1
00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:08,222
It was a time when people
still held the virtue of stupidity.
2
00:01:08,257 --> 00:01:12,534
A time when the world
was free of modern frictions...
3
00:01:13,259 --> 00:01:17,632
To enliven the merrymaking of
feudal lords and wealthy merchants...
4
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,386
and to guarantee the continued
laughter of courtesans and prostitutes,
5
00:01:22,421 --> 00:01:26,751
it was a time languid
enough to accommodate...
6
00:01:26,786 --> 00:01:32,528
the luxurious habits of gregarious
tea monks and male courtiers.
7
00:01:33,287 --> 00:01:35,153
Lady Sadakuro...
8
00:01:35,188 --> 00:01:36,768
Lady Jiraiya...
9
00:01:36,803 --> 00:01:38,419
Lady Narukami.
10
00:01:38,752 --> 00:01:44,487
Even in the playhouses
and pictorials of the day...
11
00:01:44,522 --> 00:01:48,257
beauty was power...
and ugliness was weakness.
12
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:55,824
This obsession
with beauty gave rise to...
13
00:01:55,911 --> 00:01:59,659
a new artistic paradigm where
the body was seen as a canvas.
14
00:02:00,092 --> 00:02:04,182
Vivid, dreamlike lines and colors...
15
00:02:04,217 --> 00:02:07,569
danced upon those people's skins.

25
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:12,450
In the heart of the young tattoo artist...
26
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:16,189
lurked an unknown hedonism and ambition.
27
00:04:17,478 --> 00:04:21,182
As his needle pierced
the skin of his subjects...
28
00:04:21,416 --> 00:04:26,126
unable to endure the
stinging ache of ink and blood...
29
00:04:27,609 --> 00:04:31,615
in their swollen flesh,
most would groan with agony.
30
00:04:32,871 --> 00:04:36,260
As their moaning intensified...
31
00:04:36,606 --> 00:04:39,042
mysteriously...
32
00:04:39,173 --> 00:04:42,949
so too did the unspeakable
pleasure of the artist.
33
00:05:21,222 --> 00:05:22,802
Who are you?
34
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:51,041
Kurusu, my chiropractor?
35
00:05:51,076 --> 00:05:52,575
Seizo.
36
00:05:53,393 --> 00:05:56,305
I think I've heard of you...
37
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,003
Have you?
38
00:05:58,038 --> 00:06:01,659
Yes... but...
39
00:06:04,005 --> 00:06:05,856
You can't remember.
40
00:06:11,553 --> 00:06:13,616
Where are we?
41
00:06:16,943 --> 00:06:19,474
We're in a submarine.
42
00:06:19,765 --> 00:06:21,891
A submarine?
43
00:06:22,181 --> 00:06:25,422
Yes. Listen...
44
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,990
Can you hear the sonar?
45
00:06:33,269 --> 00:06:36,392
It's proof that we're navigating
the abyss.
46
00:06:38,205 --> 00:06:40,109
How deep are we?
47
00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:45,095
An unheard-of depth.
48
00:06:55,671 --> 00:06:58,280
You're a woodblock print specialist...
49
00:06:58,315 --> 00:07:02,018
recognized for your sense of color.
50
00:07:03,054 --> 00:07:05,588
Do I know you from school?
51
00:07:07,598 --> 00:07:10,108
From graduate school?
52
00:07:10,508 --> 00:07:12,742
Guess again.
53
00:07:13,273 --> 00:07:17,057
- There's something else you do.
- What?
54
00:07:18,448 --> 00:07:20,280
A long time ago...
55
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:23,970
there was a chiropractic lecture...
56
00:07:24,005 --> 00:07:28,172
at the pool, on my
way home from the gym...
57
00:07:29,004 --> 00:07:30,871
I saw a mermaid.
58
00:07:31,277 --> 00:07:34,258
Was it a dream?
59
00:07:34,926 --> 00:07:38,977
Maybe... maybe it was a dream.
60
00:07:40,792 --> 00:07:44,478
Suddenly, a white leg
emerged from the water.
61
00:07:44,992 --> 00:07:47,215
She called me...
62
00:07:48,045 --> 00:07:50,755
urging me into the water.
63
00:07:52,252 --> 00:07:57,028
- Was it my leg you saw?
- No!
64
00:07:58,285 --> 00:08:00,509
It was a mermaid's leg...
65
00:08:01,026 --> 00:08:03,334
covered in scales.
66
00:08:04,658 --> 00:08:06,479
Scales?
67
00:08:19,045 --> 00:08:22,329
However, she vanished.
68
00:08:24,071 --> 00:08:26,812
A phantom mermaid...
