WEBVTT
00:34.010 --> 00:36.750
You're up late, aren't you?
00:37.870 --> 00:40.050
It's 4 a.m.
00:40.050 --> 00:42.660
We set out tomorrow, you know.
00:44.750 --> 00:48.330
Riyo... wh-what are you doing in my room?
00:48.330 --> 00:51.250
When did you... and how...
00:51.810 --> 00:54.730
My room's right above yours.
00:54.730 --> 00:56.750
I heard all the moaning and groaning,
00:56.750 --> 00:59.160
so I got worried and
came in through the window.
00:59.490 --> 01:00.540
The wi—
01:00.540 --> 01:03.130
Right. Sorry.
01:04.120 --> 01:07.070
But... she's on my bed...
01:10.220 --> 01:11.920
Is it because of your hands?
01:13.950 --> 01:17.090
They don't hurt as much
when I've got the gloves on.
01:17.810 --> 01:20.070
But I've still got to wash them now and then.
01:23.910 --> 01:25.870
Those wounds look nasty.
01:25.870 --> 01:28.900
They don't look exactly like burns...
01:30.350 --> 01:32.860
You'd have to ask my asshole parents.
01:36.180 --> 01:39.200
Parents give us a lot of things, don't they?
01:42.350 --> 01:44.080
Good things...
01:45.420 --> 01:46.960
and bad.
03:42.920 --> 03:45.680
Looks like it might be a while yet.
03:46.890 --> 03:50.850
Episode 9
03:46.890 --> 03:50.850
"The City of Graffiti"
03:52.050 --> 03:53.590
Anyway.
03:54.040 --> 03:56.440
Since Rudo's full-face isn't done yet,
03:56.440 --> 04:00.110
I'd like you to head out
for the last of your prep first.
04:00.580 --> 04:03.770
"Full-face"? Prep?
04:04.270 --> 04:10.440
There's a thing we Cleaners are obligated
to wear when we enter a No Man's Land.
04:10.850 --> 04:11.820
This here.
04:11.820 --> 04:13.710
Hey, I remember that.
04:13.710 --> 04:17.010
We Cleaners have an artist in our ranks.
04:17.330 --> 04:21.200
He makes our full-faces and our clothing.
04:21.620 --> 04:25.370
But he freaks out if we give him a deadline,
and his work quality suffers,
04:25.370 --> 04:27.670
so we tend to just go at his pace.
04:28.050 --> 04:31.040
He went off on Zanka
for trying to rush him one time.
04:34.130 --> 04:38.050
So in the meantime,
you'll do the rest of your prep...
04:38.440 --> 04:43.030
Well, phrased simply,
you'll have a spell cast on you.
04:44.740 --> 04:47.490
You never know what might
happen in a No Man's Land.
04:47.870 --> 04:51.740
You step on some innocuous trash, and boom.
04:51.740 --> 04:55.090
Suddenly, you're trash beast food—
it happens all the time.
04:57.320 --> 05:03.020
To minimize that risk,
we have a particular Giver cast—
05:03.020 --> 05:05.790
or rather, draw—a spell on you.
05:05.790 --> 05:06.910
Draw?
05:07.610 --> 05:12.460
The boss gives him free rein, so he comes to
draw here at Cleaner HQ sometimes too,
05:12.830 --> 05:14.690
but we haven't seen him in a while.
05:14.690 --> 05:16.340
I suppose he's busy.
05:16.340 --> 05:19.840
I wish he were here. It'd save us a trip.
05:20.810 --> 05:24.110
So what's going on?
Where are we actually going?
05:25.830 --> 05:29.240
The City of Graffiti, Canvas Town.
05:30.490 --> 05:35.830
And the team who'll be coming to see
the No Man's Land woman with us...
05:44.750 --> 05:46.120
These guys.
05:48.300 --> 05:53.000
From "Akuta," we've got Zanka, Riyo, and me.
