Kabaneri?

Yes, something between a Kabane and a human.

You're the same as me, then?

Either way, it means you're not human!

If you're saying you're my enemy...

...I'll kill you.

Kabanes are the enemy of humanity.

Stop, Kurusu!

If not for these two...

...we would all be dead.

That does not mean we can have the Kabane accompany us!

I feel the same way.

I'm a Kabane.

I will turn everyone here into Kabanes.

-What are...? -You're a Kabaneri, not a Kabane.

Your body may be a Kabane, but your mind's still human.

-How can I...? -Ayame-san.

This Kotetsujo goes to Kongokaku, doesn't it?

It does according to its schedule.

What's Kongokaku?

You don't know? It's the shogun's greatest stronghold.

Ayame-sama, if we are heading to Kongokaku...

Can you take me there?

If you do, we promise we'll stay in this car.

Hey, I'm trying to talk...

Although I'm not leaving this train whether you agree to it or not.

I will remember that day

Losing myself

In steam

Countless mistakes are made

When I can't see anything ahead

You said

"Ask your own burning blood"

Answer my beat

KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS

Stand up

And slam everything onto the ground

My soul is devoted to my friend

Burn your life

Change the world

Prayer Offer

Suzuki-san, that's too dangerous!

I have to look at it from the side.

I can't believe this.

Don't just open the window!

It's one per person.

We'll be back this evening with more food.

Like this is going to be enough.

Here you go.

Thank you.

And this is for your unborn baby.

There isn't enough food and water for the number of people that are onboard.

Are we going to make it?

We still have to try.

It's the last safe place we can go to.

But what if Kongokaku doesn't take us in?

I have food rations.

The current elder is Ayame-sama's uncle.

We will not be turned away.

Stop! You have oil all over your hands!

It's my body!

A body mother gave you!

Your body's healed, hasn't it?

It's because your body is a Kabane's.

You should be able to move around fine now.

You said you were going to Kongokaku.

I promised my brother.

I can't tell you what, but I'm on an important mission.

Are you interested in Kongokaku too?

They're at the forefront of Kabane research.

They might be able to do something about this Kabaneri condition.

I thought you wanted to get off.

It's not that I fully believe your Kabaneri story.

But if I'm trapped inside this boiler car for three days...

...it will show that my mind will remain human.

Then it's decided.

Decided?

You'll ride the Kotetsujo with me.

And you will be my shield.

Shield?

When I fight for too long, I fall asleep.

That's why I need a living shield.

It's not like you have to worry about getting bit by a Kabane.

Don't be ridi...

You're going to Kongokaku, right?

Then stand up. We're going to start.

Start what?

Training, obviously.

You're not much of a shield right now.

-Hold on! -Your motions are too big.

-Your feet are dragging. -Wait!

How could you let the Kabane onto the train?

It's still not too late.

We should throw the Kabane off!

They promised they would remain in the rear car.

Like a Kabane knows how to keep a promise?

Do the Six Chiefs not have any sense of gratitude?

And that man has tried to do the right thing even before becoming a Kabane.

You cannot just barge in here!

They won't listen. They demand we stop the Kotetsujo.

Please stop the train.

We want to hold a funeral.

We want to pray for our family.

Our prayers will not reach them if we go too far.

Do you want our grandchildren unable to pass on?

How many times do I have to tell you?

You spin around and boom, boom, bam.

You're not even close.

Just because you can do it...

...your explanation is terrible!

Get it together already.

You're already getting overpowered when I haven't even removed my restraint.

What is that thing around your neck for?

Probably the same as yours.

It's just that if I remove mine, I can fight at my full potential.

But after a while, the curse spreads and I get tired.

It's strange.

-Kabane? -What is it?

Hey!

Mumei! What are you doing?

Please stop.

I saw you get two!

It's the Kabane!

-The Kabane? -She's not supposed to come out!

The Kabane are loose!

I definitely felt it.

Come back, Mumei!

You promised you were going to stay in the boiler car.

Stay out of my way!

Don't move!

You're just like the Kabane.

I knew not to trust you.

Stop! I'm taking Mumei back with me right now.

I'll make sure she cooperates until we reach Kongokaku.

You think you can make me?

Mumei-san.

What is the meaning of this?

Why did you come out?

You promised me.

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

We never should have let Kabanes onboard!

Let's remove them from the train now.

-I'd like to see you try. -Stop it!

I've got bad news, Captain. Seems like the water tank we patched together is busted.

No way it's making it to the next station.

Are we stopping?

They're gathering water.

Check and see if the pressure's rising.

Yes, that's it.

There are no Kabanes in sight.

