The fragments mixed in with people's Voids.
Ouma Shu has acquired the Void genome,
and his king's power has returned to him.
Not only that, but he's also materialised his own Void.
I know that.
You "know"?
You can't mean...
How are you, Mana?
It's tight.
This girl is so stubborn, even though she's a fake.
But with a little more time, this will all be me.
When that happens, let's have a lot of fun...
...Triton.
houkai no shinfonii ga narihibiite
崩壊の交響曲が鳴り響いて
The symphony of ruin is echoing

The raging rain seems almost like it's made of tears

決して臆することのない強さを くれるから
It'll give us the strength to not hesitate at all
Recollection
Yahiro, you're here!
Shu was amazing.
You're not going to say anything to him?
What should I say?
There's a message from ward 24!
Gai's speaking! Hurry!
I told you the following before:
Don't interfere.
Despite that, there have been 34 attempts at physical invasions...
...and 42,000 instances of hacking.
This has led me to the conclusion:
You want to die.
You want to be destroyed.
If that's the case, I'll grant your wish.
I've decided to have this world determine your worth individually.
On the 25th of December, this world will come to an end,
and a new world will begin.
Mr. Kuhouin told me to use all of his fortune and connections to fight Gai.
Note: PMCs = Private Military Companies
I've gathered a group of PMCs for that purpose,
and I'll be combining forces with them tomorrow morning.
Ouma Shu-kun.
Will you fight together with us?
I'll ask the rest of you once more as well.
Please lend us your strength.
Before that, can somebody tell me this?
Just what the hell is Gai up to?
The fourth apocalypse.
He plans on causing a complete Lost Christmas that will sweep the whole world.
Shibucchi!
No way!
A ghost?
I'm alive.
Shu.
Gai gave me this book.
That's...
It's Doctor Ouma Kurosu's journal.
Father's?
They have the right to die knowing everything...
...and the obligation.
Shu in particular.
Isn't that your wish as someone who was a close friend of Doctor Ouma Kurosu?
Father.
A close friend?
There was a time when I could call him that.
I was still a graduate student at Tennouzu University then.
Back then, other people were just things that irritated me.
But...
Keido-san!
This paper is too beautiful!
I'm so moved that I can't stop crying!
That man... Ouma Kurosu appeared, and I knew...
...that there were people besides me standing on the same level...
...who could offer an argument and compete with me.
Then, the genome resonance theory that Kurosu constructed...
...based on my Intron RAM hypothesis...
...was showered with attention from around the world...
...as the key to solving the mysteries of evolution and natural selection.
Kurosu!
Look!
Your paper is-
Shijou Saeko.
She was famous throughout the campus as a talented woman in medical school.
At that time, she was already carrying Kurosu's child.
Before long, the two of them were married,
and they began living in Ooshima, where her family lived.
Five years after that...
Look at this, Shuuichirou!
The amino acids are bonding?!
And this is... showing a reaction to the genome resonance, right?!
Mana found the meteorite.
My thanks to her.
Just as I thought, it's a virus.
Normally the rate of infection is low,
but when it's activated by the genome resonance...
It slips into introns and multiplies explosively,
causing tissues to harden.
Then this is...?
An instrument to play the notes of genome resonance.
A trumpet of the apocalypse.
She's growing up well, isn't she?
And you are?
I'm Yuu.
A messenger of Daat.
Daat?
The meteorite has spread the seeds of the apocalypse across this island nation.
Before long, everyone in this country will become a nursery for the seeds.
When Mana finally reaches maturity as Eve,
it'll be the fourth apocalypse in the Earth's history.
Natural selection and evolution of all life will happen at the same time.
The apocalypse is the invisible hand of God.
Kurosu.
It looks like your wife's already broken out with the illness,
but you can't kill the child she's carrying.
It looks like Eve is planning on turning him into Adam.
Then Ouma Shu was born...
...at the cost of his mother's life.
The boy who was Eve's longed-for Adam.
In other words, if things continued on like this,
both of the people carrying our future would be Kurosu's children.
His blood would become the standard for the next generation.
When I thought about that, something inside me snapped.
Kurosu gave me the cold shoulder,
but what will you do, Shuuichirou?
I'll listen to what you have to say.
Smuggling illegals?
That or they were kidnapped and about to be sold.
That child was the only one alive.
You're awake.
I'm the man...
...who will become your father.
I was taken to a facility which belonged to Keido...
...where he was rearing many boys to try to discover a mate - an Adam - for Mana.
In other words, a nursery.
The endless experiments...
The artificially strengthened Apocalypse we were administered...
And then I...
Triton!
You came from the sea, so you're Triton.
It's a great name, right?
What irony.
On that day, I was trying to escape my fate,
but I became wrapped up in an even bigger one.
Isn't that right, Shu?
It's been a while!
Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice...
Are you a research student?
Nice to meet you.
This isn't the first time we've met!
I've put blankets on you when you were sleeping.
What?
I'm Keido Shuuichirou's younger sister, Haruka.
Ah, how rude of me!
Haruka
To me, a cheeky young girl with big ideas but no follow through,
who had just entered university after skipping a grade,
Kurosu was someone who really piqued my curiosity.
He left his children behind in Ooshima and immersed himself in his research, forgetting to sleep or eat.
In my eyes, he looked like a martyr fighting the virus all alone.
Shuuichirou's little sister
Haruka
Thanks as always
I'm going to marry Kurosu.
Kurosu?
You are?
He's a really lonely person.
You understand, right?
Because you're his only rival.
Do as you please.
Then I'll leave it at that.
Has the Apocalypse research progressed a bit?
More than yours has, at least.
That's what he said.
That year, I became a member of Kurosu's family.
Then I called Shu and the others out from Ooshima,
and the first Christmas we tried to spend as a family...
