Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e23 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 All right.
I will stop Kazuma.
Big sis! I don't really know how much I mean to Kazuma Kirika-san, I know you told me that I'm Kazuma's worthwhile present.
That doesn't really click for me, to be honest with you, but if there's any worth in me, then I want to make Kazuma turn around and pay attention! Not to the past or Tsui-Ling-san But to the present! Ayano-chan Sheesh, it must be nice to get to play that role! But I won't forgive you if you mess up! You just wait, Bernhardt.
I'll frickin' kill you! I'll go.
I'll slay Kazuma and obliterate Pandemonium.
Uncle! Genma, are you sure? I may have disowned him, but he's still my biological son.
Therefore, I believe I should be the one who puts an end to this.
Wait a minute, Father! Before you do that, please let us go first! What will you accomplish? We will stop big brother! There's no need for that.
- But - I said there's no need for that! Those born into the Kannagi head family are not allowed to let their emotions control them.
Even if that person is your flesh and blood, a mistake still must be corrected.
If big brother has committed a crime, then I think he should live and atone for it.
Death can't be an atonement! There are things that you can only atone for by your death.
Uncle, enough already! All this nonsense about slaying and obliterating and death You're Kazuma's father before you're a member of the Kannagi, aren't you? Those things are my duty as one who bears the name of Kannagi.
Isn't that right, our next Soshu? All you say is "Kannagi this" and "Kannagi that"! Fine! Then let me tell you something as the next Soshu! Ren and I will handle this case! What did you say? We will stop Kazuma! I swear we'll stop him! That's impossible! That's the Contractor you're talking about! I swear it on this Enraiha! Fine.
You go right ahead.
B-Big sis?! Uncle is no joke.
Talk about intimidating! But now no one will interfere with us.
We're going to stop Kazuma with everything we've got! Yes! Ayano, do you know how you're going to stop Kazuma? W-Well, that's So you still haven't figured that out yet then.
We still have some time.
I'm counting on you, Ayano Holy Axe! Dark Explosion! Starlight Fall! It's started already! But Pandemonium hasn't descended yet They're trying to decrease the number of the participants before it starts and lower the competition rate.
Then all the Seeds are here? Looks like big brother isn't here yet.
Kazuma Kirika-san, should you really let them keep doing this? Why not? All the criminals are beating up on each other.
I totally welcome that.
But Let me handle them! Ren! The flame of purification? These people are just normal humans if you get rid of their youma's power.
I've decided that if I have power that's greater than other people's, then I'll use it to protect other people.
Look how much he's begun to sound like a certain someone Let me take care of the Seeds.
Big sis, I want you to save your energy for when big brother shows up.
Midnight Pandemonium will descend! Here it comes! Pandemonium! It's gotten bigger than before.
- Look! - What's that? What is this? Youmas! Those youmas that possessed the Seeds must've awoken all at one time There's nothing we can do once they transform like that! Look at those youmas! They're heading to Pandemonium! Looks like he's here.
What is this murderous vibe in the air? Is this Kazuma? I'm sorry, but this is it for me.
If I go with you, I'll only end up getting in your way.
Okay! Ayano-chan! I know you can save Kazuma.
Have faith in yourself.
Thank you.
Kazuma.
Big brother! Please stop it already! Doing stuff like this does not make Tsui-Ling-san happy! Please cool your head! Revenge will not bring back a dead person! If Tsui-Ling-san saw how you are right now, I know it would make her sad! So please What are you talking about? How the hell could anything make a dead person sad? Big brother Everyone goes back to nothingness after they die.
So no matter what I do for the dead, it won't make them happy or sad They won't feel anything.
If you think I'm trying to kill Bernhardt for Tsui-Ling, you've got it all wrong.
I will kill him because I want to kill him.
And I will kill those who interfere, too! That's all! But Shut up! Your words can't stop me.
Big brother Don't you get in my way, Ren.
So talking to you didn't work, huh? Well, I already pretty much knew it wouldn't.
In that case In that case, what? I will force you to stop! This wind pisses me off so much! You're going to stop me, you say? Yes, I will! I swear I will stop you! Do you seriously think you can do that? This is Kazuma's true power? It's so overwhelming He hasn't even used the power of the Contractor yet! I'm shaking Am I scared? Of course I am.
