Elfen Lied (エルフェンリート)

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom

Et lingua eius loquetur indicium

And his tongue shall speak judgment

Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation

Quoniam cum probatus fuerit accipient coronam vitae

For when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life

Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison

Lord, fire divine, have mercy

O quam sancta, quam serena

Oh how holy, how serene

Quam benigma, quam amoena

How benign, how pleasant

O castitatis lilium

Oh lily of purity

Miss Nyu... Um...

Miss Nyu?

Don't hurt Mayu!

Are you still going to oppose me?

You didn't even stand a chance against me.

Miss Nana!

Ouch!

Oh?!

Sorry.

Let me see.

It's no big deal.

No, you should put a bandage on it.

Geez, you can't even cut the scallions decently.

I'm embarrased.

Hold on a second, okay?

This is why I said I couldn't do it.

What was that?

Is that the best you can do?

Do you really intend to kill me when that's the best you've got?

Mayu, get out of here!

I can do it.

No!

Infant

Oh?

Hey, Kohta!

Nyu's not here!

What?!

Don't do this...

Things like this...

That was close.

What're you doing?

Miss Nyu, you just purposely...

We're not done fighting.

I know.

Miss Nyu! Stop it now!

Stop it now!

Miss Nyu?!

What's going on?

Nyu!

What're you doing in a place like this?

No!

Kohta...

Your fever hasn't gone down yet.

Kohta! I like you! I like you.

Kohta! Kohta!

Um, before it's too late, you should...

'cause they'll be startled.

That's not Miss Lucy any more.

What?

All we have is rice porridge, but...

Help yourself. You haven't eaten for a long time, have you?

Nyu!

Then, just a little.

She's your friend?

Yes.

Miss Nana is my friend and she doesn't have a place to go back to just like me.

Leaving that aside, why did she suddenly attack Nyu earlier?

Well, Miss Nana was hungry and irritated, so...

Once she eats, she's a good girl.

Hey...

We were just making dinner, so...

Well, one more person wouldn't...

I'm...

Another bowl, please.

Nyu...

She must've been really hungry.

Looks like it.

Another bowl, please!

I'm sorry, but we don't have any more.

Um... Miss Nana has no place to live right now.

Would you please let her stay overnight tonight?

No place to live?

A horned human doesn't have a place to go back to anyway.

What shall we do?

I do have many things that I'd like to ask her.

Then why don't you stay with us for a while?

No!

Miss Nana.

You all treated me as a bad person!

What're you saying?! You're the one who suddenly attacked Nyu!

That's because...

Nyu!

Are you giving it to me?

Nyu!

Nyu, you're...

Mayu was saying that Nana got angry because she was hungry, so...

But, Nyu, you have to eat.

Nyu?

I haven't touched my food yet, so you can have it if you like.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry.

Nyu?

I was wrong for attacking you suddenly.

I'm sorry.

You'll pay for your crime of disobeying me with that debt of gratitude.

Are you gonna stay here even after you graduate?

Yeah, I can continue my research to the utmost if I stay here.

I want you to keep quiet about this to others, but...

Your father's research institute?

Yeah.

They've been working on some top-secret research for a government project.

It seems highly classified so they can use only people who can be trusted.

Top-secret and classified...

I don't wanna have anything to do with something suspicious like that.

We want your help.

Sorry, but ask someone else, Kakuzawa.

Hey, Kurama, don't you wanna see the beginning of a new human race?

This is the police! We've surrounded the area!

Don't move!

Take her under protection.

It's all right. You don't have to be afraid.

Is the scary person still inside?

We're going in!

There's no one here!

What? There shouldn't be another escape route.

Where was the scary person at?

Shoot! Shoot!

Four years ago, girls with protrusions on their temporal area were born

around the same time in the area surrounding Kanagawa Prefecture.

It gathered a lot of attention as a rare disease, but actually it wasn't such a simple matter.

I don't wanna do it any more.

Do it.

270 joules cleared.

We'll go with 300 joules next.

No...

No...

I'm scared!

I'm scared! I don't wanna do it any more! Please stop!

I'm scared!

So 270 joules is the limit.

There hasn't been any change in the past month.

Her power's supposed to get stronger as her body grows, but...

The individuals differ significantly from one another,

so I guess there's still more room for researching vectors.

What's the matter, Kurama?

You look like you're in a bad mood.

I'm regretting being taken in by your words.

We're researching using samples that you can find only here.

What we're doing is sure to be appreciated by future generations.

Trust me, Kurama.

Why did they occur around the same time in the same area?

I think this issue is more important.

It's not necessary to do something inhumane like this.

Do you think they're humans?

What?

Diclonius show their true colors around when they turn three.

Vectors appear and they murder repeatedly.

The examples until now also show

that Diclonius kill even their own parents without hesitation.

But without exception, the only targets they use their vectors on are humans.

What does this mean?

It means that Diclonius are an enemy of us, mankind.

I'm going home now.

Say hello to your wife, Mr. Newlywed.

Chief Kakuzawa...

What's the matter?

It's time for #3's meal, but something is wrong.

There was no scheduled communication made and the room was left unlocked.

Take good aim!

The bullets are being deflected!

I'll do the same to you too.

Close the main hatch!

The guards are to be fully armed and to keep a strict watch on the #3 floor!

Ohmori, check the other floors!

Yes!
