All language subtitles for Janus no Kagami - 18.en

Hiromi's grandmother, Hatsue Ozawa,

fell seriously ill
and was rushed to the hospital.

Under Kunihiko's guardianship,

Hiromi returned
to the embrace of nature,

but it also reignited
her inner demon, Yumi.

Yumi had disappeared
from the mountain villa

and suddenly appeared in the hospital

where Hatsue was hospitalized.

She has tuberculosis?

And you say it's terminal, too?

A normal person would've
succumbed to it by now.

Mrs. Ozawa's vitality is
astonishing, though.

So we should be prepared for the worst?

Hey, old bat, don't be catching Z's
like you're on cloud nine!

Wakey, wakey!

Hiromi…

Are you back, Hiromi?

My name is Yumi. Yumi came to see you.

You came to see me?

What do you want?

I'm about to blow this joint
and head overseas.

You're gonna cough up
the dough for my trip.

I won't take no for an answer.

I've got the goods on you.

-The goods?
-That's right.

Hiromi's a scatterbrain, she never
figured it, but I'm onto you.

You killed Hiromi's mother, didn't you?

What did you say?

It was you!

I've had this
gut feeling for a while now

that you're the one
who did in Hiromi's mom.

A gut feeling for a while now?

Yeah, ever since I can remember.

Old coot, if this got you rattled,
cough up the cash.

If not, I'll kill you!

Kill me.

Take that knife…

and stab me in my heart.

Listen here, old bag,
I ain't just blowing smoke.

When I say I'm gonna
do something, I mean it!

Yumi!

Teach, I'm ready to split this joint.

I'm fed up with puny Japan
and I'm fed up with your mug!

-Stay outta my way!
-Yumi,

if you're set on going abroad,
I won't interfere.

But you can't leave now.

Now, I wanna split, right this second!

Old codger, you gonna pony up or not?

Just kill me.

-You bitch!
-Yumi!

Have you stooped
to killing someone immobile!?

What?

Hiromi, let's leave this world together.

Even if I'm alive, there's no hope.

Will you join me in death?

Go to hell! Get off me, you old hag!

Yumi!

-Mr. Tsutsumi!
-Hiromi!

Old bat, I promise
I ain't done with you.

Get that cash prepped and primed.

Otherwise, Hiromi's gonna hear
all about your dirty little secret.

-Now, outta my way!
-Yumi!

Kazuki, just a moment…

Yumi! Come back.

Teach, don't get in my way!

Come back to the mountains with me.

No way I'm heading back.
I can't stand being caged in!

Yumi!

Yumi, hop on!

Yumi!

The ancient Roman god Janus
was said to be able to see

both the inside and outside
of things at the same time.

This story is a grand romance
about a girl whose other heart

was peered into by Janus.

THE MIRROR OF JANUS

Suppose, you too, had another face…

SHINING COALESCENCE

Please, come in.

Mrs. Ozawa, there's something
crucial I must convey to you.

Could you please release Hiromi
from this realm of darkness?

Realm of darkness?

That's right.

She's been under your full control

for as long as she can remember.

That's why Hiromi had to create Yumi,

a persona completely unlike herself.

Yumi is a bold woman, unafraid
to transgress moral boundaries.

But Hiromi isn't like that.

Hiromi is now striving to make
amends for Yumi's misdeeds

by sacrificing herself.

Hiromi wants to die?

That's right.

Mrs. Ozawa, only you
can mend Hiromi's spirit.

The key lies in you revealing
the truth about Yukiko.

The truth about Yukiko?

Indeed.

Nothing else can salvage Hiromi's soul.

I must also ask another
difficult request of you.

Hiromi believes that if she dies,
Yumi will cease to exist as well.

She sees this as her way to atone.

But she remains unaware of
the true nature of life and death.

Mrs. Ozawa, please enlighten Hiromi

about the harsh reality

of human mortality,

its cruelty, and its senselessness.

This is a lesson that only you
can impart to her now.

Hatsue, have a good night's rest.

I'm heading home.

Hatsue, what are you talking about?

I'm uncertain how much longer

the flame of my life will flicker.

That girl promised she'd return.

I'll be waiting for her there.

Does that mean you're granting
Mr. Tsutsumi's favor?

That goes without saying.

I live by my beliefs.

After that, I'll die.

Yumi, get off.

You're Hiromi!?

Ryoko, I turned
into Yumi again, didn't I?

I became her and ran away
from the mountains to town, right?

You got it. You betrayed
Mr. Tsutsumi and came here.

I'm going back to Mr. Tsutsumi.

Not so fast!

I get that you're as pure as snow now,

but I can't live with myself
unless I deal with Yumi.

No way I'm letting you
waltz back to Mr. Tsutsumi.

Ryoko, please let me go back!

