We've gotta get out of here! Shiki? Shiki! Oni blood makes you nothing but a pest to humanity. Exterminating those pests is our job. We are the Momotaro Agency. How could you still be alive? The Momotaro fairy tale was all real. For thousands of years, Momotaro and the Oni have been at war, passing down the fight from generation to generation. Eventually, the Momotaro descendants banded together and formed what's now the Momotaro Agency. Out of fear, the Oni began hiding among humans. What the hell are you talking about? You stay put. From here on out, it's time for the adults. Pops! This black mist is a unique trait only possessed by those of Momotaro blood. It's been a while, Senpai. We've both aged, huh? Tsuyoshi Momogawara, formerly with the Momotaro Agency. Don't call me by that name! Pops? My old man's a Momotaro? I'm Tsuyoshi Ichinose. Even if you've changed your name, it doesn't change the fact that you're a Momotaro. You haven't forgotten just how dangerous Oni truly are, have you? You sheltered an Oni, Senpai. For that, you'll be eliminated as well. Like hell! What the hell? One thing after another. None of it makes sense. Why are you protecting an Oni? Why? They're monsters who do nothing but harm humans! Shut the hell up! Why didn't you ever tell me? Pops! Senpai... you really thought you could beat me after all I've survived since you walked away? You bastard! Get over here! I'll freakin' kill you! No need to tell me. Why go this far? Why would you protect that Oni? Why, huh? You think a father needs a damn reason? Of course I'd protect him! He's my son! He hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't hurt anyone. And you'd kill an innocent kid just because of what's in his blood? Shut up. Tell me. Could you hold your own child with those hands you've used to kill and kill again? Shut up! Pops... Why am I just hanging here, watching? Why is Pops the one getting hurt? Wasn't I the one he was trying to kill? Why? That bastard... Why'd he hurt my Pops? I'll freakin' kill him. I'll kill him. I'll kill him. I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill you! He's awakened. Oni fight by manipulating blood. But that's not what's truly terrifying about them. The reason we kill Oni is because of their uncontrollable savagery and the loss of their humanity! Damn Oni scum! What the hell happened? What is this? A typical state of confusion from memory loss and bodily mutation. If you die here, all your fear ends with you. All Oni must be eradicated! Even after seeing that Oni, you still stand by your decision, Senpai? Dad! Pops! It wasn't so bad, being happy for a little while. Hey, what the hell happened? Was it a gas explosion? What happened? Call the fire department! Hey! Wait! Pops! Hey! Are you okay? Shiki. That's right, an ambulance. Never mind that. At least let me talk to you one last time. Sorry I kept so much from you. It must be confusing. It's fine. Don't worry about it! They'd kill you just for having Oni blood. How the hell was I supposed to tell my own son that? I won't be around anymore. But get stronger, okay? Strong enough to beat both the Momotaro and the Oni so you can live free... without anyone taking your happiness away. That's a promise, man to man. Shut up! I didn't ask for some dramatic final speech! I don't care how beat up you are! You can't cut and run on me like this! I'm not done with you, Pops! We've got stuff to talk about! You hear me? You listening, you stubborn bastard? It'd be nice if Oni and Momotaro could live like this, side by side. Huh? H-Hey. Pops? No, no. That's not right. Not yet... Hey! You haven't even heard my apology yet! I told you I was glad we weren't blood-related! You wanna hear me apologize for that, don't you? Let me take it back, damn it! And then just call me an idiot like always. Come on, Pops! Hey! Say something! Dad... Too many eyes around here. Letting someone sneak up on you that easily. Points off. Samidare screwed up. He acted alone. Pathetic! Haven't the Momotaro gotten weaker lately? Understandable. We can't let the public become aware of our existence. The masses don't need to know that filthy Oni still walk among them. Then kill the Oni child before he awakens. Find every last Oni hiding in human society. And exterminate them all. Welcome back, Naito. What do you need from me, Principal? I heard you managed to get someone through the entrance test? What of it? It's been years since we had a successful applicant, right? What's this? What happened? Drought, drought, and then bam, bumper crop. We don't even know how useful they'll be yet. Aw, come on, now. Admit it. You're a little excited, aren't you? Maybe your hearing's going. Aw, hot and cold. Make sure they don't die, or at least see if they're strong enough to survive. They're some of the rare good ones that only show up once every few decades. I've got high hopes. And didn't you find one more? I retrieved him, but evaluating him might be a waste of time. If he turns out to be useless...

Daddy, carry me! One thousand two hundred ninety-five... One thousand two hundred ninety-six... One thousand two hundred ninety-seven... I didn't want to force you to wake up. Your brain wouldn't understand... One thousand two hundred ninety-eight... ...the explanation while half-conscious, anyway. One thousand two hundred ninety-nine... I don't like repeating myself... One thousand three hundred... And I hate inefficiency. In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight I'm Naito Mudano. Just like you, I'm an Oni. I won't tell you where this is. Your father's body is safely stored somewhere else. I brought you here for two reasons, evaluation and retrieval. These roller skates? I use them because they're fast and efficient. Mmmph! You've seen it, haven't you? Someone who can control that black mist. That was a Momotaro. More precisely, someone descended from Momotaro. They belong to the Momotaro Agency, an organization that exterminates Oni. And to oppose them... there's the Oni Agency. I find awakened Oni like you and assess whether you're fit to join the Oni Agency. That's it. Now I'll take your questions. What the hell's your problem? Untie me, already! What'd you do with my dad? If you've done anything to him, I'll kill you! Point deduction: minus one. I told you his body is being safely stored. If it were damaged, that wouldn't be "safely stored." Do you lack the brainpower to understand that? You just wasted 35 seconds of my life with that question. Like I care, dumbass! As if I'd trust a word out of your mouth! The stubborn type, I see. This has nothing to do with your father right now. If you're out of questions, the evaluation continues. Shut up! First off, unstrap me! Point deduction: minus two. You're strapped down because you get violent. Stop scoring people like that! You're pissing me off! Are you stupid? I said you're being evaluated. Who the hell is this guy? He just grabbed me and brought me here... No, focus. Stay cool. Evaluation? Never heard of it. Don't really have time for that stuff. So how about you untie me already? Because I've got a score to settle with the guy who killed my dad. So don't get in my way, you tool. Don't give me that creepy look. I see. Just a death-seeker, huh? Then I've got the perfect method for you. I've always thought the standard evaluation method was inefficient. You don't seem like the type who looks good in a tie. What the hell are you even... The point is, are you usable or not? A creature's true nature comes out when it's close to death. Use that tiny brain and figure a way out of this. If you can't, then die. No! I'm not dying! Like hell am I dying from something like this! Death? Screw that! So, are you just a fool after all? He's gone into berserker mode? Minus 100. You don't even know how to use your Oni blood, do you? Guess I'll show you... the right way to use your Oni blood. Though I'm sure you won't remember anything from while you were in berserker mode. If I were the type to let my guard down, this could be a fatal hit. But I don't let my guard down. What the hell? Did I pass out again? My arm! Again? Bet your memory's all blank, huh? Oni blood is powerful but hard to control. When you go berserk, you lose both your self and your memory. And you destroy everything in the process. Blood? Berserk? What the hell are you talking about? And that weird stuff coming out of you, what's that? A knife in the hands of the ignorant is a terrifying thing. This isn't "berserk." I'm controlling my Oni blood. No need to explain any further. You're disqualified. What the hell? None of this makes sense. Say it in a way I can actually understand, damn it! Only thing I get for sure... is this guy is insanely strong! Look, I hate your guts, but you're strong. Swallowing my pride here. Make me your underling! I want to get stronger so I can avenge my dad! Denied. In battle, not using your head equals death. Yet you went berserk without thinking. You can't control your blood, and you don't use your brain. Like I said, useless. Piece of... Guy lets me grovel and then talks down to me? Time to dispose of you efficiently. Can't let a berserker roam free. What was that just now? Oh. That's it! Two can play at that game! If I stay still, I'm screwed! This is do or die! And if I die, I'll apologize to Pops in the afterlife! He's lost it? No, maybe not. Carelessness is the great enemy. Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! 1: Charge in blindly. 2: Slide in low and go for the legs. 3: Jump and attack from above. 4: Feint and retreat. Which one's it gonna be? Number three, huh? Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! It worked! Just a fluke? The fact is... he was halfway to being in berserker mode. I-I'm gonna... So that's all he's got. Useless. Blood Eclipse Release: Rebirth's Deluge. Not... giving in. Not... gonna lose to it. I said I'm not giving in, you bastard! I did it! Hey, how about that? He controlled his blood? No, more than that. He just suppressed berserker mode. It wasn't a fluke. How'd you do that? If you wanna know, make me your underling! I'll think about it. Liar! Whatever. I don't know jack about Oni blood, but you talked about controlling it. How, though? But when I saw you slice your finger and make that umbrella... I had a light-bulb moment. We're both Oni, right? So I figured maybe I could copy you. Copy me? I didn't know how, so I just cranked my brain and yelled at my arm to make a weapon! And, boom, there it was! Pretty sick, huh? What kind of idiot logic is that? You wanna go, jerk? Come over here! There's no way someone could control Oni blood with that level of dumbassery. Normally, emotional hotheads like him have trouble controlling their blood. They're the worst fit for this power. Because normally, to control Oni blood... Emotions rising! Calm down. At this rate, you'll enter berserker mode. Stay alert. Got it. Just a little blood control. Understood. Let's go with about 30% usage. So bored. This is the norm. Keep it balanced with rationality, prevent going berserk, and control the blood. But he's different. Yikes! Emotions spiking! If I don't contain it, I'll go berserk! Shut up! If I said I'm doing it, then I'm damn well doing it! Hell yeah, bro! Time to cut loose! Don't get cocky! All right, pal! Lend me some power! Ow! Quit it! Yeah! That's it. He's not being rational but is using raw instinct to control the blood. He forced it. It's crude, but it's explosive. But now what? Hey. To get stronger... to kill that guy... If you teach me everything you know, I'll soak it all up. And maybe I'll become one of those "usable" guys you keep talking about. So come on, make me your underling! Denied. What you just did was reckless, a gamble with your life. What if you'd lost control of yourself? You didn't even think that far. A proper fighter has multiple backup plans. If every failed guess makes you start from scratch... you're inefficient. Too bad. I never thought about making you my lackey for a second. But I think I will make you my student. Just barely scraped by, but you pass. I won't explain what the test was. I just figured it was too early to call you a failure. Student? Pass? Huh? Let me explain more efficiently. This island is called "Hell's Doorstep," commonly known as Onigashima. At its center is a school built for Oni, Rasetsu Academy. It's nothing like a normal school. It's a military school for Oni to train and fight against the Momotaro Agency. Wait, what? I'm on an island? Seriously? That part doesn't matter. At Rasetsu Academy, you'll learn to control your Oni blood, how to fight, general education, and the history between Oni and Momotaro. Also, I'm your homeroom teacher. You'll live in a dorm, train every day, and fight the Momotaro Agency. That's it. My head's about to explode. Your brain's the size of a shot glass. Hey! That was just a straight-up insult! More importantly... can I really get stronger? Strong enough to destroy the bastards who killed my dad? That's up to you. But if not, you're expelled. If it'll make me stronger, then hell yeah, I'm in! I'll join whatever damn school you throw at me! Something's growing out of my head? It's proof your Oni blood has awakened. 123... With training, you can make them appear and disappear at will. 124... Even my wounds are healed. That's actually kinda awesome. Enough gawking. Hurry up and change. 125... Can't believe I'm going back to school. You're not the only one who passed. Among them, your skill level is the lowest. If you turn out to be useless, you're out. Easy. Oh, yeah, what happened to my dad? His body is in the morgue. Didn't know your religion, so the funeral arrangements are up to you. Dwelling on regrets is a waste of time. You really know how to say crap in the worst way. Get stronger so you don't feel that regret again. Don't waste your experience. Don't be an irrational fool. You're kinda nice, huh? Quit dawdling! You've got 15 seconds to get to class! Hey! No fair! I can't move like you! Then you're expelled. You serious? I am an Oni, after all. Loud and clear, you jerk! This is your class. Man, you really don't slow down, huh? School, huh? My blood's getting pumped! Should I bust in loud? Or play it cool with a boss entrance? Just go in, already. Whoa! Ow. That guy... Wait, is this a nosebleed? Ugh, how embarrassing! Hey, you! You've got tissues, right? You're wearing a mask. What, you got hay fever? Give me a tissue. Don't talk to me. Wait, what? Pretty rude for a guy who just met me, huh? Huh? No horns? You haven't awakened yet? Are you a baby Oni? You know, with training, you can pop 'em in and out. Watch and learn. Anyone who walks around flaunting them is just a dumb rookie. Hey. A "dumb rookie." Does that include me? Why wouldn't it? If you're picking a fight, I've got one answer. Hell yeah. Yeah! Let's go! Gentlemen, please! Let's not disrupt the classroom environment! I may have a handkerchief, if you need one. S-Sorry! I don't have any tissues. My stomach hurts. Am I dying? I'll have to tear a page from this book. No, no, don't! Rules must be upheld! If this preserves order, then... Use this! Nah. Stuffing that up my nose will probably hurt. Forget my nosebleed. It's you I can't stand, you and that smug attitude! Why don't you pipe down, nosebleed boy? Say what? Hey. You didn't come here to play around, right? Wait, since when was I sitting at the desk? When did he get behind us? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Switch seats! I can't stand this guy! Too bad. Today was supposed to be orientation and school rules... but we're doing something else instead. You're Oni, right? So we'll play tag. Wait, we're playing a game? This area is called Shinra Forest. You have one hour to make it back to school without getting caught by me. If you're caught, you'll be restrained on the spot. If everyone is caught, the game ends. Huh? So it's just regular tag. Also, if you don't make it to the goal in time, you're expelled. Expelled? That's nuts! If you think this is just some normal school, you'd be better off dying once and starting over. This is training. After graduation, you'll all be on the front lines against the Momotaro Agency. Yes, your life will always be on the line. I won't use my blood. You can use yours however you want. But if you go berserk, I will use mine. What if we kill you? If you think you can beat us without blood powers, don't cry if we kill you. Go ahead and try. If you succeed, you graduate instantly... and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. Seriously? If I graduate, I'll be that much closer to him! But killing the teacher... You all came here with a goal, right? If you want to make it, keep on winning. I'll keep throwing obstacles at you. If you can't overcome them, you'll be left behind. Looks like most of you are ready. Except one of you. You quitting? Hell no! If a guy's gonna come at me with everything he's got... then I'm giving everything I've got back! Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 03v2 (480p) [8EB856E1] In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight If you don't make it to the goal in time, you're expelled. Expelled? That's nuts! If you think this is just some normal school, you'd be better off dying once and starting over. This is training. After graduation, you'll all be on the front lines against the Momotaro Agency. Yes, your life will always be on the line. I won't use my blood. You can use yours however you want. But if you go berserk, I will use mine. What if we kill you? If you think you can beat us without blood powers, don't cry if we kill you. Go ahead and try. If you succeed, you graduate instantly... and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. For Shiki and the other new students at Rasetsu Academy, their first test... is Oni Tag. They must return to the school within one hour without getting caught by the "it" player, Mudano. There's one more rule. To reach the goal, you'll need one of these. Whoa, those really flew! If you don't have a ball, even if you reach the goal, it won't count. Sensei! But there were only two balls! So we're supposed to fight each other for them, huh? There are a lot of you, so we'll split you into three groups. Group One is... Homare Byobugaura... Shiki Ichinose... Jin Kougasaki. Group Two... Ikari Yaoroshi... Juji Yusurube. Group Three... Rokuro Kiriyama... Kuina Sazanami. Groups Two and Three, you'll only have one ball between you. Sounds fun. Yup, a full-on brawl. That means at least three people are getting expelled. My head hurts. I might die. You'll all go in first. I'll enter 15 minutes later. If there's nothing else— Wait! There's no way I can team up with this masked weirdo! Then you're expelled. Seriously? Um... I'm Homare Byobugaura. I'll try my best not to get in your way, so... This guy has been a punk since he was a kid. Of course girls stayed away from him. And now, for the first time in years... a girl talked to him. I'll protect you! N-No, really. That's too much. I just want to stay out of the way. So humble. I-It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry someone like me even spoke to you! I'll just crawl into the dirt now! You made her cry? You bastard! Hey, don't cry! Come on, now! Don't ruin your cute face with tears! Actually, you even look cute when you cry. But your smile's even cuter! Please don't call me cute. Too freakin' cute! Let's work together and clear this thing, just the two of us. Tough luck, pal. You're done for right here! Do you have to talk to me every five seconds? You some kind of attention-seeker? Huh? If you're gonna get expelled anyway. Might as well quit now before you get wrecked. Screw that. I've got a goal, and I'm not giving it up! I bet it's something meaningless, anyway. Say what? That's enough. How many minutes do you plan on wasting? Group One, begin! Huh? U-Um... S-Sorry! I'm sorry for being so slow! Kill me if you want. If you succeed, you graduate instantly... and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. This is my chance! If I make it into the unit I want, I'll be able to see him again. You went from attention-seeker to clingy psycho, huh? I don't bother with small fights... but I'm all in if there's a big one! You called my goal meaningless, yeah? Take it back, you piece of crap! Well, yeah, there are only two balls, after all. So it's fine if we beat each other bloody for them, right? What the hell are those scars? Showing off your old wounds? Weaklings do that. Then if you lose to a weakling, what's that make you? Trash? Blood Eclipse Release. How are you pulling that off like it's nothing? Why can't you? If you're scared, you can run. If I back down now, it'll make my dad's death some pathetic, pointless tragedy! You came here to avenge your father? What if I did? I see. Then we'll never understand each other. Not like I ever expected us to get along. I can do that, too! Come on, work! Damn it! Why the hell won't it come out? Don't laugh, bastard! I'll kill you! This is pointless. If you're going to waste my time, at least pay for it. Damn it. How can he pull that off so easily? If I focus hard enough, if I shout it loud enough, it should work! Why is it he can do it and I can't? It pisses me off more than anything! Try to at least be a decent warm-up before I kill the teacher. Fine. Then I'll beat it out of you. This is my first step... toward getting stronger! Ichinose? Kougasaki? Where did you go? Wh-What was that sound? Someone like me doesn't belong here. A garbage girl like me shouldn't be in a place like this. But Ichinose said we'd work together! Why do I always rely on others? Okay. I'll just head toward that sound. What the hell was that? That scared me. My heart's about to explode. Am I dying? Sounds fun. Should we check it out? No way! It's not our turn yet! Damn it! This guy's tough! How can he control his blood? And the shape it takes when he uses it is totally different from mine. No, even different from the teacher's. Does it mean something? What does it even mean to "control blood" in the first place? I don't get it. Where are you looking? Crap! It's the first time I've ever felt this way. Not understanding something... hurts this damn much? Didn't even need to use my blood. Hold it, you bastard! Take a nap. Finally found you! That was way too close. U-Uh... That was dangerous, damn it! Apologize! Apologize? If you're scared of getting hurt, you should go home. Huh? If that weak attack scared you... you weren't going to last long anyway. You're seriously pissing me off. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's my fault you got hurt. I'm really, really sorry. Wait, wait! This was that jerk's fault! I'm so sorry. I'll just die to atone for it. Hey, you don't have to apologize that... that much. What the hell is that? We Oni have way more blood than regular people... But this... this is off. It's way too much. Both of you, please run. Otherwise... she'll kill you. Wasn't today just supposed to be school orientation? Principal. Giving them a life-or-death assignment on day one? Bold move. Training's more meaningful than wasting a whole day on explanations. You really do care. Everything you say is for their sake. You know, a lot of Oni die every year. Most of them are kids. Some are killed just because they're related to one. Some are taken alive and used as test subjects. They know nothing. They understand nothing. What should children who are suddenly killed one day... think about in their final moments? I just hope there's at least a fair and equal heaven waiting for them. I don't need to believe in heaven. If you're strong, you won't die. Simple as that. Still, you really are kind. Help them get strong. Crap, that was too close! Did that masked weirdo just die? Damn! It's way too big! Hey! Byobugaura! You can't stop that thing? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't... do anything. She's losing too much blood! First, I need to pull her away from that thing! It's protecting her? Does her blood have a will of its own? Please stop. Don't do this anymore. Sis! "Sis"? You two should run. What good is running? You'll bleed out and die right in front of us. I don't mind. Watching someone die before your eyes really sucks, you know. Besides, you've got that, "I'm barely hanging in there," face goin' on. I can't just leave you like that. What the hell is this? So that's Byobugaura's Blood Eclipse Release, huh? Let's see how those kids handle it. Come on, come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come out, already! Why won't it work? It's not going to. Last time was a one-in-a-hundred lucky shot. But that kind of luck, I'll give him credit for it. Whoa! Damn it! This isn't just weak. This is pathetic. I've never lost a fight before. Pops died, and here I am, still completely useless! I hate this. Being weak is so damn humiliating and frustrating! If you're gonna cry, do it somewhere else. Huh? I'm not crying! You're dead, mask boy! This is just sweat! Idiot! Look at me when I'm talkin' to you! Moron! That hit from earlier's still messing with me. But if I run now, that's the end of me! Creating two different weapon types at the same time, that takes serious control. He's got a clear edge in precision and experience. An Oni's blood can take any shape, any strength. The image a person holds is transmitted from the brain, traveling not only through nerves but also through the bloodstream, shaping itself accordingly. It's a signal from the brain. Some have their traumas reflected. Others reveal their preferences or tastes. For some, their experiences are imprinted. It's said that what an Oni creates with their blood can offer a glimpse into their life itself. Then, at some point, the act of creating one's own unique weapon from blood... came to be known as... Blood Eclipse Release! I'll take your head off! It protected itself! Damn it! Come on, come on! Just work, already! Make anything! Why is it he can do it and I can't? Huh? Wait a sec. Everything he makes is for cutting. And Byobugaura only formed that. Oh! What I made before... It's gonna puke more blood? This might be the limit. Crap. Quit yelling, already. Blood Eclipse Release! He figured it out? Now I'm ready to go! Crazy. Feels like this thing's part of my body! Over here! Brace yourself! How was that? Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

Over here! Brace yourself! How was that? What the hell was that firepower? He didn't just take down that titan. He changed the weather! Byobugaura, you okay? My body won't move. You're paralyzed, huh? You just discharged a ridiculous concentration of blood. You're pushing it. I bet even your vision's fading. Still... gonna... get up. Use too much blood, and, worst case, you die. You've got zero control and a long way to go. Still, that power seemed a bit too extreme. R-Right. Byobugaura. Check on her. I think she used too much blood. You can take care of me later. Just help her first. Of course I will. You're nearly dead yourself and still worrying about someone else? Why waste time worrying about them? They don't matter. In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight What if she needs emergency treatment? What, then? That's not my problem. Not your problem, huh? I prefer to treat all my students equally... but I really hate types like you. I wasn't trying to be liked. Just don't lie to me. If I kill you, I graduate... and I get into the squad I want, right? Yeah. Like I said before, I won't use my blood. So relax. Don't underestimate me! A half-baked blade like that won't cut it. This umbrella isn't just for show. A smoke bomb? A rigged umbrella! Don't worry. It's not poison. He's using the smoke to launch a surprise attack. But I'll cut him in half the moment he gets close to me. Since you're all about close combat, I'll keep my distance. They're rubber bullets, but you hurt your arm fighting the titan, and I bet they hurt bad. I go for the weak points. Even if you keep your distance, I've got more than one way to fight. Blood Eclipse Release. Blood Spray Bisection Dance! He even has a counter for long range? You're mine! A grenade? Crap! Another smoke screen! How many tricks does that thing have? Is he going to snipe at me from a distance again? Assuming someone will always attack from range will get you killed. And you were wide open because you keep favoring your right arm. Shut up. You really thought you could win while injured? Assess your opponent's strength. That's why this is happening. You've overused your blood. You probably don't have the strength left to break out of that umbrella. Th-That's insane. Damn it! If this were a real battle, you'd be dead. I'm not done yet! This isn't over! Desperate, huh? You really want to see your dad that badly? His dad? How do you know that? I looked into you, just a bit. I know plenty of things. Like how your father is a Momotaro. His dad's a Momotaro, too? What about it? But yeah. My old man's a Momotaro. That bastard took everything from me! My family... ...my aspiration! All of it! The scars all over my body are reminders carved into me by my father. Not once has the hatred faded. I clung to life and managed to survive off of scraps from garbage dumpsters. I live for one thing. To kill my father! With that driving me... I'm not afraid to die! Enough of that, brat. Don't get it twisted. I... swear... If you die chasing your goal, it's meaningless. Live for your goal. If you don't get that, you won't live to see tomorrow. Yeah, send the school nurse out here. Byobugaura is officially retired from the trial. Kougasaki, too. I've restrained him. That just leaves you. I can move again... sorta. You've got five minutes and 42 seconds left. Oh, yeah, one more thing. Found this on the way here. You're holding one of the balls? That's not fair! Either find the last one in five minutes and 30 seconds and reach the goal... or take this one from me. So he ran. Damn it! You? I'll help you, but you gotta work with me. What? There's no way I can take Mudano alone. I'll help you, so help me out. Not a chance! Being saved by you would be humiliating. What's more important, your pride or your goal? I'd team up with someone I hate if it helped me to reach mine. That's none of your business. It kinda is. My dad was a Momotaro, too. Not that it means anything... but we're not that different. So just lend me a hand! No. If he's not around here... did he turn back? Huh? Damn it! Damn it! That bastard! What the hell's his problem? Where are you rushing off to? Heading back to school, are you? Without a ball, it doesn't count. That damn idiot! I saved him, but I gotta be the decoy? What the hell? No. Why? I'm not gonna work with you. You work with me! Like he's in charge here. Make it count! So they teamed up, huh? But if they can't properly use their blood... That's the rope I used to tie up Kougasaki! Yeah! Pull him in! So we're testing endurance now. Pull harder, Kougasaki! Come on, come on, pull his ass in! More! More! You're so damn loud! If they were at full stamina, this might have worked. That was the last of it. I've got nothing left. This is it! I'm going for that ball! Just under three minutes left. If they sprint, one of them could make it back. If Kougasaki grabs the ball and runs, Shiki will likely chase him to try to steal it. And in that struggle, I'll take it back. Yeah! Grab it and just run to the goal! Go! Go! That's what I'm talkin' about! We got the ball from you, Sensei! If he scores with it like that, only Kougasaki will pass. Anyone who fails get expelled. I totally forgot! I got the ball and felt all accomplished! This idiot's lack of forethought was not part of the calculation. To put it nicely, he doesn't think about cost or benefit. He acts on whatever's right in front of him. A simple, honest type. Hey! Wait up! I can make it! If I keep running, I'll barely just make it! I'll help you, but you gotta work with me. Grab it and just run to the goal! He's coming back? What are you, terminally directionally challenged? Don't get the wrong idea! I just don't want to owe you anything, ever! I'd rather get expelled and finish my goal by myself! You're the one who's scoring! What's with this round little dude? Wait! That's Muku, our high-speed comms courier from Baku Express. We call him Mukkun. He delivers urgent messages quickly and without leaving a trace. If Mukkun's here, then there must be an emergency. This is the Kyoto Branch of the Oni Agency! We are under attack by the Momotaro Agency! Requesting immediate backup! Requesting immediate backup! They're taking forever. It's been over an hour. Did all three of them fail? Guess that means it's my turn next. I think I caught a fever from the rain. Hey! Oh, they're back? Hmm? Byobugaura isn't with them. She overused her blood and was sent to the infirmary. She'll be out of action for a few days. Hey! We just heard Kyoto's in trouble! Practical training is canceled. What the hell's going on? The Kyoto Branch of the Oni Agency sent an emergency request for backup. We're heading there immediately. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way Four hundred eleven... Four hundred twelve... Disappear! Disappear! Disappear! Disappear! Yes! I did it! Look! Look at this! Shut up. Everyone else can do that already. You're dead last. Wanna die? Bring it on, loser. No, you go ahead, jerk. - Make the first move. - Sensei. Are we seriously going to a place actively under attack by the Momotaro Agency? We have no choice. The other classes are all out doing fieldwork, including the other teachers. And you guys won't be fighting. You'll be doing support tasks. I can't do this. I'm not up for it. You won't be on the battlefield. Wait, what? We don't get to fight? We're just errand boys after all that? At least you're not getting expelled. Even support is an important role. I want battle experience, not busywork! Shut it, glasses! Then how about now? Don't quibble with me, four-eyes! - We really just support? - Glasses don't define me. That's right. My bad, four-eyes! - I won't add to the body count. - My glasses are off! Whatever. But seriously, why are we going dressed like this? The other uniforms stand out. From now on... act like normal students. What are you tryin' to say? Don't do anything that'll get you stopped by the cops. Mind your own business! You're worried about me? Not like I'm happy or anything, but... I smell something sacred in the air! Sensei. What is it, Kiriyama? What kind of support stuff are we doing? Too many people makes my heart pound. I'll explain now. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Am I dying? That's just seasickness. Each municipality has at least one Oni Agency unit stationed in it. Those units have two main responsibilities. First, the Battle Unit. They fight on the front lines when the Momotaro strike. Second, the Support Unit. They aid Oni who live among humans. They protect Oni who have no family or support and help with daily life issues. Since Oni can't visit ordinary doctors, they also provide physical and mental health care. During combat with the Momotaro, they're responsible for rescue and medical support as well. We're headed to help the Support Unit. The Support Unit? Even though this could be the perfect chance to get stronger. This sucks. And what if that guy's there? The Momotaro you're looking for isn't in Kyoto. Huh? Like the Oni Agency, the Momotaro Agency has regional branches. What kind of Momotaro is stationed in Kyoto? To put it simply... an insane one. ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 05v2 (480p) [FE7FFE9A] An Oni Base's really around here? If I remember right... this area's where Iryuda-dera Temple is. Correct. We're heading to the underground below Iryuda-dera. This place? It's just a regular restaurant. We've been expecting you. This way, please. Go on in. In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight Come in! Do you copy? Team three, respond! What happened? Say something! Team three... Would this be them? Probably? Maggots lining up and playing soldier, huh? It's hilarious when they try to act human. Honestly, Boss, you went way overboard again. Cleanup's gonna be a pain. I know, but isn't it just infuriating? When the cocky maggots swarm in? I wish we'd gotten a female Oni instead. The last one we used for research died on me. Females last longer. Better pain tolerance. Boss, your experiments are freakin' gross. I hate 'em. Especially that thing. Now, that's just rude. A blend of dog, monkey and pheasant. He's an Ugly. Ugly, yes, but also disgusting. You're terrible! He's a valuable specimen for experiments and research. He's a loyal Anti-Oni Biological Weapon. He only eats Oni. I know you're obsessed with experiments, but our job is to find and kill dangerous Oni. We're supposed to protect civilians. I know, I know. But can't the grunts deal with the small fry? Why are you even in the Momotaro Agency anyway? I just can't contain my curiosity. Oni blood is fascinating. The healing factor, the way it mutates when they go berserk, the weapons they make... It's all too good! Our only job is to kill dangerous Oni, yeah? Wipe them out before they lose control and hurt civilians. And if it weren't for the Agency, you wouldn't even be able to keep doing your creepy experiments. Maybe try actually contributing a little? If we can study Oni blood enough to control it ourselves, it'd be a real asset. And just imagine if we could turn that healing ability into a drug! That would make a fortune. Talk about a major contribution! Not that I care about money, of course. But don't we kinda have similar powers, too? What are you talking about? If our powers are similar, then it's more efficient to experiment on maggots we can kill freely. Yeah, I guess that's true. Vermin like them are only worth being research material. Well then, let's move on to the next spot. Just kidding! We were actually running low on child specimens. Lucky! If we're taking it back, I'll knock it out first. Crap! When I experiment, I wear disposable lab coats. I may be interested in Oni blood... but it's filthy stuff, y'know. Look what you did. You got blood on my uniform. Hey, little maggot. Are your parents nearby? I'd like to see their faces, but there are so many corpses here, I can't tell who's who. Can you point them out for me? Do you see... Mommy and Daddy here? No answer, huh? Okay, then. I'll just roll them all together, and you can try to find them in the pile. Our abilities let us fight using black bacteria from our bodies. Some make weapons, some launch spores. There are various ways to fight. But this one's always creeped me out. Controlling corpses with bacteria... Tsubakiri-senpai's method seriously gives me chills. Oh, shoot. I lost my research specimen. Oh well. I'll find another one later. Ugly, go ahead. Eat this big Oni dumpling and clean it all up. Let's get back to work, Yomogi. 'Kay. This is insane! The underground in Kyoto's like this? Some shops in the area have tunnels that connect to Iryuda-dera's underground. Huh! We're here. Below even Iryuda-dera. This is the Oni Agency's Kyoto base. It's like a mansion! And right under Iryuda-dera? Sensei! This way, please! Huh? After that, we need you over here, too! Okay, okay! No need to get snappy. Let's all stay calm, yeah? We don't have time for that kind of attitude! Oh? Huh? Danny? You're early! When'd you get here? You should've messaged me! I just arrived. No way! There's a cutie here! Is my hair okay? Stay in place! Quick, tell me your contact info! I can't with this flirty type. Harsh! But that doesn't get me down! Timing's everything, you know! Who's this flirty guy? This is Kyoya Oiranzaka... Commander of the Kyoto Base's Support Unit. Danny and I were classmates at Rasetsu Academy. Yay! Enough with the chatter. I'm heading to the front lines. Wait, already? Huh? You're going, too. Take me with you! I'm not helping a guy like this! Must be rough teaching these little wild ones! Good luck, Danny! You're free to make use of these wild ones however you like. Later. Doctor! Please come quickly! Hey! Huh? Are those students from Rasetsu? Hurry up and change! We need your help! What is this place? Most of these patients were injured in the current conflict. This one's a frontline soldier. He was just brought in. He's lost both arms and legs. His lungs have sustained extensive damage. At most, maybe three minutes left. It's okay, man! You're not dying! We won't let you! Hey! There's no way that guy's gonna make it! You can't just say stuff like that! You're kind. Shiki, is it? But I actually am kind of a big deal. Huh? There's a reason I hold this position, y'know. All right, then. Let's get you kids a real look at this kind of work! What a hassle! A sudden surge of low-level Oni Agency grunts, huh? Even the commander and vice-commander were killed! They're way too strong! Blood Eclipse Release. What's this? Rebirth's Deluge. Mudano's here! Mudano! It's Mudano! Oh my, Mudano! Long time no see! What are you doing in Kyoto? Still so rude. Launching an attack out of nowhere? Oh, well, these corpses make for nice shields. Scum. Did you know, Mudano? There's a place where the Kyoto Oni have been quietly gathering. If we wipe it out, don't you think the Oni problem here will basically vanish? No idea. Oh, really? If even you don't know, maybe it doesn't exist. Maybe I'll just go sightseeing and call it a day. Still, you don't think there might be something going on... at some big famous sightseeing spot? This guy's hunches aren't to be taken lightly. I've got the perfect sightseeing spot for you. Oh, yeah? Where is it? Hell. Why is that hooked up to him? Shouldn't you be giving it to the patient? Quiet! All right, sir. Do you want arms or legs? One mouth open means arms. Two means legs. Arms, huh? Got it. My... ...children... I want to... ...hold... ...them. I'll make sure you get to hold them. Gotta warn you though. This is gonna hurt like hell. So, hang in there, 'kay? My blood's not for combat, but it's real useful. It boosts an Oni's healing by several times over. All of you! Help hold him down! R-Right! The blood's draining fast! You there! Don't just stand around! Go get more blood! It's in the room next door! Right! What the... What is that? Cell regeneration has started. His hands and lungs are completely healed! Hey! Will his legs heal, too? With time and small doses, yeah. But if we push a large transfusion all at once, he'll develop antibodies. Once that happens, even if we transfuse more, regeneration won't work. His body just won't respond anymore. Sir, you'll likely be retired from the Battle Unit. But from now on, let's fight together in the Support Unit! We'll get you a sick pair of prosthetic legs... so you can run around with your kid again! Let's focus on rehab for now, yeah? Thank you! I don't know what else to say! All right, all right. This is the war between Oni and Momotaro. And that patient may very well be one of you in the future. I get why people want to go to the front lines. Seriously, I do. But remember this. Those who can face forward and fight on the front lines... can only do that because there's someone behind them keeping them safe. And the ones behind them... who are doing everything they can to save the injured. That's us. That's the Support Unit. That's my battlefield. Dude, you're awesome! I thought you were just a lame pretty boy, but you're a real man! Right? He's flashy as hell, but he got me all emotional! My stock's through the roof now! All right! I'll do anything! Bring it on! Actually, I've got something different I'd like you to handle, Shiki. Huh? Like what? I'd like you to look after Mei over there. Why? What's her deal? She was brought in yesterday. Apparently, she was attacked by the Momotaro. Her parents still haven't been found. You're surprisingly kind for how you look, Shiki. I'm counting on you. Sure. Yeah, I got this. All right! Pretty crazy, huh? A garden, underground like this! Kind of amazing, right? I'm Shiki. Your name's Mei, right? I bet your mom and dad like Ghibli, huh? Nothing, huh? So, now what? What am I supposed to do? Wanna go to Iryuda-dera? What's that? Oh! You talked! Wait, you don't know Iryuda-dera? It's totally in the textbooks! Didn't go to school. Oh, yeah? Maybe she's a troublemaker? Oh, wow! We've got a crowd. Looks like the Support Unit collected a ton of bodies during their patrol. At least 30 of them. That many were just left lying around? Wait! Papa! Mama! Mei... So, those are her parents. Papa! Mama! You never really get used to this. I'd rather not go to Hell. But Mudano, you're always such fun. Oh, that's right. I wonder. Did my present make it safely? Though accurately, it's not "make it"... but "delivered for me," right? By you all? What are you talking about? I left behind some Oni corpses laced with my bacteria. Made sure they were easy to find. I figured you guys would bring them in. Wouldn't want corpses just lying around, right? So, you've ended up bringing in corpses I can control whenever I want. Right to your own base. Papa... Mama... I'll carry the other bodies. Shiki, can you help? You might not want to, but... No. I'll do it. I wonder if they're there yet. I'll check. Papa! Hey! You're alive? What the hell? Don't choke your daughter! P-Papa... That's Tsubakiri's ability! Shiki! Cover Mei's eyes! Huh? Just do it! G-Got it! I'm sorry, Mei. We have to destroy the brain. Just taking off the head won't stop it. P-Papa... Papa! There was no other way to keep his face intact. I'm sorry, Mei. Tsubakiri, you total bastard! No way! Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 06v2 (480p) [B0AF786F] Oh, that's right. I wonder. Did my present make it safely? Though accurately, it's not "make it." But "delivered for me," right? By you all? What are you talking about? You've ended up bringing in corpses I can control whenever I want. Right to your own base. I wonder if they're there yet. I'll check. No way! The corpses that were brought in... Mama! Mama! Stop it! Mama! Don't... Mei... Mama! Mama! Stay away... Can't be helped. I'll have to do it again. Mama! In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight Wha... Hey! Stop! Tsubakiri... is controlling all of these corpses? Mama! Stop! It's me, Mei! Mama! - Mama! Stop! Stop, Mama! - Stay away from it! - Mama! - Shiki, I'll help you— Damn it, how am I this popular? Please let go of him! Let go of him! Mama! - Mama! - Shiki... Use this. Oh, a handgun! You still can't control your blood. Model guns are nothing compared to this! This one's the real deal! It's loaded with your blood-infused rounds. They hit way harder than normal bullets. Use it when it counts. Mama! Mama! Mei... Sorry. Just close your eyes for a sec. This is bad! Shiki... You okay? Yeah, thanks. Support Unit isn't supposed to be combat-ready. I'm putting you in charge of dealing with the mess in the main hall. I'll get the patients to safety. Got it! How could this be happening? Don't ask me! Am I gonna die here, you think? What the hell is going on? No matter how many times we hit them, they don't go down. What do we do? Headshots! Hit the head or it won't stop them! Blood Eclipse Release! So, that's what you meant. Next time, say it sooner, you idiot! Support Unit! Prioritize evacuating patients and minimizing secondary casualties! Damn! Killing corpses one more time... The absolute grossest thing I've ever had to do! Kiriyama and I will help with evacuation! Do it, don't announce it, glasses! Go! C'mere, you! Hah! These things just keep coming! What am I even doing? This one, too! And this one! This one, too! This one, too! And this one! And this one! And this one! Every one of them... must've been... important to someone! Get the patients to safety while Shiki and the others hold the line! - Got it! - Got it! I'm pumping these people... full of bullets. How do I even process that? I don't know... but it feels like I'm about to cry! Our enemy is... supposed to be Momotaro! Oni shish kebab! What's with the sad face? Shouldn't you be happy the maggots are dying off? Even the loner path has its limits. Hearing that from someone like you... what a boring line. Mudano! We'll back you up! No, you all return to the evac point. I'll deal with this. You're not going anywhere. Yomogi. Boss. Well done, Yomogi. Thanks. What's this supposed to be? As long as you're in there, we get to visit your hideout all we want. And if Yomogi doesn't grant permission, you can't leave. You probably thought I didn't even know the location, huh? I planted transmitters on every corpse I left behind. And all those pings started lighting up right in one very interesting spot. Under Iryuda-dera. Well then, I'll be on my way. Keep fighting the good fight if you're still alive! Wait! Yomogi. I grant entry to an Ugly. He's coming in! Damn it! That's a mass-produced type of Ugly. Even if he breaks, it's all okay. So... What the hell? That's disgusting! What's the creature doing? You all can have him. Everyone, get down! I thought the explosion would be more impressive. We'll have to work on that. Should we double-check? Nah. Too smoky, and I don't wanna get blood on me again. Right. Makes sense. Is it over? Looks like. Finally. We relocated the patients to another hall. Seriously, you guys being here helped a ton. Thanks. Mei. I'm sorry you had to go through that. You're safe now. Mei, I'm sorry. I had to put down your... It's okay. I've always lived in hiding. Never even went to school. I've been running all my life. Moving from place to place... always on the run... I've always... kind of... had a feeling. I always figured this day would come. So... don't worry about me. "Don't worry?" She just watched her parents get killed. And those are the words she chooses? When I was her age... I really admired superheroes. To vanquish evil and carry out justice! Superhero! Justice! Justice! Yeah! That's it! Go get 'em, Justice! Aren't Momotaro supposed to be the good guys? This is how the heroes from the fairy tales operate? If that's the case, then I'll be the villain! As a villain... I'll crush the so-called heroes! It's okay! I will... make a world where you can smile again! So, yeah. Don't worry. We need to gather the bodies of our fallen friends. I'll guide you to the cremation site and then start transporting them there. It's in the tunnel you guys went through. Bet you didn't notice it, huh? I wouldn't have even brought it up if this hadn't happened. By the way, you've got a girlfriend? This is way too heavy! That flashy guy's got us doing all the grunt work. Hey! Don't just stand there slacking off, glasses! I'm not slacking, and your anti-glasses bias is outrageous. Then what are you doing? Given that we got attacked, this place might not be safe, either. I was thinking I'd better be on guard. My ability is built for scouting. Blood Eclipse Release. "Where Art Thou?" Wh-What the hell is that? My blood can detect... living beings within a five-kilometer radius of wherever it lands. Quite useful. It can even confirm if they're Momotaro. Seriously? Though the heat signature sensitivity's too low... for me to be able to lock down appearance or power level. That's... What is it? Hello? It's me. I want you to send the location info here... to several Ugly units. Yeah. What am I planning? You could call it an exploration of Onigashima. For Oni extermination, you need a dog, a monkey and a pheasant, right? Oh, and send that Ugly I kept for a special occasion. Yep, thanks. Catch you later. Oh! One more thing. That one we talked about at the last Commanders meeting. Can't remember the name, but could you send me the file on that high-risk Oni? Just for reference. Yeah, that's the one. Thanks. If Mudano's already shown up, something might be going down. Senpai. What is it? It's really big. Like, acoustically speaking, this place is huge. No idea how many might be down there. Want me to toss in some poison gas? Not a bad idea. Senpai? Something wrong? Yeah, I'll go in myself after all. And let's make sure we ask every Oni for their name before we kill them. Why? If there's one named Shiki Ichinose... I want him captured alive, not dead. What's so special about him? Shiki Ichinose... He's a bit different. I absolutely... want to study him. Now then... what better way... to finish off this fairy tale... than with a flashy finale? Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice?

Mei. School's about to let out, so it's time to head home. Okay! Mama, I brought you this flower! Thank you! It's beautiful! Papa! Mama! Hurry, hurry! Don't run off like that! You'll trip over your own feet. Jeez! You're worrying too much! Papa! Mama! Papa... Mama... In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight So, that's the system. Let's go back and start carrying the bodies over. What's wrong? That's a crematorium, huh? You saw what happened earlier, right? Once a war starts, a lot of people end up there. There are people we can't save. That's why we have a crematorium. It's the kind of world you're about to step into. But as long as I'm around, I won't let you die that easily, so don't worry! Any other questions? Nah. Then, I've got a question of my own. Just tell me if you have a girlfriend or not! Hey, don't ignore me! I'm not giving up! C'mon, what type of girl do you like? Aw, you turned at the last second and made me miss your heart! Blood Eclipse Release! This enemy is dangerous! So... I have to take him down immediately! Tch! Kougasaki! Don't worry! It'll heal up in a bit! Oni blood's recovery rate is ridiculous, but... the pain dulls my thinking! We're both injured. Tactically speaking, this is the worst-case scenario! Kougasaki... Could you let Shiki and the others know Tsubakiri's here? Then guide the patients out and help get everyone clear. What about you? Well, I'll manage somehow. I'll bring back help! He's really kind. Are you done? Then let's move, Yomogi. Right. What is that? If making boxes like before is that Momotaro's ability... then is she forming a wall of bacteria? The enemy's inside with us. Meaning their plan is nobody gets out alive? I've sealed off just about the entire underground area of Iryuda-dera. There's no escape. Seriously... a femme fatale, huh? Beautiful but deadly. So, there are no escape routes down here... the only combat-capable people left are the students... and no hope of reinforcements from above. On top of that, the two people in front of me are hella strong. I'm gonna die, aren't I? I've got a question for you. Yeah? Do you know Shiki Ichinose? Shiki? Now I really have to stand my ground. Wolfsbane, a poisonous plant that causes respiratory failure and organ collapse. You're not trying to get away? Not that there's anywhere to run. Honestly, I'd love to run. But that's not really an option, is it? I see. Crap. Better harvest some blood. Oni blood sure is pretty, I'll give you that much. Damn it. If I have to go out, I wanted the hot woman to be the one to do it. Huh? He's dead already? I didn't bring a corpse with me, so might as well use his. Never mind. They're here. Yomogi, let them in. Okay. I grant you permission to enter. Did you bring what I asked? Filthy... Neatly remove it from the bag. Now then, prep's done. Hey! Momotaro's here! Where is everybody? Hey! Oh, it's just you. Why are there so few of you? Yusurube's enemy search detected Momotaro coming in, so they rushed to evacuate the patients to the surface. But then, all of a sudden... black mist sealed off all the routes! Thankfully, all the patients managed to escape safely... but we and several others didn't make it out in time. Including Mei. So, what now? We split up and look for a way out! There's nowhere to go. I checked every exit, and they were all blocked... by that black fog. Damn it! Where's that flashy guy? Wasn't he with you? He... That's so creepy! Wh-What is that thing? Damn it! If we get pinned down here, we'll all get wiped out! Got it! Mei! Stay with me! Wow, look at this place! They built all this underground? Put the coffin there. Kill everyone except Shiki Ichinose. Bring him back alive. Aren't you coming, Senpai? I'll wait here. Got thinking to do. I'm off, then. Let's go, you guys. Damn it! This outfit's hard as hell to move in! I've gotta do something. There's nothing decent here! I'm dying. All these outfits have way too much material! And what's this fabric? I'm done for. I'm gonna die! Finally, here's something! Shut up! You collapsed from stress! You're out of breath 'cause you were running! I'm gonna change into this, but if you peek, you really will be dead! Whoever this belongs to, it's way easier to move in! What do you mean to do? Set up an ambush, duh! No way out, so I guess it is what it is. Man... healthy people really are optimistic. I could never think that way. Even on the way to Kyoto, I saw posts online... like, "People are getting sick there." And I clicked on them! Damn it! Now I'm worried... I might get sick, too! Come to think of it, I have a headache. Crap! This kind of stress is seriously bad for my mental health! You're so annoying! Stop stressing out over nothing! Shit! Guess we've got no choice but to fight. No way! I can't fight when I'm this anxious! You have to do something! I can't handle it! Please! You seriously can't do anything alone? No, I can't! There's no way! Absolutely no way! You... Go hide in that closet over there. Huh? Is that really okay? I'm the only one you can count on, right? Huh? Y-Yeah. Then you don't have to do anything. You'd better hide now, then. I'll handle... every little thing. Bring it on then, little monster! I don't really get what's happening, but she said she'd handle it! This is fine, right? It's so dark in this closet! I'm starting to panic! Are you... Shiki Ichinose? It spoke? Shiki's that dumbass-looking guy, right? That's not me, moron! Then... die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I... I'm gonna die! Don't be so smug about breaking through a frickin' wall. Blood Eclipse Release! How about you stay with me until you die? What happened to that doctor? Hey, you mutant monstrosity... Before I was with the weak and helpless. But now it's one-on-one, so I don't need to hold back! Are you... Shiki Ichinose? Huh? Don't equate me with that loser! Damn it! Is there nowhere to hide? This way, Mei! My heart just stopped, didn't it? My heart totally stopped just now! Is my body okay? No aftereffects or anything? It's quiet. Why? Oh, I get it! Everything up to now was just a hallucination! Of course! There's no way things could have gone this crazy otherwise! I must've been seeing things... and dozed off in the closet! Phew, thank goodness! All right... once I'm out of here, I'm heading straight to a mental health clinic. Wait, wait, wait, wait! That shock just now might've messed up my heart! T-Time out, time out, time out, time out! My heart's still acting funny, so could you maybe just pretend you didn't see me? Can't? Can't? Yeah, I figured. I figured. It's not coming at me? Hey, over here! Hurry up. You ugly brute. Right here, right here. Bring that head of yours over. It's listening to her! Come on, look this way! How? There you go. Right there. There! Come on! Come on! Come on! What's wrong? Hey, stand up! Come on! Come on! Come on! What's with that girl? I'm scared! Hey! What're you dozing off for? I'm gonna squeeze every last drop out of you until you're empty, got that? Not nearly enough yet! Kuina Sazanami. Skill... "I LOVE!" If Kuina's blood coats an enemy past a certain limit, they fall under her spell and gradually lose the will to fight. They're reduced to a near-vegetative state. You're not even worth wringing dry! I-Incredible! She beat that monster all by herself! I told you. Just keep out of the way and let me handle it. People who know Kuina describe her this way... "A dependable, sisterly type." And it's true. She's tough and trustworthy... with plenty of admirers. But Kuina's close friends put it like this... "She's a girl who spoils you to a downright pathological degree." I made food, so eat. Open up! Time for your after-meal toothbrushing! She spoils them so completely... that the men reduced to useless husks are beyond counting. Forget work! There are tons of women out there. Step outside, and I'll kill you! I'll earn all the money, got it? Sooner or later, a guy in her care either wises up and stands on his own... or winds up a vegetable in an institution. Thank you so much. I'll remember this kindness for the rest of my life. Well, unless I get some kind of brain disorder, I guess. Quit fussing over it, idiot. A futon? I can wipe the floor with weaklings like these. Besides, the last time you fought, you nearly got yourself killed, remember? Huh? I'm lying on a futon? Whenever a guy in trouble leans on her, Kuina's devotion goes into overdrive. Yes. Kuina simply overdoes it. So, just stay put and sleep. By the time you wake up, everything'll be taken care of. Uh... Hey! You're looking pretty pale. No, um... You're a little close. I'll fix you something nutritious... so tell me what food you like. Uh, so, where's the kitchen? What is with this girl? She's offering to do everything for me. Kitchen, kitchen... Could this be... a trap? She'll use me as bait at some critical juncture, let the monster eat me, and escape while it's busy! I'm dead, absolutely dead! Hey, you're trembling! Got the chills? Want me to make you some ginger tea? It's back! I'm gonna die! Another one, huh? Hey, weakling! Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice?

