UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
Sorry I'm late.
Kaoru, perfect timing.
Captain! Your leg!
Shiki...
He's still breathing, barely.
Idiots like him are supposed to be this tough.
Take Ichinose to the Medical Unit.
Yes, sir.
Oh, yeah.
For the sake of Ichinose's honor, let me make one thing clear.
The hospital fire was started by your—
I know.
When I saw the power of the Enki, I realized it.
If Shiki had really been the culprit,
it wouldn't have ended with just a simple fire like that.
Oh, yeah?
Well, whatever.
My stamina's gone.
I can't fight for a while.
Guess it's your lucky day. You can kill me easily.
I'm not going to kill you.
Huh?
You're not gonna kill me?
Why?
Your goal is to bring the Momotaro to the negotiating table?
That's right.
We'll use force if necessary, but only the bare minimum.
We're not trying to wipe out the Momotaro.
So that's what you've been thinking. I see.
But still...
to make that happen, there's a huge wall standing in the way.
After seeing Shiki's rampage, I could sense how dangerous things really are.
If Momotaro and Oni are to coexist,
I believe these rampages must be resolved.
Didn't need you to tell me that.
But it's complicated.
Let's go, Mudano.
Wait, please!
Please tell Shiki I'm sorry.
Apologies don't mean anything unless they come from your own mouth.
But how am I supposed to look him in the eyes?
I did something unforgivable to him.
He probably doesn't even want to see me again.
He's a simpleton, but he understands people's feelings.
What matters is how you face him.
I'm not passing along your apology.
That's all.
What can I do?
He's used too much blood. Regeneration can't keep up!
- Stop the bleeding! Now! - Yes, sir!
His breathing and pulse are weakening!
The bleeding's getting worse!
I hope Shiki and Yaoroshi will be okay.
That dumbass.
Acts all high and mighty, then nearly gets himself killed.
Captain, you should get treated, too.
I can wait.
Kaoru...
You're taking over as the next Captain.
I'm too lazy for handovers and all that, so just take the reins.
Huh?
With this leg, I can't fight in the field anymore.
I've always known this day would come.
It just happened to be today.
What's with the gloomy faces?
What are you doing here?
What do you mean, what am I doing?
The battlefield called to me...
...so I came! Surprised?
Hey, Danny! Still looking dead in the eyes, huh?
Oh, cute kid!
If you get hurt, say something right away, okay?
Terrible posture, though, like a cat.
Masu! Long time no see.
Wait, what happened to your right leg? It's gone!
I used to think you just never changed your expression,
but turns out you really are a robot.
Still can't shut up, can you?
I'll fix your leg later, too, Masu.
But first, let's heal the promising young ones, shall we?
Hey there, everyone! Kyoya's here to save the day!
Doctor!
Dr. Oiranzaka!
All right, let's keep that blood coming!
As long as I'm here, no one's future is gonna get stolen.
If I had a cooler head, maybe I would have realized...
that this was all your doing.
I let my own weakness show.
Tsukuyomi's fortune telling said someone needed to be weeded out,
but that person was you, not Shiki.
Your deeds are unforgivable.
At the very least, repent for your sins in the afterlife.
But...
the way you kept pushing forward was truly admirable.
Huh? Where am I?
M-Morning.
The flirtatious physician?
Even I get worn out sometimes.
What are you doing here? And, damn, you look exhausted!
You're loud the second you wake up!
Yaoroshi, too? What are you doin' here?
Looks like he's awake! Shiki, are you okay?
Can't believe you even recovered from that!
Was it really that bad?
Yeah, man, straight-up nightmare material.
Seriously?
My memory's all spotty.
But I feel like I'm startin' to remember.
I'm so, so sorry!
Sliding grovel!
I remember now! I blew your leg off!
I'm really, really sorry!
Better be, you little punk.
It's healed?
Forget my leg.
The problem is that you lost control.
One wrong move, and a lot of civilians would have died...
all because you're weak in both body and mind.
We were lucky, and no one died this time.
But next time, you will kill someone.
And don't forget this, all of you.
You each have the power to easily take a life.
And if you lose control,
that power will turn on everything around you indiscriminately.
Never forget how terrifying that truly is.
So get stronger.
Strong enough that you'll never have to rely on losing control again.
Yes, sir.
Well, at least this means you don't have to retire.
Tch!
Just when I was looking forward to finally taking it easy.
Dr. Oiranzaka's ability really is incredible.
He completely healed Shiki's wounds.
Me?
It was thanks to Shiki's own recovery ability.
It's extraordinary. I think it's connected to Kishin's blood.
