...

195
00:10:03,186 --> 00:10:05,522
So they are after Rago...

196
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:08,400
But how'd they find out
about the transport?

197
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:09,901
Hey, you!

198
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:11,028
What?

199
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:12,779
What do you mean, what?

200
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:15,657
Take these off so we can help!

201
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:18,702
Now you're putting words
in my mouth.

202
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:19,703
Rago!

203
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:20,954
No way.

204
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:21,705
Huh?!

205
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,540
With those disgusting
mononoke mits?

206
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,208
You've gotta be joking!

207
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,418
You insane?
This isn't the time for...

208
00:10:28,044 --> 00:10:30,172
Time's up!

209
00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:32,924
You get to be eaten!

210
00:10:34,092 --> 00:10:35,719
Overgrown bastard!

211
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:37,763
All right, cut the crap!

212
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:39,139
Get over your pet peeve,

213
00:10:39,222 --> 00:10:40,724
or we'll both end up
in this slob's gut!

214
00:10:40,807 --> 00:10:42,809
Hey, are you listening?!

215
00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:45,270
Crap.

216
00:10:55,572 --> 00:10:57,991
I heard it happened in
the line of duty.

217
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:01,703
To think her life was
cut short by mononoke!

218
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:05,791
And Lady Ichika just turned five.

219
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,000
Such a pity.

220
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:10,587
What I wonder will the master do
with the familial line?

221
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:14,841
A girl could never
become successor.

222
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:18,178
Father...

223
00:11:18,261 --> 00:11:21,514
I will be the one to succeed
the Kishimojin clan.

224
00:11:22,432 --> 00:11:26,686
I will study, and I will train.

225
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:31,691
I, Ichika, promise,

226
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:32,526
(Kishimojin Clan)

227
00:11:32,609 --> 00:11:35,259
(Kishimojin Clan)
one day I'll make you both proud...

228
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:37,572
I'll become a detective of
honor and skill!

229
00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:38,698
Hey!

230
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:40,408
Hey!

231
00:11:41,492 --> 00:11:42,785
You said it before.

232
00:11:43,203 --> 00:11:45,539
That you take your job seriously.

233
00:11:45,622 --> 00:11:47,958
You fulfill your obligations,
no matter what.

234
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:50,919
So do what it takes to
complete this mission!

235
00:11:53,296 --> 00:11:54,547
You're a professional...

236
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:56,299
Aren't you?

237
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:01,971
All right, Rago!

238
00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:05,475
Let's get this thing over with!

239
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:08,436
All right!

240
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:16,027
W-What?!
N-No way...!!

241
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:18,280
Hey, you're makin' this easy...

242
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:19,489
Crap!

243
00:12:34,963 --> 00:12:37,090
You really don't know how
to finish things.

244
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:41,970
Shut up. I didn't have time
to finesse the landing.

245
00:12:42,553 --> 00:12:47,809
Oww... Damn, how many times
does that make it today?

246
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:49,060
Just so you know...

247
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:50,228
Huh?

248
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:53,070
You're not getting
a "thank you" from me.

249
00:12:53,731 --> 00:12:56,860
Ungrateful little prima donna!

250
00:12:56,943 --> 00:12:58,278
Get your ass off my head!

251
00:12:58,361 --> 00:13:00,989
Told you, shoulda let 'er die.

252
00:13:02,031 --> 00:13:04,242
Like I expected it.

253
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:05,911
You're not getting one
from me either.

254
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:08,663
Look, you fought to protect us,

255
00:13:08,746 --> 00:13:11,332
and we fought to help you.

256
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,877
That means we're even Stephen.

257
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:16,713
So, you cool?

258
00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:20,592
You can use my name!

259
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:21,509
Wha?

260
00:13:22,343 --> 00:13:23,720
It's Ichika.

261
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,889
Ichika Kishimojin.

262
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:27,933
Try'n remember it, okay?

263
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:31,186
You can stop it with
all the "hey's" and "you's."

264
00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:32,520
Okay, okay.

265
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:35,523
So, can I ask you somethin', Ichika?

266
00:13:35,606 --> 00:13:36,649
What?

267
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,445
What the hell do we do now?

268
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:43,573
We walk.

269
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:45,116
Seriously?

270
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:51,372
That's all we have on
Rago and Jiro Azuma.

