Huh? What happened?
A blackout?
Bastard! You have good senses!
You even saw through my height!
You thought I wouldn't be able to tell?!
Could it be that Greed and his Eve have already been moved?
No, they have made such thorough preparations.
Sendagaya! I am going down! Use the stairs and head up!
Leave it to me.
Lilly and I will be able to stop this guy.
Episode 9: "I'm Not Wrong"
Now, then.
I wonder who will come out to greet me.
Huh?
I don't even feel like laughing.
What will you do about this heavy atmosphere?
So you're Tsubaki?
Whoa.
That's a very gruff voice for such a cute exterior.
I heard our Servamp and Eve have been under your care.
Oh, I see. You're the subclass of Greed.
Even though he's a shitty brat, he's our boss.
It's our long-standing job to punish that kid.
He ain't yours. We'll be taking them back.
Well, I was thinking of settling things with the keys to their room.
Keys?!
Hey. You're probably serious, but it looks like you're joking, so can you stop?
So, where is my subclass?
He's here. He's in one of these mascot costumes.
Inside?
I see.
So if I attack carelessly, I might hurt my subclass.
Well, I wonder what I should do.
Wait, whoa.
You're being awfully flashy.
I see. We must be on Arisuin's private property or something.
I thought there would be a more elaborate trap.
Either there wasn't enough time,
or it's an issue with the personality of the one in charge.
Well, it's fine.
As long as there's a chance my subclass is here, I won't leave.
I'm the type that goes all out in any kind of game.
Are you ready?
Hmm. Mascot costumes are thick, so I can't tell if there are two people inside.
Playing hide-and-seek with whales in a forest.
I actually kind of like this meaningless situation.
Not interesting at all.
Let's continue.
It's so sad if the last child isn't found in hide-and-seek.
Now, shall we play?
The bottom floor.
Gill and the others can only hold him back for so long.
We have to save the Greed pair quickly.
According to our information, Tsubaki has five subclass that are skilled in battle.
Amongst them, the strongest is the man called Higan.
If the Greed pair are separated beyond their distance limit...
...the enemy should have split into two teams to protect them.
Higan with one hostage and three or four subclass with the other.
Hmph. With Tsubaki gone, subclass are no match for Tetsu and I.
I'll just have to believe in your confidence for now.
Our job is to stop as many subclass as we can.
My Lilly isn't suited for combat.
Now, how many of Tsubaki's subclass are here?
What? Why is no one here?
What? Something unexpected happen?
Misono! Stand back!
Something is wrong.
I don't feel anyone's presence here.
What's going on?!
You made a few miscalculations.
"They have separated the Greed pair beyond their distance limit."
"Because of that, the subclass have split into two teams to protect the top and bottom floors."
You don't understand Tsubaki-san at all.
He hates being on the defense.
He doesn't like conservative methods.
He loves doing things flashy.
Who knows if we'll let them stay together.
He misdirected us from the beginning!
You were mistaken from the beginning.
Our goal isn't to protect Greed.
It's to use Greed as bait to crush Pride.
They got us.
Lawless and Todoroki are both on the top floor.
I'm the one who was stopped.
What?! This guy is only 14?!
Wow, that's such a surprise for this old man!
Higan, how long do you plan on fooling around?
Oops.
I'm not excited to fight against children, but it can't be helped.
Looks like the hostages are definitely past them.
Yes, but the number of enemies...
Do not worry, Tetsu.
I shall not betray your expectations.
Misono!
I have to defeat him quickly and head up, but...
The winner or loser is decided by why can be the cruelest to the end.
Become cruel.
Provoke and shake your opponent.
Watanuki Sakuya, who are you right now?
Even now, Shirota thinks of a bastard like you as a dear friend.
You! All of you! Mahiru doesn't understand!
He doesn't get the meaning of this war.
Meaning?
Tsubaki-san is searching, but he still doesn't know what the key is.
It might be revenge. It might be something even more terrifying.
So a war between vampires isn't his goal?
The war is a way to find the key.
That's why he's playing around in such a roundabout way.
What is he looking for?
That's...
It hurts. Shit.
Where am I?
Shit. I just know this is that rotten hedgehog's fault.
I'll kill him!
Man, this is seriously disgusting.
I'm hearing things?
I can hear Lich-tan's voice.
Is it because Angel-chan is about to die?
I wonder how many hours it's been.
See?
See?! Look! Even Angel-chan will die! He'll never become anything!
He's so arrogant! Because I'm an angel, he says?!
Don't make me laugh!
Scratch that! It's not funny at all!
Shut up, rotten hedgehog!
Huh?
I won't die.
That's because I'm an angel.
Seriously, I hate the voices.
It's troublesome our minds are connected by contract.
I end up hearing death throes like this in my head.
I don't want to hear your voice, either!
Huh? Seriously?
Am I really hearing your voice directly?!
You're so annoying, you rotten hedgehog. Shut up.
Could it be you're on the other side?
You were caught after me, Lich-tan? How uncool.
Don't talk. I'll kill you.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Lich-tan, you're hurt, aren't you?
My wounds won't heal at all, either.
Lich-tan, what will you do if you die like this?
It's true you're a great pianist,
but there are other amazing pianists out there, too.
There's nothing unique in this world.
I'm trying to tell you that I am unique.
No, like I said!
You're not special, Lich-tan!
The audience will applause and cry even if it isn't you!
Just like they do the others!
It's completely different.
What's different about it?
What's inside.
What are you talking about?!
What are you running away from?
Lich-tan, you don't get it at all! You're stupid for having so many dreams and hopes!
It's all meaningless!
You're the stupid one!
An idiot who has no dreams to speak of!
You'll end up dying meaninglessly! You'll never become anything!
I won't die! That's because—
Just shut up! Shut up!
