My name is Banryuu Reoko.
I was born a qualified heart user,
having inherited Entei's heart from my mother.
In the spring of my sixteenth year,
I was told I only had three years left to live.
So I wanted to leave behind proof that I had lived.
Oh, by the way, Reoko...
I have a boyfriend now. I'll introduce you sometime.
Eh? Huh?
What?!
Y-You have a boyfriend, Migiwa?
Yeah.
I can't believe you, of all people, got one before me!
Before me, Reoko-sama!
Here! I finally found it!
A text hinting at Entei's deep, ancient connection with the concept of immortality!
Reoko, look at this!
Sure.
Migiwa...
You once incinerated my hands and feet.
Now it's your turn to be burned alive!
Kazuki Manor (Now Banryuu Manor)
Migiwa-sama!
Banryuu Reoko and her followers have started a revolt in Ueno.
Kazuki Migiwa Age 16
They've called forth Entei!
They called a Buranki in front of civilians?
Has Banryuu gone mad?
Genma-san, Yoshiki-san... I'll go in Oubu.
Right on!
Sever your contracts with your Bubuki and give them to me.
Lady, no matter what the circumstances, you ask too much!
I will stop Reoko myself.
I'll say it one more time, everyone.
Banryuu Reoko Age 16
There's no need for you to stay with me anymore.
What are you talking about? That's cold.
As unlikely allies, we'll all share one fate.
That's right, Reoko.
We will bring Buranki out into the light of day
and make known the history that the adults have kept hidden.
We will change the world!
Yeah!
Migiwa...
What in the world happened?!
What's wrong, Reoko?!
I can feel Entei's pain...
Reoko-sama!
What the hell is that power?
I thought she made Momoka-neesan and the others sever their contracts
so she could control Oubu by herself!
This was the only way to save you...
I'm sorry, Reoko.
If I crush Entei's heart, Reoko's body should...
Reoko, you and I are as one.
I won't let you die!
Entei...
Take care of Reoko.
Eight Years Later
Banryuu Reoko Age 24
Banryuu Reoko's body stopped maturing eight years ago
You look well.
Migiwa, you knew about Entei's special ability, didn't you?
That's why you crushed Entei's heart,
which made me its replacement.
It was Entei's power that kept me alive.
But is this really me?
Every day, I see this monster that never ages looking back at me.
I'm going up to the Buranki nest.
Huh?
I've decided to go up there while Oubu still listens to me.
I'll leave things here on Earth to you.
After you kept me locked in here for eight years?!
I did it to protect you from the world.
Please understand.
Migiwa!
I'll never forgive you!
Don't you run away, Migiwa.
Migiwa...
Kazuki
Reoko-sama?
You are Reoko-sama, right?
Please, guys... Don't laugh at the way I look...
Thank goodness you're well!
I'm so glad!
I was so worried you were being tortured or something!
Little Sou will be thrilled, too!
Shuusaku was so worried about you, his hair turned white.
Shut up! That's none of your business!
Reoko, you look that way because of Entei's power, right?
Yeah.
You get to stay young forever!
I'm so freaking jealous of you!
One of these days, I'll get eternal youth for myself, too!
Thanks,
you guys.
The light that raced across all the world's skies
stopped the hearts of all Buranki on Earth.
Without Buranki, the world fell into chaos and ruin.
And I, as a human being, changed.
The mechanized regiments and tank regiments
Banryuu Reoko Age 30
have begun deployment via the western and southern sea routes.
Reoko-sama?
Hunting down and killing Bubuki users...
How can they do this to other humans?
There's no need to kill even children, just because they can use Bubuki!
It's probably because they're children.
They kill them before they can properly use their Rinzu.
I'll never accept such a mad world.
Zetsubi-san, please return to Banryuu Manor and tell Reoko-sama about this.
There's something I must do.
The forces have divided communications between local settlements and the outside.
They seem to be isolating and surrounding them, then annihilating them.
Damn it.
And Genma's just going to stay silent while all this is going on?
Where the hell is he, anyway?
Asabuki Genma remains missing, along with the Raijoudou
he stole from the fallen Oubu.
That spineless trash...
Migiwa, surely you knew this would happen once you stopped
the hearts of all Buranki on Earth.
Deprived of Buranki, humans have been impelled by their fear
to kill their own kind again.
The world is full of small-minded fools.
Prepare the coffins.
Be wary of enemies, but move quickly.
Watch our rear, as well.
Battle formation!
Akihito...
Reoko-sama, I... I...
You truly look like a man-eating beast right now.
Perfect for joining in our funeral procession.
Many pardons. I didn't expect so much snow—
Wh-What is this?!
Japan's 107th Prime Minister...
You gave the order to hunt down and kill Bubuki users, correct?
Banryuu Reoko!
I-It was a Cabinet decision!
That makes it all the more your responsibility,
as the leader of this country!
