omaewokorosuPrevious episodes.
Previously on Weiss Kreuz...
Masafumi drank some shit, turned into a tentacle monster that promptly tried to kill everyone and maybe, just maybe, he unleashed the Kraken. Schreient and Weiss fought, shit exploded and caught on fire, and we ended the episode with this, which left Jayden very happy indeed.
IN THIS EPISODE, we meet Takatori Hirofumi, the less faily of the Takatori siblings. Which says a lot, really. Hirofumi likes to hunt.
A SHOT OF THE SKY. And some birds fleeing from trees. Then we have some hunting dogs and people following them until they lead us to a bush and an injured dude. THEY POUNCE, holding the guy down.
Guy 1: Impressive!
Guy 2: Young people these days don't have any balls.
Meanwhile Hirofumi is just going to stand here and watch with a smile on his face. I NEVER SAID ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY WAS NICE, OKAY.
"Mr. Hirofumi, I'd like to hunt a female," this guy says with a lecherous grin on his face.
Hirofumi doesn't respond to it, just pulls out a gun from Hammerspace and offers it to the guy behind him, asking if he'd like to finish the guy off. He declines.
WELL MORE FOR ME, says Hirofumi, and he points the gun at the victim's face and yeah, you can see what happens next. Hirofumi has a really freaky face when he's about to kill someone. Kind of like >8)
I only get excited when Schwarz shoot things I guess, because I'm a little meh about this. Fear not, there will gun fights coming up. He shoots the guy.
Bruder - brother
funny story: as a kid, my brother taught me some basic German words, like words for colours, familial terms (Bruder, Schwester, etc.)... Stuff like that. (And then he refused to tell me what "Zwitter" meant, because yeah, your eight year old sister is listening to Rammstein and she's curious, and if you don't tell her, she'll look it up in her German dictionary.) So then I watched G Gundam, and there's this guy named Schwarz Bruder and I wanted to know who the fuck would name their kid "dark brother".
now I just want to know what the hell the Japanese's fascination with German words is.
/cool story bro
oh and if you umlaut the 'u' you get 'brothers'. Same thing with "Mutter". Isn't German easy?Why the hell can't I seem to learn it from textbooks?
So here we are treated to a scene coloured in sepia, like the opening scenes for Wizard of Oz until Dorothy opens the door into Oz and BAM colour. There is a little boy running and he kind of looks like Shota from episode seven. His name is Mamoru, and no, he does not run around throwing roses at bad guys. He's running towards some guy in the distance, but trips and falls halfway there. This guy brushes Mamoru off and runs off to Seto Kaiba, who is ripping wings off of butterflies. He then turns into that monster thing Masafumi turned into last episode, and Mamoru is understandably pants-shittingly frightened.
Omi wakes up screaming and covered in sweat, because goddammit, what a nightmare! He has no idea why the hell people keep calling him "Mamoru" in his dreams when "Omi" isn't even remotely close, and it must have to do with those pesky memories. Damn memories. The guy who resembled Kaiba was actually a younger Masafumi, who was apparently always a little off. It all has to do with this picture he has, a family picture where some unidentified woman is holding him and, wow, Masafumi always did look like he was going to turn out to be a mad scientist. He goes off to Google--or something--to find out who the hell this "Mamoru" person is. But first, some shit about Masafumi and the others.
Masafumi was the second son of Takatori Reiji, which means that Hirofumi is older and, well, that explains why Masafumi is the failure. He just can't compare to his big brother. I know how these things work, as someone with two older brothers, one usually shadows over the other, and it's usually the older of the two, because he was first. Hirofumi is Takatori's assistant. In evil, one would assume. Which means he knows more about what Takatori is involved with than Masafumi does, because clearly Takatori didn't tell Masafumi much to begin with.
They have a younger brother named Mamoru, which I told you before in the last episode, and there's no info since he's been missing for a while now and is probably dead. But he's not, and we'll get to that later, I promise. Omi doesn't know what to make of this information.
KONEKO.
Omi's putting together a rose bouquet when he stifles a yawn.
"What's up, pretty boy?" asks Yohji.
"What?"
"I know, you were on the internet all night, weren't you? No use hiding it, you're more perverted than you look, huh? You know it's illegal to look at those sites if you're under eighteen."
"What are you talking about?"
ffffffff
Ouka walks into the Koneko and clears her throat because Yohji is, uh, kind of all over Omi at this point. Omi looks at Yohji's hand and they hastily move away from each other, both of them a little embarrassed. Remember what I said about touching when others are around in Japan? It's considered intimate and something only close friends do, and you don't do it in front of strangers. Or customers.
