[00:00] [SONG] Opening
    We look the same, but men call us monsters.
    
    If we shadows, which lurk
    between eras, are destined to die,
    
    then I shall fall with the cherry blossoms.
    Then, I shall fall with the cherry blossoms.
[02:27] Gu
    We will begin after sunset,
SIGN    Like a Rhinoceros
[02:29] Gu
    but we'll head there now and wait.
[02:32] Gu
    That's fine, right?
[02:33] Gu
    Yeah, seems fine.
[02:36] Gi
    Then, I'll get things ready at the tea shop.
[02:39] Gi
    I'll be back before nightfall.
[02:41] Gu
    Okay, I'll go, too.
[02:45] Gu
    There, it goes...
[02:47] Gi
    What, is it broken?
[02:50] Gu
    The fastener flew off.
[02:51] Gu
    It's gotten too small again.
[02:54] Gu
    Saizou, can you do this without Shikibu?
[02:57] G
    Yeah... I suppose.
[02:59] Gi
    It's just the knee piece, right?
[03:02] Gi
    Can't he do without it?
[03:04] Gi
    No.
[03:05] Gi
    Come to the shed with me.
[03:06] Gi
    Should I help?
[03:08] Gu
    No, you should follow the plan.
[03:11] Gu
    Hibiki... Hachisu. Help me.
[03:16] Gu
    So you've gotten more muscular again.
[03:18] Gu
    Sorry.
[03:20] Gu
    There's no reason to apologize.
[03:22] Gu
    That's just your body. You can't help it.
[03:24] Gu
    Yeah.
[03:26] Gu
    Take everything off.
[03:31] Gu
    I see.
[03:32] Gu
    Could you two leave for a minute?
[03:35] Gu
    But you can stay, if you really
    want to see Shikibu naked.
[03:46] Gu
    Looks like the whole thing needs adjusting.
[03:50] Gu
    There's a barn out back...
[03:52] Gu
    The old Saibougu is on one of the shelves.
[03:55] Gu
    It's tighter than what you have,
[03:57] Gu
    but if you don't move, it'll be fine.
[04:00] Gu
    Just wear it and stay put.
[04:02] Gu
    Okay.
[04:05] Gu
    First...
[04:06] Gu
    Go take a bath.
[04:07] Gu
    You kind of stink.
[04:09] Gu
    But...
[04:11] Gu
    Thirty minutes or so will do.
[04:13] Gu
    Your body won't explode.
[04:29] Gu
    What was that about?
[04:32] Gu
    His body exploding without this.
[04:35] Gu
    Oh...
[04:37] Gu
    This armor's purpose isn't merely
    to protect him from attacks.
[04:42] Gu
    It's more important than that.
[04:44] Gu
    It's a lifeline, you could say.
[04:46] Gi
    A lifeline?
[04:48] Gu
    If he doesn't use this to compress his body,
[04:50] Gu
    his body will explode and kill him.
[04:54] Gu
    The muscle inside his body is too
    powerful for his skin, perhaps.
[04:58] Gu
    It seems he was born this way.
[05:03] Gu
    There's an old saying about wandering
    alone, like a rhinoceros.
[05:08] Gu
    A rhinoceros?
[05:10] Gu
    A rhinoceros is a huge, one-horned
    beast that lives in India.
[05:15] Gu
    They don't form packs, and never
    look any direction but forward.
[05:19] Gu
    And they only move straight ahead.
[05:21] Gu
    The Buddha compared them to monks
    trying to achieve enlightenment.
[05:25] Gu
    And that's...
[05:27] Gu
    Yes, wander alone, like a rhinoceros.
[05:31] Gu
    That's the origin of the name
    "Saibougu," or "Rhino Armor."
SIGN    Saibougu — Rhino Armor
[05:33] Gu
    It's the armor to protect him,
    as he goes through life alone.
[05:42] Gi
    Someone's here.
[05:44] Gi
    We're surrounded.
[05:46] Gu
    Seems so.
[05:55] Gu
    One in the shadow of the far-right tree.
[05:58] Gu
    One in the forest behind.
[06:03] Gu
    And one more. A big one!
[06:12] Gu
    If there are only three, leave it to Hachisu.
[06:15] Gu
    We need to repair the Saibougu, as quickly
    as possible, and give it to Shikibu.
[06:20] Gi
    Right.
[06:57] Gi
    One more.
[07:07] Gu
    What is it?
[07:07] Gi
    The sounds are retreating.
[07:09] Gu
    Then Hachisu drove them off.
[07:13] Gu
    Let's hurry.
[07:15] Gu
    Yeah.
[07:29] Gi
    Where is he?
[07:35] Gu
    Nope.
[07:52] Gu
    You think you did well to get me
    away from that shed, right?
[07:58] Gu
    It's the other way around.
[07:59] Gu
    My target wasn't that girl named Hibiki.
[08:03] Gu
    But her follower. You.
[08:19] Gu
    What's wrong?
[08:20] Gu
    You aren't going to shoot?
[08:40] Gu
    Wait, Hibiki!
[08:46] Gu
    Shikibu?
[09:12] Gu
    Killing me isn't easy.
[09:17] Gu
    The bullets from my Lotus Root
    Gun didn't hurt him...
[09:20] Gu
    Strikes probably won't, either.
[09:22] Gu
    You're also a monster, aren't you?
[09:44] Gu
    What's wrong, monster?
[09:49] Gu
    You okay, Hachisu?!
[09:50] Gi
    Let's retreat... for now.
[10:48] Gu
    Don't stop working.
[11:13] Gi
    We're trapped!
[11:20] Gi
    Hey!