69
00:08:28,330 --> 00:08:30,218
One year later...
70
00:08:30,506 --> 00:08:34,020
the phantom reappeared unexpectedly.
71
00:08:35,479 --> 00:08:37,300
"Beauty Without Mercy"...
72
00:08:38,098 --> 00:08:41,730
A gory exhibition of woodblock prints.
73
00:10:21,146 --> 00:10:23,903
I took the catalogue photos.
74
00:10:24,212 --> 00:10:26,206
Are you a photographer?
75
00:10:26,675 --> 00:10:28,852
I restore paintings.
76
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,337
You restore paintings?
77
00:10:34,049 --> 00:10:35,607
Some time ago...
78
00:10:35,642 --> 00:10:38,517
while restoring a temple painting...
79
00:10:38,552 --> 00:10:42,558
someone fell from the scaffolding.
80
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:45,304
"Kurusu..."
81
00:10:45,339 --> 00:10:48,963
I thought, that name is like "crucifix".
82
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:52,848
Does that make me the Messiah?
83
00:10:56,238 --> 00:10:58,383
I'll settle for photographer.
84
00:18:14,745 --> 00:18:16,636
What do you want?
85
00:18:19,872 --> 00:18:22,239
Human flesh is amusing.
86
00:18:26,315 --> 00:18:30,982
Binding it tightly and loosely
distorts it in different ways.
87
00:18:31,017 --> 00:18:32,847
Each expression is unique.
88
00:18:32,882 --> 00:18:35,183
Both the painful contortions...
89
00:18:35,218 --> 00:18:38,955
and the delightful ones
reveal the depths of your heart.
90
00:18:40,188 --> 00:18:44,925
When wrapped in a transparent
membrane, it warps in an odd way.
91
00:18:45,031 --> 00:18:47,599
Depending on the light...
92
00:18:47,634 --> 00:18:50,394
it can look enticing or revolting.
93
00:18:51,305 --> 00:18:53,199
Turn it off.
94
00:18:57,686 --> 00:19:00,560
You just want it to stay fresh...
95
00:19:04,531 --> 00:19:08,388
so you can have a fresh body, right?
96
00:19:12,469 --> 00:19:15,203
You think I wrapped you...
97
00:19:15,961 --> 00:19:18,121
to keep you from spoiling?
98
00:19:21,311 --> 00:19:22,901
I'm afraid not.
99
00:19:24,978 --> 00:19:27,622
I wanted to wrap you...
100
00:19:28,151 --> 00:19:31,586
in something as smooth as your skin.
101
00:19:33,090 --> 00:19:36,186
I wanted to do it with sense.
102
00:19:36,563 --> 00:19:39,006
What do you mean... "with sense?"
103
00:19:40,089 --> 00:19:42,036
Sense?
104
00:19:42,662 --> 00:19:44,699
As in, sensibility?
105
00:19:45,482 --> 00:19:47,001
Taste.
106
00:19:48,669 --> 00:19:52,800
Can bastards who
abduct women have taste?
107
00:20:30,926 --> 00:20:35,785
In ancient China,
the tyrant King Chu reigned.
108
00:20:35,792 --> 00:20:38,347
This was his concubine's portrait.
109
00:20:38,888 --> 00:20:42,452
Her tiara weighted with
pink coral and lapis lazuli...
110
00:20:42,462 --> 00:20:46,915
Her plump, formless body
leaned lazily against a railing...
111
00:20:46,935 --> 00:20:50,932
Her fine silk robe
cascaded across her body...
112
00:20:50,967 --> 00:20:54,089
From the way the concubine
tilted a glass in her hand...
113
00:20:54,124 --> 00:21:00,589
to her gaze towards the man
in the garden waiting to be sacrificed.
114
00:21:01,219 --> 00:21:05,149
Chained to a bronze pillar...
silently awaiting his death,
115
00:21:05,170 --> 00:21:08,213
Bowing his head to the concubine...
116
00:21:08,248 --> 00:21:13,966
with eyes closed,
his face the color of death.
117
00:21:14,348 --> 00:21:17,853
Everything was depicted with
amazing detail.
118
00:21:19,082 --> 00:21:23,705
The young maiden revelled
in this grotesque world...
119
00:21:23,787 --> 00:21:27,257
And unbeknownst to her,
120
00:21:27,265 --> 00:21:29,431
she became extremely excited.
121
00:21:30,702 --> 00:21:36,056
Her face began to
resemble that of the concubine.
122
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:42,460
She felt as if her true self
hidden within was awakening.
123
00:21:46,331 --> 00:21:48,898
This is your true self.
124
00:21:49,684 --> 00:21:52,513
Just like the woman in this story.
