"Somethin' this li'l ain't gonna get me down." "I'm doin' right fine." "Tell Ma I ain't even caught one bug." "All righty." "Got it." "Well, see that ya mind yourself too." "All righty, g'night." "Kamaitachi has been defeated, but Eko has won this battle." "I guess even a great Karas is only human without you." " We're leaving." " We're leaving." " Hold on." "I want to watch just a bit longer." "We've come all this way to the city after all." "I want to do a little sightseeing." "Do as you please." "Oh, yeah." "If you need me, just holler, okay?" "What the hell happened here?" "What an ugly city." "Scrupulousness." "Uniformity." "Humans favor the silliest and easiest to understand words." "That simplistic attitude has led to a lack of imagination which has weakened us." "I have watched over this city for a number of centuries now." "However..." "At your paltry age, you cannot possibly fathom how I feel." "Yes." "It was humans who ruined this land." "In which case we must also change." "In accordance with justifiable evolution." "What of the obstacle?" "Rest easy." "It has already been removed, though with some losses." "Once he returns, it will be complete." "It is when that time comes that this city will be reborn." "That man..." "It's not working." "I wonder if it's still not enough." "Bro!" "You okay?" "Don't!" "He's the one who saved you!" "I see." "If you're not Karas anymore, I'm sorry." "Your younger brother is being held captive?" "Brother?" "...and awaken your little brother!" "We Nue are always born in pairs." "We both served under Eko together." "I had no idea we'd end up in this sorry state." "Eko?" "The big cheese of the Mikura." "The former Karas of this land." "Your predecessor." "Come to think of it, I've heard Karas is different from demons..." "Karas is born to Yurine, the spirit of that land in a covenant between her and humans." "When a human soul comes to dwell in her sacred treasure." "Normally, each land only has one Yurine." "But right now, this city has two Yurines." "Eko's Yurine grew weak, and he's free to run rampant." "He's trying to gain power over this city's humans and demons." "In an attempt to stop him, this city created a new Yurine." "That's your Yurine." "Then what Eko's doing is against the city's will." "Eko knows that full well." "But he's protected this city for hundreds of years and lost hope." "That rage and grief can't possibly be overturned." "But I'll get my kid brother back, no matter what." "I won't let him commit murder." "And the abducted Yurine?" "That, even I don't know." "If something happens you'll probably never become Karas again." "From here on, it's a demon problem." "Better to keep your nose out of it." "You go back to the person who's waiting for you." "Thank you." "So long." "The person waiting for me..." "What's going on?" "An incident happening at the hospital I checked out..." "What's that police chief hiding?" "Mr. Sagisaka." "Are you all right?" "Sorry for worrying you." "I just swung by the hospital in Ohkubo." "More out of concern for my daughter than the crime scene." "Thank you." "It seems my daughter and I owe you for last night." "N-Not at all." "More importantly, please take a look at this." "First, the Shinjuku hospital and now this." "Who's this man?" "The man from the TV broadcast." "And this is a patient who was in a coma at the Ohkubo hospital." "In a coma?" "And he suddenly woke up?" "We know nothing about this man." "His identity is unknown." "But at least where he was brought in from..." "That part, I checked into." "A factory in Shin-Ohkubo." "A witness said he apparently came falling out of the sky along with what sounded like gunshots." "Shall we?" "Of course." "The big city sure is amazing." "Every day is like a festival." "Governor!" "Governor!" "Step aside!" "Governor, your thoughts on Shinjuku getting less safe lately?" "Your top campaign pledge was public safety!" "Governor, your thoughts on Shinjuku getting less safe lately?" "Your top campaign pledge was public safety!" "Don't push!" "Will you take responsibility?" "It's not a matter of that." "The hospital accidents were caused by medical equipment." "There's no cause for concern." "This city is safe." "Safe, my ass." "What happened was nothing of the sort." "Oh, you've come to understand a little?" "Oh, no, not exactly." " That's a good