Somebody!
Somebody...
Ichi...
Save your breath.
What do you intend to do with lchi?
Nothing.
So long as he listens to what I have to say, that is.
What does that mean?
Sorry, but I'm going to gag you. Open your mouth for me.
As long as you keep being good, I won't do anything worse than this.
I... If I were able to meet Gouta again someday,
I intended to thank him for when he helped me.
Eat up, lchi.
Word will have already been sent to the Ukishima Shrine headquarters.
I would imagine so.
After all, I'm not the only contact man.
They even know about lchimatsu going?
I'm just a lowly contact. I can't do anything about that.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, I don't blame you.
A separate assault team has supposedly left headquarters and is heading this way.
I understand.
Mobilizing a separate assault team to take on a single Samurai Gun is most out of the ordinary.
What do you mean?
Killing him isn't the only thing they're after.
Kurenai.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you. You, too.
Mr. Watou.
May I have a word with you in private?
I'm fine here. Just say it.
Be more specific.
They appear to be transporting something called a Heavy Samurai Gun.
What?
It would seem that what you've been looking for has finally come out into the open.
Summon the operatives. I will be heading out as well.
And what should I do as far as reporting to Chief of Staff Kozan?
Once the mission is completed, I'll make the report myself.
Yes, Sir.
Would you please take me with you?
Should anything happen, I won't be held responsible for you.
I think you'll find I can look after myself.
It's water.
Just hang in there a little longer.
I'll tell you a story... Listen up.
It's about a poor, pathetic bastard and how the organization he thought was on his side
decided that he was no longer necessary.
Even on that fateful day, he believed that, just like always, he was just doing his job:
Kill those who are evil, help those who are not.
That day, he was accompanied by two comrades-in-arms.
Together, they arrived at the scene of their objective...
When all of a sudden,
he was shot from behind by his own comrades.
Why?!
You still don't get it, do you? Number Two, Gouta!
THlS is the real mission!
What?!
The Ukishima Shrine headquarters has deemed you "categorically unnecessary" to the Council.
Therefore,
as per command regulations section 4, Executive Order No. 6,
you are to be eliminated!
You brought this on yourself! You know what you did, Gouta!
You've repeatedly ignored orders to go on homicidal rampages,
and your work has been so sloppy it could only be called "self-serving"!
Because of this, you've utterly failed to gain any kind of popular support!
Die! Just die right now!
Don't try to fight it, just know what you've done and DlE!
Your usefulness is ended!
He managed to escape,
continuing his fight as he slew the assassins the organization sent after him.
Just like that, those who had been his comrades were now his enemies.
Being called useless had given him a goal.
And that goal...
Became what helped him stay alive.
So that's what's behind all this.
You didn't have to kill the tavern owner, though.
Isn't that right? Number Two, Gouta!
If I hadn't shot, I would have been killed.
Throw down your weapon and take off your helmet.
I don't want you using something as tactless as sleeping incense.
Besides, we haven't seen each other in a while.
Show me your face. Okay, Number Seven? Ichimatsu!
HEAVY SAMURAI GU
You're Daimon from Kiriyama, aren't you?
Who are you guys?
We're the separate assault team from Ukishima Shrine headquarters.
What?
I'm sorry, but we'll have to restrain you for a while.
And what if I said no?
Fine, I get it.
Ichi!
So you WERE the one who saved me that time.
All right, woman. You can go now.
Go.
Ichi.
I'll be fine. Okay?
But...
Go.
How naive. What would you have done if I'd shot her?
You don't shoot women.
You've had a soft spot for them since way back when.
I remember.
Not as much as Number Three, though...
Why did you call for me?
I have a favor to ask.
I plan to locate the Council's headquarters at Ukishima Shrine.
The organization raised me as a Samurai Gun,
then threw me away like a tool that had lost its usefulness and tried to get rid of me.
I want to see its substance for myself, and to make my decision.
Its substance?
Is the Council good or evil? Or is it neither?
It's different from just killing!
It's an action of justice!
We're looking forward to your performance as well.
Please do your best.
For justice.
I thought we acted as Samurai Guns because of our belief in justice!
