**[00:00] [SONG] OpeningNarration**
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.
**[00:10] Flashback**
Suruga-sama is still Suruga-sama.
**[00:16] Flashback**
That will never change, no matter what.
**[00:18] Flashback**
I see.
**[00:20] Flashback**
The perfect puppet.
**[00:23] Flashback**
And your job is to save him before
that happens, Hadaebou.
**[00:31] Flashback**
If he cannot be saved,
his life is to be taken.
**[00:35] Flashback**
That is what Tenkai told you to do, yes?
***SIGN*** Murakumo Must Be Destroyed
**[02:19] H**
You bastard...
**[02:47] Gu**
I already told you that your eye
magic will not work on me.
**[02:55] Gu**
Your plan was to attack me, suddenly,
**[02:58] Gu**
provoking an instant desire to harm you.
**[03:02] Gu**
Something a child would dream up.
**[03:07] Gu**
Feel free to try it again.
**[03:10] Gu**
See whether your eye magic works
**[03:14] Gu**
as I push this blade through your chest.
**[03:26] H**
Then, I don't need my eye magic!
**[03:29] H**
I'll kill you with my sword!
**[03:33] Gu**
You think you can kill me?
**[04:42] Gu**
What's wrong?
**[04:43] Gu**
Out of breath already?
**[05:46] Gu**
Are you hurt?
**[05:47] Gu**
Worry about Hachirou, not me.
**[05:50] Gu**
Hachirou is here.
**[05:53] Gi**
We thought he might be here...
**[05:57] Gu**
Did he go to Murakumo on his own?
**[05:59] Gi**
Where did you see him?
**[06:01] Gu**
Near the eastern forest.
**[06:03] Gu**
We were being chased by Rain riflemen.
**[06:07] Gi**
Hachisu...
**[06:08] Gi**
Yes, leave it to me.
**[06:10] Gi**
Shikibu, you take care of this.
**[06:11] Gu**
Right. Let's go, Hibiki.
**[06:39] Gi**
I hope your plan is working...
**[06:44] Gu**
I don't know.
**[06:46] Gu**
The enemy probably knew that
we'd attempt a diversion.
**[06:52] Gi**
Then, why?
**[06:53] Gu**
Sometimes, even in a damezumari,
a new move will reveal itself.
**[06:57] Gi**
A damezumari?
**[06:59] Gu**
A term from Go.
**[07:01] Gu**
When you and the enemy are in
the midst of a chaotic battle,
**[07:05] Gu**
unexpected moves can appear.
**[07:07] Gu**
While the enemy focuses on the
battle right in front of them...
**[07:10] Gu**
Namenba, that's your cue.
**[07:14] Gi**
But everyone won't...
**[07:17] Gu**
They should send the signal soon.
**[07:24] Gi**
Saizou, isn't there anything we can do?
**[07:27] Gu**
Shut up. I'm thinking.
**[07:31] Gu**
I guess we'll try it.
**[07:58] Gu**
Suruga-sama...
**[08:02] Gu**
Rui, take Shichigen and ready the boat.
**[08:05] Gi**
We're retreating?
**[08:07] Gu**
It's an important job. Do it, please.
**[08:09] Gi**
Shichigen...
**[08:11] Gu**
Okay.
**[08:16] Gu**
There's something I want to see.
**[08:18] Gu**
Utsutsu, fire the cannon for me.
**[08:22] Gi**
What's the point of doing the
same thing over again?
**[08:40] Gu**
Now, hurry... Please get out of here.
**[08:43] Gu**
I'm not going back.
**[08:45] Gu**
Why?
**[08:46] Gu**
Joujin is only using you.
**[08:49] Gu**
Once he's done with you,
**[08:51] Gu**
you'll just be killed!
**[08:53] Gu**
I'm not going back.
**[08:55] Gu**
If you insist on not returning,
**[08:59] Gu**
His Excellency Tenkai has told me
to take your life on the spot.
**[09:04] Gu**
Are you certain?
**[09:07] Gu**
I'm not going back.
**[09:09] Gu**
I'm not going back.
**[09:11] Gu**
I'm not going back.
**[09:15] Gu**
This is another fake...
**[09:16] Gu**
Again?
**[09:59] Gu**
Did you hear that?
**[10:02] Gu**
As suspected, the inhabitants of
Chiyoda Castle intend to slay you.
**[10:12] Gu**
I have seen your true intentions!
**[10:17] Gu**
Return and tell Tenkai that I
will rule Japan with Joujin!
**[10:23] Gu**
Suruga-sama...
**[10:33] Gu**
Even if it was an illusion, he still
slew it without hesitation.
**[10:38] Gu**
Suruga-sama, ruling is a
cruel thing, is it not?
**[11:15] Gu**
Return and tell them about how
terrifying we Joujinshuu are.
**[11:29] Gu**
Join me.
**[11:33] Gu**
What?
**[11:35] Gu**
What are you planning?
**[11:37] Gu**
We no longer have cause to defeat
the leader of the Five Treasures.
**[11:43] Gu**
Our goal has been achieved.
**[11:45] Gu**
Then why try to convince me to join?
