That's Friendship

1 RELEASE Congratulations, Staz.
You're now officially free to go.
That so? How's it feel to have your original vampire powers back and to be a noble demon again? It sucks.
Now I have to go slay that monster.
You're the one who's happy that my powers are back.
You're right.
He's the perfect opponent to test your restored powers on.
Now show me the talent I've unlocked in its fullest form.
For my sake! You finally admitted your true intentions.
Patronizing and forcing others to cooperate for your own goal.
We're exactly alike.
That's what I hate about you, Brother.
My dear, dear little brother Staz Don't forget our deal.
All right If you can stop him, then I'll tell you how to resurrect a human.
You'd better.
THAT'S FRIENDSHIP Pretty neat trick, huh? This is what I used just now.
I sent it off into the pig's wide-open mouth, and when I expanded it That's! Ta-da! Bell-chan's back in the house again! My, myjust as I expected, it's as gloomy as a funeral here.
Bell-san - So annoying - Shut up, small animal! Uh, I Hmm It looks like you already heard from Franken.
Your face says you think you're causing everyone trouble.
Don't worry about it.
Wolf doesn't think that at all.
Oh, so you want to play with me too? Sure, let's play.
Already saw this trick.
YouI like you.
I really like you.
Can't decide All of your parts are nice.
Yourlegs, maybe Ordinarily, I'd go for your legs, but It won't be that easy! That arm But I just You thought you broke it? It didn't heal.
And it's definitely broken.
But that doesn't matter to me.
Care to guess why? How would I know? I'll tell you.
The answer is because it's all just decoration.
My hands, feet, none of them are moved by the bone, muscle, or nerves.
I simply control them with magic.
So the me you're seeing right now, is not my true form.
The real me is the phantom manipulating this dead flesh.
This is my magic that I kept in a separate container.
And now it's going back into its original container.
All right, it's time for one of those quizzes you so enjoy.
What creature changes form when its magic is outside of its body? The answer is me.
I didn't even answer yet You have no talent at giving quizzes.
But that was interesting.
Three minutes.
That's how long Wolf can remain in his wolf form.
Wolf's a werewolf, right? His transformation has a time limit? Enough about him Hey, we're not done talking here! Sorry, I have to talk with Franken.
Just the two of us.
In private.
What a skank What's the meaning of this? If you keep me in here, I can't fix that girl.
Oh, so you did intend to fix her? You're hoping Wolf loses quickly.
That way, you'll be free to tinker with your next toy, Fuyumi-chan, without anyone interfering.
Now, let's get down to business.
You knew all along, didn't you? That Akim could use spatial magic.
Did you go snooping around my lab? I told you You can't hide anything from me.
So I suggest you tell me everything you know right now for your own sake.
Is north that way? What I wouldn't give for a cape and bodysuit right now.
A glowing stone pendant wouldn't be bad either, except that I'm a guy.
I guess I'll be a trooper and fly using the power of the atom! Soaring high in the sky! Nicevery nicewonderful! That's so much better than when you were swinging that pole around! That speed! That power! That cleanefficient style! Beautifuland yet somehow frail No, that frailty might be your beauty.
I'm running out of time The magic I released outside will return to my body.
It's the non-werewolf mongrel part of me that causes it.
The "frail" aspect you mentioned.
Later, you patchwork freak.
That hurt I forgot that I can't fly.
Huh? Wolf? Staz?! What the hell are you doing here? A new friend? You gotta be kidding me How're you doing that? I told youI'm a phantom.
Isn't that cheating? Yesyes Does it feel good? Yesthat's the spot You really know how to massage a small animal What the hell, Bell?! What happened to your usual entrance?! A disgusting little creature, aren't you? No! I was just Fine, whatever Looks like Franken will be out for a while.
So let's go and cheer Wolf on.
From a box seat.
What? Wolf! What the hell is that? Did that trick surprise you? Damn It's wearing off faster than I expected Staz-san! What's he doing here?! Out of time, Wolf? This is the first opponent who's survived your werewolf form, isn't it? Out of my way.
I'm not done yet.
Oh come on.
Why don't you introduce me? This Visual-kei guy is the so-called monster, right? Ohyou know about me too? How? What happened to learning about how to resurrect a human? What about you? Where's Fuyumi? I'm the one asking.
