01x16 - Cleaning The Yard

[bunniefuu]

He's been shot all over his body,

mainly in the internal organs,

more than a dozen times.

He's made it out of the woods somehow

but if it hadn't been for Big Bro Shinzo's

first aid, it would have been too late.

We have an injured person

among us at the moment.

Let's go!

Activate Hibernation.

That voice

Don't panic.

They're not out to k*ll Mutsumi.

Either way, Hibernation can only

be disabled with the head's ring.

I'll leave the Tanpopo battalion to you.

I'm going to get the previous head's ring

back from him.

A blackout?

Everything's shut down.

But this room should have backup power.

What on earth is happening?

NANAO

NO CONNECTION

It's no good.

I can't get through to anyone.

They've cut off all communications, too.

His pulse is getting weaker!

What should I do?

If this keeps up

Taiyo will die.

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 16

CLEANING THE YARD

The Cherry Blossom Ring

that you shared with the ninth head

it gives you the same authority as

the head over Hibernation and the like.

You have no right to that ring

Father.

I can't possibly leave this room.

But I have to do something, or

I'm pretty sure it was on this shelf.

Found it!

Listen to me, Mutsumi.

The blood that flows in our veins

has a special power.

A special power?

That's right.

By using that power,

you can do any kind of evil thing,

but on the other hand, you can also

use it for extremely good things.

Oh?

The only thing is, great power

always comes with great suffering.

If you ever want

to use this power for someone

then make sure that it's only

for someone you care about so much

that you'd want to accept

all of his suffering, too.

Please work.

His temperature keeps going down.

His pulse, too.

Don't do this to me, Taiyo!

You're always saving me.

I still haven't done anything for you!

Please don't leave me!

And now, mission accomplished.

Don't you lay a hand on Mutsumi!

Could this be

Get away from Mutsumi.

Is this

What's going on here?

My body feels so light.

His movements look slow to me.

No

I don't even need to see them!

I know!

I can beat him.

I see.

That's Yozakura blood, huh?

The someinine is activating

the cells all over your body.

But its sensitivity is so overwhelming

that it destroys

the brain's processing power.

Even in the case of Hazakura, half of us

end up dying because we can't tolerate it.

It's either master it or die.

Calm down, Taiyo.

You have to keep your senses in focus.

Mutsumi?

It's no good. Just run

I can't leave you behind, Taiyo.

It won't be easy

to get out of here, anyway,

since they seem

to have activated Hibernation.

But neither do I intend

to let them use my heart for evil.

When we die, we're going to die together.

Close your eyes.

Breathe in and out slowly.

Focus only

on my voice.

Let it echo throughout your body

and feel it with your heart

the fact that I'm right here with you.

It's useless!

You've said your goodbyes, right?

I can

see you!

What's going on here?

I can't regenerate.

You damned monster!

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

The ninth head's Cherry Blossom Ring

why don't you give it back Father?

You haven't changed at all, Kyoichiro.

You're looking well.

Futaba and your other siblings,

they're all looking well, too.

Not to mention, it seems like

that boy's been awakened, too.

No wonder I'm so proud of my kids.

Still, this forest

hasn't changed, either, has it?

Look at all these flowers

that you siblings planted in bl

Father.

After all this time,

I'm not surprised to see you alive.

But

why did you go so far

as to use Tanpopo to make Taiyo stronger?

The blood of the Yozakura head

is a potent drug.

More than a few people

have sought its power, only to perish.

Mutsumi herself never

would have resorted to such a tactic

unless she was facing a crisis.

And so, you created a crisis.

Knowing that Nanao would treat him,

you dealt him a possibly fatal blow,

minus any murderous intent.

You used the Hazakura Battalion

and Hibernation to split us all up.

You made them cut off

the mansion's electricity

because doing so

would turn off the house's traps.

Isn't that the idea

you put into their heads?

And so, Mutsumi,

now with her back against the wall,

had no choice but to gamble

on the Yozakura blood

being compatible with Taiyo.

Why would you drag

all these people into your plot,

mock them, and deceive them?

All for Taiyo?

There's nothing odd about that, is there?

I want him to be a strong enough husband

who can fully protect my beloved Mutsumi.

I'm just being a father.

What about you? You sure seem to be

fixated on that husband of hers.

Are you that taken with him?

Not by a long shot.

I wish he would have died, if possible.

I see.

All right, I've achieved my goal,

so I'll be leaving now.

I'm sorry about Goliath.

You take care now.

You're the same as ever,

aren't you, Father?

Arrogant and smug, and you can't

even fathom how your own family feels.

Apparently, Mother's death

has taught you nothing.

Stay away from those two.

Calm Storm.

Taiyo!

