[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.
[00:20] Hi
    Where are we?
[00:33] H
    What are you doing?
[00:34] Hi
    Is that you, stupid Kouga brats?!
[00:47] Gu
    That isn't fair!
[00:49] H
    He's the one not being fair, wearing armor!
[00:54] Gu
    You little...
[00:58] Gu
    No kunai.
[01:00] Gu
    I didn't tell you to kill each other.
[01:02] Gu
    You're going to fight together and train.
[01:07] Gu
    But it isn't for the sake of the Kouga.
[01:10] Gu
    Nor for the Iga.
[01:12] Gu
    It is all for the sake of our leaders.
[02:56] Gi
    That girl?
[02:58] Gi
    She's going to be our leader?
[03:00] Gi
    Let's test her.
[03:02] Gu
    They said no kunai.
[03:04] Gi
    I won't hit her.
[03:05] Gi
    I just want to see her frightened.
[03:38] Gu
    She senses her enemies' antagonism
    and neutralizes it.
[03:42] Gu
    That is the eye magic of the Five
    Flowers of Iga's leader, Iga Hibiki.
[03:46] Gu
    Eye Shield Magic.
[03:49] Gu
    A little girl like that?
[03:51] Gu
    Then, he's...
[03:57] Gu
    Hachirou?
[04:00] Gu
    Wait, Saizou!
[04:21] Gu
    What was that?
[04:22] Gu
    You almost died.
[04:25] Gu
    Even if you intended to miss,
[04:27] Gu
    even the slightest intent to kill...
[04:30] Gu
    Hachirou's eyes turn that antagonism
    back upon the enemy.
SIGN    The Kouga Must Die
[04:49] H
    Calm down, Hibiki.
[04:52] Hi
    You're being selfish, Hachirou!
[04:54] Hi
    Utsutsu, Hachisu, Rui...
    Why do you think they're here?
[04:58] Hi
    Saizou, Shichigen, Shikibu, too...
[05:01] H
    I know.
[05:03] H
    I may be betraying them all.
[05:06] Hi
    Then let's try it.
[05:08] ---
    Try it?
[05:09] H
    If this is our end,
[05:12] H
    then let's see what awful things
    our eye magic can do!
[05:21] Gu
    Kazuma!
[05:22] Gu
    Kazuma, where are you?
[05:24] Gu
    What happened, Kazuma?!
[05:29] Gu
    Did you hear?
[05:30] Gu
    His Heaven's Lyre.
[05:33] Gu
    If the Heaven's Lyre plays, it means
    his opponent is surely dead!
[05:47] Gu
    Kazuma...
[05:58] Gu
    Don't die on us, Kazuma!
[06:01] Gu
    Kasou...
[06:03] Gu
    Right.
[06:04] Gu
    I'll get you off that thing!
[06:05] Gu
    Kasou, did you hear that?
[06:08] Gu
    My ultimate technique, the Heaven's Lyre.
[06:13] Gu
    I'm about to hear its true melody.
[06:18] Gu
    Now, listen to it with me,
[06:21] Gu
    the melody of the completed Heaven's Lyre...
[06:25] Gu
    No, Kazuma!
[06:26] Gu
    No...
[07:01] Gu
    Such is the fate of the ninjas.
[07:04] Gu
    To offer their lives to devils, in pursuit
    of their techniques' completion.
[07:10] Gu
    Their desire knows no bounds.
[07:15] Gu
    You killed Tenshin and Kazuma?
[07:18] Gu
    But even if one were to master such a trick,
[07:21] Gu
    it would be a mere child's trick,
[07:25] Gu
    fit for no more than removing one's own head.
[07:29] Gu
    How ephemeral, how sad...
[07:32] Gu
    Kusanagi Kazuma.
[07:34] Gu
    He ended his life as a big
    fish in a small pond.
[07:39] Gu
    Wha—
[07:40] Gu
    Wait!
[07:41] Gu
    Who are you?
