Your powers are not to be used for evil.
They exist to protect.
I'm Totsuka Tatara.
What's your name?
A nice night out, you say?
Oh, it most certainly is!
Mikoto...
Don't go!
Damn it...
Worries slowly come and kiss.
Tell me, what's your name?
Mata hikareatte wa kurabe au koto de kenashite
また惹かれ合っては 比べ合うことでけなして
We speak ill of each other, as if we're still being drawn together, by comparing one another
Nando yoru ga meguroutomo
何度夜が巡ろうとも
No matter how many nights pass,
makkurayami no dokka de kaketa jibun no piece dattara
真っ暗闇のどっかで 欠けた自分のpieceだったら
If somewhere in the darkness is a broken piece of me,
search and kiss and destroy
I'll search and kiss and destroy
Big bang Yaban'na jounetsu reiseina shoutotsu
big bang 野蛮な情熱 冷静な衝突
A barbarous passion and a serene conflict.
「Chi wo mirumade」 Yousha wa shinai no
血を見るまで 容赦はしないの?
Will you not let me go until you see my blood?
Big Bang Tashikametai tsunagatteitai hontou wa kowai no
big bang 確かめたい 繋がっていたい 本当は恐いの?
I want to make sure, I want to be connected, but is the truth that I'm scared?
Mikanseina ai wo gutto furikazashite
未完成な愛を ぐっと振りかざして
Firmly waving over incomplete love,
Wakaritai wakaranai wakarazuya
分かりたい 分からない 分からず屋
I want to understand. But I don't, I am a fool
aihan suru seigi ni tsudou yakara sa
相反する正義に 集う輩さ
People gathering against the conflicting justice;
Isshun no yasuragi ni yorisotte
一瞬の安らぎに寄り添って
Cuddling close together in a moment of serenity.
I was there watching it, remember?
Maybe, but I don't remember exactly...
Don't recall.
I'm not in here...
Here you go!
Three grilled fish lunches!
Hey.
Snap out of it.
Let me remind you. We are not done.
Huh? With what?
You're not out of the water yet.
If you aren't the murderer,
then someone must have framed you.
Oh, I see.
You have a point.
Yay!
We're only eating here because you kept whining about being hungry.
Now stop acting like a dog for a second.
Sir, what are all these photos?
Oh...
They're photos of my regulars.
They've always been there.
I don't see mine up here.
Really? That's strange.
You're one of my most regular customers.
Shiro?
And more soda on Thursday.
Thanks, bye.
It's awfully early, but would you mind?
How can I refuse such a beautiful lady?
Not to mention you looked after my boys.
What'll you have?
Lieutenant Awashima Seri of Scepter 4...
...also known as "The Heartless Woman".
Mind not telling your boys such ridiculous things?
But Seri-chan, your heart is ice cold.
Martini.
Oui, mademoiselle.
How would you like it today?
Let's see... four parts gin to one part vermouth.
And... five scoops of red bean paste, please.
red bean paste
Oui, mademoiselle.
That's the one thing I'll never be able to understand about you, Seri-chan.
What is the red king thinking?
Oh, right.
Sounds like our boss has been giving you guys a hard time.
You seem quite unperturbed, considering your king is another king's prisoner.
What are you up to?
Hey, that's not a nice thing to say.
I don't understand how you can act so nonchalant.
I'm sure you're aware, right?
Of what?
The red king's Weismann level is reaching its limit.
You know what will happen...
...if he continues to exceed the limit, don't you?
You're referring to the Kagutsu Crater?
Now that's a disturbing thought.
That just shows how powerful a king is.
If they lose control
Japan's topography will change dramatically, just like last time.
Are you telling me you're okay with watching this city get blown off the map?
That's why he's with you.
At least you have someone who can stop him.
He probably wanted to get some sleep without worrying about
burning everything around him to the ground.
As far as I know, he's always been terrible with stuff like self-control and patience.
He has no right to be a king.
He probably would have been happier if he had been born as a lion frolicking in a savannah somewhere.
You're quite sentimental, aren't you?
Fine.
We'll just do our job.
Thanks.
Those belonged to one of our guys.
