08x09 - The Lost Rabbit

[bunniefuu]

Kam: Our mother was a mutant created by the outpouring of Altana on Planet Kouan...

Kam: An immortal who never would've d*ed so long as she'd stayed on that planet.

Kam: There's no telling just how long she'd lived there all by herself.

Kam: But one thing's for sure:

Kam: that man made that solitary flower wither and die.

Kam: What k*lled our mother

Kam: was our father.

Kam: Don't ever mouth off at me again.

Kam: If you do, you won't get off this lightly.

G: We'll say it as many times as it takes!

G: Get out of this town already!

UB: Hey!

UB: What are you guys doing?!

G: Crap, it's Umibozu!

G: Run away!

Kam: Dad!

UB: Don't bully the weak!

Kam: It was eight-on-one.

Kam: I was the one being bullied.

UB: Eight ants can't bully an elephant.

UB: Don't use the Yato's inherent strength for no reason.

Kam: You told me to grow stronger.

UB: What kind of brother gets his dear kid sister mixed up in a fight?

UB: Right, Kagura-chan?

UB: I was wrong! There were two elephants!

Kam: But those guys called Mom a pathogen, even though they don't know anything.

Kam: Dad, just what is Mom's illness?

Kam: Will she really get better?

Kam: Is there nothing I can do to help?

UB: Don't worry.

UB: Do you have any idea how much you're helping just by staying by her side?

UB: I'll take care of Mom's illness.

UB: So stop being reckless.

Kam: I felt like I wasn't being taken seriously.

Kam: And I thought Mom's illness wasn't healing,

Kam: and that he stopped coming home frequently,

Kam: because I lacked strength.

UB: Grow stronger.

Kam: So I tried to get stronger.

Ko: Kamui, you got into another fight, didn't you?

Kam: N-No, I didn't!

Ko: You're starting to resemble him.

Ko: You suck at lying.

Ko: Keep doing that, and you'll go bald.

Kam: As if!

Ko: Come here.

Kam: N-No.

Ko: Oh, so there is something you didn't inherit.

Ko: The baldy has no problem being babied when he needs it.

Kag: How nice.

Kag: Me, too!

Ko: It's big bro's turn today.

Ko: Good grief. You inherited all his stupidity.

Ko: I'm so sorry...

Ko: For making you bear so many burdens on this tiny back.

Ko: I became one with him because I wanted to be by his side.

Ko: I wanted to be by your side after you were born.

Ko: So, Kamui,

Ko: you two stay the way you are.

Kam: I started to understand even less what it meant to be strong.

G: Those guys...

G: It's the Harusame.

G: Here comes our sandbag.

Kam: Kagura!

Kam: Don't bully Kamui!

Kam: We promised Mommy we wouldn't make her worry anymore!

Kam: We promised we'd always be together!

G: Shut up, runt!

Kam: Kagura!

Abu: People on this planet don't teach their punk kids too well, huh?

Abu: I had to teach them a lesson.

Abu: Hey, baby rabbit.

Abu: If you don't want to end up a villain,

Abu: learn to protect your little sister.

G: What are you doing, Abuto?

Abu: Nothing.

Abu: I tried to take an outdoor dump, but the place was already filled with sh*t.

UB: I thought I told you...

UB: Strength is undone by strength.

UB: You're confused about what strength truly means.

Kam: I don't get it.

Kam: What is strength?

Kam: Letting others b*at you up?

Kam: Hurting others to protect your family?

Kam: Going off to fight alone, with no concern for your family?

Kam: I just don't get it anymore.

UB: I don't get it, either.

Ko: But you're still going?

UB: That's right, Kouka.

UB: Just as you risked your life in the hopes that you could be with us,

UB: I'll keep you alive, even if I have to leave you all to do it.

UB: Even if I lose the right to call myself a father, I'll protect my family.

UB: As the man who made the flower blooming on the planet of death wither,

UB: that is my cross to bear.

U: What a vast universe we live in.

U: I'm amazed that there was a being just like me,

U: and others who watched her die.

U: What expression was she wearing?

U: One of relief as her times of emptiness came to an end?

U: One of hatred as her loved ones m*rder*d her?

Kam: Why?

Kam: Why did you fall in love with Mom?

Kam: If you hadn't brought her off of that planet...

Kam: You're the one who's making her suffer.

UB: That's exactly right.

UB: She was all alone, and I couldn't ignore that.

UB: I wanted to protect her.

UB: But I was the one being protected.

UB: I can't live on that planet.

UB: But Mom can't live on any other planet.

