WEBVTT
00:05.090 --> 00:08.830
Why am I me?
00:12.030 --> 00:13.190
I couldn't...
00:14.520 --> 00:16.290
I couldn't do anything.
00:18.700 --> 00:19.750
Gugu...
00:20.230 --> 00:21.490
I'm sorry.
00:24.520 --> 00:26.680
It's too late.
02:04.430 --> 02:08.350
It's been four and a half days
since Fushi left Booze Man's home.
02:08.830 --> 02:12.010
Fushi walked alone, in silence.
02:12.750 --> 02:16.350
Along the way, he tried on many expressions.
02:17.260 --> 02:21.350
He must be desperately trying
to process his emotions.
02:23.580 --> 02:28.850
With Gugu's death, he seems to have
acquired something invisible.
02:30.880 --> 02:33.300
Come out, black thing.
02:33.830 --> 02:37.080
By "black thing," do you mean me?
02:39.780 --> 02:40.830
What is it?
02:41.540 --> 02:44.300
This is the first time you've called for me.
02:44.580 --> 02:48.580
Aspiring to Go Higher
02:49.140 --> 02:51.830
What am I supposed to do now?
02:52.320 --> 02:54.130
Continue forward.
02:54.130 --> 02:58.970
Become stronger so that you can take
back the piece that was taken from you.
02:59.870 --> 03:02.810
What... What am I?
03:03.090 --> 03:05.180
What do you want from me?
03:05.510 --> 03:07.740
It's as I've said before.
03:08.120 --> 03:14.040
You are a mechanism for collecting and
preserving the information of this land.
03:14.040 --> 03:16.760
And it was I who created you.
03:17.190 --> 03:20.520
I am effectively your parent.
03:20.520 --> 03:23.920
No. You aren't my parent.
03:23.920 --> 03:25.630
My parent was...
03:28.570 --> 03:29.990
Is something the matter?
03:35.740 --> 03:37.840
Why am I the only one living?
03:38.270 --> 03:41.630
Why did Gugu have to d-d-die?
03:42.160 --> 03:44.470
It's simply a difference in nature.
03:44.950 --> 03:46.640
I have no idea what you're talking about.
03:47.170 --> 03:49.640
It's too early for you to understand.
03:50.220 --> 03:54.370
But I'm glad you're able to question things.
03:53.760 --> 03:54.940
Don't play dumb with me.
03:54.940 --> 03:55.990
Tell me everything!
03:56.510 --> 03:59.120
Everything perishes.
03:59.120 --> 04:01.440
That's why you're needed.
04:01.720 --> 04:05.540
You're the one special entity in this world.
04:05.980 --> 04:10.750
For that reason, the enemies,
the Nokkers, seem to want to control you.
04:11.260 --> 04:15.370
Will the Nokkers stop coming if I'm not me?
04:15.870 --> 04:17.440
That would be nice.
04:18.950 --> 04:20.090
I'll try it.
04:38.570 --> 04:42.570
Taking on that form doesn't constitute
having abandoned yourself.
04:43.110 --> 04:47.310
If the Nokkers come while you're in that form,
they'll simply have their way with you.
04:47.590 --> 04:54.420
If you continue to lose, you'll return to
a state of nothing—back to the orb.
04:55.160 --> 04:58.740
And you'll never return to what you are now.
04:58.740 --> 05:00.830
You won't be able to.
05:00.830 --> 05:04.670
I wouldn't mind, but I'm sure you would.
05:04.670 --> 05:07.900
Why don't you fight, then?
05:07.900 --> 05:11.180
You're strong enough to
control me, aren't you?
05:11.680 --> 05:14.510
Yes. It would indeed be simple.
05:14.990 --> 05:19.520
But even if I can control your body,
I can't control your mind.
05:20.090 --> 05:21.390
The Nokkers...
05:21.950 --> 05:28.370
Until their objective of killing us is put
to an end, the attacks will continue.
05:28.690 --> 05:32.100
It will be you, not me, who stops them.
05:32.800 --> 05:35.120
One day, I will no longer be here.
05:35.470 --> 05:41.610
You need to prepare to defeat them
on your own when that time comes.