However if you have slash goggles on, you'll take it as a different way.
HAI OUKA, says Yohji, all bright and cheerful. Ouka, as is her way, completely ignores him and just heads for Omi. How rude.
"I've come to confirm about next week."
"What?" Omi asks, genuinely confused.
"There's going to be a huge party with the VIP's from foreign governments and other ambassadors next week. Omi, you will be my date."
Notice how he has no choice in the matter.
I'M NO GOOD AT THESE THINGS, says Omi.
ARE YOU SAYING YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR ME?
I DO HAVE A JOB AND EVERYTHING, I CAN'T JUST RUN OFF WITH YOU WHENEVER THE HELL YOU FEEL LIKE IT.
OH, I GET IT. HERE I AM FORCING YOU--HUMBLY ASKING YOU TO COME WITH ME AGAINST YOUR WILL TO THIS PARTY, AND YOU ARE REJECTING ME. OMI. ARE YOU GAY?
guys, guys, I promise you will like Ouka, or at least be able to tolerate her. I promise.
"She was being humble?" mutters Ken to Aya. LOL.
"When?" asks Omi.
"Never mind. I wanted to show you the world that a normal civilian would never see. Omi, you suck!"
wow. Wow.
She flounces.
"Hey, she's leaving, are you sure?" Yohji asks.
"I don't really care."
"Checking girls out on the web is one thing, but you should go out with a real girl every now and then."
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT, YOHJI? Omi asks, and Aya is actually kind of amused by all this. And then he sees Manx.
WEISS, YOU HAVE A NEW MISSION. THERE IS AN UNDERGROUND HUNTING CLUB WHERE HUMANS ARE BEING HUNTED. INNOCENTS ARE BEING VICTIMISED. THE CULPRITS ARE JOHNNY DEPP, SOME BALD GUY, DICK VAN DYKE, AND MOUSTACHE GUY. GO KICK SOME ASS.
Johnny Depp is Hirofumi Takatori, fyi. I just really like the outtakes.
"Another Takatori?" asks Yohji.
"Does he have anything to do with the other one?" Ken asks.
I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING, says Manx. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT THEY ARE BAD, BAD MEN. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DENY PARTICIPATION IN THE MISSION.
Aya immediately gives his yes, because TAKATORI. "Are there any leads?"
Apparently most of the victims disappeared in the Roppongi area, and they were probably picked up somewhere, like a club. So if someone offers to be the bait, they can make contact with the target and then, well, another Takatori bites the dust.
I'LL DO IT, says Aya.
FUCK YOU, AYA, I'LL DO IT, offers Omi.
WHAT THE FUCK, OMI, YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT.
SHUT UP, AYA, YES I CAN. I'M IN WEISS AFTER ALL, NOT JUST SOME RANDOM KID.
he has a point, Aya.
SCENE CHANGE. We spot Ouka shopping for some shit when she spots Omi in, what else, a cream coat and--are those Schuldig's sunglasses on your head, Omi? I think he's looking for those... So Ouka decides to surprise Omi by following Omi into the club where shit is going to go down. Omi obviously left his jacket at the door and he looks like a backup dancer for Madonna and, no, really, Omi, you should give those sunglasses back to Schuldig before he comes after you. He stares at some guy with lots of piercing and dreadlocks. I guess he's never gone clubbing before. There's mostly normal looking people except for this suspicious looking guy in a suit.
Remember, I said back in episode two to never trust anyone wearing a suit. Especially in a place where everyone's wearing casual clothing. Omi's wandering around, scouting out people with a drink in his hand. Two girls spot him and grab him, asking if he's alone.
"I'm always alone." Now if, say, Yohji or Aya said that, I'd be all *_* but since it's Omi I can't help but laugh because he really can't do seductive. Because he doesn't know how to pick up girls. Might as well've had Ken do this mission!
"Well, how about the three of us tonight?" Oooh, Omi's first threesome!
LET GO OF ME! shouts a voice. Surprise, surprise, it's Ouka.
"You came to have some fun, right?" asks some guy who dares to have his hand on Ouka. We have a guy who kind of looks like a really young Mario Lopez, some guy who looks stereotypical metrosexual club goer, and then some guy with an orange mohawk.
If it looks orange on Sain, it's orange, okay?
NO FUCK YOU, Ouka says.
HEY GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER, Omi says.
FUCK OFF, says Mohawk.
