03x11 - writE: The Absent One

[bunniefuu]

Request an intercept helicopter immediately.

Time for some fun garbage cleanup.

Slice!

Furuta,

don't slip on the blood on the floor.

R-Right.

Bless my soul!

Master Mirumo!

I'll take the front. Mutsuki, you've got the side.

Mm-hmm!

Saiko, get down!

At this level, they'd distinguish themselves in any squad they're in.

They're all developing so well.

All right, let's continue on upstairs.

--Roger! --Yeah! --Aye!

Mairo!

Master Shu... Thank goodness you're safe.

Matsumae, CCG is as far as the lower levels.

That woman is leading them.

Understood.

Master Shu, a helicopter is on its way to pick you up.

Please wait for it on the roof.

Matsumae...

...why aren't you wearing your masks?

Can you swear to me... that you will return?

Will you promise me that?

Can you come back early today?

Yes.

Promise?

Yes.

That is a promise...

...I cannot make.

Matsumae...

Master Shu, please go on living. My life has always belonged to you.

Please, do not let this be for nothing.

Your words...

...are unfair, Matsumae.

Investigator Sasaki, I'm concerned about the situation on the roof.

Head up there first and search for any enemies.

Roger that.

Captain Shirazu...

...you're on.

Yeah!

Awesome...

CCG's ninja.

There's no one here.

A corporation as big as this one...

...sure did come to an end suddenly.

Master Shu, please, become stronger.

You have the power to make it through this forest of thorns.

I, Matsumae, believe in you.

Master Shu, I realize how disrespectful this is of me,

but I ask that you please at least forgive my feelings for you.

I have loved you...

...the same as if you were my own brother.

What a ridiculous farce.

"writE: The Absent One"

Investigator Sasaki,

what's the status on the roof?

--Sasaki! --There isn't anyone here yet.

--There isn't anyone here yet.

Are you trying to be merciful?

Please surrender yourself. If you do so,

I can recommend to CCG that you be taken into custody--

Surrender, you say?

I will not surrender!

My father, and the others...

...staked their lives to allow me to live.

As of now, my life is no longer just my own.

Mister Sasaki, I don't know who you are.

Hold it!

Someone new?

We'll dispatch him together! Don't get careless!

I don't know who this bastard is...

Investigator Shimoguchi!

Y-You idiots! Get back!

W-We're backing you up!

I said to get out of here! Do you want to get k*lled, you dumb women?!

Given the circumstances, I can tell you this--I hate you both.

You're always in my way, and you're of no use!

Get going, already!

We rather liked you, Senior Investigator Shimoguchi.

We'll buy you some time to fall back.

Contact with Shimoguchi Squad has been cut off.

It appears we have a new player.

Quinx Squad, Ito Squad, go and assist Shimoguchi Squad!

Roger.

I have a really bad feeling about this.

She's strong, all right.

It's about time to bring this to an end.

If this keeps up...

But then, what do I do? I can't even...

Master Shu...

That's right. The last remaining w*apon that I have...

...are these feelings!

Right through her!

Let's hold up here.

Prepare to engage.

Here he comes!

Umeno!

Nezu!

Yonebayashi!

Are you okay, Yonebayashi?!

Th-Thanks.

Urie!

Shirazu!

Hold him in place, Mutsuki!

You got it!

Saiko!

Did... we get him?

No way...

You're kidding, right?

I've never seen anyone patch themselves up like a monster movie--

Mr. Ito!

My ribs...

Hey, come on, is this for real?

I got ran through...

S-Senior Investigator Ihei...

Okahira, your quinque...

--Huh? --Give it to me! Give it now!

R-Right!

Perish.

Hurry up and die! Now!

Can my shield... stand up... to this?

Matsumae!

Mairo?!

Look after Master Shu!

Yeah! Huh?

I don't need my lower half!

Investigator Ihei!

Well, well...

For this to happen to someone like Miss Hairu... Farewell, beautiful one.

