Fire!
That is impressive!
I invented these jet bullets using their Piercing Cannon as a reference.
The charge inside the cartridge explodes, blasting the metal plate and melting it.
Then the explosion propels the bullet through.
In other words, even we will be able to take down the Kabane with these.
That's right.
Oh, and didn't you mention you did something with a sword too?
Yes.
I tried coating the blade with the metallic layer around the Kabane's heart.
This should improve its durability.
That's mine!
I did your share of the work as well!
So this is rightfully mine!
What the hell? Cut the crap!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Please stop!
I said, give it to me!
Hey!
Could you go do that somewhere else?
What?
Bitch!
Mind your own business!
What'd you say? Huh!?
Mumei, you're scaring me!
Please spare me!
Is that Mumei?
What in the world is she doing?
You're scaring the children!
Don't ever do it again.
Got it?
Yes. I'm sorry.
Hey.
Are you causing trouble?
No!
I stepped in to—
Make way.
Oh, did you handle this situation, Miss Mumei?
Lady Ayame!
I came because I heard a commotion, but...
Thank you, Miss Mumei.
You truly are the Iron Fortress' guardian.
Guardian?
A person who protects all.
A person who can be relied on by all.
That's right! She's real strong!
With Mumei as our guardian, we have nothing to worry about!
What are you saying?
That's stupid!
Emergency brakes?
What could have happened?
There's no response from Yashiro Station!
Have they been overrun by Kabane?
Are you certain?
Signal fire confirmed!
There appears to be survivors!
We shall send a rescue team at once!
Are you a human or a Kabane!?
Neither! I'm a Kabaneri!

Right here.
A watchtower has collapsed over the rails and is preventing us from passing.
What if we turn back and go through Ishikori Station from Nagi Mountain Pass instead?
That would take ten days to reach.
Our food supply would not last.
Yes, we had planned to resupply at this station.
They're survivors from Yashiro Station. Please give them some food and water.
Did the Kabane get you?
Yes.
Smog appeared from nowhere and engulfed us.
It was three days ago.
It came over the walls.
The rest was a scene from hell.
You guys sure are scaredy-cats.
Sorry, would it be okay if I went to the bathroom?
Sure. It's over there.
You scared?
Nope.
Not at all.
I'll wait for you outside.
It's been a while.
I never imagined I'd see you here.
Yes, it certainly has been a while.
What have you been up to?
I can still help the Young Master without being on the front-lines.
Did you need something from me?
Twenty days ago...
the Shogunate was stocking up on weapons.
And not for the Kabane.
They're weapons to kill people.
Tell the Young Master that they're acting suspiciously.
Also mention that I, Enoku, will come to his aid in this time of need.
I don't think that's going to be enough for him to welcome you back.
See you.
What now?
I didn't hear you answer.
You're no longer Brother's ear.
Try this again, and I'll kill you.
Just who is about to get killed here?
You've gotten slow, Mumei.
You shouldn't be wasting time playing nice with the people.
You are the Young Master's Claw.
Your existence holds value only when you're tearing Kabane apart.
Falter, and he will abandon you too.
Help!
Fulfill your mission, Mumei.
While you're still human.
Consider this a friendly warning from an ear who's already been tossed aside.
Is that possible?
I think so.
Please tell us more.
If you go to the boiler room at the heart of the station and light the boiler,
we'll be able to operate the central steam crane.
If we use that...
We can remove the tower?
That's right!
After that, all we'd...
Mumei?
Where have you been?
Should I go back and explain my plan from the beginning?
It's fine. Keep going.
But I hear the boiler is a nest of Kabane now.
It's a little out of the way,
but by taking this path around the crane,
they'll be forced to attack us in a single file.
We have Mumei, so there's nothing to fear.
What do you think, Lady Ayame?
Interesting.
Does anyone know how to operate the machine?
I thought we could ask Takumi and Sukari.
I'll light the boiler.
All right.
We will provide support, then.
Will you be assisting them too, Miss Mumei?
Sure.
But...
Don't expect me to fight with you.
Wh-What are you talking—
Why don't you go directly to the boiler room?
You're going around because you're scared of the Kabane, right?
I can't fight with cowards like that.