05:42.050 --> 05:46.380
You're a critical step in achieving my goal.
05:46.380 --> 05:47.170
That's your problem!
05:47.620 --> 05:49.120
I don't care!
05:52.180 --> 05:53.800
Good grief.
05:53.800 --> 05:56.650
You've grown to be quite troublesome.
05:57.790 --> 05:58.650
Damn it.
05:59.780 --> 06:02.760
Nothing will bring Gugu back.
06:03.340 --> 06:05.490
So I don't care anymore.
06:05.960 --> 06:09.200
I don't care what happens
to me or anyone else.
06:09.580 --> 06:12.230
Are you sure about that?
06:27.550 --> 06:29.470
This scent... Why?
06:34.690 --> 06:36.070
Pioran!
06:36.070 --> 06:36.960
Hey!
06:39.030 --> 06:41.070
I realized something.
06:41.530 --> 06:45.970
I came to Takunaha hoping I could help you,
06:45.970 --> 06:49.450
but in the end, I couldn't
do anything for you,
06:49.960 --> 06:53.330
so I decided to travel with you again.
06:53.600 --> 06:55.340
B-But...
06:55.340 --> 06:57.490
Wh-What about the old man and the others?
06:57.490 --> 06:59.200
Don't worry.
06:59.200 --> 07:02.090
I've told them all about what I'm doing.
07:02.090 --> 07:06.260
Rean and Shin said they'd keep
the business going for us.
07:06.670 --> 07:10.750
Rean had figured out what
happened to you and Gugu.
07:11.000 --> 07:15.410
I think that's why she let me leave.
07:18.820 --> 07:19.990
Pioran...
07:20.910 --> 07:21.930
Go home.
07:22.690 --> 07:24.040
How dare you?!
07:24.040 --> 07:26.950
You're turning down an
innocent old lady's wish?
07:27.510 --> 07:29.930
You know what follows me.
07:29.930 --> 07:30.930
It's dangerous.
07:31.630 --> 07:34.040
I've thought it through.
07:34.040 --> 07:38.330
How do I give meaning to what little
time I have left in this life?
07:38.710 --> 07:40.950
I'll be your walking stick.
07:41.200 --> 07:43.920
Even if I'm just an inch-long twig.
07:44.330 --> 07:46.320
That's what I want to do.
07:46.920 --> 07:48.870
I'm dragging you home!
07:49.390 --> 07:51.920
They need you at that home, Pioran!
07:52.130 --> 07:53.180
Ow!
07:55.120 --> 07:57.570
Why won't you listen to me?
07:58.050 --> 08:00.700
I don't want anyone to cry anymore.
08:00.700 --> 08:02.950
A-And I don't want to see it, either.
08:02.950 --> 08:04.860
So please, go home!
08:04.860 --> 08:06.440
Go home for my sake!
08:06.440 --> 08:07.480
Shut up!
08:07.480 --> 08:08.890
It's my life!
08:08.890 --> 08:11.280
Let me do as I please!
08:19.040 --> 08:20.540
Suit yourself.
08:29.540 --> 08:30.750
Here, have a potato.
08:31.590 --> 08:32.500
Don't want it.
08:42.820 --> 08:44.020
Here, have some tea.
08:44.250 --> 08:45.300
Don't want it.
08:46.970 --> 08:48.300
Here, have some fish.
08:48.300 --> 08:49.990
I said I don't want it!
08:50.360 --> 08:52.120
You must be cold.
08:58.900 --> 09:02.540
Pioran, promise me one thing.
09:02.540 --> 09:03.960
What's that?
09:04.970 --> 09:06.390
Don't die.
09:14.630 --> 09:15.890
Look.
09:15.890 --> 09:17.200
It's a town.
09:18.480 --> 09:20.060
I'm starving.
09:20.060 --> 09:22.300
It's a good time for a break!
09:23.680 --> 09:24.850
Pioran!
09:27.490 --> 09:29.590
Pioran, let's go already.
09:29.590 --> 09:30.640
Welcome!
09:31.530 --> 09:34.930
I haven't eaten in ages! Delicious!
