Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e17 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 "Do you want power?" "Do you" "want power?" "Do you want power?" Yes! That's a new record! You're fantastic, Kudo-senpai! Senpai, please use this! Thanks.
Hey, that's not fair! Hey, you back off! Nanase is so popular as always, huh? The cutest part of all is that they're all girls, you know? I wish I could keep on watching this, but I have to go to work.
Bummer Come on! I know you're happy.
Going to work means having a date with Kazuma-san, right? Wh-What makes you think I'm happy? I'm so sick of him! Yeah, yeah.
Go on, you'll be late for your date if you don't hurry up and go.
Like I said, it's not a date! It's art! It's art! Art, baby! He's here again! That's Kosuke Utsumi from Class B, right? Our freshman members are creeped out by him, too.
Don't you think we should do something about him? Do what? And what if he tries to retaliate What's the matter? Come on, guys! Give me some more! Let me see more of it! M-My camera! Wh-What are you doing? K-Kudo-san? Don't think you can get away with these degrading perverted acts forever! W-Wait a minute! You've got it all wrong! I-I was just taking some pictures for the yearbook as a member of the photography club! Don't you give me your obvious lie! What? Who would use those pictures that you were shooting from such a low angle for the yearbook? All you ever shoot is girls anyway! Everyone knows that you've been going around taking lewd pictures as a hobby! What is this? Th-This is No way! I found it! I found it! I knew it! This is a hidden camera! Another one has been set up here, too! Hey, there's another one over there! This is unforgivable! P-Please don't get violent! L-Let's talk about it! Don't give me that, you peeping Tom! N-No, that was supposed to be art and Like hell it's art! That's called a criminal act! You're the enemy of maidens! Prepare yourself! Thank you, Nanase-san.
No problem.
We track club members have been having a problem with Utsumi, too.
Maybe we should've done this to him much earlier.
An idiot like him doesn't learn his lesson 'til he gets hurt.
You're right.
I think that's enough, don't you? What? Kudo-san, you forgive him now? I'm sure he's learned a lesson.
Kudo-san! I knew you would understand it! That's right! My pictures are art! And these people just don't get it.
I see That's why you were mad, weren't you? Because I was taking pictures of people like these instead of looking at you! You don't have to worry.
To me, the most important model is you.
So from now on, I promise I will take pictures of you and only you! Utsumi What is it, Kudo-san? You're a hopeless idiot.
What? It looks like he hasn't learned anything at all! I agree.
So that means we need to make sure he learns a nice, thorough lesson with his body! Punishment from heaven! Hold it right there, you two! Oh, my! Is this what they call "pumped up"? Well, I didn't know that human muscle fibers could expand that much.
So are you surprised or what? Both of you are dead! No one ever survived after seeing this body! Yeah, the girl you had your eye on happened to be with a dude, and so what? Why can't you just let her be on her way? I know! I can't stand a jerk who doesn't know when to pull back! Obviously you have no clue how to choose your target, either.
I mean, there's no way a girl like her would fall for you just because you hit on her.
What's that supposed to mean? I meant that you're a well-behaved, responsible young lady.
I want you to look me in the eye and say that again! Oh, sorry.
I can't.
Kazuma! You two! Stop ignoring me! Shall we go now? Yeah.
That didn't do crap.
Human attacks won't do crap to me right now! Hold this.
O-Okay.
I'll frickin' kill you! Here you go.
Good job.
Here I just got off work, and he made me waste energy on something stupid Give me my canned coffee.
I drank it.
What? You're the one with money here, so how could you do such a mean thing to me? Give my canned coffee back! What a disgraceful thing to say! You have money, too! Shut up! I can't stand it when people take my stuff! By the way, what was the deal with this guy anyway? Who knows? I guess I should call Kirika.
He could be involved with that incident she was telling me about.
What do you mean by that? Why would you mention Detective Tachibana now? Whoa, there, do you have a sense of rivalry with Kirika or something? It's-It's not like that at all! Don't worry.
She's a skilled yin-yang diviner, but you're a better magic user than she is.
