[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.
SIGN    Land of Iga, Near the Iga Village
[00:18] Gu
    Come out!
[00:19] Gu
    I know you're there.
[00:22] Gi
    The whole world comes down
    to the roll of the dice.
[00:28] Gi
    They roll and roll on the mat.
[00:32] Gu
    A woman?
[00:34] Gi
    You dream and dream. And at the end,
[00:39] Gi
    you will eventually die.
[00:44] Gu
    Well, that was quite the poem.
[00:50] Gi
    Oh, my.
[00:51] Gi
    You're giving me money?
[00:53] Gu
    It will pay your fare across the Sanzu River.
[00:56] Gi
    What a strange thing to say.
[00:59] Gi
    Why would I cross the Sanzu River?
[01:01] Gu
    You can't fool me.
[01:04] Gu
    If anyone breaks my root barrier,
[01:07] Gu
    the impregnable defense of
    the Five Flowers of Iga,
[01:10] Gu
    they won't escape, no matter who they are.
[01:14] Gi
    These roots are a barrier?
[01:17] Gi
    Then, you are Tsuta Houetsu-sama?
[01:20] Gu
    So you're some fox, from
    somewhere? What's your name?
[01:24] Gi
    I shall tell you, as a gift
    before your death.
[01:28] Gi
    I am Yasha Itaru.
[01:30] Gu
    Don't make me laugh!
[01:32] Gu
    You're the one who'll be receiving a gift.
[01:35] Gu
    No, you're as good as dead...
[01:38] Gu
    Taste my ninja technique! Root Lasso!
[03:23] Gu
    You can't move. How sad...
[03:27] Gu
    Now, what to do with you?
[03:33] Gu
    But...
[03:35] Gu
    Killing you quickly...
[03:39] Gu
    would be a shame.
[03:54] Gi
    How disgusting.
[03:55] Gi
    Aren't you ashamed for a member of the Five
    Flowers of Iga to behave in such a way?
[04:01] Gi
    Aren't you ashamed to look in the mirror?
[04:04] Gu
    Mirror?
[04:28] ---
    Oh?
[04:29] Gi
    You saw your pathetic life, didn't you?
[04:34] Gi
    A meaningless life, with no joy,
[04:38] Gi
    and without pride.
[04:42] Gi
    I understand...
[04:44] Gi
    Despair that makes you wish for death.
[04:47] Gi
    In that case...
[04:57] Gi
    Fall from that cliff, and die!
[05:06] Gi
    Once you look into this mirror and
    know the futility of your life,
[05:11] Gi
    you cannot escape my Destiny's Passage.
SIGN    The Joujinshuu Appear
[05:26] Gu
    Suruga-sama, have you forgotten me?
[05:31] Gu
    It was years ago, of course,
[05:35] Gu
    when your brother, Lord Iemitsu,
    was afflicted with the pox.
[05:43] Gu
    When the great priest Tenkai
    prayed for his health,
[05:48] Gu
    I accompanied him.
[05:51] Gu
    Yes. I was there, as well...
[06:01] Gu
    But why would that priest do
    something to mock me?
[06:06] Gu
    Me?
[06:07] Gu
    No, were those words not your own?
[06:13] Gu
    What?
[06:19] Gu
    What did you say?
[06:21] Gu
    "Someday, my brother will slay me,"
[06:28] Gu
    I said.
[06:29] Gu
    S-Silence!
[06:31] Gu
    Nonsense...
[06:33] Gu
    I... I would never say that!
[06:36] Gu
    Magoroku.
[06:37] Gu
    Yes, sir.
[06:42] Gu
    I am Kujaku Tsuibamu...
[06:45] Gu
    I am Rinne Magoroku.
[06:48] Gu
    We've no choice. Do it to him.
[06:51] Gu
    Are you quite certain?
[06:54] Gu
    It's fine. Make him remember.
[06:59] Gu
    As you wish.
[07:52] Gu
    What is this place?
[07:52] Gu
    What Rinne Magoroku has manifested
    here is Akyashagaruba,
[07:58] Gu
    the Kokuuzou Bosatsu.
[08:02] Gu
    The original meaning of the word
    "akyasha" was "void,"
[08:06] Gu
    and "garuba" meant "womb."
[08:08] Gu
    In other words, the source from
    which things are born.
[08:13] Gu
    Put another way, Kokuuzou Bosatsu
[08:16] Gu
    is as infinite as the void.
[08:20] Gu
    His own universe. His own spacetime.
[08:24] Gu
    Universe?
[08:26] Gu
    The skill of Rinne Magoroku,
[08:30] Gu
    is to manifest this Kokuuzou Bosatsu.
[08:33] Gu
    It is called the Adamantite Tower.
SIGN    The Adamantite Tower
[08:55] Gi
    A man?
[08:57] Gu
    Yes.
[09:00] Gu
    How much do you know?
[09:03] Gu
    About men...