He was a guy with a lot of expensive hobbies.
Thanks to him, my bar looks like a total mess.
By the way, Mikoto.
I understand that some middle school kid's been stalking you lately.
You mean that annoying brat?
You hate to keep friends, and hate people kissing your arse,
yet he keeps hanging around you.
That kid's got balls.
This is Homura.
Uh, okay...
Thanks.
How should I tell you this?
Tell me what?
It's about that kid who wants to work for you...
He was beaten up on the street and taken to the hospital.
Hey!
What brings you here, King?
King?
Who did this to you?
Look, kid...
If you hang around this guy, you'll end up like that again.
You might think you'll be safe near someone so strong, but you'd be wrong.
Okay, I'll be careful from now on.
Kid, let me say this again...
I asked who did this to you.
Before I tell you, King...
I have a huge favour to ask.
Will you hear me out?
My foot...
...it really really itches!
Could you scratch it for me?
Yay!
Ouch!
You're one reckless kid.
Don't blame me if he kills you.
Don't worry, it'll all work out.
I'm going to become the king's vassal.
Huh?
That guy's going to go places.
He might become like a real king, don't you think?
You...
How am I supposed to read this?
I don't know.
What good is a note if you can't read it?!
Oh, wait, wait...
I'm trying to remember what I had in mind when I wrote it.
You...
Forget it.
It'd be faster if I just called and asked Kukuri.
What now?!
Why're you calling her?
What do you mean, why?
I asked her for her phone number just for this purpose.
You can go back and ask her in person!
Hey, Shiro, let's go back!
What do we need to go back for?!
Why do you think phones were invented?
I hate telephones!
Why?
Neko...
What was that about?
Hello?
It's me, Isana.
We're here to buy the fireworks, but...
Isana-san...
Do I know you?
What're you talking about?
It's me, Isana Yashiro.
You know... Shiro.
Shiro?
I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named Shiro.
I think you got the wrong number.
Hey, give me that.
What just happened?
Kukuri didn't recognise me.
She said she doesn't know of any Isana Yashiro.
Was that some sort of joke?
She didn't sound like she was joking.
Neko was acting strangely.
She might've done something to Kukuri.
Anyway, let's head back to the school.
Hey, Kurou...
...can I borrow your phone again?
What do you need it for?
I'm going to call home.
Why?
I want somebody to tell me that I'm really Isana Yashiro.
Hello? This is Yashiro-
The number you have dialled is not in service at this time.
Please check the number and dial again...
Is everything okay?
What do you mean?
He looks really burnt out...
Tonight's dinner is Tom Yam Goong.
You're here?
Of course.
This is where I take my afternoon naps.
Thank you for your hard work.
What work?
It was just a feeble scuffle.
Kusanagi-san was complaining about how
you really didn't have to deal with them in person.
Why'd I have to become king, anyway?
I knew all along.
You're different from other people.
I seem to attract every single nobody out there...
What kind of king is that?
You say that,
but they're all important to you, aren't they?
One day, I'll...
Hey, don't worry.
It'll all work out.
You've always been a carefree little git.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
You're a king.
Your powers are not to be used for evil.
They exist to protect.
I guarantee that.
What's Tom Yam Goong?
You don't know?
It's a hot-sour soup.
It's bright red and looks incredibly spicy,
but when you eat it the complex flavours explode in your mouth.
It's red?
It's really red!
Anna, want to help me make it?
So you're a woman, too?
I'm just into cooking right now.
When I tried phoning home
I got a message saying the number wasn't available.
What kind of thing could cause this?
One: I called the wrong number for my house.
Two: Something happened at home that made them change their number.
Three: I'm lying.
Or four: There's something wrong with your memory.
I'm Isana Yashiro.
An ordinary guy from a loving family,
who's living on his own to attend high school.
Where'd Neko go...
Totsuka-san, you suck!
You did it all wrong.
You need to go bam! and then flip.
What?
I can't understand what you're saying, Yata.
Give me that.
Cut it out, you guys!
Play with your skateboard outside!
Okay, Totsuka-san, stomp on this end hard!
That guy's...
Stomp it hard.
...a strange dude.
Like this?