271
00:13:51,789 --> 00:13:56,044
That said, I have a proposition.

272
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,046
Very well.

273
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:00,256
You may proceed.

274
00:14:01,549 --> 00:14:03,134
I'll keep this brief.

275
00:14:03,217 --> 00:14:07,347
I, Ryosuke Shiba, as Chief of
Special Operations Division 2,

276
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:10,141
request permission to
establish a new squad,

277
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:13,603
and I'd like Jiro Azuma as
one of my detectives.

278
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:15,230
Are you deranged?

279
00:14:15,313 --> 00:14:16,982
You desire to make a
half-mononoke boy

280
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:18,775
a secret agent?

281
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:22,362
Rago has yet to demonstrate
any direct hostility toward us.

282
00:14:22,445 --> 00:14:26,616
He seems to be cooperating
with Jiro Azuma as well.

283
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:30,036
At any rate,
the enemy is clearly after Rago.

284
00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:32,122
Rather than condemning him
to rot in captivity,

285
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:35,166
he, dare I say,
could be the consummate bait.

286
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:39,337
But bait precedes the catch only
in the presence of a hook.

287
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:44,259
So, you guys transform
when you fight?

288
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:46,511
We don't "transform."

289
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:49,389
We change our appearance
by illusion.

290
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:52,976
We can't walk around town
looking like this, can we?

291
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:55,895
Yeah, guess you're right.

292
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:59,524
So our young mononoke conduit
is of ninja stock, yes?

293
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:00,983
Will he be useful?

294
00:15:01,401 --> 00:15:04,696
Well, all our agents've trained against
recently are cushy humans,

295
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:06,656
so I say he's got the advantage.

296
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:08,325
I have complete confidence

297
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:11,161
that battle will only
further sharpen his skills.

298
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:15,790
And I'll take full responsibility
for our newly forged weapon.

299
00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:19,169
My plan is a small,
experimental unit.

300
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:23,173
Made up of five operatives,
including myself.

301
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:25,175
It will include Usami
as my assistant,

302
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,510
and one more rookie.

303
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:31,056
It'll be a secret anti-mononoke
mobile strike force,

304
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:33,891
codenamed "Black Torch."

305
00:15:34,892 --> 00:15:36,353
So?

306
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:39,021
Do I pique your interest?

307
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:50,700
In just one week...

308
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:53,036
I've met the weirdest black cat,

309
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:54,996
who happens to be a mononoke.

310
00:15:55,079 --> 00:15:56,915
Then some giant
ogre mononoke leaves me

311
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,000
within an inch of my life,

312
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:01,283
and the cat saves me by fusing
with my body.

313
00:16:01,586 --> 00:16:05,006
Then these secret government agents
appear out of nowhere...

314
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:06,716
Gramps and I have
our worst argument,

315
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:09,219
oh, and then
I'm attacked by more mononoke.

316
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:10,720
And here I am.

317
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:14,307
If some rando ever asked me,
so how was your week,

318
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:16,640
I seriously don't know
what the hell I'd say.

319
00:16:17,435 --> 00:16:19,437
Used to your new life yet?

320
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,563
Huh?

321
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:22,732
You don't hafta watch me
from the crack of dawn.

322
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,150
I'm not going anywhere.

323
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:27,069
Says the guy who broke out
of our hospital.

324
00:16:27,445 --> 00:16:29,322
New life, my ass...

325
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:32,951
I think I've had close to
every medical test under the sun.

326
00:16:33,034 --> 00:16:35,453
I haven't had
one minute to myself!

327
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,039
All right, I get the idea.

328
00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:39,249
My number one priority...

329
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:43,503
was to confirm
there were no threats.

330
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:47,215
To the Bureau... and to you.

331
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:52,011
Anyway, I still can't wrap
my head around it.

332
00:16:52,595 --> 00:16:54,013
Around what?

333
00:16:54,096 --> 00:16:56,474
This is seriously
your headquarters?

334
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:58,143
What, this place?

335
00:16:58,226 --> 00:17:02,438
Unfortunately, this is homebase
for Special Operations Division 2.

336
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:07,068
Each division has its own base
of operations.

337
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:08,319
By all appearances,

338
00:17:08,402 --> 00:17:11,030
they function like any
other business or organization.

