Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e07 Episode Script

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 You're from the head family, yet the fire feels hot to you, Kazuma? How pitiful! You're useless! You're a disgrace to the Kannagi! Should I give him a fresh one? Do it! Do it! Look at him! He's totally scared! Can I really do it? If he gets really serious Will I still be able to stand in front of him? Don't tell me Is she serious? Misao, what are you looking at? The wind No, the flame that's trying to burn the wind Why are you mumbling nonsense when you're about to face your own death? I'm going to die? Well, that's news to me.
Stop playing around! Big sis Ayano How many minutes will I be able to last? Or will I only last seconds? No I just have to do whatever I can do.
Here he comes! Spirits of fire Please! Go! Well, that's pretty good.
Kazuma? That was an impressive attack for you.
But I was serious! Serious? You mean, you were going to kill me? Of course I was! Oh, okay.
Big sis! Jeez, I was supposed to last a little longer than that! So you were trying to buy some time, huh? And, what were you going to do next? Did you actually think I challenged you without even planning what to do next? Sure, because you're a creature that acts by instinct.
Then look at this! Deadly technique! Ren barrier! What do you think? I know you can't attack me now! This is a perfect barrier! Hey, don't you feel ashamed as the next head of the Kannagi? I do feel ashamed, by the way.
I'd do just about whatever it takes for me to win! But you can't win.
- I guess you're right - Jeez Whatever! I need you to stick around until they finish carrying out a punishment on Misao! Isn't that completely the other way around? Other way around? Three Two One What's going on? What is this? This is terrible Misao Come on now.
You got them all? You made quite a mess over here.
Aren't they your family members and relatives, for what it's worth? None of them here are my family.
The ones who're on the ground here are just the people who always flatter their superiors and boss around the ones who are below them.
My only family is Your dead brother, right? Yes.
The one you murdered.
This moment is finally here.
The moment that I take my revenge on you for my brother! I see.
How about this? Th-That's impossible Misao, if that little fire were enough to kill Kazuma, I would've killed him a long time ago! Big sis! You've gotten stronger than before, but you're still not even good enough to take on Ren! Yet you'd try to kill Kazuma with your lukewarm fire? It's not even funny! Don't give me that! My dear angel assured me that right now I'm good enough to defeat Kazuma-sama! "My dear angel"? Who's that pervert anyway?! Pervert? That's insulting.
My dear angel! You're an angel? My dear angel, please guide me! Please show me the way to take my revenge on him! There is no such thing.
What? It is absolutely impossible for you to defeat Kazuma Yagami.
B-But you told me that I've acquired enough power to take my revenge on him! That was a lie.
The ability for you to control power is already determined at birth.
The power that surpasses that can't be controlled no matter how much you collect it.
You must've known that, since you were born into a family of spirit art users.
No way But, my dear angel, you said That's right.
I did say you'd be able to defeat Kazuma.
Humans are funny creatures, you know.
If I tell them whatever they want to believe, they'll believe it so easily, even if it's obviously impossible.
Yeah, for example "This is not a sin.
If the wish is legitimate, the action that comes with it is also legitimate.
" If your wish is legitimate, it's okay for you to do anything to make it come true.
Even if you kill hundreds of people and sucked their energy, or kill your own family and relatives it's still not a sin No No That's not true! That is true.
It was you who did it all.
Misao! Misao-san! What an incredible ghostly aura! That's the life energy Misao has collected.
What? All the out-of-control energy that Misao has collected from hundreds of people is now flowing out of her unconscious body.
And now he's going to absorb those energies as a ghostly aura.
Was that your plan all along? That's right.
In order for me to acquire enough energy to defeat Kazuma Yagami, I needed a special medium, such as a member of the Kannagi.
To defeat me? I guess I still haven't introduced myself.
My name is Michael Harley.
The one to destroy our cursed enemy, Kazuma Yagami, in the name of stars and wisdom.
In the name of stars and wisdom? Right.
If I remember correctly, you've got a connection to my great master.
In the name of stars and wisdom, I shall pursue only the truth! In the name of stars and wisdom, I shall pursue only the truth! Now I get it.
Then I'll send you to hell, where your master is! I told you it was you who'd die, didn't I? What's that? Isn't it magnificent? Look at this dragon Vrtra that I created using Misao as its core.
Now Kazuma Yagami, can you defeat the great dragon Vrtra? Oh, Misao might die if you defeat it, though.
So Misao is somewhere inside that dragon? How are you even supposed to attack it with her in it? A Kannagi's purifying fire should be able to burn only that dragon without harming Misao, right? Sorry to tell you this, but I can't perform finicky tricks like that yet! Huh? The only people who can do high-level stuff like that are my father and Uncle Genma! You're so useless.
