Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e02 Episode Script
Confrontation with the Past
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 Tatta hitotsu no itami ga omokute Hashiri dasu kanjo kurayami wo kakeru Kioku ga kagi wo hazushita Blast of wind Kono mama unmei wa mizu no you ni hitori deni ugoki hajimeru Nikushimi ni dakare hontou no kagayaki shirazuni kono te wa yogosare tsuzukete yuku no ka Mata yume mireru ka kikasete A blast of wind in my heart softly blowing through my heart Who do you think I am? I know who you are.
You're the inheritor of the Enraiha, and the next head of the Kannagi family.
I won't forgive him I won't! Kazuma! "Cake Buffet" "45-Minutes All-You-Can-Eat!!" "5 New Limited-Time-Only Seasonal Cakes" "Cake Buffet" "45-Minutes All-You-Can-Eat!!" "5 New Limited-Time-Only Seasonal Cakes" Jeez! Jeez! I'm pissed off! First of all, why did my father yell at me? It's true that I fought the guy without telling my father.
But still, he didn't have to ground me! He really didn't! I don't really understand what she's talking about, but - What is it? What's really going on? - He's the bad guy in this! She did make it very clear that she got in big trouble with her father though - I swear I'm going to make him pay for it! Damn it, I'm pissed! - Ayano-chan's family is very strict.
- Damn it, I'm pissed! - Ayano-chan's family is very strict.
- I'll go get another slice! - Hey, who do you think the guy she's talking about is? "The guy" Don't tell me Ayano has a boyfriend! What? That's impossible.
It's possible! I still have five minutes left! I'm going to get some more cakes! You guys should hurry, too! She doesn't have a boyfriend.
Nope.
No way.
Yuuki Shingo and Takeya Ogami, too? To think even those two were defeated Could this be Kazuma's doing too? Who else could it be? A wind magic user who has a grudge against the Kannagi Is he thinking about starting a war against the family or something? So you agree, then? Stopping Ayano with a barrier while he defeats Shingo and Takeya, then making sure Ayano sees his face? That's like naming himself as the perpetrator.
He's not that stupid.
I do understand how everyone feels, though.
It must be easier for them to believe this is Kazuma's revenge than that it's the work of some unknown enemy.
However, it is also true that his actions are suspicious.
Genma, why did you send Kazuma away to begin with? I'm a member of the Kannagi family.
I only stuck to our principles to the way of life as a member of the Kannagi.
Is that why you pushed your son away from you? In order for him to find his own way of life, not the Kannagi way? I will bring Kazuma here.
Can you do that? If he resists I'll have to Understood.
I'll let you handle that.
Hello? Put him through.
Kazuma-kun? It's me.
It's been a while.
Would it be acceptable to still call you "Father"? Call me whatever you like.
It doesn't sound like you called me because you wanted to hear your son's voice for the first time in four years.
I suppose I don't have to tell you why I'm calling.
I'm coming over now.
Understood? I didn't think the Kannagi would be quiet about it, but I never thought Dad I'm sorry, Father! To think you lost to a girl who's only twelve! What a pathetic failure for an heir to the Kannagi head household! That's enough.
I was wrong for trying to make you a fire magic user in the first place.
You no longer need to practice fire magic.
And there's no need for someone who's not a fire magic user to be in the Kannagi family, either.
Just get out of my sight.
N-No! Father! I'm not your father anymore.
Ren is my only son.
F-Father! Please wait, Father! Forgive me! Please forgive me! We don't need the talentless.
Begone! My old man controlled every aspect of my life with his absolute power.
But I'm not who I was back then anymore.
I'll find out whether I've surpassed him or not.
The identity of the wind magic user who killed Shingo Yuuki and Takeya Ogami is still unknown.
We're currently mobilizing the entire Fuga clan to investigate it.
Please give us a little more time.
All right.
Understood.
Hyoue? Yes, sir.
How is your son doing? His name is Ryuya, I believe? Yes.
It's not life threatening as long as he takes it easy, however he'll never recover to the point where he can assist the Kannagi It can't be helped if he's sick.
Don't blame Ryuya.
