Quotes
-
Mikiya Kokutou : [Comes crawling to see Shiki] Shiki...
[He hears her breath]
Mikiya Kokutou : You're alive.
Shiki Ryogi : [Raising her hand to touch the Mikiya's face] Are you crying, Kokutou? I've killed Shirazumi.
Mikiya Kokutou : Yes...
Shiki Ryogi : I have lost many things...
Mikiya Kokutou : But... I don't care. I told you, right? I'll bear your sins in my place.
-
Shiki Ryogi : Let's go home now, Mikiya. Anyway she is not going to pay you overtime, right?
Mikiya Kokutou : OK, In a minute, let me store this box.
[Mikiya checks the box]
Mikiya Kokutou : What is this?
[He opens the box, the box has a silver chalice adorned with jewels]
Mikiya Kokutou : [to Touko] Oh, Have you back to buy that things?
Touko Aozaki : [Justifying herself] I haven't bought it, It was a fortuitous encounter.
Mikiya Kokutou : It sounds bad, although you put romanticism.
Shiki Ryogi : Damn, I'm so freaking hungry.
[Leaves Touko's office]
Mikiya Kokutou : [Seeing her out] Shiki.
Touko Aozaki : Go with her, she could eat someone if you leave her alone.

[Shiki and Mikiya are watching TV on the street]
KNKnews Anchorman : [On TV] ... People start to complain about the failure of the police to stop the continuous murders of this homicidal maniac. Investigators are examining the files from four years ago and...
Shiki Ryogi : It's a homicidal maniac, Mikiya.
Mikiya Kokutou : Is called that way because has more than ten victims. but even so, Calling it that way is not going too far?
Shiki Ryogi : No, it's well said
[Mikiya is surprised]
Shiki Ryogi : Anyone whose is behind all this can't be anything but a homicidal maniac. The offender will be glad for be called that way. The homicidal maniacs don't need a reason. The victims were attacked at random. So, this one has not killed anyone.
Mikiya Kokutou : This murderer has not killed anyone?
Shiki Ryogi : Slaughter and assassination are two different things. Do you remember that, Kokutou? You can only kill a person in life.
Mikiya Kokutou : Just one person?
Shiki Ryogi : Well... Anyway...
[Changing the subject]
Shiki Ryogi : Let's eat. I heard you took Azaka to a fancy Japanese restaurant after the incident in Reien.
Mikiya Kokutou : [sighs] Azaka...
Shiki Ryogi : And interestingly that restaurant is a place I always I wanted to go.
[Joking]
Shiki Ryogi : That was the first time I wanted to kill Azaka.
Shiki Ryogi : I guess I have no choice. Ok. Come on, take me to the resturant you want.
Shiki Ryogi : [Taking him by the arm] That's the attitude!
-
Touko Aozaki : [Handing her a paper] Miss Touko, Can I leave early?
Touko Aozaki : [With a suspicious look] You're going back to see Shiki today?
[She lights up a cigarette]
Touko Aozaki : What happened four years ago and now this murder... Don't you think it's Shiki?
Mikiya Kokutou : I heard that by the condition of corpse from the last night murder, it's hard to determine the time of the crime. It's like the murders from four years ago. All they have is rough estimates from the time and date. Shiki doesn't have an alibi for that. If we only see the facts, there's insufficient evidence against her.
Touko Aozaki : So you've investigated. but you seem depressed. You don't have a reasonable doubt to prove her innocence. Right, Kokutou? Yes, her male personality, SHIKI,is not within Shiki anymore. She's lonely since she awoke from that coma. Coincidentally, this also indicates that the personality of the murderer is no longer in her. So, your real question is this: Doesn't that mean that Shiki no longer has the need for kill?
Mikiya Kokutou : I understand. But then, why she would want to kill now?
Touko Aozaki : It will be a behavior to compensate. Is like Fujino Asagami. She doesn't feel her own life until she's in contact with death. Don't you think her method is a bit dangerous? Look, if you're so worried, just be with Shiki all day. I don't care.
-
Mikiya Kokutou : [Voice Over] Four years ago, Shiki told me she was a killer. But is not true. She can not kill anyone, no matter what. She could not kill if she tried. That's what I've always believed... I believed.
-
[while Mikiya remembers what happened in 1996]
Shiki Ryogi : [as SHIKI, on top of Mikiya while is turning her knife on his neck] Kokutou, say something, KOKUTOU!