[07:43] Gu
    Etiquette demands that one names oneself
[07:47] Gu
    before asking another's name.
[07:51] Gu
    Well, in fact,
[07:53] Gu
    I am well aware that you are the
    famous Five Treasures of Kouga.
[08:00] Gu
    The Five Treasures?
[08:01] Gu
    It seems that one is missing...
[08:05] Gu
    Yes, isn't your leader Kouga Hachirou?
[08:09] Gu
    He is still a child.
[08:12] Gu
    Did he get scared and run?
[08:15] Gu
    Die!
[08:35] Gu
    Kasou, wait.
[08:57] Gu
    Kasou...
[08:59] Gu
    No... It's impossible!
[09:05] Gu
    How about that?
[09:07] Gu
    Your name...
[09:08] Gu
    Give me your name!
[09:11] Gu
    The Joujinshuu...
[09:13] Gu
    Not that you would know it,
    even with my telling you.
[09:16] Gu
    But I am one of them, Kujaku Tsuibamu.
[09:20] Gu
    I don't understand.
[09:22] Gu
    Why would the Joujinshuu
    rise against the Kouga?!
[09:28] Gu
    I don't know if it will
    help to tell you this.
[09:31] Gu
    But we aren't simply the Five
    Treasures of Kouga's enemies.
[09:37] Gu
    What?
[09:38] Gu
    The Five Flowers of Iga
    will also die tonight.
[09:43] Gu
    Nonsense.
[09:45] Gu
    You cannot yet tell if it's nonsense or not?
[09:48] Gu
    Or have you realized that your death is nigh,
[09:52] Gu
    and has the fear robbed you of your reason?
[09:57] Gu
    I'm afraid I'm too old to fear death!
[10:01] Gu
    Aging is a sad thing...
[10:05] Gu
    You may act as strong as you like,
[10:07] Gu
    but you cannot hide the thick
    sweat on your forehead.
[10:11] Gu
    There's no further call to speak, correct?
[10:16] Gu
    Indeed.
[10:17] Gu
    Very well, then!
[10:23] Gu
    Let's see you finish me off, too...
[10:27] Gu
    If you can!
[10:34] Gu
    You are a fool, Kujaku Tsuibamu!
[10:37] Gu
    My technique, the Firefly Squid,
[10:39] Gu
    does not release only light.
[10:42] Gu
    You failed to realize it holds
    a deadly poison, as well!
[10:50] Gu
    What?
[10:51] Gu
    Which of us is the fool?
[10:54] Gu
    Wh-Why didn't it work?
[10:57] Gu
    I don't know if it's Firefly
    Squid or a common squid.
[11:00] Gu
    But in the end, no poison can
    work without contact...
[11:05] Gu
    There's no cause for surprise.
[11:07] Gu
    Even the Kurokuwa shinobi
    were capable of flight...
[11:14] Gu
    Which ninja line are the Joujinshuu from?!
[11:18] Gu
    Ninja?
[11:19] Gu
    We are not like you poor creatures,
[11:23] Gu
    who can only serve their
    lord and live in secret.
[11:26] Gu
    What?
[11:27] Gu
    The longer the Tokugawas flourish,
    and that the peace lasts,
[11:33] Gu
    the less need there is for ninjas.
[11:36] Gu
    Perhaps this is a joyous thing for you,
[11:39] Gu
    to die before you see the end of the ninjas.
[11:42] Gu
    Enough with your nonsense!
[11:52] Gu
    Oh, my!
[11:59] Gu
    A strange sight, is it not?
[12:01] Gu
    The light from my sweat derives from
    the fact that, since childhood,
[12:06] Gu
    I've filled my body with
    many different poisons.
[12:09] Gu
    This is the power of a ninja's technique!
[12:12] Gu
    A light gained after great effort,
    pain, and suffering!
[12:40] Gu
    So I...
[12:42] Gu
    I was right?
[12:48] Gu
    I guess you figured it out?
[12:52] Gu
    Indeed.
