Wake up.
Alexiel...
We finally found it.
You who turn the ocean the color of zinc,
the forest into yellow desert, the wind into gun smoke,
and scorch the sky.
Adam's first wife, Lilith, was the free-spirited woman...
...who became the bride of a demon.
You are about to repeat her evil deeds.
Lucifer was once the most brilliant being in the sky.
He was a vision of beauty.
You are about to repeat his rebellion.
Listen to the lamentation of the winged species in the sky.
They were sent by the Creator to announce the day of judgement.
They are neither gods nor human.
Lord forgive me.
Now that I have broken the seal with the forbidden black magic,
all I can do is adhere to him.
They are called...
...angels.
Whoa. That moon is huge.
Big brother!
Now's the chance!
Had enough, Setsuna Mudo?
No more Mr. Smart-ass?
Don't get carried away, goddamn freshman!
Kira.
That's enough, Yoji.
Screw you. I'm trying to teach him about manners.
If you butt in, I'll...
Did you hear what I just said?
I did.
The damn punks.
They don't care for the light hair or the look of yours.
This puts me in a terrible bind.
I'm caught between my personal sidekick and my gang buddies.
Hey, Setsuna?
Say something.
I wanna do the nasty.
Huh?
God, do you think I'm a beast?
You idiot!
I've told you so many times not to fight!
Sara.
Unbelievable!
Are you telling me you enjoy being a punching bag more...
...than a date with your beloved little sister?
You're a shitty brother.
Don't make me out to be a masochist.
Look, the trains are finally running again.
That was a pretty long blackout.
Kira, I hope you're not planning to stray my brother...
...into a troubled path like you did in middle school.
In fact...
What's that? You wanna see my room?
Sure, let's go.
What the...
Are you listening to me?
You listen, too, big brother.
Have you forgotten?
Even though the folks' divorce got us living apart,
we promised to meet once a month.
Today is the day.
I picked a fight so I don't have to bother with that crap.
What did you say?
- Damn you! Damn you! - Ouch. Aw.
I'm too old for this. Knock yourselves out.
Kira.
Look, I want to know why.
Why did you try to stand me up today?
Well, for siblings our age to be running around together seems...
...strange, no?
Why do you think the folks split up?
I suppose it had to do with Dad having an affair.
Still, I don't understand why Mom is so sweet to me and yet...
...She hates me?
She says I give her the creeps.
Because I'm not normal.
Big brother...
Sara.
Who the...?
Are you all right? Do you have any pain, Sara?
I'm fine. What in the world was that?
Thank goodness. Ouch.
Setsuna? Are you hurt?
I'm all right. It hurts where I got kicked in the fight.
Dummy, don't worry about me when you're hurt yourself.
I'd rather be hurt than see you hurt.
It's not what you think, silly.
If anything should happen to you, Mom would give me hell.
God, I'm sure this is old news to you by now...
There's only one person I want...
That's so typical of your devilish charm.
You're always saying the meanest things, and then,
out of the blue, you can blurt out such an endearing remark.
Well, I think you're right.
It is strange for siblings to go on dates.
I think I've got a severe case of "brother complex."
Sara and I are really saying the same thing.
But I'm gonna get over it.
I have to grow out of my idiot brother some time, right?
Say, are you really all right?
Yeah.
Well, you can take off here. Thanks for walking me home.
There's a difference, though.
You don't love me the same way I love you.
Oh, God, if you do exist, grant me a wish.
Please protect that unspoiled angel...
...from my animalistic intentions.
Look, Kurai. I doubt he's the one.
He's certainly giving off a good amount of astral light,
but I only sense a human aura about him.
There's no question. I can tell.
Setsuna Mudo... I'm coming for you.
I told you. Setsuna is tough as hell.
You should heed your friend's warnings.
Screw you, Kira. If you hadn't butted in then, I would've...
It'll be an easy win next time.
Didn't you see how he went weak in the knees after a while?
That's because she showed up.
She acts as a restraint for him.
Prevents him from killing people.
Never mind.
I said you should get your usual drug fix and cool your head.
Kira, you bastard!
You'd better back off from the kid, or...
I could get seriously mad, know what I mean, Yoji, Kato?
What a hopeless dreamer I am.
How could I even think Sara and I are not biologically related?
In the end,
this family registration made it excruciatingly clear to me...
...that we are blood siblings beyond doubt.
Do you believe in God?
There he was, loved by all,
loved even by the Creator of the cosmos himself.
Not she, however. She rejected him.
Denial, conflict, ambivalence toward awakening...
They're symptoms of unconscious escapism borne out of guilt.
Your soul shudders at its own self-blame.
Hello, my dear sister Alexiel.
Setsuna...
Setsuna.
Kira, I just saw this weird foreigner...
Weird foreigner?
Setsuna?
Well? How are you coping with your problem down there?
Listen, I can send over any of my lady friends anytime.
Setsuna, you know what?
You should quit seeing Sara.
I saw you two yesterday.
Your face betrays your feelings all too easily.
It's not what you think.
What are you talking about?
You've always tended toward messy romances for some reason.
Here, take this.
It's an amulet.
