You are...
the Chameleon.
Unexpected, huh?
Where are we going?
No! I don't want to die!
...Yuuki Tenmei...
There's nothing you can change, Wildcat.
...Bushido...
If you're mad, be mad at Yuuki.
They've been killed. - I don't want to!
A Marufuku gold coin?
??Let's turn toward the sky...
Get up.
??and walk...
Get up.
We still can't watch the security camera footage?
I've managed to restore the sound but not yet the video.
Nothing over the headset either. Why, all of a sudden?
What has happened? - Cops are here. Let's get out.
Something has happened to the Wildcat and Katsumura-san.
I have to go. I have to go and help them!
Mao! - Let me go! You heard it!
Someone's been shot! We can't just leave them...
You'll just get in their way.
The Wildcat will escape on his own.
What we need to do now...
is get out of here. Okay?
Follow them!
Kirishima-san!
Is the Wildcat in that car? - No. The two with the Wildcat masks...
entered the mansion by the back door and haven't come out.
Two...
You two, come with me. - Yes, ma'am.
Yes. - What happened?
A minivan we believe to contain the Wildcat's comrades has fled the scene.
The Wildcat still seems to bea in Yuuki's house.
I'm going in now.
Gotcha. I'll leave it to you.
What do you guys want?
Answer me!!
Don't I have the right to remain silent?
You bastard...
The Wild...cat.
Reality bulletproof vest.
Don't worry. It's fake blood.
No, your side has really been hit.
Don't go...
Don't go... to the hospital.
What are you saying? You look like you're about to die.
The person who shot me...
is... Katsumura.
What?
If you want to find out why...
get me out of here.
I can't do that kind of thing!
So in the end, you couldn't find the Wildcat?
Yeah...
Where are your friends? Where is the Widlcat?
The Wildcat has disappeared too?
Don't play dumb!
I don't know anything.
I know you are part of his gang.
You got proof? Huh?
If you think the Wildcat and I are connected...
let's hear some firm evidence!
You think that phone call yesterday is enough?
You're restraining me without authorization so I'll say no more.
If you get it, bring me katsudon at once.
Bastard...
Won't you eat something?
Why aren't they coming back? Why aren't they getting in touch?
They will definitely come back.
Katsumura.
Katsumura? What happened?
I'm sorry I got in touch so late.
Actually...
The Wildcat has been shot. - By whom?
I ran away without knowing what I was doing...
so I didn't...
I'm in a hotel close by now. - Is the Wildcat okay?
I guess... but there was an awful lot of blood.
Got it. I'll come see you now.
Not now. There are lots of cops about.
I'm okay. If anything else happens I'll let you know.
Later.
Is the Wildcat dead?
He was wearing a bulletproof vest.
But I got him in the side. I think he'll bleed out.
Bring him down for sure.
Don't worry, I'll do just that.
Also, what should I do about his friends?
Get rid of them.
Roger that.
Sakura-chan. If you want to know more about the man...
who is sleeping near you, please read this.
Senpai...
The Mysterious Thief 'The Wildcat' who excites the popular imagination.
To approach the truth, we have to go back 20 years.
At that time, the Western countries had made a plan.
A plan to train Japanese spies.
Taking advantage of the idea...
that Japan was not very interested in the rest of the world...
they tried to train them as spies for their own countries.
For that they requested Yuuki Tenmei's co-operation...
and secretly targeted children with no relatives for ability tests.
As a result they identified 20 children of exceptional talent...
and one of them was the Wildcat, then 8 years old.
To undergo spy training...
they were put on a ship as stowaways.
What's up?
Have we been sold to this guy?
Yuuki-sensei!
Don't worry. It's good to be high-spirited.
Yuuki...
That's Yuuki Tenmei.
"Bushido."
When you understand this book, we'll meet again. Let's go.
From today, you are going to stay here. Some of you...
Ready go!
Ready, go!
Get up! Try it harder!
Ready, go!
What's wrong?
I miss my sister.
Do you think I'll get out of here one day to live with my sister?
I wonder if that's possible...
I have a hunch that no matter where we go, we'll never be free.
There are fewer and fewer of us. There's only half left now.
Do you know where the ones who dropped out have gone?
They've been killed.
I will wait for you at the Auld King's Bar in England on the same date as the ship set sail after 15 years.
