Weiss Kreuz Drama CD's

A short note about the Drama CD's:

The translations of these drama cd's are in very high demand so I have decided to provide what I have of Jey Kama's translated work to
you. I have tried to contact Jey Kama for permission to showcase these, but have gotten no reply. You can certainly visit the site where
these were originally hosted, however many of the pages are no longer up and the site has fallen into a bit of disrepair. I have no idea
whether Jey Kama plans on continuing a Weiβ Kreuz site, but I feel that his/her translations of these CD's are fantastic and should be
made available to all so I am posting these without permission in the hopes that Jey Kama will forgive me.

Jey Kama, if you are out there, please know that I am giving you full credit for your translations and a link back to your site. If you
absolutely do not want me to continue hosting these works, let me know and I will understand and take them down.

Any of the other translated works that are not Jey Kama's, I have given credit where I can. If you know where the translations come from
please let me know so that I can contact the owner and/or at least give proper credit.

Thank you,

Characters: Crashers, Ran.

Abstract: Rook botches the mission for Crashers, getting himself injured
in the process. Kritiker recruits Ran to fill the position of Rook while he is
out of commission. This story is about how Ran came to join Crashers,
and develops the relationship he has with Knight in particular. Knight starts
out greatly distrusting the new Rook, but comes to approve of him as they
work on the mission together. The mission involves the ill dealings of the
wealthy Sakakibara family, who are running an illicit prostitution ring from
their mansion home and blackmailing high ranking officials with the
unsavory information they acquire during their transactions.

Timeline: After Aya's Kritiker days and before Kapitel.

Characters: Crashers, Ran, Taiyou (Knight's sister).

Abstract: Ran's experiences under Crashers continues. This time, their
mission requires Knight and Ran to infiltrate the luxury cruise ship Metal
Venus, and to investigate the possible murder of the ship's architect. Much
of the story takes place at the Honjou estate, home of Knight and his sister
Taiyou. Ran meets Taiyou for the "first" time, but it seems this encounter
has some background to it, locked away in the past.

Timeline: Sometime during Kapitel.

Characters: Weiss, Birman, Persia (Takatori Shuuichi).

Abstract: Someone is kidnapping young girls and skinning them to make
dolls from their flesh. Persia orders the execution of those responsible for
the killings. But before Weiss is able to track down these killers, a young
girl Yohji has been talking to is kidnapped right in front of him.

Timeline: Sometime before Kapitel.

Characters: Weiss, Nagi, Crawford, Manx.

Abstract: Someone has been brainwashing young and impressionable
girls, turning them into vigilante killers. Weiss' next target involves the
mastermind behind these murders. This story is Ken-centric, and we get
some background information on how he grew up, with appearances of
his childhood friend Natsuki and Amamiya Kaoruko, the nun who raised
him. In the Schwarz time frame, this is before Crawford takes Nagi from
the orphanage. Nagi is currently being raised by Amamiya, and is quite
attached to her.

Timeline: Sometime during Kapitel (?). The majority of this story is a
flashback to two years ago, when Aya first joined the Sendai division of
Kritiker.

Characters: Weiss, Sendai Kritiker, Manx (as Erika).

Abstract: Aya returns to Sendai two years after his stint there as a Kritiker
agent. This story focuses on the time he spends at the ikebana
classroom of Shion and the Sendai Kritiker group. He trains in kendo
under Shion and has bonding experience with fellow Kritiker agent Kikyo.
His first major mission involves the investigation of a covert S&M club that
kidnaps women and hacks them to pieces for entertainment. Kritiker's
investigation ends in disaster, but two years later, Weiss has returned to
Sendai to finish the job.

Timeline: Sometime during Kapitel.

Characters: Weiss, Momoe.

Abstract: Somewhat Omi-centric. Momoe-san (the old woman who runs
Koneko) moves into a retirement home, which promises great amenities.
Omi misses her and makes frequent visits to see her. During his visits, he
discovers that Momoe-san's long lost boyfriend is also a resident at the
home and tries to get them to reconnect. Meanwhile Persia's next mission
for Weiss involves individuals who kill off the elderly for profit.

Timeline: Sometime after Kapitel (after Endless Rain mission).

Characters: Weiss, Birman, Persia (Karasuma), Kikyo, Shion, Rindou,
Azami, Ayame, Aya-chan, Sakura.