Excuse me, then! Kazuma, are you still going to help Misao? Yeah.
Because I want her to stay alive no matter what.
Kazuma I understand that, but we can't just ignore this! Big sis! Why? Why is he so hung up on Misao? Is it because he likes Misao? Why? Oh no! Wake up already, you silly girl.
K-Kazuma? Did he save me? I won't let you! Thank you, Ren.
Why did you save me? Misao's the one you want, so leave me alone! Even if I saved Misao, it would be pointless if you ended up dead.
Wh-What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to play both sides? Hell, I don't care! I'd even play three sides.
Because I have the power to protect them all! Protect them all? I didn't acquire this power so that I'd have to choose.
I have no intention of abandoning anything! I'll save Misao! And I won't let you or Ren die, either! But I'll frickin' kill that cocky little bastard! And that'll give me a total victory! Got a problem with that? N-No, I don't.
Kazuma? What's the matter, Kazuma? That's You took that wound protecting me just now I'm okay.
No, you're not okay! Anyway, stop the bleeding! And try to recover physically if you can! Until then, Ren and I will manage something! I can't let you two handle that.
You idiot! You're going to save Misao, aren't you? You're going to protect Ren and me, aren't you? You talked a big game about protecting everyone, so you'd better live up to it! So you stay out of the way until you're able to move around! Kazuma? You know, you might become a pretty good woman in the future.
Wh-What do you mean I "might"? I know for fact that I'll be a good woman! We'll see about that.
Five minutes.
What? Hang on for five minutes.
Okay.
You've been putting up a surprisingly good fight, haven't you? Big sis! Is that big brother's blood? He said to hang on for five minutes.
Have faith in him! Your brother is a strong person.
Yes! Big sis, it looks like you're back to normal! I'm sorry that I made you worried.
Now let's go! Yes! In the name of the contract, entrust me with all the winds! Jeez, I wish I could set the entire body on fire! But that'd kill Misao-san! That was fast.
Yeah, I know.
Now, let's burn that sucker down and save Misao! But I already told you that's impossible, didn't I? Let me take care of that.
Blue flame? That flame It's just like Father's.
Big brother, big sis, good luck! Is this the Godsfire by any chance? Well, you're creating it pretty much entirely on my power, though.
You'd better not tell me you can't do it.
Fine.
Leave it up to me.
In a single sweep! Impossible! After I've acquired the energy from close to one thousand humans? Why? Why do you two possess such power? You're mere humans! No way.
You can't be the Contractor?! Kazuma Yagami, are you the one who made the contract with the Spirit King of the Wind? Y-You bastard!! Wake up, Misao.
Kazuma-sama We're going home.
Please, just let me die.
Why? I have committed an unforgivable sin.
I can only atone for my crime by ending my life.
Don't give me that crap! How many hundreds of people did you kill anyway? Do you think giving up your life is good enough to atone for all of them? You're only trying to look away from the weight of guilt and find escape in death! Then what am I supposed to do? Is there even a way to atone for a sin that's as serious as this? I don't know.
First of all, you're putting things in the wrong order, don't you think? The one you've caused the biggest trouble for is me.
So before you even talk about life and death, you need to repay me! And to be more specific, you need to repay me with your body! Huh? So, I must stay alive to atone for what I've done.
And to start, Kazuma-sama, you're the first one That's right.
Understood.
All right, then why don't we You son of bitch! Big sis, you're going too far! I'm going to evaporate the entire mass of this son of a bitch right here, right now! B-Big sis! Kazuma-sama Hey.
Hello.
We're here! So you'd just go to a nunnery without even asking me about it, huh? This is what Soshu-sama decided for me.
Damn, that geezer Just praying won't erase my sin, but I'm willing to spend my entire life trying to figure out what I can do.
I see.
Um, Kazuma-sama Why did you save me? Killing me would've been a much easier thing to do.
So why? A long time ago There was a kid in the Kannagi family who wasn't able to control the power of fire.
You're from the head family, yet the fire feels hot to you, Kazuma? How pitiful! You're useless! You're a disgrace to the Kannagi! Should I give him a fresh one? Please stop! Even if he can't control fire, he's still a member of our family! That was you?! You did it all just because of that? Yup, just because of that.
Wh-What? I'll come visit again.
Since you haven't repaid me yet, and all.
Yes.
I will someday.
Kazuma, are you still talking about stuff like that? Hey, wait up, Kazuma! Kazuma! Are you listening to me? 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 First Seiryo Academy Ghost Busters Tour"? W-Wait, Father! Kazuma is my bodyguard? No way! Hey, how come Yukari and Nanase are here? Unnatural phenomena are happening all over the place! You've got to be kidding! Someone who can get past your searching abilities, Kazuma? Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "Ayano-chan's Disaster!" Kazuma, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?