That's right.
It was that fated day.
2029.
December 24th.
Papa's late.
Wait, where's Shu?
He went to the bathroom, Haruka-san.
I'll be fine here with Shu.
So go get Papa, OK?
I'm sure he forgot his promise and is wrapped up in research again.
Then can I count on you?
Yeah!
The Apocalypse Virus externalises and materialises the hearts of those infected,
but I've found a genetic code that may be able to intervene in the process.
I've named it the Void genome.
With this, the illogicality of the seeds was restored to reason...
...by externalising the ambiguous "heart."
The Apocalypse is not God's providence.
We can control it with human wisdom.
That's not a nice hobby, Shuuichirou.
Peeking at other people's diaries!
Kurosu!
You solved it?
All by yourself?
The mysteries of evolution and natural selection?
I'm surprised, to be honest.
But Daat is already losing patience.
You'll be wiped out at this rate.
I'll deal with them for you.
Cooperate with me, Kurosu.
I don't need to do that.
It seems like other places do things with everyone together,
but that's just impossible for me.
Doing things as a group just makes my thinking weaker.
Don't make a fool out of me!
What's wrong?!
Are you trying to tell me I'm just wasting my time...
...working with others like a disorderly mob?!
That's not it!
I can't get a friend mixed up in this mess.
Don't lie!
You were jealous of my position, so you tried to get back at me...
...by getting results with these pathetic facilities!
What're you saying?
Why would I be jealous of you?!
I give up.
I recognise it, Kurosu.
You're definitely a genius.
But you've just made one big mistake:
we're not friends.
Kurosu-san!
No!
As I thought, your Void is something that can temporarily store the Voids of others,
at the same time absorbing Cancer cells...
...and the genetics of the Apocalypse Virus itself.
I'm glad.
Then Souta's healed now, right?
Please, Shu!
Don't use that power anymore!
No matter how hard you try to take back Inori-chan,
you could be too late already.
The transplant of Mana's consciousness into Inori was already complete back then.
But in order for her to come back completely,
it was necessary to collect...
...all of her elements that were scattered during Lost Christmas.
That's what you've been made to do for these past few months!
And now she's regained quite a bit of power.
So Gai set deadlines.
If so, then all the more reason I have to go...
...right?
Shu.
The helicopters will be taking off soon.
You'll come, right, Shu-kun?
Connect the cables!
APUs are connected!
Fuel!
Hey, what about the filters?
It's almost time.
Hey, is it OK to leave things like this, Souta?
O-Ouma-kun!
This is everybody, right?
I'm going to give back your Voids now.
Shu-kun!
Wait!
If you do that, then your power will-
But I have to.
If I die with the Voids still borrowed, then everyone else will also die.
It's fine.
I'll take on the Cancer and the virus.
Ayase.
You come, too.
Shu...
Hey!
Stop screwing around!
Yesterday you took 'em so easily,
and this time you're returning them?!
So how are you gonna fight?!
At the least, I can still shoot a gun with this arm.
That's ridiculous!
You think you can win against Gai with that, Shu?
I'm going to use this power to save Inori and everyone.
Not to bring down Gai.
Is that so strange?
I want you to take my Void with you.
If you fail, our lives are over, anyway.
Well, that's about how it is.
We're fine with that, but... how about you, Souta-kun?
It's fine.
I gave it to you.
I don't really get it, but that's fine.
What is it?!
Stop it!
No, I'm not giving it back.
Let's shake hands, Souta.
You have to shake hands to make up after a fight.
Isn't that what you said?
We can't part like this!
That's what I think.
This hand... I'm sorry, Shu!
It's not your fault.
I... was scared of you...
...and I hated being that way.
It was so painful.
I was the same.
Please, Shu... Be my friend.
Be my friend!
Souta... We're friends.
We're friends for life.
Kurosu-san was someone who could do anything by himself.
And because of that, he was always alone.
But... he was really quite lonely and wanted to be with everyone...
...and that's why he named you Shu.
Note: Shu's name 集 is used in words for groups or collecting or coming together.
sonna sekai ni nokosareta boku wa hitori nani wo omebaii?
そんな世界に残された僕は 一人何を思えばいい？
What am I to think, left alone in this world?
toki wo kasane omoi wo kasane
時を重ね 想いを重ね
As we piled up the time and piled up our feelings,
sou yatte zutto chikaku ni ite atarimae datta
そうやってずっと近くにいて 当たり前だった
I took for granted that you'd always be close to me like that.
kimi ga inakunatte sono omosa wo shittan da
君がいなくなってその重さを知ったんだ
Now you're gone, and I realised the gravity of it.
ano hi sono te wo hanassazu tsuyoku tsukamaeteta nara
あの日その手を離さず 強くつかまえてたなら
Even if on that day I'd tightly grabbed your hand without letting go,
boku wa kekkyoku hitori de jikomanzoku shiteita dake
僕は結局一人で自己満足していただけ
I would've just been self-complacent with being alone
marude kore ja usotsuki da kimi no tame toka icchatte
まるでこれじゃ嘘つきだ 君のためとか言っちゃって
It seems almost as if I'm a liar, saying it was for your sake
sou tsubuyaita kotoba de sae todokanakute
そう呟いた言葉でさえ届かなくて
When even those words I whispered didn't reach you
hashire kimi no moto he
走れ 君の元へ
I'm running to where you are
boku wa nando datte
僕は何度だって
However many times it takes
korondeyaru mayotteyaru
転んでやる 迷ってやる
Stumbling along and getting lost
matteite ima suguni iku kara
待っていて 今すぐに行くから
Wait because I'm coming for you soon
donna konnan ga soko ni attemo
どんな 困難がそこにあっても
No matter what troubles lie ahead