[12:53] Gu
    The flow of time
[12:56] Gu
    went backwards.
[13:04] Gu
    Time went... backwards?
[13:07] Gu
    Impossible.
[13:09] Gu
    Such a technique is impossible...
[13:14] Gu
    Oh, dear!
[13:15] Gu
    You noticed, but refuse to admit it?
[13:18] Gu
    That stubbornness will destroy you.
[13:24] Gu
    Impossible.
[13:26] Gu
    It truly is a happy thing,
[13:30] Gu
    death by the coursing of your poison.
[13:34] Gu
    Well, die slowly, then.
[14:01] Gu
    Forgive me for dying with
    my task unfulfilled.
[14:08] Hi
    What's wrong?
[14:10] H
    I heard Gei'in's voice!
[14:12] H
    Gei'in... No, the Five Treasures have died!
[14:17] H
    I heard his voice...
[14:19] H
    They were all defeated!
[14:22] H
    I'll go on ahead!
[14:26] Gi
    The Five Treasures died?
[14:29] H
    I hope that I'm wrong.
[14:31] Gu
    No, if that was how it seemed
    to you, then you were right.
[14:35] Gu
    The Five Treasures are now dead.
[14:38] Gi
    But by whose hand?
[14:40] GU
    If all four were defeated,
[14:43] GU
    the enemy is very skilled,
    or came in great numbers.
[14:47] GU
    Either way,
[14:48] Gi
    the Five Treasures would not be defeated
    without much preparation.
[14:53] H
    So they were the target from the beginning?
[14:56] H
    Then, next...
[14:58] Gu
    Most likely, yes.
[14:59] Gu
    Hachirou, I cannot let you go now.
[15:04] Gu
    With the Five Treasures gone,
[15:06] Gu
    I cannot go against their will.
[15:14] Gu
    Wait.
[15:16] Gu
    Wait!
[15:18] Gu
    First, the Five Flowers of
    Iga must be informed.
[15:22] Gu
    I don't want the Iga to avenge us.
[15:25] Gu
    At your age, what can you do?
[15:29] Gu
    Let us leave it to Rui.
[15:30] Gu
    She is the fastest.
[15:32] Hi
    But if we're telling the Five Flowers,
    I, their leader, should...
[15:36] Gu
    You have to stay here, Hibiki.
[15:39] Gu
    For our sake.
[15:41] Gi
    Anyway, I don't know if the Five
    Treasures are really dead,
[15:46] Gi
    but do we need the Iga to help?
[15:49] Gi
    You're still talking that way?
[15:51] Gi
    The Kouga and Iga share a fate.
[15:53] Gi
    Yesterday, Kazuma seriously tried to kill me.
[15:58] Gi
    He got what he deserved.
[15:59] Gi
    Utsutsu!
[16:00] Gi
    It was because you interfered.
[16:03] Gi
    But did he have to go that far?!
[16:06] Gi
    Utsutsu, you have it out for them too much.
[16:08] Gi
    They're not that bad.
[16:10] Gi
    You didn't realize it, Rui?
[16:13] Gi
    That Shichigen guy looks harmless,
[16:17] Gi
    but whenever he has a free second,
    he's staring at your boobs.
[16:22] Gi
    He wants to get his hands on them.
[16:24] Gi
    What?
[16:26] Gi
    Why do we have to keep hanging
    out with these guys?
[16:29] Hi
    Enough, Utsutsu!
[16:31] Hi
    Whether we avenge the Kouga or not,
[16:34] Hi
    we must do our jobs.
[16:36] Hi
    That's why we were brought
    here. For times like these.
[16:47] Hi
    I'm counting on you.
[16:48] Gu
    Shichigen, fulfill the duty
    you volunteered for.
[17:15] Gu
    Stay close.
[17:16] Gu
    We don't know when the enemy will appear.
[17:20] Gu
    Hey, can't you hear me?
[17:22] Hi
    Yes.
[17:23] Gu
    Then, don't lower your guard.