UB: That's why she came along without saying anything.

UB: Instead of living forever alone,

UB: she chose to live with us and die.

UB: Blame me if you must.

UB: But even if I had realized back then,

UB: I still would've chosen to walk down this path.

UB: Because it brought you two into my life.

Kam: The footsteps I'd always tried to follow in kept walking farther away.

Kam: The ones making Mom suffer

Kam: were the three of us, her family.

G: That's him. Let's do this.

Kam: Hey.

Abu: Those aren't the eyes of a brother who came to avenge his kid sister.

Abu: You might have the potential to become a much bigger villain than these guys.

Kam: I don't care...

Kam: As long as I can grow stronger!

Abu: Hey, what's this about?

Abu: Are you really here for lessons in how to be a villain?

G: Get a load of Abuto.

Abu: It's no laughing matter.

G: Get him, kid!

Abu: This brat!

Ho: That's a nice kick, brat.

Ho: The Harusame's th Division Commander accepts your challenge.

Ho: Hey, small fry.

Ho: Anyone who throws a serious punch at you, be they a whelp or otherwise,

Ho: must be met with a serious punch in turn.

Ho: That's basic courtesy as a man.

Ho: Do you wish to be strong?

Ho: Then learn how weak you are.

Ho: Come again.

Ho: That kid...

Ho: He had the same eyes as him.

Kam: I wanted to know a form of strength that was unlike his.

Kam: But at the same time that I realized how weak I was,

Kam: I realized that I, that man,

Kam: our family...

Kam: We couldn't save her.

Kam: Then I...

Kam: Then... I...

Ho: Damn rabbit.

Ho: You land a hit on me, the great Hosen?

Ho: Tell me what you want.

Ho: To be beaten to death right here and now, or...

Kam: Take us away.

Kam: Take Mom and me away from this planet.

Kam: Mom, let's go back to your planet.

Ko: When did you find out?

Kag: I'm sure you'll get better if we go back.

Kag: Even a withering flower can be saved if it's planted back into the earth...

Ko: Kamui.

Ko: Let me stay here.

Ko: I want to be by your side.

Kam: You don't have to.

Kam: I don't care if we can't call ourselves family anymore.

Kam: I still want you to live.

Ko: Why would you inherit that part of him, too?

Kag: Mommy!

Kag: What are you doing, Kamui?

Kag: Where are you taking Mommy?

Kag: Daddy!

UB: Why choose to do this now, when I'm home?

Kam: Because I know...

Kam: That to save Mom, I have to cast aside the idea of being family.

Kam: That I have to walk over you to do it.

Kam: That's right.

Kam: I no longer...

Kam: Out of my way!

UB: Stop it, Kamui.

UB: I'll save Mom!

UB: I thought I promised you that!

UB: Wait! There's something I want to show—

UB: Look at this!

UB: With this, Mom can...

Kam: I grew stronger to protect my family.

Kam: You're the one who told me to do it.

Kam: So I'm going to take Mom with me, even if I have to cut off your arm that's stopping us.

Kam: I will protect my family, even if we're no longer a family.

Kam: Whatever you and I tried to protect

Kam: no longer exists.

Kam: I abandoned my family and failed to protect our mother...

Kam: All I have left is to grow stronger.

Kam: All I have left is to surpass that man.

Kam: So, Kagura,

Kam: please let me go.

Kam: Stop getting in my way.

Kam: That face, and that voice...

Kam: Don't force me to keep seeing and hearing them.

Abu: I can't budge an inch.

UB: I've never had this feeling before.

UB: If I must fight him,

UB: this planet is too small a stage to do it.

UB: My w*apon can't keep up.

UB: And my body

UB: is being a nuisance.

UB: I feel like everything's shackling me.

UB: Faced with that thing,

UB: even being alive feels restrictive!

UB: Kouka, I'm the kind of idiot who drove even you, an immortal, to death.

UB: But there are some things only idiots are capable of.

UB: Lend me your strength...

UB: Help me protect our family!

U: What are you playing at?

UB: I'm trying to rip out an immortal's soul here.

UB: I have to be prepared to cast everything off

UB: and fight with my bare essence, too.

U: Crushing my heart won't make me disappear.

UB: Your heart isn't the only thing here.

UB: There's also the gift I was going to give my wife, an Altana crystal.

UB: You're beings born from Altana.

UB: You can't stay alive if you're torn apart from your home planet.

UB: To keep my wife alive,

UB: I looked all over that planet for any remaining Altana crystals.

UB: I never expected to use one this way.

UB: Were you born on Earth?

