The pain of being ignored...
The pain of being bullied...
The pain of not having a place to return to...
When you walk your path alone...
When no one cares about you...
They tore my uniform and with it, my heart!
I would've rather had myself torn apart!
Even that would've been better!
Mato.
I'm sorry.
Yuu!
I wanted to rescue you from within Black Rock Shooter.
But now that doesn't look possible.
Yuu!
I can't allow you to be killed by my own hands.
What are you talking about?
Yuu!
Thank you, my friend.
Yuu?
Yuu!
What's going on, Yuu?
Yuu!
Answer me, Yuu!
I am Yuu's soul.
If I vanish, so should the pain that's warping her senses.
She won't be able to remain in this world once she forgets her pain.
Stop, Yuu!
Stop!
I don't want to go back to reality!
Don't!
Oh, no!
Don't do it! Don't!
I won't let you!
Yuu is my friend!
Where am I?
It's so dark.
There's not a single light.
There are nothing but ruins.
This is Black Rock Shooter's world.
Yes.
This is your world.
Are you—
How does it feel to be hurt,
Black Rock Shooter?
Episode 8 Beyond This World
Strength...
Why?
Why would you do that?!
If you disappeared, I...
I would have to go back!
To reality!
I don't want to!
Why?! I'm all alone!
I don't have a place to go back to!
Alone?
Mato tried to help me.
To help you.
I made you bear...
all my suffering, pain, and hesitation.
I don't mind. That's just our nature.
That's not it! I don't want to hurt anyone!
Not Yuu, Yomi, or you!
No, I want to be hurt! Properly, by myself!
You want to be hurt?
Yeah, I do!
There are worlds you can't see otherwise!
Yeah, I want to see them!
I won't look away!
The orange of smiles,
the pink of sneezes,
the blue of tears,
the purple of haze,
the red of anger!
Even the color of pain.
I want to see them all for myself!
I don't want wounds that can heal before I even realize I'm hurt!
I want to get hurt properly!
I'll hurt you then.
It's red.
Your wounds won't heal as fast as ours.
Why won't you use it?
I don't want to... ever!
It's unfair.
You want to get hurt without hurting anyone else.
It's unfair.
The pain of hurting someone...
You can't get hurt without hurting someone else.
That was hardly anything and you can't even move.
This is hopeless.
I can't do it.
I can't hurt someone.
I can't do it.
I can't move...
The little bird died.
But still...
It died.
I remember colors...
It died.
The colors...
The blue sky!
That's it.
I will fly to see many different colors.
And to fly, I will...
Yes...
Koha?
Why?
Why did I forget?
I couldn't leave Kagari alone back then.
I had no idea how to be friends with someone.
It was so hard.
I was always hurting.
But I like Mato.
I wanted to share my pain and sadness with someone!
Mato.
What is that?
We have no feelings.
However, some things are important to us.
Strength!
They're all...
Let's go.
The girls who are so very important to us are crying.
They're hurt.
Our precious...
precious... wounds.
I think I love Yomi after all.
I want to be with her.
I don't mind being hurt.
I'd still want to be with her!
Yomi...
Black Rock Shooter...
I will hurt you.
No matter how much I get hurt,
I will get through to your heart!
Yuu!
Call me by my name.
Yuu.
Strength!
No, please don't die!
I can't do it!
I can't handle reality.
Reality is too frightening.
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine, Yuu.
Saya is there. Mato too.
You'll have lots of friends.
Come on. Look, Yuu.
The worlds have merged.
Hearts can merge just like worlds.
I can't do it! I really can't!
Nobody will like me!
I am your soul.
I fight for you, unfeeling.
But there's more to it than that.
We have no feelings and can only act on instinct,
but that's precisely why we could never fight for someone we hate.
We love you.
We want to protect you.
We don't want to see you being sad.
We love you.
That's why we started fighting for you in the first place.
Because I... love you.
I wouldn't lie to someone I love.
The real world can be so wonderful.
Trust me.
Strength.
Strength!
Mato...
Thank you, Mato.
You taught me how wonderful the real world can be.
Strength!
You taught me about walking home with your friend.
About the beauty of the moment...
About the sweetness of a popsicle as you walk...
About the warmth of a sunset you admire together...
Mato...
We'll always be friends, right?
Of course!
Yuu, you idiot!
Strength!
Yuu!
Black Rock Shooter...
Because we love you.
Mato!
Yomi...
I'm so relieved.
Hey... I...
I have so many things I want to tell you.
I want to apologize, and I want to...
Mato...
I'm sorry if I got you hurt!
I'll be hurt too.
Let's be in pain together!
Please.
Mato...
You're like a little kid.
This world is so colorful.
Bright colors.
Warm colors.
Sparkling colors.
Whoa, this is unusual.
We didn't have to wake you up.
Shut it.
Eat your breakfast and get ready.
But he...
As well as dirty, lonely, and sad colors.
Morning!
Morning, Kagari!
Take care!
I'm going!
You want to become someone else,
but of course that's impossible.
The colors aren't all wonderful.
When you're anxious,
the other you,
who lives in your heart will tell you
that no one can live straightforward,
But even so, this world is beautiful!
and we all struggle with our problems.
There are friends who laugh with you.
We all complain.
we all grumble,
There are many different colors and things,
and our days pass like that.
We got used to being hurt and we know
all of which we will accept one by one.
that kindness and intent alone won't help you.
But we should still try to stay ourselves,
We will accept them all and grow up.
and always walk on.
We will grow up in this world.
Just how much louder do I have to shout?
Just how much more do I have to cry?
Stop it please, I can't run anymore.
The gates of the world I once dreamed of are closing.
On this dark, broken road without a shard of light,
Suddenly, I felt I found a hope that shouldn't have been there.
Oh, why?
Black Rock Shooter, all those dear memories.
I remember those fun times.
Black Rock Shooter, but I can't act anymore.
I wish upon the stars soaring through the darkness,
Because I will run one more time.
I...
I won't stop fighting.
I will continue getting hurt and bearing the pain.
I won't stop fighting in this world.