[09:04] Gi
    How much?
[09:05] Gi
    I know they're brutes, and bratty, and stink.
[09:09] Gu
    No, I'm not talking about that.
[09:11] Gu
    How much do you know about men's bodies?
[09:14] Gi
    What are you saying?
[09:16] Gu
    It's about our skills.
[09:17] Gu
    Your skill and mine are similar.
[09:20] Gi
    I know...
[09:21] Gi
    You can summon bugs.
[09:23] Gu
    You've heard that this power
    goes beyond that, right?
[09:28] Gu
    My skill is to seduce women to my will.
[09:32] Gu
    And your skill is...
[09:35] Gi
    You don't know anything about women, either.
[09:39] Gu
    No...
[09:40] Gu
    I'm not interested in girls.
[09:48] Gu
    Houetsu!
[09:49] Gu
    Houetsu!
[09:53] Gu
    Shuugetsu... Izuma.
[09:55] Gu
    Have you found him?
[09:56] Gu
    Then, that voice was...
[09:59] Gu
    No, that's impossible.
[10:01] Gu
    A man like Houetsu could not be defeated.
[10:03] Gu
    Find him!
[10:07] Gu
    Is this the man you're searching for?
[10:15] Gu
    Am I wrong?
[10:16] Gu
    Or can't you tell?
[10:18] Gu
    I can understand why.
[10:19] Gu
    Everyone's face looks this way
[10:22] Gu
    after they've been struck by
    Yasha Itaru's Destiny's Passage.
[10:26] Gu
    Houetsu!
[10:28] Gu
    Who are you? Give me your name.
[10:31] Gu
    My name?
[10:33] Gu
    It's a little hard to remember... Neirichiou.
[10:38] Gu
    Neirichiou?
[10:39] Gu
    I'll try to remember that.
[10:41] Gu
    No, I will have to.
[10:44] Gu
    I'll need to write it on your grave.
[10:48] Gu
    Oh, how nice!
[10:50] Gu
    You'll dig my grave,
[10:52] Gu
    and mark it with my name?
[10:55] Gu
    Then, you must defeat this, as well...
[11:21] Gu
    Are you all right, Suruga Dainagon-sama?
[11:25] Gu
    I feel so dizzy...
[11:28] Gu
    Just wait a moment.
[11:30] Gu
    You will get used to it.
[11:32] Gu
    Used to what?
[11:34] Gu
    The flow of time.
[11:39] Gu
    You are walking, not through space,
[11:42] Gu
    but through the flow of time.
[11:45] Gu
    You are walking backward, into the past.
[11:50] Gu
    The past?
[11:51] Gu
    What are you saying?
[11:53] Gu
    Someday, your brother will slay you.
[11:58] Gu
    We are revisiting the moment
    at which you thought this.
[12:06] Gu
    My skill, the Inverted Halberd of Time,
[12:10] Gu
    makes the gears of time run backward.
[12:13] Gu
    If I scattered all these sands of time,
[12:17] Gu
    there's no way to know how far we'd go.
[12:21] Gu
    Don't worry.
[12:22] Gu
    As long as they are sealed in there,
[12:25] Gu
    he can only travel back a short time.
[12:29] Gu
    Right now, we are borrowing the power
[12:32] Gu
    of this space to go a little further back.
[12:36] Gu
    Impossible...
[12:39] Gu
    Now, it appears we have come
    back to the correct time.
[12:48] Gu
    Brother...
[12:50] Gu
    This is when he was younger.
[12:52] Gu
    Are you showing me illusions?
[12:55] Gu
    It is no illusion.
[12:58] Gu
    You remember it.
[13:00] Gu
    You are seeing the time and place
    when a young Iemitsu-sama
[13:06] Gu
    was afflicted with the pox.
[13:09] Gu
    Is that... me?
[13:12] Gu
    Suruga-sama.
[13:19] Gu
    This is... I remember this.
[13:22] Gu
    Strangely, no attendants or
    serving girls were around.
[13:26] Gu
    I was alone with him.
[13:34] Gu
    Brother, how are you feeling?
[13:39] Gu
    Are you in pain?
[13:41] Gu
    Brother... are you all right?
[13:45] Gu
    Just wait, Brother. I'll get a doctor—
[14:13] Gu
    A dream...
[14:15] Gu
    Then, it was a dream?
[14:17] Gu
    No, it was no dream.
[14:21] Gu
    Indeed.
[14:22] Gu
    It was all real. You saw
    it with your own eyes.
[14:28] Gu
    Takechiyo-sama,
[14:30] Gu
    Iemitsu-sama has never forgotten it.
[14:35] Gu
    When he was at death's door,
[14:40] Gu
    you were at his bedside,
    the picture of health.
[14:46] Gu
    The feelings he had toward you,
[14:50] Gu
    the envy the sick have for the
    wealth of the able-bodied...
[14:58] Gu
    That is impossible to change.