Whoa!

Don't do this to me, Taiyo!

Please don't die!

Uh, actually, I'm alive.

What am I going to do? The side effects

of the Yozakura blood are making Taiyo

Hey, Mutsumi! Come on!

I-I know! Artificial respiration.

Thanks, Mutsumi.

Thanks to you, I'm saved.

Taiyo.

All right!

I finally got us connected!

Damn it, what a train wreck!

Mutsumi! Are you guys okay?

Yes! We're both fine, Big Sis Shion!

But I thought all communications

got cut off during Hibernation.

How did you

I rebuilt the emergency hotline

from way back when.

All right! Just stand by for now

without deactivating Hibernation.

So both Mutsumi and Taiyo

are safe and sound, okay? Big Sis!

Right! Roger that!

Now, then, sorry to keep you all waiting.

It's time to clean the yard.

- Okay!

- Okay!

I'll go first.

Kengo, can you hear me?

You bet!

I'm going to guide you along

the shortest route to capturing them all.

Kengo, you lure them in.

Roger!

Stand by! Okay!

There she is!

It's the Yozakura head!

Get her!

Start out by turning south right there!

Roger that!

All right! Once you've got

that group breathing down your neck,

circle around to your right!

Okay!

A thousand, was it?

I've got most of them following me!

All right! We've got her cornered!

Oh, I'm so scared! Save me, Nanao!

The only one we're capturing

is the Yozakura head!

Just k*ll the fourth son!

Hang on to me real tight, Big Bro Kengo!

What the It's a pitfall!

What a great view!

Go ahead, Big Bro Shinzo!

Roger that.

Wh-What the hell?

W-We're trapped!

Let us the hell outta here!

I've never put a thousand people in one.

Wonder if it'll make it

strength-wise and all?

Damn it! So damn hard!

Not even sh**ting it works!

Okay, here it comes.

Doing this

is so bad for my stiff shoulders.

Don't ever come here again.

Yay!

Serves you right!

That's our Big Sis Futaba!

Hey, wasn't today burnable garbage day?

You've gotten stronger, Kyoichiro

way stronger than I was at your age.

But I'm the one who taught you

how to hold Steel Spider, how to bend it,

how to spread it out

I taught you everything.

And I'm still out of your league.

Now, then,

see your father off like a good son.

Didn't I tell you from the get-go

that you're giving back that ring?

Surely you have no need for the keys

to the house that you abandoned?

I'm so proud to see how you've all grown.

Families are hard, huh?

You guys!

I'm so glad that you're both safe.

Taiyo protected me, you know!

- Taiyo!

- Whoa!

- My bad! It was all my fault!

- Ouch, ouch, ouch

No, no, it wasn't your fault, Big Bro!

- Hey, hey

- Sorry, Taiyo!

But what happened?

He was in such critical condition.

I'll tell you all about it later, okay?

Oh, man! Sorry, Taiyo!

Taiyo, calm down!

What's gotten into you?

It's all right, Mutsumi. Just step back!

Hey, great to see you all in one piece!

Big Bro Kyoichiro!

All right, why don't we head back

inside the mansion and have some tea?

I'm just kidding, Futaba! Just kidding!

He's crazy strong!

Why would Taiyo

He got injected

with Big Sis Mutsumi's blood.

Could this be

someinine-induced hyperactivity?

That's right, Nanao.

Someinine awakens all of the body's cells,

but since it's

extremely difficult to control,

quite often, the mind and body

are unable to withstand

the blitz of excessive information

and end up going berserk.

Hey, this brings back fond memories!

When we were little, we siblings

used to go berserk from time to time.

This is no time to be basking in memories!

He'll learn to control it bit by bit.

But first, an emergency measure.

DEATH SOUND DX

"BLAST MODE" CAN BE USED FOR t*rture

Huh? Are those my headphones?

Even during rampages,

the senses can prioritize

the voice of someone close to him.

By focusing on that, we can

short-circuit his processing capacity

and calm him down.

And so, Mutsumi

can you sing us a song?

Hold up, Kyoichiro! There are

tons of other ways to do this!

MUTSUMI

Nope! This is the only way!

This is all for Taiyo's sake!

This is 100%

you wanting to hear her sing, isn't it?

No, no, it's all right, Big Sis Futaba.

It's for Taiyo's sake, after all.

BLAS

Taiyo!

Huh? What?

Taiyo!

- Thank goodness!

- Thank goodness!

Wh-What the heck happened?

I heard a sound like the world

was coming to an end or something.

A-A dream! That was just a dream, Taiyo!

What's going on here, exactly?

Don't we usually clobber someone

when we want to wake them up fast?

Oh, please.

Just a whim, that's all.
