No other days in Yokohama underground society produced as many corpses as those 88 did,
Many organizations were involved in that bloodbath,
The Dragon Head Conflict
The night before its conclusion
This is sickening,
Corpses, no matter which way I look,
You're lucky to be alive in this situation,
Odasaku,
Dazai, where are you?
I have a feeling I know what you're up to, but you need to run,
It's not going to be safe there for long,
Piss off, scrub,
Hi, Chuuya, You're in range of the enemy,
Take some bullets and die, thanks,
Shut up,
Damn gifted,
He thinks he's the shit,
It would have been more amusing if you'd been struck by lightning and killed,
Shut it, Dazai,
You're five minutes late,
Because of that, I got smacked three more times than I needed to,
I might as well finish you off,
I'm not the one you need to kill,
Look at all this trash,
Clean it up, please,
You're prepared for this, aren't you?
Come to think of it, I have a debt to repay you,
It'll be mine,
It won't be mine, {n: i get that this is likely supposed to be a play on "loves me, loves me not", but it's very awkward in english, I'd suggest "It'll be mine/It won't be mine" but it really doesn't have the same cadence and I'm unsure of a better alternative}
It'll be mine,
It won't be mine,
It'll be mine,
It won't be mine,
It'll be mine,
It won't be mine,
It'll be mine,
It won't be mine,
It'll be mine,
It won't be mine,
Those jewels are all real,
He could have made a woman really happy,
It won't be mine, {E: I think he's saying the - not - one} {n: agree, i hear "-nai"}
It's not much fun seeing these readings come true,
Starting an organization hasn't helped me get what I want,
Give me back my friends,
Welcome, boring guest,
I don't expect you to give me what I desire,
Die now, as they did,
All your friends killed themselves,
Boring people are boring, even in death,
You,,,
Don't stop me,
Oh, dear,
Corruption, huh? {n: his souped up power is "Corruption" in the bible}
This is too much fun,
The day world and the night world

Six years later,,,
I never knew this place existed in Yokohama,
Nakajima Atsushi-kun,
Yes?
Do you know whose grave this is?
No,
But it's someone dear to you, right?
What makes you think that?
I've never seen you pay a visit to a grave,
Does it look like I'm visiting a grave to you?
It does, Why?
Odasaku!
Odasaku,,,
What am I supposed to do?
Be on the side that saves people,
If it doesn't matter either way, be a good person,
Save the weak, and protect the orphans,
There's little difference between justice and evil to you, is there?
That's at least a little more beautiful,
How can you be so sure?
I can,
More than anyone,
I'm your friend, after all,
Was it someone you were in love with?
If it was a woman I loved, I'd have died with her,
Oh, yeah, I guess you would have,
Did you say something?
Oh, no,
Nothing,
He was a friend,
The man who gave me a reason to quit the Port Mafia and join the Detective Agency,
Without him, I may have stayed in the Mafia,
murdering people,
I'm kidding,
I bet Kunikida-kun told you to come find me, didn't he?
Yes,
He said there's an important meeting,
Pass,
I've been wanting to try a new suicide technique,
Again?
Jeez,
Kunikida-san's going to give me an earful again,
Dihua Street, Taipei
Play
This is footage from a security camera in Taipei, Taiwan,
As you can see, the fog erupted in a matter of minutes, and vanished,
But this isn't a weather anomaly,
Suspicious bodies were discovered after the fog,
This burnt corpse,
Terrible,
Kunikida,,,
Yes?
This person's gifted,
You're correct, Rampo-san,
He was a well-known fire-wielding gifted in his area,
Age: Approx, 34 Taipei - Dihua Street Death by immolation {tl- is death by immolation redundant? Death by burning? Immolation?}
This is Singapore, a year ago,
Sure enough, a dense fog emerged,
Another suspicious corpse was discovered after it dissipated,
He was a card-wielding gifted,
A talented assassin,
Detroit, half a year ago,
Another body discovered after the fog,
As you can imagine, she was an ice-wielding gifted,
In other words, after the strange fog,
these gifted people across the world died by their own abilities,
Is the fog somehow related?
There are 128 confirmed cases that are thought to be of the same nature,
More than five hundred have died,
The Gifted Special Operations Division calls this series of events
the "Serial Gifted Suicide Incident",
Speaking of suicide,,,
Where's that fool Dazai, Atsushi?
