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
All righty
Kamaitachi has been defeated
I guess even a great Karas is only human without you.
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
If you need me
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
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
Once he returns
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
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
Karas is born to Yurine
...in a covenant between her and humans.
When a human soul comes to dwell in her sacred treasure.
Normally
But right now
Eko's Yurine grew weak
He's trying to gain power over this city's humans and demons.
In an attempt to stop him
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
I won't let him commit murder.
And the abducted Yurine?
That
If something happens...
...you'll probably never become Karas again.
From here on
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
First
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
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 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
Oh
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
Also being struck with luck?
You're really going
I thought I'd handle the Mikura one by one...
...but it doesn't look like I've got the time.
Oh
Becoming Mikura had just one good perk.
We can be captured on machines called cameras.
Bro
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!
Why you!
Are you some kind of monster?
Bro
Pull it together.
We're going to run away together
Bro...
One Week Ago
Hey!
Hey
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
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
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
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
Pulse: 120. BP: 70/50.
Can you hear? It's a hospital. Understand?
Can you hear? It's a hospital.
Are you in pain?
I ain't in pain.
Bro
Yeah.
- 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
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
...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
But you know
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
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
If I go face him
I've been waiting
Shooting so suddenly... We're not strangers.
After all that's happened
...to say to you!
I see thou art awake
At long last
I grew weary waiting for thee
I've been waiting for this moment too.
Got you!
Got you
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
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
Call and awaken thy younger brother!
