Is there anything? 08:43.810 --> 08:45.060 Something big. 08:45.060 --> 08:46.340 And heavy. 08:46.750 --> 08:48.360 And good for stabbing. 08:57.880 --> 08:59.240 This is perfect. 08:59.460 --> 09:01.990 A giant animal's bones? 09:37.910 --> 09:39.070 I see. 09:39.560 --> 09:43.080 It's faster and heavier than I thought. 09:43.750 --> 09:49.000 It has incredibly light, incredibly tough muscles and bones. 09:49.630 --> 09:55.760 And its nervous system lets it reshape the surface of its body at will. 09:55.980 --> 09:59.330 He must have put a lot of work into making it. 09:59.880 --> 10:00.640 So... 10:01.470 --> 10:04.010 How about this? 10:07.080 --> 10:10.440 If I blind you and get behind you, 10:10.940 --> 10:12.610 I can deal you a fatal— 10:14.730 --> 10:16.230 It predicted what I'd do? 10:16.900 --> 10:17.740 No way. 10:18.000 --> 10:19.950 It dodged? Will I block in time? 10:19.950 --> 10:22.120 I might have to sacrifice an arm. 10:22.650 --> 10:24.240 I hope it doesn't hurt. 10:26.200 --> 10:28.910 "Why? Why can't I kill her?" 10:29.410 --> 10:31.290 "Since the day I picked up a knife, 10:31.290 --> 10:35.500 I've never had a problem killing anyone, Master or no." 10:35.500 --> 10:36.250 Right... 10:37.980 --> 10:39.710 Piichi? 10:42.120 --> 10:44.180 There's no mystery here. 10:44.610 --> 10:48.770 Hyakko's got my curated blend of Master bloodlines, 10:49.130 --> 10:52.270 and your blood, too. 10:54.480 --> 10:56.940 You're fighting... 10:57.250 --> 10:59.550 an upgraded version of yourself. 11:00.780 --> 11:01.780 Piichi! 11:15.070 --> 11:16.920 Do you mind getting that? 11:17.190 --> 11:18.130 Now? 11:18.880 --> 11:21.030 It's my girlfriend. 11:24.470 --> 11:27.100 Marin 11:24.730 --> 11:28.190 Piichi? You won't believe what's happening! 11:29.490 --> 11:31.920 Don't tell me Beast Clan assassins have... 11:31.920 --> 11:33.100 Get this. 11:33.520 --> 11:36.440 King Goose just announced... 11:36.440 --> 11:39.230 their tenth anniversary tour! 11:39.470 --> 11:40.950 Yay! 11:40.950 --> 11:44.920 Aomori, Aichi, Fukuoka, and the Budokan. 11:44.920 --> 11:47.120 The scramble for tickets is hell on earth. 11:50.350 --> 11:52.590 So Piichi... 11:53.630 --> 11:55.660 You'd better make room in your schedule. 11:55.660 --> 11:57.540 It'd suck traveling all that way on my own. 11:58.080 --> 11:59.170 See you. 12:03.480 --> 12:06.030 That's it? I waited for you and everything. 12:06.940 --> 12:09.870 That airhead can't read the room. 12:09.870 --> 12:14.090 I'll dump her in the same grave as her psycho boyfriend later. 12:14.880 --> 12:15.600 Kill him. 12:21.790 --> 12:23.110 Marin... 12:23.400 --> 12:26.390 knows everything. 12:27.870 --> 12:31.410 She said all that because protecting my humdrum life with her... 12:36.400 --> 12:38.690 is what gets me fired up. 12:41.020 --> 12:43.050 Offering 12:44.320 --> 12:45.400 Are you for real? 12:45.400 --> 12:48.840 It's too late to start getting serious now! 12:56.210 --> 12:57.330 I'll crush him. 12:59.070 --> 13:00.410 Piichi! 13:04.710 --> 13:06.000 How do I beat it? 13:06.000 --> 13:07.460 Does it have a weak spot? 13:07.460 --> 13:10.240 It can shapeshift? I bet they messed with its reflexes. 