Devilman: Crybaby (2018) s01e01 Episode Script
I Need You
1 Love does not exist.
There is no such thing.
Therefore, there is no sadness.
That is what I thought.
Are you okay? It's going to die.
No! Don't! It's gonna die.
Give it to me.
No! Let me kill it.
No, you can't! Why the hell not!? People despised me.
And you were a crybaby.
AKIRA Why are you crying? You knew it was gonna die.
No.
The weak ones die.
No.
That's not true.
You're crying, too, Ryo.
Why? I'm not sad.
It was gonna die.
You're crying, too, Ryo.
At the time I didn't know what you meant.
10 YEARS LATER Akira, I need you right now.
I Need You On your mark.
Get set.
-Miko's boobs are bouncing like crazy.
-You pervert.
So fast! Just what you'd expect of Kamioka Academy's witch.
She might be doping.
I don't wanna run with our school's girls.
Why's that guy doing track-and-field? He's staying at Miki's place.
-Maybe he wants to go home with her.
-Hide your phone.
It's fine.
Coach is senile.
Forget about my phone.
It's that super high-schooler.
-Miki, you're amazing.
You're so fast.
-You were fast, too, Miko.
MOYURU KODA JYUNICHI KOTOBA What a bizarre murder.
It's all over the news.
TEAMMATE MURDERED A person is dead.
Do you know nothing? MOYURU KODA You've been teammates for years, right? There's a rumor you two went to a questionable party.
A drug party? Word is they went to some pseudo-Satanic party called Sabbath.
I'd sign a deal with the Devil if it'd make me run faster.
Wasn't the guy who died fast, too? What? Why? He's crying.
That person is crying.
Akira's crying again.
Was someone sad? Ah, the super high-schooler.
I'd cry, too, if my friend died.
But this guy isn't crying, is he? Why are you crying? Oh, hey.
Let's do a 4-by-100-meter relay.
A mixed relay.
-There's supposed to be an event, right? -Seriously? Isn't it a memorial service? Wonder what happens because of this case.
You seem concerned, but what you really want is to run 4-by-100, right? It's Mr.
Nagasaki.
Sorry, gotta go.
Are you busy? I just finished an interview and was wondering if you're hungry.
There's an Italian place that's hard to get into.
I got lucky and got a table.
THE TRACK WITCH -The guy taking photos of Miki? -Probably her boyfriend.
-Fans across the county are bummed.
-She's out of your league, guys.
Miki is a star, after all.
Don't look like you're gonna cry.
How could you refuse to speak? Things would've calmed down if you looked upset.
The Asian Games are coming up.
You're suspected of doping, so, prove your record in the game coming up.
For an idiot like you There you are.
Akira, have my parents buy you a phone.
You shouldn't feel hesitant with them.
I wouldn't really use it.
You can text all your class and teammates.
And clear the history after you watch porn -on the living room computer.
-The living room?! I gotta do something.
I'll take the back way.
Even in a car, It's dangerous downtown, -so, be careful.
-I won't be home late.
Bye.
Fudo, we should It's popular among the young people in high society.
They say it fills you with energy and willpower.
There are stories that people change, or go missing MIKI: I'M SORRY.
Oh, I have to go.
Goodbye.
MIKI: IMPROMPTU PLANS FOR TRACK.
HAVE FUN.
What am I doing? This is the riverside Where lowlifes gather The ones stuck here All have foul mouths Success is hidden behind the clouds here Our future and the sky are both gray The air's dirty The water's just as bad My asthma's worse 'm feeling weak A place even God wants to leave An experience I can see Only with my eyes Can't live luxuriously It's choking me But it's my home Let me through.
I won't give up, but I'll shout my name I made up my mind -So, what did you think of the tour? -Hey, I've seen you before.
You do bikini modeling, don't you? She's famous.
-The witch of high school track-and-field.
-So, you can run fast? Excuse me.
Sir.
Please, stop.
Akira.
-I happened to pass by -Did you follow me? Did you just come out from the sea or something, Mr.
Mermaid? Yup, I'm a mermaid just arrived from the faraway sea.
-Shut up.
-Then go back to the faraway sea.
Akira! Akira.
Who is it this time? A guy in all-white, and a coat in the summer? Ryo? Come with me, Akira.
Excuse me.
We're in the middle of something.
You guys stay quiet.
-What did you just say? -Akira.
Ryo.
Stop messing around! Wow, wait, wait! Why, you Akira, come with me right away.
Akira, who is that guy? Ryo Asuka.
We're the same age, but he's a professor in the States.
Let's go.