Mikiya Kokutou : I... I don't want to die
Shiki Ryogi : But... I want to kill you.
[Hesitating]
Shiki Ryogi : Why?
[Souren Araya emerges from the shadows, Shiki lifts her dagger and instead of attacking Mikiya, she looks sidewards and attacks to Souren]
Souren Araya : Fool! You have disappointed me!
-
Souren Araya : [after repelling the Shiki's attacks that leaves him badly injured] Can not you kill me? Not appropriate if you intend to kill for a living. But you are trying to kill for escape. Do not underestimate yourself, you are part of a person. Live like one and end as one. The conflict spiral is the right end for you.
Shiki Ryogi : [Seeing her hands covered in Souren's blood] I...
[Runs off]
Mikiya Kokutou : [Following Shiki in her flight] Shiki!
Souren Araya : Is too early to destroy them.
[Souren disappears into the shadows]
Mikiya Kokutou : [Voice Over] At that time, I decided to stay with her instead of going home alone. I still don't know if I did the right thing.
-
Daisuke Akimi : You found a corpse in front of the Ryogi house three years ago, right? You know that the murderer is back, right?
Mikiya Kokutou : Did something happen?
Daisuke Akimi : We found a clue about the murderer. All the murders that took place this year happened in the alley behind a shopping district. there are many wide streets around the crime scenes. So as it's normal, many people are passing by. Someone wearing a kimono doesn't go unnoticed.
-
Drug Dealer : Hey big boy, Looking for something?
[Realizing that Mikiya has a red LSD blotter, she walks away]
Mikiya Kokutou : Hey, Wait!
Drug Dealer : Go buy your shit in other place. I don't deal with who take the red.
Mikiya Kokutou : Tell me something about it. Anything.
Drug Dealer : [Without paying attention to Mikiya, Looking to the sky] Raining again? Shit. Is hard to work with that.
-
Gakuto : Do you feel better?
[Seeing Mikiya with several red LSD blotters on the table]
Mikiya Kokutou : I'm fine, the effect begins to go. It takes about four hours.
Gakuto : You really are curious. Do you really tasted the drug?
[see the news on TV]
KNKnews Anchorman : [On TV] ... Apparently four men were killed...
Gakuto : What, again the homicidal maniac?
KNKnews Anchorman : [On TV] ... have said they saw a person with a kimono in the scene...
Gakuto : The murderer uses kimono? But what happens?
[Taking one of the LSD blotters]
Gakuto : Mikiya, what happens if you take that?
Mikiya Kokutou : Just feel what they felt Hansel and Gretel. I would not recommend it, really.
-
Mikiya Kokutou : [When he sees the drug dealer] I'm glad to see you. We met yesterday. Do you remember?
[She walks away, he follows her]
Mikiya Kokutou : Sorry, I just want ask you something...
[She submits him and corners him putting a knife in his neck]
Drug Dealer : Why are you looking for me?
Mikiya Kokutou : You're a woman, right?
Drug Dealer : Is for that? Why are you looking for me?
Mikiya Kokutou : You're wrong. You're the only one in neighborhood who doesn't sells that cocktail, so I thought you could talk about it.
Drug Dealer : [Threatening him with the knife] Is that all?
Mikiya Kokutou : Is funny how all the traffickers keep their mouths shut about that cocktail, don't you think?
-
Drug Dealer : I understand. So you're saying that there is some relation between the people who take that and the murderer, right?
Mikiya Kokutou : Yes
Drug Dealer : To begin, why are you investigating?
[Mikiya does not respond]
Drug Dealer : Oh, well. I'll tell you. As stated in the news, the murderer is that kimono one.
[Mikiya is surprised]
Drug Dealer : I think it was after I met you... I saw four guys fighting with a Kimono Girl.
Mikiya Kokutou : Did you see? You say it's a girl, but in the news said that the murderer's sex is unknown. How could you distinguish between the darkness that was a girl?
Drug Dealer : Because while I was away, I could see the beautiful curves of her body.
[to Mikiya]
Drug Dealer : Wait, did you know her? I think you shouldn't be with her. She is not normal. She was surrounded by four individuals, but she wasn't very hard with them.
Mikiya Kokutou : Does she not was hard?