339
00:17:11,113 --> 00:17:13,741
There're office buildings,
factories, hospitals.

340
00:17:13,824 --> 00:17:16,661
Even libraries and shrines.

341
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:20,623
They're all a helluva lot
prettier than what we've got.

342
00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:23,584
It's not easy being at the bottom.

343
00:17:25,086 --> 00:17:27,213
So you guys've seen better days.

344
00:17:27,296 --> 00:17:28,715
Not "you guys."

345
00:17:28,798 --> 00:17:29,757
Huh?

346
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,094
At this point,
shouldn't it be "us"?

347
00:17:33,636 --> 00:17:37,598
You're one of us now, Jiro Azuma.

348
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,268
One of you?

349
00:17:40,351 --> 00:17:41,603
That, right?

350
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:44,522
The squad called
Whack something or other.

351
00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:46,357
It's Black Torch.

352
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,567
Cool, right?

353
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:50,027
Torch, storch, whatever.

354
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:53,072
I'm here to protect my own ass.

355
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:57,035
I don't remember agreeing to
be one of your underlings.

356
00:17:57,118 --> 00:18:01,122
Our goal is for each of us
to live free.

357
00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:04,209
We'll fight whoever we have to,
even mononoke.

358
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:05,543
Simple as that.

359
00:18:06,127 --> 00:18:08,087
"We", huh?

360
00:18:08,170 --> 00:18:12,133
I guess it's going to take him
some time to take it all in.

361
00:18:12,466 --> 00:18:16,387
Ordinary logic won't work with him.

362
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:18,222
Little by little, I guess.

363
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:23,019
Phew! The old warehouse
hasn't changed one bit!

364
00:18:23,394 --> 00:18:25,855
Oh, top of the mornin', Chief!

365
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:27,565
Good morning to you.

366
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:32,028
Hm? Is that the Jiro Azuma
I've heard so much about?

367
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:33,363
Who?

368
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,657
She's one of my few subordinates.

369
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:38,940
Meet Special Operations Division 2,
Assistant Chief, Hana Usami.

370
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:42,246
She's had her hands full
with another mission.

371
00:18:42,913 --> 00:18:43,915
Another mission?

372
00:18:43,998 --> 00:18:46,626
Oh, we've arrived already?

373
00:18:46,709 --> 00:18:48,002
What a shame.

374
00:18:48,419 --> 00:18:52,423
I was hoping to spend a little more
quality time with you, Ms. Usami.

375
00:18:52,506 --> 00:18:55,385
Ah, allow me to assist
with your luggage.

376
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:58,262
You were kind enough to
drive me all this way.

377
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:01,266
Besides, I couldn't bear seeing
a young lady such as yourself

378
00:19:01,349 --> 00:19:03,977
burdened by brutish chores.

379
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:05,311
Oh, please stop!

380
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:06,896
You flatter me.
Stop teasing!

381
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:10,108
Well, that makes all of us.

382
00:19:10,191 --> 00:19:12,610
So who's Mr. Desperate?

383
00:19:12,693 --> 00:19:14,571
Your new friend.

384
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:15,946
What?!

385
00:19:16,614 --> 00:19:17,699
So...

386
00:19:17,782 --> 00:19:20,868
We've got another rookie joining
Division 2, effective immediately.

387
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:22,704
This's Reiji Kirihara.

388
00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:25,164
He's seventeen like all of you...

389
00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:26,499
And like Ichika,

390
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:29,460
he hails from a notable spy family,
the Kirihara clan.

391
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:31,993
I'm sure you'll enjoy getting
to know each other.

392
00:19:32,755 --> 00:19:33,965
Entitled brat.

393
00:19:34,048 --> 00:19:36,509
I'll follow orders,

394
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:39,846
but I'm telling you I can't handle
any more troublemakers.

395
00:19:39,929 --> 00:19:42,556
Hey, what do you mean by
"any more"?

396
00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:45,351
And you must be Ichika Kishimojin,
I presume?

397
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:47,019
Well, yes, I am.

398
00:19:47,395 --> 00:19:50,732
Your reputation precedes you.

399
00:19:50,815 --> 00:19:53,401
I'd heard about a young and
ambitious woman brave enough to

400
00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:56,154
break with tradition and strive to
become the new head of her family.