Abstract: Weiss are in Kyoto, selling flowers from their trailer. Aya is having
dreams about Kikyo, his colleague from Sendai Kritiker whom he had to
kill. On the work front, Weiss attempts to complete their latest mission from
Persia - only to discover that someone else has beaten them to the punch.
But this new assassination group is ruthless and do not hesitate to cut
down everyone at the scene, including those who are not the main targets.
Meanwhile, Ken is really beginning to lose it, unable to think of anything
aside from the next mission, the next killing. He meets and befriends a girl
named Reiko, who seems to have much in common with him. Yohji isn't
faring much better, finding himself unable to sleep with a woman without
imagining she's Asuka and finding himself at her throat, literally. He
happens upon a bar and meets the proprietors of the establishment,
Ayame and Azami. Elsewhere in Kyoto, Aya meets a man named Rindou,
who is making a flower arrangement.

Persia orders their next mission, and Ken is shocked to discover that one
of the targets is someone he knows. The mysterious assassins who
interfered their prior mission are back, and this time, Aya recognizes their
leader...

Timeline: Sometime after Kapitel (after Endless Rain mission).

Characters: Weiss, Takatori Saijou, Shion, Rindou, Azami, Ayame,
Aya-chan, Sakura, Birman, Persia (Karasuma).

Abstract: Weiss's moving flowershop now finds itself in Kanagawa, where
the servants of Omi's grandfather request that Omi come visit Saijou at his
home, Tsukiyono Castle. Birman brings them their next mission, which
involves investigating strange events taking place in Tsukiyono Castle,
whereby girls are seen entering and never return. Omi meets his
grandfather for the first time and decides to stay at the mansion to
investigate the premises. Meanwhile Yohji and Ken happen upon Azami
and Ayame. Aya goes to get his sword restored by a master swordsman
and finds himself face to face with Shion.

Timeline: Sometime after Kapitel (after Endless Rain mission)..

Characters: Weiss, Takatori Saijou, Shion, Rindou, Azami, Ayame,
Aya-chan, Sakura, Birman, Persia (Karasuma), Manx.

Abstract: Back in Kyoto. Ayame and Azami are revealed to be killers,
preying on women in particular. Yohji continues to have major issues with
women, and can't seem to get Asuka out of his mind. Manx arrives to report
some bad news - Shion and his team of second generation Weiss
members have teamed up with the Nakatsugawa faction of Kritiker to wipe
out agents in Hiroshima. They have kidnapped Birman and demanded that
the current Persia step down in favor of Nakatsugawa. Manx heads up an
unsuccessful rescue mission, and survives just long enough to give Weiss
their mission: kill Birman so the enemy will never be able to retrieve critical
information from her. Weiss infiltrate Shion's hideout in their attempt to
execute this mission, though they hope to rescue her, instead.

Timeline: Sometime after Kapitel (after Endless Rain mission).

Characters: Weiss, Kikyo, Shion, Rindou, Takatori Saijou, Persia
(Karasuma), Aya-chan, Sakura.

Abstract: Shion and Rindou pay Persia a fatal visit. Meanwhile, Aya is
having recurring nightmares of facing Shion, as Kikyo appears in his
dreams again to tell him that he is the same as Kikyo - a killer. Weiss
receive their final orders from the now deceased Persia - finish
Nakatsugawa, Shion and Rindou. Thereafter, he orders them to wash their
hands of Weiss and live normal lives. Omi seeks out his grandfather for
answers. Saijou cuts of Nakatsugawa from Takatori funds, making himself
a target as well. Rindou arrives to assassinate him, but is thwarted by Omi,
meeting his ends. Elsewhere, Shion has mutinied against Nakatsugawa,
taking him out before sending Aya an invitation to face off once and for all
with his former pupil...

Timeline: After Kapitel but before Glühen.

Characters: Schwarz, Sally, Farblos (Amlisch, Rudolph, Silvia, Sergei).

Abstract: Schwarz are staying in their hideout near Munich, Germany, when
Farfarello brings home Sally, a psi he saved in the midst of her escape
from Rosenkreuz. She is taking refuge in their house when Farblos, a
group of psi assassins from Rosenkreuz, arrive to take her back. But
Farfarello has formed an unusual attachment to the woman and will not
give her up without a fight.

Timeline: After Kapitel but before Glühen.

Characters: Schwarz, Sally, Farblos (Amlisch, Silvia, Sergei).

Abstract: Schwarz have taken Sally and are on the run from Farblos. They
are hiding out aboard their spy ship on the Rhine River near Bonn when
they are discovered. A boat chase ensues, and they manage to escape.
Schuldig suggests that they ditch Sally and Farfarello (if he insists on
staying with her), but Crawford decides that the time has come for
Schwarz's inevitable showdown with Farblos. They choose to take their
stand at the Europort in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Timeline: Sometime during Kapitel.

Characters: Weiss, Manx, Birman.

