Kuromukuro (2016) s01e08 Episode Script
Memories of Regret
1 There's no way to repair this thing.
We know it's a nanomachine collective, but not much more.
Piloting system's the same.
Can't access it at all.
But take a look over here.
This is what happened when someone left a toolbox by it overnight.
It melted? Apparently not.
The artifact's consuming it.
We now know why our samurai boy's supposedly broken sword is mysteriously back in one piece.
You mean it's consuming nearby matter to heal itself? By the way, did you hear about the message? I sure did! They've gotta be kidding.
Who in their right mind would return such an interesting toy? In the end, we never came to a definitive conclusion.
Not surprising.
But since these "Efidolg" aliens sent us a message stating their demands, the doves who believe we should return the artifact and avoid conflict now hold the upper hand.
That's nonsense.
I doubt they'll just quietly back off if we return the artifact.
And why is that? Efidolg already came to Earth once, 450 years ago.
And now they've returned.
They must have some sort of central objective.
Until we learn what that is, we shouldn't hand over our ace in the hole.
Thank you for saying that.
I'm of the same opinion.
Your orders? Maintain the status quo.
Focus on defending the research facility for now.
You're also free to use the artifact as you see fit.
Understood.
Goodbye, then.
Sheesh.
Hello? Director, your daughter Koharu is on the phone.
She says it's urgent.
Koharu? Put her through.
Mom! Koharu? Big trouble! Yuki's gone! I'm hungry! Immorality creaks in the dark Blurring the advantages of evolution Sorrow remains silent Simply praying for the safety of the soul I'm always just barely behind the times Surrounded by thick gray clouds Acid rain pours down on me Melting away my morals tonight Everyone's assigned an alphabet Everyone's called by their code Acting with no sense of reason For whom are these battles fought The scar that remains in the corner of my memories sheds light to the end A voice in the distance whispered gently A new age is coming Love transcends time Dreams go the distance Voices will reach to the ends of the earth No matter how weak the light I have the ultimate strength to believe This is the strength of our bond Love will transcend time Yeah, Kennosuke's looking for her.
Looks like she's not in the temple.
Huh? Her phone's still in her room? She left it here? Yukina's Mom Hello? Mika! Is Yukina there?! Huh? Uh Nope.
I see! Thanks! I can't tell if you're actually trying to run away or not.
It's not like I ran away from home or anything.
Are you that against riding it? I really don't wanna.
This is your big chance, girl.
You could be the heroine who saves the world.
A lot of people would kill to be in your position.
Well, I wouldn't! It even comes with a samurai who protects you.
I have no idea what you don't like about this.
It's not like he's even protecting me Not that it matters to me.
I wasn't the lucky one.
How can you be so aloof? Well, what do you expect? Anyway, you can't throw a tantrum forever.
I'm going to school.
So get out.
Skip school today if you want, but head home, okay? 'Kay What a big horse.
Of course she wouldn't be here.
I know nothing, huh I lost my smartphone somewhere, and my bike's kaput I'm never doing that again.
I got some awesome footage.
Let's do it again sometime.
I just said never again! Why school? Let's just go home and sleep.
We were missing for an entire day.
I figured we should ask Carlos what's been up first.
Akagi and Kaya? You guys were alive? Staff Room - Calling Hello, this is Takekuma.
Big trouble! Yukina's missing! Pardon me for asking, but is this Shirahane's mother? Yes! Anyway, is Yukina at school? She's been gone all morning! Classes haven't even begun yet, so I think it's too soon to make a big deal of this.
I'll let you know if she doesn't show.
Aren't you worried about her? I am, but there's only so much a teacher can really do.
But I'll help in any way I can.
Please.
Why is my class full of problem children? You two know why I called you here, I hope? I checked everywhere she was likely to be, but no luck.
Oh What if we never find her? Wouldn't it be a big problem for you? She'll come back when she gets hungry.
No need to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Come on, you two.
Eat your breakfast and go to school.
Okay Oh, Kennosuke, you got replies.
Teach Me How to Make a Lass Acquiesce and Nod Her Head - OumaKe Teach me how to make a lass acquiesce and nod her head.
Sanpei: Learn how to speak normal Japanese first.
Sanpei: Learn how to speak normal Japanese first.
Setter: Push her head down.
^^ Rose: That's how you ask for advice, asshole? Lurk more.
Milk: What a sexist pig.
Regardless of how you feel, I bet she hates you.
Tomiko: Y'know, you're worse than a maggot.
People who're too scared of getting hurt to bow down and ask for a favor should take their lofty heads and flush it down the toilet.
Sardinehead: Muster up the courage to talk to her first.
Pushing your demands onto someone will only cause them pain.
If both parties understand what each other wants, it'll be easier to find a middle ground.
Compromising is important.
"Kill yourself, Tomiko.
" "Your words were a big help, Lord Sardine.
" "You have my sincerest gratitude.
" Sardinehead - Best Answer Gyoza again? What choice do we have? There's a ton of it still left.
But I want sushi Well, you're not getting any for breakfast.
Let's eat! So this is called gyoza? It's pretty tasty.
Right? Yuki's gyoza is the best! Will you go to school? Yeah.
I have a perfect attendance record.
How about you? Are you gonna go? I I suppose I will.
Someone might know where Yukina is.
Kurowashi Castle I'm home They went to school, huh? Maybe I should go too.
That guy The demons will return Why did I have to say something like that? Why did you go there? Why, you ask You went there without a reason? I wanted to see it in person! It was an actual battle, you know? I even caught an alien on camera! I totally hit the jackpot! That's what you wanted to do.
And I wasn't asking you anyway.
Kayahara Stop streaming this.
Tch.
But it was amazing.
The noise and shockwaves don't come across on film.