Actually, that's what I came here to talk to you about.
It's a bit of a complicated topic. Want to talk one-on-one?
Huh?
Tell me more.
I'm curious about this "Kishin blood."
It's fine by me if we talk about it here.
Got it. Okay.
There's plenty to talk about,
but let's start with the basics, what exactly Kishin blood is.
The origin of all Oni, the Kishin.
And those who inherited the Kishin blood are called the Children of Kishin.
And, Shiki, that's what you are.
What? Shiki's parents were Kishin? That's awesome!
Nah, I don't know anything about my biological parents.
Sorry! That was super insensitive of me!
It's fine.
ONI
All Oni, at the root, descend from the Kishin's scattered seed.
KISHIN
If you trace it back far enough, we're all connected to the Kishin.
PERSON
KISHIN
PERSON ONI
Among Oni every so often, a child is born
that Kishin's blood manifests in more strongly than the rest.
They say one appears whenever Oni are on the brink of extinction,
but the details are unclear.
THUNDER
WIND
The Kishin's blood manifests in eight distinct traits.
FIRE
DARKNESS
THUNDER WATER
DARKNESS LIGHT
WIND EARTH
FIRE ICE
Yours is the trait of fire.
FIRE
ENKI
You're what we call an Enki, a Flame Oni.
Enki...
The Kishin's traits are extraordinary.
They say the power of a Child of Kishin
rivals or even surpasses that of the berserk state.
Huh? But I felt stronger when I was berserk.
That's because you've only been using about 10% of your Enki power.
Ten percent?
Yeah, it's not like you can suddenly use it fully right off the bat.
You'll need to grow stronger, both in mind and body.
Oh, and one more thing.
Compared to other Oni, your regeneration is also much faster.
That's probably why your wounds healed up so perfectly this time.
Straight-up cheat-level stuff.
Yeah, it's basically a cheat power.
But that abnormal strength comes at a price.
Every Child of Kishin in history has died young.
Think of that immense power as something given in exchange for your lifespan.
If you overuse it, you could die as early as your teens.
It's not uncommon. So, yeah, maybe try not to go overboard.
As long as you don't depend too much on the Kishin power, you'll be fine.
Way too casual!
Just being a Child of Kishin makes you a target for the Momotaro.
And the more you're targeted,
the more often you'll end up having to use that power.
Damn, seriously?
Again, as long as you don't overuse it, you'll probably be fine.
No need to get so down about it.
Oh, wait! I just remembered.
I got carried here completely naked!
Huh?
That means everyone saw me!
Wha?
Can't believe you don't even have any hair down there.
Don't talk about it!
You're seriously hairless?
I'm not! It just burned off, okay?
Homare! I don't have any, either.
What do you think about that?
What?
What about you? Let's see yours.
Huh?
What woman will want me?
Glad to see he's still got some spirit.
Not so sure about that.
Dying in my teens, huh?
Don't tell me you're sulking. That's not like you.
Don't scare me, jackass!
And for the record, I'm not sulking! What are you even talking about?
I don't have Kishin's power.
But I'm gonna get strong enough to crush the Momotaro without ever needing it.
You should get strong enough
that you don't need to rely on that kind of power, either.
Getting depressed over something so simple is pathetic.
What's this? You here to cheer me up?
You?
Are you plotting something?
Yeah, right, pubeless!
I'll kill you!
You little...
Jeez.
Annoying jerk.
NO SKATEBOARDING ALLOWED
Finally heading home, eh? Good riddance.
Doctor Dude, you goin' back to Kyoto?
Nah, not this time.
I'm the new school doctor at Rasetsu Academy starting today.
You'll be seeing a lot of me!
Wait, what?
I'm worried you'll make a move on a student.
I can't help it. Doing the wrong thing's just more exciting.
Yeah, more like he'll be there to keep an eye on Ichinose.
If we go down from here, we can leave without being seen.
Guess that's goodbye to Nerima, then.
See ya!
You blow off someone's leg and still have the nerve to smile on your way out?
Don't ever come back.
I'm sorry!
This guy...
he'll probably keep griping forever, but still, come visit again sometime.
Let's just make sure we live long enough to meet again.
Kaoru, stay sharp!
Huh?
Wait, that's...
Mikado?
Kaoru, how many Momotaro are around us?
Actually, there aren't any.
He's the only one here.
Mikado!
Hey, you! Mikado!
Because of your damn misunderstanding, I went through hell, you know that?
Yeah, I lost control, fine, but if you hadn't been tricked in the first place,
none of that would have happened!
