It can't be helped.
There's nothing I can do with my strength alone.
I'm giving up.
But, at this rate, you'll...
Thank you, Shimizu-kun.
You've done enough.
Wait!
I can become your strength!
So, please wait a little more.
Thank you.
Your words are more than enough.
I'll see you tomorrow at school.
Bye.
I've put you through a lot, haven't I?
I get you involved, and even hurt...
...and end up using you as a outlet for my feelings...
Why are you crying?
Because! It's just...
地を這うように進んでは
chi wo hau you ni susunde wa
As if they were crawling on the ground, the same mediocre days repeat themselves over again.
平凡な上昇繰り返す
heibon na joushou kurikaesu
刻まれた運命だって ただ深呼吸
kizamareta unmei datte tada shinkokyuu
Even though my destiny is carved in stone, I just take a deep breath.
足りないのは分かっていた
tarinai no wa wakatteita
I knew it wasn't enough when the passing days were crushed by thunderous roars.
轟音に積されそうな日々
gouon ni tsubusaresou na hibi
針のような雨も止んで君が来た
hari no you na ame mo yande kimi ga kita
When the needle-like rain stopped pouring, you came.
SHA LA LA
I SING FOR YOU
SHA LA LA
FIGHT FOR MYSELF
SHA LA LA
I SING FOR YOU

「退屈」 はもう限界です。
taikutsu wa mou genkai desu.
I can't stand this boredom anymore.
立ち尽くしたステージで殴り返す勇気
tachitsukushita sutēji de naguri kaesu yuuki
Standing exhausted on this stage, I'll find the courage to strike back.
I DON'T CARE
「存在」 さえも君は笑うかな…
sonzai sae mo kimi wa warau kana...
Will you laugh at my very existence?
走り出したペースで流れてった風景
hashiridashita pēsu de nagaretetta fuukei
Running at my pace the scenery passes me by.
I DON'T CARE
正しいかどうかを確かめに行くのですか
tadashii ka douka wo tashikame ni yuku no desu ka
Would you come with me to find out whether it's right or wrong?
Raimei-san!
Your wounds haven't even healed yet!
Where are you going?
Isn't it obvious!?
I'm going to look for Raikou!
Look for him? You don't even have any clues!
Also, how will you fight him without Black Gamon?
I have more than one katana!
Doesn't it defeat the purpose without Black Gamon?
If you do it like this, it's nothing but petty revenge!
It's payback! I'm going!
That's the same thing, you idiot!
Don't call me an idiot, you old hag!
She's only recovered a little and she's already acting like this.
Even I feel like I'm going to faint.
Raimei-san, you should take it easy.
Why are you treating me like this, too?
Miharu, you understand how I feel, right?
Oh, a vapour trail.
Even still, I'm surprised Thobari-sensei let you come here alone.
No idea why.
Did you guys get in a fight or something?
Well, after fighting for so long, some time apart is probably good for them.
They aren't a couple!
That hurt...
I'm begging you!
Please tell me!
I'm afraid we can't give out patient info.
If you could just tell me if she's here or not, that would be fine too.
Please!
Both my friend's honour and my life are depending on this!
Seems like there's someone over there who hates losing too.
What are you talking about?
I'm thinking calmly and rationally.
I'm not wrong about any of it.
The reason he didn't kill me is because...
...he's trying to embarrass me.
Hey, Raimei-san!
Raimei?
Wait up.
I've finally found you!
Huh? Wait a second!
Even Shinrabanshou Rokujo Miharu is here!
And even the four-eyes!
Four-
Is he someone you know?
Hell no!
Since he knows about me, he must be someone from Nabari.
That's for sure.
You don't think he's Kairoushuu?
Him?
If we test him out, we'll figure it out.
Escape from People Technique.
Hey...
It hurts, it hurts!
Because you were chasing me all of a sudden...
...it surprised me and my heart started to hurt...
It's all your fault, you're so mean.
I'm really sorry! I didn't intend to...
Wh-What should I do!? Doctor!
I'm dying!
Hey!
Hang in there!
Note: Sign, Shimizu Raimei.
Normally a Kairoushuu wouldn't be captured so easily.
No matter what ninja he might be, he might be plotting something.