125
00:21:53,535 --> 00:21:55,633
She enjoys the blood.
126
00:21:56,891 --> 00:22:01,160
He unrolled another picture...
127
00:22:01,195 --> 00:22:05,880
entitled, "Manure".
128
00:22:06,862 --> 00:22:09,137
In the middle of the picture,
129
00:22:09,172 --> 00:22:12,692
a young woman leans
against the trunk of a cherry tree,
130
00:22:12,727 --> 00:22:14,963
looking down at the ground...
131
00:22:14,998 --> 00:22:18,231
where there are heaps of dead males.
132
00:22:19,003 --> 00:22:24,275
A flock of birds sings
a victory song above her.
133
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:30,042
We can see her eyes full of
pride and joy.
134
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:34,507
Was it the aftermath of a battle or...
135
00:22:34,542 --> 00:22:37,540
a view of the spring flower garden?
136
00:22:38,730 --> 00:22:41,257
The maiden who witnessed this...
137
00:22:41,606 --> 00:22:45,810
felt she had found
that depth in her soul...
138
00:22:45,845 --> 00:22:48,546
which she had always sought.
139
00:24:43,112 --> 00:24:45,534
After graduating from high school...
140
00:24:45,569 --> 00:24:48,201
you attended industrial art school.
141
00:24:48,236 --> 00:24:50,253
Your major was Japanese Pictorals.
142
00:24:50,288 --> 00:24:53,952
After graduating with honors,
you moved on to post-graduate school...
143
00:24:53,987 --> 00:24:55,957
and became a research student.
144
00:24:56,229 --> 00:24:57,966
Stop this!
145
00:24:58,001 --> 00:24:59,673
You are a Gemini.
146
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:01,556
Your future is mixed.
147
00:25:01,591 --> 00:25:05,766
Changing environments
leave you ever restless.
148
00:25:05,801 --> 00:25:08,557
Rather than pursue change yourself...
149
00:25:08,592 --> 00:25:12,556
you find that going
with the flow works better.
150
00:25:19,247 --> 00:25:22,901
As her chiropractor,
when I touched her skin...
151
00:25:23,552 --> 00:25:26,350
I knew I had found the girl...
152
00:25:26,385 --> 00:25:28,600
I'd been searching for.
153
00:25:29,458 --> 00:25:31,770
One with firm white skin...
154
00:25:32,186 --> 00:25:36,282
that breathes when
it is moderately moistened.
155
00:25:37,707 --> 00:25:39,473
I have found her.
156
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,825
At last, here she is!
157
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:44,033
I've learned everything about her...
158
00:25:44,068 --> 00:25:47,886
from her birth
until this very moment.
159
00:26:18,517 --> 00:26:20,804
With my own hand, I must...
160
00:26:21,422 --> 00:26:24,315
tattoo her skin.
161
00:26:27,619 --> 00:26:29,241
"Tattoo"?
162
00:26:32,498 --> 00:26:34,719
Very moist...
163
00:26:35,552 --> 00:26:38,135
perfect for ink.
164
00:26:39,192 --> 00:26:40,939
Tattoo?
165
00:26:41,959 --> 00:26:44,171
Is this about tattoos?
166
00:26:44,334 --> 00:26:45,864
That's right.
167
00:26:47,135 --> 00:26:50,098
Your graduate theses...
168
00:26:51,139 --> 00:26:56,085
"The Reality of Color and Ideology of
Contrast in the Art of Tattooing"...
169
00:26:56,781 --> 00:26:59,428
and "The Setting Sun of the Equinox"...
170
00:27:00,037 --> 00:27:03,041
marked you out as
a great commentator.
171
00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:06,246
Under your professor's recommendation...
172
00:27:06,585 --> 00:27:09,661
you were published for the first time.
173
00:27:11,194 --> 00:27:13,089
Who are you?
174
00:27:13,808 --> 00:27:16,633
You weren't aware that your skin...
175
00:27:17,171 --> 00:27:20,750
was perfect for tattooing.
176
00:27:22,002 --> 00:27:23,570
Isn't that right?
177
00:27:26,959 --> 00:27:29,351
Men are so stupid.
178
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,272
Women aren't such oblivious animals.
179
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:37,477
We know our bodies intimately.
180
00:27:39,557 --> 00:27:44,084
The skin absorbs the ink
and brings out the color.
181
00:27:44,884 --> 00:27:47,370
I've known this since childhood.
182
00:27:48,894 --> 00:27:52,074
That's why I took care of my skin.
183
00:27:53,031 --> 00:27:54,621
Swimming...
184
00:27:54,805 --> 00:27:57,627
especially, synchronized swimming.