Hey, stay hidden! I am! That arm is like a parasite worm. This one's different from the last guy. But don't you dare ruin my fun, jerk! I'm gonna wring every last drop out of you! It's trapped both my arms! This is bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! C-Come on, somebody do something! She'll be killed at this rate! What do I do? I have to help! Who? Me? No way! No way! No way! No way! I'll just get murdered! And in some horrible way! Someone will save her. If I go, it'll be pointless. Somebody's sure to... When did I... become this hopelessly timid?

Lulu. She was one year older. My very first crush. Lulu! Watch me! From here, I can fly, too! Here I go! In front of her, I was invincible. As long as she was around, I could be a hero or even a poet. Well? Pretty cool, right? Yeah. I can jump from even higher than that, easy! Lulu was always there... watching over me with kindness. I was born in a little backwater town. Lots of Oni lived hidden among the people. She was one of them. I loved dancing with her more than anything. I can still picture the sunset sky while we practiced our steps together. Not feeling well? I'm okay. Thank you, Rokuro. But the truth was, she was ill. For an Oni, the moment horns appear, the very chemistry of one's blood changes. Which meant she could no longer be taken to an ordinary human hospital. We went to see the town's only Oni doctor. I had another spell. It's fine! We'll beat this. You're going to get better! Mm-hmm. But calamity strikes without warning. The Momotaro Agency raided our village. They murdered the only Oni doctor. Lulu, hang in there. I'll go to another town and bring back a doctor! Trust me! There's nothing I can't do, right? You're... always so cool. So please stay just like that. She was my safe harbor. With her beside me, I could stay strong. With her beside me, I was invincible. After she was gone... the worries and dread I'd kept buried swallowed me whole. White hair spread. Insomnia gnawed at me. Before I knew it, I'd turned into a full-blown neurotic. Yeah, that's right. From that day on, I was no longer the same. Can't be helped. Because without her, I'm completely useless. You're always so cool. So please stay just like that. If Lulu could see me right now, she'd be so disappointed. She fought so hard for me. I can't stay like this. If I meet Lulu again in Heaven like this, I won't be able to hold my head high. Since she's been gone, I haven't been cool at all. So I've got to get strong enough to proudly say, "Lulu, from the bottom of my heart, I stayed an awesome guy even after you left." To do that, I've gotta rack up a whole lot more achievements, even if they're nothing but deeds from an unreliable hero! Scared. So scared. Terrified! Terrified! Terrified! My heart hurts so bad, I can't stand it. It's fine. It's fine! I can do this! Even if it isn't fine, I'll make it fine! I may look pretty pathetic now, but would you stay by my side? I really can't do this without you. Whoa. The panic is fading! Blood Eclipse Release! Frigid Ashes Dance! Mental Recovery! Now I dance! Ranbu! Dying Sakura Dance! Frigid Ashes Dance. He cloaks himself in a raiment of blood and begins to whirl. Turning that blood into a blizzard of razor-sharp petals, he raises a slicing wind at will. How's the bite of these "scattered blades"? Come on! Right now I'm invincible! My body feels light. All my anxiety is gone... just because you're here beside me. You're incredible. When I dance with you... a memory of the summer festival surfaces. I was never invincible at all. I only made myself look invincible. And I'm sure you noticed it. Yet even so... you still believed in me! Thought I was cool! Thought I was strong! You're so kind. Ranbu! Twin Festival Dance! If you still believe in me, then I don't care if it's only for show. I'll puff out my chest and say it loud! Well? How's that? See? I look pretty cool, don't I? Mei, the scary monsters are all gone now. You all right? Still scared? Papa and Mama are dead. Maybe it's okay if I die. Wanting to die, that's one answer, right? But don't you dare die! If you die, it means you and your mom and dad all lost. But if you keep living, smiling at the future, then nobody lost. Live! Live and fight! Fight? Yeah! Fight despair! And to do that, the very first thing you've gotta do is... cheer for me. Cheer... I'll fight, too! I'm going to smash the ones who stole your family! So when you feel like you want to live... shout from the bottom of your gut, "Give it everything!" for me. Stay right here. The monsters are down, and the bad guys won't find you so easily. But if something happens, hide like before, okay? Are you really going? It's impossible! You'll lose. There's no way... ...that I'll lose. My heart says it won't let me, and that's good enough. I won't give in to despair! That's my brand-new motto! Mudano! Mudano! Mudano! Mudano! Mudano's awake! How long was I out? About fifteen minutes, sir. Fifteen minutes, huh? We're sorry, sir. You got hurt shielding us. If it had been just you alone, this never would have happened. Forget it. Let's go. Hey! Where are you going in that condition? To Iryuda-dera Temple. My students are there. And you are... Hey, that uniform. You're a Momotaro, right? Kyoto's lead Momotaro, Tsubakiri, can manipulate corpses. You the one they call Tsubakiri? I'll ask once more. Who are you? Shiki Ichinose! The guy who's gonna crush every last Momotaro! Is that so? So you're Shiki Ichinose? That's right. I'm Tsubakiri. Knew it. Hey, how could you do something like that back there? Hmm? What's your problem? What kind of sicko desecrates corpses like that? I don't get it! How could anyone do that? Don't talk like you're human! Huh? Those are lines for the Momotaro, because we have human rights. What? Don't go thinking Oni have rights. Shut it, scum! I'll blow you away! Wait up. Going to see that flashy Oni's corpse? Corpse? My boss killed him. Are you mad about it? Camaraderie between Oni? Spare me. Nah, it's not about team spirit. I'm only interested in my own goal. Hmph. And yet, if looks could kill... That's 'cause I've got a Momotaro right in front of me. And I'm gonna waste every last one of you! And I'm gonna put down every single Oni! Blood Eclipse Release! The Seven Punishments! That strike felt different. Too bad, pal. A swing like that'll never cut me. Bring it. You've got to be kidding. Facing me with that toy? Shiki Ichinose, your blood's not that weak. Shut it. I don't even get what you're rambling about. Only thing that matters is I despise you! I've already decided. I'm throwing in everything I've got! I always figured this day would come. Don't make that face! You still can't control your blood. Shut up! So what? So what if I can't? I'm not gonna quit over that! This is more than I imagined. You dodged it, huh? Did I scare you? Oh, big words. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 09 (480p) [0DEEB1E0] That move wasn't half-bad. And it's made me even more interested. So I'll get serious now. A coffin? Eradicate... Oni. Destroy. Those clothes. Is he a Momotaro? In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight You sicko! You even turn your comrades' corpses into puppets? Are you out of your mind? You're an idiot, aren't you? Huh? Idiots never doubt that their own standard is the only right one. Back when that virus was spreading, there were fools who staged protests claiming it was "just a cold." Then there are the types who refuse all animal products and set livestock "free" on their own. Believing it yourself isn't idiotic, but the idiot is one who forces it on others. He willingly chose to become a puppet. Why is my body... so heavy? This is his ability. When the puppet is a Momotaro, I can borrow their power, too. He mixes bacteria into the oxygen around us and changes its weight. Oni. Eradicate... Oni. Destroy. This guy... Even I didn't see this coming. He's clung to that one line from when he was alive. Eradicate... Oni. Destroy. Whether it's grudge or obsession, that's pure Momotaro spirit! With that spirit, he can be my right-hand man. In death, he can settle his regrets! Can you withstand this weight? It's no use! What is this black wall? Did that Momotaro woman put it up? Maybe we should try another entrance. No. I'm afraid the wall doesn't stop here. All the entrances are probably sealed. But you could destroy it, right, Mudano? Iryuda-dera is above us, packed with tourists. Destroying the wall would likely cause major damage topside. You mean every tourist would have to be evacuated first? That's impossible, sir! Unlike the Momotaro Agency, we don't have any authority! Sensei! Yusurube? When I swept the area earlier, I got an Oni reading. Then the Momotaro barged in. All injured personnel are up top, but some of the Support Unit... Ichinose and Kougasaki included, are trapped inside. Understood. We're out of time. Shiki and the rest are in danger. What's our move? Either way, before we tear this wall down... our first priority is getting every tourist out of here. Uh, Mudano... Hmm? This girl was outside muttering weird stuff. Do you know her? I'm sorry. Someone like me coming to beautiful Kyoto... Please forgive me. So you showed up, Byobugaura. They told me to come help, so... Hey! You're Homare Byobugaura, right? I'm Juji Yusurube, 16! Nice to meet you! My dream? After a date in school uniforms, losing my virginity at my girlfriend's house! I mean, I'd ditch this V-card right now if I could! How 'bout it, huh? Me! Quit fooling around. Come on, this is serious! These are the wholesome hopes and dreams of a fine, upstanding student! I thought this kid was normal. Guess my eye still needs work. Byobugaura. For me... Yes! Sorry, but you turning up now doesn't really help us. Huh? Actually, there is one thing. A way to evacuate every civilian from Iryuda-dera without leaving a single person behind. Um, Sensei, wh-where are we? Yusurube, keep the line open. Roger that. But... what are we doing? We're going to set off a small quake. Huh? We'll trigger a landslide and force the tourists to evacuate. Right now, Byobugaura and I are on the back slope behind Amida Hall at Iryuda-dera. The slide will start right here. A landslide, sir? Isn't that dangerous? Nobody will get caught in it. A light quake won't budge the tourists. But a landslide will be enough to get them out. Once it starts, have everyone evacuate the visitors. With that many soldiers, everyone will sense the danger and clear out. Understood! After that, Yusurube, confirm the tourists are all gone. Do a recon sweep. But how are you going to trigger a landslide? Byobugaura, bring out that titan you summoned before. We'll cause a landslide using that. No way. I can't. I'd... It's fine. I'm here. I might cause more trouble, like before. I have no control over it. I— Then never mind. Yusurube, the plan's canceled. Huh? What should we do? Think of another way. If we delay any longer, the ones inside are in danger. As for you, Byobugaura... you're expelled. I don't need anyone I can't use. Um... I mean... I'm scared. Unleashing a savage titan I can't control... That would be terrifying for anyone! Being afraid isn't the problem. The problem is refusing to change. I know about the incident you caused in the past, too. Everyone's carrying some kind of burden. Even so, they came to Rasetsu Academy because they want to change something. Tell me, why did you come to Rasetsu? I came because I want to learn to control my own blood. Your blood is yours alone. We can't change that. So, Byobugaura, that means you're the one who has to change. I... I want to change! Sensei, what's the plan? We're back on. I knew it! Someone like me... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No, this is fine. Hey! It's an earthquake! Whoa, it's a big one! Hey! We've got a landslide! Everyone evacuate! - They say the slope's collapsing! - Oh, jeez! Get to safety, now! Evacuate! Run! Get far away! Sensei, everyone at Iryuda-dera has safely evacuated! You did well. I'm sorry I wasn't any help. You did good, too, kid. This one's darkness runs deep. But someone always comes along to pull you out of that darkness. That's what this school is for. Getting too close is dangerous. Better keep my distance until I know what I'm dealing with. Shoot! Damn it! Yes. At this point, you won't be able to leave without my permission. Problem solved. But here's also where it starts getting interesting. Walls closing in on me? Your body's gonna shrink a lot. Try to enjoy the experience until you're crushed flat. I'll bust my way out! Not gonna happen. Oni blood requires a lot of focus and mental strength, you know? No way you're getting out in that state. Feels just like the old days. Enclosed spaces naturally make your brain panic. And if it keeps getting tighter, even more so. Can't even use your blood power. You're pretty much guaranteed to get crushed. Huh? That sounded like a blade hitting something? Did he use his blood? Nah, no way. No one could stay sane with walls closing in like that. No way! I once slept in an air duct of an abandoned building. It was filthy, and the stench was brutal. Compared to that place... your box was a halfway-decent lodging. Brat. You thought you could kill me with that third-rate trash? Don't insult me. It only pisses me off! Let all this rage out! Back off. Don't give me orders! I'm already pissed off over here! I'm the one who's gonna take down that Momotaro! Momo... Momo... Peachy thighs. What's with that outfit? Flashing skin in a place like this? What's wrong with it? Think about time and place, dumbass! You just gonna flash skin wherever? Quit pissing me off! What will today's rage bring forth? Two brats? Not a problem. I'll kill you both together! Too slow! What was that speed? I thought he was gonna take my head off. Blood Eclipse Release! Devilish Hysteria! This technique uses anger as its source to generate various effects. Even Ikari can't predict what will come out. Its power varies based on the intensity of his rage. Usable only three times per day. So boots, huh? This one's a dud. The quality of my rage must have been off. Speed type, huh? Not a good match for me. Blood Eclipse Release. Rebirth's Deluge. Hey! Why the hell is it shaking? Quit shaking! I've tried to contain the damage to keep it from reaching Iryuda-dera, but the branch facility will likely collapse. The Kyoto base will be wiped out? Nothing is more important than a life. Rescuing your comrades comes first! It'll collapse any minute now. - Yes, sir! - Yes, sir! It's noisy outside. Hey! This place is gonna come crashing down on us? What the hell, seriously? Surrender quietly. Muda! You're here? We were just getting to the good part! Don't butt in! I already understand your ability. You sealed off Kyoto base and fought in battle, too. You should have no strength left. You can't run, either. "Run"? What are you talking about? You see how many Oni are right in front of me? There's no way I'm running. I'm a Momotaro. I exterminate Oni. I'll kill every last one of you right here. Guess I'll wrap this up. Got out! So it has limited coverage! Maybe I was a little too gentle with you. Don't you act smug... with me! That means nothing when I control gravity. Damn it! You can barely move now, huh? By the way, I can also do this. I can increase the weight of the oxygen in this space to a hundred times the normal amount. Picture a sphere and compress it. If I do that, it creates an oxygen sphere weighing several tons. Basically, it's like an iron wrecking ball. But this one's a little different. When a multi-ton oxygen sphere hits and compresses at the impact point, the shockwave will travel inward and crush your body from the inside with hundreds of Gs of force. Still, he's a total weakling. No way he's really Kishin's kid, right? Ki... shin? Huh? You don't know? Once called the most powerful Oni general in history. You carry the blood of Kishin. In other words... you're Kishin's child. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

So when you feel like you want to live... shout from the bottom of your gut, "Give it everything!" for me. I won't give in to despair! That's my brand-new motto! Shiki.

Thank you for your hard work. Thanks for your hard work! Starting today, I've been reassigned to HQ. I'm Hina Momota! It's a pleasure to meet you! It's such an honor to be working with the famous Samidare! You don't need to butter me up. I'm not! But, wow, HQ is amazing. Just how many powerful people are behind this place? Sorry, but I don't do teamwork. I work alone. What? But pairing up is part of the rules! Mr. Samidare! Um, do you know anything about the so-called "Children of Kishin" everyone's been talking about? I'm new and from the countryside, so I don't really get it. A long time ago, there was an Oni who nearly destroyed the Momotaro Agency. That Oni was called Kishin. They say Kishin impregnated many women, passing on his power to the children they bore. Huh? But isn't that kinda weird? If Kishin had that many kids and those kids had kids, wouldn't that mean Kishin's descendants are everywhere? To be precise, a "Child of Kishin" refers to a child who inherited Kishin's power. So that means some didn't inherit his power? Actually, most didn't. But strangely, we know that at certain points in time, Children of Kishin tend to be born. "Certain points?" It only happens when the Momotaro side is dominating the Oni. That's when kids with Kishin's power start popping out. When did you... Uh... um... I'm Captain Shinya Momoiwa, Unit 21! CAPTAIN SHINYA MOMOIWA, UNIT 21 You're a newbie, right? Remember that! Th-Thank you for your hard work! He seems kinda scary. Hey, rookie! You know why the war between the Momotaro and the Oni has been going on for thousands of years? Um... Spit it out, already, blockhead! Yikes. This guy's giving off major office bully vibes. The first Kishin appeared right when our ancestors were about to obliterate the Oni. Ever since then, every time we push the Oni to the brink, some new Kishin-powered brat shows up. That's why this damn war never ends! If it weren't for the Kishin showing up, the Oni would have been wiped out ages ago! And now those bastards have learned how to blend in and live among humans! Rookie! You get why it's a problem if Oni can hide among humans, right? I really don't like this guy. Such a smug jerk. Because it's the Momotaros' mission to protect humans from the Oni. And if humans found out about us or the Oni, that'd be bad, so if the Oni can blend in— Cut the crap! I'm talking about what comes after that, genius! I just wanna go back to the countryside. Sometimes in the fight against the Oni, people get caught in the crossfire! And when that happens, it's the politicians connected to us who clean up the mess! I mean, I guess that makes sense, but... And now those same politicians demand things like, "Make medicine out of Oni blood!" Always demanding more! If the Oni didn't pose as people, the goddamn politicos wouldn't be able to use us! No need to shout. I'm sure she understands. Um... Doesn't the fact that important people are helping mean they want to protect others, too? Are you stupid? Those politicians only lend a hand so they'll be the first ones protected when things go south! You really live in la-la land, huh? Rough break, huh? Even someone like you, Samidare, getting stuck with a rookie like this. Then again, even if he is one of the Children of Kishin, getting wrecked by that brat Shiki Ichinose and losing an arm, guess you had it coming. Maybe the higher-ups want you out of the field and put into training duty. A silent little nudge from above, right? How about you give up that seat, already? Whoa, this is getting messy. Anyway, I don't really care. I'm gonna rise through the ranks by killing one of those Children of Kishin. Shiki Ichinose is mine. Do whatever you want with the others. Is that revenge for your injury or just trying to settle an old score? Um, is Shiki Ichinose the only Child of Kishin? No, there's more than one. There have always been exactly eight Children of Kishin. And you're one of them. If that Kishin power wakes up, you're a problem. Naturally, that means you've gotta go. But rather than just kill you, wouldn't it be smarter to study you? That's why, starting today, you're my lab rat. You're coming in alive. Barely, if need be. Half-dead is fine. Shut the hell up! Oni healing is seriously impressive. I'm a bit jealous. It's something we Momotaro lack. Kishin or not, I don't give a damn! I'm not letting you get away with this! I'll make you pay for what you did! My head... Firing off that much high-density blood? You'll run dry fast. I can't move... can't even summon my gun. Damn it! If a Child of Kishin can't even use their blood, they're just another weakling. This place is falling apart, so let's wrap it up. You can barely move. So next... maybe I'll start by offing that brat over there. Not a single one of you will make it out. Is that... Huh? Mei! Run! Is that how you killed Papa and Mama, too? Hmm? Killed what, now? I don't really bother remembering maggot extermination. How could you? Papa and Mama didn't do anything. They were so kind. I mean, seeing Oni pretending to have familial love gives me goosebumps. Shut up, you piece of trash! Mei! You need to run! Now! Mei. Mei... Hmm... Oh! Your parents, weren't they that couple? The bald guy with a beard and his wife? Yeah, I remember. He did call out "Mei!" Man, that whole thing cracked me up. They were bawling for your life. "Please, just save our kid!" Pathetic. Rubbing their heads on the ground. That's why I let you go on purpose. They looked so relieved until I told them, and their faces just dropped. I told them, "After I kill you two, I'll do the same to your kid." Your precious little girl will run around scared and alone, then die. Picture it... the look on her face the moment she dies. Mei! Don't! She'll cry out for you, "Papa! Mama!" as she dies. And you won't even be able to hold her hand. Don't think an Oni gets to die a peaceful death! Mei! Don't cry! That's just what he wants! We'll beat him, then cry together! So... don't sit there crying all alone! You're crying, too, aren't you? I don't get how you can even cry. Shut up! It's because I've got a heart! The truth is, I wanted to look away from Mei's pain. Because I understand. I understand it too well. Hey, Mei, losing someone you love really hurts... doesn't it? It's because I have a heart... that I understand Mei's pain and her parents' regret. That's why these tears come out. If you can't understand that... then you're the real monsters! An Oni talking about hearts? Don't make me laugh! I'll crush that filthy little heart of yours! That's a fitting end for you! You just sit there and watch... as that rugrat gets smushed. Stop it! I still regret not being able to protect my old man then. I was weak in both body and heart. I thought I'd finally become strong enough to fight, but... You're so empty, you can't even use your precious blood anymore. I don't want to regret anything ever again. I know I've got nothing left. But still, I'm begging you! Give me... the strength to protect! Each Child of Kishin possesses a unique elemental attribute. Fire. Water. Lightning. Earth. Wind. Ice. Darkness. Light. A key trait of the Children of Kishin is that each inherits one of these eight attributes. Shiki Ichinose's attribute is fire. The flame-wielding Kishin... is called... Enki. What is this? This is Kishin's power? I don't get it, but I can still fight. With this, I can fight! Let's end this right here, right now, you bastard! I reject every part of you! So this is Enki. I can feel the pressure from him. But his body was almost dead moments ago. If I crush him before he recovers, there's no problem. He should be empty by now. If he can do this with just a little blood, he's way too dangerous! Damn. My whole body hurts. I can't control the blood or the flames. Even if his Kishin power has awakened, he's still badly wounded. Out of gas is out of gas. If you were at full strength, maybe things would've turned out differently! It'd be a problem if he goes berserk again. I have no choice. I'll bring him back as a corpse! Gravity... increase! Increase! That brat's a nuisance, too. You're nothing but vermin who can only crawl in the shadows! Your death is the only thing you're good for! Your parents died pathetically! And I'll kill you just the same! Shut up! What did Mei's family ever do to you? Mei and her family were just living quietly! Just because we're Oni, does that mean we're doomed to live such sad lives? Are we not even allowed to hope for happiness? Oni don't deserve happiness! You don't need some kind of right to be happy! Hey, aren't we allowed to be happy? Mei, you're allowed to live your life smiling! You can go wherever you want... see whatever sights you want to see! There's no such thing as a living being who isn't allowed to be happy. An Oni has no right to talk about ideals! I'll crush your future along with you using my ultimate attack! You're out of blood to make bullets with, aren't you? Mei, your life is going to be amazing from here on out. You're allowed to be happy! I'm rooting for your future! Oni have no future! It's okay, Mei. From now on, you'll meet so many people. And among them, someone will surely be there to cheer for your happiness. Papa. Mama. Give it everything! The flames just came back to life? Get crushed already! This can't be happening. Mei... Give it everything! Shiki, hang in there! You kept your promise. Thank you! No way. This is impossible. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

No way I could lose. Damn it. I underestimated him. I can't even feel the heat anymore. Manaka... I wanted to remain a researcher with the Momotaro Agency... because I had no interest in the deaths of others. The days of dissecting Oni passed monotonously... and every morning was peaceful. But then... Hey! You! Join my team! Manaka Momobe. I hated this man. He twisted people's lives without warning. I refuse. Despite what I'd said, the next day, I was reassigned to Manaka's unit. Orders from above are absolute. Manaka was bold and passionate, and he was deeply trusted by his comrades. He even had the compassion to offer prayers for the Oni he had killed. I couldn't comprehend it. Ever since my parents were killed by Oni when I was a child... I clearly felt something inside me lose its warmth. I didn't have a candle in my heart that burned for revenge. I even thought I'd become lighter, now that there was no one left I cared about. Both my parents were always tied up with work for the Momotaro Agency and were barely ever home. Even when they died, all I could think was, "Oh, I see." Welcome. My wife and daughter are my pride and joy! Ever since the day I told Manaka about my family... he took me to his house every day and made me eat dinner with his family. As Manaka dragged me along... my once straightforward life became more like a maze. People live and die. Life is meant to be a simple, straight path. But our relationships twist that path into a complicated maze. I thought it was suffocating... but for the first time in a long while, I actually tasted my food. Why even start a family when you're doing this kind of work? Don't you think they're a liability? What are you talking about? Having them fires me up, makes me swear to come back alive. Also quit smoking already! I refuse. The things you hold dear become your weakness. And that became reality. It happened when we raided a home where Oni lived. An Oni child was there. For a moment, Manaka saw his daughter in that child, and in that instant, the Oni escaped outside. The Oni fled into the city and went berserk, turning the surroundings into a sea of blood. Two of the victims were Manaka's wife and daughter... who just happened to be there while out shopping. Manaka killed the Oni... but couldn't shield his wife and child in time. They were slaughtered. I was wrong. Showing sympathy to an Oni was a mistake. If only I'd stayed cold and ruthless... my family wouldn't be dead! Oni must be annihilated on the spot. Even children must not be spared. I can't believe it's ending like this. Tsubakiri... use my corpse... And so I began controlling Manaka's body... and before I knew it, I had risen to captain. But it's okay. I haven't lost yet. Right, Manaka? This isn't the end yet, is it? I'll avenge you! As long as Oni exist in this world, you and I will keep fighting together! I won. Amazing. Mei! It's dangerous here, too. We need to run! Let's head for an exit. Shiki! Mister! Mister! Mudano... what should we do here? She's shut herself in. There are too many of them, and Mudano's a pain to deal with. She doesn't even have the strength left to keep sealing off the base. Let's leave her. Are you sure? A collapse is imminent. Our top priority is rescuing those inside. Let's move. You! Yo. You're alive? Got my carotid artery cut, almost died. Drank some of my own blood and came back to life, pretty much. Honestly, it was just luck I came back. I snuck over here to get treatment. The others are getting ready to evacuate. Pathetic. Yeah, I think so, too. Before we wrap this up... what did you think of Shiki Ichinose's Kishin power? It was incredible. But to me, it looked like he was burning his very life away. Hey! What is this "Kishin power"? I'll explain later. First, let's just get out of here. Boss... why'd you go and die? You can't just die like that. I mean, Boss... your daughter was just born, wasn't she? No one really knows why Tsubakiri started a family... but there's no doubt Manaka's influence played a part. A weirdo. Creepy. More than a few people called Tsubakiri names like that. But he stayed true to his way of life. A man who... through meeting another... came to fully embody the Momotaro spirit. Tsubakiri Momomiya... dead at 31. Where am I? Oh, you're awake. The pretty-boy doc! We rented out an inn that's run by Oni. It's past 5 a.m. now. The other students are resting in their rooms. Professor Mudano... You really took down Tsubakiri, huh? I see. I won. But Mei's mom and dad aren't coming back, huh? That's right. We lost too much to celebrate anything. Even so, we've got to face forward. For now... let's just be glad that we made it to morning. Later! Next time, let's do something normal, like sightseeing! For real! Come visit! I'm taking Mei in, so drop by every now and then! Hey, we're taking off. Did you go pee? I'm fine. Mr. Shiki! Thank you! See you! See you! The Oni Agency is mainly divided into three units, Battle Unit, Medical Unit, and Reconnaissance Unit. There are finer distinctions, but after graduation, you'll join one of these groups, whichever best matches your blood's characteristics. If you're not motivated, you can leave. Also, Shiki, quiet down. That's it for class today. During homeroom, you'll be deciding your dorm pairings. Room assignments? It's a full boarding setup, two per room. Hurry up and pick your partners. What is this, like a school trip? That's awesome! Living with someone else? Spare me. Excuse me, Professor Mudano! There's going to be one left over! The odd man out will room with me. So basically, one of us is getting sent to jail! No way! I'd rather die! You're an idiot, so you room with him! I don't even get a say in this. If I room with the teacher, he might save me when it counts. I'm rooming with this guy. What? What does that mean? Wait, is that how it is with them? Don't talk to me, trash. I'll kill you! No, I'm just... I really thought you were one of us. One of what? Nope. Boys and girls will be split up. Then who's gonna look after this guy? What do you mean, "look after"? First I wake him up, then have XXX, feed him, brush his teeth, dress him, pack lunch, wipe his butt, then XXX before heading out, prep dinner after we're home, take a bath together, feed him dinner, brush his teeth, have XXX again, and then put him to bed. I don't know if I'm jealous or just pissed off. Oh? We've got something in common, then. Don't get cocky, got it? So how far did you two go? Like hell it's okay for a guy and girl to share a room! That kinda stuff's for after you turn 20. You dumbasses. Spouting common sense with a filthy mouth. That guy's 100% still a virgin. I mean, me, too, though. Gotta be. Me, too, though. Byobugaura! Talk some sense into Sazanami! Otherwise, Kiriyama's gonna have all the fun! Uh... um... I'm sorry. If I'm gone, the numbers will even out, right? I'm sorry I didn't think of it sooner. I'll stay outside. What? Why? I'll sleep outside. Uh, could I at least get a cardboard box? This hurts my soul! Kougasaki! You're bunking with the teacher! Case closed! I'm fine on my own. - Huh? - Huh? That guy can't read the room! It's not, "I'm fine alone." It's, "I prefer to be alone!" Bet he sings English pop at karaoke. Fine, how about you and me room together? Wait, what about me? You're leaving me out? Screw you! I hate being with other people! You're just as bad at reading the room. Are you dumb? Did I just get left out? Uh... um... If it's okay, would you room with me? Sazanami kinda scares me. Why the hell are boys and girls split up? He can't do anything without me! Kiriyama... you know what ticks me off most? Getting pitied by some normie. What's the plan? Gonna grace us non-normies with daily updates on your XXX life? Slowly chipping away at our mental health, huh? I'm definitely gonna die alone like this. Relax. You've got me, don't you? Normies. This is going nowhere. Why don't you just pair up with the teacher? No way! I wanna talk about crushes and stuff before bed, too! No one's gonna do that. Couldn't go in middle school, 'cause I was suspended. Then got expelled before I could start high school. So I've always wanted to go on a school trip. You went to high school, Shiki? Huh? You didn't? My power awakened early, so I never got to go. Must be nice. I didn't go, either, and never wanted to. I didn't realize. Everyone here's been through some stuff. Enough stalling. Hurry up and decide. The girls are already paired. Guess we'll settle this with good ol' rock-paper-scissors. A rock-paper-scissors remix where you split up by what you throw. One, two... Three! No! It's fine. If I'm stuck with the teacher, that just means no more solo time. Guess it's eco-friendly. Less tissue waste. Yes! Prison sentence avoided! This sucks! Rooming with that guy is zero fun! Why? Why'd I go with rock? Shiki is the heir to the Kishin's power. He's Kishin's Child. So what if you're Kishin's kid? Don't let it go to your head. Huh? Why's he so combative all the time? What happened? Forget it. That's obviously not gonna fly. Let us share a room. Wonder how Mei's doing? She's probably doing her best... believing she can change her future and be happy. For the sake of future hope, she decided to live in the present with everything she's got. I will, too. Even I can fight for my future starting now. This is my chance. If I take down Ichinose, the one who defeated Tsubakiri, my value will skyrocket. And it could be the perfect opportunity to drag Samidare down with him for letting Ichinose escape. Hey, we're moving out, too. Are you sure about this? Pretty sure this is outside our jurisdiction. Doesn't matter. As long as we get results, no one's gonna complain. I'm gonna take Shiki Ichinose's head. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain, I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 12v2 (480p) [65239F2B] I never imagined this would happen. In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight Wasn't today's class way too hellish again? Professor Muda is seriously an ogre. He's a real ogre! What's with him? He got sick of your grumbling! At least give us some peace and quiet when we're taking a bath. Whatever. The moment is over, so I'm not going to break in with, "Yeah, Professor Mudano is a real Oni." Thanks, man! I appreciate that! I felt sorry for you, being left hanging like that. I know Sazanami is right outside. Want some milk, Rokuro? Let me blow-dry your hair! I'll clean your ears! I'm scared! Braggart! I know, right? I'm not bragging! Rokuro! Hey! Get your ass out here! Rokuro! Hey, get the hell outta here! This ain't mixed bathing! I've got no interest in seeing your nude bodies! - That's not the point! Hey! - Out of my way! Hey, Rokuro! Do something! B-Bath with a girl? We're going to do an evacuation drill. You have ten minutes to assemble in the gym. Evacuation drill? So this is where the gym is. You're late. I was taking a bath. Can you blame me? And I thought classes were over for today. We're putting the storm to good use. Would you prefer training outdoors instead? Nope! Love me an evacuation drill! This rain is crazy. Feels like the roof's gonna fly off. What kind of place do you think this is? Rasetsu Academy isn't so poorly built, it'll buckle from a little storm. This isn't just about learning how to respond during disasters. If you can't act quickly as a team in an emergency, you're useless to any unit. That's what this training is for. Everything you'll need has been provided. Everyone is to remain in the gym until further notice. I'll be patrolling the campus. You guys go ahead and have dinner first. Lame. It's just a drill. So we just stay here? Weirdly warm in here. So we're on standby, but what are we supposed to do, exactly? What if this is a trap or something? Totally possible! Is that... - Huh? - Huh? A pot? If we open it... boom! What? When you don't have bomb disposal gear, it's best to stay back and just shoot it. Knock it off, dumbass! P-Please, just don't blow up the food! Kidding! I was just kidding! Are you that stupid? Don't go calling me stupid, stupid! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to think of you as an idiot, Ichinose! Somehow that hurts even more. Seriously, it's just idiots all the way down. If you guys keep screwing around, Rokuro's gonna starve. Huh? Me? Sit tight over there. I'll take care of everything. Oh, it's just curry. Good thing... ...some idiot didn't blow up the food. Huh? I wasn't the one acting all suspicious. It was you, right, Kougasaki? Not really. You gave it that shady look and muttered, "Is that..." didn't you? Be honest! I just guessed it'd be curry. What, you're just really into curry? Hey, does anybody want this? Shiki Ichinose. Born February 4th. Favorite food: meat. Hates any food that's green. Just your average boy in Japan. Picky eating isn't good for you, you know. I don't even get vegetables. Homare Byobugaura. Born February 14th. Favorite food: stir-fried bean sprouts. However, not so much that she wants leftovers from a guy. Fine. Guess I'll just drown it in curry and eat it. No fair! Huh? If you want more, eat what you have first! There's still plenty left. All right! I'm ready for another heaping helping! Jin Kougasaki. Born September 17th. Hates spicy food. But he will never admit that fact to anyone. Hey, we're about to run out here! Must be nice having strong stomachs. Want me to go get you seconds? Uh, I'm good. If I eat too much, I get kinda nauseous. But... they even have pudding? This is the best. Oh? So you like pudding? It's my absolute favorite. Absolute favorite. So you like it that much? Who do you love more, me or the pudding? Your favorite, huh? H-Hold on! Stop shaking me! I'm getting sick! Rokuro Kiriyama. Born June 6th. Favorite food: pudding. Suffers from extreme anxiety and gets sick really easily. Kuina Sazanami. Born August 21st. Favorite type: hopeless guys. Her current fixation: Rokuro Kiriyama. I'll make you a whole bucket of pudding! Huh? That actually sounds kinda nice. Right? I'm your number one, aren't I? Wait, no, I didn't mean it like— Whatever! For today, just eat my pudding, too! Man, that curry hit the spot! I'm totally stuffed. Same here. I even got an extra-large second helping of bean sprouts. Wait, did someone forget to take a pudding? I had one! I ate mine! Me, too! And I... Sazanami gave me hers, so I ate that one, too. If there's an extra, can we give it to her? Don't worry about it! Just eat another one, already! Nah, three puddings is a bit much. If you don't want it, then I don't want it, either. So what should we do with this leftover pudding? Dibs! If nobody wants it, I'm taking it! Huh? What, you still hungry, Kougasaki? Yeah, I guess. Then say so, man. Here, take the last of the curry. I'll let you have it. Don't hold back. We're roommates, after all. I'll kill you. All clear. Is this an emergency? Naito, thanks for doing the rounds. Principal? Seems the storm's messing with the signal. My phone's out of range, so I had to ask Mukkun. But honestly, even after walking around, I haven't seen anything suspicious, you know? I figured as much. Still, since this is a drill, I'm following protocol. You should just enjoy this chance and have some fun with the students. I'll check in on them later. You're so stiff. I mean, maybe they'll relax more without a teacher breathing down their necks. I hope that bunch can start to get along. After all, it's having comrades that makes an Oni truly strong. That's easier said than done. Each of them carries their own burden. That's why they came to this academy in the first place. Sure, they gripe about everything... but none of them have the luxury of just hanging out with friends right now. Yeah, you're right about that. Well, maybe I can help things along. You're seriously annoying. You're the one being annoying! If you wanted the pudding so bad, you should've just said so. Jeez. Idiot! I'll make that smirk widen from ear to ear! Blood Eclipse Release! This just got fun. Blood Eclipse Release! Get him! Die! What are you doing? I see. You were risking your lives over pudding. No. I was just trying to off this guy because he pissed me off. That's no excuse for activating Blood Eclipse Release! I was just defending myself! I'm innocent! I don't care that you didn't leave any for me, but... I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I ate all the bean sprouts! I'm just a gluttonous piece of trash! I'm sorry! Wait, was that food not just for us? Then he should have said that from the start. First come, first served, right? Raise your head, Byobugaura. It's true. I never said any of it was for me. But all of you will remain here until morning. Fighting and damaging the facility is strictly forbidden. Anyone who leaves this place without permission is expelled. The professor took the pudding. What's wrong? He forgot to take a spoon. Should we go give it to him? Don't. Just don't. You step out of here, you're expelled. We've eaten. It's time for us youngsters to get some sleep. You sound like a kindergartener. Hey, since we're all stuck here, let's tell love stories! Love talk! You're still on about that? Only if it's about Rokuro. Huh? Is this some kind of torture? Aw, come on! You guys are no fun! Hey, Kougasaki! You, too! Get over here! What happened to team spirit, huh? Don't bother with me. Tch! Fine, let's play cards or something. So basically, you just want to hang out with everyone. I'm sleeping with Rokuro, so don't bother us. Uh, um, I don't think that's a great idea! And that's exactly the problem. I've been wondering ever since this drill started. We're spending the night with the girls, right? Huh? Yeah, we're just gonna talk and sleep. What's your point? Juji Yusurube. Born March 19th. It's not like I'm thinking impure thoughts or anything! But if this were a story, something's supposed to happen! In a setup like this, something should happen, don't you think? If you're red-blooded lads, you'll know where I'm coming from! He's just a pervert. Sorry, but I don't get you at all. What? Um... wouldn't it be better if we slept separately? You know, boys and girls? Don't be shy, Rokuro. We'll sleep after we xxxx. Are you stupid? Of course that's not okay! Ikari Yaoroshi. Born November 11th. No tolerance for dirty jokes. Believes dating should only start after age 20. Girls, behind this curtain! Dudes, go over there! This is exciting, isn't it? So what kind of fun can you even have with just the guys? It's kinda like a school trip, though, right? A school trip, huh? It's been a long time since I've felt safe enough to sleep like this. Hey! Don't crash on me yet! If a bunch of guys are hanging out like this, it's ghost story time. G-Ghost stories? Those are kinda played out, right? I'm fine with it. I'm in. This will be easier if we limit it to some theme. Like, how about high school girls? This is a story that actually happened at a girls high school near my family home. One day after school, the head of the brass band was alone in the music room. Oh, by the way, this band captain looked like the very picture of grace and good conduct. But behind that elegant exterior, she secretly had an unusually strong curiosity about... I don't mind. That internal conflict only made her more mysteriously alluring... That's a pretty sudden development. Right? It surprised me, too, but the Kyoto base is completely tied up with rebuilding for a while. I tried to call you right away, Danny, but the call wouldn't go through. I seriously thought you'd blocked me and almost cried. You really think I'd do something like that? What? You being all sweet suddenly just throws me off. I didn't call to chitchat. I'm hanging up. Come on, tell me about the kids, especially Shiki. Are you being too hard on them? They're not calling you an ogre or anything, right? I'm holding back, enough that no one dies. There's no problem. See, it's that kind of wording that makes people misunderstand you. Still, I think those kids understand your kindness in their own way. After all, they've experienced real fear before. This is something that's been happening to me. Ever since we got back from Kyoto, I've had trouble sleeping. Even in bed, I feel like someone's watching me. That's just Sazanami. Obviously. Oh, it's just about a person, not a ghost. Okay then, my turn. As you all know, I share a dorm room with Professor Mudano. But the thing is, he's hardly ever in the room. I end up alone most of the time. All right! Should have enough time for a sub-boss battle! But I swear, every time, those footsteps come like clockwork. The terror... Oh, it's just Muda. That's not scary at all! All right, my turn. Mine's the real deal, a story where people have actually died. I-I can't wait! I had this friend who was really into bikes. He used to tear up this mountain pass, and there was this one curve with a bad reputation. They say at night, you can hear a woman's voice there, and that, no matter what, you must never turn around. Maybe the battery ran out? That timing was a little too perfect. Someone just screamed like a total coward. Wh-Who was that? So lame. So the rumor is true. What rumor? They say ghost stories attract ghosts. Cut it out! If you say that, a ghost really will... Seriously? So ghosts really do exist. First time I ever seen one! I'm gonna nab it! Ghosts are really strong, huh? Let go of me, you morons! Let go! - I'm sorry! I'm sorry! - Shut up! What the hell are you doing? Nope, nope, nope! I can handle anything, but not ghosts! Huh? Don't you think that was a bit much? Come on, I just meant to spook them a little. I had no idea this kid was that afraid of ghosts. He didn't lose control exactly, but yeah, still got a long way to go on power regulation. Well... let's just tell the kids they had a weird dream. After all, everyone's got a secret or two. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain, I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way I feel like I had a really awful dream. Same here. Maybe it was the storm. All right, you lot. Your next field exercise has been decided. - Huh? - Oh? We're going somewhere again? Yeah. Your next destination is... Tokyo. ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 13 (480p) [30D8D09A] Come on! Out of all Tokyo, we're in Hikarigaoka? That's practically like Saitama! If it were Shinjuku or something, I could at least wander around and shop! Hey. Did you come here to mess around? I came here to learn. And don't mock Hikarigaoka. Or Saitama. Sorry. But still, isn't it okay to have a little fun, Professor Muda? Use the alias. Professor Kondo. After the Kyoto incident, disguises and aliases are a must. Tch. What a loser. S-Sorry. You holding up okay? Ah, yeah. I'm good. Am I the only one not in disguise? We're heading straight to the hotel. Be ready. Tomorrow morning, we're hitting the tours hard. Also, Natsu... after the tour tomorrow, go here for a blood draw. Blood draw? Why? We need to analyze your blood. Thanks to Kyoto, all our plans are screwed. What a completely illogical schedule. Hurry up! Such a pain. Huh? I wanna eat that! We're just heading to the hotel, anyway. A little detour won't hurt. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Whoa! Festivals are the best! Oh! A shooting gallery! Sis, I can't get it! The target for the top prize is way too tiny! Hey, little guy... I'll win it for you. You think you can? No way, dude. Just watch! Huh? Whoa, awesome! Yay! W-Wait a second! Wow! Oh, man! They cleaned me out! I think these toys want to go home with you. Really? Will you take good care of them? Yeah, thank you! Here, you can have mine, too. The other one's better. What'd you just say? But thanks, anyway! That's it. I'm closing up early today. Thanks, mister! Get home safe, you two! Here. Oh, nice! Thanks. That hits the spot! Nothing says "festival" like ramune! Thanks to you, I had a great run out there. You were badass, too. You into guns and stuff? Big time. I even get mesmerized by how slick reload animations look in games. Right? Modern games go crazy on that detail. Totally get it! You watch that streamer Mech Osaka, right? He's great, but I'm more into this channel called GunMania46. You're the first person I've met who knows about that one! We're totally on the same wavelength, uh... Ah, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mikado. On paper, it looks like "Gate of God." What about you? I'm Shik— Uh... Use the alias. I'm Natsu! Natsu, like "summer," huh? Were you born in August? Nah, February. Your parents must have a really unique sense of naming. Mind if I just call you by name? We're probably the same age, right? Yeah. I'm 19. Seriously? You're older than me? In the grand scheme of things, we're both still teens. Man, mature much? So are you a college student or something? Nope. I'm a police officer. A cop? Seriously? I'm not great with cops. Why the hell would you wanna become one? Hmm. I guess I just wanted to protect people from bad guys? Huh. That's actually kinda noble. Thanks, but yeah. It comes with a lot of headaches. Check that guy out. Dude looks shady as hell. Yeah, kind of intimidating at first glance. But earlier, I saw him give the goldfish he caught at the festival to a kid with a big smile. - No way. He's actually a good guy? - Where were you? Exactly! That's the point. I want to decide for myself whether someone's good or bad. Always by the law, of course. That's fair, honestly. But my boss is the total opposite. Super ambitious and arrests people left and right. He's not wrong per se. It's just a difference in values. So that's how it is. Kinda reminds me of my homeroom teacher. Sounds like you've got it tough, too, Natsu. But still, Mikado, you're your own person. It'd be a damn shame to let anyone, boss or not, make you change your views. I vote for sticking to who you are! Yeah, you're right. You're pretty impressive, Natsu. Huh? You've shown me that greatness doesn't depend on age. Come on, don't get all mushy on me. Oops, I'd better get going before I get chewed out. Before that, mind giving me your contact info? Let's hang out properly next time. Sure, why not? Though I don't actually live around here. Oh, yeah? Where do you live then? Uh, up north somewhere? You're a real piece of work. Oh, right! After the tour tomorrow, go here for a blood draw. I'm free tomorrow evening. Then let's go somewhere. Okay. All right, saved! Hmm? Anyway, thanks! I had a great time. You got it, public servant! Go serve with pride! Room assignments are the same as in the dorms. Nobody goes outside until tomorrow's practical training. Seriously? We come all the way to Tokyo, and we're eating bentos? What if Rokuro's nutrition gets all out of whack? I mean, I'm fine with whatever. As long as it's food, who cares. So, what are we doing about that idiot? I'm going to go reel him in. I had to get you guys settled in first. Little bastard makes me waste my damn time. Same room pairings as the dorms. This could be my shot! Sorry I'm late. Where the hell have you been wandering off to? I got a little lost. What do you think we're dressed as cops for? We're out here looking for Shiki Ichinose! You're in the perfect getup for asking around, and you're out here slacking? Start acting like a vice captain, idiot! Understood. I'll be more careful. Let's go. Guess I had that coming. I did screw up. Still, though... That cop was actually kinda cool. That guy... That guy... I think we'll be good friends. First stop is the Reconnaissance Unit here in Nerima. We'll hear them out. Uh, it's a used bookstore. Just get in there. Don't go wandering off like somebody did. Dumbass, dumbass. I'll take this. Would you like it gift-wrapped? I'm good. Ah, you're Mudano's group. We got word as soon as you entered Nerima. Please keep browsing while I talk. We don't want to draw suspicion from passersby. I thought it'd be all high-tech like in Kyoto. Kyoto is a special case. It has a long history and covers a huge area. Here in Nerima, most of our people are out on reconnaissance. This much space is plenty. Of course, the Nerima branch keeps the critical intel and facilities hidden underground. Oh, nice! So Nerima's got the good stuff, too? We get to check it out today? Sorry, but that's not happening. Aw, come on. I'm Kaoru Namikido, Recon Unit. To put it simply, anyone joining the Oni Agency is generally assigned to one of three units: Combat Unit, Medical Unit, or Recon Unit. Yeah, I've heard of that! I'm totally gonna be in the Combat Unit! Quiet down and keep pretending to browse. Feel free to ask questions anytime, though. The Combat Unit engages the Momotaro Agency directly on the front lines. That one's totally me. The Medical Unit doesn't just treat battlefield injuries. They also provide care for Oni living in hiding. If possible, I'd like to do something that helps people. The Recon Unit specializes in stealth. We gather intel, track targets, and sometimes even make direct contact... without ever being noticed. Yeah, that feels like my lane. Whichever unit Rokuro ends up in, I'll go with that. Honestly, I don't feel cut out for any of them. Um, may I ask something? Go ahead. We're hearing a lot of stuff today. Should we be taking notes? Let me ask you something instead. Would you be able to take notes in front of an enemy? Of course keeping records is important. But us recon types mainly store intel right here. Especially if it's life-or-death info. Earlier, I said I wouldn't show you the Nerima safehouse. By now, I'm sure you know why. If any of you were captured and tortured by the Momotaro Agency, that could be a big problem. Even if they tortured me, I wouldn't say a damn word! That's admirable. But the Momotaro aren't that soft. You do know the Momotaro have abilities just like the Oni, right? U-Um, does that mean some of them can read people's minds or something? It's not out of the question. Some Momotaro have unique powers, and even within their own ranks, the details are kept secret. But if information did fall into their hands... That's why intel is everything. Natsu, if you look that paranoid, people are going to notice. Just act natural. For real? Natural. Be natural. Natural. Hey, get back here, damn it! Quit drawing attention to yourself. But come on. Like I said earlier, most security cameras in the city are linked to the Momotaro Agency. If you use your blood, the system detects it and alerts the local Momotaro instantly. I figured as much. But yeah, we're always being watched. My stomach's starting to hurt. Wait, just being seen by a camera isn't enough to give us away, right? Yeah. No need to panic over nothing. There are plenty of Oni quietly living among everyday people like this. And it's part of the Oni Agency's duty to support them. Anyway, we're short on time. Let's move. Next is a tour of the hospital run by the Medical Unit. After that, we'll visit the combat facility. You'll be doing some hands-on training there. That's all for today's tour. Ugh, my brain's full. Can't take in any more. Sorry. I don't have enough muscle for this. I'm dizzy. I might be sick or something. Are you okay? Why don't you rest with your head on my lap? Don't start collapsing just yet. Tomorrow you'll split up and dive even deeper into your areas of interest. Natsu, you're heading for your blood draw now. Yay. Hey! Mudano told me about you. Come on in. An older lady in a public housing unit. This is kinda hot! Thank you. So you're a Kishin kid, huh? What a cutie! And done! Huh? That's it? Yeah, just a blood draw. That's it? Well, I mean, she's hot, so whatever. Wanna look? Go ahead. Here ya go. Though I guess my saggy boobs aren't much to look at, huh? Wait, are you a virgin? Want me to pop your cherry? Huh? What? Why? Well, I'm on my period, so maybe next time. When that time comes, I'll mess up your kinks real good. Huh? Is she teasing me? Or is she just completely insane? W-Welp... I'm just gonna head out now! Huh? Not a fan of saggy boobs? Good luck finding perfect, perky ones, then! I guess it's hard to say this to a sweet, innocent boy. "Kid, you deserve to have a little fun. You've got a shorter life than most, after all." Well, guess I won't be short on whack off material for a while. Yo, Mikado. You're early, Natsu. Are you okay? Your eyes are kind of popping out. S-So, what do you wanna do? It's been a while since I saw a movie. Ooh, movie! Yeah, let's go! Hey, this one looks like it's got tons of action, right? Yeah, and it's starting soon. Let's go with that one. I'm gettin' a cola and popcorn! What about you, Mikado? I'll go with a cafe latte. Whoo! Fancy! Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate? This charming little sparring match Good or evil, none of it matters Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think - Hara - I'm so crazy? - oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh That movie was stupidly sad, man. Two childhood friends reunited as enemies on the battlefield. A story where friends have to kill each other? That's too damn tragic. The poster totally lied to me, man. Say... if you and I met as enemies on a battlefield, what would you do? Would you shoot me? Hmm... I don't really like questions like that. It's just a hypothetical. If it were me... I'd make sure nobody died. I'd go straight to the top and end the damn war myself. Isn't that a bit too idealistic? It's all make-believe, anyway, so my answer can be, too. But if there was someone I truly couldn't forgive... that one... I'd take out. Ah, sorry, hold on. Crap, it's my boss. Seriously? Being a cop sounds like a pain. Sorry again! Thanks for today! You got it! Good luck out there! Guess I should head back, too. Huh? Oh, crap! Hey! I'm on my way back right now. Get back immediately. There's been an accident. ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 14v2 (480p) [4307F04D] Rokuro, aren't you tired? I'm starving. Let's hurry up and eat already! It's green! Let's run! Wait, Sis! I wonder what's for dinner. I hope it's Hamburg steak! A truck! Blood Eclipse Release! Make it in time! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! You used your blood, huh? We're leaving. Now. The Momotaro Agency will be moving in. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around We've detected an Oni blood reaction... near Hikarigaoka, Nerima ward, District Seven. Oh? Looks like we caught a dumb Oni. Send the location and video feed to all nearby Momotaro agents immediately. That's close! We're switching locations. You've got 40 seconds to get ready. Yes? Mr. Mudano, we're up to speed on the situation here. I'll guide you all to a safehouse. Please evacuate there. Natsu's operating on his own. Understood. I'll send someone to pick him up. You see the footage? There's an Oni nearby. Yeah. No idea if that guy is Shiki Ichinose or just someone who knows him. Chances are he doesn't even know him at all. What kind of idiot uses blood powers in public? Not only is he not Ichinose, but there's a chance any intel he has is useless, too. Either way, we'll catch him and squeeze him for intel. If he's useless, we kill him and move on. Hmm. Let's not kill this Oni. Huh? I mean, he saved those kids, didn't he? If he hadn't, they would have died instantly. So what, dumbass? An Oni's an Oni. They're made to be killed. I deal with Oni who hurt people. But ones who save people? I don't kill those. My personal rule. "Personal rule"? Give me a break. Still, I think we should talk to him. I'll go find him. I'll do whatever it takes to kill Oni. If I don't... I'll never get my triumph. Whatever. He can do what he wants. I need his power to take down the Kishin kid. I'll use him for all he's worth. And I've got these eyes. These eyes that can seek out my prey. This hideout is usually used by the reconnaissance teams around Nerima for storing classified intel, sharing information, or holding meetings. Wait, isn't that what the used bookstore was for? That place is for gathering intel while blending into daily life. Having lots of those spots really helps throw the enemy off in emergencies. We've sent someone to pick up Natsu. You've really taken care of everything, huh? Appreciate it. What's your plan from here? We're heading back to the academy. Understood. I'll prepare rooms for you to stay in until you depart. Thank goodness. We're going home. What? It's over just like that? I've been stewing ever since Kyoto, you know! What's he even talking about? They're the ones who caused this whole mess. Talk about nerve. Using blood powers out in public like that? Total amateur move. Huh? Got something to say, say it to my face! Natsu has arrived. So you're back. Huh? What's going on here? Wait, for real? You saved kids? That's awesome! They said it was an "accident," so I thought something huge went down. Huh? But why's everyone so tense? You seriously can't read a room, huh? Huh? Isn't this a praise-the-hero kind of moment? That is the appropriate reaction, Natsu, but you being able to say that with this mood is really something. Uh, thanks? Kougasaki, what you did wasn't wrong. But it wasn't exactly right, either. Work on your physical skills. Next time, handle it without using your blood. Still, I didn't peg you as the kid-saving type! I figured you'd just kick them aside and keep walking! That's a pretty wild assumption. I didn't save her. Once again, I couldn't save her. Again? What do you mean— The rooms are ready. We leave at dawn. Get some shut-eye 'til then. Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! It's the fifth anniversary of the Kanto Nuts Union! Keep the booze comin'! - Yeah! - Yeah! Wait, you're the president of a talent agency? That's amazing! If there's anyone you wanna meet, just say the word! That's so cool. I'm totally obsessed with this one group right now. Oh. Oh? You actually came, Shinya! Looks like you're living large. It's all thanks to you. Drink all you want tonight. I'm not here to celebrate. We're talking business. Get the girls out. What? Seriously? Cut us some slack. It's a party, man. Who gave you the luxury to drink like this? Did you forget who dragged your no-name gang to the top? I'll slam you back to the bottom. S-Sorry! I'll get on it right away. Find this guy. Who is it? You don't need to know. Open your damn eyes and search. Got it? Uh, of course. Then let's hype it up before you head out. Brought some premium stuff. Really? That costs a fortune. Here's to our triumph. You'll be rolling in it if this works out. To your continued success. Cheers! - Cheers! - Cheers! Who is Shinya, anyway? I don't even know his background. But thanks to him, we got big. He's something else. Yeah, but... it's like he sees right through everything. I see it all, the world as you see it. Shinya Momoiwa. He can see through the eyes of anyone infected with his bacteria. The effect lasts for 24 hours, and he can see through the eyes of 36 people at once. Yeah? Hey, you, look to your left. Huh? He's... There's a guy standing there, right? How the hell did he know? Want us to snatch him? No. Hold up. No way these punks can handle an Oni. I need a way to guarantee we bring him in. Why is he even wandering around here? This is where that truck crashed, isn't it? Why would an Oni revisit the scene? Maybe... Hello? You're near a hospital, right? Huh? Uh, yeah. Then sneak in. I-I can't. That's... I'm on probation. If I get caught again— Like I care. Say, didn't you get drunk and sleep with the leader's girl? Wha? How do you know about that? Imagine if he found out. He'd kill you. N-No, anything but that. If you want me to keep my mouth shut, do what I say. You two follow him. The rest, head to the hospital. You mean the girl who was brought in? Sorry, visiting hours are over. You can't see her now. Yeah, I figured. Are you family? No, I was just there when it happened. I wanted to make sure she's okay. The driver fell asleep at the wheel, right? It's getting scary out there. Sorry for the trouble. Ah, wait a second! Technically I shouldn't say this, but she's fine. Just here for observation. She hit her head when protecting her sister, but the scans came back clear. That's a relief. Throb! Big sisters are amazing, huh? Instinctively shielding their little sisters like that. Yeah. Big sisters are remarkable. Who are you guys? Heh. Funny, was gonna ask you the same. We don't know a damn thing about you. Not Momotaro? Whatever. Just come with us. We've got a car waiting. No. Don't know who she is, but you care, right? One move, and she's got a knife in her. If I stab her, I'm going straight to prison. So get in the damn car, already. Where's Shinya? Waiting in that room. That room gives me the creeps. It gives all of us the creeps. Things are finally going my way. You were with Ichinose in Kyoto, right? Just like Yomogi said. Blond hair, stitched-up all over. You're that one for sure. And if you're here, Mudano must be close, too! And if Mudano's here, then Ichinose is, too, right? Where is Kishin's kid? He's with you, isn't he? I'm totally buzzed off this jackpot! Can't help gettin' all hot! How the hell should I know, dumbass? Go jerk off somewhere else. Sheesh, you're no fun. Get fired up a little, will ya? You're worried about the little girl in the hospital, aren't you? What are you planning? Since when has the Momotaro Agency used street punks as lackeys? What are you talking about? I've got no clue. The world's full of sickos, you know? Maybe someone out there is just dying to do something stupid. Maybe someone's sticking close to that girl, ready to do something real nasty. Momotaro would really drag civilians into this? Who knows? I'm not doing anything. Not me, physically. Screw you! Whoa, don't be dumb. You want that girl to stay safe, don't you? Watch him. I'm going out for a while. Right! Don't take your eyes off him. Wait! Where the hell are you going? Now then, if Ichinose and Mudano are both in play, it's gonna be a hassle. Just me and Mikado won't cut it. Hello? Shinya? Where are you? Doesn't matter. But let's meet up. I'm on my way. He left this and vanished. What the hell is he thinking? Where could he have gone? He was acting weird, though. Huh? Just a little off, you know? He was like... not himself. Might be best to assume the worst and act accordingly. Momotaro is probably on high alert after what happened. Looks like Momotaro is going all in, too. They're making a move? Those guys? This is getting messy. Are the Momotaro agents around here, like, legit dangerous? The Momotaro agent in charge of Nerima... is unhinged any way you look at him. I've seen him at HQ a few times... but I think this is my first time actually meeting him. Today's lucky activity: build a ten-story card tower. Yeah, tough one. How's that my problem? Just don't do it. Don't be stupid. Wakako Myorinpa's horoscopes are law. If you live by Madame Myorinpa's yearly forecast, happiness is guaranteed. Horoscopes are garbage. According to this, your luck this month is total crap. You might die. Bring it on! Madame Myorinpa's stuff is freakishly accurate. Just like it said, "An extraordinary visitor will arrive." So? What do you want? Honestly? I'd kind of like to know that, too. I've got a hell of an offer. An offer, huh? You barge into someone else's turf flapping your mouth? If you're acting outside your jurisdiction, I've got every reason to call it a breach of protocol and kill you for it! You'll like what I've got to say. Promise. Shut it. I don't trust a word out of your mouth. Man, Shinya really rubs people the wrong way. Even though deep down, they're kind of the same. Tsukuyomi, what should we do with these guys? Hmm, let's see. We'll let Madame Myorinpa decide. Hold on a sec. Make the damn call yourself! Like I could ever decide without consulting the stars? What are you saying? You hearing yourself, moron? You're letting horoscopes run your damn life. That is kind of worrying. Oh, now that's interesting! As always, Madame Myorinpa is right. Her prophecies always show me the way. It says, "The first step to the next stage approaches." Now, what could that mean? Maybe fortune-telling ain't so dumb after all. I've found a thread leading to a Kishin child. Wait, what? The hell? Interested now? Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate?