**[11:48] Gu**
Betrayal is the way of the world.
**[11:50] Gu**
Normally, ninjas act for their own benefit.
**[11:54] Gu**
Stop letting hatred and the desire
for vengeance blind you.
**[11:59] H**
Tell me what you want.
**[12:00] H**
I do not act for myself.
**[12:02] Gu**
You— no, the two of you, your bloodline.
**[12:07] Gu**
We want the blood flowing through the
veins of Kouga Hachirou and Iga Hibiki.
**[12:13] H**
Even you would use me... use us?!
**[12:19] Gu**
Your other choice is to die by my blade.
**[12:24] H**
Don't underestimate me, monster!
**[12:26] Gu**
Monster, am I?
**[12:28] Gu**
Doesn't the same word apply to you two?
**[12:30] Gu**
You have the power of monsters and demons,
**[12:34] Gu**
the power to set the world alight!
**[12:36] H**
Enough talk.
**[12:38] Gu**
I will give you another chance.
**[12:41] Gu**
Join me.
**[12:43] H**
Enough!
**[12:46] Gu**
Fool!
**[12:49] Gi**
Hachirou!
**[12:52] Gi**
Hibiki!
**[13:18] Gu**
Kujaku. Can you hear me, Kujaku?
**[13:23] Gu**
Joujin-sama?
**[13:24] Gu**
Fire the Shiroku cannon in the
direction of the eastern hill,
**[13:27] Gu**
where Hachirou and his ninjas are.
**[13:29] Gu**
The Shiroku cannon?
**[13:31] Gu**
Won't that kill them?
**[13:35] Gu**
If it does, they were of
no value to us, anyway.
**[13:39] Gu**
As you wish.
**[13:52] Gu**
The cannon's changing direction!
**[13:54] Gi**
It's moving toward...
**[13:56] Gu**
Toward us!
**[13:59] Gu**
Run along the river!
**[14:01] Gu**
Or else you'll be caught in landslides!
**[14:25] Gu**
Shikibu!
**[14:56] Gi**
That light... It can't be...
**[14:58] Gi**
Ouka?
**[15:16] Gu**
So they used it?
**[15:19] Gi**
Gorone?
**[15:22] Gu**
Is that it?
**[15:25] Gu**
Shichigen, is that...
**[15:27] Gu**
Ouka...
**[15:58] Gu**
Splendid!
**[16:01] Gu**
I will say it, once more.
**[16:03] Gu**
Entrust me with your power.
**[16:07] Gu**
Come and join me.
**[16:16] Gu**
Stop it.
**[16:19] Gu**
In your condition, if you use it again,
**[16:24] Gu**
you could die.
**[16:39] Gu**
You would sacrifice your own lives, then?
**[16:47] Gu**
Magoroku!
**[16:57] Gu**
Joujin-sama!
**[17:14] Gu**
Splendid!
**[17:16] Gu**
I can understand Joujin-sama's obsession!
**[17:45] Gu**
Hachirou! Hibiki!
**[17:51] Gu**
I'm counting on you, Utsutsu!
**[17:53] Gi**
Right!
**[18:00] Gu**
Sheesh. They finally gave up, huh?
**[18:31] Gu**
Joujin-sama!
**[18:33] Gu**
I'm fine.
**[18:34] Gu**
No need to worry.
**[18:37] Gu**
Joujin-sama, this is the second
time they've used Ouka.
**[18:40] Gu**
But they appear not to have mastered it yet.
**[18:43] Gu**
They will need time.
**[18:46] Gu**
When the time is right,
we can simply acquire them.
**[18:50] Gu**
As you ordered,
**[18:52] Gu**
we sent Tenkai's servant,
Hadaebou, home alive.
**[18:56] Gu**
Very well.
**[18:58] Gu**
Tenkai will be quite flustered.
**[19:02] Gu**
Joujin!
**[19:04] Gu**
If you left Hadaebou alive, that may
as well be a declaration of war!
**[19:09] Gu**
I say we cross the river now
and begin our assault.
**[19:13] Gu**
There's no need for such a hurry.
**[19:17] Gu**
Strategy is an important part of war.
**[19:19] Gu**
First, we need to cause them to panic.
**[19:25] Gu**
Th-That's true, but...
**[19:29] Gu**
Where is Kujaku?
**[19:31] Gu**
He's playing on top of the cannon.
**[19:36] Gu**
All these years, and he still
has the heart of a child.
**[19:47] Gu**
If this fails, it's over.
**[19:49] Gu**
We only have one cannonball.
**[19:52] Gi**
Right.
**[19:58] Gu**
Let's go!
**[20:09] Gu**
They keep doing the same thing!
**[20:29] Gi**
Gorone!
**[20:30] Gu**
Go, Namenba!
**[20:38] Gu**
Stupid!
**[20:40] Gu**
I knew it!
**[20:41] Gu**
There's a gap when he can't
use his time reversal!
**[20:45] Gu**
Namenba!
**[20:46] Gu**
4-12! Black Kite!
**[20:52] Gu**
The stars have disappeared!
**[20:54] Gu**
This is...
**[21:25] Gi**
Let's get out of here!