You act all smart,
but when it really counts, you're a total idiot! Moron!
He's right.
Because of my own incompetence, I put everyone through so much pain.
An apology isn't enough.
But still...
my consciousness was fading in and out then, but I can at least say this.
I could hear your voice, you know.
Please...
don't die!
Hearin' that made me really happy.
You spoke from the heart, and I think that's why I was able to fight back
against the berserk state 'til the very end.
Sorry, man.
You saved me.
Shiki...
you're such a warm person.
I'm sorry!
Don't sweat it!
We'll meet again, yeah?
We definitely will.
I already know what I have to do.
NERIMA TOUGEN HOSPITAL
Quite the flashy defeat, huh?
Guess for us both.
Shut up.
Don't be so touchy.
I ain't touchy!
But the fortunate thing is we're still alive.
This way!
Wait up!
Whoa.
I'm sorry!
No, my bad. Are you okay?
Yeah! I'm fine!
Good.
Papa!
I'm hungry!
I'm starving, too.
Well, we're all alive and getting out of the hospital,
so how about we celebrate with a big meal?
Pancakes!
Hamburg steak!
You know something?
As long as you're alive, you can always try again.
And I assume you have revenge in mind?
Bet your ass I do!
How long does the friggin' tunnel go on for?
Man, I just wanna take it easy for a while.
I don't know.
Training starts again tomorrow.
That sucks!
Why didn't we just finish off that Momotaro back there, huh?
I'm not ready to leave Tokyo yet!
Homare! Let's go to Destinyland!
- Okay? Yeah? - Uh, what?
You're tired, huh, Rokuro?
I'll give you a massage when we get back.
All night long.
- N-No, I'm fine. - Don't be shy.
You're standing a little too close.
You guys sure have fun, huh, Danny?
Quiet, all of you.
NERIMA ARC: THE END
Action!
Harahara hara
Hey
Harahara hara
Oh oh oh
Harahara hara
Hey
Harahara hara
Oh oh oh
A moonlit night
Tonight is the ultimate voltage
Our meeting was so emotional
Oh oh oh
I always figured we'd face off like this one day
Oh, give me your words
Even if I believe, there's no going back
Oh, before I fall head over heels for you
Dive me out
Last dance
Let's dive deep into love
I want to try dancing with you
Is it already checkmate?
This charming little sparring match
Good or evil, none of it matters
Harahara hara
Hey
Harahara
- Do you think - Hara
- I'm so crazy? - Oh oh oh
Harahara hara
Hey
Harahara
- Do you think I'm so crazy? - Hara oh oh oh
If I told Dad I'm actually going to school, even sorta,
he'd probably be pleased.
Wait, they made a Momotaro's grave here at the Oni base?
That's surprisingly chill of them.
Whoa! Professor Mudano!
He's got a tattoo?
Maybe I'll get a closer look.
Hold it right there.
Huh? Doctor Dude!
Hey there.
Don't go bothering Danny right now.
He's at the graveyard. You know what that means.
Yeah, guess you're right.
That's a blackout tattoo, isn't it, the kind that's mostly solid black ink?
Oh, you know your stuff.
That's awesome! Is it like, all over his body?
Pretty much, yeah.
But he says it's still unfinished.
Unfinished, huh?
Then when it's done, I wanna see it!
I don't think Danny ever wants that tattoo to be finished.
Huh? Why not?
Because that tattoo gets added to every time one of his comrades dies.
In other words, every step closer that tattoo gets to being finished
means another comrade has died.
Maybe it's so he never forgets, or maybe it's his way of punishing himself.
Danny's a tough cookie, right?
No question.
I think it's because he wants you to grow stronger so you can keep on living.
If you can see his strictness as another form of care,
that'd make me happy, as Danny's friend.
I hate inefficiency.
Oni blood is powerful but hard to control.
When you go berserk, you lose both your self and your memory.
And you destroy everything in the process.
A knife in the hands of the ignorant is a terrifying thing.
Kill me if you want.
If you succeed, you graduate instantly,
and you'll be assigned to the unit of your choice.
If you die chasing your goal, it's meaningless.
Live for your goal.
If you hate that, then fight.
Drag them by the ears if you have to, but make them listen.
The words of those who won't fight don't reach anyone.
Professor Mudano!
I'm not gonna die!
I'll get so damn strong that nobody around me ever dies again!
Sorry, but that tattoo of yours is stayin' unfinished forever!
So yeah.
You can be as strict as you want from now on. I can handle it!
Don't shout in a graveyard.
It's inappropriate.
That's his way of showing affection, huh?
No, that was just a normal warning.
What?
