01:00The Shinken... the divine sword... has been taken... and I saw two Kamuis this time.
01:27There are two Shinken and two Kamuis... but why?
01:50Feeling all right, Miss Kanoe? You look rather pale.
01:54Maybe that's from... well, because you're tired from peeping into other people's dreams.
02:02The Shinken was hidden in the Togakushi shrine. Apparently it's been stolen.
02:07Huh? Who would have done that?
02:12That funny kid from Osaka. It couldn't have been him, could it?
02:15I have no idea.
02:24Such a strange dream...
02:34Two Shinken and two Kamuis... my sister Hinoto... what does it all mean?
02:49The sword's physical makeup is quite different than that of ordinary metals.
02:53In fact, it bears a close resemblance to organic material. Furthermore,
02:57it has the ability to continuously repair and recreate itself,
03:00much like the metabolic function of organic life forms.
03:03According to our test results, I would have to say that this sword is alive.
03:08Indeed, just as I thought.
03:10Mr. President, what is this thing? Where did it come from?
03:14That's classified information. Continue testing,
03:16but first increase security throughout the facility and put all personnel on alert status.
03:21Right.
03:30Someday he will come. The one who will take away the divine sword.
03:35I'm sure of it. Whether he is a dragon of heaven or of earth, he will come.
03:51Any changes?
03:56Not anything specific. So far, his blood pressure and pulse are still normal.
04:02Seeing him like this, he looks like he's just a pretty little doll.
04:07But from a genetic point of view, he's perfectly human.
04:13I heard that you, Mr. President, were the one that named him Nataku.
04:21It's the name of a mythological Chinese god.
04:25A being with no soul, according to the ancient myth.
04:29At birth, he was merely a formless lump of meat.
04:32He was then recreated in human form.
04:35However, in the end, though he had a human body, it was a body with no soul.
04:42The same can be said for this Nataku as well.
04:45His body is human, but he has no heart.
04:48He lacks emotions. He does not feel sad or feel any pain.
04:53He loves no one and hates no one. He is an organism who merely exists.
05:04He exists only for one purpose. The end of the world.
05:18Apparently, he had a heart attack.
05:36He hasn't regained consciousness yet, but they said that for now, the worst is over.
05:42The doctors mentioned the possibility that he received some kind of strong shock to the chest
05:46area, but they aren't sure exactly what caused this.
05:50It's hard to imagine that Dad would end up like this.
05:54But he'll get better. I'm sure he will. Dad's a strong man. He always has been.
06:02You're right. He'll get better, no doubt about it.
06:04But till then, be sure to let us know if you need anything.
06:08Thank you very much.
06:10Sure, no problem. Uh, leave it to us.
06:22Kamui, you can't blame yourself for what happened.
06:27I planned on leaving as soon as I was able to take possession of the divine sword.
06:33But someone stopped me, if he'd given it to me sooner.
06:37Look, I understand how you feel, but all this might be part of your destiny.
06:43I remember what the old stargazer said. The Shinken of Kamui.
06:49The Shinken of Kamui will be taken by one of the seven angels.
06:55And when it appears to Kamui again, the divine sword will have changed its shape.
07:03I'm not sure what he meant. But I am sure of one thing.
07:06Whether you like it or not, the final battle has begun, Kamui.
07:12The end of the world? The promised day? Is that what you're talking about, Sorata?
07:18That's right. The final battle. We're all gathered here for just that purpose.
07:23Because we're all members of the Seven Seals.
07:32Kamui, I don't remember my parents or even what they looked like.
07:41The monk who took me from my home when I was three in accordance with the old stargazer's
07:45predictions once told me that my mom didn't want to give me up.
07:50That she held on to me and wouldn't let go.
07:56She was crying when I left. She stood there in the rain,
08:00crying for a long, long time.
08:07Maybe it was a rainy day like this, but I don't remember any of it.
08:17Point is, without a family, I don't know what it feels like to lose a close relative like you did.
08:22But I think I know how heavy the destiny you're carrying on your shoulders must be.
08:30I understand, too. At least a small portion of it.
08:33Hm? Who are you?
08:37I am your one and only blood relative, Kamui.
08:40Blood relative?
08:42Yes. In fact, I look a lot like your mother.
08:48What?
08:59The individual Kamui was chasing managed to escape. I believe it was indeed one of the seven angels that took the Shinken.
09:24I, too, believe that to be the case.
09:26Princess Hinoto, one thing I don't understand.
09:28The fact that the divine sword was hidden in this shrine was known only to you and a few others.
09:34Who told them?
09:36Even I do not know the answer to that, I'm afraid.
09:38I see.
09:40Princess Hinoto, there is one more thing I must tell you.
09:48Someone was following the angel along with Kamui.
09:52Yes. One of the seven seals, like you.
09:54He is the visitor from Koya.
09:56Koya? So one of the seals really was from Koya.
10:00Princess, I'll speak with you again later.
10:24I'm your mother's younger sister. That means I would be your aunt.
10:52My name is Tokiko Magami.
10:54You know that Magami was your mother's maiden name, right?
10:56No, I don't.
10:58I see.
11:00My sister Toru passed away without telling you much of anything.
11:02But I'm so happy to have finally gotten to meet my nephew like this.
11:04If you are my mother's sister, perhaps you know then.
11:06Do you know why my mother died?
11:08Yes, I do.
11:10In fact, the reason I came here today is to tell you.
11:13If you are my mother's sister, perhaps you know then.