I'm no longer able to believe in that so-called justice.
If you don't wield it with a level head,
it becomes merely a tool of mass murder.
The same can most definitely be said about you Samurai Guns,
also known as the Black lnsurgents.
Some time ago, a foreigner named Victor Rhino
introduced a Western technique known as "psycho-engineering" to Japan.
That knowledge was fused with Oriental acupuncture and moxibustion,
and the initial result was the was the very first Samurai Gun training method.
The first-generation Samurai Guns, Numbers One to Eleven,
can be called victims of that process.
So what are you guys trying to do, anyway?
We must kill Number Two at all costs.
Regrettably, your friend is with him right now.
You mean...
What is that?
I-866, North type 37.
Heavy Samurai Gun, Experimental Model One.
Daimon! What the hell is going on?!
Sutekichi!
Don't tell me you're going to use this on Number Two!
That's right.
I can't say it's operating at full capacity, though.
But...
Listen.
Everybody lives their lives, little by little making mistakes and then correcting those mistakes...
even if doing so looks so hopeless that it's painful.
If he keeps heading down this wrong path and can't find his way back,
then it's my job to finish him.
Number Six, it's time.
Understood.
Wait! Ichimatsu and Ohana are probably there, too!
Damn it!
I won't ask for your help.
But I want you to see everything that I will see, with me.
I want to know what YOU think of it.
After that, feel free to kill me at any time.
I want the man who was like a brother to me as we grew up in the training hall
to say my last rites.
Brothers? Yeah...
When I think of it that way, I get a feeling of loneliness and nostalgia.
But the memories are missing a lot of the details, like gaping holes scattered throughout my heart.
Well, Number Seven.
Have you heard the rumors concerning a man known as Rekkai?
His orders had the families of some of us first-generation Samurai Guns be put to death,
and even, they say, for the insides of our heads to be scrambled with.
What is that thing?!
Damn it...
Ichimatsu?! What's he doing here?
Gouta!
Ichimatsu?!
Damn.
If something like that started rampaging after US,
things could get rather troublesome, don't you think?
Not if we can destroy it here, before it can become mass-produced.
Damn it! I can't die yet! Not yet!
You won't.
I have a message for you from Mitsu.
She said thank you for helping her.
She's saying that NOW?
Ichimatsu! Step away!
I know you're aware of Gouta's situation.
And you're going to point a gun at him for it?
If he really can't be controlled, then I will finish him myself!
This isn't right...
This is not justice!
It's been awhile, Number Six.
Stop it, Gouta!
With this, it doesn't matter if it's the Council or the Shogunate itself...
I could tear it all down! I could rip through everything!
Gouta!
This is the end of the Black lnsurgents.
Oh, really?
Without the lnsurgents, we will become superfluous.
I'm just talking nonsense. Don't concern yourself.
Gouta!
Don't push yourself, Number Seven!
Don't move. You mustn't lose any more blood than you already have.
That voice... Number Ten? No, Number One.
And the other is...
Ichi?
Later,
it was said that no corpses were found in the remains of the fire.
I was still alive...
Or rather, I should say that I was allowed to live
by some great power the likes of which I can't even imagine.
Now then... will the pawn be granted strength, or be used and thrown away?
Mousugu ai o akirameru Just about giving up on love
Futari ni itami ga mune sasu The emotional pain hits the two of us
Kioku no soko e nagedashita The distorted dreams
Kioku no soko e nagedashita Consigned to the darkest pools of memory
Yuganda yume ga sakendeta Were shouting out loud
Konna kodoku to hikikae ni In exchange for this loneliness
Nani o gisei ni shita no? What did you sacrifice?
Zutto zutto dakishimeteta Embracing for a long, long time
Zutto zutto kizukazu ni ita Not realizing for a long, long time
Hontou no omoi ni What my true feelings were
Motto motto kizutsuku hodo More, more, so much that I get hurt
Motto motto kokoro ni furete Touch my heart more, more
Ma ni awanakute mo Even if it doesn't happen in time
Whose dream am I in right now?
Will I someday awaken from this dream, too?
All I know is that the only thing I can do is keep on running... Iike I am now.