401
00:19:56,237 --> 00:19:59,198
It had me very curious indeed.

402
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:03,328
I never imagined
she'd be so stunning!

403
00:20:03,411 --> 00:20:04,704
W-Wha...?

404
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:08,416
Well, we've just met and...

405
00:20:08,499 --> 00:20:10,449
Wake up,
he's trying to sweet-talk you.

406
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:13,504
And that over there must be...

407
00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:15,131
Huh?

408
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:18,300
I've read up on you...

409
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:20,094
I see now.

410
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:22,471
You're even worse in person.

411
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:26,350
To be honest,
I'm still in a bit of disbelief.

412
00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:30,229
That a numbskull like yourself
weaseled his way into my unit.

413
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,315
How 'bout you just leave?

414
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:34,859
Return to your hospital cell
where you can be safe?

415
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:37,611
Ohh ohh.
I see how it is.

416
00:20:38,362 --> 00:20:41,699
Why don't you really say
what's on your mind...

417
00:20:41,782 --> 00:20:43,242
Playboy.

418
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:44,661
Apologies.

419
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:47,789
Honesty is always the best
medicine, don't you think?

420
00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:50,917
You saying you wanna fight,
four-eyes ass?

421
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,086
And what if I was?

422
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:54,379
Half-monster chump?

423
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:55,046
Half...

424
00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:59,300
Hey, hey!
You guys've gone too far!

425
00:20:59,383 --> 00:21:01,344
This's bad, Boss!

426
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:02,637
We gotta stop them!

427
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,305
Oh, talk about timing.

428
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,390
What?!

429
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:07,684
Hey, four-eyes ass,
half-monster chump...

430
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:08,685
Huh?!

431
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:12,188
Go ahead and fight it out. Now.

432
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,774
And don't pull any punches.

433
00:21:16,025 --> 00:21:19,529
Umm... Record... in high-res...

434
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:21,364
What is this, a duel?

435
00:21:21,447 --> 00:21:23,366
Kind of...

436
00:21:23,449 --> 00:21:26,202
It's also to successfully
establish the squad.

437
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:27,870
What do you mean?

438
00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:29,789
When I proposed my idea
for the new squad,

439
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:33,042
the higher-ups
had some requirements.

440
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:35,461
One was to prove whether
Jiro Azuma

441
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:37,714
is an asset to the Bureau.

442
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:40,883
The Bureau knows
the kind of possibilities

443
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:43,594
Rago's previously
latent power holds.

444
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:45,012
But it's all meaningless

445
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:47,473
if Jiro and Rago
can't cooperate with us.

446
00:21:47,556 --> 00:21:50,976
So you're testing
their agent abilities?

447
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:54,355
I had to go through
a month of tests!

448
00:21:54,688 --> 00:21:56,941
Hey, every situation's different.

449
00:21:57,024 --> 00:21:59,944
Figuring out how strong
the kid is a good start.

450
00:22:00,027 --> 00:22:01,487
This doesn't seem very...

451
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:05,199
Okay, smile for the camera, guys!

452
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:23,885
Even a single word isn't coming from her

453
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:29,640
A sudden downpour soaked up the weekend

454
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:36,647
Life is crazy for living peace

455
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:39,442
It makes us dizzy, you know?

456
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:48,534
Kicking away these
negative vibes into a plus

457
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:51,120
City boy, get loud and let it all out

458
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,247
Living young and wild and free

459
00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:58,252
We're beautiful because we're not perfect

460
00:22:58,335 --> 00:23:00,755
City girl, just dance, super fresh

461
00:23:00,838 --> 00:23:02,840
That is how it's supposed to be

462
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:08,762
The future we imagined is gonna be
groooovy, groooovy

463
00:23:09,471 --> 00:23:11,724
Us human beings

464
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,644
And this world that we live in

465
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:19,106
It's not too bad afterall

466
00:23:19,189 --> 00:23:21,359
City boy, get loud and let it all out

467
00:23:21,442 --> 00:23:23,569
Living young and wild and free

468
00:23:23,652 --> 00:23:28,574
We're beautiful because we're not perfect

469
00:23:28,657 --> 00:23:31,077
City girl, just dance, super fresh

470
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,120
That is how it's supposed to be

471
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:39,168
The future we imagined is gonna be
groooovy, groooovy