Let him rest.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Jeez! Just thinking about it pisses me off! My family is in crisis, but I can't do anything about it! I'm the next head of the family for goodness sake! But all I can do is just sit here and see what happens? I can't believe this! This is all Kazuma's fault! Here you are, huh? Turn yourself in, Kazuma.
It's still not too late.
Is that the first thing you want to say to your son that you haven't seen for four years? Are you going to take me in by force if I don't turn myself in? That's fine.
I'll fight you.
Don't bluff.
Do you really think you can beat me? I'm not the same person you once knew! Don't act so tough just because you studied wind magic for a measly four years! You good-for-nothing! What the hell do you know about me? I will not run from you or the Kannagi family anymore! Never! If talking to you doesn't work, I guess I have no choice Here I come, Genma Kannagi! Did you just do something? I'm just getting started! It doesn't work, huh? I don't care what you think of the Kannagi or me.
But I don't have time to be playing around with you! Oh? So you used a wind barrier to dodge it? You burn only your target, nothing else, huh? That's the strongest fire magic user in the Kannagi family for you.
Pretty impressive.
I guess I held back too much.
But that's not going to happen next time.
Now you're serious, huh? Don't die on me, Kazuma! There are still some things that I want to ask you! Now! How do you like that? What a stupid trick.
You controlled the oxygen with the wind to cause excessive combustion.
That's the trick you used on Shingo and Takeya, correct? You figured it out, huh? Did you think that the same trick would work on me? Is this you that I supposedly don't know? Is this what you've accomplished in the past four years? You sure disappoint me.
I disappoint you? Don't give me that! What the hell did you ever expect from me anyway? You abandoned me! I'll say this one more time.
Turn yourself in.
I'll never let you beat me, even if I die! I'll surpass you! I see.
Then I'll show you what overwhelmingly irresistible power is.
What? That's the Azure Fire The Godsfire-the absolute power that only the chosen few can use.
In all the Kannagi family's thousand-year history, only eleven people have been able to use the Azure Fire.
So that's your blue Godsfire, the Azure Fire, huh? I've known you for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen it.
I'll show you what true power is.
True power that your little tricks can't do anything about! You're right about that.
I guess my little tricks aren't going to work against the Azure Fire.
If that's the case, I'll show you how I get serious! That's The Spirits of Wind! And there are so many of them! No It's impossible This power is It's no use! Wind magic can summon the spirits faster! I see.
So you've found your own I won! I won! How do you like that, you sorry-ass old man?! What should I do, Tsui-Ling? What am I supposed to do now? I sense a fire magic user.
Is it a member of the Kannagi? Come out.
Honestly, I can't believe it.
But you're here, so that means you defeated Father.
What? "Father?" Who the hell are you? That's awful! Have you forgotten your brother's face? "Brother"? So that means you're Ren? Yes! Boy, you sure have gotten big.
It's been, what, like ten years? You know it hasn't been that long! But it can't be four years, right? I don't remember you being there when I left home.
Right.
You just left without saying anything to me! Sorry about that.
Anyway, how did you find me? Hyoue Kazamaki told me about it.
"Kazamaki"? The Fuga clan, huh? So, what brought you here? I came here to convince you, big brother.
Big brother? Let's at least go inside.
It's been one crazy day for me.
I'm really tired.
O-Okay! Oh, and you don't have to worry about the old man.
I made sure he got to the hospital.
So you took him there, great! Well, I thought about doing that, but it was a pain in the ass, so I let the ambulance take him.
What?! B-Big brother! Huh? Someone sent me a text.
From Ren? "I'm on my way to the Royal Bay Hotel to see Kazuma"? I found you, Kazuma! "I'm on my way to the Royal Bay Hotel to see Kazuma.
I'm just going to talk to him for a few minutes, so please don't worry about me.
- Ren" I found you, Kazuma! Um, is it possible that Hmm? You're a Contractor, big brother? Contractor? Where did that come from all of a sudden? Someone who enters into a direct contract with the Spirit King and receives the blessing from all the spirits that belong to the Spirit King.
Someone who stands above all magic users.
You do know about it, right? Of course I do.
The reason why the Kannagi family is able to use fire magic is because the first Soshu of the family entered an agreement with then Spirit King of Fire and became a Contractor, right? There has been a rumor on some occult web sites in Europe lately.
