Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e21 Episode Script
The Raging Wind Mage
1 Eyes as clear as the azure sky.
That is how you tell a "Contractor.
" The stigma of the wind, marked on the one who has been entrusted with the entire world's atmosphere by the Spirit King of the Wind.
A blast of wind in my heart Under the great weight of a single pain Emotions break loose and run through the darkness The memories unlocked them Blast of wind Just like water, destiny will begin to move forward on its own Will these hands go on being soiled, enfolded in hatred, not knowing true brilliance? Tell me if I can ever dream again A blast of wind in my heart softly blowing through my heart Will you protect me? Yeah, I promise I will.
This is the one.
Thank you.
He's not here.
They said he hasn't been back since that Pandemonium incident.
I haven't been able to reach his cell phone at all, either.
Kazuma.
Here they come! They're both in the second class.
That's Lai, the magic beast user! Get him, Lai the Devil Summoner! That's Shin the Shining! Shin! Show him your javelin throw! Look at this.
They're going wild since this is a battle between two second-class players, which is considered very rare.
At any rate, I didn't think you would accept this battle.
I upgraded myself from the first class to the second class and became a Seed.
I figured I'd show off my strength to everyone.
You won't get a chance to do that.
You're a magic beast user.
You're able to summon enormous beasts, but you yourself have no power whatsoever.
You're the weakest Seed of all! Don't give me that bullshit! You're nothing but a stunt performer who twinkles your fingertips! That insult will cost you.
I will crush you! Let's go! You're too slow! Javelin! No way My fastest and strongest javelin It won't work! Your power can't even leave a scratch on me! This is Halphas! My trump card, which can nullify magic! Nullify magic?! That's not all.
Come forth, Fenrir! Hresvelgr! What? It's impossible He can control three magic beasts at the same time?! Let's see who the weakest one is now! Go! Ha, now look at you! Don't run away! Come on, fight! Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Not me, not me, not me! If only If only I had more power What is this? So slow Fe-Fenrir! I guess I didn't quite kill it.
Come back, Fenrir! Well, well, you sure got rid of that thing in a fluster.
I see.
When a summoned beast dies, a magic user receives the same amount of damage.
You're afraid of the repercussions, huh? Hresvelgr! Shit! What's up with you? Your eyes Those fangs! Something the matter? Now, are you ready to give up? Come forth, Fafnir! Mushu Fushu! Raksasha! Who the hell are you? You stay back.
You'll die if you try to interfere! Shin the Shining Lai the Devil Summoner Both of you are Seeds, eh? Answer me.
Where is the Pandemonium where both of you changed your classes? Huh? You're the first class? Hurry up and go home! Wait I don't mind telling you if you can beat them.
Go! My-My summoned beasts!! W-Wait! I don't know! I don't know where Pandemonium is! I see.
So that it, we're done here, right? Just let me go! I'll do that after I ask your brain.
No clue, huh? Now it's your turn.
Don't worry.
It'll be over soon.
No! Stop it! Ja-Javelin! H-Huh? S-Stay away! S-Stop it! Please, I'm begging you! Don't worry.
It'll be over soon.
No info on Pandemonium, huh? The Seed that uses the curse? Oh, the one who caused problems at Ayano's school, huh? I can use that.
This is terrible Many incidents like this have been occurring in various locations around Tokyo.
The ones who've acquired the power from Pandemonium battle each other, and the winners gain points and become stronger.
Battles like that have taken place every night.
And the ones who accumulate enough points and advance to the next class are called the Seed.
Supposedly big audiences gather for battles between high-level Seeds.
Look at these scratches.
These were done by winds A few days ago, a man showed up during one of those battles and he's been hunting the Seeds ever since.
He mercilessly presses the Seeds to the edge of death in an attempt to find out the location of Pandemonium.
Could that be Don't tell me big brother has been Kazuma I did it! I did it! I changed my class! Now I'm in the third class! I've gone from Seed to Rune Master! Check out my power, everyone! No one can disobey me now! That's right! No one! You watch, those of you who humiliated me! Now it's time for you to grovel in the face of my power! You just wait and see, Nanase! What's the matter? Is something bothering you? No, nothing.
It's just that I have trouble understanding your intentions, Master.
Hmm It's true that our data collection is almost completed.
It's fair to say it would be meaningless to stay in this country any longer just for the plan's sake.
Then would you like to return to headquarters? Don't be ridiculous.
What would be the point of going back now? Things are about to get interesting.
Interesting, Master? I don't understand.
I'm not a human, after all.
It's true that you're not a human.
However, you're certainly not just a doll, either.
I created you as one with a heart.
I know you can do it.
I know you can enjoy it and find it interesting.
I I Go ahead, be confused.
Agonize.
That will make your heart develop.
And one day you will grow a true mind of your own, although you're no better than a doll right now.
That is the greatest task you have been given.
Yes, Master Bernhardt.
As you wish.