Drug Dealer : She did not kill them. but cut them again and again. I've seen a lot of crazy people, but is the first time I see someone like her.

[Mikiya arrives to Lio's apartment which has become a madman's shrine to Shiki. Reads the Lio's Journal]
Mikiya Kokutou : [Voice over] April 1995, I've known her. May, I will talk about her I'm still going crazy when I see her. Only look at her but I've gone completely mad. She has usurped me the day by day. An outstanding student from the institute. Am I in love with her?
Mikiya Kokutou , Lio Shirazumi : [Voice over] July, "I hate weak people" She has said it so quietly. just like that, Shiki Ryogi told me no. I hate the weak people. I don't quite understand what that means. That night, I hit someone for the first time. That night, I killed someone for the first time.
[Mikiya is surprised]
Mikiya Kokutou : [Voice over] I couldn't sleep at all since that day. I'm so scared I can't even leave my room. I hate to live so comfortably, and even to look at me in the mirror. I'm the most despicable. I have no desire to do anything, and I have no desire to eat anything. I'm the most despicable. The seventh day, I realized that this man was not the only one who died that time. Why nobody told me the hard truth? To kill someone means to kill oneself? August. I'm freaking out slowly, as Araya said: I'm perfect. No one can blame me for killing someone if I'm crazy, but the kill don't vent me. Being alone makes me very anxious. I've realized I need someone like me, a lunatic.

Mikiya Kokutou : [Answering the phone in Shiki's apartment] Hello?
[nobody answers]
Mikiya Kokutou : You're Shiki, right?
Shiki Ryogi : Moron! Where have you been? you know there's danger outside, right? Nah, it's fine as long as you're well. Stay in Touko's office for a while. that's all
Mikiya Kokutou : [Worried] Shiki, where are you?
Shiki Ryogi : It's none of your business.
Mikiya Kokutou : Yes that's my business. You go after the murderer, right?
Shiki Ryogi : Yes
Mikiya Kokutou : No, Shiki, Come home. You shouldn't kill him.
Shiki Ryogi : [after two seconds of silence] Who should not be killed?
Mikiya Kokutou : Maybe we can barely save him now. Please Find him and...
Shiki Ryogi : [Interrupting him] Did you see to Shirazumi?
Mikiya Kokutou : Yes
Shiki Ryogi : Find Him? Are you crazy?
[sighs]
Shiki Ryogi : I understand, what must I do? Now I have no reason to forgive him.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Desperately] Shiki, No, you must not kill him.
Shiki Ryogi : I refuse. I have no intention of letting my prey go. Is an adversary of shit I have not seen in a while.
Mikiya Kokutou : But... but still. For many crimes he has committed, the murder is still the worst for him.
Shiki Ryogi : I'm sick of listening to your generalizations, Kokutou. Lio Shirazumi has killed too many people. So...
Mikiya Kokutou : [Interrupting her] No one deserves to be killed.
Shiki Ryogi : It's too late for him. Is a freak.
Mikiya Kokutou : Is the same, Shiki, Go home.
[Shiki does not respond]
Mikiya Kokutou : Shiki!
[a moment of silence]
Mikiya Kokutou : Shiki, If you kill him... I will not forgive you.
Shiki Ryogi : [after two seconds of silence] I'm sorry, I have to.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Worried] Why?
Shiki Ryogi : Because I'm a homicidal maniac, just like him.
Mikiya Kokutou : You're different. I mean, you have not even killed anyone.
Shiki Ryogi : I have not killed anyone yet because I keep getting lucky. But that does not change the fact. I have noticed something, Mikiya. four years ago, I was about to kill. because SHIKI was a personality that only knew the murder. But that's it. SHIKI only knew about the murder but did not mean that he liked kill. Since SHIKI died, I've been wanting to kill although he no longer existed. In the end, who wanted to kill was not the SHIKI who died, But the Shiki who survived. So I can not... I can't go home. Don't wait for me.
-
Mikiya Kokutou : [Still on the phone] You're wrong, Shiki. You said that you can only kill one person in life. You value this thought and, moreover, you know the pain of killing more than anyone. You will not kill anyone. You have not killed anyone yet because you do not stop to get lucky? COME ON! Now you should have out of luck. You have always chosen to repress this need. People have different preferences. Yours just happens to be killer. Last summer at Broad Bridge you told me that your need to kill was not as bad as you thought. I was convinced because I saw you smile when you told me. You will not kill anyone. You have endured so far, so you should be able to do in the future.I'm sure!