09:35.950 --> 09:40.040
I can't protect this village if it comes back.
09:41.590 --> 09:43.860
Fine. Just give me a second.
09:43.860 --> 09:45.800
Hey, man! Do you have booze?
09:45.800 --> 09:46.700
Sure thing.
09:46.700 --> 09:48.150
Pioran!
09:53.230 --> 09:56.440
Hey, where are the Nokkers right now?
09:56.820 --> 09:59.480
Six kilometers northwest of here.
09:59.910 --> 10:04.570
I haven't sensed it move for the past four
days, since it burrowed into the soil.
10:04.910 --> 10:06.440
Sensed?
10:06.440 --> 10:08.570
You always know where they are?
10:09.040 --> 10:11.930
They're like insects crawling on your body.
10:12.290 --> 10:15.770
You wouldn't notice them
while they're small eggs,
10:15.770 --> 10:19.580
but once they hatch and start to move,
they cause intense discomfort.
10:20.520 --> 10:23.030
Can't you explain in a way I can understand?
10:23.030 --> 10:25.130
Who are you talking to?
10:25.690 --> 10:27.790
Oh, well...
10:28.680 --> 10:31.010
Here's your food.
10:31.660 --> 10:32.490
Fushi.
10:35.250 --> 10:37.090
You can tell me anything.
10:38.650 --> 10:40.720
A man in black?
10:40.990 --> 10:44.710
And he's telling you to become stronger?
10:44.710 --> 10:47.160
To drive away the Nokkers?
10:47.160 --> 10:48.020
Yeah.
10:48.260 --> 10:50.980
So, what do you want to do?
10:50.980 --> 10:51.810
Huh?
10:52.900 --> 10:55.650
I don't want to just do as he says.
10:56.340 --> 10:59.200
But if the Nokkers come...
10:59.740 --> 11:03.730
I would be the only one
who could protect Pioran.
11:04.080 --> 11:06.700
The man in black is right.
I can't defeat them.
11:06.700 --> 11:08.170
Not as I am now.
11:09.330 --> 11:11.610
Then I have to become strong.
11:13.420 --> 11:14.540
That bastard!
11:14.540 --> 11:18.300
He made me bump into Pioran
knowing this would happen to me!
11:19.130 --> 11:21.320
Say, Fushi...
11:21.320 --> 11:24.480
I don't expect you to protect me.
11:26.640 --> 11:30.630
Living on the edge has its appeal, too.
11:30.630 --> 11:31.520
You hear?
11:32.190 --> 11:33.010
Yeah.
11:33.750 --> 11:35.920
Is that really good enough?
11:36.520 --> 11:39.340
I feel like I'm forgetting something.
11:39.780 --> 11:42.580
Those fruits look delicious!
11:42.580 --> 11:45.170
Fushi, climb up and grab them for me.
11:45.170 --> 11:47.180
I don't have to do that.
11:47.540 --> 11:48.370
See?
11:48.370 --> 11:50.340
Gross!
11:50.340 --> 11:52.630
I'm not eating that.
11:52.630 --> 11:55.330
Oh, fine.
11:56.520 --> 11:57.200
Huh?
11:58.570 --> 12:01.220
What's wrong? That was pathetic.
12:01.220 --> 12:05.490
Just take on March's form again.
How hard could it be?
12:05.490 --> 12:06.460
March?
12:08.480 --> 12:12.100
M-March! You know her, don't you?
12:12.100 --> 12:13.840
The tiny one.
12:13.840 --> 12:14.990
Who are you talking about?
12:15.900 --> 12:19.130
You've changed into her tons of times!
12:19.130 --> 12:20.330
Remember her!
12:20.330 --> 12:22.680
Don't you dare tell me you've forgotten her!
12:31.950 --> 12:33.430
I remember.
12:33.430 --> 12:36.280
I remember being able to climb trees.
12:36.280 --> 12:38.280
Fushi! You go first!
12:38.280 --> 12:40.590
Fushi! Give me a stick!
12:40.940 --> 12:42.540
I do...
12:43.190 --> 12:45.440
You were robbed.