05:53.460 --> 05:57.020
From "Eager," we've got Delmon and Tamsy.
05:57.470 --> 06:01.020
Then we've got supporters—
Gris, Follo, and Tomme.
06:01.570 --> 06:04.680
You typically want to run
with teams of five supporters,
06:04.680 --> 06:08.710
but when going into a No Man's Land,
we minimize the number of unpowered supporters
06:08.710 --> 06:11.510
and up the Giver count instead.
06:15.000 --> 06:16.580
Rudo!
06:16.810 --> 06:19.340
I heard your life story!
06:19.340 --> 06:21.930
You've been through hell, kid!
06:21.930 --> 06:26.660
I can't believe anyone would treat
one of their own that way! Unforgivable!
06:26.660 --> 06:29.910
I like people with passion like yours!
06:29.910 --> 06:31.640
You should join Eager—
06:31.640 --> 06:33.100
Lay off, Delmon.
06:34.830 --> 06:37.080
Enjin recruited Rudo.
06:37.080 --> 06:39.310
That means he's Akuta.
06:40.100 --> 06:41.560
Sorry, Rudo.
06:41.950 --> 06:44.250
He's really a good person.
06:44.250 --> 06:45.200
That said...
06:45.800 --> 06:49.930
I also like people with passion.
06:50.370 --> 06:52.490
Since we've got Mr. Passion
himself right here,
06:52.490 --> 06:56.340
Delmon, how about one of
your trademark speeches?
07:06.590 --> 07:11.720
Let's get going to Canvas Town!
07:13.220 --> 07:17.820
The road will be rocky and perilous!
07:17.820 --> 07:19.090
However!
07:19.090 --> 07:21.080
We shall never falter!
07:21.080 --> 07:25.770
For we are the Cleaners!
08:15.810 --> 08:19.400
Hey, watch it! You messed up my lines!
08:19.400 --> 08:21.010
You're pissin' me off!
08:21.010 --> 08:22.640
Sorry!
09:15.020 --> 09:18.260
Are all cities on the Ground built like this?
09:19.960 --> 09:23.030
Most of the big cities have
the dome thing going on.
09:23.610 --> 09:26.590
It protects them from Sphere litter.
09:27.050 --> 09:28.340
Litter?
09:28.750 --> 09:31.920
Yeah. Trash thrown from the Sphere.
09:31.920 --> 09:36.260
Most people who can't make it in a city
and have to live in the open
09:36.260 --> 09:38.650
end up crushed by "trash rain."
09:39.480 --> 09:42.100
Don't let it bother you, though.
09:42.100 --> 09:45.790
It's the fault of the people
who propagate that culture.
09:50.470 --> 09:52.470
Huh? Huh?
09:52.470 --> 09:54.220
What the heck?
09:55.490 --> 09:57.040
What are you doing...
09:57.040 --> 09:58.910
Well... it's just...
09:58.910 --> 10:00.680
There's something weird about this city.
10:02.340 --> 10:05.870
The door's open, but I can't go in.
10:07.790 --> 10:09.240
No freaking w—
10:12.150 --> 10:14.970
No way. What's going on here?
10:27.630 --> 10:31.110
Don't worry, Rudo. Just walk on in.
10:31.740 --> 10:34.640
So long as you're not
planning any funny business,
10:34.640 --> 10:36.550
you can come and go as you please.
11:03.040 --> 11:05.620
So much art...
11:06.010 --> 11:08.960
Yeah, it really is a sight, isn't it?
11:09.230 --> 11:12.770
Plenty of people on the Ground like to paint,
11:12.770 --> 11:15.840
but not everyone thinks highly of it.
11:16.230 --> 11:22.080
So, legend has it, they made Canvas Town
so they can make art wherever they like.
11:23.100 --> 11:25.820
It gets even more painted every time I come.
11:25.820 --> 11:28.240
Really is like the whole town's a canvas.