185
00:27:58,026 --> 00:28:01,910
It�s painful.
Overcoming it...
186
00:28:02,225 --> 00:28:05,741
brings a rush of adrenaline.
187
00:28:07,431 --> 00:28:10,316
It tones the skin.
188
00:28:11,865 --> 00:28:15,421
I did it all for an invisible future.
189
00:28:16,322 --> 00:28:17,979
"Future"?
190
00:28:18,986 --> 00:28:21,205
Were you expecting this?
191
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:25,613
Just that my
metamorphosis would come.
192
00:28:25,648 --> 00:28:27,284
Into a mermaid?
193
00:28:28,378 --> 00:28:31,115
That's your fantasy.
194
00:28:31,150 --> 00:28:33,344
What do you want to become?
195
00:28:35,219 --> 00:28:38,788
I don't know... but...
196
00:28:40,653 --> 00:28:42,970
I want to transform.
197
00:29:04,488 --> 00:29:09,081
Do you want to forget this life,
and become a monster?
198
00:29:09,481 --> 00:29:11,597
To devour men?
199
00:29:13,582 --> 00:29:15,181
Yes...
200
00:29:15,569 --> 00:29:18,143
because this world is so boring.
201
00:29:18,218 --> 00:29:20,918
I'll become a huntress...
202
00:29:21,857 --> 00:29:25,777
butchering men
with all sorts of weapons.
203
00:29:29,676 --> 00:29:31,890
Do you detest men?
204
00:29:33,285 --> 00:29:36,423
I'll kill them because I love them.
205
00:29:38,567 --> 00:29:41,587
You have demonic blood in your veins.
206
00:29:42,670 --> 00:29:45,689
Are you planning to
draw a demon on my skin?
207
00:29:46,957 --> 00:29:49,287
The tattoo of a demon...
208
00:29:50,308 --> 00:29:52,364
that could work.
209
00:29:53,075 --> 00:29:55,785
You seem interested now.
210
00:29:58,357 --> 00:30:01,158
Before that, I want something to eat.
211
00:30:55,813 --> 00:30:58,828
I said, I want something to eat!
212
00:30:59,265 --> 00:31:01,633
This is good for your skin.
213
00:31:01,887 --> 00:31:05,822
Drink it slowly, and
it should satiate you.
214
00:31:05,857 --> 00:31:09,829
I need something I can chew.
215
00:31:11,486 --> 00:31:14,941
When the stomach is full,
the skin becomes slack.
216
00:31:14,976 --> 00:31:17,890
- Does it affect the design?
- Yes.
217
00:31:18,149 --> 00:31:21,684
You'll be fine with minimal nutrition.
218
00:31:22,638 --> 00:31:25,681
I won't let you take control.
219
00:31:25,716 --> 00:31:27,606
I'm the artist!
220
00:31:27,641 --> 00:31:30,206
I'm the art!
221
00:31:33,265 --> 00:31:36,235
I have to respect the artistic medium.
222
00:31:36,355 --> 00:31:37,993
Of course.
223
00:31:38,303 --> 00:31:40,946
If you hadn't seen me...
224
00:31:40,981 --> 00:31:44,814
you�d still be restoring paintings.
225
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,119
You know the mysterious
power of tattooing, right?
226
00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:57,143
It's magic...
227
00:31:57,907 --> 00:32:00,880
there's something special about it.
228
00:32:02,295 --> 00:32:04,539
It's a devil.
229
00:32:05,494 --> 00:32:08,596
A picture that houses a devil.
230
00:32:10,282 --> 00:32:13,047
Shall I leave the design up to you?
231
00:32:14,878 --> 00:32:17,025
I've got it...
232
00:32:17,789 --> 00:32:20,380
I want a silk spider.
233
00:32:22,271 --> 00:32:26,627
A spider that consumes souls.
A silk spider.
234
00:32:27,142 --> 00:32:29,107
It's perfect.
235
00:32:31,544 --> 00:32:34,141
A silk spider...
236
00:32:35,485 --> 00:32:38,405
- It's wrong!
- Why?
237
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,120
It clashes with your complexion.
238
00:32:40,849 --> 00:32:43,509
You don't have to make it match.
239
00:32:43,906 --> 00:32:47,145
My skin will bring out the color.
240
00:32:49,727 --> 00:32:52,581
The silk spider is dead.
241
00:32:56,131 --> 00:32:57,731
Want to see?
242
00:33:08,341 --> 00:33:10,841
It needs to be bigger.
243
00:33:12,293 --> 00:33:15,751
So that the legs almost reach my breasts.
244
00:33:17,057 --> 00:33:20,373
Do you long to be embraced by this spider?