UB: I wonder what will happen if I crush this crystal along with your heart.

U: What do you think will happen first? You doing that, or me chopping you in half?

UB: Beats me.

UB: But I know that, at the very least,

UB: I was the type of guy who'd buy gifts for his wife a month in advance!

UB: As you were born on Earth,

UB: exposing you to Altana from a different planet

UB: is like filling a gasoline car with diesel.

UB: Your engine is bound to break down.

UB: Die, just like us.

UB: Kouka, I finally managed to deliver

UB: my final present to you.

UB: Please accept it.

Abu: Umibozu!

U: If I could die just from that, I wouldn't have such a hard time.

U: It's too bad.

U: So not even you could k*ll me, huh?

Kag: Daddy...

Abu: Umibozu!

Abu: Why are there two of him?

Abu: It can't be!

Abu: He regenerated from his lopped-off right arm?

U: It seems we both had the same idea.

U: The only difference is that he only had one life to throw away.

Abu: You monster!

U: But it looks like I've run out of Altana.

U: Thanks to you,

U: for the first time in centuries, I got to experience death

U: and this feeling of being alive.

U: But that, too, is but an opening act for the end that is to come.

U: Let us meet again someday in the afterlife.

Abu: Hang in there! Hey!

U: Looks like he left.

U: That means I've won.

U: I lost my left arm casting aside my family,

U: but I lost my right arm protecting it.

U: It was a surprisingly good job, for me.

Abu: You...

Kam: Good job, my ass.

Kam: Didn't you have your right arm for the sole purpose of b*ating your stupid son?

Kam: Why is it lying over there?

Kam: Why did you let a guy like that humiliate you?

Kam: Stand up.

Kam: We haven't settled our score yet.

Abu: Commander...

Kam: I know you're better than this!

Kam: Stand up!

Abu: Stop, Commander.

Abu: Umibozu, your dad, is already...

Kag: Stop, Kamui!

Kag: Gin-chan...

Kag: Shinpachi...

Kam: What are you here for?

Gin: You want to tell us to keep our noses out of your family's business?

Gin: Sure, we're not related by blood.

Gin: However, we lived under the same roof, ate the same food,

Gin: and we laughed, cried, and got mad at the same things.

Gin: We're Odd Jobs.

Gin: We don't need blood ties or a reason to help her.

Shin: Kamui-san.

Shin: Unclench your fist.

Shin: Don't make Kagura-chan, your family,

Shin: and yourself suffer any more.

Kam: You're the ones making her suffer.

Odd_Jobs_Gin_cha,Sign: Odd Jobs Gin-chan

Kam: She finally found another home.

Kam: Are you trying to force me to break it down?

Shin: We won't break.

Shin: Just as Kagura-chan never let go of you,

Shin: we won't let her or anyone else go, either.

Shin: So neither you nor we will ever break.

Kam: It's too late. There's no going back.

Kam: My mother's gone.

Kam: Things won't end for us until one of us goes down.

Gin: That so?

Gin: I'll put an end to things for you, then.

UB: What are you...

Gin: This makes me the one who took down the strongest.

Gin: I'm the strongest now.

Shin: Who are you kidding?!

UB: Oh, did a fly land on my head?

Shin: You didn't hurt him at all! If anything, you only hurt yourself!

Shin: Headbutting a half-dead man and getting hurt instead

Shin: makes you the worst and the weakest!

Gin: No matter what anyone says,

Gin: I'm the one who finished him off.

Gin: I've inherited the title of "strongest."

Gin: Along with the job of babysitting you, Kamui.

Gin: What you've been looking for is right here.

Gin: If you want some, come get some.

Gin: Try throwing everything you picked up to defeat that baldy at me.

Gin: Your dreams, all your hard work, and your desire to be the strongest...

Gin: I'm going to trample all over them as a complete stranger.

Gin: That's how worthless the thing you've always wanted is.

Kam: Didn't you hear me?

Kam: I told you to get out of my way!

Gin: Didn't you hear me?

Gin: I told you to come at me with everything you've got.

Gin: Is that all you've got?

Gin: You could never b*at your old man with that.

Gin: You thought you were chasing after him,

Gin: but you'd started running from him at some point.

Gin: From your old man, from your family.

Gin: You're empty.

Gin: That's why you wanted to find a purpose for yourself.

Gin: But with your weak fists, you couldn't blow away

Gin: your old man's wig, let alone me.

Gin: Strongest?

Gin: You don't need a title like that.

Gin: You already have one that fits you perfectly...

Gin: You stupid brother!
