Shakugan no Shana: The Movie (劇場版 灼眼のシャナ)

Those who are not human lurk behind the shadows.

Those who have come from the world adjacent to this world, yet cannot walk here, are called Guze no Tomogara.

They slip into day-to-day human lives...

...and then devour that everyday life.

Yet, no one notices them.

Thank you.

Next!

Sakai!

Yes!

Um...

Father came back from Tokyo.

Sakai!

Hey, Ike.

Didn't you have cleaning duty today?

I got someone to replace me.

I have a mock exam at cram school.

You're getting ready for college already?

I've got to keep my parents happy, otherwise it affects my allowance.

What about you?

I got nothing to do, so I guess I'll walk around the station and check out CDs.

Hmm, see ya.

Hey Kazumi, Sakai-kun's the one you like, right?

Wh-Why?

I've known you for a long time.

I can tell easily.

But...

Um...

Don't hide it.

If you're after Sakai-kun, I think we can help each other.

Eh?

"Help"?

Come on, Kazumi.

I don't think I can expect much help from her.

I guess I'll have to work on my own.

All right!

Hello.

So... weren't you with Ike-kun today?

Ah, he's at cram school today. Why?

Nothing, just that I see you two together all the time.

Not necessarily all the time, but...

And I was wondering... if he had a girlfriend or not and...

Well he doesn't, but...

Really now.

I'm stopping by the station building, too, so...

Gotcha, later.

Really... To that Ike, eh?

Stop running.

Watch out!

You're kidding...

Wait...

Wh-What's this?

Okay, preparations complete.

There aren't that many people, but it's enough.

Let's have them.

Chow time, chow time!

It's so delicious, so delicious.

Don't talk while you're eating.

Shame on you.

Yes, ma'am.

H-Hirai-san!

Huh?

What is this guy?

I don't know, but he's not a Tomogara.

But he's moving inside the Fuzetsu.

He must be a Mystes.

Mystes?

You mean a Torch with treasure in it?

That's right, and it's a real special one.

We haven't had a good souvenir like this in a while. Our master will be happy.

Yeah! We've done a good job!

I caught you.

Time to eat.

Who is it?

What is this girl?

What do you think, Alastor?

They're not Tomogara, just Rinne.

The pendant talked!

How dare you cut my hand!

Crush down!

Don't!

Looks like that's just a shell.

So the main body left at the last moment.

It could still be around.

Is this a Mystes?

Yeah, and it seems like a unique one.

What?

Why-

She cut me...

I've been cut.

Flame hair and red-hot eyes...

So you're the Flame Haze of Alastor, the Flame of Heaven.

You tool of hunting.

That's who I am. So what?

My master won't take this quietly!

You're right, he will be spouting his last words soon.

Why you...

But now...

...let me hear yours first.

So that's the main part.

Behind you!

It got away.

From the way it was talking, sounds like someone strong is behind all of this.

We might be able to hunt the King of Guze in a while.

Putting all that aside...

H-Help me.

It hurts...

Please, call an ambulance.

Augh, shut up, shut up, shut up!

Stop crying about being cut now.

How can you...

I can only imagine what you were like when you were alive.

If you were human, you would have been dead the moment you received that wound.

If I was human?!

I've got to stop it from bleeding...

The blood!

There isn't any.

What's going on?

Is this a dream after all?

The fire! The fire!

Why?

Okay.

Hirai-san!

She's back.

Thank goodness.

That'll do for the Torches.

I'll use a few of them for fixing.

Yeah. And they sure ate a lot.

Their master must be a real big eater.

Finished.

No one noticed what happened?!

Hirai-san! Hirai-san!

Wait!

What? What is that?

Hirai-san...

How is this... Why?

Could they be...

Hey, wait a minute.

What was that all about?

Where did that boy go?

And inside Hirai-san and others there are-

Shut up already.

Alastor, should we dispose of this?

No, we mustn't open Mystes carelessly.

I know, but this one is so noisy.

Just tell it the truth.

Then it should quiet down, too.

Stop talking me as an "it" and "this", like an object or something.

That's right, you're not a human!

You're a thing.

Those were Rinne,

slaves of a sort to Guze no Tomogara.

They appear throughout this world and eat the existence of people.

Those eaten are treated as though they'd never existed.

But, if an existence disappears all of a sudden, the world's balance gets distorted.

That's why we place Torches.

Torches?

Remainders of humans that have disappeared.

That's you.

The "real" you's existence was eaten a long time ago, and you're long dead.

That's... ridiculous.

You can see your flame, right?

You're not the only one.

All of those with light in them are the same.

They're replacements for the humans that got their power of existence eaten.

They're Torches.

But they're only a shock absorber after all, so they'll go faint and disappear in the end.

Disappear?

Yes, disappear.

End of explanation.

I'm... already... dead?

How long are you going to follow me for?

My house is on this side.

Really.

I'm already dead...

Actually, it's "Sakai Yuji" that died, and I'm...

Damn it, my head isn't following.

Um...

Ah, shut up, shut up, shut up!

You still have more questions?

What are you? A human?

I'm a Flame Haze.

Fla... What?

Flame Haze.

One who finds and hunts Guze no Tomogara that eat power of existence.

Even if you place a Torch, it is only a temporary measure.

The fact remains that the world's crisis, due to the indiscriminate hunting of existences, does not change.

Flame Haze.

My apologies, Master.

I've made you lose one of your favorite Rinne.

You haven't done anything wrong, Marian.

It just happened to be a stronger Flame Haze.

Rather, I want to praise you for finding a Mystes.

But I let it get away.

Please, let me hunt that Mystes down.

I'm grateful for your thoughts, Marian.

But there's no need for you to rush.

Think and act carefully.

We are facing the Flame of Heaven's Flame Haze.

Yes.

Look at the Haridan, Marian.