My name is Meguro Gau.
I'm the one who aids Raikou.
Raikou!?
Then you are Kairoushuu, after all.
What business does a friend of Raikou have with us?
Do you still plan on standing in Raikou's way?
Of course! I'll take Black Gamon back and...
Don't do it! There are things you don't know!
What did you say!?
Quit it already.
What do you mean, boy?
I know what really happened.
Shimizu clan's past and its truth.
The truth?
What do you mean, "What really happened?"
I already know what happened.
What else is there I should know!?
You misunderstood the circumstances!
Raikou-san was only trying to protect you!
He had no choice but to kill your uncle!
Protect me!?
You don't have a clue how kind my uncle, Iroku, was!
Do you have any proof!?
I don't have any!
I don't have any proof.
Therefore, my death will be your truth.
I prepared myself before coming to you.
Let's listen to what Gau has to say, Raimei.
Raikou-san told me I shouldn't tell you any of this.
However, I couldn't accept it.
And by making a promise, he finally told me...
To me, being a Shimizu was nothing I was ever proud about.
You want to save a friend?
Yes.
Her parents were killed by an evil corporation.
She said that she would avenge her parents.
I want to save her.
She's a very important friend to me.
This corporation is part of the real world, right?
If it isn't part of the world of Nabari, it isn't something we can meddle with.
Mother!
As the leader of the Shimizu clan, and my teacher, I've learned all of the required skills.
Why can't I save someone when I have the power to do so?
In the real world, there's a much better organization called the police.
We are only to watch over the world of Nabari, and uphold the law here.
Hey, Raikou.
A katana is only used to bring judgement.
It isn't something used to save people.
Even though she said, "See you tomorrow."
I never saw her at school again.
A week later, I heard the news about her death.
Because I couldn't save her, I began to feel this empty, dark feeling.
I began to hate...
...my mother.
Reform?
To change the Shimizu clan.
We'd like to have the current leader, your mother, Kourin...
...to think about what is the right way the clan should do things.
The right way?
Do you honestly think that the way the Shimizu clan just looks at the real world without lifting a finger is right?
You couldn't save a friend who was precious to you, right?
I understand the pain and anxiety you feel.
Since the previous leader, your father, your grandfather and I have been talking about this.
But, I think my mother's way of thinking is the right way...
How is it right?
She was chosen simply for her skill with the sword...
...but, to the Shimizu clan, she's nothing but an outsider.
Always following the rules...
...it's nothing but cowardice.
What's so wrong about picking up your katana to save someone?
Whether it be for Nabari, or the real world, we carry this power for justice.
That's what it means to be a Shimizu in the modern age.
My uncle Iroku's words moved me.
Kourin, renounce your position as leader immediately.
Your way of doing things is old.
The Shimizu clan must have change.
Are you still saying such things, Iroku?
Wh-What!?
Raikou, do you believe what he says is right?
No matter what you say, the Shimizu clan...
...cannot interfere with matters outside of the world of Nabari.
Nor will that ever change.
Do you still have a grudge against me for beating you in the leader election match?
If you want, I'll take you on again right here.
Bring it on.
Father!
I'll show you I'm not joking around!
Uncle, what are you doing?
Didn't you say there wouldn't be any bloodshed?
Iroku, stop before you do something stupid.
Brother! Do you know how much I'm suffering!?
Are you telling me I should let some outsider lead the Shimizu clan!?
That isn't it at all.
You're simply jealous.
You've been working hard all your life so that someone would recognize your strength, right?
What are you saying?
You're taking this too seriously.
There's no reason to take on all of the burden in the world.
Shut up!
You're plenty amazing...
Iroku.
Soumei!
Soumei.
You coward!
Is this what you believe a Shimizu would do!?
Iroku-sama.
Raikou.
Are you looking at me with those eyes, too?
Why? Why don't you understand what's right!?
Right. Ever since we were kids, I've always been trailing my brother's shadow...
...but, I put up with it all my life.
When the Shinrabanshou appeared five years ago...
...I should have tried to take it!
Iroku, enough already!
If you weren't here, I could've become the leader!
If it were me, I'd show every ninja that using the Shinrabanshou is the right thing to do!
I could have changed this unreasonable world!
