Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e01 Episode Script
Return of the Wind
1 Eyes as clear as the azure sky.
That is the symbol of one called "Contractor.
" One who has been entrusted with the entire world's atmosphere by the Spirit King of the Wind, the Stigma of the Wind.
Come forth, Enraiha! Spirits of fire, lend me your power! Die, Youma! And there you go.
Sorry to keep you waiting! Nice work.
Ayano-chan.
How was it? Fine! The monster was really creepy-looking, but it was easy.
Then let's wrap up by goingto karaoke, just like always! You really love karaoke, Yukari.
So do you, Nanase-chan.
Yeah, I like it.
But you know, since we're right next to the sea, why don't we go enjoy the salty wind? That might be fun! OK, let's.
Go to karaoke after that.
Salty wind, huh? I really hate the wind! The Wind Returns We have been awaiting your arrival, Yagami-sama.
This way.
Y-You're Kazuma! It's you, Kazuma! What are you doing here? I see.
So you're the other psychic they called in for this exorcism.
Who gave you permission to come back to Japan? It's not like I was exiled or anything.
I go where I please.
Do you know him, Yuuki-kun? "Yagami" is a fake name.
This is Kazuma Kannagi; he's considered a failure in our family.
Yeah, that was a long time ago.
Why did you come back? Gonna come back to the Kannagi family? Not a goddamn chance.
Glad to hear it, for your sake.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't care who does this as long as someone gets rid of the spirit possessing this mansion.
But just so you know, every item in this room is worth far more than you're being paid.
Make sure you don't damage any of them.
Don't worry.
Stand back, you useless idiot.
I'll show you how fire magic works.
Give it your best shot, youngest child of a branch family.
What did you say? Why you It's coming.
Time to do your job.
Die.
Evil spirit! Dumbass.
This isn't an evil spirit.
It's a youma.
Save me! Please save me! I'll pay you! I'll pay you twice what we'd agreed! Your life isn't worth very much, is it? Ten times, no, fifty times! Have a nice day.
One hundred times! You've got a deal.
I'm done.
You've got three days to deposit the cash.
O-OK.
W-What are you doing? I don't know what happened between you two, but you should treat the dead with He ain't dead.
Hey, how long are you gonna pretend to sleep? What? The Kannagi family are fire magic users who can control fire at will.
They're protected by spirits of fire; even a member of a branch family wouldn't die from flames of that intensity.
Kazuma, you used wind? Of course, I'm an exception Sorry, Nanase, Yukari! I have to go.
Bye, bye! Did we do something wrong? It is pretty late.
I don't think it's that late.
Ayano-chan's family is strict.
Not like ours, huh? Well, she is the eldest daughter of the thousand-year-old Kannagi family.
This is bad, really bad! I'm two hours past my curfew! If my dad finds out I don't want to even think about it! Sister! I'm so sorry! I wasn't out playing or anything.
I was.
Um Ayano-neesama! Ren! Don't scare me like that.
What's wrong? Brother Brother has come back to Japan! Brother? My brother! Did you have a brother? How mean.
I can't believe you've forgotten.
You fought him at the Ceremony of Inheritance to see who'd get the Enraiha.
Remember? Enraiha? Oh, now I remember! The guy who lost after a single blast of my magic! But can you really call that a fight? That's really mean, sister.
I see.
Kazuma was doing well, then.
Shinji Yuuki, your failure here is a stain upon the name of the Kannagi family.
From no on, don't be so prideful, and be dedicated to your training.
Y-Yes.
I'm terribly sorry family head, Genma-sama! Raise your head.
You don't need to be so formal.
Father.
Father.
Genma-ojiisama, I didn't know you were here.
You're being too loud, Ayano.
Kazuma-san's a wind magic user? There have been rumors of this for some time.
It seems they were true.
So what you're saying is the my second cousin, Kazuma Kannagi, changed his name to Kazuma Yagami, and That's unbelievable.
I can't believe a member of the Kannagi family, and not just one of the branch families but the head family, would become a wind magic user.
This is most embarrasing.
That poor child.
If only he hadn't been born into the Kannagi family, he wouldn't have anything to be ashamed of.
Still, he lacked the ability to control fire.
The Kannagi family are fire magic users, protected and blessed by the spirits of fire.
There is no place among us for the powerless.
Genma.
Kazuma no longer has any connection to the Kannagi family.
I have but one son, and that is Ren.
Father.
This is for the best, is it not? .
Kazuma has become successful as a wind magic user.
Do you think my brother will come back to our family? What an awful wind Forgive me! Kazuma.
It's you, right, Kazuma? I'm sorry for what I did back then! I feel really bad about it! Forgive me! You're the heir to the head Kannagi family.
How pathetic! We do not need the talentless.
Begone! I thought I'd gotten over that.
How is it, Hyoue? Judging from the cuts that severed the body, it was definitely wind magic.