11:28.240 --> 11:32.940
Corvus says they used to
call it the City of Art.
11:32.940 --> 11:35.540
Hey, Delmon, you've got paint on you.
11:37.690 --> 11:40.570
Huh? Did we come here to look at art?
11:41.230 --> 11:42.430
No.
11:42.430 --> 11:48.040
We came to meet the artist Giver
who's based out of here.
11:48.540 --> 11:52.860
He's got the power to put a protective
spell on anything he draws on.
11:53.340 --> 11:55.020
A protective spell?
11:57.050 --> 11:59.030
How to explain...
12:00.350 --> 12:05.490
For instance,
"Negate one attack on this wall."
12:05.490 --> 12:08.430
He channels that kind of... feeling?
Meaning? Into his drawing,
12:08.430 --> 12:10.950
and it ends up applying to the wall.
12:12.020 --> 12:13.610
Kind of like that.
12:13.950 --> 12:18.140
Remember those two punks
who couldn't enter the town?
12:18.140 --> 12:20.740
It's because the Giver drew the spell
12:20.740 --> 12:26.370
"Don't let people with bad intentions
into the city" on the outside wall.
12:26.850 --> 12:29.880
They probably had some nasty stuff planned.
12:31.420 --> 12:34.210
It sounds like a flexible power.
12:34.210 --> 12:36.920
Well, his vital instrument's a rare breed.
12:37.360 --> 12:39.240
It's not actually his, per se.
12:39.240 --> 12:41.090
It's handed down through—
12:42.860 --> 12:44.190
Hey, there.
12:44.190 --> 12:45.180
Sorry.
12:45.600 --> 12:46.780
You okay?
12:58.780 --> 13:00.600
You made that kid cry.
13:01.220 --> 13:03.560
Enjin made a kid cry!
13:04.290 --> 13:06.540
Ah, shit.
13:06.540 --> 13:09.320
You're here earlier than expected, Cleaners.
13:12.040 --> 13:13.860
Mr. Mayor?!
13:16.650 --> 13:19.730
Thought we'd find you
in your house like usual.
13:19.730 --> 13:22.070
We came to ask Gob for some spells again.
13:22.070 --> 13:24.070
Where can we find him today?
13:24.070 --> 13:25.510
Gob?
13:26.600 --> 13:28.250
I'm sorry to tell you...
13:30.170 --> 13:34.440
He died this morning.
13:49.200 --> 13:52.700
There's plenty more script I wanna tag.
13:58.930 --> 14:00.140
Are you serious?
14:01.690 --> 14:03.640
Body pollution.
14:04.040 --> 14:07.280
Gob couldn't be satisfied in the safe zones.
14:07.280 --> 14:10.180
He wanted to paint
in the polluted zones too.
14:11.020 --> 14:16.560
I'll bet he went maskless more than a
few times, so focused on the joy of art...
14:17.220 --> 14:21.880
After I warned him
time and again to wear it.
14:39.250 --> 14:41.390
Watch this one, Rudo.
14:41.390 --> 14:43.180
That's Gob.
14:43.180 --> 14:47.170
That's a guy who never deviates
from what he wants to do.
15:00.830 --> 15:05.530
Sorry. It's rotten news
to have sprung on you.
15:05.770 --> 15:08.090
Don't sweat it. We...
15:09.040 --> 15:11.130
Seriously, don't let it bother you.
15:12.750 --> 15:15.260
It's a common cause of death
here on the Ground.
15:17.970 --> 15:22.020
He already had his successor picked out.
15:23.920 --> 15:27.420
The heir to his generational
vital instrument.
15:37.570 --> 15:41.900
The successor is always chosen
by the previous user.
15:42.790 --> 15:46.110
I don't know what standard they use,
15:46.110 --> 15:50.740
whether it's drawing skill
or something deeper.
15:51.620 --> 15:58.910
But whoever inherits this pen
always awakens powers as a Giver,
15:58.910 --> 16:02.090
and takes on the job of spellcaster.