omen." " That's a good omen." " Crap." "You've been struck with luck." "Rats?" "You really see a lot of groups of birds and rats lately." "What is it?" "A so-called sign of things to come?" "Shoot!" "What's this?" "Well, this is..." "Also being struck with luck?" "You're really going, bro?" "I thought I'd handle the Mikura one by one but it doesn't look like I've got the time." "Oh, yeah." "Got something for you." "Becoming Mikura had just one good perk." "We can be captured on machines called cameras." "Bro, I can't take this." "I want someone to hold on to it." "Eko was terribly infuriated by humans forgetting about demons." "Being forgotten is a lonely thing." "Bro..." "Fire!" "Masa!" "Masa!" "Why you!" "Are you some kind of monster?" "Bro, you were all right." "Pull it together." "We're going to run away together, right?" "Bro..." "One Week Ago" "One Week Ago Hey!" "Hey, Reiji, what's up?" "Why'd you send bro in alone?" "What's wrong with that?" "He was born a monster that doesn't feel pain or fear." "You bastard!" "Still, this shop is their hangout, right?" "Reiji." "Keep hanging around him and you're gonna die young." "Bro!" "This is bad." "You might be the boss's younger brother..." "But the way he thinks of you..." "Someday, he'll get you..." "Let's run away." "Somewhere they'll never find us." "Sure." "It's the middle of summer in New Zealand now." "According to research..." "That's it!" "New Zealand's good!" "It's on the other side of the globe." "If no one knows us I bet you won't have to kill people anymore either." "If you're going, anywhere's fine." "You've got that backwards!" "I'm normally the one saying anywhere's fine if you're going." "Is that right?" "Reiji." "Ow!" "You okay?" "That was lame." "The hell are you doing?" "You bastards!" "That's right." "From the very beginning while I was alive, I never "lived" in a true sense." "Pulse: 120." "BP: 70/50." "Can you hear?" "It's a hospital." "Understand?" "Can you hear?" "It's a hospital." " Are you in pain?" " Are you in pain?" " I ain't in pain." "Bro, do you remember our plan to go to New Zealand?" "Yeah." " Reiji!" " Reiji!" " Yousuke!" "Since you were born you were a monster that felt neither pain nor fear." "This city takes in anyone that comes its way." "Even the worst scum can find some small function to serve." "But you're different!" "You'd kill your own bro?" "Boss!" "Yousuke, what person would do such a thing?" "You're the one who said I'm not human Father!" "Yousuke..." "When you were born to my old lady and me you should've died along with her." "In other words, you should never have been born." "You accursed monster!" "Who are you?" "I'm Karas too." "Don't misunderstand." "I'm not your enemy or ally." "Then why?" "Personally, I guess because I want to see you and Eko fight." "But you know, right?" "The one who made me save you was my capricious partner." "I can't blame you for being surprised." "But this one is my Yurine." "Why'd she change her mind?" "Your master is still alive." "Which means the covenant has not completely dissolved." "That is all I came to tell you." "What?" "Are you siding with these guys?" "Jeez." "You really came just to say that?" "Since I'm here, I'll say this." "Not anyone can become Karas." "Only souls that know human sorrow become a real Karas like me." "Human or Karas." "I wonder which your soul will choose." "My soul." "As long as Eko is Karas, he has a weakness, Yurine." "If I go face him, I'll get my chance for sure." "I've been waiting, Nue." "Shooting so suddenly..." "We're not strangers." "After all that's happened, I've got nothing to say to you!" "I see thou art awake, Nue." "At long last, every actor is in place." "I grew weary waiting for thee, Nue." "I've been waiting for this moment too." "Got you!" "Got you, Eko!" "That Yurine hath lived by mine side for a great swath of time." "Thou canst not know the love and hatred I feel for her." "And thus, I couldst not bring myself to kill her." "However it seems thou art of the mind that I cannot be parted from her." "I chose!" "The path of a soul not governed by the will of the city!" "Otoha..." "T-This can't be..." "Now, Nue, call to him!" "Call and awaken thy younger brother!" "It seems he is happy to see thee after all this time." "Bastard..." "What have you done to my little brother?" "T-This is..." "This was built