Stop acting like a brat! Come along now.

Hiromi, we both got ditched
as babies right after birth.

I was chucked into
a coin locker at Tokyo Station.

In a coin locker!?

I sat in that cramped, dark box.

Most kids would've croaked
in three days,

but I was still squawking
when they found me.

For better or worse,
I ended up in an orphanage,

thanks to the station staff.

There were no clues about my folks.

The thing that raised me was this city.

This sea of neon lights is
my stomping ground.

I was a kid born without luck

and spawned from hatred.

The only one who ever felt
like family to me was Yumi.

But Yumi turned her back on me.

You think I'm just gonna let that slide?

Ryoko, if I did something bad
to you as Yumi, I apologize.

But it seems like
you're drowning in hate.

Aren't you letting your fixation
on hate consume you?

What'd you say!?

Get lost with that nonsense!

My hatred isn't some petty squabble.

Hiromi, listen up,

I won't let you outta my sight
until you become Yumi.

I ain't letting go of my hate till
I've given Yumi a big thrashing.

Will beating up Yumi
make you feel better?

You bet it will.

Ryoko, I have a favor to ask you.

I have to ask Grandma something.

Can you give me some time
before I become Yumi?

-Are you trying to turn tail?
-No, I'm not.

I promise I'll return to you
after seeing Grandma.

Hiromi, I'll be with you

until you finish asking
your grandma, got it?

Come in.

Get me a drink, the strongest you have.

So Mr. Prodigy over here drinks, huh?

I graduated from high school.

Be that as it may, you're still a minor.

So I can't drink?

Fine, I'll get it for you.

I guess you're on the edge of
falling apart without it, huh?

Here, both of you can share this bottle.

Both the shining stars
and the slackers alike

should just knock it back
till they pass out.

Welcome.

Tatsuro, I've come to pick you up.

Tatsuro, it's time to head home.

Haven't you been out long enough?

Go back to high school and start anew.

I'm not going back to high school.

Falling in love with Yumi

taught me more than
high school ever could.

Tatsuro, cut it out
with this childish talk.

You're a man.

Eventually, you'll have to take
matters into your own hands.

I know. I've got a heap of
things on my mind, too.

But my mind's all muddled.
Because you're all full of crap.

Tatsuro!

Pops, you might've owned up
that Hiromi's your daughter,

but it feels so phony.

It wasn't really out of concern
for Hiromi's well-being,

but to skirt around a commotion for you.

It's so damn cold.

Tatsuro, your father is doing his best

in his own way to not hurt me.

Save it, Mom.

I'm sick of grownups like you

who are just obsessed with their image.

Mom, now you've found out
Pops has a secret kid.

How about divorcing him?
No reason to keep up this marriage.

-Tatsuro…
-Tatsuro!

Welcome!

Tetsuya, I've been looking for you.

Inspector, are you here because
your son's drinking underage?

Spare me, please.

I'm just here to see him
like any regular father would.

Tetsuya, what's bothering you?

I took a look in your room,
and it was a complete mess.

It's all gone.

Everything I've been
striving for, it's all vanished.

Can't you see? Since elementary,

my whole being revolved around
getting into Tokyo University.

And once I achieved that,
there was nothing left.

What are you talking about, Tetsuya?

Can't you see that you're about
to embark on a new world!?

How can I believe in the future

when my whole past has crumbled!?

Sure, I aced those exams,

but I feel like I've missed out
on what truly matters.

And what's that?

The real world, filled with living,
breathing people,

that forges genuine connections.

It didn't hit me until Yumi
torched all my Ozawa paintings.

I never loved Ozawa as a real person.

I loved her like a doll,
dancing to my tune.

I've lost.

I have been heartbroken.

So you admit you're heartbroken?

Right! I admit I'm heartbroken
over Hiromi Ozawa!

Then drink until you drop.

Okay, I'll join you on that drink.

To my broken heart for Yumi Onuma.

Wanna keep my company?

Why not?

Where did we go wrong in raising them?

I'm at a loss for
what to make of all this.

Because they've lost all sense!

Ma'am,

if you keep talking like that,
you'll push Tatsuro away for good.

Why not just give him
the freedom he needs?

That way, he can explore the world

and eventually find his way back to you.

Tetsuya!

Wait!

You said Yumi Onuma burned
your paintings. When was this?

Wasn't she with Mr. Tsutsumi
in the mountains? Speak up!

Dad, all you ever do is bark orders.

Do this, do that. Don't you know
any other Japanese words!?

Tetsuya,
I won't tolerate your disrespect!

This is exactly
what I can't stand about you!

What did you say, you punk!?

Did Yumi show up or not? Answer me!

Mr. Shindo, I'll answer for him.

Yumi came back to town.

What!?

But don't worry,

Yumi will head back
to the Ozawa family tomorrow.