And there's no doubt that she can beat you in several different fields, but you'd be the stronger one in a fistfight, hands-down.
You're not making me feel any better, you jerk! Die already! Jeez, he ticks me off! "That incident she was telling me about"? He made it sound like it's a secret only those two know of! This is so irritating! If I remember correctly, he's the one from Nanase's class I'll show them Those bitches I see.
I didn't know stuff like that happened yesterday.
No wonder he was wandering on the street, looking all beat up Well, I guess he got what he deserved.
Imagine if you were involved in it, Ayano-chan! The damage would be so severe that he wouldn't even be able to wander around the street! Why would you mention me there? So, Yukari, have they decided how to handle Utsumi? Yeah, he was suspended at home for three days.
So short! That's all? That's all.
They said that was his first offense, and they didn't want to upset the victims by making a big deal out of it.
Boy, things would've been so peaceful around here if they'd gone ahead and kicked him out of school! I bet he'll come back to school in three days, looking like nothing ever happened.
I guess you're right.
Looks like it's going to rain.
Oh, yeah! They said that Sugino-san from the tennis club, who was the leader of the punishment by blows yesterday, has been in a coma with a high fever of unknown cause since last night! What? Are you serious? Why would I give you false information? Yeah, you're right Maybe Utsumi-kun has put a curse on her! Yukari, that's not funny.
Was that inappropriate? I'm sorry.
"Do you" "want power?" "Do you want power?" P-Please Stop it I'll do whatever you say Please forgive me, Utsumi-kun! What? Are you serious? Yeah, they said that Utsumi has been putting a curse on them as payback for beating him up.
True, all the girls from the tennis club have gotten it, haven't they? Kudo I guess she's all right.
It was her who triggered the beating, right? I would think she'd be the first one to be cursed.
Maybe he's saving the main dish for the last? Man, that sucks for her.
I'd say this is not a good situation for Nanase-chan.
So everyone believes that this is a curse.
Illness, car accidents and insanity it's been only three days, but every girl involved in the punishment has been hit.
Today is the last day of the suspension, huh? It's okay.
I think it will be all right.
I'm sure Nanase will manage to get by it somehow.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah! "Do you" "want power?" U-Utsumi Move! Nanase.
Hey, Nanase! Utsumi, stop it! Shut up! Don't you touch me so casually, you scum! I am different from you all! I'm the noble chosen one, who's been given the power! I need to talk to you.
Come with me.
Do what I say, Nanase! Put a "-san" after my name, you scumbag! Y-You do know why you're here, right? Nope.
Don't you play dumb! Do you realize that your life is in my hands? Take a look at this! A-ki-ha-ba-ra!! [Akihabara is a section of Tokyo, known as Otaku's Haven these days.
.]
Oh ho.
D-Did you see that? But that's not all! My real power is "killing by curse!" I can cause an unfortunate phenomenon in your life and murder you without even touching you or leaving any kind of evidence! So what happened to those girls from the tennis club is That's right! I did it! You must kneel down before me! You must realize your worthlessness and beg for my forgiveness miserably! I already know the answer, but for form's sake I'll still ask you this! Be my slave, Nanase! No way.
What? Wh-Why? Don't get carried away just because you've got some cheesy power! With or without power, a scumbag is still a scumbag! You're still a scumbag like you always have been! Th-That's not true! That's not true! This power is the proof that I'm the chosen one! This is your last chance! Obey me, Nanase! Otherwise You scumbag! I'll kill you! - A-ki-ha-ba - You're too slow! - A-ki-ha-ba Wh-What the It's a tazer! It's supposedly a disposable stun gun that lets me attack remotely.
Good job, Nanase! It worked out just like we planned! See? You can easily defeat a new magic user as long as you can catch him off guard! Thanks, Ayano, Yukari.
Here, let me give this back to you.
I'm not going to ask you how you got it, because I'm scared to know.
I don't want to tell you that, either, because it's scary.
Well, I guess all's well that ends well, huh? We'll hand Utsumi over to the police once we make him confess the crime and confirm his power.
Okay.
Detective Tachibana.
Let us handle the rest.
