01x16 - The Children's Dreams

[bunniefuu]

The cost of losing his past

was huge for Fushi.

March's dexterity,

the Spirit Bear's strength,

and Gugu's flames.

Unable to transform to any of these forms,

Fushi was caught in a difficult struggle

when the Nokkers came knocking again.

Yet with the help

of the residents of Jananda Island,

Fushi was able to defeat the Nokkers

and reclaim his past.

The island is guiding Fushi

to become a more mature human being.

Now, a toast to our victory!

Cheers!

-Cheers!

-Cheers!

Fushi, this is for you.

It's cow blood.

There's more food?

So tell us the rest of the story!

About the black-hooded guy!

Right.

The forms I can transform into

are from people, animals,

and plants I've known who have died.

And the Nokkers have come

to steal those forms from me.

That Nokker looked like that

because he had stolen

the form of a bear from me.

That means you can transform into a bear?

Incredible!

So why don't you just transform

into a Nokker

and beat them up?

I'm a genius!

I've never tried that,

but the Nokkers just don't feel the same.

It's as if they're empty.

And so you're doing

what the black-hooded guy wants?

Well, I'm only putting up with him

because I don't want to lose everyone.

So what are your dreams for the future?

-Dreams?

-Yes. Something you want to do.

To become strong enough

to defeat the Nokkers on my own, I guess.

-That's a bit weird.

-I think it's cool.

Not like that. But something more normal.

My dream is to become

the model of a famous artist.

Well, there's still so much I don't know.

I think after I leave this place

and learn even more,

maybe something will change.

That's right.

Our first dream is to escape.

And once we get out,

we'll do whatever we want

in a place where we can!

I want to keep lots of pets!

I want to become a doctor!

My dream has already been fulfilled.

What was it?

I wanted to know where the sun rises from.

And I got to see it over the ocean.

Oopa was born here.

So she doesn't know much

about the outside world.

What about you, Tonari?

Me?

My dream is…

To surprise my dad.

What do you mean?

Isn't your dad dead?

You're going to leave this island

and become an author, right?

Tonari.

I heard the final match

is tomorrow morning.

Also, about the ships.

It's no use. Captain Skyfish…

He won't listen at all.

I figured.

What? We can't use the ships?

If you help out, it will work out fine.

Well, eat up, everyone!

Tomorrow is the final match!

We have to get our spirits up!

-Is this all there is?

-Is this all there is?

Don't complain!

Eat as much as you like.

Awesome!

Did you make all of these from your body?

Tonari, try this! It's great!

So delicious!

Everyone? What's wrong?

Morning glory from the west works wonders.

I'm sorry. I completely forgot!

"Today, I'll definitely

invite him for dinner."

"I want to make all the people

who worked for my sake happy."

I'm sorry

for bringing you here.

This is my story.

Hey, Ligard, what's your dream?

My dream is to surprise my dad!

"Where did this book come from?

It's so interesting!

I wonder who wrote it?

It's my own daughter!"

Your dad is home.

I was seven years old.

You've worked hard, dear.

Welcome back, Dad!

I'm home, Tonari.

It was written in a book.

It said that before one turned seven,

their fate lay in the hands of God.

It was a cold day.

When I woke up that morning,

my mom was dead.

The church condemned my dad as the k*ller.

In that area,

accusations of m*rder led to exile.

So I was forced to make a decision.

To stay as an orphan

or to follow my dad into exile.

I decided to follow my dad to the island.

Because I believed him.

Because I believed my dad wasn't guilty.

What welcomed me into exile

was a world in which men

had given up their humanity.

The exiles and their families

on that island

created a new culture.

A culture that recognized

every freedom imaginable.

Every freedom

including m*rder.

There was no organization to control that.

Of course, there were benevolent people.

But everyone on the island

was obsessed with one shared passion,

the tournament

determining the chief of the island.

But it was obvious

that they didn't want to become a leader.

They just wanted to satisfy

their desire to rule.

I think I will participate

in the tournament.

Don't do it, Dad!

There seemed to have been victors

who used the tournament

to leave the island.

But it's dangerous.

I know it is.

But with all the surveillance

on the island,

it's not realistic

to escape on our own strength.

In that case,

it's safer to leave it proudly.

I'm really sorry.

I know you don't like this place.

But…

those people are k*lling so happily.