SHE'S NOT YOUR GIRL, says Mario Lopez.
YES I AM, says Ouka, and she clings to him to prove it. Omi blushes.
SHE'S WITH A MAN, LET'S GO.
I wouldn't call Omi a "man", more like a kid still since he's only seventeen. But whatever.
Ouka's disappointed there was no fight over her.
Omi: WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Ouka: HAVING FUN, MR. STICK IN THE MUD.
Omi: YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH AYA. AND ANYWAY, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
Ouka: FFF I CAN DANCE. WATCH!
So Ouka drags Omi away so they can dance to...I think "Velvet Underworld". I don't have the sound on, so I don't really care. For all I know, they're dancing to "Forget Me Not" by The Civil Wars.
Omi: BUT I CAN ONLY DANCE TO MADONNA!
So Omi just stands there like a derp while Ouka dances her ass off. And then I guess they start playing Madonna because he starts dancing. Or maybe he couldn't recognise a Weiss song when he hears it. Who knows?
So two chicks talk with Suspicious Guy In A Suit and Omi's all OH SHIT GOTTA JET. Ouka keeps him to dance, though. Blah blah, dance montage. And of course, the club applauds their good dancing, and then Omi's really, truly gotta run or he'll miss his chance. But Ouka wants to kiss him, and he doesn't mind it...except MISSION, OMI!
Aya should've gone.
Omi shoves Ouka out of the club, saying she needs to go home, but she wants him to walk her home. NO THAT'S OKAY, YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF. GO STRAIGHT HOME, OKAY? OKAY.
He goes back into the club and has some orangey looking thing. I'M BORED AS HELL.
WHERE'S YOUR DATE? It's Suspicious Guy!
DATE? WHAT DATE? I'M A LONER, MAN. WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO FOR FUN?
RIGHT THIS WAY, SIR.
Ouka decides to follow Omi because love makes you do really stupid shit which is why love is for fools and will get you shot in the head I mean. I think that's only if you sleep with a Mr. Crawford, though.
RIGHT INSIDE THIS ROOM, says Suspicious.
IS THERE A CASINO? I LOVE GAMBLING!
Well there are two girls tied up, so I would say it's not a casino. They're the girls who were trying to get a threesome with Omi.
The guy sprays something into Omi's eyes and he blacks out.
I repeat, Omi: if you lose those sunglasses, Schuldig will kill you. And it won't be painless because you lost his sunglasses.
He wakes up in some sort of moving...something. A truck, probs. With sunglasses intact, thank god. He's tied up and in a truck, like I said. It's heading for Mount Fuji, which, as I mentioned in a previous episode, has a forest at the base of it nicknamed the Suicide Forest. They find dead bodies every day.
"Good morning, Omi."
It's Ouka. She got herself kidnapped with him.
Love really does make you do utterly stupid shit.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Ouka looks around and finds all the people they met in the club in the truck, knocked out and tied up, including Metro, Mohawk, and Mario Lopez.
OHAI GAIZ, GUESS WHAT, YOU'RE ALL HUNTING PREY. WHEN WE GET TO THIS FOREST, WE'LL LET YOU GO, AND YOU WILL RUN FOR YOUR LIVES AND HOPE YOU DON'T DIE. ANY QUESTIONS? NO? HAVE FUN :D
EYECATCHER. And it's Omi.
We open this scene with a white Porsche and a Seven behind that. And if you've been paying attention thus far, you will remember Aya drives a Porsche, and Yohji owns a Seven. Aya's got a tracer on Omi and they're stalking him so they can find this Hirofumi Takatori fucker and kill him. Ken is driving shotgun with Aya, only because probably if Yohji was shotgun, he'd be touching Aya's gearshift or something. Ken's not like that, though, so.
"I wonder why Omi wanted to take on such a dangerous role?" Ken wonders.
THOSE EYES OF OMI'S. SOMETHING IS GOING ON.
really.
BACK TO THE KRAKENHAUS--I mean, the truck.
Takatori Hirofumi... Masafumi... and Mamoru. BUT WHY? Omi wonders. WHY? WHY AM I SO BOTHERED?
Because they're your--
SCENE CHANGE to this nice estate in the mountains somewhere. This is the hunting ground. Moustache is petting his dog and going on about how if humans were as devoted as dogs, the world would be a better place or some shit.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TRAINING, says Other Guy. IF HIROFUMI'S DAD BECOMES PRIME MINISTER, THE COUNTRY WILL BE A BETTER PLACE.
