[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. [00:17] Gi     Hibiki. [00:19] Gi     You're... [00:22] Gi     My name is Oboro. [00:25] Gi     No... Oboro is my mother's name. [00:28] Gi     That's impossible. [00:31] Gi     Hibiki... [00:34] Gi     You've grown up into a woman, yes? [00:39] Gi     Mother... [00:47] Gi     Mother! What's wrong? [00:50] Gi     In the past, I was asked to make the     greatest decision of my life. [00:56] Gi     That was when I fell in love with     a man and lost my path. [01:03] Gi     And in so doing, I lost many comrades... [01:07] Gi     It pains me so. [01:11] Gi     Kouga Gennosuke, [01:13] Gi     in this life or the next one, [01:18] Gi     I shall never forgive you. [01:24] Gi     Ever! [01:27] Gi     Mother! SIGN    Everyone Gathers at the Battlefield [03:33] Gi     You should wipe the blood off your body. [03:35] Gi     Yeah, my kunai are slipping... [03:45] Gu     I knew they'd be here. [04:05] Gi     What's wrong? [04:08] Gi     Are you scared? [04:10] Gi     What about you? [04:13] Gi     Yeah, I'm scared, too. [04:15] Gi     They'll gladly throw away their lives. [04:17] Gi     That isn't all I'm frightened of. [04:22] Gi     What frightens me is dying     without having said anything. [04:28] Gi     Saying anything? [04:30] Gi     I have always loved you, Utsutsu. [04:35] Gi     I love you, Utsutsu! [04:41] Gi     What's wrong?! Come to your senses, Rui! [04:44] Gi     I know this battle is enough to nauseate you, [04:47] Gi     but this isn't your first war! [04:49] Gi     I am quite sane... [04:51] Gi     So I want to say it now. [04:53] Gi     This war is different from the others. [04:57] Gi     Today, one of us might die. [05:33] Gu     You already know we have Iga Hibiki. [05:47] Gu     You can't stop us from doing     whatever we wish to her. [05:51] Gu     Don't you want to save her? [05:54] Gu     We will invite you. [06:04] Gu     Rinne Magoroku. [06:06] Gu     Do you think you've made     a prisoner of me, as well? [06:10] Gu     Nonsense. [06:13] Gu     Yasha Itaru, you're going to regret [06:18] Gu     not using Destiny's Passage on me. [06:22] Gi     Still talking? [06:23] Gi     Disgraceful, Kouga Hachirou... [06:27] Gu     No, it's possible that your Destiny's     Passage may be working a little. [06:34] Gu     I feel strange. [06:37] Gu     Perhaps I have the desire     to take my own life. [06:43] Gu     It might be interesting to use     my own technique on myself. [06:48] Gi     Impossible. [06:49] Gu     Have you gone mad, Kouga Hachirou? [06:52] Gu     Now, Destiny's Passage and     Adamantite Tower... [06:57] Gu     And my Spearing Eye. [07:00] Gu     What will we have when they intertwine? [07:03] Gu     Don't take that mirror off your face. [07:10] Gu     You both will find yourselves in hell. [07:25] Gi     Rinne, this is... [07:26] Gu     Your Destiny's Passage may     be working, after all. [07:31] Gi     No, this is an illusion. [07:34] Gi     He's bluffing! [07:36] Gu     For now, I will take my leave. [07:40] Gu     Kouga Hachirou, [07:42] Gu     we can take you to the Murakumo at any time. [07:47] Gu     Remember that. [08:51] Gi     Don't forget to take your medicine. [08:55] Gu     Always the bossy wife, aren't you? [08:58] Gi     Is that the only way you know     how to use the word "wife"? [10:47] Gi     Otoshi-dono, [10:49] Gi     Senhime has asked us to     take good care of you. [10:55] Gi     Please stay here as long as you like. [10:59] Gi     Thank you, I will. [11:02] Gi     By the way, who is that girl? [11:05] Gi     Girl? [11:06] Gi     Oh, she's been here for about six months. [11:10] Gi     The other girls are the same, more or less. [11:13] Gi     But it seems something awful happened     to her on the way here. [11:18] Gi     What's that eyepatch for? [11:20] Gi     It seems she can actually see, [11:22] Gi     but she always wears it,     and she never takes it off. [11:28] Gi     There must be some important reason, [11:31] Gi     so we don't force the issue. [11:36] Gi     I see. [11:38] Gi     By the way... [11:40] Gi     Yes? [11:41] Gi     I... have changed my name to Namenba. [12:07] Gi     It's a secret. [12:08] Gi     Eat up. [12:51] Gi     I see. [12:52] Gi     You're leaving on a journey again. [12:54] Gi     Yes. I've been here for six months. [12:58] Gi     