245
00:33:23,191 --> 00:33:25,004
Yes.
246
00:33:25,518 --> 00:33:27,999
I'll feel the embrace...
247
00:33:28,477 --> 00:33:31,477
...and spit a red thread.
248
00:33:35,592 --> 00:33:38,648
There was once a
tattoo artist named Horisei.
249
00:33:44,176 --> 00:33:47,572
He searched for the perfect
skin for years.
250
00:33:47,873 --> 00:33:50,331
When he found it, at last...
251
00:33:50,366 --> 00:33:53,908
he gave the woman
a silk spider tattoo.
252
00:33:55,236 --> 00:33:57,587
Once completed...
253
00:33:58,487 --> 00:34:02,212
it was like she herself
became the spider.
254
00:34:02,709 --> 00:34:05,224
Hungering for the soul of the artist,
255
00:34:05,259 --> 00:34:07,875
she conceived his child.
256
00:34:08,483 --> 00:34:11,806
10 months and 10 days later,
the child was born.
257
00:34:11,841 --> 00:34:14,410
It was a boy.
258
00:34:15,038 --> 00:34:20,073
And the boy is you, right?
What an anti-climactic story.
259
00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:25,934
Anti-climactic?
260
00:34:26,291 --> 00:34:29,296
To the boy it wasn't.
261
00:34:31,727 --> 00:34:34,529
The silk spider on her back...
262
00:34:35,416 --> 00:34:37,841
stretched its legs...
263
00:34:38,374 --> 00:34:41,527
until the tips touched her breasts.
264
00:34:54,700 --> 00:34:57,695
I was raised by a spider.
265
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,727
What a boring story.
266
00:35:02,092 --> 00:35:05,597
Her fluids were my nourishment.
267
00:35:07,131 --> 00:35:10,449
I still have nightmares...
268
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:13,559
of it crawling all over my body.
269
00:35:14,355 --> 00:35:16,955
That spider wasn't your mother.
270
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:20,083
She was just a female.
271
00:35:21,330 --> 00:35:23,410
"A female"?
272
00:35:24,450 --> 00:35:26,096
A woman.
273
00:35:26,131 --> 00:35:28,462
What do you mean?
274
00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:32,028
A female species.
275
00:35:33,081 --> 00:35:34,616
The artist,
276
00:35:34,996 --> 00:35:39,006
learning the horror of what
he'd created...
277
00:35:39,041 --> 00:35:44,481
gouged his eyes out with
a needle bathed in blue ink...
278
00:35:45,187 --> 00:35:48,037
and threw himself into a river.
279
00:35:48,687 --> 00:35:51,559
Are you sure she didn't kill him?
280
00:35:53,793 --> 00:35:56,961
Is that what you would do?
281
00:35:58,028 --> 00:35:59,735
It's true...
282
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,384
there were rumors that,
blind and worthless...
283
00:36:03,390 --> 00:36:05,983
he was murdered by his woman.
284
00:36:07,249 --> 00:36:10,293
Occasionally, there is truth in rumors.
285
00:36:10,929 --> 00:36:14,251
Many lamented his death.
286
00:36:14,848 --> 00:36:20,215
His superior skill and sense
as an artist...
287
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:22,994
were worthy of lament.
288
00:36:24,587 --> 00:36:27,172
The Silk Spider Woman...
289
00:36:27,425 --> 00:36:30,470
sucked the souls of man after man...
290
00:36:31,363 --> 00:36:34,116
and died suddenly one day.
291
00:36:39,755 --> 00:36:43,426
At the same time he finished
the tattoo...
292
00:36:43,461 --> 00:36:47,092
his fear that he'd given birth
to a monster...
293
00:36:47,127 --> 00:36:50,426
- disturbed him.
- Yes.
294
00:36:50,862 --> 00:36:53,056
He buried a needle...
295
00:36:53,091 --> 00:36:57,929
that, after years of movement,
would exhibit its lethal nature.
296
00:36:58,766 --> 00:37:00,941
Another rumor.
297
00:37:01,996 --> 00:37:04,315
Do you believe it?
298
00:37:05,063 --> 00:37:08,851
I've also heard stories
of a forgotten needle...
299
00:37:08,886 --> 00:37:12,622
that surfaced years
after an operation.
300
00:37:14,877 --> 00:37:18,041
So all things transform?
301
00:37:21,723 --> 00:37:24,003
A water demon...
302
00:37:27,491 --> 00:37:30,225
Do you mean The Water Demon Princess?
303
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:34,281
Yes... that's what I want.
304
00:37:35,884 --> 00:37:39,283
But, nothing traditional...
305
00:37:40,322 --> 00:37:43,864
It has to be your very own.
