How deep is your heart
Deep inside the darkness
dare mo shiranai tokubetsu
No one knows I want to feel special...
Want to feel...
Want to feel... Want to touch... Want to feel...
sono yami ni furetakute
Wanting to touch the darkness
sotto te wo nobashita kimi ni
Gently reached out a hand for you
kizukarenai youni... nodo bakari kawaita
Without noticing... My throat's drying up
Reached out to your heart
So deep
yawarakaku tsutsumareta sono kokoro
The heart has been softly embraced,
motto fukaku shiritakute... ah...
I want to know more... Ah...
How deep is your heart
Deep inside the darkness
Somewhere unknown and special
Do you want to feel
Want to feel... want to feel...
Do you want to feel
Want to feel... want to feel...
[Chapter 5: Duel]
Thor!
Wait, Thor!
Thor!!
It'd be bad for you to argue; you should calm down!
Third!
Oi, Thor!
Thor!
How cruel, all of a sudden.
The cruel one is you.
I never said I wanted a Try!
It's impossible for me to beat Top!
You're certainly anxious, aren't you.
You hit me this hard but only made my mouth bleed.
What you're saying is so pitiful.
I'm opposing it after careful consideration!
Then, how many years will it take before you can win?
If you can't win now, you won't be able to years later either.
You are my comrade.
Top will get rid of anyone associated with me...
Then why don't you do it?!
I'm just a Third.
This fact won't change.
I chose you as my Top.
Generally, for a child raised in a pure environment like the Colony, the chances of surviving here are close to zero.
But you survived.
You were caught up in Musa's germination,
and even a Verasona's attack,
but you managed to survive.
This was luck?
No, not just luck.
We can say that this is fate.
I've been waiting for a person like you;
a survivor here on Chimera, who'll become Jyu Oh
and one day stop Odin.
Why?
I was in Rhea's Air Force Official School.
I was abandoned here by Odin as well,
without even having a formal trial.
Odin... Why?
Dr Klein.
Your father aimed to overthrow Odin's dictatorship,
but everyone involved was killed before they could achieve their goal.
As Colin said, your father was killed over a false accusation.
That's!..
You have a responsibility to become Jyu Oh;
overthrowing Odin was your father's intention as well.
Thor, I think Third is right.
Tiz...
So you have to become Jyu Oh,
and then get to Hecate as soon as possible.
If not...
Tiz, I understand.
Thank you.
Thor...
But Third,
we can see who will take the match:
the difference between their strength and build is huge.
So when the time comes, leave creating the turning point to me.
Tomorrow you will be fighting here.
Many people will come to watch you.
Once the duel starts, it won't stop until victory and defeat are determined.
There won't be anywhere for you to run.
However, only that corner...
That corner is a blind spot.
A blind spot?
Listen, you have to lead him there.
The timing has to be accurate.
Lead him there when he's about to win so that he's off guard.
He will definitely stop there.
I'll make him stop.
There's only one chance; grab it tightly.
This is the turning point;
your only chance of winning.
Only... chance.
If you can't take it, you'll die.
Are you scared?
I am.
I'm not confident at all.
No matter how many turning points there are, nonsense is nonsense.
Thor, you just need to be confident!
There's a reason you should be too...
The current Top was Jyu Oh's brother,
so he didn't become Top by a Try;
Jyu Oh nominated him.
Among the four Tops, he's the weakest.
You're good with swords as well.
Most importantly, you survived Verasona's attack.
There's noting you need to be afraid of.
You will definitely win!
Win and become Jyu Oh!
This is?
It's Leaf Fall.
Musa's Leaf Fall has started.
Leaf Fall?
When Leaf Fall begins, it's Kou no Tsuki.
Women start to nominate their husbands.
Then, it's dusk.
After that, a big storm will start.
When all the leaves have fallen, night will come.
After a long long day, there's a long long night;
Chimera's most cruel period.
I never thought I'd see a night filled with darkness again.
That night's just ahead of me.
Still, I have to face this test.
Thor...
But this is what Papa would have wanted.
Wow!
He's coming!
It feels like I've seen this scene before.
That's right, it was from the Earth Library;
there, horned beasts and men fought against one another.
Didn't run away, huh? You really are an idiot.
Don't imagine you'll die easily; I'll make you suffer first.
Prepare yourself!
Thor...
This Try is completely ridiculous!
Isn't there anything we can do to stop it?
There's no use.
It's already gone this far.
Besides, this is Top's character. No one will be able to...
Where's Third at a time like this?
That guy said that he cares about Thor...
Yeah,.. well, that's true...
Such a villainous character.
You understand the role you're playing, don't you, Top.
Nevertheless, it's better for you to leave the stage quickly once your part is over.
Ready, fight!
I'm coming, brat!
Thor!
I'm coming!
Shit, you're pretty swift.
Nice! Thor!
Stop running around.
I can't touch his sword. I'm won't be able to block his attack.
You damn brat!
What?
