02x01 - New Surge

[bunniefuu]

I had a dream

It was of the time we were born

We lived such a beautiful life

in a city of wombs

We clapped our hands and smiled

We drank the paint dry

The colors of the rainbow changed

We started wanting to be held

I couldn't walk alone anymore

We smiled at each other

We gave our love to toys

I wish we could destroy

the untouchable children using simple words!

The prost*tute spat fire

In a faraway city, somebody d*ed

Is the young man who took my arms from me ten years ago here?

It looks like you've been quite successful, yourself.

Perhaps I should have taken your dominant arm back then.

Like I did your superior's...

Special Investigator Shinohara.

Iwa...

Mm-hmm.

Hirako, stay here.

Right.

The rest of you, go and finish off Aogiri.

Amon, you, too.

Amon!

I will fight with you!

This is an order from your superior. Do as you're told.

I am staying here! Please, let me fight here with you!

You are an outstanding officer, and I won't have you dying here.

Go!

I'm... done running.

Then don't get in our way.

Right!

Hirako, I'm sorry.

I know the score. So then,

where are those quinques of yours?

Already wearing them.

This organization isn't good for anything!

Snap out of it, Ayato, you idiot!

Cozy up with the humans, will you?! We're ghouls, don't you know!

Does it make you happy, being off playing nice with the humans,

and forgetting that you're a monster?!

If your wings are that lame, I'll clip them for you!

Prototypes or not,

these Aratas provide impressive defensive capability.

Mm-hmm.

With the gear we had ten years ago, we'd be dead twice over already.

Mm-hmm.

Did we get him?

Yeah.

It looks like we lose.

Un! Deux!

Trois! Quatre! Cinq!

Six! Sept! Huit! Neuf!

And ten!

Hmm? Not much resistance here, is there?

Uta, hold him there!

Dolce.

Being able to mend himself after having his top knocked off like that,

puts him beyond ghoulish healing abilities.

His life force is astonishing.

I wonder what he tastes like.

Follow him?

No. Let's hurry forward.

You taste like crap, all right.

The world runs on power.

Everything is determined by the superior power.

You are weak. That is why you lose.

Just like Pop.

Iwa!

Mm-hmm!

Iwa, how far can we push these prototypes?

Are you thinking of doing something crazy?

Let's do it.

I'm in!

Okay, Arata...

Dig in!

Let's go!

Yeah!

Amazing...

Kakuja quinques...

Kakuja?

Can they withstand them?

This capability is incredible!

But letting ourselves be devoured...

Shinohara!

It's biting into me... Heh, this is bad. If it keeps up...

I'll be eaten up...

What an atrocious w*apon.

The world att*cks and kills each other.

We each try to justify ourselves by saying it's only right.

But there is no reason that allows one to k*ll somebody.

The act of taking a life amounts to... evil.

W-What?

If there is such a thing as a soul,

then it appears that he has no plans to help you.

Dad...

Even in this situation, you call for Pop?

He's gone now, Touka!

K--

Kaneki...?

Kaneki...

This is because of me. I'm sorry.

Why are you... such... an idiot...?

Kaneki...

I'm all right, Mr. Nishio. See to Touka.

You look quite different now, don't you, you one-eyed bastard?

I was sure you were already dead!

You are Touka's one and only brother.

I won't k*ll you.

This is why I say you Anteiku punks are all such wusses!

You little...

He's...

gotten stronger, huh?

Is it about time yet?

Yeah.

Say,

do you want me to tell you your secret?

Huh? What the hell are you talking about?

What it is you're trying to do in Aogiri.

There's no way you could know that!

Shut up and listen.

I'm talking.

Why, you...

It's for protection, right?

What you hold most dear.

You are strong. You could have k*lled me earlier, if you wanted to.

Ayato, what is it that you want to accomplish so badly,

that you'd even join Aogiri?

I'll k*ll you!

Noro!

Hey, you! Let me go! Noro! Hey!

Mr. Nishio...

Kaneki...

What on Earth is this?

Let's hurry along.

Yeah.

Look out!

Mr. Shinohara! Mr. Kuroiwa!

Mm-hmm, we're all right. Hirako and Amon, go take shelter!

We'll be right behind you, once we remove these Aratas.

Yes, sir!

I wonder if we're going to die now.

I'm sorry! This is all because I'm such a good-for-nothing!

You wouldn't be one of Kaneki's pals, would you?

Oui, monsieur.

Hurry and get outside!

All units, evacuate!

Evacuate! Hurry!

This way!

This is messed up.

Mr. Nishio, take Touka.

O-Okay. Kaneki? What about you?

H-Hey!

Kaneki!

Nishiki!

Big Sister!

Let's get going.

It's not safe here.

Yeah.

Kaneki...

The others aren't coming, huh? I wonder if they're dead.

Mr. Tatara, how many do you suppose are dead?

About two hundred or so.

Well, for the sake of those two hundred, we'll have to do our k*lling, too.

Yeah.

It looks like it's all over now.

Let's go, Kuro, Shiro.

My love nest is crumbling to the ground.

Yeah, manhunts are fine and all,

but please don't forget about us, too.

Yeah, I know. I've been out of touch for a while,

so I thought it was high time I showed my face around here.

Clowns always get the last laugh.

Don't we?

Iwa...

Mm-hmm. You've come around, have you?

This was a trap, wasn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Damn.

Shinohara...

about the owl back there...

Never mind.

Did you... fight, too?

The casualty reports!

Where are my casualty reports?!

Roughly half of them made it out alive.

Damn it!

That owl...

I'm all right. Find the manager.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, you, when you get back, do something about that hair.

If you show up in the shop looking like that...

you can't help but stick out, after all.

Touka...

I'm not going back to Anteiku.

Huh?

What do you mean?

I'm... going over to Aogiri.

The seasons die off, one by one

The sounds of their demise take to the wind

A sober man in a bustling city

It's too unromantic to look up at the moon here

It's as though I'm living as a translucent shadow,

unsure if I can still call who I am me

Will the clouds part if I sing in the rain?

I'm a dried-up life amidst a boisterous summer

Salutations; this is a break-up verse

to my loathsome past

I'm filled with lament and wracked with grief,

but though the sun may not shine

my song still goes on

The seasons come back to life, one by one
