[00:00] [SONG] Opening
    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.
[00:10] Gu
    Oh, dear...
[00:13] Gu
    Who's there?!
[00:14] Gu
    Perhaps, now, your treason will be revealed.
[00:18] Gu
    Damn you—
[00:23] Gu
    Hello again, Suruga-sama.
[00:26] Gu
    Wh-Who are you?
[00:29] Gu
    Oh, my. Have you forgotten me?
[00:37] Gu
    Suruga-sama, it is I.
[00:49] Gu
    J-Joujin...
[00:51] Gu
    E-Everyone, come here! Intruder!
[00:57] Gu
    I won't let you fool me again.
[01:00] Gu
    I will never...
[01:01] Gu
    Suruga-sama,
[01:03] Gu
    first, put away your sword and sit.
[01:07] Gu
    We might be talking for a while.
[01:20] Gu
    I was a fool...
[01:23] Gu
    It was only a moment,
[01:25] Gu
    but your honeyed words deceived me.
[01:27] Gu
    And I thought to take my
    brother's place as ruler.
[01:33] Gu
    I never spoke to you of anything as simple
[01:39] Gu
    as becoming ruler of Japan.
[01:41] Gu
    What?
[01:43] Gu
    I told you to become a god who rules.
[01:54] Gu
    The forest... The forest moved!
[01:57] Gu
    You said that my wish would come
    true, unless the forest moved...
[02:02] Gu
    But it did!
[02:05] Gu
    Those were mere monkeys.
[02:08] Gu
    Just groups of monkeys that were
    seeking a new place to live.
[02:15] Gu
    You know this.
[02:18] Gu
    You slew so many of them.
[02:23] Gu
    The moving forest was simply
    a fantasy of yours.
[02:31] Gu
    Tadanaga-sama, get a hold of yourself.
[02:35] Gu
    Such weakness will only put you in danger.
[02:41] Gu
    I cannot have a man who wanted
    to be a god feeling such things.
[02:46] Gu
    A god commands, and all the
    laws of this world change.
[02:52] Gu
    Suruga-sama, that is what you must be! A god!
[02:58] Gu
    But a man cannot become a god...
[03:02] Gu
    Was there not such a one?
[03:06] Gu
    A man who became as close
    to a god as one could be.
[03:11] Gu
    Oda Kazusanosuke Nobunaga-sama!
SIGN    The Butterfly Dances
[05:22] Gi
    When I see you in my dreams,
[05:28] Gi
    it seems it is because
[05:41] Gi
    you are telling me to die for love.
[06:14] Gi
    The hell you saw was no illusion.
[06:18] Gi
    It is real.
[06:22] Gi
    It is the true hell.
[06:36] Gi
    There are too many.
[07:01] Gi
    Rui ran this way, right?
[07:03] Gi
    I think so.
[07:33] Gi
    Let's go.
[07:34] Gi
    Yeah.
[07:41] Gu
    Well done, Utsutsu...
[07:44] Gi
    Do you think you can learn anything?
[07:47] Gu
    I'll have to take a closer look.
[07:50] Gu
    This is fascinating, though.
[07:53] Gi
    Those girls are crazy.
[07:56] Gi
    They almost put themselves in danger.
[08:00] Gu
    Then you came back at the perfect time.
[08:13] Gi
    I thought we'd never bathe together again.
[08:17] Gi
    Indeed, it's strange.
[08:20] Gi
    They called themselves the Rain.
[08:24] Gi
    Who are they?
[08:25] Gi
    The Rain?
[08:26] Gi
    A group of brigands who attacked us.
[08:31] Gi
    Well, regardless,
[08:33] Gi
    you and Namenba saved us, this time.
[08:37] Gi
    You owe us.
[08:39] Gi
    Yeah. I promise to repay you.
[08:48] Gi
    It's getting cold... Let's go.
[08:52] Gi
    Hey...
[08:57] Gi
    I'm going back.
[09:04] Gi
    An illusion...
[09:08] Gi
    I want you to show me one of your illusions.
[09:12] Gi
    Something so pretty, no one has ever seen it.
[09:18] Gi
    I'm sorry.
[09:20] Gi
    The only illusions I can show are of hell...
[09:25] Gi
    The endless hell that comes
    after the end of the world.
[09:30] Gi
    It is an awful technique.
[09:41] Gu
    And?
[09:52] Gu
    Head straight back.
[10:04] Gu
    High Priest Tenkai?
[10:08] Gu
    This is Namenba.
[10:10] Gu
    She saved Princess Sen, granddaughter
    of His Divine Lordship Ieyasu,
[10:17] Gu
    from the burning Osaka Castle.
[10:20] Gu
    During the Osaka Summer Campaign.