306
00:37:45,845 --> 00:37:48,408
Demonic transformation...
307
00:37:49,048 --> 00:37:51,352
Demons of the rivers and mountains...
308
00:37:53,473 --> 00:37:56,202
Draw your masterpiece.
309
00:39:48,081 --> 00:39:50,682
Why don't you turn on the lights?
310
00:39:51,259 --> 00:39:54,480
Because, you can't see the actual color.
311
00:39:54,557 --> 00:39:56,437
Can't see the actual color?
312
00:39:56,791 --> 00:39:59,457
But, in this dimness...
313
00:39:59,709 --> 00:40:02,406
I am one with the light and shadows.
314
00:40:04,002 --> 00:40:06,183
The flickering flame...
315
00:40:07,149 --> 00:40:09,850
is the essence of my mind.
316
00:40:12,343 --> 00:40:15,487
"The eulogy of light and darkness."
317
00:41:45,739 --> 00:41:49,510
Shortly thereafter,
he took a paintbrush...
318
00:41:49,545 --> 00:41:53,374
curiously into the fingers
of his left hand.
319
00:41:53,409 --> 00:41:55,573
Laying it upon her back,
320
00:41:55,608 --> 00:41:59,527
he stabbed with the
needle in his right hand.
321
00:42:00,722 --> 00:42:02,870
The spirit of the young artist...
322
00:42:02,905 --> 00:42:07,009
blended with the ink,
bled into her skin.
323
00:42:08,012 --> 00:42:12,683
He tattooed the burnt orange
mixed with alcohol into her skin,
324
00:42:12,718 --> 00:42:15,868
every drop a part of his life force.
325
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:20,458
He saw the color of his own soul.
326
00:42:22,104 --> 00:42:24,599
Afternoon became evening...
327
00:42:24,634 --> 00:42:27,971
and the young spring day faded away.
328
00:42:28,006 --> 00:42:30,609
He continued, unfazed...
329
00:42:30,786 --> 00:42:34,041
and the maiden's dream
remained undisturbed.
330
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,901
Every brush stroke...
was an epic labor.
331
00:45:16,206 --> 00:45:21,501
Every prick of the needle felt as if...
332
00:45:21,954 --> 00:45:25,447
his own heart was being stabbed.
333
00:45:26,499 --> 00:45:29,506
From his needle came...
334
00:45:29,541 --> 00:45:32,809
the form of a giant spider.
335
00:45:33,321 --> 00:45:40,539
As the night was burned
away again by the day,
336
00:45:40,574 --> 00:45:43,496
it spread its eight legs...
337
00:45:43,531 --> 00:45:46,288
and rooted itself to her back.
338
00:45:48,278 --> 00:45:49,428
In the spring night...
339
00:45:49,463 --> 00:45:53,431
the echoes from a
riverboat�s oars could be heard.
340
00:45:53,466 --> 00:45:57,037
As its sails were impregnated
by the morning wind...
341
00:45:57,072 --> 00:45:59,764
the tip of the mast cut through
the mist.
342
00:46:00,033 --> 00:46:06,119
The rising sun glistened against
the roof tiles.
343
00:46:06,390 --> 00:46:09,663
At last, he put down his paintbrush and...
344
00:46:09,698 --> 00:46:14,175
gazed at the spider's form
in the young maiden's back.
345
00:46:15,569 --> 00:46:20,800
This tattoo was the
culmination of his entire life.
346
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,703
After completing his masterpiece,
the artist's heart...
347
00:46:25,710 --> 00:46:28,016
was hollow.
348
00:53:03,594 --> 00:53:06,353
How long have I been asleep?
349
00:53:06,656 --> 00:53:08,521
Don't know.
350
00:53:09,203 --> 00:53:12,563
The sun rose... and set.
351
00:53:12,857 --> 00:53:15,563
The moon and stars shone.
352
00:53:15,598 --> 00:53:18,918
The wind blew... and rain fell.
353
00:53:18,953 --> 00:53:21,092
Again sunrise.
354
00:53:21,259 --> 00:53:24,374
I barely remember it at all.
355
00:53:26,628 --> 00:53:31,071
I... awoke for an instant...
356
00:53:31,106 --> 00:53:33,705
and saw many people with tattoos.
357
00:53:34,595 --> 00:53:36,809
"Princess Yaegaki..."
358
00:53:36,844 --> 00:53:40,068
"Gyoran Kanzen Bosatsu..."
The giant toad, "Jiraiya."
359
00:53:40,103 --> 00:53:42,938
It was like the prints had come to life.
360
00:53:43,518 --> 00:53:46,482
Then there was a hot mist.
