Ancient times.
When the gods still had human forms.
A group arose to stop the Flesh Eaters' unchecked barbarity in its tracks.
They severed the arms that formed the Flesh Eaters lifeline before delivering the final blow.
This technique was honed over the years, but gradually fell into obscurity.
Nonetheless, it continues to be passed on to this day.
They call it "Kifuuken."

Liberating, huh?
I love it!
Amazing!
Toshihiko is skipping training these days, isn't he?
Even though he used to devote his life to the sword?
He smells like roses now!
Thought so. Wonder who it is?
Maybe it's that perfect woman he's been waiting for!
A HARD FAREWELL
Hey!
Damn it!
Over there!
He's eating it!
Noodles again tonight?
Ew! I'll pass.
He's strong!
Shit!
Damn it!
He fell for it!
A sad ending for the monster!
Let's wish our star performer luck.
Every thing has been going smoothly up until now.
I'm your new mother!
All right! The new weapon!
Looks like it's fertilizer.
Captain! Over here.
Again.
The Flesh Eater turned into a human!
Looks like another human mimic.
Rie, the phone!
Yes, sir!
Everything all right? I don't like the idea of you being out there in the thick of it.
Of course I'm fine.
I'm a Kifuuken swordsman, just like you.
Yeah, it's me. Yes, it happened again.
It's a human.
Not sure. Weren't you researching this?
Oh, I see.
Ah. Including that one, too?
All right. I'll look into it.
All right. Got it.
Thank you so much! I was just thinking about how much I wanted one of these!
You're so out of date!
I can't believe you don't have a cell phone in this day and age.
I guess you're right.
Not having one is a real hassle.
Let's get a bite to eat.
I found a great café.
Really? I'd love to go there!
You know, I'd feel far more at ease if you and my brother were together.
It's like I'm walking on air!
I bet a beautiful girl like you has the men lining up.
They hate me once they get to know me.
I can't believe that. I can only see good things about you.
That's because I'm only showing you my good side.
Because I still want you to like me.
I'd gladly let you kill me, Toshihiko.
Don't say stuff like that!
It's true!
Let's spend our lives together.
You're already living inside me.
Well, thanks anyway. Let's do it again sometime!
Yuka! Hey!
Next!
O... Of course, sir!
I y-yield! P-Please! I y-yield!
What are you doing? You're going too far!
You're scaring him!
Everybody knows that you're doing nothing but fretting over your next text message these days!
It's fine. I know what I'm doing.
Kazuma, may I have a practice match with you?
Okay!
You're up early.
I yield.
Release the tension in your shoulders, Toshihiko.
You're too focused on doing the right thing.
What is the most important thing to you?
The truth does not lie in your answer.
Let go! I'm doing what I want!
You're nothing to me now!
I'm the only one who can love you!
Damn it!
It's so hot!
You're writing something, aren't you?
What do you think I'm writing?
"I love you."
Wrong. Wrong.
"I truly love you."
No, no.
I give up. I have no idea.
[I am a Flesh Eater]
I'll tell you some day.
What? What's the answer?
You'll understand. Sooner or later, you'll understand.
I'm not going to tell you!
Can you meet my father? I want to properly introduce you.
Really?
What should I wear?
Brother! Father is dead!
It was a Flesh Eater. There's no mistake!
How sad...
This is a challenge!
By killing our precious father, they have declared war on the Kifuuken!
If that's the case, we can...
Kazuma! Calm down!
Calm down?
If you, the master, hadn't been out fooling around with women!
Stop it! This isn't the place to be arguing!
Right now... Right...
Hoozuki.
Get me a list of everybody identified as or suspected of being a Flesh Eater.
I will take full responsibility.
You have my deepest condolences.
[Kamitsuki Yuka]
Kamitsuki Yuka...
Her daughter, hmm? I thought I was seeing a ghost.
Thank you so much for coming.
Kazuma, there's something that's bothering me.
You're a friend of Toshihiko's, aren't you?
We've set up a dinner for you, so please...
Thanks, but I'll pass.
Please don't be so formal! Toshihiko wants you to stay as well.
I think the others want to meet you as well.
Now, now. Come! This way!
This is a friend of Toshihiko's!
Now, now.
This list has the names of everyone we've identified as a Flesh Eater.
However, those names are based on rumours and unconfirmed information.
Excellent. Let's hunt them down.
I don't care if we kill them to the last man.
Toshihiko, your collar is crooked.
Thanks.
I never knew that my brother had a girlfriend.
Oh, thank you.
I still haven't properly introduced myself.
My name is Kamitsuki.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
Toshihiko tells me he was an amazing father.
You've been dating a while now, haven't you?
Just recently.
You're so beautiful! I was so surprised.
Hardly.
Where did you two meet?
Uhh. Well, by coincidence...
Amazing! Where?
I'm a diving instructor at a school just past Onigasaki.
Yeah, that area's been identified as being chock-full of Flesh Eaters.
To tell you the truth, I used to be Toshihiko's fiancé.
Of course, this was back when we were very little.
But I'm no match for such a beauty!
That's not true!
Toshihiko is heading in the same direction with his training.
Our sword technique is called the Kifuuken. Did you know that?
I'd heard that you practised some kind of martial art, but I didn't know the specifics.
We've been hunting demons for generations.
You know what a Flesh Eater is, correct?
Kazuma!
How does it feel to come to a place like this?
Flesh... Eaters...
We train night and day to fight and kill them.
We will not tolerate those who prey on humans.
Especially in this case, where the victim was our previous master.
This isn't simply between killer and victim.
Care to venture an opinion on who might have done this?
No, I don't...
Well, drink up.
Understand already! Don't follow your mother's path and die!
Is Yuka a Flesh Eater?
That rose-scented cream you use...
It's the same scent that we smelled at the murder scene.
You killed our father! Yet you have the gall to come to his funeral?
You're wrong!
You came to laugh at us, didn't you?
You're wrong! Stop it, Kazuma!
You killed him, didn't you?
You Flesh Eater!
I didn't do it...
You seduced my brother, then went after our master!
I didn't do it!
Repent!
Stop!
I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
It's settled!
What are you doing? She's a Flesh Eater!
She didn't do it! She said she didn't do it!
How can we trust her?
She's a Flesh Eater!
Don't move!
Come any closer and I'll... kill you!
Have you lost your mind?
We've got a intruder!
It's a Flesh Eater!
I'm sorry.
Damn it!
The intruder has escaped!
Shit!
Ame no shizuka wo kamu noga suki
I like to bite on the drops of rain
Amaku wa nai iya mushiro nigai
They're not sweet, in fact they're bitter
Kaori ga shita wo uragitte suki
I like how the smell betrays my tongue
Dakara ibitsuna kimi ga suki
That's why I like the misshapen you
Nante itazura na teido no kimi wa
You who does things that can only be seen as petty tricks
Konna watashi wo kakimidashite
You stir me up
Daitai no ryoubute ga kimi wo medatteru
The two shady hands make you stand out
Nante itazurano meido no kimi wa
The you whose petty tricks rumble
Konna hibi ja maigo ni natte shimau
With days like these, I become lost
Asamo hirumo yorumo itsudemo sarawareteku
Mornings, afternoons, nights, all the time, I get taken away