PLEASE SUPPORT MY FATHER FOR THE ELECTION, Hirofumi says. BECAUSE. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
And then they talk about how they're gonna rig the election because CONNECTIONS, HIROFUMI HAS SOME. They talk about the primaries and about potential problem people, and Takatori doesn't have to worry about these people, he can make them have "unfortunate accidents".
Hirofumi gets a fax of pictures, pictures of girls. Wherein he says he's arranged for several females, even though there's only three.
OHOHOHO, says Moustache.
THEY'RE HERE, says Hirofumi.
Everyone is released and uh, basically told to run. They're shot at when they don't. Omi takes Ouka and runs off in a different direction from everyone else, because why not? The dogs are released and the hunting game has begun! Ouka trips and Ouka says LEAVE WITHOUT ME and he's all OKAY. He goes back and drags her along because, you know, they're gonna die otherwise.
MEANWHILE WEISS ARE IN PLACE TO INFILTRATE and are waiting for the right minute. Which Ken and Yohji agree should be now, but Aya tells them to wait for Omi's signal.
"We're not here to save lives."
He has a point, you know. That's not your job.
MEANWHILE, a dog grabs hold of some guy and Ouka decides to beat the dog off with a stick. They lunge and attack her instead. Two darts from Omi take them out, and he asks Ouka, "What were you thinking?"
That's what everyone wants to know.
So some hunter guy takes aim at Ouka and Omi, so Omi picks Ouka up and runs off so they don't, you know, die. It takes the shooter guy a minute to realise this before shooting either at Omi's foot or at someone else, I can't really tell which.
WATERFALL AND A CAVE, where Omi and Ouka are hiding. She smiles at him and then winces because, uh, huge gash in her shoulder is hurting. Omi opens her blouse and whoa, Omi, now's not the time for that! He removes her blouse from the injured shoulder and I guess puts something onto a cloth and places that on the wound. I guess Omi carries a first aid kit or something on him, or maybe he MacGuyver'd something from the local flora into a medicinal paste and slathered that on to his handkerchief. I don't know. She winces because OUCH THAT SHIT STINGS. The blood magically soaks into it and Ouka remarks that it hurts.
"It means that you're alive."
wtf kind of response is that, Omi. Seriously. I would've said something like THE BURNING SENSATION MEANS THAT THE ANTISEPTIC IS WORKING.
So he buttons her blouse up again and she's worried that it's gonna leave a hideous scar.
"I bet you don't like girls who have scars."
OH YOU'LL BE FINE, he reassures, as he ties his makeshift bandage to her shoulder with his ascot-bandana-thing. "You'll be able to wear a sleeveless dress at next week's party."
Just my personal preference, but I love scars. I give all my badass characters scars because, hey, if you've gotten in a number of fights, there are going to be marks. I recall writing a sex scene between Crawford and Schuldig where Crawford licks Schuldig's scars.
...you're welcome.
"So you'll come with me?"
WELL SURE. SO DON'T DIE ON ME OKAY?
So then Omi basically gives Ouka something to knock her unconscious. Who the hell would carry this kind of stuff on them? Does Omi go around putting these things in people's drinks or something? Is that how he stole Schuldig's sunglasses? I bet he had to explain to Crawford why the hell he was passed out on the grass somewhere. Anyway, once she's nice and unconscious and he's draped his coat over her, he sends out his signal for the rest of Weiss to do what they do best. So then we get some pretty shots of Weiss and then it's time to pwn the targets. Moustache is looking for some prey whens someone runs past, rustling the leaves and stuff. He trips over a trip wire and lands his neck on a noose that Yohji pulls, effectively stringing him up a tree. Death by asphyxiation. What a way to go.
Omi: HAY YOHJI WHERE IS EVERYONE
Yohji: Uhh, they're completing the mission?
Omi: Oh.
Yohji: What took you so long to signal for us?
Omi: There's a girl I hid in a cave over there. I drugged her with some pills. Take her back to Tokyo for me.
Yohji: what
Omi: She's pretty.
Yohji: OH WELL IN THAT CASE.
lol.
Meanwhile those two girls who wanted a threesome with Omi are screaming for someone to help them, because uh yeah. They're being chased by men with hunting rifles. I'd run too. Ken jumps Dick van Dyke from the bushes and Shining Fingers him to death, and instead of seeing blood and shit, we are treated to a beautiful shot of a waterfall. Bald Guy is hearing things and looking a bit paranoid. I'd look a little paranoid if I wore knee high socks with loafers and shorts too. He stumbles on one of the hunting dogs, dead of course, and we are treated to a shiny leather boot with seemingly useless buckles on it. Aya slices the guy in half and he lands in the water, dead. Hirofumi watches this from the bushes and decides to GTFO and who can blame him? It's not like he has awesome bodyguards like his father and younger brother.