into all of ye from the very start." "What?" "Under Lord Eko, we Mikura are to offer ourselves to the new city." "You should be grateful." "If you hate anyone, hate Karas." "We Mikura were the pillars of this land." "If only Karas hadn't appeared the situation needn't have been so accelerated." "Tsuchigumo, you're all being deceived by Eko!" "I can finally be of use to you." "I'm sure Kappa and Wanyudo and Kamaitachi are all rejoicing." "Now, draw out the decay from this corrupt land and become a towering tree that will unify the new world!" "Sunshine City" "The Statue of Tsuchigumo" "Nakano Sun Plaza" "The Statue of Kamaitachi" "Roppongi Hills" "The Statue of Kappa" "Shinjuku Park Tower" "The Statue of Wanyudo" "What's going on here?" "There are rootlike things going up like a fence!" "Look over here too!" "Shinjuku's being surrounded?" "O city..." "O beloved city, source of chaos..." "Now is the time to be freed of every curse!" "The first will be here..." "The second..." "Here, maybe?" "Chief!" " You're still here?" " You're still here?" " The third..." "It's dangerous here!" "Please evacuate!" "You needn't worry about me." "More importantly, these are the emergency shelters." "Evacuate as many of the city's residents to these as you can." "Save as many lives as you can." "Y-Yes, sir!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Come!" "No!" "Mommy!" "Listen." "That's not your mother." "Your mother is sure to be alive somewhere." "Mister, you're hurt..." "It's okay." "I don't feel pain." "What's going on here?" "What's Eko thinking?" "This isn't the city we know anymore." "But isn't Eko retaliating against the humans on our behalf?" "Eko's no friend to us demons!" "Sure, the humans might believe in us again like in the old days..." "But look!" "With humans gone from this city our powers are growing even weaker." "Without humans, we demons can't survive either." "If we go along with Eko, we'll also be unable to survive unless we turn into those machine monsters!" "But no one can stand against Eko." "Lady Yurine is gone now too." "This city has forsaken us." "Bro..." "It's like they were neatly outwitted by Eko in the blink of an eye." "But still..." "Water, fire, wind, earth, and lightning." "Bound by magic and the five elements..." "He did a meticulous job." "That man has freed himself by binding this city." "But this way, no one inside can get out and the people outside can't get in." "If this city's Karas vanished, isn't it better to do something?" "We must not interfere in another city's affairs." "That is our code." "Man." "Has the will of the city truly..." "Yoshiko!" "What Yoshiko said was true." "Demons..." "Demons really exist!" "Mr. Sagisaka!" "Yoshiko!" "Chief!" "You're all right?" "The others have long since been evacuated." "Are you okay?" "The others have long since been evacuated." "Let us also leave this place quickly." "Chief, demons really exist." "What she said was true." "Mr. Sagisaka the intervention department was established for this day." "Mr. Sagisaka, please use your knowledge to the fullest." "I understand." "This way." "The basement here is a shelter with special walls." "They can't get in here so easily." "Impressive, Chief." "I'll go ahead to make sure the way's clear." "Chief, I was wrong about you." "I don't know what to say..." "Are you referring to the governor saying to watch me?" "You knew?" "I'm a chief who created an antidemon department." "It's no surprise if I was seen as being eccentric." "There are still so many..." "I believe this is our largest shelter." "Detective!" "Oh, Hinaru!" "Thank goodness you're all right, detective." "Same to you." "You're police officers?" " What's going on?" " What's going on?" " What's happening?" "When is help coming?" "When is help coming?" "What are the police doing?" "We still don't fully know the situation either!" "At any rate, going outside is dangerous!" "Please be patient here a while until things are under control!" "At least let us contact our families!" "I don't know where my daughter is!" "We got separated!" "Please calm down!" "It is safe in here!" "They will never attack you here!" "How can you make such an assertion?" "I can, because of a covenant with Lord Eko." "That is the promise that was made." "Eko." "Chief, a promise?" "All of this was caused by human arrogance." "This land was