Abstract: This story is quite...different from the rest of WK, to say the least.
The members of Weiss take a break from their usual work to visit a hot
springs inn owned by Kokomi, an eccentric childhood friend of Manx.
During their stay, they learn of the legend behind a cursed Japanese sword
kept in a nearby cave, and must solve the mystery of a series of murders
that take place thereafter. Total crack humor. This drama cd is not
recommended for those who are opposed to some silly fun.

Timeline: Kapitel, and various periods in the past, in flashback sequences.

Characters: Weiss, Asuka, Manx, Persia (Takatori Shuuichi).

Abstract: The majority of this cd is a series of flashback stories on each of
the Weiss characters. Aya's story takes place soon after Sendai Kritiker
gets wiped out. He is on a mission to find their killers and avenge them.
But Kritiker would rather leave this work up to a special group based in
Tokyo and send Aya to continue his training in Tsushima. Yohji's story is
about his experiences as a P.I. with Murase Asuka, and how they were like
before tragedy hit. The timeline for Ken's story is harder to place, but it's
after his soccer days, and is about his infiltration of a certain underground
revolutionary organization. In Omi's story, he is completing his training for
Weiss and must face a cruel final trial.

Timeline: After Sendai Kritiker's demise, Aya is sent to Tsushima by
Kritiker. Last track moves back to Kapitel.

Characters: Ran, Taiyou, Weiss (last track).

Abstract: Under the guise of a gardener, Ran is sent in as the new leader
of the rural Tsushima division of Kritiker. While there, he works at a
rehabilitation center where he meets and befriends Knight's sister Taiyou.
He saves the center from being taken over by the local Yakuza group, who
were scheming to destroy the center and replace it with a casino. The final
drama track is slightly unrelated to the Tsushima story, but is a slice of life
of Weiss in their day job as florists.

Timeline: Before Kapitel, formation of third generation Weiss.

Characters: Weiss, Marigold / Persia (Takatori Shuuichi), Erika / Manx.

Abstract: Aya, Omi, Ken and Yohji meet for the first time ever at the Koneko
and receive their first mission from Persia. Two computer savvy individuals
and their friend with military connections are engaging in a true life war
game using the internet to recruit their teams. The teams take each other
on and battle until the other team is wiped out. Weiss enters this
competition and use the opportunity to take out their first targets. Their
mission date: Christmas.

Timeline: Two years after the dissolution of third generation Weiss, just
before Glühen.

Characters: Weiss, Kyo.

Abstract: Focusing mainly on the stories of Aya, Yohji and Ken after the
series of events in Dramatic Precious and dissolution of third generation
Weiss. Aya has joined an American assassination group similar to Weiss.
He is called back to Japan by Omi, who has now taken up the reins of the
Takatori empire. He has decided to reestablish Weiss and take on the
responsibilities of the next Persia. Yohji and Ken meanwhile are trying to
pick up the pieces of their lives when Aya tracks them down on behalf of the
new Persia in hopes of recruiting them back to Weiss. There's an
appearance by Kyo, who will eventually join Weiss in Glühen.

Timeline: Third generation Weiss, before Omi recovers his memories.

Characters: Knight, Weiss, Manx, Persia (Takatori Shuuichi), Fortuna.

Abstract: A mission originally in the hands of Crashers is turned over to
the jurisdiction of Weiss. Knight ultimately fails in his personal quest to
avert the execution of his targets, and reluctantly witnesses Aya and
company execute their end of the mission. However, after the completion of
their mission, Kritiker discovers that their main target Sato Taizen had been
a decoy, and that the real Sato has fled to Italy to seek protection under the
mob boss there. Persia sends Weiss to Rome to track down Sato and take
him out. Weiss teams up with Italy's own "Weiss," who go by the name
Fortuna.

Timeline: During Glühen, just after Asami is killed.

Characters: Aya, Yohji, Ken, Sena, Rex, Omi (as Persia / Mamoru).

Abstract: Some portions of this disk overlap with the anime Glühen bits,
where Omi gives the mission to finish off Tsujii and company. The rest of
the story centers on Sena and what he did just before the final mission. He
goes to visit his old home where his family was killed and bumps into an
old friend.

Timeline: Sometime during Glühen.

Characters: Aya, Rex, Knight and Queen.

Abstract: On a winter's eve, colleagues happen upon each other in a jazz
bar and share drinks. Some banter between Ran and Knight as Rex and
Queen argue over whether an assassination team like Weiss is truly
necessary. Knight expresses concern that the former Rook will eventually
fall into the same doomed fate as Shion and Kikyo. But Aya insists that he
won't, and his reason for why does not sit well with Knight...