That a legendary Contractor actually still exists today And the person happens to be Japanese Do you actually believe a rumor like that? Because there's no way you could defeat Father! It's just impossible unless you've become a Contractor, big brother! Hey now Did you come here to make fun of me? I'm sorry.
That was a joke.
I know you didn't come here to talk about that stupid rumor, right? Let's get to the subject already.
Well then, I'd like to ask you this.
Are you the wind magic user who's been going around killing Kannagi magic users? No, I'm not.
I've told that to everyone I've met so far, but no one seems to believe me.
I wonder why? Then why don't you come and clear your name? At this rate, you'll end up turning the entire Kannagi family against you! True, most likely the Soshu Jugo Kannagi would understand my situation if I visited him.
Then why don't you? I will never yield to the Kannagi again Not one bit! Big brother It's not like I still hate the Kannagi family, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten what they've done to me.
And in order to overcome that, I've abandoned the Kannagi name.
That's why I'll never yield to the Kannagi! I can't yield to them in the name of Kazuma Yagami! I know that's my stupid pride, but I won't be able to say stuff like this for long anyway.
Huh? The Kannagi family will be ruined soon.
What? That thing's not something Ayano can handle.
And the old man ain't exactly in fighting shape now.
How could you talk so coldly? You're a part of the Kannagi family, too, big brother! What's wrong with helping us I'm not a Kannagi anymore.
But still! Don't get it backwards, Ren.
I didn't abandon the Kannagi.
The Kannagi abandoned me! But After all that, you still insist that I'm obligated to work for the Kannagi? H-Hey, why are you crying now? B-Because after all I-I couldn't do anything even though I came here to convince you Now I look like a bad guy here Wipe your face.
You can spend the night here.
I'll take you home tomorrow.
Big brother! Whenever he's cried, I've lost every single time Big brother! Go to sleep.
What? But Is there a problem? I want to talk to you some more! Because it's been so long since we saw each other! Jeez Only for a while, okay? I see it! You just wait, Kazuma Yagami! What the Ren! I'm up.
What was that, big brother? Some idiot just sliced this hotel in half! Crap Let's get out of here! B-But that's not the exit! I found you, Kazuma! I won't let you get away this time! Huh? Huh?! Ayano? K-Kazuma? Huh? W-W-Wait.
What's happening? What does he think he's doing? Even for a sneak attack, this is going too far! Kazuma, you coward! Don't you underestimate the inheritor of the Enraiha! Is this a work of the enemy wind magic user? That seems to be the reasonable answer, doesn't it? You're a wind magic user, too.
Couldn't you have done something about it? Oh, that's impossible.
Because I can't interfere with his wind.
What?! But that attack helped me get a good grasp of his trick.
It's coming! Stay back, Ren! O-Okay! Yo.
Thanks for the other day.
I guess this is my first time meeting the main body, huh? I don't care what you do to the Kannagi family, and I have no intention of butting in, but I won't let anyone get away with mixing Ren up in this shit! Big brother! Ren! There was another one? Because of the crazy wind, I couldn't sense it You are Damn, they got me good.
I guess Ayano is safe, as I'd expect from the next head of the Kannagi family.
Hang in there, Ren! I promise I'll come rescue you! I thought I was going to die! Where's Kazuma? This is awful He's willing to go this far to get his revenge on the Kannagi family? I won't forgive him! I will never forgive him! Sabishige na hitomi Ano sora ni nani wo sagashiteiru no Kimi wa kaze no yaiba de dare mo yosetsukenai Shizukani chi wo nagashite naiteru sakenderu hitori Inishie kara no chikara yo mezamete Zutto matteta kono deai wo lenai kizu kakushiteru kimi wo Dakishime sasete itsuka Revenge against the Kannagi family after 300 years? Give me a break! Ren wasn't born into this world to become some sacrifice! Jeez! I can't stand the idea of teaming up with Kazuma! Hey, are you trying to get paid when your little brother's life is on the line?! Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "The Head Kannagi Family.
" I've never seen this look on Kazuma's face before
That is how you tell a "Contractor.
