SIGN    Episode 7: Forget the Past
[01:39] (Flashback) Yukito
    What are you making?
[01:41] (Flashback) Momoko
    Oh, you're awake?
[01:44] (Flashback) Momoko
    Today's we're eating...
[01:46] (Flashback) Yanagi
    We're back, Momoko-san!
[01:49] Ibuki
    Ow...
[01:50] (Flashback) Kurama
    Are you all right?
[01:50] Yanagi
    I'm hungry. Have you got any food?
[01:53] (Flashback) Yanagi
    We could use a first aid kit, too.
[01:56] (Flashback) Momoko
    Okay!
[01:57] (Flashback) Kurama
    Unbelievable. You're too reckless.
[02:00] (Flashback) Yanagi
    It's just a scratch. It'll heal in no time.
[02:06] (Flashback) Jingi
    Did Aka-nii hurt himself again?
[02:09] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Oh?
[02:10] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Hey, kiddos. Were you good
    while we were gone?
[02:13] (Flashback) Yukito
    Yeah!
[02:16] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Ow...
[02:17] (Flashback) Momoko
    I think you'll be okay, but don't
    push yourself for a little while.
[02:22] (Flashback) Ibuki
    All right.
[02:23] (Flashback) Kurama
    Aka.
[02:23] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Huh?
[02:24] (Flashback) Kurama
    You're too fast to rush in. If you
    underestimate Ara-Mitama—
[02:28] (Flashback) Ibuki
    It was to protect you, since you
    left yourself open to attack.
[02:31] (Flashback) Momoko
    Okay, okay.
[02:31] Ibuki
    Ow!
[02:32] (Flashback) Momoko
    At least stop fighting while
    I'm treating your injuries.
[02:35] (Flashback) Momoko
    Yukito-kun's watching.
[02:37] (Flashback) Yukito
    Are you guys fighting?
[02:40] (Flashback) Ibuki
    No.
[02:42] (Flashback) Kurama
    It's not like that.
[02:43] (Flashback) Jingi
    Yeah, that's right.
[02:45] (Flashback) Jingi
    Haru-nii and Aka-nii are just playing.
[02:48] (Flashback) Jingi
    It's a sign of how well they get along.
[02:50] (Flashback) Kurama
    Oh, shut up.
[02:52] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Don't go filling his head with nonsense.
[02:56] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Aw, c'mon. Don't be shy.
[02:58] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I'm glad you two get along so well.
[03:01] (Flashback) Yanagi
    After all, we're a family.
[03:03] (Flashback) Yukito
    We're a family!
[03:12] (Flashback) Kurama
    ...and the emperor accepted their request.
[03:18] (Flashback) Kurama
    The raging gods across across
    the land were asked to submit,
[03:22] (Flashback) Kurama
    and those who did not were driven out.
[03:25] (Flashback) Kurama
    Those who expressed their discontent,
    as well as the rocks, trees, and grasses,
[03:30] (Flashback) Kurama
    ceased their complaining and fell silent.
[03:33] (Flashback) Kurama
    And so, the emperor left his throne
    in the Plane of High Heaven,
[03:37] (Flashback) Kurama
    parted the clouds, and descended
    to rule over Japan.
[03:43] (Flashback) Kurama
    He established a capital to serve
[03:45] (Flashback) Kurama
    as the center of this land, and
    constructed a splendid palace
[03:50] Kurama
    from which he ruled peacefully with the
    blessings of the gods of the imperial ancestor.
[03:51] (Flashback) Jingi
    Whoa, training already?
    You're both such dedicated students.
[03:56] (Flashback) Jingi
    I mean, you just got back
    from pacifying Mitama.
[04:00] (Flashback) Kurama
    Our master has been the acting priest
    at my shrine for ten years now.
[04:06] (Flashback) Kurama
    I must learn to stand on my own
    two feet as soon as possible.
[04:09] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Jingi, you're an apprentice too,
    though not much of one.
[04:12] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Not only that, but you're skilled
    in water-based Ley Mastery.
[04:15] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Why aren't you training?
[04:16] (Flashback) Jingi
    I'm a secret weapon, you know.
[04:20] (Flashback) Jingi
    I don't need to train so hard.
[04:23] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Wrong.
[04:23] Jingi
    Ow!
[04:25] (Flashback) Yanagi
    You lazybones!
[04:27] (Flashback) Jingi
    Master?
[04:28] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I told you to carefully consider how to use
    your abilities, not skip your training!
[04:34] (Flashback) Jingi
    I was just kidding.
[04:36] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Master.
[04:38] (Flashback) Yanagi
    What is it, Aka?
[04:40] (Flashback) Ibuki
    This isn't what we discussed earlier,
[04:43] (Flashback) Ibuki
    but could you let Haruaki preside over
    the dragon pacifying ritual, after all?