No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!
No! Help me!
I don't want to die.
They got out of that room...
after 5 years.
Bushido...
He's wet? Night sweats?
Has he wet the bed?
What? Hang on a moment, no way!
Stop it! What do I do??
After leaving the facility, the Wildcat underwent another 5 years of combat training.
Finally he was accepted as a spy.
At the very end, only three were left.
The Wildcat carried out all missions perfectly...
and earned the trust to be sent on overseas missions.
And after another five years had passed...
He was reunited with 'S', who was part of Yuuki's entourage.
Yo!
Remember the person you tried to stab when you were a brat?
Yuuki Tenmei, I guess.
Do you know why...
Yuuki cooperated with the Japanese spy training program?
You know, don't you?
To gain the trust of foreign governments and get at their information.
You're a double agent.
Keep working as a spy for those governments like you've done so far.
But let that information come to me.
That's not funny.
If you want to sell us, better say so right away.
Don't get me wrong.
It's for the sake of our country.
Right now, Japan is being targeted from all over the world.
If things stay like this, our country will be taken away from us.
I want to avoid that at all costs.
You know...
I love Japan.
I don't want people of Japan to become unhappy.
If you have the Japanese spirit...
won't you support Japan?
From then on, the Wildcat leaked the information...
he gained on his missions to Japan.
But after two years of that...
When he was 25 years old...
The West is after the hidden fortune of the former Japanese army.
The Philippine government apparently got hold of important information.
I'm about to fly out there and look into it.
Actually, it seems that Yuuki Tenmei has already found that fortune...
and carried it off secretly to Japan. - What is that supposed to mean?
I don't know details either.
But he gave orders to conceal that the fortune is in Japan now.
What am I supposed to do?
Spread false information.
Steal the data from the Philippine government...
and instead put this gold coin and falsified information into the safe.
If you don't want to do it, you don't have to.
What is it? You're normally more arrogant.
Okay, I'll do it.
This is for Japan, yes?
What is it? - It's nothing.
Hey! Don't move!
I guess the Wildcat didn't understand what had happened.
Actually, people had become suspicious that he might be a double agent.
Knowing this, Yuuki Tenmei cut him loose.
Betrayed by Yuuki, the Wildcat was supposed to be executed in the Philippines.
He narrowly escaped death...
and came back to Japan to avenge himself on Yuuki...
who had betrayed him.
So you really survived.
You dared to betray me...
Where's Yuuki?
Yuuki Tenmei is dead. That is all I know.
Stop bullshitting me.
What do you want? To take revenge on Yuuki?
That will change nothing!
Let's take it back together...
Let's steal this country from Yuuki.
People with true Japanese values have disappeared from this country.
We have become weak and insipid.
And that's without doubt Yuuki's fault.
While this guy is around, Japan will become a hangout for the world's riffraff...
and fall steadily into ruin.
Before that happens, let's take it back with our own hands.
That 'S' is you, right?
Give me a break, I'm a detective!
I'm not likely to help some spy.
But you were in Public Security for a very long time.
You are trying to compromise me on the basis of such a manuscript?
That's not it. I just want to know...
what kind of person the Wildcat is.
For the last two years...
I have chased him because I thought he'd killed my father.
But when that turned out to be wrong...
and I dropped the filter through which I'd looked at him before...
I no longer understood...
why the Wildcat works as a thief.
It'll be for the money. - Can that really be true?
If he's doing it, like this manuscript says...
to oust Yuuki Tenmei who created the deplorable state of today's Japan...
Do you really think that today's Japan is deplorable?
I guess you know where the Wildcat is?
I told you. I can see through your lies.
Inui-san.
Have you ever considered what you should do...
for the sake of this country?
I had never thought about such a thing.
Me neither.
But...
no matter how much the Wildcat thinks about Japan while he works as a thief...
a crime is a crime.
That's the long and the short of it.
There's only one thing we can do for him.
To catch him as soon as possible.
He burdens himself with everything...
so being caught would be a way for him to let go.
That's true.
Sorry for being like this somehow. I have to go.
Don't go.
Is there anything you want to tell Mao-chan and Rikako-san?
Guess not.
How boring.
Katsumura!
I thought it was better to talk directly.
The Wildcat will die soon.
Why?
I shot him.
What?