How long do we need in order to repair the water tank?

We might be done by morning.

Morning?

We can have the lookouts rotate in shifts.

That is a good idea.

Then let us hold a vigil since the Kotetsujo is stopped.

For those elderly people?

I would like to pray as well.

For my father.

Understood.

Please have mercy. Please have mercy.

What?

Is that true?

And pretending to be human.

-Are you kidding me? -Unforgivable.

Hey, get back to work.

It's not like praying is going to bring them back to life.

I'll do it.

You are the worst.

Did you lose someone too?

My teacher.

Were you particularly close with your teacher?

You disgust me.

That's just the kind of man I am.

You're not going to pray?

I lost my family years ago.

Just like me.

It's a pretty common story.

Losing your family to the Kabane.

What's that in your right hand?

It hurts when I get hit by it.

Just a rock you can find around any river.

I found two of these pretty rocks with my sister.

I told her she could have both...

...but she said we should both keep one as good luck charms.

I never planned on keeping it as a memento.

It was five years ago.

The Kabane broke through our station.

The adults fled in fear.

We were left behind.

And my sister was caught by the Kabane.

It's a pretty common story, isn't it?

But what do you think her stupid brother did?

He ran away.

I made an excuse about calling for help...

...and I ran from there.

I tried to rely on someone else.

By the time I returned...

...my sister was lying on the ground, already beginning to change.

The cowardly brother cried and apologized.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

But it was already too late.

My sister was gone.

Even if it meant dying with her...

...I should have overcome my fear and fought.

No matter how much I hate myself for running away...

...my sister is never coming back.

Yeah, that's a pretty common story.

The weak die...

...and the strong survive.

That's all it is.

Do we do it?

Let me do it.

What are you planning on doing?

They are not our enemies.

They saved us.

The Kabane are our enemy!

What if they attack us first?

Please allow us to do this, Ayame-sama!

I can't believe...

Ayame-sama?

Your friends are awful jumpy.

That's...

Fine with me. If you want war, I am happy to oblige!

Hey!

Stop trying to act brave when you're weak.

Mumei, don't provoke them!

They're the ones doing the provoking.

Look! I knew the Kabaneri were our enemy!

Don't back down!

We have to protect our families!

Rokkon shojo!

Stop!

-Please don't, Ayame-sama. -Please come down, it's dangerous.

I can't?

I'm sorry.

Mother won't be able to have you.

Shino-san?

It's the Kabaneri!

Why are you here?

These guys are jumpy too.

I didn't come to fight.

-Hey, can you do me a favor? -What is it?

What is it?

Do you need to go potty?

Are you not feeling well?

I got him to laugh!

Ikoma, you told my father...

...not to point our guns at the wrong targets.

Then!

Are the Kabaneri our enemy?

Or are you our allies?

Ayame-sama! Please don't!

As the one left in charge of the Kotetsujo...

...I have to ascertain...

...who our enemies are and who our allies are.

Why aren't you using your right arm? Why don't you just grab and bite me?

-I can't! -Why not?

Because I made a vow.

I won't run away anymore.

Even if it would save me.

I am not sacrificing any more lives!

It's the Kabane who are our enemy.

My purpose in life...

...is to destroy the Kabane!

Are you...

...satisfied now?

Those who still believe he is our enemy...

...you are welcome to come up here.

I shall give you the opportunity to check for yourself.

-I am sorry for testing you like that. -It's okay.

But why did you take the blade directly?

You could have grabbed my arm.

Oh, I can't control my strength.

It hasn't been long since I became like this.

I was afraid I might have hurt you.

Oh, my. You do not need to be so concerned.

Please worry more about yourself.

Okay.

Ikoma?

What happened?

Seriously! Stop!

That's so funny!

All that laughing made me hungry.

We have some dumpling soup. I'll get you a bowl.

Thanks.

But I don't need that.

Just give me blood.

Blood?

It's red.

The stuff that comes out when you cut someone.

But you're...

A Kabaneri.

I'm half-Kabane, after all.

It must be because of your bleeding.

Please hold on.

Are you kidding me? Are you telling us to become Kabane too?

Get back, Kajika! She's just a monster after all!

It's not my fault, I got hungry.

It's a Kabane!

Shino-san?

Wait! She's...

She's pregnant.

Ikoma? What are you doing?

Even if the stars

That connect you make a sound

There are just dreams in the same rain

And lights are dried up

I am tired of getting answers

By mimicking others

Dawn without the sun

And broken morning

Smashed cry & dream The ideal only has its doors

City is uplifted and drown in noise

I will still sing and stop turning the rudder

To hush silence
