    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.

[00:53] Flashback
    I don't know.
[00:55] Flashback
    I don't know, but perhaps
    it's a different "now"
[00:59] Flashback
    than the "now" where we fought the
    Joujinshuu and lost our companions.
[01:05] Flashback
    No matter what world this is,
[01:08] Flashback
    we can't let Joujin destroy it!
SIGN    The Cherry Blossoms Bloom
[02:57] Gu
    You would interfere?
[03:03] Gi
    I did not expect to see such entertainment.
[03:06] Gi
    I don't know who you are, but you are fools.
[03:09] Gu
    We'll start with the most troublesome one.
[03:34] Gu
    Impossible...
[03:37] Gi
    Damn you!
[03:40] Gi
    Feel my Destiny's Passage!
[03:46] Gi
    What?
[04:00] Gu
    Damn you...
[04:02] Gu
    You feinted, using me!
[04:30] Gi
    Neirichiou!
[05:03] Gu
    Who are you?
[05:06] Gu
    Kouga Hachirou.
[05:08] Gi
    Iga Hibiki.
[05:13] Gu
    Still, they were worthless.
[05:18] Gu
    They died so easily.
[05:21] Gu
    What's wrong?
[05:23] Gu
    You won't use that eye magic on me?
[05:27] Gi
    Hachirou...
[05:29] Gu
    Wait.
[05:30] Gu
    My Spearing Eye won't work on him.
[05:32] Gi
    In that case, I'll...
[05:33] Gu
    No, we should assume
[05:36] Gu
    we were lucky just now and
    caught them off guard.
[05:40] Gu
    Joujin.
[05:41] Gu
    No matter what world you're in,
[05:43] Gu
    your wicked desires will
    never come to fruition!
[05:48] Gu
    No matter what world I'm in?
[05:50] Gu
    Then what happened to
    me in this "other world"?
[05:55] Gu
    You died.
[05:57] Gu
    I died... And then what happened?
[06:01] Gu
    And your plans failed. That's all.
[06:05] Gu
    So that is all you know?
[06:08] Gu
    What?
[06:09] Gu
    I see...
[06:12] Gu
    What's so funny?!
[06:15] Gu
    Enough! Begone!
[06:19] Gu
    No matter the fate that binds
    us in another world,
[06:24] Gu
    we are strangers here.
[06:26] Gu
    I shall use the Murakumo
    to realize my ambitions!
[06:31] Gu
    I see.
[06:33] Gu
    But, Joujin, you still know nothing
    of our final technique!
[06:38] Gu
    What?
[06:52] Gu
    What is this?
[07:07] Gi
    I'll handle the rest.
[07:09] Gi
    Okay.
[07:10] Gu
    So, what do you think?
[07:16] Gi
    Caring.
[07:17] Gi
    Love.
[07:19] Gi
    Pain.
[07:20] Gi
    Sorrow.
[07:22] Gi
    All those feelings combined...
[07:25] Gu
    The contradictory powers
    you originally possessed
[07:30] Gu
    turned those feelings into
    an incredible strength.
[07:35] Gu
    If... If that's true,
[07:38] Gu
    then why can't we control it ourselves?
[07:41] Gi
    Those emotions are so violent and
    passionate, none can control them.
[07:47] Gi
    That's why joy, sadness, and madness.
[07:52] Gu
    What I don't understand
[07:54] Gu
    is why the technique that you created
    cannot bring you happiness.
[08:01] Gu
    It's so unfair...
[08:07] Gi
    Ouka has another form.
[08:11] Gu
    Yes.
[08:13] Gu
    Or, perhaps, one that you
    could call its true form.
[08:18] Gi
    Its true form.
[08:20] Gu
    Is this... your technique?
[08:44] Gu
    Behold.
[08:46] Gu
    All this is your doing!
[08:55] Gu
    In the end, my own weakness,
[08:59] Gu
    which forced me to use Ouka
    to defeat you, pains me!
[09:04] Gu
    You would... kill me?
[09:08] Gu
    I will show you no mercy.
[09:11] Gu
    Die, Joujin.
[09:46] Gu
    It doesn't matter what Ouka is.
[09:50] Gu
    We must give it up.
[09:53] Gi
    Yes.
[09:55] Gu
    But as long as we're together,
[09:59] Gu
    we cannot escape it.
[10:02] Gu
    So I have decided what I will give up.
[10:06] Gi
    You would leave me again?
[10:23] Gi
    No!
[10:23] Gi
    Give me another chance, Hachirou!
[10:38] Gi
    The Shielding Eye...
[10:40] Gi
    That's right.
[10:42] Gi
    This is what I always should have done.
[11:03] Gu
    Hibiki!
[11:08] Gu
    No...
[11:11] Gu
    Now, you'll never forget Ouka.
[11:16] Gu
    Or leave me...
[11:22] Gu
    Hibiki...
[11:24] Gu
    I'll never leave you again.
[11:27] Gu
    I'll spend eternity with you.
[11:33] Gu
    Fools...
[11:40] Gu
    Joujin!
[11:43] Gu
    Is that your answer?
[11:47] Gu
    You... died back there!
[12:07] Gu
    No way.
[12:09] Gu
    Tenzen?
[12:15] Gu
    It seems you know him.
[12:19] Gu
    The Tenzen cherry tree that blooms
    above Jison'in Village...
[12:22] Gu
    An immortal ninja gave the
    tree its name. Tenzen.
[12:27] Gu
    He was real?
[12:30] Gu
    So it seems.
[12:33] Gu
    Now, he lives within me.
