What's wrong, Miyuki?

Father! It's snowing!

Why don't you come inside? It's cold.

No! I want to watch.

She's just like you.

We can't have my treasure freeze.

Snow, huh?

This is probably the last time it'll snow this year.

I beg you!

Tell me, Unmo!

Am I...

Am I human?! Or a Kabane?!

Kabane..

Walking corpses..

Raised from the dead..

Hinomoto is under threat from the Kabane..

The Kabane have taken control of almost the entire country..

Half a year after the fall of Kongokaku....

Hinomoto split into several regions

after losing the Amatori Shogunate,

each forced to fight against the Kabane..

The Iron Fortress continued its journey

and went to Unato in Hokuriku

to cross the Hida Mountains..

Unato had been overrun by Kabane

five years earlier and had become impassable..

The Hokuriku Allied Forces are trying to recapture Unato,

and Unato is now a battlefield..

Kabane! We're going to attack them here!

People of Unato, advance! We'll fix the tracks later!

Take off the safety.

Fire!

I can't even make dinner!

They collected money from your household as well, right?

Did you say goodbye?

I'm ready for it.

-There's a Kabane here, too?! -Hurry!

Come on.

They call themselves the Allied Forces,

but they're understaffed at the rear.

"Defend, and one has a surplus."

My brother said the same thing.

Everyone, please support the front line.

Stop injecting the water.

-Front, all right! -Front, all right.

We're going to join the Allied Forces!

The air is stale.

There's so many of them.

It's about…

one and a half districts to the front line.

That's 30 seconds.

Go practice some more in hell.

Damn! What's wrong with them?

-Thirty-eight seconds? -You're from the Iron Fortress.

You guys are supposed to handle the Kabane in the rear.

We took care of it already.

Don't tell me what to do until you've finished your own job.

Get out of my way.

She's good.

What if she's...

That's right.

I'm a Kabaneri.

Something between a human and a Kabane.

Not again.

What's going on?

What's this?

Oh, no!

Mumei!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Ikoma!

Don't just stand there!

We're going to beat them.

Yeah.

Give me your hand!

Mumei! Now!

The Kabane are gone!

We won!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Thanks.

She's not feeling well either.

I'm not the only one.

Hey, what are you doing? Going back to where you came from?

What?

I know about you. You're a Kabaneri, too, right?

And you're not even as cute or strong as the other one.

Must be rough.

Don't get so full of yourself just because you killed a few of your friends.

There's lots of Kabane here.

No matter how many you kill, it still won't be enough.

If you do anything funny, we'll throw you in prison.

Advance the protective barrier!

All right!

Did the Iron Fortress join them as planned?

Yes.

We have succeeded in recapturing everything until Block Five.

It won't be much longer until we can capture Unato Castle.

Everything's going smoothly.

Unato, the cursed land.

We're going to destroy that castle and burn everything.

We'd need to disassemble it for repairs soon.

We overworked it.

We'll need some more help.

What's wrong, Ikoma?

There's something wrong with the Kabane here.

What do you mean?

Look.

Their footsteps are all heading in a straight line.

It's like they're all heading to the same place.

Those Kabane that Mumei and I killed just now,

it's like they were trying

to work together to kill people instead of wanting to drink blood.

In other words, they're being controlled.

That's what I mean.

Is that your Kabane research notebook?

I took these notes together with Takumi.

I still keep it up.

Do you have a headache?

Yeah.

Ever since I came here.

Welcome home!

I made you some soup.

Thanks.

I'm back.

Lady Ayame.

Welcome home, Kurusu.

I'm so glad you're here.

I heard you're on your way home.

Yes.

We're going to Aragane Station.

We're going to bring back some seedlings to grow rice.

Everyone misses the town where they were born.

Mumei!

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

I'm fine, Kajika!

Put some medicine on it.

Sayo! You're talking a lot now!

Mumei. How is the Steam Cartridge Gun?

It handles well,

but the power drops and it's hard to load. I'm the only one who can use it.

You've let me down.

No, she didn't.

Let's work hard and finish making that thing tonight, okay?

That's right.

Pull the thread out from the ring at the end.

I did it!

You did it!

It's beautiful.

You really surprised me

when you said you wanted to give him a present.

You must have been happy when you received that.

Well…

I thought his hands might feel empty, too.

What did he say when he gave that to you?

"My sister, Hatsune,

and Takumi, that chubby guy, will protect you.