That's not it!
It's only normal to adapt the plan to prevent any deaths.
Stay back!
You'll infect me with your stupidity.
I can't be bothered with some detour.
You can all just plod along behind me.
H-Hey!
Just make sure you don't mess up operating the machine.
Wait!
Why is she acting this way?
Are you sure about this, Ikoma?
Milady, I would strongly reconsider.
We'll be fine!
We have the jet bullets I made, remember?
You're right.
We have to put our faith in this plan.
Ikoma, we're in your hands.
Yes, milady!
Falter, and he will abandon you too.
I will fight.
And kill the Kabane.
That is my sole purpose.
Mumei...
What's wrong?
Tarou died.
We won't be able to run together anymore.
His leg was hurt in the last Kabane attack.
I see.
But Tarou was lucky, wasn't he?
He was able to die before you threw him aside.
Hey!
I mean...
what good is a dog with an injured leg?
Good thing he died like this.
Are you saying that we would abandon Tarou?
I hate you.
Get out.
Get out!
Mumei!
What the hell's wrong with her?
She's just a Kabane in the end.
KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS
I'm really sorry!
There was nobody else I could ask!
D-Don't be stupid!
You'll be the one who's in the most danger.
O-Operating a crane is a piece of cake!
Are you sure the Knights are coming too?
Yes, I'm certain!
Lady Ayame gave us her word!
Fine. I do owe you, I guess.
Great! Thank you!
What were you doing?
Nothing.
Takumi and Sukari said they would help.
Yeah? That's nice.
Did something happen to you?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Why won't you fight with us?
I will,
but...
I'm just not going along with your plan.
Do whatever the hell you want, then!
But listen up!
Stay away from the boiler room!
There's no reason to charge into the heart of the enemy's nest.
Is Mumei not here?
Activating brakes.
No sign of any Kabane!
Our lives rest in your hands!
This is Kibito. Our team is deploying from Car 2!
We're not going to survive a fall from this height.
Huh?
You think you can move it?
It seems okay!
Okay, I'll leave you to it!
Be careful!
Did you replace the Piercing Cannon's gasket?
Of course!
Let's hurry!
Hey, look.
Look how mangled that column is.
What could possibly cause something like that?
What exactly is Kabane's Smog?
Mumei!
She's heading for the boiler room after I warned her not to!
Damn it!
Hey, are you going back?
What do we do, Kibito?
We can't operate the boiler ourselves.
We'll have to go after them.
Damn kids!
If this is where the enemy nest is, we'd be better off destroying it!
Ninety seconds sounds about right.
Fifty-six seconds.
I've been cut.
When did that...
There's more of them?
Well, no matter.
I haven't had enough fun yet.
The Kabane....
She did this all on her own?
Mumei!
You sure took your time.
If we followed your plan, you'd still be plodding your way there.
Come on, do it already.
What is it?
The shadow's moving.
"Shadow"? What?
What are you talk—
It's the Kabane!
What?
Are you saying that shadow is all Kabane?
That's exactly what I'm saying!
Killing the Kabane here was completely futile!
All it did was provoke them!
It can't be.
Damn it!
I-Ikoma!
Don't worry,
I'll take care of this—
Just shut up for a second!
It's running!
All right!
You got it? Come on, we need to fall back!
Mumei!
Where did she go?
Hurry up!
They're here!
Be cleansed in body and soul!
Ikoma!
There's an entire horde coming!
Leave the rest to me and get back to the Iron Fortress!
What about you, then?
I'll meet up with you at the west passage!
But...
One bite and you're finished!
Even if I get bitten, I'm a Kabaneri!
We'll be waiting for you, okay?
Damn it, hurry up!
You're weak.
What are you showing off for?
Mumei!
What are you doing?
You get back too!
I'm the Claw...
that tears Kabane apart.
Targets...
confirmed!
Ikoma said he would meet with us at the west passage?
Yes!
Mumei is strong.
I need to operate the crane!
Mumei!
Damn it!
What is it?
The crane stopped!
We can't go any further!
Hey, are you okay?
Lady Ayame,
the two Kabaneri went over the cliff!
What?
Wh-What the hell is that?
Is that...
Is that the Smog?
