Kemono Jihen (怪物事変)

Sh-Shiki! What are you doing here? Stop this! Stop this foolishness!

Foolishness? This is endearing,

compared to the horrific business you've been carrying on!

"Inugami-san"

compared to the horrific business you've been carrying on!

You misunderstand! I did everything in my power to support you and your mom!

Kumi-san even said she--

You keep Mom's name out of your mouth, you rat bastard!

Unless you wanna die an ugly death, shut up!

I'll help if it's too hard for you.

"Episode 8: Truth" I'll help if it's too hard for you.

"Episode 8: Truth" If you wish to kill him in one blow, you could smash the back of his neck.

I-Inugami-san, are you okay with this?

You're crazy if you approve of children killing people!

I don't approve of killing. I'm resigned to it, unlike you.

If you kill, you could be killed; if you could be killed, you kill.

That's all there is to it.

You don't mean that...

You guys are horrible! Leaving me behind like that...

Your phones have been busy this whole time, and it's dark!

I was worried what to do if a bear or something came at me, heard rustling,

shrieked out loud, and wet myself three times!

I'm completely soaked all over! I've had it!

This sucks! I hate it!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

A-All right! Our bad! Just calm down a minute. Right now...

Akira, get down!

It's still moving!

Akira!

Huh?

Venom?

Inugami-san! Akira!

Are these Kemono who live in the woods?

No, not exactly. These are...

...your siblings.

Your brothers and sisters, born during the course of our experiments,

Shiki.

Smart, aren't they?

They didn't end up being the golden webbing,

but they possess intelligence, and can speak.

They learned the words that Kumi would use,

even though they don't appear to understand their meaning.

Shiki...

--Shiki... --Shiki...

--Shiki... --Love you...

I love you...

--Shiki, I love you... --Love you, Shiki...

--Shiki... --I adore you...

--My sweet little boy... --Live...

Mommy is all right...

--I'm fine... --Don't worry...

--Love you... --Be happy...

Live...

Mom...

Mom...

I love you...

--I love you... --I love you...

I love you...

I love you...

Shiki, I adore you.

I love you.

Mom!

Oh dear, he snapped. He may be an adversary, but that was a worthy fight.

What should we do, Kabane-kun?

Shiki-kun seems to have lost his will to fight.

Should we handle this by ourselves?

Hmm? Huh? Kabane-kun, are you angry, by any chance?

Nobimaru...

Yes, what is it?

Shut up.

Shiki, it seems like the situation has changed somewhat.

So I'm going to ask you again--

Is there anything I can do?

Help me...

Shiki!

Wah!

All right.

B-Bring it on, then, you creepy Kemono!

It's not like I won't fight you, okay?!

It would help if you took a step forward when saying something so assertive.

I can't produce my gun.

Akira, would you freeze my arm for me?

Huh? Why?

Because I'm poisoned, and I can't stop the bleeding.

Gah! That is super purple! I'm sorry, I didn't even notice!

Whoa, ow, ow, ow!

Wah! Hold on, hold on! Not yet! We're still on standby over here!

No.

Take it easy. Don't attack those people.

She's friends with them?

That's fantastic news.

Who are you, young lady?

Come with me. You want to heal your arm, right?

It would spell a lot of trouble if he sees me.

He...?

Shiki!

Love you!

How can you do that?! These creatures are Shiki's brothers and sisters!

How can you kill them?!

I won't kill them if they leave me alone.

You're the only one I need to deal with.

What do you intend to do with me?

Kill you.

Then this is unavoidable.

Shigi!

Whoa...!

I'm completely surrounded! Kabane-kun, please help me, too!

Nobimaru, you'll do fine. Hang in there.

Huh? Kabane-kun, you aren't snubbing me, are you?

Shiki...

There are more of them than I thought. Hold on to that.

I don't want to lose it, like what happened at the police station.

How do you do stuff I'm so sure is impossible like that?

I can do it. Throw me.

Kabane!

Smash it up! Everything that he did!

Everything!

Shigi!

What is this place?

It's so pretty.

Dip the wound into that spring. It should neutralize the venom.

You might try drinking it, too.

Sounds too good to be true.

It's all cleared up! But how?

The water in this spring seems to have a detoxifying effect.

Kemono who were sick recovered after drinking this water,

so I thought it might work on venom, too.

I think it's about time we introduced ourselves.

There isn't time. Please, I need your help without any questions.

Don't let them kill Tademaru Akio!

There's something I absolutely have to ask him first!

I-Impossible...

Wow...

There were over a hundred of them...

Huh? Nothing else is attacking. We may have finished off all of them.

What will it be, Shiki? There's no one else to defend him anymore.

You can kill him easily.

If you want me to do it, I will.

No, I'm all right now.

I'm sorry for leaving all of this up to you.

No, I'm glad I could help.

That's just like you. I should have been the one to do all of this.

But I made you get your hands so dirty.

I'm sorry.

I promise, I'll pay you back for it.

Okay. I'll look forward to it.

Here, your clothes.

You know, when I heard Mom's words coming out of these things,

I realized something.

Even if I kill Uncle, it won't bring my family back.

Something that should have been super-obvious.

Once I did, that was it. The desire to kill Uncle

was pushed out by my desire to see Mom once again, and it broke my heart.

So right now, all I feel is empty.

Huh? So then, Shiki-kun, you aren't going to kill...

Tademaru?

Well, I...

Wait!

Aya! What are you doing here?! I told you to stay out of the woods!

Oh, be quiet. You're not getting out of this, so at least let me do as I like!

What are you doing with them?!

You have to hurry and get out of here!

--Why is he so frantic? --Hurry!

He's way more worked up than when he was about to be killed.

You're a disgrace. This is game over for you.

But before you die, tell me one thing--

Where did you hide the cocoon that I made?

So what you're saying is, until I tell you that,

my game isn't over, is it?

As long as I have the cocoon, you cannot leave me.
