Blue Seed (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 1 - Kushinadahime - full transcript

Here's Daitetsu Kunikida, from the
Terrestrial Administration Center.

Are you here to fight your
monsters again?

Not monsters. Aragami.

If my boss hadn't given
me a direct order,

I wouldn't be here playing
your stupid games.

I deal with human beings, not
your so-called "business".

Officer, I don't think you're
allowed to smoke on duty.

Damn!

Kaede!

Kaede, can you hear me?

Kaede, please! Please come back!

Ms. Matsudaira!

Director Kunikida!

What's going on?

I'm sorry...

Apologize later!
Situation update, now!

Well...

She's already inside.

She went down already?

I only took my eyes off
her for a moment.

Ms. Takeuchi is
following her, but...

What? Give that to me!

This is Kunikida!

Can you hear me, Kaede?

Don't be a fool! Come back now!

I've been transmitting, but
the radio's intermittent.

You know the fate of Japan
depends on Kaede!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for yelling.

I'm very upset.

Why must Kaede bear the burden
of the fate of Japan all by herself?

Damn!

No, Kaede!

Don't go!

Kaede, please! Please come back!

It's calling me. Calling me.

Kaede!

Please come back with me.
Everyone's waiting for you.

I'm sorry, Ms. Takeuchi.

Kaede!

Kaede!

I'm sorry, but I need to learn
the truth about my destiny.

Kaede...

If something happens to me...

If something happens to me...

What?

Please, take care of the
other Kushinada.

The other Kushinada?

Takeuchi, can you hear
me? Answer me!

What? What's going on?!

I couldn't make it in time.

On a cold night in January, a
strange incident occurred

at a neglected construction site
for the underground city project.

Mysterious Tokyo

Take it easy dangerous night

Mysterious Tokyo

Pick me up foxy night game

The shade of the moon is as clear
as it can be, inviting the night

The sound of the klaxon showers
out, the pulse of the quiet city

Silence, so much more wearisome
than loneliness, is a labyrinth

Pulling the body into pleasure

The shining night is a
sea of illumination

Blue... the blue time
begins to melt

The future floats to the
surface ephemerally

Life glitters in the same numbers
as the lights, and then is gone

Mysterious Tokyo

Take it easy dangerous night

Mysterious Tokyo

Pick me up foxy night game

Shimane Prefecture in lzumo,

a region famous as the home
of many Japanese myths.

The story begins here.

It is February, and one
month has passed

since the "incident" at the
Tokyo construction site.

Momiji... Momiji...

Grandma...

Don't be so absent minded. You
have not finished your duties yet.

I feel as if the trees in the
forest are troubled.

Something...

Something is...

It is your blood, the blood of fate,
that makes you feel this way.

Those girls look so happy,
but Kaede is...

Sir, I know you raised Kaede as
if she was your real daughter.

I'm so sorry.

Let's not bring that up when we've
come all the way here to lzumo.

Our top priority now is to protect
the other Kushinada.

I'm sorry. But I just
feel so helpless.

All right, Takeuchi, can you tell me
how our replacements are coming?

Yes, Sir. The new schedule is set
to begin working as of today.

I see.

So, this is it?

This is a bad omen.

Good morning, Sir! I...

Where's this guy Kunikida?

Damn, it smells moldy in here.

More bad luck, I'm sure of it.

Are you Ms. Kome?

Kome Sawaguchi, transferring
from the Defense Agency to the

Prime Minister's Office,
TAC as of today.

So, he drafted me, and he's
not even in the office?

Oh, are you all right, young lady?

The worst luck!

Goodbye, Grandma!

I can't believe I felt so troubled
earlier. It's so wonderful now.

Of course, I still don't think a
young girl like me should be stuck

with the duty of climbing a
mountain and purifying myself.

Listen, Momiji...

Yes, Grandma. I know just what
you'll say, as always.

Listen, Momiji. Your life
doesn't belong to you.

It belongs to all the
people of Japan.

Don't be tempted by
trivial matters.

When the time comes, you may
have to sacrifice your life

for the good of the people. Right?

You're right, that's right!

When the time comes. I wonder
what she means by that?

Oh, nuts! I'll be late!

Excuse me...

You are the daughter of the
Kushinada family, aren't you?

Kushinada? My name's
Momiji Fujimiya.

You're one of the twins born to the
Kushinada family 15 years ago.

I'm sorry, but I've come
to kill you.

Your elder twin sister is dead.

Elder sister?

Now, it is your turn.

Who the hell are you?

Damn it! How long will
you follow me?

What? Mitama?

This is my prize!

If I kill her now, all the Aragami
will disappear.

The Kushinada's blood will destroy
you, and I will be free at last!

What's the matter?

No power in the daylight?

I think I Know who you are,
but are you an Aragami?

Yes. If I'm not, you'll be
just a murderer.

