I killed her.
I've stained the little bird's wings.
That girl who looked just like Yomi.
I can't fly any more.
I just can't...
BlackWRock Shooter
How much longer do I have to shout?
How much longer do I have to cry?
Stop now, I can't run anymore
The world I dreamed of one day closes to me
On this dark and cracked road, without the faintest light
I felt like I saw the rays of hope
emanating from my past
Why?
Black Rock Shooter, what fond memories
I recall my times of happiness
Black Rock Shooter, but I can't act
I wish upon the stars soaring through the darkness
because I will run one more time
Episode 6
Ray of Hope from the Dark
Huh?
You did it, Mato.
Well done, Mato.
Come back, Mato.
Mato...
Mato.
Mato! Mato!
Mato!
Why,
Black Rock Shooter?
Coming.
Saya.
Help us!
What have you done?
By burdening them with all our negative emotions,
we rob our other selves of what little humanity they have left...
Awakening their true power!
I put Takanashi through so much to wake up the Dead Master.
Then you come up to Black Rock Shooter and...
I didn't think that she'd actually get trapped in there.
I just thought that if Mato experienced that world for real,
then Black Rock Shooter would awaken.
That's all...
Why?!
Black Rock Shooter will destroy that world.
Don't you know what will happen to us if she does?!
Yet still...
As it is, everyone is suffering.
So are you, Saya!
Don't worry about me.
Saya...
If I...
If I kill Kuroi right here...
Wait!
I can't do it.
She never did anything wrong.
I couldn't possibly kill her!
Kuroi is trapped inside Black Rock Shooter.
Saya...
We can try calling out to her.
Maybe our voices will reach her.
Right.
Not you.
But!
Do remember,
what I want to protect is not Kuroi,
but rather our counterparts in that world.
It hurts.
It's painful. It hurts. It's painful.
It hurts.
It's painful.
It hurts. It's painful.
It hurts.
It's painful.
Kuroi!
Kuroi, please.
Kuroi.
Listen to my voice.
Kuroi, for the love of God!
Please...
Let it reach you...
I...
That girl...
I met that girl on a hot summer day.
It's so hot...
Wh... Hey... What's up?
W-Wait!
Come with me.
Just do it!
Go on, have some.
Don't hold back.
Do we have any ice cream?
Say, isn't that the Kotari girl?
You know her?
She's well known.
Since...
At school and at home,
Yu went through things I can't even begin to fathom.
And yet...
She silently endures it,
bottling all that pain
inside her little self.
Yo!
For some reason, I couldn't leave her alone.
You're strong, Yu.
Strong?
Yeah, I'm envious.
I half-ass everything.
But you, you're great.
That ain't me.
There're others out there.
Eh?
If I'm bullied, or something saddens me,
someone else comes out, takes my place,
and bears the pain for me.
That's why I don't...
hurt that much.
I just couldn't leave her alone.
I would've done anything for her.
I couldn't understand the extent of her wounds.
Oh, damn.
I thought this was tea, not soup.
Saya! Yu's house!
Eh?
Yu!
These were my thoughts at the time:
"Yu's the one who did it."
I thought she did it as payback for all the pain she'd suffered.
You're thinking
that I did this.
Yu?
Get in the ambulance.
Yu!
No,
I'm sorry.
That's not it.
I...
Yu!
As it turns out,
the fire was caused by her father-in-law's cigarette butt.
I couldn't...
forget that smile.
Somehow, I...
wanted to make up for it all.
Somehow.
Yu.
Wait!
Yu, I'm sorry!
I was wrong.
I always wanted to be your friend.
I'm sorry!
If you could forgive me...
I'll do anything!
Please!
No world
is more painful to live in than this one.
Yu?
A penny for your thoughts.
I won't do anything strange, if that's what you're thinking.
I don't want to suffer.
But...
I wonder if that child will come and take my pain away.
H-Hey... What happened, Yu?
You'll do anything for me, right?
Yeah.
In that case,
protect me.
Protect...?
Call out your name.
Eh? Saya?
Wrong. Your other name.
Other name?
That's right,
you are...
Black Gold Saw.
Wake up, Kuroi!
Please!
Saya!
How did it go?
That child...
saved me.
Those girls...
But why?
I did terrible things to them.
And yet...
It's fine.
You're forgiven.
I...
couldn't do anything...
It's fine.
I had to protect them.
I had to protect that world.
It's fine now.
It isn't!
It is.
Saya.
I'm sorry, Saya.
I'm sorry, Mato.
Right about now, you would be...
Right about now, you'd be hurting.
Right about now, it'd be painful.
I'm sorry,
Mato.
I'm sorry, Black Rock Shooter.
I forced my will onto you.
It hurts. It's painful.
I...
finally understand.
Up until now I'd been
forcing my pain onto other people.
The pain of my heart.
The other you is always fighting,
taking on your worries and messed-up emotions...
And then the other you dies in battle and ceases to exist.
That blue-eyed girl
fights and hurts others,
to save us from our pain.
But...
But that's wrong!
You want to be somebody else,
but there's no way that could happen
If you feel sorry for yourself
a different side of you hidden deep inside
will tell you what to do
Yomi!
What is it?
Some things are just the way they are
Kagari, are you okay?
What is it?
I don't really know, but...
Everybody has troubles, everybody struggles
She seems cheerful enough.
We complain
and grumble
and pass the days doing that
We're used to being hurt, but we know
you can't survive on feelings of kindness alone
Kuroi Mato