That's right. And we'll take care of Shiki Ichinose, the Kishin child. But I want backup. Why the hell should we help you score points? Depending on the answer, your head and body might be going their separate ways. Calm down, Osuke. That short fuse of yours is a problem. My bad! More to the point, why would you need help? Even if he's a Kishin kid, you can probably handle it, right? You've got Mikado here. Made Vice Captain at his age. That says a lot. We know what you've achieved. You're giving me too much credit. I'm not good with conflict, and I'm not motivated to fight someone I don't even know. Honestly, I just learned we found a lead on the Kishin child. I'm still reeling from that. Quit acting like you're above it all. There's nothing like a good kill to make you feel alive! That's what makes life worth living! Then let me gift you that joy of life. I'm not asking you to do it for free. I'll let you fight Mudano. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Hey. Let's just go look for Kougasaki already! You're right. We should have moved out by now. We should request backup from the Battle Unit. The Battle Unit's not going anywhere. Good to see you, Captain Masumi. He left a note, didn't he? Whatever happens, it's on him. That's insane! Why won't the Battle Unit help? Anyone who acts on their own can die on their own. Hey! So we're just gonna abandon him? You seem like the type who's a pain in the ass to everyone around you. Been a while, Mudano. Babysitting these little punks now, huh? Guess people really do change. Why won't the Battle Unit act? Tch. Still not one for small talk, eh? All right, I'll break it down. We've already learned three things from our investigation. One: a student was kidnapped. Two: civilians were involved. Three: this wasn't the work of Nerima's Momotaro. You're telling us he got snatched by ordinary people? It was a gang called the Kanto Nuts Union, just your run-of-the-mill thug crew. The way they kidnapped him was amateur... but the way they've hidden him is probably thanks to a Momotaro. But Nerima's Momotaro don't bring civilians into it, thugs or not. That means some other Momotaro faction may be involved. True. If that's the case, we can't afford to recklessly deploy this district's Battle Unit. Huh? What? None of this makes sense! If the Battle Unit heads out to help, our defense in Nerima will become weaker, right? I guess. And if the Nerima Momotaro attacks while we're stretched thin, we'll be overrun. A ton of our people could die. On top of that, the bastard behind this has no problem dragging civilians into it. Then couldn't we call in a Battle Unit from somewhere else? And who's gonna protect the area that unit was supposed to be watching? Unlike the Momotaro, we're always short on people. That kind of move's just not an option. But this time, we've got Mudano. Naito Mudano, one of the elites from Tokyo's Battle Unit. I still remember it like it was yesterday. You made it rain the blood of a hundred Momotaro. I'll never forget that day. Dang. Teach was a total badass. I'm all about stories like that. Well, so much for a former elite. Now you're playing schoolteacher. You've already looked into the gang, right? Already pinpointed their hangout. Just gotta storm the place. Oh, so you have been doing your job. Sorry I snapped at you. Yes, I've been doing my job, dumbass. Battle Unit's tied down, but you're going in, Mudano. Kaoru, you're going, too. Understood. Hold on a sec! Let us go, too! We didn't come here just to sit around! What's the point if we're just benched? Excuse me? You can't even handle guard duty properly, and now you're mouthing off? Get lost, kid. No. Let them come. Look at you, cracking jokes now? This isn't a normal school. It's more efficient to let them gain real-world experience. Efficient? Like I care. Um, excuse me. I can contribute by moving out first! I'm good at scouting! Trying to join Recon, huh? Yes, sir! I think it suits my ability best. I'm not much of a fighter, so I figured this is all I've got to offer. That's all? You think you're cut out for this just 'cause you don't fight? We don't do this half-assed, kid. The Recon Unit is the first one in. Sure, once the fighting starts, we fall back and support. But we're the ones who close in first, sometimes even make contact. Our job is obtaining intel, too. One wrong move and, best case, you die right then and there. Worst case? They try to squeeze everything out of you, then kill you. But no matter what, we never, ever give up intel. If it comes to that, we choose death. So what do you say now? Same goes for the Medical Unit, the Battle Unit, and every Oni soldier. There's no such thing as a safe zone for us. We're all putting our lives on the line in the Oni Agency. You brats got the guts to handle that? S-Sorry. But I joined Rasetsu Academy because I wanted to be useful. I've been ready to die for a long time now! I mean, we wouldn't even be here if we didn't already have that kind of resolve. I just don't wanna die looking lame. If I get to die with someone I love, I'm good. Um, well, I'm scared of dying... but I want to do whatever I can. As for me... I'm ready to die. But I'd rather get stronger so I don't have to. So please, let us go! Even if you say no, I'm going anyway! Got it? Training them is part of the job. And we're always short on people, right? Tch. Fine, whatever. But don't expect any special treatment just 'cause you're kids. - Right! - Hell yeah! We'll split into two units. Yusurube and Byobugaura, you're Recon. Support Masumi and Kaoru. The rest of you are Battle Unit. Follow my lead. Top priority is rescuing Kougasaki. Avoid fighting if possible. No disguises or anything? We're heading into enemy territory. No need to blend in. In a pinch, disguises just cause confusion. I'll get your outfits ready. Get changed. These are formal uniforms, normally reserved for ranked officers. Get your heads in the game. Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Mudano? You mean that Mudano? Who's Mudano again? Back in the day, he solo killed a hundred Momotaro. Total ace of their Battle Unit. Word is he's stepped back from active duty. Just like in Kyoto, Ichinose and Mudano always move together. Facing them both at once is a tall order. So I want you two to take care of Mudano. We'll handle Ichinose. You two take Mudano. Our interests align. This better not be B.S. I don't lie when it counts. You've got my word. You'll get your shot at Mudano, 100% Fair enough. You did become a captain on the quality of your intel alone. Well? We doing this or what? They're in. I trust fortune telling, because this world runs on luck. Some die young. Some live to a hundred. It's all luck. That's why I use fortune telling, to get as close as possible to the future I want. 'Cause if I get hurt or sick, I can't fight. Simple, right? These guys are pure battle junkies. I may not look like it, but I'm into mortal combat. We'll go along with your plan. Appreciate it. Want me to check your fortunes as a good-luck charm? Pass. Birthday and blood type are critical intel to me. I don't share that stuff lightly. Pfft. And that's why you're shady as hell. My birthday's October 21st, and I'm type O. What do you think? Don't blurt stuff like that out. Jeez. I'm hittin' the restroom. Oh, Mikado, your fortune's not bad. Says you'll meet someone you'll have a long relationship with. Really? Whoa! That's spot on! Madam Myorinpa's techniques are too divine for this world! However... it also says the bond could fall apart with just one wrong move. Wait, what? Today's lucky activity is "spend time on stilts." How is anyone supposed to pull that off? Madam Myorinpa's lucky actions are famously difficult to pull off. By the way, I've got stilts if you want to try. Why do you have those? Shinya, how long do I gotta keep watch? Sorry. I'm tied up at the moment. This kid's got a real attitude problem. Then throw a damn bucket of water on him. On it. Take this, you little punk! Soak him good. Okay. Leave the kid and get out of there. That place is probably hot now. Wait, seriously? Go hide out. I'll send you the location. I'll meet you there later. We need to talk. R-Right! Things are moving along nicely. Those punks are holed up in that cabaret club over there. All right, let's just raid the place! You idiot. Try using your brain. First, we assess the situation. Glasses! Yes, sir! You've got scanning abilities, right? Do your thing. We're in a blind spot here. Go ahead and use your blood. Understood! Blood Eclipse Release! Where Art Thou! Huh? What is it? It's hard for me to see for some reason. I figured. Your ability has a number of disadvantages to it. For starters, you can't move. Also... when you've got a multilevel structure, people stack on top of each other, and that throws off your ability to pinpoint anyone. In Kyoto, I only had to wait for people to leave. Guess that's why I didn't consider it a problem before. Means you're still a work in progress. So now what? Dumbass. That's why we're here. I knew you guys wouldn't be much help yet, so at least learn something. You all stay put. Watch and learn what recon work really looks like. Keep your eyes open. Kaoru, check how many are inside and the building layout. On it. Um, how does it work? Like this. A bottle with my blood in it. I give it a shake. The sound of the blood echoing back tells me how many people are nearby and what the building layout is like. You've heard how bats and dolphins use sound to locate things, right? This is like the ultra-pro version of that. So it shows not just people, but the structure, too? Yeah, it gives a simplified view. And other people can use it, too. Huh? I wanna try! Let me do it! The downside is the data overload. It's rough on the brain. Well? Can you see it? A flood of info hits your brain at once. You can get information sickness. Whoa! He threw up! I couldn't make out anything, and my brain's about to freaking explode. In my experience, it tends to work best for people with high IQ. You've got a low IQ! Yusurube's got a similar ability. He should be fine. He barfed, too! A four-eyes with low IQ! You can keep that one. It'll last about two hours. I'll take it! Give it... back. Nope! Kaoru, enough screwing around. What's the status? Something's weird. I'm only getting a reading from one Oni inside. That's gotta be Kougasaki! He's locked up in the very back room. Could be a trap. Or they bolted in a hurry. Well, I'll know soon enough. He's turning invisible! Captain Masumi can turn invisible for ten minutes by licking his own blood. That's awesome! Quit freaking out over every little thing. Ow! He's totally gone. Wait, his clothes go invisible, too? That's what makes it so crazy. Even the stuff he's wearing turns invisible with him. I'm going in for a look. You're all on standby. The captain and vice captain have powers on a whole other level. What can I even contribute? Their abilities aren't just better versions of mine. They're way beyond. You're allowed to feel down, but it won't get you anywhere. Professor... Honestly, I am feeling really down. Those two are just too good. It's like there's no place for someone like me. Yeah, Masumi and Kaoru's abilities are impressive... but when he first got his invisibility, it only lasted 30 seconds. What? He trained like hell, built up experience, and improved it with his own effort. Earn the right to feel discouraged after you've put in the work. Your ability's not worthless. But whether you waste it or grow it, that's up to you. Locked? Yeah, it's locked. Easy lock. No problem. Shoeprints are still fresh. Looks like they cleared out in a panic. Sloppy work. Definitely amateurs. Not a single trap. Did they really just bail in a rush? Then what's this feeling I can't shake? That just leaves this door. And, yeah, no traps here, either. This one's gonna be a pain to open. You one of Mudano's brats? Who are you? I'll explain later. Is there any kind of trap in there? No, none. That's all I needed. He's in here? So how the hell do we open this thing? Let me handle it. I was ready to tear through some punks, and all I get is door duty? This sucks! Blood Eclipse Release! Devilish Hysteria! Awesome! Door's open, people. Kougasaki? Dang. They went full deluxe bondage set on you! Shut it. You sure made this a hassle. Hey, wait! Where are you going? There's no time. They've taken a kid hostage. I have to go now, or it'll be too late. Mudano. I've heard the rumors, but this is my first time seeing you in action. Shiki Ichinose. Looks even more like a brat than in the photos.

He's gotta have his reasons, don't you think? Wouldn't it be better to just let him go? You can try to stop me, but I'm going. Kougasaki, once you get back, I expect the full story. If you can promise me that, I'll let you go with Shiki and me. Don't just give him a free pass. You're being too soft. It's just how he is. Letting him go is more efficient. He won't talk otherwise. You'll tell us everything when you're back. Got it? Got it. What do we do? Tch. The rest of you, scoop up every scrap of intel you can find. Don't leave a single clue behind. Yes, sir! Kougasaki. You'll stand out way too much dressed like that. Shinya Momoiwa. His left eye lets him see another person's line of sight. He can spy on up to 36 people for 24 hours... anyone he's infected with his bacteria, especially if they've taken in his bodily fluids. In other words, Kougasaki has no idea he's being watched.

Showing him my face was a slip-up but nothing I can't recover from. The real trick is what to do after tapping into their vision. The smoothest move? Letting their friends rescue them. The Oni aren't idiots. I knew they'd track the thugs' hideout down fast. That's why I didn't have them relocate the kid. I wanted him to get rescued. From here on out, your every move for the next 24 hours is mine to see. They're on the move. They're headed to the hospital, right? Guess I'll lay some groundwork before reporting to Tsukuyomi and Osuke. Time to light a fire under Mikado's ass, too. I thought maybe you fell in. Looks like we're about to encounter our target. That was fast. At this rate, we'll get there in no time. Kougasaki, Shiki, you two go on ahead. Huh? What about you, Professor? We've got an uninvited guest. He just took off. Oof. We almost there? Yeah. Once we turn here... Hey, it's on fire! Where the hell's the fire truck? This is really bad. Shinya, I lit the place up like you told me to. Damn it, damn it! You're sure they're not gonna catch me, right? We have to help! We can't! It's way too dangerous! We have to wait for the fire department! There are still people inside! Get a hold of yourself! Damn it! Hey, you idiot! Why the hell is this happening? W-Wait! Get back here! Hey! I've gotta get them out fast. Yo! You seriously just ran in here like that? Huh? Wait, this isn't hot at all. How's that possible? It's blazing in here. Is this tied to my Kishin powers or something? Hold it! Don't just charge in blind! You'll be burned alive! Who gives a damn about that right now? Get your head on straight! You think I'm your enemy? Huh? I'm not, am I? You've got someone you're trying to save, right? Then stop freaking out and act like it! For whatever reason, fire doesn't do jack to me! Maybe it's my Kishin blood or whatever... but if we play it smart, we can make this work! Make what work? We don't even know where anyone is! We'll have to search every floor! People are dying while we stand here! I got it! There might be a way to save every last one of them! But I need you to work with me, Kougasaki! Hang in there, Granny! Don't breathe the smoke! Are you a god? Did the heat go to your head or somethin'? I'm not senile, ya punk! It was burning up, and I couldn't even breathe. Then you showed up, and it stopped hurting like magic. You've got some kind of special power, don't ya? I bet the gods gave it to you so you could protect people. You're safe now. Granny, you can get out through here! Run for it! I appreciate it. Shinya! I did it just like you said! I know. Get back to the hideout now. Hey, are you sure it's gonna be all right? Have I ever lied to you? And don't say a damn word to the others. Just sit tight 'til I show up. Y-Yeah, got it. Relax. You pulled off a big win. Starting tomorrow, you're head of the gang. Tch. Pathetic weaklings must all be scared now. This place is burning better than I planned. Saving people, huh? Not very Oni-like of you. Idiots. Go ahead and be useful for my sake. Kougasaki! How many left? We're running outta time, so hurry up! Shut up! My head's pounding! What even is this thing? My skull's about to split open. One of the Recon guys gave it to me. The sound of the blood echoing back tells me how many people are nearby and what the building layout is like. So you pinpoint the locations, and I go grab 'em. That's the plan. Kinda pisses me off that you're able to use it no problem. 'Specially 'cause he said it works best for people with high IQ! It's not no problem. Feels like my brain's getting jackhammered. And I feel sick. I can't keep this up for long. So quit stalling and go, slowpoke! Don't order me around, dumbass! Hope you go bald! Second floor, south wing! Move it! You were scared, huh? You did great, kid! Next, fourth floor, west side, all the way in the back! So... heavy! Sorry! I've made up my mind! I'm gonna lose weight! Lose it in three seconds! Pick it up! You're slowing down! This'd be a hell of a lot easier if you had a damn phone! Too bad! I don't! Just run! Hey! One more screwup, and I'm gonna kill you, Shiki! You're the one who sucks at giving directions, you lobotomized troll! Hey! How many left? Just one left! Did I already save the kid you were worried about? Not yet. So she's the last one. I'll be quick! Where is she? North wing... third floor. Kougasaki! You okay? Shut up. Take five, tough guy! Hey, kid, you in here? Found ya! She's still breathing! You're gonna be okay! Don't die on me! You're okay! You're okay! I've got you! Kougasaki! Found her! She's alive! We gotta get out! Hey! Kougasaki! Give me a break! You alive in there? Shut up, already! Kougasaki! Yeah, I'm alive. But my leg's pinned. You get that girl outta here now! This whole building's about to go! It could all come down any second! Fine! I'll be right back! Damn it. My head's spinning. I can't even control my blood. He'll be right back, huh? What an idiot. What's he even get out of helping me like that? This place didn't even have anything to do with him. He's got a screw loose. I'll help you, but you gotta work with me. Kougasaki! There might be a way to save every last one of them! But I need you to work with me, Kougasaki! Come to think of it, he's always been helping me. I seriously piss myself off. I'm pathetic. I've lived alone my whole life. I figured I'd die alone, too, and that was fine. I used to think I'd rather die than rely on anyone. The idea that someone might save me never even crossed my mind. At least, that's what I thought. What the hell's happening to me? Sheesh. You're still breathing, dumbass? I found myself believing that Shiki would come back for me. Shut up. Like hell, I'm dying, jackass. Now hurry the hell up and dig me out. I should just finish the job and bury you deeper. I used to think I'd rather die than rely on anyone. It's a zoo out there. Fire trucks, onlookers, the whole mess. Let's book it. But now... having someone to lean on might not be so bad after all. Thanks. Huh? What? Speak up! I can't hear jack! Support me properly, you idiot. What? I'll drop-kick you into the fire, you little punk! Not a single death in that blaze? That's a damn miracle! That guy told me where to go! What guy? A boy saved me! My arms are toast. Lending a shoulder to a dude is just adding insult to injury. Didn't ask you to save me. You're such a pain in the ass. Hmph. So who was that kid? I helped. I get to know. That girl... What is it? The Momo who kidnapped me must have set that fire. But why set the fire? They took that girl hostage just to lure me out? You wouldn't kill a hostage. To shut her up just in case? There must be another reason. What's that mean? That girl has a younger sister. Maybe she's the hostage now? But why take hostages at all? Shiki, it's you they're after. Me? You're the Child of Kishin. Momo's gunning for you. They were using her as leverage to take you out. It's just a gut feeling, but the little sister may be in danger. Yeah, but we don't even know where the sister is. Let's hit up the Recon Unit! No point. They even tried to stop me from going to the hospital because it was too vague. They won't move on a "maybe the little sister is in danger." We'll have to search for her ourselves. Moron! We can't just track someone down like that. That's right! Bow before Lord Shiki! Gross. Stop. I know exactly who can find her! What? Who? A cop! What the hell are they talking about? Not being able to hear them is the one downside to this power. Tsukuyomi and Osuke sure are taking their time, huh? I wonder if something happened. Who knows? And who cares? As long as they kill Mudano. What's that? His phone? Hello? Natsu? - Yeah, I'm good! How about you? - A personal call? I see. Uh-huh. A favor? What is it? What? I can't hear you. Hello? I hear sirens. Are you outside? Yeah. Yeah. No problem. - Wait a second. - Anyway... - Is he talking to Ichinose? - I had a good time the other day. Hey. Who are you talking to? Natsu, he's a new friend of mine. Yeah, I'm with my boss, the one I told you about. He knows about me? Then I should probably say hi. Let me talk to him. Huh? What? Did you badmouth me? No, no. Sorry, Natsu. My boss wants to say hi. Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Mikado's boss. Oh, hi. I'm Natsu. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm in a hurry right now, so I don't really have time to chat. I hear you. Sorry about that. You're outside, right? Tell me, is it raining out there? Rain? Nah, all clear. Mikado and Ichinose know each other. Looks like luck's on my side. I followed you all the way out here. Let's go. Thanks to Tsukuyomi's crappy luck, I get the chance to kill you. Can't believe my luck. Who are you? Osuke Momokado, Vice Captain, Unit 20. Let's throw down. No backup. He's alone? He's been laser-focused on me since the start. I don't want anybody to interfere. Let's have a good time, just you and me. No cameras. No one I need to protect. Not motivated without an audience, Mudano? Nah. It's nice to cut loose every once in a while. Action!

Brilliant. If that's your move... Then here's mine! A straight shot! Testing me out with straight hand-to-hand, huh? I like it. Means you're taking me seriously. But me, I'd rather spend my time on the fun stuff. So let's skip the foreplay already. Time for the main event!

Blood Eclipse Release. Profuse Autumn Rain. Naito Mudano's ability, Profuse Autumn Rain. He forges an umbrella from blood and commands a storm of crimson rain. Without the umbrella being open, the power cannot be controlled. Rebirth's Deluge. He deflected the rain with his sickle's spin. Judge it by the length of how it looks, and you're in for a world of hurt. This chain stretches up to 300 meters! And even if you close the gap, it's pointless. I'll just cut your throat with the weighted blade! Die from a distance or die up close? Take your pick, Mudano! I choose how I die, huh? You talk a good game. But... you're not strong enough to back it up. That's a cool line. You know... I think I'll steal it! No way! You snatched it like we're playing catch? That speed. What kind of arm does he have? But... if I cancel my ability, it doesn't matter! Damn, that was close! Thought you were gonna take my head off. You're a one-trick pony, Mudano! I've already figured out that move! No way. This guy... he hurled his umbrella at me? From here, it's just more of the same. How many times can you withstand it? How much blood are you planning to burn through? Lucky you. The moon's beautiful tonight. Its light will bear witness to your death. At this rate, I can't win. Osuke might actually die. No matter how I read it, the result's terrible. Should we go back him up? Back him up? I don't think so. Osuke's a freak. Even the biggest brawlers get scared for their life when pushed far enough. They think, "This isn't how it was supposed to go," and sink into despair. But to Osuke, victory or defeat is nothing more than a result. What matters isn't the result. It's the process. The process of a kill-or-be-killed fight is everything! This is the best, Mudano! Come on, let's keep this going! I'll take everything you've got! Since the process is what matters most, then Osuke will even accept death. He's out of his mind. You'd have to love fighting to your core to live like that. For him, battle's a drug. The only thrill he feels is in a fight to the death. That's why Osuke's a freak. He treats his own life more carelessly than anyone else. Should we end this already? Don't bum me out. Give me more! Keep me fired up! What the hell is that? So it's just bigger now, that it? Yeah, but the range... is on a whole other level! You've got a weakness, too! Your attacks only come from above! That's your weak spot! Is that so? Raindrops don't always fall as blessings from the sky. What the... Divine Tears of the Twin Dragons. I see! All the blood he's used up stayed pooled on the ground. He's been manipulating that, too! And not just that! He kept repeating the same technique... made me think he could only attack from above! You're straightforward, simple. In a way, you were even a decent guy. But as long as you stay inside the bounds of conventional thinking, you'll never defeat me. Can't argue with that. Now then, I kept you alive for a reason. You're going to tell me everything you know. Two, Four, and Six of Swords. Reinforcements? Relax. Tonight isn't fated for a battle. I'm just here to collect this freak. Who the hell are you calling a freak? You think I'll just let you walk away? Any minute now, joggers will start passing through here. Unless you want to drag them into this, too? Your call. We'll meet again... if fate wills our reunion. As expected, you lost. That ability of yours is weak. Shut it! I had a good time, all right? Then why not try again? Next time, I'll win 100%! Sure, but next time's my turn. Idiot! It'll be me again! Yeah. Got it. Okay. Thanks! They're gonna search for that girl's house! His boss said he'll help out, too. Hey, hey! I didn't hear a "thank you" there. What was it, some cop that owed you a favor? Figures. A face like yours is practically criminal. This guy! But really, why do you even care about that girl? It's not a fun story. I have a sister. No, to be exact, I used to have one. You heard this before, right? My old man's a Momotaro. He killed my mother and my sister. He chose his duty as a Momotaro over his own family, the worthless piece of shit. Uh-uh! I told you, hold on to your big sister's hand when you cross the street! Aw, I can cross by myself! Yes, I know you can. But I still want to hold your hand. If a car came, I'd be too scared to move. But if you were holding my hand, you'd protect me, right? My sister was good at talking people into things. Oh, no. Maybe I'll end up dying after all. But she was especially good at talking me into things. Here, Sis! Hold my hand! I thought I was the one protecting her. But the truth is, she'd been protecting me all along... with her gentle little lies. "When I grow up, I want to be a proud police officer like my dad! First grade, Class One, Jin Momoiro"! Yay! Jin, you read it so smoothly. Amazing! Tomorrow, I'll present it at school! And since it's Dad's birthday tomorrow, read it for him after dinner, too. I'm sure he'll love it! But what I really wanna say is I wanna be a Momotaro like Dad. No! Absolutely not! The fact that your dad's a Momotaro is a secret. But still... fighting Oni is so cool! Oh, no! If you blab about it, we'll never see each other again. Scary people will come and take Mom and me away. I'm scared! I won't say it! I won't! But if Dad knew you wanted to be a Momotaro, he'd be proud for sure! Dad's coming home tomorrow, right? It's his birthday, after all! He'll be home. I can't wait for tomorrow to come! Why don't we bake a cake before Dad comes home? Let's do it! Now I understand. If that wasn't happiness, then what was? I'll help! Just tell me what to do! All right, then. You can spread the frosting. I bet you'll be good at that, Jin. I truly loved them... loved them so much that I swore to protect them. See you, Jin! See you tomorrow! Bye-bye! It's from Sis. Guess I've gotta step up and take care of things! It's been so long since I've seen Dad. He's always away at work. But today we'll all be together! To me family was something to protect. Dad is in front. Mom and Sis are in the middle. And I'm all the way in the back. Dad protects from the front. I guard the rear. I'm home. I bought the milk. Mom? Sis? I killed them. Huh? Listen closely, Jin. Your mother was an Oni. And Hazuki, too. Who'd have thought she was an Oni? No, it's a lie. Dad, you wouldn't... Jin... which are you? This can't be. Are you Momotaro? Or are you Oni? Tell me. If you're an Oni, too... It's not true. It's not true. ...I'll kill you. It's a lie! It can't be! So you're an Oni, too? My sense of self snapped back, and in that hazy half-consciousness, I understood everything. She sent me to buy milk as a way to stall, to buy time. Even on the brink of death, she risked her life to protect me I see. I couldn't protect her. Dad didn't come after me. He must have figured there was no way I'd survive those wounds. When I regained consciousness, I was lying in the brush by a river. The fact I was still alive was nothing short of a miracle. It hurts. It hurts. Mom. Sis. Even then, I never looked back at the path I'd taken. Because there was no one behind me... no one waiting, no one to take me in. All I had left were these wounds and my hatred. If I was to live as an Oni... then I'd live as a vengeful Oni. That was the choice I made. Mom... Sis... rest easy in heaven. I'll protect your peace. As for Dad... I'll never let that bastard join you. I won't let him go to heaven. I'll drag the old man down into the pit of hell itself... and that's how I'll protect them. Hatred is what will keep me alive... driving me forward... even knowing my own path can only end in hell. I don't really know how Mom and my sister ended up revealed as Oni. The way horns appear varies from person to person. Some people show them as children. Others only manifest them when they die. Momotaro children always inherit Momotaro blood, but when a Momotaro has kids with an Oni, it's a toss-up. The child can inherit Momotaro blood or Oni blood, but not both. Hazuki and I didn't draw from the Momotaro side. We got the Oni blood. I see. Man, thanks to that depressing crap, my bladder's about to burst. I'm takin' a leak. Crap, I'm tearing up? A story like that gets to you. - The guy keeps poking at my tear ducts. - Cut it out. Of course I'll cry! Getting me to cry like that... Now I'm pissed off! Damn it! Damn it! I swear I'll deck him! That's better. Totally cleared out. Don't give me that look like you're freaked out! My face looks the same as always! Guess so. "Guess so"? Screw you! My eyes are swollen as hell! They always look like that. That's it! I'm gonna kill you! Knock out every damn tooth and kill you! If you feel sorry for me, I'll kill you where you stand. Are you kidding? I don't feel sorry for you. But I'll give you this. Anyone who doesn't break in that situation is something else. How embarrassing! What's with this vibe? What's this guy even saying? Gross. Mikado! Perfect timing! Hello? You found the place? Let's move, Kougasaki! Why the hell is this place burning, too? Why? Everywhere we go, fire after fire! This ain't normal! Shut up!

How long do I have to keep watchin' this place? Sorry, but there's something I want you to do. What is it? Burn down the house? I can't! Relax. I've already planned it so you won't get caught. I'm asking because I trust you. Have I ever steered you wrong? Do it. Or else you'll be back at the bottom. Okay. I got it. And there's one more thing I need from you. Pull it off, and I'll make sure you earn a hundred times more than now. The best tools are fools obsessed with money. Wave some cash in their faces, and they'll bust their asses for you. All while never realizing they're disposable pawns. Didn't expect Mikado and Ichinose to be connected. I'm on a lucky streak. You're outside, right? Tell me, is it raining out there? Rain? Nah, all clear. Here. Sorry, Natsu. Yeah. Yeah. Huh? That's, um... What's up? He wants me to find a girl. Sounds like it's urgent. I blurted out that I was a cop, even though I'm not. What do I do? Leave it to me. Really? You're in a bind, right? Not like I've got anything better to do. I'll work some magic with my intel. Thanks! Natsu, it's all set. My boss said he'll look into it. - Perfect. - It'll be fine. Don't worry about it. Didn't expect the name tag I traced to actually pay off. Thank you. You take care, too, Natsu. - Yeah... - Everything's going just as I planned. Okay, talk to you soon. Bye-bye! No doubt in my mind. Mikado's gonna want Ichinose dead!

I see. I've got a pretty good idea of what happened. First, I'll give you a physical exam. Sure. There's one thing I need to confirm. How'd it go? Physically, he checks out fine. But based on what he told us, the fact they've been one step ahead everywhere... it's likely we're being spied on. Some kind of surveillance ability, either bugs or hidden cams. Surveillance, you think? I'm sure it's not the ability of the Nerima Momo who tangled with Mudano. Who are you? Osuke Momokado, Vice Captain, Unit 20. Let's throw down. I don't want anybody to interfere. Let's have a good time, just you and me. Bottom line, we know nothing about our opponent, not even his power. We're at a complete disadvantage. So what do we do now? Our only lead is those lowlife punks connected to that Momo. Right. And if we don't move fast, they'll get silenced, too. Silenced? You mean killed? Of course. Momo doesn't want us to find those punks. If I was Momo, I'd take them out before they can talk. Always assume the worst. If you can't imagine the absolute worst-case scenario, you'll freeze up when it counts. Don't forget. These guys wouldn't think twice about burning children alive. Sick bastards. This place isn't safe anymore, either. Shame, but we've gotta abandon it. Evacuate everyone. So we're out of options? Idiot. Every ability has a weakness. The key is to find that weakness without giving up. What, losing your nerve just because things got hard? When you're cornered, that's when you need to keep your head cool and push your brain into overdrive. If you can't do that, you're useless to the Recon, Support, or Combat Units. Don't let your spirit break. As long as you've got fighting spirit, there's still a chance. Right! Mudano, Kaoru, we're holding a strategy meeting. You okay? Totally fine. You got your butt kicked by Mudano. Shut it! That was just the first half. Either way, I'm up next. Nope! I get a rematch. Tch. If you're gonna kill him, then do it already. He's surprisingly useless. Though I guess if he and Tsukuyomi team up, they might pull it off. More importantly... should be about that time. There it is. Hey, Mikado, check this out. This news article about the fire, isn't that the location your friend asked about? Huh? You're right! It's on fire? There was a fire at a nearby hospital, too. It made me curious, so I looked into it. Remember the sisters that Oni saved? Yeah. They were on security footage, right? They were at both fires. First, the hospital where the older sister was staying caught fire. Then the house where the younger sister lives also burned down. No doubt someone's after them. Let me ask you something. Can you really trust this Natsu guy? Trust him? He wanted the sisters' address, right? Yeah, but... Who exactly is Natsu? How much do you actually know about him? Can you say, without a doubt, that you trust him with your whole heart? Captain Masumi! Yeah? We've gathered all the important documents. Good. Trash the rest. Then you and everyone else, relocate to the alternate hideout. Yes, sir. Also, I've got one more thing I need from you. Sir? Are we relocating, too? This is boring! Nope. You're all being put to work. Your job is to track down the scum. The Kanto Nuts Union, those lowlifes connected to that Momo, run a handful of shops. Odds are good they're holed up in one of them. Problem is we're short on people. So pair off and fan out. Find those punks. What about Kougasaki? He's sitting this one out. No telling what kind of ability he might have been hit with. Makes sense. He'll relocate with the others. All right, let's go, Rokuro! Okay. This beats the hell out of hiding like mice! Let's get a move on. U-Um, sorry, I... Come on, let's go! O-Okay! Thank you so much! If I'm ever dragging you down... just pretend I don't exist! She's got that move down like an art form. I'm counting on you, Byobugaura! Can I trust Natsu? Of course I can! And you will, too, once you meet him. What have you two been going on about? Hey, now, don't interrupt. Oh, sorry. Just talking about a friend. Yeah, you really are that kind of guy, huh? That's why I'm here. You're too pure. And you've got this unwavering sense of conviction. But being overly righteous doesn't mean you're right. Even swords are curved for a reason. Sometimes bending is what keeps you from breaking. But don't worry. I'll be the one to bend you. Wow, sounds like you've made a real friend. Want me to do a compatibility reading? I think we're a good match. We've got similar interests, and well, we click. I get that you want to believe in this Natsu guy, but you're too kind. And I'm worried that kindness might be used against you. Used? Come on, that's a bit much. Humans, Oni, and Momo alike, everyone's cunning in their own way. And to be honest, even I've been hiding something from you. You have? It's about the Oni who saved the sisters. Actually, I nabbed him and held him captive. Wait, seriously? I should have told you. That's my bad. But here's the real kicker. That Oni was deeply connected to Shiki Ichinose. The Child of Kishin? Back in Kyoto, that Oni was with Ichinose. He was in disguise, but based on what Yomogi told us about his physical features, it's almost certainly him. Which means there's a good chance they're working together again right now. Then why not just make that Oni spill where Ichinose is hiding? He slipped away while I was on my way here. That's so lame! Anyway, let's say Ichinose got info from that Oni. What do you think he'd do next? Check if his friends are okay, obviously. Wrong. He'd silence the witnesses. What if those sisters saw his face? What if they saw his ability in action? If Ichinose's a perfectionist, even the tiniest loose end would get snipped. Hell, I bet he'd even kill the Oni who got caught. Anyone dumb enough to get captured is just dead weight. No way. He'd kill his own allies? One more thing. Ichinose's attribute as a Child of Kishin is flames. And what's been happening lately? Fires, all of them. Now, what if this Natsu guy is Ichinose in disguise? Huh? Natsu? He used fire to silence witnesses. He doesn't know you're Momotaro, but he's been using you nonetheless. It's just a theory, sure, but it fits, doesn't it? But... But what? You really don't think that's suspicious, asking for the sisters' address in a situation like this? And then, bam, there's a fire right after. You're seriously telling me not a single part of you is doubtful? Because that'd be the real red flag, wouldn't it? It's true, I haven't known Natsu that long. But you know how people give off a vibe? Natsu's always felt completely genuine. That's why I want to believe in him. He "wants to believe"? Not "does believe"? The seed of doubt's already been planted. From 100% trust, now it's dropped to 99%. That's right. Wobble, wobble. Even a well-woven thread unravels from a single fray. That one percent of suspicion is a major one percent. And that little "motivational switch" you've been hiding, I see it now. Just gotta dig it out. And when the time's right, I'll be the one to flip that switch! Until the time comes, let him cling to that fractured 99%. No one's here. I don't see any scary people, either. Ugh. I think my stomach's acting up. Not good. Are you okay, Rokuro? Want some medicine? Need a bathroom? No, you should lie down. Here, lie on my lap! No, um... Another dead end. Again? I just wanna find these guys and lay 'em out, already. We're here to capture them, remember? Mikado? What's this about? Hello. Hey, Natsu? Sorry for the sudden call. I was wondering if we could talk in person for a bit. Huh? Now? It's not a good time. You sound kind of busy. What are you up to? Wait, are you outside? Where are you? It's sorta hard to say. Wait, are you doing something you can't talk about? No, nothin' like that. I can't tell him the truth, so what do I say? Uh, I'm sorry. I'm totally in the way, right? I'll just turn to stone. Don't mind me. No, no! You're fine! Sorry! I gotta go. I'll call you later, okay? Natsu! Hello? Seems like you still trust him, but he's clearly hiding something. Of course he is! The Kishin kid's got a lot on his plate right now. But he sure as hell can't explain it! Still... thanks to that, my little piggy bank of suspicion just got fatter. What was Mikado even callin' about? He was acting kinda weird. Man, keeping secrets really wears you down. Maybe once this all settles down, I'll go see him. Mikado, I get why you want to believe in him. I... But if my theory checks out, you're the one who needs to deal with it, get me? Oh, you will. I've already made sure of it. I know. I don't believe it for a second, but if Natsu really is a Child of Kishin... then I'll kill him... with my own hands. That whole call with Mikado... I don't know, maybe it was actually about some romantic drama? But it's probably 100% nonsense anyway. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate? This charming little sparring match Good or evil, none of it matters Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think - Hara - I'm so crazy? - Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh These punks have their fingers in all sorts of properties. No telling where they're hiding. Search every last one of them. They're our only solid link to the Momo behind the attack on Kougasaki. Find them! Easy for him to say! They're nowhere! We tried almost all the places on the list you got, right? They might be hiding somewhere the Recon Unit hasn't marked yet. Sorry for speaking out of turn. Then we've got nothin' to go on. Crap. Yes, I am crap. I'm sorry. I'll just go die now. Hey, I wasn't talkin' to you, Byobugaura! All we're doin' is wasting time at this point. Damn it. I hate to do this again, but I've got no choice. The Kanto Nuts Union? I know, I'm sorry! But can you figure out where they are? Wow, Natsu. First you hang up on me, and now you're asking for another favor? I know. I'm a jerk, askin' you for all this. But you're the only one I can count on right now. Can you track them down, like, ASAP? Yeah. I'll look into it. ▶ [SubsPlease] Tougen Anki - 19v2 (480p) [703379C9] Can you track them down, like, ASAP? Yeah. I'll look into it. If I figure anything out, I'll send you a message. Sorry, but please look for them. Just like with the sisters before. There's clearly something wrong here, right? I said I wanted to believe, right? Tell me the location. I'll go, too. I want to see for myself what Natsu is really doing. Order from headquarters. Looks like the Oni are on the move. Anyway, just let us know if you spot Mudano. What a pain. The Oni make their move now, of all times. Coincidence? That Natsu guy— Yes, coincidence. I'm sure of it. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around This Kanto Nuts Union looks like a pretty nasty gangster outfit. You found them? Yeah. Just sent the info. Thank you. I've sent the location to Natsu. Shall we go? You still have faith in that guy? Until I see anything different with my own eyes. In that case, I'll make my move, too. I'm about to kill my own crew... set the place on fire... burn everyone inside to ash. That was Shinya's final order. After that, I skip town, spend three years living it up overseas. Shinya even set me up with the cash and a place to hide. After three years, I'll come back to Japan... and start raking in cash with him again. Money is everything! No one can resist the pull of that paper! One gram. That's all it weighs. And human life is even lighter than that. We had a bond, yeah. But... you can always build new ones! What matters is money! Money! Cash! Money! We're almost at the place he told me about. Think you can keep running? Y-Yes, I'm fine! What is that? That direction... that's where we're headed? Byobugaura, get the teachers! I'm goin' in! Huh? R-Right! Was that a gas explosion? Who the hell would do something like this? Hey! Not again. Hey! Are you okay? Hey! Damn it! Isn't anyone still alive in here? Natsu? Mikado? So this is your true self. True self? Uh, this is... Wait, why are you even here? Mikado? I trusted you. I thought you were my friend. Motivation switch: on! Shiki Ichinose. How do you know my name? I just found out that you're Shiki Ichinose... a Child of Kishin... a cold-blooded, brutal Oni. And I am... Momotaro Agency operative... Mikado Momodera! Mikado, you're... Momotaro? Sorry for lying about being a cop. Though... I'm not as much of a liar as you are. You took so many lives. You were even willing to harm children. Wha? I'm classifying you as a threat... and will eliminate you. Wait! That wasn't me! I'm done listening to anything you say. You used me to kill people. I will never forgive you! I told you, you've got it wrong! Hold up, Mikado. It's not smart to fight here. The fire trucks should be showing up any minute. We're pulling out. It's fine. I've already got a bead on their hideout. Next time, we'll settle this clean, without interruptions. Wait, Mikado! We ain't finished talkin'! We're finished. No. Maybe we never really started in the first place. Just tell me one thing. I thought of you as a friend. What did you think of me? What are you talking about? Of course you're my friend. That was never in question. Even now, I still think of you as my friend! Don't you feel the same? If that's true, then it makes this even worse. Yeah, we were friends. Past tense. Why? Just listen to me! Please, just shut up, already! I don't want to end up hating you more than I already do. Next time we meet, it'll be Momotaro versus Oni. No mercy. As a former friend, I'll make it painless when I send you off to the afterlife. Goodbye. I'm saying it now, before the end. The gang's wiped out. The Nerima Momotaro are stepping up security. Which means we're totally on the defensive now. The only thing we gained from this was intel on Mikado, the Momotaro, and his superior. That superior is almost certainly the Momotaro who abducted Kougasaki. The description Kougasaki gave matches perfectly. If superior is accurate, we're talking about a captain. Yeah, and a cunning bastard, at that. The arsons? Probably his work, too. And he's not even a Nerima Momo. How do you know that? They would never involve civilians. The Nerima Momo are a dangerous bunch, but that's a line they don't cross. So basically, the guy who took Kougasaki is a certified piece of shit. I'd bet the fire was meant to target you, Ichinose. They set it up so all the suspicion would land on you. Rather than lure you out, they want to pit you against this Mikado guy. So they made you run into each other at a hellscape to paint you as a ruthless Oni. You really pieced that together. You can smell it, the stink of a bastard's twisted scheme. Thanks to all that, looks like the other side's fired up and ready to go. I think it's safe to assume the info on our hideout has already leaked from Kougasaki somehow. So doesn't that mean we're sitting ducks staying here? The troops were already relocated. We should move to a different hideout, too. Wouldn't be a shock if they came at us any moment now. Ichinose, you got played. Stuff like, "My buddy turned out to be a Momotaro." Yeah, it happens. Though it's not exactly common, either. The hell's so funny? Wipe that smug look off your face! I'm not freakin' out 'cause he's Momotaro! I'm pissed he had the wrong idea, wouldn't hear me out, and looked at me like he wanted me dead! Damn it! Why won't he just listen to me? I don't wanna fight him. You don't want to fight but expect him to hear you out? You moron. Do you know why? It's because you're weak. Who's gonna bother listening to the voice of the weak? What the hell does that mean? Shiki, you know why we Oni fight the Momotaro? 'Cause they're tryin' to make us extinct, right? Yeah, resisting them is part of it, but that's not the real reason. We fight to force them to sit at the negotiation table. Negotiation? A sit-down where both sides, Oni and Momotaro, can find terms they can live with. That's how this war ends. If things keep going like this, both sides will be wrecked. There's a real chance we'll wipe each other out. The worst part is that the Momotaro believe they're "justice," and they think they're superior. To put it plainly, they think they don't have to listen to the weak. That's why we fight, to show them we're strong. We have to make them realize continuing this war won't benefit anyone. Only then will they sit down and consider ending this another way. You get it now? If we don't fight, we're not even allowed at the table. If you're weak, no one listens. The world isn't kind enough to care what the weak have to say. Whatever the reason, right now, you've been misunderstood, and someone's out to kill you. And from that point on... nothing you say is gonna matter if you're not strong enough. Next time we meet, it'll be Momotaro versus Oni. No mercy. Then what the hell am I supposed to do? If you don't fight, you'll just end up dead, branded a monster, nothing more. If you hate that... then fight! Drag them by the ears if you have to, but make them listen. The words of those who won't fight don't reach anyone. If you want them to hear you out, if you want a seat at the table, then grow a damn spine. I still don't get why I have to fight someone I don't want to fight. If we just talked it out, I know he'd understand. Oni really are like bugs. The second we make a move, they scatter like cockroaches. Still, I'm curious why they made a move. What are they planning? So? Something happen on your end? Wow, the mood in here is just so chill, huh? Turns out I was right. No way! So we've got a best-friend deathmatch now? I'd pay to watch that! Excuse me. Could you shut up? Or should I... shut you up myself? Damn. Kid's young, but that bloodlust is sharp as hell. Mikado. I get why you're mad, but cool it. Okay. You definitely pulled some strings behind the scenes. Your manipulation skills really are top-tier. I mean, look at Mikado. He's locked and loaded. I won't push the issue, though. In exchange, I'll be receiving my fair share of combat. That "I see through you" look again. He won't blab, though. Well, all the preparations are in place. Still, time to clean up some trash on the sidelines. I did it! I really did it! Now I just skip the country, goof off for three years, then come back and make bank again! Who the hell is that? Wait, what? I was driving, wasn't I? This is the steering wheel, right? Why all of a sudden? What's happening to my eyes? Naturally, this is Shinya's ability at work. With his left eye, Shinya can observe the visual field of up to 36 people continuously for 24 hours. But with his right, he can force a target to see what he sees. What the hell is this? What's happening? In order words, this punk is seeing through Shinya's eyes right now. S-Stop it! Just to be clear, Shinya never arranged any kind of escape. He intended to kill him from the very beginning. Yeah. Good work. Shinya. You've figured out where the Oni are hiding, haven't you? Yeah. I'm constantly monitoring them visually. I saw them abandon their old base... and I know exactly where the new one is. They've got a hideout nearby. Ichinose should be there, too. Huh? And why the hell were you sitting on that? So what's the plan? We're storming the place. Kill everyone, even the small fry. Naturally, Mudano and Ichinose are there. I'm counting on you two to massacre everyone except Ichinose. Yo, Tsukuyomi... you sure you're good taking on Mudano? Your lucky vibes holding up? No problem. The date's rolled over. Luck's at its peak now. And as for you, Mikado... your job is to kill Ichinose. You can handle that, right? Yes. So, hey, what now? Are we going on the offensive, raid their base or what? Wait, us? You mean we're gonna be the ones to raid them? Of course we are, dumbass. Don't sweat it. I'll watch your back. S-Sorry. I might not be much help. Enough nonsense. We're still playing defense here. Defense again? Lame. Moron. Yeah, we're on the receiving end, but how we take the hit matters. If all their pieces are in place, they'll make their move. A clash with the Momotaro's coming. So what, it's finally our turn? You kids are green. Normally, I'd tell you to stay the hell out of the way, but unless we've got 100% certainty that the Nerima Momotaro are making a move, we can't risk deploying Nerima's Combat Unit. Which means we're counting on you. So I've got just one thing to say. Don't you dare die, you scrappy little punks! Yeah! All right, let's get moving. Let's get hyped! Madam Myorinpa, watch over me! Let's paint the town red... with Oni blood. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate?