12:45.710 --> 12:47.850
The Nokkers took March from you.
12:49.000 --> 12:52.570
Someone gave me many things.
12:53.440 --> 12:55.300
Say "thank you."
12:55.830 --> 12:57.690
Funny puppy!
12:58.180 --> 13:01.660
Growing up means knowing everything, right?
13:02.340 --> 13:03.400
Is that...
13:03.800 --> 13:06.000
Is that March?
13:07.640 --> 13:11.420
Wasn't she really important to me?
13:12.360 --> 13:14.500
You finally understand.
13:14.860 --> 13:16.370
I can't blame you.
13:16.370 --> 13:19.600
You can't even recall something
once you've lost it.
13:25.720 --> 13:27.260
I see.
13:27.260 --> 13:30.670
The enemy takes your memories, too.
13:31.100 --> 13:34.630
If it killed you while
you were in Gugu's form,
13:34.630 --> 13:37.430
you'd lose your memories of Gugu, too.
13:37.830 --> 13:38.690
Yeah.
13:40.440 --> 13:43.200
It's like a second death.
13:44.440 --> 13:48.900
Rean and Booze Man, Parona of Ninannah...
13:48.900 --> 13:50.750
And me, too.
13:50.750 --> 13:56.200
We'll only be truly dead
once we're forgotten.
13:57.590 --> 13:59.360
I won't let that happen.
13:59.360 --> 14:01.450
I'll get stronger.
14:04.840 --> 14:07.380
Now that I've made up my
mind, I have to think.
14:07.830 --> 14:10.610
Even if I'm playing right
into the black thing's hands.
14:10.860 --> 14:15.480
You make new things in
reaction to pain, right?
14:16.610 --> 14:17.440
Pain...
14:18.000 --> 14:20.080
I just have to stimulate myself.
14:20.080 --> 14:21.090
It's easy.
14:22.280 --> 14:25.110
But I can't turn myself into rock.
14:25.110 --> 14:26.530
I'll lose awareness.
14:27.390 --> 14:29.680
The problem is that,
as far as living things go,
14:30.220 --> 14:33.110
I can't transform while the
subject is still alive.
14:33.670 --> 14:35.160
What a nasty thought.
14:34.100 --> 14:36.080
A crab flower!
14:36.080 --> 14:37.570
These things are sweet.
14:37.840 --> 14:40.550
The eyes are made of bugs,
so we don't eat them.
14:40.550 --> 14:44.860
The flower is delicious,
so we'll make salad out of it later.
14:45.530 --> 14:48.670
And we boil it live with plenty of salt.
14:49.420 --> 14:50.810
What's wrong, Fushi?
14:51.370 --> 14:54.140
When I'm near something, I feel what it feels.
14:54.140 --> 14:57.070
Pain and suffering and stuff.
14:57.070 --> 14:58.230
Wow.
14:58.230 --> 15:00.600
Has it always been like that?
15:00.600 --> 15:01.460
Yeah.
15:01.860 --> 15:06.940
That's why I always had Gugu
gut the fish and crabs.
15:07.280 --> 15:08.800
I never knew.
15:09.880 --> 15:11.900
There, it's ready.
15:12.370 --> 15:13.350
Yum!
15:13.350 --> 15:14.380
Yeah, it's good.
15:14.820 --> 15:17.620
I don't have the guts to become a crab yet.
15:20.700 --> 15:22.870
All I can make is a corpse.
15:23.610 --> 15:26.020
I guess I could probably make Gugu, too.
15:26.700 --> 15:29.700
A limp, motionless Gugu.
15:30.870 --> 15:32.550
Say, Fushi...
15:32.960 --> 15:37.440
How did you defeat the Nokkers
when you fought them last time?
15:39.090 --> 15:42.170
I actually don't know.
15:42.170 --> 15:45.770
Gugu blew fire on it,
and it jumped in the water,
15:45.770 --> 15:47.760
and the rocks on its body fell apart.
15:47.930 --> 15:49.190
That's it!
15:49.190 --> 15:52.400
Heated stone becomes brittle
when it's quickly cooled.
16:04.350 --> 16:07.180
That did work well.