He said he was going to pass, because he came up with a new suicide technique,
That bonehead!
I see,
What are you doing, Rampo-san?
It's a secret,
So any gifted who touches that fog kills themselves?
I'll never let you do that,
I'm never going to let you kill yourself and leave me behind,
So, what does this have to do with us?
{background - shinja - shinja}
There's more to this than just, "Let's be careful, because we're gifted, too," right?
The Special Operations Division has requested that we investigate,
We've received information that a man thought
to be involved in these serial suicides is in Yokohama,
We've been asked to capture him,
This is that man,
Name: Shibusawa Tatsuhiko Age: 29 Sex: Unknown Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Special Abilities: Unknown Nationality: Unknown
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, Twenty-nine,
All we know is that he has some kind of special ability,
and that he goes by the street name "Collector",
Is something wrong?
No, nothing,
The Armed Detective Agency will accept this job,
Gifted are the most direct victims of this case,
This is also important to protect the lives of the Agency,
More than anything, I get the sense that this is going to cause broader public harm,
The Detective Agency will hereby commit all of its resources to investigating this man,
Kunikida-san, what do you think?
About what?
Is serial suicide even a thing?
I can't say,
Supposing they have the ability to control people psychologically,
the international investigation agencies would have information on someone that powerful,
I hope we can get some more detailed information
out of the Special Operations Division agent we're about to meet,
Perfectly on schedule,
Kunikida-san!
It's the Special Operations Division agent,
He's dead,
What's the matter?
Did the murderer leave this behind?
An apple?
Kunikida-san,,,
Why an apple?
How should I know?
What shall we toast to today?
Shouldn't we wait for Ango to arrive?
Let's chat, then,
I heard something interesting recently,
Have you heard of apple suicide?
Apple suicide?
Yup, apple suicide,
Oh, you mean Cinderella,
Cinderella,,,
I didn't expect you to say that,
I never get bored of talking to you, Odasaku,
Just for your information, it was Snow White who ate the poison apple,
And it wasn't suicide in her case,
I see,
I got it wrong,
No, hang on,
Maybe she did commit suicide,
Maybe she took a bite of the apple knowing it was poisoned,
Why?
Despair,
Despair in having been given poison by her mother,
No,,,
Maybe it was a more nebulous despair,
Despair intrinsic to this world,
That would be interesting, if it were the case,
I met an interesting gifted recently,
He makes people commit apple suicide,
It might become popular in Yokohama someday, too,
Suicide, you mean?
Yeah,
Wouldn't it be beautiful?
You're an interesting one,
Your mind dances,
Nowhere as interesting as you,
Ango's late,
Ango's not coming,
Odasaku, what you said is true,
Being on the side that saves people is definitely more beautiful,,,
if the goal is to continue living,
I'm off, now, Odasaku,
Dazai-kun,
Oh, Ango,
You're here,
Did you come for a drink?
No, I'm in the middle of work,
Work?
You were the one who brought Shibusawa Tatsuhiko here to Yokohama, aren't you?
Are you plotting to start a mass suicide here?
Do you think you can catch me?
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
No orphanage would welcome the likes of you!
The world would be a better place
if you'd just die in a ditch somewhere!
What the,,,?
You don't belong anywhere in this world,
I was dreaming,
Can I come in?
Yeah,
Are you okay?
Why?
You sounded like you were having a really bad dream,
Yeah,
I had a bit of a nightmare,
Wait, Kyouka-chan?!
Was there fog in your dream?
Is this,,,?
My phone's not working,
Mine, neither,
Could this be the fog that apparently makes gifted people kill themselves?
Let's go to the Agency,
R-Right now?
Th-The fog might clear up eventually,
Um,,,
Kyouka-chan,,,
Kyouka-chan!
Where's the driver?
What's going on?
Kyouka-chan,,,
Silence dominated,
It was as if every person had vanished from the city,
Get out, you good-for-nothing!
You don't belong anywhere in this world,
Kyouka-chan,,,
I feel fierce bloodlust,
Kyouka-chan!
Is this another suicide by special ability?
But I don't see a body,
Let's go, Kyouka-chan,
Beast Beneath the Moonlight!
