Senpai!

Do you know what you're doing?

If you don't dispose of that thing, you'll surely regret it!

Sorry, Samidare.

Senpai!

I have faith that this is no mistake.

Long ago, there were terrifying and ruthless Oni.

They delighted in butchering humans and destroying everything they could.

However...

there was one man who opposed them.

His name was Momotaro.

Momotaro stormed Onigashima and defeated countless Oni.

That was just the beginning of the war between Momotaro and the Oni.

I'm starvin'. What do you wanna get?

ONI'S BLOOD

Ramen, of course.

ICHINOSE LIQUOR STORE

We just had it yesterday!

Yesterday was tonkotsu ramen. Today...

Why the hell are you calling me like this?

Huh?

You heard? Yeah, that's right!

SHIKI ICHINOSE

I got expelled!

Isn't that hilarious?

Don't sweat it.

I was already sick of those jerks anyway.

If anything, sorry for butting into your solo fight.

Oh, don't be so grim!

I'm hanging up, loser!

Expelled, huh?

Now what?

Eh, whatever.

Shiki!

A fist to the head?

TSUYOSHI ICHINOSE

You got expelled?! What the hell, you idiot?!

Explain yourself, you dumbass of a son!

Shut up!

Who the hell cares?

Did you just yell, "Shut up, moron!" at your father?!

I didn't call you a moron.

Seriously, what's with all these damn weapons?

We run a liquor store, not a gun shop!

Shut up! What's it to you?

I heard your clientele is shrinking again, Pops.

Shut up!

Stay outta grown-up business!

Yeah, real grown-up of you. What a joke.

An expelled punk acting all high and mighty!

I'll never end up like you.

My only damn relief is that we're not blood-related.

Hey! Don't say crap like that.

Hello. Ichinose Liquor Store.

Beer delivery?

Yeah, you got it! I'll head out right away!

Damn it... Dumbass kid.

Wish some rich guy had taken me in instead.

Huh?

What the hell?

Ow...

The hell is going on?

So you're Shiki Ichinose, huh?

Shiki! Get in!

ICHINOSE LIQUOR STORE

Hey, Pops! What the hell are you doing?

Just get in!

Hey!

Damn it! The only option left might be skipping the country.

Pops, did you borrow from some shady loan shark or something?

That's still no reason to run a guy over!

Doesn't matter!

He's not dead!

He looked dead to me!

There's no time.

Listen carefully. I'm only gonna say this once!

Idiot! Keep your eyes on the road!

Shiki...

you...

are a descendant of the Oni.

And that guy back there...

he's descended from Momotaro.

Huh?

Why are you joking around at a time like this?

I get it. It's hard to believe. But...

Pops!

He's already caught up to us!

What the hell is this?

Shit!

Damn it!

What the hell is going on?

Shiki! We've gotta get out of here!

Shiki?

Shiki!

Oni blood makes you nothing but a pest to humanity.

Exterminating those pests is our job.

SAMIDARE MOMOYA MOMOTARO AGENCY

We are the Momotaro Agency.

How could you still be alive?

The Momotaro fairy tale was all real.

For thousands of years, Momotaro and the Oni have been at war,

passing down the fight from generation to generation.

Eventually, the Momotaro descendants banded together

and formed what's now the Momotaro Agency.

Out of fear, the Oni began hiding among humans.

What the hell are you talking about?

You stay put.

From here on out, it's time for the adults.

Pops!

This black mist is a unique trait only possessed by those of Momotaro blood.

It's been a while, Senpai. We've both aged, huh?

TSUYOSHI MOMOGAWARA FORMER MEMBER OF THE MOMOTARO AGENCY

Tsuyoshi Momogawara, formerly with the Momotaro Agency.

Don't call me by that name!

Pops?

My old man's a Momotaro?

I'm Tsuyoshi Ichinose.

Even if you've changed your name,

it doesn't change the fact that you're a Momotaro.

You haven't forgotten just how dangerous Oni truly are, have you?

You sheltered an Oni, Senpai.

For that, you'll be eliminated as well.

Like hell!

What the hell?

One thing after another. None of it makes sense.

Why are you protecting an Oni?

Why? They're monsters who do nothing but harm humans!

Shut the hell up!