Well done! Run, run!
This little bastard, trying to make a fool of me...
Good he got away. With normal reflexes, he wouldn't have been able to escape that attack.
I don't want to interfere in other Ring's Try,
but it'd be a pity if this kid dies here.
He's really a lot stronger than Chen.
Continuing to run away won't work!
Brat! You have nowhere to run!
Not yet; I have to make him angrier.
I'll definitely kill you!
Shit!
A bit more.
Bastard!
Now!
I won't forgive you. Let me cut you up!
No...
I have to go there.
Thor, it's too early!
Get there...
Heh, you've finally become obedient.
Ow...
Thor, get up!
Stand up and run!!!
Tiz...
You really are tough. Good, do what you like.
Just run then!
The worst...
This is the worst nightmare I've ever had.
I'm going there...
there... there... I have to get there...
Can't we do anything about it?
Thor.
A bit... just a bit more...
What?
Can't run anymore?
Ready to die?
Third... where's Third?
Liar...
Third's a liar.
He betrayed me?
There's only one chance; grab it tightly.
Thor... you did it!
Red...
Everywhere is red...
Is it my blood?... Or... the blood of someone I killed?..
Thor! Thor!
Hang in there, Thor!
I tried my best, but his bleeding was excessive.
I'm not sure if he can make it to tomorrow...
That's a lie! Thor won't die.
He'll become my husband!
He definitely won't die!
Tiz...
Ah! It's gone - his pulse!
Thor!
What are you doing?
He needs artificial respiration and heart massage.
I'll do the artificial respiration; Colin taught me before.
Okay. Chen, feel the pulse.
Can you feel it?!
Not yet.
Wake up Thor!
Open your eyes!
It's too early to die!
You won't die, right?
You'll become Jyu Oh!
That's your destiny!
Third!
Let go of me!
Thor is...
The pulse is back!
Thor's breathing...
Really, what a tough guy.
Third.
A portent of the big storm...
If you want to go back you should hurry.
The Try with Ilza is officially arranged.
If I die, will you cry a bit for me?
I'll cry. Of course I will.
Then, when that happens, like you were for Thor, will you be desperate to save me?
I will win!
- win and come back!
And then, next Kou no Tsuki I'll nominate you.
That time... when that time comes, don't run away, Third!
Night is coming.
Everything will freeze over.
The 181 days of deathly night:
Chimera Death Night.
It always feels like I'm in a nightmare.
When I open my eyes, Papa, Mama and Rai will be with me;
we'll all be together in our house on Juno.
But reality is always different.
Rai! Wait, Rai!
I can't. I have to go.
No, don't go!
Don't worry, you're strong, Thor!
You'll be fine by yourself.
I'm not strong!
I'll be scared on my own!
Don't go!
Please, Rai!!!
Rai!
Thor, are you ok?
Tiz...
Were you having a bad dream?
You cried out.
I... didn't die?
No. However, there were many times when I almost gave up hope...
but Third...
Third?
Yeah. Without Third, you would've died.
Were you with me all this time?
Of course I was.
I'm... your Second.
Tiz...
Oh, you woke up, Thor.
Here, take this.
Ochre Ring's Top's symbol.
I don't want it.
I hated that guy,
but I didn't mean to kill him.
Ok. Whatever Top wants.
Third... uh...
What... those clothes?..
It's already night.
While you were sleeping all this time, night fell.
Night?...
Since I was abandoned on Chimera,
I've had many dreams of my past.
Every time when I woke,
I'd feel sad and hurt,
But for the first time I feel that reality here on Chimera isn't so bad.
Maybe I can survive here together with Tiz and Third...
All the same, I'll leave this planet
and became Jyu Oh, without a doubt.
Top!
Top, I've been looking for you.
You can even find me here, huh.
Karin said that you'd be here.
Is that so...
Top, it won't be long before the blizzard picks up force.
What are you doing here?
Kevin, address me as you used to;
Call me Zagi.
Take a good look...
Eh?
Ochre Ring, sooner or later, will be my territory.
kutsu wo nugisute hadashi ni natta
Take off and throw away my shoes, I'm barefoot.
soshite atashi wa nami wo kaeta
I transformed waves after that.
futari tsukutta suna no shirotachi
The sandcastles made by the two of us
sadamenai youni
seem so unstable.
dakedo sugu nami nigesarete
But the waves will disappear soon.
atashi wa youyaku omoini kizuita
I finally noticed my feelings.
Looking into my eyes, you will touch in on my heart.
anatae no omoimo kawaranai
My feelings for you will never change.
tashikana kotoyo
I'm sure about it.
Baby, I love you more, every day and night.
te wo tsunagi naraba
If we hold our hands together,
dokomademo ikeru kigasuru
I would feel as if we can go anywhere.
te wo tsunagu aite ni naritainaa
Holding our hands, I want to be your companion.
atashi to jaane dame desuka
Say good-bye to me, isn't it ok?
onegai
Please.
