I can finally go
as far as greed takes me.
As I want.
Laws...
Customs...
Morals will not bind us.
Now is the time for our world!
It got bigger again.
This is nothing. It will still expand
as it engulfs every rampant maggot in this world.
Then, in the end,
what are we fighting for?
Give up. The end of the age of man began a long time ago.
Ever since we first desired to satisfy our immediate greed
before trying to ponder what true wealth is.
Well, I'd better hurry. I must gather everyone together
to make the world my dear, dear friend wanted.
As soon as possible.
Before she wakes up.
Isuzu.
I couldn't do it after all.
I said I wanted to reclaim my honor
and work, so everyone could enjoy themselves.
I said all that, but I'm hopeless,
aren't I?
I...
When I was little, I often dreamed of flying.
But when I flew, it wasn't freely. I was close to the ground.
I would get caught in telephone wires or my feet would touch the ground.
But now...
I have dreams of running away.
I'm being chased by a blurry figure.
But in the meantime, I buy red bean buns and meet with friends.
I hide somewhere, but I'm always found.
Yet in these dreams, I'm never caught.
I actually wanted to dream of soaring high in the sky.
I wanted to dream of flying so high, I could go to the moon
and rub my cheek on its surface.
But...
I'm pretty hopeless, right?
I may have gate power, but like you said,
I can only make little hops like a frog or a rabbit.
But still...
I'm going, Isuzu.
I used too much.
Gate...
Full Open!
You bastards.
If you're human,
why the hell
are you attacking us?
Stop! You'll be consumed by the gate, too!
I don't give a crap! It's better than losing
and crying, like before!
I'd rather die fighting!
Gates are anything but our hope.
Maybe,
but I'm counting on you.
Huh?
You used your ability to teleport, didn't you?
Do you want to lose everything like I did?
My Gate of Oblivion erases everything.
Isn't the shape of these bones pretty?
They are my bones. Bones from when I had a body.
The brandisher of the blade over those in dwelling of the mortal world,
is but a fool dulled to the heart.
Yukino...
Yukino, please hold on.
I'm sorry about the clothing you made for me.
That's okay. Don't worry about it. I'll make you some more.
Thank you.
My kind, gentle thoughts of the world are betrayed,
but I am not a bird, so I cannot depart it.
Yukino...
Chinami, Naoko.
What's she doing?
You asked me, remember, Isuzu?
You asked me if I'd like to do something more interesting.
But fighting isn't interesting at all.
It's only sad.
Could it be that the interesting thing you spoke of was actually...
Could it be?
I will go.
To do something more interesting.
To stop the fighting for everyone.
Gate Open!
Higher! Higher!
High enough to reach the moon!
I'm sorry, Isuzu.
I...
Don't worry about it.
About what?
It was already too late, for all of it.
Our powers were simply too small
compared to the lies and deceit of this city.
Maybe, but still...
I didn't want to lose.
Well, I'd better go now. I have to begin the ending.
I must gather all the annoying humans into one.
That's why...
I must go to the city where they are waiting to be united.
Isn't that a...
Hey. Can you hear that?
Yeah, I sure can.
I... Isuzu!
What's the matter?
It's my fault that Yukino was...
And everyone is falling apart.
It's my fault because I'm hopeless.
It's all my fault.
- Your dream.
- Huh?
I'll make it come true.
What?
Let's go reclaim your honor
and do something more interesting.
Right!
- Okay, we're going.
- Right!
- Gate
- Open!
This isn't good enough.
Don't hop like a frog or a rabbit.
Fly to the end of the sky, like a bird! Quick!
Right!
Don't look away.
Lift us up in one swoop!
I understand!
Yes. If I'm with you I'm sure I can do it.
I can fly like the bird I can never become.
- Isuzu?
- No problem!
Get going already! Put the finishing touches on my victory.
I'll give you as many limbs as needed! So...
Hear me, Gate!
Give me power one last time!
Go, Gate Keepers!
I see it.
Damn.
Isuzu, hold on!
Gate Open!
What's wrong?
It's not going to hold anymore.
Isuzu!
Miu!
Hey, Miu! Pull yourself together!
I...
It's okay, don't talk.
I did it, right?
I didn't reach the moon,
but I reclaimed my honor, didn't I?
Oh, dear. My schedule is a complete mess.