What about you? I didn't really How much trouble do you think you've caused people?! This is why you've always been a good-for-nothing! Try doing something productive for once! If you keep living for others' approval, you'll never become a decent human being! Please calm down, Mr.
Akagi.
We're at school.
That totally surprised me.
Your dad's sure got a way with words.
I really should've streamed that.
Wait, are we famous now? Yo.
Kaya? You guys are alive?! Ryoto! Kaya! I'm so glad yer okay! Sorry.
Shirahane must've pulled some strings.
Thank goodness.
Uh, no.
We just got lucky and survived.
What were ya doin' all this time, then? My bike fell over and ran out of gas.
It took this long to push it here.
Where's Shirahane? Rumor says she ran away from home.
'Scuse me.
Hey, Ogino! Is it true YuâShirahane ran away from home? Ran away? Leave her be.
She's probably just sulking.
Dammit! All because I had to go and do something stupid! Dude, were you even listening to me? Mika, did Yukina not come to see you? Did you have a fight or something? Not really Is it true Yukina ran away from home? None of your business.
But it's also my fault! What?! What did you do to Yukina?! Nothing.
Then why did you say it was your fault? Because I got caught up in the battle You think too highly of yourself.
Yukina's disappearance has nothing to do with you.
Aren't you worried about her?! Not in the least! You have zero tact.
I bet you said something mean to her! Do we even need Yukina? What are you saying? Sure, she's a key to operating the artifact, but is her will particularly important? Her will? All that matters is she gets in the artifact.
Are you saying you'll disregard her wishes?! It's an idea that even I could think of, so I'm sure the grown-ups are already considering it.
Use her as a puppet? That would make her nothing but a tool! Move! What is the matter? Oh, Ken.
Get a load of this.
A demon showed up.
A demon?! Yeah.
My husband says he saw one.
It was probably just a bear or a monkey.
I said the same thing, but he was like, "Bears don't have such pointy heads!" I wonder what he saw.
A demon? It might be an Efidolg Cactus.
Right.
Looks like there are units hiding in sleep mode.
We've already received more than ten reports of sightings.
The SDF also requested we search the area around this facility.
Let's send out two search squads.
Major, the large geoframe that landed in North America North America? Its codename was Longarm, was it? Yes.
Looks like it has returned to the mothership.
It seems to have retrieved something, but we don't have any details.
Major! Call the prefectural police and have them send us surveillance camera footage.
Why? Because the Earth could be in danger with Yukina gone, that's why! But didn't you say we wouldn't force her? Well I'll think about that after we get her back! Understood.
Let's have our men participate in the search, too.
The room has been cleaned? It's gone! It's gone! The journal's gone! Coming, coming.
Hello, this is Seioinmanriki-Honganji Temple.
Is Yukina home? Oh, are you a friend from school? That's right.
She went out.
Where'd she go? Said she was going to Kurowashi Valley with Kennosuke.
What did you just say? Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Huh? Did you just say Kurowashi Valley? Yeah.
Didn't you go with her? Why didn't you stop her? She said you were going together.
Guess I've been had.
Hey, you! I'm borrowing this one.
H-Hey! Wait! Okay.
Carlos, take that back to the janitor's room for me.
I don't mind But this is a really bad idea.
It's only been two days.
Yer bein' way too stupid.
I can't just sit here by myself.
What's the big deal? There's no danger involved.
Hey.
"The princess's mysterious disappearance.
Is it kidnapping? Or did she run away from home?" You're not coming with me! Oh, but I am.
Nothing good happens when you're around! I can get more interesting footage.
Besides, I'm the one who called and asked where she went.
Dammit.
You'd better pay for gas and repairs.
We have a deal.
Okay, it works.
Stop by my place on the way.
You're such a pain in the ass.
Please come back this time.
Wow, there's a mismatch in degenerated conglomerate here.
Is this where Kennosuke's castle used to be? This is where things get messy How are the Washiba Clan and the demons related? Investigating various legends of the demons has highlighted a common thread linking their origins.
Kurowashi Valley.
Halfway up the mountain the Washiba Clan's castle stood on? "Halfway up the mountain the Washiba Clan's castle stood on" What's that? I must be close.
It's become an animal trail now.
This is all that remains of the Washiba Clan's castle? So it's finally time for the princess to get married.
Please forgive me! I-I shamelessly survived all by myself! What? Oh, come on.
Why did it try to go under it? I'm glad it's dumb in the head.
Dad? Our message has reached them, yes? But they haven't responded as of yet.
So they're not giving us a yay or a nay.
It seems that land is not united.
In which case, there is only one option left to us.
Fusnarnie.
You can count on me.
Urgent message from NORAD! Efidolg's mothership has released something resembling an atmospheric-entry capsule! Its estimated trajectory leads to Japan! Shit! They're coming now? Major! Director.
Efidolg's mothership has released an unidentifiedâ Yukina Yukina hasn't been found yet! Order all the squads looking for Cactii to look for Yukina Shirahane! Everyone's lonely and a stranger to others The names we are given Can be easily taken away The mirror shows our weaknesses We can't look away from it It is our feelings that make our hearts scream out in pain Don't stop Even if I have to take on the pain of others I will change the world one step at a time Acting on emotions won't help us understand each other But I won't stop believing in my reality I want to keep on living Because ever since I met you Something's taken root deep within my heart And it is starting to bloom This cube acts as the Black Relic's cockpit.
Kennosuke calls the transformed version a steed, Cube: One of the artifacts.
Scientists have been trying to analyze it for the past 60 years, but it remains an even bigger mystery than the giant.
It's actually the cockpit for the Black Relic and a vehicle.
It uses a unique identification system and doesn't function without the presence of both Kennosuke and Yukina.
but this isn't a horse, is it? The Demon Laughs in the Cavern