Shiki Ryogi : How that are you sure? How will you know something that even I know, Kokutou?
Mikiya Kokutou : Because... You're good.
Shiki Ryogi : You'll never change... You know right? SHIKI hated that part of you.
Mikiya Kokutou : Shiki, no, I...
[Shiki hangs up the phone. She made the phone call from Mikiya's apartment]

Touko Aozaki : His Origin have been awakened? What a farewell gift Araya left us.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Bringing her a cup of coffee] What origin do we talk about?
Touko Aozaki : Do you think you had a past life?
Touko Aozaki : I Don't say no, but neither I don't say yes.
Touko Aozaki : If you remove the concept of spirit, soul and life... Everything is reincarnated into something...
[Using Matryoshka dolls as an example]
Touko Aozaki : The previous life of your previous life and before. Apply the principle of chance to follow the continuous chain of stocks...
[Taking the smaller doll]
Touko Aozaki : ... to the point of departure of your soul. there is a place donce began your existence.
[Opening the smaller doll, showing that it's empty]
Touko Aozaki : But there is no life there. the only thing is the initial factor. Only one direction that determines things. This chaotic impulse is what magicians call origin. In short, are your instincts. but the origin is only one factor and not something to take control of someone. As long as you do not know it somehow.
Mikiya Kokutou : Then you use the directionality when you're aware of it?
Touko Aozaki : Lio Shirazumi can only repeat his instincts. Although consummation is a strange impulse. I can understand why Araya noticed him.
[Rising from her desk]
Touko Aozaki : Look, Kokutou, whether his origin is the consummation, will have been a predator in his previous lives. When your origin awake, you get all your previous lives. You should consider Lio Shirazumi as a group of beasts rather than as a human being. While his personality as Lio stay, nothing happens, but it will become a group of animals when he disappears. It's interesting and weird at the same time.
Mikiya Kokutou : Is because that Araya, right? he doesn't could have been done to himself.
Touko Aozaki : Ah, right? The spell to awaken the origin, is a secret spell that requires the consent from sorcerer and the target. Lio shirazumi elected that. He became a beast his own free will and is killing people by his own will. is too late.
-
Mikiya Kokutou : Touko, why one person kills another person?
Touko Aozaki : It happens when you feel towards someone exceeds your ability, Whether love or hate, the feeling that overflows from your container must be cleaned in one way or another. When this method becomes extreme, it becomes murder.
Mikiya Kokutou : But there's people who kill without that.
Touko Aozaki : That's not assassination, is slaughter. It only becomes assassination when people put their dignity and their past in a balance and removes one. Then loads the importance and the sin of to kill someone, but the slaughter is different. The one who dies is a human being, but the killer has no such dignity and ceases to be a human
Mikiya Kokutou : Killing someone means to kill oneself. So, what is a serial manic?
Touko Aozaki : It is what it sounds like. is a maniac that kills people, so it's like a natural disaster. Those involved are unfortunate.
-
Mikiya Kokutou : [Taking his personal belongings] I'm sorry I bothered you.
Touko Aozaki : Are you leaving?
Mikiya Kokutou : Yes
Touko Aozaki : OK. So I guess it would be impolite to stop you.
[Seeing Mikiya leaving her office]
Touko Aozaki : Goodbye, Kokutou. If we are predestined, we will meet tomorrow.
-
Lio Shirazumi : [Noticing that someone is in his photo lab] Long time no see. Has it been three years, right? Kokutou.
[Mikiya notices his presence]
Lio Shirazumi : You have arrived faster than I thought. I didn't think you would go up so soon. Have I fucked up?
Lio Shirazumi : No. But there was a clue. In November I researched the list of tenants from the Ogawa apartment complex and your name was there. You were there, so you had something to do with Shiki in some way. Right, Lio Shirazumi?
Lio Shirazumi : Araya's trick was not interesting. It seems that you know everything. Yes, it was three years ago. It was no coincidence to find when you were on the way to Shiki Ryogi's home . I stopped you there because I wanted to show you one of her crime scenes. I could not bear that you were her victim without telling you about her true nature.
Mikiya Kokutou : You are taking up the crimes from four years ago.