always sustained by demons." "Yet humans forgot about demons and acted haughtily, as if superior." "That is why Eko grew angry." "Take a look at this girl." "She said she saw demons and was sent to a hospital." "Her father was ostracized by society for believing her." "This family has served as a barometer that shows human foolishness." "If humans had believed this family the situation may have been better than now." "Y-You guys..." "Are you guys demons?" "Humans no longer have any choice." "That Mikura will suck humans' lifeblood and multiply indefinitely." "Humans can only serve as its food, as its livestock, and die!" "At this rate, all humans will be devoured by it!" "That must not happen!" "I too..." "I too have endured much." "That is why I asked Lord Eko not to lay a hand on this one sector." "Even with you, I held back." "So..." "So..." "I am the one who truly has a right to devour you!" "Demons!" "Yoshiko!" "Kure!" "Demons!" "I found demons!" "Mr. Sagisaka!" "If it's a demon, I'll give you an eyeful of one right now!" "Hold it!" "Yoshiko!" "Yoshiko!" "You there." "Sorry, but take care of her." "Mister!" " Be right back." " Be right back." " Um..." "Yoshiko!" "Yoshiko!" "Father!" "You're..." "Go." "You idiot!" "Run now!" "But!" "Hurry up!" "Father!" "Father!" "Mr. Sagisaka..." "You've run out of bullets." "And soon, your life as well." "Don't worry." "I'll reunite you with your daughter soon." "In my stomach!" "Shut up, Gyuki!" "Surprised?" "I know everything about demons!" "Look at this!" "Stop!" "Begone, evil spirit!" "You." "A human-turned-Karas..." "Of all people, I cannot miss my chance to eat you!" "I can't run any more." "Mister!" "That man..." "Mister!" "How can you stand with those wounds?" "Aren't you human?" "Why was I born human?" "Yurine..." "Why you!" "Wait." "A new Yurine is about to be born!" "A Yurine from a human..." "Watch closely." "The city's will is born through a human soul worthy of that city!" "Listen, Otoha." "You will continue to live as long as there are those in need." "Otoha, your soul was born precisely because this is the city." "Otoha, you must not die!" "Yurine..." "Go, Karas!" "As you wish." "Karas!" "Karas!" "Karas!" "Doctor Karas has come back!" "Impossible!" "Karas is coming." "A new Karas..." "Doctor Karas has come back!" "You've regained your powers as Karas?" "Good going." "Impossible!" "I have yet to have my main dish!" "Damn it!" "Karas hath once again..." "So this city still refuses to fall to its knees before me?" "Doctor Karas!" "Help Nue!" "Help Nue!" "Come on, let's go!" "Hey!" " Yoshiko!" " Yoshiko!" " Get down!" "Huh?" "What's going on?" "I don't know." "Hey, Karakasa." "What are you playing Karas for..." "Y-You can see me?" "Detective..." "Y-Yeah..." "Governor, we're in danger here too." "Please evacuate." "Relax." "This place will not come under attack." "You still don't understand?" "Eko won't let us humans live!" "He merely used us!" "Do you know how many crimes occur in this city in one year?" "300,000 cases." "Someone is killed every three days." "A rotten city shelters rotten souls." "Someone must rectify this." "I've had enough!" "I'll tell the truth to the world out there!" "Don't do anything unnecessary." "You have family too!" "They'll all be killed!" "Yeah, I did." "I did." "My wife secretly frequented a host club behind my back." "My daughter behaved like a prostitute for pocket money." "So I ended their misery." "This city is to blame for it all." "This city is a disease." "You've gone mad..." "Truly, thou art greater than the past Karas." "What have you done with Nue?" "He is happily serving me, along with his younger brother!" "Eko, if you're Karas too, why do you ignore the city's will?" "What the city's will didst was cause evil beings called humans to grow arrogant and propagate!" "But our duty is to watch over the city, even so!" "Thou dost not understand." "Watching over decay is no duty!" "I am a reformer who shall redress even this warped city's will!" "And thou, who stands in my way art the enemy of this city!" "And thus, Nue and the others supported me!" "O Nue brothers, give me strength!" "Is that..." "Human blood." "I see." "These monstrous roots are the repository for live human blood." "Within these barriers Eko's position is invincible." "That's it!" "Every Karas in the nation is watching!" "This