[11:31] Gi
    It's crazy, Shikibu!
[11:32] Gi
    There's a gap, so let's just wait.
[11:39] Gi
    I see.
[11:41] Gi
    Your body...
[11:44] Gu
    You heard?
[11:45] Gi
    You should've said something.
[11:48] Gu
    I thought it would creep everyone out.
[11:50] Gu
    I didn't want you guys to leave me.
[11:56] Gi
    Fool.
[11:57] Gu
    But... that's what had to happen.
[12:01] Gu
    This is my punishment... for wanting
    to be with everyone.
[12:07] Gi
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[12:13] Gu
    I've killed many people... So many...
[12:17] Gu
    So this is my punishment.
[12:29] Gu
    Renouncing violence against all living beings,
    harming not a single one.
[12:42] Gu
    What's wrong?
[12:42] Gu
    Hurry!
[12:43] Gu
    A wrap! Get him a new wrap!
[12:47] Gu
    It seems he was working with it loose again.
[12:51] Gu
    Renouncing violence against all living beings,
    harming not a single one,
[12:56] Gu
    you would not wish for offspring.
[13:00] Gu
    So how, then, for a companion?
[13:22] Gu
    Wander alone, like a rhinoceros...
[13:29] Gu
    You can't kill living things.
    I understand that.
[13:32] Gu
    I'm careful not to step even on ants.
[13:34] Gu
    Good to hear!
[13:37] Gu
    Priest...
[13:38] Gu
    But why can't I have friends?
[13:44] Gu
    Why do I have to live alone?
[13:49] Gu
    Wander alone, like a rhinoceros.
[13:53] Gu
    Those were the Buddha's words to
    those who would follow his path.
[13:58] Gu
    Those who would live as his priests
[14:00] Gu
    must want neither children
    nor friends, and live alone.
[14:06] Gu
    I can't play with anyone?
[14:09] Gu
    You must not want to.
[14:12] Gu
    I can't be friends with anyone?
[14:16] Gu
    You must not wish for them.
[14:20] Gu
    Wander alone.
[14:23] Gu
    Wander alone, like a rhinoceros.
[14:26] Gu
    Endlessly repeat those words in your heart.
[14:59] Gi
    Stupid...
[15:02] Gi
    "Wander alone"? What?
[15:05] Gi
    What's the point of letting
    those words rule your life?
[15:10] Gi
    You want to be with everyone, right?
[15:14] Gi
    You want to protect our leader, right?
[15:17] Gi
    If someone wants to kill our leader,
    you have to kill them, right?
[15:24] Gi
    So...
[15:26] Gi
    Whether you're punished or not,
    no sense in worrying about it.
[15:30] Gi
    It's our job.
[15:36] Gi
    I'm ashamed to say it,
    but I must leave it to you.
[15:40] Gi
    Don't forget that I have my own magic.
[15:43] Gi
    I don't sense them anymore.
[15:52] Gu
    This is bad...
[15:53] Gu
    It's hitting me.
[15:55] Gu
    It sure hurts...
[15:57] Gu
    It hurts!
[16:01] Gi
    Where?
[16:02] Gi
    Where does it hurt most?
[16:04] Gi
    Here?
[16:07] Gi
    What?
[16:08] Gi
    It hurts, right?
[16:10] Gu
    My body's disgusting, isn't it?
[16:16] Gu
    I'm like a... monster, right?
[16:21] Gi
    Just tell me.
[16:23] Gi
    Where does it hurt most?
[17:30] Gu
    So you're Hibiki?
[17:32] Gu
    Don't worry.
[17:33] Gu
    I was told not to kill you.
[17:37] Gu
    But...
[18:10] Gu
    I see...
[18:12] Gu
    So you're...
[18:15] Gu
    The Kouga...
[18:16] Gu
    Hachirou...
[18:33] Gi
    Hachirou!
[18:36] Gi
    We were apart for so long,
[18:38] Gi
    but it was like we were always together!
[18:41] Gi
    So I thought I didn't need
    to see you anymore...
[18:46] Gi
    But...
[18:48] Gi
    You came to fight the Joujinshuu, didn't you?
[18:51] Gi
    Let's fight together!
[18:55] Gi
    Hachisu said that if we could
    control our power,
[19:00] Gi
    we might be able to do something incredible!
[19:16] Gi
    You know, I was told to be a great kunoichi,
[19:20] Gi
    to strengthen my skills
    for our leader's sake.
[19:24] Gi
    Ever since I was a kid.
[19:26] Gi
    But it didn't work at all.
[19:30] Gi
    I couldn't use any techniques well.
[19:34] Gi
    So this was all I could rely on.
[19:37] Gi
    But if I can do my job,
[19:41] Gi
    it's nobody's business how I do it, is it?
[19:45] Gi
    Because it's all I can do.
[19:49] Gi
    So, I don't know how to say it, but...
[19:54] Gi
    There's no need to let another's
    words rule your life, is there?
[20:29] Gi
    Shikibu, are you okay?
[20:33] Gu
    I guess...
[20:35] Gi
    Hurry!
[20:40] Gu
    He thought...
[20:42] Gu
    he pierced my true heart, but...
[20:47] Gu
    My skin's thickness turned the blade aside.
[21:07] Gu
    I told you, killing me isn't easy.
[21:13] Gu
    It isn't easy...
[21:15] Gu
    It isn't easy to kill anyone!
[21:21] Gu
    But...
[21:30] Gu
    Do you think... I'm gonna
    get punished... again?
[21:38] Gi
    If you do, that's fine.
[21:42] Gi
    We'll suffer it together.