He sits down and decides to have a cigar. Might as well. It's not like anyone would follow him to his lodge, right?
"Takatori Hirofumi!"
If you expected Aya to jump from the ceiling, you are wrong. It's actually Omi.
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
DROP YOUR GUN OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE A CROSSBOW BOLT IN YOUR FACE.
DROPPING MY GUN LIKE A COWARD, SEE?
OKAY I'M GONNA ASK THE QUESTIONS AROUND HERE, BUDDY. YOU HAVE BROTHERS, DON'T YOU? ONE WAS A CREEPY SCIENTIST DUDE, AND THE OTHER TURNED UP MISSING, DIDN'T HE? ANSWER ME, DAMMIT.
Wow, Omi. Wow.
IT'S YOU. YOU'RE MAMORU.
WAIT WHAT
Omi I am pretty sure the audience is just as confused as you are.
I'M YOUR BIG BROTHER, REMEMBER? WE USED TO PLAY TOGETHER ALL THE TIME. AND THEN ONE DAY YOU WEREN'T THERE ANYMORE AND FATHER REFUSES TO TALKABOUT IT BECAUSE HE IS AN EVIL BASTARD.
Remember Omi's dream from the start of this episode? Yeah, that was Hirofumi.
NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE.
LOOK INTO YOUR HEART, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.
NOOOOOOOOO. And Omi lowers his crossbow.
"When I came back from my studies abroad, you were already gone. Dad said you were dead, but I said he's a lying liar. He said you were kidnapped and killed and I still called bullshit AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS RIGHT SO HAHA FUCK YOU, FATHER."
So Hirofumi expresses his joy and Mamoru's being not dead and the crossbow clatters to the floor once they hug it out like siblings do.
"Brother..."
"Don't leave me again, Mamoru! Let's live together, just us brothers! Let's make Father's dreams come true!"
oh no, you don't want that.
So now Omi's crying and Hirofumi is crying and OHAI AYA AND KEN. They come bursting through the doors and Omi tells Hirofumi to run and then shoves him out of the way. He then takes Hirofumi's gun and points it at Ken and Aya, who probably think by now that Omi's lost all of his marbles.
WHAT THE FUCK, OMI? asks Aya, who is Deeply Concerned.
"Mamoru, I will see you again, right?" And with that, Hirofumi runs, probably off to Takatori. Ken attempts to run after him and Omi threatens to shoot.
"He's... He's my big brother."
Ken: O:
Aya: /DEATH GLARE OF DEATH
Omi: /falls to his knees and sobs
MEANWHILE, Yohji is driving Ouka back to Tokyo.
Ouka: Omi...
Yohji: :| Damn you, Omi!
oh and btw I just noticed that everyone seems to wear their sunglasses on their heads. Was that the Cool Thing to do in the nineties? I think people did it because everyone had them and they're great at acting in place of a headband. I mean I own one pair of sunglasses and...that's what I use them for. Mostly because I need prescription sunglasses if I were to actually use any.
AND THAT IS WHERE THE EPISODE ENDS.
On the next episode of Weiss Kreuz...
Ken: Omi is Hirofumi Takatori's younger brother? Does that make me his sister?
Yohji: I could've told you that.
Omi: Who am I? Who am I...? 24601!
Manx: I think we used that joke before.
oh all right let's have something that isn't from the outtakes.
Omi: My brother is a sadistic criminal!
Aya: You are not Takatori Mamoru. You are Tsukiyono Omi.
The first thing is actual dub dialogue and it made me laugh my arse off. Probably because of how Omi's VA says it. "My brother is a sadistic criminal omg!!!11"
oh and. There will be more pictures in episode eleven. Why? Do I even have to tell you why?
There is Schuldig. ;D

Remember, I said back in episode two to never trust anyone wearing a suit. Especially in a place where everyone's wearing casual clothing. Omi's wandering around, scouting out people with a drink in his hand. Two girls spot him and grab him, asking if he's alone.
"I'm always alone." Now if, say, Yohji or Aya said that, I'd be all *_* but since it's Omi I can't help but laugh because he really can't do seductive. Because he doesn't know how to pick up girls. Might as well've had Ken do this mission!
"Well, how about the three of us tonight?" Oooh, Omi's first threesome!