[17:24] Gi
    That's why my guard's up.
[17:27] Gi
    The enemy may be closer than I expect.
[17:43] Gu
    I'll send my eyes up.
[17:45] Gu
    You... Hmm, watch to the north—
[17:48] Gi
    Do not give me orders!
[17:49] Gi
    I will decide where I'll look.
[18:09] Gi
    That's creepy, no matter how often I see it.
[18:12] Gi
    And it's inconvenient, too.
[18:13] Gi
    It lets you see far away,
[18:16] Gi
    but it leaves your eyes and body wide open.
[18:20] Gi
    What if you lose your eyes?
[18:22] GU
    I don't care.
[18:24] GU
    To protect Hachirou, I'd give
    up an eyeball or two.
[18:28] Gi
    Hmph, what is everyone's problem?
[18:31] Gi
    Fine. North, right?
[18:35] Gi
    You watch carefully, too.
[18:44] Gi
    Have the Five Treasures of Kouga really died?
[18:50] Gi
    If Hachirou said so, then yes.
[18:53] Gi
    If he said so, he's right.
[18:56] Gi
    I see...
[19:03] Gi
    Does it itch?
[19:08] Gi
    Hey.
[19:09] Gi
    If it itches, take it off.
[19:11] Gi
    I'll help you.
[19:13] Gi
    No!
[19:15] Gi
    Don't touch me.
[19:19] Gi
    I'm sorry.
[19:20] Gi
    I didn't mean anything by it.
[19:22] Gi
    I'm sure you didn't.
[19:31] H
    Are you going to watch me all night?
[19:34] Gu
    That is correct.
[19:36] Gu
    And there is a hiding place under the floor.
[19:39] H
    A hiding place?
[19:41] Gu
    Come out only at the very end.
[19:43] Gu
    That is why they're here.
[19:54] Gu
    They're late...
[19:59] Gu
    Is that you, Gei'in?
[20:00] Gu
    Are you back, Gei'in?
[20:04] Gu
    Forgive my impudence,
    but may I have your name?
[20:09] Gu
    Are you Suruga Dainagon?
[20:16] Gu
    Are you Suruga Dainagon?
[20:21] Gu
    Indeed.
[20:24] Gu
    Ruler of the rich lands of
    Suruga and Tootoumi,
[20:28] Gu
    and the Dainagon.
[20:31] Gu
    In other words, after the
    former shogun, Lord Hidetada,
[20:35] Gu
    and the current shogun, Iemitsu-sama,
[20:38] Gu
    you are the third-most important
    in the Land of the Rising Sun.
[20:41] Gu
    But also the most unfortunate.
[20:46] Gu
    What... did you say?!
[20:48] Gu
    I will not forgive such words!
[20:55] Gu
    I am afraid that, someday,
[20:57] Gu
    your own noble neck will be
    exposed to the blade.
[21:04] Gu
    S-Silence, scum...
[21:06] Gu
    Kneel before me, so I can execute you now!
[21:10] Gu
    Execute me?
[21:12] Gu
    Suruga-sama, it will be you who is executed.
[21:18] Gu
    Silence... Silence!
[21:20] Gu
    Impudent scum!
[21:21] Gu
    And your executioner
[21:26] Gu
    will be your brother, Shogun Iemitsu!
[21:33] Gu
    What nonsense.
[21:35] Gu
    Do you wish to know if it is truly nonsense?
[21:40] Gu
    You have noticed the feelings
    he has hidden in his heart.
[21:46] Gu
    Who... Who are you?
[21:48] Gu
    My name is Joujin.
SIGN    Preview
[23:26] Gu
    Tokugawa Tadanaga.
[23:27] Gu
    Grandson of the shogun, Ieyasu, who began
    the Tokugawa's-300-year reign.
[23:31] Gu
    He never became shogun,
    and committed seppuku.
SIGN    The Joujinshuu Appear
[23:36] Gu
    Thus say the history books.