[10:26] Gu
    Namenba, do you know me?
[10:31] Gi
    Yes.
[10:32] Gi
    To borrow the words of the
    man hiding in the rafters,
[10:36] Gi
    you are His Holiness Nankoubou Tenkai.
[10:39] Gi
    The most trusted councilor of Lord Ieyasu.
[10:41] Gi
    You were deeply involved in
    the Houkouji bell's naming
[10:46] Gi
    that led to the Osaka War.
[10:49] Gu
    And Tenkai asked for help
    defeating the Joujinshuu?
[10:56] Gi
    I guess so.
[10:58] Gi
    You want us, the Iga,
    to help defeat the Joujinshuu?
[11:03] Gu
    Joujin is trying to end Tokugawa rule...
[11:05] Gu
    No, the peaceful era that has finally come...
[11:10] Gu
    to return us to the civil wars.
[11:14] Gu
    This must not be allowed to happen.
[11:18] Gu
    But you're aware that he and his men
    will not be easy to deal with.
[11:27] Gi
    Indeed.
[11:29] Gu
    Will you put aside our differences,
[11:31] Gu
    to fight with me, for the sake of all?
[11:35] Gu
    The Divine Lord Ieyasu did not unite Japan
[11:40] Gu
    merely for the sake of his own ambition...
[11:44] Gu
    It was for the sake of all people.
[11:49] Gi
    Jeez, you wouldn't believe the
    crap that stupid priest said.
[11:53] Gu
    Sounds like a crafty old man.
[11:58] Gu
    Interesting, I suppose.
[12:10] Gi
    Thanks, come again.
[12:12] Gu
    I'll take dumplings and tea.
[12:14] Gi
    Sure, coming up—
[12:17] Gi
    Shichigen!
[12:18] Gu
    Make 'em piping hot.
[12:47] Gu
    We met at Takasaki, in Kouzuke.
[12:50] Gu
    At Tadanaga-sama's residence.
[12:52] Gi
    What was Hachirou doing there?
[12:55] Gu
    Tadanaga-sama called him there.
[12:57] Gu
    He told Hachirou to crush the Joujinshuu.
[13:00] Gu
    And what was the reply?
[13:02] Gu
    "Hell, no."
[13:05] Gu
    And so, they attacked with rifles.
[13:09] Gu
    Mere samurai can't best Hachirou
    and our techniques.
[13:17] Gu
    We killed many.
[13:20] Gu
    Where's Hachirou?
[13:22] Gu
    He said he isn't coming back.
[13:25] Gu
    He'll finish this himself.
[13:28] Gi
    Right now, there's no point in thinking
    about Hachirou anymore.
[13:32] Gi
    Let's just be glad we found out where he is.
[13:35] Gu
    Hibiki, forget him.
[13:39] Gi
    Hey, who are you?
[13:42] Gu
    I'm Ishi Saizou, one of the
    Five Treasures of Kouga.
[13:46] Gu
    Got a problem?
[13:47] Gi
    What?
[13:48] Gi
    That's right.
[13:50] Gi
    If that's here, he'll certainly...
[13:54] Gi
    Indeed.
[13:55] Gi
    Our current job
[13:58] Gi
    is to learn more about that castle
    before Hachirou's return.
[14:03] Gi
    Agreed?
[14:06] Gu
    Indeed.
[14:10] Gu
    But the Rain... What do we do about them?
[14:17] Gi
    I will go.
[14:28] Gu
    Times like these...
[14:34] Gu
    are what I'm here for.
[16:03] Gi
    Your technique really is amazing.
[16:08] Gi
    Don't worry.
[16:10] Gi
    I promise that I'll protect you.
[16:39] Gu
    Who is that man?
[16:41] Gu
    I've seen him somewhere before.
[16:43] Gu
    Damn, I can't remember.
[16:57] Gu
    How are you feeling, Kazusanosuke-sama?
[17:05] Gu
    Oda Nobunaga?
[17:07] Gu
    He died in the flames at Honnouji...
[17:38] Gu
    That was close...
[17:57] Gu
    Let's go. Hurry.
[18:24] Gu
    They're persistent.
[18:25] Gi
    Paddle harder, or you'll
    be caught in it, too.
[18:45] Gi
    Go.
[19:02] Gu
    Is it okay, leaving it to her alone?
[19:06] Gi
    She isn't alone.
[20:38] Gi
    This is pretty useful.
[20:47] Gi
    It seems the weak ones have begun to stir.
[20:52] Gi
    They must be quite surprised by the
    appearance of the Murakumo.
[20:57] Gi
    And there are more surprises in store...
[21:27] Gu
    Who are they?
[21:30] Gi
    The soldiers of Kishuu.
[21:47] Gu
    It seems I'd do best to hurry.