Ah, Mao-chan. I'd like you to hear this too.
You're kidding, right?
Having shot the Wildcat...
It's a lie. - It's true.
What is this?
Stop joking around!
Say it was a lie!
Hey! Say it!
Mao! - Please don't move.
I'm sorry, Mao-chan.
But I'd like you to stay calm and listen to me.
Can I have a drink?
Ah, wait...
The Wildcat's favourite whisky will be good.
You'd better not try anything.
I have a quick trigger finger.
At least don't sit on the sofa.
It distracts me to have you behind me.
You are not bothered at all.
Just because you know I kill...
doesn't mean my personality has changed.
For me, killing is an everyday thing.
It's like putting my shoes on.
Who asked you to do it?
Yuuki Tenmei.
I kill at Yuuki-san's request.
I have this weird nickname 'the Chameleon'.
You've betrayed us.
Concerning the outcome, yes.
Bur for me, the days spent with all of you...
were all completely genuine.
Every day was really enjoyable, stimulating...
and a little scary.
A really fun time with so much laughter!
If that's so...
then why?
It's my job.
Why couldn't you kill him straight away?
I was told not to touch him until I got the order.
Then you should have monitored us from afar.
There was no need to go so far as to become our friend.
Ah, I guess that's true, but...
There are two reasons.
One is my personality.
How should I put it...
Yeah...
Imagine you had a flower you grew very carefully.
You give it water everyday, talk to it everyday...
you love it like a child.
When this flower comes into full bloom...
you crush it.
For me, that is bliss.
In the same way, becoming the friend of my target...
is both pleasure and pain.
While I do this, I start to think...
that I don't want to hurt him; I don't want to kill him.
I gradually start to empathize with him.
And when the climax of that is reached, I kill him.
It feels so good that that pleasure becomes addictive.
Aren't you just crazy?
I wonder...
What's correct and what's crazy...
will differ according to people's values.
What's the other reason?
Because my target was the Wildcat.
He's a special person to me.
He's forgotten all about it but...
long ago, he and I were in the same place.
Same place?
In a spy training camp.
Do you know where the ones who dropped out have gone?
They've been killed.
No! I don't want to die!
Back then, I dropped out...
and he stayed.
So I was a bit jealous, I guess.
In fact it was somehow like I had...
a complex.
Ah, but I was also just caught out by the aptitude test.
Where handling guns and martial arts was concerned, I was right at the top.
And you sold those skills and became an assassin.
Well, yeah, that happened...
I was so nervous when I met the Wildcat for the first time.
I worried, surely he would expose me?
But he didn't notice a thing.
You and Hosoda-san also...
instantly accepted me. I was really happy.
Well... I guess I ended up hurting Hosoda-san.
Hosoda's killer...
That's me.
That was about three days after the Wildcat had pretended to kill him.
I called him to that pier ...by feeding him the lie ...
that I would tell him about Yuuki Tenmei.
I told him the clothes he wore three days previously were a hint to that...
and he came in those clothes without suspecting anything.
What stupid hint was that even supposed to be?
But even though he swallowed that...
he was a good person after all.
Where is the Wildcat?
Sorry. That was a lie.
Yuuki said you knew way too much.
I would've liked to spend more time with Hosoda-san.
That would have caused an even more pleasant feeling.
Come to think of it, when I finished off Kadomatsu Tatsuro...
it was unexpectedly exciting.
Tatsuro was also...
Actually, I wanted to shoot Akamatsu Anri...
but I'm bad with rifles.
Wake up!
Be that annoying hot day with lame jokes!
You're fucking kidding me!!
That was an okay result.
That the Wildcat was so upset.
For me to be able to get to the Wildcat like that...
is arousing me already.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm also really thankful to the two of you.
Look, you even arranged a birthday party for me!
That escapology you two did back then...
was really great.
Did you practice that only for me?
Thinking that is really heart-warming.
Mao-chan and the Wildcat dancing...
and Rikako-san's and Sekimoto-san's duet...
were awesome too.
I was so happy.
Does that also make you feel good when you're killing people?
I give up.
I wonder if the Wildcat really didn't realize...
that you are the Chameleon.
If he had, he'd have dealt with me earlier, wouldn't he?
Because I came to kill him.
To think that he knew and still invited you here...
What are you getting at?