Don't you dare die, you scrappy little punks! Yeah! All right, let's get moving. Let's get hyped! Madam Myorinpa, watch over me! Let's paint the town red... with Oni blood. Who will have the last laugh in the end... Momotaro or Oni? Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Are the Oni here? Yeah. You can't escape from me, no matter where you go. It's packed with small fry, too, but that's not a problem. In fact, the more weaklings there are, the more Mudano and the others will be forced to protect them while fighting, which works out nicely for me. It raises the odds I'll get to kill them. Natsu... That is, Ichinose. He's here, too. Come on, now... put away that bloodlust. In your fortune, Mikado, the Eight of Cups card came up. If things go on like this, the outcome might not be good. Maybe what really matters is being willing to let something go. Well, then... charge! Kill them all. There's nobody here. Why? This is definitely the place. Did we get the wrong location? No, they're here. Deeper inside. There's a whole swarm of them. I don't really sense a swarm, though. I said they're here! I can see them, plain as day! Clear as anything in this eye! Why do I see my own back? Yo. Been wanting to see you, bastard. So this is the scum who drags civilians into it. It's written all over your face. You're trash. How? Huh? Shinya, you think maybe... you just got played? How? I know what I saw. So your ability really is peeping, huh? What you saw was VR, idiot. We had our men record the path here and everything inside. And then he just kept watching it on loop. But, you know, we didn't have to go through all that trouble. There were plenty of other ways. If we'd just waited, you would have come to us without any VR nonsense. And yet I picked the most time-consuming method. Know why? Because this is the one that feels the most satisfying. When you kidnapped me, you sure looked like you were having fun. How's it feel now? Consider this my little surprise for you. Come on, smile. Pathetic, Shinya! Well, it works out. Either way, we still get to face each other. So, shall we settle this? He's running away! The bastard bolted! I'll go after him! What a loser. Looks like fighting's not really his strong suit. Shut up! As long as there are noncombatants, I can use them as hostages, but a small-scale fight like this is bad news. Go ahead and laugh! You guys with real fighting power wouldn't understand! I don't care what tricks I use. As long as there are results, I'll do whatever it takes! You're the one guy I'm not gonna let get away! Let's settle this. Settle what? - I— - Don't talk. Didn't I tell you? I don't want to hear what you have to say. Just follow me. I want it to be the two of us alone. You want me to follow, huh? Invisibility. Mudano! Let's pick up where we left off! Hey, I'm next, right? Think again! This is round two. The fight's still on! I guess you forgot how you couldn't even lay a hand on me before. Or maybe you're just plain stupid? I'll give you that. Round one was yours! But there's no way I'm losing round two! And the reason is because you're strong, Mudano! The stronger you are, the more your own strength will crush you! Rebirth's Deluge! Osuke Momokado's ability: Copy. He can replicate any technique he's been hit with, but only abilities from one person in a 24-hour period. That's... I wanted to try this out from the very first time I saw it! Is anyone hurt? N-No, we're fine! Mudano! Come on, let's do this! To put it simply, it's you versus yourself! You guys. I'm leaving him to you all. - Huh? - Huh? You can handle someone like him. What the hell do you mean by that? I've got no interest in cheap copycats. More importantly, it's better to incapacitate this one. How flattering. Did you just call me out? What the hell is that? You're not gonna even fight? Leaving it to these brats, huh? You've gotta be kidding me. In that case... if I butcher these kids, you'll have no choice but to fight me, right? E-Even if we all fight together, I'm not made for combat. What do I do? I still can't control my blood. Oh, crap, I'm gonna die. My stomach hurts. I'm gonna keel over. You don't have to do anything. - I'll— - Step aside. I'll take this one! Since Tsukuyomi's group is on the move, the Nerima Battle Unit will be coming to reinforce us. Hold out until then. Don't even think about trying to take him down. Don't try to take him down? You saying I can't handle it? You think I'm that worthless? Fine, fine. I get it. I'll beat the hell out of him! He's pretty good at riling them up in just the right way. We've got this. Shall we start here, too? No, let's move. It'll make it easier for both of us. Sure. Don't lose. Tch. You lot, fall back. Mudano's gone, and I'm stuck babysitting brats. I thought I'd get to fight Mudano, but instead I'm stuck with kids. You get it? You understand my rage? No? You really don't get it? If you don't get it, then drop dead, you damn fools! Thanks for stepping up. I don't wanna fight. No way. I'm scared out of my mind. Thanks, Yaoroshi. That bastard. Always playing the nice guy, stealing hearts. I'll kill him, even if he is a man. Die. Lose. Die... Why do I feel such a sinister aura right beside me? Die! I'm not scared of any kids! First Mudano, now you. Both of you treating me like I'm nothing! What's today's rage gonna bring forth? Blood Eclipse Release! Devilish Hysteria: Sacred Twin Swords! Wait, twin swords? This is bad. Damn it. Not knowing what I'll pull out next pisses me off every time. Mudano's technique is long range, which means that bastard's gonna keep his distance while attacking. I've gotta find a way to close in. Really close! But if he's coming closer, that works out just fine for me! I'll tear him to shreds! Osuke Momokado's ability is Copy. No wonder the reports were inconsistent. What's he thinking? Throwing away the advantage of his bow to pick a close-range fight? There's one thing in his intel that's been consistent. What is it? An overwhelming talent for hand-to-hand combat. And on top of that, he's strong. This guy's dodging everything without breaking a sweat! You're moving in slow motion! It's boring the hell out of me, you insignificant worm! You're so damn weak, it's not even funny. Why'd you step up? Just some flashy show-off who wants attention? I can't stand boring little gnats like you. I hate your guts. Yaoroshi! Every last one of you pisses me off. The Nerima Battle Unit will be coming to reinforce us. Hold out until then. He ticks me off... but I could kick myself for pulling garbage moves. I can only use my power one more time. Gotta bet it all on that last shot. But if it's another piece-of-shit technique... Boring. Gazing at my nails is more fun than watching you. Die. Drop dead already, Ikari Yaoroshi! What will my final rage bring forth? What the... Wind pressure blew them all away? Where'd that brat go? Hey! You wanted some fun, right? Then I'll give you a show! Now we're talking! This might be more interesting than staring at my nails! Blood wings. Beautiful. Did you just say, "Beautiful"? I'm the one who's beautiful, aren't I? Aren't I? What? This is scary. Aren't I? Or maybe if he dies, you'll look at me... Lovebirds right next to me. It hurts when they flirt. Everyone else is amazing. I'm useless. Just worthless trash. Jackpot! Well, good for you! Thanks to that, I'm fired up, too! Now dance for me! Boldly floating over my head. That's a no-fly zone! Nice! You're actually pretty good! But listen. What are you gonna do about this many? What a blast! Don't you think? If we're birds of a feather, then you feel it, too! Dueling to the death is a thrill! Don't lump me in with the likes of you! - Lose. Lose. Lose. - He's diving in? - What's he planning? - Lose. Lose. Lose. Wow! He's dodging everything! Blow to pieces! You sure about this? An angel flying that low... When an angel draws near the ground... that's when they fall from grace. - Oh, no! - He's falling! Nothing to be ashamed of! I had a hell of a time! To end your life in a fight to the death, what better curtain call is there? I envy you! Damn it. Am I really gonna die here? Hey, Ikari. You're joining us already? It's a little early, isn't it? Am I seeing things? That's right. I haven't forgotten. For every... ...comrade who's fallen, I'll drag a Momotaro bastard down to hell! So until then, I sure as hell won't die! Don't you dare give up! You pathetic runt! What the hell? Once something I generated with Devilish Hysteria is gone, I can't remake it. So I'll pour every last drop of blood into the wing I've got left! Still going? Fine by me! I'll keep you company! Let's dance! Everyone, get down! You'll be caught in it! I love this! Shattered to bits, huh? Roar of the Fallen Angel! You said we were birds of a feather, but you're dead wrong. If I die fighting, I'll accept that. But I wouldn't get any joy out of that. The best thing is to keep winning, isn't it? Being too damn ready to accept your death was your downfall. You thought dying in battle was just another kind of thrill, didn't you? H-He won! Ikari won! Fool. Never underestimate the sheer will of someone who refuses to lose. Yaoroshi! Blood... Hey! Are you okay? No choice! I'll have to give you mouth-to-mouth! Uh, no, it's not that bad. Is Yaoroshi all right? No, this is really bad. His left arm is barely hanging on. Um, with the Oni healing factor, won't he pull through? He doesn't have enough blood. His healing can't keep up. At this rate, he might bleed out and die. No. Anyway, we can't stay here! Let's get him to the Medical Unit! W-Wait. He's alive! He seems barely conscious. We need to move while we can! R-Right! Damn you, Mudano... dumping the babysitting duty on me. The Momotaro troops are on the move. Are they planning to wipe us all out? Action!

So there's a place like this underground. Kyoto had one, too. Do Oni just really like living underground? You'll understand once someone's tried to kill you. Enough talk. Let's begin. Ah, hold on a sec. This bowling ball right here... it's my lucky item for today! Oh, and don't ask where I pulled it from, okay? It's kinda heavy, so I'll just set it down here. Whoops. Whoa! That was close! See? My lucky item saved me! Thank you, Madame Myorinpa! That made it a heavy haul, but I persevered, bringing it all the way here. I can't begin to thank you enough. This is why you're the master, Madame Myorinpa. I'll follow you forever! Think you can beat someone whose fortune's at its peak?

I've got no interest in it. But I can't stand people who meddle with others' fates. Hey, hey, relax. The night's still young. Damn it. Too bad. What was that vision just now? Why did I let my guard down? You moved 0.3 seconds too slow. Ragnarok: The Eight of Swords. The power of the Eight of Swords is restraint. Once you're caught by fate's blade, there's no escaping it. I can't move. That starry sky you saw was from the Star card. It has a relaxing effect. That dreamy sky made you drop your guard for just a moment. And that moment was all the opening I needed. Ragnarok. He wields power through tarot cards... each drawn card determining the ability that manifests. Looks like the dawn of the end is near. My, my. Seems even God wants to see my checkmate. The Chariot card. Well, naturally, you blocked it. My arms are free. He can use multiple cards at once? How long can you keep that up? More good luck for me. My good fortune pierces right through your misfortune. See? You're starting to crack. And through those cracks, your bad luck peers out. Oh, time's up, huh? The restraint is gone. So there's a time limit. Barely dodged that one. But even if you avoided that, you won't dodge this next one. Oh, there goes my Chariot. But no problem. I've already drawn a new card. Touched you. What the? My body's moving in slow motion. The Four of Swords. You're a sluggish turtle for five whole seconds. Do you think five seconds is short? The answer is no. It's more than enough time to lower the curtain on your life. What a flawless fortune! Oh? Not dead yet? Impressive. But you're not quite as strong as the stories say. Legends always get a little exaggerated, don't they? I'll be the one to put an end to your legend. What? What's happening? What did you do? What did you do to my body? Mudano! You've been standing in a rain of blood this whole time. What? I've been making it rain so finely you couldn't even see it. That invisible blood soaked in and ate away at your organs bit by bit. That's all. Drunk on your own superiority, I suppose you didn't notice your clothes getting filthier and filthier? Yeah, I got careless. If I'd realized it, this never would have happened. If the rain was that fine, I could have read the wind and dodged it. Sorry, but I'm gonna have to speed things up! Knight of Swords! Honestly, what an ill-mannered horse. Hurting yourself with your own ability? So you pulled a reversed one this time? You know about that? In tarot, every card has an upright and a reversed position. A reversed draw generally means something unfavorable. And Tsukuyomi is no exception to that rule. When Ragnarok's luck is high, the cards are drawn upright. When fortune turns against him, reversals come more easily. He can draw up to three cards at once, but once they're drawn, reversed or not, he has to use them before he can draw again. In your own words, maybe you'd say, "Lady Luck's finally smiling on me." God can be fickle at times. The Seven of Wands... reversed! This can't hold up against a reversal. Damn it. I had my lucky item. I even prayed. I've trusted in fortune, trusted in God all this way. And yet God still turns His back on me? Fine, then. I'll make God look my way! The Devil, reversed! Not every reversal carries misfortune! Sometimes a reversed card brings good luck! The Devil, reversed. Liberation from suffering. A turn toward the desired path. With this, God has finally turned His gaze toward me. He'll never look at another man again. Strength, upright. God's eyes are locked on me now. You can't rollerblade forever! How long do you plan to keep running? This is the end, Mudano! You think that can block it? Pierced straight through! It didn't reach me. You used my lucky item? It was nearby, so I borrowed it. Too bad. Looks like it wasn't really that lucky for you after all. I made the umbrella less dense and let the ball take the hit. See, I conserved my blood for this. What is it? Okami-no-kami. This is bad. I have to draw another card, fast! Abyssal Darkwater. My body's a wreck. Can't even move anymore. If you're going to kill me, make it quick. I'm not going to kill you. That's not my goal. Doesn't sound like the words of the man they call the Hundred Slayer. I'm not the same as I was back then. Hmph. I see. That explains a lot. You're the one who killed Tsubakiri, aren't you? Or no. To be exact, you just delivered the final blow. Tsubakiri's death report mentioned severe burns all over his body and other fatal wounds, but the direct cause of death was a stab wound to the heart. He probably sustained mortal injuries in his fight with Shiki Ichinose. He would have died anyway. Yet you chose to finish him off. It's almost like you didn't want to stain Ichinose's hands with blood. That would certainly demonstrate how you've mellowed out compared to the old days. That's none of your concern. If it's true, then you've gotten awfully soft. I don't entirely hate that kind of softness. So I lost. It's refreshing, sure, but I can't pretend it doesn't sting. I'll challenge you again, without a doubt. And of course, I'll stake my life on it again. This time, God chose your victory, but next time, I'll be the one who wins. Nonsense. I'll never let some god decide my fate. Don't do that. Denying even my identity... I can lose, but I don't want to lose everything. It's almost like you didn't want to stain Ichinose's hands with blood. I won't allow him to kill out of immaturity. He needs to learn to decide of his own will whether to save a life or take one. Teaching him that is my job. Vice Captain Osuke! Are you all right? You're badly hurt, sir! Vice Captain, hang in there! Call the medical unit now! It's not... over yet. There's no one left, sir! They're gone? You've gotta be... kidding me. The Oni Battle Unit's on its way here! Then... I'll go fight them instead. No! If we leave him, he'll die! Let's carry him out! Put him on my back! Put me down, damn it. I'm not letting go! I said put me down, damn it! I'm not putting you down! I look up to you and the captain, Vice Captain! Don't you dare die such a lousy death! Get back here! Persistent bastard! If I hit the main street like this and get caught in a crowd, the higher-ups will notice for sure. You're not getting away! He went up. Fine by me! He's already leapt to the next building! But I can catch up! What the hell am I seeing? This ain't my view! Fall! Damn, my eyes are burning. Used my power too many times in a row! I'll be damned if I let him get away. He's the one bastard I'm gonna make pay. Quit tailing me already! I've got you cornered. Why couldn't you just die like you were supposed to, you asshole? Damn trash, using your head like you're all clever. Follow the plan and die according to the plan, that's all you had to do! I was this close to making it work! You gonna kill me now? Huh? That's right. Because I'm a Momotaro? That's part of it. But more than that, you drag too many people into your mess. Why'd you involve kids? Why'd you pull in innocent people at all? Your job's supposed to be protecting civilians. Scum like you has no right to call me trash! Who gives a shit? I don't give a damn who dies or what happens to 'em! I'll do whatever it takes to climb higher. Everything else can burn for all I care! Kids? Who cares, you idiot? If killing a few brats gets me promoted, I'll do it with a smile! Protect civilians, huh? What a joke! Not every Momotaro thinks like that! Hell, I'd be grateful if the Oni wiped out more people! That's right! Kill more civilians! Kill 'em! Kill 'em! So when I finally put that Oni down, my reputation's gonna skyrocket! Watching him reminds me of who I used to be not long ago. What if she needs emergency treatment? What then? That's not my problem. Not your problem, huh? I don't like discriminating against students... but I really hate types like you. Now I understand why Mudano snapped at me back then. I can't stand people like you! You can't be allowed to live! For the sake of the Oni and humans alike. And I'm the one who's gonna kill you! You want a promotion, huh? Be happy. You'll get two of them when you're dead. Stay the hell away from me! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Me, getting beat by some brat like this? No way! Where the hell did I screw up? No, there's no way I messed up. That can't be right. Pathetic. At least have the decency to go out with some dignity. It can't be. It can't! Not supposed to be this way! I just can't believe it!

You'd prefer it this way, wouldn't you? Better than dying buried under all that dirt. At least I'll lay you to rest under the open sky. You don't get a damn thing. The moon was beautiful earlier, but now it's hidden behind clouds. What a shame. Hey! At least listen to me for once! Let's not. You didn't come all the way up here just to chat, did you? You've got it all wrong! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding. Convenient word. Burning the hospital down. A misunderstanding. Trying to kill a child. A misunderstanding. Killing those punks. Also a misunderstanding. Are you mocking me? I'm tellin' you, it's not like that! I tried to stop it! But by the time I got there, it had already happened! Man, using me as both monitor and backup for an emergency... I should probably get a bit closer, but if I do, he'll notice. That brat, Mikado... has razor-sharp senses, like a damn animal.

I really tried to believe in you to the very end. Until that night I saw you at the hideout. Just listen to me already! I won't listen! I feel like an idiot for ever believing you. But what infuriates me most is that you used me... to kill children and thugs alike! Trampling on someone's feelings... that's a grave sin. Yamata no Orochi. So he's using his guns after all. Wait, Mikado! I'm not done talkin'! I missed on purpose. There's something you need to do before you die. Repent your sins and confess. Don't take your lies to the grave. Screw that! I'm not apologizing! I haven't done a damn thing to apologize for! I see. You've disappointed me! He's seriously tryin' to kill me. I've gotta calm him down somehow, or this is gonna turn into a bloodbath. Hey... that night at the festival, did you approach me knowing I was a Momotaro? Huh? Hell no! Every word that comes out of your mouth, I can only hear it as a lie now. Guess it's already too late. He's even started doubting how we first met. I get why he'd wanna doubt me. But still, he really can't trust me at all? Okay. I see. So in your eyes, I'm not your friend anymore, just your enemy. You can repent in hell. Yeah, fine, then. I get it. You've got no intention of hearing me out! Then I'll make you listen. Blood Eclipse Release! If I have to beat it into you, then so be it! Idiot! Closing in with all the confidence in the world. It can't be. It can't! Not supposed to be this way! I just can't believe it! Unbelievable! Die, dumbass! I planted small bombs in some of these tiles. Small enough to keep me from getting caught in the blast, but with enough impact to blow off his leg. I'd love to kill him right now, but I need to pull out while I still can. I'll regroup, and next time, I'll make damn sure he dies. No matter what! You're a filthy bastard. That's why it was easy to figure out. Guys like you always have some kind of trick up your sleeve. You dragged all kinds of people into this mess. And then you laughed at them. Can't breathe. This is what it gets you. Pathetic. Go to hell and think about what you've done. Don't look at me like that! I don't want to die! I don't want to die here! Can't breathe! Die? No! I don't want to die yet! I'm going to climb higher! I'll make every bastard who ever looked down on me eat their words! When people are born, God hands them a set of cards, and those cards decide their lives. You can't trade them with anyone else. Those who draw overwhelming talent get to walk through life with ease. But the cards I was dealt didn't hold any overwhelming talent. From the moment I was born, even God had turned His back on me. At the Momotaro Agency, that difference was crystal clear. I had no talent or athletic ability. I was just another below-average Momotaro. The first thing they told me when I joined was... Do your best to support from the rear. It was the same as being told from the start that I'd never rise above anyone. The younger, talented ones mocked me, used me, and looked down on me. They didn't even bother remembering my name. I swore I'd make every last one of them choke on their pride. Those with combat-type abilities strutted through the spotlight without even putting in real effort. Just wait and see! How many times did I whisper that to myself? I turned my jealousy and hatred toward the gifted into my driving force. And so I faced my own ability head-on. I asked myself what I had to do to rise higher with it. I made a classified request to enhance my ability, training relentlessly... pushing to extend its duration and the number of people I could perceive. The training was brutal. I didn't even have time to sleep. But along the way, I realized something. This ability had its limits. What an idiot. Weakling! God, you never even bothered to look my way, did you? So no matter how dirty my hands get, as long as no one finds out, it doesn't matter, right? I crossed the line to climb higher. I used every method I could... dug up weaknesses, stole personal info, and bent people to my will. Even if it cost lives, I didn't care. Once your hands are stained, they'll never be clean again. But I have no regrets. There was no other path left for me. All that effort finally paid off. I rose to the rank of captain, the one they said I could never reach. Watching the bastards who used to look down on me suddenly grovel was the greatest feeling in the world. But it still wasn't enough. I'd make every last one of those turds realize how blind they'd been. To do that, I had to climb higher. Higher and higher! That's what I thought. And now I'm being brought down by some damn kid! It's always the same. The ones with talent are the ones who get in my way. Why? Why can't I just have this? I worked my ass off without an ounce of talent. What's so wrong with getting a bit of blood on my hands? I... wanted it, too. That natural gift! Next time... Next time, it won't end like this! In my next life, I swear... I'll draw... a true talent! Shinya never knew it, but for other Momotaro born without talent, he'd become a symbol of hope. Even without a powerful ability, his rise to captain of a frontline unit inspired many who saw him. He didn't walk a path anyone would praise. But he never stopped looking upward. A man who fought on, wrestling with questions of talent and worth. Shinya Momoiwa, dead at age 28. This is a futile battle. Then I'll use force... to make you listen! I won't waste my ears on nonsense! He's using his guns like boosters? That kid Mikado is really something. Even while moving at that speed, he's still locked right on to Ichinose. Shit! This is bad. By controlling multiple guns at once... he can anticipate where Ichinose will move and cut him off before he even gets there. In other words, there's no escape. He's got me pinned down! Maybe I should increase the power a bit. To handle multiple guns at once at that age and even adjust their power? He must have been born with a whole different level of killer instinct. That's what they call a prodigy. He's gonna shatter my gun at this rate. I need to move. Remake it while I still can. No escape. Maybe it's still not enough power. Crap! Whoa! That was overkill! Compared to Mikado, Ichinose's control over his output is sloppy as hell. Keep firing like that, and you'll be anemic in no time. Did I hit him? He's gone? Where the hell did he go? You're weak, Ichinose. He's completely outmatched. Ichinose doesn't stand a chance. So that's the Oni's regenerative power. Damn it! We both use guns, yet I can only summon one. Wait. Why the hell did I just assume I could only make one? If Mikado can do it, there's no damn reason I can't! Idiot! I've been holding myself back this whole time! The difference in our power should be obvious, and yet... that fire in his eyes hasn't gone out? I can be... like Mikado, too. Come on, manifest! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Damn it, manifest already! What are you doing? Crap! That was close! Why won't it work? One gun comes out just fine. Damn it! How the hell does he do it? Think! Come on, think! Think, damn it! No good! I've got nothin'! Damn it! I've gotta hit back! Thinking ahead's never been Ichinose's strong suit. Nuts! Defense and distraction, huh? Pathetic. Admit defeat already. Do that, and for old times' sake, I'll kill you quick. That hurt. That? This rock is kinda shaped like a gun. Better than nothing. He's smiling. What's he planning? Feels right in my hand. But still, nothing's comin' out. What's different between me and Mikado? How the hell does he do it? I don't know what you think you're doing, but... Six guns? You really are incredible, Mikado. If you don't admit defeat, you'll be torn apart. Like hell I will! I don't do anything I can't believe in! You're as stubborn as ever! Takes one to know one! Action!

What's he thinking? Conjuring multiple guns isn't easy. It's like the "dominant hand rule." Try writing with your nondominant hand. It's never neat. Same principle. It's only natural he can't get the hang of it right away. For a weapon-materialization type like him, he's gotta train with handling multiple real weapons first before trying to control multiple blood weapons at once. Even then, it takes insane mental strength, focus, and imagination. Six guns at once, though? Gives me chills. Shiki Ichinose isn't the kind of guy who fights with his head. You can multiply zero brains by anything. It still comes out zero. If he tries copying a genius, he's gonna die. This is really bad. I can't feel my right arm! His regeneration can't keep up. Maybe this is where he hits his limit. I've gotta regroup. How the hell do I— No, I just need to move, anything! I told you, didn't I? You're weak. This outcome was inevitable. Farewell. Your heartbeat's melody ends here. Huh? Am I dying? Why the hell am I trying this hard? Why am I even trying to pull out another gun? I don't need to copy Mikado to fight. I just have to do it my own way. No, that's not it. I know. I... look up to Mikado. I admire his strength. Man... I wish I could be like you, too. If I were, things wouldn't have turned out this damn pathetic. If I were stronger, I could stop more kids like Mei from ending up like that. Even my dad... he wouldn't have had to die. Yeah. Yeah, that's it! I just wanna be stronger! Like Mikado... No. Stronger than Mikado! This is... Stronger than Mikado! Getting to meet someone like you, someone who made me feel this way, seriously, I'm a happy guy! So this is... Enki. That guy... he just materialized two guns. Sure, the power of Enki is backing him up... but once you get the hang of it, you've got it for good. Let's see where this goes next. When Mikado pointed his gun at me, I realized something. His weapons were crafted down to the smallest detail. To make something real, you've gotta picture it piece by piece, as if you're building it from scratch. Never thought all those times I took apart airsoft guns would pay off here. But I'm still stuck at two guns, damn it. Face to face, I can feel it on my skin. An overwhelming pressure, like my blood's about to boil. But so what? That's no reason to run! Block it like your life depends on it! 'Cause you'll die if you don't! It feels like I'm burning from both inside and out. If I underestimate him, I'll be turned to ash. From here on out, I'm going all-in! Sorry to keep you waiting. I must have been so weak, it bored you, huh? Now we can fight as equals. Equals? My friend... don't you dare die on me! Don't make me laugh! You're out of your league! In a gunfight, meeting head-on in a straight line isn't ideal... so... I'll attack from an angle you can't reach! How? How are you up there? He's melted the concrete with his heat and jammed his feet right into it. Now I can pull that off, too! The power's incredible, but... ...your output's so huge, it makes your trajectory easy to read. You're kidding me! Which means it's easy to dodge! He's right. There's got to be balance between strength and control. Can I even do that? Yeah, I can! All I did was picture every detail, and now all these images are flooding into my head! I can do this. I can do this! I can do it! Even holding back, that power's amazing. And those flames, what a nuisance. He's developing fast. Thinkers pick things up quickly, but they take time to master them. Meanwhile, instinctive types take longer to grasp the basics. But once they do, they adapt fast, especially when it's a friend who spurs it on. Hell yeah! How's that? Nothing to get cocky about. An RPG? Oh, crap! This is seriously bad! Close one. A homing type? No response. He shouldn't be dead from a single hit. Did he aim short on purpose? Shit! I'm fallin'! Damn it! Let go of that! Weirdly enough, this fight ain't half bad, huh? Feels like I've still got more left to give. Laughing in the middle of a fight. You're insane. What are you talking about? Mikado Momodera had always been cool and detached. His strength had never once made him burn with passion. And then, one day, Shiki Ichinose appeared before him. Without a doubt, this man would set Mikado's heart ablaze. You're smilin', too, aren't you? Hey, Mikado. When I'm with you, I feel like I can keep growin' stronger. I wanna be that kind of person for you, too. Uh-oh. He's going berserk? So heavy... He's on a whole different level from before. There's no opening to counter. It's unlike any other Oni's rampage. Pure, mindless slaughter. This is an Oni? No. This is a demon! Looks like the Kishin power went over capacity. Even with my full defense, this much damage... Is this as far as I go? Mikado... kill... me. Or else... I'll... kill... you. Kill me... before I... lose it... completely. Please... hurry. He's still conscious? I don't wanna... kill my friend. Kill... me! Hey, dumbass Momo, listen up. I'll draw Ichinose away. In the meantime, haul your wrecked body up and finish this. The worst-case scenario is he goes down into the city. Civilians will die. I don't care what you think. Get up and blast him. Shoot like you mean to kill him. Otherwise you won't stop him. But if you really do kill Ichinose, I'll kill you. You're contradicting yourself. But you're right. We can't involve civilians. In this condition, I need to prep. Give me five minutes. Get ready quick. We don't have time to waste. You don't need to tell me. But I can't promise you won't catch flak, too. Cocky for someone who's got one foot in the grave. Well, then, let's see how far a so-called noncombatant can go. This is gonna sting. Bring it on, brat! Can you see me with those peepers? Damn. Can't even get close. Guess I'll focus on keeping his attention. Still, though... it's cruel. To still be conscious while in a berserk state. Run... away. I really... will... kill you. It'd probably be easier if you'd just give in to the rage and black out. But that willpower of yours, that stubborn fight against losing yourself... Run... away. ...I won't let it be in vain, jackass. I've never heard of an Oni in berserk mode still being conscious! He's crying. Berserk Oni are supposed to be mindless weapons. Killing them is the right thing to do, or so I thought. Then why is he crying? Doesn't that mean he still has awareness? Feelings? Could it be all the Oni I've killed before... were crying, too? Then how much pain must that be... wanting not to hurt anyone, yet ending up hurting everyone around you? Even through that pain... you still worried about me. Even as you cried... You've always been so honest and so kind. I don't wanna... kill my friend. Even after losing himself... he still called me his friend. I'm such a fool! It must hurt. It must be unbearable. Ichinose... No, Shiki! I'll end your suffering with my own hands. Unreal. Even when I disappear from sight, he tracks me with his other senses. Shit! You've gotta be kidding me. Damn it. Of all things, my leg. What a pain in the ass. If he takes him out, he'll come for me next. What do I do? I'm still not ready. The more I think about it, the more hopeless it feels. This is why I hate babysitting kids. Run. I'm a disgrace. Ichinose... don't feel guilty about my death. What's with that peaceful look? You planning to retire to the afterlife already? Sorry I'm late. Your dramatic entrance pisses me off. No need for a status report. I've got a pretty good idea what's going on. So when are you planning to fire that thing? Showing up out of nowhere and acting all high and mighty, huh? I'm ready. Fire... I have to fire. There's no way to save him except death to free him from his pain. At least let it be by my hand! Mi... Mikado... Feeling this way makes me a failure as a Momotaro. But I don't care anymore. Momotaro, Oni, none of that matters! This is the will of me, Mikado Momodera, as a person! Please. Please. Please... don't die! Don't die! Don't you die on me! Don't die! Thank... you. Sure. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate?

Kaoru, perfect timing. Captain! Your leg! Shiki... He's still breathing, barely. Idiots like him are supposed to be this tough. Take Ichinose to the Medical Unit. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah. For the sake of Ichinose's honor, let me make one thing clear. The hospital fire was started by your— I know. When I saw the power of the Enki, I realized it. If Shiki had really been the culprit, it wouldn't have ended with just a simple fire like that. Oh, yeah? Well, whatever. My stamina's gone. I can't fight for a while. Guess it's your lucky day. You can kill me easily. I'm not going to kill you. Huh? You're not gonna kill me? Why? Your goal is to bring the Momotaro to the negotiating table? That's right. We'll use force if necessary, but only the bare minimum. We're not trying to wipe out the Momotaro. So that's what you've been thinking. I see. But still... to make that happen, there's a huge wall standing in the way. After seeing Shiki's rampage, I could sense how dangerous things really are. If Momotaro and Oni are to coexist, I believe these rampages must be resolved. Didn't need you to tell me that. But it's complicated. Let's go, Mudano. Wait, please! Please tell Shiki I'm sorry. Apologies don't mean anything unless they come from your own mouth. But how am I supposed to look him in the eyes? I did something unforgivable to him. He probably doesn't even want to see me again. He's a simpleton, but he understands people's feelings. What matters is how you face him. I'm not passing along your apology. That's all. What can I do? He's used too much blood. Regeneration can't keep up! - Stop the bleeding! Now! - Yes, sir! His breathing and pulse are weakening! The bleeding's getting worse! I hope Shiki and Yaoroshi will be okay. That dumbass. Acts all high and mighty, then nearly gets himself killed. Captain, you should get treated, too. I can wait. Kaoru... You're taking over as the next Captain. I'm too lazy for handovers and all that, so just take the reins. Huh? With this leg, I can't fight in the field anymore. I've always known this day would come. It just happened to be today. What's with the gloomy faces? What are you doing here? What do you mean, what am I doing? The battlefield called to me... ...so I came! Surprised? Hey, Danny! Still looking dead in the eyes, huh? Oh, cute kid! If you get hurt, say something right away, okay? Terrible posture, though, like a cat. Masu! Long time no see. Wait, what happened to your right leg? It's gone! I used to think you just never changed your expression, but turns out you really are a robot. Still can't shut up, can you? I'll fix your leg later, too, Masu. But first, let's heal the promising young ones, shall we? Hey there, everyone! Kyoya's here to save the day! Doctor! Dr. Oiranzaka! All right, let's keep that blood coming! As long as I'm here, no one's future is gonna get stolen. If I had a cooler head, maybe I would have realized... that this was all your doing. I let my own weakness show. Tsukuyomi's fortune telling said someone needed to be weeded out, but that person was you, not Shiki. Your deeds are unforgivable. At the very least, repent for your sins in the afterlife. But... the way you kept pushing forward was truly admirable. Huh? Where am I? M-Morning. The flirtatious physician? Even I get worn out sometimes. What are you doing here? And, damn, you look exhausted! You're loud the second you wake up! Yaoroshi, too? What are you doin' here? Looks like he's awake! Shiki, are you okay? Can't believe you even recovered from that! Was it really that bad? Yeah, man, straight-up nightmare material. Seriously? My memory's all spotty. But I feel like I'm startin' to remember. I'm so, so sorry! Sliding grovel! I remember now! I blew your leg off! I'm really, really sorry! Better be, you little punk. It's healed? Forget my leg. The problem is that you lost control. One wrong move, and a lot of civilians would have died... all because you're weak in both body and mind. We were lucky, and no one died this time. But next time, you will kill someone. And don't forget this, all of you. You each have the power to easily take a life. And if you lose control, that power will turn on everything around you indiscriminately. Never forget how terrifying that truly is. So get stronger. Strong enough that you'll never have to rely on losing control again. Yes, sir. Well, at least this means you don't have to retire. Tch! Just when I was looking forward to finally taking it easy. Dr. Oiranzaka's ability really is incredible. He completely healed Shiki's wounds. Me? It was thanks to Shiki's own recovery ability. It's extraordinary. I think it's connected to Kishin's blood. Actually, that's what I came here to talk to you about. It's a bit of a complicated topic. Want to talk one-on-one? Huh? Tell me more. I'm curious about this "Kishin blood." It's fine by me if we talk about it here. Got it. Okay. There's plenty to talk about, but let's start with the basics, what exactly Kishin blood is. The origin of all Oni, the Kishin. And those who inherited the Kishin blood are called the Children of Kishin. And, Shiki, that's what you are. What? Shiki's parents were Kishin? That's awesome! Nah, I don't know anything about my biological parents. Sorry! That was super insensitive of me! It's fine. All Oni, at the root, descend from the Kishin's scattered seed. If you trace it back far enough, we're all connected to the Kishin. Among Oni every so often, a child is born that Kishin's blood manifests in more strongly than the rest. They say one appears whenever Oni are on the brink of extinction, but the details are unclear. The Kishin's blood manifests in eight distinct traits. Yours is the trait of fire. You're what we call an Enki, a Flame Oni. Enki... The Kishin's traits are extraordinary. They say the power of a Child of Kishin rivals or even surpasses that of the berserk state. Huh? But I felt stronger when I was berserk. That's because you've only been using about 10% of your Enki power. Ten percent? Yeah, it's not like you can suddenly use it fully right off the bat. You'll need to grow stronger, both in mind and body. Oh, and one more thing. Compared to other Oni, your regeneration is also much faster. That's probably why your wounds healed up so perfectly this time. Straight-up cheat-level stuff. Yeah, it's basically a cheat power. But that abnormal strength comes at a price. Every Child of Kishin in history has died young. Think of that immense power as something given in exchange for your lifespan. If you overuse it, you could die as early as your teens. It's not uncommon. So, yeah, maybe try not to go overboard. As long as you don't depend too much on the Kishin power, you'll be fine. Way too casual! Just being a Child of Kishin makes you a target for the Momotaro. And the more you're targeted, the more often you'll end up having to use that power. Damn, seriously? Again, as long as you don't overuse it, you'll probably be fine. No need to get so down about it. Oh, wait! I just remembered. I got carried here completely naked! Huh? That means everyone saw me! Wha? Can't believe you don't even have any hair down there. Don't talk about it! You're seriously hairless? I'm not! It just burned off, okay? Homare! I don't have any, either. What do you think about that? What? What about you? Let's see yours. Huh? What woman will want me? Glad to see he's still got some spirit. Not so sure about that. Dying in my teens, huh? Don't tell me you're sulking. That's not like you. Don't scare me, jackass! And for the record, I'm not sulking! What are you even talking about? I don't have Kishin's power. But I'm gonna get strong enough to crush the Momotaro without ever needing it. You should get strong enough that you don't need to rely on that kind of power, either. Getting depressed over something so simple is pathetic. What's this? You here to cheer me up? You? Are you plotting something? Yeah, right, pubeless! I'll kill you! You little... Jeez. Annoying jerk. Finally heading home, eh? Good riddance. Finally heading home, eh? Good riddance. Doctor Dude, you goin' back to Kyoto? Nah, not this time. I'm the new school doctor at Rasetsu Academy starting today. You'll be seeing a lot of me! Wait, what? I'm worried you'll make a move on a student. I can't help it. Doing the wrong thing's just more exciting. Yeah, more like he'll be there to keep an eye on Ichinose. If we go down from here, we can leave without being seen. Guess that's goodbye to Nerima, then. See ya! You blow off someone's leg and still have the nerve to smile on your way out? Don't ever come back. I'm sorry! This guy... he'll probably keep griping forever, but still, come visit again sometime. Let's just make sure we live long enough to meet again. Kaoru, stay sharp! Huh? Wait, that's... Mikado? Kaoru, how many Momotaro are around us? Actually, there aren't any. He's the only one here. Mikado! Hey, you! Mikado! Because of your damn misunderstanding, I went through hell, you know that? Yeah, I lost control, fine, but if you hadn't been tricked in the first place, none of that would have happened! You act all smart, but when it really counts, you're a total idiot! Moron! He's right. Because of my own incompetence, I put everyone through so much pain. An apology isn't enough. But still... my consciousness was fading in and out then, but I can at least say this. I could hear your voice, you know. Please... don't die! Hearin' that made me really happy. You spoke from the heart, and I think that's why I was able to fight back against the berserk state 'til the very end. Sorry, man. You saved me. Shiki... you're such a warm person. I'm sorry! Don't sweat it! We'll meet again, yeah? We definitely will. I already know what I have to do. Quite the flashy defeat, huh? Guess for us both. Shut up. Don't be so touchy. I ain't touchy! But the fortunate thing is we're still alive. This way! Wait up! Whoa. I'm sorry! No, my bad. Are you okay? Yeah! I'm fine! Good. Papa! I'm hungry! I'm starving, too. Well, we're all alive and getting out of the hospital, so how about we celebrate with a big meal? Pancakes! Hamburg steak! You know something? As long as you're alive, you can always try again. And I assume you have revenge in mind? Bet your ass I do! How long does the friggin' tunnel go on for? I don't know. Training starts again tomorrow. That sucks! Why didn't we just finish off that Momotaro back there, huh? I'm not ready to leave Tokyo yet! Homare! Let's go to Destinyland! - Okay? Yeah? - Uh, what? You're tired, huh, Rokuro? I'll give you a massage when we get back. All night long. - N-No, I'm fine. - Don't be shy. You're standing a little too close. You guys sure have fun, huh, Danny? Quiet, all of you. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate? This charming little sparring match Good or evil, none of it matters Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think - Hara - I'm so crazy? - Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh If I told Dad I'm actually going to school, even sorta, he'd probably be pleased. Wait, they made a Momotaro's grave here at the Oni base? That's surprisingly chill of them. Whoa! Professor Mudano! He's got a tattoo? Maybe I'll get a closer look. Hold it right there. Huh? Doctor Dude! Hey there. Don't go bothering Danny right now. He's at the graveyard. You know what that means. Yeah, guess you're right. That's a blackout tattoo, isn't it, the kind that's mostly solid black ink? Oh, you know your stuff. That's awesome! Is it like, all over his body? Pretty much, yeah. But he says it's still unfinished. Unfinished, huh? Then when it's done, I wanna see it! I don't think Danny ever wants that tattoo to be finished. Huh? Why not? Because that tattoo gets added to every time one of his comrades dies. In other words, every step closer that tattoo gets to being finished means another comrade has died. Maybe it's so he never forgets, or maybe it's his way of punishing himself. Danny's a tough cookie, right? No question. I think it's because he wants you to grow stronger so you can keep on living. If you can see his strictness as another form of care, that'd make me happy, as Danny's friend. I hate inefficiency. Oni blood is powerful but hard to control. When you go berserk, you lose both your self and your memory. And you destroy everything in the process. A knife in the hands of the ignorant is a terrifying thing. Kill me if you want. If you succeed, you graduate instantly, and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. If you die chasing your goal, it's meaningless. Live for your goal. If you hate that, then fight. Drag them by the ears if you have to, but make them listen. The words of those who won't fight don't reach anyone. Professor Mudano! I'm not gonna die! I'll get so damn strong that nobody around me ever dies again! Sorry, but that tattoo of yours is stayin' unfinished forever! So yeah. You can be as strict as you want from now on. I can handle it! Don't shout in a graveyard. It's inappropriate. That's his way of showing affection, huh? No, that was just a normal warning. What?