Demon Snow!
Kunikida-san,
Atsushi,
That wound,,,
Did you get shot?
I got the bullet out,
I'm fine,
More importantly, I know what's causing the serial suicides,
Run!
Kunikida-san, hurry!
Kunikida-san!
Kyouka-chan?
Are you all right?
What happened?
I got hit by my own ability,
By your own ability,,,?
Demon Snow!
Get on!
Run, Atsushi!
Kunikida-san, what were you saying about the cause of the suicides,,,?
The gifted didn't commit suicide,
They were killed by their own abilities,
Let's hurry to the agency,
What happened here?
The president's office!
Kunikida-san!
What is that?
We almost have a connection,
Keep this level steady,
Can you hear me?
President Fukuzawa, is that you?
It's Agent Kunikida,
You're with the Special Operations Division, correct?
Special Operations Division?
I'm Sakaguchi Ango of the Special Operations Division,
Kunikida-san, what is the situation over there?
I'm here with Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyouka,
All other Agency staff are currently missing,
Understood,
Our connection isn't stable,
I'll keep it short,
The fog phenomenon has happened here in Yokohama,
No such vast fog exists on record,
It has stopped spreading, but the entirety of Yokohama is engulfed,
Yokohama is currently disconnected from the outside,
Almost everyone in Yokohama is currently missing, or has vanished,
It appears that only the gifted are present,
Which means you're in danger as well,
We can confirm,
Here in this fog, the gifted have been separated from their special abilities,
The abilities attempt to kill the gifted they belong to,
This could definitely be bad,
Fortunately, we've determined the location of the gifted
who is most likely responsible for this phenomenon,
He's in an abandoned high-rise called Mukurotoride in the center of Yokohama,
Is it Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, after all?
I am making an important request of the Agency,
Please eliminate the mastermind, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko,
By any means necessary,
Also, note that Dazai-kun appears to be with the mastermind,
Dazai is?
He's been captured?
We need to act, before Yokohama is annihilated,
You're our only hope,
He's here,
You two go on ahead,
I'll stop him myself,
But, Kunikida-san,,,
There's no way you're going to win against your own ability,
It's not a matter of winning,
It's a matter of having the will to fight,
Prevailing against myself,
That's what I've always done,
What the,,,?
We are an armed detective agency,
Take this,
I don't need one,
His special ability won't let him make any weapons larger than the size of the notebook,
Escape out the back door while I draw him in,
Now!
I trust we've determined the location of Gifted Number A5158,
Yes,
Please send a message,
What shall we say?
"Pay your debt to doc glasses,"
Kunikida-san!
Kunikida-san's okay, right?
Our priority right now is to eliminate Shibusawa Tatsuhiko,
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko,
I wonder what Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is like,
You say "eliminate," but there's no need to kill anyone, no matter how bad they are,
We just need to capture him,
I'm sure Dazai-san will help us once we get him out,
Yeah,
We can manage if we can save Dazai-san,
Dazai-san will know what to do,
Dazai-kun,
don't you get bored looking at that?
Bored?
Yeah, it's boring,
A sea of white and nothingness,
A nondescript world,
Tonight, all of Yokohama's special abilities will become mine,
Once again, no one will emerge whose intellect surpasses mine,
who will defy my expectations,
How boring,
I used to be bored, as you are,
How did you overcome it?
It's quicker to show you than to tell you,
See? Case in point: you don't know what my true intentions are,
Am I helping you?
Am I going to use you and betray you?
You're the only one who thinks you can't be read,
It seems you do need salvation,
Who do you propose could save me?
Who knows,
An angel?
Or a demon?
If you ask me, both of your intentions are obvious,
You'll never write a good play with such lies,
You've lost the audience, too,
Demon Fyodor-kun,
As my collaborator, I'm going to have you dance as well,
Collaborator?
I think he's the most likely to betray you,
You're correct, indeed,
No one has surpassed my expectations thus far,
I have my hopes up for you,
Of course, it's the gifted of this town that I feel most sorry for,
No matter which of the three of us prevails,
they will all perish,
What am I going to do if I never get my ability back?
I-Is it safe to drive so fast in this fog?