[12:41] Gu
    I never thought she'd destroy
    her own eyes, though.
[12:45] Gu
    How dull.
[12:48] Gu
    In that case, forget about us!
[12:51] Gu
    I will.
[12:53] Gu
    But if I let you live, you'll get in my way.
[12:57] Gu
    What?
[13:03] Gu
    Even a pebble, alongside the road,
    can cause one to stumble.
[13:09] Gu
    You must be removed!
[13:22] Gu
    The technique you used to defeat Magoroku...
[13:26] Gu
    It seems to reflect an
    enemy's desire to kill.
[13:30] Gu
    An interesting technique.
[13:35] Gu
    But you will not use it on me now?
[13:43] Gu
    I assume we met in some other world,
[13:46] Gu
    and it failed to affect me.
[13:49] Gu
    And I have seen your weakness, too.
[13:56] Gi
    Hachirou!
[14:01] Gu
    Hibiki...
[14:03] Gi
    Hachirou, where are you?
[14:39] Gu
    Too easy.
[14:41] Gu
    Stupid child.
[14:42] Gu
    Joujin, aren't you embarrassed?
[14:47] Gu
    To survive using the power of Tenzen...
[14:52] Gu
    Of a mere ninja?
[14:55] Gu
    You plan to anger me, to draw
    out my desire to kill you?
[15:00] Gu
    You make me laugh.
[15:02] Gu
    Tenzen fell in love with Iga Oboro,
    the leader of her clan,
[15:07] Gu
    and even tried to rape her.
[15:11] Gu
    A true monster.
[15:15] Gu
    If you use the power of a worthless ninja
    like that to fulfill your ambitions...
[15:22] Gu
    Can you honestly be proud of them?
[15:25] Gu
    You give up less easily than expected.
[15:30] Gu
    I told you, it won't work.
[15:42] Gu
    Wh-What?
[15:55] Gu
    You used... Tenzen's desire... to kill you?
[16:07] Gu
    Tenzen, stop it... Tenzen!
[16:11] Gi
    Hachirou! Where are you?
[16:21] Gu
    Impossible...
[17:10] Gu
    Stop... Chou!
SIGN    Edo Castle
[17:17] Gu
    I don't like Tadanaga.
[17:21] Gu
    I don't believe him, either.
[17:23] Gu
    He tried to plot rebellion.
[17:28] Gu
    The fool.
[17:32] Gu
    But...
[17:36] Gu
    Who put him up to it?
[17:41] Gu
    Our destinies were decided
    by a battle between ninjas.
[17:46] Gu
    He and I were the only ones who
    knew that pathetic fact.
[17:52] Gu
    He still hates me...
[17:57] Gu
    It was all for the glory of the Tokugawa Clan!
[18:04] Gi
    Some say Tenkai lived for another
    decade, reaching over a century,
[18:09] Gi
    until he had fulfilled
    all his earthly desires.
[18:20] Gu
    W-Wait!
[18:24] Gu
    I...
[18:28] Gi
    The tenth year of the Kan'ei Era.
[18:30] Gi
    December. Tokugawa Tadanaga commits
    seppuku at the Shogun's order.
[18:37] Gi
    Few people knew that the true
    Tadanaga had already died.
[18:47] Gi
    And the cherry blossoms bloomed
    and fell several times...
[18:58] Gi
    Get 'em, Shichigen!
[19:00] Gi
    Just you wait, Utsutsu...
[19:02] Gi
    I won't lose today!
[19:03] Gi
    Rui! Come see!
[19:06] Gi
    Come and get me.
[19:08] Gi
    They're at it again...
[19:10] Gi
    Is Hachisu really a girl?
[19:13] Gi
    Let's go.
[19:14] Gi
    Shikibu, wait!
[19:18] Gi
    Saizou, what was that for?!
[19:19] Gi
    I'm helping.
[19:21] Gi
    I don't need your help.
[19:23] Gi
    I'm a samurai!
[19:25] Gi
    Then I'm on Hachisu's side.
[19:27] Gi
    Everyone, food's ready!
[19:29] Gi
    Come on back!
[19:30] ---
    Yay! Food!
[19:32] Gi
    Hibiki-san, we'll come to get you soon!
[19:37] Gi
    Okay!
[19:38] Gi
    I'm going to stand here and
    enjoy the wind a bit longer.
[19:46] Gu
    I see...
[19:48] Gu
    You cannot see, and Hachirou isn't here?
[19:52] Gi
    Joujin!
[19:56] Gi
    But on that day... Joujin...
[20:00] Gu
    Died?
[20:03] Gu
    It's true that I died, once.
[20:06] Gu
    But...
[20:08] Gi
    Tenzen.
[20:10] Gu
    I'd expect no less from the Iga leader.
[20:14] Gu
    Nobunaga-sama has returned to hell,
[20:17] Gu
    and Hachirou is gone.
[20:20] Gu
    And you have destroyed your own eyes,
[20:23] Gu
    so you can no longer use Ouka.
[20:26] Gu
    But there is one last thing you can do.
[20:31] Gu
    That's right...
[20:32] Gu
    I shall fill you with the seed of life.
[20:36] Gu
    And you will bear our child.
[20:41] Gu
    No one will come to save you.
[20:43] Gu
    Give up and become mine!
[20:51] Gu
    Your blood...
[20:53] Gu
    If your blood and mine combine,
[20:57] Gu
    perhaps we can create a
    technique to surpass Ouka.
[21:02] Gu
    With your blood and mine, we shall
    make this world a living hell.
[21:36] Gu
    Hachirou...
[22:00] Gu
    It's so bright and windy today...
