**[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.
***SIGN*** Jison'in Village
***SIGN*** Joujinshuu
**[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.
**[21:35] Gu**
They're here.
**[21:39] Gu**
My eyes... Really?