I didn't mean to stay this long. [13:01] Gi     Are you... [13:03] Gi     returning to the battlefield? [13:07] Gi     Even I can tell. [13:11] Gi     I'm sorry. [13:14] Gi     I've no intention of asking for specifics. [13:17] Gi     But... [13:19] Gi     If you ever wish it, you may     return here, at any time. [13:26] Gi     We'll all be waiting. [13:31] Gi     I'd love it if I could just stay here,     with you and the others, Rui... [13:37] Gi     You want to stay here forever, right? [13:40] Gi     Nobody lives forever. [13:54] Gi     Everyone dies quickly. [13:56] Gi     They don't stay forever. [13:59] Gi     So it doesn't matter where you are. [14:02] Gi     You'll die soon, too. [14:36] Gi     Stop this blasphemy! [15:27] Gi     Those tears have put you through     a lot, haven't they? [15:32] Gi     What will you do? [15:34] Gi     Come with me? [15:36] Gi     It won't be easy. [15:38] Gi     Or are you just tired of the whole world? [15:42] Gi     Decide now. [15:43] Gi     Whatever you decide, I'll make it happen. [15:54] Gi     I'll go. [15:56] Gi     I'll live with you... Namenba! [16:17] Gi     I saw what happened back there. [16:20] Gi     If you were taken to the Murakumo, [16:23] Gi     the leaders of both the Iga and Kouga     ninjas would have been captured. [16:27] Gi     Hachirou, was what you said a bluff? [16:31] Gi     Or was it true? [16:34] Gi     Shichigen, was there ever a time     when you wanted to kill yourself? [16:40] Gi     You can't say that there wasn't, right? [16:45] Gi     I'll say it again... [16:47] Gi     We can't lose both the Iga     and Kouga leaders at once! [17:01] Gi     Shikibu! [17:11] Gi     Why is the water wheel moving? [17:13] Gi     I don't know... [17:14] Gi     And I can't see Gorone. [17:17] Gi     Gorone left? In his condition? [17:20] Gi     I think so... [17:21] Gi     There are signs that something left. [17:39] Gi     Tadanaga-sama. [17:47] Gi     If you're real, that's that. [17:50] Gi     You're useless to us. [18:07] Gi     A double, of course... [18:09] Gi     If this were the real Tadanaga-sama, [18:12] Gi     my job would now be over. [18:43] Gi     I'm afraid they all seem to be fakes. [19:00] Gi     You never learn... [19:14] Gi     Wasting ammo will just shorten your life. [19:19] Gi     We're going to fly. [19:27] Gi     We'll bet on that. [19:28] Gi     It must be a present left behind     by that flabby guy. [19:33] Gi     Let's go! [19:44] Gi     You've come to get me... No. [19:48] Gi     You've come to kill me. [19:54] Gi     My fate was decided by a mere     battle between ninjas. [19:58] Gi     If such insanity can be allowed to exist, [20:00] Gi     then I shall change my fate     with insanity of my own. [20:04] Gi     Why would I hesitate? [20:08] Gi     But if the traitor who's trying to end     Tokugawa's reign is his own younger brother, [20:15] Gi     does my brother still have some     feeling of brotherly love within him? [20:18] Gi     Iemitsu-sama eagerly awaits     his brother's return. [20:27] Gi     Is that what Tenkai told you to say? [20:30] Gi     I'm told Iemitsu-sama [20:32] Gi     has always felt guilty to have been     given his position in such a way. [20:39] Gi     He understands how you feel, [20:41] Gi     and if you return now, he will     forget the whole thing. [20:46] Gi     Enough! [20:48] Gi     You don't believe me? [20:50] Gi     Iemitsu-sama shared with me,     a man of low station, [20:54] Gi     his happy memories of his childhood with you. [21:00] Gi     At a court banquet when you     were five and he was seven, [21:06] Gi     you two argued over who would     get some white and red sweets. [21:11] Gi     He gave in and took the white ones, [21:14] Gi     letting you take the red. [21:17] Gi     The whole room smiled. [21:20] Gi     The summer when you were     twelve and he was fourteen, [21:25] Gi     you went on your first hunt with hawks. [21:29] Gi     The two of you drank boiled water,     and he remembers the taste to this day. [21:34] Gi     He said this with tears in his eyes. SIGN    Preview [23:26] Gi     Prepare to die, Joujin. [23:28] Gi     My name is Tokugawa Tadanaga. [23:31] Gi     Only because the old flowers     die can new ones bloom. SIGN    The Cherry Blossoms Must Fall [23:36] Gi     Will Asura fall, with the demon gods?
