Ninja vs. Gokudo (忍者と極道)

I'm the Prime Minister of Japan, Kanshichi Aida!

Amazing... This is amazing!

So, this is what a Hell's Coupon can do?

Just kidding.

It's over!

The time bomb will go off in three minutes!

Oh, you're getting up?

Of course I am.

Your guts are spilling out and you're near death, so why would you?

Why... you ask?

Wait...

I'm not... going down yet.

I promised... him.

That I'd disarm the bomb.

I'm buying time here.

I won't let him die... no way in hell!

It's all...

for my friend!

The scene has changed again!

Did I get dosed with a hallucinogen?

Enough...

Hurry up and die.

And as you take your last breath, I'll tell you something.

No... this is probably...

And if it is...

I apologize in advance.

I'm going to do something a little awful to you.

No way! It's a trick!

They're probably just illusions Prima created!

A forest graveyard and ghosts of young women.

This is a scene from the ballet Giselle!

I see... Now I get it.

Prima's gokudo skill boosted by the coupon is the power of expression.

Her divine dance, powered by her incredible physical prowess,

conjures an illusion of a scene from the ballet!

If you know it's an illusion, there's nothing to fear!

It went right through!

But... But this...

You're scared, right? Even knowing it's just an illusion.

Even knowing it's not real,

it's so vivid, my instincts scream that my life is in danger.

But still...

It's too dangerous to fight her blind. Our physical disparity is too dangerous.

Have you given up?

You can't.

I'll show you even deeper despair.

Kiwami Kimura...

I'll show you despair billions of times greater

than what you showed Gamute.

The windmill giant from Don Quixote!

This isn't real.

But the sheer amount of visual input is messing with my mind.

Think... You have to think.

So you can move forward.

Forward... forward...

You've gotta be a fool, Kiwami.

If you overthink things, you can't act when it counts.

There are things in this life that only a fool can do.

Right, Kiwami?

Yuzawa...

Let's be fools and move forward.

I'll follow you, no matter where.

Yes.

Let's go together, Yuzawa!

A suicide attack?! Has he finally snapped?

A knight?!

I guess for the moment I'm Don Quixote, and you're Rocinante.

Not bad, Yuzawa!

Yeah!

March of the Yakuza Liner. Advance and Attack!

Are you stupid? Even with a suicide attack, in the end...

I win!

Huh? What's with this guy?

What did he just do to me...?

Hell's Coupon... got it.

It's okay.

The coupon's effects still linger inside me.

I'll use Manifestation of a Radiant Fantasy.

As I thought, the wires on the outside are a decoy.

No matter which is cut, it won't stop. A taunt to the frantic.

That's so Gamute.

So, which wire inside needs to be cut to stop the bomb going off?

By the way...

We forgot our underworld manners. Shall we introduce ourselves?

This guy... This man...

I'm Kiwami Kimura of the Eight Gokudo of Destruction.

Now, young lady.

Shall we dance?

I'm Prima of the Glass Children!

I'll stake everything on killing you!

Gokudo Skill...

Manifestation of a Radiant Fantasy.

So, that giant from before was your full power?

Looking at it now, it seems a lot...

smaller.

My... left foot!

The one that has danced with me since I was small.

The one that supported me through thousands of pliés.

You bastard... What the hell have you done?

I can't... dance ballet anymore.

I. Don't. Care!

Prima, keep the time bomb safe for me.

I'm counting on you.

You're my strongest right arm.

He fell back?!

He moved further away from the bomb... but why?

Phew... I kept my promise, Shinoha.

He cut me... and the wire... at the same time...

He got me... That man... totally got me.

But still...

I can strike back one last time!

Your friend...

Tell that bastard Kiwami who his friend really is.

Do it... Drop him into the depths of despair, Prima.

Ah... it's over.

You were about to say something?

Well, whatever.

I'm sorry... Gamute.

I... couldn't tell him.

You'll have to tell him.

You'll have to make him despair.

More than me... Gamute... you...

Gamute... Gamute...

When I was young, I went to the ballet with my family.

The dancers leapt so high, it looked like they would soar forever.

And I thought... I'll soar, too.

Just like that prima, I too would soar endlessly.

The family I was born into? It was ordinary.

Mom and Dad were kind people. My life was happy and carefree.

My brother, who went crazy after failing his exams,

squandered the funds set aside for me to study ballet abroad...

Then he killed Mom and Dad.

Here's an idea.

I'll kill my brother and then myself.

That's when I met Gamute.

The way he leapt...

It looked like he would soar forever.

Gamute let me, someone who had never killed before, end my brother.

Gamute gave me, a killer,

a new life as part of the Glass Children.

After that, I killed many people.

I wanted to repay Gamute...

to stand by his side.

So, I did my utmost to do what had to be done.

Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.

I chose the worst life a person could live.

If things had been different...

what kind of adult would I have become?

Huh?

I think I was having a really weird dream just now.

I must be tired...

U... Um...

You're Yuka Ito, the ballerina, aren't you?

I... I saw your performance in London.

I love you! Please give me your autograph!

Really...? Thank you.

My autograph? Of course.

Thank you so much!

Um... um... and...

My dream is to become a beautiful ballerina just like you!

How can I make that dream come true?

Dreams don't come true.

Huh?

I dreamed of becoming the prima of a ballet company, but I never did.

Even with the performance you watched, the corps was the best I could do.

That's just how dreams are.

Why? Your dancing is so beautiful!

I made mistakes.

So many... over and over.

People face many unexpected misfortunes in life.

And when they do, they lose their composure

and end up taking the wrong path.

My life now is my punishment for making all those mistakes.

Do you... have regrets?

I have no regrets at all.

I lived my life to the fullest, after all.

You must also be ready for your dreams not to come true.