I'm going up against the monster that made a contract with the Spirit King of the Wind! But my hands didn't shake like this the last time I fought him And it didn't feel ominous like this either What a dirty wind! Oh, I get it.
Move.
You're in my way.
I finally figured out why I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off because you're being too ugly to watch! Move.
To tell you the truth, I'd always looked up to you a little.
I'd always thought I wanted to catch up with you one day and have you acknowledge me.
This is the last time I'll tell you, move.
That's why I can't acknowledge you right now! I can't believe I've been aspiring to something so ugly! I refuse to acknowledge that! I'm going to open your eyes! Don't worry.
I'll go easy on you.
Big brother Big sis Why you! Big sis, behind you! I was right If this were Kazuma If this were the usual Kazuma, I wouldn't be scared of him at all.
Because he'd be so big, so strong, so on a totally different level than me that it'd be stupid to even be scared of him That's Kazuma! That's the Kazuma that I know! I'm frightened.
That means that's how weak Kazuma is right now.
It proves that I can see to the bottom of his power.
I can't forgive him! I could never, ever forgive Kazuma for becoming so weak! I'll give it back to you so that you can remember yourself! I'll give back everything you've ever taught me! Don't let stuff like this surprise you! This is nothing! So don't you dare be surprised! You taught me all of this, remember?! The meaning of power, and how to use it, and how it is we ought to be! Why? Why is Ayano getting in my way? Why can't I kill Ayano? Why am I fighting? This is wrong This is wrong You're not Kazuma! You are not You are not my Kazuma! What's that?! Crimson Flame Our power is the power to protect something! Protecting is the duty of those who possess power! You're the one who taught me that, aren't you? Protecting? You told me that you didn't acquire the power so you'd have to choose, but so that you could protect it all, so that you didn't have to abandon anything anymore! Remember that? Will you protect me? Will you protect me forever and ever? Yeah, I promise I will.
Just like this breeze that you're feeling right now, I'll be by your side forever.
What are you trying to use that power for? Why do you keep looking at the past, and not the present? What are you What are you trying to protect, anyway? Damn What the hell am I doing? This power isn't for taking something away! It's to make sure that no one else will take anything away again That's what I've sworn to myself So why did I forget something so important? Hey, hey This is one miserable wind! No wonder I couldn't win against Ayano.
But on the other hand Ruby-red Divine Flame Crimson Flame, huh? I guess this is my second time to see it.
It was then, huh? That was when I fell under the spell of her flame and the brilliance of her soul.
This is remarkable.
I'm impressed how much her fire magic has developed.
Wake up already! Hey, wait a minute! Big sis! How's big brother? He should be okay.
If it hit him clean, you wouldn't even see his corpse.
More importantly! I beat Kazuma for the first time! Big sis, you're awesome! When did you learn how to use the Divine Flame? What? Divine Flame? What are you talking about? What do you mean, what am I talking about? You were just using it! The Crimson Flame! What? Really? I used the Divine Flame?! No way Big brother! Owww! All right, I guess I'll let you off with that.
It's always good to settle a score.
Hey, why aren't you injured, anyway?! Because I parried your whole attack.
I thought I could at least singe you a little! So, is it safe to assume you're sane again now? Oh, I was sane the whole time.
I can't believe you've got the nerve to say that after all this! My feelings for you are still here in my heart But it looks like I have more than one thing to treasure now.
That's all good, right, Tsui-Ling? What? H-Hey Wh-What did you do that for? You'd better be ready.
I'm selfish and greedy, you know.
B-Big brother! Look at Pandemonium! What's the meaning of this? Youmas are heading to Pandemonium! What are they trying to start? Nothing will start.
I'll destroy Pandemonium right here.
That'll be the end of it all.
Destroy it?! You've got to be kidding me! Nanase and Yukari may be in there! They were kidnapped because of you! You'd better take responsibility and rescue them! All right! Then let's get going! Right! I abandon anything I swear I'll protect them all this time! 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 I'm not asking you to protect me! What happened in your past is none of my business! But I can tell that you're in pain and suffering! Lean on me during times like that at least! Don't try to shoulder everything all by yourself! Kazuma, what am I to you?! Don't you take me for a fool! Next time on Kaze no Stigma, the final episode: "What's Protected by the Wind?" Maybe this is the last time I'll get to see your sulky face, huh?