Answer! I'll answer after you answer.
Shut up.
I don't have time for this! - That's not my problem! - Excuse me If you don't have time, hurry up and say it! I said I don't have time to tell you.
What do you mean, you don't have time to tell me you don't have time? That's not what I'm saying! I'm doing the asking.
If you don't feel like answering then I'll make you both disappear.
This guy possesses a huge quantity of magic while I'm running on empty.
He undid his transformation?! But why? He should still have time Special Kill! Vampire Tetsuzanko! You're ten years too early.
What part of that was "vampire"? Could it behe? I knew it Listen, bullet-less I have to build up my magic In other words You're saying if you fight now, he'll tear you apart in a heartbeat.
Yeah, in my current state.
But I'm guessing not you.
So let's put aside why we're both here.
And focus on what we came here to do.
You know what that means? That it's my turn.
Exactly.
Don't go dying until I recover, vampire.
What's up with those two? I get it now Heremembered his promise to me! What? Just you, by yourself? Yeah, wolf man went back to fetch his favorite stick.
And I came here to this wasteland to kick your ass.
I see.
This sure is a lonely place you blasted me away to And yet, you look pretty alive and kicking.
Try to quiver a little more like you're dying.
Here's a quiz for you.
Why do you think I patiently waited for you even after being blasted way out here? Beats me Maybe you found an ant's nest and got distracted.
Or you're just an idiot.
Wrong.
The answer is because I felt that this wide-open area will let me fight you two with all I've got.
You suck at giving quizzes.
I was so looking forward to it.
Why'd you have to come alone? Isn't that obvious? Because I'm more than a match for you.
That And your last attack too.
I don't like it.
Like I care.
There's no beauty You are so annoying! You patchwork freak! - Staz-san - Die already! - You're right, Bell - Don't run away, you! He does seem to have gotten stronger but he's reckless.
Are you done, now? I get it now Tiny attacks are meaningless against you.
So, what'll you do? A single strike.
I'm going to unleash an attack so big, it'll blow you away with a single strike.
Just watch.
Kame me ha—! What was that supposed to be? What's the matter, Fuyumi? Need another drink? No, it's not that.
I was just surprised by Staz-san's move I get irritated just watching you.
You're built of good parts, but they're completely wasted on you.
Every one of your moves is grandiose, but full of vulnerabilities It's not beautiful.
That one just now was especially bad.
Trying to unleash such a move with that swagger is the mark of a third-rate fighter.
Bastard What did you just say? That move comes from the greatest hero in the universe whom I respect.
If the real thing used that move on you just now You'd be turned to dust for sure.
That's how awesome that move is.
You're still alive because I'm just a poser.
I look up to him so much that I carelessly imitated his move.
Of course, I'm third-rate.
I'm not worthy to use such a move.
That's why I have to fight with my own moves.
Yes, you should use your own Shut up.
Don't interrupt.
I've just decided.
I'll kill you for sure.
With a finishing move.
You get that? My original super finishing move.
You're going to die from the super finishing move created by the guy you just ridiculed as third-rate! I see.
You've finally gotten serious.
Now you're becoming worthy of eating.
Let's both give it everything we've got.
See? It turned out just as I thought it would.
He is what Staz was missing An opponent worth bringing down with all his power.
A clear-cut "enemy," so to speak.
Now pay close attention, Liz.
This is what Staz's noyour brother's magic looks like.
Here I come.
Huh? Why'd you close the space? Must be nice being a low-level demon with no worries.
If we keep on watching, we'll get blown away too.
Well, I got some things to do, so bye.
Hey! We always get this treatment, huh? Wonder how the fight went Beautiful Right now, I feel like I've met you as you were meant to be.
In but a moment We metand then parted.
And this is the outcome.
Truly beautiful.
Get up.
Unfortunately, I've used up all my remaining magic.
I have no desire to fight further Get real.
Who said you could go ahead and die in satisfaction? Our fighthas just begun.
Can I ask you a question? For me, strength is beauty itself.
But what is it to you? A burden.
I see I've been thinking of which move to finish you off with.
But it's becoming a pain, so I'll just put you to rest with my favorite finishing move.
So long, you sick patchwork freak.