16:07.680 --> 16:09.590
But I don't know about the next time.
16:10.080 --> 16:12.690
If it shakes me off, I'll die.
16:12.970 --> 16:16.850
And you can't count on
there being water nearby.
16:16.850 --> 16:19.900
You're going to have to learn
to be versatile when you fight.
16:20.500 --> 16:21.710
I know!
16:21.710 --> 16:23.670
There's a place that's perfect, Fushi!
16:25.840 --> 16:31.240
There's a ship that goes to
Sarlnine from the port up ahead.
16:31.240 --> 16:34.570
It's an animal paradise.
16:34.570 --> 16:36.110
No one comes near it.
16:36.500 --> 16:39.710
There, you can train to
your heart's content.
16:39.710 --> 16:40.840
A ship...
16:40.840 --> 16:43.060
A ship would be dangerous
if the Nokkers came.
16:43.060 --> 16:45.200
It's not that much to endure!
16:45.200 --> 16:49.260
You're going to be trapped forever
if you don't stop worrying.
16:51.270 --> 16:52.460
All right.
16:53.070 --> 16:53.910
Let's go.
16:59.430 --> 17:00.460
Here we are!
17:00.460 --> 17:01.780
This is the ship.
17:01.780 --> 17:05.120
Ma'am, this ship is full.
17:05.120 --> 17:07.090
Allow me to show you
to that ship over there.
17:07.530 --> 17:08.940
This way, please.
17:08.940 --> 17:10.750
I'll take care of your donkey.
17:10.750 --> 17:11.870
Thanks.
17:13.230 --> 17:15.310
Time for a break.
17:15.310 --> 17:17.750
Women with me, please.
17:18.640 --> 17:20.820
Is that a rule?
17:20.820 --> 17:22.650
This area is dangerous.
17:22.650 --> 17:23.580
I'm sorry.
17:24.080 --> 17:26.710
Well then, Fushi, I'll see you there.
17:26.710 --> 17:27.580
Yeah.
17:31.700 --> 17:33.810
Come, you're with me.
17:34.060 --> 17:35.300
Over here.
17:35.550 --> 17:36.340
Get in.
17:40.450 --> 17:42.560
I'm going to hand out your tickets.
17:42.560 --> 17:44.140
Each of you, put your hand out.
17:48.350 --> 17:49.140
Next!
17:49.350 --> 17:50.130
You!
17:56.110 --> 17:57.210
Next!
17:59.650 --> 18:00.940
Next!
18:02.850 --> 18:04.110
Pioran!
18:04.340 --> 18:06.660
Welcome, prisoners!
18:06.660 --> 18:09.130
Starting today, you're all family!
18:09.420 --> 18:16.040
You're all headed for the one place in
the world that'll accept trash like you.
18:16.390 --> 18:19.660
There is where your last life begins.
18:20.160 --> 18:21.750
Welcome to heaven...
18:21.750 --> 18:24.500
Jananda Island!
18:36.330 --> 18:38.450
What is going on?
18:42.930 --> 18:44.570
Where's Pioran?
18:48.450 --> 18:49.860
You, hold it.
18:49.860 --> 18:51.510
Where are your shackles?
18:52.390 --> 18:53.920
Your brand is missing, too.
18:54.280 --> 18:55.170
That's odd...
18:55.560 --> 18:58.540
Did you get on with the prisoners by mistake?
18:58.540 --> 19:00.400
I'm sorry, boss!
19:00.670 --> 19:02.410
I made a mistake.
19:03.150 --> 19:04.160
I see.
19:04.160 --> 19:06.070
Be careful from now on.
19:06.070 --> 19:08.640
Trust is important to our business.
19:08.880 --> 19:09.530
All right.
19:09.530 --> 19:11.130
I'll take him back.
19:12.050 --> 19:13.240
This way.
19:19.020 --> 19:20.440
Where's Pioran?
19:20.440 --> 19:22.550
The woman who was with me?
19:22.550 --> 19:23.570
Dunno.
19:23.570 --> 19:26.130
She's probably been taken in already.
19:26.950 --> 19:28.170
Don't worry.