Wasn't that because he wanted to believe in you?
You had come to kill him...
but being here together with us...
might have caused a change of heart within you.
Isn't that what he wanted to believe?
If so, it didn't work out as he planned.
Is that really so?
Did nothing change at all?
Meeting the Wildcat...
and meeting us...
didn't change anything?
If so, why did you...
cry back then?
Why were you crying with happiness?
Meeting you changed me, you know?
I thought that friendship only existed in Manga or Anime.
But I was able to meet people I could think of that way...
and was happy to call them friends.
Katsumura-san...
Didn't you think of us as your friends, too?
I...
I'm sorry, Mao-chan.
I'm not the person you think I am.
Well then... I think it's time to say goodbye.
Katsumura...
Say...
Yes?
What's your core?
Ah, that...
I wonder...
Killing, I guess.
How pathetic.
Goodbye.
What are you doing!?
If you move in your condition...
I have to be quick...
Or else they...
What?
Wait!
Why did he do that...
We'll be fine.
I will definitely save you.
Mao! Forget about me! Untie your legs first!
No way! We'll escape together!
Mao, please listen to me!
Mao, please! - No.
Mao! - NO!
We'll survive together.
Idiot!
Mao!
It's okay. Everything will be fine.
I'm here.
Mao...
Let me see your face.
Ever since you joined us...
You have become my core.
Seems like...
we should have practiced more escapology.
Yeah...
Mao...
Mao... I'm sorry.
Really? Understood.
The bar and the whole building burned down.
Was that Katsumura-senpai's doing as well?
I can't believe...
that senpai would...
I've known him since university!
Just... why?
Next, the news.
Last night a fire broke out in a bar in the Kitaura district of Tokyo.
In the burned-down building...
the bodies of Houshou Rikako-san and Takasugi Mao-san were found.
The police and firefighters are investigating the cause of the fire.
That was delicious.
?? Let's turn toward the sky...
?? and walk...
?? So that the tears...
?? can't fall.
?? I remember...
?? that day of spring...
?? The night of...
?? solituuuuude!!
I'd like to check out. - Thank you very much.
So you are the Chameleon.
Get out.
Fantastic!
Aren't you a bit meoverdue?
Are you making fun of the police? - I'm not!
Oy... wait a moment!
Oy! Oy! Someone, help!
Sekimoto-san escaped!
Hey, isn't he over there?
We can't escape like this. Oy, what should we do?
Don't worry.
But you look pretty bad.
Shut up...
It's time soon.
Here.
Oy, couldn't you get me a different one?
What are you doing?
Wait! - Stop it! Hey!
Good timing!
What is this?
What's going on?
We heard they're shooting for a movie today. - Meow!
Are you kidding us? - ?? Aaaaah
?? I'm chasing... - Move! Get out of the way!
?? the endless dreaaaaaam...
?? Aaaaaaah I'm chasing...
Aren't you Kyoubukai members?
Why are you acting like this?
Because the Wildcat...
helped our leader. MEOW!
?? the endless dreaaaaaam...
Hurry up already. - I know...
I will go when I'm ready. - I got it. I got it.
Don't push me! - I won't!
Yuss... I'm going...
1... 2...
You okay? Huh?
Don't move.
This takes me back...
I won't hesitate this time.
I will catch you.
Thanks for saving me.
That's for lodging.
See you!
Where is the Wildcat?
He managed to escape.
That's just fine.
We'll chase them!
Roger!
I just got my license, though.
Wait, aren't you in high school? - I'm 20. Repeated two classes.
Ah, really?
Well, good thing we have such an evil-doing gangster girl.
Are you making fun of me?
We're praising you. - Totally praising you.
You killed my sister, didn't you?
I miss my sister.
Aaaah...
You're that girl's sister.
Well. Her half-sister.
She went to so much trouble to become a spy...
and then she abandoned her mission and returned to her family.
What an idiot.
I won't forgive you.
Be happy with your sister in the next life.
Yes?
The Wildcat did?
Aaaah.
So he did survive after all.
I'm sorry. I'll get rid of him right away.
This is totally not a good-luck charm.
Wildcat...
I'm counting on you.
Katsumura is the Chameleon?
So you really didn't know.
Of course I didn't.
brought to you by Youkaisubs
So what are we going to do now?