LET GO OF ME! shouts a voice. Surprise, surprise, it's Ouka.
"You came to have some fun, right?" asks some guy who dares to have his hand on Ouka. We have a guy who kind of looks like a really young Mario Lopez, some guy who looks stereotypical metrosexual club goer, and then some guy with an orange mohawk.
If it looks orange on Sain, it's orange, okay?
NO FUCK YOU, Ouka says.
HEY GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER, Omi says.
FUCK OFF, says Mohawk.
SHE'S NOT YOUR GIRL, says Mario Lopez.
YES I AM, says Ouka, and she clings to him to prove it. Omi blushes.
SHE'S WITH A MAN, LET'S GO.
I wouldn't call Omi a "man", more like a kid still since he's only seventeen. But whatever.
Ouka's disappointed there was no fight over her.
Omi: WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Ouka: HAVING FUN, MR. STICK IN THE MUD.
Omi: YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH AYA. AND ANYWAY, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
Ouka: FFF I CAN DANCE. WATCH!
So Ouka drags Omi away so they can dance to...I think "Velvet Underworld". I don't have the sound on, so I don't really care. For all I know, they're dancing to "Forget Me Not" by The Civil Wars.
Omi: BUT I CAN ONLY DANCE TO MADONNA!
So Omi just stands there like a derp while Ouka dances her ass off. And then I guess they start playing Madonna because he starts dancing. Or maybe he couldn't recognise a Weiss song when he hears it. Who knows?
So two chicks talk with Suspicious Guy In A Suit and Omi's all OH SHIT GOTTA JET. Ouka keeps him to dance, though. Blah blah, dance montage. And of course, the club applauds their good dancing, and then Omi's really, truly gotta run or he'll miss his chance. But Ouka wants to kiss him, and he doesn't mind it...except MISSION, OMI!
Aya should've gone.
Omi shoves Ouka out of the club, saying she needs to go home, but she wants him to walk her home. NO THAT'S OKAY, YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF. GO STRAIGHT HOME, OKAY? OKAY.
He goes back into the club and has some orangey looking thing. I'M BORED AS HELL.
WHERE'S YOUR DATE? It's Suspicious Guy!
DATE? WHAT DATE? I'M A LONER, MAN. WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO FOR FUN?
RIGHT THIS WAY, SIR.
Ouka decides to follow Omi because love makes you do really stupid shit which is why love is for fools and will get you shot in the head I mean. I think that's only if you sleep with a Mr. Crawford, though.
RIGHT INSIDE THIS ROOM, says Suspicious.
IS THERE A CASINO? I LOVE GAMBLING!
Well there are two girls tied up, so I would say it's not a casino. They're the girls who were trying to get a threesome with Omi.
The guy sprays something into Omi's eyes and he blacks out.
I repeat, Omi: if you lose those sunglasses, Schuldig will kill you. And it won't be painless because you lost his sunglasses.
He wakes up in some sort of moving...something. A truck, probs. With sunglasses intact, thank god. He's tied up and in a truck, like I said. It's heading for Mount Fuji, which, as I mentioned in a previous episode, has a forest at the base of it nicknamed the Suicide Forest. They find dead bodies every day.
"Good morning, Omi."
It's Ouka. She got herself kidnapped with him.
Love really does make you do utterly stupid shit.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Ouka looks around and finds all the people they met in the club in the truck, knocked out and tied up, including Metro, Mohawk, and Mario Lopez.
OHAI GAIZ, GUESS WHAT, YOU'RE ALL HUNTING PREY. WHEN WE GET TO THIS FOREST, WE'LL LET YOU GO, AND YOU WILL RUN FOR YOUR LIVES AND HOPE YOU DON'T DIE. ANY QUESTIONS? NO? HAVE FUN :D
EYECATCHER. And it's Omi.
We open this scene with a white Porsche and a Seven behind that. And if you've been paying attention thus far, you will remember Aya drives a Porsche, and Yohji owns a Seven. Aya's got a tracer on Omi and they're stalking him so they can find this Hirofumi Takatori fucker and kill him. Ken is driving shotgun with Aya, only because probably if Yohji was shotgun, he'd be touching Aya's gearshift or something. Ken's not like that, though, so.
"I wonder why Omi wanted to take on such a dangerous role?" Ken wonders.
THOSE EYES OF OMI'S. SOMETHING IS GOING ON.
really.
BACK TO THE KRAKENHAUS--I mean, the truck.