What makes you so damn sure?

Hiromi called me, that's why.

Mr. Kawamoto,

come to the Ozawa household
tomorrow and reunite with Hiromi.

Me? I don't see why
I should do that anymore.

Mr. Kawamoto, if you don't come clean,

Hiromi will be stuck
in her endless nightmare.

Consider that carefully.

Pops.

If you don't go, I'll stab you.

Mom, the same goes for you.

It's the old lady.

Mr. Tsutsumi!

The hell is going on?

Dear, ensure
the Ozawa family understands

that Hiromi is not your child.

-Oh, I'll be very clear.
-After that, we'll excuse ourselves.

Mrs. Ozawa, I think you should lie down.

You needn't worry about me.

Principal,
I won't die until I see Hiromi.

Will Hiromi really come?

Yes, I have faith that she will.

Hiromi's been waiting for you
since last night.

Hiromi, come in.

Ozawa!

Mr. Tsutsumi,
I'm sorry for worrying you.

-Please forgive me.
-Hiromi…

Hiromi.

Please,

let me take a good look at you.

Grandma, when I found out
that the part of me

I was losing myself into,

called herself Yumi Onuma,

wreaking havoc in the city

and causing criminal incidents,

I felt like dying.

But now, with Mr. Tsutsumi's guidance,

I'm trying to understand why
I turn into Yumi Onuma.

However, if Yumi refuses to leave me,

I'll end both our lives.

This is what I've concluded.

The first thing that comes
to mind is your punishment.

The most agonizing part

was when you hurled hateful words at me

about my birth mother.

Hiromi, you've inherited
your mother's licentious blood.

She ignored my advice,

freely mingling with city delinquents,

and now you carry that same inclination.

Do you want to follow her path
and become licentious!?

Your insults would leave me numb,

losing touch with reality.

The thought that

my mother's licentiousness
also runs in my veins

shattered my will to live.

I felt incapable of both
giving and receiving love.

I cried myself to sleep so many times.

Grandma,

Mr. Principal,

and Mr. Kawamoto,

please tell me the truth
about my mother.

Yukiko, your mother

was an exceptional daughter.

Your grandparents had high hopes for her

to become a woman of great stature.

We educated her about the world

and instilled in her a thirst for
knowledge from a young age.

We raised her with utmost care.

But then…

this man next to you tore it all apart.

This monster!

Now, just a minute. I did no such thing.

Mr. Kawamoto, I don't acknowledge you

as my father right now.

I don't even want you to be my father.

I just want you to tell me the truth
about my mother, Yukiko.

Hiromi, it's true that
I was dating Yukiko.

As I've mentioned before,

I met this lady and she called me
a fortune-hunting mongrel.

I was still young and full of pride.

After that encounter,

I abruptly ended things with Yukiko.

Pops, you admitted yesterday
that you're her father!

Tatsuro, be quiet!

Mr. Kawamoto, you dated Yukiko

and your wife simultaneously, right?

Didn't you leave Yukiko
to run a jewelry store

in Ginza instead of
marrying into the Ozawa family?

Hiromi, Yukiko was pregnant
with you back then.

I didn't want her to have you.

You despicable witch!

You ought to be ashamed for
getting knocked up

by some hoodlum!

Listen up, Yukiko,

I will never allow you to
bring this child into this world.

Never, do you hear me!?

Unsure of how to secure
a future for her daughter,

Yukiko fled from home
and gave birth to you.

Hearing rumors of her wandering
the streets at night with her child,

I began searching for Yukiko.

-Yukiko!
-Mother.

You imbecile!

How much further do you plan
to disgrace the Ozawa family!?

Mother, I gave birth to a daughter.

I'm sure when he lays eyes
on this child, he'll return to me.

I mean, look at her,
she's such a cute baby.

Disgusting! It's a spawn of sin.

This child has no place
in the Ozawa family!

Mother…

Take your own life,
along with this child! You disgrace!

You've no right to live,
birthing such a tainted offspring!

End your life!
End it all, along with your child!

Mother, I ask that
you please spare the baby.

Please, spare her.

Please, spare her.

Yukiko!

Hiromi, your mother Yukiko

was an honest woman who loved deeply.

My obsession
with the Ozawa family's reputation

pushed her to her death.

Can you forgive me?

Hiromi, I projected

my anger towards Yukiko onto you.

I nearly condemned you

to the same tragic fate.

Please, forgive me.

Grandma!

I refuse to die.

Hiromi,

I'll keep on living…

until I witness you walking down
the wedding aisle.

I swear I won't let death take me.

I don't want to die…

I want to live…

Ozawa!

What just happened!?

I believe Hatsue agreed
to Mr. Tsutsumi's plea.

What was Mr. Tsutsumi's plea?