is the perfect chance to show our strength!" "You cannot defeat him." "Then let me prove it!" "Do as you please." "As you wish." "How did I get here?" "You're..." "You stay out of this." "I'll bring down Eko!" "No matter how ye struggle, this city hath already fallen into my hands!" "Come forth, O white dragon!" "Become my new legs!" "What is this?" "I can barely even feel that." "Those roots art what became of the Nue brothers thou art so anxious for." "By the power of those brothers, this city shall be reborn!" "Mister..." "Mister..." "Mister." "Mister Karas, to defeat him, you'll have to kill my kid brother." "Obstacles must be dispensed with." "I'm your opponent!" "As is thy wish, I shall start with thee!" "Nue!" "Ain't it lame?" "Letting you see me like this." "This guy..." "This huge one's my kid brother." "Capable of controlling lightning, we Nue are always born in pairs." "The energy produced between us provides power to the Mikura..." "Nue, hang in there!" "Eko used the Mikura to try to punish the humans, who got too arrogant." "Causing their decline through fear and to once again make a world rooted in the earth." "Please escape towards Yotsuya!" "Please escape towards Yotsuya!" "There was a time we brothers also supported that vision..." "There was a time we brothers also supported that vision but to reach it, a great number of humans would die." "If humans vanished, demons would too, starting with the weak." "We brothers were so inflamed by idealism we didn't realize that simple fact." "No one wanted such a sudden change." "Even if it's slow, we have no choice but to patiently guide humans." "Mister Karas, you can't get impatient." "No matter how foolish humans are..." "Nue." "I'd be able to stop my kid brother but I don't think I can in my sorry state." "So I've got a favor to ask of you." "Kill me with that sword of yours." "Then I'll possess your sword..." "But..." "There's no other way to stop my kid brother." "C'mon, if you don't do it now Eko will be even more..." "This was the right thing to do, Doctor Karas..." "Brother..." "What?" "Otoha!" "Eko, behold." "There is no longer anyone who will side with you." "The suffering I endured as I watched this city rot for several hundred years..." "None could fathom that." "In time, thou shalt also walk the same path." "Yurine..." "Jeez." "1420, target surrounded." "Location, Yasukuni-dori in Shinjuku." "What are you doing?" "These people saved the city!" "Hey, let go!" "Those beings are not human." "Can't you guys see them?" "The city isn't just for humans!" "It's because humans think only in selfish ways that this city got messed up!" "No!" "The city became this way when demons appeared." "The demons are to blame for it all." "Don't do it!" "Deputy Governor!" "You too are among those under my protection." "The demons..." "So they're going to become invisible again..." "The water here isn't running as well as it used to either." "I hear the water and gas aren't working well across the city lately." "I wonder if it's due to those so-called ghosts too." "They're not ghosts." "They're demons." "The humans are making this city difficult to live in." "Ironic, isn't it?" "Because of this incident this city will be rebuilt to be even more convenient for humans." "Look after Yoshiko." "The bus bound for Kofu will be departing soon!" "Detective!" "You're..." "I'm working as a barker at a nearby shop." "They sell toilets that "even flush water goblins."" "Hello, Yoshiko." "Are you going on vacation?" "I decided to quit the police and go back to the countryside." "Since that moment, I haven't been able to see anything." "This city's lost something precious." "So I'm going to a place that hasn't." "Still not going home?" "The bus bound for Kofu is now departing!" "I like this city." "I think it might be pathological." "But I can't leave this place now." "So I'm going to have faith that the demons are still in this city and that the cool guy will surely show up again." "Goodbye, detective!" "Yoshiko!" "You know, I'll say this for the record but there's no way those guys are stronger than me." "But anyway, I wonder what those guys will do now." "Where there is a city, there is a Karas." "They will continue to watch over the city, as they always have." "Look, Yoshiko." "I'm sure this city will be fine." "As long as it has them..."