13:10.240 --> 13:20.780 What kind of animal is that? How do I make up for height, weight, and toughness? Maybe the joints are weak? Did they mix a bunch of animals together? I guess that makes it a chimera. It needs Masters' blood to control it. Where's its heart? What if I burrow into it now? I'd probably get dissolved. If I had a durable weapon... I looked at the bones, but I don't know. Should I put it on our café's menu? No, there are better weapons I can use. Blind it and slow it down? It has lots of eyes, though. No, that might backfire. Animal senses are no joke. Do monsters have Achilles tendons? Oh, what about cruciate ligaments? You really can't walk without those. Would the pelt sell for a lot if I skinned it? But what kind of pelt would it be? I can't sell it without a name. Maybe its weak point is its tail? Should I try pulling it? It'd be a pain if it turns out it heals as soon as I hurt it. Should I try shouting special moves if I get desperate? I don't have any special moves, though. And it's not really my style. Could I maybe tame this thing somehow? An old survival show said, "Most things are edible if you put them on a fire." "Chimera mystery BBQ" sounds too wild for a café menu. Maybe if I get behind it... But what if it attacks with its tail? I think I'm as fast as it. If hitting it doesn't work, how about heat? Would it be good as steak? Could I make good soup stock out of it? What if we use the horns for decor? Should I list chimera as "cultured meat"? Minced chimera would basically just be mixed meats, right? I bet it could fit anything in that huge mouth. What do they feed it? A poster chimera, like a poster dog? It could work. How will Marin take it when I show it to her? I hope she gets those King Goose tickets. 13:20.720 --> 13:22.500 A chimera lunch set? 13:24.470 --> 13:26.260 My thoughts have... 13:29.560 --> 13:32.270 always been a jumbled mess. 13:36.600 --> 13:37.520 But now... 13:38.850 --> 13:47.120 I can make that mess broader and deeper and freer than ever before. 13:50.030 --> 13:51.530 This guy... 13:52.680 --> 13:54.740 got one lousy phone call... 13:55.330 --> 13:56.550 and changed completely? 13:58.670 --> 14:00.460 Mind if I borrow your right arm? 14:00.460 --> 14:03.340 He got a step ahead of my predictions. 14:05.350 --> 14:09.350 I see. So this is how you move the arm. 14:09.800 --> 14:11.140 But you know... 14:11.140 --> 14:13.490 It could pack more of a punch. 14:14.640 --> 14:15.770 How about this? 14:16.600 --> 14:18.590 Yeah, that works. 14:20.460 --> 14:22.900 I'm losing my grip on the nervous system. 14:23.860 --> 14:25.990 I can't let this clown... 14:26.860 --> 14:28.250 beat me. 14:31.200 --> 14:34.160 We'll smash this crappy world together. 14:38.790 --> 14:41.080 Sorry, but... 14:44.580 --> 14:47.230 I've got to stop your boss. 14:48.970 --> 14:50.020 Piichi? 14:51.180 --> 14:53.050 A-Are you okay? 14:53.540 --> 14:57.640 Let me just lie down for five minutes. 14:57.990 --> 14:58.890 Huh? 15:07.500 --> 15:08.650 Master Toshiro. 15:10.280 --> 15:13.780 Please drain my blood to the very last drop. 15:14.480 --> 15:18.760 It would be my honor to become your flesh and blood. 15:19.970 --> 15:21.170 It really would. 15:26.000 --> 15:29.340 Okay. We'd better get out of here for now. 15:31.630 --> 15:33.090 Blood spray? 15:35.680 --> 15:38.440 Okay, Byakko. 15:39.250 --> 15:44.560 Let's bust up this crappy world full of trash together! 15:45.530 --> 15:48.580 Piichi's in no shape to be moving around just yet. 15:49.700 --> 15:50.900 At this distance... 15:51.550 --> 15:53.950 Even I can get away— 15:55.460 --> 15:57.080 Let's have some fun. 16:06.190 --> 16:08.560 Sorry I kept you waiting, Kinosaki. 16:09.520 --> 16:10.790 Gero! 16:14.050 --> 16:17.840 And the Water Master!