[04:48] (Flashback) Kurama
    Aka.
[04:49] (Flashback) Ibuki
    I'll even back him up, so—
[04:51] (Flashback) Yanagi
    He's not ready yet.
[04:53] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Why not?
[04:55] (Flashback) Ibuki
    We've successfully completed
    numerous rituals at the crater.
[05:00] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Those rituals were just for
    strengthening the barrier.
[05:04] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Pacifying the fire dragon inside is
    a whole other level of difficulty.
[05:09] (Flashback) Ibuki
    But you're always telling Haruaki that he'll
    make a fine priest for Kasen Shrine someday.
[05:17] (Flashback) Kurama
    In the future, yes. But right now...
[05:22] (Flashback) Ibuki
    You're right. You couldn't do it alone.
[05:24] (Flashback) Ibuki
    But together, the two of us can do it.
[05:26] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Isn't that right?
[05:27] (Flashback) Kurama
    Well, it may be possible, but...
[05:34] (Flashback) Yanagi
    There's no rush.
[05:36] (Flashback) Yanagi
    With your skills, you may be able to
    preside over the ritual in a few years.
[05:43] (Flashback) Yanagi
    With help from the enthusiastic Aka and
    Jingi, as well as under my supervision.
[05:51] (Flashback) Kurama
    Yes, Master. I'll do my best.
[05:53] (Flashback) Jingi
    Aw, man. Give me a break.
[05:56] (Flashback) Jingi
    I gotta pacify the fire dragon every
    year so the volcano doesn't erupt?
[06:00] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Don't be like that.
[06:02] (Flashback) Yanagi
    The fire dragon misses the water
    dragon now that he's gone.
[06:12] (Flashback) Yanagi
    He misses him, but all
    he can do is lash out.
[06:15] (Flashback) Yanagi
    He's at risk of becoming an Ara-Mitama.
[06:18] (Flashback) Yanagi
    All we can do is make him settle down
    by sealing him inside the volcano.
[06:22] (Flashback) Kurama
    And we—rather,
[06:24] (Flashback) Kurama
    you conduct the ritual that suppresses
    an eruption until the fire dragon returns.
[06:31] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Yeah. It's an important ritual.
[06:34] (Flashback) Yanagi
    So I can't let you whelps handle it.
[06:39] (Flashback) Yanagi
    You understand that, don't you?
[06:43] (Flashback) Ibuki
    But even as it's suppressed, the fire dragon's
     strength grows to unprecedented levels.
[06:51] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Is suppressing it really
    what we should be doing?
[06:55] (Flashback) Yanagi
    You good with that, Aka?
[06:58] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Yes, Master.
[07:00] (Flashback) Yanagi
    In any case, watch what
    I do closely this year.
[07:04] (Flashback) Yanagi
    You'll need it in the future.
[07:07] (Flashback) Kurama
    Yes, Master!
[07:09] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Yes, Master.
[07:09] (Flashback) Jingi
    Sure.
[07:11] (Flashback) Momoko
    Thanks for waiting.
[07:13] (Flashback) Momoko
    The shaved ice is ready.
[07:15] (Flashback) Momoko
    What flavor syrup do you want?
[07:17] (Flashback) Jingi
    Strawberry for me!
[07:18] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Jingi, you brat! Don't go
    choosing before your master.
[07:22] (Flashback) Yukito
    Shaved ice?!
[07:24] (Flashback) Momoko
    Yanagi-sensei, what would you like?
[07:26] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Gotta be matcha azuki for me.
[07:29] (Flashback) Yanagi
    You're my student. Hand that over.
[07:32] (Flashback) Jingi
    Does it matter that I'm your student now?
[07:34] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Sure it does! I just decided it matters!
[07:36] (Flashback) Jingi
    What the heck?!
[07:39] (Flashback) Yukito
    I want blue Hawaii.
[07:40] (Flashback) Momoko
    Okay. Give me a second.
[07:42] (Flashback) Ibuki
    You sure do love blue stuff.
[07:43] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Hurry up, Jingi! Make some for everyone.
[07:47] (Flashback) Jingi
    Why is that my job?!
SIGN    Reflecting on
     his actions
[08:44] (Flashback) Yanagi
    You've gotten bigger again.
[09:17] Newscaster
    Due to strong winds across Ayaka Island,
    residents are advised to remain indoors.
[09:25] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I can't believe it's started before
    we saw the sign of misfortune.
[09:29] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I'm gonna pop over to the
    mainland to grab a weapon.
[09:32] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Wait for me here.
[09:33] (Flashback) Kurama
    A weapon?