You are doing areal
good job, TAC.

What?!

Damn! Takeuchi!

I know!

I'm glad you're all right.

Can you stand up?

Thank you for saving me.

You are Momiji Fujimiya, right?

How did you know my name?

You'd better not go to school
today. I'll take you home.

School!

I'll be late!

I'm sorry! Thank you very much!

But... Hey!

Oh, damn, oh damn, oh damn!

Wait! Wait for me!

I understand. Kaede is...

I am so sorry.

We adopted Kaede to protect her,

and now they seem to have found
out about Momiji as well.

I see.

I am truly, truly sorry.

Hey, Momiji! What's the matter?

You were late this morning, and
your mind's been wandering.

Hey!

Ack! That's cold!

How about that? Awake now?

Why did you do to that, Akiko?!

Because you weren't
listening to me.

What's wrong with you?

You weren't out on a date
past midnight, were you?

I don't understand what's
going on either.

I'm sorry, but I've
come to kill you.

"When the time comes, you may
have to sacrifice your life."

I wonder if the "time"
has finally come?

What time?

But I'm not a twin, and what in
the hell is a"Kushinada'"?

The time, and the Kushinada?

You really are messed up today.
Do you have a fever?

Do you know what a
Kushinada is, Akiko?

You're asking me? After fifteen
years in lzumo, you don't know?

What an airhead!

Kushinada...

Yes?

That's strange.

Since the age of myths,

the Aragami have threatened
mankind with their offspring.

For over a hundred years,
I believed they slept,

sealed away by the
blood of my family.

I never suspected that fifteen
years ago they awoke once more.

The time of Kushinada has passed.

We cannot do anything now.

No, my Lady! Ms. Momiji
is our last hope!

Please, let us protect her.

I'm sorry, I couldn't catch him.

I understand.

Takeuchi, we've got
to protect Momiji.

Call her school right now.

The time has come, my Lady!

My Lady!

I knew it!

I've called the school several
times, but nobody's answering!

What?!

Takeuchi, let's go!

Yes, Sir.

Wait!

Please take me with you.

Moe...

But...

Please!

What's going on, shoving me into
a helicopter with no explanation?

It was an order! A direct order!

You Jerk! Why did we take off
without any weapons?

That's not true.

We're armed with a super weapon
for use against the Aragami.

A super weapon against
the Aragami?

Yes, Sir. We are
definitely prepared.

It uses Tl Plasmids in a
concentrated vector solution.

Yes, but it will be conducted at the
regulated levels of the tests.

I understand.

...to suppress the Aragami.

No, that won't happen.

Remember what happened
with Kaede!

In any case, be on time!

I've secured the Army's assistance
via the Defense Agency!

Once, long ago, there was an old
couple with eight daughters

who lived together by the
stream of Hi in lzumo.

However, every year, the
Orochi-no-orochi,

a monster with eight heads and
eyes as red as a ground-cherry,

came to eat a daughter.

At last, there was only
one daughter left,

and the old parents could
do nothing but cry.

Then, Susanoo-no-mikoto, a god
who had been banished

from the Takamagahara, appeared.

He made an offer. He would kill
the monster if, in return,

he could take the
daughter for himself.

Cleverly letting the monster drink
Sake until it was drunk,

Susanoo-no-mikoto slew
the Orochi-no-orochi.

The daughter who had almost
become a victim

instead married
Susanoo-no-mikoto.

She became the
Princess Kushinada.

Nuts. I don't understand
this stuff at all!

What does this story
have to do with me?

This is all over my head.

What?

I have a strange feeling.

Could the Princess Kushinada
be holding service?

What the hell?

Kushinada...

Kushinada!

Get there on time!

Without Lady Momiji,
we have nothing!

If the Aragami kill her,

this nation will be destroyed!

Momiji...

I will... I will...

I will kill Momiji!

Help me!

No matter how fast we go, we'll
never make it to lzumo in time.

Are we too late?

The huge Aragami,

which appeared so suddenly in
the myth laden region of lzumo,

has triggered a great
whirlpool of fate,

with a single young woman
at the center.

It is too soon to know
whether these events

signal the beginning of the end,
or the dawn of a new era.

What? What? What?

I still don't understand!

Who is this Kushinada?

What do you mean about
me being twins?

Why I am a target?

Now, I will be in great danger.

I haven't known love and I'm just
a young high school girl.

Next Blue Seed:

It's Cruel! It's Mysterious!
It's My Destiny!

But I'll do my best.

I don't know when and why,
in my dream

We were kissing, two of us

Watching each other's faces,
from the long time ago

As if we have been here
for a long time

There's something wrong
and I feel strange

The red sunrise penetrates
into my eyes

The blue real is born, so deep
inside of my heart

I'm sorry I said love is unneeded,
making you lose your way

I'm sure that I'll be sad as you feel