CR 2026-09-27 ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E01.en-US Senpai! Do you know what you're doing? If you don't dispose of that thing, you'll surely regret it! Sorry, Samidare. Senpai! I have faith that this is no mistake. Long ago, there were terrifying and ruthless Oni. They delighted in butchering humans and destroying everything they could. However... there was one man who opposed them. His name was Momotaro. Momotaro stormed Onigashima and defeated countless Oni. That was just the beginning of the war between Momotaro and the Oni. I'm starvin'. What do you wanna get? Ramen, of course. ICHINOSE LIQUOR STORE We just had it yesterday! Yesterday was tonkotsu ramen. Today... Why the hell are you calling me like this? Huh? You heard? Yeah, that's right! I got expelled! Isn't that hilarious? Don't sweat it. I was already sick of those jerks anyway. If anything, sorry for butting into your solo fight. Oh, don't be so grim! I'm hanging up, loser! Expelled, huh? Now what? Eh, whatever. Shiki! A fist to the head? You got expelled?! What the hell, you idiot?! Explain yourself, you dumbass of a son! Shut up! Who the hell cares? Did you just yell, "Shut up, moron!" at your father?! I didn't call you a moron. Seriously, what's with all these damn weapons? We run a liquor store, not a gun shop! Shut up! What's it to you? I heard your clientele is shrinking again, Pops. Shut up! Stay outta grown-up business! Yeah, real grown-up of you. What a joke. An expelled punk acting all high and mighty! I'll never end up like you. My only damn relief is that we're not blood-related. Hey! Don't say crap like that. Hello. Ichinose Liquor Store. Beer delivery? Yeah, you got it! I'll head out right away! Damn it... Dumbass kid. Wish some rich guy had taken me in instead. Huh? What the hell? Ow... The hell is going on? So you're Shiki Ichinose, huh? Shiki! Get in! ICHINOSE LIQUOR STORE Hey, Pops! What the hell are you doing? Just get in! Hey! Damn it! The only option left might be skipping the country. Pops, did you borrow from some shady loan shark or something? That's still no reason to run a guy over! Doesn't matter! He's not dead! He looked dead to me! There's no time. Listen carefully. I'm only gonna say this once! Idiot! Keep your eyes on the road! Shiki... you... are a descendant of the Oni. And that guy back there... he's descended from Momotaro. Huh? Why are you joking around at a time like this? I get it. It's hard to believe. But... Pops! He's already caught up to us! What the hell is this? Shit! Damn it! What the hell is going on? Shiki! We've gotta get out of here! Shiki? Shiki! Oni blood makes you nothing but a pest to humanity. Exterminating those pests is our job. We are the Momotaro Agency. How could you still be alive? The Momotaro fairy tale was all real. For thousands of years, Momotaro and the Oni have been at war, passing down the fight from generation to generation. Eventually, the Momotaro descendants banded together and formed what's now the Momotaro Agency. Out of fear, the Oni began hiding among humans. What the hell are you talking about? You stay put. From here on out, it's time for the adults. Pops! This black mist is a unique trait only possessed by those of Momotaro blood. It's been a while, Senpai. We've both aged, huh? Tsuyoshi Momogawara, formerly with the Momotaro Agency. Don't call me by that name! Pops? My old man's a Momotaro? I'm Tsuyoshi Ichinose. Even if you've changed your name, it doesn't change the fact that you're a Momotaro. You haven't forgotten just how dangerous Oni truly are, have you? You sheltered an Oni, Senpai. For that, you'll be eliminated as well. Like hell! What the hell? One thing after another. None of it makes sense. Why are you protecting an Oni? Why? They're monsters who do nothing but harm humans! Shut the hell up! Why didn't you ever tell me? Pops! Senpai... you really thought you could beat me after all I've survived since you walked away? You bastard! Get over here! I'll freakin' kill you! No need to tell me. Why go this far? Why would you protect that Oni? Why, huh? You think a father needs a damn reason? Of course I'd protect him! He's my son! He hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't hurt anyone. And you'd kill an innocent kid just because of what's in his blood? Shut up. Tell me. Could you hold your own child with those hands you've used to kill and kill again? Shut up! Pops... Why am I just hanging here, watching? Why is Pops the one getting hurt? Wasn't I the one he was trying to kill? Why? That bastard... Why'd he hurt my Pops? I'll freakin' kill him. I'll kill him. I'll kill him. I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll kill you! He's awakened. Oni fight by manipulating blood. But that's not what's truly terrifying about them. The reason we kill Oni is because of their uncontrollable savagery and the loss of their humanity! Damn Oni scum! What the hell happened? What is this? A typical state of confusion from memory loss and bodily mutation. If you die here, all your fear ends with you. All Oni must be eradicated! Even after seeing that Oni, you still stand by your decision, Senpai? Dad! Pops! It wasn't so bad, being happy for a little while. Hey, what the hell happened? Was it a gas explosion? What happened? Call the fire department! Hey! Wait! Pops! Hey! Are you okay? Shiki. That's right, an ambulance. Never mind that. At least let me talk to you one last time. Sorry I kept so much from you. It must be confusing. It's fine. Don't worry about it! They'd kill you just for having Oni blood. How the hell was I supposed to tell my own son that? I won't be around anymore. But get stronger, okay? Strong enough to beat both the Momotaro and the Oni so you can live free... without anyone taking your happiness away. That's a promise, man to man. Shut up! I didn't ask for some dramatic final speech! I don't care how beat up you are! You can't cut and run on me like this! I'm not done with you, Pops! We've got stuff to talk about! You hear me? You listening, you stubborn bastard? It'd be nice if Oni and Momotaro could live like this, side by side. Huh? H-Hey. Pops? No, no. That's not right. Not yet... Hey! You haven't even heard my apology yet! I told you I was glad we weren't blood-related! You wanna hear me apologize for that, don't you? Let me take it back, damn it! And then just call me an idiot like always. Come on, Pops! Hey! Say something! Dad... Too many eyes around here. Letting someone sneak up on you that easily. Points off. Samidare screwed up. He acted alone. Pathetic! Haven't the Momotaro gotten weaker lately? Understandable. We can't let the public become aware of our existence. The masses don't need to know that filthy Oni still walk among them. Then kill the Oni child before he awakens. Find every last Oni hiding in human society. And exterminate them all. Welcome back, Naito. What do you need from me, Principal? I heard you managed to get someone through the entrance test? What of it? It's been years since we had a successful applicant, right? What's this? What happened? Drought, drought, and then bam, bumper crop. We don't even know how useful they'll be yet. Aw, come on, now. Admit it. You're a little excited, aren't you? Maybe your hearing's going. Aw, hot and cold. Make sure they don't die, or at least see if they're strong enough to survive. They're some of the rare good ones that only show up once every few decades. I've got high hopes. And didn't you find one more? I retrieved him, but evaluating him might be a waste of time. If he turns out to be useless...

Just like you, I'm an Oni. I won't tell you where this is. Your father's body is safely stored somewhere else. I brought you here for two reasons, evaluation and retrieval. These roller skates? I use them because they're fast and efficient. Mmmph! You've seen it, haven't you? Someone who can control that black mist. That was a Momotaro. More precisely, someone descended from Momotaro. They belong to the Momotaro Agency, an organization that exterminates Oni. And to oppose them... there's the Oni Agency. I find awakened Oni like you and assess whether you're fit to join the Oni Agency. That's it. Now I'll take your questions. What the hell's your problem? Untie me, already! What'd you do with my dad? If you've done anything to him, I'll kill you! Point deduction: minus one. I told you his body is being safely stored. If it were damaged, that wouldn't be "safely stored." Do you lack the brainpower to understand that? You just wasted 35 seconds of my life with that question. Like I care, dumbass! As if I'd trust a word out of your mouth! The stubborn type, I see. This has nothing to do with your father right now. If you're out of questions, the evaluation continues. Shut up! First off, unstrap me! Point deduction: minus two. You're strapped down because you get violent. Stop scoring people like that! You're pissing me off! Are you stupid? I said you're being evaluated. Who the hell is this guy? He just grabbed me and brought me here... No, focus. Stay cool. Evaluation? Never heard of it. Don't really have time for that stuff. So how about you untie me already? Because I've got a score to settle with the guy who killed my dad. So don't get in my way, you tool. Don't give me that creepy look. I see. Just a death-seeker, huh? Then I've got the perfect method for you. I've always thought the standard evaluation method was inefficient. You don't seem like the type who looks good in a tie. What the hell are you even... The point is, are you usable or not? A creature's true nature comes out when it's close to death. Use that tiny brain and figure a way out of this. If you can't, then die. No! I'm not dying! Like hell am I dying from something like this! Death? Screw that! So, are you just a fool after all? He's gone into berserker mode? Minus 100. You don't even know how to use your Oni blood, do you? Guess I'll show you... the right way to use your Oni blood. Though I'm sure you won't remember anything from while you were in berserker mode. If I were the type to let my guard down, this could be a fatal hit. But I don't let my guard down. What the hell? Did I pass out again? My arm! Again? Bet your memory's all blank, huh? Oni blood is powerful but hard to control. When you go berserk, you lose both your self and your memory. And you destroy everything in the process. Blood? Berserk? What the hell are you talking about? And that weird stuff coming out of you, what's that? A knife in the hands of the ignorant is a terrifying thing. This isn't "berserk." I'm controlling my Oni blood. No need to explain any further. You're disqualified. What the hell? None of this makes sense. Say it in a way I can actually understand, damn it! Only thing I get for sure... is this guy is insanely strong! Look, I hate your guts, but you're strong. Swallowing my pride here. Make me your underling! I want to get stronger so I can avenge my dad! Denied. In battle, not using your head equals death. Yet you went berserk without thinking. You can't control your blood, and you don't use your brain. Like I said, useless. Piece of... Guy lets me grovel and then talks down to me? Time to dispose of you efficiently. Can't let a berserker roam free. What was that just now? Oh. That's it! Two can play at that game! If I stay still, I'm screwed! This is do or die! And if I die, I'll apologize to Pops in the afterlife! He's lost it? No, maybe not. Carelessness is the great enemy. Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! 1: Charge in blindly. 2: Slide in low and go for the legs. 3: Jump and attack from above. 4: Feint and retreat. Which one's it gonna be? Number three, huh? Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! It worked! Just a fluke? The fact is... he was halfway to being in berserker mode. I-I'm gonna... So that's all he's got. Useless. Blood Eclipse Release: Rebirth's Deluge. Not... giving in. Not... gonna lose to it. I said I'm not giving in, you bastard! I did it! Hey, how about that? He controlled his blood? No, more than that. He just suppressed berserker mode. It wasn't a fluke. How'd you do that? If you wanna know, make me your underling! I'll think about it. Liar! Whatever. I don't know jack about Oni blood, but you talked about controlling it. How, though? But when I saw you slice your finger and make that umbrella... I had a light-bulb moment. We're both Oni, right? So I figured maybe I could copy you. Copy me? I didn't know how, so I just cranked my brain and yelled at my arm to make a weapon! And, boom, there it was! Pretty sick, huh? What kind of idiot logic is that? You wanna go, jerk? Come over here! There's no way someone could control Oni blood with that level of dumbassery. Normally, emotional hotheads like him have trouble controlling their blood. They're the worst fit for this power. Because normally, to control Oni blood... Emotions rising! Calm down. At this rate, you'll enter berserker mode. Stay alert. Got it. Just a little blood control. Understood. Let's go with about 30% usage. So bored. This is the norm. Keep it balanced with rationality, prevent going berserk, and control the blood. But he's different. Yikes! Emotions spiking! If I don't contain it, I'll go berserk! Shut up! If I said I'm doing it, then I'm damn well doing it! Hell yeah, bro! Time to cut loose! Don't get cocky! All right, pal! Lend me some power! Ow! Quit it! Yeah! That's it. He's not being rational but is using raw instinct to control the blood. He forced it. It's crude, but it's explosive. But now what? Hey. To get stronger... to kill that guy... If you teach me everything you know, I'll soak it all up. And maybe I'll become one of those "usable" guys you keep talking about. So come on, make me your underling! Denied. What you just did was reckless, a gamble with your life. What if you'd lost control of yourself? You didn't even think that far. A proper fighter has multiple backup plans. If every failed guess makes you start from scratch... you're inefficient. Too bad. I never thought about making you my lackey for a second. But I think I will make you my student. Just barely scraped by, but you pass. I won't explain what the test was. I just figured it was too early to call you a failure. Student? Pass? Huh? Let me explain more efficiently. This island is called "Hell's Doorstep," commonly known as Onigashima. At its center is a school built for Oni, Rasetsu Academy. It's nothing like a normal school. It's a military school for Oni to train and fight against the Momotaro Agency. Wait, what? I'm on an island? Seriously? That part doesn't matter. At Rasetsu Academy, you'll learn to control your Oni blood, how to fight, general education, and the history between Oni and Momotaro. Also, I'm your homeroom teacher. You'll live in a dorm, train every day, and fight the Momotaro Agency. That's it. My head's about to explode. Your brain's the size of a shot glass. Hey! That was just a straight-up insult! More importantly... can I really get stronger? Strong enough to destroy the bastards who killed my dad? That's up to you. But if not, you're expelled. If it'll make me stronger, then hell yeah, I'm in! I'll join whatever damn school you throw at me! Something's growing out of my head? It's proof your Oni blood has awakened. 123... With training, you can make them appear and disappear at will. 124... Even my wounds are healed. That's actually kinda awesome. Enough gawking. Hurry up and change. 125... Can't believe I'm going back to school. You're not the only one who passed. Among them, your skill level is the lowest. If you turn out to be useless, you're out. Easy. Oh, yeah, what happened to my dad? His body is in the morgue. Didn't know your religion, so the funeral arrangements are up to you. Dwelling on regrets is a waste of time. You really know how to say crap in the worst way. Get stronger so you don't feel that regret again. Don't waste your experience. Don't be an irrational fool. You're kinda nice, huh? Quit dawdling! You've got 15 seconds to get to class! Hey! No fair! I can't move like you! Then you're expelled. You serious? I am an Oni, after all. Loud and clear, you jerk! This is your class. Man, you really don't slow down, huh? School, huh? My blood's getting pumped! Should I bust in loud? Or play it cool with a boss entrance? Just go in, already. Whoa! Ow. That guy... Wait, is this a nosebleed? Ugh, how embarrassing! Hey, you! You've got tissues, right? You're wearing a mask. What, you got hay fever? Give me a tissue. Don't talk to me. Wait, what? Pretty rude for a guy who just met me, huh? Huh? No horns? You haven't awakened yet? Are you a baby Oni? You know, with training, you can pop 'em in and out. Watch and learn. Anyone who walks around flaunting them is just a dumb rookie. Hey. A "dumb rookie." Does that include me? Why wouldn't it? If you're picking a fight, I've got one answer. Hell yeah. Yeah! Let's go! Gentlemen, please! Let's not disrupt the classroom environment! I may have a handkerchief, if you need one. S-Sorry! I don't have any tissues. My stomach hurts. Am I dying? I'll have to tear a page from this book. No, no, don't! Rules must be upheld! If this preserves order, then... Use this! Nah. Stuffing that up my nose will probably hurt. Forget my nosebleed. It's you I can't stand, you and that smug attitude! Why don't you pipe down, nosebleed boy? Say what? Hey. You didn't come here to play around, right? Wait, since when was I sitting at the desk? When did he get behind us? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Switch seats! I can't stand this guy! Too bad. Today was supposed to be orientation and school rules... but we're doing something else instead. You're Oni, right? So we'll play tag. Wait, we're playing a game? This area is called Shinra Forest. You have one hour to make it back to school without getting caught by me. If you're caught, you'll be restrained on the spot. If everyone is caught, the game ends. Huh? So it's just regular tag. Also, if you don't make it to the goal in time, you're expelled. Expelled? That's nuts! If you think this is just some normal school, you'd be better off dying once and starting over. This is training. After graduation, you'll all be on the front lines against the Momotaro Agency. Yes, your life will always be on the line. I won't use my blood. You can use yours however you want. But if you go berserk, I will use mine. What if we kill you? If you think you can beat us without blood powers, don't cry if we kill you. Go ahead and try. If you succeed, you graduate instantly... and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. Seriously? If I graduate, I'll be that much closer to him! But killing the teacher... You all came here with a goal, right? If you want to make it, keep on winning. I'll keep throwing obstacles at you. If you can't overcome them, you'll be left behind. Looks like most of you are ready. Except one of you. You quitting? Hell no! If a guy's gonna come at me with everything he's got... then I'm giving everything I've got back! Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E03.en-US In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight If you don't make it to the goal in time, you're expelled. Expelled? That's nuts! If you think this is just some normal school, you'd be better off dying once and starting over. This is training.

If you succeed, you graduate instantly... and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. For Shiki and the other new students at Rasetsu Academy, their first test... is Oni Tag. They must return to the school within one hour without getting caught by the "it" player, Mudano. There's one more rule. To reach the goal, you'll need one of these. Whoa, those really flew! If you don't have a ball, even if you reach the goal, it won't count. Sensei! But there were only two balls! So we're supposed to fight each other for them, huh? There are a lot of you, so we'll split you into three groups. Group One is... Homare Byobugaura... Shiki Ichinose... Jin Kougasaki. Group Two... Ikari Yaoroshi... Juji Yusurube. Group Three... Rokuro Kiriyama... Kuina Sazanami. Groups Two and Three, you'll only have one ball between you. Sounds fun. Yup, a full-on brawl. That means at least three people are getting expelled. My head hurts. I might die. You'll all go in first. I'll enter 15 minutes later. If there's nothing else— Wait! There's no way I can team up with this masked weirdo! Then you're expelled. Seriously? Um... I'm Homare Byobugaura. I'll try my best not to get in your way, so... This guy has been a punk since he was a kid. Of course girls stayed away from him. And now, for the first time in years... a girl talked to him. I'll protect you! N-No, really. That's too much. I just want to stay out of the way. So humble. I-It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry someone like me even spoke to you! I'll just crawl into the dirt now! You made her cry? You bastard! Hey, don't cry! Come on, now! Don't ruin your cute face with tears! Actually, you even look cute when you cry. But your smile's even cuter! Please don't call me cute. Too freakin' cute! Let's work together and clear this thing, just the two of us. Tough luck, pal. You're done for right here! Do you have to talk to me every five seconds? You some kind of attention-seeker? Huh? If you're gonna get expelled anyway. Might as well quit now before you get wrecked. Screw that. I've got a goal, and I'm not giving it up! I bet it's something meaningless, anyway. Say what? That's enough. How many minutes do you plan on wasting? Group One, begin! Huh? U-Um... S-Sorry! I'm sorry for being so slow! Kill me if you want. If you succeed, you graduate instantly... and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. This is my chance! If I make it into the unit I want, I'll be able to see him again. You went from attention-seeker to clingy psycho, huh? I don't bother with small fights... but I'm all in if there's a big one! You called my goal meaningless, yeah? Take it back, you piece of crap! Well, yeah, there are only two balls, after all. So it's fine if we beat each other bloody for them, right? What the hell are those scars? Showing off your old wounds? Weaklings do that. Then if you lose to a weakling, what's that make you? Trash? Blood Eclipse Release. How are you pulling that off like it's nothing? Why can't you? If you're scared, you can run. If I back down now, it'll make my dad's death some pathetic, pointless tragedy! You came here to avenge your father? What if I did? I see. Then we'll never understand each other. Not like I ever expected us to get along. I can do that, too! Come on, work! Damn it! Why the hell won't it come out? Don't laugh, bastard! I'll kill you! This is pointless. If you're going to waste my time, at least pay for it. Damn it. How can he pull that off so easily? If I focus hard enough, if I shout it loud enough, it should work! Why is it he can do it and I can't? It pisses me off more than anything! Try to at least be a decent warm-up before I kill the teacher. Fine. Then I'll beat it out of you. This is my first step... toward getting stronger! Ichinose? Kougasaki? Where did you go? Wh-What was that sound? Someone like me doesn't belong here. A garbage girl like me shouldn't be in a place like this. But Ichinose said we'd work together! Why do I always rely on others? Okay. I'll just head toward that sound. What the hell was that? That scared me. My heart's about to explode. Am I dying? Sounds fun. Should we check it out? No way! It's not our turn yet! Damn it! This guy's tough! How can he control his blood? And the shape it takes when he uses it is totally different from mine. No, even different from the teacher's. Does it mean something? What does it even mean to "control blood" in the first place? I don't get it. Where are you looking? Crap! It's the first time I've ever felt this way. Not understanding something... hurts this damn much? Didn't even need to use my blood. Hold it, you bastard! Take a nap. Finally found you! That was way too close. U-Uh... That was dangerous, damn it! Apologize! Apologize? If you're scared of getting hurt, you should go home. Huh? If that weak attack scared you... you weren't going to last long anyway. You're seriously pissing me off. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's my fault you got hurt. I'm really, really sorry. Wait, wait! This was that jerk's fault! I'm so sorry. I'll just die to atone for it. Hey, you don't have to apologize that... that much. What the hell is that? We Oni have way more blood than regular people... But this... this is off. It's way too much. Both of you, please run. Otherwise... she'll kill you. Wasn't today just supposed to be school orientation? Principal. Giving them a life-or-death assignment on day one? Bold move. Training's more meaningful than wasting a whole day on explanations. You really do care. Everything you say is for their sake. You know, a lot of Oni die every year. Most of them are kids. Some are killed just because they're related to one. Some are taken alive and used as test subjects. They know nothing. They understand nothing. What should children who are suddenly killed one day... think about in their final moments? I just hope there's at least a fair and equal heaven waiting for them. I don't need to believe in heaven. If you're strong, you won't die. Simple as that. Still, you really are kind. Help them get strong. Crap, that was too close! Did that masked weirdo just die? Damn! It's way too big! Hey! Byobugaura! You can't stop that thing? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't... do anything. She's losing too much blood! First, I need to pull her away from that thing! It's protecting her? Does her blood have a will of its own? Please stop. Don't do this anymore. Sis! "Sis"? You two should run. What good is running? You'll bleed out and die right in front of us. I don't mind. Watching someone die before your eyes really sucks, you know. Besides, you've got that, "I'm barely hanging in there," face goin' on. I can't just leave you like that. What the hell is this? So that's Byobugaura's Blood Eclipse Release, huh? Let's see how those kids handle it. Come on, come on, come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come out, already! Why won't it work? It's not going to. Last time was a one-in-a-hundred lucky shot. But that kind of luck, I'll give him credit for it. Whoa! Damn it! This isn't just weak. This is pathetic. I've never lost a fight before. Pops died, and here I am, still completely useless! I hate this. Being weak is so damn humiliating and frustrating! If you're gonna cry, do it somewhere else. Huh? I'm not crying! You're dead, mask boy! This is just sweat! Idiot! Look at me when I'm talkin' to you! Moron! That hit from earlier's still messing with me. But if I run now, that's the end of me! Creating two different weapon types at the same time, that takes serious control. He's got a clear edge in precision and experience. An Oni's blood can take any shape, any strength. The image a person holds is transmitted from the brain, traveling not only through nerves but also through the bloodstream, shaping itself accordingly. It's a signal from the brain. Some have their traumas reflected. Others reveal their preferences or tastes. For some, their experiences are imprinted. It's said that what an Oni creates with their blood can offer a glimpse into their life itself. Then, at some point, the act of creating one's own unique weapon from blood... came to be known as... Blood Eclipse Release! I'll take your head off! It protected itself! Damn it! Come on, come on! Just work, already! Make anything! Why is it he can do it and I can't? Huh? Wait a sec. Everything he makes is for cutting. And Byobugaura only formed that. Oh! What I made before... It's gonna puke more blood? This might be the limit. Crap. Quit yelling, already. Blood Eclipse Release! He figured it out? Now I'm ready to go! Crazy. Feels like this thing's part of my body! Over here! Brace yourself! How was that? Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice?

How was that? What the hell was that firepower? He didn't just take down that titan. He changed the weather! Byobugaura, you okay? My body won't move. You're paralyzed, huh? You just discharged a ridiculous concentration of blood. You're pushing it. I bet even your vision's fading. Still... gonna... get up. Use too much blood, and, worst case, you die. You've got zero control and a long way to go. Still, that power seemed a bit too extreme. R-Right. Byobugaura. Check on her. I think she used too much blood. You can take care of me later. Just help her first. Of course I will. You're nearly dead yourself and still worrying about someone else? Why waste time worrying about them? They don't matter. In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream?

What, then? That's not my problem. Not your problem, huh? I prefer to treat all my students equally... but I really hate types like you. I wasn't trying to be liked. Just don't lie to me. If I kill you, I graduate... and I get into the squad I want, right? Yeah. Like I said before, I won't use my blood. So relax. Don't underestimate me! A half-baked blade like that won't cut it. This umbrella isn't just for show. A smoke bomb? A rigged umbrella! Don't worry. It's not poison. He's using the smoke to launch a surprise attack. But I'll cut him in half the moment he gets close to me. Since you're all about close combat, I'll keep my distance. They're rubber bullets, but you hurt your arm fighting the titan, and I bet they hurt bad. I go for the weak points. Even if you keep your distance, I've got more than one way to fight. Blood Eclipse Release. Blood Spray Bisection Dance! He even has a counter for long range? You're mine! A grenade? Crap! Another smoke screen! How many tricks does that thing have? Is he going to snipe at me from a distance again? Assuming someone will always attack from range will get you killed. And you were wide open because you keep favoring your right arm. Shut up. You really thought you could win while injured? Assess your opponent's strength. That's why this is happening. You've overused your blood. You probably don't have the strength left to break out of that umbrella. Th-That's insane. Damn it! If this were a real battle, you'd be dead. I'm not done yet! This isn't over! Desperate, huh? You really want to see your dad that badly? His dad? How do you know that? I looked into you, just a bit. I know plenty of things. Like how your father is a Momotaro. His dad's a Momotaro, too? What about it? But yeah. My old man's a Momotaro. That bastard took everything from me! My family... ...my aspiration! All of it! The scars all over my body are reminders carved into me by my father. Not once has the hatred faded. I clung to life and managed to survive off of scraps from garbage dumpsters. I live for one thing. To kill my father! With that driving me... I'm not afraid to die! Enough of that, brat. Don't get it twisted. I... swear... If you die chasing your goal, it's meaningless. Live for your goal. If you don't get that, you won't live to see tomorrow. Yeah, send the school nurse out here. Byobugaura is officially retired from the trial. Kougasaki, too. I've restrained him. That just leaves you. I can move again... sorta. You've got five minutes and 42 seconds left. Oh, yeah, one more thing. Found this on the way here. You're holding one of the balls? That's not fair! Either find the last one in five minutes and 30 seconds and reach the goal... or take this one from me. So he ran. Damn it! You? I'll help you, but you gotta work with me. What? There's no way I can take Mudano alone. I'll help you, so help me out. Not a chance! Being saved by you would be humiliating. What's more important, your pride or your goal? I'd team up with someone I hate if it helped me to reach mine. That's none of your business. It kinda is. My dad was a Momotaro, too. Not that it means anything... but we're not that different. So just lend me a hand! No. If he's not around here... did he turn back? Huh? Damn it! Damn it! That bastard! What the hell's his problem? Where are you rushing off to? Heading back to school, are you? Without a ball, it doesn't count. That damn idiot! I saved him, but I gotta be the decoy? What the hell? No. Why? I'm not gonna work with you. You work with me! Like he's in charge here. Make it count! So they teamed up, huh? But if they can't properly use their blood... That's the rope I used to tie up Kougasaki! Yeah! Pull him in! So we're testing endurance now. Pull harder, Kougasaki! Come on, come on, pull his ass in! More! More! You're so damn loud! If they were at full stamina, this might have worked. That was the last of it. I've got nothing left. This is it! I'm going for that ball! Just under three minutes left. If they sprint, one of them could make it back. If Kougasaki grabs the ball and runs, Shiki will likely chase him to try to steal it. And in that struggle, I'll take it back. Yeah! Grab it and just run to the goal! Go! Go! That's what I'm talkin' about! We got the ball from you, Sensei! If he scores with it like that, only Kougasaki will pass. Anyone who fails get expelled. I totally forgot! I got the ball and felt all accomplished! This idiot's lack of forethought was not part of the calculation. To put it nicely, he doesn't think about cost or benefit. He acts on whatever's right in front of him. A simple, honest type. Hey! Wait up! I can make it! If I keep running, I'll barely just make it! I'll help you, but you gotta work with me. Grab it and just run to the goal! He's coming back? What are you, terminally directionally challenged? Don't get the wrong idea! I just don't want to owe you anything, ever! I'd rather get expelled and finish my goal by myself! You're the one who's scoring! What's with this round little dude? Wait! That's Muku, our high-speed comms courier from Baku Express. We call him Mukkun. He delivers urgent messages quickly and without leaving a trace. If Mukkun's here, then there must be an emergency. This is the Kyoto Branch of the Oni Agency! We are under attack by the Momotaro Agency! Requesting immediate backup! Requesting immediate backup! They're taking forever. It's been over an hour. Did all three of them fail? Guess that means it's my turn next. I think I caught a fever from the rain. Hey! Oh, they're back? Hmm? Byobugaura isn't with them. She overused her blood and was sent to the infirmary. She'll be out of action for a few days. Hey! We just heard Kyoto's in trouble! Practical training is canceled. What the hell's going on? The Kyoto Branch of the Oni Agency sent an emergency request for backup. We're heading there immediately. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way Four hundred eleven... Four hundred twelve... Disappear! Disappear! Disappear! Disappear! Yes! I did it! Look! Look at this! Shut up. Everyone else can do that already. You're dead last. Wanna die? Bring it on, loser. No, you go ahead, jerk. - Make the first move. - Sensei. Are we seriously going to a place actively under attack by the Momotaro Agency? We have no choice. The other classes are all out doing fieldwork, including the other teachers. And you guys won't be fighting. You'll be doing support tasks. I can't do this. I'm not up for it. You won't be on the battlefield. Wait, what? We don't get to fight? We're just errand boys after all that? At least you're not getting expelled. Even support is an important role. I want battle experience, not busywork! Shut it, glasses! Then how about now? Don't quibble with me, four-eyes! - We really just support? - Glasses don't define me. That's right. My bad, four-eyes! - I won't add to the body count. - My glasses are off! Whatever. But seriously, why are we going dressed like this? The other uniforms stand out. From now on... act like normal students. What are you tryin' to say? Don't do anything that'll get you stopped by the cops. Mind your own business! You're worried about me? Not like I'm happy or anything, but... I smell something sacred in the air! Sensei. What is it, Kiriyama? What kind of support stuff are we doing? Too many people makes my heart pound. I'll explain now. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Am I dying? That's just seasickness. Each municipality has at least one Oni Agency unit stationed in it. Those units have two main responsibilities. First, the Battle Unit. They fight on the front lines when the Momotaro strike. Second, the Support Unit. They aid Oni who live among humans. They protect Oni who have no family or support and help with daily life issues. Since Oni can't visit ordinary doctors, they also provide physical and mental health care. During combat with the Momotaro, they're responsible for rescue and medical support as well. We're headed to help the Support Unit. The Support Unit? Even though this could be the perfect chance to get stronger. This sucks. And what if that guy's there? The Momotaro you're looking for isn't in Kyoto. Huh? Like the Oni Agency, the Momotaro Agency has regional branches. What kind of Momotaro is stationed in Kyoto? To put it simply... an insane one. ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E05.en-US An Oni Base's really around here? If I remember right... this area's where Iryuda-dera Temple is. Correct. We're heading to the underground below Iryuda-dera. This place? It's just a regular restaurant. We've been expecting you. This way, please. Go on in. In the 24 ALIVE HERE Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease A glance exchanged becomes the signal Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment So far, so far In the 24 ALIVE HERE Gunfire devours fairy tales Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream? We tame despair and glory alike Just something you prayed to God That wish vanishes without mercy So swallow even what's right when you must So far from who I was Even being incomplete Means you can care for someone else Doesn't matter what it is We'll carry out the mission we were given So far from who I was So far from who you were I'm afraid The sadness, so merciless Only deepens the pain In the dreaming overnight Come in! Do you copy? Team three, respond! What happened? Say something! Team three... Would this be them? Probably? Maggots lining up and playing soldier, huh? It's hilarious when they try to act human. Honestly, Boss, you went way overboard again. Cleanup's gonna be a pain. I know, but isn't it just infuriating? When the cocky maggots swarm in? I wish we'd gotten a female Oni instead. The last one we used for research died on me. Females last longer. Better pain tolerance. Boss, your experiments are freakin' gross. I hate 'em. Especially that thing. Now, that's just rude. A blend of dog, monkey and pheasant. He's an Ugly. Ugly, yes, but also disgusting. You're terrible! He's a valuable specimen for experiments and research. He's a loyal Anti-Oni Biological Weapon. He only eats Oni. I know you're obsessed with experiments, but our job is to find and kill dangerous Oni. We're supposed to protect civilians. I know, I know. But can't the grunts deal with the small fry? Why are you even in the Momotaro Agency anyway? I just can't contain my curiosity. Oni blood is fascinating. The healing factor, the way it mutates when they go berserk, the weapons they make... It's all too good! Our only job is to kill dangerous Oni, yeah? Wipe them out before they lose control and hurt civilians. And if it weren't for the Agency, you wouldn't even be able to keep doing your creepy experiments. Maybe try actually contributing a little? If we can study Oni blood enough to control it ourselves, it'd be a real asset. And just imagine if we could turn that healing ability into a drug! That would make a fortune. Talk about a major contribution! Not that I care about money, of course. But don't we kinda have similar powers, too? What are you talking about? If our powers are similar, then it's more efficient to experiment on maggots we can kill freely. Yeah, I guess that's true. Vermin like them are only worth being research material. Well then, let's move on to the next spot. Just kidding! We were actually running low on child specimens. Lucky! If we're taking it back, I'll knock it out first. Crap! When I experiment, I wear disposable lab coats. I may be interested in Oni blood... but it's filthy stuff, y'know. Look what you did. You got blood on my uniform. Hey, little maggot. Are your parents nearby? I'd like to see their faces, but there are so many corpses here, I can't tell who's who. Can you point them out for me? Do you see... Mommy and Daddy here? No answer, huh? Okay, then. I'll just roll them all together, and you can try to find them in the pile. Our abilities let us fight using black bacteria from our bodies. Some make weapons, some launch spores. There are various ways to fight. But this one's always creeped me out. Controlling corpses with bacteria... Tsubakiri-senpai's method seriously gives me chills. Oh, shoot. I lost my research specimen. Oh well. I'll find another one later. Ugly, go ahead. Eat this big Oni dumpling and clean it all up. Let's get back to work, Yomogi. 'Kay. This is insane! The underground in Kyoto's like this? Some shops in the area have tunnels that connect to Iryuda-dera's underground. Huh! We're here. Below even Iryuda-dera. This is the Oni Agency's Kyoto base. It's like a mansion! And right under Iryuda-dera? Sensei! This way, please! Huh? After that, we need you over here, too! Okay, okay! No need to get snappy. Let's all stay calm, yeah? We don't have time for that kind of attitude! Oh? Huh? Danny? You're early! When'd you get here? You should've messaged me! I just arrived. No way! There's a cutie here! Is my hair okay? Stay in place! Quick, tell me your contact info! I can't with this flirty type. Harsh! But that doesn't get me down! Timing's everything, you know! Who's this flirty guy? This is Kyoya Oiranzaka... Commander of the Kyoto Base's Support Unit. Danny and I were classmates at Rasetsu Academy. Yay! Enough with the chatter. I'm heading to the front lines. Wait, already? Huh? You're going, too. Take me with you! I'm not helping a guy like this! Must be rough teaching these little wild ones! Good luck, Danny! You're free to make use of these wild ones however you like. Later. Doctor! Please come quickly! Hey! Huh? Are those students from Rasetsu? Hurry up and change! We need your help! What is this place? Most of these patients were injured in the current conflict. This one's a frontline soldier. He was just brought in. He's lost both arms and legs. His lungs have sustained extensive damage. At most, maybe three minutes left. It's okay, man! You're not dying! We won't let you! Hey! There's no way that guy's gonna make it! You can't just say stuff like that! You're kind. Shiki, is it? But I actually am kind of a big deal. Huh? There's a reason I hold this position, y'know. All right, then. Let's get you kids a real look at this kind of work! What a hassle! A sudden surge of low-level Oni Agency grunts, huh? Even the commander and vice-commander were killed! They're way too strong! Blood Eclipse Release. What's this? Rebirth's Deluge. Mudano's here! Mudano! It's Mudano! Oh my, Mudano! Long time no see! What are you doing in Kyoto? Still so rude. Launching an attack out of nowhere? Oh, well, these corpses make for nice shields. Scum. Did you know, Mudano? There's a place where the Kyoto Oni have been quietly gathering. If we wipe it out, don't you think the Oni problem here will basically vanish? No idea. Oh, really? If even you don't know, maybe it doesn't exist. Maybe I'll just go sightseeing and call it a day. Still, you don't think there might be something going on... at some big famous sightseeing spot? This guy's hunches aren't to be taken lightly. I've got the perfect sightseeing spot for you. Oh, yeah? Where is it? Hell. Why is that hooked up to him? Shouldn't you be giving it to the patient? Quiet! All right, sir. Do you want arms or legs? One mouth open means arms. Two means legs. Arms, huh? Got it. My... ...children... I want to... ...hold... ...them. I'll make sure you get to hold them. Gotta warn you though. This is gonna hurt like hell. So, hang in there, 'kay? My blood's not for combat, but it's real useful. It boosts an Oni's healing by several times over. All of you! Help hold him down! R-Right! The blood's draining fast! You there! Don't just stand around! Go get more blood! It's in the room next door! Right! What the... What is that? Cell regeneration has started. His hands and lungs are completely healed! Hey! Will his legs heal, too? With time and small doses, yeah. But if we push a large transfusion all at once, he'll develop antibodies. Once that happens, even if we transfuse more, regeneration won't work. His body just won't respond anymore. Sir, you'll likely be retired from the Battle Unit. But from now on, let's fight together in the Support Unit! We'll get you a sick pair of prosthetic legs... so you can run around with your kid again! Let's focus on rehab for now, yeah? Thank you! I don't know what else to say! All right, all right. This is the war between Oni and Momotaro. And that patient may very well be one of you in the future. I get why people want to go to the front lines. Seriously, I do. But remember this. Those who can face forward and fight on the front lines... can only do that because there's someone behind them keeping them safe. And the ones behind them... who are doing everything they can to save the injured. That's us. That's the Support Unit. That's my battlefield. Dude, you're awesome! I thought you were just a lame pretty boy, but you're a real man! Right? He's flashy as hell, but he got me all emotional! My stock's through the roof now! All right! I'll do anything! Bring it on! Actually, I've got something different I'd like you to handle, Shiki. Huh? Like what? I'd like you to look after Mei over there. Why? What's her deal? She was brought in yesterday. Apparently, she was attacked by the Momotaro. Her parents still haven't been found. You're surprisingly kind for how you look, Shiki. I'm counting on you. Sure. Yeah, I got this. All right! Pretty crazy, huh? A garden, underground like this! Kind of amazing, right? I'm Shiki. Your name's Mei, right? I bet your mom and dad like Ghibli, huh? Nothing, huh? So, now what? What am I supposed to do? Wanna go to Iryuda-dera? What's that? Oh! You talked! Wait, you don't know Iryuda-dera? It's totally in the textbooks! Didn't go to school. Oh, yeah? Maybe she's a troublemaker? Oh, wow! We've got a crowd. Looks like the Support Unit collected a ton of bodies during their patrol. At least 30 of them. That many were just left lying around? Wait! Papa! Mama! Mei... So, those are her parents. Papa! Mama! You never really get used to this. I'd rather not go to Hell. But Mudano, you're always such fun. Oh, that's right. I wonder. Did my present make it safely? Though accurately, it's not "make it"... but "delivered for me," right? By you all? What are you talking about? I left behind some Oni corpses laced with my bacteria. Made sure they were easy to find. I figured you guys would bring them in. Wouldn't want corpses just lying around, right? So, you've ended up bringing in corpses I can control whenever I want. Right to your own base. Papa... Mama... I'll carry the other bodies. Shiki, can you help? You might not want to, but... No. I'll do it. I wonder if they're there yet. I'll check. Papa! Hey! You're alive? What the hell? Don't choke your daughter! P-Papa... That's Tsubakiri's ability! Shiki! Cover Mei's eyes! Huh? Just do it! G-Got it! I'm sorry, Mei. We have to destroy the brain. Just taking off the head won't stop it. P-Papa... Papa! There was no other way to keep his face intact. I'm sorry, Mei. Tsubakiri, you total bastard! No way! Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice? I don't know So I erased it, just to be myself What is justice? I don't know No pain, no gain I'll go to the end No matter how pretty the words Or how noble the cause Break down This fight comes with pain No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears What is justice? I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E06.en-US Oh, that's right. I wonder. Did my present make it safely? Though accurately, it's not "make it." But "delivered for me," right? By you all? What are you talking about? You've ended up bringing in corpses I can control whenever I want. Right to your own base. I wonder if they're there yet.

Hey! Stop! Tsubakiri... is controlling all of these corpses? Mama! Stop! It's me, Mei! Mama! - Mama! Stop! Stop, Mama! - Stay away from it! - Mama! - Shiki, I'll help you— Damn it, how am I this popular? Please let go of him! Let go of him! Mama! - Mama! - Shiki... Use this. Oh, a handgun! You still can't control your blood. Model guns are nothing compared to this! This one's the real deal! It's loaded with your blood-infused rounds. They hit way harder than normal bullets. Use it when it counts. Mama! Mama! Mei... Sorry. Just close your eyes for a sec. This is bad! Shiki... You okay? Yeah, thanks. Support Unit isn't supposed to be combat-ready. I'm putting you in charge of dealing with the mess in the main hall. I'll get the patients to safety. Got it! How could this be happening? Don't ask me! Am I gonna die here, you think? What the hell is going on? No matter how many times we hit them, they don't go down. What do we do? Headshots! Hit the head or it won't stop them! Blood Eclipse Release! So, that's what you meant. Next time, say it sooner, you idiot! Support Unit! Prioritize evacuating patients and minimizing secondary casualties! Damn! Killing corpses one more time... The absolute grossest thing I've ever had to do! Kiriyama and I will help with evacuation! Do it, don't announce it, glasses! Go! C'mere, you! Hah! These things just keep coming! What am I even doing? This one, too! And this one! This one, too! This one, too! And this one! And this one! And this one! Every one of them... must've been... important to someone! Get the patients to safety while Shiki and the others hold the line! - Got it! - Got it! I'm pumping these people... full of bullets. How do I even process that? I don't know... but it feels like I'm about to cry! Our enemy is... supposed to be Momotaro! Oni shish kebab! What's with the sad face? Shouldn't you be happy the maggots are dying off? Even the loner path has its limits. Hearing that from someone like you... what a boring line. Mudano! We'll back you up! No, you all return to the evac point. I'll deal with this. You're not going anywhere. Yomogi. Boss. Well done, Yomogi. Thanks. What's this supposed to be? As long as you're in there, we get to visit your hideout all we want. And if Yomogi doesn't grant permission, you can't leave. You probably thought I didn't even know the location, huh? I planted transmitters on every corpse I left behind. And all those pings started lighting up right in one very interesting spot. Under Iryuda-dera. Well then, I'll be on my way. Keep fighting the good fight if you're still alive! Wait! Yomogi. I grant entry to an Ugly. He's coming in! Damn it! That's a mass-produced type of Ugly. Even if he breaks, it's all okay. So... What the hell? That's disgusting! What's the creature doing? You all can have him. Everyone, get down! I thought the explosion would be more impressive. We'll have to work on that. Should we double-check? Nah. Too smoky, and I don't wanna get blood on me again. Right. Makes sense. Is it over? Looks like. Finally. We relocated the patients to another hall. Seriously, you guys being here helped a ton. Thanks. Mei. I'm sorry you had to go through that. You're safe now. Mei, I'm sorry. I had to put down your... It's okay. I've always lived in hiding. Never even went to school. I've been running all my life. Moving from place to place... always on the run... I've always... kind of... had a feeling. I always figured this day would come. So... don't worry about me. "Don't worry?" She just watched her parents get killed. And those are the words she chooses? When I was her age... I really admired superheroes. To vanquish evil and carry out justice! Superhero! Justice! Justice! Yeah! That's it! Go get 'em, Justice! Aren't Momotaro supposed to be the good guys? This is how the heroes from the fairy tales operate? If that's the case, then I'll be the villain! As a villain... I'll crush the so-called heroes! It's okay! I will... make a world where you can smile again! So, yeah. Don't worry. We need to gather the bodies of our fallen friends. I'll guide you to the cremation site and then start transporting them there. It's in the tunnel you guys went through. Bet you didn't notice it, huh? I wouldn't have even brought it up if this hadn't happened. By the way, you've got a girlfriend? This is way too heavy! That flashy guy's got us doing all the grunt work. Hey! Don't just stand there slacking off, glasses! I'm not slacking, and your anti-glasses bias is outrageous. Then what are you doing? Given that we got attacked, this place might not be safe, either. I was thinking I'd better be on guard. My ability is built for scouting. Blood Eclipse Release. "Where Art Thou?" Wh-What the hell is that? My blood can detect... living beings within a five-kilometer radius of wherever it lands. Quite useful. It can even confirm if they're Momotaro. Seriously? Though the heat signature sensitivity's too low... for me to be able to lock down appearance or power level. That's... What is it? Hello? It's me. I want you to send the location info here... to several Ugly units. Yeah. What am I planning? You could call it an exploration of Onigashima. For Oni extermination, you need a dog, a monkey and a pheasant, right? Oh, and send that Ugly I kept for a special occasion. Yep, thanks. Catch you later. Oh! One more thing. That one we talked about at the last Commanders meeting. Can't remember the name, but could you send me the file on that high-risk Oni? Just for reference. Yeah, that's the one. Thanks. If Mudano's already shown up, something might be going down. Senpai. What is it? It's really big. Like, acoustically speaking, this place is huge. No idea how many might be down there. Want me to toss in some poison gas? Not a bad idea. Senpai? Something wrong? Yeah, I'll go in myself after all. And let's make sure we ask every Oni for their name before we kill them. Why? If there's one named Shiki Ichinose... I want him captured alive, not dead. What's so special about him? Shiki Ichinose... He's a bit different. I absolutely... want to study him. Now then... what better way... to finish off this fairy tale... than with a flashy finale? Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

School's about to let out, so it's time to head home. Okay! Mama, I brought you this flower! Thank you! It's beautiful! Papa! Mama! Hurry, hurry! Don't run off like that! You'll trip over your own feet. Jeez! You're worrying too much! Papa! Mama! Papa... Mama...

Let's go back and start carrying the bodies over. What's wrong? That's a crematorium, huh? You saw what happened earlier, right? Once a war starts, a lot of people end up there. There are people we can't save. That's why we have a crematorium. It's the kind of world you're about to step into. But as long as I'm around, I won't let you die that easily, so don't worry! Any other questions? Nah. Then, I've got a question of my own. Just tell me if you have a girlfriend or not! Hey, don't ignore me! I'm not giving up! C'mon, what type of girl do you like? Aw, you turned at the last second and made me miss your heart! Blood Eclipse Release! This enemy is dangerous! So... I have to take him down immediately! Tch! Kougasaki! Don't worry! It'll heal up in a bit! Oni blood's recovery rate is ridiculous, but... the pain dulls my thinking! We're both injured. Tactically speaking, this is the worst-case scenario! Kougasaki... Could you let Shiki and the others know Tsubakiri's here? Then guide the patients out and help get everyone clear. What about you? Well, I'll manage somehow. I'll bring back help! He's really kind. Are you done? Then let's move, Yomogi. Right. What is that? If making boxes like before is that Momotaro's ability... then is she forming a wall of bacteria? The enemy's inside with us. Meaning their plan is nobody gets out alive? I've sealed off just about the entire underground area of Iryuda-dera. There's no escape. Seriously... a femme fatale, huh? Beautiful but deadly. So, there are no escape routes down here... the only combat-capable people left are the students... and no hope of reinforcements from above. On top of that, the two people in front of me are hella strong. I'm gonna die, aren't I? I've got a question for you. Yeah? Do you know Shiki Ichinose? Shiki? Now I really have to stand my ground. Wolfsbane, a poisonous plant that causes respiratory failure and organ collapse. You're not trying to get away? Not that there's anywhere to run. Honestly, I'd love to run. But that's not really an option, is it? I see. Crap. Better harvest some blood. Oni blood sure is pretty, I'll give you that much. Damn it. If I have to go out, I wanted the hot woman to be the one to do it. Huh? He's dead already? I didn't bring a corpse with me, so might as well use his. Never mind. They're here. Yomogi, let them in. Okay. I grant you permission to enter. Did you bring what I asked? Filthy... Neatly remove it from the bag. Now then, prep's done. Hey! Momotaro's here! Where is everybody? Hey! Oh, it's just you. Why are there so few of you? Yusurube's enemy search detected Momotaro coming in, so they rushed to evacuate the patients to the surface. But then, all of a sudden... black mist sealed off all the routes! Thankfully, all the patients managed to escape safely... but we and several others didn't make it out in time. Including Mei. So, what now? We split up and look for a way out! There's nowhere to go. I checked every exit, and they were all blocked... by that black fog. Damn it! Where's that flashy guy? Wasn't he with you? He... That's so creepy! Wh-What is that thing? Damn it! If we get pinned down here, we'll all get wiped out! Got it! Mei! Stay with me! Wow, look at this place! They built all this underground? Put the coffin there. Kill everyone except Shiki Ichinose. Bring him back alive. Aren't you coming, Senpai? I'll wait here. Got thinking to do. I'm off, then. Let's go, you guys. Damn it! This outfit's hard as hell to move in! I've gotta do something. There's nothing decent here! I'm dying. All these outfits have way too much material! And what's this fabric? I'm done for. I'm gonna die! Finally, here's something! Shut up! You collapsed from stress! You're out of breath 'cause you were running! I'm gonna change into this, but if you peek, you really will be dead! Whoever this belongs to, it's way easier to move in! What do you mean to do? Set up an ambush, duh! No way out, so I guess it is what it is. Man... healthy people really are optimistic. I could never think that way. Even on the way to Kyoto, I saw posts online... like, "People are getting sick there." And I clicked on them! Damn it! Now I'm worried... I might get sick, too! Come to think of it, I have a headache. Crap! This kind of stress is seriously bad for my mental health! You're so annoying! Stop stressing out over nothing! Shit! Guess we've got no choice but to fight. No way! I can't fight when I'm this anxious! You have to do something! I can't handle it! Please! You seriously can't do anything alone? No, I can't! There's no way! Absolutely no way! You... Go hide in that closet over there. Huh? Is that really okay? I'm the only one you can count on, right? Huh? Y-Yeah. Then you don't have to do anything. You'd better hide now, then. I'll handle... every little thing. Bring it on then, little monster! I don't really get what's happening, but she said she'd handle it! This is fine, right? It's so dark in this closet! I'm starting to panic! Are you... Shiki Ichinose? It spoke? Shiki's that dumbass-looking guy, right? That's not me, moron! Then... die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I... I'm gonna die! Don't be so smug about breaking through a frickin' wall. Blood Eclipse Release! How about you stay with me until you die? What happened to that doctor? Hey, you mutant monstrosity... Before I was with the weak and helpless. But now it's one-on-one, so I don't need to hold back! Are you... Shiki Ichinose? Huh? Don't equate me with that loser! Damn it! Is there nowhere to hide? This way, Mei! My heart just stopped, didn't it? My heart totally stopped just now! Is my body okay? No aftereffects or anything? It's quiet. Why? Oh, I get it! Everything up to now was just a hallucination! Of course! There's no way things could have gone this crazy otherwise! I must've been seeing things... and dozed off in the closet! Phew, thank goodness! All right... once I'm out of here, I'm heading straight to a mental health clinic. Wait, wait, wait, wait! That shock just now might've messed up my heart! T-Time out, time out, time out, time out! My heart's still acting funny, so could you maybe just pretend you didn't see me? Can't? Can't? Yeah, I figured. I figured. It's not coming at me? Hey, over here! Hurry up. You ugly brute. Right here, right here. Bring that head of yours over. It's listening to her! Come on, look this way! How? There you go. Right there. There! Come on! Come on! Come on! What's wrong? Hey, stand up! Come on! Come on! Come on! What's with that girl? I'm scared! Hey! What're you dozing off for? I'm gonna squeeze every last drop out of you until you're empty, got that? Not nearly enough yet! Kuina Sazanami. Skill... "I LOVE!" If Kuina's blood coats an enemy past a certain limit, they fall under her spell and gradually lose the will to fight. They're reduced to a near-vegetative state. You're not even worth wringing dry! I-Incredible! She beat that monster all by herself! I told you. Just keep out of the way and let me handle it. People who know Kuina describe her this way... "A dependable, sisterly type." And it's true. She's tough and trustworthy... with plenty of admirers. But Kuina's close friends put it like this... "She's a girl who spoils you to a downright pathological degree." I made food, so eat. Open up! Time for your after-meal toothbrushing! She spoils them so completely... that the men reduced to useless husks are beyond counting. Forget work! There are tons of women out there. Step outside, and I'll kill you! I'll earn all the money, got it? Sooner or later, a guy in her care either wises up and stands on his own... or winds up a vegetable in an institution. Thank you so much. I'll remember this kindness for the rest of my life. Well, unless I get some kind of brain disorder, I guess. Quit fussing over it, idiot. A futon? I can wipe the floor with weaklings like these. Besides, the last time you fought, you nearly got yourself killed, remember? Huh? I'm lying on a futon? Whenever a guy in trouble leans on her, Kuina's devotion goes into overdrive. Yes. Kuina simply overdoes it. So, just stay put and sleep. By the time you wake up, everything'll be taken care of. Uh... Hey! You're looking pretty pale. No, um... You're a little close. I'll fix you something nutritious... so tell me what food you like. Uh, so, where's the kitchen? What is with this girl? She's offering to do everything for me. Kitchen, kitchen... Could this be... a trap? She'll use me as bait at some critical juncture, let the monster eat me, and escape while it's busy! I'm dead, absolutely dead! Hey, you're trembling! Got the chills? Want me to make you some ginger tea? It's back! I'm gonna die! Another one, huh? Hey, weakling! Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

That arm is like a parasite worm. This one's different from the last guy. But don't you dare ruin my fun, jerk! I'm gonna wring every last drop out of you! It's trapped both my arms! This is bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! C-Come on, somebody do something! She'll be killed at this rate! What do I do? I have to help! Who? Me? No way! No way! No way! No way! I'll just get murdered! And in some horrible way! Someone will save her. If I go, it'll be pointless. Somebody's sure to... When did I... become this hopelessly timid?