19:28.170 --> 19:31.890
Everyone who comes here
learns to smile eventually.
19:32.400 --> 19:34.760
I wonder why, though.
19:35.040 --> 19:36.410
Is it because they're happy here?
19:36.410 --> 19:40.040
Or because if they don't act happy,
they'll lose their minds?
19:41.760 --> 19:42.760
Wait!
19:43.600 --> 19:46.220
Don't just wander off!
19:46.660 --> 19:47.720
Huh?
19:50.020 --> 19:51.690
What a pain.
20:03.220 --> 20:04.510
Over there.
20:07.380 --> 20:09.810
Where's the entrance?
20:09.810 --> 20:11.230
I can't find it.
20:13.440 --> 20:15.470
I can't dig down.
20:16.800 --> 20:19.450
Can I make my way up this way?
20:39.050 --> 20:39.820
I'm not looking!
20:42.920 --> 20:44.580
Hello...
20:46.240 --> 20:48.250
Did you... see that?
20:48.580 --> 20:49.760
I did!
20:49.760 --> 20:51.510
That was awesome!
20:52.600 --> 20:54.790
Oh, should we keep it a secret?
20:59.760 --> 21:01.900
Hand me that bow.
21:03.440 --> 21:04.300
Here.
21:06.020 --> 21:08.670
Huh? How do you use these things again?
21:09.520 --> 21:11.270
Right, like this.
21:11.580 --> 21:14.670
I can make it over there if I have that bird.
21:15.260 --> 21:16.430
I don't have a choice.
21:17.630 --> 21:18.510
Okay.
21:19.140 --> 21:20.490
Not "okay"!
21:21.860 --> 21:23.730
Wh-What was that for?!
21:24.150 --> 21:26.450
This is my partner.
21:26.450 --> 21:28.710
You can't do that.
21:28.710 --> 21:30.730
Give me back my bow.
21:35.140 --> 21:37.210
H-Hey! Hang on!
21:37.210 --> 21:40.800
People like you get played with
like toys when they're alone!
21:41.510 --> 21:43.260
I'll wait, so tell me...
21:44.220 --> 21:46.660
How do I get up there?
21:47.740 --> 21:49.560
I dunno.
21:49.560 --> 21:50.470
Me, neither.
21:50.470 --> 21:51.720
Nor I.
21:52.200 --> 21:55.210
You're looking for your
buddy Pioran, right?
21:55.470 --> 21:57.390
That's unfortunate.
21:57.390 --> 22:00.750
Even if you find her,
she won't be getting out.
22:01.530 --> 22:03.790
Violent, irredeemable
murderers are brought
22:03.790 --> 22:06.840
from all over the place to
be kept on this island.
22:07.250 --> 22:09.490
It's a prison island.
22:09.490 --> 22:14.490
Once you're a prisoner here,
there's no getting out.
22:14.820 --> 22:17.120
Remember when they branded your hand?
22:17.120 --> 22:19.050
That marks you as a prisoner.
22:19.480 --> 22:23.620
So long as she has that brand,
she's a prisoner here.
22:23.820 --> 22:27.010
Prisoner?! You were the one
who brought us here!
22:27.260 --> 22:28.400
My bad!
22:28.400 --> 22:30.680
It was a mistake, I swear.
22:30.680 --> 22:31.930
Don't bullshit me.
22:31.930 --> 22:33.380
That was no mistake!
22:38.980 --> 22:41.240
Let me make it up to you, then.
22:41.660 --> 22:46.860
I'll tell you the one realistic
way to grant your wish.
22:50.450 --> 22:51.680
This is it!
22:53.470 --> 22:56.510
You have to win in this arena.
24:30.010 --> 24:51.030
Preview
24:31.750 --> 24:35.010
Jananda, island of the lawless.
24:36.060 --> 24:40.680
An island where prisoners kill each
other to have their wishes granted.
24:41.690 --> 24:46.930
Fushi, being immortal, came to
be the hope of five children.
24:47.900 --> 24:53.160
Fushi has yet to notice the footsteps
approaching from the past.
24:51.030 --> 24:55.030
Jananda, Island of Freedom