[15:01] Gu
    I was...
[15:02] Gu
    Back then, I was simply praying
    for my brother's recovery...
[15:08] Gu
    Your personal thoughts are irrelevant.
[15:12] Gu
    The important thing is that, on your face,
[15:17] Gu
    your brother saw the joy and ambition of
    the one who would be the next shogun.
[15:26] Gu
    You lie...
[15:28] Gu
    You just saw it for yourself, did you not?
[15:37] Gu
    E-Even if my brother did think
    that, for a moment...
[15:43] Gu
    That's all over!
[15:46] Gu
    There's no need for him to be jealous!
[15:50] Gu
    Then, why did the Kurokuwa attack you?
[15:56] Gu
    The Kurokuwa of Iga pose no threat
[15:58] Gu
    to the people, but they work
    directly for the Shogunate.
[16:03] Gu
    So why did they act against your will?
[16:07] Gu
    It makes no sense.
[16:09] Gu
    Then...
[16:11] Gu
    Yes.
[16:12] Gu
    You, yourself, had doubts about this.
[16:16] Gu
    And you choked back the words
    that appeared in your heart.
[16:20] Gu
    "Has my brother sent them to kill me?"
[16:26] Gu
    S-Silence! Silence!
[16:29] Gu
    Your tone of voice tells me that I am right.
[16:34] Gu
    You have realized this, as well, haven't you?
[16:38] Gu
    Your brother's jealousy still remains!
[16:43] Gu
    Impossible... Impossible!
[16:46] Gu
    Resolve yourself to rebellion!
[16:48] Gu
    What?
[16:50] Gu
    Rebellion.
[16:54] Gu
    There is no other way to survive.

[17:15] Gu
    Joujinshuu?
[17:20] Gu
    Is this the name of the group
    Gei'in and the others fought?
[17:35] Gu
    We're almost to the Iga village.
[17:37] Gu
    What's wrong?
[17:42] Gu
    This is...
[17:55] Gu
    Rui!
[17:56] Gu
    Yeah, over here, too...
[18:07] Gu
    Are these the Five Flowers of Iga?
[18:10] Gu
    Let us pray that they are not.
[18:18] Gu
    The forest...
[18:19] Gu
    Yes, unless the forest is moved,
    failure is impossible.
[18:24] Gu
    What?
[18:25] Gu
    I heard such a story from the barbarians.
[18:29] Gu
    And in accordance with the story,
    I shall make you a promise.
[18:34] Gu
    D-Do you mock me?!
[18:38] Gu
    A forest could not move!
[18:42] Gu
    Indeed, it is impossible.
[18:44] Gu
    And that is why I say that
    this rebellion cannot fail.
[18:52] Gu
    Suruga-sama...
[18:55] Gu
    Become a god!
[19:05] Gu
    They have returned, it seems.
[19:13] Gu
    These are...
[19:18] Gu
    Shogyou Kareha, Tsuta Houetsu,
    Irootoroe Itsuma.
[19:24] Gu
    And Suiren Shuugetsu.
[19:27] Gu
    These are the heads of four of the
    famous Five Flowers of Iga.
[19:33] Gu
    Did you do this?
[19:37] Gu
    I am Yasha Itaru.
[19:43] Gu
    Two remain.
[19:46] Gu
    Two... remain?
[19:48] Gu
    The Five Treasures of Kouga's
    leader, Kouga Hachirou.
[19:53] Gu
    And the Five Flowers of
    Iga's leader, Iga Hibiki.
[19:57] Gu
    Why have you done this?
[20:00] Gu
    To demonstrate our power to you.
[20:05] ---
    And also...
[20:08] Gu
    Out of our desire that your mother survive.
[20:15] Gu
    You would even save my mother?
[20:23] Gu
    I don't like pain...
[20:25] Gu
    I wonder if it hurts when you die.
[20:29] Gu
    I don't... like pain.
[20:33] Gu
    I don't—
[20:34] Gi
    Don't think about it too much.
[20:36] Gu
    But...
[20:38] Gu
    For Hachirou's sake...
[20:42] Gi
    You could die?
[20:44] Gu
    Yeah.
[20:45] Gu
    Same as you, Hachisu.
[20:47] Gu
    You'd die for Hibiki.
[20:49] Gi
    For Hibiki? No, I wouldn't.
[20:52] Gi
    For us.
[20:54] Gi
    Because we need Hibiki and Hachirou's magic.
[21:01] Gi
    We need their blood.
[21:11] Gi
    Utsutsu... Utsutsu!
[21:19] Gi
    What are you doing?
[21:23] Gu
    The sky. Look at the sky!
[21:25] Gi
    The sky? What about the sky?
[21:28] Gi
    Why can't you see it?
[21:29] Gi
    Are your eye sockets empty?!
[21:31] Gi
    Shut up!
[21:33] Gi
    My eye sockets aren't the empty ones.

    They're here.