I think I'll give you a taste of this, as well--

This, which carved Mr. Yuma and the talkative Aliza to mincemeat--

Oh?

Don't underestimate...

...the life force...

...of a butler...

Mr. Kijima!

Oh?!

Fanculo!

Mr. Kijima...!

What incredible vibrations...!

Cheese! I want to have some cheese!

Yuma... Aliza... Mairo...

You have been avenged.

Master Shu...

I will be joining you soon.

I'll take point. Investigator Furuta, stand by at the rear!

Okay.

Wh-What just happened...?

Investigator Furuta, what are you doing?!

I beg your pardon. Standing by at the rear.

You'd use one of your own as a shield? Have you no honor?!

Huh?

Oh, no.

You are the one who actually k*lled him.

My sight...!

You seem to be living a proud life,

but no matter how hard you try to gloss over it...

...you're still just murderous man-eaters, right?

I mean, that's fine and all...

Missed me!

Sorry about this.

How do you plan to get out of this net alive by yourself?!

The choice you're making...

...is su1c1de!

Dove investigator, that is not for you to ponder!

I will defeat you, and go!

Right...

A left feint...

A kick while waiting for an opening...

Then with his coiled-up kagune,

a thrust!

I've more-or-less got him pegged. Next...

...a broad lateral sweep!

Yes indeed. These old familiar moves...

You're strong, all right...

What's the matter, Haise Sasaki? k*ll me.

Don't k*ll him.

Shut up, you gelded Borg.

Kanae? Is that you?

Ja.

Make sure you last through this,

Kuramoto!

Damn it!

No matter how much we att*ck him,

unless we can do something about that regenerative ability, it's pointless.

I wish we had a high-power quinque.

I...

...will use this.

Go!!

No, don't get up...

I'm begging you...

Do you know why roses are so beautiful?

Because you pick them before they wither.

In death, may you at least be a beautiful memory for Master Shu.

Haise, one more time.

I can't... stand up anymore... Arima...

Get up, Haise. Do your job.

k*ll, like I do.

You are my quinque.

Unless, Haise...

...you'd rather die again?

For a second there, I blacked out. What was that?

N-No... It belongs to me...

It's my body... All of it... is mine!

I won't have the likes of you near Master Shu!

Master Shu, you are my pride...

...you are my light...

...you are my--

Emma, see to the children.

Right.

Nathanael, Arnold, Karren...

Please, carry on the Rosewald name.

Soon after we left the house, we lost Mother.

My two brothers lost their lives protecting me,

leaving me all by myself.

When I reached the Tsukiyama family,

I conducted myself so as to take my brothers' place.

To fulfil my father's wish, as heir to the family.

All right, train me again tomorrow?

Yeah.

Kanae?!

No problem. Just the usual...

How long are you planning to keep it a secret?

You may be fine now, but your physique will gradually...

I know.

It's a matter of honor. Out of respect to my late family...

...if I can just build up my body...

The servants have all caught on.

About the only one who doesn't know is Master Shu.

Master Shu...

My heart is even now trapped in the forest of roses.

--Table. --Lots of food.

--The sea. --Warnemünde... I'm sleepy...

--Illness. --Mother.

--Pride. --Master Shu.

--To die. --Inevitability.

--Contempt. --Humans.

--To sleep. --A soft bed... Let me sleep...

--Flower. --Rose.

--The passage of time. --Cruelty.

--Lies. --Liars.

--Female. --Female...

Did you want to be loved?

Did I want to be loved, you ask?

Sure I wanted to be loved.

Kanae...

Master... Shu...

Stay away from him.

I was seized by such unhappy feelings, but then...

...I remembered a familiar phrase--

"My dear absent one...

...your parents failed...

...at raising you."

"Tokyo Ghoul:re"

"Next Time"

Urie! Is that a big enough barrage?!

No one will chasten you for it.

"Daybreak"