I have all of Yokohama's roads memorized,
That has nothing to do with my skills as an assassin or with my special abilities,
When I first learned that I'd turned into a tiger and gone on a rampage,
I wished my ability would disappear,
I never thought I'd be attacked by that tiger,
Demon Snow killed my parents,
I've never thought of her as a friend,
If she opposes me, I'll defeat her,
She's here,
The safety!
Go!
Hurry!
You,,,
Akutagawa!
What a pathetic weapon,
No pea shooter is going to have an effect on her,
Amusing,
Let's see who comes out on top,
Now isn't the time for that!
There should be a secret passage nearby for the Mafia brass,
Come, weretiger,
Hey!
Go!
I'll be there, I promise!
All right,
Kyouka-chan!
This emergency passage was made in case of a gifted attack,
The fog won't reach us here,
What is that fog?
It's the dragon's breath,
Dragon?
Kyouka, with neither of us having our abilities,
you could kill me with your assassin skills,
What's wrong?
Didn't you have a score to settle with me?
Kyouka-chan doesn't think anything of you anymore!
Want to end this while we don't have our abilities?
You know how to get our abilities back?
I know of a way,
What?!
Defeat the ability, and it'll return to its owner,
Are you that uninformed?
What is your plan?
It's probably the same as ours,
No,,,
Shibusawa?
I'm going to shred his organs and end his life,
Is there any other way to save Yokohama?
We won't kill,
That's not what the Detective Agency does,
That's laughable,
You're quite something, weretiger,
What?!
Kyouka understands what this job entails,
She's former Port Mafia, after all,
I left to live in the light of day,
I quit the Port Mafia to join the Detective Agency,
The Mafia's killings and the Agency's killings are different,
Kyouka-chan,,,
If it had happened before Dazai-san joined the enemy,
we may have stopped the fog before we had to kill,
Dazai-san joined the enemy?!
Indeed,
He allied himself with the enemy of his own volition,
Dazai-san would never do such a thing!
He already betrayed the Port Mafia,
I'm going to be the one to kill Dazai-san,
Do you think you can kill Dazai-san?
If he's going to fall into enemy hands, I'd rather kill him myself,
I won't let you kill Dazai-san,
I can't go with you,
I'm going with him,
My collection room,
Welcome to Draconia,
So these are all crystallized abilities,
I'm impressed you gathered all this,
A splendid collection,
The devil would be jealous,
That would make you death's rat, here to sell information to the devil,
Most of this collection was gathered using information I bought from you,
Thanks to you,
I was able to create this massive volume of fog, large enough to engulf the whole city,
But how did you gather all that information?
Every city is filled with rats,
Meow,
Here comes another,
Somewhere in Yokohama, a gifted has died,
Alas, without the one special ability that belongs here, none of this matters,
No matter how many I gather,
Kyouka-chan, why are you following this guy?
He has information,
We can use the Mafia's secret passage,
More than anything, he's taken his ability back,
He's a powerful asset,
Our goal of eliminating Shibusawa is the same,
But,,,
It looks like you're still holding on to your mother's cell phone,
Mother?
You haven't even been told about that?
I haven't,,,
What's the shortest route?
Zero five zero five,
No wonder they can sense my presence,
I'll help,
No,
I've wandered many a night and slain many an enemy to prove my might,
But I hadn't thought such an enemy,
worthy of fighting and being defeated, would be so near,
Don't act on your own,
We each have something we need to be doing,
Do what you need to be doing,
Kyouka-chan!
To me, people are nothing but machines of flesh, behaving in identifiable ways,
But there is just one person I fail to comprehend,
Myself,
Don't you have any friends?
I don't need friends,
I understand everyone's minds, after all,
I will surely go to the world beyond, between my lines, past the blank spaces,
You wouldn't be saying that if you actually had friends,
That time will soon come,
For all of this here, Yokohama's special abilities are to become mine, {this line doesn't make any sense - does he mean, in exchange for everything in this room, all of yokohama's abilities will become his?}
Do you think there's even one person who can surpass their own special abilities?
The Rashoumon attack is one where cloth is turned to a blade and sent flying at the enemy,
Thus, so long as one is outside of its reach, they are safe,
Shit,
How do I defeat it?
Do I just need to destroy that thing?
Dammit!
