Okay, thanks to the awesome sumeragimikoto we managed to piece together a script for the Tokyo Babylon 1999 movie. Sadly though the script is missing some tiny bits here and there. So it would be awesome if someone else were to come to our help and help us to fill the missing sentences so as to have a complete script.

Therefore, if you can, please

Well, we've to thanks sumeragimikoto for it but sadly there are still bits untranslated... ;_;

Ahhh thank you for the translation sumeragimikoto and thank you JJ for sharing! The movie has always made me wonder whether it really did occur between the timeline of Tokyo Babylon and X...or was this just a cheap way to make money from fans back then *shrugs*...however this made me remember one thing I genuinely find confusing till today

I think originally the CLAMP planned to insert it into the continuity... the somehow forgot about it to follow other plans.

It's a thing that puzzled many people, me included. My personal answer is that there should be a reason for Hokuto to think that Seishiro would use that way and only that way to kill Subaru.
Likely it's something related to Japanese mentality or traditions or something I can't figure.

So for a Japanese viewer it's extremely easy to understand why Hokuto would do that as Seishiro technically shouldn't consider other options (no idea why but let's assume they would be ultimately extremely dishonourable or that there would be consequences with the Sakanagi or the spirit world or whatever) while us, western fans, are completely clueless about why Seishiro couldn't just buy a gun and shot Subaru.

Sadly so far although I've searched for an explanation I hadn't found none.
I've wrote some speculations here but I'm sorry but I've to admit I can't give you a definitive answer

Ah, thanks JJ! I read your tumblr entry, and I have to say it's VERY intriguing. And your speculations do make sense...Seishirou apologising to Subaru for his crimes by committing suicide...so fascinating! However, I do have to ask wouldn't it be even more dishonourable (especially to the Sakurazukamori clan) to not kill Subaru? After all he did see Seishirou at work, and surely honourable death or not, Subaru couldn't easily walk away from it. And failing to do that, wouldn't it also mean Seishirou had to die immediately to be replaced by someone more worthy of the Sakurazukamori title. Also, I always assumed Seishirou wanted to die at the hands of Subaru because well he wanted to die at the hands of the person he loves...and also so that he could happily say that he "owns" Subaru. :P

I think it's okay for Seishiro to decide who he should and should not kill. In fact in this movie he decides not to kill the girls twice, first because he thought it wouldn't be necessary, then the girls cause troubles he considers killing them but then he let Subaru deal with them even if they had seen him