And one far more powerful than we, the Wind Fang clan, can control.
It seems so.
Shinji Yuuki.
Masato Oogami.
Takeshi Oogami.
Even of they were a branch family, to think they could slaughter a Kannagi so easily How disappointing.
For a member of the Kannagi to be defeated by something as pathetic as wind magic! I've said too much.
Forgive me, Hyoue.
Not at all.
The Wind Fang clan has served the Kannagi for generations.
Attacking the Kannagi It's Kazuma! There's no doubt he's behind this.
Yes.
The perpetrator is a wind mage with a grudge against the Kannagi, which leaves him as the only option.
He wants revenge for being kicked out of the family? But that's not our fault.
Power is everything in the Kannagi family.
It's his fault for being useless.
It doesn't matter! Damn you.
Kazuma.
I'm going to avenge my brother Shinji Everyone is saying that Kazuma did it.
That shince Kazuma now has the power of the wind, he's begun to retaliate against the Kannagi.
It really was Kazuma, we must make him atone with his life.
Will you kill him.
Father? Ayano, why do you always try to resolve things through force? Understand your position, and avoid taking reckless actions or saying rash things.
But if you're going to do it, then you should do it quickly.
There is no need for you to act.
We still don't have any proof.
Remain on standby until you're given other orders.
Understood.
What a selfish girl I'm being tailed huh? This isn't the same one I sensed at the Akegata Hotel.
The size and sharpness of the ki is different.
What was that? You've found Kazuma? Yes.
The Wind Fang are indeed masters of reconnaissance.
I'd like to meet him tonight and talk with him.
That's if he agrees to meet with us.
If he doesn't, I'll just have to use force.
Very well.
I'll let you decide who to send.
In that case.
I choose Shingo Yuuki and Takeya Oogami.
Shingo, Takeya, don't tell my dad, OK? All right? That's a problem.
If the family head finds out, we'll be reprimanded.
Don't worry about a thing! You're both top-class mages among the branch families.
My father trusts you more than he trusts me.
He'll never find out.
Well, this is a valuable chance for us.
We may be able to see you fight, Ayano-sama.
Is that how it is? It is indeed.
Right, Shingo? I'm sorry, but you won't be doing anything tonight, Ayano-sama.
I'm going to kill that bastard Kazuma.
You can't kill him.
At the very least.
He needs to be able to talk.
Then I'll burn off his arms and legs.
It'll be easier to carry him if he's lighter.
I see.
Well, whatever.
Ayano-sama, according to the watchers we have stationed, he's up ahead.
Right.
What is this? Ayano-sama? Where's Ayano-sama? There he is.
Kazuma! You bastard.
How dare you kill my brother Shinji! It's been a while, Kazuma.
Oh, it's the heirs to the branch families.
You know why we're here right? Nope, not a clue.
Three Kannagi mages were killed last night.
And? A wind mage killed them.
Wind? How stupid.
Come forth, Enraiha! It wasn't me.
We're done.
Then why don't you explain that to the family head? I'm no longer a member of the Kannagi family.
If he wants to talk.
He can come here himself.
Tell him that.
So a member of the Wind Fang clan really was following me? This is your last warning.
Come with us peacefully, Kazuma! Not a freaking chance.
Die! What? What happened? Just a little trick.
A Kannagi mage can block the heat from an explosion, but not the force the explosion itself.
Something snuck up on me? On me? Wind? What was that? Spirits of the Wind? What the hell is wrong with you? That's a breach of our contract! What now? Enraiha? Ayano? Is that Ayano? Kazuma.
Kazuma! Wait, this is a misunderstanding! I didn't kill them.
I won't forgive you for this! Listen to me! It's been four years.
You've grown up.
Don't screw with me, failure! Who do you think I am? I know who you are.
The inheritor of the Enraiha, and the next head of the Kannagi family.
It wasn't me, I said.
Do you expect me to believe you in this situation? That's up to you to decide.
Then who did it? A wind mage, but not me.
Find the rest out yourself.
But you know, If that's all the next head's got, then the family's in serious trouble.
Who cares what you think? I don't have to listen to your opinion.
Aren't you embarrassed to be a Kannagi who became a wind mage? Not really.
Sorry to leave when it seems like you're having fun, but I'll have to play with you some other time, Ayano.
Hey, wait! I won't forgive him.
I won't! Kazuma! So it's an all-out war with the Kannagi now, is it? That could be fun.
But I don't like being controlled by someone from the shadows.
Now then What to do? What, what, what, what, what? It's all Kazuma's fault, so why am I the one who's locked up? Genma-ojisama, show your awful son the almighty power of the Kannagi family! No way! He's going this far to get revenge on the Kannagi family? Next time on Kaze no Stigma: Facing the Past.
Don't underestimate the inheritor of the Enraiha!
That is the symbol of one called "Contractor.
