    Fifty years of a man's life
[02:03] Gu
    are like a dream, compared to the heavens...
[02:15] Gu
    Once a man is born, must he not die?
[02:28] Gu
    Indeed, he must...

[02:36] Gu
    Who's there?
[02:37] Gu
    Have you come to take me to hell?
[02:40] Gu
    There's no need to hurry.
[02:43] Gu
    Does it not frustrate you?
[02:46] Gu
    What?
[02:47] Gu
    Does dying with your great desire
    unfulfilled not frustrate you?
[02:53] Gu
    That is my destiny.
[02:56] Gu
    And if it were possible
    to change that destiny?
[03:01] Gu
    What?
[03:02] Gu
    You need but ask,
    and I shall change it for you.

[03:42] Narr
    Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa.
[03:46] Narr
    He and his brother Tadanaga shared
    an animosity still spoken of today.
[03:52] Narr
    But in the shadows of the struggle for
    succession, which began their feud,
[03:56] Narr
    the Iga and Kouga ninja were
    forced to fight and die.
[04:02] Narr
    Those occurrences, however,
    were buried in darkness,
[04:06] Narr
    and no one knows for sure if
    they ever really happened.

    Shut the gate! Close it up!
[04:32] Gu
    My lord... Tadanaga-sama,
[04:35] Gu
    please, please take all care.
[04:38] Gu
    But even if the last shogun's wife
    is dying, the way he panicked...
[04:45] Gu
    I understand the reason.
[04:47] Gu
    Our lord's only ally at Edo Castle
[04:51] Gu
    was his mother, the last shogun's wife.
[05:04] Gu
    Mother... Please... Please, hang in there.
[05:07] Gu
    I, Tadanaga, am on my way!