Izumi, what was that deep breath about? It's still too early for the radio gymnastic exercises! Hey now This is called a "sigh," Catherine! A "sigh!" I get it! If you're tired, you can leave things to me and go to sleep! How can I go to sleep? Our job is to guard Nanase Kudo.
Utsumi's escape is the police's blunder.
Any more blunders will not be tolerated.
"Kudo" Any more blunders will not be tolerated.
Any more blunders will not be tolerated.
Like I said, let me take care of it! You may be able to battle, but you can't set up a barrier and protect Nanase.
Your turn comes when the enemy shows up.
What is this? Naumaku, samandabazaradan, kan! Izumi! Wh-What is this? Who's doing this?! Metatron! You're here, too, huh? Kazuma! Why are you here? Of course I'm here to catch Utsumi and make him confess the location of Pandemonium.
So you came here to help me! Don't let your guard down, Catherine! Izumi! He's the one who broke my barrier! What? Why would you do that, Kazuma? Why would you break the barrier that was protecting Nanase Kudo? She's a friend of Ayano Kannagi's, you know! That doesn't matter.
Stay asleep.
Izumi! I can't believe this, Kazuma! To think you've become our enemy! Do you want to fight me? You'd better know your place, little girl of the McDonalds.
Wh-What did you just say? You hold it right there! I will stop you in the name of the McDonalds! Oh, yeah? Metatron! Kazuma Why? Let me down! I can still fight! I told you to let me down! Can't you hear me? Ow, ow, ow! Ayano-chan Nanase! Where's Nanase? I'm sorry.
What? Wh-What were you guys doing then?! Will you hear me out? That can't be true! Kazuma would not There's no way Izumi or Catherine would mistake Kazuma for someone else.
Utsumi's cursing power wasn't what broke the barrier.
It was the power of overwhelmingly strong wind magic.
Then Kazuma's the one who kidnapped Nanase, too? Is it possible that he switched to Bernhardt's side for Lapis? That's not it.
They said that Kudo-san left by herself after the barrier was broken, as if someone were controlling her.
In other words, Kazuma only helped Utsumi kidnap Kudo-san.
Why would he do such a thing? It's just like the Seed-hunting he's been doing every night.
What Kazuma is looking for is the location of Pandemonium.
Basically, Kazuma used Kudo-san as bait to lure Utsumi.
If he lets Utsumi kidnap her and keeps him on the loose, he might be able to find clues on Pandemonium.
No! He would never do stuff like that! Kazuma is selfish, violent, arrogant and lazy I can spend all day naming his shortcomings and not finish, but still, he would never do stuff like this! This is definitely not the way he does things! You're right.
But the Kazuma I know is different.
What? It was two years ago when I first met Kazuma.
I was in London for training.
Back then, no one knew the name "Kazuma Yagami.
" But the rumors were spreading Rumors of the existence of a wind magic user who was like a devil.
A grim reaper wrapped in frosty wind, who broke everything he touched in two.
That's Kazuma? Yeah.
The Kazuma I encountered during a particular case was exactly like the rumors made him out to be.
He didn't think twice about harming others.
He used everything that he could use to his advantage.
When the case was finally solved, I trembled with joy.
I was delighted that I never had to see the man again.
But the Kazuma I know is I know.
I was surprised, too.
Kazuma has changed since he came back to Japan.
He's like a different person now.
He changed? What happened to him? That much I don't know.
What's important right now is the fact that Kazuma has gone back to the old Kazuma, the one known as the grim reaper.
He's gone back to his old self Right.
Right now Kazuma will do whatever it takes to find Pandemonium and kill Bernhardt.
And if it takes destroying a whole city, he'll do it without hesitation.
Even if it means sacrificing thousands or even millions of lives.
Kazuma has gone back to the way he was in the past.
Because he saw that girl Lapis? No It's because she reminded him of Tsui-Ling-san Kazuma is no longer the Kazuma that I know.
We're here.
Ayano-chan.
You must win against Tsui-Ling.
What? Kazuma has lost himself, caught up in the past.
The present has more worth than the past.
You have to wake him up to it, and help him open his eyes.
You're the only person who can do that.
You're the only person who can stop Kazuma, Ayano-chan.
I'm counting on you.
Save Kazuma.
Me? Me, stop Kazuma? Sorrowful eyes What are you searching for in that sky? Using the blade of the wind, you keep everyone from getting close to you Quietly bleeding, crying and shouting all alone Ancient power, awaken from your slumber I've been waiting for this meeting for so long You are hiding incurable wounds Let me hold you in my arms one day The only thing Kazuma sees right now is the past.
He has no interest in the present whatsoever.
Tsui-Ling was everything to Kazuma.
She still has a hold of his heart There's no way I can beat her! Yukari Yukari? You idiot! Why would you do such a reckless thing by yourself? Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "The Decision and the Hesitation.
" The bond? Between Kazuma and me?
That is how you tell a "Contractor.