If you're around me during the tournament,

it will be dangerous.

When the tournament is over,

wait for me at the Ivo Port.

Don't worry.

I won't die.

I prayed to God

that my dad

would be the last one standing.

Yet my dad wasn't standing there.

This is everyone from the first round.

There'll be more soon.

Where is my dad?

Where are you?

Where are you?

I haven't found him yet.

Wait a bit longer.

He's probably going to be

the new island chief.

Yes, he's strong!

Erran G. Dalton, was it?

Happy birthday!

With this book,

weave together your dreams.

Sincerely, your dad, Erran G. Dalton.

I'm sorry,

Tonari.

The poison took effect. He's dead.

That's what he gets for k*lling Klef!

What should we do?

Toss him into the ocean.

Ready.

Throw!

Eight years old.

I decided I would write my story.

Why are you crying?

Nine years old.

I found a place I could live.

There were many other kids

like me there.

When we leave this place,

what will you guys do?

Ten years old.

We shared our dreams.

For the first time since coming here,

I truly laughed.

Eleven years old.

We created a plan to escape.

Twelve years old.

I joined a shipping crew.

It was our only opportunity

to escape the island.

I wanted to use it as a means of escape.

But their eyes were always on me.

That hurts.

Get out of here!

Criminals shouldn't be here!

Thirteen years old.

I realized that the world outside

wouldn't show us any mercy.

For a moment, I lost sight of myself.

Fourteen years old.

I met him.

Pure white.

Have that boy board the ship.

He will undoubtedly win the tournament.

He will become a legend.

He will upend everything.

Jananda's fate

and yours.

Guide him.

That person was a "passenger."

Other than handlers,

there were occasionally people

who came to watch the tournament

and buy prisoners that interest them.

What that person said was true.

As soon as he arrived,

he captivated everyone here.

He was an immortal!

They say that

every story has a turning point.

Right now might be the time.

No.

It must be!

Pioran!

Fushi!

You fool. You're finally here.

Pioran, I'll be able

to get you out of here soon.

But this room is locked from the outside.

The Spirit Bear

can break down that door easily.

Tomorrow is the final match

for the position of island chief.

Once I win,

I'll be able to prepare a ship,

and we'll be able

to leave this place proudly.

Fushi, you've become so strong.

Ligard is calling me.

I'll be leaving now.

Don't push yourself too hard!

I won't.

See you later.

And so the final match finally arrives!

This battle will decide

the next island chief!

Immortal, let me see your hand!

If you have trouble

making them faint or give up,

use these.

Oopa's blow darts.

Thank you.

I thought you wouldn't come.

I'm glad you did.

Don't worry.

I'll win, and free everyone.

Participants, enter the ring!

It has been a while.

Fushi.

How pitiful was that March girl.

All her hopes and dreams

instantly brought to nothing.

March.

You k*lled her.

It's you.

Yes.

But there's nothing to worry about.

Death brings freedom.

It's a bear!

-k*ll her!

-Get her!

You can do it, Immortal!

What's the matter, Fushi?

Skewer me through my chest,

as you did back then.

How inadequate.

In that form,

you can't even lay a finger on me.

Why did you come here?

Did you come to die?

On what purpose did you come here?

I don't have a good feeling about this.

How does it feel to be a girl?

Light, soft,

and dexterous?

It's my gift to you.

I wasn't sure where to strike

at that time.

But I would feel bad

if I were to pierce through her belly.

So I went for her face.

But I had a bit of trouble.

And in the end,

I didn't have a choice,

but to take her head.

Disappointingly,

I wasn't able to finish it in one strike.

And caused her unnecessary suffering.

You…

Did you k*ll Parona?

Didn't I just say as much?

I'll k*ll you!

It seems

you're still unable

to defeat me.

You may be immortal,

but you're quite weak.

Morning glory of the west works wonders.

-The immortal monster has fallen!

-No way!

-Our victor has been decided!

-I don't believe this!

A new island chief has been selected!

Immortal…

IN THE NEXT EPISODE

Hayase, who becomes the new island chief,

makes a shocking proposal

causing a riot

among the residents of Jananda.

Hayase takes Fushi away

and intends to claim him for her own.

Tonari fights to resist her actions.

And once again,

she is pushed forward

by her feelings for Fushi.

THE DEFEATED