I'll kill you if you lose it.
Later.
Another one?
Oh, brother!
Can't you do something besides dodge?
I've seen you two before.
So you noticed? I'm impressed, big boy.
I'm the fourteenth child of King Gehenna of the nether world.
The name is Kurai the Dragon Master.
This here is my cousin Arachne.
In short, we're demons from hell.
Anyway, your reaction was pretty bizarre.
Alexiel would have crushed it with one finger.
Alexiel...
You're babbling nonsense.
Anyway, nice showy prank. Good luck explaining yourselves.
I'm going home. You go back to the hospital.
Hold it. You'll get hurt if you underestimate us.
We're the demons who crawl up from hell to devour human flesh.
The noble blood of the Evils runs in our veins.
I never knew there were homosexual demons.
What gave you that idea?
I'm quite perceptive when it comes to these matters.
Besides... your tits are crooked.
You must be using some cheap padding, Miss Thing.
That's none of your business!
Stop fooling around and wake up!
Why won't he fight back?
- What's going on? - What was that noise?
Kurai. People are gathering.
You caught a break today. I'll be back, Setsuna Mudo.
Once again...
He doesn't get a scratch even in major accidents.
It's creepy.
Shit! Who the hell were they?
- What a mess! - Are you all right, kid?
Alexiel...
It won't be long. Not long at all.
Rebelling against God, Alexiel led the Evil demons and invaded...
...the sacred realm of Azuilt...
...in what became known as the Cosmic War.
During the decisive battle, Alexiel exhausted all her power,
and was divided into body and spirit,
then sealed inside an angel crystal.
She was an angel who had sinned by collaborating with us demons.
All this time...
We've been looking for you for what seemed like an eternity.
It's been so long.
It was a long, long siesta, Cherub Katan.
Sir Rosiel...
The celestial sphere is in a chaotic turmoil.
Since God took his last sleep, satanic forces have been active.
Without God, Berrier, the Garden of Angels, is being ravaged by...
...constant power struggles among the angels in the upper ranks...
...and their elitist dictatorship.
Their duty is to keep peace on earth, not engage in bloody war.
This is an unspeakable outrage!
That is why my comrades and I have dared break the taboo.
By converting the electrical energy of this city...
...into celestial power, we were able to lift the seal on you.
Alongside your counterpart, Organic Angel Alexiel,
you once reigned at the top of the celestial hierarchy.
Inorganic Angel Rosiel, you alone can salvage heaven.
Please return to Azuilt.
Not just yet.
Now that I found what I've been looking for...
I can't go back yet. Not until I resurrect Alexiel's spirit.
It was a tough find.
So let's resurrect the spirit already.
There's a way to do this, right?
Hell, how should I know?
You mean, we have to keep pressuring that guy...
...'til the spirit decides to wake up?
That could take forever.
She means a lot to me. Alexiel does.
Stop it. Don't touch me.
Stop it.
No!
How pitiful. Is this what angels have become?
Their spirituality is weakened by lust and violence.
The wicked have more integrity in their lack of pretense.
Can you stand up, little demon?
Use your frustration and toughen up.
The weak will only end up dead.
I am Organic Angel Alexiel.
I hereby declare a revolt against God!
Again with Alexiel...
Shit! That damn brat's invading my dream!
SETSUNA MUDO - COME TO THE ABANDONED FACTORY
Sara.
It's my fault.
Sara's in trouble because of me.
I don't want to cause her any pain.
What's the big rush?
Did your old memory come back yet?
I have no time to waste on you.
Don't ever let me see your mugs again.
What's eating him?
This could be our chance.
A new drug, huh?
In a capsule form, no less. Very unusual.
Try it.
I've never seen you selling here before.
Your buddy Yoji bought the stuff from me, too.
Oh, well.
Have a nice dream.
Big brother.
Hey, thanks for coming.
I knew you punks are behind it.
I commend you, Setsuna, on your stupidity!
Big brother.
Shit. I feel my power draining.
I guess they found out that his weakness is Sara.
Let her go.
I'm not bluffing.
I warn you, I'm in a hell of a bad mood today.
And I mean now.
You think you've turned the table, Alexiel?
That's a golem. What is it doing here?
Hold on, Kurai.
This is a golden opportunity for awakening. Let's wait and see.
What is this thing? Let me go, damn it.
What are you staring at?
Let me go.
Aw. Stop it.
Let me go!
Setsuna.
Why? Why doesn't he unleash the power?
He'll die if he doesn't do something.
Kurai, look.
But he's...!
I can't move.
This mysterious and icy energy in the air...
It's extraordinary.
You look awful.
Who are you?
I am Rosiel. I once was the most luminous angel in heaven.
Blessed by the grace of God, I stood at the apex of glory...
...until I was sealed on this earth by spell.
You can't tell me you've forgotten.
That's an act of unconscious escapism borne out of guilt.
Remember, Alexiel, you tried to kill me, your own twin brother.
Why do you refuse to wake up?
What binds you to your present form of existence...
...that is worth that much misery?
Run...
Sara.
I see.
Your love for her is what compels you to stay as Setsuna.
Then, all I have to do is kill this girl.