Lulu. She was one year older. My very first crush. Lulu! Watch me! From here, I can fly, too! Here I go! In front of her, I was invincible. As long as she was around, I could be a hero or even a poet. Well? Pretty cool, right? Yeah. I can jump from even higher than that, easy! Lulu was always there... watching over me with kindness. I was born in a little backwater town. Lots of Oni lived hidden among the people. She was one of them. I loved dancing with her more than anything. I can still picture the sunset sky while we practiced our steps together. Not feeling well? I'm okay. Thank you, Rokuro. But the truth was, she was ill. For an Oni, the moment horns appear, the very chemistry of one's blood changes. Which meant she could no longer be taken to an ordinary human hospital. We went to see the town's only Oni doctor. I had another spell. It's fine! We'll beat this. You're going to get better! Mm-hmm. But calamity strikes without warning. The Momotaro Agency raided our village. They murdered the only Oni doctor. Lulu, hang in there. I'll go to another town and bring back a doctor! Trust me! There's nothing I can't do, right? You're... always so cool. So please stay just like that. She was my safe harbor. With her beside me, I could stay strong. With her beside me, I was invincible. After she was gone... the worries and dread I'd kept buried swallowed me whole. White hair spread. Insomnia gnawed at me. Before I knew it, I'd turned into a full-blown neurotic. Yeah, that's right. From that day on, I was no longer the same. Can't be helped. Because without her, I'm completely useless. You're always so cool. So please stay just like that. If Lulu could see me right now, she'd be so disappointed. She fought so hard for me. I can't stay like this. If I meet Lulu again in Heaven like this, I won't be able to hold my head high. Since she's been gone, I haven't been cool at all. So I've got to get strong enough to proudly say, "Lulu, from the bottom of my heart, I stayed an awesome guy even after you left." To do that, I've gotta rack up a whole lot more achievements, even if they're nothing but deeds from an unreliable hero! Scared. So scared. Terrified! Terrified! Terrified! My heart hurts so bad, I can't stand it. It's fine. It's fine! I can do this! Even if it isn't fine, I'll make it fine! I may look pretty pathetic now, but would you stay by my side? I really can't do this without you. Whoa. The panic is fading! Blood Eclipse Release! Frigid Ashes Dance! Mental Recovery! Now I dance! Ranbu! Dying Sakura Dance! Frigid Ashes Dance. He cloaks himself in a raiment of blood and begins to whirl. Turning that blood into a blizzard of razor-sharp petals, he raises a slicing wind at will. How's the bite of these "scattered blades"? Come on! Right now I'm invincible! My body feels light. All my anxiety is gone... just because you're here beside me. You're incredible. When I dance with you... a memory of the summer festival surfaces. I was never invincible at all. I only made myself look invincible. And I'm sure you noticed it. Yet even so... you still believed in me! Thought I was cool! Thought I was strong! You're so kind. Ranbu! Twin Festival Dance! If you still believe in me, then I don't care if it's only for show. I'll puff out my chest and say it loud! Well? How's that? See? I look pretty cool, don't I? Mei, the scary monsters are all gone now. You all right? Still scared? Papa and Mama are dead. Maybe it's okay if I die. Wanting to die, that's one answer, right? But don't you dare die! If you die, it means you and your mom and dad all lost. But if you keep living, smiling at the future, then nobody lost. Live! Live and fight! Fight? Yeah! Fight despair! And to do that, the very first thing you've gotta do is... cheer for me. Cheer... I'll fight, too! I'm going to smash the ones who stole your family! So when you feel like you want to live... shout from the bottom of your gut, "Give it everything!" for me. Stay right here. The monsters are down, and the bad guys won't find you so easily. But if something happens, hide like before, okay? Are you really going? It's impossible! You'll lose. There's no way... ...that I'll lose. My heart says it won't let me, and that's good enough. I won't give in to despair! That's my brand-new motto! Mudano! Mudano! Mudano! Mudano! Mudano's awake! How long was I out? About fifteen minutes, sir. Fifteen minutes, huh? We're sorry, sir. You got hurt shielding us. If it had been just you alone, this never would have happened. Forget it. Let's go. Hey! Where are you going in that condition? To Iryuda-dera Temple. My students are there. And you are... Hey, that uniform. You're a Momotaro, right? Kyoto's lead Momotaro, Tsubakiri, can manipulate corpses. You the one they call Tsubakiri? I'll ask once more. Who are you? Shiki Ichinose! The guy who's gonna crush every last Momotaro! Is that so? So you're Shiki Ichinose? That's right. I'm Tsubakiri. Knew it. Hey, how could you do something like that back there? Hmm? What's your problem? What kind of sicko desecrates corpses like that? I don't get it! How could anyone do that? Don't talk like you're human! Huh? Those are lines for the Momotaro, because we have human rights. What? Don't go thinking Oni have rights. Shut it, scum! I'll blow you away! Wait up. Going to see that flashy Oni's corpse? Corpse? My boss killed him. Are you mad about it? Camaraderie between Oni? Spare me. Nah, it's not about team spirit. I'm only interested in my own goal. Hmph. And yet, if looks could kill... That's 'cause I've got a Momotaro right in front of me. And I'm gonna waste every last one of you! And I'm gonna put down every single Oni! Blood Eclipse Release! The Seven Punishments! That strike felt different. Too bad, pal. A swing like that'll never cut me. Bring it. You've got to be kidding. Facing me with that toy? Shiki Ichinose, your blood's not that weak. Shut it. I don't even get what you're rambling about. Only thing that matters is I despise you! I've already decided. I'm throwing in everything I've got! I always figured this day would come. Don't make that face! You still can't control your blood. Shut up! So what? So what if I can't? I'm not gonna quit over that! This is more than I imagined. You dodged it, huh? Did I scare you? Oh, big words. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

You even turn your comrades' corpses into puppets? Are you out of your mind? You're an idiot, aren't you? Huh? Idiots never doubt that their own standard is the only right one. Back when that virus was spreading, there were fools who staged protests claiming it was "just a cold." Then there are the types who refuse all animal products and set livestock "free" on their own. Believing it yourself isn't idiotic, but the idiot is one who forces it on others. He willingly chose to become a puppet. Why is my body... so heavy? This is his ability. When the puppet is a Momotaro, I can borrow their power, too. He mixes bacteria into the oxygen around us and changes its weight. Oni. Eradicate... Oni. Destroy. This guy... Even I didn't see this coming. He's clung to that one line from when he was alive. Eradicate... Oni. Destroy. Whether it's grudge or obsession, that's pure Momotaro spirit! With that spirit, he can be my right-hand man. In death, he can settle his regrets! Can you withstand this weight? It's no use! What is this black wall? Did that Momotaro woman put it up? Maybe we should try another entrance. No. I'm afraid the wall doesn't stop here. All the entrances are probably sealed. But you could destroy it, right, Mudano? Iryuda-dera is above us, packed with tourists. Destroying the wall would likely cause major damage topside. You mean every tourist would have to be evacuated first? That's impossible, sir! Unlike the Momotaro Agency, we don't have any authority! Sensei! Yusurube? When I swept the area earlier, I got an Oni reading. Then the Momotaro barged in. All injured personnel are up top, but some of the Support Unit... Ichinose and Kougasaki included, are trapped inside. Understood. We're out of time. Shiki and the rest are in danger. What's our move? Either way, before we tear this wall down... our first priority is getting every tourist out of here. Uh, Mudano... Hmm? This girl was outside muttering weird stuff. Do you know her? I'm sorry. Someone like me coming to beautiful Kyoto... Please forgive me. So you showed up, Byobugaura. They told me to come help, so... Hey! You're Homare Byobugaura, right? I'm Juji Yusurube, 16! Nice to meet you! My dream? After a date in school uniforms, losing my virginity at my girlfriend's house! I mean, I'd ditch this V-card right now if I could! How 'bout it, huh? Me! Quit fooling around. Come on, this is serious! These are the wholesome hopes and dreams of a fine, upstanding student! I thought this kid was normal. Guess my eye still needs work. Byobugaura. For me... Yes! Sorry, but you turning up now doesn't really help us. Huh? Actually, there is one thing. A way to evacuate every civilian from Iryuda-dera without leaving a single person behind. Um, Sensei, wh-where are we? Yusurube, keep the line open. Roger that. But... what are we doing? We're going to set off a small quake. Huh? We'll trigger a landslide and force the tourists to evacuate. Right now, Byobugaura and I are on the back slope behind Amida Hall at Iryuda-dera. The slide will start right here. A landslide, sir? Isn't that dangerous? Nobody will get caught in it. A light quake won't budge the tourists. But a landslide will be enough to get them out. Once it starts, have everyone evacuate the visitors. With that many soldiers, everyone will sense the danger and clear out. Understood! After that, Yusurube, confirm the tourists are all gone. Do a recon sweep. But how are you going to trigger a landslide? Byobugaura, bring out that titan you summoned before. We'll cause a landslide using that. No way. I can't. I'd... It's fine. I'm here. I might cause more trouble, like before. I have no control over it. I— Then never mind. Yusurube, the plan's canceled. Huh? What should we do? Think of another way. If we delay any longer, the ones inside are in danger. As for you, Byobugaura... you're expelled. I don't need anyone I can't use. Um... I mean... I'm scared. Unleashing a savage titan I can't control... That would be terrifying for anyone! Being afraid isn't the problem. The problem is refusing to change. I know about the incident you caused in the past, too. Everyone's carrying some kind of burden. Even so, they came to Rasetsu Academy because they want to change something. Tell me, why did you come to Rasetsu? I came because I want to learn to control my own blood. Your blood is yours alone. We can't change that. So, Byobugaura, that means you're the one who has to change. I... I want to change! Sensei, what's the plan? We're back on. I knew it! Someone like me... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No, this is fine. Hey! It's an earthquake! Whoa, it's a big one! Hey! We've got a landslide! Everyone evacuate! - They say the slope's collapsing! - Oh, jeez! Get to safety, now! Evacuate! Run! Get far away! Sensei, everyone at Iryuda-dera has safely evacuated! You did well. I'm sorry I wasn't any help. You did good, too, kid. This one's darkness runs deep. But someone always comes along to pull you out of that darkness. That's what this school is for. Getting too close is dangerous. Better keep my distance until I know what I'm dealing with. Shoot! Damn it! Yes. At this point, you won't be able to leave without my permission. Problem solved. But here's also where it starts getting interesting. Walls closing in on me? Your body's gonna shrink a lot. Try to enjoy the experience until you're crushed flat. I'll bust my way out! Not gonna happen. Oni blood requires a lot of focus and mental strength, you know? No way you're getting out in that state. Feels just like the old days. Enclosed spaces naturally make your brain panic. And if it keeps getting tighter, even more so. Can't even use your blood power. You're pretty much guaranteed to get crushed. Huh? That sounded like a blade hitting something? Did he use his blood? Nah, no way. No one could stay sane with walls closing in like that. No way! I once slept in an air duct of an abandoned building. It was filthy, and the stench was brutal. Compared to that place... your box was a halfway-decent lodging. Brat. You thought you could kill me with that third-rate trash? Don't insult me. It only pisses me off! Let all this rage out! Back off. Don't give me orders! I'm already pissed off over here! I'm the one who's gonna take down that Momotaro! Momo... Momo... Peachy thighs. What's with that outfit? Flashing skin in a place like this? What's wrong with it? Think about time and place, dumbass! You just gonna flash skin wherever? Quit pissing me off! What will today's rage bring forth? Two brats? Not a problem. I'll kill you both together! Too slow! What was that speed? I thought he was gonna take my head off. Blood Eclipse Release! Devilish Hysteria! This technique uses anger as its source to generate various effects. Even Ikari can't predict what will come out. Its power varies based on the intensity of his rage. Usable only three times per day. So boots, huh? This one's a dud. The quality of my rage must have been off. Speed type, huh? Not a good match for me. Blood Eclipse Release. Rebirth's Deluge. Hey! Why the hell is it shaking? Quit shaking! I've tried to contain the damage to keep it from reaching Iryuda-dera, but the branch facility will likely collapse. The Kyoto base will be wiped out? Nothing is more important than a life. Rescuing your comrades comes first! It'll collapse any minute now. - Yes, sir! - Yes, sir! It's noisy outside. Hey! This place is gonna come crashing down on us? What the hell, seriously? Surrender quietly. Muda! You're here? We were just getting to the good part! Don't butt in! I already understand your ability. You sealed off Kyoto base and fought in battle, too. You should have no strength left. You can't run, either. "Run"? What are you talking about? You see how many Oni are right in front of me? There's no way I'm running. I'm a Momotaro. I exterminate Oni. I'll kill every last one of you right here. Guess I'll wrap this up. Got out! So it has limited coverage! Maybe I was a little too gentle with you. Don't you act smug... with me! That means nothing when I control gravity. Damn it! You can barely move now, huh? By the way, I can also do this. I can increase the weight of the oxygen in this space to a hundred times the normal amount. Picture a sphere and compress it. If I do that, it creates an oxygen sphere weighing several tons. Basically, it's like an iron wrecking ball. But this one's a little different. When a multi-ton oxygen sphere hits and compresses at the impact point, the shockwave will travel inward and crush your body from the inside with hundreds of Gs of force. Still, he's a total weakling. No way he's really Kishin's kid, right? Ki... shin? Huh? You don't know? Once called the most powerful Oni general in history. You carry the blood of Kishin. In other words... you're Kishin's child. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it?

Thank you for your hard work. Thanks for your hard work! Starting today, I've been reassigned to HQ. I'm Hina Momota! It's a pleasure to meet you! It's such an honor to be working with the famous Samidare! You don't need to butter me up. I'm not! But, wow, HQ is amazing. Just how many powerful people are behind this place? Sorry, but I don't do teamwork. I work alone. What? But pairing up is part of the rules! Mr. Samidare! Um, do you know anything about the so-called "Children of Kishin" everyone's been talking about? I'm new and from the countryside, so I don't really get it. A long time ago, there was an Oni who nearly destroyed the Momotaro Agency. That Oni was called Kishin. They say Kishin impregnated many women, passing on his power to the children they bore. Huh? But isn't that kinda weird? If Kishin had that many kids and those kids had kids, wouldn't that mean Kishin's descendants are everywhere? To be precise, a "Child of Kishin" refers to a child who inherited Kishin's power. So that means some didn't inherit his power? Actually, most didn't. But strangely, we know that at certain points in time, Children of Kishin tend to be born. "Certain points?" It only happens when the Momotaro side is dominating the Oni. That's when kids with Kishin's power start popping out. When did you... Uh... um... I'm Captain Shinya Momoiwa, Unit 21! CAPTAIN SHINYA MOMOIWA, UNIT 21 You're a newbie, right? Remember that! Th-Thank you for your hard work! He seems kinda scary. Hey, rookie! You know why the war between the Momotaro and the Oni has been going on for thousands of years? Um... Spit it out, already, blockhead! Yikes. This guy's giving off major office bully vibes. The first Kishin appeared right when our ancestors were about to obliterate the Oni. Ever since then, every time we push the Oni to the brink, some new Kishin-powered brat shows up. That's why this damn war never ends! If it weren't for the Kishin showing up, the Oni would have been wiped out ages ago! And now those bastards have learned how to blend in and live among humans! Rookie! You get why it's a problem if Oni can hide among humans, right? I really don't like this guy. Such a smug jerk. Because it's the Momotaros' mission to protect humans from the Oni. And if humans found out about us or the Oni, that'd be bad, so if the Oni can blend in— Cut the crap! I'm talking about what comes after that, genius! I just wanna go back to the countryside. Sometimes in the fight against the Oni, people get caught in the crossfire! And when that happens, it's the politicians connected to us who clean up the mess! I mean, I guess that makes sense, but... And now those same politicians demand things like, "Make medicine out of Oni blood!" Always demanding more! If the Oni didn't pose as people, the goddamn politicos wouldn't be able to use us! No need to shout. I'm sure she understands. Um... Doesn't the fact that important people are helping mean they want to protect others, too? Are you stupid? Those politicians only lend a hand so they'll be the first ones protected when things go south! You really live in la-la land, huh? Rough break, huh? Even someone like you, Samidare, getting stuck with a rookie like this. Then again, even if he is one of the Children of Kishin, getting wrecked by that brat Shiki Ichinose and losing an arm, guess you had it coming. Maybe the higher-ups want you out of the field and put into training duty. A silent little nudge from above, right? How about you give up that seat, already? Whoa, this is getting messy. Anyway, I don't really care. I'm gonna rise through the ranks by killing one of those Children of Kishin. Shiki Ichinose is mine. Do whatever you want with the others. Is that revenge for your injury or just trying to settle an old score? Um, is Shiki Ichinose the only Child of Kishin? No, there's more than one. There have always been exactly eight Children of Kishin. And you're one of them. If that Kishin power wakes up, you're a problem. Naturally, that means you've gotta go. But rather than just kill you, wouldn't it be smarter to study you? That's why, starting today, you're my lab rat. You're coming in alive. Barely, if need be. Half-dead is fine. Shut the hell up! Oni healing is seriously impressive. I'm a bit jealous. It's something we Momotaro lack. Kishin or not, I don't give a damn! I'm not letting you get away with this! I'll make you pay for what you did! My head... Firing off that much high-density blood? You'll run dry fast. I can't move... can't even summon my gun. Damn it! If a Child of Kishin can't even use their blood, they're just another weakling. This place is falling apart, so let's wrap it up. You can barely move. So next... maybe I'll start by offing that brat over there. Not a single one of you will make it out. Is that... Huh? Mei! Run! Is that how you killed Papa and Mama, too? Hmm? Killed what, now? I don't really bother remembering maggot extermination. How could you? Papa and Mama didn't do anything. They were so kind. I mean, seeing Oni pretending to have familial love gives me goosebumps. Shut up, you piece of trash! Mei! You need to run! Now! Mei. Mei... Hmm... Oh! Your parents, weren't they that couple? The bald guy with a beard and his wife? Yeah, I remember. He did call out "Mei!" Man, that whole thing cracked me up. They were bawling for your life. "Please, just save our kid!" Pathetic. Rubbing their heads on the ground. That's why I let you go on purpose. They looked so relieved until I told them, and their faces just dropped. I told them, "After I kill you two, I'll do the same to your kid." Your precious little girl will run around scared and alone, then die. Picture it... the look on her face the moment she dies. Mei! Don't! She'll cry out for you, "Papa! Mama!" as she dies. And you won't even be able to hold her hand. Don't think an Oni gets to die a peaceful death! Mei! Don't cry! That's just what he wants! We'll beat him, then cry together! So... don't sit there crying all alone! You're crying, too, aren't you? I don't get how you can even cry. Shut up! It's because I've got a heart! The truth is, I wanted to look away from Mei's pain. Because I understand. I understand it too well. Hey, Mei, losing someone you love really hurts... doesn't it? It's because I have a heart... that I understand Mei's pain and her parents' regret. That's why these tears come out. If you can't understand that... then you're the real monsters! An Oni talking about hearts? Don't make me laugh! I'll crush that filthy little heart of yours! That's a fitting end for you! You just sit there and watch... as that rugrat gets smushed. Stop it! I still regret not being able to protect my old man then. I was weak in both body and heart. I thought I'd finally become strong enough to fight, but... You're so empty, you can't even use your precious blood anymore. I don't want to regret anything ever again. I know I've got nothing left. But still, I'm begging you! Give me... the strength to protect! Each Child of Kishin possesses a unique elemental attribute. Fire. Water. Lightning. Earth. Wind. Ice. Darkness. Light. A key trait of the Children of Kishin is that each inherits one of these eight attributes. Shiki Ichinose's attribute is fire. The flame-wielding Kishin... is called... Enki. What is this? This is Kishin's power? I don't get it, but I can still fight. With this, I can fight! Let's end this right here, right now, you bastard! I reject every part of you! So this is Enki. I can feel the pressure from him. But his body was almost dead moments ago. If I crush him before he recovers, there's no problem. He should be empty by now. If he can do this with just a little blood, he's way too dangerous! Damn. My whole body hurts. I can't control the blood or the flames. Even if his Kishin power has awakened, he's still badly wounded. Out of gas is out of gas. If you were at full strength, maybe things would've turned out differently! It'd be a problem if he goes berserk again. I have no choice. I'll bring him back as a corpse! Gravity... increase! Increase! That brat's a nuisance, too. You're nothing but vermin who can only crawl in the shadows! Your death is the only thing you're good for! Your parents died pathetically! And I'll kill you just the same! Shut up! What did Mei's family ever do to you? Mei and her family were just living quietly! Just because we're Oni, does that mean we're doomed to live such sad lives? Are we not even allowed to hope for happiness? Oni don't deserve happiness! You don't need some kind of right to be happy! Hey, aren't we allowed to be happy? Mei, you're allowed to live your life smiling! You can go wherever you want... see whatever sights you want to see! There's no such thing as a living being who isn't allowed to be happy. An Oni has no right to talk about ideals! I'll crush your future along with you using my ultimate attack! You're out of blood to make bullets with, aren't you? Mei, your life is going to be amazing from here on out. You're allowed to be happy! I'm rooting for your future! Oni have no future! It's okay, Mei. From now on, you'll meet so many people. And among them, someone will surely be there to cheer for your happiness. Papa. Mama. Give it everything! The flames just came back to life? Get crushed already! This can't be happening. Mei... Give it everything! Shiki, hang in there! You kept your promise. Thank you! No way. This is impossible.

No way I could lose. Damn it. I underestimated him. I can't even feel the heat anymore. Manaka... I wanted to remain a researcher with the Momotaro Agency... because I had no interest in the deaths of others. The days of dissecting Oni passed monotonously... and every morning was peaceful. But then... Hey! You! Join my team! Manaka Momobe. I hated this man. He twisted people's lives without warning. I refuse. Despite what I'd said, the next day, I was reassigned to Manaka's unit. Orders from above are absolute. Manaka was bold and passionate, and he was deeply trusted by his comrades. He even had the compassion to offer prayers for the Oni he had killed. I couldn't comprehend it. Ever since my parents were killed by Oni when I was a child... I clearly felt something inside me lose its warmth. I didn't have a candle in my heart that burned for revenge. I even thought I'd become lighter, now that there was no one left I cared about. Both my parents were always tied up with work for the Momotaro Agency and were barely ever home. Even when they died, all I could think was, "Oh, I see." Welcome. My wife and daughter are my pride and joy! Ever since the day I told Manaka about my family... he took me to his house every day and made me eat dinner with his family. As Manaka dragged me along... my once straightforward life became more like a maze. People live and die. Life is meant to be a simple, straight path. But our relationships twist that path into a complicated maze. I thought it was suffocating... but for the first time in a long while, I actually tasted my food. Why even start a family when you're doing this kind of work? Don't you think they're a liability? What are you talking about? Having them fires me up, makes me swear to come back alive. Also quit smoking already! I refuse. The things you hold dear become your weakness. And that became reality. It happened when we raided a home where Oni lived. An Oni child was there. For a moment, Manaka saw his daughter in that child, and in that instant, the Oni escaped outside. The Oni fled into the city and went berserk, turning the surroundings into a sea of blood. Two of the victims were Manaka's wife and daughter... who just happened to be there while out shopping. Manaka killed the Oni... but couldn't shield his wife and child in time. They were slaughtered. I was wrong. Showing sympathy to an Oni was a mistake. If only I'd stayed cold and ruthless... my family wouldn't be dead! Oni must be annihilated on the spot. Even children must not be spared. I can't believe it's ending like this. Tsubakiri... use my corpse... And so I began controlling Manaka's body... and before I knew it, I had risen to captain. But it's okay. I haven't lost yet. Right, Manaka? This isn't the end yet, is it? I'll avenge you! As long as Oni exist in this world, you and I will keep fighting together! I won. Amazing. Mei! It's dangerous here, too. We need to run! Let's head for an exit. Shiki! Mister! Mister! Mudano... what should we do here? She's shut herself in. There are too many of them, and Mudano's a pain to deal with. She doesn't even have the strength left to keep sealing off the base. Let's leave her. Are you sure? A collapse is imminent. Our top priority is rescuing those inside. Let's move. You! Yo. You're alive? Got my carotid artery cut, almost died. Drank some of my own blood and came back to life, pretty much. Honestly, it was just luck I came back. I snuck over here to get treatment. The others are getting ready to evacuate. Pathetic. Yeah, I think so, too. Before we wrap this up... what did you think of Shiki Ichinose's Kishin power? It was incredible. But to me, it looked like he was burning his very life away. Hey! What is this "Kishin power"? I'll explain later. First, let's just get out of here. Boss... why'd you go and die? You can't just die like that. I mean, Boss... your daughter was just born, wasn't she? No one really knows why Tsubakiri started a family... but there's no doubt Manaka's influence played a part. A weirdo. Creepy. More than a few people called Tsubakiri names like that. But he stayed true to his way of life. A man who... through meeting another... came to fully embody the Momotaro spirit. Tsubakiri Momomiya... dead at 31. Where am I? Oh, you're awake. The pretty-boy doc! We rented out an inn that's run by Oni. It's past 5 a.m. now. The other students are resting in their rooms. Professor Mudano... You really took down Tsubakiri, huh? I see. I won. But Mei's mom and dad aren't coming back, huh? That's right. We lost too much to celebrate anything. Even so, we've got to face forward. For now... let's just be glad that we made it to morning. Later! Next time, let's do something normal, like sightseeing! For real! Come visit! I'm taking Mei in, so drop by every now and then! Hey, we're taking off. Did you go pee? I'm fine. Mr. Shiki! Thank you! See you! See you! The Oni Agency is mainly divided into three units, Battle Unit, Medical Unit, and Reconnaissance Unit. There are finer distinctions, but after graduation, you'll join one of these groups, whichever best matches your blood's characteristics. If you're not motivated, you can leave. Also, Shiki, quiet down. That's it for class today. During homeroom, you'll be deciding your dorm pairings. Room assignments? It's a full boarding setup, two per room. Hurry up and pick your partners. What is this, like a school trip? That's awesome! Living with someone else? Spare me. Excuse me, Professor Mudano! There's going to be one left over! The odd man out will room with me. So basically, one of us is getting sent to jail! No way! I'd rather die! You're an idiot, so you room with him! I don't even get a say in this. If I room with the teacher, he might save me when it counts. I'm rooming with this guy. What? What does that mean? Wait, is that how it is with them? Don't talk to me, trash. I'll kill you! No, I'm just... I really thought you were one of us. One of what? Nope. Boys and girls will be split up. Then who's gonna look after this guy? What do you mean, "look after"? First I wake him up, then have XXX, feed him, brush his teeth, dress him, pack lunch, wipe his butt, then XXX before heading out, prep dinner after we're home, take a bath together, feed him dinner, brush his teeth, have XXX again, and then put him to bed. I don't know if I'm jealous or just pissed off. Oh? We've got something in common, then. Don't get cocky, got it? So how far did you two go? Like hell it's okay for a guy and girl to share a room! That kinda stuff's for after you turn 20. You dumbasses. Spouting common sense with a filthy mouth. That guy's 100% still a virgin. I mean, me, too, though. Gotta be. Me, too, though. Byobugaura! Talk some sense into Sazanami! Otherwise, Kiriyama's gonna have all the fun! Uh... um... I'm sorry. If I'm gone, the numbers will even out, right? I'm sorry I didn't think of it sooner. I'll stay outside. What? Why? I'll sleep outside. Uh, could I at least get a cardboard box? This hurts my soul! Kougasaki! You're bunking with the teacher! Case closed! I'm fine on my own. - Huh? - Huh? That guy can't read the room! It's not, "I'm fine alone." It's, "I prefer to be alone!" Bet he sings English pop at karaoke. Fine, how about you and me room together? Wait, what about me? You're leaving me out? Screw you! I hate being with other people! You're just as bad at reading the room. Are you dumb? Did I just get left out? Uh... um... If it's okay, would you room with me? Sazanami kinda scares me. Why the hell are boys and girls split up? He can't do anything without me! Kiriyama... you know what ticks me off most? Getting pitied by some normie. What's the plan? Gonna grace us non-normies with daily updates on your XXX life? Slowly chipping away at our mental health, huh? I'm definitely gonna die alone like this. Relax. You've got me, don't you? Normies. This is going nowhere. Why don't you just pair up with the teacher? No way! I wanna talk about crushes and stuff before bed, too! No one's gonna do that. Couldn't go in middle school, 'cause I was suspended. Then got expelled before I could start high school. So I've always wanted to go on a school trip. You went to high school, Shiki? Huh? You didn't? My power awakened early, so I never got to go. Must be nice. I didn't go, either, and never wanted to. I didn't realize. Everyone here's been through some stuff. Enough stalling. Hurry up and decide. The girls are already paired. Guess we'll settle this with good ol' rock-paper-scissors. A rock-paper-scissors remix where you split up by what you throw. One, two... Three! No! It's fine. If I'm stuck with the teacher, that just means no more solo time. Guess it's eco-friendly. Less tissue waste. Yes! Prison sentence avoided! This sucks! Rooming with that guy is zero fun! Why? Why'd I go with rock? Shiki is the heir to the Kishin's power. He's Kishin's Child. So what if you're Kishin's kid? Don't let it go to your head. Huh? Why's he so combative all the time? What happened? Forget it. That's obviously not gonna fly. Let us share a room. Wonder how Mei's doing? She's probably doing her best... believing she can change her future and be happy. For the sake of future hope, she decided to live in the present with everything she's got. I will, too. Even I can fight for my future starting now. This is my chance. If I take down Ichinose, the one who defeated Tsubakiri, my value will skyrocket. And it could be the perfect opportunity to drag Samidare down with him for letting Ichinose escape. Hey, we're moving out, too. Are you sure about this? Pretty sure this is outside our jurisdiction. Doesn't matter. As long as we get results, no one's gonna complain. I'm gonna take Shiki Ichinose's head.

Professor Muda is seriously an ogre. He's a real ogre! What's with him? He got sick of your grumbling! At least give us some peace and quiet when we're taking a bath. Whatever. The moment is over, so I'm not going to break in with, "Yeah, Professor Mudano is a real Oni." Thanks, man! I appreciate that! I felt sorry for you, being left hanging like that. I know Sazanami is right outside. Want some milk, Rokuro? Let me blow-dry your hair! I'll clean your ears! I'm scared! Braggart! I know, right? I'm not bragging! Rokuro! Hey! Get your ass out here! Rokuro! Hey, get the hell outta here! This ain't mixed bathing! I've got no interest in seeing your nude bodies! - That's not the point! Hey! - Out of my way! Hey, Rokuro! Do something! B-Bath with a girl? We're going to do an evacuation drill. You have ten minutes to assemble in the gym. Evacuation drill? So this is where the gym is. You're late. I was taking a bath. Can you blame me? And I thought classes were over for today. We're putting the storm to good use. Would you prefer training outdoors instead? Nope! Love me an evacuation drill! This rain is crazy. Feels like the roof's gonna fly off. What kind of place do you think this is? Rasetsu Academy isn't so poorly built, it'll buckle from a little storm. This isn't just about learning how to respond during disasters. If you can't act quickly as a team in an emergency, you're useless to any unit. That's what this training is for. Everything you'll need has been provided. Everyone is to remain in the gym until further notice. I'll be patrolling the campus. You guys go ahead and have dinner first. Lame. It's just a drill. So we just stay here? Weirdly warm in here. So we're on standby, but what are we supposed to do, exactly? What if this is a trap or something? Totally possible! Is that... - Huh? - Huh? A pot? If we open it... boom! What? When you don't have bomb disposal gear, it's best to stay back and just shoot it. Knock it off, dumbass! P-Please, just don't blow up the food! Kidding! I was just kidding! Are you that stupid? Don't go calling me stupid, stupid! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to think of you as an idiot, Ichinose! Somehow that hurts even more. Seriously, it's just idiots all the way down. If you guys keep screwing around, Rokuro's gonna starve. Huh? Me? Sit tight over there. I'll take care of everything. Oh, it's just curry. Good thing... ...some idiot didn't blow up the food. Huh? I wasn't the one acting all suspicious. It was you, right, Kougasaki? Not really. You gave it that shady look and muttered, "Is that..." didn't you? Be honest! I just guessed it'd be curry. What, you're just really into curry? Hey, does anybody want this? Shiki Ichinose. Born February 4th. Favorite food: meat. Hates any food that's green. Just your average boy in Japan. Picky eating isn't good for you, you know. I don't even get vegetables. Homare Byobugaura. Born February 14th. Favorite food: stir-fried bean sprouts. However, not so much that she wants leftovers from a guy. Fine. Guess I'll just drown it in curry and eat it. No fair! Huh? If you want more, eat what you have first! There's still plenty left. All right! I'm ready for another heaping helping! Jin Kougasaki. Born September 17th. Hates spicy food. But he will never admit that fact to anyone. Hey, we're about to run out here! Must be nice having strong stomachs. Want me to go get you seconds? Uh, I'm good. If I eat too much, I get kinda nauseous. But... they even have pudding? This is the best. Oh? So you like pudding? It's my absolute favorite. Absolute favorite. So you like it that much? Who do you love more, me or the pudding? Your favorite, huh? H-Hold on! Stop shaking me! I'm getting sick! Rokuro Kiriyama. Born June 6th. Favorite food: pudding. Suffers from extreme anxiety and gets sick really easily. Kuina Sazanami. Born August 21st. Favorite type: hopeless guys. Her current fixation: Rokuro Kiriyama. I'll make you a whole bucket of pudding! Huh? That actually sounds kinda nice. Right? I'm your number one, aren't I? Wait, no, I didn't mean it like— Whatever! For today, just eat my pudding, too! Man, that curry hit the spot! I'm totally stuffed. Same here. I even got an extra-large second helping of bean sprouts. Wait, did someone forget to take a pudding? I had one! I ate mine! Me, too! And I... Sazanami gave me hers, so I ate that one, too. If there's an extra, can we give it to her? Don't worry about it! Just eat another one, already! Nah, three puddings is a bit much. If you don't want it, then I don't want it, either. So what should we do with this leftover pudding? Dibs! If nobody wants it, I'm taking it! Huh? What, you still hungry, Kougasaki? Yeah, I guess. Then say so, man. Here, take the last of the curry. I'll let you have it. Don't hold back. We're roommates, after all. I'll kill you. All clear. Is this an emergency? Naito, thanks for doing the rounds. Principal? Seems the storm's messing with the signal. My phone's out of range, so I had to ask Mukkun. But honestly, even after walking around, I haven't seen anything suspicious, you know? I figured as much. Still, since this is a drill, I'm following protocol. You should just enjoy this chance and have some fun with the students. I'll check in on them later. You're so stiff. I mean, maybe they'll relax more without a teacher breathing down their necks. I hope that bunch can start to get along. After all, it's having comrades that makes an Oni truly strong. That's easier said than done. Each of them carries their own burden. That's why they came to this academy in the first place. Sure, they gripe about everything... but none of them have the luxury of just hanging out with friends right now. Yeah, you're right about that. Well, maybe I can help things along. You're seriously annoying. You're the one being annoying! If you wanted the pudding so bad, you should've just said so. Jeez. Idiot! I'll make that smirk widen from ear to ear! Blood Eclipse Release! This just got fun. Blood Eclipse Release! Get him! Die! What are you doing? I see. You were risking your lives over pudding. No. I was just trying to off this guy because he pissed me off. That's no excuse for activating Blood Eclipse Release! I was just defending myself! I'm innocent! I don't care that you didn't leave any for me, but... I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I ate all the bean sprouts! I'm just a gluttonous piece of trash! I'm sorry! Wait, was that food not just for us? Then he should have said that from the start. First come, first served, right? Raise your head, Byobugaura. It's true. I never said any of it was for me. But all of you will remain here until morning. Fighting and damaging the facility is strictly forbidden. Anyone who leaves this place without permission is expelled. The professor took the pudding. What's wrong? He forgot to take a spoon. Should we go give it to him? Don't. Just don't. You step out of here, you're expelled. We've eaten. It's time for us youngsters to get some sleep. You sound like a kindergartener. Hey, since we're all stuck here, let's tell love stories! Love talk! You're still on about that? Only if it's about Rokuro. Huh? Is this some kind of torture? Aw, come on! You guys are no fun! Hey, Kougasaki! You, too! Get over here! What happened to team spirit, huh? Don't bother with me. Tch! Fine, let's play cards or something. So basically, you just want to hang out with everyone. I'm sleeping with Rokuro, so don't bother us. Uh, um, I don't think that's a great idea! And that's exactly the problem. I've been wondering ever since this drill started. We're spending the night with the girls, right? Huh? Yeah, we're just gonna talk and sleep. What's your point? Juji Yusurube. Born March 19th. It's not like I'm thinking impure thoughts or anything! But if this were a story, something's supposed to happen! In a setup like this, something should happen, don't you think? If you're red-blooded lads, you'll know where I'm coming from! He's just a pervert. Sorry, but I don't get you at all. What? Um... wouldn't it be better if we slept separately? You know, boys and girls? Don't be shy, Rokuro. We'll sleep after we xxxx. Are you stupid? Of course that's not okay! Ikari Yaoroshi. Born November 11th. No tolerance for dirty jokes. Believes dating should only start after age 20. Girls, behind this curtain! Dudes, go over there! This is exciting, isn't it? So what kind of fun can you even have with just the guys? It's kinda like a school trip, though, right? A school trip, huh? It's been a long time since I've felt safe enough to sleep like this. Hey! Don't crash on me yet! If a bunch of guys are hanging out like this, it's ghost story time. G-Ghost stories? Those are kinda played out, right? I'm fine with it. I'm in. This will be easier if we limit it to some theme. Like, how about high school girls? This is a story that actually happened at a girls high school near my family home. One day after school, the head of the brass band was alone in the music room. Oh, by the way, this band captain looked like the very picture of grace and good conduct. But behind that elegant exterior, she secretly had an unusually strong curiosity about... I don't mind. That internal conflict only made her more mysteriously alluring... That's a pretty sudden development. Right? It surprised me, too, but the Kyoto base is completely tied up with rebuilding for a while. I tried to call you right away, Danny, but the call wouldn't go through. I seriously thought you'd blocked me and almost cried. You really think I'd do something like that? What? You being all sweet suddenly just throws me off. I didn't call to chitchat. I'm hanging up. Come on, tell me about the kids, especially Shiki. Are you being too hard on them? They're not calling you an ogre or anything, right? I'm holding back, enough that no one dies. There's no problem. See, it's that kind of wording that makes people misunderstand you. Still, I think those kids understand your kindness in their own way. After all, they've experienced real fear before. This is something that's been happening to me. Ever since we got back from Kyoto, I've had trouble sleeping. Even in bed, I feel like someone's watching me. That's just Sazanami. Obviously. Oh, it's just about a person, not a ghost. Okay then, my turn. As you all know, I share a dorm room with Professor Mudano. But the thing is, he's hardly ever in the room. I end up alone most of the time. All right! Should have enough time for a sub-boss battle! But I swear, every time, those footsteps come like clockwork. The terror... Oh, it's just Muda. That's not scary at all! All right, my turn. Mine's the real deal, a story where people have actually died. I-I can't wait! I had this friend who was really into bikes. He used to tear up this mountain pass, and there was this one curve with a bad reputation. They say at night, you can hear a woman's voice there, and that, no matter what, you must never turn around. Maybe the battery ran out? That timing was a little too perfect. Someone just screamed like a total coward. Wh-Who was that? So lame. So the rumor is true. What rumor? They say ghost stories attract ghosts. Cut it out! If you say that, a ghost really will... Seriously? So ghosts really do exist. First time I ever seen one! I'm gonna nab it! Ghosts are really strong, huh? Let go of me, you morons! Let go! - I'm sorry! I'm sorry! - Shut up! What the hell are you doing? Nope, nope, nope! I can handle anything, but not ghosts! Huh? Don't you think that was a bit much? Come on, I just meant to spook them a little. I had no idea this kid was that afraid of ghosts. He didn't lose control exactly, but yeah, still got a long way to go on power regulation. Well... let's just tell the kids they had a weird dream. After all, everyone's got a secret or two. Like a bad dream Even when I wake up, it's the worst, every day Inherited and passed down, this descent How long will I keep protecting it? Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze I've already crossed the line Even if I regret it, there's no tomorrow What is justice?

I have no idea! No choice. Break down! Stick now to my guns, go my own way I feel like I had a really awful dream. Same here. Maybe it was the storm. All right, you lot. Your next field exercise has been decided. - Huh? - Oh? We're going somewhere again? Yeah. Your next destination is... Tokyo. ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E13.en-US Come on! Out of all Tokyo, we're in Hikarigaoka? That's practically like Saitama! If it were Shinjuku or something, I could at least wander around and shop! Hey. Did you come here to mess around? I came here to learn. And don't mock Hikarigaoka. Or Saitama. Sorry. But still, isn't it okay to have a little fun, Professor Muda? Use the alias. Professor Kondo. After the Kyoto incident, disguises and aliases are a must. Tch. What a loser. SHUN (JIN KOUGASAKI) S-Sorry. You holding up okay? Ah, yeah. I'm good. Am I the only one not in disguise? We're heading straight to the hotel. Be ready. Tomorrow morning, we're hitting the tours hard. Also, Natsu... after the tour tomorrow, go here for a blood draw. Blood draw? Why?

