Phantom of the Kill: Zero kara no Hangyaku

When hope disappears, you have to fight to get it back.

Again? I can hear her voice...again.

Who are you?

When hope disappears, you have to fight to get it back.

I'll save this world... There's hope.

Without any indication, the entire world went under on that day.

That day, two hundred years ago. Despite that, here we are.

Fighting.

Phantom of the Kill: Zero's Rebellion

Phantom of the Kill: Zero's Rebellion

Long ago, the gods granted us sacred treasures, the Ancient Arms.

The enormous power of these weapons has allowed us to survive against the beasts.

The Ragnarok Institute's establishment was made possible by the sacrifices

of our predecessors, and it functions as the last hope for humanity.

Valyn, can you really call this institute a mistake?

No. But even considering how strong these weapons are...

...the humans who wield them have their limits. I've told you this before.

The source of the beasts' power. I'm going to transfer it to humans...

...allowing them a fighting chance.

Do you have any idea what you're saying?

Of course I do.

Polluting the bodies given to us by the gods, with the blood of foul beasts.

That would be beyond blasphemy.

Time for a reality check.

We've lost half our people this year.

We can't even function as an army anymore.

At this point I shouldn't have to try to convince you anymore!

Look at this.

Test subject Zero, the first human with beast powers...

...and the last hope we have.

Valyn, you look stiff.

Well yes, considering how far we've come. It's taken so long, too long.

The real fight starts now, Zero.

I know.

Humanity...the end is near. However, the fire of life must never go out.

The gods shall endow this world with a new light.

With our tree of hope, Yggdrasil. Now let us pray, and leave it all to the gods.

Welcome home, Big Brother! Go ahead, dig in.

Looks good.

See, if you put a little work into our rations, you'd hardly recognize them.

Amane, you sure you're not being a nuisance to these lab guys?

Yes.

I just deliver stuff and clean. It cheers them up, so they're all nice to me.

Nice.

Today I became friends with Valyn's assistant, Yakumo.

She said she'd show me the central plant next time.

Just don't get in anyone's way, alright?

I know, you don't have to tell me!

How about you? Are the experiments going okay?

Yeah... The guys from the top finally gave us the approval today.

That's great!

I wish I could find something I could do to help everyone...

Something that only I can do...

I keep telling you, stop thinking like that.

If it hadn't been for all of them, we would've died that time.

This place, this home, it's a second chance at life for us.

More than anything, Amane...

You're alive and well. What more could I ask for, really?

Heart rate and temperatures are rising suddenly! Mana pressures are also abnormally high!

Their bodies are rejecting it?!

Grab the tranquilizer!

We've already administered it, but their Vibium isn't reacting!

An abnormality in their cells. Every cell in their bodies is transforming!

W-Why?

Big Brother...

Stop it already!

Are you okay?

Who...

...are you?

Humans have sinned yet again.

Now more than ever, our only hope is to beg the gods for mercy.

We don't exactly know the cause...

...but he is showing signs of short-term memory loss.

It must be because of a sudden burden placed on his brain.

His symptoms are mild for now, so all we can do is wait and see what happens.

However, if his symptoms worsen, it will be dangerous...

I know.

Anyway, let him get some rest.