You got that right.
No, not sideways.
He can't fight,
Back and forth!
but he seems so comfortable around guys who do nothing but fight.
Stomp hard on the back like this!
I got it. Don't worry.
He's like a wild animal trainer.
Ready... go!
Hey, did you just laugh?
You really suck at this!
Look who's talking, Yata!
You suck at Sevens!
What?!
What about you, Totsuka-san?
This is what happens when a guy who likes hobbies for old geezers
wants to learn how to skateboard!
I enjoy trying lots of different things.
Which reminds me...
I bought an old-style film camera.
Just take videos with your phone.
It just isn't the same.
I've been recording a lot of clips.
I'll show them to you sometime.
Your song.
Aren't you going to sing?
Anna's such a good kid.
Did you hear that?
There's a young lady here whose heart's been captivated by one of my hobbies!
You're making too big a deal out of it...
At the crossroad where thousands of lives come and go every day.
That's where we met, you and I.
Those good old days
when we fooled around and laughed together...
Is this where you live?
It was supposed to be here.
Straight down the road after we left the station.
A small house with a yard.
It appears...
...you are not who you think you are.
You could be right.
I might not be Isana Yashiro at all.
In fact, Isana Yashiro may not have existed to begin with.
Yeah.
I had a feeling something wasn't right.
When I tried to remember details, things didn't turn out right.
Who are you?
A murderer?
I can't deny that with absolute certainty anymore.
I can't even believe myself any more.
Do you want to slay me now?
Totsuka-san!
Hey! What happened?!
Colourless... king.
King?
Totsuka-san!
Was it another king that did this to you?!
That's enough, Yata!
Don't make him speak!
You'll be all right, Totsuka-san.
A doctor's on the way.
You'll be better in no time.
Hey...
...don't worry...
...it'll all work out.
Sorry...
Totsuka-san?
Totsuka-san!
Don't fall sleep!
Don't do this to us!
C'mon!
Sorry, Mikoto...
I have bad news.
Always being so irresponsible, and then dying on us like this...
Damn fool.
The final curtain falls at the very moment a person gives up.
Such wonderful words.
Were you listening to what I was saying?
You mean about not being able to believe yourself?
Funny you should mention that.
I don't believe you, either.
I felt that way well before you did.
I believe in only one thing.
My late master's words.
Ichigen-sama said I should be certain.
I have not yet given up on being certain.
That is why I have no intention of allowing the final curtain to fall.
What about you, Shiro?
Don't give up, huh?
You're right.
Ichigen-sama speaks the truth.
In that case, I will allow you to repeat his words.
Saying Ichigen-sama's blessed words...
...will cleanse your soul.
Creepy.
ikusen mono kousa suru michi de bokura wa deaeta
幾千もの交差する道で 僕らは出逢えた
At the crossroad where thousands of lives come and go every day;
massugu na manazashi de mirai o misuete ta
真っ直ぐなまなざしで 未来を見据えてた
That's where we met, you and I.
nani ga okotte mo tomoni aruke ba
何が起こっても共に歩けば
With an honest gaze we looked at the future full of longing.
nanbai mono yuuki ga michiafure
何倍もの勇気が満ち溢れ
As long as we are together on the path we walk,
norikoerareru mamorarete iru
乗り越えられる 守られている
we have play of courage to face our trials, overcome them, and be protected.
aka ni somatta yuuhi ni chikatta kotoba wa
赤に染まった夕陽に誓った言葉は
The vows we uttered as the evening sun shone red
sepia no tsuki ni suikomare te yuku
セピアの月に吸い込まれてゆく
are being sucked up by moon of faded yellow.
haruka musun da atsui kizuna
遥かむすんだ熱いキズナ
Our bond binds us from afar and yet we feel the warmth,
douka towa ni tsuzuki masu you ni
どうか永久に続きますように
and I wish it would last forever.
It's me, Neko!
Guess what, guess what?
Lots of blue people stormed in and things went flash!
So I meowed, and then
the boob lady went boom, and kaboom!
And finally, the boss with glasses was all like...
Next time, on K, #7: "Key."
But I'm sure everything'll be okay, because I have Shiro!