16:04.900 --> 16:08.000
This child is Remlin Tysark,
16:08.000 --> 16:13.220
the appointed spellcaster after Gob.
16:13.460 --> 16:18.680
Inheriting this pen is
a tremendous honor for any artist.
16:19.280 --> 16:22.820
But for one so young...
16:25.010 --> 16:28.850
The spellcaster is like
the city's spokesperson.
16:28.850 --> 16:32.720
Can someone so young
withstand such pressure?
16:39.760 --> 16:42.750
Yeah, there are people
who can become Givers right away.
16:43.990 --> 16:48.650
An object needs to be taken care of for
a long time to become a vital instrument,
16:49.190 --> 16:52.270
but those who already
have high Giver potential,
16:52.270 --> 16:55.400
even if they don't have their
own object, can become a Giver
16:55.400 --> 16:57.580
the moment they take
an instrument in their hand.
16:58.940 --> 17:01.810
Assuming the quality
is high enough, of course.
17:03.430 --> 17:08.070
Though, if Zanka's to be believed,
there's aptitude involved there, too.
17:09.090 --> 17:10.760
Aptitude aside,
17:10.760 --> 17:14.550
the idea of passing on a vital instrument
is a rare thing in itself.
17:14.990 --> 17:16.090
True.
17:17.470 --> 17:19.480
Passing on a vital instrument...
17:21.380 --> 17:26.870
Enjin. I'm sorry to say,
but this may take quite some time.
17:26.870 --> 17:29.560
Seriously, don't worry about us.
17:29.560 --> 17:31.160
There's no need to rush.
17:31.870 --> 17:37.940
Remlin and Gob were close.
Almost like siblings, I'd wager.
17:39.110 --> 17:42.390
Then for this to strike... so suddenly...
17:46.640 --> 17:51.020
Gob really did paint with so much joy.
17:52.890 --> 17:58.440
You could tell how much he loved it,
whether or not it was a request.
17:59.170 --> 18:05.170
I'm not an artist myself,
but I became the mayor here
18:05.170 --> 18:07.630
because I wanted to protect that sight.
18:10.210 --> 18:11.530
I get it.
18:16.340 --> 18:20.120
He'd drop by the Cleaners whenever
he wanted, paint what he wanted,
18:20.370 --> 18:22.820
and leave when he wanted.
18:24.950 --> 18:29.750
The way he'd grin when he ran off...
Guess I'll never see it again.
18:38.500 --> 18:42.060
Well, we'd better be going.
18:42.570 --> 18:45.430
Yes. I'm truly sorry.
18:47.440 --> 18:49.960
Remlin, was it?
18:53.310 --> 18:55.020
We'll come hang out again.
18:55.460 --> 18:56.800
Take care.
19:03.510 --> 19:07.170
No more!
19:10.000 --> 19:12.130
No more, no more, no more!
19:14.020 --> 19:15.760
No more dark stuff!
19:17.390 --> 19:18.580
Celebrate!
19:46.770 --> 19:49.150
R-Remlin?
19:49.560 --> 19:51.230
I had a thought.
19:51.230 --> 19:54.600
It hurts that Gob died,
and I feel sad about it.
19:55.540 --> 19:59.940
But Gob can't enjoy his afterlife
if we're all weepy out here.
20:00.660 --> 20:01.660
So...
20:03.220 --> 20:04.560
Because of that...
21:05.810 --> 21:09.650
Let's party!
21:30.880 --> 21:34.420
Let's celebrate his life
with parties, painting, and joy.
21:42.230 --> 21:44.500
I'm sorry, Enjin.
21:44.500 --> 21:47.990
It looks like you won't get
your spells for a while yet.
21:48.640 --> 21:50.010
I figured.
21:51.440 --> 21:53.290
This is Canvas Town,
21:53.840 --> 21:56.330
the city of freedom and joy.