But, oh well. This was bound to happen in the end.
Don't make such a scary face. Look.
Look at the quiet, quiet world with no one in it.
Cars and trains are stopped.
The noisy, dirty, self-serving,
humans are nowhere to be found.
And, look!
All you can see are the birds you love so much,
flying smart, beautiful and free.
You know what? For a very, very long time,
I've been looking for a girl just like me.
A girl who hates the filthy humans with no manners.
A girl who doesn't expect anything, wants nothing, and lives only for herself.
A girl who wants to live like a bird,
but can't and hates herself for it.
A girl who wants to change, but can't,
and hates herself the way she is.
A girl like that, who is a Gate Keeper.
You and I are the same. We are different, yet the same.
See? Let's make a world for only ourselves, together.
You have a point.
Maybe you and I are very much alike.
I knew it!
That's why.
That's why we can't be friends.
But why?
Tell me why.
What's this?
It won't do any good, you know. I am a ghost girl. I can't be killed.
After all, I'm already dead.
I told you it's no good! You can't kill me.
If I turn everyone in the world into Invaders...
Yes! In the end you will be forced to be my friend!
Someone who hates herself
shouldn't want someone like themselves as a friend.
Vacuous Missile.
No!
My... My bones!
The proof that I was alive.
Oh, no!
I can't even touch myself anymore.
I wanted you to sleep until it was all over.
Why? Why did you wake up?
It was my stupid father.
He pestered me to wake up.
Oh. I didn't know.
You weren't like me.
You have someone precious.
Among the dead or even the living,
I was always alone. Even Yukino didn't understand me.
When I found you, I thought I finally wouldn't be Lonely anymore.
I was mistaken.
You weren't my friend!
If that's how it is,
I will put the last of my strength into this Black Minus Gate!
I will make you suffer for eternity!
Miu!
Is that...
That's right. It's a Black Gate.
In other words, a gate reversed by hate.
A Minus Gate.
Hey! Pull yourself together! Hey, come on!
Hey!
Why am I honking?
I only want to hear the truth!
If I have to, I'll whip up a charge and haul you off to jail!
- Who are you mister?
- Yeah.
Huh? Where am I?
Where are you? This is our school, of course!
Huh?
Hey, isn't this Odaiba?
Weird.
But how? Why?
Naoko! Chinami!
Hey, Miu. What are you doing?
Naoko!
You're not a child, so don't cry over taking a tumble.
Hey, Miu? What are you doing in Odaiba?
Chinami, Naoko.
- Hey, hey. What's the matter? - What are you crying for?
A reversal of the Gate of Oblivion which erases everything.
I'll call it the Gate of Restoration.
Did she do it on purpose?
Or was she possessed by a hate so dark
she forgot something that simple?
Well it may have worked temporarily,
but this doesn't mean that the Invaders have been wiped out.
Again?
Wh...
Yes. I guess everything is back to normal, after all.
But isn't that enough?
You did good, Ayane.
What is it?
Oh, nothing.
I just recalled what my stupid father said in a dream, that's all.
So, what did he say?
He told me to be a little nicer.
I always thought I would like to do
something more interesting in this city.
But in the end, I don't really know what that something is.
But I came to realize something.
I realized...
November, 2001.
Isuzu!
I'm s-s-sorry I'm late.
Um...
There are three IPW source points.
If we don't hurry, we won't be able to take care of them all today.
Isuzu!
Um, you know.
Do you remember when I had the part-time job at the bakery?
What you said to me back then has been bothering me forever.
We are...
Um, you know, er...
We are friends, aren't we?
Um, Isuzu?
Come on. Let's get going.
Aw, please wait!
Ow...
Wait for me, Isuzu!
By the way, where are your glasses? Talk to me, Isuzu!
I realized I probably can't do anything very interesting by myself.
If I have a smile today...
If I have your smile today...
When I ran out of breath and turned around...
...you were always there,
smiling at me.
Sure footsteps echoing in my heart...
...as I near despair.
In the blue sky, the birds fly,
flapping their wings to shake off...
...their sadness.
Now, there is hope.
There is hope in my heart.
This time, let's open...
...the gate to tomorrow.
Now, I have courage.
I have passionate courage.
So, let's stand up smiling.
Ukiya Family Plot Get up, my heart!
Now, fly towards the future...
...my heart!
