Izumi | (Ivan defeats Roy, and finally comes face-to-face with his murderer once again....) |
Ivan | “You’re the one guy I’ll never forgive.... I’ll never forgive you, red-eyes!” |
Red | “This meal sure barks a lot.” |
| *Bang* |
Ivan | “—hh.” |
| “He’s fast—.” |
Abel | “Ivan!” |
Ivan | “!!” |
| “Gah.” |
Red | “What’s up with you? Are you carrying your meal around for a picnic? Seems pretty handy. Guess I’ll copy you.” |
Ivan | “G—h.” |
Red | “If I stuff you in a freezer box, you’ll never rot, right?” |
| *Strangling noises* |
Ivan | “Gaaaah!” |
Abel | “Hah!” |
Red | “—Whoops.” |
Ivan | “Abel!” |
Izumi | (Omi-kun really shines as the villain this time too. The action scenes are flashy, so he’s even more terrifying than usual.) |
Red | “He must be a pain to carry around if he’s this loud. I’ll shut him up for you.” |
Abel | “Haaah!” |
Red | “Hmph.” |
| *Punch* |
Abel | “Kuh—.” |
| *Punch* |
Red | “You, that arm—?” |
Abel | “Ivan!” |
Ivan | “Yeah!” |
| “Haah!” |
| *Bang* |
Red | “Guh—.” |
| “Kuh....” |
Ivan | “...Do you remember the brunette man you killed three years ago?” |
Red | “...I don’t.” |
Ivan | “Thought so. Die.” |
| *Bang* |
Red | “...—Oi, halfling.” |
Abel | “?” |
Red | “I’ve heard of something like you before—something that couldn’t fully join this side.” |
Abel | “What?” |
Ivan | “Where did you hear this?” |
Red | “...Central's...” |
Ivan | “Oi!” |
Red | “Bill...” |
Abel | “——.” |
Ivan | “Oi! Wake up!” |
Red | “....” |
Ivan | “Tch....” |
Abel | “Bill....” |
Ivan | “He said Central, huh. I heard that place has been an undead nest for a while, but....” |
Abel | “....” |
Ivan | “Oi, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” |
Abel | “...It’s nothing.” |
Ivan | “It’s definitely not nothing. Your creepy face is even creepier than usual.” |
Abel | “....” |
Ivan | “Hey, don’t get mad. That’s just what you look like. Who’s Bill? Do you know him?” |
Abel | “...He murdered my mother—and he was once my father.” |
Ivan | “——.” |
Abel | “....” |
Izumi | (They’re both showing the subtle development of Ivan and Abel’s relationship. They’ve definitely changed from their cautiousness when they first met....) |
| |
Ivan | “Let’s go. If you meet him, you’ll be done with all your business at once.” |
Abel | “There’s no need for you to come along.” |
Ivan | “Look who’s talking. You followed me all the way here on your own.” |
Abel | “...You’re weirdly curious.” |
Ivan | “That goes for both of us.” |
Izumi | (Abel and Ivan now trust each other. They head to meet Abel’s enemy—and father....) |
| |
Bill | “Aah? What’s this. Something weird has snuck in.” |
Abel | “Father....” |
Bill | “I’ll welcome you. Here’s your meal, boys.” |
Undead dog | “Gwoof!” |
Ivan | “What are these—undead dogs!?” |
Bill | “The humans are just so loud, you see. We’re always working hard to survive too.” |
Abel | “I see. So this is what he meant when he said something that couldn’t fully join this side....” |
Ivan | “Abel—.” |
Abel | “Then I have no use for you—.” |
Bill | “—kuh.” |
Abel | “——.” |
Ivan | “Abel, back down!” |
Abel | “—hh.” |
Bill | “Oh, what shame. You’re a meal that can think.” |
Abel | “A trap—.” |
Ivan | “Haah!” |
| *Bang* |
Bill | “——.” |
Abel | “Ivan, that one’s my prey.” |
Ivan | “Looks like you’re all warmed up. But I need to return the favor, too—!” |
| *Bang* |
Bill | “Tch.” |
Abel | “Haah!” |
| *Punch* |
Bill | ““—gh.” |
| “Kuh—.” |
Abel | “....” |
Ivan | “Are you all right?” |
Abel | “...Yeah. Let’s leave the rest to the disposal squad.” |
Ivan | “Hm? Hey, this guy has a chip implanted in the back of his neck.” |
Abel | “A chip...?” |
Ivan | “Did he always have one?” |
Abel | “No, father never had anything like that—.” |
Ivan | “Let’s play it.” |
Abel | “....” |
Bill | “...To my most beloved wife Sasha and my son Abel.” |
Abel | “——.” |
Bill | “I pray that this message reaches you safely....” |
Abel | “Father...?” |
Ivan | “Don’t get close. It might be another trap—.” |
Bill | “I’m running out of time.... At this rate, I will harm you... I must avoid that at all costs...” |
Abel | “Father, father—!” |
Bill | “...Abel, I’m sorry... I failed to protect you again....” |
| “Back then, too... If we had been more careful... You wouldn’t have been involved in that accident... Your body wouldn’t have become like that....” |
Abel | “——.” |
Bill | “Abel... Sasha... Please, live in my stead....” |
Abel | “Father—!” |
| “Uwaaaaah!” |
Izumi | (Bill tells them that half of Abel’s body became a machine because of a car accident...) |
| (The dual nature of Sakyo-san’s acting... It’s amazing. It’s hard to believe he’s the same person....) |
Abel | “....” |
Ivan | “Your dad said you were in an accident, huh.” |
Abel | “My body is half-android. That’s why I was spared from becoming an undead. I’m not human—I’m not even an undead.” |
Ivan | “....” |
Abel | “I don’t belong to either side.” |
Ivan | “That doesn’t matter. You’re Abel. My gloomy partner.” |
Abel | “That bit was unnecessary.” |
Ivan | “...This means your dad retained his sanity till the very last moment. Does this mean the undead have a chance of returning to their former selves?” |
Abel | “...I don’t know. But their insides will have changed. They can’t live like humans. They can only live by consuming humans.” |
Ivan | “....” |
Abel | “If I’m going to live as a human, it won’t end until I eradicate every last one.” |
Ivan | “...You’re right.” |
| “So, what will you do? Will you live as a human, or as an undead?” |
Abel | “...I’m Abel. I’m blockhead Ivan’s partner, right? |
Ivan | “That bit was unnecessary.” |
Abel | “I will live as Abel.” |
Ivan | “Then there’s only one thing we have to do.” |
Undead A | “Gaaaaargh!” |
Undead B | “Ugaaah! Let me eat you!” |
Ivan and Abel | “—Kill them all!” |
Izumi | (The last scene: a climactic battle with several dozens of undead—.) |

Azami | ——. |
Juza | —Well done. |
| *Hit* |
Azami | Ow—. |
Taichi | That was awesome! |
| *Hit* |
Omi | You did it. |
| *Hit* |
Azami | Stop punching me! |
Banri | Well done. That was great for your first performance. |
| *Hit* |
Azami | Of course. Hey, stop, don’t rub my head! |
Sakyo | Your ad-libs could still use a lot of work. You need to think more about the scene—. |
Azami | What, lecturing me already? |
Sakyo | Just listen—. |
Azami | Agh, shut up, shut up~. |
Izumi | Guys! The curtain call! |
Azami | ——. |
Sakyo | —tch. |
Izumi | (Even though they were so in-sync on stage. I guess they’re the same even after making up...) |