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Pops!

Senpai...

you really thought you could beat me

after all I've survived since you walked away?

You bastard!

Get over here! I'll freakin' kill you!

No need to tell me.

Why go this far? Why would you protect that Oni?

Why, huh?

You think a father needs a damn reason?

Of course I'd protect him! He's my son!

He hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't hurt anyone.

And you'd kill an innocent kid just because of what's in his blood?

Shut up.

Tell me.

Could you hold your own child

with those hands you've used to kill and kill again?

Shut up!

Pops...

Why am I just hanging here, watching?

Why is Pops the one getting hurt?

Wasn't I the one he was trying to kill?

Why? That bastard...

Why'd he hurt my Pops?

I'll freakin' kill him.

I'll kill him.

I'll kill him.

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him! I'll kill him!

I'll kill him!

I'll kill you!

He's awakened.

Oni fight by manipulating blood.

But that's not what's truly terrifying about them.

The reason we kill Oni

is because of their uncontrollable savagery

and the loss of their humanity!

Damn Oni scum!

What the hell happened?

What is this?

A typical state of confusion from memory loss and bodily mutation.

If you die here, all your fear ends with you.

All Oni must be eradicated!

Even after seeing that Oni,

you still stand by your decision, Senpai?

Dad!

Pops!

It wasn't so bad, being happy for a little while.

Hey, what the hell happened? Was it a gas explosion?

What happened?

Call the fire department!

Hey! Wait!

Pops!

Hey! Are you okay?

Shiki.

That's right, an ambulance.

Never mind that.

At least let me talk to you one last time.

Sorry I kept so much from you.

It must be confusing.

It's fine. Don't worry about it!

They'd kill you just for having Oni blood.

How the hell was I supposed to tell my own son that?

I won't be around anymore.

But get stronger, okay?

Strong enough to beat both the Momotaro and the Oni

so you can live free...

without anyone taking your happiness away.

That's a promise, man to man.

Shut up!

I didn't ask for some dramatic final speech!

I don't care how beat up you are! You can't cut and run on me like this!

I'm not done with you, Pops!

We've got stuff to talk about! You hear me?

You listening, you stubborn bastard?

It'd be nice if Oni and Momotaro could live like this, side by side.

Huh?

H-Hey.

Pops?

No, no. That's not right. Not yet...

Hey!

You haven't even heard my apology yet!

I told you I was glad we weren't blood-related!

You wanna hear me apologize for that, don't you?

Let me take it back, damn it!

And then just call me an idiot like always.

Come on, Pops!

Hey!

Say something!

Dad...

Too many eyes around here.

Letting someone sneak up on you that easily.

Points off.

Samidare screwed up.

He acted alone.

Pathetic!

Haven't the Momotaro gotten weaker lately?

Understandable. We can't let the public become aware of our existence.

The masses don't need to know that filthy Oni still walk among them.

Then kill the Oni child before he awakens.

Find every last Oni hiding in human society.

And exterminate them all.

Welcome back, Naito.

What do you need from me, Principal?

I heard you managed to get someone through the entrance test?

What of it?

It's been years since we had a successful applicant, right?

What's this? What happened? Drought, drought, and then bam, bumper crop.

We don't even know how useful they'll be yet.

Aw, come on, now. Admit it.

You're a little excited, aren't you?

Maybe your hearing's going.

Aw, hot and cold.

Make sure they don't die, or at least see if they're strong enough to survive.

They're some of the rare good ones that only show up once every few decades.

I've got high hopes.

And didn't you find one more?

I retrieved him, but evaluating him might be a waste of time.

If he turns out to be useless...

In the 24 ALIVE HERE

Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease

A glance exchanged becomes the signal

Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment

So far, so far

In the 24 ALIVE HERE

Gunfire devours fairy tales

Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream?

We tame despair and glory alike

Just something you prayed to God

That wish vanishes without mercy

So swallow even what's right when you must

So far from who I was

Even being incomplete

Means you can care for someone else

Doesn't matter what it is

We'll carry out the mission we were given

So far from who I was

So far from who you were

I'm afraid

The sadness, so merciless

Only deepens the pain

In the dreaming overnight

NEXT TIME IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT, KEEP ON WINNING
