What did you say? Is that true, Prophet Dragon Jade?
Indeed, Dragon Master. My blind eyes have seen the future.
Alexiel will resurrect.
However, her resurrection will leave the material world, Usher,
badly scarred as a result.
It will bring about an unprecedented catastrophe.
Also not to be forgotten is the fact...
...that Alexiel's awakening signifies Setsuna's death.
Death? Setsuna will die?
I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do for you now.
I don't give a damn what happens to that guy.
As long as I can be with Alexiel, I'll be happy.
It's just one little human anyway.
One last thing...
The blood contractor has already moved in close to Alexiel.
Blood contractor?
I already knew. At that moment...
I wanted him to kiss me at that very moment.
I hate stupid chicks.
Sara, I have something important to tell you.
This place is an immaculate Eden for the chosen maidens.
I can't stay here anymore.
The heaven's door has closed.
She leaves for England the day after tomorrow.
God is outraged.
The church bells scream madly in the distance,
as if to tell me, "Heathens be gone."
Blessed white angels come to pinch and peck at me.
Angels are nipping at me.
Do you have any pain, Sara?
Big brother.
My heart aches so much I could die.
- Hey, look. - Whoa. She's cute.
What's the big idea?
I've got nothing to say to you. Get back to school right away.
I don't have to go to school anymore. I quit this morning.
You quit?
I'm scheduled to leave ...for England.
I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Sudden, isn't it?
It was a surprise for me, too.
To Mother's parents' in London?
Right.
That's why I'm here, since I won't be seeing you.
So long.
I can never see her again.
This is how it should be.
Boy, humans are incredibly dumb.
Yes sir! They're such hopelessly twisted creatures.
Just like us.
What are you going to do?
Hello?
Leave him alone.
No matter what he thinks, the decision is up to...
Please, I implore you.
I understand how you feel. But heaven needs you now.
Don't be hasty.
There's something I must accomplish no matter what.
Sir Rosiel... It's dangerous to pursue Alexiel any further.
Quiet.
Do you think I'll fall for the same trick twice...
...by the likes of Alexiel no less?
Stay out of my way from now on.
This is how it should be.
Nothing will be different.
When I wake up, I'll be alone.
Back to the same old routine.
Except that she'll be gone.
That I'll never see her again.
See? Nothing's changed.
SETSUNA THE BEAST - FORBIDDEN LOVE BETWEEN BROTHER AND SISTER
Who did this?
So much for the cute looks. They often turn out the sickest.
Maybe I ought to bring her here and expose the truth.
Let's have her show how to consummate a "forbidden love."
That bastard.
It was you?
What are you talking about?
You piece of shit!
- Look, Mudo's down. - I don't believe it.
That senior's amazing.
What the...?
I'll be damned. It's his real sister.
...FORBIDDEN LOVE... ...YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD... It's grotesque.
...FORBIDDEN LOVE... ...YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD... My son's not normal.
...WITH HIS OWN SISTER... ...FORBIDDEN LOVE... BEAST... He's a beast.
Are you so intent on sending Sara to hell?
Stop it.
YOU'LL BE JUDGED BY GOD
The reality keeps punching me over and over.
I get the point. Isn't it enough already? Enough.
What's this?
I saw the flyer this morning.
Don't look.
Isn't he the freshman in question?
- It's sick. - Disgusting.
Don't look... Don't look!
Chill out. You're making a spectacle.
Chill out? I'm making a spectacle?
That's right. I am a spectacle.
Everything you see on these pages is all true.
I've had an earnest desire to make love to my real sister.
I am weird. I am abnormal.
I am condemned by my mother, by all of them.
The whole world is telling me: "Setsuna Mudo is a nut case."
"He's on a fast track to hell."
Well, yeah.
All of those people are right.
There's no doubt you're the one in the wrong.
Keep in mind, though, Setsuna...
none of your persecutors has ever been in your shoes.
These people are all observing from the gallery,
smugly dispensing the smart but unoriginal moralist cliché.
You really love Sara, don't you?
Then you can't help it.
You're the one who got hurt, the one who does the suffering.
