02x11 - Rashōmon, the Tiger and the Last Tycoon
Posted: 01/12/24 17:58
I've tracked you down where Tiger Octagon was.
Yeah.
It seems you've improved your acrobatic skills.
Weretiger. What are you doing here, Akutagawa?
I've come here to k*ll you.
Don't you understand the situation we're in right now?
There's a good chance we may not have a home to go back to.
No matter how hard I try, I can't figure you out.
I don't recall ever asking you to.
Oh, dear. Little locked, Ogawa still has a habit of going rogue.
How annoying. Atsushi, we don't have time
to deal with them right now. Let's move on.
But he's. Trust me on this. If you follow
my instructions, you won't have any problems.
Understood. Nakagawa Dazai has been listening in.
He's on the other side of this device.
He wants to talk to you. What have you done?
Are you there?
Hello, Zelda. How are you, my dear?
Yes. I apologize for calling you so late.
You laid off another chef. My darling,
you realize they came all the way
here from an esteemed European restaurant?
Ah, well, I don't blame you then.
You made the right decision. Any cook
that isn't aware of your distaste for cream cheese should simply perish.
Yes. She's still studying very hard in London.
Of course, I haven't forgotten. There isn't
a moment. I don't think of it.
Sorry. It seems I have a guest. I'll call you later.
I love you. Take care.
That was a brief farewell.
Boy. Looking for something? This? Perhaps.
So you're the one guarding the control terminal?
Let me tell you a secret as to how
I've accomplished as much as I have.
If you want something to be done correctly,
you've got to do it yourself.
Tell me, boy, do you know how much the Moby d*ck weighs?
It has a total mass of , tons,
dropped from an altitude of over ft.
It would explode with the force of tons of.
That's butchery. No one would allow such an atrocity.
Another piece of advice. Don't let the values of others affect you.
That said, you and I are both busy people.
If we have to fight over the
control terminal, let's keep things simple.
We'll both run towards it on the count of three.
The first of us to take it shall be the victor.
If you win, you may do with the Moby d*ck what you like.
But if I win, you will agree to serve me in my search of
the book I told you about.
Should I take his challenge and run when he does?
What am I thinking? I can't trust him to keep a promise.
I'll just have to make a dash
for it and get out before.. He can react.
Three.
Business. Tip number three. It's easy to predict
the actions of someone who's given an
opportunity. Too good to pass up.
Impressive. You still have some wind left in your lungs, I see.
Spending only , may have been insulting.
How about $, from my own portfolio? Let's up the ante.
Oh, I haven't introduced you to my ability yet, have I?
Let me show you. Witness the great Fitzgerald.
Need an explanation for however much money I spend,
the amount of power I have rises in turn.
You should be honored. I haven't had
to use that much capital in quite some time.
My dear Zelda, on the other hand,
could spend that much in a month.
With the Moby d*ck on course and you under my thumb.
Everything is going according to plan.
No. I'd come. Our strategist has the ability
to make a certain number of precognitions
based on the information she has available to her.
Now that I have you here, it would be
a shame if you got away. I think I should remove your arms
and legs just to be safe. Yes.
Well, looks like we have a surprise guest. You would be
awkward. No. Octagon. Otakon. It's octagon.
That's it.
Kyoko, can you hear me? It's Darcy.
We negotiated with the gifted Special Operations Division.
We can get you out of there.
I'm going to walk you through how to pilot that drone.
No more.
Listen. The truth of the matter
is the agency doesn't have a reason to rescue you.
You aren't actually an official member yet.
The agency has an entrance test that it administers to all applicants,
and as of now, you haven't passed it.
The test is given to see if you have
the heart and strength to help other people, even complete strangers.
I don't think I would pass.
So that's how it is.
You believe a former assassin can no longer become a good person?
For both of our sakes, I hope that you're wrong.
Apologies, Mr. Akutagawa, but I'm a bit tied up at the moment.
Who gave you permission to lie around?
You aren't getting away from me this time. Stand up and fight.
Things really couldn't get much worse. I was
never the right person for this mission.
You told me earlier that you couldn't figure me out.
But from where I'm standing, you're the one who's completely incomprehensible.
Those fearful eyes of yours. You clearly
have no faith in your own abilities,
yet you still involve yourself in futile battles.
Where does your misguided sense of morality come from?
That's quite enough, little man. I don't
appreciate being ignored on my own ship.
Shut up! My main course will be the Weretiger.
I would like my dessert to wait quietly.
I hate being second when it comes
to anything. I'll ask that you reconsider. As you.
He stopped it with his bare hands. Good.
For your valiant efforts. I'll teach you the fourth secret to success.
Don't bother. Rush home on Black Torrent.
grand.
Now then, where were we?
Aha. Yes that's right. There are many
forms of power an individual can exercise money, political influence, social status.
But it helps if you have all of them at your beck and call
like I do. Huh? He's gone.
Power my ass. What's the point of having all of that?
If the only thing you want to do is decimate a city?
Real power exists to be shared with
those who are in the depths of despair.
Your mistake is not surprising. But power
does not exist in order to help the weak.
In fact, the very essence of moneymaking
is based on extracting profit from them.
To then offer that same profit back
to the weak is to repeat a pointless act,
akin to going round and round through a revolving door.
Power must be used more meaningfully.
Is that how you ignore the lives
that are destroyed? Don't pretend you don't know.