Lio Shirazumi : [Evasive] But four years ago I was not the murderer, Shiki was...
Mikiya Kokutou : [Interrupting him] Don't lie, Lio...
[Bouncing LSD blotters]
Mikiya Kokutou : Is this what you wanted to do?
[Noticing that Lio has lost his left arm]
Mikiya Kokutou : Your arm...
Lio Shirazumi : Shiki Ryogi did it to me.
[Looking for a drug vial in a drawer]
Lio Shirazumi : I thought that losing the arm was not much, but it's taking a while to heal. I guess this is what killing means.
Mikiya Kokutou : Why have you committed so many murders?
Lio Shirazumi : I don't kill for fun.
Mikiya Kokutou : So why?
Lio Shirazumi : Because my origin has been awakened by a demon with a human face known as Souren Araya. Kokutou, My origin is consuming. As my origin has awakened, I have to eat. I'm a homicidal maniac that consumes people.
Mikiya Kokutou : Lio, Are you alright? You don't behave normally.
Lio Shirazumi : Don't worry, let me go. This may be my last formal talk with you.
[to Mikiya]
Lio Shirazumi : I need her, Shiki the killer... But you...
[Approaching Mikiya]
Lio Shirazumi : With you, Shiki will not come to my world. all I have is her, but...
Mikiya Kokutou : No... Let's see Touko, Maybe she can do something...
Lio Shirazumi : [Rising to his knees before Mikiya] No. I'm special. But at this step... You are good. Yes, you were always by my side... The one who can control me right now must be for you. I'm a murderer. I'm not Normal.
Mikiya Kokutou : Please don't say that.
Lio Shirazumi : I feel powerless...
Mikiya Kokutou : That's not true.
Lio Shirazumi : You're rigth
[Grabbing Mikiya and throwing him against a wall]
Lio Shirazumi : Don't look for me anymore! The next time I'll have to kill you!
[Breaks the glass of a window and escapes]

[Recalling the events from 1996]
Shiki Ryogi : [Voice Over] It was the dream of Shiki and SHIKI... My self and my other self. It's just a painful dream that I can never have.
Shiki Ryogi : [as SHIKI] Why? It hurts to be with you. You show me all I can never have, and you make me feel insecure. So I have to kill you.
Mikiya Kokutou : But SHIKI...
Shiki Ryogi : I MUST KILL YOU! But I can't. You are our dream.
Mikiya Kokutou : Dream?
Shiki Ryogi : If I can't make you disappear... I will have to disappear.
[She runs and Mikiya chases her, she stops at a crossroads]
Shiki Ryogi : [Voice Over] "Thanks, I can't kill you". Those were the last words from SHIKI's mind. SHIKI, who was interested in the murders... could not even say those words to him.
[In slow motion, SHIKI smiles at Mikiya, then she falls back]
Shiki Ryogi : Is a bit sad...
[SHIKI is hit by a incoming car at high speed]
-
Lio Shirazumi : [Mikiya wakes up after being ambushed and clubbed by Lio] I told you that don't look for me. So the thing is over.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Bruised] You...
Lio Shirazumi : But I'm surprised. I didn't think you were so hard. The first guy I killed four years ago died after a single stroke.
[Stepping on Mikiya's thigh, making him scream]
Lio Shirazumi : I should have start with you. I wouldn't have become a murderer if I had. But I'm happy, you keep looking for me. I know you're my classmate, Give you Shiki would be a waste. I just need you, be my friend.
Mikiya Kokutou : You don't know how to make friends.
-
Mikiya Kokutou : You're the one that killed the four guys on Monday.
Lio Shirazumi : Oh, yes, what a problem. I made them attack her, but Ryogi not crossed the line. All because you don't let her go,
[Pulling out the Shiki's dagger]
Lio Shirazumi : While you're in this world, Ryogi will not cross. So, Join us or die.
Mikiya Kokutou : [Realizing that is the Shiki's knife] Shiki, You might not...
Lio Shirazumi : Worry about yourself before worrying about others.
[Stabs Mikiya in the thigh, making him scream louder]
-
Mikiya Kokutou : [after spending several months in the hospital] So... Then don't you come to visit me? Not even once?
Shiki Ryogi : Azaka got angry with me. She said she would kill me if I showed up at the hospital. So I couldn't go.
Mikiya Kokutou : Well, that's a good reason.
