Yuka!
Yuka! Yuka!
Thank you for the food.
Yuka! Yuka!
Thank you for the food.
Yuka!
I'll never let you go again.
That man is useless.
Running off with that weak man didn't do you any good, did it?
People's Misery Tastes Like Secrecy

Still having regrets?
How was it, Toshi-chan?
How did it turn out abandoning your Kifuuken inheritance and running off with a Flesh Eater woman?
Was it going well?
Your part in my story is already done with.
Characters lacking charm can just play offstage.
It just means that people are people and beasts are beasts.
Gakuto was a good man.
She would have been happier with a reliable man of the same species, rather than a coward like you.
Yuka!
No, no, no!
Yuka is wasted on you.
After all, she's a precious pureblood.
I need her for my research.
Like dissecting Flesh Eaters and making medicine.
And creating clones to make more medicine.
The old couple who were helping you turned into Flesh Eaters, didn't they?
That's because of the medicine I gave them.
This medicine.
And the men of the Kifuuken, drinking the medicine...
I wonder if they'll turn out like that.
Mr. Ooba? What are you--
My medicine is very popular!
The incident is thought to be related to the recent string of cannibalism incidents that have been continuing for...
Everyone loves it!
Do your best, Dai-chan!
They all have things they want to forget.
Everybody wants violence!
That's their true nature.
Yuka!
Just what are--
Oh? Such pretty hands!
A woman's hand?
The girl said that you wanted to go to Ookyu.
What's so funny?
Because... Ookyu is...
my company.
The Ooba Kyuutarou Corporation.
O.Q!
I kept my association with the Kifuuken a secret.
When I spread rumors that we'd turn them into humans, the Flesh Eaters flocked to us.
And when they came, we immediately confined them!
Dismembered them!
Cut off their arms!
And took the claws!
Since they aren't human, tearing them apart is no crime.
There's no way a Flesh Eater could become one... A human.
How could they change so easily?
Well, sever their claws, and they're no different from humans in one respect... or maybe less than human...?
Cut off their claws and they die on the spot.
The claws, they're the core of the Flesh Eater!
Ooba!
You're so weak, initiate!
I've been using Kemonozume secrets for twenty five years.
Unlike Flesh Eaters who frenzy when transformed, I control this power perfectly.
It's something nobody could do! Not Jyuuzou or Jin-chan!
What's this?
I've also been using the medicine.
This is the best!
You can't do anything with human strength alone.
Did he die?
Hello, hello! This is Ooba.
Okay. I understand. Roger. I'll return right away.