361
00:53:46,754 --> 00:53:49,712
I remember nothing after that.
362
00:53:50,688 --> 00:53:52,906
What was that?
363
00:53:52,941 --> 00:53:56,862
I apply steam to improve the
tattoo's color.
364
00:53:56,897 --> 00:54:01,079
The traditional method
is to bathe in hot water...
365
00:54:01,114 --> 00:54:04,696
but, steam is my method
to prolong the color.
366
00:54:04,731 --> 00:54:07,662
Where did those people go?
367
00:54:08,838 --> 00:54:11,795
They returned to their world.
368
00:54:18,321 --> 00:54:20,538
Is it finished?
369
00:54:20,573 --> 00:54:24,272
Let me see it.
Take this off me.
370
00:54:25,226 --> 00:54:27,172
Before that...
371
00:54:30,549 --> 00:54:33,149
you need to listen to me.
372
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,243
You are Horisei's daughter.
373
00:54:38,906 --> 00:54:41,850
We are brother and sister,
born of different mothers.
374
00:54:41,885 --> 00:54:44,199
- What?
- Shut up and listen.
375
00:54:45,569 --> 00:54:49,738
Your superior sense of color and contrast
comes from our father.
376
00:54:49,773 --> 00:54:53,327
It helped you in your graduate research.
377
00:54:53,362 --> 00:54:55,295
But, at the same time...
378
00:54:55,330 --> 00:54:59,023
you've inherited
the kind of cruelty...
379
00:54:59,058 --> 00:55:02,159
needed to use human skin
as a canvas.
380
00:55:02,194 --> 00:55:04,867
Your pursuit of this genre...
381
00:55:04,902 --> 00:55:08,194
has brought you to
our father's work.
382
00:55:08,229 --> 00:55:10,357
It is alive...
383
00:55:10,392 --> 00:55:13,388
an animated picture.
384
00:55:14,213 --> 00:55:19,016
His slumbering spirit
awoke within you.
385
00:55:19,051 --> 00:55:22,443
You wanted possession of all
his work...
386
00:55:22,478 --> 00:55:24,212
as a collector.
387
00:55:25,595 --> 00:55:28,170
And, Tattoo was born.
388
00:56:10,568 --> 00:56:12,444
You're lying...
389
00:56:12,743 --> 00:56:15,127
He's not my father.
390
00:56:15,162 --> 00:56:17,742
- Buddha Stick.
- Buddha?
391
00:56:17,777 --> 00:56:20,485
I want to be one with the colors...
392
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,619
see inside them...
393
00:56:22,654 --> 00:56:24,325
taste their scent...
394
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,556
That's why I used it.
395
00:56:26,591 --> 00:56:28,049
Buddha?
396
00:56:29,025 --> 00:56:32,251
- Opium.
- Opium?
397
00:56:32,286 --> 00:56:35,328
I smoked it in a pipe.
398
00:56:36,205 --> 00:56:38,279
Drugs...
399
00:56:38,314 --> 00:56:40,889
When I took it...
400
00:56:40,924 --> 00:56:43,427
my personality split.
401
00:56:47,565 --> 00:56:50,929
When I wear these,
I become someone else.
402
00:56:50,964 --> 00:56:53,416
I can go to a different world.
403
00:56:53,451 --> 00:56:56,749
You went there, only to return.
404
00:56:57,248 --> 00:56:59,698
Tattoo thought...
405
00:57:00,315 --> 00:57:04,239
about the consequences of
Horisei's work dying with its carrier.
406
00:57:04,274 --> 00:57:07,143
How it would be reduced
to ashes in a crematorium.
407
00:57:07,342 --> 00:57:11,659
All those beautiful paintings
would be lost forever.
408
00:57:12,102 --> 00:57:14,890
As an artist who never
used rough sketches...
409
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,026
the ink he put in the skin
was everything.
410
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,718
They must be preserved...
they must be gathered.
411
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:23,991
I agreed.
412
00:57:26,903 --> 00:57:30,610
Tattoo's thoughts aren't strange.
413
00:57:34,617 --> 00:57:36,638
Could it be?
414
00:58:25,158 --> 00:58:27,294
Those people aren't phantoms...
415
00:58:27,329 --> 00:58:29,637
they really exist.
416
00:58:31,394 --> 00:58:33,592
What do you mean?
417
00:58:38,193 --> 00:58:41,084
Look... over there.
418
00:59:04,395 --> 00:59:06,029
Want to see?
419
01:00:14,506 --> 01:00:16,347
What is this?
420
01:00:16,382 --> 01:00:18,385
Cyber Spider.
421
01:00:19,684 --> 01:00:22,558
Turn it on, and it moves.