[09:34] (Flashback) Kurama
    You mean the ritual object you had
    custom-made to pacify the fire dragon.
[09:39] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Holding down the fort while our master
    is gone is our job as students.
[09:42] (Flashback) Ibuki
    We'll find a way to manage
    for a little while.
[09:45] (Flashback) Kurama
    Aka.
[09:47] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Man.
[09:49] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I've got a couple of students I can rely on.
[09:52] (Flashback) Momoko
    Come on, you three. Get moving.
[09:55] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Let us handle this, Master.
[09:57] (Flashback) Kurama
    Be careful.
[09:59] (Flashback) Momoko
    We'll see you later.
[10:02] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Yeah.
[10:08] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I'll be back as soon as possible.
[10:38] (Flashback) Kurama
    The Mitama are behaving strangely.
[10:40] (Flashback) Ibuki
    The Fourth Island's influence
    has spread all the way here.
[10:43] (Flashback) Momoko
    This is reckless.
[10:45] (Flashback) Momoko
    We should wait for Yanagi-sensei to return.
[10:47] (Flashback) Ibuki
    We can't afford to do that right now!
[10:49] (Flashback) Ibuki
    That quake must've weakened the seal.
[10:53] (Flashback) Ibuki
    While we're standing around here—
[10:58] (Flashback) Momoko
    It's all right, Yukito-kun.
[11:00] (Flashback) Ibuki
    It's not all right.
    These quakes are just foreshocks.
[11:04] (Flashback) Ibuki
    If an actual eruption occurs,
    it'll destroy all the Ayaka Islands.
[11:08] (Flashback) Momoko
    No...
[11:10] (Flashback) Kurama
    The fire dragon's strength
[11:12] (Flashback) Kurama
    originally grew enough to dry up
    the lake and the water dragon in it.
[11:16] (Flashback) Ibuki
    And because we've been keeping
    him trapped inside a barrier,
[11:19] (Flashback) Ibuki
    he's a bomb that's ready to explode.
[11:22] Kurama
    It'll take time for our master to return.
[11:25] Kurama
    Are we capable of pacifying the fire dragon?
[11:29] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Our only choice is to conduct the dragon
    pacifying ritual while our master is gone.
[11:36] (Flashback) Old Man
    Haruaki, Aka! Tell Momoko-san and
    the kids to evacuate immediately!
[11:41] (Flashback) Old Man
    Head to the harbor!
[11:43] (Flashback) Old Man
    Inou-san will bring a big boat around!
[11:47] (Flashback) Kurama
    Will you help me, Aka?
[11:50] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Yeah.
[11:50] (Flashback) Jingi
    M-Me, too!
[11:54] (Flashback) Jingi
    Me, too...
[11:58] (Flashback) Jingi
    Ow!
[12:00] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Don't make that face.
[12:02] (Flashback) Ibuki
    You're a Ley Master, too.
    Pull yourself together.
[12:06] (Flashback) Kurama
    Each of us will do what he can.
[12:10] (Flashback) Kurama
    You, too, Jingi. Got it?
[12:17] (Flashback) Kurama
    Jingi, stay with Yukito-kun and Momoko-san.
[12:42] (Flashback) Ibuki
    What is this?
[12:43] (Flashback) Kurama
    The power of the fire dragon...
[12:45] (Flashback) Kurama
    Or is the current state of things here
     what they call the fire dragon?
[12:50] (Flashback) Kurama
    If this power overflows...
[12:53] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Then it won't be a bluff this time.
    It really will destroy everything.
[12:57] (Flashback) Kurama
    We can't lose our nerve
    after coming this far.
[13:01] (Flashback) Kurama
    Let's do this, Aka.
[13:04] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Who's lost his nerve?
[13:06] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Let's do this thing, Haruaki.
[13:10] (Flashback) Both
    Dragon god's prayer.
[13:14] (Flashback) Both
    After much discussion,
[13:17] (Flashback) Both
    the gods concluded the emperor should
    create and rule over a peaceful land,
[13:22] (Flashback) Both
    and the emperor accepted their request.
[13:24] (Flashback) Both
    The raging gods across across
    the land were asked to submit...
[13:28] (Flashback) Kurama
    We can do this. Its power is weakening.
[13:34] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Almost there.
[13:35] (Flashback) Both
    Trim the ends of sedge blades, cut them
    into eight pieces, and scatter them.
[13:41] (Flashback) Both
    Then speak the prayer of the heavenly gods.
[13:45] (Flashback) Kurama
    We did it!
[13:46] (Flashback) Ibuki
    That should stop—
[14:29] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Is this...
[14:30] (Flashback) Kurama
    The fire dragon?
[14:38] (Flashback) Kurama
    Aka, the barrier is still holding.