He's great, but I'm more into this channel called GunMania46. You're the first person I've met who knows about that one! We're totally on the same wavelength, uh... Ah, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mikado. On paper, it looks like "Gate of God." What about you? I'm Shik— Uh... Use the alias. I'm Natsu! Natsu, like "summer," huh? Were you born in August? Nah, February. Your parents must have a really unique sense of naming. Mind if I just call you by name? We're probably the same age, right? Yeah. I'm 19. Seriously? You're older than me? In the grand scheme of things, we're both still teens. Man, mature much? So are you a college student or something? Nope. I'm a police officer. A cop? Seriously? I'm not great with cops. Why the hell would you wanna become one? Hmm. I guess I just wanted to protect people from bad guys? Huh. That's actually kinda noble. Thanks, but yeah. It comes with a lot of headaches. Check that guy out. Dude looks shady as hell. Yeah, kind of intimidating at first glance. But earlier, I saw him give the goldfish he caught at the festival to a kid with a big smile. - No way. He's actually a good guy? - Where were you? Exactly! That's the point. I want to decide for myself whether someone's good or bad. Always by the law, of course. That's fair, honestly. But my boss is the total opposite. Super ambitious and arrests people left and right. He's not wrong per se. It's just a difference in values. So that's how it is. Kinda reminds me of my homeroom teacher. Sounds like you've got it tough, too, Natsu. But still, Mikado, you're your own person. It'd be a damn shame to let anyone, boss or not, make you change your views. I vote for sticking to who you are! Yeah, you're right. You're pretty impressive, Natsu. Huh? You've shown me that greatness doesn't depend on age. Come on, don't get all mushy on me. Oops, I'd better get going before I get chewed out. Before that, mind giving me your contact info? Let's hang out properly next time. Sure, why not? Though I don't actually live around here. Oh, yeah? Where do you live, then? Uh, up north somewhere? You're a real piece of work. Oh, right! After the tour tomorrow, go here for a blood draw. I'm free tomorrow evening. Then let's go somewhere. Okay. All right, saved! Hmm? SHINYA WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING Anyway, thanks! I had a great time. You got it, public servant! Go serve with pride! Room assignments are the same as in the dorms. Nobody goes outside until tomorrow's practical training. Seriously? We come all the way to Tokyo, and we're eating bentos? What if Rokuro's nutrition gets all out of whack? I mean, I'm fine with whatever. As long as it's food, who cares. So, what are we doing about that idiot? I'm going to go reel him in. I had to get you guys settled in first. Little bastard makes me waste my damn time. Same room pairings as the dorms. This could be my shot! Sorry I'm late. Where the hell have you been wandering off to? I got a little lost. What do you think we're dressed as cops for? We're out here looking for Shiki Ichinose! You're in the perfect getup for asking around, and you're out here slacking? Start acting like a vice captain, idiot! Understood. I'll be more careful. MIKADO MOMODERA MOMOTARO AGENCY Let's go. Guess I had that coming. I did screw up. Still, though... That cop was actually kinda cool. That guy... That guy... I think we'll be good friends. TOUGEN BOOKSTORE First stop is the Reconnaissance Unit here in Nerima. We'll hear them out. Uh, it's a used bookstore. Just get in there. Don't go wandering off like somebody did. Dumbass, dumbass. I'll take this. Would you like it gift-wrapped? I'm good. Ah, you're Mudano's group. We got word as soon as you entered Nerima. Please keep browsing while I talk. We don't want to draw suspicion from passersby. I thought it'd be all high-tech like in Kyoto. Kyoto is a special case. It has a long history and covers a huge area. Here in Nerima, most of our people are out on reconnaissance. This much space is plenty. Of course, the Nerima branch keeps the critical intel and facilities hidden underground. Oh, nice! So Nerima's got the good stuff, too? We get to check it out today? Sorry, but that's not happening. Aw, come on. I'm Kaoru Namikido, Recon Unit. To put it simply, anyone joining the Oni Agency is generally assigned to one of three units: Combat Unit, Medical Unit, or Recon Unit. Yeah, I've heard of that! I'm totally gonna be in the Combat Unit! Quiet down and keep pretending to browse. Feel free to ask questions anytime, though. The Combat Unit engages the Momotaro Agency directly on the front lines. That one's totally me. The Medical Unit doesn't just treat battlefield injuries. They also provide care for Oni living in hiding. TODAY'S MEAL If possible, I'd like to do something that helps people. The Recon Unit specializes in stealth. We gather intel, track targets, and sometimes even make direct contact... without ever being noticed. Yeah, that feels like my lane. Whichever unit Rokuro ends up in, I'll go with that. Honestly, I don't feel cut out for any of them. Um, may I ask something? Go ahead. We're hearing a lot of stuff today. Should we be taking notes? Let me ask you something instead. Would you be able to take notes in front of an enemy? Of course keeping records is important. But us recon types mainly store intel right here. Especially if it's life-or-death info. Earlier, I said I wouldn't show you the Nerima safehouse. By now, I'm sure you know why. If any of you were captured and tortured by the Momotaro Agency, that could be a big problem. Even if they tortured me, I wouldn't say a damn word! That's admirable. But the Momotaro aren't that soft. You do know the Momotaro have abilities just like the Oni, right? U-Um, does that mean some of them can read people's minds or something? It's not out of the question. Some Momotaro have unique powers, and even within their own ranks, the details are kept secret. But if information did fall into their hands... TOUGEN BOOKSTORE That's why intel is everything. Natsu, if you look that paranoid, people are going to notice. Just act natural. For real? Natural. Be natural. Natural. Hey, get back here, damn it! Quit drawing attention to yourself. But come on. Like I said earlier, most security cameras in the city are linked to the Momotaro Agency. If any blood gets spilled, the system detects it and alerts the local Momotaro instantly. I figured as much. But yeah, we're always being watched. My stomach's starting to hurt. Wait, just being seen by a camera isn't enough to give us away, right? Yeah. No need to panic over nothing. There are plenty of Oni quietly living among everyday people like this. And it's part of the Oni Agency's duty to support them. Anyway, we're short on time. Let's move. Next is a tour of the hospital run by the Medical Unit. After that, we'll visit the combat facility. You'll be doing some hands-on training there. That's all for today's tour. Ugh, my brain's full. Can't take in any more. Sorry. I don't have enough muscle for this. I'm dizzy. I might be sick or something. Are you okay? Why don't you rest with your head on my lap? Don't start collapsing just yet. Tomorrow you'll split up and dive even deeper into your areas of interest. Natsu, you're heading for your blood draw now. Yay. Hey! Mudano told me about you. Come on in. An older lady in a public housing unit. This is kinda hot! Thank you. So you're a Kishin kid, huh? What a cutie! And done! Huh? That's it? Yeah, just a blood draw. That's it? Well, I mean, she's hot, so whatever. Wanna look? Go ahead. Here ya go. Though I guess my saggy boobs aren't much to look at, huh? Wait, are you a virgin? Want me to pop your cherry? Huh? What? Why? Well, I'm on my period, so maybe next time. When that time comes, I'll explore your kinks real good. Huh? Is she teasing me? Or is she just completely insane? W-Welp... I'm just gonna head out now! Huh? Not a fan of saggy boobs? Good luck finding perfect, perky ones, then! I guess it's hard to say this to a sweet, innocent boy. "Kid, you deserve to have a little fun. You've got a shorter life than most, after all." Well, guess I won't be short on whack off material for a while. Yo, Mikado. You're early, Natsu. Are you okay? Your eyes are kind of popping out. S-So, what do you wanna do? It's been a while since I saw a movie. Ooh, movie! Yeah, let's go! Hey, this one looks like it's got tons of action, right? Yeah, and it's starting soon. Let's go with that one. I'm gettin' a cola and popcorn! What about you, Mikado? I'll go with a cafe latte. Whoo! Fancy! Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate? This charming little sparring match Good or evil, none of it matters Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think - Hara - I'm so crazy? - oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh That movie was stupidly sad, man. Two childhood friends reunited as enemies on the battlefield. A story where friends have to kill each other? That's too damn tragic. The poster totally lied to me, man. Say... if you and I met as enemies on a battlefield, what would you do? Would you shoot me? Hmm... I don't really like questions like that. It's just a hypothetical. If it were me... I'd make sure nobody died. I'd go straight to the top and end the damn war myself. Isn't that a bit too idealistic? It's all make-believe, anyway, so my answer can be, too. But if there was someone I truly couldn't forgive... that one... I'd take out. Ah, sorry, hold on. Crap, it's my boss. Seriously? Being a cop sounds like a pain. Sorry again! Thanks for today! You got it! Good luck out there! Guess I should head back, too. Huh? Oh, crap! Hey! I'm on my way back right now. Get back immediately. There's been an accident. NEXT TIME PERSONAL RULE ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E14.en-US Rokuro, aren't you tired? I'm starving. Let's hurry up and eat already! It's green! Let's run! Wait, Sis! I wonder what's for dinner. I hope it's Hamburg steak! A truck! Blood Eclipse Release! Make it in time! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! You used your blood, huh? We're leaving. Now. The Momotaro Agency will be moving in. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around We've detected an Oni blood reaction... near Hikarigaoka, Nerima ward, District Seven. Oh? Looks like we caught a dumb Oni. Send the location and video feed to all nearby Momotaro agents immediately. That's close! We're switching locations. You've got 40 seconds to get ready. Yes? Mr. Mudano, we're up to speed on the situation here. I'll guide you all to a safehouse. Please evacuate there. Natsu's operating on his own. Understood. I'll send someone to pick him up. You see the footage? There's an Oni nearby. Yeah. No idea if that guy is Shiki Ichinose or just someone who knows him. Chances are he doesn't even know him at all. What kind of idiot uses blood powers in public? Not only is he not Ichinose, but there's a chance any intel he has is useless, too. Either way, we'll catch him and squeeze him for intel. If he's useless, we kill him and move on. Hmm. Let's not kill this Oni. Huh? I mean, he saved those kids, didn't he? If he hadn't, they would have died instantly. So what, dumbass? An Oni's an Oni. They're made to be killed. I deal with Oni who hurt people. But ones who save people? I don't kill those. My personal rule. "Personal rule"? Give me a break. Still, I think we should talk to him. I'll go find him. I'll do whatever it takes to kill Oni. If I don't... I'll never get my triumph. Whatever. He can do what he wants. I need his power to take down the Kishin kid. I'll use him for all he's worth. And I've got these eyes. These eyes that can seek out my prey. This hideout is usually used by the reconnaissance teams around Nerima for storing classified intel, sharing information, or holding meetings. Wait, isn't that what the used bookstore was for? That place is for gathering intel while blending into daily life. Having lots of those spots really helps throw the enemy off in emergencies. We've sent someone to pick up Natsu. You've really taken care of everything, huh? Appreciate it. What's your plan from here? We're heading back to the academy. Understood. I'll prepare rooms for you to stay in until you depart. Thank goodness. We're going home. What? It's over just like that? I've been stewing ever since Kyoto, you know! What's he even talking about? They're the ones who caused this whole mess. Talk about nerve. Using blood powers out in public like that? Total amateur move. Huh? Got something to say, say it to my face! Natsu has arrived. So you're back. Huh? What's going on here? Wait, for real? You saved kids? That's awesome! They said it was an "accident," so I thought something huge went down. Huh? But why's everyone so tense? You seriously can't read a room, huh? Huh? Isn't this a praise-the-hero kind of moment? That is the appropriate reaction, Natsu, but you being able to say that with this mood is really something. Uh, thanks? Kougasaki, what you did wasn't wrong. But it wasn't exactly right, either. Work on your physical skills. Next time, handle it without using your blood. Still, I didn't peg you as the kid-saving type! I figured you'd just kick them aside and keep walking! That's a pretty wild assumption. I didn't save her. Once again, I couldn't save her. Again? What do you mean— The rooms are ready. We leave at dawn. Get some shut-eye 'til then. Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! Sis! It's the fifth anniversary of the Kanto Nuts Union! Keep the booze comin'! - Yeah! - Yeah! Wait, you're the president of a talent agency? That's amazing! If there's anyone you wanna meet, just say the word! That's so cool. I'm totally obsessed with this one group right now. Oh. Oh? You actually came, Shinya! Looks like you're living large. It's all thanks to you. Drink all you want tonight. I'm not here to celebrate. We're talking business. Get the girls out. What? Seriously? Cut us some slack. It's a party, man. Who gave you the luxury to drink like this? Did you forget who dragged your no-name gang to the top? I'll slam you back to the bottom. S-Sorry! I'll get on it right away. Find this guy. Who is it? You don't need to know. Open your damn eyes and search. Got it? Uh, of course. Then let's hype it up before you head out. Brought some premium stuff. Really? That costs a fortune. Here's to our triumph. You'll be rolling in it if this works out. To your continued success. Cheers! - Cheers! - Cheers! Who is Shinya, anyway? I don't even know his background. But thanks to him, we got big. He's something else. Yeah, but... it's like he sees right through everything. I see it all, the world as you see it. Shinya Momoiwa. He can see through the eyes of anyone infected with his bacteria. The effect lasts for 24 hours, and he can see through the eyes of 36 people at once. Yeah? Hey, you, look to your left. Huh? He's... There's a guy standing there, right? How the hell did he know? Want us to snatch him? No. Hold up. No way these punks can handle an Oni. I need a way to guarantee we bring him in. Why is he even wandering around here? This is where that truck crashed, isn't it? Why would an Oni revisit the scene? Maybe... Hello? You're near a hospital, right? Huh? Uh, yeah. Then sneak in. I-I can't. That's... I'm on probation. If I get caught again— Like I care. Say, didn't you get drunk and sleep with the leader's girl? Wha? How do you know about that? Imagine if he found out. He'd kill you. N-No, anything but that. If you want me to keep my mouth shut, do what I say. You two follow him. The rest, head to the hospital. You mean the girl who was brought in? Sorry, visiting hours are over. You can't see her now. Yeah, I figured. Are you family? No, I was just there when it happened. I wanted to make sure she's okay. The driver fell asleep at the wheel, right? It's getting scary out there. Sorry for the trouble. Ah, wait a second! Technically I shouldn't say this, but she's fine. Just here for observation. She hit her head when protecting her sister, but the scans came back clear. That's a relief. Throb! Big sisters are amazing, huh? Instinctively shielding their little sisters like that. Yeah. Big sisters are remarkable. Who are you guys? Heh. Funny, was gonna ask you the same. We don't know a damn thing about you. Not Momotaro? Whatever. Just come with us. We've got a car waiting. No. Don't know who she is, but you care, right? One move, and she's got a knife in her. If I stab her, I'm going straight to prison. So get in the damn car, already. Where's Shinya? Waiting in that room. That room gives me the creeps. It gives all of us the creeps. Things are finally going my way. You were with Ichinose in Kyoto, right? Just like Yomogi said. Blond hair, stitched-up all over. You're that one for sure. And if you're here, Mudano must be close, too! And if Mudano's here, then Ichinose is, too, right? Where is Kishin's kid? He's with you, isn't he? I'm totally buzzed off this jackpot! Can't help gettin' all hot! How the hell should I know, dumbass? Go jerk off somewhere else. Sheesh, you're no fun. Get fired up a little, will ya? You're worried about the little girl in the hospital, aren't you? What are you planning? Since when has the Momotaro Agency used street punks as lackeys? What are you talking about? I've got no clue. The world's full of sickos, you know? Maybe someone out there is just dying to do something stupid. Maybe someone's sticking close to that girl, ready to do something real nasty. Momotaro would really drag civilians into this? Who knows? I'm not doing anything. Not me, physically. Screw you! Whoa, don't be dumb. You want that girl to stay safe, don't you? Watch him. I'm going out for a while. Right! Don't take your eyes off him. Wait! Where the hell are you going? Now then, if Ichinose and Mudano are both in play, it's gonna be a hassle. Just me and Mikado won't cut it. Hello? Shinya? Where are you? Doesn't matter. But let's meet up. I'm on my way. He left this and vanished. What the hell is he thinking? Where could he have gone? He was acting weird, though. Huh? Just a little off, you know? He was like... not himself. Might be best to assume the worst and act accordingly. Momotaro is probably on high alert after what happened. Looks like Momotaro is going all in, too. They're making a move? Those guys? This is getting messy. Are the Momotaro agents around here, like, legit dangerous? The Momotaro agent in charge of Nerima... is unhinged any way you look at him. I've seen him at HQ a few times... but I think this is my first time actually meeting him. Today's lucky activity: build a ten-story card tower. Yeah, tough one. How's that my problem? Just don't do it. Don't be stupid. Wakako Myorinpa's horoscopes are law. If you live by Madame Myorinpa's yearly forecast, happiness is guaranteed. Horoscopes are garbage. According to this, your luck this month is total crap. You might die. Bring it on! Madame Myorinpa's stuff is freakishly accurate. Just like it said, "An extraordinary visitor will arrive." So? What do you want? Honestly? I'd kind of like to know that, too. I've got a hell of an offer. An offer, huh? You barge into someone else's turf flapping your mouth? If you're acting outside your jurisdiction, I've got every reason to call it a breach of protocol and kill you for it! You'll like what I've got to say. Promise. Shut it. I don't trust a word out of your mouth. Man, Shinya really rubs people the wrong way. Even though deep down, they're kind of the same. Tsukuyomi, what should we do with these guys? Hmm, let's see. We'll let Madame Myorinpa decide. Hold on a sec. Make the damn call yourself! Like I could ever decide without consulting the stars? What are you saying? You hearing yourself, moron? You're letting horoscopes run your damn life. That is kind of worrying. Oh, now that's interesting! As always, Madame Myorinpa is right. Her prophecies always show me the way. It says, "The first step to the next stage approaches." Now, what could that mean? Maybe fortune-telling ain't so dumb after all. I've found a thread leading to a Kishin child. Wait, what? The hell? Interested now? Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate? This charming little sparring match Good or evil, none of it matters Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think - Hara - I'm so crazy? - Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E15.en-US A Kishin child? That's right. And we'll take care of Shiki Ichinose, the Kishin child. But I want backup. Why the hell should we help you score points? Depending on the answer, your head and body might be going their separate ways. Calm down, Osuke. That short fuse of yours is a problem. My bad! More to the point, why would you need help? Even if he's a Kishin kid, you can probably handle it, right? You've got Mikado here. Made Vice Captain at his age. That says a lot. We know what you've achieved. You're giving me too much credit. I'm not good with conflict, and I'm not motivated to fight someone I don't even know. Honestly, I just learned we found a lead on the Kishin child. I'm still reeling from that. Quit acting like you're above it all. There's nothing like a good kill to make you feel alive! That's what makes life worth living! Then let me gift you that joy of life. I'm not asking you to do it for free. I'll let you fight Mudano. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Hey. Let's just go look for Kougasaki already! You're right. We should have moved out by now. We should request backup from the Battle Unit. The Battle Unit's not going anywhere. Good to see you, Captain Masumi. He left a note, didn't he? Whatever happens, it's on him. That's insane! Why won't the Battle Unit help? Anyone who acts on their own can die on their own. Hey! So we're just gonna abandon him? You seem like the type who's a pain in the ass to everyone around you. Been a while, Mudano. Babysitting these little punks now, huh? Guess people really do change. Why won't the Battle Unit act? Tch. Still not one for small talk, eh? All right, I'll break it down. We've already learned three things from our investigation. One: a student was kidnapped. Two: civilians were involved. Three: this wasn't the work of Nerima's Momotaro. You're telling us he got snatched by ordinary people? It was a gang called the Kanto Nuts Union, just your run-of-the-mill thug crew. The way they kidnapped him was amateur... but the way they've hidden him is probably thanks to a Momotaro. But Nerima's Momotaro don't bring civilians into it, thugs or not. That means some other Momotaro faction may be involved. True. If that's the case, we can't afford to recklessly deploy this district's Battle Unit. Huh? What? None of this makes sense! If the Battle Unit heads out to help, our defense in Nerima will become weaker, right? I guess. And if the Nerima Momotaro attacks while we're stretched thin, we'll be overrun. A ton of our people could die. On top of that, the bastard behind this has no problem dragging civilians into it. Then couldn't we call in a Battle Unit from somewhere else? And who's gonna protect the area that unit was supposed to be watching? Unlike the Momotaro, we're always short on people. That kind of move's just not an option. But this time, we've got Mudano. Naito Mudano, one of the elites from Tokyo's Battle Unit. I still remember it like it was yesterday. You made it rain the blood of a hundred Momotaro. I'll never forget that day. Dang. Teach was a total badass. I'm all about stories like that. Well, so much for a former elite. Now you're playing schoolteacher. You've already looked into the gang, right? Already pinpointed their hangout. Just gotta storm the place. Oh, so you have been doing your job. Sorry I snapped at you. Yes, I've been doing my job, dumbass. Battle Unit's tied down, but you're going in, Mudano. Kaoru, you're going, too. Understood. Hold on a sec! Let us go, too! We didn't come here just to sit around! What's the point if we're just benched? Excuse me? You can't even handle guard duty properly, and now you're mouthing off? Get lost, kid. No. Let them come. Look at you, cracking jokes now? This isn't a normal school. It's more efficient to let them gain real-world experience. Efficient? Like I care. Um, excuse me. I can contribute by moving out first! I'm good at scouting! Trying to join Recon, huh? Yes, sir! I think it suits my ability best. I'm not much of a fighter, so I figured this is all I've got to offer. That's all? You think you're cut out for this just 'cause you don't fight? We don't do this half-assed, kid. The Recon Unit is the first one in. Sure, once the fighting starts, we fall back and support. But we're the ones who close in first, sometimes even make contact. Our job is obtaining intel, too. One wrong move and, best case, you die right then and there. Worst case? They try to squeeze everything out of you, then kill you. But no matter what, we never, ever give up intel. If it comes to that, we choose death. So what do you say now? Same goes for the Medical Unit, the Battle Unit, and every Oni soldier. There's no such thing as a safe zone for us. We're all putting our lives on the line in the Oni Agency. You brats got the guts to handle that? S-Sorry. But I joined Rasetsu Academy because I wanted to be useful. I've been ready to die for a long time now! I mean, we wouldn't even be here if we didn't already have that kind of resolve. I just don't wanna die looking lame. If I get to die with someone I love, I'm good. Um, well, I'm scared of dying... but I want to do whatever I can. As for me... I'm ready to die. But I'd rather get stronger so I don't have to. So please, let us go! Even if you say no, I'm going anyway! Got it? Training them is part of the job. And we're always short on people, right? Tch. Fine, whatever. But don't expect any special treatment just 'cause you're kids. - Right! - Hell yeah! We'll split into two units. Yusurube and Byobugaura, you're Recon. Support Masumi and Kaoru. The rest of you are Battle Unit. Follow my lead. Top priority is rescuing Kougasaki. Avoid fighting if possible. No disguises or anything? We're heading into enemy territory. No need to blend in. In a pinch, disguises just cause confusion. I'll get your outfits ready. Get changed. These are formal uniforms, normally reserved for ranked officers. Get your heads in the game. Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Mudano? You mean that Mudano? Who's Mudano again? Back in the day, he solo killed a hundred Momotaro. Total ace of their Battle Unit. Word is he's stepped back from active duty. Just like in Kyoto, Ichinose and Mudano always move together. Facing them both at once is a tall order. So I want you two to take care of Mudano. We'll handle Ichinose. You two take Mudano. Our interests align. This better not be B.S. I don't lie when it counts. You've got my word. You'll get your shot at Mudano, 100% Fair enough. You did become a captain on the quality of your intel alone. Well? We doing this or what? They're in. I trust fortune telling, because this world runs on luck. Some die young. Some live to a hundred. It's all luck. That's why I use fortune telling, to get as close as possible to the future I want. 'Cause if I get hurt or sick, I can't fight. Simple, right? These guys are pure battle junkies. I may not look like it, but I'm into mortal combat. We'll go along with your plan. Appreciate it. Want me to check your fortunes as a good-luck charm? Pass. Birthday and blood type are critical intel to me. I don't share that stuff lightly. Pfft. And that's why you're shady as hell. My birthday's October 21st, and I'm type O. What do you think? Don't blurt stuff like that out. Jeez. I'm hittin' the restroom. Oh, Mikado, your fortune's not bad. Says you'll meet someone you'll have a long relationship with. Really? Whoa! That's spot on! Madam Myorinpa's techniques are too divine for this world! However... it also says the bond could fall apart with just one wrong move. Wait, what? Today's lucky activity is "spend time on stilts." How is anyone supposed to pull that off? Madam Myorinpa's lucky actions are famously difficult to pull off. By the way, I've got stilts if you want to try. Why do you have those? Shinya, how long do I gotta keep watch? Sorry. I'm tied up at the moment. This kid's got a real attitude problem. Then throw a damn bucket of water on him. On it. Take this, you little punk! Soak him good. Okay. Leave the kid and get out of there. That place is probably hot now. Wait, seriously? Go hide out. I'll send you the location. I'll meet you there later. We need to talk. R-Right! Things are moving along nicely. Those punks are holed up in that cabaret club over there. All right, let's just raid the place! You idiot. Try using your brain. First, we assess the situation. Glasses! Yes, sir! You've got scanning abilities, right? Do your thing. We're in a blind spot here. Go ahead and use your blood. Understood! Blood Eclipse Release! Where Art Thou! Huh? What is it? It's hard for me to see for some reason. I figured. Your ability has a number of disadvantages to it. For starters, you can't move. Also... when you've got a multilevel structure, people stack on top of each other, and that throws off your ability to pinpoint anyone. In Kyoto, I only had to wait for people to leave. Guess that's why I didn't consider it a problem before. Means you're still a work in progress. So now what? Dumbass. That's why we're here. I knew you guys wouldn't be much help yet, so at least learn something. You all stay put. Watch and learn what recon work really looks like. Keep your eyes open. Kaoru, check how many are inside and the building layout. On it. Um, how does it work? Like this. A bottle with my blood in it. I give it a shake. The sound of the blood echoing back tells me how many people are nearby and what the building layout is like. You've heard how bats and dolphins use sound to locate things, right? This is like the ultra-pro version of that. So it shows not just people, but the structure, too? Yeah, it gives a simplified view. And other people can use it, too. Huh? I wanna try! Let me do it! The downside is the data overload. It's rough on the brain. Well? Can you see it? A flood of info hits your brain at once. You can get information sickness. Whoa! He threw up! I couldn't make out anything, and my brain's about to freaking explode. In my experience, it tends to work best for people with high IQ. You've got a low IQ! Yusurube's got a similar ability. He should be fine. He barfed, too! A four-eyes with low IQ! You can keep that one. It'll last about two hours. I'll take it! Give it... back. Nope! Kaoru, enough screwing around. What's the status? Something's weird. I'm only getting a reading from one Oni inside. That's gotta be Kougasaki! He's locked up in the very back room. Could be a trap. Or they bolted in a hurry. Well, I'll know soon enough. He's turning invisible! Captain Masumi can turn invisible for ten minutes by licking his own blood. That's awesome! Quit freaking out over every little thing. Ow! He's totally gone. Wait, his clothes go invisible, too? That's what makes it so crazy. Even the stuff he's wearing turns invisible with him. I'm going in for a look. You're all on standby. The captain and vice captain have powers on a whole other level. What can I even contribute? Their abilities aren't just better versions of mine. They're way beyond. You're allowed to feel down, but it won't get you anywhere. Professor... Honestly, I am feeling really down. Those two are just too good. It's like there's no place for someone like me. Yeah, Masumi and Kaoru's abilities are impressive... but when he first got his invisibility, it only lasted 30 seconds. What? He trained like hell, built up experience, and improved it with his own effort. Earn the right to feel discouraged after you've put in the work. Your ability's not worthless. But whether you waste it or grow it, that's up to you. Locked? Yeah, it's locked. Easy lock. No problem. Shoeprints are still fresh. Looks like they cleared out in a panic. Sloppy work. Definitely amateurs. Not a single trap. Did they really just bail in a rush? Then what's this feeling I can't shake? That just leaves this door. And, yeah, no traps here, either. This one's gonna be a pain to open. You one of Mudano's brats? Who are you? I'll explain later. Is there any kind of trap in there? No, none. That's all I needed. He's in here? So how the hell do we open this thing? Let me handle it. I was ready to tear through some punks, and all I get is door duty? This sucks! Blood Eclipse Release! Devilish Hysteria! Awesome! Door's open, people. Kougasaki? Dang. They went full deluxe bondage set on you! Shut it. You sure made this a hassle. Hey, wait! Where are you going? There's no time. They've taken a kid hostage. I have to go now, or it'll be too late. Mudano. I've heard the rumors, but this is my first time seeing you in action. Shiki Ichinose. Looks even more like a brat than in the photos. Found every last one of you. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate?

Hara oh oh oh ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E16.en-US I see. The guys who kidnapped you are holding a hostage, huh? Yeah. Now do you get it? We don't have time. Hold it, brat. I've got questions. We'll launch an investigation immediately. We'll handle the kid. You don't make a move. You don't even know what the kid looks like, do you? We'll figure it out. I said we don't have time, damn it! Your eyes are bloodshot. Guys who can't keep cool die fast, you know? Hey, Professor. It's not like him to freak out like that. He's gotta have his reasons, don't you think? Wouldn't it be better to just let him go? You can try to stop me, but I'm going. Kougasaki, once you get back, I expect the full story. If you can promise me that, I'll let you go with Shiki and me. Don't just give him a free pass. You're being too soft. It's just how he is. Letting him go is more efficient. He won't talk otherwise. You'll tell us everything when you're back. Got it? Got it. What do we do? Tch. The rest of you, scoop up every scrap of intel you can find. Don't leave a single clue behind. Yes, sir! Kougasaki. You'll stand out way too much dressed like that. Shinya Momoiwa. His left eye lets him see another person's line of sight. He can spy on up to 36 people for 24 hours... anyone he's infected with his bacteria, especially if they've taken in his bodily fluids. In other words, Kougasaki has no idea he's being watched. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around So the guy we kidnapped is the Kishin brat's buddy, huh? Showing him my face was a slip-up but nothing I can't recover from. The real trick is what to do after tapping into their vision. The smoothest move? Letting their friends rescue them. The Oni aren't idiots. I knew they'd track the thugs' hideout down fast. That's why I didn't have them relocate the kid. I wanted him to get rescued. From here on out, your every move for the next 24 hours is mine to see. They're on the move. They're headed to the hospital, right? Guess I'll lay some groundwork before reporting to Tsukuyomi and Osuke. Time to light a fire under Mikado's ass, too. I thought maybe you fell in. Looks like we're about to encounter our target. That was fast. At this rate, we'll get there in no time. Kougasaki, Shiki, you two go on ahead. Huh? What about you, Professor? We've got an uninvited guest. He just took off. Oof. We almost there? Yeah. Once we turn here... Hey, it's on fire! Where the hell's the fire truck? This is really bad. Shinya, I lit the place up like you told me to. Damn it, damn it! You're sure they're not gonna catch me, right? We have to help! We can't! It's way too dangerous! We have to wait for the fire department! There are still people inside! Get a hold of yourself! Damn it! Hey, you idiot! Why the hell is this happening? W-Wait! Get back here! Hey! I've gotta get them out fast. Yo! You seriously just ran in here like that? Huh? Wait, this isn't hot at all. How's that possible? It's blazing in here. Is this tied to my Kishin powers or something? Hold it! Don't just charge in blind! You'll be burned alive! Who gives a damn about that right now? Get your head on straight! You think I'm your enemy? Huh? I'm not, am I? You've got someone you're trying to save, right? Then stop freaking out and act like it! For whatever reason, fire doesn't do jack to me! Maybe it's my Kishin blood or whatever... but if we play it smart, we can make this work! Make what work? We don't even know where anyone is! We'll have to search every floor! People are dying while we stand here! I got it! There might be a way to save every last one of them! But I need you to work with me, Kougasaki! Hang in there, Granny! Don't breathe the smoke! Are you a god? Did the heat go to your head or somethin'? I'm not senile, ya punk! It was burning up, and I couldn't even breathe. Then you showed up, and it stopped hurting like magic. You've got some kind of special power, don't ya? I bet the gods gave it to you so you could protect people. You're safe now. Granny, you can get out through here! Run for it! I appreciate it. Shinya! I did it just like you said! I know. Get back to the hideout now. Hey, are you sure it's gonna be all right? Have I ever lied to you? And don't say a damn word to the others. Just sit tight 'til I show up. Y-Yeah, got it. Relax. You pulled off a big win. Starting tomorrow, you're head of the gang. Tch. Pathetic weaklings must all be scared now. This place is burning better than I planned. Saving people, huh? Not very Oni-like of you. Idiots. Go ahead and be useful for my sake. Kougasaki! How many left? We're running outta time, so hurry up! Shut up! My head's pounding! What even is this thing? My skull's about to split open. One of the Recon guys gave it to me. The sound of the blood echoing back tells me how many people are nearby and what the building layout is like. So you pinpoint the locations, and I go grab 'em. That's the plan. Kinda pisses me off that you're able to use it no problem. 'Specially 'cause he said it works best for people with high IQ! It's not no problem. Feels like my brain's getting jackhammered. And I feel sick. I can't keep this up for long. So quit stalling and go, slowpoke! Don't order me around, dumbass! Hope you go bald! Second floor, south wing! Move it! You were scared, huh? You did great, kid! Next, fourth floor, west side, all the way in the back! So... heavy! Sorry! I've made up my mind! I'm gonna lose weight! Lose it in three seconds! Pick it up! You're slowing down! This'd be a hell of a lot easier if you had a damn phone! Too bad! I don't! Just run! Hey! One more screwup, and I'm gonna kill you, Shiki! You're the one who sucks at giving directions, you lobotomized troll! Hey! How many left? Just one left! Did I already save the kid you were worried about? Not yet. So she's the last one. I'll be quick! Where is she? North wing... third floor. Kougasaki! You okay? Shut up. Take five, tough guy! Hey, kid, you in here? Found ya! She's still breathing! You're gonna be okay! Don't die on me! You're okay! You're okay! I've got you! Kougasaki! Found her! She's alive! We gotta get out! Hey! Kougasaki! Give me a break! You alive in there? Shut up, already! Kougasaki! Yeah, I'm alive. But my leg's pinned. You get that girl outta here now! This whole building's about to go! It could all come down any second! Fine! I'll be right back! Damn it. My head's spinning. I can't even control my blood. He'll be right back, huh? What an idiot. What's he even get out of helping me like that? This place didn't even have anything to do with him. He's got a screw loose. I'll help you, but you gotta work with me. Kougasaki! There might be a way to save every last one of them! But I need you to work with me, Kougasaki! Come to think of it, he's always been helping me. I seriously piss myself off. I'm pathetic. I've lived alone my whole life. I figured I'd die alone, too, and that was fine. I used to think I'd rather die than rely on anyone. The idea that someone might save me never even crossed my mind. At least, that's what I thought. What the hell's happening to me? Sheesh. You're still breathing, dumbass? I found myself believing that Shiki would come back for me. Shut up. Like hell, I'm dying, jackass. Now hurry the hell up and dig me out. I should just finish the job and bury you deeper. I used to think I'd rather die than rely on anyone. It's a zoo out there. Fire trucks, onlookers, the whole mess. Let's book it. But now... having someone to lean on might not be so bad after all. Thanks. Huh? What? Speak up! I can't hear jack! Support me properly, you idiot. What? I'll drop-kick you into the fire, you little punk! Not a single death in that blaze? That's a damn miracle! That guy told me where to go! What guy? A boy saved me! My arms are toast. Lending a shoulder to a dude is just adding insult to injury. Didn't ask you to save me. You're such a pain in the ass. Hmph. So who was that kid? I helped. I get to know. That girl... What is it? The Momo who kidnapped me must have set that fire. But why set the fire? They took that girl hostage just to lure me out? You wouldn't kill a hostage. To shut her up just in case? There must be another reason. What's that mean? That girl has a younger sister. Maybe she's the hostage now? But why take hostages at all? Shiki, it's you they're after. Me? You're the Child of Kishin. Momo's gunning for you. They were using her as leverage to take you out. It's just a gut feeling, but the little sister may be in danger. Yeah, but we don't even know where the sister is. Let's hit up the Recon Unit! No point. They even tried to stop me from going to the hospital because it was too vague. They won't move on a "maybe the little sister is in danger." We'll have to search for her ourselves. Moron! We can't just track someone down like that. That's right! Bow before Lord Shiki! Gross. Stop. I know exactly who can find her! What? Who? A cop! What the hell are they talking about? Not being able to hear them is the one downside to this power. Tsukuyomi and Osuke sure are taking their time, huh? I wonder if something happened. Who knows? And who cares? As long as they kill Mudano. What's that? His phone? Hello? Natsu? - Yeah, I'm good! How about you? - A personal call? I see. Uh-huh. A favor? What is it? What? I can't hear you. Hello? I hear sirens. Are you outside? Yeah. Yeah. No problem. - Wait a second. - Anyway... - Is he talking to Ichinose? - I had a good time the other day. Hey. Who are you talking to? Natsu, he's a new friend of mine. Yeah, I'm with my boss, the one I told you about. He knows about me? Then I should probably say hi. Let me talk to him. Huh? What? Did you badmouth me? No, no. Sorry, Natsu. My boss wants to say hi. Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Mikado's boss. Oh, hi. I'm Natsu. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm in a hurry right now, so I don't really have time to chat. I hear you. Sorry about that. You're outside, right? Tell me, is it raining out there? Rain? Nah, all clear. Mikado and Ichinose know each other. Looks like luck's on my side. I followed you all the way out here. Let's go. Thanks to Tsukuyomi's crappy luck, I get the chance to kill you. Can't believe my luck. Who are you? Osuke Momokado, Vice Captain, Unit 20. Let's throw down. No backup. He's alone? He's been laser-focused on me since the start. I don't want anybody to interfere. Let's have a good time, just you and me. No cameras. No one I need to protect. Not motivated without an audience, Mudano? Nah. It's nice to cut loose every once in a while. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate?

Brilliant. If that's your move... Then here's mine! A straight shot! Testing me out with straight hand-to-hand, huh? I like it. Means you're taking me seriously. But me, I'd rather spend my time on the fun stuff. So let's skip the foreplay already. Time for the main event! Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Sickle and chain, huh? Blood Eclipse Release. Profuse Autumn Rain. Naito Mudano's ability, Profuse Autumn Rain. He forges an umbrella from blood and commands a storm of crimson rain. Without the umbrella being open, the power cannot be controlled. Rebirth's Deluge. He deflected the rain with his sickle's spin. Judge it by the length of how it looks, and you're in for a world of hurt. This chain stretches up to 300 meters! And even if you close the gap, it's pointless. I'll just cut your throat with the weighted blade! Die from a distance or die up close? Take your pick, Mudano! I choose how I die, huh? You talk a good game. But... you're not strong enough to back it up. That's a cool line. You know... I think I'll steal it! No way! You snatched it like we're playing catch? That speed. What kind of arm does he have? But... if I cancel my ability, it doesn't matter! Damn, that was close! Thought you were gonna take my head off. You're a one-trick pony, Mudano! I've already figured out that move! No way. This guy... he hurled his umbrella at me? From here, it's just more of the same. How many times can you withstand it? How much blood are you planning to burn through? Lucky you. The moon's beautiful tonight. Its light will bear witness to your death. At this rate, I can't win. Osuke might actually die. No matter how I read it, the result's terrible. Should we go back him up? Back him up? I don't think so. Osuke's a freak. Even the biggest brawlers get scared for their life when pushed far enough. They think, "This isn't how it was supposed to go," and sink into despair. But to Osuke, victory or defeat is nothing more than a result. What matters isn't the result. It's the process. The process of a kill-or-be-killed fight is everything! This is the best, Mudano! Come on, let's keep this going! I'll take everything you've got! Since the process is what matters most, then Osuke will even accept death. He's out of his mind. You'd have to love fighting to your core to live like that. For him, battle's a drug. The only thrill he feels is in a fight to the death. That's why Osuke's a freak. He treats his own life more carelessly than anyone else. Should we end this already? Don't bum me out. Give me more! Keep me fired up! What the hell is that? So it's just bigger now, that it? Yeah, but the range... is on a whole other level! You've got a weakness, too! Your attacks only come from above! That's your weak spot! Is that so? Raindrops don't always fall as blessings from the sky. What the... Divine Tears of the Twin Dragons. I see! All the blood he's used up stayed pooled on the ground. He's been manipulating that, too! And not just that! He kept repeating the same technique... made me think he could only attack from above! You're straightforward, simple. In a way, you were even a decent guy. But as long as you stay inside the bounds of conventional thinking, you'll never defeat me. Can't argue with that. Now then, I kept you alive for a reason. You're going to tell me everything you know. Two, Four, and Six of Swords. Reinforcements? Relax. Tonight isn't fated for a battle. I'm just here to collect this freak. Who the hell are you calling a freak? You think I'll just let you walk away? Any minute now, joggers will start passing through here. Unless you want to drag them into this, too? Your call. We'll meet again... if fate wills our reunion. As expected, you lost. That ability of yours is weak. Shut it! I had a good time, all right? Then why not try again? Next time, I'll win 100%! Sure, but next time's my turn. Idiot! It'll be me again! Yeah. Got it. Okay. Thanks! They're gonna search for that girl's house! His boss said he'll help out, too. Hey, hey! I didn't hear a "thank you" there. What was it, some cop that owed you a favor? Figures. A face like yours is practically criminal. This guy! But really, why do you even care about that girl? It's not a fun story. I have a sister. No, to be exact, I used to have one. You heard this before, right? My old man's a Momotaro. He killed my mother and my sister. He chose his duty as a Momotaro over his own family, the worthless piece of shit. Uh-uh! I told you, hold on to your big sister's hand when you cross the street! Aw, I can cross by myself! Yes, I know you can. But I still want to hold your hand. If a car came, I'd be too scared to move. But if you were holding my hand, you'd protect me, right? My sister was good at talking people into things. Oh, no. Maybe I'll end up dying after all. But she was especially good at talking me into things. Here, Sis! Hold my hand! I thought I was the one protecting her. But the truth is, she'd been protecting me all along... with her gentle little lies. "When I grow up, I want to be a proud police officer like my dad! First grade, Class One, Jin Momoiro"! Yay! Jin, you read it so smoothly. Amazing! Tomorrow, I'll present it at school! And since it's Dad's birthday tomorrow, read it for him after dinner, too. I'm sure he'll love it! But what I really wanna say is I wanna be a Momotaro like Dad. No! Absolutely not! The fact that your dad's a Momotaro is a secret. But still... fighting Oni is so cool! Oh, no! If you blab about it, we'll never see each other again. Scary people will come and take Mom and me away. I'm scared! I won't say it! I won't! But if Dad knew you wanted to be a Momotaro, he'd be proud for sure! Dad's coming home tomorrow, right? It's his birthday, after all! He'll be home. I can't wait for tomorrow to come! Why don't we bake a cake before Dad comes home? Let's do it! Now I understand. If that wasn't happiness, then what was? I'll help! Just tell me what to do! All right, then. You can spread the frosting. I bet you'll be good at that, Jin. I truly loved them... loved them so much that I swore to protect them. See you, Jin! See you tomorrow! Bye-bye! It's from Sis. Guess I've gotta step up and take care of things! It's been so long since I've seen Dad. He's always away at work. But today we'll all be together! To me family was something to protect. Dad is in front. Mom and Sis are in the middle. And I'm all the way in the back. Dad protects from the front. I guard the rear. I'm home. I bought the milk. Mom? Sis? I killed them. Huh? Listen closely, Jin. Your mother was an Oni. And Hazuki, too. Who'd have thought she was an Oni? No, it's a lie. Dad, you wouldn't... Jin... which are you? This can't be. Are you Momotaro? Or are you Oni? Tell me. If you're an Oni, too... It's not true. It's not true. ...I'll kill you. It's a lie! It can't be! So you're an Oni, too? My sense of self snapped back, and in that hazy half-consciousness, I understood everything. She sent me to buy milk as a way to stall, to buy time. Even on the brink of death, she risked her life to protect me I see. I couldn't protect her. Dad didn't come after me. He must have figured there was no way I'd survive those wounds. When I regained consciousness, I was lying in the brush by a river. The fact I was still alive was nothing short of a miracle. It hurts. It hurts. Mom. Sis. Even then, I never looked back at the path I'd taken. Because there was no one behind me... no one waiting, no one to take me in. All I had left were these wounds and my hatred. If I was to live as an Oni... then I'd live as a vengeful Oni. That was the choice I made. Mom... Sis... rest easy in heaven. I'll protect your peace. As for Dad... I'll never let that bastard join you. I won't let him go to heaven. I'll drag the old man down into the pit of hell itself... and that's how I'll protect them. Hatred is what will keep me alive... driving me forward... even knowing my own path can only end in hell. I don't really know how Mom and my sister ended up revealed as Oni. The way horns appear varies from person to person. Some people show them as children. Others only manifest them when they die. Momotaro children always inherit Momotaro blood, but when a Momotaro has kids with an Oni, it's a toss-up. The child can inherit Momotaro blood or Oni blood, but not both. Hazuki and I didn't draw from the Momotaro side. We got the Oni blood. I see. Man, thanks to that depressing crap, my bladder's about to burst. I'm takin' a leak. Crap, I'm tearing up? A story like that gets to you. - The guy keeps poking at my tear ducts. - Cut it out. Of course I'll cry! Getting me to cry like that... Now I'm pissed off! Damn it! Damn it! I swear I'll deck him! That's better. Totally cleared out. Don't give me that look like you're freaked out! My face looks the same as always! Guess so. "Guess so"? Screw you! My eyes are swollen as hell! They always look like that. That's it! I'm gonna kill you! Knock out every damn tooth and kill you! If you feel sorry for me, I'll kill you where you stand. Are you kidding? I don't feel sorry for you. But I'll give you this. Anyone who doesn't break in that situation is something else. How embarrassing! What's with this vibe? What's this guy even saying? Gross. Mikado! Perfect timing! Hello? You found the place? Let's move, Kougasaki! Why the hell is this place burning, too? Why? Everywhere we go, fire after fire! This ain't normal! Shut up! How the hell would I know? Hey, Kougasaki. What the hell is jerking us around like this? Action!

How long do I have to keep watchin' this place? Sorry, but there's something I want you to do. What is it? Burn down the house? I can't! Relax. I've already planned it so you won't get caught. I'm asking because I trust you. Have I ever steered you wrong? Do it. Or else you'll be back at the bottom. Okay. I got it. And there's one more thing I need from you. Pull it off, and I'll make sure you earn a hundred times more than now. The best tools are fools obsessed with money. Wave some cash in their faces, and they'll bust their asses for you. All while never realizing they're disposable pawns. Didn't expect Mikado and Ichinose to be connected. I'm on a lucky streak. You're outside, right? Tell me, is it raining out there? Rain? Nah, all clear. Here. Sorry, Natsu. Yeah. Yeah. Huh? That's, um... What's up? He wants me to find a girl. Sounds like it's urgent. I blurted out that I was a cop, even though I'm not. What do I do? Leave it to me. Really? You're in a bind, right? Not like I've got anything better to do. I'll work some magic with my intel. Thanks! Natsu, it's all set. My boss said he'll look into it. - Perfect. - It'll be fine. Don't worry about it. Didn't expect the name tag I traced to actually pay off. Thank you. You take care, too, Natsu. - Yeah... - Everything's going just as I planned. Okay, talk to you soon. Bye-bye! No doubt in my mind. Mikado's gonna want Ichinose dead! Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Please get back! I see. I've got a pretty good idea of what happened. First, I'll give you a physical exam. Sure. There's one thing I need to confirm. How'd it go? Physically, he checks out fine. But based on what he told us, the fact they've been one step ahead everywhere... it's likely we're being spied on. Some kind of surveillance ability, either bugs or hidden cams. Surveillance, you think? I'm sure it's not the ability of the Nerima Momo who tangled with Mudano. Who are you? Osuke Momokado, Vice Captain, Unit 20. Let's throw down. I don't want anybody to interfere. Let's have a good time, just you and me. Bottom line, we know nothing about our opponent, not even his power. We're at a complete disadvantage. So what do we do now? Our only lead is those lowlife punks connected to that Momo. Right. And if we don't move fast, they'll get silenced, too. Silenced? You mean killed? Of course. Momo doesn't want us to find those punks. If I was Momo, I'd take them out before they can talk. Always assume the worst. If you can't imagine the absolute worst-case scenario, you'll freeze up when it counts. Don't forget. These guys wouldn't think twice about burning children alive. Sick bastards. This place isn't safe anymore, either. Shame, but we've gotta abandon it. Evacuate everyone. So we're out of options? Idiot. Every ability has a weakness. The key is to find that weakness without giving up. What, losing your nerve just because things got hard? When you're cornered, that's when you need to keep your head cool and push your brain into overdrive. If you can't do that, you're useless to the Recon, Support, or Combat Units. Don't let your spirit break. As long as you've got fighting spirit, there's still a chance. Right! Mudano, Kaoru, we're holding a strategy meeting. You okay? Totally fine. You got your butt kicked by Mudano. Shut it! That was just the first half. Either way, I'm up next. Nope! I get a rematch. Tch. If you're gonna kill him, then do it already. He's surprisingly useless. Though I guess if he and Tsukuyomi team up, they might pull it off. More importantly... should be about that time. There it is. Hey, Mikado, check this out. This news article about the fire, isn't that the location your friend asked about? Huh? You're right! It's on fire? There was a fire at a nearby hospital, too. It made me curious, so I looked into it. Remember the sisters that Oni saved? Yeah. They were on security footage, right? They were at both fires. First, the hospital where the older sister was staying caught fire. Then the house where the younger sister lives also burned down. No doubt someone's after them. Let me ask you something. Can you really trust this Natsu guy? Trust him? He wanted the sisters' address, right? Yeah, but... Who exactly is Natsu? How much do you actually know about him? Can you say, without a doubt, that you trust him with your whole heart? Captain Masumi! Yeah? We've gathered all the important documents. Good. Trash the rest. Then you and everyone else, relocate to the alternate hideout. Yes, sir. Also, I've got one more thing I need from you. Sir? Are we relocating, too? This is boring! Nope. You're all being put to work. Your job is to track down the scum. The Kanto Nuts Union, those lowlifes connected to that Momo, run a handful of shops. Odds are good they're holed up in one of them. Problem is we're short on people. So pair off and fan out. Find those punks. What about Kougasaki? He's sitting this one out. No telling what kind of ability he might have been hit with. Makes sense. He'll relocate with the others. All right, let's go, Rokuro! Okay. This beats the hell out of hiding like mice! Let's get a move on. U-Um, sorry, I... Come on, let's go! O-Okay! Thank you so much! If I'm ever dragging you down... just pretend I don't exist! She's got that move down like an art form. I'm counting on you, Byobugaura! Can I trust Natsu? Of course I can! And you will, too, once you meet him. What have you two been going on about? Hey, now, don't interrupt. Oh, sorry. Just talking about a friend. Yeah, you really are that kind of guy, huh? That's why I'm here. You're too pure. And you've got this unwavering sense of conviction. But being overly righteous doesn't mean you're right. Even swords are curved for a reason. Sometimes bending is what keeps you from breaking. But don't worry. I'll be the one to bend you. Wow, sounds like you've made a real friend. Want me to do a compatibility reading? I think we're a good match. We've got similar interests, and well, we click. I get that you want to believe in this Natsu guy, but you're too kind. And I'm worried that kindness might be used against you. Used? Come on, that's a bit much. Humans, Oni, and Momo alike, everyone's cunning in their own way. And to be honest, even I've been hiding something from you. You have? It's about the Oni who saved the sisters. Actually, I nabbed him and held him captive. Wait, seriously? I should have told you. That's my bad. But here's the real kicker. That Oni was deeply connected to Shiki Ichinose. The Child of Kishin? Back in Kyoto, that Oni was with Ichinose. He was in disguise, but based on what Yomogi told us about his physical features, it's almost certainly him. Which means there's a good chance they're working together again right now. Then why not just make that Oni spill where Ichinose is hiding? He slipped away while I was on my way here. That's so lame! Anyway, let's say Ichinose got info from that Oni. What do you think he'd do next? Check if his friends are okay, obviously. Wrong. He'd silence the witnesses. What if those sisters saw his face? What if they saw his ability in action? If Ichinose's a perfectionist, even the tiniest loose end would get snipped. Hell, I bet he'd even kill the Oni who got caught. Anyone dumb enough to get captured is just dead weight. No way. He'd kill his own allies? One more thing. Ichinose's attribute as a Child of Kishin is flames. And what's been happening lately? Fires, all of them. Now, what if this Natsu guy is Ichinose in disguise? Huh? Natsu? He used fire to silence witnesses. He doesn't know you're Momotaro, but he's been using you nonetheless. It's just a theory, sure, but it fits, doesn't it? But... But what? You really don't think that's suspicious, asking for the sisters' address in a situation like this? And then, bam, there's a fire right after. You're seriously telling me not a single part of you is doubtful? Because that'd be the real red flag, wouldn't it? It's true, I haven't known Natsu that long. But you know how people give off a vibe? Natsu's always felt completely genuine. That's why I want to believe in him. He "wants to believe"? Not "does believe"? The seed of doubt's already been planted. From 100% trust, now it's dropped to 99%. That's right. Wobble, wobble. Even a well-woven thread unravels from a single fray. That one percent of suspicion is a major one percent. And that little "motivational switch" you've been hiding, I see it now. Just gotta dig it out. And when the time's right, I'll be the one to flip that switch! Until the time comes, let him cling to that fractured 99%. No one's here. I don't see any scary people, either. Ugh. I think my stomach's acting up. Not good. Are you okay, Rokuro? Want some medicine? Need a bathroom? No, you should lie down. Here, lie on my lap! No, um... Another dead end. Again? I just wanna find these guys and lay 'em out, already. We're here to capture them, remember? Mikado? What's this about? Hello. Hey, Natsu? Sorry for the sudden call. I was wondering if we could talk in person for a bit. Huh? Now? It's not a good time. You sound kind of busy. What are you up to? Wait, are you outside? Where are you? It's sorta hard to say. Wait, are you doing something you can't talk about? No, nothin' like that. I can't tell him the truth, so what do I say? Uh, I'm sorry. I'm totally in the way, right? I'll just turn to stone. Don't mind me. No, no! You're fine! Sorry! I gotta go. I'll call you later, okay? Natsu! Hello? Seems like you still trust him, but he's clearly hiding something. Of course he is! The Kishin kid's got a lot on his plate right now. But he sure as hell can't explain it! Still... thanks to that, my little piggy bank of suspicion just got fatter. What was Mikado even callin' about? He was acting kinda weird. Man, keeping secrets really wears you down. Maybe once this all settles down, I'll go see him. Mikado, I get why you want to believe in him. I... But if my theory checks out, you're the one who needs to deal with it, get me? Oh, you will. I've already made sure of it. I know. I don't believe it for a second, but if Natsu really is a Child of Kishin... then I'll kill him... with my own hands. That whole call with Mikado... I don't know, maybe it was actually about some romantic drama? But it's probably 100% nonsense anyway. Action!

