Aragami Page #2

Why would I do that?

Besides. I am Aragami,

the Raging God of Battle.

I was born to die in battle.

And i cant be cut down

by some backwoods samurai.

No.

I will die when I encounter the one.

Sophistry.

Nothing you say

makes any sense at all!

Its absurd!

Then let me ask you...

...do mortals make sense?

Shabby politicians start wars where

you kill each other by the thousand.

Isnt that the reason youre here,

and your friend is dead?

Isnt that absurd?

Listen...

...the existence of this world

is absurd.

All right, then.

...why did you kill him

and choose me?

You were both half-dead.

I could only save one.

But why me and not him?

No reason. I just chose you,

thats all.

Would you rather youd died

and been eaten instead?

And look, I didnt kill him.

I gave you the chance to survive.

I could have let you both die.

But, now you have the chance to live.

Theres a big difference.

Consider yourself lucky

you have the chance.

Make the best of it.

Who do you think you are?!

You bring people here to split hairs,

and then kill them.

What chance have I got?

Its just murder!

Not all the ones I killed

were people.

They werent?

Wherd he go?

Sometimes demons or goblins

look like people.

There are beings in the world

that are beyond imagination.

They made me realize

that I wasnt human...

...that I was Aragami.

Demons, goblins, Aragami...

what are you talking about?

As I told you, the world

isnt always what it seems.

Many who look human

arent so at all.

Warriors who defeat

vast numbers of the enemy...

Miraculous survivors

of disease or accident...

People say theyre lucky...

...but thats not it.

Thyre human,

but then again theyre not.

Oh, I get it.

If youre Aragami,

maybe I am, too.

Maybe.

Thats not true! Neither of us

looks anything other than human.

Some birds fly high up in the sky,

but some never leave the ground.

Its not strange that humans

come in different forms.

My being here...

...is proof of existence

beyond what is known.

I say white, you say black.

I just dont see it.

No, you wouldnt.

I used to think

I was human, too.

I went looking for battle

from the moment I was born...

...and I fought lots of men.

No one could beat me.

I couldnt help wondering

why I was so strong.

And then in time

the whole world knew my name.

I became feared

No man would face me

in a fair fight any more.

Wait...

What is that name

the whole world knew?

Who, me?

Yeah.

Miyamoto Musashi.

Musashi?

Youre the Musashi

who never met his match?

It doesnt matter now

what my name was.

But he died years ago!

Yeah, thats what I heard.

You know "rumors".

Youre historys

greatest samurai in the world?

...and also youre an inhuman

Aragami?

Is that it?

Yeah, something like that.

And you want me to fight

a monster like you?

Thats right.

What an idiot!

Ow! That hurts!

Sorry, sorry.

Youre Musashi!

Ow! Ow!

Give me a break!

What the hell.

Ive already died once.

Alright.

Your swords no good any more.

Take what you like.

No, not that one.

Thats mine.

You said to take one.

Sorry.

I recommend...

...that western one.

Its called a "broadsword".

Its heavy, and it cuts.

The owners of these weapons

are all dead...

...so feel free.

Forget that sickle-and-chain.

The rooms too small.

Too many pillars.

How will a bears-claw help?

Ninja stars are for losers.

That guns good.

Its a "pistol".

The latest weapon from the west.

It fires a bullet with gunpowder,

like a matchclock.

It wont be easy to hit me

with it, of course.

Hey, wait a minute.

Shooting me when I was asleep

wouldnt be much fun.

I thought Id wake you up.

I am not able to sleep.

Tell me...

...have you ever dreamed?

Of course.

I dont sleep,

so I never have.

Thats too bad.

A good dream is fun.

Id like to try it someday...

dreaming.

About the gun...

You have to pull the hammer back

to fire.

That was your friends sword.

Its a good one.

Killing me with it

would be a nice way to mourn.

So thats your choice?

So you mean to win...

Youre my kind.

We cant turn away from fighting.

If were the same kind,

and youre Aragami...

...what does that make me?

Beat me and youll find out.

Im glad we met.

Thats a sneaky trick!

Yes! I like that!

Thats why I chose you.

This is the central moment

of your life.

Stake body and soul,

present. past and future...

...and show me!

Youre the man I chose.

Cant you do better than that?

The hammer...

You wont beat me with that.

I guess not.

I thought maybe

he was the one.

Is there no one in this world

who can stand against me?

He was a real samurai.

Give him a good funeral.

You?

The world isnt always

what it seems.

Didnt you say that?

Yes, I did.

Im sure you have no equal under

heaven. But look up...

...therere millions of stars above.

Youve made me realize

what I really am.

This is indeed

a world of wonder.

Fascinating.

Youre the one

Ive been waiting for.

You werent waiting for me.

I was searching for you.

Thanks.

This is the best moment in my life.

What manner of being are you?

Beat me and youll find out.

I see...

The world is so wide,

and still full of mystery...

Now you can sleep.

I can?

So this is sleep...

Hey...

...do you think...

...I can dream, too?

Yeah.

I wonder what hes dreaming...

What will you do?

Ill stay here...

...with you.

You will stay here...

...and continue your battle.

Oh,well...

Ive got nowhere to go.

I guess Ill stay.

Aragami...

I wonder whos going to beat me.

Ill be here to see.