    It's useless...
[08:28] Gi
    Your illusions can't fool me.
[08:34] Gi
    My eyeballs are up there.
[08:38] Gi
    Give up?
[08:40] Gi
    If you give up, say so.
[08:43] Gi
    Otherwise, I'll snap your arm.
[08:46] Gi
    Hell, no...
[08:48] Gi
    An Iga ninja would rather rip her tongue
    out than concede to a Kouga ninja.
[08:53] Gu
    Guess it's true that Iga ninja never shut up.
[08:57] Gu
    They say it was actually the
    Kouga who won that war.
[09:01] Gu
    Then you Iga lied to make everyone think...
[09:05] Gi
    No one says that.
[09:08] Gi
    You Kouga are pathetic.
[09:12] Gi
    Still refuse to admit you lost?
[09:25] Gi
    That's what you get.
[09:38] Gu
    Iga bitch!
[09:41] Gi
    Sorry.
[09:44] Gi
    I'm an Iga bitch, too.
[09:47] Gu
    Namenba...
[09:52] Gi
    This is your punishment.
[09:54] Gi
    For continuing to go on
    about the Iga and Kouga.
[10:02] Gi
    I win again.
[10:04] Gi
    It's boring...
[10:06] Gi
    Too easy.
[10:25] Gu
    No.
[10:31] Gu
    This isn't the sound I want to hear.
[10:34] Gi
    Kazuma-sama?
[10:36] Gi
    He's always so damn into what he's doing.
[10:39] Gi
    Maybe I'll play with him a little.
[10:56] Gu
    Don't struggle.
[10:58] Gu
    Struggle any more,
    and your head will go flying.
[11:00] Gu
    Or do you wish to hear
[11:02] Gu
    the rare sound that comes from
    heaven's lyre when you die?
[11:10] Gi
    Kazuma-sama, please stop.
[11:11] Gi
    I don't know what happened,
[11:13] Gi
    but please forgive her!
[11:15] Gu
    No.
[11:16] Gu
    They underestimate what
    it means to be a ninja.
[11:20] Gu
    They make a mockery of it.
[11:22] Gi
    They're still...
[11:23] Gi
    They're still children.
[11:25] Gu
    And that is why...
[11:27] Gu
    Unless they truly suffer, at least once,
    they won't change their ways.
[11:32] Gu
    Unless they see the blood of
    their companions, that is.
[11:56] Gu
    Knock it off!
[11:59] Gu
    Hachirou...
[12:01] Gu
    That's enough.
[12:08] Gu
    Wh-What?
[12:09] Gu
    What are you scared of, Kazuma?
[12:12] Gu
    You aren't going to try and
    fight our leader, are you?
[12:18] Gu
    You jest, Gei'in-dono.
[12:20] Gu
    Why would I?
[12:21] Gu
    You haven't forgotten how terrifying
    Hachirou's eye magic can be, have you?
[12:27] Gu
    Forgive him, Hachirou-dono.
[12:30] Gu
    He means nothing by it.
[12:33] Gu
    Strengthening his skills is the
    only thing he's interested in.
[12:37] Gu
    And that single-minded
    nature is his single flaw.
[12:40] H
    I know that, Gei'in.
[12:47] Gu
    Our leader is a handful, is he not?
[12:50] Gu
    He does nothing but play with those
    whose skills are not yet fully formed.
[12:55] Gu
    Don't say that, Tenshin. Kasou.
[12:58] Gu
    He is still a child.
[13:02] Gu
    More importantly, those two...
[13:05] Gu
    Those two?
[13:06] Gu
    The blood that flows within Hachirou and
    Hibiki must not be allowed to perish.
[13:11] Gu
    They must do it,
    whether they like it or not.
[13:16] Gu
    You would have a brother bed his sister?
[13:19] Gu
    You should know better than to even ask.
[13:22] Gu
    Not merely brother and sister.
[13:24] Gu
    To keep the bloodline alive, we would
    force a parent to bed a child.
[13:28] Gu
    Without superior ninja,
    both Kouga and Iga are finished.
[13:35] Gu
    Hachirou and Hibiki should
    both be aware of this.
[13:48] Gu
    What is this?
[13:50] Gu
    The wife of the last shogun is unwell.
[13:53] Gu
    Suruga-sama's mother?
[13:56] Gu
    It says that he left last night.
[14:24] Gu
    My lord! It really is dangerous!
[14:26] Gu
    Please stop!
[14:28] Gu
    I said that I don't care!
[14:30] Gu
    Even if I'm struck by lightning,
[14:33] Gu
    I must... I must go!
[15:00] I
    Hachirou!
[15:05] H
    Your sandals.
[15:07] H
    Aren't you cold?
[15:09] I
    I'm fine!
[15:13] I
    A cherry blossom?
[15:16] H
    I just cut a branch off of
    the Tenzen cherry tree.
[15:19] I
    That's awful!
[15:20] H
    A branch or two won't hurt it.
[15:23] H
    The Tenzen cherry tree is immortal.
[15:26] I
    That's just an old legend...
[15:28] I
    They say that one of those dirt mounds
    belongs to Yakushiji Tenzen-sama.
[15:33] I
    An immortal ninja wouldn't have a grave.
[15:38] H
    Maybe not.
[15:42] Gi
    Gorone, you're in there, right?
[15:44] Gi
    I'm coming in.
[15:57] Gi
    Is that Shikibu's?
[16:00] Gu
    Yes.
[16:01] Gu
    I'm tinkering with his Saibougu.
[16:04] Gi
    She asked if you could fire off
    multiple rounds at once.
[16:08] Gu
    Multiple rounds at once?
[16:10] Gi
    She said it takes too long between
    firing one round and the next.
[16:14] Gu
    Hachisu asks for some crazy stuff...
[16:18] Gi
    Have you seen what's been going on
    between Hachirou and Hibiki lately?
[16:22] Gu
    You seem happy.
[16:25] Gi
    Of course. It's wonderful.
[16:27] Gi
    This whole village wants those
    two to love each other.
[16:32] Gu
    Yeah.
[16:34] Gi
    What?
[16:35] Gi
    Aren't you happy, Gorone?
[16:36] Gu
    Can you get the helmet, back there?
[16:41] Gu
    Trying to make head movement easier
    always makes the neck more vulnerable.
[16:45] Gi
    The thing on this face?
[16:47] Gu
    That's it.
[16:49] Gi
    Hey...
[16:50] Gi
    Aren't you happy?
[16:52] Gi
    You haven't forgotten our duty, right?
[16:56] Gi
    We're...
[16:57] Gu
    We're responsible for watching
    over them as they grow.
[17:01] Gi
    Yeah.
[17:02] Gu
    It sounds great,
[17:04] Gu
    but you're basically trying to bring the
    two together, no matter what, right?
[17:08] Gi
    Why do you have to say it like that?
[17:11] Gi
    You don't like it?
[17:17] Gi
    Here.
[17:18] Gu
    Thanks.