No one can win against their own special ability, after all,
Demon Snow killed my mother,
But if I defeat her, I'll merge with her and become a demon again,
Just as I hoped,
{nani}What?
I'd expect as much from my own ability,
But,,,
Good,
That's where you belong,
Demon Snow is an embodiment of slaughter,
And yet,,,
And yet, I,,,
And yet,,,
And yet you want to use that power for the sake of others, don't you?
Kyouka,
Kyouka-chan!
Shatter the crystal on her forehead!
Here it comes,
What is?
A5158,
You've got some nerve, calling me out like some take-out delivery boy,
May we have some time alone?
This is a government facility,
You don't expect to get away with this, do you?
I'll be the one to decide if I do or not,
Not you,
You have a debt to me,
No, you have a debt with me,
What are you talking about?
Don't act dumb, Do you think I don't know?
It's what happened six years ago,
How's your wound?
I'm fine,
Once I have my strength back, it'll recover on its own with my tiger healing ability,
Mukurotoride,
That's where Dazai-san is, {E: dazai, right?}
We have to help Dazai-san,
He'll know what to do,
You got your ability back, huh?
My tiger's healing ability hasn't come back,
I defeated the tiger,,, Why,,,?
You got your ability back, too, huh?
Why am I the only one who hasn't?
Fool! Do you still not understand?
What,,,
What the hell?!
Akutagawa!
Explain!
Hey!
You're too hurt,
Rest here,
Kyouka-chan?
I'm sorry I never told you,
I didn't want you to know,
About what?
That I control Demon Snow with my phone,
That I actually didn't want to hate her,
I'll complete the mission,
Wait!
Kyouka-chan,
Kyouka-chan!
That's why you're no good,
What do you mean?
It was you bureaucrats who sent Shibusawa into the Dragon Head Conflict,
It was supposed to end the conflict that had engulfed all of Yokohama,
But he never had any intention of maintaining peace,
All you did was create more corpses,
You protected him anyway, because he's a gifted
with the potential to stand up against a nation-wide gifted takeover,
That's why, not only did you turn a blind eye
to all the corpses he'd produced overseas, you covered it all up,
All for the peace in this nation,
Watch your mouth, doc glasses,
If you hadn't sent him out,
all six of my friends would be alive right now,
Will you kill me?
I wouldn't mind,
I've been prepared ever since I'd decided to ask for your assistance,
It's a deal, then,
I'll accept your job,
And you'll pay with your life,
All according to plan,
Yeah, all according to plan,
That was a pain in the ass,
getting in without making him suspicious of us,
Say, what's the real reason you teamed up with me?
Simply to see the world as it ought to be,
But wouldn't you agree that the more entertainment there is, the better?
So the question is, who is the clown, huh?
I had no intention of making an ally of you,
but it was necessary to make Shibusawa the clown,
He even has the Japanese government by the balls, after all,
He was intent on creating the fog here in Yokohama with or without your guidance, after all,
Here you are,
One is a crystal that summons all the gifted as far as the eye can see here,
The other turns the abilities of the gifted who touch it into crystals, {this and the preceding line are a little vague - are they correct?}
With these two crystals, we can consume the entire collection,
starving the fog of an energy source and rendering it unsustainable,
Now, first, use your nullification ability to disable the shell that is the crystal,
and return the abilities to their former state,
I hope Atsushi-kun and the others are safe,
Touch that, and it'll erase everything,
It'll all be over,
Didn't I tell you?
None will surpass my expectations,
I was certain I'd locked the door,,,
I see,
So this is where the betrayal happens,
Didn't I tell you?
The more entertainment, the better,
And?
What will you do next?
There is no next,
You alone have always been my target,
I thought this fruit knife wouldn't do more than make me hurt,
But poison,,,
It's a lethal anesthetic,
Taste death, You've longed for it so dearly,
How could you?
This feels great,
With the owner dead, the special ability leaves him,
This is the first time in my life that my heart has raced so,
This isn't it!
What?
Don't open that door,
Though you have neither the courage nor the dignity,
You've finally lost your tiger's ability,
Part with it and move on,
Don't worry, no one expects anything of you,
I won't listen to you,
Once you know, you can't go back to not knowing,
If you've made it to the door, it isn't locked,
Go of your own will, and die,
The merging ability and the disabling ability,
With the two contrary abilities becoming one, a singularity is born,
Even with Dazai's special ability, what you really desire—
your lost memories — will never come back,
How do you know about that?!
