Darkside Blues

Kill me!

Kill me quickly!

If you tell me where the survivors

fled to, I'll think about it.

Not a chance!

I'm so pleased you said that.

Ten brave terrorists destroyed

the central control room...

...at Persona Century

headquarters.

While it was a dummy control room,

it was still quite an achievement.

A dummy?

You underestimated Persona

Century's information network.

Even if you kill me,

more of my friends will come!

You may have bought the world,

but your time is coming to an end!

That would be fascinating.

Just once, I'd like to see

surprise on the face...

...of Lando Hozuki my father.

But I wonder when that event will happen?

And now you must pay us

back for your courage.

There's a chance we'll see waves

coming from the fourth dimension?

Yes, it's just an estimate, but...

When?

In 20 minutes. It will only last

for 10 to the negative 20 seconds.

In real terms, it's damn close

to zero, but we can't ignore it.

Tell Mr. Guren.

It must be painful... To turn

to gold while you're still alive.

You're doing terrible

things as usual, Tamaki.

What's your business here, Guren?

Shouldn't the oh-so-proper heir to

Persona Century still be in bed?

When I'm plunged into darkness,

I don't need as much sleep.

So you came to watch your sister play...

...and have your first

drink of the day.

Don't interfere.

I'm only concerned with how

the business is running.

I came down here to see

the sight with my own eyes.

What happened here?

It'll happen in 120 seconds.

The transmutation machine has stopped.

Where did Katari go?!

These are the haunts

of that huge lunatic sow.

I've been looking for you, pretty boy.

Come here, boy.

We'll teach you real nice.

Although, with your brain, you'll

never understand what's going on.

Katari!

What's this?

There was never any hole here before!

It's been eighteen years since that time.

What?

What is this sound?

What's that sound?

It sounds like a horse-drawn carriage.

From underground?

Don't be stupid!

What is that?

Vanished...

The hole disappeared.

Just who are you?

Thank you.

He's from around here.

Uh... What's your name?

What is the name of this place?

It's Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku.

The Dark Side of Tokyo.

Then that will be my name.

"Darkside?"

Is there a good place to stay around here?

If you go south for two blocks,

there are several.

They're pretty cheap

if you plan to live here.

Thank you.

As long as the world is

under the influence of...

...a correct social order,

it will never fall to devastation.

However, when the social order

requires a lack of logic...

...and mindless

minions to survive...

...the devastation appears

as a world of its own.

This is boring! Can't we

liven things up a little, Mai?

If that's the case, how about

some music, Messiah people?

Quit it.

We don't have the time to

listen to drunken wailing.

Give me one, Mr. Delirium.

Thank you. The Messiah

Leader understands the world.

Okay, what do you want?

How about something dark?

No, something desolate.

Dark and cold.

Something to freeze your soul.

Fine, I've got just the thing.

It's Persona.

What's that? People from the

Japanese branch headquarters?

Never seen that before.

He looks like some VIP from the main office.

I am here to deliver a message from

the main office of Persona Century.

A few days ago, several terrorists

broke into the main office...

...trying to kill the president.

Every terrorist was killed,

with one exception.

It seems a lone survivor

returned to the surface...

...and is hiding somewhere

in this district.

Therefore, we ask for your help,

with the following provisions.

First:
Those who give us information

leading to the arrest of...

...the terrorist will

receive a reward of 5000...

...and a management position at

Persona Century's Japan office.

Any person to bring in the body

of the terrorist, dead or alive...

...will get 100,000

and a position as...

...Division Manager at

Persona Century's main office.

With that position, you can

control one of America's states!

So that means those terrorists

hit 'em where it hurts!

We ask your cooperation.

Mai!

Wait.

Mai!

Let her alone.

You're just wasting your breath.

You ass!

Let go of me, Jingo!

What business could you

have with me, little insect?

Insect?

Pardon me.

Did that disturb you?

So, what exactly did

you mean by "insect?"

A slip of the tongue.

I beg your forgiveness.

What did you mean?

Ninety percent of the Earth's

dry land belongs to my company.

And you all are parasites

living off that land.

So we're insects?

But those living in this town are...

...the final ten percent that

you guys couldn't buy off. So...

I'll teach you how to

be polite in this town.

So, this is what you call honor.

I'm gonna make every human being...

...colored with the darkness.

Everyone.

At the end of the winter sea...

...where everyone feels so lonely.

There was no other way back.

It's only the way to the darkness.

You don't have to suffer.

Just leave with the world of Darkside.

Hey, I know that song!

It's the Anti-Persona Ballad

from about thirty years ago.

It was a revolutionary anthem.

Darkness?

You, you, you...

Celebration of the vermilion feast.

I stare out at death...

...with hatred in my hands.

Grieve for the peace...

...by the bottom of your shoes.

Here comes the time

colored with the darkness.

From this town, from this town.

This town called Darkside.

Are you a citizen of this town?

Ever since yesterday night.

I imagine we'll have to meet again someday.

Mai, are you all right?

Darkside! You're incredible!

Who are you?

I'd like to talk--

Thank you.

Wait! I'd really like

to talk to you.

You ain't got a prayer, Kenzo.

Shut up!

You're kidding!

I'm completely against it.

There's no need for us to

call Enji back from Africa.

We call Enji and suffer

a short-term risk.

We don't call him and

suffer a long-term risk.

Which would you choose?

The man with the carriage...

With an opponent like that...

He was so pretty, I thought

he was an illusion.

Just who was he, Father?

No matter. I just don't

like the way Enji works.

Father, it's okay if I go below, right?

There are a lot of terrorists below.

Have you forgotten that they

even attacked our main office?

You forget. I'm the one

who foiled their plans.

And I seem to remember somebody

going down secretly himself.

Who could you be talking about?

You're such troublesome children.

By the way, what is going on with Sayo?

Well...

She seems to disappear every

now and again without warning.

In some ways she's even

more trouble than Tamaki.

The Mirror of Arvis.

He came out from here, right?

I never expected him to grow up

after we sealed him away.

You're pretty lazy.

- Is that bad?

- Not really, but...

Nobody would believe that

the leader of the Messiah...

...would just sit

staring at the moon.

So, a delinquent never Looks at the moon?

Keep a lid on it. Even babies