It's not something anybody else can understand.
I know about your clumsy but straight forward way of loving.
So what if your love happens to be a wrong sort, Setsuna?
Kira.
I... I...
You're Setsuna Mudo, and nobody else.
Damn you. Trying to get in my way once again?
Do you have any pain, Sara?
Here.
I'll give up the gold fish, so stop crying.
Okay.
Going somewhere?
Who are you?
Both you and Setsuna are real dopes.
You know my brother?
Is morality that important?
To be tied down by someone else's boundaries...
To suppress your feelings...
I think that's outright cowardice.
Oh, well. It doesn't matter. I'm not you.
Is he an angel?
The reincarnation of an angel? Me?
It's absurd.
I can't even deal with my own situation.
I'm on all fours, writhing in agony.
Some miserable angel I am.
You are who you are.
Still...
No matter how pathetic and awkward I may be,
if there's one person who accepts me for who I am,
that's enough reason for me to go on.
What was I thinking? Why did I do that?
Kira!
It's him.
You've been protecting him all these years.
Did you get rid of that guardian angel hanging around him?
In that case, I must say your way of loving is righteous.
You're exactly like me.
Well, you must have ingested another exotic substance, Kato.
I gave you a stern warning about buying from strange characters.
This blood stain brings back so many memories.
It's the blood I shed on you a long time ago.
To this blood you owe your...
Too bad the effect is almost gone already.
Say, why don't you try joining my force this time?
If you do, I'll spare you some more of my blood. Then...
I don't have it anymore.
Kira?
That's absurd.
You've given your most crucial protection away to a mere human?
Tough luck.
I see. Very well. In that case...
I'll have to kill you and take it away from him.
Kira.
Setsuna.
Kira.
Setsuna.
This vibe...
It's the sacred sword.
The seven-bladed sword of the Holy Spirit.
Alexiel, my sister.
I'm sure I've told you this before.
As long as you desire me, the mirror image of yourself,
there's no salvation for you.
That is, you can never defeat me in all eternity.
Oh, I wonder. I'd like to give it a try.
Now your new body has been desecrated by blood as well.
You'll be driven away not only from heaven but also from earth.
May you despair of living with your whole heart!
Setsuna.
Those wings!
I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die.
He won't make it.
Setsuna.
I just opened the eastern path to Hades.
Look, you see that light?
Yes... I see it. I see the light.
There are those who have guided you since birth, waiting.
No need to hesitate.
No need to believe in God or Satan.
Only believe in that light and yourself, and go.
I feel warm. So wonderfully warm.
He purged a golem-possessed human being.
There's no question. No one else can pull that off.
It's Alexiel.
Little demon, I'm sorry.
I should have killed Rosiel when I had the chance.
How could you say that? That time...
That time, I actually...
Alexiel?
Shit.
Is that you, Setsuna?
That was Alexiel just now?
That scary broad is inside me?
So you finally decided to face it?
I'm an angel... How can it be?
Kirai. Where is he?
He wants you. Why don't you come out?
Kirai... How come you're not hurt?
This is Rosiel's blood.
When Alexiel injured Rosiel during the Cosmic War,
a gush of his blood shot back at me.
The power of this blood made me immortal.
So you're not human either?
You've been deceiving me all along?
So what you're after is not me, but Alexiel inside of me.
That's right. What else is there?
It's impossible for me to have any feelings toward mere humans.
Everything was a lie then?
All the memories, all the consolations...
...what you said before, and everything else...
You did it because I'm Alexiel?
I... am not an angel!
Setsuna.
Seems like he's discovered his "power."
It'll be a disaster if we can't get him to control it.
Shouldn't you be running after him? You hurt him.
Oh, well. I only told him the truth.
I see.
Then why do you look like you're about to burst into tears?
It was that kid, not Alexiel, who gave you a heart.
That's why you're afraid to admit it.
Am I wrong?
I've killed thousands and thousands of innocent people...
...in cold blood.
And you think such a creature can feel emotion like a human?
Then why don't you kill me now?
You see, dummy? That's your emotion talking.
Setsuna.
Don't follow me.
Oh, come on.