I'll peel you like an apple and make you unfit to be looked at.
Don't do it, Rosiel.
What is this?
This power is of neither darkness nor light.
Holy Hermit Adam-Kadamon?
My power is being wiped out.
Is this the legendary cosmic magic?
Go away. You're an afterimage.
Why do you show up after all this time?
Sir Rosiel.
Over here.
Stay out of my way, Katan.
So warm...
This feels all so familiar somehow.
Where are you going? I've been wanting to see you.
Don't go.
My arm...
Tears?
Sara.
Thank goodness.
You understand now?
You!
I've never seen that type of light before either.
But now you can clearly see that you're no ordinary human being.
You are the reincarnation of Angel Alexiel after all.
Enough already. I'm sick of you all.
I don't give a damn about angels and reincarnations.
I've got more important things to do right now.
Why don't you go back to your own country?
Who knows, more important things could be waiting for you there.
My country no longer exists.
It was destroyed by you humans and angels.
The Kingdom of Gehenna and your domain, Usher,
are two sides of the same coin.
As the human race polluted the sky and impoverished the land,
Gehenna, in turn, also deteriorated.
That is when, in an attempt to end the long-term conflict...
...with the Evils, angels violated the cease-fire pact,
invaded our nation and wiped out all my people...
...including the females, the young and the invalids.
Alexiel, you took me in.
You promised revenge.
You talked about creating an ideal world without God...
You don't give a damn, you say?
If you were going to abandon me this way,
why didn't you leave me to die in the sea of blood?
You showed me a ray of hope and now you're...
This is terrible.
How could you do this to me, Alexiel?
You're talking to an ordinary high school student.
And a hopeless moron at that who can't even protect a woman.
You speak of "ideals" and "hope"
but this puny brain of mine can't comprehend those ideas.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do for you now.
Kurai.
What do you expect? I can't think of anybody else but her.
I knew full well that I'm not normal.
But you've accepted me for who I am like nothing.
Sara, you were the last person I wanted to hurt.
So I hoped.
I don't want to hurt you.
Mother.
You stupid bastard!
I knew about your feelings for her, but it's not to be.
You're her biological brother.
I've hardened my heart against you for what?
I separated you two for your own good.
Enough, you old hag.
Do you want to send her to hell?
I know all that.
Can't you see what your doing will only make her unhappy?
I know.
Stop it!
Sara.
Please stop. It's alright.
She heard it...
...my secret that no one must know.
You see, I love him, too.
For a long, long time, I've always loved him the most.
Wrong.
No, Sara. Yours is not love.
You don't love me the same way I love you.
You'll find a nice man. Setsuna is only...
Wrong.
...making sport of you.
Please, that's enough, Mom.
Wrong.
She's exactly right.
That's it. I should say the opposite of what I think.
I was pent up, y'know.
So I figured, "let me make do with my sister."
Be perfectly arrogant...
But I got caught.
I mean, why else would I bother...
...with an underdeveloped kid like you?
Destroy.
It's a lie.
Just because I gave you a measly peck while you were asleep,
you think I love you?
See? It's so easy.
Don't be presumptuous.
Mercilessly shattered.
Man, I hate stupid chicks.
Broken into pieces.
Sara.
I won't see Sara again.
That would be best for her.
Search as she may to the end of the world,
wait as she may for centuries,
she'll never meet another man who'll love her more than I do.
He doesn't exist!
Why did you get in my way?
But sir, the girl called Sara has nothing to do with Alexiel.
So what?
You're not to interfere with my business, Katan.
I'm determined to be the one to awaken Alexiel.
I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?
I'm truly sorry.
I'm really grateful for your delivering me,
for your willingness to even commit a crime in doing so.
But look, I've been betrayed by my own twin sister, and had to...
...spend centuries, confined in the bitter cold of the soil.
Try to understand my humiliation ...please?
Yes, sir.
Tell me, Katan, am I beautiful?
As beautiful as I was when I reigned over Azuilt?
Yes, you haven't changed at all since those days.
That's right. Everyone tells me so.
My dear sister, you're the only exception.
If you still refuse to love me when you awake,
then I'll have to kill you with my own hands.
Sir Rosiel is our last hope for the salvation of heaven.
But his heart is fixated on Alexiel,
and he will not return to Azuilt.
What am I to do?
Tracing your wound with my lips,
I'm plunged by a piece of a broken dream.
The knife of romance concealed deep within
is pressed against my half-formed skin.
The night is without consolation.
I want you to rip it apart with your kiss.
You are the last romanticist left.
Slice it up.
To the bottom of my heart... darling.
I want my heart broken each time I fall in love
To discover the afterimage of angels.
You are a romanticist lost in the streets.
Burn it all down with your frigid heart, darling.
I want to feel with each kiss you can give me,
Feel the tears of angels falling like rain.
What remains of the Evil race, the deranged angel, Rosiel,
not to mention an Adam-Kadamon.
Setsuna's attracted a hell of a crew, that troublemaker.
Wake up, Setsuna.
The people, the whole world, is waiting for your awakening.
Humans, angels, or demons...
Who gets exterminated is up to you.