Are you going to kill me?
A man like you, who would even kill babies to ensure his own survival,
does not deserve to live!
Sir, an urgent message has been received at your home...
Sir?
Secretary Ichitou Kotetsu
Ichitou Kotetsu, is it?
Y-Yes...
I'll make you the head of this country.
You're going to spend the rest of your life as my puppet.
That bastard Guy threw the Demokratia forces into this right at the critical moment.
The island's barrier won't hold out at this rate.
Worse than that.
Its orbit will drop, and it'll crash to Earth.
So the map of the world will literally be redrawn.
Countless people are going to die.
Episode 12 The Boy from Treasure Island
You monster, who conceived a child and handed down your Bubuki,
but still didn't lose your power...
Die along with the Buranki that
forsook humans to try to protect this island, Migiwa!
Let my mom go, Reoko!
Oubu...
Stay out of my way!
I can't stand those eyes of yours, which look down on everyone else!
Mom!
Giant
Tactical nuclear warfare?!
Assuming their aim is to destroy and bring down the Buranki nest,
that would be the logical conclusion.
Neither our Bubuki nor or bodies can withstand this.
That doesn't mean we can just watch!
Migiwa, you are the one person I'll never forgive!
You monster!
Entei, please continue to take care of Reoko.
Migiwa?!
Mom!
Hey, Azuma!
What are you doing?!
A-chan, what's wrong? We have to hurry!
I'll do something about Treasure Island.
Huh?
B-But...
I heard Mom's voice.
I know she's all right.
Azuma...
A-chan...
Even that monster could never survive a fall from this height.
I'll send you to your mother's side, as well, witch's son!
Weren't you going to protect your country?
What?
If this island falls,
won't everything you were trying to protect disappear for good,
Reoko?!
Damn you!
Is Oubu gonna fall apart if we can't hang in there?
All right, Himekiri, Hoemaru!
Tsurarai!
Iwatooshi!
Let's do it, Righty-chan!
Thanks, guys.
Migiwa...
That woman abandoned our world and fled to the Buranki nest!
After putting a curse on me!
No matter how many times I'm reborn, I'll never forget what she did to me!
You're wrong!
My mom came to Treasure Island to ensure no more Buranki would fall to Earth!
To protect the world!
Well, that's a simple matter!
All one has to do is kill all the Buranki!
That's not right... You're wrong!
My mom was trying to protect both Buranki and human life!
Life?! Did you say "life," boy?!
Don't use the word "life" so lightly!
When humans and Buranki kill one another,
only one or the other can survive!
My cursed body that never ages and perpetually comes back from the dead
exists for the purpose of killing every last Buranki!
No life can exist for the sake of ending life.
Life exists to protect life!
After I've hunted down and killed all Buranki,
I'll destroy Entei and end my own life.
You can't do that.
That would be way too sad.
Boy, that's the one thing I never want you saying about me!
Now, just as we planned, the Buranki nest will fall to Earth.
It's a fitting end for such ugly, filthy beings as the Buranki.
You should watch this closely,
Kaoruko.
Damn... Never mind saving Reoko-sama, at this rate I'll—
Y-You're...
Ryuuki?!
What is the user of the Buranki Patrov's heart doing here?!
I've achieved my goal.
I get it...
You're here to take me out at Guy's orders, right?!
Yeah, of course not...
Lyudmila! Gianna!
Good grief. So that's it.
Sensei!
No!
Nothing
I swear... Akihito-kun, you're always overdoing it.
Your Bubuki won't last long if you keep doing that.
Well, I guess I'm in no position to talk...
It's actually overwhelming Reoko's Entei...
Azuma, Kogane, Kinoa, Shizuru, Hiiragi...
You kids really managed to come straight to this point.
It's brilliant... Dazzlingly brilliant.
I'm going to use all the strength I have to live this moment, too.
The limbs won't hold out!
I don't know where the Buranki came from, or when,
but they've always lived alongside humans
in the form of Bubuki.
There's no difference between their lives and human lives.
Then why did you stop the hearts of the Buranki on Earth?
If humans had continued to wrongly manipulate the Buranki
to serve their own purposes,
something much worse would have happened.
Like what you experienced...
Mom...
I'm just fine.
So, Azuma...
Please save Reoko.
She's my precious friend.
Even without hands and feet—
Damn you!
I won't let you knock Treasure Island down to Earth!
And I'm going to save you, too!
Let go of me, son of Migiwa!
I'm not letting go of you, no matter what!
It's always geniuses who change the world,
but ordinary people can't understand the way geniuses think.
And Treasure Island, a place above the clouds that a genius tried to protect,
sank into the sea, and this incident was settled once and for all.
Ta-da!
And this is where our...
No, "my," Kazuki Kaoruko's, story begins!
I'm so excited! My heart is pounding!
I can't wait, but I must!
All good things to those who wait!
So I have to wait!