Takatori Hirofumi... Masafumi... and Mamoru. BUT WHY? Omi wonders. WHY? WHY AM I SO BOTHERED?
Because they're your--
SCENE CHANGE to this nice estate in the mountains somewhere. This is the hunting ground. Moustache is petting his dog and going on about how if humans were as devoted as dogs, the world would be a better place or some shit.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TRAINING, says Other Guy. IF HIROFUMI'S DAD BECOMES PRIME MINISTER, THE COUNTRY WILL BE A BETTER PLACE.
PLEASE SUPPORT MY FATHER FOR THE ELECTION, Hirofumi says. BECAUSE. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
And then they talk about how they're gonna rig the election because CONNECTIONS, HIROFUMI HAS SOME. They talk about the primaries and about potential problem people, and Takatori doesn't have to worry about these people, he can make them have "unfortunate accidents".
Hirofumi gets a fax of pictures, pictures of girls. Wherein he says he's arranged for several females, even though there's only three.
OHOHOHO, says Moustache.
THEY'RE HERE, says Hirofumi.
Everyone is released and uh, basically told to run. They're shot at when they don't. Omi takes Ouka and runs off in a different direction from everyone else, because why not? The dogs are released and the hunting game has begun! Ouka trips and Ouka says LEAVE WITHOUT ME and he's all OKAY. He goes back and drags her along because, you know, they're gonna die otherwise.
MEANWHILE WEISS ARE IN PLACE TO INFILTRATE and are waiting for the right minute. Which Ken and Yohji agree should be now, but Aya tells them to wait for Omi's signal.
"We're not here to save lives."
He has a point, you know. That's not your job.
MEANWHILE, a dog grabs hold of some guy and Ouka decides to beat the dog off with a stick. They lunge and attack her instead. Two darts from Omi take them out, and he asks Ouka, "What were you thinking?"
That's what everyone wants to know.
So some hunter guy takes aim at Ouka and Omi, so Omi picks Ouka up and runs off so they don't, you know, die. It takes the shooter guy a minute to realise this before shooting either at Omi's foot or at someone else, I can't really tell which.
WATERFALL AND A CAVE, where Omi and Ouka are hiding. She smiles at him and then winces because, uh, huge gash in her shoulder is hurting. Omi opens her blouse and whoa, Omi, now's not the time for that! He removes her blouse from the injured shoulder and I guess puts something onto a cloth and places that on the wound. I guess Omi carries a first aid kit or something on him, or maybe he MacGuyver'd something from the local flora into a medicinal paste and slathered that on to his handkerchief. I don't know. She winces because OUCH THAT SHIT STINGS. The blood magically soaks into it and Ouka remarks that it hurts.
"It means that you're alive."
wtf kind of response is that, Omi. Seriously. I would've said something like THE BURNING SENSATION MEANS THAT THE ANTISEPTIC IS WORKING.
So he buttons her blouse up again and she's worried that it's gonna leave a hideous scar.
"I bet you don't like girls who have scars."
OH YOU'LL BE FINE, he reassures, as he ties his makeshift bandage to her shoulder with his ascot-bandana-thing. "You'll be able to wear a sleeveless dress at next week's party."
Just my personal preference, but I love scars. I give all my badass characters scars because, hey, if you've gotten in a number of fights, there are going to be marks. I recall writing a sex scene between Crawford and Schuldig where Crawford licks Schuldig's scars.
...you're welcome.
"So you'll come with me?"
WELL SURE. SO DON'T DIE ON ME OKAY?
So then Omi basically gives Ouka something to knock her unconscious. Who the hell would carry this kind of stuff on them? Does Omi go around putting these things in people's drinks or something? Is that how he stole Schuldig's sunglasses? I bet he had to explain to Crawford why the hell he was passed out on the grass somewhere. Anyway, once she's nice and unconscious and he's draped his coat over her, he sends out his signal for the rest of Weiss to do what they do best. So then we get some pretty shots of Weiss and then it's time to pwn the targets. Moustache is looking for some prey whens someone runs past, rustling the leaves and stuff. He trips over a trip wire and lands his neck on a noose that Yohji pulls, effectively stringing him up a tree. Death by asphyxiation. What a way to go.
Omi: HAY YOHJI WHERE IS EVERYONE
Yohji: Uhh, they're completing the mission?
Omi: Oh.
Yohji: What took you so long to signal for us?
Omi: There's a girl I hid in a cave over there. I drugged her with some pills. Take her back to Tokyo for me.
Yohji: what
Omi: She's pretty.