[14:40] (Flashback) Kurama
    Don't be fooled by its size.
[14:43] (Flashback) Kurama
    Let's finish sealing it.
[14:44] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Yeah.
[14:51] (Flashback) Kurama
    The barrier's strong, since it's
    been maintained for generations.
[14:55] (Flashback) Kurama
    As long as we keep pouring
    power into it, it won't break.
[14:59] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Yeah. Again.
[15:02] (Flashback) Ibuki
    This time we'll trap it inside
    a tougher cage than before!
[15:06] (Flashback) Kurama
    We'll protect the island together.
[15:39] (Flashback) Kurama
    Aka!
[15:40] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Don't worry about me! Seal the dragon!
[15:43] (Flashback) Kurama
    But...
[15:47] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Crap!
[15:59] Ibuki
    Even if I burn, Haruaki has to...
[16:03] (Flashback) Kurama
    Aka!
[16:09] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Haruaki, why did you do that?!
[16:12] (Flashback) Ibuki
    You know the seal is more
    important than I am!
[16:46] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Sorry I'm late.
[16:48] (Flashback) Both
    Master?!
[16:51] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Well, now that we're in this position...
[16:57] (Flashback) Yanagi
    I'll have to make things right.
[17:07] (Flashback) Kurama
    Master?
[17:09] (Flashback) Ibuki
    You're still trying to seal it?
[17:11] (Flashback) Yanagi
    We're screwed if I don't.
[17:13] (Flashback) Yanagi
    It's too late to stop the eruption,
[17:16] (Flashback) Yanagi
    but we need to at least keep all the
    Ayaka Islands from being destroyed.
[17:22] (Flashback) Kurama
    Is that possible?
[17:25] (Flashback) Yanagi
    If I risk my life, it's about 50-50.
[17:29] (Flashback) Kurama
    No...
[17:31] (Flashback) Ibuki
    I'll help, then.
[17:33] (Flashback) Yanagi
    That's my dependable student.
[17:35] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Master.
[17:37] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Haruaki, take Aka and run.
[17:43] (Flashback) Haruaki
    Yes, Master.
[17:45] (Flashback) Aka
    Haruaki, don't!
[17:52] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Sorry.
[18:04] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Hey, Haruaki! Why, you...
[18:11] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Master...
[18:13] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Damn it. Why?
[18:17] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Why does everyone keep doing this to me?
[18:23] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Damn it!
[18:36] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Hah. You've got no patience.
[18:39] (Flashback) Yanagi
    But, well, I guess you did hold out well.
[18:42] (Flashback) Yanagi
    As they say, you gotta know
    when to fold and walk away.
[18:46] (Flashback) Yanagi
    Guess it's time for one last job.
[18:56] Momoko
    From our perspective, that battle
    appeared to be a massive eruption.
[18:58] Inou
    Don't panic, please!
[19:00] Inou
    There will be more ferries!
[19:03] Momoko
    The skies blazed red all night long...
[19:10] Momoko
    But when the next morning came,
    it was like nothing had happened.
[19:14] Momoko
    We didn't have to evacuate for long,
[19:17] Momoko
    but in just one night, all of the Ayaka
    Islands had suffered terrible damage.
[19:24] Momoko
    And once the eruption had
    ended, at that crater...
[19:35] Momoko
    the two of them found Yanagi-sensei.
[19:38] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Master.
[19:48] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Master?
[19:59] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Damn it... Damn it, damn it!
[20:07] (Flashback) Ibuki
    Master!
[20:16] Momoko
    Yanagi-sensei's death came as
    a terrible shock to Aka-kun.
[20:22] Momoko
    After the funeral, he left the island.
[20:31] Momoko
    Haruaki-kun never told me the details,
[20:35] Momoko
    but the two of them got into an argument
    over their future as Ley Masters
[20:42] Momoko
    and parted ways.
[20:46] Momoko
    Several years later, Aka-kun returned,
    having learned some dangerous spells.
[20:54] Momoko
    And now his relationship with
    Haruaki-kun is strained.
[20:59] Yukito
    So my father's death was
    related to their feud.
[21:05] Momoko
    But it was also Yanagi-sensei
    who brought them together.
[21:09] Momoko
    There was one more person there, too.
[21:15] Yukito
    Oh, right. I remember fleeing
    from something in terror.
[21:29] Yukito
    And what calmed me down back then...
[21:34] Yukito
    was holding Jingi-san's hand.
[21:37] Momoko
    That was ten years ago.
[21:41] Jingi
    Momoko-san.
[21:43] Jingi
    Forget the past. Could you bring me a beer?
[21:47] Momoko
    Sure. Yukito-kun, are you all
    right with a soft drink?
[21:51] Yukito
    Thank you.