So, hold on to it.

I'll turn you back into a human someday."

No way!

Ikoma promised you that?

Isn't that just like asking you to marry him?

No! It's not like that!

He's an idiot! That's why he would promise the same thing to anyone.

That's not true!

Good job, Ikoma!

No! I said it's not like that!

I got it.

It's not like that, right? Fix it, okay?

You're going to give it to him tomorrow.

It's really not like that.

I'm sure of it.

There are Kabane footsteps coming from Block Six in the rear, too.

There must be a shortcut somewhere.

Then we have to tell everyone right now.

Let's go, Sukari.

Mumei?

What's wrong?

You can do it!

You know, Ikoma

I want to give you something.

What is it?

Well, not here.

Over there, where it's more quiet.

Ayame! I'm coming!

Can it wait until later? This isn't the time for it!

Ikoma! I'll be done soon!

I'll listen to you later!

Excuse me.

Why's he scowling like that?

Let's come back later, Mumei.

I don't want to.

I give up.

No way!

Sister! Come here now!

Wait!

We are now in the final stage.

Now that we have recaptured Block Five,

we're now able to bring the self-propelled mortar Narukami within range.

Now we're going to be able to round up

the whole Kabane rat's nest that's taken over the castle.

If Narukami comes, the battle will be ours.

I heard it killed 3,000 Kabane in Musashi.

The Chubu route will be opened soon.

Once that happens, we're out of here!

I can see my family again soon!

Really?

We plan to have the Narukami arrive

four days from now and begin executing the plan.

The Kuroji Army and Mogari's unit…

will advance to Block Three together

and bombard Unato Castle.

The Iron Fortress will guard the people repairing the tracks at the front line.

The people of Unato will lay down reinforcement lines.

Bring 200 more people.

Understand, Unmo?

But many of our people were injured the other day.

The people repairing the tracks have to go out in front of the Hayajiro.

-We must consider the dangers... -What are you talking about?!

Once the snow melts, we're not the only ones who'll be able to move around easier.

They might take back the territory we've captured!

You shall cooperate.

It's so you can protect your hometown.

What are we going to do if they attack from the territory we've taken?

Over here!

Hurry up!

How did it break?

He stepped on it!

It's your fault for leaving it here!

What?!

-Cut it out! -Don't make her cry!

Sorry!

This is bad.

-Everyone's stressed. -You're so loud!

-You're the one who's loud! -Be nice to each other!

Hinomoto is in trouble right now.

We could get separated from each other at any time.

Just as I said a moment ago

the footsteps of the Kabane are headed towards the Allied Forces' front line base.

There are footsteps leading from Block Six in the rear, too.

Maybe the Kabane are being summoned

from a path we don't know about.

We should station some soldiers in the rear as well.

Please let me go investigate!

So...

What are you talking about?

Those stupid Kabane could never do something like that.

If there really is someone summoning them

then the natural conclusion would be that you're the one doing it.

Sir Kuroji!

That's why I told you!

There's something wrong with the Kabane here in Unato!

They're here to kill us!

There's someone commanding them!

Just let me go investigate!

What's wrong, Ikoma?

-Hey... -What's wrong with him?

I heard he got bitten by a Kabane at Aragane Station.

-You bastard! -You're the one who's here to kill us!

Stop!

Ikoma!

What's wrong with him?

Do you have a headache again? You should rest.

I can't rest now! We have to get out of here as soon as we can!

Don't be reckless!

He's not fit to participate in a war council.

I apologize, Kuroji.

He's just overwhelmed with all the fighting.

Why are you apologizing?!

Quiet, Ikoma!

We'll talk to him ourselves and make him listen.

Ikoma, just now...

What are you doing?

I'm going to go investigate. I'm leaving now.

Leaving? Where?

The hole where the Kabane appear.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy, no matter what I say.

I'm going to go investigate myself, and show them proof.

No! I'm not letting you go!

What did you say?

You won't be able to do anything alone.

You're just going to get surrounded by the Kabane and die.

You're an idiot, so just sit still.

You're just...

So, you don't believe me either?

Are you siding with the Allied Forces, just like Lady Ayame?

Now that I think about it, you sided with the Karikatashu when they came.

Stop! I didn't want everyone in the Iron Fortress and Brother to become enemies.

Why are you bringing that up now?

Even if no one believes me

the truth is that a big threat is approaching.

