Deadend Game

Deadend Game

A friend recently introduced me to Thanatos' character song from Saint Seiya Lost Canvas, asking me if Yuri listens to it (commenting it was literally the voice of Thanatos) 🥰😂

When I heard it I thought it was a perfect companion piece to "Thanatos no Koe o Kike" and immediately had to translate.