Yohji: OH WELL IN THAT CASE.
lol.
Meanwhile those two girls who wanted a threesome with Omi are screaming for someone to help them, because uh yeah. They're being chased by men with hunting rifles. I'd run too. Ken jumps Dick van Dyke from the bushes and Shining Fingers him to death, and instead of seeing blood and shit, we are treated to a beautiful shot of a waterfall. Bald Guy is hearing things and looking a bit paranoid. I'd look a little paranoid if I wore knee high socks with loafers and shorts too. He stumbles on one of the hunting dogs, dead of course, and we are treated to a shiny leather boot with seemingly useless buckles on it. Aya slices the guy in half and he lands in the water, dead. Hirofumi watches this from the bushes and decides to GTFO and who can blame him? It's not like he has awesome bodyguards like his father and younger brother.
He sits down and decides to have a cigar. Might as well. It's not like anyone would follow him to his lodge, right?
"Takatori Hirofumi!"
If you expected Aya to jump from the ceiling, you are wrong. It's actually Omi.
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
DROP YOUR GUN OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE A CROSSBOW BOLT IN YOUR FACE.
DROPPING MY GUN LIKE A COWARD, SEE?
OKAY I'M GONNA ASK THE QUESTIONS AROUND HERE, BUDDY. YOU HAVE BROTHERS, DON'T YOU? ONE WAS A CREEPY SCIENTIST DUDE, AND THE OTHER TURNED UP MISSING, DIDN'T HE? ANSWER ME, DAMMIT.
Wow, Omi. Wow.
IT'S YOU. YOU'RE MAMORU.
WAIT WHAT
Omi I am pretty sure the audience is just as confused as you are.
I'M YOUR BIG BROTHER, REMEMBER? WE USED TO PLAY TOGETHER ALL THE TIME. AND THEN ONE DAY YOU WEREN'T THERE ANYMORE AND FATHER REFUSES TO TALKABOUT IT BECAUSE HE IS AN EVIL BASTARD.
Remember Omi's dream from the start of this episode? Yeah, that was Hirofumi.
NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE.
LOOK INTO YOUR HEART, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.
NOOOOOOOOO. And Omi lowers his crossbow.
"When I came back from my studies abroad, you were already gone. Dad said you were dead, but I said he's a lying liar. He said you were kidnapped and killed and I still called bullshit AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS RIGHT SO HAHA FUCK YOU, FATHER."
So Hirofumi expresses his joy and Mamoru's being not dead and the crossbow clatters to the floor once they hug it out like siblings do.
"Brother..."
"Don't leave me again, Mamoru! Let's live together, just us brothers! Let's make Father's dreams come true!"
oh no, you don't want that.
So now Omi's crying and Hirofumi is crying and OHAI AYA AND KEN. They come bursting through the doors and Omi tells Hirofumi to run and then shoves him out of the way. He then takes Hirofumi's gun and points it at Ken and Aya, who probably think by now that Omi's lost all of his marbles.
WHAT THE FUCK, OMI? asks Aya, who is Deeply Concerned.
"Mamoru, I will see you again, right?" And with that, Hirofumi runs, probably off to Takatori. Ken attempts to run after him and Omi threatens to shoot.
"He's... He's my big brother."
Ken: O:
Aya: /DEATH GLARE OF DEATH
Omi: /falls to his knees and sobs
MEANWHILE, Yohji is driving Ouka back to Tokyo.
Ouka: Omi...
Yohji: :| Damn you, Omi!
oh and btw I just noticed that everyone seems to wear their sunglasses on their heads. Was that the Cool Thing to do in the nineties? I think people did it because everyone had them and they're great at acting in place of a headband. I mean I own one pair of sunglasses and...that's what I use them for. Mostly because I need prescription sunglasses if I were to actually use any.
AND THAT IS WHERE THE EPISODE ENDS.
On the next episode of Weiss Kreuz...
Ken: Omi is Hirofumi Takatori's younger brother? Does that make me his sister?
Yohji: I could've told you that.
Omi: Who am I? Who am I...? 24601!
Manx: I think we used that joke before.
oh all right let's have something that isn't from the outtakes.
Omi: My brother is a sadistic criminal!
Aya: You are not Takatori Mamoru. You are Tsukiyono Omi.
The first thing is actual dub dialogue and it made me laugh my arse off. Probably because of how Omi's VA says it. "My brother is a sadistic criminal omg!!!11"
oh and. There will be more pictures in episode eleven. Why? Do I even have to tell you why?
There is Schuldig. ;D