It'll be too late once everyone gets killed. I have to stop it!

But that doesn't make it okay for you to go die alone!

I don't care whether I die!

Ikoma? Ikoma!

What's wrong, Ikoma?

There he is!

Don't move!

Stop!

Go ahead. Bite me.

You're not going to become human again with me anymore, right?

Forget about our promise.

You're going to go die alone somewhere, right?

I've had enough.

Mumei.

You bastard!

I got him!

Stop! I'm...

Are you okay?

Stay back. Ikoma! What are you?

Kurusu! I'm

-I'll shoot if you get in the way! -Wait!

I have an idea. Put me...

Put me in solitary confinement!

What?

The rules are if I show no symptoms after three days, it'll prove I'm not dangerous!

I won't run away or hide!

Give me some time!

All right.

Hold this Kabaneri in the refinery.

If you ever feel like you're in danger, you can shoot him.

How does that sound?

I'm fine with that.

Take him away.

Yes, sir.

Are you sure about this?

This is better than having him causing disturbances.

Kill him if he gets in the way.

Stop! I'm not going to resist!

Mumei!

I'll come back before the Narukami Campaign!

Wait for me!

Got it?

Mumei!

Mumei!

Men!.

Kote!.

Was that too shallow?

Yes. You're not applying yourself.

Is it about Ikoma?

Yes.

It's obvious he wasn't acting normal.

Maybe there's something that no one else can see except for him.

Maybe I could have done more.

I don't know what Ikoma's thinking.

I haven't got the slightest idea... of what he sees.

But…

there's never been a situation where he missed

seeing who the real enemy was.

Ikoma was sure that there's someone leading them.

He can see the enemy's shape.

Then that's who…

our enemy is, too.

That's right.

I'm going to believe him, too.

What did you say? An underground passageway?

Yes. It leads from Unato Castle's tower.

It was built to help the villagers escape

from the Kabane under Sir Kageyuki's orders.

Kageyuki.

Do you mean Komai Kageyuki?

The lord of the castle, right?

That's right.

He cared deeply for Unato, and led the army himself.

He was a good man.

That underground passageway is connected with the

tunnel for the tram used during the mining era.

The Kabane in Block Six probably came from there.

In other words, Ikoma's predictions were right.

Please let us go investigate!

Now is our only chance, before the Narukami Campaign begins!

I'll lead you.

But the road is dangerous. Are you sure?

Yes. There's something I want to verify as well.

Can you take care of fixing the tracks?

I understand.

Everyone…

a big battle is approaching soon.

Let's all cross through Unato together.

And return to Aragane Station

where we'll plow the fields and plant our seedlings.

We're almost there.

I'm going, too.

Thanks for the help.

Mumei. Are you sure?

Are you sure you don't want to wait for Ikoma?

I want to move my body right now.

I'd feel restless if I just stood still.

The mining road…

it's been plugged up already!

How about over there?

They hid it!

That's crazy!

The Kabane can do something like that?

What's that?

A metal membrane.

From the Kabane.

Narukami has arrived on the Unato main line.

Approaching No. 2. Narukami. Approaching No. 2.

Advance! Take only the combat equipment! Leave the food behind!

What? We're leaving already?

I thought it was tomorrow.

Hurry! The Kabane aren't going to wait!

I wanted to have your duck stew one last time before I go.

You'll be back, right? You can have some anytime.

After passing through Iraka Tunnel,

we will begin the bombardment from Block Three.

I wish you luck.

Yes, sir!

What's the meaning of this?!

-The Narukami Campaign was scheduled for... -Be grateful for the warm winter.

We were able to move the Narukami without clearing the snow. But...

The Iron Fortress will help fix the tracks at the front line, as planned.

Sir Kuroji!

Some people haven't returned yet. Shall we wait?

We can't throw the people out in front of the Kabane.

Get ready quickly.

What about Ikoma?

Let's ask Sukari. Send him a message.

The potato stems aren't even dry and we're making a sortie?

Mumei...

They're starting the campaign?

What's going on?

What are you doing? Time to attack.

Were you planning to consult the Kabane about it?

Hey, idiots!

What did you say?!

Get away!

The Kabane are...

You bastards!

What?

Screw you!

Mumei! Come here! Hurry!

Ikoma said someone's leading them, right?

I'm going to go defeat whoever it is!

Mumei!

What's going on?

There's Kabane over here, too?!