No, don't go, Akira! Don't follow a guy like that! They're gone! Look at what you've done! She's so fast.
Ryo, is that? A machine gun.
Not that.
You can't survive by obeying laws.
You can't drive in Japan with an American license.
-You're driving without a license? -Get a phone.
I couldn't track your GPS, so I tracked the girl's.
-You know Miki? How'd you find--? -Why do you run? It's common in track.
People ask a lot.
The human ability of movement can never reach those of dogs, cats, or birds.
Weapons and vehicles are what bring out the abilities of humans.
Fikira died last month.
He was a Russian scholar.
I was asked to research the ancient people, and in order to learn an old language of the Amazon, I went deep into the jungle.
Professor Fikira? Professor Fikira? Professor.
The chirping birds were getting on my nerves.
But they're caught now, finally.
They're quiet now.
That can't be.
This is Hey, what are you doing? I can't keep it down.
I must die while I'm still human.
Damn it.
No, you'll explode.
A shame, since I came to know more about you.
You devil.
Damn it.
Fikira's burnt corpse weighed twice as much as he did when he was alive.
Twice as heavy, even though he was charred.
Something was inside him.
Something? A devil.
A devil? The natives he was researching were the devils.
Devils have existed on Earth since long before humans.
They are ferocious, extremely savage, and have no emotion.
But they are creatures skilled at fighting and surviving.
No devil has ever been seen in it's true form.
They cannot exist unless they merge with some living thing.
They merged with superior creatures each time in order to survive, keeping their abilities and evolving.
You mean the extra weight was a devil? And now there are devils who have gained the ability to live while still keeping a human body.
On the other hand, if we don't lose to the devil's will, it's possible to gain its power while remaining a human.
Fikira probably tried to prove that with his own body.
But he failed.
There have been a lot of cases lately of brutal unsolved mysteries.
Strange mass disappearances, reports of unprecedented violence, athletes who suddenly show astounding physical abilities, and other things seen by people.
Those phenomena dovetail perfectly and can be explained easily.
The devils are spreading.
The heads of police and the Public Security Division around the world must know.
-Why haven't they made it public? -They're scared of a panic.
But if it's the truth, everyone should know.
It'll be a disaster if people don't take precautionary measures on their own.
If Fikira's hypothesis is true, we're going to confirm it, get evidence, and tell the world.
That's my mission.
Is it here? Sorry for dragging you into this.
If possible, I wanted to find out the truth with you.
But there's a big risk that comes with it.
You might get eaten by a devil, or end up pouring gasoline over your head, just like Fikira.
Ryo, why me? I'm scared.
I'm so terrified.
This is a horrific legacy that Fikira left me.
I must find out the truth.
And I wanted to tell this to you before anyone else, as soon as I could.
You're the only one I can trust.
I need your help.
We're gonna tell everyone the truth.
When we go back alive, everyone will thank us.
Thanks.
Okay, Ryo.
I trust you, Ryo.
Thanks, Akira.
Let's go.
There's no going back.
We're going to prove devils exist! Here you go.
Do you prefer Devidevi? Is he a first-timer? Yeah, he just got dumped by his girl.
He's cute.
Hope to bump into you later.
It's Sabbath, the latest popular party.
What? Are we going to summon the devil? I know the Sabbath party is where people get possessed by devils.
But the devil won't come to a fake scene like this.
Ryo.
Demons love blood.
Ryo.
What's wrong? What is it? There's blood! -Hey! -That guy! Ryo.
Both Black Mass and Sabbath come with blood.
Blood.
Blood! Blood! Stop! Ryo, stop it! They're all scum anyway.
There's no need to be sad.
You're scum, too! -Ryo! -You, too! You want to touch my boobs? Look behind you.
Take that! It started.
No.
Help me! But Amon.
Now's your chance.
Possess Akira.
Amon.
Ryo! Why do you run? Your physical ability is nothing, compared to even cats and dogs.
You would get eaten by a devil.
Eaten Eaten Eaten Eaten Amon? Amon? I've made Akira into a devil.
And I might have created the most powerful, ruthless, and brutal devil in this world.
Daniel Marchildon
There is no such thing.
Therefore, there is no sadness.
That is what I thought.
Are you okay? It's going to die.
No! Don't! It's gonna die.
Give it to me.
No! Let me kill it.
No, you can't! Why the hell not!? People despised me.
And you were a crybaby.
AKIRA Why are you crying? You knew it was gonna die.
No.
The weak ones die.
No.
That's not true.
You're crying, too, Ryo.
Why? I'm not sad.
It was gonna die.