I can understand the pain you're in. I've been through it myself.
What is that, pity? Screw you. You only care about Alexiel.
You couldn't care less if I dropped dead.
Setsuna... I...
I just...
Look out!
Kurai...
You idiot! Wanna die?
Setsuna... did you...? The astral power?
Damn you! How do you expect to take revenge,
when you can't even protect yourself?
A woman acquires beauty and grace...
...when she learns to let someone protect her.
Stop acting like a man.
Of course, I can't protect her ever again.
Sara.
Setsuna.
He knew I'm a female.
Sara.
What is this feeling I have?
You're afraid to admit it.
You...
The victim is a male high school student from the area,
apparently killed with a large Japanese-style sword.
Kato? Yeah, he's my buddy, but I can't think of anyone who'd...
You know, it could be...
Setsuna Mudo.
Once I accepted it, it's no big deal.
There's no one who needs me, not my parents, not my buddies.
Still, life goes on in the city.
Even though I've lost everything.
Sara.
It's you.
You're really going, huh?
Sara, please hurry.
Okay.
I think you're right about what you said.
I'm just a coward. Here I am, running away.
Here... Will you take it?
This is the first gift from my brother.
He bought me a toy ring when I was little.
Throw it away somewhere. I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Good-bye.
Sara.
How could I possibly take something like this?
Now I've got nobody.
I've got nothing.
Nothing at all.
Are you Setsuna Mudo?
Do you know a boy named Kato?
I heard you were involved in a bit of an incident.
I'd like you to come with us.
Setsuna.
Kurai.
Get over to the airport quick. Sara will be gone.
- Who are you? - Get down here.
What a dummy, that girl.
She kept that cheap piece of shit in a case like a trove.
Big brother, I love you the most.
If you don't go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Your folks have a prospective fianc waiting for her there.
What are you dawdling for?
That's not like the Setsuna I know.
Thank you.
Anyway...
Wait.
I had a hunch about this...
To the airport. Hurry.
...about why Alexiel wouldn't wake up.
Alexiel wanted to keep being human.
So unbelievably dumb.
I've never seen such a dope.
True. What a helpless dope.
That's why I can't leave you alone, Kurai.
TOKYO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
The passengers for the British Air Service flight 501,
please proceed through Gate 80.
Sara.
We should be going now.
Sara.
Setsuna, why in the world are you here?
No. If I turn now, I'll...
This is it.
There he is.
For God's sake, don't be a pain.
Officers, is he in trouble again?
No, just a routine questioning.
I see. Well, then, we should be on our way.
Wait.
This is it. What I'm about to say is my true confession.
Sara, I love you.
I've always loved you.
I know I can't make you happy.
But you're the only one I can ever love.
Big brother.
Sara, do you have any pain?
Big brother.
Mine and mine alone.
Sara, let's run away together.
But...
Mother.
Sara, I know. That's it. You're doing the right thing.
Come, let's go.
Satisfied now?
Mother.
I'm sorry.
Big brother, don't go.
Turn around like you always do.
Give me a smile. Hold me tight.
I don't need God's blessing. I don't need a white bouquet.
All I need is you.
Let's go, Sara.
You mustn't, Sara.
Wait.
I can't have a sidekick who gets caught by these morons.
Bad for my reputation, y'know?
Kira.
Go already.
Wait.
I killed Kato.
Kira, thank you.
Oh? What the...?
I don't care what you are anymore.
It's very becoming, big brother.
No more big brother from now on. Call me Setsuna.
Okay, Setsuna.
We'll go as far as we can, you and me...
To a God-forsaken land, where nobody knows us,
where nobody watches us.
We'll bust through the barbed wire,
and get to our private kingdom as far as can be to heaven.
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.
Sir Rosiel.
What is this?
Bad boy, you have to swallow it.
You want to help me like the others, don't you?
But why this way?
I believe in two things: the love for me and the fear of me.
I have no use for men who can't obey me.
If things keep on this way, Alexiel will eventually awaken...
...only to terrorize Sir Rosiel again...
I still have a chance now.
I'll kill him. I will kill Setsuna Mudo.