The bell. Are the Kabane appearing?

The campaign started, too.

What's going on?!

A trap.

The K-Kabanes' voices...

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Lady Ayame, we have entered Block Two.

We'll stay here on defense.

The gradient is 30/1000 uphill.

I'm going to use the suction brake.

Thank you.

Unato Castle is within firing range.

Release the safety device.

Prepare to fire. Turn 110 degrees.

Hey!

Let me out!

Can't you hear me?!

I was right.

Be quiet!

That Kabaneri girl who went into the mining tunnel

was working together with the enemy!

You mean Mumei? She went into the mining tunnel?

Stop talking like a human!

You're the ones who summoned the Kabane!

I told you many times already.

Danger is approaching.

But you…

started battling and…

you put Mumei in even more danger!

You bastard!

Fire!

The membrane is harder than expected.

Adjust the aim and fire again.

Prepare to load!

There's still Kabane in the back. Ikoma!

That's weird..

I thought I decided

I'd uncover the secret behind this place alone, without Ikoma..

But I'm scared..

I'm lonely..

I miss you, Ikoma..

It's a Kabane! There's Kabane even over here!

Ready to fire.

Five seconds to discharge!

What's that?

Is that blood?

What's going on?

What's wrong?!

What are we going to do?

Fire!

Lady Ayame! The Narukami.

Is it silent?

The Kuroji Army's Hayajiro is surrounded by Kabane!

It can't be...

Impossible! We can't lose to those Kabane!

You're kidding me!

I mobilized so many men!

This can't happen!

Damn! What are you doing?

Don't get in my way!

Dear.

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to turn you human again.

Just like your mother wanted…

I'm going to fill your belly with rice!

Ikoma!

Ikoma!

Mumei?

I'm right here.

You're hurt.

Mumei... I...

It's okay. You don't have to say anything.

I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten our promise.

I know. You don't have to say anything.

Stay by my side forever.

Don't leave me.

Say it again.

Don't leave.

Don't leave me…

ever...

You can do it!

Once we finish the repairs...

We missed them!

Are you okay, everyone?

We're almost there!

Rokkon shojo!

Ikoma's cell was empty.

Sukari and the others are headed for the mining tunnel.

He told us to meet them at the castle tower.

Understood. But what about Ikoma?

He's headed for the castle tower, too.

He's going straight after their leader.

We should advance, too.

You're right.

Hurry!

What about the Hayajiro? It's waiting!

Mogari!

Where are you going?

Don't get in my way!

The Narukami Campaign failed!

We're retreating!

Kote!

What?

You must not withdraw.

A warrior who is too afraid to protect his people is no different from a Kabane!

What was that light?

My headache is gone, too.

Why?

The same thing happened when I saved you at Kongokaku.

I don't feel anxious now. Or in pain.

Ikoma! There you are!

Sukari!

There you are.

Are you two okay?

Yeah!

Then I'm glad I didn't come here for nothing.

You forgot this.

Now departing. Front, all right!

Front, all right!

We shall continue to Unato Castle!

Assist them! I can't let her mistake our morality for cowardice!

That girl...

Head straight next!

Standby and ready!

Good job, Tanzaemon!

We did it!

Nice!

Is this the castle tower?

Hey. What's that?

A blue cocoon.

A child?

Let me see.

I'm sure about it.

Shojin!

Did you get shot?

The Kabane used a gun?

Let's go back to the passage!

It's Sir Kageyuki, after all.

He's beyond there.

Komai... Kageyuki?

But he...

He is not dead.

He…

strangled himself and came back to life.

He's the same as Ikoma.

You mean he's a Kabaneri?

Five years ago...

Sir Kageyuki fought to protect Unato and came back to life.

But the Bakufu soldiers feared he was a Kabane and pointed their guns at him.

I was there, too.

Please...

Tell me, Unmo!

Am I...

Am I human? Or a Kabane?

Now! Shoot him!

Father!

Miyuki!

Her father is a Kabane. She'll be one someday, too!

What? You bastard!

And then Sir Kageyuki…

bit Miss Miyuki, his own daughter, too.

He wanted to bring her back to life

even if it meant turning her into a Kabane.

Is that her?

In the blue light?

Yes. That's Miss Miyuki.

I've seen that light before.

Mumei was also...

Yeah. She became the heart of the Kurokeburi.

She's gathering…

the fearful hearts of the Kabane to her.