They said the police would handle the girls who've been cursed, too.
That was pretty cool, Kudo-san.
Actually I was really nervous, though.
You're the type who's popular with people your own gender, aren't you? Am I right? Please take care of the rest.
Thank you, Shinomiya-san.
Great investigation and report! I wish you were working for my department.
Thank you.
Yukari, just who are you? I'm just an ordinary high school girl.
Something wrong? Looks like this is a typical case.
Typical? It's not just this guy named Utsumi.
It's been reported that there has been a sudden outbreak of people with special abilities in Tokyo lately, particularly teenagers.
Sudden outbreak? I know you've already run into one yourself, Ayano-chan.
What? So that's the deal.
So what type and level of power are we talking about? Many different kinds.
Fire, wind, electric shock Physical intensification by magic.
Some have used the evil eye, too.
Well, as far as the levels of their abilities go, they're nothing we can't handle, but They've also blackmailed and assaulted others.
To make it worse, there have been street fights among those who possess the special abilities.
They have been doing whatever they please! Hey, I've heard about that before! What's with you all of a sudden, Yukari? I saw stuff like that on the internet message boards! Supposedly this psychic battle thing has been kicking up a storm in Tokyo lately.
Will you give me more details? The thing is, that they all sound like they're talking about some video game.
They talk about special techniques or invincible combos or defeating x number of people to level up What's with that? Maybe they were just talking about some video game.
That's what I thought.
That's why I stopped reading them, but Shinomiya-san, will you give me the web address later? Okay, sure! A sudden, massive outbreak of magic users There's no way such a thing happens naturally.
There must be someone or something pulling the strings behind the scenes Most of those who have developed the power are in junior high or high school.
We can't cover all the incidents that occur in their fields.
I want to ask you a favor.
Will you two help us with the investigation? Sure, but "you two"? Of course! If it's okay with you, I'd love to help you! Yukari! Don't be so quick to make a promise! Please, Ayano-chan.
Okay, I'm counting on you! Whatever happens, I won't be responsible for it! All right! Kazuma has been helping us, too, so feel free to contact him if necessary.
What? Kazuma's involved, too? Yeah.
I hooked him up with a rookie from our department with high potential.
I know it's going to burden Kazuma, but I figured it'd help the rookie gain experience.
So is that rookie pretty? It's a man.
Don't worry.
Jeez, you can be so jealous, Ayano-chan! Detective Tachibana, do you really think that Kazuma will take care of a burdensome man? What? I wonder if this rookie guy can even last long enough to make it to the big time.
You're about to be sent to hell by the great Hellhound! H-Help me! Y-Yagami-san! "Hellhound," huh? Let me guess.
Your affinity is fire, and your brand of magic is summoning, right? I wonder how many points I can get for the head of a policeman! I'm going to take it to Pandemonium and upgrade my class to a higher one! Points, Pandemonium, a higher class Using video game terms can erase the sense of reality and danger This guy has no idea what he's doing because this is just a game for him.
This is a clever way to do it Go, Garm! You idiot! Bullets don't work on Garm! Die! I got to learn a lot of things from you.
It's been helpful.
Now you can keep on babbling behind bars! I can't take it anymore! This job is insane! All I ever wanted was to become a normal policeman! So why did they send me to this special unit?! I guess we'll call it a day.
Tsui-Ling The memory of that fleeting moment I took a deep breath within the flash I will always protect it so it won't fade away The dream where I screamed whatever I felt like, the red sky after school If I'd wasted even a second, I might not be who I am today The future that I dreamed of when I was a kid, even now those lively eyes keep on shining in my heart I get to say selfish things and wear whatever I want, but who do I owe it all to? One day I will reach the place that I dreamed of The memory of that fleeting moment that will never fade away We have the power to take someone's life instantly.
I wouldn't blame people for being afraid of me.
Hey, what do you think you're doing, Catherine?! Yukari, are you seriously going to help Detective Tachibana? Downloading youma from the internet? What's happening in Tokyo right now? Next time on Kaze no Stigma: "Tokyo RPG.
" Magical girl C-chan? What the heck is that?!
