[English Subtitles] Zero Terra /001 CRUD 『クラド』
Parallel lines. Opposites. Things which should never meet come together. In the wake of a scandal, Arato Nikkuni is demoted from his elite government job and transferred to the remote island of Izumosuito. There he encounters the grand casino CRUD, and its young yakuza boss, Yuki Tensho. Inexplicably drawn to one another, their beliefs clash, and the two soon become embroiled in a life-or-death power struggle. On top of it all, Izumosuito happens to be home to a powerful supernatural force, sealed away at the bottom of the sea...
CRUD is a series of original plays, produced by theater troupe Zero Terra since 2022. A part of the Japanese genre of "entertainment theater," the series takes many influences from 2.5D, as well as mythology, history, and literature. My English translation of part 1 is linked below.

I'm a massive fan of the author (Yu Akahoshi), and this translation is made with the utmost respect and admiration for their work. I'd love it if more people worldwide could enjoy these productions someday.
I am providing subtitles only, no video. The subs are timed for the DVD and Blu-ray release. Download here. Special thanks to CheapestThrill for reviewing my translation. Check out their own work here.
Enjoy!