Are you saying this whole castle is going to become part of the Kurokeburi?

That's right.

The nest is trying to protect itself and will turn into a Kurokeburi.

It's about to burst.

It's…

going to go crazy soon and…

try to destroy everything.

Everything.

I can tell.

Hey.

No, you idiot. The same thing's not going to happen.

We're going to stop it this time. Together.

Yeah.

I'm sure that light and the fear in the Kabane

created a restless aura and made everyone feel anxious.

That's right.

Let's stop the leader.

I won't let them destroy Unato.

They're getting louder.

This is bad!

Sir Kageyuki! Stop fighting!

Unmo, watch out!

Your beloved Unato is going to be destroyed!

Are you okay with that?

Sir Kageyuki!

Now! Mumei!

It hit him!

Father!

Miyuki..

What's this?.

Am I seeing inside their hearts?.

Did that blue light show me that illusion?.

Mumei!

You're all enemies.

I must kill you all!

Unmo! Get away from there!

No! You must not lose your heart!

No.

You took it from me.

My future, and my only hope.

Why did you hesitate?

Why didn't you say…

that I'm human?

It's too late for regrets.

Who cares if Unato gets destroyed!

Ka...

Kageyuki...

Mumei!

Leave it to me.

I don't feel bad for him.

I don't feel any sympathy.

His heart has been possessed by hatred.

Ikoma is different from you.

Mumei!

Hey! What's that?

The mountain!

Get out! Hurry!

It's going to collapse!

It's still trying to turn into a Kurokeburi?

She's crying.

She's crying.

She's afraid.

Unmo!

Sukari! Let's go!

It's blocked!

We can't go forward!

What about Ikoma?

Hurry!

Kurusu!

You're late.

Morning has come already.

I'm glad you're back!

Everyone's here! We're all back together!

We're going to retreat.

The Kurokeburi!

It's coming closer!

But it's starting to collapse. If we can shake it off...

It's holding on!

This is bad.

Hold on tight.

Miss Yukina!

I'm going to raise our speed and crash it into Iraka Tunnel.

But we'll have to decelerate before the switchback.

What about the suction brake?

Let's try it.

-Sukari, can you hear me? -Yes!

Sorry, but I got a new job for you..

We're going to brake before the switchback. What's our braking distance?

At this speed…

600 feet. That's 14 seconds.

I see. We're going to apply the brakes on all cars at the same time.

You're in the front, so you give the signal.

Understood!

Everyone!

The brakes will be activated after the whistle blows for five seconds..

Hold on tight to the handrails!.

Not yet! Don't shoot!

Come on.

Shoot!

Decelerate!

Bye!

Yeah!

I'm scared.

There's nothing to be scared of.

I'm sure you'll make friends with them, Hozumi.

Say "Let's play together tomorrow."

Yeah.

We stopped...

What's that?

Snow.

The last snow of the year.

Put a bit of water in.

Front, all right.

Front, all right.

I'm glad you're back safe because…

we'll disassemble the train for repairs soon.

Right. We'll need a lot of help.

Right.

Lady Ayame.

Don't do that anymore.

Okay...

Don't face the enemy alone just because you learned a bit of swordsmanship.

You're being too arrogant.

Okay!

Don't speak up at the council too much.

They won't take you seriously.

Okay!

And don't do chores.

What are you going to do if your skin cracks?

Okay!

Kabane are people who were afraid of other people and hated them,

and couldn't control those feelings.

Their hatred spread throughout Unato…

and made us feel anxious, too.

That's what Takumi said.

I wonder if they feel angry, too, when their friends get killed.

The Kabane?

Of course not!

But when I look at their scary eyes…

I feel that maybe they hate us.

When I touch meat, I feel like it's mad at me.

You scaredy-cat.

What? I'm being serious! Hey, Ikoma!

I didn't understand what he was talking about back then. But he's probably right.

The Kabane virus increases anger, anxiety, and hatred.

But... if there's someone that you keep caring about…

I think you can keep those feelings down.

Like that light that enveloped us back then.

So, don't worry.

Yeah.

But I didn't forget our promise. That's not what I mean.

I know that.

Are you wearing it?

Do you like it?

Yeah.

Good.

The pattern on that stone moves, you know.

-What? -No way!

It's true.

It's moving as we speak.

Take a look.

W-What?!

Oh, no! This is embarrassing!

What about that pattern?

-It doesn't move! -What?!