Not to worry, I'll fill in the lines that were blanked out for you,
That is death,
Do you remember anything?
I see,,,
This sensation,,,
I remember it,
That president doesn't understand your special ability,
Your ability is rare, even throughout the world,
It's the only special ability that won the envy of all other gifted,
But perhaps, because of your youth, your special ability is locked deep within you,
I can't pull it out, even with my fog,
So,,,
Now, surprise me,
Is this,,,
Right,
I remember, now,
That moment, I used my claws,
That moment, I hit the switch,
Because I heard your special ability was one that guided the envy of all other gifted,
A Russian named Fyodor,
That's right,
That moment, you died,
And it was you, yourself, who'd inherited your ability,
when you parted with your body,
You'd forgotten about your own death and made a room to collect and manage yourself in,
That's who you are now,
That moment, I used my claws,
That's right,
That moment, you killed me,
With those claws of yours,
What do you expect?!
I wanted to live!
A boy always uses the claws of a tiger in order to live!
It's the beginning of the end,
You're quite greedy, aren't you, Dazai-kun?
Even in death, you intend to see this town to its demise, do you?
I'll tell you an interesting fact, in celebration of you finding a friend in me,
Have you never thought about why my special ability doesn't leave me in this fog?
I am crime,
I am punishment,
Did you know?
Crime and punishment are close friends,
Borders vanish,
Rooms awaken,
The incarnation of death, the master of the ability-consuming fog,,,
Eat, howl, and make violence as your instinct desires, {tl- make violence isn't an actual phrase,,, not sure what to say here}
This is neither a loss of control nor a singularity,
The dragon is the true form of the chaos of special abilities,
Singularity anomaly readings are increasing,
Five times higher than six years ago,
Five point five,
Readings increasing,
They won't stop,
What is A5158's current location?
Get your shit together, scrub,
Chuuya-kun,,,
Dazai-kun is almost certainly eliminated by now,
Do you understand what that means?
I don't care,
Are you sure?
You haven't taken your reward,,, My life,
Don't get cocky, asshole,
You were a lowly infiltrator six years ago,
No one lent you an ear when you opposed employing Shibusawa, did they?
This is nothing but his bumbling,
That dimwit Dazai is inside there,
No doubt about it,
I need to give him a smack, or I'll never get over it,
I'm hanging up,
I'm counting on you,
We're approaching the target,
You're that chick from way back,
Tsujimura,
Are you really going?
Yeah,
It's no use,
It's a gifted against a human,
That thing is a monster beyond human comprehension,
Get overconfident and fight it, and you'll die,
That's not a reason to chicken out and go home,
Do you know when it's all right to chicken out and go home?
I do not,
There is no such time,
Grantors of dark disgrace,
you need not wake me again,
Amazing,
It's all getting higher, {tl- is she talking about the rocks? i can't tell} {maybe about the mist?}
His special ability is gravity control,
In this state of contamination, having become a slave to gravitons,
he can neither control nor disable it,
So he has no control of it until he dies?
Dazai-kun's nullification ability is the only way to end it,
Without it, he's doomed,
No,,,
You used Corruption, believing in me?
How beautiful,
Yeah, I did,
I believed in your disgusting vitality and craftiness, {vitality doesn't seem to fit the tone here: what's the intent?}
That was a somewhat violent way of waking Snow White,
You're the one who hid an antidote in your mouth, knowing I'd punch you,
Let go, asshole,
Don't move,
The fog hasn't cleared,
I don't want to have to protect you from your special ability in this situation,
It's still not over?
No, it's just beginning,
Shit,
I can't move a single finger,
I predicted this far,
But the rest is on them,
You act as though you know everything, when in fact you know nothing,
The fog will spread unceasingly,
This planet will become a fruit of death — a dead apple,
I have a modest gift for you,
A fragment of the crystal for gathering abilities,
With this, you're the singularity,
I remember everything, now,
It wasn't the special abilities that I sought,
It was the glimmer of the light of the tenacious life force,
prevailing over my own special ability,,, Over my own fate,
It was the light you'd shown me,
By killing me, your soul had proven to me the strength of life,
Show me your light once more!