422
01:00:22,593 --> 01:00:25,737
I won't play to your fantasy.
423
01:00:36,829 --> 01:00:39,755
This is the inside of your submarine?
424
01:00:40,041 --> 01:00:43,271
The sonar sound was fake.
425
01:00:44,110 --> 01:00:47,893
It's a submarine if I believe it is.
426
01:00:48,777 --> 01:00:53,009
An uncharted region...
of the ocean.
427
01:00:53,858 --> 01:00:56,416
You live in a dream.
428
01:01:00,056 --> 01:01:03,136
As I restored the paintings at the temple,
429
01:01:03,842 --> 01:01:07,157
I felt the urge to destroy everything.
430
01:01:07,930 --> 01:01:12,456
Fighting those urges...
made my head spin...
431
01:01:12,491 --> 01:01:15,512
and I fell from the scaffolding.
432
01:01:22,857 --> 01:01:25,968
This ceiling used to be a mosaic.
433
01:01:27,054 --> 01:01:29,543
I would gaze at it every day.
434
01:01:29,924 --> 01:01:32,691
Did you feel the need to destroy it also?
435
01:01:33,425 --> 01:01:35,330
No...
436
01:01:35,582 --> 01:01:38,291
I wanted to tattoo this.
437
01:01:42,030 --> 01:01:45,428
I converted this place into a restoration site...
438
01:01:46,408 --> 01:01:49,694
and tattooed while fighting
the urge to destroy it.
439
01:01:50,779 --> 01:01:52,489
But...
440
01:01:53,749 --> 01:01:57,173
The Silk Spider appeared to do just that.
441
01:01:59,579 --> 01:02:02,495
Your mother didn't love you.
442
01:02:06,102 --> 01:02:07,879
My mother?
443
01:02:08,255 --> 01:02:10,920
I don't have a mother!
444
01:02:11,668 --> 01:02:14,678
You have a female spider though.
445
01:02:18,073 --> 01:02:20,198
You wanted revenge.
446
01:02:22,055 --> 01:02:23,857
Revenge?
447
01:02:24,454 --> 01:02:27,609
You wanted to kill the Silk Spider...
448
01:02:27,644 --> 01:02:29,560
with your own hands.
449
01:02:34,646 --> 01:02:36,988
Could it be?
450
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,285
So, you quit restoring paintings...
451
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,254
and returned to the world...
452
01:02:43,289 --> 01:02:47,203
- of tattoos within you.
- No!
453
01:02:47,815 --> 01:02:50,446
I was searching for your skin.
454
01:02:50,481 --> 01:02:52,960
To be the next Great Horisei?
455
01:02:54,983 --> 01:02:56,453
Maybe...
456
01:02:58,167 --> 01:03:00,505
maybe you're right.
457
01:03:02,869 --> 01:03:04,807
It's instinct.
458
01:03:06,033 --> 01:03:09,465
Was it awakened by the opium?
459
01:03:11,339 --> 01:03:13,701
My instinct...
460
01:03:15,652 --> 01:03:17,630
Is Tattoo.
461
01:03:20,709 --> 01:03:22,586
I...
462
01:03:22,621 --> 01:03:27,079
feel like I've heard that
word repeated somewhere...
463
01:03:30,579 --> 01:03:35,544
That's it...
I was tired after swimming.
464
01:03:36,779 --> 01:03:44,073
As I was getting a massage,
I heard a voice say "I can endure your pain."
465
01:03:45,426 --> 01:03:49,032
Then a pipe appeared before me.
466
01:03:52,053 --> 01:03:54,698
That was you, wasn't it?
467
01:03:58,984 --> 01:04:01,841
I gave birth to Tattoo...
468
01:04:01,844 --> 01:04:04,227
is that what you're saying?
469
01:04:05,025 --> 01:04:06,912
Yes.
470
01:04:08,803 --> 01:04:11,721
I haven't killed anyone.
471
01:04:12,633 --> 01:04:15,215
Just collected them?
472
01:04:17,005 --> 01:04:20,985
If you've stalked behind and
witnessed Tattoo's crimes...
473
01:04:21,020 --> 01:04:23,852
you are Tattoo as well.
474
01:04:26,815 --> 01:04:28,365
Me?
475
01:04:31,654 --> 01:04:34,123
There were two hunters.
476
01:04:35,644 --> 01:04:39,820
Tattoo wouldn't have
existed if either had faltered.
477
01:04:40,803 --> 01:04:43,015
Are you going to devour me?
478
01:04:43,591 --> 01:04:48,024
You planned to skin me and
preserve it for your collection.
479
01:10:34,291 --> 01:10:40,703