Not bad It's quite a fitting move to end this fight.
I think so too.
You done here? Sorry, I know you just finished fighting, but I have a favor to ask.
Now I'm convinced.
Staz is the one for the job.
I don't think he'd want to do it.
It doesn't matter.
Let's go, Liz.
There's work to be done.
Oh, only two left Time's running out.
What's taking them so long?! Now, now This is serious! Damn it I'm sure everyone has important things to do.
My goal is to resurrect Fuyumi.
So if what you're saying is true, then I won't hold back.
Yeah, it's true.
She'll disappear in a few hours because of you.
Then why're you challenging me once more for Fuyumi? You know how I am I'm not satisfied until things are settled once and for all.
I guess neither of us have much logic to our motives, huh? Let's do this.
Come with me.
I got the goods.
How did you?! I'm a pro at using spatial magic.
Back there He probably thought he managed to get away.
Come on in.
This technique is the same as mine Wrong.
Mine is the original.
Yours is just an imitation.
Akim doesn't recall where he acquired this technique.
And until he met me, he thought it was uniquely his own.
Okay, how about telling me now? Who was the demon you used to make Akim? Fine Back then, my research seemed to be at a dead-end I couldn't obtain the strong linchpin body part that would be the key to holding his body together.
Then - Who is this? - Hi there, Franken.
Have you been a good boy? I have a present for you.
I asked who you are.
Step outside and see.
You'll know who I am.
HERE'S THE THING YOU WANT MOST RIGHT NOW You'll know who I am.
Inside that box was the body of the spatial magic user that became Akim's core.
So he's the thief that stole my spatial magic? Probably.
Who was this Santa Claus anyway? I don't know I have no idea at all.
Geez Just when I think I've finally found the magic thief, it's on to the next mystery? Well, well If it isn't the young lady who brought Staz to Demon World Acropolis.
H-How did you know that?! Or rather How come you're your lordship's here? What?! Don't worry.
I haven't reported it to anyone.
I'm here this time about a different matter.
Frankenstein and Akim Papradon You will both face judgment for the multitude of crimes committed in disturbing the peace of the demon world.
Put them to death? No, Liz.
Just take them into custody for now.
Please wait I promised that I would save this ghost girl I'm afraid you won't be able to keep that promise.
Liz.
Yes, Brother.
GUILTY Satisfied? From the day I was born I have never been satisfied with any result.
Then why do you fight? I don't see any point for another fight over Fuyumi.
Yeah, you wouldn't.
That's how you've always been.
Even back then when you fell from the sky.
Who is this guy? Who are you? - Staz.
- Where'd you come from? - Above.
- I know that.
I want to know why you fell from up there.
I ran away from home.
I want to go to Japan.
Huh? I want to meet Hayao Miyazaki.
Who's that? Anyhow, it takes money to go to the human world.
Do you have money? Then I'll teach you a way to make quick money.
Fight me.
If you win, I'll give you money.
If I win, you become my henchman.
Okay? All right.
I give up.
You give up?! You haven't done anything! You've just been my punching bag! You didn't fight at all! Calm down, Wolf! He's just a spoiled rich brat! He's not! He fell here from above I can tell.
You're a noble demon! You are, aren't you?! Answer me! Why won't you fight me like you mean it?! Because if I did that I'd kill you "So what if he's a noble demon?" That's what I thought back then.
That I'm strong.
Even if I'm a mongrel, I figured there wasn't that much of a difference But guess what? Turns out I was so weak you had to take pity on me, even with your power sealed away.
I wasn't worthy of fighting at your best.
How can I be satisfied with that?! See you again I'll be back to settle this once and for all.
Next time, I'll make you fight for real.
I won't.
Not against you Because you're my friend.
That was wonderful.
Brother?! So you have a friend, Staz.
W-What're you doing down here? And how did you just appear out of nowhere?! Liz had some work to do.
And we had her bring us here.
I believe, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
" Sorry I must say, this woman and that boy earlier You have good friends, Staz.
Don't you think, Liz? In spite of himself.
What is it with you guys? If you're done, hurry up and leave.
Oh, but I do have some business.
Did you forget the deal we made? About resurrecting a human? First of all, let's go and meet this girl you want to resurrect, shall we? Which way is west?