11:17Yes, I do.

11:33Yes, I do.
11:35In fact, the reason I came here today is to tell you.
11:37If you are my mother's sister, perhaps you know then.
11:39Do you know why my mother died?
11:41Am I right?
11:45You see, my sister took her own life.
11:55Are you saying she committed suicide?
11:57Are you saying she committed suicide?
11:59No, there can be only one reason for what she did.
12:01My sister died in place of someone else.
12:03In place of?
12:05Yes, that's right.
12:07That is something to be expected from someone of Magami blood.
12:09Magami?
12:11Spelled Ma as in Truth and Gami as in God?
12:13The Magami clan as in...
12:15the Shadow Sacrifice?
12:17Looks like you're not just an ordinary boy.
12:19Looks like you're not just an ordinary boy.
12:21Now tell Kamui what that means.
12:23Well, it's like I said.
12:25Anyone who's in the Magami clan is a Shadow Sacrifice.
12:27Anyone who's in the Magami clan is a Shadow Sacrifice.
12:29Shadow Sacrifice?
12:31That's right.
12:33There's an old magic spell that calls for the use of a talisman called a scapegoat doll,

12:41Shadow Sacrifices are living scapegoat dolls.

12:55but one theory says about half our Prime Ministers have been under their protection.
12:57but one theory says about half our Prime Ministers have been under their protection.
12:59Your mom must have been protecting someone too.
13:03You understand, Kamui?
13:05She was a Shadow Sacrifice.
13:07But for whom? Whose place did she take?
13:13My sister Toru left home when I was still in junior high school,
13:15but before she left,
13:17she took me aside and said,
13:19I want you to know I'm carrying a certain person's child.
13:21I want you to know I'm carrying a certain person's child.
13:23This child will someday hold the key to what happens to the world.
13:25This child will someday hold the key to what happens to the world.
13:27That child was you, Kamui.
13:29That child was you, Kamui.
13:31That is why my sister burned,
13:33and put upon herself all the misfortunes
13:35that would have otherwise befallen you in the future.
13:37She was your Shadow Sacrifice.
13:39That is why my sister burned,
13:41and put upon herself all the misfortunes
13:43that would have otherwise befallen you in the future.
13:45That's impossible.
13:47It's true, but I understand.
13:49This is difficult for you because you don't know what you are yet.
13:51This is difficult for you because you don't know what you are yet.
13:55Kamui, there is one more thing I need to tell you about,
13:57Kamui, there is one more thing I need to tell you about,
13:59concerning the Shenken that was taken away from you.
14:01I don't know where the stolen sword is right now,
14:03but someday a Shenken will fall into your hands.
14:05but someday a Shenken will fall into your hands.
14:07What do you mean?
14:09There is another divine sword that you are destined to hold.