No one has any worth to begin with! You can't change that!
You're so freakin' noisy on the other side of the wall, rotten hedgehog!
Get over here!
You're really stupid, aren't you?!
We're in this situation because we can't get out!
If I could, I would have already—
Can't talk back when we're face-to-face?
Small-fry hedgehog.
Is this... a desert?
Kuro?
You're Kuro's...
Hey. Kuro doesn't want to see you.
You're lying.
I can hear it.
According to calculations, there's no one ahead.
Hey. Good morning. Good evening.
Hey. Good morning.
From below?!
But how do I go below a desert?
I have to think for myself. I came here on my own will.
I have to meet Kuro and talk to him.
Properly this time.
It isn't talent that accomplishes things, but imagination and effort.
It's not about wanting to do something that you can do.
It's about what you want to do.
That's right. I'm sure I can do anything...
...in reality!
Stairs that go down?
Now entering.
Kuro?!
This really is the worst!
Stop acting so menacingly.
That is why we are deciding by majority vote.
Whether we should take the life requested by C3 or not.
Pride
Gluttony
We don't need to listen to the orders of C3! They're shit!
Letter? Just rip it up and eat it!
Envy
Why can't you think calmly?
It's crazy to even think about an order to kill that person!
Greed
Lust
You all know how dangerous of a person he is, right?
Wrath
Even though I understand the logic, my feelings won't allow it.
For
Against
Even the idea that we eliminate him is crazy!
I mean, he's the one who created us Servamps!
The person who created Servamps?!
Kuro and the others are going to kill him?
That's right.
He created seven monsters like us by himself.
A genius.
According to C3's letter, someone fitting his description was seen in Japan.
Who saw him last?
I believe it was me. It has already been hundreds of years.
If he is still alive, he is no longer human.
He has surpassed the limits of power any single human should have.
Huh?
Is that something people like us should say?
If he makes tens or hundreds of monsters like us...
He hasn't done anything yet! Is there a need to kill him?!
And your voice is too quiet!
After the fact will be too late.
What do you think, Sleepy Ash?
Let's kill him.
I'll kill him.
You? Kill him?
The human who created you.
Have you gone crazy from too much sleep, Brother?
We wouldn't be here without him? Isn't that right?
That person is like a parent to us! Family!
Aren't we the ones who have to stick by his side?!
Shouldn't you be the one who stands by him?!
As his family, we should—
Don't use that word.
Hey!
What are we? How were we born?
We were—
I've never once thought the creation of vampires was a good thing.
But! But...
Even so! That person is your...
K-Kuro!
Kuro!
These are Kuro's memories.
Kuro's past.
He went alone to meet with the one who created all Servamps.
Oh, it's been a long time.
It's good to see you well, Sleepy Ash.
I can't believe he's really still alive!
I want to run.
Do I have complaints?
I don't want to.
Can I kill him?
Inquire.
What are you trying to do?
Don't think.
I can't hear. What are they...?
Kuro wavered.
He killed him even though he wasn't sure.
But I have to kill him.
Kuro, your eyes!
Don't look! Don't look!
I don't want to disappoint you.
I want to become a hero, too.
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
There's nothing to regret.
It was something we had to do.
There was no other choice.
I believe this was for the best.
No complaints.
There really wasn't any other way.
I'm not angry.
We have no right to be angry with you.
I won't forgive you, Brother!
I won't forgive you!
This is Kuro's uncertainty and regret.
I didn't understand the resolve I needed to face others.
Kuro, you idiot!
I won't run away anymore!
I came here because I decided to face you...
...with all your sins and regrets!
I didn't know about the resolve I needed to face this pain.
Hey, you.
What do you think is eternal in this world?
All living things die. Things fall to ruin. Feelings fade.
The only thing eternal in this world...
As long as you're human, only one thing is eternal.
It's...
...the sin of man.
Where am I?
Goodness, you made it this far.
You should just leave him alone.
Just... what are you?
Why don't you pry open one of Kuro's secrets here?
You might learn many things.
Here, I'll give you another weapon.
This time, I'll give you something a lot stronger than a broom.
Use it to break them.
You should break them all open.
I don't need it.
Kuro. You're inside, aren't you?
I just want him to let me in.
I don't need a weapon. I just need to knock.
Kuro, it's me.
Who are you?
I'm—
Me?
Who am I again?
It's me, Shirota Mahiru!
I came here to face you!
Mahiru...
I...
No, but..
Why did I do something like that?
We don't need any more monsters in the world.
No, I had no choice.
Should I have discussed things first?
Could I have done something like that?
What should I have done?
You regretted it all this time, alone.
The world won't change for the better, anyways.
I was right. I'm not wrong.
We don't need any more monsters in the world.
I needed to stop him there.
I was right.
If I didn't do it, someone else would have done it.
No.
Is that true?
Was the only choice to kill him?
If I was wrong, then just why did I...?
Regret is painful.
If I have to feel this way, I'd rather never do anything again.
I won't decide anything.
I'll only do things others tell me to do.
That's all.
I'm not wrong!
Someone, please tell me that I wasn't wrong.
You were wrong!
Being wrong or being right, it's not something I decide.
It's not something the world decides.
It's you, Kuro!
You're the one who thinks you might have been wrong!
It takes courage to accept that you were wrong
because it goes against the things you have built up until now.
But it's okay!
If you regret it, you have no time to stop here!
Let's go, Kuro!
Let's face it together!
You aren't alone!
There are things you can do!
You're so troublesome I could die.
Shirota Mahiru, 16 years old.
I love simple things.
I hate troublesome things.
That's why I picked up a cat.
Your name is Kuro!
Now, call out my name, too.
Anytime!
Episode 10 "Lawless"
Listen, bastard! You have to follow my orders as I'm older than—
He fell asleep.