The fog has begun to spread!
Singularity variance immeasurable,
Expansion speed 100 kilometers,
At current rate, in an hour and thirty-five minutes, the whole of the Kanto region will be engulfed,
In twelve hours and thirty-six minutes, all of Tokyo,
and in 168 hours the whole of the planet will be covered,
Are you serious?
We have a call from the English special operations organization,
It's the Clock Tower esquires,,, {tl- esquires?}
Good day,
On behalf of the nations of Europe, my heart goes out to your nation in this time of crisis,
On that note, in order to prevent it from spreading throughout the rest of the world,
we have deployed a gifted with an incineration ability, {tl- i can't figure out how to de-clunk the second half of this sentence}
Incineration ability,,,
When will they begin?
In exactly thirty minutes,
With the crack of dawn,
Yokohama's going to be incinerated,
Shibusawa, correct?
Rashoumon
Rashoumon!
Demonic,,,
{Demonic Armor! - pt1}Demonic
{Demonic Armor! - pt2}Armor
Armor!
{Demonic Armor! -full}
So you lot are gifted,
"You lot"?
Why did you come?
I just want that man to live in the light,
I'll kill this man,
Demon Snow!
To think that two of you would take back your special abilities,
We aren't the only two to have taken our abilities back,
I expect that this, too, was within your calculations, Dazai-kun,
Though I don't have time to worry about others right now,
I love you, Rintarou,
You're too adorable, Elise-chan,
I can't bring myself to shred you up,
Now, what is the optimal solution in this situation?
A swordsman with skill equal to mine,
You may have no equal in skill, but you're far too proper,
With no guile in your sword, you will never defeat me,
Fukuzawa-dono,
What a coincidence, Mori-sensei,
Are you having a problem?
I've just had a glimpse of a solution,
Excellent,
Is it not at times like these that your daily actions speak?
I thought it was just your scalpel, {tl- can't parse this,,, his only target is his scalpel? he only uses his scalpel on his targets?} {n: maybe fukuzawa is saying he thought mori only ever used his scalpel - ie as a weapon}
I'll be careful from now on,
No mercy, even for an endearing girl,
The lone swordsman, Silver Wolf,
You are indeed guilty,
That was nothing but a fiend,
Hey, Rintarou!
What the heck are you doing, leaving me behind?!
It's the real Elise-chan,
I don't believe you!
I think she's a fiend either way,
{baka, aho, something oyajii}
What's the light of life?
I don't have any light of life,
When I lost my tiger abilities to the fog, I was honestly relieved
that now I didn't have to hurt the people around me,
That the tiger and I are actually separate creatures,
But,,, the tiger once helped me,
I've already passed through death,
How do you kill something that's already dead?
You abomination!
No matter where I run, the tiger follows,
It's the same as the way I can't escape the beating of my own heart,
For you're my strength to keep living,
I hear you well, now,
I understand your words well,
I know,
I know everyone's souls are on fire,
I'll say the same to you,
Hurry up, or I'm leaving you behind,
Come, tiger! {tl- he says "white tiger" but i don't see that anywhere in the previous episodes, i'm assuming we just call it tiger?} {n: it's always just been tiger, yeah - I wasn't aware the word he uses means white tiger?}
I've taken the light of your lives,
but that light isn't enough,
Dragon Tiger is a well-deserved name, {tl- never heard of this}{n: they're totally off the rails of the manga at this point and i've never read even fan translations of the light novels,,, so yeah, i got nothing}
The Russian who told me of your existence told me
that the dragon is the true form of the chaos of special abilities,
Then, as you are the one who embodies the tiger, you are the antithesis of all special abilities, {tl- i have no idea what he's saying at this point} {n: is there some kind of japanese myth connection between tiger and dragon?? that's the only way i see this leap from "the dragon" to "so because you're a tiger" making sense}
Took you long enough,
Are you going to kill me again, Nakajima Atsushi-kun?
I'm simply going to return something to where it belongs,
Don't be mistaken,
I'm not stopping you, {tl- ,,,, i'm sorry i'm really confused}
Good, Atsushi-kun,
You are indeed special,
I'm definitely not bored anymore,
Demon Snow!