    Where are the carriers
    to take us across the river?
[17:43] Gu
    I think they've already gone home.
[17:45] Gu
    Recall them!
[17:47] Gu
    I don't care how much you have to pay them!
[17:49] Gu
    Even with their help, you won't be
    able to cross in this rain...
[17:54] Gu
    Fool.
[17:55] Gu
    Do you know who I am?!
[17:57] Gu
    I am the Dainagon of Suruga!
[18:02] Gu
    Do something! Do something!
[18:04] Gu
    I know! A ship! Is there a ship?
[18:08] Gu
    My lord... Stop!
[18:14] Gu
    Halt!
[18:15] Gu
    I found one.
[18:20] Gu
    Praise be to Hachiman.
[18:22] Gu
    Now, I can reach my mother!
[18:26] Gu
    My lord...
[18:27] Gu
    You don't plan to cross in this boat, do you?
[18:31] Gu
    Of course!
[18:32] Gu
    Hurry!
[18:33] Gu
    Does anyone here know how
    to pilot a boat? Do you?
[18:39] Gu
    Cowards...
[18:42] Gu
    Then, I'll take it across!
[18:44] Gu
    Men, push it into the river.
[18:47] Gu
    Wait, my lord! Just wait—
[18:52] Gu
    What's wrong?
[18:57] Gu
    Attackers! Draw your swords!
[19:10] Gu
    I ask, with the greatest respect,
[19:14] Gu
    are you the Dainagon of Suruga?
[19:19] Gu
    You would dare ask me a question?
[19:22] Gu
    Who are you? Tell me your name!
[19:26] Gu
    Your forgiveness...
[19:28] Gu
    We men of low birth have no
    names worthy of giving you.
[19:35] Gu
    What?
[19:37] Gu
    Allow me to give you some advice.
[19:39] Gu
    Suruga-sama, attempting to take
    that boat across the river is...
[19:46] Gu
    Yes, like a dog trying to catch a rat.
[19:51] Gu
    You would call me a dog?
[19:54] Gu
    It was simply an example.
[19:58] Gu
    Scum!
[20:10] Gu
    "That blade should have sliced through him..."
[20:17] Gu
    Is that what you just thought?
[20:20] Gu
    Indeed, I should have been slain...
[20:34] Gu
    Wh-Who are you?
[20:38] Gu
    Do not worry.
[20:40] Gu
    This is not due to any lack of skill
    you have with the blade.
[20:45] Gu
    Even the greatest master of the
    sword cannot touch my skin...
[20:54] Gu
    The blade naturally avoids my body.
[20:59] Gu
    That's just how my body is.
[21:02] Gu
    I call it the ninja technique "Ukigumo,"
    the Floating Cloud.
[21:06] Gu
    Then, you're a ninja?
[21:09] Gu
    Indeed.
[21:11] Gu
    But not an impressive one.
[21:26] Gu
    Below average, at best.