He asked her

to impart upon Hiromi a crucial
lesson only she could deliver.

To confront death.

Death!?

Human demise isn't gentle
or kind, it's grim and horrifying.

Hatsue sought to teach Hiromi
this harsh reality.

As Hiromi's grandmother,

Hatsue endured till the end
to save Hiromi's soul

from the clutches of death.

That's how she revealed
the brutality of death.

I…

I am an irredeemably shameful man.

I trifled with Yukiko's feelings
and deserted her,

neglecting
every responsibility as a father.

Not once did I consider

my daughter's well-being.

Hiromi…

is my daughter!

She's my real…

daughter.

-Ozawa, wait!
-Hiromi!

You're Yumi!

Ryoko, let's settle our beef
once and for all.

Bring it!

Fine, let's do this thing.

Teach, you're here as our witness.

Don't butt in until we're done.

You're dead. I'm gonna end you for good!

I'm gonna make you regret crossing me!

Ryoko, did you forget that
even if you stab me with a knife,

I don't feel a damn thing?

Shut it!

What's the deal, Yumi?

Aren't you supposed to feel no pain?

Dammit, the hell's going on!?

Yumi, it seems like
you've lost your magic.

Consider yourself history!

You think I'm just gonna
let you kill me!? I want to live!

I'm gonna fight tooth
and nail to stay alive!

Tsutsumi, I'll kill anyone
who gets in the way of my life!

Yumi!

I'll kill you.
I'm gonna freaking kill you!

Yumi, stop!

Sis!

-Yumi…
-Hiromi! Don't do it!

Shut up, just buzz off!

Die!

Yumi, what's the matter!?

Why won't you stick the knife in?

Yumi.

If I do that, you'll be dead, won't you?

And if you're dead,

I'll never get to hear
your preaching again!

Yumi.

Yumi.

Ozawa!

Mr. Tsutsumi, I…

Ozawa, you were able to stop being Yumi

of your own free will!

Mr. Tsutsumi…

Seems like Yumi is
out of the picture for good.

That means my enemy's vanished.

Now it's my time
to hightail it out of this town.

Boss, where are you going?

I'd rather you ask the north wind.

This officially closes the book
on the Yumi Onuma case.

Dad, I'm gonna try to start anew.

Hiromi, it's the start of
a fresh school year.

Keep your head up and good luck!

Sure! Dad, shall we go?

What an honor.

Hiromi!

-Good morning!
-Good morning, Junko!

I have good news,
Mr. Tsutsumi is teaching again.

Mr. Tsutsumi's back? Really?

Dad, I'd better run along!

Excuse me! Hiromi, wait up!

-Hey, it's Hiromi!
-Hiromi, how you been!?

-We've all been waiting!
-Hiromi!

You think she's actually cured?

It doesn't matter, a troublemaker
should be expelled.

Still, with her
split personality disorder,

her Ozawa side
isn't guilty of the crime, right?

If we're too harsh on the children,

we might just breed another Yumi.

-Mr. Principal!
-What is it?

Has Mr. Tsutsumi really been reinstated?

That's right.

But he's been transferred
to a private high school in Kyushu,

where my friend serves as principal.

-In Kyushu!?
-No way.

Ozawa, Mr. Tsutsumi asked me
to deliver this letter to you.

Ozawa, as you read this,

I'll already be bound for Kyushu.

Ozawa, leaving you
feels like severing a limb.

But it's a choice I've made.

And the reason for that, Ozawa,

is that I want you
to reclaim your youth at 17.

Mingling with peers of your age.

Despite the trials and immaturity,

that's also the world
17-year-olds must undertake, right?

Ozawa, you've experienced
various encounters and goodbyes

in both daylight and darkness.

I urge you to etch them deep
within your heart once more.

Just like you,
they craved freedom fiercely,

burning their souls in pursuit,

resulting in deep wounds

that mark them as warriors.

Placing trust in humanity
outweighs surrendering to despair.

Despair breeds stagnation,

but trust instills the courage
to forge your own path.

Embracing the struggles
and triumphs of a freedom fighter

will shape you
in ways nothing else can.

Ozawa, may you utilize
these experiences

as wings for your imagination,
seeking new horizons.

Encounter many wise
and compassionate souls

until you find
the one deserving of you.

Ozawa, through the fusion of
Hiromi's and Yumi's spirits,

you've been reborn.

I have faith in your strength
as a revitalized individual.

Humanity's resilience lies
in embracing the world's pains

and persevering with a smile.

Ozawa, this is goodbye.

Ozawa, I am grateful to have met you.

Goodbye.

Mr. Tsutsumi,

goodbye.

Goodbye!

ON APRIL 16, 1986,
HIROMI OZAWA, 17 YEARS OLD

YOUR LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN

THE END