The three of us need to combine our strength,
Otherwise we can't secure our place of being, {n: this makes zero sense to me and i have no idea what might be intended}
You can call Demon Snow again, right?
Kyouka, weretiger,,,
You understand what you need to do, don't you?
Yeah, I know,
Kyouka-chan,
You said you didn't want to hate Demon Snow,
She'll respond to your words,
Your naivete is beautiful,
Kyouka-chan!
Demon Snow!
It's no use, give it up!
Akutagawa!
Don't tell me what to do!
I won't let you get away this time,
This is it,
This joy I feel over death,
Do you feel it?
What the,,,
Show me once more that glimmer that opposes all special abilities! {tl- i don't know if it's because i'm not philosophical enough or if this is nonsense,,,} {n: i'm assuming this is all linked to fyodor's arc and fyodor's motivation/desire to destroy all special abilities?? but it does sound super nonsense in lots of the last 30 mins so far :/}
Beautiful,
This is the supreme special ability,
No!
What?
That's not an ability,
That's me!
I understand everything, now,
Why I'm here,
why you appeared before me,
and what his words mean,,,
You,,,
You must be the angel who saves me,
The singularity and fog have been confirmed eradicated,
The Clock Tower esquires have called to inform us that their mission has been aborted,
What a shame,
The scent of a burning nation goes well with tea,
What the hell are you doing here?
Dimwit Dazai is safe,
Yo,
Give me your shoulder, {tl- to stand on? i don't get it} {E: to help him out}{n: if it fits the tone "Lend me" might be a little more obvious, but I think the meaning here is clear?}
I'm not gifted, and I'm back here, which must mean it all worked out well,
Atsushi's gotten pretty good,
Don't you think, Dazai?
Atsushi-kun, what I did earlier,,,
You,,,
You tried to protect this city,
Do I look like such a good person?
Sure, why?
Well, whatever,
I hope he managed to fill his boredom and loneliness,
Is this really what you wanted?
Just as Shibusawa was able to forget he'd been killed before,
I think Dazai can put his past behind him again, {n: jigged these lines a lot for clarity, please double-check the meaning etc is correct and intact}
But this is right,
At least, for now, I'm proud we were able to protect the city together,
I think it's at least a little more beautiful to live on with you and Kyouka-chan and the others,
You!
Boneheads! You're still alive!
Everyone's safe,
Of course,
We're the Armed Detective Agency, after all,
Right?
Yes,
It's a minor miracle that, after all that happened,
none of the civilians were harmed,
Ow!
Get to work, please, Tsujimura-kun,
It's still day four of our all-nighter marathon,
There's no way we're going to cover this up,
Report
Even though it happened in the conceded zone of Yokohama, they caused some spectacular damage, {tl- i spent 20 minutes looking this up, asked my mom, and still no idea what they mean by 横浜租界} {n: used the suggestion in the email to dodgy in something that makes sense; please check}
Senpai,
what do you think the deal was with this incident, anyway?
I don't know,
Given the complexity of the three masterminds' motivations, we still don't have a full picture,
Dazai-kun's the same as usual, and demon Fyodor's intentions are impossible to comprehend,
But, beyond all the scheming and lying, the incident may fundamentally be very simple,
How is a man like Shibusawa, {E: I think this line starts here}
so intelligent that others look like alien creatures to him, to act, to be destroyed,
or to be saved?
To be one of three aliens in the world, in isolation and loneliness,,,
I can't even imagine it,
Tsujimoto-kun?
Were you aware of the trick, Boss?
Dazai-kun was acting on his own, and I expected he would need your help,
As a forerunner,
So I was an opening act?
Dazai-kun is the star,
And what do I get in return?
The return of order in this city,
The peace of this city, huh?
Good work,
You don't need to thank me,
It was your order,
I'm just doing my job,
Everything is but entertainment,
But in order to end this world, rife with crime and punishment,
I do need that book,
The blank novel sleeping in this town, {n: and there it is, this is the core of the current manga arc: he's searching for this book because he believes he can use it to eradicate every special ability in the world}
Do you understand?
Do nothing to insult our clients,
You're the agency's mommy, aren't you, Kunikida-kun?
Don't overwork yourselves, you two,
Off you go,
Take care,
We're leaving,