Your true intentions are clear now.
Are you satisfied, Iroku?
Raikou...
Take the White Gamon.
It is your duty.
Take care of Raimei, Raikou.
My mother most likely knew there would be an opposition...
Perhaps she was trying to confront it all by herself.
How could you, to our leader!
Surrender White Gamon!
Amongst everyone fighting each other, did anyone believe in my uncle?
I had no clue what the adults were thinking.
Get lost!
Mommy! Daddy!
Stop it!
Please forgive me!
I beg you! Spare me!
Raikou.
Raimei loved our parents.
And even our uncle.
A person who carried the Shimizu pride.
It's fine this way.
There's no way I could let her know the awful truth.
I took all of the blame for all of the horrible things that had passed.
I will be joining Kairoushuu.
But, in the end, having Raimei hate me was painful.
Raimei and I both understood that this would be a painful road.
Please keep this promise...
...that you won't tell anyone about this.
But, at this rate, your sister will only misunderstand you...
...and continue to hate you.
I don't mind at all.
The me now is Kairoushuu's Shimizu Raikou.
Even if my sister were to stand in my way, next time I will not hesitate.
But...
Please agree with this.
Should you break this promise...
I'll kill you...
Raikou, return Black Gamon to me.
Gau, you told her...
You broke the promise, didn't you?
Since you're asking for Gamon...
...it must mean that you haven't quit being a part of Nabari, and are looking to face me again.
I didn't make any promise!
I want to show you I'm not so weak!
I'm...
...not so weak that I can't handle the burden you've been carrying!
I didn't see any of it, or hear anything about it!
Compared to you I was nothing but a kid!
Why did you try to take on everything by yourself!?
I loved mother, father, and our uncle...
I loved them, but I loved you just as much!
What kind of idiot do you think I am?
Why? Damn it...
I'm sorry.
Raikou.
Come home.
It's too late.
Raikou.
I killed our uncle, and even Shimizu members alike.
It's also because of me that our parents had to die.
But, that was only...
Pick up your katana!
With Gamon, fulfil your duty as a Shimizu!
Is being with Kairoushuu so great?
It certainly is.
What about you?
If you carry the Shimizu pride...
Why do you involve yourself with the Hijutsu, when you should be watching over it instead?
I'm not travelling together with the Shinrabanshou.
I'm simply by Miharu's side to make certain that greedy people don't use him.
What happens to the Hijutsu is up to Miharu!
If that's so, then I'll no longer hesitate.
This is the end.
Raikou-san, I've come to receive my punishment.
Gau!
I'm sorry, Raikou-san.
I broke our promise.
Please forgive me.
Please let this be the end of it all.
There isn't anything left to hate, right?
She's family...
No matter the decision...
...or the sacrifices you've made...
Isn't having siblings a good thing?
That's all I wanted to say...
Gau!
No!
They've finished treating him, but it's still uncertain of when he'll wake.
You shouldn't feel bad about it.
I was the one who slashed him.
Back then...
...were you really trying to kill me?
If Gau hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.
I'm not sure.
Gau lost his mother, his only family, to a violent young man.
He wanted revenge against this man...
...but instead got beat himself.
It was on a day close to spring.
I killed a man in the real word with these hands...
And after that, I led him to the world of Nabari.
Gau was thinking how could he return the favour to this unreasonable reality.
He was the same as me, and her...
Gau was exactly like her...
The girl I couldn't save so long ago...
After hearing my stories, I wonder, what did Gau think?
Every path I choose, I only continue to involve and hurt those I hold dear to me.
I suppose he despises me now.
If he really did despise you, then he wouldn't have gone out of his way to find me.
Also, if you followed our mother's way of things, Gau-san would have died.
Gau-san cares for no one more than you.
I will continue to stand by Kairoushuu and support our leader.
I will also grant Gau's wishes.
As for White Gamon, I'm leaving it there.

The light that you search for in your journey

let us make our gentle oath.
終わらない夢を抱いて生きてゆく
owaranai yume wo daite ikite yuku
We will look forward and embrace our never ending dream.
Is it okay if I stay here a little longer?
If feels as if...
It's deep and dark, just like the bottom of the sea.
Next time: Determination.