No telling where they're hiding. Search every last one of them. They're our only solid link to the Momo behind the attack on Kougasaki. Find them! Easy for him to say! They're nowhere! We tried almost all the places on the list you got, right? They might be hiding somewhere the Recon Unit hasn't marked yet. Sorry for speaking out of turn. Then we've got nothin' to go on. Crap. Yes, I am crap. I'm sorry. I'll just go die now. Hey, I wasn't talkin' to you, Byobugaura! All we're doin' is wasting time at this point. Damn it. I hate to do this again, but I've got no choice. The Kanto Nuts Union? I know, I'm sorry! But can you figure out where they are? Wow, Natsu. First you hang up on me, and now you're asking for another favor? I know. I'm a jerk, askin' you for all this. But you're the only one I can count on right now. Can you track them down, like, ASAP? Yeah. I'll look into it. ▶ TOUGEN ANKI S01E19.en-US Can you track them down, like, ASAP? Yeah. I'll look into it. If I figure anything out, I'll send you a message. Sorry, but please look for them. Just like with the sisters before. There's clearly something wrong here, right? I said I wanted to believe, right? Tell me the location. I'll go, too. I want to see for myself what Natsu is really doing. Order from headquarters. Looks like the Oni are on the move. Anyway, just let us know if you spot Mudano. What a pain. The Oni make their move now, of all times. Coincidence? That Natsu guy— Yes, coincidence. I'm sure of it. Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around This Kanto Nuts Union looks like a pretty nasty gangster outfit. You found them? Yeah. Just sent the info. Thank you. I've sent the location to Natsu. Shall we go? You still have faith in that guy? Until I see anything different with my own eyes. In that case, I'll make my move, too. I'm about to kill my own crew... set the place on fire... burn everyone inside to ash. That was Shinya's final order. After that, I skip town, spend three years living it up overseas. Shinya even set me up with the cash and a place to hide. After three years, I'll come back to Japan... and start raking in cash with him again. Money is everything! No one can resist the pull of that paper! One gram. That's all it weighs. And human life is even lighter than that. We had a bond, yeah. But... you can always build new ones! What matters is money! Money! Cash! Money! We're almost at the place he told me about. Think you can keep running? Y-Yes, I'm fine! What is that? That direction... that's where we're headed? Byobugaura, get the teachers! I'm goin' in! Huh? R-Right! Was that a gas explosion? Who the hell would do something like this? Hey! Not again. Hey! Are you okay? Hey! Damn it! Isn't anyone still alive in here? Natsu? Mikado? So this is your true self. True self? Uh, this is... Wait, why are you even here? Mikado? I trusted you. I thought you were my friend. Motivation switch: on! Shiki Ichinose. How do you know my name? I just found out that you're Shiki Ichinose... a Child of Kishin... a cold-blooded, brutal Oni. And I am... Momotaro Agency operative... Mikado Momodera! Mikado, you're... Momotaro? Sorry for lying about being a cop. Though... I'm not as much of a liar as you are. You took so many lives. You were even willing to harm children. Wha? I'm classifying you as a threat... and will eliminate you. Wait! That wasn't me! I'm done listening to anything you say. You used me to kill people. I will never forgive you! I told you, you've got it wrong! Hold up, Mikado. It's not smart to fight here. The fire trucks should be showing up any minute. We're pulling out. It's fine. I've already got a bead on their hideout. Next time, we'll settle this clean, without interruptions. Wait, Mikado! We ain't finished talkin'! We're finished. No. Maybe we never really started in the first place. Just tell me one thing. I thought of you as a friend. What did you think of me? What are you talking about? Of course you're my friend. That was never in question. Even now, I still think of you as my friend! Don't you feel the same? If that's true, then it makes this even worse. Yeah, we were friends. Past tense. Why? Just listen to me! Please, just shut up, already! I don't want to end up hating you more than I already do. Next time we meet, it'll be Momotaro versus Oni. No mercy. As a former friend, I'll make it painless when I send you off to the afterlife. Goodbye. I'm saying it now, before the end. The gang's wiped out. The Nerima Momotaro are stepping up security. Which means we're totally on the defensive now. The only thing we gained from this was intel on Mikado, the Momotaro, and his superior. That superior is almost certainly the Momotaro who abducted Kougasaki. The description Kougasaki gave matches perfectly. If superior is accurate, we're talking about a captain. Yeah, and a cunning bastard, at that. The arsons? Probably his work, too. And he's not even a Nerima Momo. How do you know that? They would never involve civilians. The Nerima Momo are a dangerous bunch, but that's a line they don't cross. So basically, the guy who took Kougasaki is a certified piece of shit. I'd bet the fire was meant to target you, Ichinose. They set it up so all the suspicion would land on you. Rather than lure you out, they want to pit you against this Mikado guy. So they made you run into each other at a hellscape to paint you as a ruthless Oni. You really pieced that together. You can smell it, the stink of a bastard's twisted scheme. Thanks to all that, looks like the other side's fired up and ready to go. I think it's safe to assume the info on our hideout has already leaked from Kougasaki somehow. So doesn't that mean we're sitting ducks staying here? The troops were already relocated. We should move to a different hideout, too. Wouldn't be a shock if they came at us any moment now. Ichinose, you got played. Stuff like, "My buddy turned out to be a Momotaro." Yeah, it happens. Though it's not exactly common, either. The hell's so funny? Wipe that smug look off your face! I'm not freakin' out 'cause he's Momotaro! I'm pissed he had the wrong idea, wouldn't hear me out, and looked at me like he wanted me dead! Damn it! Why won't he just listen to me? I don't wanna fight him. You don't want to fight but expect him to hear you out? You moron. Do you know why? It's because you're weak. Who's gonna bother listening to the voice of the weak? What the hell does that mean? Shiki, you know why we Oni fight the Momotaro? 'Cause they're tryin' to make us extinct, right? Yeah, resisting them is part of it, but that's not the real reason. We fight to force them to sit at the negotiation table. Negotiation? A sit-down where both sides, Oni and Momotaro, can find terms they can live with. That's how this war ends. If things keep going like this, both sides will be wrecked. There's a real chance we'll wipe each other out. The worst part is that the Momotaro believe they're "justice," and they think they're superior. To put it plainly, they think they don't have to listen to the weak. That's why we fight, to show them we're strong. We have to make them realize continuing this war won't benefit anyone. Only then will they sit down and consider ending this another way. You get it now? If we don't fight, we're not even allowed at the table. If you're weak, no one listens. The world isn't kind enough to care what the weak have to say. Whatever the reason, right now, you've been misunderstood, and someone's out to kill you. And from that point on... nothing you say is gonna matter if you're not strong enough. Next time we meet, it'll be Momotaro versus Oni. No mercy. Then what the hell am I supposed to do? If you don't fight, you'll just end up dead, branded a monster, nothing more. If you hate that... then fight! Drag them by the ears if you have to, but make them listen. The words of those who won't fight don't reach anyone. If you want them to hear you out, if you want a seat at the table, then grow a damn spine. I still don't get why I have to fight someone I don't want to fight. If we just talked it out, I know he'd understand. Oni really are like bugs. The second we make a move, they scatter like cockroaches. Still, I'm curious why they made a move. What are they planning? So? Something happen on your end? Wow, the mood in here is just so chill, huh? Turns out I was right. No way! So we've got a best-friend deathmatch now? I'd pay to watch that! Excuse me. Could you shut up? Or should I... shut you up myself? Damn. Kid's young, but that bloodlust is sharp as hell. Mikado. I get why you're mad, but cool it. Okay. You definitely pulled some strings behind the scenes. Your manipulation skills really are top-tier. I mean, look at Mikado. He's locked and loaded. I won't push the issue, though. In exchange, I'll be receiving my fair share of combat. That "I see through you" look again. He won't blab, though. Well, all the preparations are in place. Still, time to clean up some trash on the sidelines. I did it! I really did it! Now I just skip the country, goof off for three years, then come back and make bank again! Who the hell is that? Wait, what? I was driving, wasn't I? This is the steering wheel, right? Why all of a sudden? What's happening to my eyes? Naturally, this is Shinya's ability at work. With his left eye, Shinya can observe the visual field of up to 36 people continuously for 24 hours. But with his right, he can force a target to see what he sees. What the hell is this? What's happening? In order words, this punk is seeing through Shinya's eyes right now. S-Stop it! Just to be clear, Shinya never arranged any kind of escape. He intended to kill him from the very beginning. Yeah. Good work. Shinya. You've figured out where the Oni are hiding, haven't you? Yeah. I'm constantly monitoring them visually. I saw them abandon their old base... and I know exactly where the new one is. They've got a hideout nearby. Ichinose should be there, too. Huh? And why the hell were you sitting on that? So what's the plan? We're storming the place. Kill everyone, even the small fry. Naturally, Mudano and Ichinose are there. I'm counting on you two to massacre everyone except Ichinose. Yo, Tsukuyomi... you sure you're good taking on Mudano? Your lucky vibes holding up? No problem. The date's rolled over. Luck's at its peak now. And as for you, Mikado... your job is to kill Ichinose. You can handle that, right? Yes. So, hey, what now? Are we going on the offensive, raid their base or what? Wait, us? You mean we're gonna be the ones to raid them? Of course we are, dumbass. Don't sweat it. I'll watch your back. S-Sorry. I might not be much help. Enough nonsense. We're still playing defense here. Defense again? Lame. Moron. Yeah, we're on the receiving end, but how we take the hit matters. If all their pieces are in place, they'll make their move. A clash with the Momotaro's coming. So what, it's finally our turn? You kids are green. Normally, I'd tell you to stay the hell out of the way, but unless we've got 100% certainty that the Nerima Momotaro are making a move, we can't risk deploying Nerima's Combat Unit. Which means we're counting on you. So I've got just one thing to say. Don't you dare die, you scrappy little punks! Yeah! All right, let's get moving. Let's get hyped! Madam Myorinpa, watch over me! Let's paint the town red... with Oni blood. Action!

Don't you dare die, you scrappy little punks! Yeah! All right, let's get moving. Let's get hyped! Madam Myorinpa, watch over me! Let's paint the town red... with Oni blood. Who will have the last laugh in the end... Momotaro or Oni? Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Are the Oni here? Yeah. You can't escape from me, no matter where you go. It's packed with small fry, too, but that's not a problem. In fact, the more weaklings there are, the more Mudano and the others will be forced to protect them while fighting, which works out nicely for me. It raises the odds I'll get to kill them. Natsu... That is, Ichinose. He's here, too. Come on, now... put away that bloodlust. In your fortune, Mikado, the Eight of Cups card came up. If things go on like this, the outcome might not be good. Maybe what really matters is being willing to let something go. Well, then... charge! Kill them all. There's nobody here. Why? This is definitely the place. Did we get the wrong location? No, they're here. Deeper inside. There's a whole swarm of them. I don't really sense a swarm, though. I said they're here! I can see them, plain as day! Clear as anything in this eye! Why do I see my own back? Yo. Been wanting to see you, bastard. So this is the scum who drags civilians into it. It's written all over your face. You're trash. How? Huh? Shinya, you think maybe... you just got played? How? I know what I saw. So your ability really is peeping, huh? What you saw was VR, idiot. We had our men record the path here and everything inside. And then he just kept watching it on loop. But, you know, we didn't have to go through all that trouble. There were plenty of other ways. If we'd just waited, you would have come to us without any VR nonsense. And yet I picked the most time-consuming method. Know why? Because this is the one that feels the most satisfying. When you kidnapped me, you sure looked like you were having fun. How's it feel now? Consider this my little surprise for you. Come on, smile. Pathetic, Shinya! Well, it works out. Either way, we still get to face each other. So, shall we settle this? He's running away! The bastard bolted! I'll go after him! What a loser. Looks like fighting's not really his strong suit. Shut up! As long as there are noncombatants, I can use them as hostages, but a small-scale fight like this is bad news. Go ahead and laugh! You guys with real fighting power wouldn't understand! I don't care what tricks I use. As long as there are results, I'll do whatever it takes! You're the one guy I'm not gonna let get away! Let's settle this. Settle what? - I— - Don't talk. Didn't I tell you? I don't want to hear what you have to say. Just follow me. I want it to be the two of us alone. You want me to follow, huh? Invisibility. Mudano! Let's pick up where we left off! Hey, I'm next, right? Think again! This is round two. The fight's still on! I guess you forgot how you couldn't even lay a hand on me before. Or maybe you're just plain stupid? I'll give you that. Round one was yours! But there's no way I'm losing round two! And the reason is because you're strong, Mudano! The stronger you are, the more your own strength will crush you! Rebirth's Deluge! Osuke Momokado's ability: Copy. He can replicate any technique he's been hit with, but only abilities from one person in a 24-hour period. That's... I wanted to try this out from the very first time I saw it! Is anyone hurt? N-No, we're fine! Mudano! Come on, let's do this! To put it simply, it's you versus yourself! You guys. I'm leaving him to you all. - Huh? - Huh? You can handle someone like him. What the hell do you mean by that? I've got no interest in cheap copycats. More importantly, it's better to incapacitate this one. How flattering. Did you just call me out? What the hell is that? You're not gonna even fight? Leaving it to these brats, huh? You've gotta be kidding me. In that case... if I butcher these kids, you'll have no choice but to fight me, right? E-Even if we all fight together, I'm not made for combat. What do I do? I still can't control my blood. Oh, crap, I'm gonna die. My stomach hurts. I'm gonna keel over. You don't have to do anything. - I'll— - Step aside. I'll take this one! Since Tsukuyomi's group is on the move, the Nerima Battle Unit will be coming to reinforce us. Hold out until then. Don't even think about trying to take him down. Don't try to take him down? You saying I can't handle it? You think I'm that worthless? Fine, fine. I get it. I'll beat the hell out of him! He's pretty good at riling them up in just the right way. We've got this. Shall we start here, too? No, let's move. It'll make it easier for both of us. Sure. Don't lose. Tch. You lot, fall back. Mudano's gone, and I'm stuck babysitting brats. I thought I'd get to fight Mudano, but instead I'm stuck with kids. You get it? You understand my rage? No? You really don't get it? If you don't get it, then drop dead, you damn fools! Thanks for stepping up. I don't wanna fight. No way. I'm scared out of my mind. Thanks, Yaoroshi. That bastard. Always playing the nice guy, stealing hearts. I'll kill him, even if he is a man. Die. Lose. Die... Why do I feel such a sinister aura right beside me? Die! I'm not scared of any kids! First Mudano, now you. Both of you treating me like I'm nothing! What's today's rage gonna bring forth? Blood Eclipse Release! Devilish Hysteria: Sacred Twin Swords! Wait, twin swords? This is bad. Damn it. Not knowing what I'll pull out next pisses me off every time. Mudano's technique is long range, which means that bastard's gonna keep his distance while attacking. I've gotta find a way to close in. Really close! But if he's coming closer, that works out just fine for me! I'll tear him to shreds! Osuke Momokado's ability is Copy. No wonder the reports were inconsistent. What's he thinking? Throwing away the advantage of his bow to pick a close-range fight? There's one thing in his intel that's been consistent. What is it? An overwhelming talent for hand-to-hand combat. And on top of that, he's strong. This guy's dodging everything without breaking a sweat! You're moving in slow motion! It's boring the hell out of me, you insignificant worm! You're so damn weak, it's not even funny. Why'd you step up? Just some flashy show-off who wants attention? I can't stand boring little gnats like you. I hate your guts. Yaoroshi! Every last one of you pisses me off. The Nerima Battle Unit will be coming to reinforce us. Hold out until then. He ticks me off... but I could kick myself for pulling garbage moves. I can only use my power one more time. Gotta bet it all on that last shot. But if it's another piece-of-shit technique... Boring. Gazing at my nails is more fun than watching you. Die. Drop dead already, Ikari Yaoroshi! What will my final rage bring forth? What the... Wind pressure blew them all away? Where'd that brat go? Hey! You wanted some fun, right? Then I'll give you a show! Now we're talking! This might be more interesting than staring at my nails! Blood wings. Beautiful. Did you just say, "Beautiful"? I'm the one who's beautiful, aren't I? Aren't I? What? This is scary. Aren't I? Or maybe if he dies, you'll look at me... Lovebirds right next to me. It hurts when they flirt. Everyone else is amazing. I'm useless. Just worthless trash. Jackpot! Well, good for you! Thanks to that, I'm fired up, too! Now dance for me! Boldly floating over my head. That's a no-fly zone! Nice! You're actually pretty good! But listen. What are you gonna do about this many? What a blast! Don't you think? If we're birds of a feather, then you feel it, too! Dueling to the death is a thrill! Don't lump me in with the likes of you! - Lose. Lose. Lose. - He's diving in? - What's he planning? - Lose. Lose. Lose. Wow! He's dodging everything! Blow to pieces! You sure about this? An angel flying that low... When an angel draws near the ground... that's when they fall from grace. - Oh, no! - He's falling! Nothing to be ashamed of! I had a hell of a time! To end your life in a fight to the death, what better curtain call is there? I envy you! Damn it. Am I really gonna die here? Hey, Ikari. You're joining us already? It's a little early, isn't it? Am I seeing things? That's right. I haven't forgotten. For every... ...comrade who's fallen, I'll drag a Momotaro bastard down to hell! So until then, I sure as hell won't die! Don't you dare give up! You pathetic runt! What the hell? Once something I generated with Devilish Hysteria is gone, I can't remake it. So I'll pour every last drop of blood into the wing I've got left! Still going? Fine by me! I'll keep you company! Let's dance! Everyone, get down! You'll be caught in it! I love this! Shattered to bits, huh? Roar of the Fallen Angel! You said we were birds of a feather, but you're dead wrong. If I die fighting, I'll accept that. But I wouldn't get any joy out of that. The best thing is to keep winning, isn't it? Being too damn ready to accept your death was your downfall. You thought dying in battle was just another kind of thrill, didn't you? H-He won! Ikari won! Fool. Never underestimate the sheer will of someone who refuses to lose. Yaoroshi! Blood... Hey! Are you okay? No choice! I'll have to give you mouth-to-mouth! Uh, no, it's not that bad. Is Yaoroshi all right? No, this is really bad. His left arm is barely hanging on. Um, with the Oni healing factor, won't he pull through? He doesn't have enough blood. His healing can't keep up. At this rate, he might bleed out and die. No. Anyway, we can't stay here! Let's get him to the Medical Unit! W-Wait. He's alive! He seems barely conscious. We need to move while we can! R-Right! Damn you, Mudano... dumping the babysitting duty on me. The Momotaro troops are on the move. Are they planning to wipe us all out? Action!

So there's a place like this underground. Kyoto had one, too. Do Oni just really like living underground? You'll understand once someone's tried to kill you. Enough talk. Let's begin. Ah, hold on a sec. This bowling ball right here... it's my lucky item for today! Oh, and don't ask where I pulled it from, okay? It's kinda heavy, so I'll just set it down here. Whoops. Whoa! That was close! See? My lucky item saved me! Thank you, Madame Myorinpa! That made it a heavy haul, but I persevered, bringing it all the way here. I can't begin to thank you enough. This is why you're the master, Madame Myorinpa. I'll follow you forever! Think you can beat someone whose fortune's at its peak? Lighting a beacon of hope at the journey's end Walking on instinct, ignoring the noise Searching for the real thing, though admittedly a little uncertain I chase after your shadow Win or lose, it was all-or-nothing This game of moral justice, good and evil Two sides of the same coin, entangled in rules Flames wrapped in righteousness "Only God knows our fate" That's just a coward's way out If you're going to bear a grudge, then be ready If you've made up your mind, see it through Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Living in chaos, mad and unrestrained My heart's fate, drawn at random like an Amidakuji In times of turmoil, whenever they come Each wound I bear is proof of our bond Wear them with pride Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh Oh oh oh ohh This is what a life worth loving looks like Yeah, shake it off, shake it off Let all this absurdity shatter to pieces Beyond the inner conflict, my thoughts are with you As the days flow by I hear the voices of my friends racing through my mind In the sound of impermanence echoing all around Do you believe in fortune telling? I've got no interest in it. But I can't stand people who meddle with others' fates. Hey, hey, relax. The night's still young. Damn it. Too bad. What was that vision just now? Why did I let my guard down? You moved 0.3 seconds too slow. Ragnarok: The Eight of Swords. The power of the Eight of Swords is restraint. Once you're caught by fate's blade, there's no escaping it. I can't move. That starry sky you saw was from the Star card. It has a relaxing effect. That dreamy sky made you drop your guard for just a moment. And that moment was all the opening I needed. Ragnarok. He wields power through tarot cards... each drawn card determining the ability that manifests. Looks like the dawn of the end is near. My, my. Seems even God wants to see my checkmate. The Chariot card. Well, naturally, you blocked it. My arms are free. He can use multiple cards at once? How long can you keep that up? More good luck for me. My good fortune pierces right through your misfortune. See? You're starting to crack. And through those cracks, your bad luck peers out. Oh, time's up, huh? The restraint is gone. So there's a time limit. Barely dodged that one. But even if you avoided that, you won't dodge this next one. Oh, there goes my Chariot. But no problem. I've already drawn a new card. Touched you. What the? My body's moving in slow motion. The Four of Swords. You're a sluggish turtle for five whole seconds. Do you think five seconds is short? The answer is no. It's more than enough time to lower the curtain on your life. What a flawless fortune! Oh? Not dead yet? Impressive. But you're not quite as strong as the stories say. Legends always get a little exaggerated, don't they? I'll be the one to put an end to your legend. What? What's happening? What did you do? What did you do to my body? Mudano! You've been standing in a rain of blood this whole time. What? I've been making it rain so finely you couldn't even see it. That invisible blood soaked in and ate away at your organs bit by bit. That's all. Drunk on your own superiority, I suppose you didn't notice your clothes getting filthier and filthier? Yeah, I got careless. If I'd realized it, this never would have happened. If the rain was that fine, I could have read the wind and dodged it. Sorry, but I'm gonna have to speed things up! Knight of Swords! Honestly, what an ill-mannered horse. Hurting yourself with your own ability? So you pulled a reversed one this time? You know about that? In tarot, every card has an upright and a reversed position. A reversed draw generally means something unfavorable. And Tsukuyomi is no exception to that rule. When Ragnarok's luck is high, the cards are drawn upright. When fortune turns against him, reversals come more easily. He can draw up to three cards at once, but once they're drawn, reversed or not, he has to use them before he can draw again. In your own words, maybe you'd say, "Lady Luck's finally smiling on me." God can be fickle at times. The Seven of Wands... reversed! This can't hold up against a reversal. Damn it. I had my lucky item. I even prayed. I've trusted in fortune, trusted in God all this way. And yet God still turns His back on me? Fine, then. I'll make God look my way! The Devil, reversed! Not every reversal carries misfortune! Sometimes a reversed card brings good luck! The Devil, reversed. Liberation from suffering. A turn toward the desired path. With this, God has finally turned His gaze toward me. He'll never look at another man again. Strength, upright. God's eyes are locked on me now. You can't rollerblade forever! How long do you plan to keep running? This is the end, Mudano! You think that can block it? Pierced straight through! It didn't reach me. You used my lucky item? It was nearby, so I borrowed it. Too bad. Looks like it wasn't really that lucky for you after all. I made the umbrella less dense and let the ball take the hit. See, I conserved my blood for this. What is it? Okami-no-kami. This is bad. I have to draw another card, fast! Abyssal Darkwater. My body's a wreck. Can't even move anymore. If you're going to kill me, make it quick. I'm not going to kill you. That's not my goal. Doesn't sound like the words of the man they call the Hundred Slayer. I'm not the same as I was back then. Hmph. I see. That explains a lot. You're the one who killed Tsubakiri, aren't you? Or no. To be exact, you just delivered the final blow. Tsubakiri's death report mentioned severe burns all over his body and other fatal wounds, but the direct cause of death was a stab wound to the heart. He probably sustained mortal injuries in his fight with Shiki Ichinose. He would have died anyway. Yet you chose to finish him off. It's almost like you didn't want to stain Ichinose's hands with blood. That would certainly demonstrate how you've mellowed out compared to the old days. That's none of your concern. If it's true, then you've gotten awfully soft. I don't entirely hate that kind of softness. So I lost. It's refreshing, sure, but I can't pretend it doesn't sting. I'll challenge you again, without a doubt. And of course, I'll stake my life on it again. This time, God chose your victory, but next time, I'll be the one who wins. Nonsense. I'll never let some god decide my fate. Don't do that. Denying even my identity... I can lose, but I don't want to lose everything. It's almost like you didn't want to stain Ichinose's hands with blood. I won't allow him to kill out of immaturity. He needs to learn to decide of his own will whether to save a life or take one. Teaching him that is my job. Vice Captain Osuke! Are you all right? You're badly hurt, sir! Vice Captain, hang in there! Call the medical unit now! It's not... over yet. There's no one left, sir! They're gone? You've gotta be... kidding me. The Oni Battle Unit's on its way here! Then... I'll go fight them instead. No! If we leave him, he'll die! Let's carry him out! Put him on my back! Put me down, damn it. I'm not letting go! I said put me down, damn it! I'm not putting you down! I look up to you and the captain, Vice Captain! Don't you dare die such a lousy death! Get back here! Persistent bastard! If I hit the main street like this and get caught in a crowd, the higher-ups will notice for sure. You're not getting away! He went up. Fine by me! He's already leapt to the next building! But I can catch up! What the hell am I seeing? This ain't my view! Fall! Damn, my eyes are burning. Used my power too many times in a row! I'll be damned if I let him get away. He's the one bastard I'm gonna make pay. Quit tailing me already! I've got you cornered. Why couldn't you just die like you were supposed to, you asshole? Damn trash, using your head like you're all clever. Follow the plan and die according to the plan, that's all you had to do! I was this close to making it work! You gonna kill me now? Huh? That's right. Because I'm a Momotaro? That's part of it. But more than that, you drag too many people into your mess. Why'd you involve kids? Why'd you pull in innocent people at all? Your job's supposed to be protecting civilians. Scum like you has no right to call me trash! Who gives a shit? I don't give a damn who dies or what happens to 'em! I'll do whatever it takes to climb higher. Everything else can burn for all I care! Kids? Who cares, you idiot? If killing a few brats gets me promoted, I'll do it with a smile! Protect civilians, huh? What a joke! Not every Momotaro thinks like that! Hell, I'd be grateful if the Oni wiped out more people! That's right! Kill more civilians! Kill 'em! Kill 'em! So when I finally put that Oni down, my reputation's gonna skyrocket! Watching him reminds me of who I used to be not long ago. What if she needs emergency treatment? What then? That's not my problem. Not your problem, huh? I don't like discriminating against students... but I really hate types like you. Now I understand why Mudano snapped at me back then. I can't stand people like you! You can't be allowed to live! For the sake of the Oni and humans alike. And I'm the one who's gonna kill you! You want a promotion, huh? Be happy. You'll get two of them when you're dead. Stay the hell away from me! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Me, getting beat by some brat like this? No way! Where the hell did I screw up? No, there's no way I messed up. That can't be right. Pathetic. At least have the decency to go out with some dignity. It can't be. It can't! Not supposed to be this way! I just can't believe it!

You've got it all wrong! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding. Convenient word. Burning the hospital down. A misunderstanding. Trying to kill a child. A misunderstanding. Killing those punks. Also a misunderstanding. Are you mocking me? I'm tellin' you, it's not like that! I tried to stop it! But by the time I got there, it had already happened! Man, using me as both monitor and backup for an emergency... I should probably get a bit closer, but if I do, he'll notice. That brat, Mikado... has razor-sharp senses, like a damn animal.

But what infuriates me most is that you used me... to kill children and thugs alike! Trampling on someone's feelings... that's a grave sin. Yamata no Orochi. So he's using his guns after all. Wait, Mikado! I'm not done talkin'! I missed on purpose. There's something you need to do before you die. Repent your sins and confess. Don't take your lies to the grave. Screw that! I'm not apologizing! I haven't done a damn thing to apologize for! I see. You've disappointed me! He's seriously tryin' to kill me. I've gotta calm him down somehow, or this is gonna turn into a bloodbath. Hey... that night at the festival, did you approach me knowing I was a Momotaro? Huh? Hell no! Every word that comes out of your mouth, I can only hear it as a lie now. Guess it's already too late. He's even started doubting how we first met. I get why he'd wanna doubt me. But still, he really can't trust me at all? Okay. I see. So in your eyes, I'm not your friend anymore, just your enemy. You can repent in hell. Yeah, fine, then. I get it. You've got no intention of hearing me out! Then I'll make you listen. Blood Eclipse Release! If I have to beat it into you, then so be it! Idiot! Closing in with all the confidence in the world. It can't be. It can't! Not supposed to be this way! I just can't believe it! Unbelievable! Die, dumbass! I planted small bombs in some of these tiles. Small enough to keep me from getting caught in the blast, but with enough impact to blow off his leg. I'd love to kill him right now, but I need to pull out while I still can. I'll regroup, and next time, I'll make damn sure he dies. No matter what! You're a filthy bastard. That's why it was easy to figure out. Guys like you always have some kind of trick up your sleeve. You dragged all kinds of people into this mess. And then you laughed at them. Can't breathe. This is what it gets you. Pathetic. Go to hell and think about what you've done. Don't look at me like that! I don't want to die! I don't want to die here! Can't breathe! Die? No! I don't want to die yet! I'm going to climb higher! I'll make every bastard who ever looked down on me eat their words! When people are born, God hands them a set of cards, and those cards decide their lives. You can't trade them with anyone else. Those who draw overwhelming talent get to walk through life with ease. But the cards I was dealt didn't hold any overwhelming talent. From the moment I was born, even God had turned His back on me. At the Momotaro Agency, that difference was crystal clear. I had no talent or athletic ability. I was just another below-average Momotaro. The first thing they told me when I joined was... Do your best to support from the rear. It was the same as being told from the start that I'd never rise above anyone. The younger, talented ones mocked me, used me, and looked down on me. They didn't even bother remembering my name. I swore I'd make every last one of them choke on their pride. Those with combat-type abilities strutted through the spotlight without even putting in real effort. Just wait and see! How many times did I whisper that to myself? I turned my jealousy and hatred toward the gifted into my driving force. And so I faced my own ability head-on. I asked myself what I had to do to rise higher with it. I made a classified request to enhance my ability, training relentlessly... pushing to extend its duration and the number of people I could perceive. The training was brutal. I didn't even have time to sleep. But along the way, I realized something. This ability had its limits. What an idiot. Weakling! God, you never even bothered to look my way, did you? So no matter how dirty my hands get, as long as no one finds out, it doesn't matter, right? I crossed the line to climb higher. I used every method I could... dug up weaknesses, stole personal info, and bent people to my will. Even if it cost lives, I didn't care. Once your hands are stained, they'll never be clean again. But I have no regrets. There was no other path left for me. All that effort finally paid off. I rose to the rank of captain, the one they said I could never reach. Watching the bastards who used to look down on me suddenly grovel was the greatest feeling in the world. But it still wasn't enough. I'd make every last one of those turds realize how blind they'd been. To do that, I had to climb higher. Higher and higher! That's what I thought. And now I'm being brought down by some damn kid! It's always the same. The ones with talent are the ones who get in my way. Why? Why can't I just have this? I worked my ass off without an ounce of talent. What's so wrong with getting a bit of blood on my hands? I... wanted it, too. That natural gift! Next time... Next time, it won't end like this! In my next life, I swear... I'll draw... a true talent! Shinya never knew it, but for other Momotaro born without talent, he'd become a symbol of hope. Even without a powerful ability, his rise to captain of a frontline unit inspired many who saw him. He didn't walk a path anyone would praise. But he never stopped looking upward. A man who fought on, wrestling with questions of talent and worth. Shinya Momoiwa, dead at age 28. This is a futile battle. Then I'll use force... to make you listen! I won't waste my ears on nonsense! He's using his guns like boosters? That kid Mikado is really something. Even while moving at that speed, he's still locked right on to Ichinose. Shit! This is bad. By controlling multiple guns at once... he can anticipate where Ichinose will move and cut him off before he even gets there. In other words, there's no escape. He's got me pinned down! Maybe I should increase the power a bit. To handle multiple guns at once at that age and even adjust their power? He must have been born with a whole different level of killer instinct. That's what they call a prodigy. He's gonna shatter my gun at this rate. I need to move. Remake it while I still can. No escape. Maybe it's still not enough power. Crap! Whoa! That was overkill! Compared to Mikado, Ichinose's control over his output is sloppy as hell. Keep firing like that, and you'll be anemic in no time. Did I hit him? He's gone? Where the hell did he go? You're weak, Ichinose. He's completely outmatched. Ichinose doesn't stand a chance. So that's the Oni's regenerative power. Damn it! We both use guns, yet I can only summon one. Wait. Why the hell did I just assume I could only make one? If Mikado can do it, there's no damn reason I can't! Idiot! I've been holding myself back this whole time! The difference in our power should be obvious, and yet... that fire in his eyes hasn't gone out? I can be... like Mikado, too. Come on, manifest! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Damn it, manifest already! What are you doing? Crap! That was close! Why won't it work? One gun comes out just fine. Damn it! How the hell does he do it? Think! Come on, think! Think, damn it! No good! I've got nothin'! Damn it! I've gotta hit back! Thinking ahead's never been Ichinose's strong suit. Nuts! Defense and distraction, huh? Pathetic. Admit defeat already. Do that, and for old times' sake, I'll kill you quick. That hurt. That? This rock is kinda shaped like a gun. Better than nothing. He's smiling. What's he planning? Feels right in my hand. But still, nothing's comin' out. What's different between me and Mikado? How the hell does he do it? I don't know what you think you're doing, but... Six guns? You really are incredible, Mikado. If you don't admit defeat, you'll be torn apart. Like hell I will! I don't do anything I can't believe in! You're as stubborn as ever! Takes one to know one! Action!

What's he thinking? Conjuring multiple guns isn't easy. It's like the "dominant hand rule." Try writing with your nondominant hand. It's never neat. Same principle. It's only natural he can't get the hang of it right away. For a weapon-materialization type like him, he's gotta train with handling multiple real weapons first before trying to control multiple blood weapons at once. Even then, it takes insane mental strength, focus, and imagination. Six guns at once, though? Gives me chills. Shiki Ichinose isn't the kind of guy who fights with his head. You can multiply zero brains by anything. It still comes out zero. If he tries copying a genius, he's gonna die. This is really bad. I can't feel my right arm! His regeneration can't keep up. Maybe this is where he hits his limit. I've gotta regroup. How the hell do I— No, I just need to move, anything! I told you, didn't I? You're weak. This outcome was inevitable. Farewell. Your heartbeat's melody ends here. Huh? Am I dying? Why the hell am I trying this hard? Why am I even trying to pull out another gun? I don't need to copy Mikado to fight. I just have to do it my own way. No, that's not it. I know. I... look up to Mikado. I admire his strength. Man... I wish I could be like you, too. If I were, things wouldn't have turned out this damn pathetic. If I were stronger, I could stop more kids like Mei from ending up like that. Even my dad... he wouldn't have had to die. Yeah. Yeah, that's it! I just wanna be stronger! Like Mikado... No. Stronger than Mikado! This is... Stronger than Mikado! Getting to meet someone like you, someone who made me feel this way, seriously, I'm a happy guy! So this is... Enki. That guy... he just materialized two guns. Sure, the power of Enki is backing him up... but once you get the hang of it, you've got it for good. Let's see where this goes next. When Mikado pointed his gun at me, I realized something. His weapons were crafted down to the smallest detail. To make something real, you've gotta picture it piece by piece, as if you're building it from scratch. Never thought all those times I took apart airsoft guns would pay off here. But I'm still stuck at two guns, damn it. Face to face, I can feel it on my skin. An overwhelming pressure, like my blood's about to boil. But so what? That's no reason to run! Block it like your life depends on it! 'Cause you'll die if you don't! It feels like I'm burning from both inside and out. If I underestimate him, I'll be turned to ash. From here on out, I'm going all-in! Sorry to keep you waiting. I must have been so weak, it bored you, huh? Now we can fight as equals. Equals? My friend... don't you dare die on me! Don't make me laugh! You're out of your league! In a gunfight, meeting head-on in a straight line isn't ideal... so... I'll attack from an angle you can't reach! How? How are you up there? He's melted the concrete with his heat and jammed his feet right into it. Now I can pull that off, too! The power's incredible, but... ...your output's so huge, it makes your trajectory easy to read. You're kidding me! Which means it's easy to dodge! He's right. There's got to be balance between strength and control. Can I even do that? Yeah, I can! All I did was picture every detail, and now all these images are flooding into my head! I can do this. I can do this! I can do it! Even holding back, that power's amazing. And those flames, what a nuisance. He's developing fast. Thinkers pick things up quickly, but they take time to master them. Meanwhile, instinctive types take longer to grasp the basics. But once they do, they adapt fast, especially when it's a friend who spurs it on. Hell yeah! How's that? Nothing to get cocky about. An RPG? Oh, crap! This is seriously bad! Close one. A homing type? No response. He shouldn't be dead from a single hit. Did he aim short on purpose? Shit! I'm fallin'! Damn it! Let go of that! Weirdly enough, this fight ain't half bad, huh? Feels like I've still got more left to give. Laughing in the middle of a fight. You're insane. What are you talking about? Mikado Momodera had always been cool and detached. His strength had never once made him burn with passion. And then, one day, Shiki Ichinose appeared before him. Without a doubt, this man would set Mikado's heart ablaze. You're smilin', too, aren't you? Hey, Mikado. When I'm with you, I feel like I can keep growin' stronger. I wanna be that kind of person for you, too. Uh-oh. He's going berserk? So heavy... He's on a whole different level from before. There's no opening to counter. It's unlike any other Oni's rampage. Pure, mindless slaughter. This is an Oni? No. This is a demon! Looks like the Kishin power went over capacity. Even with my full defense, this much damage... Is this as far as I go? Mikado... kill... me. Or else... I'll... kill... you. Kill me... before I... lose it... completely. Please... hurry. He's still conscious? I don't wanna... kill my friend. Kill... me! Hey, dumbass Momo, listen up. I'll draw Ichinose away. In the meantime, haul your wrecked body up and finish this. The worst-case scenario is he goes down into the city. Civilians will die. I don't care what you think. Get up and blast him. Shoot like you mean to kill him. Otherwise you won't stop him. But if you really do kill Ichinose, I'll kill you. You're contradicting yourself. But you're right. We can't involve civilians. In this condition, I need to prep. Give me five minutes. Get ready quick. We don't have time to waste. You don't need to tell me. But I can't promise you won't catch flak, too. Cocky for someone who's got one foot in the grave. Well, then, let's see how far a so-called noncombatant can go. This is gonna sting. Bring it on, brat! Can you see me with those peepers? Damn. Can't even get close. Guess I'll focus on keeping his attention. Still, though... it's cruel. To still be conscious while in a berserk state. Run... away. I really... will... kill you. It'd probably be easier if you'd just give in to the rage and black out. But that willpower of yours, that stubborn fight against losing yourself... Run... away. ...I won't let it be in vain, jackass. I've never heard of an Oni in berserk mode still being conscious! He's crying. Berserk Oni are supposed to be mindless weapons. Killing them is the right thing to do, or so I thought. Then why is he crying? Doesn't that mean he still has awareness? Feelings? Could it be all the Oni I've killed before... were crying, too? Then how much pain must that be... wanting not to hurt anyone, yet ending up hurting everyone around you? Even through that pain... you still worried about me. Even as you cried... You've always been so honest and so kind. I don't wanna... kill my friend. Even after losing himself... he still called me his friend. I'm such a fool! It must hurt. It must be unbearable. Ichinose... No, Shiki! I'll end your suffering with my own hands. Unreal. Even when I disappear from sight, he tracks me with his other senses. Shit! You've gotta be kidding me. Damn it. Of all things, my leg. What a pain in the ass. If he takes him out, he'll come for me next. What do I do? I'm still not ready. The more I think about it, the more hopeless it feels. This is why I hate babysitting kids. Run. I'm a disgrace. Ichinose... don't feel guilty about my death. What's with that peaceful look? You planning to retire to the afterlife already? Sorry I'm late. Your dramatic entrance pisses me off. No need for a status report. I've got a pretty good idea what's going on. So when are you planning to fire that thing? Showing up out of nowhere and acting all high and mighty, huh? I'm ready. Fire... I have to fire. There's no way to save him except death to free him from his pain. At least let it be by my hand! Mi... Mikado... Feeling this way makes me a failure as a Momotaro. But I don't care anymore. Momotaro, Oni, none of that matters! This is the will of me, Mikado Momodera, as a person! Please. Please. Please... don't die! Don't die! Don't you die on me! Don't die! Thank... you. Sure. Action!

Kaoru, perfect timing. Captain! Your leg! Shiki... He's still breathing, barely. Idiots like him are supposed to be this tough. Take Ichinose to the Medical Unit. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah. For the sake of Ichinose's honor, let me make one thing clear. The hospital fire was started by your— I know. When I saw the power of the Enki, I realized it. If Shiki had really been the culprit, it wouldn't have ended with just a simple fire like that. Oh, yeah? Well, whatever. My stamina's gone. I can't fight for a while. Guess it's your lucky day. You can kill me easily. I'm not going to kill you. Huh? You're not gonna kill me? Why? Your goal is to bring the Momotaro to the negotiating table? That's right. We'll use force if necessary, but only the bare minimum. We're not trying to wipe out the Momotaro. So that's what you've been thinking. I see. But still... to make that happen, there's a huge wall standing in the way. After seeing Shiki's rampage, I could sense how dangerous things really are. If Momotaro and Oni are to coexist, I believe these rampages must be resolved. Didn't need you to tell me that. But it's complicated. Let's go, Mudano. Wait, please! Please tell Shiki I'm sorry. Apologies don't mean anything unless they come from your own mouth. But how am I supposed to look him in the eyes? I did something unforgivable to him. He probably doesn't even want to see me again. He's a simpleton, but he understands people's feelings. What matters is how you face him. I'm not passing along your apology. That's all. What can I do? He's used too much blood. Regeneration can't keep up! - Stop the bleeding! Now! - Yes, sir! His breathing and pulse are weakening! The bleeding's getting worse! I hope Shiki and Yaoroshi will be okay. That dumbass. Acts all high and mighty, then nearly gets himself killed. Captain, you should get treated, too. I can wait. Kaoru... You're taking over as the next Captain. I'm too lazy for handovers and all that, so just take the reins. Huh? With this leg, I can't fight in the field anymore. I've always known this day would come. It just happened to be today. What's with the gloomy faces? What are you doing here? What do you mean, what am I doing? The battlefield called to me... ...so I came! Surprised? Hey, Danny! Still looking dead in the eyes, huh? Oh, cute kid! If you get hurt, say something right away, okay? Terrible posture, though, like a cat. Masu! Long time no see. Wait, what happened to your right leg? It's gone! I used to think you just never changed your expression, but turns out you really are a robot. Still can't shut up, can you? I'll fix your leg later, too, Masu. But first, let's heal the promising young ones, shall we? Hey there, everyone! Kyoya's here to save the day! Doctor! Dr. Oiranzaka! All right, let's keep that blood coming! As long as I'm here, no one's future is gonna get stolen. If I had a cooler head, maybe I would have realized... that this was all your doing. I let my own weakness show. Tsukuyomi's fortune telling said someone needed to be weeded out, but that person was you, not Shiki. Your deeds are unforgivable. At the very least, repent for your sins in the afterlife. But... the way you kept pushing forward was truly admirable. Huh? Where am I? M-Morning. The flirtatious physician? Even I get worn out sometimes. What are you doing here? And, damn, you look exhausted! You're loud the second you wake up! Yaoroshi, too? What are you doin' here? Looks like he's awake! Shiki, are you okay? Can't believe you even recovered from that! Was it really that bad? Yeah, man, straight-up nightmare material. Seriously? My memory's all spotty. But I feel like I'm startin' to remember. I'm so, so sorry! Sliding grovel! I remember now! I blew your leg off! I'm really, really sorry! Better be, you little punk. It's healed? Forget my leg. The problem is that you lost control. One wrong move, and a lot of civilians would have died... all because you're weak in both body and mind. We were lucky, and no one died this time. But next time, you will kill someone. And don't forget this, all of you. You each have the power to easily take a life. And if you lose control, that power will turn on everything around you indiscriminately. Never forget how terrifying that truly is. So get stronger. Strong enough that you'll never have to rely on losing control again. Yes, sir. Well, at least this means you don't have to retire. Tch! Just when I was looking forward to finally taking it easy. Dr. Oiranzaka's ability really is incredible. He completely healed Shiki's wounds. Me? It was thanks to Shiki's own recovery ability. It's extraordinary. I think it's connected to Kishin's blood. Actually, that's what I came here to talk to you about. It's a bit of a complicated topic. Want to talk one-on-one? Huh? Tell me more. I'm curious about this "Kishin blood." It's fine by me if we talk about it here. Got it. Okay. There's plenty to talk about, but let's start with the basics, what exactly Kishin blood is. The origin of all Oni, the Kishin. And those who inherited the Kishin blood are called the Children of Kishin. And, Shiki, that's what you are. What? Shiki's parents were Kishin? That's awesome! Nah, I don't know anything about my biological parents. Sorry! That was super insensitive of me! It's fine. All Oni, at the root, descend from the Kishin's scattered seed. If you trace it back far enough, we're all connected to the Kishin. Among Oni every so often, a child is born that Kishin's blood manifests in more strongly than the rest. They say one appears whenever Oni are on the brink of extinction, but the details are unclear. The Kishin's blood manifests in eight distinct traits. Yours is the trait of fire. You're what we call an Enki, a Flame Oni. Enki... The Kishin's traits are extraordinary. They say the power of a Child of Kishin rivals or even surpasses that of the berserk state. Huh? But I felt stronger when I was berserk. That's because you've only been using about 10% of your Enki power. Ten percent? Yeah, it's not like you can suddenly use it fully right off the bat. You'll need to grow stronger, both in mind and body. Oh, and one more thing. Compared to other Oni, your regeneration is also much faster. That's probably why your wounds healed up so perfectly this time. Straight-up cheat-level stuff. Yeah, it's basically a cheat power. But that abnormal strength comes at a price. Every Child of Kishin in history has died young. Think of that immense power as something given in exchange for your lifespan. If you overuse it, you could die as early as your teens. It's not uncommon. So, yeah, maybe try not to go overboard. As long as you don't depend too much on the Kishin power, you'll be fine. Way too casual! Just being a Child of Kishin makes you a target for the Momotaro. And the more you're targeted, the more often you'll end up having to use that power. Damn, seriously? Again, as long as you don't overuse it, you'll probably be fine. No need to get so down about it. Oh, wait! I just remembered. I got carried here completely naked! Huh? That means everyone saw me! Wha? Can't believe you don't even have any hair down there. Don't talk about it! You're seriously hairless? I'm not! It just burned off, okay? Homare! I don't have any, either. What do you think about that? What? What about you? Let's see yours. Huh? What woman will want me? Glad to see he's still got some spirit. Not so sure about that. Dying in my teens, huh? Don't tell me you're sulking. That's not like you. Don't scare me, jackass! And for the record, I'm not sulking! What are you even talking about? I don't have Kishin's power. But I'm gonna get strong enough to crush the Momotaro without ever needing it. You should get strong enough that you don't need to rely on that kind of power, either. Getting depressed over something so simple is pathetic. What's this? You here to cheer me up? You? Are you plotting something? Yeah, right, pubeless! I'll kill you! You little... Jeez. Annoying jerk. Finally heading home, eh? Good riddance. Finally heading home, eh? Good riddance. Doctor Dude, you goin' back to Kyoto? Nah, not this time. I'm the new school doctor at Rasetsu Academy starting today. You'll be seeing a lot of me! Wait, what? I'm worried you'll make a move on a student. I can't help it. Doing the wrong thing's just more exciting. Yeah, more like he'll be there to keep an eye on Ichinose. If we go down from here, we can leave without being seen. Guess that's goodbye to Nerima, then. See ya! You blow off someone's leg and still have the nerve to smile on your way out? Don't ever come back. I'm sorry! This guy... he'll probably keep griping forever, but still, come visit again sometime. Let's just make sure we live long enough to meet again. Kaoru, stay sharp! Huh? Wait, that's... Mikado? Kaoru, how many Momotaro are around us? Actually, there aren't any. He's the only one here. Mikado! Hey, you! Mikado! Because of your damn misunderstanding, I went through hell, you know that? Yeah, I lost control, fine, but if you hadn't been tricked in the first place, none of that would have happened! You act all smart, but when it really counts, you're a total idiot! Moron! He's right. Because of my own incompetence, I put everyone through so much pain. An apology isn't enough. But still... my consciousness was fading in and out then, but I can at least say this. I could hear your voice, you know. Please... don't die! Hearin' that made me really happy. You spoke from the heart, and I think that's why I was able to fight back against the berserk state 'til the very end. Sorry, man. You saved me. Shiki... you're such a warm person. I'm sorry! Don't sweat it! We'll meet again, yeah? We definitely will. I already know what I have to do. Quite the flashy defeat, huh? Guess for us both. Shut up. Don't be so touchy. I ain't touchy! But the fortunate thing is we're still alive. This way! Wait up! Whoa. I'm sorry! No, my bad. Are you okay? Yeah! I'm fine! Good. Papa! I'm hungry! I'm starving, too. Well, we're all alive and getting out of the hospital, so how about we celebrate with a big meal? Pancakes! Hamburg steak! You know something? As long as you're alive, you can always try again. And I assume you have revenge in mind? Bet your ass I do! How long does the friggin' tunnel go on for? I don't know. Training starts again tomorrow. That sucks! Why didn't we just finish off that Momotaro back there, huh? I'm not ready to leave Tokyo yet! Homare! Let's go to Destinyland! - Okay? Yeah? - Uh, what? You're tired, huh, Rokuro? I'll give you a massage when we get back. All night long. - N-No, I'm fine. - Don't be shy. You're standing a little too close. You guys sure have fun, huh, Danny? Quiet, all of you. Action! Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara hara Oh oh oh A moonlit night Tonight is the ultimate voltage Our meeting was so emotional Oh oh oh I always figured we'd face off like this one day Oh, give me your words Even if I believe, there's no going back Oh, before I fall head over heels for you Dive me out Last dance Let's dive deep into love I want to try dancing with you Is it already checkmate? This charming little sparring match Good or evil, none of it matters Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think - Hara - I'm so crazy? - Oh oh oh Harahara hara Hey Harahara - Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh If I told Dad I'm actually going to school, even sorta, he'd probably be pleased. Wait, they made a Momotaro's grave here at the Oni base? That's surprisingly chill of them. Whoa! Professor Mudano! He's got a tattoo? Maybe I'll get a closer look. Hold it right there. Huh? Doctor Dude! Hey there. Don't go bothering Danny right now. He's at the graveyard. You know what that means. Yeah, guess you're right. That's a blackout tattoo, isn't it, the kind that's mostly solid black ink? Oh, you know your stuff. That's awesome! Is it like, all over his body? Pretty much, yeah. But he says it's still unfinished. Unfinished, huh? Then when it's done, I wanna see it! I don't think Danny ever wants that tattoo to be finished. Huh? Why not? Because that tattoo gets added to every time one of his comrades dies. In other words, every step closer that tattoo gets to being finished means another comrade has died. Maybe it's so he never forgets, or maybe it's his way of punishing himself. Danny's a tough cookie, right? No question. I think it's because he wants you to grow stronger so you can keep on living. If you can see his strictness as another form of care, that'd make me happy, as Danny's friend. I hate inefficiency. Oni blood is powerful but hard to control. When you go berserk, you lose both your self and your memory. And you destroy everything in the process. A knife in the hands of the ignorant is a terrifying thing. Kill me if you want. If you succeed, you graduate instantly, and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice. If you die chasing your goal, it's meaningless. Live for your goal. If you hate that, then fight. Drag them by the ears if you have to, but make them listen. The words of those who won't fight don't reach anyone. Professor Mudano! I'm not gonna die! I'll get so damn strong that nobody around me ever dies again! Sorry, but that tattoo of yours is stayin' unfinished forever! So yeah. You can be as strict as you want from now on. I can handle it! Don't shout in a graveyard. It's inappropriate. That's his way of showing affection, huh? No, that was just a normal warning. What?