When you talk about destroyed lives. Are
you referring to weak people like yourself?
I looked up your history in your early childhood.
You were nearly k*lled by the head
of your orphanage. Twice. In fact,
one day after breaking your ribs, he
had these choice words for you.
After everything your parents did to you
when you were just an infant.
This doesn't even count as abuse.
We appear to be slowing down in preparation for dissent.
We have just over ten minutes until impact.
I see now what.
Stop.
They got away. Impossible.
Earlier I told you that I found your actions completely incomprehensible.
I take that back. You keep fighting
Weretiger because you feel you need to earn permission to exist.
You're even willing to sacrifice your own life for it.
You make me sick.
Yeah.
You couldn't be that naive, could you?
No one can grant you that affirmation.
No stamps certifies that you deserve to live.
Do you think risking your life for
others will earn you a place in this world?
Since when is it a crime to believe it will? You are..
Pathetic. I never expected you'd be this much of a fool.
I could k*ll you a hundred times
over if I wanted to. And I'd accomplish nothing.
Accomplish nothing? Indeed. Only victory in battle has real value.
Without those successes, I'll never gain any acknowledgement. Especially not from Darci.
What did you say? What exactly does
Dorsey have to do with any of this?
Here you are. My little stray dogs.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses in this world. Kiyoka
you clearly have a talent for k*lling because of that.
You think you have no right becoming
a member of the Armed Detective Agency.
But that's simply not true. I can
prove to you in an instant how that's fundamentally false.
Kyoka, if I may ask, how many lives have you taken? .
Huh? A mere . Listen to me.
You don't know everything about the detective agency,
and you don't know everything about yourself. No one can know everything.
We call those unknown qualities potential. Even Atsushi,
who has advocated for you from the beginning,
was once feared as a monster,
but now he's risking his own life to do what only he can do
and protect the city from devastation.
There. The cargo elevator.
Fitzgerald's ability is out of my league.
My only chance is to figure out a way
to steal that terminal from him.
Is there no end to your ignorance?
What did you say? This elevator goes
to the ship's deck with no other exits to speak of.
He'll have us trapped like rats in a maze.
No way. I can't believe I once
allowed you to best me in battle. It fills me with shame.
It makes it all the worse. Knowing
you can't even justify your own right to live.
I may be pathetic like you said,
but I'm still better than you.
At least I'm not a m*rder*r who
exists only to flaunt my own strength.
Say that again. You have so much power and status,
yet the only reason you fight is
so that people will fear you.
You're telling me that's not pathetic?
You take that back. Where, Tiger? You
think I have power and status?
Let me make it clear to you why you disgust me.
It's because you're always feeling sorry for yourself.
Constantly dwelling on the past despite the fact
that you have everything you could want in this world.
You think I have everything? You're blessed with your gift.
You're blessed with friends and with nothing but sheer luck.
You're praised and revered by Darci. You
don't even understand how lucky you are.
Yet all you can do is lick your old wounds.
Without those successes, I'll never gain any acknowledgement. Especially not from Darci.
So that's how it is. This is
all about Darcy. You always been.
That's enough hide and seek for today.
In a matter of minutes, the Moby
d*ck will enter into an irreversible trajectory.
Once that happens, not even this will
stop it from crashing into the city.
As a result of my ability, I will
be the only man left standing.
Tell me, Mr. Magnate. If I defeat
someone as strong as you will,
I no longer be considered weak.
I'd put money on it. Then I would
die a thousand times to make sure I win.
Monarch.
Former.
Is he actually able to keep up with my gift?
Arctica was so strong. How can he still..
Think of himself as weak? He's completely irrational.
How many people has he k*lled because.. Of his ego?
Grant me your strength.
Did before.
You're in my way, you fool.
No, you're in my way. You're shit!
Oh, this it does. I will, Darci, my ass.
You're more pathetic than I am. Shut your mouth.
Nothing comes close to what a loser you are.
So amusing. Look at you two. You're both so very much alike.
What? Don't you even dare compare me to this guy.
This technique makes my black armor double as muscle.
My body is too feeble to sustain it.
You've taken a break, Akutagawa. Shut up! You're next on my list.
The control terminal comes first. If this ship hits the city,
even Dazai won't survive the blast.
I'm not sure anything.. Can k*ll that man.
Answer me this tiger beetle. Is there
something in this world for which it's worth sacrificing?
Anything and everything you have. For me. It's my family.
Once I have.. The book in my possession,
I'll be able to bring my daughter
back into this world. Your daughter?
My wife, Zelda.
She couldn't bring herself to accept our daughter's death.
To this day, she hides in a fantasy
that our daughter is studying abroad in London.
I'm going to make that fantasy a reality and reclaim my family.
I don't care what the cost is.
Use as much of my wealth as it takes.
I'll spend all of it if I have.
His power is in. It's like standing
in front of a massive tornado.
Is this his real strength? The sheer
will power of the Guild's leader.
Akutagawa. What now? Am I? A fool.
Is it even possible for me to escape from my memories?
Of course it is. The words from your past are fundamentally meaningless.
They do not dictate who you are now.
I see.
For what it's worth, I think
Darcy acknowledged you a long time ago.
Yeah.
It seems you've improved your acrobatic skills.
Weretiger. What are you doing here, Akutagawa?
I've come here to k*ll you.
