Bungo Stray Dogs (文豪ストレイドッグス)

Virus symptoms—

begin

The next requested piece is the "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker Suite.

Yo, Ivan, I've completed the orders.

Hey, Ivan, are you listening?

Hey!

Silence.

I can't hear Tchaikovsky.

Listening to the radio again?

I infected the intruders.

So, what's the boss's next order?

Our master instructs you to do what you can to escape.

No backup?

If I get caught, the virus will be lost, as well.

I have no intention of protecting anyone other than our master.

I'm in bliss.

I'd love to see your face the moment the bliss is gone, too.

The skin on my face?

If the master were to ask for it,

I would peel it off without a second thought.

You're completely nuts.

The bastards are after me.

I'll see you on the surface.

Episode 37

Finally, a connection.

Dazai-san!

I trust that you're chasing down the gifted controlling the virus.

His virus infects the victim through open wounds.

The fever and nausea make it difficult to even just stand.

Don't let yourselves be so much as grazed.

I'll take care of Fyodor.

Don't let that gifted out of your sight.

Damn, I can't reach.

Weretiger!

Akutagawa!

Neither the wretched dog nor the weretiger live up to their reputations.

What the hell is that?

Go faster than him!

Also, you're an uncomfortable ride.

Shut up.

Left!

Right!

What?

Forward!

Don't think. Just run, fool!

Shut up! You're not paying for this ride!

Got you!

You're too late.

Weretiger!

What is that?

Later!

He's getting away.

I'm so blessed.

My master, Fyodor-sama,

has tasked me with something more important than guarding him.

Rats in the House of the Dead Agent Ivan G.

Special Ability: The Precipice

Prepare yourself, weretiger.

We're going to take him down within a minute and go after the tram.

They're on the move.

Dazai-san, three cars just left the abandoned mines from the north.

Contact the surface team and follow them.

Ignore them.

Those are decoys meant to slow us down.

How can you be sure?

Because that's what I would do.

Understood.

Tanizaki-san, there's a cargo truck leaving from the west of the mines.

Is that the one?

No, it's not.

Ignore that one, too.

Now we're seeing several armed soldiers moving to the southeast.

They're escorting someone in a hood.

Ignore them.

But...

We're trying to capture a demon.

We need every hand we can spare.

Ignore them.

You're wasting your time.

My ability is to control earth.

No amount of cutting or crushing will defeat my stone giant.

Weretiger!

Don't forget that you're in the belly of my ability.

Even the ground you stand on is your enemy.

I'm impressed that you survived my blow, man with the ability of the weretiger.

It seems there'll be a lot of pain to be had before my bliss.

If we can't defeat the stone giant,

we have no choice but to go after the gifted himself.

But if this ground is in the field of his special ability,

even getting close will be difficult.

Then our only choice...

Akutagawa.

Yeah.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Of course.

How many times do you think we've tried to kill each other?

Stay put, sickly man.

Keep running, fool.

Give it up!

What?

This is...

Is he jumping on the black cloth of that ability to avoid touching the earth?

I can't tell where he is!

Got you!

An fully-enclosed defense using fast-spinning rocks.

If I can't tell where you're coming from, I just need to protect myself in all directions.

Now, wretched dog, it's your turn.

"Even the ground that you stand on is your enemy."

I'm afraid to say, those words have been directed at my enemies countless times.

Damn it, using me as bait...

You're the one who charged in knowing you were bait.

Of course I knew.

How many times do you think we've tried to kill each other?

Let's go after the tram, weretiger.

Be my horse.

Come on, that's—

Weretiger!

A golem...

It's a fake!

This is the virus'...

My master brings joy to this godless world.

Evil is the one who stands in his way.

I've infected you with the virus through your wound.

I have no strength.

I won't be able to go after the tram, even if we beat him.

Dazai-san, there's a helicopter of unknown nationality approaching from the east.

We can't fight it off with our equipment.

Call for the military police to back us up.

A helicopter?

Is there anyone on the ground?

People?

There's what appears to be hiker at the base of the mountain.

He's wearing a hat, so I can't see his face.

That's the one.

Everyone stop the hiker.

Send Mori-san's men, too.

Immediately.

G-Got it.

Dazai-san, it wasn't him!

He's just an ordinary hiker handcuffed with grenades.

It's not Fyodor!

You two are strong.

There's no end to this.

I'll have you drown.

My body's sinking and I don't have the strength to escape.

Farewell.

Shit.

Weretiger.

Answer my question from earlier.

Why do you fight?

This isn't the time for that.

There's a way to escape.

A last resort.

But answer me first.

Why do you fight?

You know the answer.

Those who can save no one do not deserve to live.

You fight to escape your childhood memories and earn the right to live.

But I heard that your childhood master died.

He's not dead.

He's standing behind you right now.

He lives in my head now.

He keeps repeating the cursed words, "Do what is right."

I can't get revenge against someone who's dead.

That's far more brutal than my trivial death.

Hey!

If I'm a wretched dog, you're a wandering dog.

This is the solution.

Fight, and give me an answer.

If you still lose like this...

I'll never forgive you.