14:19and destiny decrees that when it once again appears and reveals itself to Kamui,
14:21the divine sword will have changed its shape.
14:23Is that what you're talking about?
14:25That's right.
14:27In other words, two divine swords exist.
14:29The one that was taken, and the one that you will later hold.
14:31The one that was taken, and the one that you will later hold.
14:33And who knows where that one is?
14:35No one.
14:37It doesn't exist in this world yet.
14:39Some story.
14:41Now it's even more unbelievable.
14:43Everything that you've told me that is.
14:45Everything that you've told me that is.
14:47Kamui!
14:57I guess I must fight inside the barrier field.
15:07Huh?
15:09A barrier field!
15:11Someone's put up a barrier field!
15:13There in the direction of the hospital.
15:15to the hospital. Kamui, the other divine sword will someday fall into your hands. On that
15:21day we shall meet again. Kamui, wait! I'm going with ya! Yes, we shall meet again, Kamui.
15:45Who's that? What's he doing inside the barrier field? Run away, Kamui!
16:15Hey! A Windmaster?
16:38That's useless.
16:45I wonder who sent these paper spell servants after us.
17:13Could it have been one of the Dragons of Earth, one of the Seven Angels?
17:19But anyway, that was a really marvelous barrier field. I couldn't possibly have made one like that.
17:25You're saying that you're...
17:27In the same situation as you. You see, I'm one of them, the Dragons of Heaven. I'm one of the Seven Seals.
17:36Huh?
17:39Oh no! The editorial office!
17:42Hello? Oh, I'm sorry, you've got the wrong number. No problem, bye.
17:46I'm sorry. It was a pleasure to finally meet you, but I've got to get back to the office right now.
17:51Well, I'll be seeing ya. Ciao!
17:55Please, take my umbrella, won't you? It's really coming down, and I wouldn't want you to catch a chill.
18:02Well, goodbye again.
18:14Seichiro Aoki, editor.
18:18What are you doing here?
18:21Kamui.
18:23So it's you.
18:26What were you doing?
18:28Depending on your answer, you just might get out of here alive.
18:31Hey, wait a minute. Were you the one that created the barrier field?
18:35I take it that you're the visitor from Kouya, right?
18:38If you know that, Missy, then I figure you must be one of the Seven Seals.
18:42I don't think so.
18:44I take it that you're the visitor from Kouya, right?
18:47If you know that, Missy, then I figure you must be one of the Seven Seals.
18:51Well, it looks like Missy here's on our side.
18:54I met another one of the Seven just a few minutes ago.
18:57What, another one? I see. So they're all gathering around now.
19:02In fact, we just met someone ourselves. She's Kamui's aunt, one of the Magami Clan.
19:07Magami? Shadow Sacrifice?
19:10Well now, looks like you know this industry pretty well, Missy.
19:13So, you one of the great spiritualists from the Sumeragi Clan?
19:17No, huh? Maybe you're the one from Ise.
19:21Bingo! Gotcha.
19:24Now listen, dude. All of those things that Miss Magami told us, you didn't believe any of it, right?
19:29Of course not.
19:31Well then, wouldn't you like to hear a more detailed version from someone who knows a whole lot about who you really are?
19:38All right, let's have this Missy from Ise be our guide.
19:42Your guide? To where?
19:44You know what I mean. I was told by the old stargazer that there's a dream-seeing princess living underneath the Diet Building.
19:58Missy, you're beautiful.
20:03Yep, I've decided you're the one.
20:06I don't know what you mean.
20:07Now Kamui, we'll let that princess give us the rest of the details, okay?
20:20You're not warm and friendly, are you?
20:37To be continued...