You're in bad shape.
Going up against Papa is dangerous.
You were watching?
I followed you and I thought I'd... try to stop Papa, but...
Ooba's distributing some screwed up medicine.
He's planning on using Yuka for it.
I've got to do something.
It's impossible.
Even I'm no match for Papa.
Yuka... No, I have to stop Ooba.
I'm an Ooba, too.
This "Cannibalism Syndrome" is...
Thank you for the food.
a kind of infectious disease.
Those who contract it lose all self awareness and...
Thank you for the food.
attempt to eat people.
An official announcement...
What are you talking about?
It means that your last failure has pushed the plans forward.
So, Kazuma. Have you given any thought to what we discussed earlier?
That subject... That's...
It'll be fine.
We'll recruit more talented personnel from other places.
The Kifuuken are always understaffed.
We'll use plenty of medicine to strengthen them and build a stronger team.
I'll make my son president so you don't have to worry about the administrative matters.
The Kifuuken aren't just a hit squad!
We're martial artist who have strengthened our hearts as well as our skills!
We have our traditions and our pride!
It's also our job to protect those traditions!
You should understand as you've been with the Kifuuken for two generations!
Those who lead the Kifuuken must be martial artists!
Then you're no different from Jyuuzou and Toshihiko, who you thought were standing in the way.
I control ninety percent of Momota Special Security's stock.
I can replace you.
What are you...?
You said you were just lending us capital until the government approved funding.
That's right! I lent you capital.
I extended myself and lent you a lot.
And as promised, I arranged for you to receive government funding.
Are you saying you can repay that?
You! You were planning...
to take over the Kifuuken from the start!
It's common sense that an employee should do what the owner tells him to.
I see.
We will have nothing more to do with you!
I'll repay the money, no matter how many decades it takes!
Are you sure? That's going to be difficult.
We will protect our traditions and honor.
I have no regrets!
Then I will also do as I please.
Damn it!
Master! Please!
Please teach me a secret technique!
I'll never defeat... Ooba like this...
Master! Master!
Master!
The disease has not been seen much recently but...
Thank you for the food.
has occurred in the past as well as in previous months.
During its investigations, the government did not publicise the disease due to its unique characteristics but...
a special committee to counter Cannibalism Disease has...
Dai-chan, what's the matter?
Nooooo! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
What are you doing?
Oh. Kazuma.
We've been incorporated into Mr. Ooba's new company.
What was that?
Truthfully, Ooba informed us of the new organization a while ago.
He said that your new company wasn't doing well.
And financially troubled.
And that his company would receive the government funding.
All of the current members have migrated to Mr. Ooba's company.
And carry on Kifuuken activities there.
He asked us to keep quiet since he wanted to convince you himself.
Are you going to quit?
Even senior members like yourselves are abandoning our traditions and pride?
Despite your talk of tradition, Jyuuzou passed away. Toshihiko who is involved with that, his whereabouts is unknown.
And many of our long-standing members have fallen in the past battles.
You're the only surviving executive, Kazuma.
And you were the one who moved forward with reform, and criticized tradition.
Honestly, Jyuuzou may have been old-fashioned and stubborn, but we admired his unyielding nature.
Sorry to say, but currently you are not fit to manage the Kifuuken.
If you want to leave, then leave!
I'll carry on the Kifuuken in my own way!
Kazuma.
Are you leaving too?
There's no helping it.
I'm sorry we can't help you.
We're the only remaining members.
I didn't think that the Kifuuken would collapse this easily.
Well, I'm sure it couldn't be helped.
It was destined to happen sooner or later.
An organization as old as this one is a relic.
It would be stranger for it to continue unchanged in this bustling twenty first century.
Ooba!
Sadly without funding and manpower, even collecting information will be difficult.
Determination alone won't rally people to follow you!
Kazuma!
You have to show your strength.
Overwhelming strength.
Lots of money.
I know! Why don't you try the Kemonozume?
If you demonstrate your strength, the members that left might return.
Kazuma.
And carry on as before.
I'm not... listening to you any more...
I'm not talking to you.
You're already half-dead.
Rie... If that's you...
Me?
But... In the past, everybody who used the Kemonozume...
It's not like it was twenty five years ago.
You can use the Kemonozume with minimal risk.
What are you talking about?
Call it progress.
Rie!
I've spent twenty five years perfecting it.
Do you know something...
It'll be safe if you do it this way. You won't be consumed!
about the Kemonozume?
Could I protect the Kifuuken if I did it?
Of course!
As long as you want to do it.
If I do it...
Shut up!
I have facilities in my company where it can be done safely.
Cut the crap!
If you want to, please contact me.
Stop it already!
Shit!
Father.
What should I do?
Father said to believe in my own feelings.
Was it always impossible?
Toshihiko.
It's me.
Father!
It's dangerous to be blind, but truth isn't everything.
What can you believe in and live with?
Papa is strong and really scary.
He can use the Kemonozume.
You know about the Kemonozume?
Of course.
I have it myself, Jin initiated me.
Jin?
You mean Kakinoki Jin?
Yeah. That's right.
Rie's father is still alive?
The legendary former director of the Kifuuken?
Of course.
But thanks to these claws, I was unable to become a shot putter.
Papa told me not to do anything that would stand out.
I wanted to do it... To shot put.
Where's Jin now?
He's imprisoned in Papa's building.
Is that so?
If Kakinoki Jin is alive, then maybe he'll fight with us.
If so, he would be a powerful ally.
Even if Ooba's strong, with several initiates attacking him at once...
Let's go! To the Ooba building.
To meet Kakinoki Jin.
Us? Am I included?
I'm an Ooba too, you know.
It's not true...
That's not...
Kazuma!
Rie.
Rie. What will I do?
My body...
It's okay.
My body is...
It's okay.
This is some kind of mistake.
It's like... I'm...
Rie. Please stay with me.
It's okay.
Don't run away.
I won't run away, no matter what.
I won't go anywhere.
There is a guest in the lobby.
It's because you ate octopus.
Rie.
You can't eat it ever again.
Will I cease to be human?
You're human.
Do you know something about my body?
You'll return to normal immediately.
It's okay. I'll remain with you.
Rie. Rie.
Welcome!
Miss Claw User.
Rie?

I like how the smell betrays my tongue

You who does things that can only be seen as petty tricks
Konna watashi wo kakimidashite
You stir me up

The two shady hands make you stand out

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
